Handpuppet Mafia! It's over! Find out who won!

[The Cheshire Man]

The Rules:

[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting. If you cannot post for some reason, please contact the mod.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights...unless I tell you otherwise.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If you don't, a random choice will be made for the first night and no choice for subsequent nights.
[04] No quoting role PMs or night messages, though you may paraphrase them to your heart's content. If you have a death wish, request replacement. Keep in mind that replacement may require you to turn over your shill accounts to the new player.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that. One bah post is allowed.
[06] The polls will close once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the endgame (six players or less) only lynches with a regular majority will occur.
[07] Do NOT post at night, and especially do NOT post relevant information at night. Night begins when I post the lynch scene. Feel free to post between the final vote and the lynch scene, especially if it's gallows humor.
[08] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. I'm debating whether bolded unvotes should be mandatory--it would lighten the Mod's workload considerably. For now, they are not mandatory, but still greatly appreciated.
[09] Only votes for one player with correctly spelled names (or abbreviations, see player list) will count. Unless I know who you meant and I feel like letting it slide.
[10] Do NOT edit or delete your posts. If you made a coding error, just post again. Exception: If you inadvertently broke a posting rule that you believe might ruin the game (posting relevant information at night, calling someone a really nasty name, posting relevant information when you are dead), first copy the illegal post, then delete it, then send me your deleted post in its entirety in a PM. I will handle it from there.
[11] Do NOT post in invisible text. Except in your sig, like me , and then nothing relevant.
[12] You are not allowed to quote your winning condition, unless you want to risk a modslaying. Feel free to paraphrase it, however, and even lie about it. That's half the fun, anyway.
[13] The mod is always right. The mod reserves the right to punish transgressions and reward helpfulness as he sees fit. This may mean punishments or rewards never before seen in a mafia game, as well as replacement or modslaying. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email, or do so after the game has finished.

REMINDER: Ventriloquists are immune to both nightkills and lynches until both of their handpuppets are dead. Attempts may be made "just in case," but they will automatically fail if that ventriloquist has a surviving handpuppet.

...a cockroach! Ewww!

Luckily, that's the only dead body you find. It is now Day 1, and everyone is alive. Even the puppets.

After last night, you probably have a lot to discuss -- just don't forget to change your voice when you want your puppet to say something. There are 24 humans and puppets alive and well, so it will take a lucky 13 votes to lynch someone.

Okay, all PMs have been sent. My apologies to those of you who responded swiftly. Those of you who didn't...next time, there'll be a deadline.

Not a single death? That's surprising to say the least. But I'm not complaining. From the signup thread, I seem to remember that ventriloquists can't die until their dummies have died, so I'll vote for a dummy.

Random vote: The Audience we can't have people just sitting around looking at what's happening, now can we?

[Jedo the Jedi]

Hmm... a cockroach. Someone needs to clean up this place.

No random vote.

[Mgm]

Cockroach? Maybe that's why puppets are so itchy...

[Cantankerous Cowboy]

No murders is good. Now we c'n get th' posse together an' rustle us up some horse thieves an' hang 'em!

Anyone out there a horse thief?

[Ian]

Vote:Lord Villedom

[Poker]

Vote: ĴưĎψ

Using those symbols is just going to be annoying after a while.

I agree wit' Poker.

Vote: ????

Nothin' like a bandwagon t' get yerself goin' in th' mornin'.

How d'you pernounce ???? anyways?

[Cantankerous Cowboy]

Tarnation! I cain't even get th' dang word t' show up in th' post!

Unvote until I kin figger out how t' work this new fangled piece o' technolergy.

[The Audience]

"With all due respect-"

"How much is that?"

"Shut up, you jester, you! Anyway, Poker, I think that voting someone just because of their name is kind of silly. Anyway, I will random vote: Cantankerous Cowboy."

"Are you sure that the vote is-"

"Be quiet, Major!"

"Sorry."

[Kingfish]

There's something sinister (or merely unhinged) about internal conversation, so I shall Vote: The Audience.

[Cantankerous Cowboy]

A random vote? That ain't th' way we do thing 'round here. I don't think yer vote was random. I think yer a bunch o' horse thieves. What you need is a good hangin'.

Vote: The Audience

That'll learn ya.

[Jedo the Jedi]

People sure do like to use their puppets. If that's going to be the trend, should I start doing that as well?

[Ĵư&]

FOS Cantankerouz Cowboy

I canz sayz yr name! Yez I can!

[Ĵư&]

Oh my, the sign in doez not work very well on the left hand side at all.... Hmmmmm thiz might be a problem...

[Mgm]

I guess Poker and Fritzler didn't make such a bad choice after all.
Go hit the guy/gal with their hand up your you-know-what for choosing that name.

[Alprezon]

Hahaha! The game is afoot!

vote Woodstock

[Prince]

[theopholis]

Wow. The sun is barely up and already the speculation is running wild, if I may mix a metaphor.

From what I have seen so far, I have to agree with Kingfish. Even if The Audience isn't mafia, he's likely to be a serial killer or at least seriously deranged. The Son of Sam heard voices and look how many people he killed. And Gollum from Lord of the Rings. (*shudder*) Not good company to be with.

Vote: The Audience

[Alprezon]

It should actually be 144,000, if I'm not mistaken. And actually, that's just the number of saints. *shrug*

[Ĵư&]

Given the circumstances, im going to request the mod to allow a name change.

MOD, can I change names for this account

[Molly]

Hey who stepped on my pet cockroach?

[Johnny Maxwell]

I think ĴưĎψ will probably be allowed to change his name due to technical issues, so I won't waste my time voting him/her just yet. Instead i'll join a bandwagon.

Vote:The Audience

[The Audience]

"Look at them. They're voting for me/us. What in the world are they thinking?"

"I know what you mean. If they lynch me/us, they'll be sorry they did."

"Better not drop too many hints now, nurse."

"Sorry."

[PlumPie]

What are you doing, The Audience? Trying to hint at a way-too-powerful role? Come on!

Vote: The Audience

[Prince]

[Poker]

I dunno... it kind of takes away from the suspense. But that's just me. What do the rest of you think?

It also makes killing power roles easier for the scum...

[theopholis]

I think everyone should claim The Audience as his or her puppet. There seems to be plenty of space in his head for all of us.

[The Audience]

"Very funny, theo."

[Mgm]

Which one of you said that?

[Prince]

[Pooky]

vote the Audience

too many for my tastes

[Mgm]

Perhaps The Audience will get off the hook after all.
There's far too much people lurking...

Getting a read on a player is hard enough, getting a read on a handpuppet...
