View Full Version : Simple and Clean: A Mafia Game

Mafia game #4 for me, I guess.

Sign-ups are CLOSED!

-----

Background
Once upon a time, there was a town named Town. Some of the members of this town were members of a secret criminal organization. Most people were not.

One day, there were orders from the head honcho of said criminal organization: eliminate everybody in the town.

The question on their lips was: Why? The town was pretty much idyllic. There was a lake, it was moderately close to the beach, moderately close to the mountains, had a temperate climate, and had a low crime rate, high educational opportunities, and even had a thriving economy. Its chief export was vanilla; its chief import was chocolate.

But, like good mafiosos, they struck, quickly and silently. Due to bureaucratic limitations, however, they could only kill one person per night. So they killed Mayor Meuilleur.

Upon the discovery of the corpse, the townspeople suddenly knew what to do: about 20 of them would decide the fate of the rest of the town. They would do this by holding special votes and lynching people once per day until the mafiosos were dead. It had worked before (actually this had never been tried).

That being decided, the townspeople went to sleep, some for the last time...

-----

As you have have guessed, this is just a simple game of mafia. Nothing's been added or changed to the rules. Yes, I'm breaking my former record of having mafia games with weird rules. Oh well!

Rules
-1 mafia for every six or seven townspeople.
-Nights will last approximately 24 hours.
-Mafia members will PM their kills and clues to me at night time.
-Clues can be either true or false, and they must alternate. You choose the veracity of your clue at the onset, and then they must alternate.
-All clues must be explained to me.
-If a mafia member fails to send in a clue, I will make a true clue.
-Talking at night is NOT permitted.
-Day will last approximately 48 hours.
-Voting will occur during the day.
-The amount of votes given will equal the number of mafia.
-All votes must be in bold.

Game Status: ENDED

(Turnaround)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming around
(Turnaround)
Every now and then
I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turnaround)
Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by
(Turnaround)
Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
(Turnaround bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turnaround bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turnaround)
Every now and then I get a little
bit restless and I dream of something wild
(Turnaround)
Every now and then I get a little bit
helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
(Turnaround)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I have to get out and cry
(turnaround)
I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

If you're mafia and you kill somebody, you give a description of how you killed him.

For example:

"LightFang was killed when he ate too many hot dogs and promptly exploded."

If it's true, you have to explain it. So, hot dogs->Weinerschnitzel->schnitzel->schneizel->LightFang. So it's true (if I were the murderer).

If it's false, it probably should point to someone else.

I'll probably be starting tomorrow at about 20:00 PST.

Update 1

After what seemed like a night that lasted for three days, the townspeople discovered two truths:

Love was bitten by a snake and then died from the poison.

and

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

"Only one person dead? That doesn't feel right."

"You're right. Let's dig deeper."

The other mafioso was probably too arrogant or too angry; possibly he would have killed with relish or more likely just some salt and pepper. But, he didn't, because he lazily never sent a kill in.

Day ends in 48 hours.

You have: 2 votes. One vote per mafioso.

Neverwonagame3
Sep 25, 2008, 03:58 AM
A good question arises- who is too lazy to send a kill in?

BananaLee
Sep 25, 2008, 04:03 AM
I would say it's d'Artagnan59 as he has been quite silent all around. The other person? I wouldn't know. Maybe phillipe. I'd change my vote if any of them pipe up.

D'Artagnan59
Sep 25, 2008, 05:14 AM

Count me in.

You're too late. ;)

Izipo
Sep 25, 2008, 10:54 AM
I warn all of you against an obvious frame in the first clue and will place my votes later when I've had time to think about it and check all of your profiles.

EDIT : See, what did I tell you, it's starting already.

philippe
Sep 25, 2008, 10:54 AM
A snake? That could refer to Izipo, which would mean he has done a hypocritical oath. :lol:

and I agree, D'artagan needs to rise to the highest position he can...hanging from a tree.
(take that as a vote, nothing personal, d'art ;) )
i don't trust this "new generation", it just tastes like the old one.

