On the street below, Wandering had powered up as the unkillable Mike Haggar and was wailing on mdm with a large portion of plumbing. Mdm was the currupt cop with the stranglely punctuated name, Edi.E. Haggar then destroyed his car, too, feeling entitled to a "bonus stage."
Later...
"I guess we finally punched out pretty much everyone in the city," commented Cody.
"Yup. Just one thing left to do. I think th-" said Haggar, as he was cut off as he was killed by a falling, pants-less Belger.
"OH MY GOD."

Way to go Mad Gear. I really thought you were going to pull it out there. You came so close.
I don't know if anyone has posted this or if you know.
Stabby - Cody
Dasmos -Barrel
Stevey - Townie
Garnee - Townie
Wandering - Haggar, which Ty alluded to.
That's the remaining crew.
I can't help but feel had the barrel not brought someone back in the game, you might have pulled it off. You guys overcame some long odds but in the end, I think the vote history just caught up too you. That and forum profiles. mdm hid his but from the others, I was able to deduce who was mafia and who wasn't. Some people weren't showing up for days meaning they couldn't be mafia. Anyways, once again good game. It was nice to see some regulars and some people who get screwed over make it this far.
People like Stabby, Stevey, Wandering, Shyguy, Vudu and TVman were able to make it pretty far in the game. (Though Wandering did need help). Still, I'm happy that for once, some people didn't get screwed over like they normally are. Congrats every one. I'll see you next game. WHICH I'M HOSTING!

Yay, I really enjoyed this one. Mainly because I was a good guy and didn't feel helpless, perhaps thanks in part to Chuck Norris. And also because i got to come back to life and save the day.
I suppose other people might not've enjoyed it as much......
Oh, and sorry for doubting you, Vudu.
Oh, and thanks, Dasmos, for bringing me back. Even ig it was random.

The only side note I should add was at the end of Day 2. I really felt that Skull would take me with them so I debated blowing myself up and at least taking two with me. Talking to Bill, I learnt that Skull knew I was the bomber and so they weren't planning to hit me. So, then I felt safe and decided not to do anything. Then I find out Pryo decided to kill me for the heck of it and actually got the bomber on his first try. Anyways, the moral is that if I had blown myself up, the two people I was thinking of taking with me were rimmer and mdm. No reason but I really didn't know who they were, they were new players and new players usually get a good role like being a mafia member. Plus, after the Fool's Gold incident, I wasn't too trusting of new people.

Anyway, Khush, do you have any theme for your game yet? If it's not set in stone, could I make a recommendation for a new role? The Psychic: This person can interact with the spirits of those who have passes on. When someone is killed, the host PMs them and tells them who the Psychic is. The Psychic can on even nights use their supernatural links to investigate one person, but they do not find out what that person is, they give the vision to someone else. While the Psychic has the final say, it would be best to debate with the dead players. The psychic retains their powers after dying, they just can't vote anymore.

In other news, if you're wondering what is happening with the next mafia, I'll fill you in. Sign-up for it will be posted nect Saturday the 23rd. It will last for a week and close on the 30th with roles going out that night. We'll begin on Oct. 1, a Sunday. However, if this is a major inconvience for people, I can move it to Monday. I'd just prefer to start on the first as I'm available all day that day. Don't worry about telling me know if Sunday is a big problem. Wait for the sign-up thread. There will be a theme. It will be based on a Nintendo game. A franchise actually. That's all I'm telling you for now until next week. Voting will be mandatory. I just have to determine the time limit. Also, there may even be rewards for voting. Ohh, mysterious.
To Stabby, it's an interesting idea but I do pretty much have everything ready and don't want to add any more variables at the moment. I also have some questions on that role. What's to stop dead people telling the psychic all they know, including roles of people. Then the psychic might now exactly who they're investigating and which person to let have the information. Of course, the psychic could always get desperate and start callling out roles from the information acquired by dead people.

