--Masquerade Mafia--

One thousand men, one thousand sins
In seven rooms, the ball begins
Outside, the masses weep and cry
Red Death has come, the end is nigh

Inside the prince named Prospero
Protected from the frigid snow
Decrees to all: Red Death is dead!
We dance and dine and feel no dread

Though six rooms contain rainbow’s hue
Red, Orange, violet, all through blue
The last stands empty, darkest black

In the corner the clock clangs the hour
Fearsome is its hypnotic pow’r
Then at midnight, a guest’s alone
The Red Death issues forth a moan

A bloody robe drapes over him
A bony mask and bony limbs
Chased by the prince to the last room
He turns around—the Prince’s Doom
The Lord falls dead at the sight
Around him nobles gasp in fright
And then as one, all men freeze
Their bodies seized by dread disease

And so each one falls to the Death
And so each one breaths his last breath
And so mankind’s last stronghold falls
And so the Castle has empty halls
And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death hold illimitable dominion over all.

I'm a terrible poet

*runs* innnnnnn!

I'm in.

In. Interesting, although I imagine people will communicate out-of-thread anyway.

No out of thread communication about this game. That's not unreasonable at all, especially for a mafia game. It's not like I'm stopping you from talking about NotW or life in general :p

I know I personally almost never converse about mafia outside of the thread regardless of whether its allowed or not.

Given my swift exit in NOTW XXX, IN

I would like to try my first mafia game. in please.

Welcome to CFC, aspie. Since this is your first game, we promise to wait at least one day* before backstabbing you.

*Definition of "One Day" is arguable.

I am in.

Good stuff, i'm in.

Alright, I'm IN

IN, and you are most certainly NOT a terrible poet, IMO.

Pit and the Pindulum.

(Also electric is right about CC's general un-suckery at poetry. In that Rhyme Mafia game I hosted a while back he was just putting the mafiosi's balladry to shame, bringin' on the boogie droppin' rhymes like rain.)

It is a very nice poem and I'm in.

I would like to get around 15 before starting so we'll wait until then.

15 being the least I want, please keep signing up even once we get that

in if you have role PMs :p

ok then :) in diddle in

Since I am dead, In.

One more people!!!

Given TLO and Autolycus's sign-up, we probably just have to wait another day for a fourth person to die in NOTW so they'll sign up here.

Me would like to join!

Great, that's our fifteen! I'll work on getting PM's out within a few hours... everyone will get one so check your PM boxes!

You should all have your PM's. As such, it is now Day 1

Day comes again in 48 hours :p

aspie because he is going on holiday anyways.

Ahaha, my dear fellows, we need not the malady of the common folk to send us to Paradise, for truly our Valhalla is right here!

You, good sir! Would your name be kill fire or perhaps kill-joy? I put it to you that you are not celebrating with enough vigour, and demand that you best me in a champagne-quaffing contest, lest my vote stay where it is!

[shameless plug for my Mafia Game]

Just to let y'all know that my Mafia Game is open for sign-ups (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=349082). There are 44 spots, so plenty for everyone. It shouldn't overlap with this game too much, so don't worry about having to choose between the two.

[/shameless plug for my Mafia Game]

I'm going to go with Love for the moment. After all, who knows how this disease is transmitted?

Autolycus for voting Love.

Nictel for voting Autolycus.

TheLastSteve puts on his coat.

TheLastone for voting Nictel voting Autolycus voting for love for voting for almost no reason whatsoever.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

Voting for snerk to balance it out a bit.

Catharsis, I'm hurt that you would say such a thing! It would be un-lady-like to accept such a challenge.

And according to the 3rd man theory, I do believe I should be voting for TheLastOne36

Autolycus for voting on me.

Catharsis, I'm hurt that you would say such a thing! It would be un-lady-like to accept such a challenge.

And according to the 3rd man theory, I do believe I should be voting for TheLastOne36

I'm not the third person to vote for a person?

I vote Seon, he'll make a conspiracy to kill innocents sooner or later.

Omega124 unless there is a better option.

rhawn, cause no one's voted for him yet.

civplayah's logic is good! Therefore, I vote for him, because no one has voted for him yet.

Fine then, choxorn.

I'm not the third person to vote for a person?

Yes but you are the third person in a chain of random votes.

Yes but you are the third person in a chain of random votes.

Well, if we count sprig's vote for aspie as non-random because he had a semi-intelligible reason for it (how do you know that aspie is on holiday BTW, sprig?) then the third random voter was actually Nictel...

...unless you don't consider my vote for you to be random. Is there a reason why I should be voting for you, kill fire? :mischief:

Good question Catharsis, and the answer is that every game the players lynch me in the first round, so any vote for me in the first round isn't really random anymore.

Following that logic,

I'm not going to be on again today, and I don't like being in a tie for most votes, so despite the risks inherent in being the third vote on a person, Unvote, Vote: Seon

The dancers spun between partners, laughing heavily and drinking more so. The person in the Red Dress was particularly popular, making acquaintance with Wilmer Dee and several other dancers. Her mood seemed to sour though with each new partner—it seemed they were not as happy as she was to be seen in public together. If anything, her partners soured more. Some were even overheard speaking of murder…

Elsewhere in the castle, more pairings were evident. The man in the peacock hat spoke in a furious voice to Keir Satchel but was drowned out by Satchel’s screams of anger. In stark contrast, the man in the Red Mask spoke quietly with the person in the Orange Mask.

Fresh from her third partner, Autolycus strolled into the center of the ballroom when she uttered a scream of terror cut short by the sound of a snapping bone. The dancers flocked to the dead body like ravens to get a good look at their comrade. Once their initial shock wore off, it became evident to the more observant that there was nothing at all in the vicinity she could have possibly tripped over—save the foot of one of the other dancers.

“Oh well” they reasoned “Not like she didn’t deserve to go anyway”
Tiana Regis aka Autolycus was innocent!
Also, I just realized I made a disproportionate amount of male characters so don’t be surprised if some of you turn gay ;)

It is now DAY 2
Day 3 in 49 hours
Vote and send me orders!

I don't get the Autolycus bandwagon, so I don't think the instigator, Nictel, is innoecnt.

God bless Random.org :D

That isn't fair! Seon is so random that random.org was obviously going to take his side. :p

I vote for civplayah, because during that whole 'random vote' phase, when he got a vote placed on him he instantly responded by changing his vote onto the person who voted for him (choxorn), which I believe is called an 'OMGUS' or 'Oh My God U Suck' vote on the mainstream mafia sites.

I still vote Seon, for he just barely survied.

I think that your logic is sound Catharsis, so I'll vote for civplayah.

Catharsis

Mafia usually make up random crap like that to get innocents dead.

Catharsis

Mafia usually make up random crap like that to get innocents dead.

Actually I think you will find that townies are usually the ones to do that.

The killing mentioned ravens and Catharsis has the bird avatar.

In other words, i got nothing. Soz..

choxorn

Catharsis for the bird thing.

Oh, that makes sense. Catharsis.

But, that was a lynch, not a mafia-kill... Or maybe it was a clue. I can't even tell if and how the mafia can kill us anyway, so it could be.

But, Nictel, I am in agreement with civplayah's reasoning about your vote for Autolycus, and if you're going to vote for me, you could at least give something in the way of a reason. Your one-word vote post is completely random.

Uh, guys, read the rules. No forced clues. :coffee:

and therefore Catharsis must be the mafia (?)

Just because Nictel gave no reasoning as to his vote, I'm changing my vote to him.

Just because Nictel gave no reasoning as to his vote, I'm changing my vote to him.

Your acting suspicious. ;)

Your acting suspicious. ;)

As are you. So we're agreed? I'll keep my eye on you and you keep your eye on me?

I'm just saying, your agreeing alot with Catharsis as well as aiding him like you know he is innocent or ... not innocent, despite:

No out of thread communication at all

hmm?

kill fire voted with Catharsis against me... And then when TLO voted Catharsis kill fire protected him. Plus, they're both posting a lot. Sounds suspicious.

Based on previos logical conclusions, Nictel.

kill fire voted with Catharsis against me... And then when TLO voted Catharsis kill fire protected him. Plus, they're both posting a lot. Sounds suspicious.

It's one of my common playing strategies. I stick with one person to vote with so that basically their voting power is doubled. It's not exactly helping me, but I figure until there are good clues to point me in the right direction, I might as well help get some people lynched.

I've never seen anyone do that before. That seems odd unless you know they're innocent.

I've never seen anyone do that before. That seems odd unless you know they're innocent.

