Mini Normal 1954: Iambic Tetramafia: Endgame

[UC Voyager]

@Jingle, I'm an X-shot PGO. So I say let them come at me.

nice try bud
i don't think pgo is normal

it isn't!!!!!it isn't non-normal either, so it isn't like there is any possibility of there eing one unless it was mentioned in the first few posts!

I don't know if it's normal, but I find it incredibly unlikely that there's a PGO given current claims and flips. It's almost as bad as the doc claim, for like the same reasons. It doesn't fit with the 'theme'/'conceit'/'whatever' of the known flips and claims; there's almost no way there's a second source of night-kills in this game.

Actually I just checked the wiki and it isn't explicitly normal, and we already had a non-explicitly-normal role flip.

VOTE: Commnight

@UCV claim please.

[UC Voyager]

. . .

WHY NOT

i am a Vanilla townie

[UC Voyager]

i agree

that claim has convinced me to vote commknight because i know for a FACT that isn't normal! i am planning on modding a normal in a month or two and i have seen the roles that or normal and the ones that are not!

[UC Voyager]

[skitter30]

Yeah pretty sure he's flipping scum, but wasn't quite ready for the day to end.

[UC Voyager]

so Commknight, what were you?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

fykus is probably the partner over taiho. that scramblevote was terrible lol

[jjh927]

Stop hammering on Tuesdays! I'm on phone so you don't get flip until like 9 hours from now

Votecount 3.03

Their tethers reached, their patience thin,
They string a man up by his chin;
It calms the raging, booming din-
The shouting fades to mutters.

CommKnight	LYNCH	EspeciallyTheLies, Fykus, skitter30, UC Voyager, Dunkerdoodles
Fykus	L-4	CommKnight
Not Voting	---	ironstove, Taiho, Jingle

The deadline is irrelevant.

With 9 people alive, the lynch threshold was 5.

[jjh927]

And then they leave the dead to be,
To let them keep some honesty,
For the secrets of the guilty
Shouldn't matter to you or me.

CommKnight has been lynched. He was a

Mafia Even-Night Roleblocker.

Spoiler: Role PM

Hullo, CommKnight

Awoo

! You are an Even-Night Roleblocker, aligned with the mafia.
On even-numbered nights, you may target a player to roleblock them. If you are successful, any night action they submit will fail.
You may also submit the factional kill.
You win when the mafia comprises 50% or more of living players, or nothing can stop that happening.

Taiho has been endgamed. He was a

Mafia Traitor.

Spoiler: Role PM

Hullo, Taiho! You are a Traitor, aligned with the mafia.
You know your team consists of

I'm still redacting this even in endgame

You win when the mafia comprises 50% or more of living players, or nothing can stop that happening.
If both of the other members of the mafia are dead, you will be endgamed and lose.

The town wins!

They are survived by:

Vanilla Townies:

Fykus,
Ironstove,
Skitter30,
UC Voyager,

Masons:

Dunkerdoodles,
EspeciallyTheLies

Spoiler: Role PM

Hullo, Dunkerdoodles/EspeciallyTheLies! You are a Mason, aligned with the town.
You start the game in a PT (private topic) with

Unnecessary redaction

. This PT will be locked during the day.
You win when only town-aligned players are alive.

PT Enabler

Jingle

Spoiler: Role PM

Hullo, Jingle! You are a PT Enabler, aligned with the town.
If, at any point in the game, you die, all abilities relating to the continuation of any PTs (private topics) immediately cease functioning and any PTs created by abilities are locked. This has no effect on the mafia factional PT.
You win when only town-aligned players are alive.

PTs will be released at some point assuming no objections and will be released sooner if the relevant parties actually say so.

Here's the full flavour in one big blobpost. I had no idea how the hell this was going to turn out because I was writing it as I went along.


Sombre moods afflict the weary.
You whose lives are idle, dreary,
Gather 'round, and hear the sound
Of a tale of mankind's misery.
Around a fire, like now we sit,
Were thirteen people in deep shit-
A man was dead, and with his head-
The mark of a mafia hit.
Instead of calling up the cops,
This hoity toity group of fops
Give up all hope, and pick up rope
To kill until the killing stops.

They didn't falter, didn't wait-
They didn't question, hesitate.
Fingers point at shouting faces-
Rage, suspicion; sweet catharsis.
A life in hand is not worth yours.
The mob will kill for any cause.
Both groups are mobs in their own way-
One kills by night, one kills by day.
Were they all evil from the start,
Or did murder spoil ripened hearts?
No- 'evil' doesn't matter here.
The side to root for lives in fear.
Killing for self-preservation
Perhaps does not cause one's damnation.
But to the dead, it's death the same.
They cannot argue who's to blame.

With guns or knives or stones or sticks
And words and lies and politics,
The first one dies, as happens must-
The people gather, and call it just.

To let the innocent die-
It could be no easy thing,
No easy thing to just stand by,
No easy thing to watch them cling
To the scraps of life they still hold,
To the seconds left you gave them.
Yet that is how the dice have rolled,
And they blame those dice for being scum.
And they claim more lives for they are scum.
In the night, another body dropped.
When it's light, and when the morning comes
It is found, and celebration stopped.
There were then two deaths to lament,
For yesterday's man was innocent.

Furious, the people gather,
Certain that this time, they'll be right.
But while it does raise motivations,
Anger also clouds one's sight.
They have to press on, anyway,
For who can know what comes at night?
So there is need, and rage, and guilt.
The burdens of yesterday slip tight.
It is time for debate. Who dies?
An accusation flies. They fight.
A conclusion is swiftly reached,
The last breath drawn at midnight.

'Tis a fine day, when most agree,
For he with the majority.
But of course, that could simply be
The tides of group mentality-
It may not last, so make points fast,
Lest fingers start to point your way.

There was no doubt this time around.
The damning evidence was found
On the dead body. But it soothes
The mind to be vindicated.

The people of the town slept well;
It is good to strike back, to fight-
To make the call that is still right
Through the all-seeing eye of hindsight.

The good dreams, like a coil of rope,
End. One man does not wake up.

Come dawn, they gather once again,
Once thirteen, now not even ten.
'Until the killing stops? But when
is that,' the jaded stutter.
Their tethers reached, their patience thin,
They string a man up by his chin;
It calms the raging, booming din-
The shouting fades to mutters.

And then they leave the dead to be,
To let them keep some honesty,
For the secrets of the guilty
Shouldn't matter to you or me.

Mod Topic
Dead PT
Mafia PT
Mason PT
Neighbourhood PT (it doesn't have anything in it so I figured I'd release it right away)

[Dunkerdoodles]

[Jingle]

As the enabler I give you permission to release the PTs.

Also, does this mean I should stop PMing you to have the scumteam shoot me?

[UC Voyager]

[Dunkerdoodles]

[TwoInAMillion]

Only two scum? Interesting.

[UC Voyager]

Only two scum? Interesting.

traitor was the third, but if a traitor's buddys are killed, the mafia lose
