Capo de Tutti Capi [Concluded]

[Orb]

select: Beirut
I'd hate for our resident axe-swinging teddybear to be murdered.

[pevergreen]

teddy bear? Im getting mixed impressions of Beirut...

[Banquo's Ghost]

Select: Banquo's Ghost

As shown in Mafia V, he's clumsy and gullible enough to reveal any special role he has, so I'll feel safer having this bumbler as Director. I really don't trust a GeneralHankerchief to orchestrate things, not after Godfather I.

Hey, I lubs you too

[Proletariat]

Eh, we can always sack 'im in a couple of rounds if it doesn't pan out.

I'll Select: Sasaki.

[ByzantineKnight]

Select: Abstain

I dont know anyone...

19 People have yet to select.

Selection closes at 1200 (Noon) EST.

Of the 37 selection votes cast:

12 are for Beirut
8 are for Pevergreen
6 are for Sasaki
2 are for Ichigo and Kommodus respectively
Several singletons and 2-3 abstains

BOLD THOSE VOTES -- as things get fast and furious in later rounds, I do not want to miss one.

Please use "Select" for Director voting -- again, not an issue here, but in Round 3 etc. it could be.

[ByzantineKnight]

Sorry, I forgot...

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I will be in a business meeting from 1130 - 1415 EST. I will post the selection results shortly after that time on both threads.

Once selection closes at 1200 EST 1/17/7, our first "night" will have begun. At that time, ALL of you will be expected to PM me with your night-time actions.

While I understand that discussion and planning will likely slow your initial PMs to me, and while I will accept PMs and changes thereto up to the deadline for the 1st Night Phase (1200 EST 1/18/7), I encourage you to get your PM's to me by 0900 to facilitate a smooth writeup.

Thanks!

[Don Corleone]

I like Kommodus's way of thinking, but there's a few newbies that ought to be able to live for a few rounds in this game.

I agree with Pannonian... BG's got too much of a moral compass to play director and have a mafia role... he'd spill it if it looked like he was going to win...

Select: Banquo's Ghost

Of the 37 selection votes cast:

8 are for Pevergreen
6 are for Sasaki
2 are for Ichigo, Kommodus and Banquo's Ghost

I think the gamewise we would benefit from having a townie for director in the first round. But please not a n00b, that won't work. So that narrows the choice down to Kommodus and one other on this list...


Select: Kommodus.

[HughTower]

But please not a n00b, that won't work.

No, of course, of not. What was I thinking? We must humbly spend our days admiring & patiently learning from the 'veterans' until we have reached full Mafia maturity.

I now know why, with how this first 'blind' vote has gone, they say that knowledge is power. And also why they say that power corrupts.

Personally, I would find it hard to justify placing a vote for someone into an important role, who has so far said nothing in this particular game. Now that's what I call an election manifesto in a game about communication - silence.

Aye !

Well, we certainly can't be sure the person we select isn't mafia. But the problem with selecting new players isn't that they don't know anything. It's that we don't know if they know anything. We have nothing to make a judgement on. It would be similar to selecting someone who hasn't said anything in this particular game.

The Lawman came with the sun.
There was a job to be done.
And so they sent for the badge and the gun
Of the Lawman.

Sunset – Day One

“Well, now, your votes say you’ve selected Beirut as your initial Director of the Committee of Public Vigilance. I must say, though he’s a newcomer here, most of us are aware of his track record as a lawman in some of the toughest towns these past few years – you’ve made a fine choice. Beirut….”

Beirut walked forward, steadily, his features just a hint paler than typical. He kept hearing murmurs from the room….Beirut….swings a mean axe…willing to act in a crisis… thought Beirut as he reached the lectern He reached the lectern. Chief Fermanagh handed him a lapel badge – the rods and axe – and shook his hand.

“Congratulations. I know you’ll do us proud. As a reminder to you all, Beirut will administer the lynch voting for tomorrow and the next day, he’ll decide the method of execution and cause them to be carried out, and he’ll resolve any ties in the voting by whatever means he sees fit. We’ll have another round of voting to select the next Director on the day after tomorrow if our problems aren’t solved by then. That vote’ll run at the same time as Beirut’s 2nd lynching vote – if we need a second.”

Seamus gazed out over the room, the atmosphere inside was as gloomy as the weather without.