In the future I will rethink publically naming my entire Townie Superhero team. That was a bad idea but somehow we pulled through. Or at least be more sure of the identity of my opponents before hand.

Ok, here is the scoop: First of all, Vudu posted that he wanted all the townies to pm him to "play uno" so since I was on the townies side, I decided to play along.
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Me to Vudu) "I will play Uno with you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(he replied) "Do you have any proof that you're capable of playing the game?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point I was pretty confused, and this post made me wonder if he wanted to literally play uno or something weird like that. So I asked him, and he said:
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(vudu to me) "Apparently, there was a miscommunication. I'm attempting to contact the townies. If you're a townie, give me some proof that you are who you say you are. If you're not, get out."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I told him that I was a townie, but I could not prove it. I of course didnt trust him to let him know that I was Haggar, so I tried to convince him, and he asked me to send him the PM from super. At this point I got nervous and tried to weasel out of it without looking suspicious.
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(me to Vudu) "But How do I know your not simply a mob boss trying to figure out who all of the townies are so you can target the other mafia?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lame excuse, I know, and he called me out on it.
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Vudu to me) "You can't. (But wouldn't it be easier to figure out who's on the other mafia rather than find out who's not on the other mafia?)
All I'll say is that SUPER gave us townies a pretty good way of verifying who else is a townie. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're not a townie."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was trapped, and I knew it, so I had only one choice
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(me to vudu) "ACK!! You've really got me in a bind here. because I dont know what you are talking about. So if you are a townie, you will vote for me, if you are mob, you will kill me.
You seem to know something about the townies that I dont, so I am going to assume you are a townie. So, since my only other option is to say nothing, and have you think I am mob, I am going to give you my role.
I am Haggar, and am on your side!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was worried that it was a trick, but my only choice was to assume that Vudu was a townie. So that is how me and Vudu formed a fairly shaky alliance.
Quote
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Vudu to me)
Decoyman PM'ed me and is trying to pretend to be a townie. He's almost certainly not.
If you haven't already picked someone to kill tonight, and you have faith in my judgement, I say you get rid of him tonight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believed Vudu was a townie even more by now (and I was right) So I assumed Decoyman was mob, and had fallen into the same trap that I would have fallen into if I had not been haggar, added to the fact that Decoyman had been acting suspiciously that night, I decided to go for it. It would eliminate who I thought was mob, and convince Vudu that I was Haggar.
You know the rest.

