Topic: Rogue Mafia: Day 10. The Offshore Oil Platform.

[Spak-Spang]

I have been talking to Khush about possibly new roles and rules for a Mafia game.

My idea was trying to give everyone a little power and place more importance on the voting...this would give townies more power in the game, and help balance things.  Perhaps, in the future we will see this version of Mafia played.  Perhaps not.

I know this post was a silly tease...but hopefully it will get you excited for a new Mafia game.  

This game was fun, and nowhere near as bad as people say it was.

We didn't recruit him

yeah, you stole his role instead, but you know what I mean ¬¬

(you could've recruited him, and the same would have happened.....)

[Spak-Spang]

Technically.  Mystic Gohan you were our last hit.  So I don't think you lasted the entire game.

The only two townies really still alive were Athrun Zala and Pale.

I dunno why...I guess because I protected Pale from the Slasher, but I didn't want to kill him, so I kept pushing to vote out and hit other people.  

[that Baby guy]

I think Pale told so many of us he was a townie that it seemed like voting him off would  look bad, and if you want to be successful as mafia in the game, you really don't want to waste your time on the townie rolls, unless they may be up to something/

[Sir_Stabbalot]

When I started this game, I figured that I wouldn't make any Garry's Mod comics. That changed when Pale refused to vote for himself. I really thought that the fact he refused to risk himself meant he had something to hide.

As you saw, I made some for when I was brought back. The model is a Ct_Urban retexture (Not done by me), the closest I could find to a Dark Space Pirate Commando (I love how I had the longest line in the player list). It was meant to rally the townies to listen to me(on addition to my "Apathy is Death" avatar), but it failed.

I was actually planning on making that Law & Order parody, but my death kinda screwed that plan over. Actually, the plot I had laid out in my head was drifting farther and farther from just a Law & Order parody. lemme see if I can remember most of it...

First, it would be a human Unit 34r walking to a house on a rainy night, all eerie and stuff since he's got his knife out and talking about meeting "an old friend'. A woman opens the door and screams, and Unit 34r says the equivalent of "Um, opps". It revealed the woman is a lawyer and Unit 34r's ex-girlfriend (let's call her "Daisy" for now), and they broke up over things like that ("Oh, the knife? It makes me run faster!" Old CS joke, btw). He explains he was part of a mercenary team sent to recover an artifact called the "Virtual Console", had delivered it but had not been given his pay. That artifact hunt scene would be shown as a parody of generic horror movies. The liar was a sorcerer (Vaati), so he couldn't force his way, and needed her help to get his paycheck.

Next begins the Law & Order court parody. Yes, lots of shout of "OBJECTION!" with finger-pointing at totally irrelevant times.  Unit 34r is about to win, but all of a sudden, New World Regime (NWR) goons burst into the room and open fire! Having left his large assortments of weapons at the door, Unity 34 is forced to defend Daisy with the only thing he has: a plastic spoon.  Due to his character shield, he takes out a few of them, but fall eventually. He wakes up in a hospital to learn that NWR has taken over the city and kidnapped Daisy!

Naturally, he grabs a gun and goes out to fight the goons Die Hard style. the "Stormtrooper effect" is in full use, with Unit 34r taking out wave after wave easily. He fights his way to the NWR headquarters, but while breaching it, he falls into the Virtual Console, and get transported 60 years into the future to find the NWR had created an Orwellian future.

It becomes a parody of V for Vendetta, with Unit 34 trying to find out if Daisy is still live. He finds her, but the NWR found he first. She's a mindless soldier in their legions, and Unit 34r is forced to fight this empty shell of her kung-fu style, before realizing he still has his Desert Eagle. He gains access to the Virtual Console again, and transports himself to right before he started time-traveling.

The last parts return to the action movie style, with him fighting his way into the HQ (careful not to fall in) to rescue Daisy. He finds her, and they begin to escape from the rooftop, when an attack chopper, um, attacks. Unit 34r is pinned down, and Daisy grabs a bazooka and destroys the chopper, but gets knocked off the building by the recoil. Naturally, he leaps off the building after her, 007-style. He catches her and uses a suddenly-appearing grappling-hook gadget to save them. when on the ground, Daisy says she's worried, as the NWR might still come back. Right as she says this, the building is wrecked by explosions from bombs Unit 34r placed. After shouting at Unit 34r for being so stupid as to place bombs with timers set so low they wouldn't have been able to get out and that these kinds of things are why the broke up, she starts to walk away. As she's leaving, Unit 34r says "Maybe it's a lunatic you're looking for?". She stops, turns around and smiles. Cue stereotypical kiss with a sunset backdrop. Credits rolls.

