Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Kommodus]

I have very little time right now, so:

Vote: woad&fangs

Just a mild gut feeling based on his one post. Which is, in all probability, wrong... but I don't see anything better at this point.

[shlin28]

I figure there is only 1/14.5 chance of him being mafia which is a very slim chance, but after being burnt twice i can't let it happen again, i think i would have more trust in PK further down the line so i guess it isn't just a kill sasaki vote....

It is 1 in 18 actually... Try to make it sound as though the town actually has a chance in lynching the mafia? when you know for fact that the mafia is you yourself... I am onto you Mr. AFIA!

FoS LittleGrizzly

Unvote: EF

Will figure out who to bandwagon later

[GeneralHankerchief]

There was a question a few pages back about double lynches. In the event of a tie I'll call a revote between the top vote-getters.

If everybody votes "abstain" then I will have no choice but to WoG the person who started the trend.

[LittleGrizzly]

It is 1 in 18 actually...

lol my maths is a bit off today, i was thinking 39 players in total (but thats including me twice) i was including the 2 dead players, one of them could have been mafia, so yeah 1 in 18 chance pretty much assuming the 2 killed were townies...

[shlin28]

Why would mafia kill mafia?

Logic wins again

Edit: Even if it was 39, it still wont be 1/14.5, it would be 1/19.5... FoS LittleGrizzly

Edit: Even if it was 39, it still wont be 1/14.5, it would be 1/19.5... FoS LittleGrizzly

yeah like i said my maths is a bit off today, for some reason i halved 29 instead of 39

Both the mafia now each other, seems a bit obvious now it didn't occur to me when i made the post though...

[shlin28]

Bah, 30 minutes till end of phase, might as well Vote: LittleGrizzly , I'm onto you you mafioso

[Privateerkev]

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my town.

Tally:

Sasaki: 9 (Ichigo, discovery1, |Sith|R|AntiWarmanCake88, CR, KukriKhan, Rythmic, Sigurd Fafnesbane, LittleGrizzly, EF)
PK: 9 (PK, Roadkill, TinCow, Sarathos, Seamus Fermanagh, peverpink, Sasaki, Fenring, kagemusha)

Elite Ferret: 2 (woad&fangs, makaikhaan)
Sarathos: 2 (TevashSzat, CountArach)
LG:2 (FH, Shlin28)

Kagemusha: 1 (Tiberius of the Drake)
Quintus Julius Cicero: 1 (Gaius Scribonius Curio)
Shlin28: 1 (Beefy187)
makaikhaan: 1 (Andres)
Andres: 1 (Craterus)
woad&fangs: 1 (Kommodus)

[GeneralHankerchief]

Right, due to the .Org being updated I'm going to give everyone some more time to finalize their votes. Voting will close in about 18 hours.

This probably goes over Andres's imposed 48-hour limit, but due to circumstances this is the fairest way.

[TevashSzat]

Okay, I don't know whats going on with the bandwagon, but I will unvote, vote:PK since I think Sasaki is simply bandwagoned on by mafia members after the first few "traditional" first votes on him

Tally:

PK: 10 (PK, Roadkill, TinCow, Sarathos, Seamus Fermanagh, peverpink, Sasaki, Fenring, kagemusha, TevashSzat)

Sasaki: 9 (Ichigo, discovery1, |Sith|R|AntiWarmanCake88, CR, KukriKhan, Rythmic, Sigurd Fafnesbane, LittleGrizzly, EF)

Elite Ferret: 2 (woad&fangs, makaikhaan)
LG:2 (FH, Shlin28)

Sarathos: 1 (CountArach)
Kagemusha: 1 (Tiberius of the Drake)
Quintus Julius Cicero: 1 (Gaius Scribonius Curio)
Shlin28: 1 (Beefy187)
makaikhaan: 1 (Andres)
Andres: 1 (Craterus)
woad&fangs: 1 (Kommodus)

[woad&fangs]

unvote: EF; Vote: Factionheir

Someone mentioned something about his first post being a "nudge" of sorts. I remember using this technique in Mafia VII.

My way too early prediction is that FactionHeir and Craterus are the mafia.

Also, the bandwagons on Sasaki and PK are just silly. Let's have both sides unvote and spread some votes around. A sort of mafia detente if you will.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Mafia VIII is not appearing in the Gameroom on my screen. Instead, I had to go to the sign-up link posted in the announcement? Part of the .org redux we've been having?

Anyone else experiencing same?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Shows up fine for me.

Are you sure it's not just because the stickies are jumbled together with the regular threads?

[Csargo]

Show's up fine for me as well.

[seireikhaan]

Forums have gotten jumbled around a bit, but I can still access it (mostly) normally.

