Simpsons Mafia (Game Thread)

Over the night, many Springfield residents were too concerned or panicky to head home, and camped out by town hall. In particular, 33 concerned citizens stuck around throughout most of the night and were eager to take action the next morning. 3 others had found a way to make their voices heard despite currently being in jail.

Once again Mayor Quimby spoke to the town:

"After speaking with my staff and senior officials there is only one inescapable conclusion. There are criminals among us who seek to harm the town of Springfield and its people. As such, no one will be permitted to leave town and we will hold a majority vote for the culprit to be arrested by the Springfield Police."

It took a while for the confusion and arguing over the proclamation to die down.

"...And this is Kent Brockman on Channel Six news. It seems there is a lot of unresolved business from last night. We first have this gaudily dressed gentleman wanting some airtime."

"The name's Lanley. Lyle Lanley. And I come before you good people tonight with an idea."

"And what is that? How do you think it will help the town solve its criminal crisis?"

"Well sir, there's nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car Monorail! What'd I say?"

"MONORAIL!" shouted several members of the town, as some seemed willing to burst into song, but were restrained for now. Nonetheless, they quickly caught the attention of the mayor and everybody else demanding a vote.

"Well folks, this is a surprising bit of news, it appears we will also have a vote on construction of the Springfield monorail in town hall today.

"I can see there is already frantic discussion about what the people of Springfield will do. Bring the camera over here and let's hear what they have to say..."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

What are we going to find out about players who started off in jail?


In what order do abilities happen? Will my x happen if I am attacked/killed?


Can we give items to jailed/hospitalized players



Summary of the general rules on private communication?



Who can we vote to lynch?

players may now post​

TLD, you can stay in Jail.

Meanwhile, I'd like to chat up that sexy nurse in the hospital!

Hospitalise: Visorslash

And Monorail: Yes

Hospitalise:Civgeneral

Monorail:yes

Why not release BSmith1068

Damn I didn't need this. My life is enough of a mess already when everyone is doing fine, but now, there are criminals in Springfield???

Geez, I will start by cleaning that kitchen... how do we even do this?

Dring Dring

"What is it?"

"We are from Lyle Langley's office, we are polling the town to know if it is supporting our monorail project?"

Whatever, my car dares to start once in a month now...

"Yes, why not?
Before you leave, do you know how a dishwasher is supposed to work???"

But the men were entering their car and leaving already.

Monorail: Yes

I'll abstain for the moment.

Let's have a Monorail, shan't we? Monorail: Yes

EDIT: If those people stay in jail, will we find out who they are?

I'm in a good mood so I abstain from beating someone up (sending him/her to the hospital) or accuse him/her of being a criminal (to jail)

About the Monorail: I'm afraid the track will bend so I have to say no to that.

And I wait for the answer to NC's question before I vote for releasing people

I think we should jail: Zack.

I am always a fan of expanded public transportation, so yes to the monorail.

And I think it would be a splendid idea to free me from jail. I’d really rather not be here.

random.org says landlubber should go to jail. Yes for the monorail. Why should we release people from jail? They are in there for a good reason!

I am confused... I feel I may have missed something...

How are there people in jail already?...

What is this about a monorail?....

Apparently I have less information than the rest of you... which in traditional mafia makes me very suspicious... but the number of seemingly informed people is overwhelming and I am thinking it is more indicitive of my ignorance than their guilt.

No on the monorail... seems to me that if I should be supporting this cause then I would know something about it. Those that have voted yes so far must have some sort of hidden agenda for wanting it constructed, otherwise why would they blindly vote in favor without considering that someone is going to benefit from it?

One more thing.... why is visorslash voting to hospitalize himself.... that seems kind of... backwards....

-So lost.....

I'm pretty sure you have the same information as the rest of us.

Guys... please release me from a jail! I am innocent member of comunity, any scan can prove that!

We know who they are... look at the player list.. jailed players are in a seperate category than the living players.

Then what is your reasoning for voting in favor of the Monorail? If you have no more knowledge than I do.... then why support something you know nothing about? What would it do to the game? Mechanics-wise, what purpose does it serve? How do you know that it won't benefit someone whose win condition conflicts with yours?

I assume people in jail don't have items currently.

did not expect 3 people in jail to begin with, sucks for them since only 1 can be released at most a day.

I will jail:takhisis and yes: monorail. That monorail did wonders for north haverbrook!

oh, let's release Jarrema

I don’t, but I also don’t know that it won’t be something good. So in absence of information I am voting for it so that I can see what happens. Depending on what happens with this vote, I’ll be (potentially) more informed about what may happen when the next vote comes up. If we as a town continuously vote down these types of things, we will never know what would happen, good or bad.

While I may be somewhat biased here, we need to act carefully when voting to release people from jail. The rules state that we need a majority of living players to vote for a release, not just a plurality of votes. So splitting a vote between two jailed people will almost certainly guarantee that neither of them gets out.

May I propose that we release me today, and then we can all release Jarrema tomorrow?

Release a player from Jail

Each day, the town may vote to release up to one player from jail. This vote is independent of other votes, please vote in bold green. It takes approval of a majority of all Living players to release one candidate from jail, not just a plurality of votes. Otherwise, the town will not release someone from jail at the end of the day.

(bold mine)

I say we jail: choxorn I think we shouldn't release someone until the cops give us the results of their investigations.
