Title: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: decoyman on November 10, 2009, 12:00:21 AM
Stevey was sitting in a booth in the stormtroopers lounge, head hung over his lukewarm ramen noodles, just stewing over his horrible day. First someone scuffs up his helmet in the locker room... Then he was singled out in combat drills earlier in the day for slouching. And now, The last pack of cheezits had been bought from the vending machine. "They KNOW how much I like my cheezits," he grumbled.
Suddenly, in walked a group of stormtroopers. One of them pointed at stevey. "Come with us! We have reason to believe you're a Rebel!"
"Oh no. NO. Not after the day I've had," Stevey said in disbelief as he charged out the back of the room. The other stormtroopers in hot pursuit, he came to the end of a corridor, panting. Luckily, there was a big red button at the end of the hall. "Haha, suckers! I'll take the lift and lose these jerks." He punched the button and waited and a door shut behind him. He could see the stormtroopers through the little window, and started to laugh and point at them. But then something quite unexpected happened: another door opened—a door into space, in fact. Poor stevey, a genuine stormtrooper, was sucked out into the dark unknown, never to be heard from again. Well, except for his breaking, static-filled curse over the COM:
"VEDETTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa......"
-------------------------------
MEANWHILE... Maxi was walking stealthily down a nondescript hallway, when suddenly a bunch of stormtroopers came rushing around the curve up ahead. He ducked into a nook to the side and waited until they had passed, then he continued.
But there, right in his path, was Darth Vader. "Lord Vader! What can I do for you, sir!" Maxi stood as straight and tall as he could.
"You can... DIEEEEEEEEE" Vader shouted, force choking the hapless stormtrooper. After the deed was done and Maxi lay motionless on the ground, more stormtroopers came up. One of them removed Maxi's helmet, and learned, to everyone's surprise, that Maxi was none other than the illustrious captain of the Millenium Falcon, Han Solo.
"THIS," announced Darth Vader, "is how we deal with Rebel Scum!" The stormtroopers cheered, then carried away Han Solo's lifeless body. Off at the end of the corridor stood the dejected-looking blue ghost of Han Solo. "I told them this was a bad idea," he said, thoroughly annoyed.
-------------------------------
And FURTHER down the corridor stood Luke Skywalker in stormtrooper guise, crying inside his helmet over his dead friend. In fact, Luke was apparently so emotionally distraught that he forgot to kill anyone. Whoops!
-------------------------------
ELSEWHERE! Boba Fett sat alone in a darkened room, biding his time and waiting to make his move...
-------------------------------
The Results! Stevey, a stormtrooper (townie) was voted out. Maxi, aka Han Solo (goon 1) was hit by Darth Vader (vigilante).
Day Two begins now! As usual, the day will end at 9pm CST tomorrow night, and night actions will be due one hour after that, at 10pm CST. No one needs to vote today to stay alive.

Strange night.
Who wasn't present yesterday? Or maybe it's a ruse and the person was present on Day 1, but chose not to place a hit. The former seems more plausable, especially on Day 1.
So who wasn't active on Day 1?
e: DrewMG and nickmitch all didn't post on Day 1.

Didn't GP vote for Maxi first?
And Plugabugz commented about the time, for him. 3PM
And the killer, he didn't do anything? Something's fishy there. If someone wants to kill someone, it's the killer. Because he kills. Maybe he was upset about Han dying, perhaps?

The day threads in this game end earlier than usual, so perhaps people didn't realize that? I don't know if simply those who didn't post would be the only suspects, as people who weren't here late in the day are also possibilities.

Well if either of those turn out to have one of these roles then getting rid of them well help us, so I am willing to give it a shot and go for one.
For now vote nickmitch let's see what he says

After being in voluntary exile since the Clone Wars to heal an almost fatal wound, I am glad to be back and be apart of taking out the rebel scumbag Han Solo. Tremble in fear rebel scum, we will cut you out and I, Ventress, will savor your death. It is good to be back, the Jedi and their followers will finally fall, the arrogant order will be blotted out from existence.
vote insansolord
After a bit of consideration and deep meditation, I think I'll change my vote.
vote nickmitch

You've clearly never read the Thrawn trilogy. And your vote is the worst move you have made. VOTE DASMOS.
My title says differently.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: Dasmos on November 10, 2009, 03:17:41 AM
I clearly don't know what the Thrawn trilogy is.
Also the reason I was sorta voting for you was you seemed quiet so far, no walls of text or anything. Quiet just like Maxi and he turned out to be mafia.

I still think he's been Jedi mind-tricked.
But by Vader, or by someone else?