Exactly, because I don't copy other people's tactics. Besides how is the random banwagoning you guys are doing any better?

Killfire stop it.

Stop what? I'm simply stating my intentions and answering the questions of others.

If catharsis is a big bad bird so are you. If he's innocent then you are the big bad bird.

Autolycus for voting Love.
How is this random? In fact I am voting on a random voter.

civplayah's logic is good! Therefore, I vote for him, because no one has voted for him yet.

I don't get the Autolycus bandwagon, so I don't think the instigator, Nictel, is innoecnt.
Since when do we lynch the instigator? I dunno but I can't remember a mafia game where a single vote lynches someone.

Based on previos logical conclusions, Nictel.

And there we have all three mafia. Really guys you make it far too easy.:scan:
I can't believe you even reacted to my obvious none serious vote. :lol:

So let's recap: you're trying to lynch me on the basis of a forced clue about ravens in a game with no forced clues that is based on a work of Edgar Allan Poe. That seems bizarre to me, but oh well. If you're not going to listen to reason then I will have to claim.

I am Kendric Johnson, and I am this game's protector. I can take aside one person each day and engage them in deep conversation, thus ensuring that they stay away from any of our number who carry the disease for that particular phase.

You may have seen my lovely red mask in yesterday's update, when I was chatting to a most interesting person in an orange mask. It certainly was nice talking to you, sprig.

Trust me, you're better off keeping me alive than lynching me over a coincidence. And for what it's worth, I change my vote from civplayah to Nictel, although this is just shameless self-preservation and I don't really understand why Nictel is being attacked, either. Civplayah's my top mafia suspect at the moment, for reasons already stated.

I think that no forced clues only means that the mafia don't have to send in clues with kills, and that real clues will be more subtly incorporated in write-ups, just like that ravens thing.

But i'll buy your protector story for now. Unvote catharsis, vote Civplayah. Random vote is random, sorry.

Nictel, do you honestly think I'd be the mafia twice in a row?

someone want to do a vote tally for me? I am at work and posting in secret :P

Nictel, do you honestly think I'd be the mafia twice in a row?

That's your defence? Things are just getting better. And yes, since these things usually go by roll of the dice, you could be mafia 6 times in a row and I would still vote for you the seventh time.

unvote; vote: Electric We have a winner !!!

How is this random? In fact I am voting on a random voter.


That wasn't random, but your vote on me was. I, too was voting on a random voter, not random voting myself, so your random vote on me was for random voting someone who was random voting someone who was random voting someone else. I think, it's sort of confusing.


And there we have all three mafia. Really guys you make it far too easy.:scan:
I can't believe you even reacted to my obvious none serious vote. :lol:

Lol wut? Why would civplayah and I vote in direct opposition to each other if we were both mafia? Also:

Nictel, do you honestly think I'd be the mafia twice in a row?

Not only you, but me as well. Seriously, and I was also mafia the time before that, and in sprig's MiniNOTW.

someone want to do a vote tally for me? I am at work and posting in secret :P

Sure:

Catharsis: 4 (TheLastOne36, Love, civplayah, Seon)
Nictel: 4 (choxorn, kill fire, electric926, Catharsis)
civplayah: 1 (Snerk)
Seon: 1 (Omega124)
electric926: 1 (sprig)
choxorn: 1 (Nictel)

Can Sprig confirm this?

for now atleast, Catharsis and civplayah

I don't see how choxorn, me, or electric have anything to do with a raven, Nictel. For now, my vote stays where it is.

Can Sprig confirm this?


Erm, sprig's not running the game, CCRunner is. :p

Erm, sprig's not running the game, CCRunner is. :p

Well Catharsis contacted Sprig appearentaly.

Oh, sorry, misinterpreted what you were trying to say, and I got confused myself for a minute.

Well Catharsis contacted Sprig appearentaly.

No I didn't contact sprig, private communication isn't allowed in this game. I protected sprig (that is, I sent a PM to CCRunner asking to do so) and then I was shown in the update talking to a person with an orange mask, which must surely mean that the orange-masked person is sprig. I don't know this for sure but it seems like the most likely option.

Sprig, could you confirm that you wear an orange mask?

I don't know about the block since I wasn't doing anything but yes I wear an orange mask.

Ok, based on Catharsis' argument civplayah appears to be one of the mafioso.

ok based on Catharsis's argument I think civplayah is scummy as well

Nictel: 4 (choxorn, kill fire, electric926, Catharsis)
civplayah: 4 (Snerk, TheLastOne36, rhawn, Seon)
Catharsis: 2 (Love, civplayah,)
Seon: 1 (Omega124)
electric926: 1 (sprig)
choxorn: 1 (Nictel)
3 hours to go. I believe this is the current tally, correct?

kk unvote; Vote:civplayah

unvote; vote:Catharsis

I am absolutley sure that Catharsis is the mafia. Please, kill him now. (I'm not sure why I no longer trust him, I just don't)

Okay, what? You switch your votes constantly to try to keep Catharsis alive before there was a good reason to, and now that there's a good reason to keep Catharsis alive, you vote for him without explanation? Your strategy, whatever the hell it is, is completely random and senseless.

Actaully, before I had no strategy, I was just screwing around. Now I have a reason. Maybe it's my lack of knowlage of Edgar Allen Poe, but I don't remember mention of a disease. Also, even if I just didn't pay attention, how do we know that his protector story is true? How do we know that he was not in fact INFECTING Sprig? And you didn't seem to mind my random voting until I voted for Catharsis. Is there something you're trying to hide?

Alright, FINE. Since kill fire refuses to leave me alone unless I vote for Catharsis, Unvote, Vote: Catharsis. You happy, kill fire?

I am. In my mind you have just proven that you're innocent.

We need one more vote for Catharsis. Do it before it's too late.

If I'm wrong about Catharsis, kill me next round.

civplayah: 5 (Snerk, TheLastOne36, rhawn, Seon, Sprig)
Catharsis: 4 (choxorn, kill fire, Love, civplayah,)
Nictel: 2 ( electric926, Catharsis)
Seon: 1 (Omega124)
choxorn: 1 (Nictel)
The round is over-- Civplayah has been lynched. Standby for writeup

Ah, sorry then. But none the less I stand firm. Catharsis is mafia.

I just want to say- when I turn up innocent- lynch Catharsis. And please refrain from lynching Choxorn, he is the least suspicious.

I am the man in the peacock hat. I think the reference of me and someone else yelling at each other was me and Choxorn voting for each other.

Catharsis, you won't get away with this.

Vote; Catharsis

given that there's only one vote, I'm extending the day for another 24 hours.

Edit: Nevermind, I see why there's so few votes. Sorry guys, my mistake. I got interrupted when I was writing the update but I thought I posted it the next morning. Guess not. If it's any comfort, this has basically been sitting in the quickreply box for two days now. Give me a second....

The dancers twirled and spun in a never-ending flurry of motion. Off to either side, stood two people, the man in the Purple Coat and Ryan Hall were aloof from both the party and each other. Neither was completely unsociable though each dancing with some few people before returning to the sidelines.

Manuel Lucky on the other hand, was the center of the party. Wearing a Peacock Hat, he strolled across the dance floor with the greatest of ease, making acquaintance with everybody he met. His favored partner though, seemed to be none other than one of the Jancis Siblings.

Elmer Jancis himself was in fact, in deep conversation in a man who’s distinguishing factors could not be seen from the angle at which he had situated himself. The two strode off into the moonlight. Elsewhere at the fringes, Tilda Jancis was seen walking alone with German Fernandez.

Back at the party, Manuel Lucky seemed to have vanished. All of a sudden, a giant ape burst into the room, screaming madly at the guests. Chains dangled at his wrists, clattering loudly with each motion of the fearsome arms. Suddenly, the rattling stopped—the chains were tangled in a lit chandelier. The apes struggle to free himself succeeded in that he freed something. Unfortunately for him, that something was the anchor holding the chandelier to the floor. Up and up he flew through the air, a horrible stench of burning fur issuing from his suit, and a sound that was anything but human radiating from his mouth. When the burning ceased, it was obvious to all that the ape was none other than their friend Manuel Lucky playing a prank on them
Civplayah was innocent!


It is now Day 3!
Day 4 in 48 hours.

Catharsis

Either kill fire knows something that i don't, or his PG is to kill catharsis. Does this game have PGs?
Anyway, if catharsis gets killed and turns out to be the protector, kill fire gets offed next day.

