Mafia 73: NEGWLTWWWTKY - Abandoned!

[Flameaxe]

Hell with this.

Unvote, Vote: schismatized

I can't play this game the way it is right now. Tomorrow I'm going right back on BM, and hopefully the latent wagon will actually materialise now that Captain Distraction is out of the way.

:badvoting:

[Toaster Strudel]

Bad voting? I don't think so. This was claim or die. Schis chose to die.

[Setael]

Not true, TS. We hadn't heard from the mod. There was still a chance of replacement or mass modkill. I almost hope schis turns up town so you people will finally see the light about how scummy erg0 is being this game.

Oh, and TS - I think I've told you this before, but I think you make it way too easy for scum to hide behind you.

[Erg0]

I feel that if he was going to get replaced it would have happened by now. He clearly wasn't going to claim, either. I actually think there's a reasonable chance that he's scum, because there's no reason for a townie to act the way he's been acting.

[Flameaxe]

Erg0, welcome to the top of my scumlist. Feel proud of yourself.

[Setael]

Flameaxe is the greatest.

[Flameaxe]

Flameaxe is the greatest.

Finally someone realizes this. DGB could learn a bit from you.

[Xylthixlm]

Flameaxe, welcome to the top of my scumlist. Feel proud of yourself.

[Toaster Strudel]

Let me guess, it's going to be Flameaxe's turn trolling the game tomorrow...

[Flameaxe]

Flameaxe, welcome to the top of my scumlist. Feel proud of yourself.

Right, because I was the one who threw a hissy-fit when someone didn't meet up with your standard of play. That makes me scummy for not following the great Xyl. I'm sorry, I'll try to remember that the next game I play with you.

My beef with Erg0 (and you, and a lot of you people) is that the entire Schis lynch was because he was bothering you and that he was a distraction. Distractions can be town just as much as they can be scum. This wagon is bullshit, his hammer was bullshit, your hissy-fit was bullshit. Can we actually try and scumhunt please? Thanks, I appreciate it.

[Toaster Strudel]

Getting rid of trolls in this game is like Whack-A-Mole.

The second we hammer one off, another mole rears its ugly head.

[Spambot]

Need a lynch scene here!

Funny enough, mafia is not about trollhunting, its about scumhunting. Your confusion in this topic doesn't surprise me, though.

PLEASE PLEASE KILL TS. She is damn retarded.

Where am I trolling here? The only thing substantial that I've done is call someone out for a shitty vote, which can in some cases, leads to scum. All you've done in this game is bitch and moan about players that you don't like, and push their lynch for shitty reasons. If anyone doesn't believe me, please read the last ~5 pages.

After a quick read of Erg0's posts in isolation, and an excellent use of the find feature, Erg0 has only mentioned Schis once in all of his posts. And he writes:

Man, people are so sensitive.

I'd rather have Schis modkilled than lynched, it would be an awful waste of the town's resources to waste a lynch on someone who's just not going to play the game.

Now please, Goofy, pull your head out of your high horse's ass and play the fucking game the way it was meant to. I would thank you in advance, but I'm pretty sure that you don't plan on doing that at any point, so what's the point?

Flameaxe, I'm not inclined to spark a semantics debate with you, but I would class what you are doing as trolling.

Rather than look at the excellent reasons for eliminating schism by lynch, namely:
1) Playing without accountability
2) Burden in late-game even if he is town
3) Won't be NKed if he is town
4) Shows no intention of lurking in such a way as to be replaced
5) Might well be scum

you have made this into a spray of vitriol against DGB and Erg0.

If someone is not going to play this game in a way that at least makes some reasonable contribution, then their presence is a liability. This is not a case of DGB, Erg0, Xyl, or myself being arrogant/elitist/wanting to force our playstyles onto others - it's simply the fact that a playstyle which makes a point of not contributing simply CANNOT be tolerated.

and let's not forget MEGA-scumtell 6) Didn't even bother claiming anything.

[zu_Faul]

Could you all please stop acting like 4-year-olds?

ALL OF YOU!

Thank you.

We can't really draw any new conclusions until we see shis' alignment (though it's doubtable if this holds a lot of new information). If someone could, he/she should have done it earlier. Let's hope Shanba returns and locks this thread soon, so we can return to PLAY MAFIA.

I'll leave this here so Shanba can do the scene when he returns, but either way - schismatized is lynched, he was a

villager

. Send night choices to both me and Shanba just in case.

[Shanba]

I'm sorry about this guys - I'm really losing motivation for this site. Quality of play, the sheer number of replacements, and, frankly, boredom, are causing me to look at this as a chore rather than a game.

That said, I'm not throwing in the towel yet. I will finish my current games and I'll take stock then. I just wanted to apologise for my recent neglect of this game. Thank you Jdodge for looking after it - I know you're modding too many games as-is :P.

*Gulp*

The Mayor stared at the glass. It was empty. He frowned at it. It resolutely remained empty. He reached for the bottle, missed, and frowned as it fell to the ground with a smash.

"Damn." He was at home, a small, rather cluttered house, consisting of a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. He was currently in the living room, sitting on a deep and comfortable looking armchair amidst a pile of papers, books, magazines and various knick-knacks of all shapes and sizes ranging from the scale model of a dolphin hanging above his head to a series of snowglobes strewn carelessly on the floor.