EDIT: Oh, BTW, never understimate the cleverness of a maffioso, maybe he gave such an obvious clue that trained mafia players would think too far.

Catharsis
Sep 25, 2008, 01:40 PM
It might be D'Artagnan because he's probably used the words 'arrogant' 'angry' and 'lazy' to describe himself, in the Random Rants thread. Also he did one rant about getting sandwiches instead of burgers once, hence 'salt and pepper' instead of 'relish'.

Not sure about the first clue, so I'll vote for a black swan.

Actually, scratch that last vote. Mafiosi don't usually put a really obvious true clue first (unless they are LightFang :p) because at this stage in the game, we've got nothing else to work with. So I play my Bandwagon Card and vote philippe, too.

electric926
Sep 25, 2008, 02:19 PM
I have no idea whatsoever, so I won't vote for fear of killing an innocent :D.

Snerk
Sep 25, 2008, 04:13 PM
The first clue points shamelessly towards Izipo, though its a tad too obvious to hold much truthiness to it.

As for the second one, i dunno, i'll go with Empiremaker. You can eat fish without some salt and pepper to go with it.

Izipo
Sep 25, 2008, 04:20 PM
Catharsis reasoning makes sense so I'll put my first vote against D'Artagnan59.

Not too sure about Philippe, but I'll probably get around to voting against him if it saves my neck.

A good question is : who would kill Love (Gandhi_rules) ?

choxorn
Sep 25, 2008, 04:47 PM
I'll stick with the crowd and vote D'artagnan59 to be killed by burying in salt and pepper.

I also randomly vote for Swedishguy, cause he's always a mafia.

Stuck in Pi
Sep 25, 2008, 04:49 PM
I vote for everybody!! Mwaha...

Really, I vote for D'artagnan59 because he's just salty.

And I vote for electric926 for not wanting to kill anyone.

Snerk
Sep 25, 2008, 04:52 PM

Sep 25, 2008, 07:44 PM
We're not likely to get it right in the first round, but voting for the most likely canidates- D'Artagnan59, and Izipo. (he probably isn't, but why would he warn against an obvious frame in advance?)

Tasslehoff
Sep 25, 2008, 07:45 PM
Indeed, D'artagnan seems most guilty.

As for vote 2, I believe taillesskangaru hasn't spoken up yet.

taillesskangaru
Sep 25, 2008, 08:02 PM
I can't speak because I do not have with me a computer with internet connection... until now.

Bandwagon: D'Art, Swedishguy, Izipo

Tasslehoff
Sep 25, 2008, 11:12 PM
Only two votes.

And since kangaru has spoken, I change from tailless to rhawn.

My votes are now D'Artagnan and rhawn

Empiremaker
Sep 25, 2008, 11:33 PM
D'Art and Electric926 for pacifism and not showing up.

Crap.

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love

in the blink of an eye time passes us by
where does it go
now will you take a stand for love I am
forever more
these wars have wounded my heart so my trust breaks apart
to human I say these words

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love

this chance we should not miss to share this sacred bliss
and spread it all around I'm gonna spread it all around
my heart been broke before but still I must endure
keep the spirits high keep the spirits high
cause it's the greatest things in life calls for the most sacrifice
are we brave are we brave enough

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love

In order to save my neck, I withdraw my vote against D'Artagnan59 (he's toast anyway, and besides I'm pretty sure he's mafia too).

And I place my two votes against my runner-ups, namely : Philippe and Electric926.
If I counted right, we should be tied...

Update 2 - Day 1

It was a solemn occasion for D'Artagnan59. It was really rather hard to act haughty and snooty but still dignified when you were being buried alive in pepper. He sneezed to death.

It was a happy occasion for Izipo because he was about to be killed for making a hypocritical oath and would no longer have to suck at being a medic in TF2.