[Andres]

Right, due to the .Org being updated I'm going to give everyone some more time to finalize their votes. Voting will close in about 18 hours.

This probably goes over Andres's imposed 48-hour limit, but due to circumstances this is the fairest way.

No problemo. These are exceptional circumstances, so an extension beyond the 48-hour limit seems reasonable

[Sarathos]

Yeah, the forums are going a little crazy, my account is showing me as being moderator, or is that just me wishful thinking.....

[Sigurd]

Okay, I don't know whats going on with the bandwagon, but I will unvote, vote:PK since I think Sasaki is simply bandwagoned on by mafia members after the first few "traditional" first votes on him

Right... so you think mafia is bandwagoning Sasaki and not PK?
Are you in the informed minority? Are you trying to establish lynch candidates in the next rounds?

unvote Sasaki, vote: Tevash

[naut]

PK I love your WIFOM! Brilliant, I used to do that when I would play Mafia with my friends (i.e. using cards, Jacks being Mafia, etc). Worked everytime, they'd all rethink their vote.

[KukriKhan]

Same here at the moment (though I expect that to change). I'm betting it's because I'd made the thread a "personal stickie", and that feature hasn't yet been re-implemented. I reached the thread via a Favorites link.

unvote: Sasaki
vote: P-kev
Let's see how this plan progresses. (If Sasaki turns out mafia later, I'll shoot myself, LoL).

[Privateerkev]

Thank you.

And it is about time that people are finally realizing the Sasaki bandwagon was pointless.

[LittleGrizzly]

Im sorry but my votes sticking, i won't start any badwagons on sasaki without good reason but if we have something like the situation we have now sasaki would be my pick, in other words if i haven't got a reason to suspect sasaki or the other player close to a lynch.

Edit although tis of course tempting to be 3rd on my own bandwagon....

[Caius]

Vote:EF

[Ferret]

Why? That is a random vote if ever I saw one...

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting over.

Stand by for the execution.

[Privateerkev]

make it good...

:D

[Seamus Fermanagh]

make it good...

:D

This games is hosted by the founder...you need not fear.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Chief of Police Beirut looked out over the town square from the newly-constructed execution platform and swelled with pride. His charges, the villagers of the Frontroom, were doing their civic duty and voting! Granted, it was to horribly execute the person that had killed two of their own, but nonetheless they were voting. Beirut was so proud of them.

He walked down, off the platform, and towards the townspeople, hoping to catch snippets of their deliberations and glean valuable information towards every individual's psyche.

"Vote for me, it means I'm innocent!"

"I'm voting for him because it's tradition!"

Tradition? Beirut thought. That was weird... surely, none of them had ever done this before...

Well, at least they were voting, he supposed.

Eventually, all the discussion wore down, votes were cast, and Beirut, back atop the execution platform, called for order.

"Gentlemen," he began, "It is time to enforce your decision. Privateerkev, as per your... er... wishes, you will hereby and immediately be executed."

Privateerkev eagerly bounded up the platform, clapping his hands again and again and overall, looking like a small, hyperactive child who had a $100 gift certificate to the candy store. "Oh, goody!" he shouted over the crowd, "I can't wait to start! How'm I going to get executed? Hanging? Electric chair? Sharks with frickin' lasers?"

"Nope," Beirut replied incredulously. "To send a message to the mafia, your tongue will be removed and you will be buried alive with approximately 27 rather large tarantulas to keep you company." He pulled a rope and next to the execution platform, a sand pit and a large wooden crate with the words "DO NOT OPEN" stamped on it were revealed.

The color quickly drained out of PK's face and the world record for "fastest, most drastic facial expression change" was shattered.

"If you'll hold still, please," Beirut said, brandishing a large, rusty knife. "Open wide!"

Privateerkev started screaming at the top of his lungs and didn't stop until there was no more air to enter his lungs, some thirty horrible minutes later. Every single townsperson could hear him even through the large amount of sand placed over his and the tarantulas' bodies.

"Just a reminder, if you're a mafioso, the same fate or worse awaits you, Beirut said cheerily. If you'd like to confess now, then I can arrange a quick, humane execution instead."

Silence.

"No? Well then, go home everybody and hope you did your jobs."

Congratulations, you've just survived your first day phase! I'd also like to say thank you for voting, because having only 5 "no votes" in the first round is really impressive. PMs please.

[Privateerkev]

mmgmgmggmmmlllgmurglemmm

*puts tongue back in and brushes off the spiders*

Alright, FoS to anyone who was on that ridiculous Sasaki bandwagon. Anyone who piled on that one smells like scum.

[Ferret]

You're such a fool PK...I bet he was a detective or something