Although Catharsis seems a bit suspicious, I'm afraid I'm still more suspicious of Nictel. Aside from his random vote for me, his recent post stated his suspicions of me, civplayah, and electric based on votes. As civplayah has already been proven innocent, and I think I've done enough to prove my innocence already, it seems to me like he's not trying to figure out the mafia with his accusations, he's throwing names around at random with some connection to attract attention away from himself- exactly what he did in the last two NOTW's. In both of those, he was not innocent.

His repeated use of this tactic, and his posts in this thread leads me to conclude only one thing: Nictel is one of the mafia. Catharsis might be, but I'd rather go for the one I'm almost certain of now and Catharsis later.

Anyway, if catharsis gets killed and turns out to be the protector, kill fire gets offed next day.

That's the deal I'm making. If I'm wrong then you should kill me the next day.

Nictel then.

No wonder you keep dying, seeing the things you are certain of. :lol:;)
And I am deeply offended that you would think I would use the same tactic twice in a row. Tssk. Tssk.

Based on previous more logical conclusions Catharsis

Kill_fire, why are you 100% sure he is mafia?

I'm not.

Well what is your reasoning against him?

Well let's all vote nictel!

nictel I guess since catharsis is clean, so is rhawn for that matter.

I vote kill fire. He's trying to get Catharsis knocked out, for what? I think there's more than one side to this story, one which Kill Fire is hiding...

Oh come on! I'm even offering to have myself killed if I'm wrong! And sprig how do you know that Catharsis is clean?

Actually, there was no kill last night. So, unvote:Nictel I am curious as to who Catharsis blocked.

EDIT : doh !!!

Catharsis, i see no Kendric Johnson or Red mask in the write up. why?

Double Doh !!!

There is no night kills argh.... I think I have figured out what is going on.

So like somone has aids and is going around giving it to people and perhaps they win once everybody has aids? :confused:


:culture:Everybody has aids :culture:
:culture:aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids!:culture:

but on a serious note. is that whats happening?

Do we have to find the guy that is giving people the bad stuff? or just get rid or everybody that got given the bad stuff too ?

Because I have to be the odd one out, I say we lynch kill fire. Omega's reasoning seems to be the most logical, and I don't think that nictel is guilty anyway.

Oh I am going to laugh my ass off if you lynch me.

Apologies for my recent inactivity (in this and other threads, actually) - I've been swamped with revision for a particularly tricky examination.

Sprig: there seems to have been some confusion regarding my role. I'm a protector, not a roleblocker, and due to the aforementioned busy schedule I forgot to send in a protection order during the last phase, so the lack of kills is not my handiwork.

I vote for Nictel... ordinarily I'd at least try to check the veracity of choxorn's theory regarding his play in the last two NotWs, but it's late and I'm tired and I'll do it in the morning, stop bugging me. :p

WAIT A MINUTE.

I can't vote for choxorn because "he would never be a baddie three times in a row"
But you can all vote for me because I am "behaving like a baddie" and as such am in fact a baddie three times in a row?!

The Round is Over, Nictel has been lynched.
Nictel- Choxorn, TLO, Love, Sprig, Catharsis,
Catharsis- Snerk, Nictel
KillFire- Omega124, Electric

Standby for Write-Up

Status: Still working on it. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you.

Ba-Dum. Ba-Dum. The heart beat continued unabated. Marie Chile whirled around the dance floor. Ba-Dum. Ba-Dum. Nothing she did could distract the sound from tormenting her. She tried to focus on the other dancers, to see Kendric Johnson alone with the man in the Santa Hat. He tried to dance with the woman in the blue dress but nothing mattered but the beating of the heart. Ba-Dum. Ba-Dum.

Wilmer Dee had other problems. His mind was racing, trying to find a way to excuse himself politely. After dancing with several people, notable among them the person in the Raven Mask, and Keir Satchel, he had been bitten by a rather peculiar bug, one that appeared to be made of solid gold. No, bitten was not the right word. Infected. Tainted. Even now, he saw the swarms of bugs crawling over his skin. He scratched and scratched, but none released their deadly grip. In fact, the only thing that seemed to be coming off was his skin. Desperate now, he scratched harder but still the inexorable hive remained. Defiling. Corrupting. Suddenly the itching stopped and a wave of intense euphoria swept over him. And then there was nothing. Nictel collapsed to the ground, dead.

Nictel was Innocent!

Marie Chile breathed a sigh of relief. The heart had stopped, for the moment.

Before the other dancers even noticed the loss of their compatriot, Tilda Jancis hunched over. She let out a small cough—the observant among the party goers noticed a small speck of blood on her otherwise impeccable hankerchief. Before she could even stand, a second, larger cough came bringing with it an even larger speck of blood. She stood then, her glistening sweat visible on her brow. Red sweat. Blood red. With a final convulsive spasm, Sprig fell.

Sprig was Innocent!

All of a sudden, KillFire stood up. She put on her her Blue Dress, walked down to the docks, turned around and said 'Good day' to the nearby fisherman, then jumped into the water and drowned. The nobles were in shock at such a well, suicidal move. Then came a shout from above--

“Well we can’t bloody well let her go off alone now can we?” Calmly putting on his black coat, Aspie too, walked off the bridge.

KillFire and Aspie were both Innocent!
Lynched: Nictel
Killed by Red Death: Sprig
WoG: KillFire, Aspie

It is now Day 4
Day 5 in 72 hours

Nooooo

Why was killfire WoG'ed?

*rage*

I have a theory about who here is guilty, but I'm not going to reveal it because it will ruin the game. :D

As of now, I can't make a logical assumption of who is guilty, so I'll see the evidence given by other players first.

Why was killfire WoG'ed?Honestly, for a misunderstanding :(. It is not, however, a mistake

Having actually taken some time to read over the last few days' posts, some comments:

nictel I guess since catharsis is clean, so is rhawn for that matter.

From the look of things, sprig was this game's prophet, and he scanned both me and rhawn innocent (although the second one's not much good given that rhawn has been voluntarily perm-banned, which is a real shame by the way). So you can all feel free to stop voting for me now. It's okay, I accept your apologies. ;)

I feel suspicious of those among you that are claiming that you are less likely to be mafia, having been mafia in previous recent games. That's electric and also choxorn - I didn't realise that choxorn had done it until Nictel pointed it out. In comparison to how you both played in the last game when you were mafia, choxorn has been a bit more vocal, although to be honest in the last game he just didn't defend himself at all when he was accused, so that doesn't really prove anything about his innocence. Electric has acted quite similarly to how he did in Diamondeye's game.

Also, I'd quite like to ask TLO36 what he meant by this:

Good question Catharsis, and the answer is that every game the players lynch me in the first round, so any vote for me in the first round isn't really random anymore.Following that logic,

Unvote, Vote: Seon

I don't see any reason to vote for Seon based on what kill fire said there. If kf did not consider my vote to be random then the third voter was actually TLO himself. So why the vote for Seon, bearing in mind that Seon had already voted for you?

For now, my vote is on TheLastOne36.

Damn, the mafia must be happy about that update.

It was early game, everyone was throwing votes everywhere, it meant nothing at all.

And i'm actually surprised people have been ignoring me so far in this game. But you guys have my word that I am not mafia. I am Steve Fontaine and I wear a Green Coat btw, if that will help you peace togather everything.

I have yet to appear in any updates.

If BL isn't interested in taking over rhawn's part in this one, I'll take it. I don't think I really did or heard anything of note before random.org killed me.

I vote Love.

I continue my vote on Kill Fire.:deadhorse:

Take another look at the update ;)

Catharsis, TLO has a point. No one really had an idea who the mafia was, and I don't see how you can judge him on that. And just because I don't broadcast my thoughts for every vote doesn't make me any more guilty than anyone else1.

I vote for Catharsis.

I'm not convinced that Sprig was a prophet just because he claimed that Cath and Rhawn was innocent.

I also find it odd that Cath is still alive after outing himself as protector. That should make him a prime mafia target.

Not sure whom to vote for just now.

Vote on Omega124. He has not stated why he voted me.

Nictel was innocent? Damn. Although now, I have a new lead. Love, you have a point, Omega did not give any reason for this vote. In fact, he hasn't given much of a reason this entire game:

I vote Seon, he'll make a conspiracy to kill innocents sooner or later.

I still vote Seon, for he just barely survied.

I vote kill fire. He's trying to get Catharsis knocked out, for what? I think there's more than one side to this story, one which Kill Fire is hiding...

