BeautifulShy

ThePerm
Nickmitch

Silenced
Stevey

[NWR_insanolord]

Are we doing 48 hour days or regular, and is the majority rule in place?

[pokepal148]

Oh, I suppose we'll do the 48 hour day period with a majority. Those usually work out well.

[BeautifulShy]

So majority would be 8 for today.

[BeautifulShy]

Like I said in the signup thread I will vote for Khushrenada for today.

Vote Khushrenada

[ThePerm]

Alright, so this game is going to start off with a bang! I've thought about playing the game like this before, but didn't want to risk it. I wasn't sure how soon I'd get the opportunity. This time I want to risk it.

I am the killer again.

If there is a doctor around. You need to put protection on me.

 An additional person will be voted out each night. I want all users to PM me with a vote. The person with the most votes by players will be Killed Off.  The votes will be private though unlike the public wall.

Townies. Detective contact me. Doctor contact me. If the detective wants to research me they can. Though, It might be a wasted night action since you already know.

This is not an April fools joke. Although I'm suspicious everyone is a killer.  That would be a crazy game twist.

This is going to be a fun...

[NWR_insanolord]

Pokepal does seem like the kind of host who'd put his hand on the scale and hand out roles like that to troll people, even without the pretext of being an April Fools game, so that almost seems likely in hindsight.

[pokepal148]

Unclebob apparently did an all killers game like a decade ago and there's no way I'm going to do the exact same thing he did. I'm way more original than that.

[BeautifulShy]

I mean how likely is it that there is more than one killer this game?  I am not really sure if that could be the case this game.  We shall see how this plays out going forward.

[pokepal148]

Nah actually ThePerm is totally the killer and we should vote him out. vote ThePerm

[NWR_insanolord]

Wait, is that the April Fools twist, that Pokepal is actually playing in his own game? If so, Vote Pokepal148.

[Khushrenada]

Why do people think there is a Mafia game happening? It's April 1st and the host is pokepal148. Obviously this isn't real. As if he could ever host a game or that anyone would actually sign-up to play it. At least, that's what Thatguy tells me...

[Khushrenada]

Like I said in the signup thread I will vote for Khushrenada for today.

Vote Khushrenada

What terrible April Fools Joke is this? You never said that.

The other one was so fast. Im in.

Oh good I get to vote for you on the first day for killing me the first day.

Clearly, ThePerm is who BeautifulShy said she'd be voting for on Day 1.

How can you trust someone who won't keep on Horsez'n around?

un-Vote BeautifulShy

Also, I hope everyone sent in their hits on the killer and mafia from last game to get revenge and not on the good honest townie who worked to avenge their deaths..... *tugs collar and glances nervously around the room*

[BeautifulShy]

I initually said that but I said to myself it would be more beneficial to vote you out first for everyone sake.  Perm can wait.

[ThePerm]

I had my suspicions this might not be a mafia, and be a total ruse. But I'd rather play a game of mafia than not.

also, it's a lot of trouble for a game runner to send out a bunch of pms to a bunch of people.

[Khushrenada]

I've got a better idea. Let's majority vote out Stevey. I'm sure we can get 8 people to quickly shut this day down and get to the wild west of night action where all the crazy of this game will be. Let's do that instead.

Vote Stevey

[ThePerm]

Also, a note. I want people to send me PMs on who they want to kill ASAP.  Because once I give Pokepal my night action then that is it. That's all I'm going to do that night. I'll watch a movie or something.

[NWR_insanolord]

I guess I'll Vote Stevey to move this thing along.

[ThePerm]

vote Stevey you better not be the doctor.

[Khushrenada]

That's three. Insanolord should unbold his pokepal vote just to make sure there isn't a conflict though I doubt that would be the case. (Or would it....?)

You getting in on this stevey action, BeautifulShy?

[BeautifulShy]

Probably not. I want to give people another option and to get more activity in the vote from others.

[stevey]

I've got a better idea. Let's majority vote out Stevey. I'm sure we can get 8 people to quickly shut this day down and get to the wild west of night action where all the crazy of this game will be. Let's do that instead.

Vote Stevey

Do I smell fear? Vote Khush

[Khushrenada]

Who cares about others? Just eliminate them with our hit abilities. HAHAHAHA!

[Khushrenada]

Vote Stevey

Do I smell fear? Vote Khush

Oh! Stevey's here? Well, let's see. With stevey, myself, Insanolord, ThePerm and BeautifulShy around then that makes 5. Maybe ShyGuy shows up for 6. Should we all vote someone else to speed this along and get closer to that majority?

[Khushrenada]

Also, how many people are playing? The list shows nickmitch twice:

Lolmonade
BeautifulShy
MASB
Khushrenada
Shyguy
Nickmitch
NWR_Insanolord
ThePerm
Nickmitch
Steefosaurus
Silenced
Stevey
Stratos
Mop it Up
Lucario


If nickmitch gets a second life then I demand one too! And where are the rules and roles? What kind of hosting job is this? There isn't even a story. Am I hosting this or something?

[BeautifulShy]

Who cares about others? Just eliminate them with our hit abilities. HAHAHAHA!