Actually, this didn't happen. Looks like it’s time for another exciting pm retrospective
Day one:
What is going on here? Is WindyMan the bomber, stringing people along on false insider information, so there'd be a bandwagon against them the next day? Better lay low and abstain for today...
Day two:
Bill votes for khush - very, very un-Bill-like. Was he mafia? No, uncharacteristic of even an evil mafia Bill. What was he up to?
Better hop aboard the khush bandwagon to blend into the crowd. I think he may be the bomber, so I’ll hop off later.
I make a point about being a townie. Oh, hey, pm from vudu asking me about it…
Quote
to: vuduQuote
Your mafia role is townie.
Don’t want to give vudu the rest of the pm for fear that he’s a mafia member and will use it to con other townies. Oh, but wait, what if I could get him to confirm his townie status with me?
Quote
to: vudu
Your turn. Finish this sentence:
Haha, got your
Vudu says he can't finish the sentence, because he got another one. But he says he believes me because his note started with "Your mafia role is townie" too. I figure all the roles started with "Your mafia role is...", but don’t say anything about it. Vudu suggests we vote out Bill and see where that lands us, and also asks me what I think we should do.
Quote
to: vudu
hmm. Sounds good.
Meanwhile, Zach winds up revealing to vudu that he is the investigator. Vudu has told zach that he's pretty sure I'm a townie. Vudu tells me this.
Quote
to vudu
Thanks for the info.
Day three:
I have a hunch pryo’s mafia, might as well vote for him than waste a vote on ceric. Oh, yay, new pm. Decoyman has contacted me and tells me he thinks he knows what I'm doing, that it doesn't make sense to vote out someone we know is a mafia member when he's toast anyway. He says that he’s a townie, asks if I'm one, and says that, if I am, we should band together.
Quote
to: decoyman
Banding together is always good. I'm a townie too.
I voted for pryopizm because he voted for me yesterday. No insider information or deep reasoning. I didn't really intend to start a bandwagon.
Oh. Decoyman says he thinks pryo is mafia because he should know that it's not in the townie's best interests to have one mafia completely gone.
Quote
to: decoyman
Your reasoning sounds good.Also, I don't think there's any turning back now. Even if it means me getting killed for being a badwagon starter...
Decoyman says he's contacted Ceric, and says he told him that he doesn't think it makes sense to try to eliminate Ceric's mafia. Ceric, in turn, has told decoyman that he's given up hope of winning the game, and that he just wants to make sure that the other mafia doesn't win. Ceric tells decoyman that Bill investigated Mario, and found out he was poison. (We both think that poison is a bad guy role for awhile – which leads to plans to start an anti-mario bandwagon the next day.)
I decide I should try to bring vudu into this. It'd be nice if me, decoyman, and vudu were kind of team. So I bring him up in my next pm:
Quote
to: decoyman
Hmm, thanks for the info. Since mad gear will almost certainly go after ceric tonight...me, you and vudu should all be alive tommorow. Getting a bandwagon going against mario shouldn't be too hard.
Decoyman says he was thinking about contacting vudu after vudu made the call out to townies, but wasn't sure whether he could trust him. Asks if he has a role.
Quote
to: decoyman
He says he's a townie. If pryo turns out to be mafia, I'd see no reason to think he wasn't on our side.
MMm. You know, I should probably be thinking about squirming out of this pryo bandwagon. I don’t want to be killed for being a bandwagon starter. But…..Chuck Norris probably wouldn’t approve of such an action. Better not.
Meanwhile, decoyman tells me he realized that poison is a whore, not a mobster. And says that we might be able to use him to sway votes.
Quote
to: decoyman
ah, so he isn't. If pryo isn't mafia either I will become depressed.
Oh, hey, Vudu is telling me that decoyman contacted him, and that decoyman’s not a townie, but not necessarily mafia.
Quote
to: vudu
To-P? Dean?
Vudu says he's not sure, and explains that he didn't know the password ("Your mafia role is townie.")
Quote
to: vudu
Hmm. Looks like SUPER thought of everything.
I suppose I should be wary of decoyman. But then, I suppose I should be wary of you too...your pm could have said "your role = Belger", and I'd never know.
Vudu sends me a quote of his whole pm. There's the line about him being a townie, then an odd quote. Vudu also says he's told zach to kill decoyman, provided zach really was the vigilante and trusted vudu.
Quote
to: vudu
My pm had 2 paragraphs. DUN DUN DUN.
Quote
to: vudu
ah, that's what we needed. 3 people haven't joined the pryo bandwagon.
Uh-oh, pryo’s saying he’s the serial killer. Screw this, I’m not going to risk going after a potential good guy, time to default back to Ceric. Oh good, a bunch of people are following.
Vudu pms me a screen of pryo's pms that pryo pmed to vudu to prove he was really the serial killer (catch that?) Vudu thinks it's a fake.
Quote
to: vudu
Post it on the board so all may speculate.
Vudu doesn't, I come up with my own plan to ensure pryo is who he says he is (asking the real serial killer to pm me.)
Oh, what’s this? Decoyman's pushing to vote for someone other than ceric? Does he know something I don’t know?
Quote
to: decoymanQuote
TRUST ME, PEOPLE. VOTE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN CERIC. THERE'S MORE GOING ON THAN YOU KNOW.
What's going on?
He copies me in on a the reasoning he had already pmed to pryo, mainly that Ceric could be used to hit the other mafia, and that having him around was preferable to having only one mafia.
Quote
to: decoyman
Right. I knew that. The problem is: who's protecting Ceric? If the townies had a protector role, I'd be all for saving him. But since they don't, either Ceric is dead meat - or, as Pryo has suggested - is working with the other mafia.
I was for killing someone else initially, since I thought it would both give us more information (as someone's death often does), and help protect potential mario bandwagoners from being killed (since the mafia would go after ceric instead of any of us.) But mario turned out not to be mafia. And, as for getting more information from someone else's death...well, the townie investigator is still alive (Why scrounge for scraps when you can get a full course meal?) With both those reasons gone, I see no reason to risk a townie death by helping to get some other random person killed.
In short, I don't see any reason to keep Ceric alive.
Day four:
Bah, Zach and decoyman killed. Annoyed at vudu right now. Vudu pms me to say he thinks decoyman did get a pm that said “your mafia role is townie”, and just didn’t give vudu the exact wording. I’m not so sure.
Crap, bandwagon against me. It’s always harder to vote someone out when you have to look them in the face while doing it, so time for me to pm everybody that has voted against me.

