You come into presidential hopeful, Sam Squirrel's office. You plan act surprised that he has chosen you to be his vice-presidential nominee for the Animals for Equality party, but you know you were the obvious choice. Wait. You wonder why there are other people in the office with you? Maybe one is the campaign manager, secretary of state, or something else. Maybe. While you're anxiously waiting, Sam, or as he told you he wanted you to call him, Mr. Squirrel comes out and tells you all to sit down, and you all scramble to your seats.
"Hello, candidates," he says, smiling, "I know that there is a bit of confusion between us, but I think that you all have the capability to be a great vice-president. But, I need to interview you, and make sure that you can become vice-president, so I will have you all sleep here, in your own luxury rooms." Mr. Squirrel leaves, and the candidates talk among themselves, wondering why Mr. Squirrel has done this.
Okay, I thought I would do a little introduction before I begin the first day of Mafia.
The Rules
If you do not know the rules of Mafia, then here they are.
Mafia is a game in which one side, the Mafia is trying to kill all the Innocents until there are none left. However, the goal of the Innocents is to identify and execute the Mafia by voting them out. There are two stages of Mafia, Day, and Night. At nighttime, the Mafia choose one player to kill, but in the daytime all of the players find out who died the night before and the eliminated player's role, and vote for who they think is the Mafia, and may try to convince each other who is the Mafia, and who isn't. The person with the most votes is eliminated, and their role is revealed. This happens again and again until all of the Innocents are dead, or all the Mafia is executed.
There other some other roles, too.
The Doctor- an Innocent which each night, after the Mafia chooses who they will kill, they try to predict who was killed by the Mafia, and whoever they pick is granted immunity from the Mafia that night. (The Doctor can choose himself, but cannot choose any player twice in a row).
The Detective- another Innocent that after the Mafia chooses their victim, can investigate a player who they suspect is the mafia, and the moderator will say if they are or not.
The Cupid- again, another Innocent that in the beginning of the game, chooses two "Lovers", who, if one of the "Lovers" die, the other will also die.
(Last one may or may not be in play depending on the number of players)
The Gunman- is an Innocent which assumes a normal role for most of the game. However, if he is killed, (by either vote or killed by Mafia) then he will choose a player who he thinks is the Mafia, and kill them. Role not in play.

(Please say something if you think I am missing something, or need to remove something).
Ten players is not enough to have a Cupid or a Gunman.
Also, the story doesn't really explain what's going on.
I assume Sam'll explain how the story fits in with the game in the opening post (after sign-ups).
From my (admittedly years-old) experience, ten could probably accommodate a Vigilante Gunman, and Cupid seems to have worked for other, smaller forum games.
It is true that both at the same time might be a bit much, though.
@Jet the binturong I am not limiting the game to ten players, and I said in the description that I may not do the "Gunman" if there are too few players. I just wanted to do a little introduction, and like James Gryphon said, I would develop the story further in, I just wanted to leave a little mystery before we started the game.
Sorry for the confusion.
Can I join?
I'm in.
Without a doubt, sign me up.
I'm in!
I would love to join this.
I'm in.
I guess I'll go ahead and join.
I'm in.
Will do!
Count me in.
I want to start soon, but I will wait to see if more people play. I will not be doing the Gunman unless we have a few more players though.
Alright. Can't wait to play some Mafia ;D
It would be really dramatic if I ended up writing it again. The president found dead with a knife in his back, beatdowns in the back alley, darkened malls... ;D
Sign Ups close either Saturday or Sunday.
Update: SIGN UPS CLOSED
I will start writing and setting up the game soon.
OOC: So it begins.
After Mr. Squirrel left, a butler came and led the candidates to their rooms. The rooms were all in one hall, which for some reason had doors on each side of it.
"Please call me if you need anything," the butler said, and walked out of the hallway. When each candidate opened the door to their own rooms, they saw how luxurious and magnificent the rooms were. One of the candidates, Sagetip, leaped into his bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
However, most candidates were plotting about how they were going to gain the favor of Mr. Squirrel. Some were thinking about appealing to Mr. Squirrel's political views, some were thinking about showing how popular they were, and how they would win votes, but others were thinking about...
MURDER!!!Two candidates, in fact were thinking about murder. They just needed to kill some of the better, or more popular candidates for Mr. Squirrel, and then they would frame it on someone else. Yes... That could go well.
At the middle of the night, one of them went out of their room. Clutching a knife in their hand, they are about to open the victim's door, when suddenly, the butler appears. The butler, seeing what the person is about to do, tries to run and get help. Unfortunately, it is too late. The murderer stabs him multiple times, steals his keys to the hallway doors and doors to the rooms, locks the hallway doors, and runs back into their room before anyone can notice.
