BuffyVerse Mafia: Apocalypse Now [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

No, let's outright lynch DiY. Voting for the tie has become a cop out.

[thefluffyone93]

Vote Yaropolk

Continue the tie

NO TIE FOR YOU.

Unvote; Vote: Death is Yonder

[Romanic]

@Autolycus : Are you willing to disclose how ties will be handled?

[Link]

Vote: Link

Link has been a very inactive lurker in the past few games I've played with him here. He always ends up being a suspect 5-7 rounds in because of this fact. Since this round is going to be all random voting anyway let's at least take out someone we know we may waste a vote on down the road.

unvote, vote:link

Let's say 2 more votes.

Getting to the org is so out of my way. I gotta type it in, press enter, click on it. So much work. That said, no need for the votes, people. I am here, and I intend to be active. Random.org says Vote:acin

Buffy Season 1 Episode 1: The Hellmouth

Buffy and Willow are patrolling through the graveyard. Willow clutches a flashlight, Buffy a stake

Willow: So what did Angel say?

Buffy: Well, the sun's gone there too. His sources agree with Giles, much badness, all going to die five ways to Saturday unless we stop it.

Willow: No, silly. What did he say about you? Is he still all broody and 'I'm staying in L.A. because I can't be around you."?

Buffy: Yes, for the moment, though if things get much worse, that may have to change. So... Look, a vampire! I'll take it down, you keep an eye out for more, or demons.

Willow: Dd-d-d-d demons? Those aren't normally in graveyards, right?

Death is Yonder: talking to himself, directly behind Willow, off-camera Now where did those kittens go...

Willow whirls around and smacks Death Is Yonder in the face with flashlight

Willow: Eeek! A demon!

Death is Yonder falls into an open grave with a sickening crunch. Buffy comes running back

Buffy: What is it, Willow? The vamp got away. I swear, they're getting faster.

Willow: S-ss-s see for yourself.

Dead:
Death is Yonder- lynched Day 1- Clem

[TinCow]

So, for the benefit of us unfamiliar with the show, was lynching Clem a good thing or a bad thing?

[dcmort93]

Ya was it mentioned that there would be no alignment reveal anywhere?

[Romanic]

I'm surprised that there's no alignment reveal. The first two Buffy games by Autolycus had these reveals.

Clem, from the Wiki, looks like a friend of Buffy, so I'd guess this wasn't a good lynch even though he is a demon.

[autolycus]

As stated in the opening post: "Roles will be revealed on death, but not Team"
You can try to make generalizations based off of the canon wiki, but you can never be sure. I've done this for a number of reasons, not least that scum can be much more effective deceivers post-death if the town isn't told their scum.

[dcmort93]

oh goodness, I remember the last game where there was no alignment reveal on death was utter chaos, and it was a small game

[Captain Blackadder]

So, for the benefit of us unfamiliar with the show, was lynching Clem a good thing or a bad thing?

From what I can tell it is a maybe he certainly wasn't pro town but he was not outright evil either in the show. Wiki says he was ea relatively benign demon who appears in Seasons Six and Seven, played by James Charles Leary. Clem has large, floppy ears, loose skin, and a friendly disposition, despite being a demon who eats kittens, something that he later stops doing for health and moral reasons.

[Death is yonder]

There's no such thing as trying to hard for Day 1, it's such a bad argument that I've seen used by scums before. It's much better to be trying than giving fluff reasons, or a random vote. Town work starts on Day 1, not later.

unvote Skooma; vote: Death is yonder

If you show me a game where you made a day 1 vote with the same argument, and you were Town, I will unvote you, otherwise my vote stays on you.

Also, Yaro was wanting to lynch a less active player, for strategic reasons, and I agree with him: Given no alternative, it's preferable to lynch a lurker on day 1 (if only to teach them that lurking is unacceptable!)

How about I show you a game where I had exams the day before I made the vote, exams on the day I made the vote, and exams on the day after I made the vote?

Yes it was a cheap cop out, but I was busy and super tired and it was Day 1.

Do I get to say I told you so after the game?

Anyway, I guess this is a refreshing change? First time ever being lynched on Day 1

Edit: Voting for people based on past experiences is hardly fair hmm Romanic?

Oh well, I'll pop back in again post-game.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Seems like the neighborhood just went.

