DARKLING [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

If the townies destroy me, all hope of saving New Eden will be lost...

[Diana Abnoba]

What the heck was that?!! First we have people eating off their own fingers, then witches, and now we have lovers kissing. What the heck is going on? I give up trying to figure out this game, I think you may be right Arjos, Pizzaman is just messing with our heads.
As for edse, well that sucks, he was the doctor, I guess we may be in more trouble now then even before. *bangs head against wall*

[landlubber]

I've given up too. I didn't receive any PM about what happened, and, while I'm flattered that Double A has fallen in love with me, I don't understand the context of it in this game.

[Chaotix]

For those who weren't around yesterday, read this:

Post 515

tl;dr:

Ishmael and Arjos are guilty.

Vote: Ishmael

[Double A]

I've given up too. I didn't receive any PM about what happened, and, while I'm flattered that Double A has fallen in love with me, I don't understand the context of it in this game.

I don't either. I didn't even send in night actions, it just happened.

MY EYEBROWS ARE STILL RAISED FOR PETE'S SAKE

[Ishmael]

vote: DaveShack? I dunno, I'm really confused. I assume last nights thing was another person being 'possessed,' as with Jarema and I, although the style of it was different, and apparently there was no visit occurring this time.

[Visor]

Wow.

Vote: Ishmael

[Double A]

You're not even fooling yourself.

vote: Ishmael

Anyone else think it's funny how I accused them yesterday and then I ended up forcibly boinking Landlubber for no explainable reason?

[Double A]

Gah

unvote, vote: Ishmael

[Chaotix]

You're not even fooling yourself.

vote: Ishmael

Anyone else think it's funny how I accused them yesterday and then I ended up forcibly boinking Landlubber for no explainable reason?

Perhaps.

Personally, I was expecting to be possessed like Visor and forced to take back everything I said yesterday.

I think, ultimately, since your "boinking" had no detrimental in-game effect (at least so far) we got off easy.

[landlubber]

Right.
Vote: Ishmael.

[Ishmael]

To avoid confusion when I'm lynched, I'd like to point out that whilst my occupation is a mason, that's just equivalent to a vanilla townie - it's not a mason in the Mafia sense of the word. So I'm not White_Eyes' lover or anything.

[Diana Abnoba]

Well I'm going to go with Vote: Ishmael too. Seems like Chaotix's analysis makes sense to me.

[Double A]

Perhaps.

Personally, I was expecting to be possessed like Visor and forced to take back everything I said yesterday.

I think, ultimately, since your "boinking" had no detrimental in-game effect (at least so far) we got off easy.

No, that would've been WAAAAAY to obvious.

I'd like to hear what Visor has to say about yesterday.

[Arjos]

Rationalizing isn't making sense...

[atheotes]

Vote: Ishmael

[Arjos]

Tally

Ishmael (6): Chaotix, Visorslash, Double A, landlubber, Diana Abnoba and atheotes.
DaveShack (1): Ishmael.
ATPG (1): Arjos.

Should be the end of the day phase...

[Visor]

No, that would've been WAAAAAY to obvious.

I'd like to hear what Visor has to say about yesterday.

I wasn't myself.

But if I was I would voted for suicide for the sheer stupidity that I saw.

[Arjos]

BTW on a side note: all Chaotix's assumptions came from that "possessed" Visor post...
Needless to say it's an house of cards...

As Double A pointed out, this "possession" in the posts is far too weird: it works with annonymous accounts, but with these, someone would be stealing your account...
Either you reddened names are converted (but Lazy claimed that too, so it shouldn't be the case) or there's a game mechanic forcing them to post such things (still weird)...

Bottom line, four mafia in a 20 player game is ridiculous...
Two could be, but with visits and lynches, at least in my part I can clear everyone except one (if an uneventful visit equals a townie)...

Game is senseless, it's only fitting we give it a senseless ending :P
I think lynching ATPG is the key...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Day Phase is over due to reaching the hammer mark early. Writeup in progress.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Township of New Eden
15th January, 1612 A.D.

8:35 AM




Ishmael stopped carving the stone he was working with, noting that the crowd seemed particularly bloodthirsty today, and they couldn't even wait until noon to hang their next victim. They were already breathing down his neck, holding torches and pitchforks. The torches seemed a bit excessive, since the sun was shining brightly. He wasn't sure what they intended to do with the pitchforks. He turned to address the crowd, clearing his throat in a long, overly dramatic way.


"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me out at sea, I thought I would become a mason. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly January in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before being shot to death, and bringing up the lead of every lynch vote; and especially whenever the lynch mob gets such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's blocks off -- then, I account it high time to get to cutting stone as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the stone. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards being lynched as I do."

Askthepizzaguy stood before him as the megalomaniacal incarnation of all those malicious agencies which some mafia players feel threatened by, till they are left buried six feet under. That intangible malignity which has been from the beginning; to whose posts in-thread even the modern mafia players ascribe one-half of the words; which the ancient Orgahs of the east reverenced in their statue devil.