After a few minutes, one of the candidates, Skyblade, decides to go out on a 5AM walk, and sees the mortally wounded butler, and screams. All of the other candidates run out of their rooms to find the almost-dead butler moaning, and Skyblade looking over him, terrified.
"What is going on?"
"Who could have done this?"
"AAH!"
"We need to find out who did this!"
One candidate, Groddil, tries to open one of the doors. "This door is locked! Someone check the other one!"
Another candidate, Aimless Gallivanter, responds, "This one is too!"
While everyone else screams and panics, Søren, a candidate known for being calm in these situations suggests that everyone should stay in their rooms and lock their doors, since the murderers didn't get the keys. The idea seems to calm everyone down, and two candidates seem especially happy about that decision.
There are zero clues in this introduction
Beginning of Night One
Please submit your decision on who to kill/investigate/heal etc. if you don't have a regular role.
I'm going to assume I'm a regular player 'cause I didn't get a PM.
Yeah, I was confused about that too.
A few questions for
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: (That's a mouthful :P)
Did the normal citizens not get PMs?
How many Mafia are there?
Is there a Gunman after all?
~~
Not sure what to talk about right now. I'll deal out some general advice: Post. Seriously. Being inactive is possibly the worst thing you can do for the Town besides leading everyone astray. If you're silent, the world will never hear.
And trust nobody! Sometimes it's who you least except. Once, I was playing Mafia and collaborating heavily with one other player. He killed me :P I also read a game on a forum in which the last Mafia was the person everyone LEAST expected. Watch out.
Yeah, don't trust people. Unless you're the detective and you know who is or isn't Mafia :P (even then you could die)

There are two Mafia.
And there never turned out to be a Gunman.
Alrighty.
Who wants to play some poker? ;D
I dunno how.
So- nobody died this time, right?
Not yet. This round someone will.
Interesting. I would play a few hands with you, Sagetip, but how do I know you're not the killer?
Okay, I will put up the story soon.
Hop to it!
Night One Begins
It was late at night, and everybody was asleep. Except for three people. One was Wylder Treejumper. The two others were the Mafia. Wylder, was a famous lawyer, he even represented R. J. Squirrelson in the R. J. Squirrelson trial. As a hobby, he liked to look into mysteries and try to solve them. He always spoke with detectives if he was in a murder trial. Wylder was suspicious about a few people, in fact, he had some theories.
Wylder was known to sometimes be irrational, and in this case, he was very irrational. Going out of your room to try and investigate someone while murderers are on the loose, yes, very irrational. "Maybe I'll find who it is, and we'll all be able to go home," he thought. This was not the case. Just as he said that, he saw a figure walk out one the first doors to the left of him. "Hello? Is that yo--" The other Mafia came up from behind and used a baseball bat and hit him in the head. One of the Mafia stomped on his neck, breaking it and killing him for sure. The two mafia were worried that if they stayed out for too long, they would be caught, so they went back in their rooms.
Perifaen went out in the morning to see if everything was okay, as she heard something going on outside, but was too scared to go out in the night. After everyone heard her screams, they rushed outside to see what happened. Wylder was dead.
"How cruel!" Ashenwyte remarked. Everyone was so frightened that the murderers had struck again. Some people said that they should all go back into their doors and lock them again.
But Eulalia was not frightened. She was a politician! She encouraged democracy! "We must take a vote!" she yelled to everyone, "I do not want to kill anyone, but it is necessary in order for us to live, so we must vote on who we think are the killers!" Everyone, except two people in the crowd, applauded Eulalia. They would have a vote.
Wylder (your detective) is dead!
There is one clue in the text!
Please vote!
Begin Day 2!
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: Can we change our vote?
I'm not saying ignore clues altogether, but remember that they can be unreliable.I'm not sure right now; I'll wait for everyone to jump in. They better :P
LEADS
I think
at least one of the Mafia is a forum member who's been here for a while and would know about Wylder's reputation for thought and his skill at Mafia. Such a person acquainted with the forum may also know that I am usually targeted for kills and may avoid me because the Medic may save me as well.
Another lead is actually a Town one.
I could be wrong, but I think this post of Corny's leans her to Town.
Quote from: Cornflower MM on May 22, 2016, 03:33:48 PM
I'm going to assume I'm a regular player 'cause I didn't get a PM.
