Newbie Mafia 7 - The game - TOWN wins

[Dragon Phoenix]

Welcome to Tintoretto, a quiet village on the right side of Sicily's notorious vulcano, the Etna. A pieceful hamlet, with only 12 inhabitants, going their own little way. Unfortunately, this morning they found a note on the city hall door... "Buon Giorno compadres! Our Family has asked us to take over the power in this litle village, and to do so, we will kill one of you each night... Grazie, the Mastroiani family." And now night is falling....

THE ROLES
3 Mastroiani mafia. They know eachother, talk at the games 'night' via email and select a victim.
1 sane cop. Will email me each 'night' one name and will get the result MAFIA or NOT MAFIA.
1 doctor. Will email me each 'night' one name to protect. Should that player be targeted by the mafia, there is no night kill.

GENERAL RULES

1. Don't be a jerk.
2. Do not post emails from me.
3. Do not talk about this game outside the thread, except for the mafia (and they only at 'night')
4. During the games 'days' you vote to select a lynch victim to rid the town of the mafia. A majority of the votes means that that player hangs, and night starts.
5. I will set deadlines for the night choices. The first night if you need to make a choice but don't, I will do so for you (random). The other nights, if you do not meet the deadline, too bad.
6. If the game starts dragging, I will set a deadline for the day voting. I will announce that at least 48h beforehand. When a day deadline arrives, 50% of the majority suffices to be lynched. In the event of a tie of votes, the one who got there first hangs.
7. If you want out of the game, tell me so by email, but do not just publish your role and leave.

and most important:

8. When you are dead, you are dead! No more posting in this thread. This holds especially for the cop.

~ Opens PortaBar (tm). "Get your Saturn 5's here." New recipe: Grappa, Greek Brandy, Baileys, Budweiser, topped off with Sicilian rough red wine.

[Sparticus]

Hey, ChienFou. I'll take one.

I am still Sparticus, no matter what you say.

[Werebear]

I'll take one too.

[Antrax]

I still think this setup favours the mafia. Unless, of course, I'm on the town's side

[Beartalon]

*sits at the bar until he knows what the hell he's doing*

[Dragon Phoenix]

Waiting for emails from Garm, Xer0x, Termital, Dark and Duphrates to send you your roles.

[xer0x]

confirm here. just send me the email. duskherald@yahoo.com.sg

The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell.

[Duphrates]

LOL @ Beartalon

Confirmation for me too.

danny@abcwax.co.uk

*joins Beartalon at the bar, quietly observing*

[Werebear]

Vote: Antrax for highly suspicious behavior. Someone had to say it.

(for the newbies: No, the game hasn't started. No, Antrax isn't playing. No, I'm not either. Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.)

Werebear

[Beartalon]

*throws an armed beartrap at WereBear*
You're very "present" for someone who's supposed to be on the sidelines of this game.

[Werebear]

Pickapackabrickabrackashishboomba! Beartalon, Beartalon, Rah Rah Rah!

Oh, yeah, one other thing? No editing messages in a mafia. Bad form indeed. If you say something really stupid, correct it in the next note.

[Hitchhiker]

hopes BearTalon doesn't expire from "editing withdrawal"

[Beartalon]

Not correcting my spelling will killl me.

[ML]

*Sits down next to BearTalon*
*Proceeds to get very drunk*

(Hey, I actually belong here )

[Peekay]

*Walks in and sees all the people on the sidelines.*
*Sits in back corner trying to get noticed by waiter without being noticed by spectators.*

[Beartalon]

*sees Peekay anyway*

Waiter! Go give Peekay a drink on me, and one for me, Duphrates and ML here. No, one each - I don't share alcohol.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Waiting for emails from Termital and Dark.....

[Peekay]

*Thanks Beartalon for drink*
*Accepts he's been noticed and joins everyone elese at bar.*

[Termital]

Here! Here! and waiting for e-mail.

[Duphrates]

If we get really drunk at the bar, everyone will be too inebriated to commit a murder anyway, so I'll get another round in . Make merry, not war, that's what I say. What's everyone having?

[Beartalon]

I'll have a peach schnaaps, thanks.

*in a slightly drunken slur* "Make Mary, not war, hm? I've always wondered about the phrase: "Eat, drink and be Mary, for tomorrow we die." Who's Mary and why would I want to be her or make her?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Waiting for Dark.

I will give him a few more hours, then we start the game. If his role requires a choice, I will do that by random number generator.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Some of you are asking questions by email. Please continue to do so! The reason why we run newbie games is to make sure everybody understands how the game goes.

[ML]

*orders more beer to calm nerves*

[Beartalon]

Ok - so now it's night. Is the bar closed?

[Duphrates]

"Don't worry about clossching time" says Duphrates, now falling all over the place - "Party at -hic- mine -hic- bring schum take-outsch" -then proceeds to grab everyone in a "friendly" headlock saying "do you know, how much -hic- I luuurve thisch perschon". Falls over, closes eyes and goes to sleep with the barmaid shaking her head, tutting.

(This is a great game)

[Dragon Phoenix]

It is day

As dawn breaks, the restless citizens of Tintoretto gather around the village square, in fearful anticipation of the nights events. A quick headcount reveals... twelve... !? Someone demands a recount, but the result is the same. Everyone is alive! Was it all just a bad dream? Or?

Anyway, this gives the town the chance to get ahead of the mafia. Time to start discussions and voting in order to lynch one of you.

NB please put your votes in bold for my convenience. Adn no editing or deleting of posts.

I have asked Soothsayer to take over from Dark, at least until he shows up.

[GARM]

Oh well here goes nothing, my first vote ever.

VOTE: DARK

Completely random

Edited by DP to bold the vote

[MadMax]

Working on my 3rd Zombie contemplating the pure randomness of this vote. Presumably you got it right Doc, saved a townie. Keep up the good work.

[Beartalon]

Vote: Peekay - Not much logic can be applied to the first vote, so I'm just going on portayed behaviours, like trying to sneak around unnoticed.

*pokes Duphrates awake from his hung-over stupor*

[Peekay]

I agree about the lack of logic in first day votes, though I assure you my sneaking in was an aspect of my everday personality, not my game one. Anyway, keeping with the lack of logic, my random number generator tells me to Vote: A Fire Inside until someone gives me a good reason to change to another player.

[xer0x]

Well done Doc, whoever you are. Vote: Termital until he talks or someone has a better idea.

[Faeriefire]

We're not going to get anything done if we vote randomly. I say we vote for someone who hasn't yet said anything. That leaves Dark, A Fire Inside, and Tanstaafl. Ummmmmm . . . . . . (oh, oh randomness). vote: A Fire Inside

[Dragon Phoenix]

Answering a question that may be relevant to other players as well: you can change your vote any time you like. Just put unvote: XXXXX, vote: YYYY in your post.

[Soothsayer]

Hi - I'm temporarily replacing Dark until he shows up.

In the meanwhile I would like to give the doc a high five - nice work.... the force is strong in your family.

vote: ML because he hasn't spoken yet

Sets up hot dog stand.
Get yer hot dogs here - only $1
Gives the bear and the dog some freebies

[Duphrates]

*Bleary eyed*

Morning.

I'm going to vote BEARTALON for waking me up.

(Not that I mind a good poke in the morning)

[MadMax]

Tanstaafl is one thought. No good reason other than previously stated no comments recieved so far.

2nd thought someone watching without participating....Who knows.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Another important email I received, this time whether the doctor could heal himself(herself). This depends on the moderator.

In my games, the doctor can only heal other players.
