Designer Mafia II - town narrowly wins

[Neo]

I was in school, I couldn't contribute.

Here's a gamble...Leonidas goes away, the Pyro goes away, and now he's back, so maybe Pyro comes back?

[Gaspode]

Do whatever you want with your role--if you want to be more pro-active, go for somebody else. If you want to be on the safe side, block me. Do whatever you think is best for the town (obviously). Unvote: GC because it seems like participation might be rising again, and one of the major reasons I was voting GC was to promote discussion. (Plus, his role claim gets more believable as we discuss it more. He doesn't sound like one who's making up all this on the spot.)

And with the time limit well expired (oops I cant count to 72) the day ended with no lynch.

The night fell, and the choices need to be in within 3 days.

[Amb]

Gaspode stood still setting up his mirror. The mirror would reflect tonight a personality back to the town. As he set it up a stranger approached and asked for a light. When Gaspode handed over his matches the stranger lit them and promptly set Gaspode alight. As Gaspode dropped to the ground he spilled his sachets of garlic, a breath killing device that made votes for any person double due to their breath stinking like hell. A crunching noise could be heard as he collided with the pavement. The lightbulb of his dazzling role blocking sunlamp had shattered.

Gaspode, The Vampire Theorist was burned to death. He was town

There are 5 alive, and it will only take 3 to lynch.

Good luck

I knew it! They're EVERYWHERE! The town is doomed, DOOMED! Hurry everyone, grow some garlic, buy a lamp, get a cross--they're coming for YOU next!

(In other words: bah, it stinks to be dead.)

Last night I got an anonomous email from the mod saying that the town gossip heard GC was scum. As we have nothing else to go on (right?) and for previously stated reasons...Vote: GC

[Green Crayons]

Bleh. Great. I blocked Gaspode, too.


I dont really have a defense against an anonomous email about the town gossip. ..Only that it's "gossip" and not true.

Maybe we should be looking towards everyone else role claiming before voting? It's only three to lynch, might i remind you, and it'd be a bummer to throw the game away - there is still the light guy running around, and possibly a mafia member (three have died already, but one was a traitor - would they have started out with four?).

[Green Crayons]

Also, FOS: The Levite, because 1) he's so quick to lynch, and 2) if/when you do lynch me, and i am in fact town, he can simply lay the blame on the mis-lynch on that town gossip.

[The Levite]

No, I havn't been quick to lynch. This debate has been going on since yesterday. All the gossip did was confirm my suspsions. Not to mention that if you look at my post yesterday I said that if I was wrong then I would take the blame and so be it. I will be true to that.

[Green Crayons]

[Leonidas]

vote: GC

[Neo]

vote GC lack of anything better.

[Green Crayons]

Bah.

[Amb]

And with the vote cast, role blocker, Green Crayons swore in French and began to try to block the ones trying to lynch him. Sadly however, Green Crayons AKA Jacques Costeau and member of a once five strong mafia group was unable to defeat the democratic process, and his body soon hung limply from a nearby tree.

There are four alive, but the winner is not yet determined. It is night, and tomorrow could be a very tight finish indeed.

Green Crayons, Jacques Costeau Roleblocker and last remaining member of a mafia group who knew themselves as the influenzi mafia was lynched.

Night - send choices within 2 days

[Gaspode]

Booyah! Go town! It's your birthday!

You can't lose if you win.

[Green Crayons]

I hope the town buuuuuurnsss...

MUAHAHAHAHAHA... ah.. ha.. ..hum. ... Ahem.

[Amb]

Leonidas the recruited stoned mason and town gossip finally met his match. That is to say a literal match. When asked for a light, he handed over his drug lighting kit and was promptly set alight by the askee.

Leonidas was able to send an investigation result each night to any player, and was recuited some nights ago by the stoned masons, just before their recruiter finally died.

Leonidas - Town Gossip/Cop and Stoned Mason Recruit was burnt to death by a stranger wanting a light.

There are 3 alive - 2 to lynch

This is the final day.

[Planky]

*Looks around at the empty town*

*Wonders where Neo and The Levite has got too*

I just realised if Im the only townie left, I have no chance to win this game

[The Levite]

Three left = role revealing time

Guess I'll start: I am the last of the stoned masons, If you want proof you can look at my post day 1. Whenever you are recruited the drugs affect your speech for the day and you are required to do something odd to your post. My stipulation is that I had to mispell every word in my post. If you look at my posts day 1, notice that I only posted once and that it says:

[Beartalon]

*pst* Neo posted a goodbye thread in VSN.

He wants replacing - reply #3

[Amb]

Well that makes it difficult for the last day. Ill organise a replacement... but bah...

[Amb]

Mackay (oh thank you, oh thank you) is replacing Neo. She has his full role history via AIM, but may need time to consult me about any questions - so please bear that in mind. Game is on...

[Planky]

I am the one and only Clark Kent. Each night I chose whether I could go as superman or Clark. If I went as superman, I couldn't be killed during the knight. If I went as Clark I investigated someone, which came as a news report when dawn broke. And just so you know, I couldnt protect or save other people when I was superman - the role itself wasnt very well done. I can be lynched however.

