Not until June! :(

BTW, yes, LOtR books are thinner. :p

PM's are being sent. You may not vote yet, until I add the introduction story.

Notice: PM's are sent! Story being written.

Day 1
The Fellowship continued blindly through the Dark of Moria.
In the front, Gandalf paused. "This is it. I can't remember anything ahead of here. We'll stop here." The Company paused and put down their bags. Frodo sat on a rock near Gandalf.
"Are we almost there?" The young hobbit was tired already.
"No, I'm afraid not." Gandalf sighed.
The other members of the Fellowship were conversing among themselves. Boromir and Aragorn came up to Gandalf. "Frodo, could you help Sam unpack?"
Frodo could tell when he wasn't wanted. He moved down the rocks and started unpacking the food. They only had 2 months provisions left.
"Gandalf, one of the Fellowship has betrayed us." Aragorn paused. While he waited for an answer, Boromir said, "We must take a vote! If treachery is allowed, the Fellowship will break."
Gandalf stayed quiet. He knew it would come to this. "Alright... We'll do it." He grunted.
Gandalf turned so everyone could hear him. "Aragorn says one of you has betrayed the Fellowship. We must take a vote. You have until tonight to decide. Then we will banish the decided from the Fellowship and move on."

You may now vote on your betrayer.
Yes, I know, the storyline is so fake :p

Note: I didn't make myself clear on something: If you have two abilities (Item + Ability) You may use both :mwaha:

Vote: Buddhafish

Reasons already mentioned in thread.

EDIT: On second thought, I shouldn't be interrupting.

The exchange between Buddha and JHT. :p

I'm assuming for not reading the books.

Johnhughthom, lady luck chose you. Who am I to disagree with her :)

So basically we are trying to find who ate all the lembas? Clearly it couldn't be me, with my skinny avatar. Buddhafish, on the other hand, appears to be an entire planet. Surely he would need to eat a lot to keep his energy up for the march?

Vote: Buddhafish

Wut. I say No Lynch

@topsecret day ends at 48 hours (and 20 mins from the day start post), right?

@topsecret day ends at 48 hours (and 20 mins from the day start post), right?

Then I have to dream up a reason for killing someone :cry:

Present.

vote: Jarrema So you think you can not play my game do you? We'll see about that ;)

:(

So depressing that most people automatically think of the films now, rather than the book...

In.
The films show you the scenery, rather than taking four pages to describe the beauty of the leaf on that plant over there.

This is a message from your host. If you wish to discuss the book/movie controversy, do it somewhere else.This is not directed at anyone in paticular :p

Vote: Jarrema

Because I can

No, again?
in a second game at the same time?
Is it some sort of anti-Jarema crusade, Buddhafish?
vote: Buddhafish

Jarrema's a good guy, Buddhafish. Stay off of him.

Unvote; Vote:Verarde

Why so quick to defend him? Huh?

Unvote; Vote: No Lynch

I have no reasons for wanting you dead Verarde. I just don't want to get lynched myself.

I thought just the same. However, I still won't pronounce myself on the matter. I'm gonna try to be useful, and let's see if people try to lynch me for no reason again. :p

By the way, don't try to do nasty things to me, or you'll suffer.

Day 1 will end @ 5 PM
21 hours from post time ;)
Tally:
Buddhafish - 4 (Visorslash, Johnhughthom, Jarrema, Verarde)
Jarrema - 1 (Autolycus)
No Lynch - 2 (Buddhafish, JoanK)
Autolycus - 1 (Dreadnought)
Johnhughthom - 1 (Mat93)
Mat93 - 1 (DaveShack)

2 days of failing to vote result in death :mwaha:
Note that in a tie, RNG decides :p

Edited.

First day no lynches tend to favor Mafia, by the way. Not knowing the roles present in the game makes a no lynch vote riskier.

What else am I supposed to do? I have to get something going to save myself.

And Verarde/Jarrema, what happened to Autolycus voting for Jarrema. Did you guys forget about that?