D'Artagnan59 was a mafioso!
But Izipo was not. :(

It is now night--you have 24 hours.

Out of curiosisty, when will we vote for the mayor?

Empiremaker
Sep 30, 2008, 09:35 AM
taillesskangaru has a missile in his avatar. May be a frame, but its all I have to go on until someone presents better evidence.

EDIT: Vote changed

Snerk
Sep 30, 2008, 07:38 PM
Probably a frame, yet taillesskangaru seems to be the best bet for now. But what does magic got to do with him?

Stuck in Pi's theory is more plausible, ill go with Catharsis instead.

The other mafioso was probably too arrogant or too angry; possibly he would have killed with relish or more likely just some salt and pepper. But, he didn't, because he lazily never sent a kill in.

A question worth asking, in both hypotheses, is which one is the mafia's.

Yes, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, whatever, pick your poison. Its still based on DnD, although I have no idea whether its officially sanctioned by WotC. Anyhow I hope you get lynched for casting magic missile into the darkness, kender.

Empiremaker, the great game, pepper and salt: all things British or imperial.
and you are the "human fish", salt and pepper and fish and chips combine.
you also made a mod: rise and rule and you have extensive mafia history, whereas i'm doing this for the first time.

You would certainly fit the bill for a veteran. (or an imperialist ;) )

Now, why would you kill Love and Choxorn?

for starters: Love died by poison. Didn't you played a mafia that was about infections?
and in the quote about bureaucracy, i recall you working on corruption and maintenance of cities, something surely to do with bureaucracy.

besides, neverwonagame referred back to the poison hint, he got killed.

I think, i'll be the next murdered in my sleep when you are not lynched.

A. The human fish refers to Swimming and Water Polo, two of my favorite sports. At one point, I had a water polo ball as an avatar.

B. Pepper and Fish? Since when?

C. Rise and Rule: I didn't make the mod, just an extension to it.

D. How does an extensive mafia history make me a mafia. In fact, in many cases, newbies have been mafia.

E. The infection mafia had nothing to do with poison.

F. I have never done anything about corruption or maintenance in either Civ3 or CIV.

G. Why are you going to such lengths to blame me when there is an obvious connection to you?

Brother! Oh who is this evil presence who is making obvious references to me?

First the chess hint, then this steam hint.

I feel it's the Ghost of Izipo taking revenge on me.

Oh, now I know how Cassandra felt.

It must be sneerk.

I can't even get on steam anymore, I forgot my password and the "retrieve lost password" doesn't even work. I'll vote for phillipe with Sneerk's reasoning.

you know, i'm just blindly accusing everyone, i really don't have a clue.

I can only hint, accuse and attack others becuase i've been driven into a corner. That's two obvious clues now.
Go ahead and lynch me if you want, cuase i can already feel the sword of damocles. But you won't get the killer like this.

After all, would a maffiosi be so unhandy, rash and accusing?

No, he must have a low profile.

Oh come on, none of the clues so far have in any way pointed to me. With exception of the steam one since im also in the steam group.

Im not at all sure who it is, but at least phil can be connected with some of the clues.

I'll vote Sneerk. He's been setting up Philippe from the get go.

Well, I ain't sure... seems like the black swan is setting you all up. But since there are only two choices at the moment, I vote for Sneerk.

Snerk
Oct 13, 2008, 07:07 AM
Alas, my future among you gentlemen appears rather dim all of a sudden.

Look to the clues, it really cant be me. But philippe is fairly plausible due to the chess and steam clue.

Also, he's kept a somewhat high profile, and he made sure to mention that as an argument of his defence. Cunning, quite cunning. :huh:

I'll vote Sneerk. He's been setting up Philippe from the get go.
This is the first time i link someone to a clue, its also the first time i vote for philippe.

Sneerk committed suicide after proclaiming that integration was easy, to which he was asked, "What is the integral of x^x?"

