Put me down as a reserve. I can't be quite as active as I'd like due to having recently moved, but I should be able to check in once or twice a day if you're short on players.

Re: A History of Violence [Sign-ups]
John sat on his bed, head in his hands. Times were hard, jobs were few and far between, and people would often yell obscenities at him as he walked down the street. His hometown was a stranger to him now. No longer would people stop and talk to him, no longer would they give him the time of day. He was out of money, out of luck and out of friends.
The war in Vietnam was not popular here, or in many other places around the state. He had heard on the news, when the landlord decided that he could have power, that vets around the country were being treated like filth. He had experienced it first hand and it wasn’t pretty. He had no idea what to do, the medication he was taking to combat his depression and PTSD were running out. He barely had enough money to afford another script; no-one would give a job to a Vietnam veteran now.
A surge of rage flew through John; he punched the wooden cabinet near his bed, putting a hole in it. The pain flared, increasing his anger as he started to destroy the cabinet in his mindless fury.
Days passed.
John was lying on his bed. He had run out of tablets. He could feel the flashbacks coming on. He didn’t want to go back there. He knew that if he went to sleep it would all come back, the memories he was trying to repress. The baby in the house next to him screamed. God how he hated that sound, he had heard it enough in Vietnam, he never wanted to hear it again. A car pulled up outside his house, it was probably another group of teenagers that were going to egg his house. He got his rifle and walked to the front of the door, when he heard the car driving away. Curious, he stepped outside.
“Remember me Johnny boy?” a voice asked.
John remembered that voice, his old sarge. The memories surged through him, as he fell to his knees.
“Johnny?”
The baby screamed again. John roared, grabbed his rifle and fired at the house. A scream was heard, and John fell to the ground as he was tackled.
“Goddamnit it John, now they’ll be after you!”. He went to run, when the father of the house walked out with a shotgun.
Seeing the father, John fired again hitting the father in the leg. The shotgun fell from his grasp and clunked on the ground as he screamed in pain.
“me. Come on Johnny, he saw us both, we gotta get out of here.”
The next day, the sheriff of the town announced a manhunt of two Vietnam veterans, one John Edwards and another unidentified as of yet, but was wearing a soldiers outfit. From their hiding place, they could see the town brandishing weapons. They had to get out of the town, but first they had to get John some medication. Unfortunately the hospital was heavily guarded. The Sarge sighed, any chance of a normal life for him was gone now, he grabbed ahold of John who had recovered briefly.
“Here, chuck these on, these are civilian clothes. We have to fit in.”
John nodded, and they changed and walked out to where the crowd had gathered, pretending to bay for their own blood.
Begin Day 1.
Day will end at approximately 4pm AEST (GMT +10)

Re: A History of Violence [Sign-ups]
That's awful.
Vote: Nightbringer
I've got some analysis to dump:
1. The Sheriff is leading the lynch effort.
The Sherrif is a Sheriff.
The Sheriff probably served in 'Nam.
'Nam vets stick together.
Ergo, the Sheriff must be a PC who can somehow aid the Mafia.
2. There should be a psychiatrist character who can deliver the meds to John via Night Action. This will cause John to give himself up; however, Sarge will still be keen to avoid conspcharges and will remain on the lam. At this point, the Town will be left to tear itself apart for the amusement of God.

More evidence that Reidquat was innocent. Check out Seon's reasoning for this vote.
Does this line smack of trying a bit too hard to slam Reidquat?
"defending someone who's trying to avoid a WoG and voting someone for voting in an OMGUS fashion, two sure signs of a thinking, plotting mafiosi"
Thinking, plotting mafiosi.
I didn't go after White_Eyes for his Wog-avoiding, and I OMGUS voted Seon. How does he react later, to the very same behavior he finds so scummy? With the opposite reaction as he does here.
Scumusha.
Incorrect Seon, he's Sexymusha.
Honesty, you want me lynched, don't you? But at the same time, Seon, I believe you would be exactly that ballsy as to leave me alive all game. You are just as bad as me.
If it were just Jarema on that team, I doubt I'd be here, but you... you are exactly the kind of slimeball who would use me as bait.
Final contribution to the game, jumping off of me with reasoning that shows he knows I'm innocent.
Seon pushes Arjos, but I think Arjos was innocent. In similar fashion to his previous posts, he globs on the "they're so scummy" paint on his paintbrush and smears Arjos as hard as he can.
I don't believe Seon was innocent, and I believe his being guilty completely explains both the violence in the writeups and my continued survival.
Seon and Jarema are guilty, and the trademark over-the-top violence that you'll find in the writeups points directly at Askthepizzaguy. It's all a game of WIFOM, a game that Seon plays nearly as well as I do.
That's game, set, match.
I do believe Lazy owes me an apology.

Re: A History of Violence [Sign-ups]
Oh, also:
If I'm correct that means I voted for both mafiosi using the tried and true, tested and proven, method of scum finding: OMGUS voting.
Do you guys remember the Buffy game where I annihilated most of the scum, as a vigilante, simply by destroying the folks who voted me?
This is that. OMGUS is not scummy, it is the single most townie move of all time. If that isn't clear by now, it never will be.

Re: A History of Violence [Sign-ups]
Conventional wisdom in a mafia game is to have Pizza lynched or murdered; the mafia will attempt to do one or the other because I am often successful in getting who I want lynched, lynched. If I'm townie then the odds are, I will accuse a mafia correctly and get them lynched at some point.
However, the conventional wisdom does not always apply:
1) Games with no reveal upon death means that I can't prove that I lynched a scum correctly. Which means I'm less dangerous to the mafia.
2) The longer I am left alive in a vanilla game, the more tempting I become as a lynch. Several mafiosi have successfully gotten me lynched in all-vanilla games, even recently. Games where neither scum ever got lynched. And since I am not proven innocent upon lynch, I generally give up and can't get my suspects dead.
Mafia X, Byzantium's Twilight, just to name two off the top of my head.
I am far less effective in vanilla no-reveal games because there is no protown network, and no way to prove my innocence, and I am always considered likely to be guilty, even though statistically, I am mafia roughly one out of ten games.
I'm also suggesting that the mafia team here thinks unconventionally, since it likely includes Seon as a member. The strategic thinking of that team is likely coming from him, and this game has Seon written all over it.
"Why are all the lynch bait being murdered?"
It's fricking Seon, that's why. Because he does things specifically to

Re: A History of Violence [In Play]
Contrariwise, look at the recent no-reveal games where I get murdered.
That's when I can generally prove or strongly indicate my innocence, and I fight back with impunity post-death.
The Island: I correctly nail the remaining scum.
Three Wolf Moon: I correctly nail the remaining scum.
The Mafia's comeback: I correctly nail the remaining scum.
Games where the mafia don't murder me in no-reveal vanilla games, are games where they generally do a whole lot better, often winning without a single loss. They nearly won the Campground game too, we only lynched the scums correctly and consecutively on the final two rounds, and I was the alternative lynch both times.
Mafia look at Pizza in vanilla games and go: A lynch bait is you!
And that's precisely the correct play. I've been the subject of more discussion and been accused more often than any other player in the game. The reason is simple:
I am Askthepizzaguy, and so can you.

After that you started cases etc on your own :P

Makes no sense but still seems epic....you are a pleasure to watch Pizzaguy.And that's precisely the correct play. I've been the subject of more discussion and been accused more often than any other player in the game. The reason is simple:

If your mafia Pizzaguy...I don't think you needed this much effort to win. Your kill choices were very well chosen and ATPG-lynch bait is never lynched until it's too late. If your town, you win a cookie and another "White_eyes:D is wrong rant".
