Talisman Mafia

[Earthling]

unvote: Verarde Just checking, you don't have better proof, like someone was told they were protected or told an attack was blocked (there was a scum attack missing two nights back). I'll still accept your claim for now, I'm unvoting you on your own merits.

vote: choxorn I want to find out which character you are before moving this vote again.

I looked at choxorn and Mergle's posts and if you take the theory that the other mafia didn't know about Kennigit there is nothing clearing them for sure, it goes for them both. But much more importantly, I also just found out that the Sheep talisman was in fact stolen from me last night, so I'm not going to have another scan. This really bothers me since on top of the mafia stealing from me they apparently roleblocked General Olaf and attempted to kill him. It's not necessarily a problem because of three actions, I could see that working somehow for the scum, but because of how they would have chosen their targets. Doesn't add up, and between choxorn and General Olaf and forgot to send abilities business I'm thinking something is wrong. Choxorn had the roleblock talisman and never used it and some other person as scum stole it to then go after Olaf...or somebody's story is false. There's a lot of misinformation, even in the writeups, I wouldn't put past Shendu, in the sense of a cover role.

Oh, Jarrema for the snake talisman sounds fine.

 

[Optical]

Oh, one more thing, my thoughts are pretty committed on this: no one should be voted the rabbit talisman, that's clearly extremely dangerous. If the scum get it and they can use the power again they could prevent a lynch. Remember they could get it even by stealing it at night; it's definitely good they didn't steal it from Takhisis last night. We should vote the other talisman today to whomever wants it that we can trust and have the rabbit left unvoted which seems to be pretty safe and foolproof.

Fair enough. unvote myself for the Rabbit Talisman.

Jarrema can have the Snake Talisman, he seems trustworthy enough.

 

[Tee Kay]

Jarrema for the snake talisman

 

[DaveShack]

Jarrema can have the snake.

Choxorn seems the most suspicious to me.

 

[Earthling]

I think we've not had enough discussion when Verarde is still leading for the lynch. It's true we moved votes around a lot today but that was good, I think we got some innocents speaking up and it improved our position overall. However, anyone leaving one bandwagon vote and not checking back in or considering changing the vote doesn't help. I was too focused on Takhisis yesterday, certainly, with hoping to get a reveal and all and I overlooked the others with valid suspicion of choxorn. Those points haven't been logically dismissed and choxorn is looking pretty scummy all things considered. I'd like to encourage the lynch on choxorn today unless he can defend himself, and I can resummarize all of the points together from the past few days that add up.

-choxorn apparently doesn't have an active ability of his own (from his own hypothetical talisman) that he has ever used or shared. It's possible for an innocent to have a passive talisman, sure, but that leaves us with the assumption an innocent choxorn has never done anything at night, including forgetting to use the roleblock the one time he had it.
-I don't think we have the public knowledge to be satisfied with why General Olaf's protection ability didn't work. As a single thing, on its own, sure it's acceptable that choxorn's talisman could still have been stolen by unknown mafia action, but that's not the only thing going on here. I do believe Olaf's claim and should have paid more attention to that discussion yesterday.
-the typical "not paying attention/forget to send orders" is an excuse that any scum can use anytime anywhere. With pressure we've gotten multiple other people to make testable claims, this just isn't enough.

The only things that were ever really in choxorn's favor were voting for Kennigit - and people were very smart to point out that's not proof of innocence after you guys had that successful lynch, and just "feeling" like he was an active innocent from talking and sounding plausibly innocent. Any provable actions aren't actually there.

 

[Verarde]

Good points, Earthling. Unvote: Jarrema, Vote: choxorn

 

[Mergle]

Earthling's got the point I was trying to make earlier. unvote; vote: choxorn

 

[choxorn]

Alright, you wanted me to say some stuff about myself?

I'm Lo Pei, a.k.a. the guy who sealed Shendu into statue form a few centuries ago. Okay, that's not entirely true, I'm just an animated statue of Lo Pei, but, same difference, really.

I have the Monkey Talisman, which lets me transform into someone else at night. Any abilities targetted at once of us have a chance of hitting the other.

Any more questions?