His first vote is forgivable for everyone else being random, and the third time he at least gave some explanation, but his votes still seem random. He's made zero posts in this thread except to make one of these votes or sign up, and he's keeping really quiet, just posting as little as possible to avoid WOG, and voting a little randomly each time, and never bothering to do anything else. He's basically just trying to deflect attention from himself.

So, Omega124, are you going to bother explaining anything you've done so far? Because if not, then I can only conclude you are the mafia.

TLO36

I'm not convinced that Sprig was a prophet just because he claimed that Cath and Rhawn was innocent.

I also find it odd that Cath is still alive after outing himself as protector. That should make him a prime mafia target.

Understandable concerns. Of course, I don't know for sure that this is what sprig meant, but can you think of another reason for him to suggest my innocence unequivocally at the time when I looked most guilty to so many of you? The only reasons I can think of are (a) he's been prophetin' or (b) he's my mafia buddy, and suggestion (b) was sorta torpedoed when he died and turned up innocent.

As for the second point, well, I suppose I serve as a pretty good distraction, given that I end up having to dig myself out of a hole every time I open my mouth. I'm only claiming to be innocent, not that I've been in any way helpful to the innocent cause. ;) Perhaps electric is right, and it's better to not vomit your opinions all over the thread at every opportunity, but God help me, I just can't play that way, no matter how many times it almost gets me killed. (see: Snowblind)

Choxorn raises a decent concern about Omega124. Better than any of the stuff I suggested, anyway.

As for the second point, well, I suppose I serve as a pretty good distraction, given that I end up having to dig myself out of a hole every time I open my mouth. I'm only claiming to be innocent, not that I've been in any way helpful to the innocent cause

Funny, that's probably the only reason I am still alive. :lol:

I don't think Omega is the mafia, at this stage of the game Omega will be a wasted lynch most likely, going off the list, I think Choxorn and/or Love are the most likely suspects. (Unless I missed any reason against them being so)

So Choxorn

Also who is going to replace Rhawn?

I would request to play rhawn as i just started getting into this game. but unfortuantly I can not as i know to much. Even figured out who the mafia was before I died as well :(

I'm still happy to pick it up. I certainly didn't learn too much.

As with most no forced clues mafia games, i've no idea who the mafiosi are. But i don't think it's Omega, i just think he's lazy (like me). Also, if he was scummy the mafia would have started a seperate bandwagon by now.

Catharsis amd Choxorn seem plausible. But really i dunno.

If it's alright with everyone, Autolycus will get Rhawn's role at the update.

Choxorn's avatar is a zombie. Zombies are caused by parasites or viruses or germs. People here die because of germs. Coincedance? I think not.

If there's no forced clues, then my avatar relating to the way people die is irrelevant. And besides, CCRunner probably picked that at the start.

Why exactly am I a suspect, anyway?

Because your head looks like a watermelon. :p

Uh, CCRunner, are you going to update any time soon? I need to know which one of us is dead. :p

A large black cat sat on the farthest wall—black but for a single patch of white fur covering the chest. Opposite it, staring into the cat’s single eye stood Maria Chile. To the dancers, the cat seemed normal, friendly even. But to her, the cat was a demon. Suddenly the formless splotch of white fur began to change before Chile’s very eyes. Staring back at her was the shape of the gallows she knew she deserved. A wordless cry formed on her lips as she backed away in horror. Then to the surprise of those around her, especially Kendric Johnson, she flung herself off the roof.

Omega124 was carrying the Red Death!

Startled by their friends sudden descent into madness but unsure what it meant, the party goers returned to the ball. Steve Fontaine was seen collaborating with Elmer Jancis; about what though, nobody could tell. Perhaps it had something to do with the outlandish purple coat somebody was wearing? Jayden Hadel on the other hand, had no such reservations about making his thoughts known.

“This man is infected!” he cried “Hurry, we must hold him down so I may save him!”

“Get away from me you fool” came the frantic reply.

“This is for your own good! No harm can come from this medicine to one such as yourself”

The dancers, eager to thwart the plans of the Red Death obliged the request of the doctor and held down Satchel while the syringe was being prepared. Carefully, Hadel injected the antidote into the body of the still resisting Satchel.

“You fool! You’ve murdered me!” With a final gasp of breath, Keir Satchel breathed his last.

Choxorn was carrying the Red Death!

“I must say doctor, congratulations on a job well done. You’ve succeeded where everyone else has failed”

“Thank you my friend (Kendric Johnson)”.

The dancers returned to their dancing confident in their future.
Love- Omega124
Catharsis- Electric
Omega124- Love, Choxorn, Catharsis, Random.Org
Choxorn- TLO, Snerk, Seon

Autolycus has taken over for Rhawn.

Nice work, guys. I think TLO and Catharsis are innocent. Beyond that, I'm really not sure. I think it is one of the folks who voted for Omega or Choxorn this last time, so I'm going to say for the moment that Snerk has to go.

In the afternoon I'll read through the entire thread and try to assess things, but for now, to keep options open, Seon

What was that about not being mafia four times in a row? Yeah, I'll be quiet.

So wait, does carrying the red death mean that they were mafia? I forget..

Anyway, it's defnitely Autolycus.

Red death= Mafia.

I'm thinking that maybe whoever is Jayden Hadel should claim the role. I'd guess that we don't have more than one or two plague-bearers left, and if there's a disagreement, we'll know that one of those who claims to be him is a plague-bearer. Thoughts?

I still think that Catharsis is responsible. I still don't trust his logic.

Well, electric, I think I've given all the reasoning I can to try and persuade you of my innocence - if it's still not enough then I'm obviously not going to be able to. :)

I will vote for electric926 this round, not because he voted for me, but because his playstyle throughout this game has been sort of similar to Omega's - we did already dismiss this, but I'm not sure what to make of the previous phase's voting, so best to stick with what you know. Character estimation.

I can't believe it, I wrote a huge reply covering every single detail in the game, then I had a blackout and Firefox didn't save it.

Anyway, the only thing I remember of it is that at the beggining Rhawn/Autolycus voted for Omega214 for no real reason, most likely to unassociate himself with him.

Chavez might have just cost us the game. :mad:

Here we go again. Will I ever survive my first day as a character in this mafia game? It looks like I'm going to have to vote for electric926 to give myself a chance of survival. I think it's more likely to be one of seon, snerk or TLO, but with no votes on either of them at the moment, I'm voting for electric to tie the voting up.

Evidence against others came later on, but that damn blackout! :mad:

I don't think lynching electric is a good idea. Just a hunch.

We need everybody to role reveal right now.

I went through the thread already so I have an idea who is innocent and who isn't.

(Also, what about those two who were WOG'ed? You didn't tell us who they were other then innocent GM)

My name is German Fernandez, and I wear a Santa Hat. Who are you, TLO?

Let me just get this out here. I AM NOT THE MAFIA.

You'll regret it if I get lynched, as my yellow mask does not conceal a murderer.

You know my details already. Kendric Johnson, red mask.

I'm Elmer Jancis, blue mask, innocent.

Since by my count there's only three votes(?) I'll extend the phase another 24 hours.

sorry if my count is off, I just switched skins and it's hard to tell bold from normal in Black CFC

Five, actually:

So wait, does carrying the red death mean that they were mafia? I forget..

And there's only seven players left.

Ok. Electric. Let's make that 6 voters

I'm warning you all, I'm not the mafia. I'll have my image macro ready.

:popcorn:

It was midnight in the castle, and a dreary one at that. The primary focus of all of the dancers seemed to have shifted from a party to escape the influence of the Red Death into a mistake that would be repeated nevermore. Woody Merit was especially distraught. He was seen by Kendric Johnson, the man in the santa hat, and Jayden Hadel talking to a bust of Pallas Athena, a behavior all three saw as extremely odd.

The man in the Raven Mask found watching him oddly unamusing, and wandered off alone for several hours with Elmer Jancis. The two returned to the party just in time to see Woody Merit hurl himself off of the balcony to face his doom.

Electric 926 was innocent!

In other news, I'm off to take the SAT in less than 12 hours! Wish me luck!

Good luck Runner, you'll ace it!

good luck indeed.

