Topic: Mafia XXXIII Punch-Out!! Round 1

[GoldenPhoenix]

   It has been around two decades since Little Mac took the Punch-Out!!  Heavyweight Championship. Since winning the title, Little Mac hasn’t been seen. After much consideration Mario, head of the Punch-Out!! Tournament decided it was time to have another tournament and stripped the title from Little Mac to hold a new tournament to crown a new Punch-Out!! Heavy Weight Champion. Mike Tyson, wishing to get back his glory days as champion has formed a team of his own. The title seems to easily be within his grasp after Team Tyson easily knocked out their first couple of opponents. This all changed though when a mysterious group appeared in the tournament, consisting of some of his former protégés, including the former Heavyweight Champion, Mr. Dream. What shook the Punch-Out!! World was that this team, seemingly led by the bike riding Doc Louis, was that it consisted of over a dozen Little Mac’s.

   To make matters worse, there were rumblings of a Punch-Out!! First, a female boxer who apparently was doing whatever she could to enter the tournament; even if it meant a few unsuspecting opponents had to take a fall to her devastating power. Not only that, but former Tyson Team member, Bald Bull, has resurfaced, which was compounded by the fact that there are rumors he is not in the tournament to win, but was there in order to show people what the Suicide Bull Rush really meant.  It appears he has had enough of being gut punched, and plans to get even!

   What is the story behind the mysterious Little Mac Clones? Who will become the next Punch-Out!! Heavyweight champion?  Is there more to this story then means the eye? There are so many questions to be answered, for now all that can be said is:

Let’s get ready for some Punch-Out!!

::bell rings::

The day ends at 9PM PST Monday.

Night actions are due by 10pm Monday night.

A few notes: Let's try to play this as a game. No sour grumpy faces ok?

[Stratos]

I was surprised to see it up already. Here's to a fun and exciting game!

[NWR_pap64]

The first day is always hard...

[BeautifulShy]

Sometime it is sometime it isn't Pap. It all depends on your perspective.

[blackfootsteps]

Suggest changing the name of the day to Round 1?

[Stratos]

Suggest changing the name of the day to Round 1?

Seconded. I like that idea.

[blackfootsteps]

Vote Stratos! Uhhh..wait...

[Stratos]

Vote Stratos! Uhhh..wait...

OK, glad that was a joke because I am considering vowing to bandwagon anyone that votes for you in the early game as a way for making up to you for pushing to out you last game. I still feel a bit bad about that one.

Poor little chomp doggie.

[blackfootsteps]

That's really sweet of you, I appreciate the sentiment!

[Spak-Spang]

Oh good, we are having the monday start, I was disappointed at the prospect of waiting til Tuesday.   Hate first day votes though. 

[stevey]

VOTE KHUSH!

[BeautifulShy]

Ah the customary Khushrenada vote from stevey.
Is Khushrenada Mafia this time around? I guess we shall see.

[Spak-Spang]

Its such a save vote for Stevey, because everyone knows it is coming and nobody can decide what it means if anything.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah I know Spak. I was just kinda playing around with my comment.

[Pale]

Well maybe we should try and convince Stevey that his repetitiveness isn't warranted by...

Vote Stevey

[Dasmos]

It's only Day 1, I have no idea about anything so I'm not voting.

Is there any voting criteria?

[BeautifulShy]

Dasmos if you don't vote for 3 days than you are out of the game. This stuff is in the players/roles thread.

[Dasmos]

I figured it would be, I just didn't feel like skimming the thing to find it.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Dasmos if you don't vote for 3 days than you are out of the game. This stuff is in the players/roles thread.

Yep. Basically all you need to remember is vote at least once in 3 days, and get in your night actions if you have any by 10pm PST (Basically one hour after the day ends). Those are the main rules when it comes to voting and using special abilities.

[BeautifulShy]

I figured it would be, I just didn't feel like skimming the thing to find it.

Dasmos different hosts have different rules so I'd think you would double check if there is anything different than the usual.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Dasmos different hosts have different rules so I'd think you would double check if there is anything different than the usual.

Yeah, I thought Drew's rule was pretty good in regards to voting so I stuck with that.

[BeautifulShy]

Seems pretty quite. I wonder if the Mafia is avoiding to vote today.

[vudu]

Seems pretty quite. I wonder if the Mafia is avoiding to vote today.

Of course they are.  Why vote when you don't have to?  Someone's gonna die either way, so as long as it's not one of your own why risk sticking your neck out?  (Especially when there's a bomber out there--don't want to hit him by mistake!)