If she was a Mafia, how would she know that the normal citizens didn't get PMs? It would have been too risky for her to bluff.
There is a possibility that she asked Sam beforehand and somehow found out from him that normal citizens don't get role PMs, and used this post as a trick. But I'm not sure on the odds of that.
I can't be definite on one way or another, but for now I'm leaning Town on Corny.
Im still not sure how this works. how do we vote?
I personally believe that Perifaen had something to do with this. She knew something was going on last night, but neither warned us nor did anything about it until this morning. And how do we know when she "discovered" Wylder's body, her screams weren't an act. If she truly did hear something, and is truly one of us, how come she left her room anyway? If she was scared of the Mafia getting her, wouldn't she stay in her room, even in the morning?

I think that might be a stretch, but anything is possible.
I'm betting on Eul so far, if the clue is that she wasn't afraid of the situation like everyone else.
Even though evidence points the wrong way, it could even be Corn, since she killed Wylder with a baseball bat. Perhaps she was using his favorite sport to kill him?
The baseball bat part does make sense, but isn't Corn's notorious weapon a frying pan? Perhaps the list of subjects could be narrowed down to baseball fans, and then further down perhaps to any of us who have previously USED a baseball bat.
He was hit with a baseball bat and we know he likes baseball. So maybe we could look at the baseball thread and see if anyone has said anything against baseball or his favorite sports team. Also, Groddil, I doubt it is Corn. She wouldn't know that Towns people didn't get a PM. That doesn't mean she isn't Mafia, I just don't really suspect her.
@Soren, that could be used against me to say that I am Mafia, but in the story it says that there were two people in the audience who didn't applaud. I wouldn't be in the audience applauding myself if I was giving the speech.
EDIT: Checked the MLB Topic and found something Sagetip said:
Quote"You don't know what a Swatter is? Now, baseball is a Diamond City tradition. See, way back before the bombs fell, there would be two teams, all with baseball bats. And, and, the team wih the biggest bats would beat th other team to death with them! And the biggest bats were called Swatters."
On a different note, I thought Wylder was a My Little Brony for a second there.
Not saying it means anything. Corn and Soren also posted there. Corn seemed ticked off when she posted.

How could she have been outside killing someone if she was in her room hearing the commotion?

I was honestly going to say this myself. I agree with this logic.
About the baseball bat, I thought it could be a clue myself, but I'm not sure (Really, the clue could be anything). But Wylder likes baseball in general, so it may not really be pointing to a specific member.
That being said, clues can be unreliable. I really do prefer interpreting people based on posts.
@Skyblade: Firstly, how do we know she was in her room hearing the commotion? We only have her word for it. Secondly, there are two Mafia. She might not have done the killing, but I'm just saying there's something fishy about this. Like I said, if she was one of us, how come she left her room first? That doesn't make sense. If I heard someone getting killed during the night, I certainly wouldn't be the first poor sucker to leave their room.
The story says two Mafia killed Wylder together. So if she was Mafia, she wouldn't have been in her room. The story also says she was in her room, not that she said she was in her room. And, while you may not leave your room to try and save a life, some of us would leave to see if we can stop someone being killed. Though the story doesn't say if anyone else heard it. And we know from the story that she left her room in the morning, not at night during or directly after the murder. I'm not saying she isn't Mafia, I'd like to have more evidence before I accuse anyone, but I do see some errors in what you said.

once
@Eulaliaaa!: The accusations aren't perfect, and they couldn't be without much information. But if Perifaen really was trying to "save a life," as you put it, how come she waited until morning to go out? There's not much she could have done by then.
Nobody's accusation is perfect this early in the game, especially when not everyone has posted.
I didn't say she was trying to save whoever was being killed, I said some of us might (I would definitely be the idiot who walks out of their room all like "Huh? What's going on?" ;D). If she is not Mafia, then she stayed in her room, scared to come out, and came out in the morning when she thought it was safe. It does say she was too scared to go outside in the story. The others (I'm going to assume that no one else heard it since no one else was mentioned) maybe weren't in a hurry to leave their rooms. I don't really suspect her very much, but it could always be the person we least suspect. I played Mafia yesterday with my friends, and my brother killed me. He was the last person I thought would be the Mafia!

Woah. Sage is my number one suspect right now.
Could Groddil be pushing suspicion on Peri because he thinks she's actually the Doctor, therefore, the only one to stand in his way if he's Mafia?
I am utterly confused.
Eul, if you play Fallout 4 then you know very well what I was referencing in that post. ;D
And for those who don't know.... It's a quote from a video game.
And I'm terrible at baseball.