Good luck CCRunner!
I accuse TLO36 of being the man in the Raven Mask, and therefore none other than the Red Death himself! There are several references in this write-up and the last to "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, including the bust of Pallas Athena and the phrase "nevermore". I think the three who voted for electric are the three who he was seen by, and the one who went off with Elmer Jancis corresponds to the one who voted the same way as him. Snerk says he's Elmer Jancis, so that makes TLO Raven Mask.
Backing this up is that when Nictel died, it said he danced with Keir Satchel and the man in the Raven Mask, which means they both voted for him in my theory, which choxorn (Keir Satchel) and TLO did.
When civplayah died, it listed Elmer Jancis (snerk), a man whose features could not be seen (Red Death, TLO) German Fernandez(Rhawn/me) and Tilda Jancis(Sprig)
At the very first lynch, the theme of ravens was stated when you all swarmed about the first me's corpse like ravens. Kill the man in the Raven Mask, kill TLO36.
Oh, yes, TLO claimed to be Steve Fontaine with a green coat, earlier. Steve's still not shown up in a write-up. Kinda strange when he's been one of those voting for the loser in most of the lynches.

If TLO possess the red death as you say, he has to die.

There is a problem with your theory.

I am Steve Fontaine wit a Green Coat. I appeared in the last writeup where I was scanned by Catharsis.

Ask Catharsis himself, Out of all of us, only me and Catharsis are proven innocents as shown by the write up.

And I could not have lied about being Steve, because I said that I was him BEFORE that writeup and BEFORE Catharsis scanned me.

...eh?

I'm sorry TLO, that's all complete hogwash.

First off, I don't 'scan' anyone. I'm not a prophet. I'm a protector. Being seen near me in the update doesn't prove you innocent at all - it only proves that you haven't been coughed all over during the interturn. If someone I protect is guilty, I'm none the wiser.

Secondly, I didn't protect you last night; in fact, I have never protected you. My protectee last night was Autolycus, given that I'm pretty much 100% sure of his innocence (because he's rhawn, sprig was a prophet, yada yada yada).

And thirdly, protection or no, I've never been seen with you in any of the updates. While I concede that Auto is wrong about Steve Fontaine never appearing in an update (he was in the one where Omega and choxorn got killed, although there has been no mention of a green coat) your only action was to chat to Elmer Jancis, which makes sense since you and Snerk both voted for choxorn in that round. I was in that update too, but never got anywhere near you.

That is one heck of a Hail Mary pass, TheLastOne36. I just don't understand it. Seriously, show me where I'm wrong, because that third point is such an obvious lie that I'm starting to think that I've misunderstood it. :dubious:

(BTW good luck on your SAT, CCRunner!)

I'm not at all convinced it's TLO, too much speculation, but for now he does seem like the best bet.

BTW, if anybody cares I kicked ass on the SAT, especially the essay. I used a Gilligan's Island theme :p

BTW, if anybody cares I kicked ass on the SAT, especially the essay. I used a Gilligan's Island theme :p

Congrats on a job well done! :D

:banana: :banana:

You know if you guys kill me you are basically handing the game over to the mafia?

Catharsis, I now understand your ability and the update better, but trust me, I am NOT mafia!

It is a huge mistake voting me, If the light doesn't go out again I'll make a huge post about the whole game and figure out who is doing this. Although I am sure the people that have bandwaggoned me are the mafia, taking the chance to kill an innocent.

I only know that Me, Catharsis and Autolycus are innocent, but by checking the votes, I am sure that we can find a mafia.

What we need everybody to do though is to role reveal now, or we lose this game. (And please, check through every single update before lynching me)

edit: I'm probably going to get a blackout in the next 20 or so minutes, so I'll make this post at around 11 pm my time.

OK, I need Elmer Jancis and Jaden Haydel to reveal themselves, then I can piece togather who is everybody, and use voting history to determine who is mafia.

An interesting point is on the day Choxorn and Omega died, Omega voted for Love, making me think that Love is innocent.

edit: Sorry, Snerk, did not see you claim to be Elmer)

Well let's sort things out,

First we need to identify everybody, I am Steve Fontaine, and if you don't believe me, check out this post of mine on the second page. Link (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=8791801&postcount=29). I posted that long before any of the recent accusations, or before I publically role revealed.

Ok, I will now go through every update in short:

Update 1

Red Dress was popular, making acquatences with Wilmer Dee and several others. Her mood seem to sour with each new partner.
Man in Peacock hat(Civplayah) was angry at Keir Satchel.
Red Mask spoke quietly to Orange Mask
Tiana Regis(Autolycus) lynched. Innocent.

Update 2

"Purple Coat and Ryan Hall were aloof from both the party and each other. Neither was completely unsociable though each dancing with some few people before returning to the sidelines."
Manuel Lucky (Civplayah) was dancing with people in particular one of the Jancis siblings.
Elmer Jancis(snerk) was at conversation with a man who can not be seen.
Tilda Jancis walking alone with German Fernandez
Manuel Lucky (Civplayah) lynched, Innocent

Update 3:

Maria Chile(Omega)'s sound of her heart beating was tormenting her, she danced with the Blue Dress.
Kendric Johnson(Catharsis) alone with the man with the Santa Hat
Wilmer Dee(Nictel) lynched. Raven Mask and Keir Satchel(Choxorn) were there.
Marie Chile(Omega)'s heart stopped.
Tilda Jancis(Sprig) was killed by mafia. Sprig was Innocent
Kill Fire and Aspie wered WOG'd, Kill Fire had Blue dress and Aspie Black Coat. Both were Innocent.

CCRunner, you did not tell us who were Kill Fire or Aspie.

Update 4:

Maria Chile (Omega) flung herself off the roof(lynch). Omega was MAFIA. This was surprising to Kendric Johnson(Catharsis)
Steve Fontaine(TLO) was with Elmer Jancis(Snerk), possibly talking about the Purple Coat.
Jayden Hadel, a doctor of some kind, found Keir Satchel(Choxorn) with the red death and attacked him. Keir Satchel was killed and he was MAFIA
Kendric Johnson(Catharsis) Congratulated him.

Update 5:

Woody Merit was espiecially distraught (???), he was seen by Kendric Johnson, man in Santa Hat, and Jayden Hadel.
Raven Mask walked out with Elmer Jancis(Snerk), only to return to see the Woody Merit hurl himself out of the balcony. Woody Merit(Electric 926) was Innocent

Ok, now let's look at voting history:

Day One:

Sprig(Tilda Jancis, Innocent) votes for Aspie
Catharsis(Kendric Johnson, Innocent) votes for Killfire
Autolycus(Tiana Regis, Innocent) votes for Love
Nictel(Wilmer Dee, Innocent) votes for Autolycus
TLO(Steve Fontaine, Innocent) votes for Autolycus
Seon(???) votes for TLO
Electric926(Woody Merit, Innocent) votes for Snerk
Killfire(???) votes for TLO
Love(???) votes for Autolycus
Omega124(MAFIA) votes for Seon
rhawn/autolycus (???) votes for Omega124
civplayah (Manuel Lucky, Innocent) votse for rhawn/autolycus
choxorn (MAFIA) votes for Civplayah
civplayah (manuel lucky, Innocent) changes vote to Choxorn
TLO (Steve Fontaine, Innocent) changes vote to Seon
Autolycus(Tiana Regis, Innocent) changes vote to Seon
Sprig(Tilda Jancis, Innocent) changes vote to Autolycus

and the tally:
Apsie –
KillFire- Catharsis
Love—
Autolycus—Nictel, Love, Sprig, Random.org
Nictel—
TLO—Seon, KillFire
Snerk—Electric
Seon—Omega124, TLO, Autolycus
Omega124—rhawn
Rhawn—
Civplayah—Choxorn
Choxorn-- civplayah

Observations:
"The man in the peacock(civplayah, Innocent) hat spoke in a furious voice to Keir Satchel(choxorn, Mafia but was drowned out by Satchel’s screams of anger."

They voted for each other.

"The person in the Red Dress was particularly popular, making acquaintance with Wilmer Dee(Nictel) and several other dancers."

This probably means that Autolycus(Tianna Regis, Innocent) carried a red dress.

