Mafia IX: Triumph of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Thermal]

No matter how often you get a card the odds of it coming up again next time are exactly the same.

It is if the deck is well shuffled, but the amount of glitches in the card generator of random.org make sure that it isn't entirely random, the same card came up after each other a vast majority of times and picture cards rarely ever came up (behavior consistent through all 12 rounds), hence some difficulties when hosting the blackjack tournament.

I'm not just saying this to prove my argument, I simply used the 4 of the same card coming up in a row as an example.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I think the odds of getting 4 8's in a row from a card deck would be 3.50127797 × 10-5, if I had a calculator I could check the math. But crazier things have happened. I got 10 heads in a row flipping a coin and seven 6's in a row rolling a die.

On CFC we are very familiar with these Random Number Generator streaks.

There is a smiley depicting a spearman having defeated a tank - go figure

Maybe it's a browser problem on your end. Works fine for me.

The spearman is very magical. He carries the lance of doom, which can penetrate even the mightiest armor.

Obviously empowered with the mighty tonic that is the Civ 3 Combat System.

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. Despite the horrible deaths of yesterday, many villagers were still determined to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go outside to partake in various leisure activities. One such villager was atheotes, and his leisure activity of choice was walking. Normally, he took the scenic route around the Frontroom Park (where he got the visit the osmium-rich pond and the ducks), but today he decided to hit the denser part of the town. Buildings flanked the street.

atheotes paused to examine the architecture, not really paying attention to much else. Therefore, he was taken by surprised when somebody else's voice rang out.

He heard someone screaming "atheotes, Watch Out! There is a red dot on your chest! It's a Sniper!!!"

The man threw atheotes what appeared to be a bulletproof vest, and he put it on without much thought. Not noticing that it was a vest covered with C-4 explosives!

It was too late to take off the vest though, the button was pushed, and atheotes went KABLOOEE!

A laser pointer was found at the scene...

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Double A had decided to sleep late. After the long execution vote of yesterday, Double A realized that he had not yet begun his St. Patrick's Day celebrations. He decided that it was only fair to all the Irish out there that he would have to start making up ground, and quickly. So he drank. And drank. And drank some more, going strong on Guinness (which he had never had before) until roughly 4:30 AM, when he finally passed out.

As such, it took the man at the door well over a dozen doorbell rings before Double A finally rejoined the world and stumbled downstairs to answer the door.

"Carpenter," the man said, dressed in overalls and carrying a bag of tools in one of his hands. A white van was parked outside the house. "Need a patio built? Porch reinforced? Sunroom added to your house? I'm your man!"

"...gurgh?" Double A managed to mutter after unsuccessfully trying to comprehend the man at the door.

"Well, all righty then," the man said cheerfully, and then let himself in the house. Looking around the house, he didn't waste any time at all giving his appraisal of the situation.

"Hmm, this'll do, perhaps here - no, here's better, yes, here. We could make it 12x18, not too bad a size really, when you think about it. Roofing would be a different story of course, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it - sorry, did I say 'burn'? I meant 'cross', of course. Why in Heaven's name would I say 'burn'? I mean, what's the point of burning a bridge when you come to it? You do that, you can't cross the bridge at all, which isn't a very efficient use of your time. If you were absolutely insistent on burning bridges, you should probably do it after you cross, that way nobody gets to follow you across, which could be useful, I suppose, depending on the situation you're in-" He finally paused, glancing at the still-out-of-it Double A. His eyes were barely open, feeling around for a lightswitch that was on the other side of the wall.

"Oh, there's no point in keeping up this charade any more," the carpenter said. "You're much too hung over to do anything about me anyway. Reaching into his tool bag, he brought out his staple gun and made one adjustment to the house before leaving. The south wall of the foyer now had a Double A-sized ornament stapled to it.

Later that day, Chief of Police Lemur gathered everyone in the Frontroom square in order to make an announcement.

"All right people," he said, "Obviously, there were two more deaths today. Double A was found dead from puncture wounds and massive loss of blood. atheotes died from a stratagem so deadly and so original I had never even thought about such a method before. No, as a matter of fact I had never even envisioned such an original and creative kill. As a matter of fact, I don't think anybody has. Ever." He finally stopped, staring out at the crowd as if to drive home a point.

"Anyway, yeah, so that's where we stand. The mafia are still obviously loose, so you guys get to try again. I wish you better luck this time!"

[Beefy187]

After a hit on two vets, we have a player whos constantly under suspicion and a cheerful spammer killed.

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Subotan

Everyone else should vote for Subotan. He doesn't like Princess Bride. The heretic must be cleansed. Forcibly, and with a spoon.

[White_eyes:D]

I am going to Vote:Sasaki because he is going to vote for me no matter what I say

[White_eyes:D]

Vote:Sasaki forgot to bold.....that WIFOM write-up, Reenk must be happy

[Reenk Roink]

Vote: White eyes

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Vote:khaan

Penalty for getting DE lynched on a whim yesterday. Hiding behind that everyday = cover for mafia.

[Chaotix]

Vote: khaan

We do NOT need another runaway bandwagon this round. Last time was forgivable since it was Day 1... but let's not continue that tradition longer than it needs to go.

I say, since there's absolutely nothing else to go on, we start voting by good old behavioral analysis. And I think we are due an explanation from our new eager bandwagon-starter, khaan. Pressure vote for now.

I take it you weren't complimenting me on my abilities. Guilty as charged

On another note, that's the first time I lol'd at my own death.

Lol, pressure vote.

[Renata]

Lol indeed. It's a vanilla game. What's to pressure? Also, DE wasn't a runaway bandwagon; he lost by one vote.

vote: Chaotix

[naut]

Vote: Winston Hughes

[Joooray]

Lol indeed. It's a vanilla game. What's to pressure? Also, DE wasn't a runaway bandwagon; he lost by one vote.

vote: Chaotix

Seconded, your vote was kinda off, Chaotix. Vote: Chaotix.
Any investigator care to reveal some results for a change? It's been awfully quite so far.

Come on Sasaki....you know I am scum....or are you trying to make the game last a little longer?

You are a good player. But I adore your cheerful spamming skill more so then mafia playing

Vote: Jooray

What if we have a naive detective who will just take up your offer?

[Secura]

vote: Yaseikhaan

I found you immensely suspicious yesterday, particularly the manner in which you chastised people for not voting Diamondeye, and I don't see any liklihood that this behaviour is going to change.

[Chaotix]

Blah, blah. "Pressure" vote was not the most apt term to use, and yes, I realize this. In fact, it was really more of a "draw out the scum into voting me" vote.

Supposedly, I wanted a defense for khaan's deliberate bandwagon-mongery. Really, I suppose it's just that khaan feels like being silly. Which is something I do from time to time as well...

What I find interesting now, though, is how quickly you two jumped on my mis-statement and used it as an excuse to vote me. Especially Renata- you already came under fire last round, and narrowly escaped death. Now you're looking for an easy vote and to slink away with a low profile, it seems.

Unvote, Vote: Renata

[Csargo]

Hmm...

Vote:Chaotix

[atheotes]

Deja vu...I am pretty sure i have been killed the same way previously. trying to think which game it was...will dig up and find it.

Edit: this write-up has supposedly made a few rounds here at the .org

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Chaotix is defending himself suspiciously. This detracts from the khaan wagon :(

[seireikhaan]

Tell me about it. Its detracting from my Subotan bandwagon as well.

[Csargo]

The Chaotix wagon is so much more appealing though.