Hit abilities? Only Mafia have hits. Nice job outing yourself.

[Khushrenada]

Wait a sec! BeautifulShy's post just made me realize something about this post by ThePerm:

I am the killer again.

Am the killer? Only the killer would have the killer role. Nice job outing yourself.

[pokepal148]

The role list is on the sign up thread.

[BeautifulShy]

Wait a sec! BeautifulShy's post just made me realize something about this post by ThePerm:

I am the killer again.

Am the killer? Only the killer would have the killer role. Nice job outing yourself.

Would it be beneficial for the Mafia throw the killer under the bus this early so they are the only one who can get rid of players during the night? I think so.     Or is it that you think there are multiple killers in this game? Which is it Khush?

[pokepal148]

Technically there are multiple killers in this game according to the role list. It's just one of them is called the godfather for some reason and has some lackeys.

[Khushrenada]

I think pokepal is doing a poor job of hosting. He's got nickmitch listed twice, he didn't post anything about the majority rule being in play and it seems he's like a lot of players have ended up with the same role of townie lol.

[Wah]

Sure why not? Vote Stevey

[MASB]

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high...

Sigh. Love that song. Joe Cocker, you the man!

Oh, hey guys. Jon Lindemann here. I play that at the club when I DJ and we need a slow song. I'm not all Ice-T, all the time, after all. Yeezus bless him!

Anyway, James Jones texted me saying I needed to play Mafia. I said "James, I already played that GoD joint years ago. It was good, I enjoyed it, but I collect XBox Originals, I don't replay them." He said he meant that NWR was running its own mafia game. I took a look and Mafia 80... damn! I'm way behind! Oh well, what's another 79 games on the backlog, am I right?

James said we have to vote people out. Like Survivor, but with a much higher class of folks. I'm a little uncomfortable having to vote against forum goers. I'm about the love, man! I'm all love. Don't hate, appreciate, you get me?

But James, my best friend, did I mention that?, BFF James Jones, said that Sarah from Iowa City is among the mafia and she's out for blood this time. I guess Jonny's care package didn't make it back in '08. She's been stewing on it. Hmmm. Stewing? Look, I'm a simple man and I've got to go with my gut. I vote Stevey.

Now please excuse me, my Destiny 2 clan Ezy Ryders need me to tank them to victory!

[lolmonade]

Khushrenada complimented me for doing well last game.  I don't do well with praise.  Vote Khushrenada.

[ShyGuy]

Why does Perm have a ShyGuy avatar? Is he trying to steal my style?

[ShyGuy]

oh, and UNVOTE KHUSH! VEDETTA!


I'm negotiating a high stakes deal.

[BeautifulShy]

Vote tally

Khushrenada: 6
Stevey:6

[Khushrenada]

oh, and VOTE KHUSH! VEDETTA!

For what? I did not kill you last game. I avenged your death. Took out the mafia and saw the townies win in tribute to your memory and untimely death. What is there to VEDETTA me for?

[Mop it up]

Vote Stratos

It's time to make a fool of you once and for all!

[ThePerm]

Vote Khush

Khush is being too suspicious. Which, I think is like a 1 in 30 chance.

[ThePerm]

Why does Perm have a ShyGuy avatar? Is he trying to steal my style?

This is a Nintendo forum. In this game I'm the killer so I went with Ghostface crossed with Shyguy.

[Khushrenada]

Vote Khush

Khush is being too suspicious. Which, I think is like a 1 in 30 chance.

Suspicious how? I'm suspicious every game. That's no reasoning. Besides BeautifulShy is obviously Mafia since she's pushing so hard to get me out early. So, if you want to vote for a "proper target" then there you go. But I don't care. This is not a game to take seriously. If you are doing that then you don't understand this particular version that pokepal is running.

Why does Perm have a ShyGuy avatar? Is he trying to steal my style?

I guess now we now who wore it better....

[pokepal148]

Do we? Let's take it to the polls.

[Mop it up]

Yet another game with a day one Khushrenada bandwagoning? That makes things too easy, I don't think I want to be a part of that.

Vote stevey

Why is there a stevey bandwagon anyway? The one these votes should really be for is lolmonade!

[Khushrenada]

Back to 5 votes for Stevey. If ThePerm would go back to his original Stevey vote then that would make 6. Maybe lolmonade or ShyGuy would like to consider changing their vote to bring us to that magic 8. Or stevey could to. I'm willing to work with him too on this.

[Silenced]

Well hey, Khush already being voted off makes this feel like business as usual. But at the same time, he's consistently been the easiest target in the game so I don't know exactly how to feel about this. Too easy to jump on the bandwagon/get a threat out early under the guise of vendetta voting.

Withholding for now, I'm not sold on either of these top choices.

[ShyGuy]

Wait, is there more than one killer?

https://youtu.be/OIQ36Q3SSeY

[Silenced]

I'm partial to The Dillinger Escape Plan, but that gets the job done.

[Order.RSS]

For now I'll join the vote stevey bandwagon. But considering to switch it to ThePerm, feel like we should call this bluff ya know?

[nickmitch]

I am taking a break from my vacation to stay true to my word and vote Khush.

