Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - ON HOLD

[Sigurd]

A decisive vote! and within the hour allotted... hmm
I shall go and re-write my write-up.

Voting has ended.

I came across a few of these in the Midgard series.
I can't say payback is a as you weren't in those games.
I guess a sorry would suffice?

[boudica]

The day - while passing significantly faster than the previous - had yielded very little in terms of discussion or suspects and as the Sun set; Boudica consulted the tally and found that five of the Magi before her were tieing with one vote apiece. The Magus Supremo wondered if she could try the exile spell on all of them at once, but determined that the risk of the Magi Mafiosi breaking free was too great.

Stumped she eyed the cowled figures of the potential candidates Thermal Mercury, Yoyoma1910, Sigurd, Lord Winter, Greyblades.

"BRING ME THE RHANDOME!" she squawked, and several minions rushed from the room, returning a few moments later straining below a cushion which was topped with a mighty glass orb.

A minion rushed over to Boudica who had been twittering into her journal "Randomly exile Mage unto the VOID" and pointed out that the mage known as Sigurd had signaled a change in his vote.

"Last minute change eh? - that may very well have saved your life"

Boudica consulted the tally. The Mage known as Greyblades now led with two votes.
As her eyes met his, the Mage leapt from his seat and bolted toward the fire exit at the far end of the room.

"Oh a runner eh? Pass me the dratted Power Point would you? Thanks."

Boudica lifted the unwieldy wand and made a stabbing motion in the direction of Greyblades' rapidly retreating form.

The was a swooshing sound and the robed figure was spun over and over - several times smashing his face into the underside of the mezzanine floor and through the hall until he landed in a pile at Boudicas' feet.

Quick as a flash Boudica snared the Mage with the Mystical Spreadsheet and fired up the parchment of Word.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" the Mafiosi screamed; as Greyblades was sent hurling into the cone of purple light
"THIS ONE IS FRESHLY TURNED, BUT HE IS OUR OWN! CURSE YOOOUUUUUU!"

The hellish figures spiralled and looped through the nothingness and Boudica smirked to herself as she derived the true meaning from the Mafiosi's words.

"Time to get busy people. Seems Greyblades there wasn't the mafiosi we were looking for - but it's a good job we found him. The traitor is still in our midst, but surely we have him in our sights now! Be vigilant! Sleep well..and " The ancient crone smacked her prune-like lips "...if you'd care to join me in the Penthouse hot tub - the door will be on the latch!"

Night 3 has begun. It will end in roughly 24 hours. Orders to me please.

[Sigurd]

I am anticipating all sorts of accusations from these latest events.
Go on... I shall be ready to meet them all.

I knew that Greyblades had something against my lover for his incredible eyes...

Good work Sigurd, you can be my new lover. I hereby allow you to court me.

[Greyblades]

What the heck? I go to sleep and you kill me off without any chance of defending myself?

[Yoyoma1910]

What the hell? I go to sleep and you kill me off without any chance of defending myself?

Silence, he whose name is red.


Let us find the converter of this foolish reader of Harry Potter .

[Greyblades]

Well, maybe you should look at the one who has sneaked his way into your trust on the body of another!

[Reenk Roink]

Aren't you supposed to be in the void. Mr. khaan waits for you.

I don't think you're allowed to talk anymore Greyblades

[boudica]

I must remind all players that there is to be no communicating with those who have been killed or cast into the void. Those who have been cast into the VOID may attempt to communicate with the other Magi through me. PM me - it may or may not get through as the time the Parchment of WORD can be held open is minimal.

[Greyblades]

Sorry boss. See you lot at the end.

[boudica]

Night 3 is ended. Write-Up to follow.

[pevergreen]

Back from holidays.

Interesting.

[boudica]

NIGHT THREE

Reenk Roink sat at his desk and pondered a great many things. The fate of his Order had suffered a blow, but he was confident that the Council was coping admirably well under pressure of the remaining hidden Magus Mafioso. A cough startled him and he grabbed his Cobalt blue staff to face the presence in his room.

"Well well, Ulric Stormcloud - a famous face indeed! Careless of such a high-ranking mage to let himself pass the night unprotected. I have waited too long to let this pass as quickly as it must... but there is really no patient way to expel the brains of such a weakling from his skull."

The Mage ran his fingers along the runes of the scroll before him as Ulric raced across the expansive suite, staff raised in muscular arms above his head.. but too late!

As the dark mage cried out:

"Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM!"

Reenks' Icy staff swung through the air, but missed its' mark - clattering to the floor as his body pitched forward, the grey matter violently spraying from his ears and nose with a ghastly popping-hissing sound.

The Magus Mafioso nodded in satisfaction at his kill and tip-toed across the pools of bloody gore and out into the silent corridor.

All was quiet and he chuckled to himself as he returned to his room; at the ease with which he had dispatched another obstacle from his path. More would die and soon his brethren would be freed.

**************

The following morning Boudica informed the remaining Magi of 'Reenk's' death before settling back with the weekend racing oracles and prepared to decide which dragon to bet on today.

"We had a good result yesterday, but that's no reason for this Council to become complacent" Boudica barked at the Magi while consulting the football fixtures
"Last night was just sloppy play! We can't allow ourselves to take our eyes off the prize - the prize being one dead Mafia - or you'll find me as sick as a parrot!

...Now lets nail us a mafioso! VOTE NOW!"