Don't forget the Hand of Thrawn Dualogy. Thrawn is one of the leaders I respect the most in the galaxy. He was a master tactician and maintained exceptional discipline. One of the most intelligent, skilled and gifted non-force users I have ever met.
I was the one who first told GP about my suspicions against Maxi. He was behaving strangely in his PMs to me as well and I told a number of people, including GP. GP then jumped at voting for him even though I wasn't ready to start a bandwagon. I preferred to have a little more to base that on. But since GP got the ball rolling I decided to follow and attempted to recruit some other players for the cause.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: that Baby guy on November 10, 2009, 03:57:19 AM
Maxi stood out as a mafia member, it was a good pick.
My idea's pretty simple, something I'd potentially consider if I were in a mafia where one player would wind up exposing himself through inconsistent play: Why not name and tag Maxi, and make sure he gets killed, making yourself [as a mafia member], the one who votes him out?
Now, Han is a good buddy of mine, and I really can't say why he was a part of the Rebel Alliance, but there's really nothing I could do. It's my city, with millions of citizens who wish to happily continue their lives without interference of the Empire, versus a friend of mine who stole my ship, and also who's survival is a major asset to Star Wars expanded universe canon, being the father of Darth Caedus, who stands before us this very day. What would you choose?
Turns out, I didn't have to choose. It was a rainy day in Bespin, and well, all the storm troopers were wearing white, if you catch my drift ;) Lando here spent the latter half of the day on the observation decks, to...Keep an eye on things.
Regardless, what I'm trying to say is that there's no better way to rally a people than to make one of the leaders a martyr, and I think our Rebel Alliance might've done something like that. Quite simply, they saw the potential for Ambassador Maxi to be detected by our means, and decided to sacrifice the fellow, making it appear as if they might be good, Empire-fearing folks, like you and me. I firmly believe somebody altered the deal, making Maxi a target so he or she might get a free meal at with Darth Vader, and it wasn't me, which means I'm firmly against it!
In my eyes, both Ventress and Fry, the man galaxies and years away, both acted very different from what is typical. Ventress never takes a pre-emptive strike, for example, and she certainly seems to allow her allies to make the first move, in almost every case. Darth Caedus offers a solution to our little misunderstanding, but that doesn't necessarily mean I buy it. Fry used some number-bound logic, providing statistics and maths to justify his vote for someone most of us had already been certain about. Is he trying to pad his resume, trying to hide the freedom-loving Earthican inside?
I'm not sure, no, but I do know I find these things fishy.
Also, I had Bespin's lawyers take a look at Han's will, and it turns out he left me the Millennium Falcon. If you have a problem with that, perhaps I can show you our new carbonite-freezing chambers, and you might change your mind?
Edit: And my offer still stands. I'd be happy to work with the Bounty Hunter in order for make betterment of good country Bespinzhkstan. Just call my secretary and we'll set up a meeting. She's the stormy little trooper outside the door in a standard, white uniform ;)

If there's one set of things Lando is not, he's not a liar, double-crosser, or a traitor.

Post by: NWR_DrewMG on November 10, 2009, 11:48:41 AM
It's true that I didn't vote on Day 1. I stopped in the thread a few times, but didn't want to hop on any bandwagons for fear that too much would be read into it. On top of that, I've been busy at work lately (and on staff) and didn't have too much time to play yesterday.
I've proven to a select few that I'm not in the Rebel Alliance, but I won't say who those select few are.
I'm in this game, and I'm a stormtrooper, plain and simple. I too was suspicious of Maxi yesterday, but knew that if I voted for him, and he was innocent, then I would soon be voted out as well.
Here is some information I can offer as a way of helping to clear my name: I got a PM yesterday from Maxi that read as follows:
Quote
So what do you think about thatguy and vudu at this point?
This tells me that thatguy and vudu are probably not mafia, unless Maxi was floating those names out there to try to see if I suspected them.
So that's me, at this point in the game, and all I have to offer.
Also, I'd better vote today or risk putting pressure on me tomorrow. vote nickmitch.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: Stratos on November 10, 2009, 12:34:51 PM
Yeah, Maxi asked me about thatguy as well.
From what I gathered, no one was really replying to Maxi via PMs. I suspect he was trying to find out if any townie was suspicious of anyone in the mafia.
Don't we normally jump on Nickmitch like this and then collectively gasp 'oops' when it turns out he was townie? He always tends to be inactive, right?
Since I don't have a shift tonight I'm not feeling as pressed to make a vote that can stick right away. I'll bide some time before I place a vote, though if nothing major happens, it looks like Nickmitch will be out no matter what.

