"This checkers game just follows the same formula as the last few checkers games you've sold. All you've done is made the playing peices higher quality and changed the colors. It still follows the same gameplay as the other checkers games and its getting boring."
"Yeah, why can't checkers games have an epic story where it explains what happens when you reach enemy territory and turn into a king?"
"What if the checkers board was even bigger instead of the small one that it is now. What if the checkers board expanded into other boards like the chess board?
"I'd like a checkers game where the player fails."
Somehow, despite being dead, people still filled in what Stinky Pete would have said about the situation. I guess he talked that much. Still, it creates some awful plotholes and by the time we get out of them, TVMan had already reached for one of the many guns he sold and held it at the crowd.
"Now don't any of you city folks get any fancy ideas. I have no plans to go to trial. I've seen what this Judge Khushrenada is. He's a hangin' judge and ain't no judgin' lenient judge. So, if you'll excuse me, I'll just leave town if you think I am so guilty and we'll see if your troubles still persist. Which they will because your after another innocent man," TVMan shouted to the crowd.
With that he began to back out of the store. He reached the back door, swung it open and ran out. Outside the store, TVMan did a quick sweep up and down the street to see if anyone was around but it was empty. He started to run when a shot rang out and his gun flew from his hand. Having felt some great force on his hand, he looked down to see it had been shot. Walking out from behind a barrel was Sheriff Rock Williams, his pistol drawn and aimed at TVMan.
"Going somewhere TVMan? Or should I say, Col. Sancho Volente? Didn't realize I had finally caught up to you. You've been careless, Col. Perhaps you felt you had the town in your grasp. I know it seemed like that might be the case. But you forgot who you were dealing with Col. I never stop pursuing any criminal in my sights. Now, turn around and march to the courthouse," the Sheriff ordered.
By this time, the crowd in the General Store had come out back to see what was going on. Across the street, Judge Khushrenada and Saloon Girl Sally came out of the bar to watch.
Volente tried to figure out how he could get out of this one. He eyed his gun lying on the ground. He dove to reach it but the sheriff was too quick for him and shot the gun further out of reach.
"You're not getting it back. Now get up," ordered the sheriff.
There's no way I'm going to hang, Volente thought, I will not suffer such an indignity. Volente slowly got to his feet and realized what he had to do. He raised his hands in the air and by doing this, was able to pull out a knife hidden up his sleeve. Volente tossed the knife at the sheriff and then hightailed it and ran down the street and turned around the corner of a building, yelling, "The great Volente can be caught by no man. I will dance a thousand dances before you ever catch up to me."
Sheriff Rock Williams quickly dodged the knife but by the time he had gotten out of the way and then raised his pistol for a shot, Volente had fled around the building. Rock quickly got to his feet and ran after Volente. Turning around the corner of the building Volente had around, Rock came upon the Doctor John Baxter standing over an unconscious Volente and a plank of wood in his hands.
"What happened?" asked the Sheriff.
"When I saw Volente was going to try to make a break for it, I quickly grabbed this plank and ran this way to cut him off. As soon as he turned the corner, POW! Right in the kisser," the doctor explained.
"John, you are the best friend a sheriff could ask for. C'mon, let's take him to the judge," Rock replied.
"Well, I'll be jiggered. They actually caught an outlaw. And Volente no less. I guess that sheriff is good for something," Judge Khushrenada said.
"Unlike you," Saloon Girl Sally replied, tired of the Judge's attitude.
"You wouldn't say that after one night with me," responded the Judge.
"Ha. If you're anything like you are in the saloon, no thanks. I don't need an evening of you just staring at me all night," retorted Sally. Then she added, "Or maybe its my dress that's caught your eye. In that case, I'm sorry to tell you that it's not your size."
With that, Sally went back into the Saloon. Just watch out, the judge thought to himself. I'm still the law in these parts. In a foul mood, Judge Khushrenada ordered the hanging of Volente immediately. Hopefully, a hanging could return him to good cheer.
"Any last words, Volente?" the judge asked.
"Yes. Even though I, the great Col. Sancho Volente have stolen many things from these peoples, I want to let you know that your humble town has stolen my heart."
"Aww. Let's him go," someone from the crowd cried out.
"It's too late. He's already dead," said the Judge already walking away from the crowd. Indeed, hanging in the wind was the once and mighty Volente. Peace was returning to Stumbleton Creek Valley.

I write too much story. Its a known fact. But I just can't seem to help myself. Unfortunately, that sometimes means I think of all the writing I have to do and don't really want to do it. Thus, why I still have to update Day 3 and 5 for their story. And now I just need to conclude today's story also. Why can't I keep things simple?
Anyways, voting ends at midnight eastern. The quick list of what happened for Day 5 is as follows:
TVMan (Col. Sancho Volente) - Death by vote
Sessha (Bandit #3) - Black Heart Jack
The following people need to vote today or will die:
Crimm
Nuclearspeed
Stevey
Zach
That is all.

I'll post my suspicions over the remaining roles later.
EDIT: Props for working "POW, right in the kisser" into the story, Khush. I lol'd.

