Topic: Mafia XXXII: Day 1

[NWR_DrewMG]

As the sun rose in the Mushroom Kingdom, dozens and dozens of copies of Toad were running around the castle, trying to do their errands.  Confusion was rampant, nametag sales were up, and Bowser was giddy on this very unusual day. 

"As long as I wear this nametag, no one will suspect a thing!"

He gathered his evil troupe, the Mushroom Mafia, and laid out the plan.

"We'll start this thing off nice and slow; one Toad at a time.  Give it 8 or 9 days, and we should be running the joint!  I wonder if that throne comes in spikey green..."

---

Meanwhile, up the hill and down the road, the Toad who claimed to be Peach and the Toad who really was Professor E. Gadd were at the good professor's laboratory, going over the details of the cure.

"Princess, I've managed to string together a cure, but we're only going to be able to make one batch per day," E. Gadd said, sounding confident.

"Well hurry it up already!" the Princess replied.  "Bowser's still in the Castle playing camoulflage!  We don't know who he is, and we don't know what he's up to!"

"I will do my best."  Professor E. Gadd got to work.

Day 1 starts HERE.

Vote for 1 other player by typing "vote" and their name in bold.

If you change your vote, you must leave unbold (but not erase) your old vote.  If you're extra-nice, you'll strike out your old vote just to make sure it's not counted.

The day ends at 11 PM CST.

Night actions are due by 7 AM CST tomorrow.

Mafia Godfather, send in your hit and your assassin.

Luigi, send in your protection action.

Mario, send in your investigation.

Wario, send in your changed vote.

Hammer Bros, send in your hit.

Koopa Jr, send in your frame-job.

-=*=-

[Dasmos]

Just for reference, what time CST was this thread made? I need to count the hours from that time to 11 PM CST to find out what time the the thread should close in DST (Dasmos Standand Time).

Also is there any voting guidelines? Like vote once every two days or something?

[NWR_DrewMG]

I made this thread at 9:05 AM CST. 

Also,

"You must vote at least once every three days.  If three days pass without a vote from you, you are dead."

[Dasmos]

Cool. For reference, to me, this thread should close at 2:30 PM DST (Dasmos Standard Time).

I should be at Uni at that time, but might be able to find a computer station. lots of italics

[decoyman]

Toad runs into the garden, hops over a small fence, dodges like 13 other "Toads" and pulls up a turnip. Quickly. Very quickly. Probably more quickly than most other people in the game could pull up a turnip of similar size and weight.

"Waaahhhh turnip!" says Toad excitedly, holding it above his head with pride.

[Pale]

Vote Vudu

Vedetta!

[Spak-Spang]

*Yoshi* 

unvote Khushrenda


Earlier I voted for Khushrenda and deleted the message.  I didn't read the rules and about Peach's power, so I deleted it so that it would be easier to keep count of votes.  However, I found out about the Peach role through Maxi and how you can't delete your votes but must just unvote them.  This modification is so that I am playing by the rules and not cheating.  It wasn't by design and I am correcting my mistake.

[Khushrenada]

WahhhhhhLuigi here! I rolled my dice and got a ten. After walking ten spaces, I stopped on a red square and lost three coins. Wahhhh! I hate this game. So, I walked over to the local tavern instead. I spent a few coins there. Money well spent. Ha ha ha. I wonder where my brother Wario is in all this confusion. I think I'll sprinkle a few gold coins on the floor and wait for him to collect them up because of his greed. 6 coins should do it.

[Dasmos]

Just noticing in your avatar Spak, what the hell is this?



It looks like it's pooing.

[Spak-Spang]

Ha.

My friend who drew the artwork signs his name with a Bee.  His nick name is Bee-Ow.  So, every picture he draws has Bumble Bee in it.

[Khushrenada]

Just noticing in your avatar Spak, what the hell is this?

Wahhh. You just noticed that? The avatar he's been using for the past 8 months, at least. Long after everyone commented on this before? My problem with the avatar was that he couldn't even color it green.

[decoyman]

I think there was probably a better place to put the Bee than right under his butt, but anyways.

You know, I'm going to go ahead and Vote Vudu along w/ Pale, for what he did to us last game.

VEDETTA!!

[Gylldas]

SQUEE!!!!  Starbits <3

[nickmitch]

I think I liked this Vudu bandwagon, but I'll wait it out a bit.

[DAaaMan64]

FINE I'LL DIE TOO. VOTE VUDU


JOIN OR DIE BITCHES

[ThePerm]

Vote Pap64 I vote randomly today

edit: or until i see unfair voting

[Plugabugz]

For my reference i'm 5 hours ahead.

vote  khush because i noticed.

[NWR_DrewMG]

FYI - I added this bit to the rules (but you said you weren't going to change anymore rules!)

If a player submits a night action, but is killed by another night action, the initial night action will be successful IF AND ONLY IF it is received before the night action that kills them.

[Stratos]

Boshi's vote can be bought with cookies. Yoshi Cookies.

[Stratos]

I Vote Plugabugz!