[BeautifulShy]

I has only saying that to get some activity in the thread. Anyway I'm not sure if I am going to vote today. I might I might not.Depends.

[Pale]

Maybe a future mafia rule should be that if you don't vote you will automatically vote for a random person. =P

[Spak-Spang]

At least the bomber only takes out half the vote this time.  It is much safer this game to vote than other Bomber games.  If the townies find who the bomber is, voting with 4 people will only make us lose 2 townies to the explosion.  That is pretty safe. 

[NWR_DrewMG]

Hmm, I was out of town until about an hour ago, so I'm just now getting into the groove of things.

I'm going to flip a coin and if it says heads then I will...

vote stevey

[Mop it up]

Throughout the ages, there have always been exceptional individuals with immense talent who create circumstances to challenge their abilities. There have also always been people like me, a generic audience member, who have traveled from near and far to spectate these events. We are what make these people stars, because without us, you boxers would be nothing but two dudes having a fight over nothing.

Vote Stratos

I lied when I said I wouldn't swear vendetta. I want it.

[Spak-Spang]

Temporary vote Stevey

For right now I just want to get a vote on record, and Stevey I have always thought was wreckless and dangerous as a townie.  Too many wild accusations.

[BeautifulShy]

Hmmm I think I'm going to Vote Dasmos

Just a hunch at this point.

[NWR_pap64]

Vote Stevey

Temporary vote until I see more suspicious activity.

[Gylldas]

You whippersnappers don't know who you're up against!  That title is as good as  mi.. *SNAP*

Ohhh me back!!!  Hold that thought.  MEDIC!!! I NEED A MEDIC!!!
*collapses*

===

A few moments later...

Medic:  *Ahem* I'm afraid to say that Mr. Jay will be unable to participate in today's vote.  At the moment it doesn't look like he'll recover in time for his mat..

HOLD IT LASSY!!  ONCE THESE PAIN MEDS KICK IN I'LL BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH LIKE THAT THERE TITANIC BOAT!!!

[Mop it up]

You know, we could really stretch this game out if nobody voted until the third day.

[Stratos]

Hm,

Stevey-4
Khush-1
Stratos-1
Dasmos-1

Steveys 'winning'

[Mop it up]

I was only joking about swearing vendetta, Stratos. I was trying to ruffle your feathers but it didn't work.

[Stratos]

I was only joking about swearing vendetta, Stratos. I was trying to ruffle your feathers but it didn't work.

I have a will of steel.

Gotta know when to counter a punch and when to or block or dodge it instead.

[Mop it up]

You mean that if I really were swearing vendetta on you, you wouldn't care?

[Stratos]

No.

I called your bluff and I didn't blink. 
"Turned the knobs and I called your bluff, I went over the edge of the world"

So is anyone snooping out mafia? Do we have any leads or should I just vote stevey like everyone else?

[Mop it up]

Oh, so you didn't think I was being serious? C'mon, I'm tough, I can be a meaniehead too sometimes! Maybe I really will swear vendetta on you just to show you my wrath!

*spills milk on your floor*

Ha! Now you have to clean up that mess! Get to it.

*taps foot*

You going to clean that up or what?
...Fine, fine, I'll take care of it. But I'm not going to sing whilst I do it!

*mops the floor in silence*

[BeautifulShy]

Well Stratos I think if stevey is mafia than I would think that they would try and save him. Has anybody contacted him yet?

[Stratos]

Oh, so you didn't think I was being serious? C'mon, I'm tough, I can be a meaniehead too sometimes! Maybe I really will swear vendetta on you just to show you my wrath!

*spills milk on your floor*

Ha! Now you have to clean up that mess! Get to it.

*taps foot*

You going to clean that up or what?
...Fine, fine, I'll take care of it. But I'm not going to sing whilst I do it!

*mops the floor in silence*

Your cute when you try to be tough.

@Maxi
It is a strangely quiet day compared to last time. Stevey might really be KO'd at this rate.

[Mop it up]

You mean "you're". HA! I corrected your grammar! See how mean I can be?

...Actually, Spak-Spang has been giving me a bad vibe, I don't trust that guy.

Vote Spak-Spang

[nickmitch]

Stevey bandwagon?  I dunno.  I figure one of these days, he'd actually be the bomber, instead of just using the penguin avatar.

[blackfootsteps]

Yep a particularly evil host, one who didn't subscribe to the random roles 'rule', would do well to give the bomber role to Khush or stevey.

[stevey]

Typical Khushrenderain Mafia strategy; kill the guy who's online only once a day (with a broken laptop) and can't possibly articulate a defense to counter-bandwagon him in time to save himself.... 