Because of this, you may trust my honesty going forward. Obviously.

[Mop it up]

I'm pretty sure that Silenced is the killer, it would fit with his current hands-off approach.

[Silenced]

I feel like I'd get accused of this even if I was posting on every page. Bit of an overused pointer.

[Khushrenada]

I am taking a break from my vacation to stay true to my word and vote Khush.

Because of this, you may trust my honesty going forward. Obviously.

Aw c'mon. Voting for me only last game did you no good. I would humbly suggest that since the strategy failed last game then perhaps you might wish to try the opposite and work with Khushrenada on the vote. Why follow a path that leads to failure when you can follow one that will lead to all your wildest dreams coming true?

[Mop it up]

I'm pretty sure Khushrenada is the killer and that's why he's trying so much to get the heat off.

[ThePerm]

What's the vote tally?

Also, people if you want someone out. Send me a PM.

[BeautifulShy]

If nothing has changed since I last checked it is a 6 to 6 tie between Khushrenada and stevey.

[BeautifulShy]

Good thing is we have another 25 hours left to get more votes in.

[Stratos]

Wait, is that the April Fools twist, that Pokepal is actually playing in his own game? If so, Vote Pokepal148.

That was always my hidden rule in every mafia game I hosted. If the players voted out the host, something crazy would happen like another player getting to take over host duties. I've dropped hints over the years I was open to this, but I guess everyone was always more interested in playing the game instead of turning it into a meta defining god killer moment.

Now you are making me want to your old games and look over them.  I always thought that Bill Aurion's Animal Crossing game was the only one.

[Khushrenada]

I already did because I don't believe that claim. I could expose Stratos but I could use his vote. So, to keep me silent, all Stratos has to do is vote Stevey.

[Stratos]

It all originated in my musings for the Eternal Darkness mafia. Because of how the old gods/spirits fought each other, I wanted to make a sort of dueling host situation, where each side could help their team but only indirectly. I think every game since I had an unspoken rule that I would do something like cede host-ship to another player if I was voted out. I was never flat out explicit in saying as such, but I periodically commented about how I'd like to see a host voted out. I thought for sure someone crazy enough would have started a bandwagon against me, especially if I ever messed up in a rule verdict or something.

If I showed you proof counter to this statement, will you then vote for Stevey? Basically, what do I have to do to get you to vote Stevey? At this point, only you and Silenced are the only players not to vote yet.

[ThePerm]

vote stevey

not sure if it is a wise idea, but im trying it

I saw your PM, and I was going to vote for Stevy to save you, I'm just making you stew a bit.

[Stratos]

Vote stevy cause I'm sympathetic to Khush getting targeted on day one all the time, even if it is hit-or-miss if it ends up benefiting anyone other than himself.

[Khushrenada]

vote stevey

not sure if it is a wise idea, but im trying it

Now I'm glad I voted for you in the "Who wore it better poll"! Way to go!

Vote stevy cause I'm sympathetic to Khush getting targeted on day one all the time, even if it is hit-or-miss if it ends up benefiting anyone other than himself.

Woo! What a pal! Just for that, I'll agree that the option to vote out out as host has always been there and there has never been a game where a player suggested doing that and you specifically said that was not an option for the game while you were hosting the game. No sir. That option has always been there.

[ShyGuy]

Hey, when does the day end?

[BeautifulShy]

Well we still have 24 hours left in total but I think majority was reached with Perm and Stratos votes for stevey and they have to stick for 30 mins for the day to end.

[ThePerm]

remember doctor. Night actions : Protect Perm.

[BeautifulShy]

If there is multiple killers this game then please don't kill me tonight. I have a pretty nice strat that I want to implement tomorrow.  Plus I get to live to Day 2 after dying on the first day last game. Thank you.

With that I am heading to bed.

[Khushrenada]

Uh, considering how you've been voting for me and accusing me of mafia, you're on my list of enemies now and I wouldn't be plotting for Day 2 at this point.

BeautifulShy, nickmitch, and lolmonade. You chose which side of the game you want to play on. Silenced, too, by not voting and helping me. It's going to be a bloodbath tonight.

[ThePerm]

Tensions are too high I believe. Day one nobody should be so apprehensive about other people's votes. We're all throwing spaghetti at a wall at this point.

I am up for negotiations from all parties.  I'm out and public in this game. I don't mind being used in ways that advance other players. I just want to make it to day 5 for a change. I take out the wild card factor from my situation and it becomes a game that's more fun.

[Khushrenada]

Tensions are too high I believe. Day one nobody should be so apprehensive about other people's votes. We're all throwing spaghetti at a wall at this point.

That's basically what this version of the game will be. It's about luck only this time around.

I just want to make it to day 5 for a change.

I'd like to see that too but word of caution. I wouldn't pin my hopes on this game being the one to do that since there will probably be some very high death counts each day. Odds of survival are slim for all.

[ThePerm]

[pokepal148]

 We have a majority vote against stevey. Night Actions are due in 12 hours.

[pokepal148]

Going to be a bit before I can start the next day so if someone wants to submit a last minute night action I'll deal with it.
