Yeeeah...about that...

I kind of laced your rabbit chow with skooma. Thought it would keep you out of my garden. Just sayin', I'm tired of cleaning up your messes afterwards.

Askthepizzaguy Mafia

Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 7th, 1983.



Night Five



Cultured Drizzt Fan was at a fancy soiree after winning all those chips. It was at a billionaire's penthouse suite at the top of the skyline of the city. How rich was this rich guy? Well, he had an Olympic-sized swimming pool on the roof of the building... and it was filled with sharks with fricking lasers attached to their fricking heads.

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "Cool fish tank, bro. I mean, uh, err...... what a rather charming display of opulence, I daresay."

The figure behind him turned around in his chair, revealing a bald man in a gray suit, stroking a hairless cat.

Unknown: "Yes. Gentlemen, welcome to my mid-town decadent penthouse suite lair. It cost over 100 million dollars."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "So, like, what kind of sharks are those?"

Unknown: "Megalodon."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "Megalo-what?"

Unknown: "Me-ga-lo-don."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "Never heard of that kind of shark before..."

Unknown: "That's because they've been extinct for one and a half MILLION years."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "So, why are there two of them in your swimming pool?"

Unknown: "When I became rather wealthy I hired a medical doctor by the name of Michael Crichton. He told me about an idea he had for a novel which would serve as a cautionary tale on unconsidered biological tinkering in the same spirit as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; it uses the mathematical concept of chaos theory and its philosophical implications to explain the collapse of an amusement park showcasing genetically recreated extinct species. When I heard this idea I knew I could achieve what he had only begun to dream of. You see, I had already thought of this idea and had begun doing research into the genetics of long-extinct species. Within precisely 4 years 12 days 16 hours 5 minutes and eleven seconds, my highly-paid team of genetically modified trained monkeys had finally unlocked the secret of the long-extinct terrible lizard or "dino-saur". The term is derived from the Greek words deinos meaning "terrible" and sauros meaning "lizard". With the advent of the Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation device or "L.A.S.E.R" I was finally able to achieve my life-long dream of having fricking sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their heads. Although I must admit I should have gotten a larger pool to put them in."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "Yes, they seem rather wedged in there."

Unknown: "Yes unfortunately a slight miscalculation. There's not enough room for the water, so we have to spray them down with a hose every 5 minutes or so. They also require a lot of shade, as this wonderful penthouse lair and its rooftop swimming pool is in direct sunlight during the entire day. I have to pay a team of Belgian prostitutes to hold umbrellas and make sure the animals do not shrivel up like prunes."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "I don't think they can even turn their heads to fire the laser at anyone."

Unknown: "That doesn't really matter, because they look really cool. You're just jealous that you do not have Megalodons with lasers attached to their heads in your penthouse suite. You don't think very highly of my laser dinosaur sharks, do you?"

Cultured Drizzt Fan: "No, I'm actually quite the cultured dino-laser fan."

Unknown: "I don't believe you. Vinnie, Tony, FIRE LASERS!!!"

The sharks do nothing but lie half-dead in the waterless pool, with their fins hanging over the side of the building.

Unknown: "Didn't anyone train the megalodons to fire the lasers on command? Who was in charge of this? What do you mean I never told you to train them? YOU IDIOTS!!! When an evil genius creates prehistoric monsters from fossilized DNA, and attaches lasers to their heads, it's IMPLIED that you have to train the monsters to fire the lasers! HELLO??? GOOD JOB, b-holes! Why do I have to do everything myself. Mini-me, attack the intruder!"

Mini-me: .......

Unknown: Mini-me, attack! Sic him, boy! Get him! Kill it, and I'll give you a piece of fish.

Mini-me: ......meow.

Unknown: Can't anyone do anything right? I'm the boss. I need to be able to kill things on command, otherwise what kind of an evil genius am I, really? Throw me a frickin' bone here.

Cultured Drizzt Fan: So, can I leave now?

Unknown: No. You'll never leave this place alive. I've prepared for this eventuality with several plans I made in advance, code named A through H. Preparations A through G were complete failures but now I am ready to unveil my final and most awesome plan, PREPARATION H.

Cultured Drizzt Fan: You do realize you're a total rip-off of Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies, right?

Unknown: Austin what? It's the year 1983. The Austin Powers movies.... haven't been made yet. *raises pinky and places against side of mouth*

Cultured Drizzt Fan: The fourth wall has been utterly desecrated today.

Unknown: Fine, grow a sense of humor! It's time for you to die. Belgian prostitutes with machine guns located strategically on their chest, escort mister Fan to his death, or what I would say is his "FINAL DESTINATION 2."

Cultured Drizzt Fan: You steal people's ideas and then put quotation marks around them like you thought of it first!

Unknown: And you owe the Boss a lot of money you haven't paid him.... a total of ONE HUNDRED BILLION.... KAJILLION.... FUFILLION.... SHABBA-DABBA-DOO SHABBA DEE-ILLION.... yen.

Cultured Drizzt Fan: How much is that in US dollars?

Unknown: Twenty five cents. Now throw him in!

*The Belgian prostitutes with machine guns located strategically on their chest grabbed mister Fan and threw him in the Olympic pool filled with two megalodon sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. One of the sharks opened it's mouth and chomped down on mister Fan. And then he was no more!*

Unknown: Okay, here's the plan. We'll show up tomorrow and stack the deck in our favor. And then we will be able to collect..... one million dollars!

Wager: 87 Diana

Okay

You can just wager it all.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Actually, since you have so much...that's probably more than diana.