Stevey bandwagon?  I dunno.  I figure one of these days, he'd actually be the bomber, instead of just using the penguin avatar.

How I long for that role....

[stevey]

If I had a mafia, Khushrenada would already be dead.
If Khushrenada had a mafia, I would be bandwagon.

Wake up people!

[Stratos]

Hmm...
Curious that Khush, a man with a hand in every cookie jar and a bid in every ring match has been silent this far. Did he say something about this absence or is he laying low? He mad a whole lot of racket last time.

[ThePerm]

i dont know who to vote for so im joining the second wagon and vote stratos! damn stevey is always bandwagonned, isn't that what happened last time?

[Nick DiMola]

I still have no idea how to play this game. I guess

Vote stevey

since everyone else is doing it.

[BeautifulShy]

Could I get a vote count?

[Stratos]

Stevey-5
Khush-1
Stratos-1
Dasmos-1
Spak-1

Why does Perm hate me so? I was his friend and savior last game and this is how he thanks me?

to you Perm. You have an issue with me, confront me face to face, mano-a-mano and we'll settle this like men, in the ring!

[Dasmos]

Could I get a vote count?

Do it yourself. Lazy.

Hmmm I think I'm going to Vote Dasmos

Just a hunch at this point.

I don't get it. Is it worth a retaliation vote? Probably not.

[Dasmos]

Stevey-5
Khush-1
Stratos-1
Dasmos-1
Spak-1

Bah, Stratos! I'm sure Maxi can count. We don't honestly need a vote count every few votes cast.

[vudu]

Curious that Khush, a man with a hand in every cookie jar and a bid in every ring match has been silent this far. Did he say something about this absence or is he laying low?

He said in the sign up thread that he wouldn't be around today or Wednesday.

[BeautifulShy]

Vudu:He was on earlier.Not a word out of him.

Dasmos: There is a hour left I was just wanted to see the votes.

[Stratos]

I thought he said something like that, I just couldn't remember for sure.

Though he did log on today, just didn't say anything. Considering that there still is a wee bit of suspicion.

May as well also remind people that after today I'm only going to be able to log on once a day when I go to the coffee shop for internet. I'm not making multiple trips in one day there but I will be on for a few hours there typically unless I don't go once.

Yikes, I'm scared to go a day without checking this, what if I get bandwagoned off while I'm gone? I couldn't defend myself. Maybe I should give someone my phone number so they could call me if I need to rush on and defend myself.

[Pale]

Well if we are voting stevey off we need to make the lesson abundantly clear...

Stevey, I started this bandwagon so you'd stop voting for khush on the first day EVERY TIME! =P

[Stratos]

But that's his trademark! It adds all kinds of interest to the game.

I think your just using it as a front to out him, but we'll see come tomorrow.

I vote Perm since he voted me for apparently no reason. I challenge him to a match in the ring!

[Pale]

Heh, no front here... he could very well be townie... how could anyone have any clue?  I just think its rude to start somethigng with Khush EVERY game...

[Stratos]

Heh, no front here... he could very well be townie... how could anyone have any clue?  I just think its rude to start somethigng with Khush EVERY game...

Remind me to not do the same thing if anyone stabs me in the back and I declare eternal V for Vendetta on his butt when you are also playing with us. 

[oohhboy]

Vote Stevey

Every time I get killed Khush is the only one smart enough to know who I am and possibly save me. But time and time again he is already dead. I am voting to keep Khush in game so we can play intelligently. He maybe Mafia, but that is a risk I am willing to take. I am protecting him so he can protect me.

[stevey]

Pale is mafia.

Punch Pale in the face!

[Stratos]

Vote Stevey

Was that a real vote? because you didn't bold it. Don't you have to bold it for it to count? Or did you already vote and this was you telling other people to do the same?

[BeautifulShy]

How sure are we of this vote?

[Stratos]

It's 5 for stevey, 6 if we count oohhboys unbolded vote and there is no clear second, only a few with one vote each so unless there is a mass 20-minute revolt then it's curtains for stevey.

[Dasmos]

How sure are we of this vote?

We can't be sure of this vote or any other vote at this stage, that's the way Day 1 works sadly.

[stevey]

Lacus's words are alway bold!

With my last breath I blame maxi!

later... >.<

[Stratos]

I didn't look at his question that way. Good point and that's why I won't join it. I don't want to KO a townie for a silly little lesson I don't even agree with.

[GoldenPhoenix]

OK in less then 15 minutes it will be time to put those boxing gloves away!

[BeautifulShy]

Times up.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Times up.

I Know, I'm trying to figure out where I find the "Lock thread" option! LOL so embarrassing.
