Open 43 - C9+2 GAME OVER before 499

[xyzzy]

A small Italian village has been infiltrated by the mafia, and most in the town have either fled or been killed. There are nine left: two of them have pledged their loyalty to the mafia; the rest will have to work together to figure out who among them is a traitor to their village

JDodge, townie. Lynched day one.
DeathSauce, scum. Lynched day two.
MoS, townie. Killed night three.
ibaesha, scum. Lynched day five.

Welcome to the game! This is a C9+2 game: that means that there are:

• Two Mafia
  
  Possibly one doctor (With a 50% chance that a doctor exists in the game)
  
  Possibly one cop (With a 50% chance that a cop exists in the game)
  
  Five to seven townies, whatever number is required to bring the game to nine players

The odds of a cop and doctor being present are independent of each other. That means that there is a 25% chance of each of the following situations:
1)Just a cop
2)Just a doc
3)Both a cop and a doc
4)Just townies

If there is a cop, he/she will receive the following role:

You are the cop! Every night you can investigate one player. I will tell you what team that player is on. You also have a vote during the day. Please confirm in the thread.

If there is a doctor, he/she will receive the following role:

You are the doctor! Every night you may protect another player. If that player is targetted to be killed by the mafia, then they will survive. You also have a vote during the day. Please confirm in the thread.

Two players will receive this role:

You are a member of the mafia with [...]. Every night the two of you should decide on a player to kill. You may also choose to kill no one. You also have a vote during the day. Please confirm in the thread.

All other players will receive this role:

You are a townie. Your only weapon in this game is a vote, so make sure to use it carefully! Please confirm in the thread.

Rules are below.

[xyzzy]

RULES (Shamelessly stolen and modified from lovable Mr. Flay!)

• Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: Xyyzy
  . Unvotes should likewise be bolded (
  Unvote: Xyzyy
  ) so that I can spot them easier.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes may be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over (a single "Bah!" post with no game information is acceptable).
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive from me; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• If you want me to notice someyhing,
  bold
  it.
• Don't use weird formatting. This includes invisble text, text in weird colors, or "area", "spoiler", etc.
• Don't be stupid: treat other players as equals, and don't mess up your team's chance of winning on purpose.
• Have fun! This is MANDATORY!

[xyzzy]

All roles have been sent. Please confirm in thread.

[xyzzy]

Erg0 has requested replacement and is replaced by Mastermind of Sin.

[xyzzy]

Edion0 has not picked up his role. I will replace him if he doesn't /confirm in 48 hours.

MoS has picked up his role, but hasn't /confirmed. He has 72 hours.

[xyzzy]

He's picked up his role PM, so I gave him the same additional 24 hours I gave MoS. He has until 10:26 GMT tomorrow to pick it up or I'll find a replacement.

Mr.PiGG replaces Edion0.

The game will begin as soon as he /confirms. Feel free to start voting at that point.

Not voting: FeRnAnDo

The town threw accusation after accusation at each other, attacking anything they could find - and for good reason; there was Mafia about, and they couldn't guarantee any resources available. Everyone had their suspicions... but were those suspicions correct? Only time would tell if the Mafia would overtake the village...

This is the easiest VC ever. Didn't change a bit. But hey, when someone's at -1, having exact numbers comes in handy.

You can all thank me some other time; I'll accept thanks in form of iPod Touches, Ferraris, and wads of cash.

[xyzzy]

The town wakes up to begin their discussion. They throw around several possibilities from old grudges, but then someone realizes that JDodge isn't talking very much.

"Hey! You there!" someone says, "Don't you care if the town wins?"

Suddenly JDodge wakes up and looks around. "What? I was in this

game

town? Whoa. Sorry 'bout that."

It's not good enough for this town, which clearly thinks he's lying scum. "He's flailing!" someone shouts.

Then someone else says, "Flailing? Is that so wrong?"

"I agree with that anonymous caller," says JDodge.

"Hmm, using big words like "anonymous", of Greek descent no less! Obviously our killer," says some other person.

Finally MoS shouts, "Enough! This day has gone on long enough, and by the Miracles of Science the moment I vote for this trash the night will begin, except for a brief period wherein an invisible force will place our votes in a magic chart and-"

Someone proposes seeing if MoS weighs the same as a duck, since his total anachronism makes no sense. However, the Magical Invisible Force then gets home from school and counts the votes, making everyone happy...

...Except for JDodge, who was a

townie.

[xyzzy]

Send in night crap quickly.

Preferably yesterday. (Time travel mafia?)

[xyzzy]

DAY TWO

You all wake up. Well, except for one of-

Wait, no scratch that. You really DID all wake up. Except for JDodge, who is disgustingly still hanging from the gallows.

