Mafia Chapter XLVIII (game over, mafia/vampires tie)

[jadesmar]

Can I quote email in here. Probably not.

Well, all it says is Puzzle Prodigy was killed. One attacker escaped. I was able to capture Cadmium.

I am assuming he was wandering around because... well, how else would I apprehend him.

Porro and his questionable sanity and resurrection have nothing to do with it. I captured Cadmium. It's my questionable sanity on the line here.

vote: kill Cadmium

[Werebear]

MR. TILFORD - can we assume that because Cadmium was found at the keen of the slime, that he was out and about? Or was it random?

Werebear

[Neo]

If Porro is a monster, nobody told me anything about it. (ie no emails, no IMs, not a damn thing)

Besides, IIRC, Dr. Frankenstein and the monster were basically good, just hated eachothers guts right? Wouldn't the logical thing to assume be that we try to kill eachother?

Porro is a confirmed patrolman. The patrolman role is very simple. They come in pairs, and can choose to patrol a person's street together, catching anybody who attacks that person, or they may patrol seperatly, with a lesser chance of catching attackers.

And will somebody please point out to me the proof of an evil doctor? I read something about it a ways back, but didn't see what they were referencing too (just skimmed latest posts, should be doing homework)

Thats all for now. I have a bloody crapload of homework to get done

[Mark J Tilford]

Werebear: I can not give you information about the roles or abilities of any other player.

[Mark J Tilford]

Current votes:
DPW: 1 (Werebear)
IS: 3 (Ferris, Quailman, quercitron)
Quailman: 1 (IS)
silent (crazycellist, Popaboolie)

For freeing Cadmium: 1 (Werebear)
Against: 1 (jadesmar)
For freeing MikeAmok: 0
Against: 0

Unless I post otherwise, deadline will be 48 hours from now. At the status quo, Cadmium & MikeAmok will be lynched, but nobody else.

[Ferris]

Well, if jadesmar, Neo and Porro all vote for one of DPW or IS, then we can avoid the dreaded 'no lynch' situation. Preferably IS, people.

Personally, I have faith in our patrolmen - I think there has been a bit of a smokescreen thrown up to distract from the business of the day: lynching.

[Internet Stranger]

I would like to thank the mindless pack of goons for NOT providing any concrete reason for voting for me.

I will like to give you all a hearty "the hell with you", and may all your future mafia games be dull and awful.

Is it so hard to come up with some reasonong. Even a crappy excuse is better than cheering and gloating the injustice committed. This is no worse than attacks done because you dont see them the same as you. Stop it with the silly groupthink and come up with a reason. Stop being such a puppet and think for yourselves.

Come up with a good reason and I will even vote for myself if it makes so much sense that even I can not refute it.

Unvote: Quailman
Vote: DPW

Despite the fact that Quail sucks, DPW hasnt said a word. Good enough reason for me.

[Ferris]

Here's the three reasons that I had in mind:

1. Originally posted by IS:

   ---

   I have no clue why Tyenar acted the way he was.

   ---

   
   
   Clue: He was mafia, maybe?
   
   

2. Quote:

   Tyenar is nothing more than a townie.

   
   
   If so, he should have a name, but you didn't bother to tell us what it was, did you? Forgetfull? Or evil scum?
   
   

3. Quote:

   Are all the people that claimed roles confirmed by the dead? Thats the only way to be sure someone is telling the truth. For example, the two masons, are we sure they arent baddies in disguise?

   
   
   The act of a desperate man - making remarks calculated to instill a sense of doubt amongst the good guys.

And finally, even though it's not a good reason, my intuition tells me that the whole "Huh? Wha... I'm confused now..." thing is nothing but a sham. Can't prove it without lynching you, so that's what I suggest we do.

[Internet Stranger]

[Ferris]

Posting to see all of IS's reply...

[Werebear]

I'm considering changing my vote to IS, but there's always tomorrow.

Werebear

[Neo]

vote Kill the Captured ones!

Other than that, I have no idea who to vote for

[Cadmium]

Okay, I see there's no chance of you guys letting me out. Fine. Lose another person on the town's side.

I can't vote, so I'll UV: IS. Since I'm innocent, there's still at least one baddy out there. Why do I think it is IS? Who cares, my vote doesn't count.

Oh, by the way, thank you all for finding my reactions on Groza and Quailman . That was very nice of you. Next time I'm a serial killer hunter, he'll kill you all .

For those who are wondering what UV means: Unofficial Vote.

Go bad guys!! They deserve to lose.

Claim a role or perish.

[Popaboolie]

Vote: IS

I believe they were captured for a reason. Because they assisted in the murder of PP. Therefore they deserve to be executed.

[Werebear]

I would like to hear what DPW has to say, but like I said, there's always tomorrow. I was suspicious of IS anyways, as I posted earlier... changing my vote.

