Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
DAY FOUR
Boudica allowed the small yellow-faced familiar to bash it's head against the wall until - resembling a squashed grapefruit - it slid to the floor and disappeared back into the magical ether.
Confusion had reigned throughout the day. Various Wizards had hurled baseless and inaccurate opinions around all morning and a brief and unsanctioned haunting around lunchtime had appeared to unnerve the Magi who remained so much; that they prefered to sit and stair coldly at one another during the afternoon - instead of discussing things and voting.
Boudica swore quietly to herself and vowed not to think in such long sentences any more. She creaked to her feet and addressed the Council:
"The Mage known as 'pevergreen'! - Front and Centre!"
pevergreen shook his head with disgust at his fellow Magi and approached the Magus Supremo.
"Why do you shake your head pevergreen?"
"I shake it for I am disgusted, ma'am"
"Disgusted?, how so?"
"This Council is in turmoil and yet its' members merely loll about eating individual packs of cereal and watching cartoons"
"You may have a point my dear sir, but none-the-less, it appears that those Council members who have bothered to vote, have, by the slimmest of margins, condemned you to the VOID - do you protest"
"Not only do I protest!" exclaimed the exasperated mage "But I shall save you the trouble of opening all the applications of Office and do your job myself!"
And with that, the noble Mage clicked his thumb against his finger and his body was engulfed in a huge fireball.
The Council of the Magi watched as he burned - all simultaneously realising that there was no way they would be able to find any marshmallows in the larder and have time to get back before the fiercely raging fires licking pevergreens body had died down.
Soon nothing more remained of the Mage formerly known as 'pevergreen', but a tiny pile of ash.
"Somebody sweep that up. Ok - you lot - today was abysmal and most of you deserve to die. Let's see how many of you last through the night. If any of you make it back tomorrow you better have something to say for yourselves"

I notice that all those not voting in this round did not in the last round either. What, Did the dragon get your tongues or something?
And why did not pevergreen try to save himself by a vote on for example me or Lord winter. Questions that might not be answered.
I am awaiting the visit of the Mafioso tonight and if my dragon defence spell does not work in my favour, we need to get a few things in the open. The silence of our council members suggest we sit on very little info. I suggest we spill our info and see if we can locate the culprit.
Thanks to greyblades and a few others, I suspect there are 4 brotherhoods in this council. I shall not ,as it is custom not to, mention specifics. But lets say there are 4 magi brotherhood here.
As I have the ability, amongst other abilities, to listen to the whispers caught in this hall, found out about a few of these brotherhoods.
Greyblades and pevergreen belonged to on particular brotherhood which shall remain nameless.
A Very Super Market, Captain Blackadder and Yoyoma belongs to a group that shall remain namless.
Reenk and 'khaan belonged to a brotherhood which shall remain nameless.
That leaves Quintus, Lord Winter, Flax, Thermal Mercury and myself unaccounted for.
I asked if Psychonaut had any friends... I meant it in a brotherhood kind of way.
Three brotherhoods. One with three members and 2 with two. One brotherhood is missing. I suspect they all have three members.
Who can all of you vouch for ? Who do you know is innocent?
Let's make a list before the night ends.
13 magi total out of which 12 magi are a member of a brotherhood. Let's first check the possibility that the 13th brotherhoodless magi is the Mafioso.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
The fifth day dawns on the Council and slowly the Magi reconvene in the Conference Hall and Cocktail Lounge to seek once more for the Magus Mafioso they know to be among them.
Boudica polishes off a plate of croissant and speaks in sombre tones to the assembled:
"Fellow Magi - a terrible deed was done last night and another of our brethren has been destroyed!"
The Magi scan the room and soon realise that the Mage known as 'Yoyoma1910' is not present!
"Yoyoma1910 was found in his room by my minions, beaten to a pulp - every last bone in his body smashed to powder"
Boudica hangs her head in dismay.
"We must root out the evil one from our ranks! Brethren! Tarry no longer! Vote now for who you think we should exile unto the VOID and let us put an end to these infernal deeds!"

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Vote Sigurd I was told by yoyoma that he was going to investigate Sigurd and now he is dead. This looks very suspicious to me. I may change if a better lynch comes around or if sig explains this.

Have you considered what I posted in my last post before night ended?
What are your thoughts on the matter?