The only proof that I can think of that says Im superman is the fact noone has claimed it, and no one whom has died was revealed as Clark/Superman

[Mackay]

OK, I'll need some time to read through the thread now that I'm Neo, but there is proof of my role somewhere.

I am the Rubberman. Each night I can choose to go back and delete parts of someone's post. Neo has only used this skill three times, IIRC, but in one of them he has left a clue, and made someone's post say "Me One" (an anagram of Neo). I will go back and find it once I have time to read through the thread properly.

[Planky]

What a talkative bunch you are. If you dont watch it, this day will end up as a no-lynch, and no doubt will result in the mafia winning.

[Mackay]

Sorry. I'm just wondering about both your role claims... both can't really be proven... and I really suck at these last-day decisions.

[The Levite]

Your both right, we do need to make some decisions and as for the role claims...lets look at it this way, in all reality neither of our roles can be proved absolutely. 'Cept maybe Mackay's. But there is always the point where you pass reasonable doubt (for example when we decided to believe Mackay's claim about number two because of the day the role was created). I think that I fall into that category...along with Mackay, and Planky which leaves us where...? If we go along with the process of reasonable doubt then who can we consider? I believe Planky to be innocent, mainly because as he says no one has claimed the superman or Clark Kent role and no one has been revealed with that role as they died. I am innocent because masons cannot recruit evil people. That would leave Mackay...I guess I would suspect her more than anyone because her role just seems so...small. I would think that there would be some other aspect of her role to balance it out...but I just don't know. There's nothing really to go on, it's all just speculations and shadows to me. What do you two think?

[Planky]

[The Levite]

Ok, I was reading through the thread and the only thing I found was this...

Well, Neo. I blocked you last night - good enough proof of my role?
Funny thing is, there was no lighter-man kill last night, either. FOS: Neo.

There was no reason to take my action GC, so I didn't send anything in. No, I'm not the lighter man.

It's really really shaky though...

This pretty much clinches it for me. This, to me, sounds a lot like a mafia ploy to gain the trust of the person they think will be easier to swing. It probably would've worked if he'd done it to me. The thing is, Levite, you have no proof that you were actually one of the masons. At the same time, there was also a role that was a "harlequin street artist" whose investigation results were published directly, I believe. This could well have been the Clark Kent character, and Planky is just clutching at straws. After all, he did wait until both myself and The Levite had claimed before coming out with his "Clark Kent" role... I was more suspicious of him until The Levite said what he did above. Bah, I really don't know. I'd like to FOS someone, but I don't know who is more suspicious to me.

[The Levite]

No, your right, I have no concrete proof whatsoever, I don't know if you or Planky are guilty, I don't know. I truly don't. I had forgotten about the harlequin street artist role. All I'm doing is offering information, because frankly I don't know who suspect. You could be trying to distract us from lynching you by this outburst or Planky could be using this C. Kent thing for a shield or I could be wrong all together. And as you say I have no proof that I am a mason member except circumstancial stuff. So what do you supose we do Mackay? There are no mafia members left and there's an SK. What are your suggestions/thoughts?

[Mackay]

Honestly, Levite? I think Planky is far more suspicious than you, it was just the fact that you claimed that he was innocent that made me suspect you. You claimed first, and at the risk that there may have been a stoned mason left. Planky claimed a role that could have been fulfilled by another character (I'll need to look into this "harlequin street artist" thing, I couldn't find it when I was looking for it while making my last post, but I'm almost certain it said that the results were "published directly" - as in, what C. Kent was doing). I was almost prepared to vote for him, but I'm notoriously bad at this whole intuition thing, and I'm sick of losing games for my own team.

[Mackay]

Oh, I almost forgot.
Big Hairy Eyeball of Suspicion: Planky

[Planky]

For someone whom doesnt have any proof, you seem eager to push attention away from you and on to me. Seems to me that you want to get rid of me because I pose the biggest threat. If I somehow avoid getting lynched, Im safe for the night, as I cant be killed, unless you happen to have a kyponite gas lighter...

[Planky]

*kryptonite

[Mackay]

Planky, I have more proof than you do. I can show evidence for my role. You have a name taken from published results that could have been given by another player.
For someone who's so "innocent", you're sure getting defensive. Not that I can blame you, what with there being three players left and all. Still, you've got things a little skewed. We DON'T HAVE the option of another night. There are THREE PEOPLE left! There is no way you can prove anything! There is no way of any of us conclusively proving anything. The Levite and I, however, at least have previous behaviour to back up our claims. Show us what you've got, Planky, and we'll decide from there.

[Planky]

I dont see how you thought my post was defensive, thats beyond me.

Im in a bad position, because as you said, I have no proof. Other than the fact I have asked on more than one occasion where is the C Kent reports gone. I decided that I wouldnt bother going as clark as I had a better chance of survival going as superman - and that the reports were pretty much useless.
