The Godfather, Part 3 [Concluded]

[shlin28]

I was hoping it would be more... lasery

Good luck next round my fellow townies

What amazes me is that you are ignoring that other preservation vote, the one made by Sasaki

Thats the one I'm talking about you silly billy (to put it politely) I was talking about Sasaki's self preservation vote!

Why else did i vote for him? so don't give me the inquisitive look over that mister :)

[Thermal]

Oh and if i'd got there in time i would have abstained, neither seemed guilty to me.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Gah! Make an effort to get back online for the next day phase and find out we are at night!

On yesterday's occurences, there is nothing that really stands out for me.

Anyway, back tomorrow, kind of busy.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Gah! Make an effort to get back online for the next day phase and find out we are at night!

Same here.

Perhaps one of the dead fellows can replace me? I do not want to drop out but this is two votes I've missed. I thought that this would be the proper time to be voting due to when the previous vote ended.

Did the 24 hour cycle change, or did I mess up my math?

[Askthepizzaguy]

From my last post:
02-04-2009, 12:54 Day time

24 hours later...

02-05-2009, 12:54 Night time?

02-06-2009, 12:54 Day time!
Plus 12 hours...

Ah. Night time.

That was my bad. I only had like an hour or two to go until night time when I left. Makes sense. I am marking down on a Wordpad when the next day phase is expected to start. My sincere apologies.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I've voted in self preservation many times as town, in my opinion it's the right play

[Askthepizzaguy]

I still haven't caught up, but I agree. If you're innocent, or guilty, the correct move is to not get lynched.

There are some rare cases I agree with allowing yourself to be lynched, but, mostly it's a bad move.

[Lord Winter]

Just posting to say I'm here, I was gone most of yesterday and will be gone most of tommarow too.

[GeneralHankerchief]

The cycle did change because of the tie vote, however, I'm going to end the night phase a little early because I'll be gone for most of Saturday. So you may have time to still be on/vote.

Keep this in mind, people who haven't sent in PMs yet (if there are any).

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am willing to stay on a few more hours so I can vote.

As such, I'm checking the patterns of behavior thusfar, though I am going to keep the results to myself unless someone asks for them.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Analysis of writeups complete. Found something interesting, but I don't have a case to make yet.

Thread saved, will work on it after I leave.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Shall we do a quick cooking lessons?

First we flame Beefy!

Then Beefy obviously wines!!

Then we meatball him!

Daddaa!! We now have a huge Beef steak!!

... gently mixed with meatballs..

I am not sure if this is intended to be delicious food writing, or erotic writing, but either way, my mouth is watering.

[Beefy187]

Argh he wants me dead!!

Until the evil pizza lord breaks my two horns, I will fight till the end.. No Beef shall be part of your pizza until my death... Rarararara!!

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't want you dead.

In fact, I believe the mafia is trying to implicate you as a scapegoat at this point.

[Askthepizzaguy]

GeneralHankerchief, I'm starting to think you're a big tease.

I waited and waited and I have to go!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If I am to be WOG'ged, please replace me with someone else instead... or whatever. Doesn't matter. I'd like to be part of this game. If I can get back here very briefly tonight to vote, I will try. Otherwise I am assuming I need to be here for the next voting phase in over 48 hours from now.

Don't bother lynching me, I'll drop from the game voluntarily if I cannot meet the voting schedule, and I'm sure one of the deads can replace me.

[boudica]

I don't want you dead.

In fact, I believe the mafia is trying to implicate you as a scapegoat at this point.

That's kind of what I felt, but the discussion that followed made me less sure... I guess we must just look forward to picking apart the next write-up. I'm going to be offline for the next 36 hours or so (back on Monday AM GMT). If I'm not back in time to make a coherent lynch vote for someone, please take a vote: abstain in advance.

So do did I but others don't seem to see that way so I thought I'd go with the minority.

[LittleGrizzly]

self preservation at the beginning of the game is a good idea, you now you are a townie (obviously mafia self preserve so not discussing that) you may be up against someone who doesn't seem like mafia at all but even if your fairly sure they aren't mafia you know 100% you are not mafia... so a self preservation vote is not scummy at this stage...

[GeneralHankerchief]

I said a little early, not eight hours.

Night 2

Seireikhaan was driving down the street when he noticed a damsel in distress frantically waving her arms. He pulled up to her and offered his help. She explained that she needed to change a flat tire. As Seireikhaan checked the busted tire, a dark figure came into view and smashed his head with the tire iron, knocking him out cold.

Seireikhaan woke up many hours later in a dark cavern.

"What? Where am I?"

A deep voice replied "You are in a cave many miles from town. No one but me knows you are here. You are finished."

Seireikhaan looked around and discovered that he was strapped down to a metal chair. As he struggled to free himself, a large screen rolls down in front of him. Suddenly the screen goes bright and a video of a masked figure eating babies started rolling.

"I have your chair placed right above a giant tank of water. That button in your right hand will cause you to have a watery death," boomed the voice with laughter.

Seireikhaan did not last through the hour. His drowned remains were shipped to the front office of the Gameroom in the morning.

