In order to successfully prosecute criminals, one must have evidence.

Voidedmafia was underneath the floor of the stage, examining the five bodies. Unlike the others, he did not believe that all of the killer's tracks had been covered. After all, the so-called "perfect crime" was but a myth. As long as there was evidence that still needed to be investigated, Voidedmafia was going to search through it all until he revealed the truth, even if it meant he would be spending the entire night cooped up under the floor breathing the smell of mold and blood.

With that in mind, he thoroughly searched snowjorden, hoping to find some sort of identification that would tie snowjorden to his partner. Pocket after pocket after pocket revealed nothing of import. Instead, all Voidedmafia found were snowjorden's car keys, some cigarettes, and driving directions to the building where they were now. Voidedmafia thought it was interesting that he couldn't find snowjorden's wallet anywhere; snowjorden's partner must have gotten to it during the chaos of the lynch on the first day, just like the gun.

"Tch. That was sloppy."

Voidedmafia returned snowjorden to his place in the corner and paused for a moment. He recalled the evening of the dinner when one of the hosts had been shot while the other was strangled. snowjorden dropped his gun when the lynch mob killed him a couple of days ago, which meant that the other death was most likely due to his partner. It seemed a bit odd that the two of them carried only a single gun between them, but so far, there was no evidence to suggest otherwise. For all Voidedmafia knew, Lady Lambdadelta could have been killed with snowjorden's gun. Still, it was all so strange...

Up above, someone else was wandering the ballroom. It didn't take too long to notice the loose floorboard on the stage or the soft light of a flashlight. A quick body count revealed only four sleeping guests, each at a different table and facing each other. Another night of clean-up duty, then.

Deep in thought, Voidedmafia did not hear the noise outside. He was close to the answer. He knew he was close to the answer; everything was there, laid out before him...

Suddenly, the answer came to him. Quite literally.


Voidedmafia,
townie
, was killed on Night 2!


Day 3 begins now.

Well this solves everything, don't it.

Figured it was him if I was alive, you or Otolia if I was dead, but the cop results make this lulzy.

Funny thing, I could already kill Sarg. But I'd rather wait for him to defend himself. Though for me a NK on Voidedmafia is newbie play. A sane person would have killed GreyICE.

Literally does not matter, Otolia.

1 scum left. We have 2 lynches.

1) Primate is a cop. He has a guilty. Sarg is scum
2) Primate is scum. He has no guilty. Sarg MUST be town (because 1 scum)

Sarg flips town, we lynch primate.

There's no defense against a sane cop. I mean we could lynch Primate and if he flips cop vote sarg, it just doesn't matter here.

2 lynches. 1 of the 2 must be scum. Profit.

BTW: Primate claim = good claiming.

Think there's a Vi article on that that should just be mandatory reading.

Tempted! But I'm still alive, which clears you from the perspective that I refused to give a single signal that I was ever leaving the tunnel on D2.

I had this okay plan after the LLD shot because that pointed to one of mb53/mhi200/Sarg/Otolia. We lynch mb53, I tunnel you like all hell, and throw a secondary finger at Otolia. That meant Otolia would certainly kill me, and you'd almost definitely kill me and try to play it off.

It was gonna be nifty because I figured that left mhi and Sarg as the only ones who wouldn't shoot me :/ And believe it or not I was expecting to wake up today.

And then you went a copped him and this sounds really unbelievable. BAH!

(Not that I mind the excellent call with that copping)

Didn't I prove you that I was town ? I know that I kinda screw up with Mb53 in D2 but he didn't play well too. However you are right, if I were the last scum you would have been my N2 kill because you present the most dangerous behavior if I needed to win in LyLo.

And because we are in a newbie game, I don't wanna hammer Sarg without him trying to put a defense. He is here to learn not to be destroyed by the cop claim.

I'd say I was 90% on you being town, I've just been 90% on you being town all along.

But if it wasn't Primate, and wasn't mb53 then ONE of my reads was off. Once I'm at that point, then I can't say that I'm too inclined to stick by my reads :D

The ballroom was illuminated by the bright rays of the sun. The five of them could hear the birds chirping outside. It was a fresh, new morning.

A fresh, new morning that was quickly interrupted by an announcement that would change life as they all knew it.

Primate dramatically pointed his finger at Sarg338 and proclaimed, "I saw Sarg338 sneak underneath the stage where we found Voidedmafia's body! I know he killed him!"

Just as quickly as yesterday, the lynch-happy mob flexed their muscles and advanced towards Sarg338. Otolia tried to reason with the group, but it was useless. Like zombies, they all had the taste of blood, and now they thirsted.

They were mildly surprised when Sarg338 spoke.

"Here, let me make this easy for you guys."

Sarg338 took out his gun and shot himself in the head.


Sarg338,
mafia roleblocker
, was lynched on Day 3!


A win condition has been achieved!


The four of them felt deep joy at their success. They had worked hard together for the past three days to find the mafia scum, and they had done it. There was a certain feeling of sadness that they were not joined by their fallen comrades... but they knew they would eventually see everyone again.

After all, I did guarantee that you would.


GreyICE, Mhi200, and Otolia,
townies
, and Primate,
town cop
, survive and win the game for the town!

QuickTopics


Graveyard: http://www.quicktopic.com/45/H/rRxaeHCpVwiRp

The mafia may reveal their QuickTopic if they so choose, but there really isn't much to see.



Everyone should use this time to discuss the game and give and receive feedback for game play. Ask questions and see what you did well and what needs improving, and apply them to future games.

I'd also like to ask feedback from you, the players, about how I handled this game. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can improve?

That said, I had a great time reading this game. I would like to extend my thanks to the replacements who took over, particularly RayFrost who agreed to stand in for Otolia's V/LA. I'd also like to thank Robocopter87 for being my backup moderator and keeping me on my toes.

Finally, I want to thank everyone for participating in this game. I hope to see you all in a future game, either as moderator or as player.