Vote: Mat93 for now.

Not Voting - Mat93, Dreadnought, Davefish

:lol: :p

Vote: Autolycus for now, only because he has no votes thusfar; I don't want to place a vote yet that would result in a lynch.

I don't want to place a vote yet that would result in a lynch.

safe playing...

I will left my vote where it is only because it matters. I understand day 1 votes are random, but they should lead to someone being killed

Budda, IMO your only chance now is to roleclaim. And if your role is really important, that may save you

If I voted No Lynch is because, of course, D1 votes are random. And seeing as there are many candidates already, I see no reason to change it now.

Ooops, forgot the vote tags. Fixed.

Vote: Johnhughthom

:lol: :p

I need more sleep. :yuck:

You want a roleclaim Jarrema?

Roleblocker, there you go. There's probably not another role like this, so killl me if you really want to.

aah
I mean something moar.
What is your name? Is it item or your own ability?

Roleblocker is pretty generic yet useful.

Hmm. Yes it is. I guess that you roleblock item abilities, right?

@JoanK, I guess so.

I'm Boromir, Jarrema. And its an item. Now how about an unvote? Please?

@JoanK, I guess so.

I'm Boromir, Jarrema. And its an item. Now how about an unvote? Please?

Boromir, eh? Feeling a little tempted by the Ring?

:crazyeye:

Yeah, that roleclaim isn't precisely a good defence :lol:

Sorry about the hour delay. Got distracted by real life :p

Gandalf stood up. "It is time." Frodo looked up. This was it.
Gandalf counted the votes quietly. "Boromir. 4."
Boromir snapped his head up, shocked. "What?"
Frodo stood. "I can't do it!"
Pippin added, "Why do we have to?"
Boromir shook his head. He accepted his fate. "I'll die with honor, though." He walked over to a dark corner. Everyone turned away. Suddenly, Boromir shouted.
Gimli ran to the corner. "Aragorn, Boromir is... is... dead. Something got him."
---
Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli buried Boromir in a grave. "But how do we know if he was the traitor?" Merry asked.
Gandalf shook his head. "Men are masters of their own fate. It is not for us to know."

Well, darn. Next time I'll lurk, then maybe I can survive Day 1.

Buddha, it happens. Though unless you have a reason, saying because I can is not necessarily the best way to stay alive. Just like saying I'm mafia. (Been there done that).

However, if your alignment is unclear, that is better then townie, I suppose. Though I'm not sure.

Result PM's are sent at the end of Night 1.

Visor, I used the exact same strategy in Secrecy and nobody cared. But I see what you mean.

Strategy? Pfft, amateur.

Alright, I'm gonna start sending result PM's.
I have one more to wait for, but we'll start when I get it.

Am I completely stoopid, or has our fine host given away the secret role in the op? Seemed a logical guess, but there were other options.

Gimli said, "Not even an Elf can see his own death."

"My Precious! My Precious!"

It seems that during the middle of the night, someone took Boromir's horn!

Hmmm. I know for sure that someone tried to steal my item last night, and I know who he is. I will give him a chance to explain to me why did he do it. 24 hours. After that, I will reveal who it was, and I'll push for his lynch.

deadman's comment: SOMEONE TOOK MY BLOODY HORN!!!!!!!!!

Interesting.

So, we have nine members of the Fellowship, plus an additional tenth player, who I'd think to be Gollum. With that in mind, the only people who would fit in the role as an item thief would be one of the hobbits, or Gollum himself. Out of the four hobbits, Merry seems like the one that would be the thief, though Pippin might -- for a stretch -- be capable of stealing too.

I'd place my money of Gollum though (maybe trying to "steal" the Ring?).

After seeing the part about Boromir's horn, I'd be willing to guess that perhaps one of the hobbits took the horn -- I'm not condemning or condoning that bit, however.

I'm speaking strictly from a Middle-Earth perspective.

There is a extra vote for Daveshack this day.