He was pretty much innocent. Sorry.

Tailles posted a picture of a tiger when he signed up so the clue points to him.

But I think it might be a frame so I'll vote electric926
Also can the first post be updated?
EDIT: LF you forgot that Sneerk was lynched :p

Allow me to give some info on the last two clues...

The first thing that I thought of when the last guy was killed by steam was the Peter Gabriel song called Steam. The tiger could also refer to the song Eye of the Tiger. Could music be a theme here? :hmm:

taillesskangaru was dragged into a dark room. Suddenly, for dramatic effect, the lights switched on.

"You are a mafia, I dare say!" said sirtommygunn.

"I dare not," was his reply.

"Don't try us," said rhawn.

"I only wish to try to live."

"Too bad you're not a current and have 926 lives like me," said electric926.

The door slowly slid up to reveal a beautiful scene: the sun, blood red, was sinking in the sky, shining its last, feeble rays upon the denizens of Earth before it sank below the horizon to flip around and try again. The ocean glittered like the encrusted jewels of Czar Nicholas's family. A brown pier jutted off into the distance before abruptly stopping, as if the constructor had woken up one day to discover his family missing and went on a long trek to India to discover their whereabouts before realizing that they were all dead and giving up his former, self-indulgent life to become a ferryman at a river where, under the guidance of a wizened wise man, he learned from the river, who despite being an inanimate object was a pretty good teacher as he was able to learn enlightenment and also gave him the tools necessary to pass on his teachings to a friend who followed him along his journey but didn't go through the same tribulations because he was merely a follower.

They dragged him out onto the pier, where its significance was completely lost on them. The tailless man struggled for a bit, and finally they sat on him to subdue him.

"This is pier pressure!" complained taillesskangaru.

"You're a man without peer," quipped the man with the tommy gun.

"It would have been easier to just shoot him with that," complained rhawn, bitterly.

They stuffed him into a nondescript brown bag and then shot him up with so much lead that the bag became pretty descript with red bloodstains. They then dumped the body into the ocean where it became food and thus he returned as dust to the cycle of life.

It's a shame he was innocent.

The sun coughed and sank below the horizon, in honor of the dead man.

"Now, time to take care of some business," said rhawn, withdrawing his butterfly knife and whirling towards the two townspeople.

"No way! You're the mafioso?" asked electric. "Wow, that was too easy!" He grabbed his switchblade and flicked it out, cutting himself on the palm like an amateur.

"Agreed," said sirtommygunn, and he promptly shot the two. Smoke left his gun to escape his evil treachery. He kicked their two bodies into the water, then went off to have a smoke and possibly chat it up with the waitress.

THE MAFIA WINS!!!!!!!

Wait, so was rhawn the mafia, or sirtommygunn?

I was going to accuse rhawn, but I died on the night I decided to do so. :( 'Cause of the long wait for a first clue - rhawn's rather iffy at meeting deadlines in the General Knowledge Quiz and such. Also, he posted something like 'Sneerk. It's either him or electric926' which pretty much (with phillipe) set up the next three days' voting. Very clever play there, if he was the mafioso.

And I died by a tiger. Wasn't rhawn's old avatar a tiger? (From an NFL team, possibly?)

1st kill: Love was bitten by a snake and died from poison.
Frame of Izipo

2nd kill: Choxorn was shot by a magic missle.
Tasslehoff was right, although I was a sorcerer instead of a wizard. Also worked as a frame of him.

3rd kill: neverwonagame3 died when he lost a game of chess.
Frame of phillip

4th kill: Stuck in Pi was killed in a cloud of steam.
True I'm part of the steam group, but sense I can't get on I figured I'd have a way to draw away suspicion.

5th kill: Catharsis was eaten by a tiger.
Frame of Tailles, who put a picture of a tiger when he signed up.

6th kill: BananaLee was the first one dead, but nobody noticed until now.
True, I was the first dead in the NotW game.