...Wow that took a lot of time to type.

Surviving the whole game on the losing side pretty much means I found you to be the most easily manipulated players who posed no threat.

You should have seen the message I got from him when it turned out that people got aboard his terrible bandwagon and he killed me.

It wasn't about trust, it was an inside joke between me and him. RAB didn't need to make a martyr out of me to go far in the game.

So when is tomorrow going to get here?

Anyway, I suppose it's time for another exciting pm retrospective.

Day one:

Quote
to: Khushrenada
Word has reached me that, if you put the lime in the Coke you nut, and drink them both together, it will make you feel good.

Day two:

I send the following note to every living player, except Zach (nothing personal - Zach has just voted for me, and I think it'd be weird to send him a note that didn't mention that):

Quote
to: ShyGuy, TVMan, Vudu, Stevey, Oohhboy, MaryJane, Pittboi, Dasmos, Sessha, Spak-Spang, Crimm, NuclearSpeed, 18 Days, MysticGohan, Thatguy, S-U-P-E-R, Mantidor, Garnee, Athrun Zala
Any ideas? information? leads? I am in desperate need of a clue.

I've had this theory for a while now that, if I pmed every single person in a mafia game, I couldn't lose. I've finally decided to try it out.

I know some people will think I was writing to them personally. I hope they don't feel manipulated and betrayed when I reveal the truth in my exciting pm retrospective.

Anyway, bunch of people reply, and they all basically say that they don't know anything.

Thatguy lets me know pale told him he was a townie. He wonders who might've missed their kill the other night - he says he thinks it might've been the mafia, because the mafia might be holding off to find out more info about people, whereas the slasher has to kill everyone to survive. He says he thinks the new doctor rule is a little one-sided. He says he's a townie. He says he can't figure out why either the mafia or the slasher would go after Garnee. He thinks Garnee wold be the perfect player to keep alive, because he doesn't play. He asks if I've found out anything about Garnee.

Sessha replies that he'd be happy to help, but it'd be good to know whose side I was on.

Quote
to: Sessha
I'm a townie. Whose side are you on?

(He says he's a townie too, and wonders what Stabby and Shift Key were.)

Quote
to: Khushrenada
Here's my message for tomorrow:

I have about as many valuable pieces of information as Diet Coke has calories. Which is to say, I don't have any information.

Day three:

Quote
to: Khushrenada
Ah, hello old friend. So I hear we're finally getting some information today, that's a refreshing change of pace. Refreshing like delicious Coca-Cola.

(Spak-Spang tells me that he's the tough guy.)

Quote
to: Spak-Spang
I'm the stoolie.

(Thatguy says that he's found something. Khush's numbers don't add up, he says, and either the mafia has two of something, or there are extra neutral players, or there are two identity thieves or slashers.)

Quote
to: thatguy
I'm a townie, as well.

You're right, khush's numbers are off. The extra player is probably just a roleless townie.

I doubt that the mafia intentionally held off on killing the other night. I don't think they'd have anything to gain by doing that. The mafia needs to eliminate everyone else to win. I assume it was just a mistake on the part of whoever failed to request a kill.

I haven't found out anything about Garnee's death, I guess we'll see whodunit tomorrow.

Quote
to: thatguy
Oh, I see khush has explained what's going on with the numbers in the players list thread. Forget what I said about that.

Day four:

(Sessha says to vote thatguy, because he's mafia.)

Quote
to: Seshha
What makes you say that?

Quote
to: Khushrenada
So. You're curious about what I, the stoolie, know. That's good. I'll reward your curiosity with a nice Vanilla Coke. Here you go. It's two years out of date, but still delicious.

I suppose I should also tell you what I know. Just between you and me, I think everyone should vote for tvman.

(18 days says that we need to get mafia members voted out now or it's all over. She asks if I know who the detective is, and what the stoolie is doing. She says she suspects thatguy, and that her MysticGohan vote was just a placeholder.)

Day five:

Quote
to: 18 Days
I have no idea who the detective is.

The stoolie has been posting messages. They aren't really interesting or worthwhile, but they're there, buried in khush's story posts.

I think you might be right about thatguy being mafia.

Then I see that the day five thread is already up.

Quote
to: 18 Days
Oho, I take back what I said about the stoolie's messages.

Zach votes for me again.

Quote
to: Zach
Can't we all just get along?

I have now officially pmed every living player.

(Dasmos asks me to elaborate on my reason for wanting a tie.)

