Mafia 33: Checkmate - Game over!

[big_kahunia]

gezz, the post rate in this game is crazy.

random vote: sycko999

[big_kahunia]

Don't be surprised if a black piece claims white and vice versa.

[big_kahunia]

AndrewS, could we have a list of those who aren't voting? Yes, I know I'm evil.

[big_kahunia]

Whoa, 4 deaths. Not sure where to go now. I'll reread. Andrew, The Shadow was white or black? The text says white while the list of ppl died (199) says black.

[big_kahunia]

Do you guys think mafia can kill more than one per night? 32 people is a large game.

[big_kahunia]

LC and Astronaut, what stupid questions? The one stupid one is the one not asked.
I asked the mod to clarify about The Shadow's color as others did. I asked if mafia have extra kills. Night 1, two whities died and two blacks died. Both even (2 apiece for each color), does the idea of mafia having multiple kills sound far-fetched after looking at the evidence. No.

Mod, thanks for the clarification, could you updated the front post (The Shadow is listed as black).

[big_kahunia]

Not sure what to make of Coron, IS's disciple.

[big_kahunia]

32-5=27. Half majority of 27 is 14. But AndrewS has 17 to lynch. I noticed how the mod left the "dead" as still alive, catagory that is. What type of mechanic would that be?

[big_kahunia]

vote: StrykkerVerde

. STD has good points. This puts Stykker at 10, I believe. He has the most votes, obvivously.

[big_kahunia]

StykkerVerde is away until sometime tomorrow, so it would be descent to at least give him a chance to defense himself. Then we can lynch him if we're not satistified.

[big_kahunia]

The S_V with 11 votes: StrykkerVerde. Is Sapphine in this game? Mod, what happened to my "not voting list"?

[big_kahunia]

Oh, after looking at the first post, both were in the game. Sapphine died night 1. But disregard my answer, I just saw your nm.

[big_kahunia]

I don't know if that's the case here, but 4 kills by one hand doesn't make sense.

In most games, yes. But according to the scene, it is clear that

one

person killed four whities as Speedy said. My guess is that Nanook shot all four since "he was caught in the act". The act of what? It sounds like shooting. That makes since because in chess, bishops are used to support long ranged attacks and attack from way back. Perhaps, each mafia can kill by different methods, by the sword or by sniper rifle or by something else. Or that they are allowed to kill by sniper once in the game.

[big_kahunia]

I'm surprised Yoko hasn't been replaced in this game. He asked me to replace him in Andy Griffith (mini) since he had limited access. I think you posted in the Limited Access thread, but I could be wrong. I'm going with a lurker whose posted in other games recently.

vote: sycko999

[big_kahunia]

when we focus more on that, more important issues such as voting patterns, scummy behavior, catching people in lies, and soforth fall to the side and are lost.

I wouldn't call it trying to divert attention; I'd call it trying to keep us on track. Lurkers need to receive pressure so they start posting and become active, but that is the mod's job, not ours. We've got more important things to talk about than sitting around going "hey, where's whatshisface?"

Lead the way, my friend. What can you tell us about voting patterns, scummy behaior, etc...

Mod, please prod sycko. I'm beginning to think he spaced out about this game and such. He's posted elsewhere recently.
My ma said it was never polite to point, but

Great giant FOS: IS's shiney buttocks

[big_kahunia]

thanks Andrew for alphabetizing the OP.

[big_kahunia]

Andrew, any news on prods to sycko?

[big_kahunia]

screw him, lets lynch him.

Which is it IS? The first or the second.

[big_kahunia]

Perhaps, it wasn't the smartest thing to do. But I did prod sycko telling him to post. I know Andrew is busy. Perhaps, I'll get mod killed for pming him. I just tired of the inactivity and waiting.

[big_kahunia]

Thanks Pie. Andrew currently has finals and studying for those has kept him busy as has his work.
I agree roland. When you have that many votes, it is good play to claim and he give something to work with.

[big_kahunia]

hm... so the Queen is pro-town. The bishop was bad, so do you think the Knights are bad too.