After the recent murders of Tratorix and CountArach, boudica had good reason not to go out at night for anything, other than for the lynching of Ichigo.

It didn't bother boudica enough to keep her from her evening jogging routine, however. After all, what was a potential mafia attack with the potential of destroying her entire peaceful little town when compared to the maintenance of her fitness regimen?

To be fair, it helped that she jogged on the other side of town from Tratorix's usual route. boudica went the scenic way, spending quite a bit of time in the Frontroom Park, far away from the alleyway, which, by this point, had been sealed off due to Tratorix's murder.

She jogged past the lake with its many mice and trace amounts of osmium, around the Frontroom cliffs with its extremely pointy rocks at the bottom, back to the lake where, sitting on a bench that looked like it had never been there before, was a man dressed in a business suit and hat waving at boudica.

boudica, out of breath, stopped automatically to wave back and chat with the man.

"Excellent evening for running, I do say," he said amiably.

"They all are," boudica replied.

"Indeed," said the man. "Allow me to recommend a beautiful route up in the hills if you're up for a change of scenery."

"The hills, eh?" boudica panted. "Maybe it is time to adjust my route. I'll have to try that sometime."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to," the man said, pushing boudica in the lake and holding her head under till she drowned, all with an apologetic smile on his face.

Eventually, Chief of Police shlin28 got wind of all these murders and grinned. The mafia hadn't been eliminated yet. That meant he got to supply another cool execution. After making a few phone calls to local farms, he gathered everybody in the town square, passing the nude unicyclist juggler and the guy with the boombox in the park. Stopping at this second guy, he asked a question.

"You," he said, "you're always at the park. Did you see anything strange?"

"No, man," the guy replied. "I was too busy chilling out to Perry Mason by Ozzy Osbourne."

"Well, all right," shlin said. "But I'm keeping my eye on you."

After some time, everyone had arrived, including the results of the few phone calls he had made. As a result, shlin was ready to begin the day's proceedings.

"All right, people," he said, getting everybody's attention. "Clearly, the mafia are still around, which means you losers didn't get it right last time. As such, we're going to try it again. And this time, the person with the most parts will literally be torn apart. I have acquired four majestic horses. They will each be attached to one of the unlucky person's limbs, and when I give the order they will race apart in different directions. Good luck!"

perry mason? mason? does this suggest we have masons? (a townie pair) maybe the boombox guy and the nude unicyclist are the masons, seeing as that unicyclist keeps being mentioned.

[shlin28]

*Carried out of his royal palace on a golden threaded blanket upon a silver armoured elephant*

I was hoping my equines would be kept as a suprise

What's with the guy who listened to "Perry Mason"? Isn't Mason a fictional detective? Is this a clue written by the mafia, or is it a sign that our detective has got something?

[TevashSzat]

Well, Perry Mason didn't seem to be related to the kill writeups which suggests that perhaps the mafia didn't write it.

That means that either GH or the detective (or a secret role) may be trying to say something to us

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The last godfather game had bolded "clues" in the writeup which were entirely meaningless. I suspect GH is carrying on the tradition

[Sasaki Kojiro]

No one rises much above the herd in terms of suspicion so far. I'm going to Vote:Lord Winter, on the basis of this and a couple other posts:

I still find the whole Reenk bandwagon from last round incrediably suspicious. Its bringing back too many memories of GH's election in mafia I.

Vote: Seamus

Third on the bandwagon.

Now, mafia in those days was much more helter skelter. Lynching was often pretty random. In that game I (as mafia) started a bandwagon to elect GH (godfather) as chief of police. GH voted second. So why pick out Seamus as the "third on the bandwagon" and vote for him? Checking the original game Lord Winter was 4th on the GH bandwagon

I don't buy Lord Winter finding the reenk bandwagon incredibly suspicious because there's no particular reason for the mafia to make a big effort to elect one of their own, and if they had then surely Lord Winter should suspect Reenk and another person from the reenk wagon as well.

The bandwagon in general, not seamus in particular. I don't exactly have enough to go off of yet. I just randomly joined one on the bandwagon and went with the rule of 3.

Not having a strong case isn't suspicious unless you acted like you did in the previous post ;)

LW could have just not thought out his wording in the first post but I think it tips the odds towards him being mafia more than anyone else I can see at the moment.

[Thermal]

Is sasaki acting normally? i've never played mafia with him before...

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Sasaki "The Wolf" Kojiro is always a little unscrutable. The only times he can be seen as clearly "off" are when he has a VERY low postcount. Unfortunately, even then it isn't a mafia tell, as he's been known to blow off whole stretches of games (to make himself less patternable?).

He did make a fair point about Winter's phrasing. "Incredibly suspicious" is just a little too catchy for that phase of the game. Had he simply voted for me on the third on bandwagon, it would have drawn little notice.

Vote: Abstain (this will change).

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Perry Mason was not a detective, but a TV defense attorney who almost always got his clients released by eliciting a courtroom confession that got someone else in the crosshairs.

Mason had a detective like quality but was not a detective.

Mason reference (townies in the know)?

Detective reference (GH already as much as said we have one)

Unicyclist is a whack job (Reenk?)

Could all be distractors too, knowing GH.

Hmmm......
