Mafia Game: Those Darn States (Game Thread)

Hang on a sec; what is searching the town actually going to achieve? Anything at all? What is there to search for in the town? We at least know that there is something to search for if we go for the shield. We at least have a clear objective. I'm curious as to why SpockFederation thinks otherwise...

And a question for Earthling- is our bolded vote a vote for action, whether it be lynching or doing something else, or is our action the blue vote? Do we still have a blue vote?
 
Why is no one else joining me in my holy quest?

Care, lest the eye be distracted and fall upon ye.

All this confusion and I didn't get any PMs though. I figured this would be confusing though, don't worry.

Ok, let me try to be clear:

Vote for what you want to do in bold. Again, you could try to vote for anything, some things may be much more realistic than others however. If you vote for someone to be lynched, by default you are supporting having a lynch in the first place. If you vote to do something else, that's what you think the town should do today instead. Players who have not voted entirely do not contribute to any of the options but will be taken as against a lynch if a lynch occurs, this first day. A plurality rather than an absolute majority is most likely necessary for what you all decide to do.

If and only if you vote for the shield, then you may also vote in blue for someone to give the shield to, should you find it. (or a similar decision which involve a secondary determination, though I can't see nor think of any proposed right now). Players need to re-state their intentions - a vote for the shield along with a lynch vote or something before the Midday update may not count as they'd want it.
 
Methos stands quietly looking out into the field the little girl threw the shield.

"Search the town!" the populous cried in unison.

Methos looked back over his shoulder at the town behind him. Makes you wonder why the people desire to search the town behind us, when the shield was thrown into the cornfield in front of us.

Search the area where the shield was thrown, as in the cornfield!
 
I know.

I vote we: Tie Nictel's hands together and drag him around the perimter of town 5 times through the dirt.

Yeah! Screw the shield! I vote we do what pever the green suggested.

Vote: Winston Hughes

Ask the teenage girl to come back and throw Double A wherever she threw the shield, and try to make him land on his head.

I'd kick her ass. I mean your ass.
 
Hey, guys, you're supposed to vote for the thing having to do with the shield in blue, not black. :p

Every role playing game must start at the town's tavern!

Actual reasoning: If we run around in a cornfield, we have no information as to where we are, what we're doing, etc. And we can go find the shield then have another chick just pop up and take it.

We want information, information, INFORMATION.

Alternatively, we can just ask this Beefy beef man here. To patrol at night and bash the heck out of the bad guys.

Some might worry about how I can stay active for 24 hours. Don't worry... People from my state are so manly. We don't need to rest at night.

*wades through everyone else's posts, about 50 of them*

Hey, I didn't see that Midday thing coming. Will that happen every midday, or is it a special one?
Why can't we vote to find the shield, people, instead of just looking for it? Sommerswerd is right.
We could even vote for ATPG to find the shield again...

There's lotsa votes on lynching people for no reason. I'm not voting on anyone. unvote: CCRunner
Very. Takhisis
:thumbsup: Thank you!

Actually, I've decided I'd rather make this more clear, I think it may be very confusing from the player's point of view right now, and it is the first Day. So, first, a question I should answer:


This information is not going to be made available, you could all guess/speculate as time goes on if you want.

Now, as far as a "Town Course of Action" goes, I will provide examples of what you may do today - again you could collectively do something else, you may do so any day in fact, if you think an opportunity exists, but just examples:

-You could vote to search for the Shield, and give it to someone.
-You could vote to search the physical Town you're in.
-You could have a regular lynch, voting for someone to be lynched.
-Etc...
Almost like in Roll to Dodge. http://foorumi.haistapaska.com/images/smilies/WTH.gif Can we invent Day/Night Actions (the kind used for PMs) too?
A girl can hope, can't she?
You're a girl?
I vote that we bake cookies!
be careful, the cookie monster (Snerk) is around... even though he's not playing :p
 
EVENING ONE

Evening was already passing by and as the sun set the town had some final debates over their decision.

One intersting idea to set up a security system wasn’t followed through, as no one could find a camera lying around and no others supported the idea. Then there were some people who were rather more hysterical, the stress of it causing them to break down in tears and cry for cookies like mommy makes, or let loose with wild assaults on others.

But these individuals were out voted by those with more level heads. Though there was heavy debate over the best use of time, a block of people wielded more influence than suspected. Several others had kept quiet but already supported a previous vote on the shield. So the decision was made, that everyone would be delegated to go search for the shield, while there was still daylight. And this decision was profitable, for out in the fields the shield of Captain America was found. askthepizzaguy was chosen by several supporters to hold onto it, an honor and a sign of trust.

Spoiler Tally :

Search the town 10 - choxorn, DrumStudent, landlubber, LightFang, Love, SpockFederation, SS-18 ICBM, taillesskangaru, Zack
Search for the shield 8- askthepizzaguy, Beefy187, civplayah, Krill, Methos, Sommerswerd, Takhisis

give the shield to:
askthepizzaguy 5- askthepizzaguy, CivGeneral, Diamondeye, Takhisis, TheLastOne36
Sommerswerd 1- Sommerswerd
Winston Hughes 1- Autolycus
(those who voted to search the town don't have previous shield votes count, as they thought it a waste of time.)

Re-asserted Lynch Votes
SpockFederation 1 - Camikaze
johnhughtom 1 - Winston Hughes
Winston Hughes 1 - johnhughthom

bake cookies 1- Perfection
Torture, but not kill, Nictel 2- Double A, pevergreen

Not voting, or previous abstentions - others


But there were surprises yet as the people made their way back to the town. In the distance in the window of a building, someone spotted many flashes of light directed somewhere while the sun’s rays could still be collected. As few if anyone knew what this meant, a number would have gone to investigate, if not for another interruption.

At first there was only static, and it wasn’t clear where the noise was coming from. But it was discovered the town had some old yet still functioning civil defense system, and somehow, instead of its original purpose, it was picking up radio messages.

One voice cut in franticly and with high, energetic tones:
“Hey everyone! Wouldn’t it be so fun if we called ourselves by our real names – you-all-know-what. There’s just someone who won’t because it’s a LIZARD!!1”

After this message cackled off, a second quip was heard, from another voice:
“Two heads are better than one.”

And then the whole system was back to static.

Still confused, and now very tired after the end of the day as well, people split up and made their way to find some shelter and a place to rest for the upcoming night.

It is now NIGHT ONE. Talking on the game thread is still permitted, if players wish. Those of you who wish to send NIGHT Actions, do so now.

Day in 24 hours.