Umm, does this mean I get to place an extra vote, or that a mysterious extra vote against me has appeared?

I'm going to start with a vote:mat93, mostly on gut instinct and to try to get some discussion going while we wait for the thief to either be revealed or not.

I'm going to Vote: Dreadnought

Umm, does this mean I get to place an extra vote, or that a mysterious extra vote against me has appeared?

A mysterious extra vote :p

vote: JoanK

Can we get some explanation for these votes?

:agree: I am specially interested on Jarrema's vote... why would you try to kill someone like me?

Because I see no better target...
TBH, I still lack real reason for voting for someone

My vote for Dreadnought is based on him trying to come across as helpful, saying something is only beneficial to mafia is something mafia often say, and not wanting to put a vote on someone which will cause a lynch. Is this very suspicious behaviour? No, not really. But I haven't seen anything else which caused my often wonky scum-o-meter to ping.

He just said what I was thinking. And as I find myself in Jarrema's position, which I esteem to be that of the whole of us, I am not voting anybody just yet.

I just think that it is better to vote someone than not to vote. Anyway, it is a placeholder, but I am going to sleep and next to work, so it is better IMO to have placeholder vote than not have any.

A tie will be RNG'ed.

Votes:
Mat93 - 3 (Autolcyus, DaveShack, Dreadnought)
Dreadnought - 2 (johnhughthom, Mat93)
Daveshack - 1 (?)

Not Voting: Jarrema, JoanK, Verarde

Day ends in ~19 hours
@ 4 P.M. EST

Going to make your announcement, JoanK?

Oh. No, the person in question PMed mee and we've talked... seems legit to me.

Well, I certainly don't want to get taken down by tiebreak random numbers, from a mystery vote.

For now, vote: Mat93. I'm reasonably certain Dreadnought is good. JoanK is at least talking recently.

You know what?
you are right.
The most important "mission" of my vote on JoanK was accomplished (he is talking). Now it is time to move to other target

unvote

do someone care to explain why DaveShack get this mystery vote? I would understand that vote if someone was comvinced that Dave is mafia and wanted to lynch him, but I do not understand this vote and no case made against him

Of course I do! I feel compelled to, both for a singular circumstance and because I dont want to be lynched under the label "unuseful".

And, most possibly, it is any ability, maybe it is The Ring or something.

I suppose it is ability. I only wonder if it is pro-town one, and why the person who used it does not go further with vote for Dave.
It may be character-related ability. I could see Aragorn or someone else have ability of one additional vote.

I personally don't trust the extra vote, as no one else is voting with it. If someone reveals the reason behind it, or anything about it, then we will have a clearer idea on it.

As I have no other leads, and purely for self preservation, Vote: Dreadnought.

I'm assuming the extra vote was chosen by the person randomly, because we don't have much to go with at the moment.

My vote for Dreadnought is based on him trying to come across as helpful, saying something is only beneficial to mafia is something mafia often say, and not wanting to put a vote on someone which will cause a lynch. Is this very suspicious behaviour? No, not really. But I haven't seen anything else which caused my often wonky scum-o-meter to ping.

I can assure you, my previous post is only based on the Lord of the Rings itself. I was guessing based on the the characters.

Indeed. You have swayed my hand, good sir.

Vote: Mat93

oh
it seems to be the best lynch candidate now, and he is not even trying to save himself. vote: Mat92

This is your 3 hour warning :p

Abstain. No clues, no nothing for me. I'll just watch for today. Interesting candidate to the lynch...

What am I susposed to save myself from? Reasonless votes? I see a gut instinct vote, a vote to prevent someone from dieing to a RNG on a vote from someones night action (I would assume), someone saying the best lynch candidate (most likely yes, but there has been no reason to vote for me, so why am I the best candidate?), and Dreadnought saying I swayed his hand into voting for him. I read into Dreadnoughts reasoning that he caused the extra vote on DaveShack.