(http://gif.co/ttd6.gif)
Yeah, I've played Fallout 4. I was just saying it's possible that's where the clue came from. I dunno, not enough people are posting so this is impossible.
VOTE!!!
I VOTE FOR SAGETIP!!!
What happened to suspecting Peri?
@Groddil: Why are you voting for Sagetip? What changed that you'd rather get him out than Peri? You seemed to be really considering Peri earlier, considering your constant analysis of a potential clue involving her.
@Cornflower MM: Groddil thought Peri might be Mafia because of the story, but now some think Sagetip's mention of bludgeoning with a baseball bat in another topic could be a clue because Wylder got hit wit a baseball bat. Soren thinks Groddil may be Mafia who wants Peri out because she is a potential Doctor. We have thoughtful things, here, but even those can be faked..
@Perifæn:
@Aimless Gallivanter:
@Lord Ashenwyte:
Please post something. The most detrimental thing for a Town member to do, in my opinion, is stay silent.
It does make the game much harder when people don't post.
And I am suspecting either Groddil or Sage. I'd like to wait and see what Groddil says before I make any decisions. This is a harder game since no one else is really posting :-\
I did post, I expressed my confusion about how the game worked and asked how we voted, and I got no response. Being ignored once certainly didnt encourage any other follow-up questions or interactions. ¯\_(?)_/¯

I'm sorry! I remember seeing that post now; I assumed someone had replied. Obviously assuming didn't do any favors. I'm sorry again.
Two of us in the game are Mafia; they are not on our side. They want to kill all the Town people, by doing so at Night and making everyone vote the wrong people in the day, and be the last ones standing. We need to vote for whoever we think is Mafia. Just post who you vote for, preferably in
bold.
@Skyblade: I thought I said earlier that it was a flimsy enough clue already, but was the best I had at the time. New evidence came up, so I changed my opinion.
@Søren: I never thought Perifaen was the Doctor. Why would I vote for her if I did?
You continued to try and convince us she was Mafia several posts after I found the possible clue. And you would vote for the person you thought was the Doctor if you were Mafia.

So we're criticized for having changing opinions now? Plus, how could I possibly have thought Perifaen was the doctor? It's only been 1 day, nobody has been saved by the doctor yet, and there are no clues that she did anything except hear something.
Sarcasm Mode
(https://hafletcher9718.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/leave-me-alone-gif.gif)
Are we seriously going to vote for Sagetip because of one clue we could be misinterpreting? C'mon guys, you know we can do better than that, find better evidence than that.
@Sagetip: Please come give us your input.
I'm not going to vote for the ones who aren't posting, because it's risky. Hopefully, they're more active later, though. Corn and Eul are two I'm not going for this round (Corn because of the observation I made earlier and Eul because she seems to be thinking very critically. However, my mind can change in future rounds as we gather more info).
I need to hear Sagetip out more before I vote for him because of one clue. I will admit that I don't like how he tries to defend himself from the clue with random statements that don't prove anything.
Who else DO we vote for then? Half of us haven't said a word in about a week, and I don't see any evidence that hasn't been criticized yet.
Ah, ok...
Um.
Have I ever been Mafia in a game? No. Have I ever expressed malicious intent to kill any one of you for a random reason? No. That quote that Eul found in the thread? It didn't target any of you guys. If we were basing off of possible death threats possibly aimed at a certain member, then I think it'd be far to say that most everybody but sky would be under suspect.
Which brings me to the subject...
No one suspects Sky, because who could someone like her be Mafia? It's impossible, right? Not impossible.... Only improbable.
She's acting totally normal. The best way to hide? In a crowd. She could quite easily be fooling us all.
My vote goes to Sky. Hopefully I'm not wrong.
The reason I don't really suspect Sky is that she is always one of the stronger players, and she isn't really acting different from how she normally acts. That does not mean she can't be Mafia, but the two players that I suspect most are Groddil and Sage. Also, Corn wouldn't have known the Townspeople didn't get PMs, so I really doubt she's Mafia.
Sage for the possible clue I found earlier (which could be very wrong so that's why I'm not sure). And also the argument in your last post. If you haven't been Mafia, There's more of a chance that you are Mafia this round. And none of the Mafia express the intent to kill us in real life. Also, the possible clue I found... it was not aimed at us, it was a quote from a game. But it was posted in Wylder's baseball thread, and Wylder happened to be killed with a baseball bat.