And so can you.

Not without cookies I don't bub.

[Plugabugz]

Not without a valid reason!

[Spak-Spang]

Cookies?  how about Fruited Cake?  Or happy fun Fruit, from the Happy fun Tree?

[Stratos]

[Mop it up]

Boshi's vote can be bought with cookies. Yoshi Cookies.

Listen, Boshi, love the shades. They work for you. And the dog collar? Fits your blue perfectly.
Enough with the sweet talk. You say your vote can be bought with cookies, but the thing is, I can't bake worth crap. Especially cookies, no matter what I do I always end up burning them. I like black and all but not when it's the colour of cookies. Instead, let me paint a little picture for you. You know that blasted pink Birdo (i.e. Vudu)? She thinks she's all that just because she appears in all the games as of late. If we take her down a peg, maybe someone else might have a chance to join the spotlight. Like you. So why not vote Vudu as I have done?

[ShyGuy]

...

[blackfootsteps]

I'm not sure who to unleash my gnashing jaws of vedettaing rage upon, Vudu or Pale?

[BeautifulShy]

Hey you guys do you notice something wrong with this thread.

I Vote Plugabugz!

And so can you.

Not without cookies I don't bub.

Look at the time Khushrenada posted.Look back on page one Khushrenada's post is missing.As far as I know only mods can delete posts.

[Stratos]

I suspect foul play. We only have two mods playing right?

[BeautifulShy]

Only Khushrenada and Pale are the mods that are playing.

[NWR_pap64]

Vote Vudu

Hey. Hey! Sorry that I haven't looked at the buttocks of Spak's avatar as much as you have.

Anyone can delete their own posts, but only in the mafia forum. Spak and Me figured this out last game.

Although it is a little dishonest and suspicious, in that DrewMG asked that if you had cast a vote and wanted to change that you merely just strike it out or remove the bold. Deleting the vote makes it impossible for Drew to figure out if Khush started a bandwagon for Peache's power. Khush would have known that. Something funny is going on.

VOTE KHUSH

[vudu]

VOTE KHUSH because I'm too young to die.

I love that Pale is voting for me for something as stupid as a vendetta.  He should be smart enough to know that's never a good reason.

[BeautifulShy]

Quick vote tally
Vudu 4 votes

You're really willing to kill another Birdo?  You ... monster.

[NWR_DrewMG]

Yes, please do not delete your posts in this game. 

I haven't deleted any posts. 

EDIT: I guess you can delete posts if you want, but not ones where you voted.  If you're caught, you'll be disqualified.

You're calling me the monster? Have you looked in the mirror as of late?

[vudu]

I didn't know looks were so important to you.  Don't judge a book by its cover.

[Stratos]

I was about to yell cat fight but then realized that might not be the case depending on who you ask.

[Mop it up]

I didn't know looks were so important to you.  Don't judge a book by its cover.

What about judging something by the evil expression on its face?

I was about to yell cat fight but then realized that might not be the case depending on who you ask.

I'm all for starting rumours if that's what it takes!

damn why all the Vudu hate? Vote Khush

[Dasmos]

You mean why all the hate on your mafia buddy, right?

[Mop it up]

He knows why.

I think I'm convinced, though you owe me cookies in the future. A vote for vudu

[ThePerm]

Blurdo is jealous of Birdo?

[nickmitch]

Vote Vudu
He tricked me last game, and I will not let it happen again! >:^|

[Spak-Spang]

Just for the record in the Mafia thread anyone can delete their own messages.  I did it when I changed my from Khushrenda earlier today.  I deleted it because my vote was on completely false pretenses I thought Khushrenda wasn't very active in the thread, but he was.  I just missed his posts because I read Waluigi and not Khushrenda. 

So the fact that he deleted his message isn't shocking.  But he needs to put it back because of the Peach power.  If he doesn't do that, then I would say that is suspicious behavior. 

Also, voting for someone because of a vendetta or because they tricked us last game is stupid.  Last game as zero baring on who they are this game, or how they are going to be playing the game this round.  So, I would be careful.  We might accidentally vote out an important townie.  I am personally suspicious of anyone that uses the vendetta excuse for a vote out.

[Dasmos]

Why are people actually ignoring my argument against Khush in favour for vudu due to stupid vendettas or retarded reasons (i.e Ugly Birdo avatar, cookies). This is the first day and Khush has done something highly, highly suspicious for someone who knows the rules like Khush. This isn't a flimsy reason to vote someone, especially not on the first day. Reasons "vudu tricked me", "give me cookies and I'll vote" or "vudu stole Birdo" are flimsy and it's the reason that we always vote out key townie roles early on, because the mafia hide behind stupid reasons and the townies play along.

How's this Stratos, I will give you both Cookies and Muffins if you vote for Khush. Maybe even a scone.

[Stratos]

Let me see them first.

[Gylldas]

Oh day one how I love thee.  What's a Luma to do?  Vote khush for now. 

Hopefully we don't all go BOOM like when a luma TRANSFOOOORMS!!!