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Well I feel like that all mafia try and make it so that there stories have a ring of truth so I do believe that you can find out various alignments it just seems suspicious that when he went ot investigate you he died. Otherwise I do agree with your idea we do need to find out who we are all with. I can vouch for yoyoma but not AVSM he has never contacted me. But I will trust him if he can say the secreat code word.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
From what I see, the mafia could easily be hiding in our midst. Perhaps they have all been infiltrated by Sigurd or some other, and we all know that many mafia games see scum seek sanctuary in a mason group, then kill everyone in it.

Did Yoyoma tell Sigurd that he was going to investigate him last night? If not then how did Sigurd know he was going to be investigated by Yoyoma? I don't think Sigurd killed Yoyoma, if anyone killed Yoyoma, it could well be you.
Good point, even thought this system could well be flawed. I have good reasons to believe that Thermal Mercury is a member of my order. He’s raging and aggressive character behaviour suggests to me just that.
Actually yes.notice that all those not voting in this round did not in the last round either. What, Did the dragon get your tongues or something?

Boudica called the gnollish minion to her and obediently he held the blackboard while the Magus Supremo donned a gauntlet replete with a metallic claw. The Magi covered their ears as she inscribed the current tally, murmuring something about a lack of chalk.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Any reason in particular or is it simply a random machiavellian vote? huh?
For my part I think I shall persist in my Vote: Lord Winter and hopefully this time he will actually say something.
Has anyone analysed the different kills to see if they are done in the same way or if we can gather any clues from them?
Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Because from Sigurd's order theory, since everyone else probably belonged in an order, then it only leaves you and Lord Winter. And I picked you over him, without any specific reason really.
Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Ah, but I am in an order. Sadly I have not found a fellow from my order in this council.Because from Sigurd's order theory, since everyone else probably belonged in an order, then it only leaves you and Lord Winter. And I picked you over him, without any specific reason really.I feel all alone. This is best discussed in private though.
Also, I would like to ask you, since you have been so forthcoming, why didn't you vote or speak on the fourth day? As I understand it from what you relayed to us, the condition that prevented you to do so lasted only until the end of the third day.
Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Long answer would be because I was involved in 5 games simutaniously, thus....
Short answer would be because of sheer laziness.
Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Lord Winter is lurking massively, I suppose we can still afford to lynch someone who is barely talking at all then lynching someone who is at least trying to defend himself.
Unvote: Flax
Vote: Lord Winter
Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
I am afraid I am a little sleep depraved to join in the voting this round. My nerves are raw and I keep seeing things.
*looks nervously over shoulder*
My thoughts are not coherent and old nightmares haunts my daydreams. I am seeing old ghosts, especially the golden dragon Draupnir. His old magic nearly fried me and I am only now realising that I could have died.
*shudders*
I need to lie down... if I dared doing so.

I ... um can through the vibrations still in the air pick up some *looks over shoulder* eh... whispers.
Apparently these are the methods of murder:
'khaan - Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM! - destroys head
Reenk - Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM! - destroys head
Yoyoma - beaten to a pulp. (No magic evident)
*shudders*
It could be ... maybe... the magus Mafioso only had two Cerebelus Explodum scrolls? *buries face in palms*

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
The mafioso hasn't killed recently leading me to believe there lurking.
Captain blackadder & AVSM wouldn't kill there own cult members I believe, seeing as I removed Yoyoma just to see if this cult was innocent, evidence suggests it is....
Halo Of Innocence: Captain Blackadder & A very Super Market
Suspects:
Quintus JC
The Flax**
Thermal Mercury
Lord Winter*
Sigurd
*Lurkers
**Only slightly active
Quintus:
Believes he is in my cult, obviously but a mere apprentice! Not a top suspect, parcipating meaning he would likely kill if in attendance, no reason to believe he may be in my cult, that's flapping reliable to me.
The Flax:
Light Lurking with small doses of activity, not much trouble on his back either, 2nd priority suspect for me.
Thermal Mercury:
Horrible angry hated arrogant mage that claims huge power, active, very active & has helped town 'supposedly' in ways not all people are aware of, still far from cleared.
Lord Winter:
Lurking devilishly, suiting the killing pattern, stays out of the lime like, in no confirmed cult that makes me think he is innocent 1st priority suspect for me
Sigurd:
Seems to act like a townie but can easily deceive, he knows a lot of information, enough to destroy town even? Off the hook for now.
Vote: Lord winter
Don't just stand there you weak fools, praise my holy name! Learn your place, I belong in the sky, you can subside in the sewers!