 

[choxorn]

Well, I'm not sure about his scumminess, but prefer his death to my own:

Unvote, Vote: Verarde

 

[Turquoiside]

Lynch:
Choxorn: 5 (General Olaf, Earthling, DaveShack, Verarde, Mergle)
Verarde: 4 (NinjaCow64, Jarrema, taillesskangaru, choxorn)


On the fifth day of the lock-down, there were two candidates who stood out: Verarde and choxorn. However, as soon as it became clear that he was going to be chosen, choxorn decided to repeat Takhisis' escape plan. Although he lacked a Talisman for the job, he hoped leaving fast enough would produce the same result. Unfortunately, Captain Black had also learned from yesterday's mistake and choxorn was seized before he could break into brisk walk. Not done fighting, he somehow summoned a cane to his hand from some distant nook of the base and began an ultimately futile resistance against his captors. Cursing the day the Dark Hand ever allied with Shendu, choxorn was solemnly carried off.

Choxorn has been lynched!

Spoiler :

He was Valmont, the leader of the Dark Hand!

​

Role: Valmont
Talisman: N/A
Allegiance: The Dark Hand
Ability:

• Team: If Hak Foo and the Enforcers are killed, you may kill one player each night
• All [Well, most] collected Talismans are given to you, giving you their powers
• If Shendu dies, he will possess you. Your role will change to Shendu

You are the brilliant, but increasingly incompetent English leader of the world’s number…..well let’s just say a powerful criminal organization. Although your numbers and resources have seen a noticeable decline since you began working with Shendu, today is a new day and your goals are more clear than ever. The twelve Talismans must be obtained, which you have assigned The Enforcers (???) to handle. The most crucial of these is the Rat Talisman necessary to fully revive Shendu (???). To this end, Hak Foo should be found so you can begin picking off the members of Section 13 one by one. Once these have happened, it will be short work to destroy Section 13 and become the most powerful and richest man in the world.

They received a nearly full confession, explaining the unexpected loss of the Enforcers, and the team's inability to find Hak Foo. What was not revealed was the location of Shendu, or the whereabouts of any of the missing Talismans. But the confirmation of their previous intelligence was enough, so satisfied, they began to escort Valmont away. As they raised him he shifted awkwardly and fell over. Out of his shirt pocket fell the Sheep Talisman. Valmont professionally seized the Talisman with his mouth and activated its power, soaring away from what he imagined was his imminent death. With only indifference, the Captain ordered what remained to be carried off to a legitimate cell and left to announce the news to the rest of Section 13.

Snake:
General Olaf: 1 (NinjaCow64)
Jarrema: 5 (Jarrema, Earthling, General Olaf, taillesskangaru, DaveShack

The group quickly decided to hand Jarrema the Snake Talisman, and then retired for the day. With any luck, tomorrow would see the end of their struggles with the supernatural for a long time to come.

[choxorn]

Hey, you know what I really don't like? Having an anti-townie role in a game based on something else, and not having anything I can reasonably claim without looking like a mafia.

 

[Takhisis]

You can always deny everything like a maniacal paranoid and hope for the best. Works a treat and if it doesn't then you still had your fun hamming it up.

 

[Kennigit]

I can comment later about other things but the main dislike for me is the elephant-draw-Role-PM move by the GM (posting full role PM for brother landlubber and myself, etc. talisman descriptions in role PM limited to "astral projection" etc. yet full mafia PM posted).

countered the town's stupid-dog-no-info state of attack!

gl shendu with croaching-tiger-townie loss!

 

[Verarde]

Ha...haha....hahaha.....


HAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Turquoiside]

Happily, no dead bodies were found that morning. Maybe all of the Dark Hand had been caught after all? Still, the sounds of Shawdowkhan heard frequently during the previous night seemed to suggest that Shendu was still around. Determined to find him, Section 13 began what was hoped to be its final morning. Before they broke up, Captain Black tested the Sheep Talisman briefly to ensure Valmont's "escape" had not robbed it of any use. Happily, he found that functioned perfectly and added it for the vote along with the Rabbit Talisman. He allowed himself a bit of satisfaction there, happy Valmont's hasty escape only served to damage himself.

It is now Day! Day Six ends in roughly 48 hours, 10 PM EST!

Verarde needs to die for having a name that I find so hard to spell.

No, seriously, he's uber-scummy.

Also, does Earthling have a Talisman? If not, Earthling for the sheep.

 

[Visorslash]

Vote: Verarde
Vote: Earthling

Seems right enough to me.

 

[Verarde]

Well, at least you spelled my name right. And if I'm scummy, how come there was no kill last night?

edit: Wow, Visorslash. Just following the bandwagon that fast, eh? Earthling for the Sheep.

Wait, how does that absolve you of being scummy exactly?