Groddil for going after Peri so much then switching to Sage without explanation until he was questioned about it. You were convinced that Peri was Mafia, or so you said, then you quickly switched to voting Sage without giving any explanation until we pointed out it was suspicious. Then you seemed just a little defensive.
For all we know, they could both be Mafia. This is one of the hardest rounds I have played in Mafia, mostly because of all the inactivity. I don't know if I can vote with any confidence. And the Townspeople need to be together in voting or we don't stand a chance. Right now, I'll say my vote is for Sage. I am not basing my vote simply off of the possible clue, and it may change.
Two votes for Sage.
One vote for Sky.
Quote from: SageHave I ever been Mafia in a game? No.
I honestly REALLY don't like when people using that as reasoning. Guys,
it doesn't matter whether someone was or wasn't Mafia before. The roles are typically randomized, and previous games have no bearing on later roles. Gonff has been detective like three times, and I've been cupid twice. It doesn't matter.
Since I've brought this up, though,
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: How did you decide the roles? Did you handpick them or randomize them?
Quote from: SageHave I ever expressed malicious intent to kill any one of you for a random reason? No.
Mafia don't do that unless they are incredibly stupid. The point of Mafia is for the bad guys to pretend to be one of the villagers. A Mafia member would look like the rest of us, pretending to be on the search even though they already know the answer.
Quote from: SageThat quote that Eul found in the thread? It didn't target any of you guys.
The point of the quote is to point out a potential clue in the story. Wylder was killed with a baseball bat, and you mentioned - in that thread - that baseball bats can be used as a weapon. Now I don't like using clues to vote for people, and had this been my only lead, I wouldn't have voted for you. That's why I prompted you to post.
Quote from: SageIf we were basing off of possible death threats possibly aimed at a certain member, then I think it'd be far to say that most everybody but sky would be under suspect.
Why everyone but me? Why am I the exception?

Well, this could apply to several people. Soren is acting pretty normal too. I will admit Eul is being more thoughtful than usual and Corn has been more confused.
I can understand your reasoning for voting me though. You think I am
too normal, that I'm faking it. I can understand that.
Though, I might want to add that this sounds a lot like a logical fallacy called Too Townie (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Too_Townie). So honestly, this is not good reasoning to vote me.
~~~
Anyway, I've got a
readlist (review of every player)
Spoiler
Galli - not suspecting her this round. Seems like a new player, but it's possible she is actually Mafia and only pretending to be clueless. For now, she is null (not leaning either way)
Jet - hasn't posted. It's worth mentioning that he usually posts (when he is Town), but in the one round when he was Mafia, he didn't post at all. I remember this from the games in the old forum. If history is repeating itself, he's Mafia again and reusing his strategy of not posting in the thread (most likely to fade in the background and dodge suspicion). Slight Mafia lean for that.
Ash - also hasn't posted, can't say anything
Corn - Slight Town lean because of the thing I pointed out earlier. Like I said, it's possible she IS Mafia and used her mention of the Town PMs to trick us. That would take a lot of thinking and risk on her part, though, and I don't think she would do it on her own. Maybe if her Mafia partner was smart and had the idea. I'm not sure I like how confused she is, as I remember her saying the same thing in a game in which she was Mafia, but considering he inactivity lately, it can be expected.
Eul - Small town lean. She is probably the most thoughtful player so far. However, I'm reluctant to lean her Town too much. It's possible she is faking, and it is odd that she is being more thoughtful than in previous rounds. Sometimes, a person can be more thoughtful because he actually is Mafia and knows the answers; thus, he is more capable of making up thoughts and observations. But Eul is doing one thing that I value: posting actively and in good quality, and prompting others to post. I just have a bad feeling about her for some reason; maybe it is just paranoia. If she does turn out to be Mafia, though, I want to point at this and say "told you so" :P
Soren - Acting normally. Kind of in the background, though, which I do not like. Like he's trying to contribute but also hiding at the same time.
Peri - Null. I don't want to use clues, and she hasn't posted.
Groddil - Actually, I'm not leaning Mafia on him too much. At least he is very active, and many Mafia members tend to do the opposite - lurking in the background with minimal posts - unless they are experienced. However, some Mafia do post actively and look very much like Town.
The push on Peri was a bit strong, and a bit odd because of the flaws. It seemed a bit desperate. But at the same time, I can understand it. I can see why he'd change the vote to Sage since he had better reasoning at the time. However, this can also be from a Mafia's perspective since Mafia are often trying to please the crowd to not be suspicious. As Mafia, he would change his mind about Peri if nobody else was agreeing.
Honestly, he could go either way.