You really want to duel with me? I have many a feared technique at my disposal and can give some of the greatest Jedi a run for their credits.
This is the second day you have voted against me. What is your game?
You might be surprised at some of my hidden skills, sweetness. I want to show everyone I'm more than just a pretty face, and the best way to do that is to take on a skilled warrior.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2

Not today. You and I may duel another time. I have more pressing things to concern myself with.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: that Baby guy on November 10, 2009, 06:05:51 PM
It's because it's such a stupid strategy to intentionally not kill someone. As either of those roles, you fool the townies for one day doing it, resulting in, at best, one townie dead from the vote, the same number as if you had killed someone, but there's still not the full chance a townie would die from the vote.
I'm saying at this point, since nickmitch doesn't seem to have been reading the thread or logging in, there's a very good chance he's the killer or the godfather. Really. I can say that I at least did see Drew_MG viewing the thread, but that's not the case with nickmitch. It's pretty good evidence to go on, in fact, it's better than probably anything else we could come up with aside from the investigator popping up somewhere and naming names.
The End.

Well, I've been contacted by the "investigator." If anyone else out there is the investigator, too, they should definitely contact me, because, well, that could be bad news.

A lot of people have made the comment that I'm being quiet this game. I apologize. Unfortunately, I only have my iPhone and Wii to use the Internet. My computer is down right now. That and my work computer but since it is work, it makes hard to stop and focus on the game. Plus, no one seems to be in a jokey mood like last game. What's with that?
Anyways, it's frustrusting because I would like to do more but typing takes forever. I also think I'm losing my chops for this game. I knew Maxi was the right vote yesterday but I couldn't bring myself to help kill him again. In fact, I even tried to give him some advice to help him. Good for me. Maybe I'm just in a slump.
But I do want to say this, I think voting Nickmitch is the wrong idea. If he is the godfather or killer, leave him. He can't hurt us. He still hasn't shown up. Moreover, if he is the godfather, why would we help the mafia get rid of a lame duck and get a hit a day sooner than waiting for him to die from inactivity.
Maybe it comes from experience. When stevey defeated me in the Earthbound mafia, he skipped a hit one night. I then focused on the wrong players thinking it was a sign the the godfather was absent to make the hit. It cost me the game. While it may seem hard to believe that both the killer and mafia choose to skip a hit, there are other possibilities. One could have chosen to skip a hit, the other could have been absent or had his hit taken from him. For instance, what if the hit was stevey and they weren't around to change their hit when he won the vote? There's another theory. Anyways, this message is long enough and has taken forever to type.
So, I will VOTE PLUGABUGZ in harmony with that theory and leave it at that. An ineffectual vote but I gotta be true to myself. If you want to join me, great. If not, no problem.
Title: Re: Mafia XXXIX Star Wars Mafia: REBEL ALLIANCE – DAY 2
Post by: Khushrenada on November 10, 2009, 09:29:01 PM
One last thought. Why would Plugabugz vote for the person who started a correct vote for a mafia member yesterday? Seriously? I could understand voting for someone who voted for stevey late in the day to try and protect Maxi but there was no reason for GP to start a vote for Maxi. Why bring attention to a fellow mafia member so early in the game and especially when Maxi already gets plenty of attention. That's just a weird, bad vote to me. But maybe that's just me.

HEY! LISTEN!
I had the following conversation with nickmitch a few minutes ago over AIM.
nickmitch (8:15:09 PM): hey, is NWR working for you? nickmitch (8:15:19 PM): I haven't been able to get on in days vudu (8:20:21 PM): megabyte was performing some maintenance both last night and two nights ago at around midnight pacific time. vudu (8:20:27 PM): other than that it's been up. nickmitch (8:25:13 PM): damn nickmitch (8:25:19 PM): I guess it's just me vudu (8:26:22 PM): you're coming under heavy fire in today's mafia thread. vudu (8:26:26 PM): chances are you'll be voted out. nickmitch (8:26:30 PM): ****! nickmitch (8:26:41 PM): I can't even log in to defend myself vudu (8:26:52 PM): neither the godfather nor the killer made a hit last night. the working theory is that you have one of those roles. nickmitch (8:27:03 PM): well nickmitch (8:27:08 PM): that would make sense nickmitch (8:28:09 PM): Could you speak on my behalf? nickmitch (8:28:16 PM): you can take a screen of this, if you want vudu (8:28:18 PM): sure thing nickmitch (8:28:30 PM): I don't even know my role vudu (8:29:07 PM): lol. vudu (8:29:09 PM): that sucks.
I still think it's likely that nickmitch needs to be voted out but you gotta feel a bit sorry for the guy. ;D

The day vote is a discussion of opposing views. Who knows where that discussion will take a person. Sometimes, a player is killed for his view sometimes he is saved. I just didn't think there was enough discussion on the topic and I wanted to add my two cents and warn caution. Why are we going after a lame duck? We can have the vigilante take care of him it is such a slam dunk. We should be looking for real threats not dead ones. You find the godfather, you block the hit. Moreover, leaving him alive has some benefits.
