Title: Mafia XLVIII: DC Universe. Day 4. The Life and Death of Lobo
Post by: that Baby guy on February 24, 2011, 01:12:03 AM
Story post. The best is yet to come.

Spoilers: It involves space.  Also, Lobo.  And the mysterious figure.

Death Results. *Now with minor story tidbits!*

ShyGuy was killed by the Joker. He was Lobo, member of the Space Mafia.

Jrlibrarian was not killed by vote.  He was about to be lynched, but as the Flash, he outsped the mob looking to hang him, even as they cornered him into the dead-end of an alley in Central City. As the mob of super heroes was about to grab him, he vibrated through a solid wall.  At that point, the hunt was called off, and jrlibrarian was spared his life.  Questions surrounding the flash will now have to wait a little bit longer to be answered.In layman's terms, we won't be explaining why jrlibrarian didn't die.

The Unagi was killed by the Earth Mafia.  He was a townie.

The shop is now open.

The Red Ring was purchased for 12 points.
The Indigo Ring was purchased for 8 points.

I lied, today is a Blue Ring and a White Ring, no Indigo Rings involved.

Blue Ring -- Upon use, the player's vote counts as three votes that day, but his or her vote will be worthless on the day that follows.

White Ring -- Brings one player of the winner's choosing back to life.  This item can be used any time after it was purchased so long as the person who holds the item is alive.  A player may not hold onto the item and try to use it after their own death. It is only for the revival of others.  When the White Ring is used, an announcement will be made about the revival of the formerly dead player.

Sundoulos won yesterday's roleplay award.

Everything about points earning remains the same as it was the day before.  The shop is now open.

Fine, fine.  Day 4.

I'm going to open up the thread now.  Point totals will go out a little later than normal today, which means something like probably 2:30 AM EST.  The shop won't be open until everyone has his or her points.  Auctioned items will be sent out at the same time as players receive their points, and the purchase amounts will be publicized afterward.

Well, I see my plan satisfied the Joker.  For anyone who's curious, these are the five people who did not pay back my point:

The Unagi
Vudu
GoldenPhoenix
Nickmitch
Stevey

They must all be the Joker.  Or not.

With that said, whomever the Joker is, he seems to be pretty active - he's figured out two different mafia members - and one was a Godfather.  Who have y'all been PM'ing so much?

On an interesting note, I told someone who reached out to me over PM yesterday that I thought ShyGuy was mafia.  Then, he gets killed by the Joker.  Weird.

LOL
Whats up with the constant wanna be pals?

I think the big downfall of this game is that not everyone is consistantly playing. Vudu is absent, Golden Phoenix jumps in long enough to vote, but no banter or giving theories. Stevey has said a little more, but not much. Stratos hasn't done a heck of alot. Uncle Bob has been obsessed with Joker points. The good thing is that there is only 3 mafia left and Joker, leaving 7 townies. We can take the game.

If I go down, I'll go down fighting, though.

While I think the Joker is someone who needs to be taken out ASAP (even more so since the message he sent me stated that I'd be allowed to live though the night... he didn't specify anything beyond that), I'm not sure the head of the Space Mafia is exactly someone who is trustworthy when it comes to this... :D

Curious though - yesterday was a tight race between vudu and Jr.  It swung towards JR at the last second - and he turned out to be a good guy.  Does this not seem to imply something about his opponent in that race?

I have a bad feeling that tonight is going to be a blood bath.  Vote, space mafia hit, joker hit, red ring, poison gas.  That's a potential of 7 dead.  We'd better get this one right.

lol... I should have read the rules better. I was unaware that different players had different point amounts associated with them.

Anyone care to speak up as to if they got the orange ring?  And if they're the Joker?

Note to the Justice League - be sure to use your phantom zone projector.  I'd recommend ShyGuy.  Whomever gets the white ring won't be able to use it until "tomorrow" - but ShyGuy can come back anytime - and we know who he is.

Rules question - does the Justice League get to target an additional person every day, or just one person each day?  i.e.: if they've had the projector for three days, could they potentially be targeting three people total, or just one?

