Sorry for not being more active over the past few days. Got caught up with the start of college football season, been out of town, and haven't put in near as much time as I'd prefer to.
Seems to be an irreversible bandwagon on me right now, but I'll vote: Yaropolk. His big analytical post just seemed like an attempt to say, "Look, I'm participating and making up numbers!"
And vote: Seamus, cause he's cool.
Yaropolk is better than you!![]()

Since there is such an overwhelming majority, I'm going to go ahead and close voting now.
Lynch
B_Ray: 6 (Believer, Ishmael, Johhog, Memnon, Populus Romanus, Seamus Fermanagh)
Yaropolk: 1 (B_Ray)
Not Voting: 2 (Yaropolk, Warman)
Shirt
Warman: 6 (Believer, Ishmael, Johhog, Memnon, Populus Romanus, Seamus Fermanagh)
Seamus: 1 (B_Ray)
Not Voting: 2 (Yaropolk, Warman)
Today, there was almost no argument on both who was to be killed, and who was to receive the shirt.
Well, except for the victim of all the accusations, B_Ray.
B_Ray: "No, no, no! Kill Yaropolk, not me -- he's the one killing you at night, while you sleep! Oh, and I think the shirt should go to my dear buddy, Seamus Fermanagh."
B_Ray winked at Seamus, who looked back at him with a puzzled expression on his face.
Johhog: "I won't be having any of that, you miscreant. Off with your head, scumbag!"
Five Others: "Hear, hear!"
Populus Romanus: "We're no really going to decapitate him, are we?"
Memnon: "Oh, no. No, we're much more civilized than that. We'll just barbarically tear his body to shreds."
Seamus nodded his head in agreement.
Seamus: "We're quite a humane lot."
Believer, Ishmael, Johhog, Memnon, Populus Romanus, and Seamus Fermanagh proceeded to rip B_Ray's body to pieces. Yaropolk looked on distastefully, mumbling about "bloody savages". Warman was too busy putting on the Three Wolf Moon shirt to notice the murder occurring just a few feet away from him.
And B_Ray was too busy screaming to do anything else.
It is now NIGHT SIX!

The next morning, everyone came downstairs, surprised to see that no one was missing.
Believer: "Well, I guess we ratted out the killers, eh?"
Ishmael: "Technically, aren't we also killers?"
Johhog: "That's different! No more people are killing at night!"
Ishmael shrugged.
Warman: "So.... I can just keep this shirt, right?"
The others glared at Warman.
Everyone except Warman: "We'll see about that...."

In retrospect, I think three mafia would have fit in better with the theme of the game, and been better balanced.Originally Posted by Zack
Thanks for playing, everyone!
Well Pizza, I must say...
But so much for 4 Mafia![]()

Wooooo! Town win! GG all.
Yeah, I won! :D
I should let myself get lynched D1 more often xD
I didn't see that coming. Yeah!
Good game, all! Was fun while it lasted.
I very much enjoyed the discussion between ATPG and Montmorency. Very entertaining stuff. I was hopeful that ATPG's directioning wouldn't point to JHT or myself for a long time, but we didn't manage to fly under the radar. Probably should have been more vocal overall, and picked a side in the ATPG / Montmorency debate. Since neither side was correct in their main suspicions, I figured it would be safest to just stay out of the conversation, but that didn't work. I also didn't have the motivation to read all ATPG's posts, so I wasn't really prepared to argue about it one way or the other.
I'm not sure if not getting the shirt was actually disadvantageous for us (the scum) or not.
It was quite funny getting paired with JHT after his promise to get revenge on me killing him first in A Country for Old Men. And we did, in fact, kill Double A because JHT had promised he would do so at the next opportunity. That was nice.
Thanks for the game Zack.
Well played town, deserved victory.

Can I have the 3 last replies as a signature?

No.
Believer says (11:06):
Why?

not org-appropriate
Believer says (11:07):
Nothing we say is org-appropriate
Zack, a fun game. Thanks.
First time I have ever been the focus of pizza's loving attention -- my but he can write, and some good analysis under it as well.

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
Over at TWC I've just told Double A I will kill him the very next time I get a chance to do so. Can we, can we, please, please, pretty please?![]()
WOOHOO! albeit a little anticlimactic, but I won my first game nonetheless! I actually thought that you were a dud lynch B_Ray, but i was wrong, okay, one game won(perfect record!) and the rest to go
The thing I did right was not be satisfied with one case, but examine a few people.
I managed to get it right on the third case, but Monty was acting so wrong that he went ahead of Johnhughthom.
Then he revealed as scum when he died; I'm sorta furious about that, no offense Monty. That tainted my analysis of everyone in the game.
Being paranoid about the scans and the chain was correct; since the scums could falsely clear themselves, that was a huge danger. Me scanning Memnon and promptly dying essentially cleared 3 townies at once, and by then, the blind lynches alone favored the town. We could afford to drop Monty and still nail the scums, even if there were 4 of them.
As I said, game would be balanced with 3-4 scums. An immortal detective (the shirt) is worth 1-2 scums easily.
Thanks be to those who cooperated with my interrogations.
Thanks be to those who did not take my accusations personally.
Thanks be to those of you who took a chance on me even though I was not scanned. That's using your own analytical abilities and you did well. I am impressed and you've turned around my impression of what townies can do, which as I said was at a low point lately.
I am guessing that Tratorix was assumed to have been scanned on the night he was killed; congrats to Believer for his excellent play all game but ALSO for guessing correctly on a townie that wasnt going to be murdered for the scan. Scanning Warman was the final nail in the coffin, really.
Tratorix did an excellent job with his far less wordy analysis of the game. Very well done.
I don't think I've seen a town more organized and united than they were on that final round. Our minds became one.
Resistance was indeed futile.

Yes! My first game that I both won and survived!
On a tangentially related note, why is it that people always suspect me? If I do end up being mafia in Capo, I'll have a life expectancy of about one day.
Good job.
I didn't suspect you in Vespasian.On a tangentially related note, why is it that people always suspect me? If I do end up being mafia in Capo, I'll have a life expectancy of about one day .
Welcome to the club.About to be lynched early again as protown role.
