The Baby-Sat Club transmogrified one of Calvin's Classmates, a boy names S-U-P-E-R, into a dung beetle.
Spaceman Spiff fired a laser! FRRRRRZAP! The laser missed someone. The laser missed someone else! The laser landed on Oohhboy, one of Calvin's Classmates, who turned into a tortoise!
Last night, Calvin's Mom tried to mend Hobbes. She missed, her target was not dead.
Suzie threw a snowball! She hit Calvin's Mom, Golden Phoenix! It seems like Calvin's Mom will be knocked out for a while...
And that's the start of the thread! Story will be up sooner or later, and the post will be better formatted in just a few minutes.
Results:
Day 1's vote: No one was killed, because "No Vote" received the majority vote.
Mafia Hit: S-U-P-E-R
Spiff's Hit: Hit oohhboy
Calvin's Mom tried to mend a living target
Suzie hit Golden Phoenix
Players that died and their roles:
SUPER was a townie, oohboy was a townie, and GP was Calvin's Mom.

Three of them, in fact:
S-U-P-E-R (Classmate), Oohhboy (Classmate) and Golden Phoenix (Calvin's Mom)
Oh crap is this a bad start for the townies...

"Susie can choose to kill any player she wants nightly, with the exception of Hobbes and Mrs. Wormwood. Both Hobbes and Mrs. Wormwood must be alive at the end of the game for Suzie to win"
Guess who's not winning this game.
Guess who's dying tonight.
I beleive I even said that Golden Phoenix should be left alone and given a chance to play the game. Bloody brilliant people. Bloody brilliant.
If you are a townie or have a role, tell me today so I can at least get the alliance connected before I die.
Second, unVote Decoyman until he can explain his strange message to me.
I have an answer.

If we No Vote we are just giving the Mafia a free day of not worrying about being killed. Sure, there is Suzie to help us, but it will take awhile for her to find good information to prove good hits. But what really shocked me was that 3 people died...I guess I didn't realize that there were 3 roles that could cause death.
We can't afford another day like this. We need to start organizing. Khush has a good system for organization, but I don't know if it will work now.
I hate bandwagons. I am going to wait to vote later. I need to gather more information.
Vote Pale

What this means is that, now, if Suzie wants to win this game, she better start using her power to protect Khush (assuming he IS Hobbes) every night. Because otherwise, her chances at winning are slim to none.

I'll be tempted to change to decoyman, but for now i'm going to leave it as...
Arbok
Post by: decoyman on January 15, 2008, 06:19:14 AM
P.S. – Just a thought here, but... there are people who haven't voted or posted or anything yet. Is anyone concerned about them??? The last time Wandering was this deadly quiet, he was the suicide bomber. Other names to throw around, though, are Patchkid and Athrun Zala (though AZ did say he'd have trouble getting Internet access)...

Was GoldenPhoenix able to confirm this (that they had shared roles) before Suzie took her out, or is this all hearsay from Decoyman?
Personally, I'm not concerned about Suzie at the moment and more focused on nabbing mafia, and eventually the T-rex... but that will be tricky with his kamikaze nature (I'm praying Spiff nails him). Suzie being dead or alive is a non-factor for a townie win, so at this point one can hope she manages to score a couple of mafia kills from here on out.
Anyway, I will hop on the new bandwagon, but will change back if Khushrenada gives an update as to why we should still go after Decoyman.

ShyGuy x 1
I'm not sure what to think. decoyman had a nice bandwagon going against him at the start and then suddenly it disappeared except for Khush (the initiator). Since Khush hasn't been on today that might be the reason he hasn't changed his vote. Perhaps decoyman is the T-Rex? Hard to say. Regardless, I don't trust him. However, I do trust Kairon, so I'll go along with things for now.
But I don't like the fact that Patchkid hasn't shown his face in the game yet. VOTE PATCHKID

I had that thought as well actually, when Kush said he sent him the strange PM... but when it was mentioned that he discussed his role with GP I assumed it wasn't the case as according to the rules the T-Rex can't mention a role at all, even if falsely implied, by how it's worded:
Quote
This player is not allowed to say he or she has a role in any way shape, or form.
EDIT: Actually, here is a thought, maybe someone should compile a list of everyone who stated they had a role (Townie, Hobbes... I don't think any others were mentioned)? As by doing this we could narrow down who the T-rex is not.
Also, for the record, townie.

I think it just might... once we get a list of suspected "T-Rexs" together too, hopefully Spiff could select from there and do "shooting practice" until the dino was downed. I like your way of doing it as well, as it removes any doubt:
"I am the Tyrannosaur"
So yeah, could everyone be neighborly and simply state the above passage in quotes when they reply?
Post by: stevey on January 15, 2008, 09:28:54 AM
Wouldn't that be suicidal for the mafia to kill Hobbes since the T-Rex, and Suzie would both loss their only chance at the win and would be out for mafia blood in revenge?
Also never trust Khushrenada .

As far as rules go, Suzie would lose her chance at winning, but the T-rex would not.

Actually, I dont think that broke the game, by having everybody state "I am the tyrannosaur" it causes that statement to lose all meaning. Therefore, the real t-rex could say that statement without actually saying that he is the tyranasoar (if you get my drift).
But then that is too confusing, so your update to the rules is probably for the best.

You are correct, that was my intent, but the written rules and the intent of the rules are two separate things, and this needed to be cleared up. I had honestly believed that I had taken out that statement, but I suppose I forgot to before the game started.

Post by: that Baby guy on January 15, 2008, 10:07:52 AM
Edit: Not to mention, the game is designed to be somewhat confusing. Because you don't know everything that's going on, it can be very confusing. However, in this game, the roles are built to work around each other when used to the fullest potential, and the effects roles conjoined in this game can be very powerful, which would add to the confusion most of the mafia has. Part of this is so that players would reach out to find other players more, and the other part is to get players to think about all that could be going on more than the normal "vote, then stop playing for the day." I'd say the game is working very well, and neither side has a clear lead.

Fair enough, although all the same I think it's overly obvious that I myself am not the rex given my whole quest to find him and trying to exploit the rule before it was patched up. So I don't think anything I say will cause doubt there.

But, I'm not licked yet. Hopefully, Suzie will protect me. Plus, I can offer information to the mafia. If any mafia members played last game, they know that I would keep townies alive if they worked to the benefit of the mafia. And I'm willing to do that again. If the mafia keeps me alive tonight, I will give them information. In fact, I'm pretty sure I know who the T-Rex is. Since it benefits everyone, if they keep me alive, I can make that investigation and let everyone know tomorrow. Otherwise, I hope for protection to live and fight again tomorrow.