Sagetip - Um. I don't like the flawed reasoning in the latest post. Also, the clue is SLIGHTLY convincing.
I may vote for Sage this round. I don't think I'm voting for Groddil this time around. Possibly Soren or Jet. Honestly, I need more posts from many of the players.
I vote Sage. Doesn't matter if he's been in a game before or not, or if he's expressed "malicious intent". If he's Mafia, it's his job to kill. That, combined with the baseball thread (weither it's from Fallout or not) leads to me vote for him.
I would just like to say that I am always this thoughtful in Mafia :P And if I were Mafia, I'd probably be lurking in the background with the others. Since no one that's lurking is really being suspected, it seems safer. But even the lurking ones who aren't Mafia are hurting the Town.
3 Sage 1 Sky. One more to kill Sage (There are only about 7 Active Players, so I'm going to count a majority of those players).
@Skyblade I picked them randomly. Also, Jet isn't a player. ;D
Guys guys guys. Look, I probably won't get out of this alive, but don't make th mistake you did last time I was voted out first round. Please. I'm trying to help you. Okay?
Sky, when I said that if we were targeting based of death threats, I said you wouldn't be suspect since you wouldn't make a death threat. Just wanted to clear that up.
Non detective work
I can't change your opinion. I can't change your mind.
You know, I'm being far to dramatic. I might live after all...
And now you will interpret all that as more Mafia evidence... Wow, I'm bad at this game.
This reasoning is killing me. I think the heat is baking my brain.
Side note done, I. . . . Am still confused by this reasoning. D@mn this heat and my current inability to stay focused and thinking.
So let's jump into this crazy.
Sky: Getting defensive. Also really looking into Sage, but leaving Eul alone. Hmm. Could she be Mafia with Eul?
Sage: I gotta admit, his reasoning is a little flawed. He's also really defensive. (Then again I remember a game where I was defensive, too, and I was the doctor. *Pokes Eul* 'Member?) No further comment for now.
Eul: Really thoughtful, looking closely into things. Seems unsure. I dunno. Not much commentary on her.
Everyone else: Haven't really noticed?
Not voting yet.

Heh.... heh heh heh... I really thought you were Mafia ;D and I think you were the Doctor in a different game. I remember messaging someone and telling them I was the Doctor and I would keep them safe if they didn't vote for me and voted for you instead. And I did keep them safe, but ended up voting for the wrong person again at the end of the game... oops?
Eh, the Mafia games are running together in my head. :P
Are you really serious? Why you liddle schemer! :P
Please vote!!!
Sorry I haven't said anything. So I have three things to say I guess, two of which won't do much because those two theories were dashed by facts but here they are anyway...
So the first night which didn't have any clues I was confused by the fact that it said the murderer took the keys to the hallways and room doors locked them then after locking the hallway doors ran to their room so as not to be caught. Yet the next morning Soren said not to worry because the murderers didn't have the keys. That confused me when I first read it.
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams can you clarify what happened since that first night there wasn't supposed to be clues?
Another thing I had noticed the second night was when it said the two people who were mafia didn't clap for Eulalia. The first thing I thought was Eul didn't clap for herself, most likely, and someone else from the crowd. Then when I read it over again I realized it said two people from the crowd. So if I am correct that could help take suspicion off Eul but still I could be wrong.
One more thing I noticed that doesn't help me at all but I thought I should mention anyway is the fact that Sam said three people were awake when it happened, Wylder and the two mafia, yet later he said I had heard something in the night but didn't want to check it out which means I must have been awake too.
So that's what I have been thinking. I know it doesn't really do much and I still don't know who to vote for but I decided I should show my face at least.
Vote!
Alright we need to move this along. Sorry, Sage, but this is dragging way too much honey. Next time? Nothing against you, I swear.
I vote Sage.
I vote GRODDIL
It seemed weird that he'd be suspecting Peri at one point amd voting for Sage the next. Like he's trying to confuse things.
Let me see the votes:
Sage (4): Groddil, Eul, Soren, Corn
Sky (1): Sage
Groddil (1): Galli
There's nine of us; five's the majority. So if Sage gets one more vote, he's getting lynched.
Ugh.
Something about his play is reminiscent of what happened in the last Mafia game, when we all voted him out and he pleaded for us not to. He was Town. That does make me a bit reluctant. Of course, just because he was Town last time doesn't mean he is now, but the way he's acting is so similar that it's unnerving. If he is Mafia, it'd have to be a trick.
