Payola Mafia - Game Over

[Fritzler]

From here on out, deadline is always 2 hours from last payment.

Does this mean that whenever someone makes a payment for the rest of the game, if nobody follows up with another payment within two hours, bam, night?

No just the rest of today I think.

[Nightcow]

Each game day will last one week, with a deadline set at dawn. If a payment is made close to the deadline, the new deadline becomes 2 hours from the last payment. Whoever has the most money assigned to their name at the deadline is lynched. If there is a tie, whoever reached that dollar amount first is lynched.

[draygn_mage]

Nice try. I'm the jack of all trades and got innocent on Pooky last night.

[draygn_mage]

pay 60: Twomz

you're either scum playing stupidly or your naive and useless

[Nightcow]

So we get another 2 hours to talk about this

[draygn_mage]

I meant paranoid, not naive damnit

[Nightcow]

pay 60: Twomz

you're either scum playing stupidly or your naive and useless

Is a cop worth more than a jack-of-all-trades?

What is a jack-of-all-trades in mafia?

If he is insane/paranoid he can clarify by investigating me tonight.

[SpeedyKQ]

draygn_mage's payment didn't make it in on time, so he hangs.

draygn_mage, jack-of-all-trades, is lynched.

In his will he leaves everything, which is $60, to Pooky.

[SpeedyKQ]

72 hours for choices.

I really didn't like how today went, but I should have expected it. Everyone did nothing for a week and then there was a big flurry of activity at the end and those who were afk were sol.

And so I proudly present the

New Timing Rules

At the start of the day there is no deadline.

Starting with the first payment,

whenever the lead changes, the new deadline is 72 hours from the lead-change.

If the day lasts a long time with the lead alternating between two people, I may call for a sudden death, where all players may PM me a final payment which all get added at the same time and then the day ends.

[SpeedyKQ]

50% Interest is now added. Everyone will receive another $50 in the morning.

[Mr Stoofer]

He left no will.

[Mr Stoofer]

I am going to put some money on CES today. There is something about his posts yesterday I didn't like, but I don't want to start the deadline ticking just yet.

Also,

FOS: BabyJesus

for not being his usual lynch happy-self. He did say this yesterday:

I'm saving my money so I can HAMMAH someone close to deadline. FYI. Do not be alarmed when it happens.

But never placed any money, which is very unlike him and makes me worry.

I was away when the runup went down....not to mention we had people spouting off about guilty investigations, etc...so I probably wouldn't have anyway.

[BabyJesus]

Pay 5: Thoth

to get the deadline activated at least.

[Mr Stoofer]

Pay 5: Thoth

to get the deadline activated at least.

Not helpful.

Pay 10: CES

. I think he's a better bet.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Why would you want the deadline activated? Seriously, I'd put some money on you, but I think I'll wait a little to lengthen this day.

And Mr. Stoofer, do you have an actual basis for your suspicion or is it just gut?

[BabyJesus]

Why would you want the deadline activated?

otherwise we'll sit around with our thumbs up our butts for several days with everyone being afraid to pay money. Lets keep this active.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

We're one hour into the game. I'd say it's a bit early for that sort of thing.

[the silent speaker]

Twomz, tell us something.

BJ is, as usual, not helpful, but I think this time it's a pro-town not-helpful.

[Nightcow]

I still think it would benefit the town if people pay more than just a few quid. We need as many mafia as possible on minimum wage at the end of every day.

[inHimshallibe]

Pay 55: logicticus

I suspected him Yesterday; I haven't changed my mind.

[Twomz]

Well, i inspected someone last night and got another "guilty" verdict. Either i'm Paranoid, or insane... . (sorry DM) If i ever get an innocent investigation, i'll say so, until then, since i don't know whether it's insane or paranoid, i'm not gonna say who i investigated.

BJ... while i don't think it was a good idea to start the deadline this early, at least it will generate conversation.

Tamuz... stupid not leaving a will... I suggest everyone leave a will for someone... just if it's only to have a larger total amount of money.

I think we should go w/ the "Get the 2nd scummiest looking person to go all in on the most scummiest looking person" route that was suggested earlier. Especially in the next few days.

[Fritzler]

You're paranoid mos def.

[logicticus]

Bah, big money on me.

Nothing I can say, I misread yesterday.