ShyGuy says it was because vudu likes me and it’s obvious vudu is mafia.
…Damn, I thought that might be it. And I’ve been suspicious of vudu too – but it was hard for me to turn on somebody who was so trusting and working with me so closely. But that was probably his plan all along, wasn’t it? Get on my side, all the while killing haggar and and a townie with one fell swoop, trying to get pryo killed…yeah, it was all coming together now.
Quote
to: ShyGuy
Then why not vote for vudu?
I’ve already gone through one too many votes (Mario, ferny, blackfootsteps.) (Incidentally, vudu had followed me on every one except blackfootsteps.) But, I needed to do one more. Surely the townie team would see there was no case against me and change their votes to vudu. *Votes vudu.* ShyGuy contacts me and says he’ll see what he can do.
…But the votes aren't changing.

to: stabby
Why do you think I'm mafia?
Stabby says it's because me and vudu are denying it so much.
Quote
to: stabby
the mafia paradox: the more you defend yourself from accusations, the guiltier you look.
Stevey contacts me and says he thinks I’m either the cop or a townie, and wants me to help him get a bandwagon against Mario going.
Quote
to: stevey
mmm, okay. You seem to have a knack for guessing roles.
Nuclearspeed contacts me. He says Mario is, in fact, poison. (My grand conspiracy theory where Mario is mad gear Ceric is working with him to make people think he’s poison starts to crumble.) Nuclearspeed then says that blackfootsteps, the mad gear goon, is trying to vote me out and that he thinks half of the votes against me are mafia.
Quote
to: nuclearspeed
That sounds about right. Thanks.
…okay, so nuclearspeed is the investigator. I hope mad gear doesn’t figure that out. Anyway, better try and start a bandwagon against blackfootsteps. I hope nuclearspeed will take things from here, pming people, convincing them to vote with him.
Quote
to: stevey
How would you feel about going after blackfootsteps instead? I'm pretty sure Mario is poison.
No, stevey is convinced Mario is mafia. Damn. (Probably should have been more manipulative, telling him that I thought blackfootsteps is working with Mario.)
Day five:
Death.
Day eight:
Crap, why didn’t the barrel bring back Bill Aurion – master of guessing roles? Or nuclearspeed? I thought vudu was mafia! I have no idea what the hell is going on!
Calm down, Norris. First, try to hint that I’m the bomber so the mafia thinks twice before killing me. Next, let’s just read over everything and try to figure this stuff out.
Stabby contacts me and says not to kill him because he’s cody.
Okay, reading time. *reads* …wow, I don’t know why I didn’t notice this before, but tvman is definitely mafia, and mdm probably is as well. But just to make sure, I’d like to draw up everything that was ever said by the remaining players (not that hard – most that are left aren't the talkative sort.)
…Okay, looking over things now, it seems more likely that TVMan and stevey are the remaining two, actually. Better go with the one I’m absolutely sure of, first though. *votes for tvman*
Okay, now that I think I know who the remaining mafia are, I’d better let stabby know that I think he’s cody like he says.
Quote
to: stabby
I believe you.
Stabby says that’s a relief. Asks who I think he should vote for.
Quote
to: stabby
Just made a long post on the subject. I think TVMan is the person we're looking for.
There's still a chance I'm wrong, though. I'm pretty sure Garnee isn't mafia, but what if Dasmos is? Or what if stabby is? After all, the first thing I did last time I was mafia and a character was brought back to life was to contact the person who came back and try to convince him that I was innocent. But….tvman’s posts were pretty clear….
Oh well, even if Tvman is mafia things aren’t looking too hot. If my hunches are correct, he has 2 votes on his side…so we’d need one more vote from either Dasmos (who hasn't really been playing that much), or Stevey (who has been voting for a lot of innocents and may very well be the second mafia member.)
Quote
to: stabby
Now, if TVMan is mafia, his partner should spring to his defence, and then we'll know who he is.
If that doesn't happen, though....well, that'd be bad....
Oh, another pm, and it’s from…..Dasmos? He makes a point of referring to me as haggar, and then asks who I think he should vote for (because he hasn't been following the game that much.)
Quote
to: Dasmos
You're the barrel, then? That makes me all the more confident. I think TVMan is the person we're looking for.
Wow, I’m happy. This is shaping up great. ….except….Dasmos isn’t voting for tvman. Could it be that he was a mafia member, sneakily checking to see if I was haggar? Did I just unwittingly confirm that it was safe to kill me?
…Oh, nope, there’s Dasmos’s vote.
…and Stevey’s?! Oh, wow, this is too perfect. That means my original hunch was correct, mdm was the second mafia member (right…? Yeah. I think.)