Huh. He's actually not being incredibly defensive, not like I would expect someone who is Mafia to be. I just don't like that post I quoted earlier that I had many things to say about. Well, he is being defensive, but even Town members can do that (that's what he did last game). The thing is, if he was Mafia, he might try harder to stay in. Either by posting evidence that he's not or pointing blame on other members. It's a bigger blow to the Mafia if they lose one member than it is to the Town if they lost one member.
Ugh.....
But the thing is, I don't know who I'd vote for if not him. Maybe Soren, but I don't think I have enough evidence stacked up against him yet. I mainly don't like how he posts just enough to get by. Enough for us to notice that he's there (not completely lurking), but not enough to draw attention and suspicion to himself. This is sometimes a Mafia sign, and in Mafia 2 (when Rus and, incidentally, Soren were Mafia), this is the strategy that was pulled. Whether Soren would reuse this tactic, I don't know.
I'm going to think about this, since it's the last vote.
La dee da.
@Skyblade That's...actually understandable.
I don't even care about who votes for who anymore, this first round has gone on long enough. We need to do something to move on.
I'll vote for Sage, using the measly Day 1 evidence we have right now.
After his role is revealed, it'll be good to analyze the votes and use them as clues.
I will write the story tomorrow/day after/etc. Bye bye Sage! DO NOT CHANGE YOUR VOTE NOW.
Sorry Sagey. :'(
It's okay. It's really my fault in the end. ;D

If you're Town, we're all to blame. If you're Mafia, yes, it's your fault. Die :P
No, it'd be my fault either way cause of my actions. I would be the one who did something suspicious.
If you're Town, we misinterpreted.
Let's just drop this and wait for Sam :P
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: Get a move on would ya? :P
Sorry for Delay.
Once Eul stopped talking, everyone discussed about who was the murderer. Someone accused Sage of killing Wylder, and Sage suddenly freaked out.
"IT WASN'T ME!" he screamed, "YOU HAVE NO PROOF!"
Everyone was surprised at how Sage acted, but assumed that it was obviously Sage who was guilty. Then, Eul calmed everyone down, and told everyone to take a vote.
"NO! SKY DID IT! SHE HAS OPPONENTS, TOO! SHE MAY HAVE WANTED TO GET RID OF WYLDER!"
Skyblade and everyone else looked astonished at how desperate Sagetip was being. They all took a vote, and they didn't even have to read all of the votes to know that it was Sagetip who was getting killed.
"NO! THIS IS BARBARIC! I AM A HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST! YOU CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO ME!"
The rest of the candidates knew it was time for him to die. Two of the stronger candidates held him down while another suffocated him with a pillow. (It took a lot longer than they thought it would). Anyway, one of the candidates, Soren, knew that Sage was always on the computer, even when Wifi was cut off. What was he typing?
So the candidates looked in the computer, and saw that he was (strangely) typing up some romance fan-fiction. And the last edit was at 6:00 AM, and there were edits periodically throughout the night. Had they gotten the right person? But wait, they found that it was 6:00 AM the night before. However, they knew that Sagetip was very organized, and probably have planned the murder. (It is assumed). Therefore, he was not the killer. The candidates were saddened, except for two of them, who knew that there was one less person they had to deal with.
Sage, your Cupid is dead.
There are no clues in this post
Please choose someone, Mafia and Doctor!

We've been duped.
You're kidding me... Now we lost the detective and a Town member and there's still two Mafia. And most of the people in the game aren't even participating. Urgh....
Ah geez that's awful. I didn't vote for him but I still feel bad :(

Well then, maybe they SHOULD actually participate. >:(
In more serious news, if Sage was the Cupid, and we've lost two people, I think we should be a little more careful from now on. We don't want to vote willy-nilly and risk losing EVEN MORE town members.
We do need to be more careful. Though, if there have been no Cupid couples killed yet, and no Mafia have been killed.... it is possible that the Cupid couple has a Mafia member. So if a Town member does die, there's a higher chance of a Mafia dying as well. If... that helps to make this situation seem any better, I guess.
I think we should look this from the perspective of who did our Cupid Sage choose? If we figure it out, at least we'd have some evidence.
There's three dudes to five girls left. It'd be logical that he'd choose a shipped couple, or two close to one. I can only picture Groddil and Corn, or me and Peri.
I don't know yet though, just random thoughts.
I would have to disagree. If Sagetip was really acting in our best interests, he wouldn't choose a pairing so obvious. If he did, the Mafia would know who to kill straight away. For instance, if me and Corn were the cupid couple, I think we would both be dead by now. Ditto with you and Peri. Unless of course, one of us is Mafia. Then they wouldn't kill the other Cupid, because they too would die in the process.