Post by: bustin98 on February 24, 2011, 07:13:34 PM
Vudu hasn't even logged in since Monday. If he's using an alias, that against forum rules and would cause disqualification. Vudu isn't someone I'm concerned with right now.

And Shyguy can come back anytime he wants. He could be back right now for all we know. There may be other targets for the Justice League to be concerned with.

ShyGuy just posted in the dead thread -that means he's dead, right?

Right now, ShyGuy is the only one who can be resurrected - which is the only thing the Phantom Zone generator stops. If you know of any living mafia members, we need to target them with votes.  Dead mafia players can be considered tomorrow (I'd target Earth mafia, as I'd bet the Earth Godfather would be willing to pay a pretty sum for the chance to bring back someone onto his team) - but today, they're just not a threat.  The Joker would be a waste for the Phantom Zone generator - no one would use the white ring to bring him back and the black ring hasn't been sold yet.

Post by: apdude on February 24, 2011, 07:34:39 PM
Anybody else find it funny that the Cheif (Uncle Bob) here has been so close to being voted off or threatend by the joker and has somehow managed to skate by?  Another interesting coincedence is that those who have been against him have met an unplesent end.  Dasmos (while mafia granted) voted against him... bam dead... Unagi extorting him... now dead.  Also why did he just have 7pts yesterday.  Just for posting the past couple days he should have had more than that.  Perhaps he has been buying up some rings.  If he is not the joker, he may be "connected" in some way.  And now I'm probably next to die... it's been fun everyone.
 
Oh, also, a dead player's vote isn't valid, and won't be counted in the day's total.

Vote Uncle Bob

You forgot ShyGuy - he saved my skin, then died... Oh, wait, you meant people against me - not people who interact with me in any way.

Besides, Dasmos was killed by the Joker. Unagi was killed by the mafia.  I'm not sure exactly how I would have pulled that off.

Of note, a Justice League has been formed.  Many of you already know this.  The Justice League consists only of townies.  They have access to the Phantom Zone Ray, a beam weapon that hits a player, living or dead, of their choice.  The beam bounds the player's fate with the phantom zone, and prevents the player from being able to return from the dead at any later point in time.  The league will disband if a member dies.

But long answer? Yes.  A player hit by the ray will always be tagged with that status.

Thus, I restate my earlier suggestion that the League target ShyGuy today.  Now.  He's the *only* person that we know with 100% certainty that can come back.

Inside the JLA headquarters on the moon, people are having a conversation.
"I say we take this clown and make him frown.  Then we'll take him down." -- Sundoulos.
"Why's the Yank trying to rhyme now?  What's wrong here...?" -- Stratos
"I don't know, but I say we get the first teleporter out of here and head back to Earth. The planet needs us!" -- Bustin98
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHA" -- TJ Spyke
"My rhymes weren't that goo..HAHAHAHAHAHA" -- Sundoulos

Result: The Joker has used his laughing gas.  He targeted four players:
Bustin98 somehow managed to live.
Stratos managed to survive the attack and live
Sundoulos was killed by the laughing gas. He was a townie and a member of the justice league
TJ Spyke was killed by the laughing gas. He was a townie.

Whether or not the other two players are a part of the justice league or whether they were invited to the tower by Sundoulos is entirely unknown.  What is certain is that the Justice League has disbanded in Sundoulos's death, and no longer has access to the Phantom Ray Portal.  Naturally, they're still familiar with each other.  Sometimes they call whenever it's the night or weekend in order to save minutes.  Other times, John J'onzz helps them communicate with telepathy or something.  Oddly enough, upon a forensic investigation, a note was found carved into the Justice League's table. It reads "Everyone thank Bustin. -J"

Oddly enough, about the same time deep in the heart of the jungle, red blood melts through trees, foliage, and monkeys. The Phantom is seen running, in fear.  A Red Lantern catches up to him, his back to the frame of the panel so that readers cannot see who he is.
"Phantom! You shall pay for your selfish crimes to take over the earth!"
"No, no, no! Please! Don't kill the jungle!" the Phantom cries, feigning ignorance.
The red figure coughs up more fiery blood, hitting his target, who boils to death on the spot.

Apdude was killed by the player wielding the Red Ring.  Apdude was the Earth mafia member The Riddler.