The fifth day of the Council brought at least some small discussion between the remaining Magi. But a sickness appeared to have fallen on the Council itself and several of it's members said nothing, or simply shivered and sweated as if with a chill.
Finally Boudica called the session to a close for the day and the screetching chalkboard showed quite clearly that the Mage known as Lord Winter was up for exile. When summoned to the Magus Supremo to take his punishment, Lord Winter refused to budge - although 'refusal' would indicate some kind of activity - and from Lord Winter there was none.
The Mage seated next to him gave Lord Winter a shake and lo and behold! - The Mage's robes collapsed into a heap!
Lord Winter was not there.
There was some general commotion - several of the Magi assuming foul play - perhaps one last trick of the Magus Mafioso - but Boudica quickly drew her minions to her and consulted with them.
A study of the minutes revealed that Lord Winter had not spoken since the first day of the Council. None of the Magi could swear even that they had seen him leave his chair. A thorough search of Lord Winter's room was conducted and a note found which was returned to Boudica. The old crone affixed her eyeglasses to the ridge of her sabre-like nose and read thusly:
"Dear all,
I have decided that the life of a Mage is not for me and I am returning to my village in the Southern jungles to follow my true shamanic path. If someone could settle my room service bill, I'd be most grateful.
signed
Habanero Negra"
Boudica stared at the tally and appeared lost in thought for a moment before she spoke once more.
"I shall consult the Rhandome! - If it remain black then I shall use my power for today to exile the Mage known as Sigurd to the VOID! - If it become white, then Sigurd shall be spared!"
The Rhandome was bought out once more from the cupboard under the wide spiral stairs and placed before the wizzened - and clearly insane - old Sorceress. She passed her hand over its reflective surface and sure enough the globe was lit with a pale and milky light.
The Mage known as Sigurd found he had been holding his breath, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Boudica shuffled from the Hall and headed for the gym... or at least the jacuzzi, as the sun set on the Tower of Sorcery.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
This game is actually interesting, but I think that it has come into misfortune with the other two (very big) large games going on, as well as the 10th anniversary game, where I am far too scared to reveal myself in front of those big, scary, players.
Anyways, I'm dead in both of the large games, but have gotten hoplessly lost in this one. For now.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
Greetings dear council member,
I had the misfortune of being affected by a heinous spell yesterday, one which apparently made me not able to vote and put me in a state of "witless".
Now I have full set of utensils and can contribute more fully. The night is upon us and I must say, Thermal Mercury is not looking to good right now. He clearly revealed that he was the one killing Yoyoma last night.
Now, should he not be punished for this insolence?
It has come to my knowledge that Thermal might be the senior elder in his order, which happen to coincide with his ability to find out which magi belongs to which order. Remember his Blackadder + AVSM = Yoyoma. An order which was going to investigate me last night, but unfortunately wasn't able to.
But then he goes on to kill Yoyoma, and I can't see that we have that ability in our order. Any one else that have this and can therefore clear Thermal? This is why I believe he either is the Mafioso or have been converted like Greyblades. The Mafioso might have been able to convert two, creating his own little order of Mafiosi within the council.
And lastly... who put that spell on me last night?
Reveal publicly or via PM.

Re: Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - IN PLAY
NIGHT FIVE
Thermal Mercury sat at his writing desk and cursed as the third clay-stemmed pipe of the day, cracked between his clenched teeth and spilt it's smouldering contents into his lap.
Dusting the glowing coals of tobacco from his robe into the sink in the en-suite, the Mage swore a few times and returned to the bedroom to continue his work.
A sinister chuckle caused Thermal Mercury to turn sharply. Before him stood the dark figure of a Mage - a scroll unfurled before him.
With a furious anger, Thermal Mercury assumed the pose of The Vengeful Gosling and prepared to unleash a powerful - albeit unmagical - attack on the intruder, but as had been found by previous Council members, the dark figure was well-prepared and as Thermal Mercury flew toward him, was already speaking aloud the incantation which would bind his spell to it's target:
"Cerebellus ....EXPLODUM!" became the last words to enter Thermal Mercury's ears, before his brains swiftly existed his skull in the opposite direction. Thermal Mercury gave a squawk of pain and for a split second, witnessed the chunks of grey matter coating the walls of his luxury suite and then he knew no more.
****************************
"Outspoken he may have been!" Exclaimed Boudica, raising a mug of pitch black coffee in salutation to the fallen Mage "But a Magus Mafioso he was not!
We have work to do Gentle-Magi - I would suggest lynching the correct suspect today, or I fear we may be too late."