Ishmael did not fall down and worship pizza like them; but Arjos, on the other hand, deliriously transferring its idea to the abhorred pizzaguy, pitted himself, all mutilated, against him. All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Arjos, where visibly personified, and made practically assailable in himself. He piled upon the pizzaguy's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.

"Hey, why don't we lynch Askthepizzaguy?" said Arjos. But no one listened. Inevitably, it would come down to this.



“To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!”




And everyone turned and looked at Arjos quizzically, as he stood behind the magistrate trying to harpoon him.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Without much success, might I add..." mused the humble narrator, whose big -eating grin was apparent to all. Hahahaha, I can write whatever I want and you can't stop me!

The Magistrate turned to Ishmael, and asked the crowd if they thought he was guilty of being a Darkling, or a witch, or perhaps just guilty of looking at them the wrong way. The crowd roared a loud unintelligible affirmative, and Askthepizzaguy turned and shot Ishmael, who fell to the cold, cold ground, stone dead.

Ishmael the Mason

Just then, Askthepizzaguy noted that half the folks in town were dead, and by his very own hand. This warmed his soul so much, that he began to freestyle.

"It's getting dead in here. They're starting to decompose."

Noting the pile of dead bodies, he said-

"Boy there's a lot in here, and every day it grows.
Look at these bodies that I keep generatin'
I sit around all day and watch them biodegradin'
Bet there's a hundred health codes that I'm violatin'
Even my dog passed out and needs resucitatin'."

Then he realized he was breaking character, so he cleared his throat.

"Ummm..... right. So I hope we killed all those terrible Darklings or else we're all really, really boned!"

[Arjos]

Ahahahahahahah, couldn't keep a straight face throughout the whole write-up XD

Well written ^^

[Askthepizzaguy]

Stolen almost wholesale from Herman Melville and Weird Al Yankovic, of course.

Blatant homage plagiarism ftw

[Double A]

BTW on a side note: all Chaotix's assumptions came from that "possessed" Visor post...
Needless to say it's an house of cards...

As Double A pointed out, this "possession" in the posts is far too weird: it works with annonymous accounts, but with these, someone would be stealing your account...
Either you reddened names are converted (but Lazy claimed that too, so it shouldn't be the case) or there's a game mechanic forcing them to post such things (still weird)...

Two could be, but with visits and lynches, at least in my part I can clear everyone except one (if an uneventful visit equals a townie)...

Game is senseless, it's only fitting we give it a senseless ending :P
I think lynching ATPG is the key...

Visor just SAID he was possessed.

I never said someone was stealing his account. Obviously, Visor got PM'd by Pizza, who told him he had to do the "MWAHAHA I'm so evil!" thing and then vote for edse.

The red names are diseased people. They outnumbered us yesterday (I think). If they were converts, we would've lost. They definitely outnumbered us today, though.

Bottom line, the "6 town to 4 darklings thing" was wrong. They thought there would have been 6, but there were 8. That means edse, whose claim was not contested, was telling the truth. I don't think Pizza would've made 4 mafia. 2 sounds right, 3 at the very most. It was included by you to demoralize us.

No, it's not. When Pizza says "Lynching me is a terrible idea," then it means lynching Pizza is a terrible idea. That's it, I'm revoking your posting privileges for the rest of the game. Your arguments are horrible and can be taken apart by someone who has been awake for 10 minutes.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Isn't it tradition to at least ask me if I'm lynchable?

[Double A]

It only started after the asylum game.

[Arjos]

Visor just SAID he was possessed.

Aye, but still Chaotix made assumptions from a post, he can't be certain of: it still makes his rationalization, what it is...

It was included by you to demoralize us.

Huh? XD
The only people speaking of four mafias were Visor, edse and Chaotix...

If they were converts, we would've lost. They definitely outnumbered us today, though.

They could only be influenced, but not totaly controlled...
As you said, the game is still going and there are more reds...
Lazy claimed the same "possession" and he never turned red, that's why I'm waiting to see bodies on the floor, so we can clear everyone...
Should some survive, without the doctor around, we might aswell paint a bull's eye on their torsos :P
Unless edse wasn't completely truthful...

But ofc, all of this is scummy and we won't have time to do it ^^

No, it's not. When Pizza says "Lynching me is a terrible idea," then it means lynching Pizza is a terrible idea.

Who stole your sense of humour and where did he put it?

That's it, I'm revoking your posting privileges for the rest of the game. Your arguments are horrible and can be taken apart by someone who has been awake for 10 minutes.

By taken apart you mean repeat the last part of each? XDDDDD
And I was merely observing :)

[Chaotix]

Is anyone actually listening to what Arjos says anymore?

Anybody who puts that many XDs and LOLs into his posts invariably starts to infuriate me after a while.

I have taken to skimming/ignoring them.

[Ishmael]

Very nicely done ATPG.

Yep

Who stole your sense of humour and where did he put it?

It was assaulted by sleep deprivation. Very messy. It is now recovering in the emergency ward of Mercy Hospital.