Omega124 started a bandwaggon on Seon. (This meaning Seon is innocent?)
Day 2:

Civplayah(Manuel Lucky, Innocent) votes Nictel
Catharsis(Kendric Johnson, Innocent) votes Civplayah
Omega124(MAFIA) votes Seon
Killfire(???, Blue Dress, Innocent) votes civplayah
TLO (Steve Fontaine, Innocent) votes Catharsis
Snerk (Elmer Jancis) votes Catharsis
Nictel (Wilmer Dee, Innocent) votes Choxorn
Love (???) votes Catharsis
civplayah(Manuel Lucky, innocent) changes vote to Catharsis
Choxorn(MAFIA) votes Nictel
Seon(???) votes Catharsis
Killfire(???, Blue Dress, Innocent) changes vote to Nictel
electric926(woody merit, Innocent) votes Nictel
Sprig(Tilda Jancis, innocent) votes Killfire
Snerk(Elmer Jancis) changes vote to Civplayah
Sprig(Tilda Jancis, innocent) changes vote to electric926
TLO(Steve Fontaine, Innocent) changes vote to civplayah
rhawn/autolycus(???) changes vote to civplayah
Seon(???) changes vote to civplayah
Sprig(Tilda Jancis, Innocent) changes vote to Civplayah
killfire(???,blue dress, innocent) changes vote to Catharsis
choxorn(MAFIA) changes vote to Catharsis

tally:
civplayah: 5 (Snerk, TheLastOne36, rhawn, Seon, Sprig)
Catharsis: 4 (choxorn, kill fire, Love, civplayah,)
Nictel: 2 ( electric926, Catharsis)
Seon: 1 (Omega124)
choxorn: 1 (Nictel)

Observations:

Ryan Hall appears, nobody has claimed him yet.

I believe the purple coat might have been choxorn's alias, due to reasons from later updates.

"Manuel Lucky on the other hand, was the center of the party. Wearing a Peacock Hat, he strolled across the dance floor with the greatest of ease, making acquaintance with everybody he met. His favored partner though, seemed to be none other than one of the Jancis Siblings."

Jancis sibling refers to Sprig.

"Elmer Jancis himself was in fact, in deep conversation in a man who’s distinguishing factors could not be seen from the angle at which he had situated himself."

Catharsis did you scan him?

"Tilda Jancis was seen walking alone with German Fernandez."

German Fernandes appears here, Sprig must have scanned him. But who did he scan? Sprig didn't make any accusation the next day, meaning he probably showed up innocent. German Fernandez, please reeal yourself to.

Day 3:

Snerk(Elmer Jancis) votes Catharsis
choxorn(MAFIA) votes Nictel
TLO(Steve Fontaine, Innocent) votes Nictel
Nictel(Wilmer Dee, Innocent) votes Catharsis
Love(???) votes Nictel
Sprig (Tilda Jancis, Innocent) votes Nictel
Omega214(MAFIA) votse killfire
Sprig(Tilda Jancis, Innocent) unvotes, and Abstains
Electric 926(Woody Merit, Innocent) votes killfire
Catharsis (Kendric Johnson, Innocent) votes Nictel

Nictel- Choxorn, TLO, Love, Sprig, Catharsis
Catharsis- Snerk, Nictel
KillFire- Omega124, Electric

observations:
"Kendric Johnson alone with the man in the Santa Hat"
So Catharsis, who is the Santa Hat man?

"He tried to dance with the woman in the blue dress but nothing mattered but the beating of the heart. Ba-Dum. Ba-Dum."
Marie Chile(Omega) voted for killfire (blue dress)

"Wilmer Dee had other problems. His mind was racing, trying to find a way to excuse himself politely. After dancing with several people, notable among them the person in the Raven Mask, and Keir Satchel"

Well we just found our raven mask.

Nictel- Choxorn, TLO, Love, Sprig, Catharsis

OR,

Wilmer Dee- Keir Satchel, Steve Fontaine, Raven mask, Tilda Jancis, Kendric Johnson

Love is our Raven Mask.

Sprig was killed in this update to, likely due to meta gaming.

Kill Fire and Aspie WOG'd.

Day 4:

Catharsis(Kendric Johnson, Innocent) votes TLO
Omega214(MAFIA) votes Love
electric926(Woody Merit, Innocent) votes Catharsis
Love (???) votes Omega214
Choxorn (MAFIA) votes Omega214
Catharsis(Kendric Johnson, Innocent) changes vote to Omega214
TLO(Steve Fontaine, Innocent) votes Choxorn
Snerk(Elmer Jancis) votes Choxorn
Seon (???) votes Choxorn

Love- Omega124
Catharsis- Electric
Omega124- Love, Choxorn, Catharsis, Random.Org
Choxorn- TLO, Snerk, Seon

observations:
If I was mafia, I would not start a Choxorn bandwaggon when there is a Omega bandwaggon there already, Omega votes for Love, I said last post that it could mean Love is innocent, but it could also very clearly mean he is mafia.

Choxorn voted Omega to erase suspicion. If Love is mafia, he did the same thing.

"Steve Fontaine was seen collaborating with Elmer Jancis; about what though, nobody could tell. Perhaps it had something to do with the outlandish purple coat somebody was wearing?"

Both me, and Snerk voted for Choxorn. Choxorn must have had a Purple Coat then.

Day 5:
Rhawn/Autolycus (???) votes for Snerk
Snerk(Elmer Jancis) votes for Rhawn/Autolycus
electric926(Woody Merit, Innocent) votes for Catharsis
Catharsis(Kendric Johnson, Innocent) votes for electric926
TLO(Steve Fontaine, Innocent) votes for rhawn/autolycus
Rhawn/Autolycus (???) votes for electric926

ahh, here Autolycus claims to be German Fernandez. Good. He is innocent. :)

Love(???) votes Electric926

observations:

"He was seen by Kendric Johnson, the man in the santa hat, and Jayden Hadel talking to a bust of Pallas Athena, a behavior all three saw as extremely odd.

The man in the Raven Mask found watching him oddly unamusing, and wandered off alone for several hours with Elmer Jancis. The two returned to the party just in time to see Woody Merit hurl himself off of the balcony to face his doom"

Now this makes things really confusing. Catharsis, rhawn/autolycus and Love vote for electric926. While the raven mask appears with Snerk, although last round we proved that Love was the raven mask.

Day 6:

Well everyone decides to bandwaggon me.

I am STEVE FONTAINE! I wear a GREEN COAT!

If you kill me you are basically handing the game over to the mafia.

Here is what I have at the end of all this post.

Nictel - Wilmer Dee - Innocent
civplayah - Manuel Lucky - Peacock Hat -Innocent
choxorn - Keir Satchel - Purple Coat MAFIA
autolycus - Tiana Regis - Red Dress - Innocent
aspie - ??? - Black Coat - Innocent
love
snerk - Elmer Jancis - Blue Mask - Probably Innocent
KillFire - ??? - Blue Dress - Innocent
electric926 - Woody Merit - Innocent
Catharsis - Kendric Johnson - ??? - Innocent(I am fairly sure he is.) - Protector
rhawnAutolycus - German Fernandez - santa hat - Innocent
seon
sprig - Tilda Jancis - Innocent
TheLastOne36 - Steve Fontaine - Green Coat - Innocent
Omega124 - Maria Chile - MAFIA

The Mafia HAS to be Love or Seon, through process of elimination. Love is our Raven mask(although the last update makes things seem confusing, it might actually be seon). I think we can find a lyer by forcing Seon and Love to reveal themselves, as one of them is mafia, the other is Jayden Hadel.

So it seems our course of action is clear, because we don't want to lynch Jayden Hadel. Your argument for you being innocent is strong, TLO, but I'm pretty sure that indescernible features and raven mask are one and the same, in which case, you would have to be raven mask, and the fact remains that if snerk is Elmer Jancis, you would be raven mask in the last update. Therefore, we lynch you and whoever of seon and Love is jayden hadel takes out the other, if possible.

But I am not the raven mask. :lol: I wear a green coat for god sake! (Unless CCRunner made a mistake when he sent my my pm ???)

Before you lynch me, I suggest you force Seon and Love to speak. One of them has to to lie.

Your earlier mention of the green coat and steve fontaine does prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that you must know who steve fontaine is and he must be on your side. The third person who voted for choxorn was seon. If seon is on your team, but less important than you, i.e. if,as in the story, you are the Red Death personified (and so without discernible features), while he is merely a carrier infected with it, every thing checks out. He handed you his role for precisely this purpose of giving you a solid cover. Love's vote last round and the write-up shows that he must be Jayden Hadel. I don't know if we win with your death, or if we'll have to kill Seon too, but it's clear that you're a higher priority.

Fine, I'll get my "Told you so" Picture ready.

Well whatever, I already handed the innocence the tools to win this game.

You people are going to die. ;)

Catharsis, can you list who you've protected and when?

So, when's the update?

I'm working on it. This is the last update so it's taking a bit longer

Everyone knew it would be their final night in the confines of the castle but none could say whether that was for better or for worse. Kendric Johnson was seen confiding in Elmer Jancis up on the balcony. All of a sudden, Jayden Hadel blurted out “He’s Infected! Hold him down for me!”

The dancers swarmed to their feet like a million tiny locusts and quickly accosted Ryan Hall. They held him down until their doctor, the man in the Raven Mask, reached them.