“I have sad news to relate as well. This afternoon a note was found pinned to the old Coast Guard Watchtower bulletin board. The note was written by Mithradites Seleukios. He claimed he wasn’t comfortable here anymore and that he was taking a leave of absence – perhaps forever. Seemed a little cryptic to me, but my precinct captains report that he has disappeared without a trace. With this gang threat looming over us, I’m not sure what to make of it – just thought you should know. A good night to you all.”

But would it be?

Voting for someone fresh seems sensible, at least at this early stage, as they have no past bias to call on. I would vote for myself, but I
I guess it's too late to influence anyone's decision.


Select: Pevergreen

edit - Aw cmon, did i really just miss it?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Folks:

Please don't get into a pissing contest about new/veteran players.

This venue is -- by all accounts -- pretty distinct, so the playing field is more-or-less even for all.

New folks joining the gameroom group can only bring more enjoyment for all -- so I encourage all of you to do just that. Have some fun.

[Zalmoxis]

Missed it, but I couldn't log in yesterday, seems I've caught the flu.

[Lord Winter]

Sorry I was gone so I missed it.

I see to many alusions to GF I. Giving someone a " fun role they deserve is the exact way we elected the Godfather. It's espiclly troubling the masterminds of that strategy (Saskii and GH) are each driving there own canidates.

[Louis VI the Fat]

No, of course not. What was I thinking? We must humbly spend our days admiring & patiently learning from the 'veterans' until we have reached full Mafia maturity.

I now know why, with how this first 'blind' vote has gone, they say that knowledge is power. And also why they say that power corrupts.

Gah! I have n00bs like you for breakfast!


('though of course it's wiser to defuse the situation by pointing out I'm just a first-time player myself. The 'n00b' thingy was just some self-deprecating humour. As is, I'm scared, clueless and desperately trying to figure out the rules. About to panic, really.

But as my backroom brawlies know: sheer and utter cluelessness never deters me from posting the most outrageously pompous statements. )

[The Stranger]

i missed it... couldt be on sooner... i have exam periods now :P really good time... stupid exams.. screwing up my maffia game...

Who wants to be recruited by me?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Sorry to intrude but.....


PLEASE keep your PM boxes open enough to send/receive messages from me. I cannot answer your question or send you results (later) unless your mailbox has enough space to accept them.


....you may now return to your regularly scheduled paranoic discussion.

[The Stranger]

Since when did you become a SM?

[Sir Boo]

Who wants to be recruited by me?

Oh pick me

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Since when did you become a SM?

Got a very polite little note from Sir Cleggy about 3 weeks back as I recall. Was a nice attaboy, but alas I still can't seem to locate the secret clubhouse with the virtual transformation entrance to the Babe thread. Probably for the best since I'd scare the poor lasses.

[CountArach]

Sorry, was busy and missed the vote.

[Major Robert Dump]

There are three families according to the first page. This means that between the families Lucas we could possibly lose 3 townies tonight.

Between all the wiseguys working in their groups of 3 they could kill 4 townies. Wiseguys working with made family members only need 1/1 for a kill, but there are currently only 3 mades in the game so that means if the mades work with the families we could see up to 6 kills.

Townies need 4 for a kill, so they could get around 7

So on the high end we could lose up to 14, but i doubt the townies and wiseguys will be able to coordinate that well, and I'd be willing to bet the Lucas forgoe killing to protect their bosses tonight.

Also, Mades can act in a townie killing as one of the 4 members

My estimate: we lose 4 people tonight

[Beirut]

I've been elected though I chose not to run
Now I've a badge, a title and gun
The job'll be tough, like the rope we'll be cinching
Round somebody's neck when we gets to the lynching
So be sure to bring beer, enough for the gang
'Cause drunk mobs are best when the innocent hang

hee-hee-hee

[Major Robert Dump]

You are so dead

[pevergreen]

I would presume by posting that he is mafia. But hes not retarded enough to post that, so you think he isnt mafia. But he would also have come to that conclusion, posting it so it looks like he isnt mafia and mafia at the same time.

(oh, recruit me!)

[Motep]

...I was finally able to get on for more than 10 minutes...and it turns out I missed something...ah well. ( )...what?

...I have nothing to say...