Have a missed a legitimately good reason to vote for me anywhere? I didn't think so. It appears the only reason is because I haven't posted much, which happens sometimes.

I see Jarrema as the most suspicious person to vote for me, as it looks a lot like he is trying to ensure I die, to end discussion and make sure he is safe this round. But what do I know, I'm only a dead man and soon to be confirmed Good.

Dreadnought's post leads me to believe that he did in fact issue that vote. And, it is my opinion that if he was corrupted he would have pushed for it, or tricked somebody into that. Instead, that post makes him look innocent to me.

And I should correct myself, Dreadnought's vote for me is seemingly to protect himself from the lynch by killing me. So yeah, 1 random vote, 1 saving themselves vote, and another saving themselves vote, and I am the best candidate for being lynched. I see your brilliant logic there, or should i say see through it?

And making it so I'm not the outright leader for the lynch, but tied with someone, giving me a chance through the RNG to avoid it is not doing enough to save myself? I could go more here, but then everyone would say (if they aren't already) that I'm OMGUSing, and I'm sure everyone is more than capable of reading your post, and extending my thinking on it, so:

unvote; Vote: Jarrema.

Die corrupted die.

I have absolutely nothing. I'm sorry. Abstain. I am barely following this right now. I'll be more active next day. Too much going on right now.

oh
it seems to be the best lynch candidate now, and he is not even trying to save himself. vote: Mat92

Should I count it? It's Mat93...
Ok...

Mat.
Why I thought you were the best candidate?
well. mainly because there is no other. But also because you were not trying to defend yourself. By it I mean for example roleclaiming. If I was at the first place with a few votes, I would surely roleclaim. Why not? There is also benefit of letting town know this bit of info, which shouldnt hurt.

Btw, I think that it may be good time for mass roleclaiming.
What you guys think? If everyone tells which character he is we should catch Gollum easily...

Should I count it? It's Mat93...
Ok...

ahh
unvote; vote: Mat93

End of Day 2
The Fellowship marched on. They entered a small room and waited quietly. Suddenly, down the hall soft footsteps approached.
"My Precious! My Precious!" Gollum walked by.
Aragorn, Gandalf, and Gimli jumped on Gollum and tied him up.
"It burns our throat! It burns!"
Gandalf looked the creature up and down, then said, "We must be on our way. Leave him tied up. He'll get out eventually." But when Gandalf turned around, Frodo, Sam, Gimli, and Pippin jumped on him.
"What did you do that for?"
"He was the only one left trying to get it." Frodo stated.
The Fellowship lynched Mat93!

Gollum killed the best player to kill, with his Elf ability. :run:

Actions coming up :D

I will save my thoughts for after topsecret, but that was short.

Although expected after JoanK caught me trying to steal last night, was hoping for my 25% to work, giving me 2 shots to win (before I would of lost), but oh well.

@Dreadnought: from what I know, I was a lone scum role, nothing else aside from me aside all the Good.

EDIT: Well I was wrong on being the only corrupt, would we have won together?

@topsecret: The one thing that would of made me lose inside 2 days was a mass roleclaim in day 1. I kind of needed a cover role, but still should of done better.

Aside from that, was fairly balanced and was a good (but short) game.

And of course, congrats Good team :)

I could have talked on his behalf, but I was too suspicious, so I just let you lynch him. I should have protected Visorslash the last night, knowing that he is most times a helpful person, but well, I hadn't thought that, so I just protected myself :p

Hah!

Aragorn tried to kill Frodo! :lol:

Day 1
Boromir is lynched!

Night 1:
Jarrema takes the horn.
JoanK protects himself.
Visorslash trys to scan Autlycus, but Jarrema blocks him.
Autolycus scans johnhughthom
johnhughthom examines Verarde
Verarde votes for Daveshack
Mat93 kills Visorslash, but fails to steal from Gandalf

Day 2:
Mat93 is lynched, but JoanK fails to vote for him, even with his ability.

Fails to vote for him? Seeing that he was to be lynched, I felt no need to. :p

We talked and he looked scummy enough to decide not to try to stop his lynch.