Who used the red ring?  No one will ever know.

The players listed as dead above are now, well, dead.  Further participation in the day's thread is not allowed, and all bids toward the auction these players may have made have been canceled.

Bustin98 and Stratos were both attacked, and through some mysterious way, both survived. The three other players all died from deadly item usage.

Of note, the Joker is only allowed to use Laughing gas one time, and may not purchase it again.  He also did not receive points for these kills. Since he's already used it, there's no more of that stuff.

You also harped on about the Joker extorting points from you a bit too much. A little over-kill.

No, not at this moment.  Because the justice league ensures other players are townies, it would be too powerful if it would be reformed. If the Justice League does return, any player will be able to buy their way into it, and no one will have his or her allegiance confirmed.

Jrlibrarian, Bustin98, Stratos are either batman or superman
I'm a townie and the other two where in the JL.

That leaves:GoldenPhoenix, Nickmitch, Unclebob, Vudu uncounted for as undecided. Ub said he isn't a JL and he's not superbat which makes him evil.

Vote UB

There are 4 townies left, that would leave one unknown.

No, there are only 3 left.

Three left and two townies with roles, I believe.

Townies:

I've attempted to explain this to Bustin, but he doesn't believe me.  If I were the Joker, here's how this will play out:

You're going to waste today's vote on killing me.  Silly, yes - because it's very likely the mafia would kill me tonight anyway.  By killing me, you're guaranteeing they kill a townie tonight anyway.

Under this assumption that I am the Joker, you've got five townies/heroes/good guys left before the mafia hit tonight.  They know who Superman/Batman is (at least, the three people he could be), so they're going to hit one of the two non-hero roles tonight, dwindling your ranks down to four.

Meanwhile, it's very possible they still have the blue ring - not to mention the one up for sale tonight.  If we say that ShyGuy stays dead, they'll be able to use one (or both) of the Blue rings tomorrow to make the vote 4-4 (or 6-4, if they have both), killing another townie.  (Or even the Indigo ring that's floating around out there to adjust the vote).  Then, they'll make a hit tomorrow night, killing yet another townie.  Dwindling your ranks down to two.

And this doesn't take into account them getting the white ring or ShyGuy coming back from the dead.  That just increases their chances.  That's two more days you'll have to try to vote them out - and two more nights they'll have to place hits.

If I were the Joker, I'm your only chance at killing mafia members at night.  And your only chance to kill them with votes during the day.

The Joker is only one person - you only need two people to vote him out.  The mafia is three.  That requires a vote of four people.  How long can your five players remain with a mafia that can now kill every night?

Also of note; check the store - the Joker's bomb is no longer available - meaning that he can't use it again.

Two townies can vote out the Joker.  It takes a minimum of four townies to vote out the mafia.

Oh... and as you all are following Bustin's lead, let me point out - he provoked the Joker while having protection.  His chest-beating set the Joker off, getting two townies killed and revealing your other hero to the mafia.  They now know that JRLibrarian and Stratos are Superman/Batman (in some combination) and that Bustin is just a townie protected by Superman (which the Joker sent out a message to multiple players letting them know that he attacked Bustin with both kryptonite and the Perfect Trap before setting off the bomb - meaning the only way for him to survive is if he were protected).  Since Superman is still stuck protecting Bustin tonight, you can be 100% sure a townie will die at their hands tonight.  Bustin managed to save his own skin - at the cost of two innocent townie lives - and is now trying to hand the game to the Mafia.

Well, then... Let's try a different tactic.

ATTENTION MAFIA
I have eight points left.  Send me 12 points and I'll buy another piece of kryptonite and another perfect trap.  I'll use them both on Stratos tonight, allowing you to kill him.  He's likely Superman, but could be Batman.  Regardless, it'll only cost you 12 points vs. the 40 it would cost you to buy these items.  Then, you can use twenty points to buy the other item to use against JRLibrarian tomorrow.

And for the record, I just got confirmation on a ruling, if you're mafia and you think I'm going to screw you over by revealing who you are if you give me points - you can specify that you want to donate the points anomalously.  Just send them to thatguy, tell him it's a secret to everyone and blammo - you'll have yourself a dead hero by morning. :D