Well, you seemed to have been too friendly, and right after I told you that you asked if Two-P and Dean had joined me, so I thought you were just waiting for me to spill the beans. Plus you didn't vote for Blackfootsteps.

Day 1
Me and Bill very quickly figure out that Fools Gold and WindyMan where one and the same. Send PM to Ty. Bill gets Ty's attention I do not. *shrug*
Day 2
Since are roles where now known it was time to go for the more useful alive then dead bit. Bill starts the Phoenix Wright Arguments and I follow Suite.
Choose to Kill TYP for the only reason that he argued against and hurt are train of thought. (At that point we only knew that Khush was the Bomber)
Day 3
Lost Bill. Everyone voting for me. I try to make the same argument as I did on Day 2 but for myself.
Day 4
Dead. Game then goes how I predicted on Day 2 and Day 3 until

Last Day
Somehow the townies make a great turn around and win.

Post by: Khushrenada on September 17, 2006, 08:58:05 PM
I read it and see there are like four votes against me and Vudu has this huge diatribe against me. Or quote rape some might call it. I'm thinking to myself, you idiots, Windyman was just revealed as a townie, we're obviously not mafia since he gave me the info and I made that clear. Then it suddenly hit me that it might be rather funny if a lot of people did vote for me. I had a giddy feeling until I got to TYP's post and he started a bandwagon against Bill. That seemed to get a few people on the right track.
So, I figured I might as well keep hiding my role for now and try to get myself in the townies good graces. Plus, I had a great idea of later saying I had info against someone, getting proved wrong and then having people vote against me for being a disruptive influence. Brillant. Unless, I was killed that night. The skull mafia knew they were going down. They might hit me and take me with them. What to do? Maybe if someone else hit them first.
Someone, like my biggest fear, El Gato.
So I appealled to him to hit Ceric, hopefully tying up all the kills and letting me live. But what if El Gato figured I was Rolento because of my specific appeal for him to use his ability. Better make a post appealing to all who can a make a hit. Later learn that Skull Cross will not hit me. Ok good, just have to worry about El Gato. But what are the chances he'd hit me. Dead by El Gato next day. Turns out the hit was just for the heck of it. Weep bitterly until I remember about the Barrel.