[Dasmos]

So the fact that he deleted his message isn't shocking.  But he needs to put it back because of the Peach power.  If he doesn't do that, then I would say that is suspicious behavior. 

It isn't? I think it's suspicious in any game, regardless of the Peach role in this game. The Peach role just makes it more important if a vote is deleted, not any more suspicious.

Just for the record, you're also now on my watch list for deleting votes and not just Khush. I don't want to be playing favourites here.

[NWR_DrewMG]

Just did a quick count and it looks like we have

vudu - 7
Khushrenada - 6

80 minutes left on the clock. 

[Dasmos]

Let me see them first.

Cookies


Muffins


And a Scone.

[Stratos]

That's the spirit!

A vote for Kush

[Spak-Spang]

Dasmos that is fair.  I made a mistake, but at least I tried to correct it. 

[Mop it up]

That's the spirit!
A vote for Kush

If you change your vote back to Vudu I'll give you the world's largest cookie:



And I'll even throw in some cookie dough so you can try to make a bigger one.

[Dasmos]

Dasmos that is fair.  I made a mistake, but at least I tried to correct it. 

Yeah, that's honourable. Especially seeing as no one called you on it.

When did you vote Khush though, because if he turns out as Peach where we you in the voting?

[Spak-Spang]

Stop with the bandwidth pictures.

UnVote Mop it Up

I don't know about this back and forth bandwagon going on, but I am beginning to suspect both Mop it Up and Dasmos.  One of them is not trustworthy in my opinion.

[Spak-Spang]

I am the very first person to vote for Khushrenda...which is why I wanted to make sure to play fair.  If Khushrenada is Peach and is voted out I die. 

[Dasmos]

My, my Mop_it_up has raised the stakes! can't imagine that cookie would taste very good though.

I'll throw in a doughnut.

[Gylldas]

A battle for Stratos' vote between khush and vudu?  Ooooo suspicious!
Although I'm one to talk about reading into things because I'm usually wrong.

[GoldenPhoenix]

vote vudu

[Spak-Spang]

Vote Maxi

[NWR_DrewMG]

Current tally:

vudu - 7
Khush - 7
Maxi - 1

[Pale]

What the devil is going on in this thread? I think it's hilarious that I voted for Vudu as a joke... then forgot all about mafia because of the news and stuff from GDC, only to come back and see that I've started a bandwagon. =P

Vudu is just as likely to be mafia as anyone, so... meh.  But if a tie means no one dies, then we are just giving the mafia more of an advantage.... sooo... hmm... when does voting end?

[BeautifulShy]

20 mins Pale

[Stratos]

Wow, turn my back for a short bit and boy do the cookies start to fly.

The cookie dough is mighty tempting. I don't know about that giant one though, I don't think I have a large enough place for it. That thing is bigger than Yo'ster Isle.

Donuts are a plus, I'm especially fond of Krispy Kreme. The raspberry filled ones fresh off the conveyor belt. That plus a good cup of coffee makes my day.

[Pale]

Well I want to watch more basketball and not this thread so I'm going to remove my vote from the big tie pool.  Spak PM'd me a good theory that Maxi is mafia, so I'm going with him.

Vote Maxi

[Stratos]

I am curious about these 'first day theories'. How are people coming to these conclusions so fast without some random guessing? Are people giving themselves away that easily over PMs?

[GoldenPhoenix]

It is pretty much guesswork.

[Khushrenada]

This is why I didn't want the game to start on Wednesday. I never have time to play on Wednesday.

Anyways, I come home to a pm box full of questions about my removed post. Sorry, that was an accident. I meant to modify it but I hit the remove button instead.

You may notice that Dasmos has a quote modified by me earlier in the day. That came from another error. I meant to quote what he said but I hit the modify button instead. I didn't realize what I had done at first but couldn't figure out why my post wasn't showing up. With the mod powers I have on this forum, I have an extra command for splitting a topic so it moves my buttons over from where they normally are. It was just a simple mistake.

And no, I wasn't trying to get out of voting Plugabugz. If a bandwagon did occur, my vote is quoted and I'd have let it be made known that I started it. But I didn't care to revote him and wasn't going to worry about it otherwise.

Now you know the rest of the story.

[Spak-Spang]

I just want to say, if I die tonight, remember my vote. 

[Khushrenada]

unVote Plugabugz

Vote Vudu What the heck, right?

[BeautifulShy]

Vote Vudu

[NWR_DrewMG]

Locking the thread, counting the votes.

[NWR_DrewMG]

No tie breaker needed.  See you all tomorrow, bright and early.

[Khushrenada]

Really? Who lost?

[NWR_DrewMG]

Unless I'm counting wrong, I show the vote as

vudu-8
Khush-6

Do I need to recount?

[Khushrenada]

No, I think you are right. Although I actually count Vudu - 8, myself - 7. I guess Maxi was the tie-breaker.

Alrighty.

[NWR_DrewMG]

You're right.

Final Tally:
vudu-8
Khushrenada-7
Maxi-2

Very very close one, and a great finish for Day 1.