[Greyblades]

We never had a neigborhood to begin with.

[Zack]

oh goodness, I remember the last game where there was no alignment reveal on death was utter chaos, and it was a small game

Wonder what idiot hosted that game.

[TinCow]

No alignment reveal is actually the normal state for a mafia game. It's kind of refreshing to get back to it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Seems like the neighborhood just went.

What does this mean?

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

We never had a neigborhood to begin with.

True to that.

What does this mean?

Um, a joke?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

pre-vote:Warman

I would vote for you when day comes but me won't waste the vote.

Sorry DIY. :(

I'm not sure which part of my accusation you judge unfair. Accusing you of following a scummy behavior (voting someone for trying too hard on Day 1) is definitely fair. I can quote you on a game where Beefy accused me of the same thing on Day 1, and he was mafia. Pretty sure I could dig other cases of this too. It doesn't make it an universal rule, but I thought I had something. Apparently I was wrong.

[thefluffyone93]

Chaotix is replacing Glenn.

[Chaotix]

Isn't there a member on this forum named Hax?

Anyway, it's good to be back at mafia. If anyone needs assistance, I am a doctor.

[thefluffyone93]

Is there really?
But I digress; this is the first time
where I'm playing with you,
not playing for you.

*Sniff*
Its such a beautiful moment.

Phase end will always be 10 pm Eastern unless I specify differently, regardless of my being around.
For gameplay reasons, vampires will not be mentioned as turning to dust, i.e. people may turn to dust upon death, but I won't be telling you that.
Scans occur after conversions.
Role-blocks do not appear in the phase posts.
Successful Conversions do not appear in the phase posts.
You are always welcome to PM me questions or post them here. I may choose to not give you an answer, I may even choose not to respond at all. You have been warned.

Just over 2 hours to end of episode.

[slashandburn]

sorry but due to RL reasons I will be unable to continue playing, please replace.

Angel, Season 1, Episode 1: Nightfall

Slow pan aerial view of an alley in L.A. thefluffyone is walking down it, looking nervously in both directions

thefluffyone: I don't even know what I'm looking for, what I'm doing out here. That's it, I'm calling it a night.

Zoom out to top of nearby building, where another figure is watching. Voice over commences

It's amazing what people will do when they face a threat to their very world. Some rally together to fight for what they care for. And others ... just fall apart.

Cue theme music and opening credits

We're looking at a parking lot. ACIN walks across it to a pickup. He starts to unlock it, then stops

acin: Angel, I know you're watching me. Come on out, we know each other far too well for your intimidation tricks to work on me. I know where you are. You're in the shadows over there. Well, I don't know what's caused all this, no more than you do. Angel? Angel?

A crossbow emerges from the darkness, a bolt, or is it a stake, is fired. It strikes acin, and he falls, dead.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Acin was Lindsey!!!!

Voiceover: Some die quickly, others slowly, but all who are alone fall.


Cut to a rooftop, where Warman88 is walking armed for trouble.

Warman88: Show some Initiative! That was always the old joke. Well, that's over, except for me. I remain, taking action on my own. Fighting for the ones I love, in a good American way!

The following should almost all be in italics as it's stage directions, but that get's annoying, so I'm just going to use standard text.

Warman is tapped on the shoulder. He turns to see a figure, dressed meticulously. A hat conceals his face.

Figure: Looking for me?

Warman: Actually, no. Now if you'll excuse me.

Warman starts walking off across the rooftop. Figure steps out in front of him.

Figure: Well, I was looking for you.

Warman Not interested. Go away.

Warman takes off at a run, down a fire escape through several alleys and emerges on a main drag. Figure is standing at the bus stop.

Figure: Too bad. I've found you, and you'll have to deal with me.

Warman: Fine.

Warman unslings his gun and opens fire on the figure. The figure falls. He bends over to check if it's dead, when hears the sound of his bullets, striking glass.
Warman begins to straighten up, but the figure grabs his head and yanks him back down.

Warman: But, that's impossible. I just fired at you from point blank range, with an automatic.!!

Figure: too bad.

The figure snaps Warman's neck, then stabs him repeatedly for good measure.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Warman was Riley Finn

Voiceover: As Night falls across the land, perhaps forever, in the end, we are all ... alone.