Quote
to: Dasmos
Well, I was a little confused about my choice. I thought I was choosing between pale dying, and pale and mantidor and another person dying. I thought mantidor dying would be good because I had a suspicion that he was mafia. And I thought letting pale and mantidor take out another person would also be good because I thought there was a good chance they'd take out a mafia member. ...they probably wouldn't have, in retrospect, even though the mafia was likely behind one of the two bandwagons.

Quote
to: Khushrenada
You're thirsty for refreshment, and knowledge. You should obey your thirst by drinking Sprite, and listening to what I have to say. And what I have to say is this: before Sessha died, he gave me with the following message: "Vote Thatguy he's mafia"

Quote
to: Khushrenada
Sorry I was so late.

Day six:

Thatguy starts a bandwagon against me. I figure no innocents will fall for his arguments, and the only people who will join him will be his fellow mafia members. So, I decide to wait a bit before blowing his arguments wide open.

I realize I've made a huge mistake. Lesson learned: never underestimate a bandwagon.

Quote
to: TVman
I made a big mistake telling people to vote for you. I'm sorry. I realized I was wrong, and that's why, that day, I helped shift the bandwagon over from you to ohhboy.

Listen, we need to forget the past and get rid of the mafia before it's too late. We need to vote out thatguy.

Quote
to: Dasmos, MysticGohan, Spak-Spang, Athrun Zala, NuclearSpeed, Zach, S-U-P-E-R, Pittbboi
I've done some stupid things, but I'm innocent. Thatguy is clearly mafia. He's been defending the mafia member ohhboy. And sessha, who was killed by the mafia, and was likely the townie investigator, said he was mafia. Please, help me vote him out. The townies can't afford any more losses.

Quote
to: Khushrenada
WARIO LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waha, you didn't even know it was me, did you Waluigi? That's because WARIO IS THE MASTER OF DISGUISE. Actually, I'm the MASTER OF EVERYTHING, especially Mafia, or as I like to call it, WAFIA. Drink Coke.

Day seven:

Quote
to: Vudu
I hate to say this, but, I think thatguy might have been right the other night. It looks like oohboy's role was stolen, which means he might have been the scientist after all. If he was, a member of the mafia is now in possession of the scientist's powers, and we'll be in the dark until we vote him out.

This also means that thatguy might've been innocent, although he might not have. I see no reason to think sessha wasn't on the townies' side, and I can't imagine her making such a firm statement about thatguy's guilt if she didn't have something to back it up.

I didn't read thatguy's posts about this until after voting had closed, so I couldn't do anything about this last night.

I then see Dasmos has pretty much said the same thing in the thread.

(MysticGohan tells me he's not sure who to trust.)

Quote
to: MysticGohan
Well, I'm not guilty, but I wouldn't blame you if you thought I was. It looks like I was way off about oohhboy, and possibly thatguy. I've voted for pale, I hope I'm right this time.

I realize I've made a spelling error in one of my posts: "Augh, how can I be loosing? Wario never looses!"

Quote
to: Khush
You gotta help me Waluigi, I'm still loosing! Look at how loose my overalls are. If I was fat that'd be one thing, but my physique was perfect - I was slim and muscular. The fact that I'm getting thinner is a very bad thing. I'm malnourished, Waluigi. I need money so I can buy more food. You got any gold I could borrow?

Day eight:

I'm excited. I've finally found someone that I am 100% convinced is a mafia member.

Unfortunately, no townies are backing me up. Not even vudu.

Quote
to: vudu
This game may be stupid, but, if we win, imagine the tales that will be told of our great victory. The townies were blind, they'll say. And the mafia was seemingly unstoppable. But the townies never gave up! They found scraps of information, they worked hard, and, against all odds, they won!

Yes.

I'm voted out.

I couldn't play much on day seven. I feel like, if I could have, I might have been able to convince the remaining townies to vote with me, and I might have been victorious. Oh well.        

[that Baby guy]

You would have been voted out earlier if you didn't do that picture, anyways.

[Zach]

Hey, on the bright side, I didnt actually vote for you when you did die.  Pretty much I only really voted for you because I had no idea what was going on, sorry.  Anyway, I didn't really have any good reason.

[UncleBob]

Has anyone called the next Mafia?
I think I'd like to host one.  It'd totally be a mature gamer's Mafia though.  Lotsa violence, little story.  But everyone would have a role, no matter how many people signed up...

[ShyGuy]

Matchoor? Dibs on Kratos!

[vudu]

Dibs on one of the girls Kratos has a three way with.

So when's this game happening, then?
