London Mafia - SCORES ARE IN - See you in London 2

[d8P]

Yay! Anyone still have a summary to hand, maybe speed the process up a little?

[d8P]

Ah yeah. Thanks, MeMe. I can't remember which one of you I found suspicious, but you've been most helpful and active, so

Vote: Arminger

and let's get this show back on the road. At least until i can remember why I wasn't partial first time round.

[d8P]

Reasoning? No.

S

easoning. Just trying to spice things up.

Could the powers that be please email those who haven't posted on the new board?

[d8P]

Unvote: Arminger

~looks around~

Does anyone have anything concrete/provable/earthshattering/incriminating that they need to get off their chests? No? Shame.

I guess we're back to square 1.1 then. Will re-read then probably vote randomly for Dourgrim

[d8P]

Great work! Thanks Norinel. Should have done some of that myself this weekend. Will do some later, I promise.

[d8P]

You mean MeMe has

a

point = more than anyone else. Man, this is like day one all over again.

I love it.

Unvote: Night Stalker

I know I said I'd prepare a summary, but I'm snowed under at the moment preparing my portfolio.

But don't let that stop the rest of you.

[d8P]

We can cross that bridge when we come to it, MeMe. Let it be known that I assume scum would put some effort into making a claim, and wouldn't mess it up twice.

[d8P]

(assuming NS turns out innocent) We have a new entry for the theory section!

Townies

should always make their roles sound interesting. Remember, mafia is not about making judgements based on the evidence, it's a popularity contest! If you're given a nondescript role, tweak it: given John Smith, claim you're Johann Strauss. People will say "Oh, how interesting. Let's not lynch Johann." or "No one who speaks German can be evil."

[/simpsons]

[d8P]

Ya got me MeMe.

No, really though, I'm going purely on gut feeling. I didn't mean to be obnoxious. I meant it as a "it'll be funny if..." remark.

For all I know, NS is scum and he second guessed me. It's just that the mafia are usually a lot less blasé about claiming.

I am looking for an alternative, though.

[d8P]

~Watches Porro's mental gymnastics~
OOOOoo...AAAh.... EEeee...

~applauds~

Man, sorry to disappoint but you've left out one possibility - the truth: I'm

pro-town

. I think NS just

may be

a townie.

You found my swift unvote suspicious. OK. Just don't expect to keep that idea for the rest of the game

[d8P]

Summary continued...

Page 18b:
Discer calls for mith to investigate Totem, not having understood Totem's confirmation (Diogenes=>Werebear=Mycroft).
Bw forms against discer for asking mith to waste an investigation.

Page 19
Discer claims "Sarah McMillan, a townie"
Jalyn calls for role's blurb, Porro seconds, and unvotes before being answered.
Discer says he'd have to quote the mod to state his role more clearly.

Page 20
Porro claims to have checked his role and found identical wording
Porro caims Jane Moore, a townie
Bw on Kingpin because of his absence druring Blynker's lynch, and his post after rite's claim where it seemed like he was "fishing for info" about townies.

Page 21
Kingpin (Mrs. Hudson) lynched at deadline.
Mith - Inspector Bradstreet (town) – Cabbed to death N4
Discer - Sarah McMillan (town) - Stabbed to death N4
(DAY 4 beigns)Totem reveals he has info about MeMe, asks what connections she has to other players. CB tries to start a bw on Doomcow, because of his deep and abiding
MeMe claims she's not part of a group.

Page 22
Totem reveals results for MeMe: "Looks like she hasn't done any wrong thing yet but your guts tell you she is going to be a lot of trouble"
MeMe wrily promises to tell the town if she turns evil. This causes much confusion. In London, "irony" apparently means made of iron.
MeMe suggests she'd prefer not to have to role claim unless it's necessary

Page 23
Arminger votes MeMe without much explanation ("she may or may not be be evil").
Bw slowly forms against Arm, who rephrases his vote to challenge concensus that the MeMe results are paranoia.

Page 24
Disc between Arm and MeMe.
Role claim from MeMe determined good in principle but not enough players call for it.

Page 25
Game stagnates: neither major candidate under fire seems overwhelmingly guilty.
Arminger claims Oliver Clay, townie.
Bw against arm turns and heads for NS for lurking

Page 26
More NS bandwagonning, board crash.

Page 1 and 2 After Crash
Confusion and memory loss abound.
Totem saves London.
Confusion and memory still prolific.

Page 3 AC
Norinel uses Totem's magic wand to cure the amnesia of the good folk of London.
NS bw resumed.
NS claims John Smith, a townie.
d8P thinks that's ok.

Page 4 AC
The rest of the town don't (except for Norinel, who continues his good work curing his fellow Londoners).

Page 5 AC
NS = John Smith is lynched
Green Crayons, the Duke Of Kent, mason, compassed to death in the Temple, N5
Quagmire, Harry Sutton, mafia, killed by the Hound.N5
(DAY 5 begins)Totem says has info on an innocent
Bw forms on UT because Arm was lurking (according to DS and Dour) and is being evasive (according to ID)

Page 6 AC
Oh, come

on

.