I think we won on pure town luck here. johnhughthom contacted me after he examined me, so we connected there. beyond that, I wasn't expecting the game to end so soon.

Me neither. There was a possibility that he was one of the hobbits, I wasn't sure if the mafioso would have both his powers.

I was technically a hobbit...

There was some bad luck on me being caught by JoanK Night 1, that did cause me to not post for a while in case he revealed halfway through, would of made it nearly impossible to recover, trying to play it safe in the shadows. Backfired a bit though, which I think I was mainly bad luck for DaveShack voting for me. Had that not happened, I don't think I would of been lynched. On the other hand, credit to the Good for not making any mistakes.

My night actions: Visorslash was an obvious first choice, although I could of left him for a day 2 kill as he probably wouldn't suspect me until day 3, if I had been more active in day 2.
I chose JoanK because I expected him to die by day 4, someone who I could probably get lynched ahead of me, I wanted to make sure I didn't need him alive (in case my attempt to steal failed, which it did).

Planned night 2 actions: Definitely not to kill JoanK, I would not risk him keeping my identity a complete secret, knowing that I couldn't steal from him, probably meant he wasn't the one with the ring.

I would of left Jarrema alive to push on a lynch, trying to buy me another round. Probably would of killed either Autolycus or Verarde. For stealing, it would of been random.

Good job guys! Another win at CFC I did nothing to help achieve... :lol:

I have to admit, I was expecting the corruption dealie to be a conversion, and some of the players (Boromir and one or two of the hobbits) to be corruptible, Boromir coming up as unclear certainly made that seem likely. Seems like a tough set up for Mat93, unlucky to lose so early.

Unlucky to try to steal from the one who could not be robbed, and who could see who tried to :p

Well darn. I think that I would've had a better go at it if I had kept my mouth shut, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Why was I an obvious kill choice?

Knowing that Dreadnought was Sam gave me only one choice to put at 2 votes. I didn't know that Sam would inherit the ring, though it should have been easy to predict. I did ask if using the ring would get me out of a lynch and got an answer of no it wouldn't matter. BTW what was the side effect?

Corruption I assume.

Always pushing for more activity by people. Which means I can't lurk and hide, and also stopping you voicing any possible suspicions about me, which would be given more credibility when you died (I'm fairly sure you would of been lynched, or I would of killed you in a later night).

Short version: IMO, harder to win with you alive.


@topsecret: if anyone else became corrupted, would me or buddha have been told about it?

I'm going to take that as a compliment. :p

Thats the way I intended it :)

It was lucky for me that you had a useful ability too, would of made it easier if I didn't get myself killed.

Frodo was corruptible, (as was anyone with the Ring :p)

Nope, it's a mad dash for the Ring :p

My thoughts on the game:
You guys got lucky :lol:
Seriously, that was one of the best games I saw.
I'm pretty sure the town was overpowered though...
The side-effects of the Ring could be anything from suspicious activity in the update (people would vote for you :D) to total corruption (which you could win the game on the next turn :eek:)

Overall, I learned quite a bit.
Who thinks I should host another minigame on something else?

If someone get corrupted while in possession of ring, would he won automatically??

The next night. (You must use the Ring.)

and I think you should host another mini game :)
with not so many powerful abilities

I was thinking of doing a vanilla game :D

This was interesting. At least, don't make such powerful roles ;)

I agree with you hosting again, was fun. Maybe a few less power roles overall, but in terms of the experimental ones, I wouldn't mind seeing again (the random vote, and only seeing ability but not alignment).

I would prefer another themed game to vanilla, but I don't mind that much. If you do go themed though, include safe claims for the mafia players, that they could claim and get away with. Or just stop short of using the character names. Makes it impossible to flush out all the mafia with a massclaim (unless the mafia screw up, which is their fault).

No one roleclaimed this game. (I was surprised.)

Well, I did. And their wasn't much time to either.