[big_kahunia]

Is this an assumption?
Do you know something more than we do?
If the knight's are scum, wouldn't that mean there's 8 scum? That's a lot of mafia, with so few kills each night. The deaths at night and your guess at the Knights being scum doesn't match up.

I'm just speculating. Four Ns and four Bs do seem like a bit much now thinking about it. Perhaps, two Bs and one N or vice versa. I don't know. The mafia member we nailed was a bishop.

IS's reasoning for voting is non-existent most of the time. Though, I recall recently that he did vote w/ reasons. I think he made some points against Olio when voting him yesterday.

[big_kahunia]

Yaw, b_k's post made me wonder why he didn't check those posts himself, but instead just casually mentioned them? Did you look at those posts before FOS'ing me?

The reasons that I didn’t research it at the time are time and apathy. Initially, I faintly recalled IS voting because of a reason. I mean, think about it, IS actually voting w/ reasons isn’t something you see every day.

You think he made some points? Care to check those out as well as my answers to them? It sounds to me you're trying to say IS had reasoning behind his vote.

Well, let’s see:

*sigh*

You missed two things. The amount of posts and the sudden emergence when I called him out. Olio is definitely scum.

The amount of posts. Well prior to his vote on you, you hadn’t posted in 2 weeks. Though, looking back, quite a few have had spans of absences.

Fuldu, why didn't you see nothing wrong in vikingfan's question? Because it wasn't direct?

Good point. fos: Fuldu

Can anyone imagine what a mason group might be? Or if we have one/two?

[big_kahunia]

*cough*

[big_kahunia]

As my first act as mod, I'm going to replace myself, cuz that's like a conflict of interest. Btw: if don't post, expect to be prodded!!!!!! and then if no action, replaced!!! I run a tough board!

Day 4:
After a slow day, the game fires up as moves and combinations fire away. Iammars, a white pawn, is left alone. Many pieces gather around him. One kicks him in the air. Another leaps up to meet him at the apex knocking Iammars sideways. One player upper-cuts his upper-body as gravity brings his body down. One fires an oozy at his back. Dranko finishs the combination with a turn-a-round kick sending Iammars to his death.

Iammars, white pawn, has been killed in an action packed 5-move combo worthy of bunny kill.
It is now night 4. Choices are due by Monday, June 6th at 6:30pm (est).

[big_kahunia]

Deadline extended. I need to talk to AndrewS on a few ambiguties.

[big_kahunia]

Night 4:
A cry came from the black ranks, both Yosarian2 and olio are dead.

A cry came from the white ranks, SpeedyKQ is dead.

Yosarian2, black pawn (townie), has been killed
olio, black pawn (townie), has been killed
SpeedyKQ, white bishop (mafia/alignment cop), has been killed.
With 12 alive, it's 7 to lynch. It is now Day 5

Note: when I get more time and don't feel lazy, I'll add some flavor.

GAME NOTICE!!!!!

As I was reading for this present day, it didn't match up with my spreadsheet (excel). I went back over the first post/roles and noticed an error. The Shadow was listed as a black pawn instead of a white pawn. This error has been corrected. I can confidently say that you can now use the first post to determine which pieces are still in the game. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry guys, my home internet went fubar and so I’m posting from work (which I’m not supposed to be online ). Crola, White Knight – mafia, has been lynched. It’s now night. Deadline later.

[big_kahunia]

Deadline is Tuesday 8:00am (est), on June 21st.

[big_kahunia]

From the white camp, the only cry heard is well there are no cries.

From the back camp, three crys echo the board.

Dranko20, StevieT92, and warpdragon (all black pawns and townies) are dead. It's Day 6, it's 5 to lynch w/ 8 alive.

Day 6:
The eight of you gather for a hearty and lengthy discussion. BabyJesus accuses Yaw and Fuldu. “Why hasn’t Yaw been vigied?” Yaw replies, “Perhaps, because I ate my veggies?” Anyway, you all claim and most agree that to win the best way is to lynch the black mafia. The required five encircle Lt. Origen and string him up!!!!! Afterwards, you all (and the mod) have some nice strawberry sencha.