Sigurd?? Didn't he place the deciding vote for one of the scum? If he was Greyblades' partner he could have easily voted for you, Yoyoma or Lord Winter. Instead he would kill his partner. That doesn't make much sense.

Then again, you also think I am surispicious, so clearly I'm trying to obfucarate the situation.

Bah!

I will Vote: Lord Winter, but for the same reasons I did the day before, not because of some farcical and baseless list.

[pevergreen]

Oh Greyblades wasnt scum.

Pever your a ****** mage right? Well I got this last night phase but it didnt say to keep it to myself:

A jolt of electric pain lifts you from the expansive mattress in your luxury suite and you hang in tortured paralysis - tongue stretching form your mouth and eyes bulging from their sockets, your lungs are frozen by the grip of fear.

Just at the edge of your vision you glimpse the silhouette of a Magi, standing at the door, idly leaning on the Qorby Patent Robe Press and stroking at his darkly drooping moustaches.

You try to grasp at your staff but know that it is too late. All that once meant everything to you fades away and is replaced by a violent longing. Your brothers! The Magi mafiosi must be freed! - You see it so clearly now! Tears jerk from your throbbing eyes as you silently thank the Magus before you - for showing you the TRUE PATH TO ULTIMATE POWER!!!

You have been converted into the shadowy ranks of the Magi Mafiosi. You victory conditions are now that of the Mafia and you will win if your voting power becomes equal or greater than the power of the council.

You have not managed to identify your assailant ... liberator. They may make contact with you if they wish to - or they may instruct you to perform certain spells at night through me. They may instruct you who to vote for (you may make no independent votes for anyone until instructed) or they may simply kill you - if that is their desire.

Your spark of the Unbridled Flame flickers and dies - leaving your eyes reflecting nothing but the the murky blackness of the VOID, and your ears filled with nothing but the distant haunting cries of your new, imprisoned brethren.

I'm hoping that if the main mafioso gets killed i'll revert to townie and it didnt say anything about helping the mafia so as far as im concerned I'm still townie.
Just so you know who to mercy kill if I dont revert.

[A Very Super Market]

I Vote: Sigurd. He was acting logically the other day, and followed all forms of reason. Then, he voted to kill Greyblades. Quite obviously, we must think illogically to lynch the mafia, who are trying to trick us with their sneaky ways.

[TheFlax]

Oh Greyblades wasnt scum.

So it is more likely that the whole lynch scene, which shows Greyblades as guilty, was a sham than assuming he might have lied to you?

Maybe he wasn't scum at the start but the key words to remember in that PM he send you : "You victory conditions are now that of the Mafia and you will win if your voting power becomes equal or greater than the power of the council."

His comment at the end seems odd in light of that sentence. Maybe I missed something, but from that sentence alone, the comment doesn't seem to fit.

[pevergreen]

We were in contact and we knew we were both innocent, then he got converted (night 1). His voting was under the influence of the mafia, but he didnt know who they were.

Just saying, we didnt get one.

[Captain Blackadder]

No we got one it's just that we didn't get the best one this is still a good solid result for town.

[Quintus.JC]

I'm still confused....

[Sigurd]

So, you are trying to make us believe that Greyblades was converted on night 1 to the mafiosi cause and then sending you a pm saying: "I am not really a mafioso - I'll continue as a townie in your little brotherhood. Just don't lynch me". And then you try to make us believe you bought it?

I am sure if that pm is genuine that greyblades were a) playing you (I don't believe it) or b) you are in on it and is converted too or is the original culprit.
I don't believe for a second that the mafiosi did not take greyblades into their midst after a successful conversion.

I therefore conclude that pevergreen is Mafia too.

vote: pevergreen

[pevergreen]

I have no reason to distrust Greyblades.

As for me being part of it/him being proper mafia, to my understanding they only had power over his vote.

At this point, I don't really care about my fate.

Sorry, not in a great frame of mind right now.

Vote: Sigurd

For making too much sense.

I Vote: Sigurd. He was acting logically the other day, and followed all forms of reason. Then, he voted to kill Greyblades. Quite obviously, we must think illogically to lynch the mafia, who are trying to trick us with their sneaky ways.

Right...

First you voted me because I was making sense and then you vote me for not making sense. Do I see a clear pattern of illogical nonsense here?
Did you discuss this with your paradisical friends in a secret corner before voting? I will keep my eye on you and your buddies.

Reenk was obviously a retaliation murder for their lost new friend greyblades. I say their because the PM quoted by pevergreen said "they".

So let's get this straight...

The mafioso half converted greyblades on night 1 - hence no killing.
Then the mafioso converted again on night 2 greyblades for sure - hence no killing.

Then 'khaan dies on night 3 by the hand of greyblades or the original mafioso?
We lynch greyblades on day 3 and Reenk is killed night 4 by the original mafioso.

What did greyblades do on night 3? Kill or being idle?

[Greyblades]

See last post

[TheFlax]

Sigurd, I think you have one night too many there. The title of the latest writeup is "Night Three". Apart from that, you may have the gist of it but I'm still not confused about how this whole conversion thing worked. It seemed straightforward enough until pevergreen posted the alleged Greyblades PM.

thanks.

[Greyblades]

Sorry about that, 4 games I have been in are still going and its getting hard to tell in which I'm safe, which i'm dead, and in which game I'm hanging by a thread.

[pevergreen]

Shouldnt you not be posting?