I decided against a tie vote, though it should lead to a Townie Win Still it would just be a bloody Mess, because 3 people would be killed. 2 Townies from the Tie, and the Killer is still out. But Hey, perhaps the Mafia will help with a tie just for one last big day. Or perhaps not.
I think I will be living this town soon to find my dear old Time Traveling Doctor Brown, and find my way home back to year 1985.

Hahaha, that would be the perfect icing for the game. Bloodshed, followed by more bloodshed, then a couple of key hits, then more bloodshed.

Honestly, what happened is that I got kinda sick of one innocent vote after another, and I didnt know if you guys were actually doing anything right. So I figured all I could do was watch you dig your own grave. But you happened to do right last night, congrats. Now why not keep it up by giving this townie a chance!?
Post by: bustin98 on October 15, 2007, 05:29:16 AM
Put up a screenshot of your PM from Khush and prove it, or PM it over to me. And don't lie cause I'll see through it.

Let me take a look at that telegram from Zach.
The stranger scans it with his xray vision
I'm sorry but its forged. The color levels behind the text do not match the document.
Up, up, and away!
SWOOOOOOOSH
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to side with the man in blue on this one. Nice try though
Post by: Spak-Spang on October 15, 2007, 08:24:30 AM
It would actually be believable....IF you didn't have a sheriff that has personally IDed more than half the remaining townies...wait correction ALL the remaining townies.
You should have at least tried to say you were the Killer, because that would have been more believable. Then you could of tried to make a deal with us...instead you went for the townie role. Oh well.
Anyhow, I will be hosting a Mafia game, and if anyone asks for Screen Capture Proof will be killed, or I will send a PM message the beginning of the game saying all Special roles are just normal townies so that this whole screen capture PM crap can't work.

Post by: Spak-Spang on October 15, 2007, 09:12:58 AM
Just look at Decoyman, he was able to gain complete townie trust in one of the townie mobs, and if there was no screen capturing then nothing would have stopped the Mafia.
Truthfully, this was one of the most exciting Mafia games in awhile...and the townies look to heading for a win, but my leadership did not help us win...actually it was the Killer that helped setup victory.
MAFIA KILLS So Far:
2- Killed by the Killer
1- Killed by inactivity
1- Killed by Vote
Townies are getting smarter, but so is the Mafia, and if the inactive Mafia member would have played, at this point in the game the Mafia would win.

Fine I admit defeat. There are a couple of things I would however like to address. First of all MY SCREENCAP IS NOT A FAKE YOU BAFFOON! just kidding about the baffoon part Did you possibly decide it was a fake before you even looked at it? You seem to not have noticed that I cropped off the date. Second of all, you townies are extremely lucky. If not for the blunder where our godfather had neglected to make a hit on the first day (DAMMIT TVMAN JK), and KS' absence, this game would be over by now. Just goes to show that the little things make a huge difference.
I will go with a little dignity if I gotta go. Lets make it unanimous Vote Zach

1)I played very poorly and made bad decisions that hurt the entire townie team, but I was acting to protect the few special townies I knew and keeping them from being killed. I felt it was my responsibility to them to protect them, and although the rest of my decisions were horrible I am proud I protected them.
2)You are right that if the Mafia played differently that we would have a different game, but we can say the same about if the townies played differently. If would have let our Bounty Hunter kill his original hunch we would have been better off. So, really that isn't a fair argument against us townies...and it would still have only been one more kill. We would still have enough votes.
3)This game was very exciting and had tons of twists. I had horrible luck with my investigations, except for finding the doctor and Saloon girl...but the benefit of the knowledge eventually caught up with the townies, because once TVman was found everything was put into place...we knew who everyone else was more or less.

Considering how you've lied to us already today, I think we're gonna take our chances. You may have been left with the mafia powers, so we're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Edit: I didnt think you would fall for all that bs about stevey being the GF, khush hinted that there would be a way to win (a longshot, but you cant blame me for trying) Honestly I dont think there was any way to get you to change your votes at this point (khush feel free to correct me if you think I could've done better). Infact I was not even told that I was the GF until after I admitted to being mafia. Though I doubt it wouldve made any difference. Also I was not Lieing in my first post about never joining an alliance unless invited.

Well it would be more convincing if the fraudulent message contained a timestamp that was similar to the time that you got your initial role. That's why I didn't buy it.
EDIT:
I didn't trust any of the screenshots in this game, and that was without being aware of that announcement. But then again I didn't ask for people to prove their identity to me. I left it up to me to look at their voting patterns (which look bloody obvious once you have a few days of information available).
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's a lot to how a person speaks/posts rather than what they say. Your "stevey is the godfather" comments seem rushed with a bit of frustration. Maybe that's how you post normally, but it came across that you were grasping at straws (which we all do once everyone turns on you) which indicated we were on the right track.
Good game though.

Being cool, calm and collected is what this game is about. The best players stick to a persona for the whole game, even when their backs are against the walls.
Your previous post (full of anger, jokes and spoilers) and then that post (trying to get out of it) are worlds apart. Either you admit defeat or fight tooth and nail. What I saw from those two posts is that we were on the right bandwagon rather than the Stevey bandwagon because of the massive changes of mindset.