“Huh? What!? I have no idea what’s going on here!” exclaimed the man in the Orange Coat “Um… cure me I guess” Dr. Love injected Seon with the antidote eagerly, hoping to see another of their persecutors fall dead. Seon had no visible reaction though, a fact that visibly disappointed the good doctor.

“Oh, well then that was anti-climatic. At least he’s cured now” said Love.

------------------------

“You! This is all your fault!”

The dancers rounded on Steve Fontaine as one, certain that they had found their murderer. The man in the green coat ran as far away as fast as he could, but nothing could save him from the unerring fury of the mob. He was quickly accosted, his arms held behind his back by German Fernandez and Jayden Hadel.

The two found themselves reeling backwards, blood dripping down their brows. As one, they fell into the violent spasms of agony characteristic of the Red Death. Collapsing together, they died.

Love and Autolycus were innocent

The four remaining dancers moved closer, hoping to get a better glimpse of what had killed their friends, when the man in the Blue Mask too began to shake. His death was quick and painful.

Snerk was innocent!

“Surely you two recognize that I’m not the one killing us! Please, help me!” screamed Steve Fontaine.

“But of course you’re not the Red Death” Drawled a slow voice with a british accent “I am” With that, Catharsis pushed TheLastOne36 off of the top of the tower and sent him plummeting to his doom.

TheLastOne36 was innocent.

Seon could feel his heart racing, he could feel the sweat dripping from every pore of his body.
“Um…. What? Please tell me I heard wro—“ Seon was cut off by his own death.

And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death hold illimitable dominion over all.
MAFIA VICTORY

Special Roles:

Sprig: Nurse, could tell if somebody was infected
Love: Doctor, a vigilante that cured players who were infected instead of killing them
Love and Sprig were allowed to talk to each other as well
Aspie (:mad:): Roleblocker/prophet. Would roleblock sprig and love only, didn't know he was a prophet too

Catharsis: Could infect people
Choxorn and Omega: latent carriers of the red death.

Resistance was the number of phases a player would survive after being infected. Some, like Snerk, had a definite advantage over others.

Yay! We won! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! :mwaha:

Let me just say this: Stupid Innocents. :p

damn

When sprig died i got the totally rad ability to both scan AND heal. Which was awesome.

But damn.

Oh sweet, illimitable dominion over all. I could do a thing or two with that...

Good game everyone, thanks for the excellent thrill ride, CCRunner, and also thanks to choxorn and Omega for being my mafia partners. Omega, thanks for not complaining when we both ganged up on you, that was a really poopy thing to do really (but it backfired on us, so you get the last laugh :lol:). Choxorn, I would have died on Phase 3 for sure had it not been for your excellent post that got Nictel killed. Nice work.

Remember to always listen to kill fire in future. ;)

(I hardly ever win as mafia! I'm so thrilled! :D)

Well now, if you had listened to me in the first place this whole disaster could have been avoided.

And if you had followed the rules and not continually talked to/threatened me IRL, you wouldn't have known any of that and the disaster would have still happened. :p

Ah yes, my post condemning Nictel. Such a wonderful pile of BS designed to direct attention away from Catharsis. I'm just lucky he's so easy to lynch. :p I think I served my purpose of distracting attention from Catharsis well.

As to why we bandwagoned Omega, well, I noticed at the time that there were 4 votes on 4 seperate people, one on Catharsis. I coudn't find a good reason to bandwagon anybody else, and we needed to get people's attention away from Catharsis. And it's not like Omega was helping us much with his random, unexplained voting and little activity, or his refusal to communicate in our quicktopic thread or do much in our PM's to him. Basically, it was kill the nearly-useless Omega to save the all-important Catharsis. I actually thought it would be easy given how he was acting. But no, you bandwagoned me instead and random.org and Love got both of us killed. :cry:

:mwaha:

Damnit! I changed my scan from catharsis to choxorn, which got the mafia anyway... but I later thought that cat was innocent :gripe:

stupid me.

Damn, i almost got Catharsis in the beginning with that bird thing.

I remained very suspicious towards Cath after killfire and Civplayah went out of their way to accuse him. Even more so when Cath claimed to be a protecter yet not getting killed my the mafia. But tbh the game kept me guessing till the end.

Great game Runner! Well played mafia!

Was not expecting that. :lol:

Good game to the mafia, and espiecially Catharsis.

Catharsis

choxorn

:p:D


Not only you, but me as well. Seriously, and I was also mafia the time before that, and in sprig's MiniNOTW.

I vote for Nictel... ordinarily I'd at least try to check the veracity of choxorn's theory regarding his play in the last two NotWs, but it's late and I'm tired and I'll do it in the morning, stop bugging me. :p

WAIT A MINUTE.

I can't vote for choxorn because "he would never be a baddie three times in a row"
But you can all vote for me because I am "behaving like a baddie" and as such am in fact a baddie three times in a row?!

I can't believe none of you even remotely caught on to that.


Anyway great job choxorn lynching me with my own accusation: "I can't be mafia three times in a row but you can!" :lol:

Well played and great game! :D

Good game to the mafia! Love, why didn't you speak up that you were Jayden Hadel and Raven Mask? My whole analysis was predicated on the idea that Raven Mask was the baddie, if you look at it.
So all we actually had this game was voting patterns and the Red Mask to go on?

Pretty much, although while the first reference to the raven was completely accidental, the second was there to point towards Catharsis more, since you guys had almost nailed him the first time :)

Also, I can't say I expected Catharsis to just claim an ability like that. He got very lucky that aspie wasn't active in that since I'm sure two roleblockers would have raised some eyebrows :p

Anyway great job choxorn lynching me with my own accusation: "I can't be mafia three times in a row but you can!" :lol:


Yeah, you can be the mafia twenty times in a row. :p

Well speaking up and say that i was a doctor and the biggest enemy to the mafia would get them on my throat big time. I probably would have said something if you guys were about to lynch a known innocent...

I'd quite like to post the quicktopic, but would like choxorn's permission to do so. If he agrees then he can do it. (Don't need Omega's, he never posted on there.)

Some comments:

And it's not like Omega was helping us much with his random, unexplained voting and little activity, or his refusal to communicate in our quicktopic thread or do much in our PM's to him.

Y'know, I think Omega might well have worked stuff out that we hadn't, but was keeping very quiet about it (because 'QuickTopic is for squares' of course - that was one of the weirdest PMs I've ever received). Our original plan for the endgame was to under no circumstances accuse Love, because if I died (which I was expecting to) people could link Love to the 'Telltale Heart' reference in the same way that they linked me to 'The Raven', so we needed him kept alive.

Naturally, Omega accuses Love straight away. But it turns out that Love was the most threatening character in the endgame, and the planned bandwagon on Omega forced us to infect Love instead of our planned infection (Seon), so he really helped us out there, it turns out. He's probably from the future or something.

Even more so when Cath claimed to be a protecter yet not getting killed my the mafia.

"Oh really, that makes me suspicious, does it? Take a look around you, Snerk, and tell me how many people have been nightkilled so far. We aren't dealing with a standard mafia enemy here, Snerk, and you know that very well, don't you! I know it 'cause I can count the number of night kills on one finger. *raises middle finger at Snerk*"

That's what I would've said. That would have definitely got me killed. :lol:

:p:D

You had us scrambling to get rid of you when you voted for choxorn without explanation. We assumed that the man in the peacock hat shouting at Keir Satchel in the first update was a prophet who had scanned chox, and were on the lookout for anyone who voted for him - hence our desperate attempts to get you lynched and out of the way, although the planned second-day lynch didn't work out because I stupidly accused civplayah (who turned out to be the peacock-hat man, so all's well that ends well).

So all we actually had this game was voting patterns and the Red Mask to go on?

Well, there were three prophets (although one was inactive). And the red mask was a pretty big clue, I thought. Red mask, Masque of the Red Death, red blood on sprig's face when he died - all clues that I was really afraid someone would eventually pick up on.

Also, I can't say I expected Catharsis to just claim an ability like that. He got very lucky that aspie wasn't active in that since I'm sure two roleblockers would have raised some eyebrows :p

I wasn't claiming roleblocker dangit! That's two people who've said I claimed roleblocker to add to one who said I claimed prophet... what I was claiming was doctor. But I was tiptoeing around the word doctor because in a game where the enemy is a disease, there was bound to be one of some description somewhere (and there was - Love). Also I claimed doctor in the last game, too, truthfully that time, but since people were being lynched for claiming that they couldn't be mafia twice in a row, it wouldn't have been wise to bring that up.