In which case, if the others have more than 30 left, they can both self protect in case of a failed lynch. Hmm. Assuming they will have enough to outbid the next day.

Can everyone state how much money they have left?

[Romanic]

Split is very likely innocent because of vote #10 on day 5 (see my previous post). If he was mafia, bussing his partner was totally unnecessary after a winning tally on vote #9 (Diana 141, Arpeg 80).

Diana appears innocent to me because of the wager battle she entered with Arpeg on Day 5. Going all out early against each other does not strike me as mafia behavior. I think they would have waited to see what's happening before doing such a move.

civplayah's vote #4 on Day 5 put Arpeg ahead of the tally, and although this isn't a standard mafia game, putting your partner ahead is a tough thing to do. At this point the tally was very unclear (Diana 10, Arpeg 5 after only 3 votes).

That leaves Double A: So far I'd bet on him to be the remaining mafia.

Thank you, finally someone sees this. I totally agree, Double A is the last mafia (good job at blending in Double A). This is our last round, must get it right or we loose.

Wager 75: Double A

[Splitpersonality]

Fold

Wager 87: Double A

[Sasaki Kojiro]

arpg called split and double A as the mafia team before he was under fire

[Splitpersonality]

So what's that mean?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Diana is OBV scum. OBV scum. Trust me on this.

That's amusing, since I voted for him (and pointed this out) twice after you fos'd him in the first round and nobody took notice. If you're right, it means you'd have singled out two scummy characters on the first day and would be eligible for much kudos.

I'd be more interested in going after Double A though, especially given that pathetic RL excuse last round.

No Beskar, wrong again! I didn't know she wanted to die early if she wasn't mafia. Only found this out after YOU put it in thread. But thanks for thinking I could be so devious.

Well I guess someone has to vote 1st, I will, to get this going.

Wager 5: ArpeggiateTHIS

Wager 5: Diana

Pure scum to come out of hiding when her name is mentioned.

Come out of hiding? Mine was the 1st vote this phase. I haven't been hiding all game scum.

Raise 25: ArpeggiateTHIS

I could quote the whole interaction but they are just way too confidant that the other is scum. So it is a planned bus.

When he wasn't under fire, arpeg was naming split and double A--scum are unlikely to name their partners near the end like this for no reason, because then they have to explain why they aren't lynching them.

Arpeg came under major suspicion from me and romanic though. So a bus is a good strategy.

If you guys do that we will loose, didn't last phase teach you guys anything, I pushed for a lynch on Arpeg and HE was mafia, I am not.

Last phase was supposed to teach us that she was innocent.

Thank you, finally someone sees this. I totally agree, Double A is the last mafia (good job at blending in Double A). This is our last round, must get it right or we loose.

Pure balony. "I totally agree, Double A is the last mafia (good job at blending in Double A)" ??

[Romanic]

arpg called split and double A as the mafia team before he was under fire

What? Where??

[Sasaki Kojiro]

89 Split
75 Diana
59 civplayah
40 Double A

Double A only has 40, another point in his favor, scum would be motivated to be more careful with credits. He dropped a 25 credit vote at the time when the credits where flying in the triple figures and no mafia was at threat.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

What? Where??

Also, I said day 2:

hmm. I'm somewhat tempted to lynch arpegg, feeling a bit like an arpegg-diana scumteam.

Based on this post:

Wager 3 credits: Seon I don't see the scum all over Arpeg either. I do see it with Seon's vote though.

Which didn't seem genuine. I think it's worthwhile giving weight to early gut feelings that have gotten covered up with time.

Other notes:

Conserving credits seems to be a win/win strategy for this game.

Arpeg on top of the "conserve credits" strategy for mafia, doesn't fit with double A's play.

[Romanic]

Yeah, I agree that Arpeg fingering Double A in that post is odd. I don't think he would name his partner like this.

[Romanic]

What Arpeg said and what he believed is not necessarily the same. His wagers were:

Arpeg - Sasaki 20, Split 5, Split 5, Beskar 22, Diana 48

He wasted 52 credits in the first four rounds, so he wasn't exactly playing to conserve his credits.

Anyway, his strategy may have been different than his partner, so following, or not following, the same strategy than Arpeg is not an argument we can use to find the remaining mafia.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The 20 on me were before he said it and to save jolt. The 22 on beskar he got forced into by his own math. That's all fringe stuff anyway though.

Of course if split doesn't turn up to switch back to diana we lose anyway.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Diana is obviously mafia scum.

Diana appears innocent to me because of the wager battle she entered with Arpeg on Day 5. Going all out early against each other does not strike me as mafia behavior. I think they would have waited to see what's happening before doing such a move.

That's exactly the reason they went all out against each other - so the surviving mafia would get a round of relief. And going at each other from the beginning was necessary. Pulling that stunt any later makes it much more revealing.

I know this move, I've seen it in half of the mafia games I've hosted.

Look at how she accused split and Arpeg together last round. This round, however, she doesn't push anymore against split and jumps on double A the minute you provide her an excuse to. Note that she didn't vote for anyone until you provided the excuse.

She's the last mafia.

Wager 75: Double A

This is NOT a "Lynch or Lose" situation Diana. Everyone can afford to protect themselves at night (for 30 credits) so townies should be betting the minimum amount to lynch our target.

If we do this correctly, we still have 2 shots at winning.

I strongly suggest that you lower your bets to keep enough for night protection. Lynching Double A should cost no more than 41 credits.