...So, um, yeah, no one's dead. That means less editing of the first post for me - woot!

Andycyca replaces vampyrusddg.

He wants you to know that:

(08:48:37 PM) andycyca: I have to go in 10 minutes or so, could you please post something saying 3 things:
1. that I'm replacing
2. I will read all the thread before some real analysis
3. English is my second language
(08:48:49 PM) andycyca: I promise I'll read and play, but not right now

Interpret the mysterious numbers from hell to mean whatever you wish.

Um... awkward.

"You're scum."
"No, you are."
"No I'm not! I'm the cop, you fool! And you're scum!"
"No I'm not. You are."
"Wait, what?"
"Yes you are."
"What?"
"You're scum."
"No, YOU are!"
"Yeah... that's what I'm saying."
"...Sorry, what?"
"You're my scumbuddy."
"Are you retarded?"
"No, you are though."
"Hey, mod, it's been 14 hours; we're more important than school."
"You just broke the fourth wall!"
"Breaking the fourth wall is a scumtell."
"So's your mom."

The town decides rather quickly that DeathSauce is the scumz, though his admission leaves them puzzled about who his scumbuddy is.

"Wait, aren't you going to... you know... try and make a cool flavorful final plead?"
"Of course not. I'm playing the part of the overpowered psychotic guy who turns himself in so I can make a point. My life's story will be so popular; Brad Pitt's studio payed $30 million for the rights to the story."

DeathSauce was, not surprisingly, scum.

Plz send stuff quick.

[xyzzy]

ibaesha replaces ChocolateAttack.

I'm allowing her to read the thread before reopening the thread to posting. Since someone's going to say "lol the mod rwe mod replaced her andnow it are day a long time latar", don't try and metagame the mod; this should not be taken as a sign of anything. Go on. These are not the droids you are looking for. Any argument that involves using my genderal, racial, replacal, or other X-al decision on mypart will only be laughed at. By me.

Long story short: I only looked at CA's role when I sent the role; this is what I had been planning to do regardless.

[xyzzy]

You all wake up, except for a pirate, who currently has a katana through him. But that's in Maine, and you all are in Italy.

No one died during the night. Oh boy!

[xyzzy]

Day Three, Vote Count Number One, Four to Lynch

NL: TylerJ, andycyca, MoS, ibaesha

Not voting: ryan, thinktank, Setael

No Lynch walks up to the gallows, with a sad face.

"What did I ever do to deserve to be lynched?!? This is so mean. Screw you, town."

No Lynch was... um... yeah.

[xyzzy]

You all wake to find a dead body, with blood flowing from it. It seems that during the night MoS was killed.

What a shame, too. He was a townie.

[xyzzy]

Day Four, Vote Count Number One, Four to Lynch

TylerJ: ryan

Not voting: thinktank, Setael, ibaesha, Andycyca, TylerJ

[xyzzy]

ibaesha needs a prod

Done.

[xyzzy]

It's Four to lynch, because there's six alive.

[xyzzy]

It's Four to lynch, because there's six alive.

Actually we have 4 voting no lynch

Myself (post 817)
Setael (post 811)
Tyler J (post 816)
Andycyca (Post 818)

Oh... well... I'm stupid.

I didn't notice the vote in post 816.

Anyway,

No Lynch was lynched. He was a miller vig cop doc ascetic mason recruiter. Inventor.

Send choices.

[xyzzy]

You all wake up. I really mean that. You

all

wake up. No one died! Yay!

Six alive means four to lynch... or does it? Mid-sentence voting is difficult on the eye.

[xyzzy]

Day Five, Vote Count Number One, Four to Lynch, IBAESHA AT LYNCH MINUS ONE

ibaesha: TylerJ, ryan, Andycyca

Not voting: thinktank, Setael, ibaesha

[xyzzy]

you suck, setael

I'm not bothering with another VC. This is Setael's fault.

Ibaesha stares at all of you, not saying a word.

"Not even going to bother defending yourself, eh?" jeers someone.

"Yeah, you're obviously scum!"

"We kow you are! You or Seteal!"

"If it's worth anything, people who vote right before vote counts are always scum," is what thinktank would have said, if Setael hadn't eerily fulfilled this odd prophecy.

Ibaesha was...

Scum.

Congrats, town. You win!

[xyzzy]

POST GAME STUFF:

I was a bit annoyed when random.org decided that cop and doc was nice, as I was afraid that the game would become follow the cop. But the difference was that you had huge quantities of data day one to go on, so I'm okay with it.

Stay tuned for Fish Monkey God Mafia. 'Twill be epic.

[xyzzy]

Hey, you screwed up my votecount. What can I say?