The ability claim was the only thing I could have done to keep Team Red Death in the game. I'd already tried to shrug off the accusations (because they were mostly based on the raven thing, which was 'raven' mad) and even used that coffee smiley, but people weren't biting. And I wasn't going to leave choxorn and Omega to survive, like, eight straight lynchvotes without a kill ability.

BTW this is the first time I've claimed a false ability. Even in ATPG's Monty Python mafia, where I was a serial killer, the ability I claimed was correct ('unkillable', not 'serial killer', I'm not that stupid). It's tiring and unpleasant and I hope not to have to do it again for some time.

Well speaking up and say that i was a doctor and the biggest enemy to the mafia would get them on my throat big time. I probably would have said something if you guys were about to lynch a known innocent...

We had already infected you by that time. :mwaha:

But i'll buy your protector story for now. Unvote catharsis, vote Civplayah. Random vote is random, sorry.
/facepalm
This tipped the tally from Catharsis to Civplayah

Catharsis

Either kill fire knows something that i don't, or his PG is to kill catharsis. Does this game have PGs?
Anyway, if catharsis gets killed and turns out to be the protector, kill fire gets offed next day.
Mental note: Trust killfire. :p


..Catharsis and Choxorn seem plausible. But really i dunno.
More mental note: Listen to gut feeling.


"Oh really, that makes me suspicious, does it? Take a look around you, Snerk, and tell me how many people have been nightkilled so far. We aren't dealing with a standard mafia enemy here, Snerk, and you know that very well, don't you! I know it 'cause I can count the number of night kills on one finger.[/I]"

Heh, TBH i was very lazy in this game and i never got around to figure out how the mafia/night killing worked in this game. Mostly due to an annoying problems i have with my hands right now that strictly limits my forum time. Very annoying.
[I]*raises middle finger at Snerk*
Cathaaaaaaaaarsis!! :mad::mad:
/shakes fist at sky

Good job mafia. You've done it again. ;)

So for the next thread, may I host it?

If I do get to host it, how about we bring back the rhyming mafia game for a third rotation?

The last rhyme mafia game was great, tons of fun. I'll probably have to give this one a miss, but i'll be sure to lurk. :)

Oh yes, we definitely need Rhyme Mafia III. :D

By 'the next thread', electric, do you mean after Camikaze's game has finished, or as a smaller game running alongside his?

I still like my rhyme mafia best.

As do I. :D

And Catharsis, since Camikaze's game will be running for quite some time, I was hoping for a smaller game running parallel to his. So the second one.

Well, it seems that the response is generaly positive. How about I pop up a new game tommorow?

Do so!

Go ahead, electric.

I'd quite like to post the quicktopic, but would like choxorn's permission to do so. If he agrees then he can do it. (Don't need Omega's, he never posted on there.)


Altight. Here is the quicktopic thread. (http://www.quicktopic.com/43/H/89x6fHQWeaG) As you can see, we were using fake names- Catharsis is "Betty Crocker", I am "Threebie", and Omega was supposed to be "Wedge".


Y'know, I think Omega might well have worked stuff out that we hadn't, but was keeping very quiet about it (because 'QuickTopic is for squares' of course - that was one of the weirdest PMs I've ever received). Our original plan for the endgame was to under no circumstances accuse Love, because if I died (which I was expecting to) people could link Love to the 'Telltale Heart' reference in the same way that they linked me to 'The Raven', so we needed him kept alive.

Naturally, Omega accuses Love straight away. But it turns out that Love was the most threatening character in the endgame, and the planned bandwagon on Omega forced us to infect Love instead of our planned infection (Seon), so he really helped us out there, it turns out. He's probably from the future or something.


Yeah- ironically, in being unhelpful, he helped us to win the game. :lol:


You had us scrambling to get rid of you when you voted for choxorn without explanation. We assumed that the man in the peacock hat shouting at Keir Satchel in the first update was a prophet who had scanned chox, and were on the lookout for anyone who voted for him - hence our desperate attempts to get you lynched and out of the way, although the planned second-day lynch didn't work out because I stupidly accused civplayah (who turned out to be the peacock-hat man, so all's well that ends well).


Yeah- then we found out it was just civplayah and me voting for each other.


I wasn't claiming roleblocker dangit! That's two people who've said I claimed roleblocker to add to one who said I claimed prophet... what I was claiming was doctor. But I was tiptoeing around the word doctor because in a game where the enemy is a disease, there was bound to be one of some description somewhere (and there was - Love).

We also thought that you talking to sprig was him being infected and not him investigating you.

Lastly, a word on kill fire's WOG. If you can't tell from the quicktopic or what I've already posted, he was breaking the "Don't talk out of thread" rule and talking to me IRL. At the end of day 2, he kept bugging me to lynch Catharsis, and my attempts to give a reason for why I wasn't going to that didn't make him stop. He said he suspected us both, and then asked to see my role PM. When I told him no, he claimed I didn't have a problem with it in sprig's Snakes and Foxes game over at the .org. I told him that that was because I didn't yet know he was playing until after I opened it up, and then quickly hid it when he told me he had replaced rhawn. Still, he wouldn't stop bugging me, and even threatened to look at my Role PM if I didn't comply. :gripe: I think he was only joking now, but still, that was just not fair. So I finally said yes, and posted that vote of Catharsis at the end only because I knew it wouldn't matter. I asked CCRunner to WOG him for this crap, and kill fire was given a warning. Then, a day later, we somehow ended up talking about the game again, and he guessed a surprising amount about the mechanics- how resistance worked, that people were being disease-killed, and even correctly guessed the identity of all 3 of the mafia. He claims he was joking around, which is possible, but given that he likes lying, I at this point had become afraid he'd actually looked at my role PM, and again asked CCRunner to WOG him, and he was WOG'ed.

A note to kill fire- you may have just been joking, but Looking at, or even threatening to look at, my role PM, or any of my PM's for that matter, is not a fair tactic. Got it? So don't do it again. I don't do it to you, do I? And for that matter, let's just not talk much IRL about the mafia games unless we both know we're on the same team, okay? It just leads to disaster like here. Why do you think I'm always targeting you on one of the first few nights when I'm the mafia? BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.

You two share passwords?

No, but we click the "Remember Me" option when logging in and frequently find the other logged in from checking said box when we visit this site.

Actually, as I explained to CCrunner, the only time I talked to you after the warning, you brought up the conversation. In fact after that warning I did nothing wrong, and the only violation I ever made was the "no talking out of thread" thing, and I stoped after the warning as I said.

Wait, you guys know each other in real life?

They're brothers I believe

So.... I kinda screwed up our chance of innocent victory with assuming Catharsis was innocent eh? :p

Love probably would've stabbed Catharsis instead of Seon.

But if both Love and Seon role-claimed in thread after my post someone would've sniffed out Catharsis afterwards. :mad:

Actually, as I explained to CCrunner, the only time I talked to you after the warning, you brought up the conversation.

That isn't how I remember it.

But at any rate, the problem was I was just too afraid you were cheating because of some of the things you were saying. Mmkay? I really thought you were breaking the rules.

I didn't really know anything more than anyone else. I found out very little from choxorn, although managed to trick him into voting for Catharsis, I never actually thought that he was the mafia, Catharsis was the only one that I had any suspicious information about however, so I decided to go after him. I was getting bored with the game a little bit, so I figured I'd go kamikaze and try to take him out.

@choxorn: I remember. And I turned out to be innocent of cheating after all, so who's the :(:(:(hole now?

@TLO: Yeah, the two of us let down the team on the last day. Our competing theories took up everyone's mental space so that no one could really put forth the case for Catharsis. I also think, ironically, the small number of people who actually died of the Red Death helped them immensely, because it meant we couldn't look for a pattern in their kill choices vs. previous write-ups. I actually guessed the Resistance Mechanic accurately.

I though that sprig had scanned catharsis... :blush:

oh and the mafias reaction after choxorns death was funny.

CC can you post the pms?

Sprig did scan Catharsis, he just didn't get the correct result.

Sprig would see Choxorn and Omega as infected the same as anybody else that got infected by Catharsis. So yeah, he wasn't really a prophet.

I asked Love to cure me as well !!!! because i suspected that Catharsis might have infected me. but i forgot to send in orders i think or i scanned rhawn instead or somthing.

Anyway love said thta if i wasn;t infected then him curing me might have a bad effect.

Which was true. Anybody that could not be cured would be vigilanted instead.

Fudge, I forgot about the new thread! :eek:

Give me a minute, I'll put it up.
