Haiku Mafia III - The Prosen Throne [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

That sounds promising.
Game would be over if we
lynched no mafias.

[Subotan]

There are no reveals
If it looks as if there might
Look away, it ain't

[Subotan]

Secura was found
Lying all over the room
Still one scum to find


Diamondeye
Glemm
Atpg

Robbiecon
God Emperor

ArpTHIS
Secura

[Secura]

Twice in one hour?
My point is proven, really.
Big threat when townie?

[God Emperor]

the game is still on
that means robbie was scum
let's look back and see

[God Emperor]

I would vote DE
imo he has been lurking
that is a bad sign

robbie helped De
By voting arpeg day on1
then it was even

DE spoke against
the lynch of robbie the scum
Shall we lynch DE?

[Secura]

Wouldn't surprise me.
It's up to the living, though.
Make the right choice, gents.

[PershsNhpios]

I cannot but fear,
ATPG is the same,
Whether town or not.

If Diamond is scum,
He cheats the game by lurking,
Which ****es me off.

If ATPG?
I was right then from the start,
And should trust instincts.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Vote: DiamondEye

[Diamondeye]

Aha - one good lynch.
I think it might be GE.
And Glenn is his mate?

My instinct says so.
I will vote: Glenn then, and sleep.
It's three AM here.

[PershsNhpios]

Good, I am most pleased,
That my vote was rightly placed,
What say you Pizza?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Today, I vote:Glenn
He can't write a good haiku
not even spell "in".

DE "the scumbag":
Votes for Glemm right away here.
Leaves the Glemm alive?

A cherry-pip has,
More intelligence than you,
I vote: Diamondeye

OMGUS:
Reason why it is scummy.
Because scum do it.

Secura is right.
I don't like GE's third vote.
unvote; vote: GE

DE not with him.
If Emperor was a scum
DE was not one.

I feel uneasy.
Rarely do I ever get
"you seem innocent".

I still think this way.
It does seem odd that he would
write me off as clean.

Look at it this way:
If Robbie was innocent,
Prime suspect: GE

Very aggressive;
Necessary for townies.
Scum hate making foes.

If Robbie was scum,
Secura is prime suspect.
One of them should hang.

Attempted reason
And finger of suspicion
Trying to win game.

Fret not, I am here.
to unvote and vote:GE
and Glenn tomorrow.

Declares his intent;
This is good for a townie.
Very convincing.

It is one of two,
Who are mafia here,
DE... Secura?

Unvote; Vote: Diamondeye

Ever so wrong, Glemm.
Secura was not a scum.
And DE? You jest.

I cannot but fear,
ATPG is the same,
Whether town or not.

If Diamond is scum,
He cheats the game by lurking,
Which ****es me off.

If ATPG?
I was right then from the start,
And should trust instincts.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Vote: DiamondEye

DE did not lurk.
He was more active than you.
And tried harder too.

Aha - one good lynch.
I think it might be GE.
And Glenn is his mate?

My instinct says so.
I will vote: Glenn then, and sleep.
It's three AM here.

Glenn was forced to bus.
I believe he is the scum.
He was too passive...

Reactionary;
He was not a leader here
He took too few risks.

I can't overlook
DE's game as town or scum
Was better than Glenn's.

Congrats Diamondeye.
Now you must hold to the line;
Do not second guess.


Vote: Glenn

[PershsNhpios]

Congratulations,
Are due to Diamond alone,
Unless you're scum pizz'.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Congratulations,
Are due to Diamond alone,
Unless you're scum pizz'.

Fine! Name DE's friend.
Who was his scum partner, Glenn?
What's the big theory?

I can't find one match.
I don't think it's plausible.
You should have killed me.

[Subotan]

And Glenn was thus slain
Condemned for his treason
Pizza and DE

However, too bad
ATPG was just wrong
DE was his foe

DE cackled loud
Thrust his Western bayonet
In Pizza's belly

DE upped sticks
Fleeing into the dark night
A mafia victory

[Secura]

I know it's easy to say this in hindsight, but I would have gone with Diamondeye myself; there was just enough in Glenn's haiku that would make me give him the benefit of the doubt, principally his approach to Diamondeye's relative inactivity compared to everyone else, and I kinda just knew Pizza was town too... so DE was the only logical conclusion for me to make.

Very good call from Glenn and GE to get that right.

T'was probably unlucky for robbiecon to get lynched so early, but in a seven-man game with two mafia and no reveals at all, the town really needed that sort of luck to stand a chance of winning. I'd be interested to see the private discussions between you both and the thought processes behind each kill, at any rate.

I must admit that Glenn's exclaimation earlier does hold some merit, though; Diamondeye, you did drop off the radar a fair bit and cease posting while the town just discussed things around you, which for me isn't really the ballsy play I like to see from mafia in games of this size and was just a little bit too lurky for my liking, though I can understand why you did it considering your recent luck of being mafia in nearly every game you play! :P

For shame, good sir... but kudos on winning nonetheless.

[Subotan]

The town did have an extra boost, but the mafia neutralised it pretty early on, and even though it had a chance to come into play, you lynched the wrong guy in the second say.

[robbiecon]

A good job DE,
to deceive those around you
in this time of need.

I know I did not
have to write a haiku for this,
but I find them bliss.