In the middle of this mess, dominating the room, was a plain wooden table. It had been varnished and polished but was otherwise undecorated, a solid, rectangular affair with thick rectangular legs giving it an air of unmovable solidness. On the table was a glass, empty, with the remnants of a brown liquid creating a slightly darker ring to contrast with the pale translucent ring of the glass itself. The table was otherwise bare, but by the leg nearest the mayor was a pile of broken glass covering one of the snowglobes.

The Mayor's eye landed on the pile of broken glass and settled there for a while. "Hm." Seemingly having reached a decision, he slowly reached out an arm towards the mess, wondering, perhaps, if he was going to have to get up from his armchair. A sudden, sharp cry of pain signalled his success to those on the streets outside.

---

Somewhere nearby, a meeting was concluding.

"So, then. We get 'im! It's all 'is fault, 'es sposed ta deal wiv fings like this!" The speaker was the man known as Mr Pots, a well known rabble-rouser and general hooligan. He was tall, but hunched, so that you only noticed his height when he stretched, and he spoke rather like someone trying to imitate Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. There was no way such an accent was real, but then, why would anyone want to imitate it? He had no friends, but if he did, they might have wondered about this. He exuded an air of general grubbiness, not actually dirty but looking like he should be dirty. There were singe marks on his right arm.

The rest of the assembled crowd looked more or less ambivalent about this plan. The reason, perhaps, was the identity of the "'im" that Pots wanted to "get". Although they made a show of disliking him, because he was an authority figure and it's only right to dislike authority figures, none of them truly disliked the Mayor. It was generally tacitly agreed that so long as he did his job no one else would have to, and frankly, it was also agreed that no one else would be any good at it. The assenting voice was therefore somewhat of a surprise. That it was joined by another was strange indeed. The fact that no one could really place either voice, which were strangely high pitched, but with a quality that could only be described as a

growl

made it even more disconcerting. People began to fidget nervously. The eventual surge forwards was driven, it was later remembered, from

below...

---

The mob approached the Mayor's house. It was not a very good mob. There were some placards, some people had lit some torches, there was even a farming implement to be found here and there (carefully stored for the express purpose of forming mobs), but there was no real enthusiasm. Each person only seemed to be moving because everyone else was, and as everyone else looked as nervous and unenthusiastic as they themselves did, they were not inspired with great dymanism. Nevertheless, they approached the Mayor's house.

Mr Pots smiled. It was a singularly unattractive smile. There were teeth missing, and others varying shades of yellow and black. While the rest of his body just gave an aura of grubbiness, in his mouth that aura became a reality. It was not a sight to dwell on, so we shan't any longer. Shouting angrily, he ran at the door, kicking and punching in a frenetic attempt to knock it down. Though an unpleasant figure, Mr Pots was not exactly evil. He was, however, intensely (and insanely) proud. His overbearing wife was a source of constant ridicule to him, and he simply disliked the Mayor. He would lead the lads in, jeer at him, poke him a bit, break some furniture, and generally leave a mess. But he didn't intend to kill him. This fact might explain why, when he had finished single handedly demolishing the door, he stopped short at seeing the Mayor's body prostrate on the floor, face down, his hand underneath his chest and small puddles of blood staining the plain wooden flooring.

The reader may be assured that the Mayor is not actually dead. But his apparent death stirred the seeds of a mob with

real

fire in their bellies...

I have been told that JDodge will be restarting this game in a few days.

[Shanba]

Silence descended on the town in a, uh, silent manner, pulled softly over like a giant duvet by the setting of the sun. There were no stars, no moon - clouds wafted overhead, an invisible cloak, concealing all nocturnal activities. The streetlamps were not on, and hadn't been since the explosion at the nuclear power plant earlier that month, when all the troubles had started. There was only a sole light anywhere in the streets - a battery powered torch cutting through the darkness like a lightsaber through a stormtrooper's leg.

There was a hand holding the torch. The hand belonged to a figure, cloaked metaphorically in darkness and literally in a large jacket of indiscriminate colour, but certainly on the darker side of dark. The figure was hunched slightly, but proceeding through the streets quickly and assuredly, with the air of someone who was comfortable in their setting, or at least as comfortable as possible in the pitch black. This was a woman with a destination in mind.

Suddenly, she stopped, shining the torch at an undistinguished house in an unremarkable street somewhere in the town. The torch beam settled on the number for a few seconds before she turned it off an knocked solidly on the door.

"It's me. I have to speak to you. I think I've worked something out about some of the deaths recently. Not all the corpses have been chewed - I think there's a murderer on the loose!"

The door opened, and the woman vanished inside.

[Toaster Strudel]

Last night we had two kills. The doctor and the jailkeeper are dead. The roleblocker might have targeted the right player - if someone sent in a roleblock, please come forward if you think you might have stopped a killer (bear in mind there might be a vig).

I'm going to guess here that the highest probability of scum lays with the lurkers. Who might be too lazy to send a NK?

Mmm... maybe not. There is more than 2 scum, so one of them should be able to send in the nightkill. Bizarre.