*yummy*

Lt. Origen, black knight – scum, lynched day 6. It is now night. SpeedyKQ will look after the game in my absence. I might open for day, but I’m not sure. I’ll set a tentative deadline for 26th of June at 9pm (est). Send choices to

both

myself and SpeedyKQ.

Away:
Pooky will be gone from the 25th through the 2nd of July.
I’ll be gone from the 24th through the afternoon of the 29th.

By the way... BEST. ENDGAME. EVER.
::applauds AndrewS and big_k::

Thank AndrewS, he designed the game, which indeed is having a fun endgame. But thank you nonetheless.

[big_kahunia]

White King to D4. White Knight to E7. Black Knight to F5.
What will the King do? Stay on D4, move to D5 or move out of the way? What should he do in his prisoner’s dilemma.
The King stays shrewdly hoping that the knights kill each other. The black knight, not wanting to lose to the white knight, lifts his javelin. The white knight does the same. The two speed toward each other. …

Yaw, white mafia, and Save The Dragons, black mafia, have each been javelined.
Pooky wins the game as does the White town.

Great exciting game everyone. Thank you to all who played and for our replacements. Thanks to SpeedyKQ for taking over for that stint and giving me the chance to close it.
Post comments welcomed!!!!!

Role PMs:
White/Black King:
"No price is too great for the scalp of the enemy King." -- KOBLENTZ

As the White King, you are the commander of the White Army. Every
night, you will submit two choices: One will protect a person from
being killed during the night phase. The second is an informative
role, you will find the color of the person you investigate. You may
not save or investigate yourself, and you win as long as all black
pieces are dead and all mafia pieces are dead.

White/Black Queen:
"THE QUEENE
The Queene is queint, and quicke conceit,
Which makes her walke which way she list,
Ans rootes them up, that lie in wait,
To worke hir treason ere she wist:
Hir force is such against her foes,
That whom she meets, she ouerthrowes... "
- Nicholas Breton

As the White Queen, your official capacity is to serve as the king's
advisor. Every night, you will send two choices: The person that you
wish to kill, and the name of a person which you wish to check the
alignment(Good or Bad) of. You may not choose yourself for either. You
win as long as all black pieces are dead and all mafia members are
dead.


White/Black Bishop:
"In blitz, the knight is stronger than the bishop." - Vlastimil Hort

As the White Bishop, you are a member of the mafia within your ranks.
Not only must you kill all of your comrades, you must kill the
opposing force as well. You are a Bishop with *****, and the Knights
in the army are also mafia along with you. They are **** and ****. You
may talk to any of these during the night. The two Bishops get one
night kill and the two knights get one night kill. In addition to
this, you may check the alignment of one person in the game. Send this
choice along with your choice of who to kill. You win when all black
pieces and all white pieces except Knights and Bishops are dead.

White/Black Knight:
"THE KNIGHT

The Knight is knowledge how to fight
against his Princes enimies,
He neuer makes his walke outright,
But leaps and skips, in wilie wise,
To take by sleight a traitrous foe,
Might slilie seek their ouerthrowe. "

- Nicholas Breton

As the White Knight, you are a member of the mafia within your ranks.
Not only must you kill all of your comrades, you must kill the
opposing force as well. You are a Knight with *****, and the Bishops
in the army are also mafia along with you. They are **** and ****. You
may talk to any of these during the night. The two Bishops get one
night kill and the two Knights get one night kill. In addition to
this, you may check the color of one person in the game. Send this
choice along with your choice of who to kill. You win when all black
pieces and all white pieces except Knights and Bishops are dead.


White/Black Pawn:
"Pawns are the heart and soul of Chess." - Philodor

As a Pawn, you have no special abilities, save your vote to lynch. You
win when all mafia members and all black pieces are dead.


AndrewS didn't send me the rook's pm, but they were just a role blocker and won w/ the town.
