[viscousmemories]

Welcome to the edition of Mafia - Game III

For more information, see About: Mafia

This thread is for active game players (listed below) only. Posts by non- or eliminated players will be removed.

All members may discuss the game in the Peanut Gallery thread.

This Mafia consists of 17 players, including the following roles:

Mafia
3 Mafia
1 Traitor (may kill 1 person in the course of the game)

Townies
1 Cop (may investigate role of 1 player per night)
1 Doctor (may protect one player from being killed per night, no consecutive protections of the same player and no protecting themselves)
1 Vigilante (may kill 2 suspected mafia in the course of the game)

The Vigilante: Nobody will know who the vigilante is, but he/she has 2 chances in the course of the game to kill suspected mafia during the night.

The Traitor: Nobody will know who the traitor is, but he/she will know who are in the Mafia and use his votes to protect them. The traitor may also kill one person at night in the course of the game.

This is a non-PMing version of the game. Townies should not be exchanging game-related PM's.

All game play should occur during daytime and within the game thread. There are no discussions at night in the game thread. When a majority has been reached 50% +1 vote, any player may call nightfall and all game play should immediately cease. Any posts made after nightfall may be removed to the peanut gallery thread. Any surviving Mafia can PM each other and mafia, the cop, and the doc and vigilante all PM me there choices for a kill, investigation or protection.

If you'd prefer, you may use email instead of PM to contact me: viscousmemories *AT* gmail *DOT* com.

She swung open the front door, pleasantly surprised by the rush of warm air on her face. The wet ice sparkled in the trees and small patches of grass were struggling into view. The unbearably protracted struggle between Lady Spring and Old Man Winter had finally come to an end, the former radiating with victory. Dorothy nearly floated to the mailbox, overcome with the joy of spring and prepared to face anything - even the horrifying gas bill she'd been expecting.

She grabbed the bunch of mail from the box and flipped through as she walked toward the house. When she got to a small brown envelope with nothing but the word "Urgent" in large red letters, her heart skipped a beat. The beauty and comfort of spring suddenly became cold and terrible. She tore it open.

D,

P and at least two of his men have disappeared, and we have reason to believe they're heading your way.

Be careful.

Cpt. X

Once inside, she stuffed the letter back into the envelope, lit it on fire and threw it in the fireplace. She picked up her sattelite phone and dialed the emergency number.

"Hello?"

"It's D. We have a problem..."

Daybreak

[cappuccino]

First one to check in. That was an excellent game opening, vm, this should be a good game!

[MonCapitan2002]

I think it will as well. Watch out for the bad guys. You know they are out there.

[godfry n. glad]

Greetings everybody...fine morning, eh?

[Sock Puppet]

If by "fine" you mean "complete with murderous mafia roaming about," sure. Let's get these fuckers. It's time for a town win here on .

[MonCapitan2002]

Yes it is. They are a menace and they need to be stopped!

[cappuccino]

No kidding, in both Mafia and WW games I've played so far, we lost miserably. Not this time. We, the townies, are going to win, I swear.

[MonCapitan2002]

It sucks doesn't. Too much like real life with the bad guys always winning.

[Joshua Adams]

Hi everybody.

Vote: beyelzu

Why? Well, we need to get the ball rolling, and he seems to admit in the other thread that he's a good bad guy and a bad good guy. I just hope he isn't the cop or anything.

[MonCapitan2002]

Isn't it a bit early to be laying down the hammer? Why single out beyelzu? Just because he has an anthropomorphized smoking penis as an avatar is no reason to demand his head.

[Joshua Adams]

It's not early to be laying down the hammer, because no matter how long we sit here no good evidence is going to accumulate until people start voting and defending themselves.

[MonCapitan2002]

Don't you see this is what they want? They want us to start calling for people's heads without anything to go on!

[Joshua Adams]

That's just how it is on day 1 and 2. There's no real way around it. Read the other threads here and on IIDB.

[MonCapitan2002]

Very well. I might as well start a bandwagon.

Vote: beyelzu

Sorry man. Someone has to go. It might as well be you.

[trillian]

Good morning town!

Beyelzu may find out today that people keep memories from a past game (when he was eeeeeevil!) which is really just as good as random I guess.

I like to get any super-low-flyers out of the way so I'm waiting for tomorrow to see if anyone pops up (or doesnt).

Remember to be careful not to lynch people before they have a chance to claim a role!(if any).

Hey, I remember you being evil, and you say that is just as good as a random vote, so vote trillian until something better come up.

[Nightson]

Alright, the beginning of the game is marked by random votes, nobody has anything on anybody at this point. Bandwagons are needed to cause discussion, but you don't lynch people based on absolutely nothing because "Somebody needs to die" Scum can easily and do exploit that. (It's different in WW where someone really does just need to die) Vote to lynch people (which is different from the early random voting) only when you have a reason to vote for them.

[Nightson]

Ohh, and I'll vote: Trillian just because I did last time

[Ensign Steve]

Hi! I'm a newbie and I have no idea how I should vote on day 1 so I'm just checking in.

Good opening, vm!

Oh no, you have to vote randomly, but random votes are not the same as votes later in the game, random (random equals anything not meant to lynch) votes are ment to cause discussion, later votes are meant to lynch.

[MonCapitan2002]

I see.

[Leesifer]

Morning all.

* Leesifer checks in.

I will wait for a few more posts before casting a vote. We definitely do need a town win this time though.

[slimshady2357]

Good morning all!

It doesn't really matter what you do at this stage, you're going to be pegged as suspicious for it later

"He/she was too quiet at the start, they're suspicious"
"He/she was accusing people to much at the start, they're suspicious"
"He/she wasn't voting enough at the start, they're suspicious"
"He/she was voting too much at the start, they're suspicious"

So do whatever you like

Me, I see some tells from MonCap already,

vote MonCap
