Mafia Game: Those Darn States (Game Thread)

Because it's better to have an inactive innocent who's not going to harm you and not going to make you lose the game if they stay alive, than an active mafia, who are going to kill you and are going to make you lose the game if they stay alive.

At least three times since I mentioned Owen Glyndwr's inactivity I have seen his name in the active users lists when I have come to the Forum Games forum. I find this lack of interest in voting for someone who should have been wogged strange, if there is a good reason behind it could someone let me know via pm so I can put my vote somewhere more useful.

johnhughthom, I've asked Love to scan him tonight. If he's a villain, we can hang him tomorrow.

I ask everyone to pile their votes on Captain Blackadder. I want to make completely sure that I do not have a scan on him - but I do on quite a lot of other survivors, so I'm doing my best to cut down the list of suspects as fast as possible.

Remember in the beginning of the game where I mentioned my strength was waning? Yeah, that. We should hurry. For now I'm good because of items, but ... Yeah. Better safe than sorry, guys.

Oh, and apologies for the double post: I'd like to tell my friend Mark Twain that despite his no doubt fantastic literary skills, being a tralfamatorian (sp?) somehow limits the reading experience.

I knew something was wrong with the initials he left with his notes.

Captain Blackadder shall die.

EVENING ELEVEN

Some decisions had been reached, though perhaps not everyone really knew what they were doing. Nevertheless, the first thing the town wanted to do was get rid of Capt Blackadder.

Action Votes
Lynch
Capt Blackadder 5 - Diamondeye, landlubber, Love, RRaskolnikov, SS-18 ICBM Virote_Considon
Owen Glyndwr 1 - johnhughthom
RRRaskolnikov 1 - Capt Blackadder
Virote_Considon 1 - Capt Blackadder

Search the village 4- johnhughthom, Love, RRRaskolnikov, Virote_Considon


So a lynch mob was gathered, and they chased him till he was cornered on a balcony.

"Stop, what have I ever done to you! I want to help my countrymen." He protested.

"Yeah right, you're Benedict Arnold" someone in the crowd responded.

"Wha...but...what does that have to do with anything?" Blackadder said with uncertainty. The crowd simply would not be swayed, however, and closed in, pushing him off the ledge to his death.

Capt Blackadder was dead

*****************************************

After this display of violence, the crowd didn't decide to lynch anyone else, so they searched the rest of this strange village. All sorts of traps and pitfalls, a giant chess board in the middle of a park, and other oddities were found. But only one interesting item was retrieved - a brightly colored Umbrella that would be voted on the next time.

In fact, as for the rest of the items kept in public view, as the town gathered at the end of the day lots of different people were moving towards them.

"Why don't I take this" one said. Or, "surely I can have this"

But these attempts were turned down by the town at large:

"Sure, everyone would want to take an item himself, but we've collectively decided to keep them here safely, even if no one has them it also means they can't be used to evil ends."

So no items were voted to anyone today. And again, the radio sets were silent...

It is now Night 11. Those of you with NIGHT orders to send, please do so NOW.

Day in 24 hours.

Benedict Arnold was my ancestor

DiamondEye, Love, would either of you be allowed to post a list of who you've scanned who appears innocent thus far? I think this could help us non-prophets a lot, and hopefully avoid leading to another Capt Blackadder situation (sorry, man . May you rest in peace)

Virote, explain how townies dying can be wrong.

Because that would mean me dying. I want as many of us townies alive as possible at the end, you know, make it a proper victory over the mafias!

Want me to paint targets on the CIs?

Naww - and O'Keefe's dead. Not this time around

Indeed Virote, I hope Captain Blackadder didn't die for nothing!

What does my being dead have to do with anything?

I see now why it was a crap idea. Stupid late-night posting

I think it's because you were declared an innocent and then killed, so if there was a list of innocents, they could be targeted, or something.


Well, DE, could you give us a number (not names!) of those who haven't yet been scanned, so we could see the potential threat we're dealing with?

It was a simple pun (O'Keefe is a painter), but it appears that my humour is of a different league than that of you earthlings.

...

During the night, Double A had found not only the village but perhaps the cramped indoors too uncomfortable, so with pleasant enough climate decided to spend the night camped outisde. Perhaps this mistake made it easier for his attacker to catch him, or perhaps not, but it was clear he was overpowered, and most of his body dragged away.

Double A was dead


Left behind was a Feathered Headdress that had belonged to the brave warrior. Likewise, from the day before Benedict Arnold's tricorned hat was held in public pending a decision to what to do with this; other personal belongings were politely left to the dead.
*****************************************

MORNING TWELVE

There was a disturbance, as if twoscore people somewhere had cried out in impatience about something called Star Wars. But that turbulent feeling came back as the town was transported away from the Village and yet again back to the Midwestern Town. Was there something fruitful here left for anyone...?

It is now DAY TWELVE. Those of you with Day orders to send, you may do so now.

Vote for an action in bold
Vote for the Torch in blue
Vote for the Stilts in cyan
Vote for either of the Radio Sets in red and gray
Vote for the Umbrella in Purple
Vote for the Feathered Headdress in Sienna
Vote for the Tricornered Hat in Green

Night in 48 hours

I would like the Feathered Headdress.
Diamondeye.

Awaiting target coordinates.

I have learned that Owen Gwyndr is up to something!

Also, I would like to have the tricorned hat

Love, explain yourself. We both know that you don't really have a scanning ability but rather that you are a vigilante.

You did not kill Owen Gwyndr, yet now you try to have him lynched, why is that?

SS, is there a special reasons you want the headdress? Otherwise, I'd say All items to me. I will distribute them among people who have been scanned, then.