Vote: IS

Werebear

[Porro]

IS seems to be the most suspicious (non-locked-up) member of our community to me, so
Vote:IS

[Internet Stranger]

I dont see how.

[Mark J Tilford]

After much debate, the town agrees to lynch IS.

MikeAmok, Cadmium, and IS are all lead to the gallows.

MikeAmok is executed first. He hasn't said a word since his arrest, and remains silent even as the lever operating the trap is pulled. A quick search of his corpse reveals a gun and a letter in Italian.

Mike Amok, mafia, executed

Cadmium, on the other hand, continues pleading with the townsfolk for mercy and insists it was a frame up until the town pulls the noose around the neck. Cadmium tried to fight free at that point, but it was to no avail. A search of her body revealed a letter signed "Count Dracula", and the coroner informed me, to his confusion, that her body appeared to have been dead several months.

Cadmium, vampire Lucy Westrena, executed

IS simply stared hatefully at the crowd as the executioner pulled the lever a third time.

IS, Dr. Henry Jekyll, lynched

It is night; deadline for choices is 72 hours from this posting.

Isn't a Countess supposed to be an Earl's wife? Is there a difference between a Count and an Earl?

Is amazing what a good dictionary will do.

The next morning was particularly quiet.
I first learned that Dr. Neo Frankenstein had been shot and bled in the same manner as L'layne and PP. I was greatly worried by this seeming ritual.

I was also saddened to learn that Scotland Yard officer jadesmar's body had been found horribly beaten to death. The attack seemed to require inhuman strength.

Though not a crime, Egyptologyist crazycellist also died the night. The coroner could find no cause for her death, saying that she appeared to be in perfect health.

There are seven people alive, four votes are needed to lynch. No deadline at present.

[Werebear]

Continuing where I left off, Vote: DPW.

Three kills still? not good.

Werebear

[Werebear]

oops, TWO deaths. *blink*

Werebear

[jadesmar]

Bah! Stupid inhuman strength.

[Quailman]

I agree. DPW is the most suspicious remaining person, but with three deaths last night, it looks as if the only thing to be determined is which bad guys will win. Why won't they attack each other?

I didn't think Mrs. Vampire would remove that threat, but I at least hoped for some relief when we eliminated Dr. Jeckyll.

vote: DPW

[Quailman]

[Werebear]

There were only two murders. The other wasn't a crime.

Werebear

[Werebear]

ALIVE:

Dread Pirate Westley - UNKNOWN
Ferris - Van Helsing, screws with vampires
Popaboolie - Egyptologist Mason
Porro - Patrolman, possibly monster
Quailman - Townie, self-proclaimed
quercitron II - unclaimed Town role
Werebear - Townie, according to L'layne (?)

A shortened list. Anything I missed? Warning: this post might be edited later on to account for things I've missed. This post contains nothing more than a list of who's alive, and claims.

Werebear

[Ferris]

As a hypothesis, maybe the death of his creator has meant that the monster is now uncontrollable and has become a threat?

It certainly looks bad for us, but there's equally a very good chance of lynching a bad guy, as at least we've not got a group of them working against the town with a block vote.

I'd certainly like to hear from Dread Pirate Westley, but if he doesn't respond soon, he'll get my vote.

[Quailman]

[quercitron]

I'll vouch for Popa as Egyptologist.

I'm the Mummy (I wish I could give you a cool name, like Tut or Ankhamen, but I didn't get one, so here's what you get.) I put the curse on the Egyptologists when they woke me up, and it goes away if I die. However, I'm on the Town's side. I didn't want to claim this earlier because I was afraid the bad guys in the Town would start enough of a Crap Logic bandwagon to lynch me to take the curse off the Masons. I also have one extra ability that I get by drawing power from the Egyptologists. I'm not revealing it yet. I will if you want me to.

ALIVE:
DPW: Unknown
Ferris: Van Helsing, screws with vampires
Popa: Egyptologist Mason
Porro: Patrolman, possibly monster
Quail: self-proclaimed Townie
querci: Mummy
Werebear: self-proclaimed Townie, backed up by L'layne

Here's where I stand. We have at least one more Mafia, as Frankenstein was shot as well as vamped. We have a vamp, probably Count Dracula (as Helsing makes reference to him.) We have someone who kills with inhuman strength who hasn't killed before....hmm...who COULD that be? Also, there hasn't been a Godfather death yet, so either of the two Townies (if confirmed, I know Werebear is but I don't know about Quail) could be Godfather (or Dracula? He wouldn't be doing anything special during the day!?)

Last paranoid theory: I'm not discounting that Van Helsing isn't lying. He could BE Dracula. I mean, what better way to get the Town to like you and the bad guys to avoid you, they're not going to kill a guy who might off a Serial Killer for them.

Step 1: DPW claim a role.