Twas disappointing
to be killed off so early
but I guess that's life.

For Secura I
can tell you there was little chat
I send a PM once.

It stated Watsons,
if you catch my drift and no
words of significance.

I enjoyed it though,
while my stay was short and hope
to haiku again!

[Diamondeye]

After Robbiecon got smashed in the first round I just aimed at winning. I'm not too proud of diving below the radar and stop posting the last day once Pizza voted the way I wanted him to, but I had to do it to win.

Secura; There was no discussion of the kills. I made the calls.

[God Emperor]

gratulation diamondeye and robbiecon :)

Edit: I am actually a bit amazed by your activity in this game secura. . although I was lynched, you tried to give me a second chance .. and you showed mind-process that wasn't rigid in any way . Well done

[PershsNhpios]

Congratulations Diamondeye and Robbiecon! ATPG can't speak right now because his mouth is stuffed with ghostly words of the past.

[Secura]

The town did have an extra boost, but the mafia neutralised it pretty early on, and even though it had a chance to come into play, you lynched the wrong guy in the second say.

What was the extra boost, exactly? And I didn't lynch the wrong guy, I gave God Emperor a chance to redeem himself, remember? :P

Secura; There was no discussion of the kills. I made the calls.

I'd still be interested in how you picked your kills; I find that one of the most enchanting things about a mini-game is that the targets you pick as mafia have to be very specific and cause as much confusion as possible due to the smaller group of players for town to analyse. It's probably why I prefer them to larger games, really.

Edit: I am actually a bit amazed by your activity in this game secura. . although I was lynched, you tried to give me a second chance .. and you showed mind-process that wasn't rigid in any way . Well done

Well, there was something in your haiku that made me think "wait a minute, I've made that sort of empassioned plea as town before" and so I tried to reverse the lynch against you, but with an absent Pizza, puzzled Glenn and mafioso Diamondeye vying for your death, you didn't stand much of a chance unfortunately.

My activity was probably down to the fact that the haiku games are a great way for me to flex my creative muscles, so to speak, and that mini-games like this are always a challenge, something that I revel in far more than I do with larger games, which usually boil down to "is this the round I'm going to be killed?". :>

When I claimed that I had no idea there were two mafia, that was entirely true; I signed up for this game based on the title (since I enjoyed the first iteration so much), and didn't actually read the initial writeup at all. I went back and read it once people started talking about scum buddies and such, to make certain I was on the right lines. xD

What do you mean about the mind process part, though? *is genuinely curious*

[robbiecon]

Well, he picked the kills the same way I would have. Day 1, he probably felt ArpeggiateThis would not be bandwagoned again so decided to pick him off. For night 2, ATPG and you,Secura seemed to be the choices. A lynch was still obtainable on Glenn, so you have to keep him alive at the very least. It's all about planting seeds of doubt, and staying on the boundaries between full activity and total lurking.

[God Emperor]

I mean that townies can be very rigid once they have found a lynch target. . you went against your initial decision and that is a bit rare I think. . it's a good trait to keep an open mind at all times :)

and yeah I didn't knew there were two mafia's before you said so haha :p

Though it was naturally obvious for me to deduce that robbie was scum , DE's visit at my place the other day, sadly revealed a bit as well, although we didn't talk about the game ; DE has this awful habbit of slightly changing attitude, whenever a game name is mentioned and he has something to hide in that game :P

edit: yeah I love Haiku as well.. in fact I love poetry in general.. I sometimes spend my leisure time writing poetry hehe :p

Thanks for the game Subutan

[Askthepizzaguy]

My mind was open, but if you'd like, I can make a LOOOOONG list of games that I lost on the final rounds by changing my mind.

Sorry, Glenn acted like a scummer, and DE acted with greater risk, something I find rare in mafiosi in mini games.

[Diamondeye]

What was the extra boost, exactly?

I'd like to know as well!

I'd still be interested in how you picked your kills; I find that one of the most enchanting things about a mini-game is that the targets you pick as mafia have to be very specific and cause as much confusion as possible due to the smaller group of players for town to analyse.

Well... Robbiecon died the first day, which was a catastrophe. Looking at the remaining people, I couldn't in good conscience kill you, GE or Pizza on night 1. Mostly because it would point against me, but also because I am such a kind and compassionate person. So, between Arpeg and Glenn, I picked Arpeg. I felt at this point that Secura was good to keep around as she could be accused of being the buddy of both ATPG and Glenn, and ATPG could be the scumbuddy of both GE and Secura. I wanted to lynch GE the next day (assuming Robbie was innocent, since if it was found out he wasn't, I was dead anyway) and have someone left to blame.

I don't know if I am making jack sense here.

Second night was obvious. I had Pizza convinced of the Glenn/GE think. So Secura had to go, of course. Sorry, treacle

[Secura]

So Secura had to go, of course. Sorry, treacle

No need to apologise; I'd have voted you if I'd still been alive. :P

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

What was the extra boost, exactly?

About that: It was me. I was a politician and could either force somebody to vote with me, or force them to vote a certain person.

Lucky game actually, my first vote was against Robbiecon, and then my first (and only) ability use made Godemperor vote for Diamondeye. The game might have gone the other way had I not been cruelly, unjustly and harshly killed N1.

EDIT: Oh, and congrats to the mafia.