I would very much like to hear from Kelvin around now.

[d8P]

[OT]Oh my god. I just heard a busker playing Hotel California by the Eagle

in German

.
~shudders~[/OT]
I don't really know if we can get much info from that lynch. Granted there's no great alternative, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

[d8P]

Apologies, massive. It was entirely for comedic effect. NS got in there before me today with his "I told you so", so I

had

to do something. I might add a disclaimer, though, now that you mention it.

The above summary is meant only to capture the gist of what went on over those days. Note that much of it is subjective, and may be entirely accurate. Nor is it a complete account of every remark, accusation or bw.
Regarding the AC pages, the summary was more for a laugh than usefulness.

But MeMe, I have to ask, why the vote for Jalyn? [ot]Jayln is being bandwagoned for lurking in Independent[/ot]

[d8P]

I think you might have somoething there...ID!

It could be that MeMe and CB are in cahoots. Yes. I shall be flamed for that. OH yes. I shall.

It's possible they were putting on a mock fight to give the impression they're not affiliated.

It's also possible MeMe is trying to put CB more firmly in the driving seat of your bandwagon, as she hops on board.

Or that you're with her.

Or CB.

~goes to find an asbestos umbrella~

You're being inconsistent, though. You voted for UT because of the actions of his predecessor, but you don't want to be coloured with the same brush as yours? And to be honest, there was more to the accusations leveled at you then just what your predecessor did.
No vote, or FoS. Just a

raised eyebrow: Indentureddjinn

.

[added on preview: my god I need to learn how to type more quickly I started this at ~:22]

[d8P]

CB, I won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996 for my book "The Common Freaking Sense Method of Logic and Analysis". Are good typing skills a must?

Anyway ID, I was expecting something different from you there.

"too lazy" rubs me the wrong way for a couple of reasons.
1. Lazy is bad.
2. Lazy is a weak excuse - it looks like you're trying to remove some of the "evidence" against you.

UT, you need to work on those sarcasm tags of yours.

You didn't miss those posts at all. They are possibilities that should be considered.

Assume CB and ID are town and MeMe is mafia, she would do very well to tell CB how clever his posts were, making the town more aware of the part he played in ID's lynch. Then when ID turns out innocent, CB would be set up for th next lynch.

Of course it would also be extremely clever of MeMe (assuming CB is tow, and MeMe and ID are mafia) for her to distance herself from ID and not to appear anti his/her lynch.

[d8P]

Umm. Cool.

Vote: ID

Self preservation.

I think you were being honest in case there are any Miss Marple (DP6) roles in this game. And.....Jack the Ripper? What`s wrong with a nice generic name?

[d8P]

Well, I for one will be happier with you dead, then (no offense ).

Did you get bored or something?

[d8P]

I would have thought he hadn't investigated her, since he was so certain his last choices were innocent.

I'm all for it, though, on account of the minutiae and lack of participation.
It may be we need to replace her, as she hasn't posted once shince we started up again. But while we're waiting,

vote: Jalyn

[self justification ramble]

If you want to go after people, don't do it with suggestions, they're just too subtle.

I think confronting people with your suspicions about them (without voting) can be very useful. Votes can be ignored until it's time to role claim, but when you express suspicion about someone they have to respond to save face.[/sjr]

[d8P]

Sincerest apologies all - My girlfriend (soon-to-be-fianceé if she's not more careful) just sent me tickets to come join her for a week in Italy...leaving tomorrow. Really sorry about the short notice, but it surprised me too. Anyway, I suspect the access will be intermittent. I can post while she's distracted with Uni stuff, but if you'd like to have me replaced, I won't hold it against you. Again, everybody, I'm really Florenc- I mean

sorry

about this.

I'd really like to continue, but will respect your decision.

Unvote: Jalyn/Talitha

[d8P]

There was a "beggar" called Hugh Boone in The Man With The Twisted Lip. If there were others, I'm not aware of them.

[d8P]

I have no problem with revealing but will wait for a conscensus. My role cannot be contested.

[d8P]

I would very much like to hear from MeMe, and consider the whole UT vs. DS thing secondary.

[d8P]

~waits till hope is gone~

[d8P]

WahOO! Way to go, Hound mafia!

I think the woman is just a role bocker (in communication with Holmes, perhaps?), Werebear, but that MeMe was also targetted by the Hound mafia because of yesterday.

I figured that MeMe was in the same family as UT because of the "info" she had on him. I assumed she was trying to make herself out to be protown by sacrificing one of her own.

It confused me for a bit today, but then it struck me - that's

exactly

why the Hound mafia targetted her. She *knew* UT to be mafia, he claimed Hound, which he was not. So the real Hounds knew something was up, and figured MeMe it was a set up.

Now the strange part - If Moriarty was targetted by the woman and the moriarty maf kill was stopped, isn't it reasonable to assume Moriarty was the one killing people. If so, why? Isn't the gf usually the one who doesn't kill until all the other members of the family are dead?

Anyway, who has an updated roleclaim list?