Wait, me and Grodd are a ship/close to one? o.O (It better be a bromance ship. IT BETTER BE.)

This does make sense.
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: Can you send Ash a PM? The inactivity at this point is very detrimental.
Anyway, I'm still leaning Søren for Mafia because of what I said earlier. But I really can't tell with the ones who haven't posted much.
@Skyblade I'm afraid that won't be needed.
Night Two has begunIt was nighttime, and Ashenwyte, a more timid member of the group, was awake. He knew that, like the night before, someone was going to die. He was a senator for one of the states, but was almost never outspoken. Unfortunately, the Mafia were suspicious of him, as they thought he knew who the Mafia was.
The Mafia unlocked his door.
"Wait, no!" Ashenwyte said. But it was too late. One of the Mafia threw a ninja star at his neck, while the other was eating something. Ashenwyte, in his final moments saw that both of the Mafia were wearing masks.
Later, when everyone woke up, they saw that Ashenwyte was missing. His door was unlocked, and everyone was frightened to see a ninja star in his neck. However, they saw that there were nuts in his room, which someone was eating. Someone also saw that there was a mask near Perifaen's door, in her room. She claimed that someone must have stuck it in her room, but who knew?
Anyway, the candidates decided they would
never vote to kill someone again, as they had killed innocent Sage vote on who was the Mafia.
Ashenwyte, an Innocent is DEAD.There are 2 Clues in this story, however, they may or may not trick you.PLEASE VOTE!
I think the fact that one used a ninja star and another was eating nuts may be important. The mask being next to Perifaen could be a clue, but it seems too...obvious. Maybe I'm wrong and the mask being near Peri is a clue. Like I said, clues can be really hard to deal with. But I really wanted to point that out.
If we could change our votes, mine would be on Soren right now; he may be not the best lead (I'm going by his posting activity; before I called him out, he seemed to be hanging out in the background to not attract attention (and that's a Mafia sign)), but he's currently my best, unfortunately.
Funny how Sky is so eager to move the game along. Why wouldn't she just kill off an inactive member? What's the fun of winning Mafia if there isn't a chase? I'm leaning Sky because of her comment about Ash earlier.
However, as far as the clues in the story go, a squirrel member may be at more fault. Cornflower is a squrril, and who else would eat nuts at a murder? I'm not sure about the Peri clue, if it is indeed the clue, it's really obvious.
How did the Mafia unlock his door? Did they have a key?
Hey, I might be a squizzel, but that doesn't mean automatically I'm eating the nuts. ;)
Looking at these two posts, I, too, am leaning on Sor. See how he's so quick to point fingers? And how he only posts after Skye calls him out? Hmmm, could he and Peri be the Cupid couple? He's being easy on here compared to the others in my post. He's also mostly going off Skye's post with his deductions.
And speaking of Skye, she's really making sure we know she doesn't like clues. Trying to distract us, maybe? She didn't give us much with that post, when usually she's so helpful. She's also really upset about posting activity, and who hasn't posted this round? Ash! Who was just killed? Ash! Hmm, was that a mistake on her part as Mafia? IS she Mafia? I'm starting to think so - Her votes are all over the place.
I, on my part, think both the nuts and and the mask are too obvious. Read the end again, people!
That's all from my brain for now.
Ash is dead and it makes Sky suspicious, but it seems to me that such an in depth player like Sky wouldnt complain about a player and then take him out if she were the Mafia, it seems too obvious. Too big of a mistake for a player like Sky.
The nuts/ninja star feel too vague to really be pointing fingers at anyone. Then again, we killed off Sage because of a baseball bat, so whatever floats your boat I guess.
The mask is so in-your-face of a clue it's ridiculous. You end up overthinking these things. Or maybe thats just me. But I'm leaning towards a guess that Peri isnt mafia.
I guess what Im trying to say is I dont know what to say, and at this point I dont know who to vote for.
Yeah, true. I've got some suspicions. Firstly, the mask DOES support my earlier theory involving Peri, but no Mafia would be as stupid as to leave a mask hanging up in plain sight...Unless they want us to think that. On the other hand, Sky's suspicions on Soren probably aren't unfounded. He's only posted when he's in danger, and no other time. They could be the Cupid couple, and if one of them is Mafia, considering how many innocents we've lost, losing one more shouldn't be a problem if it means we finally off one of our enemies. Therefore...
I VOTE FOR SOREN.
@SørenThey did. When they killed the butler, they took his keys.
/me wonders that if showing up right now will get him deeper into suspicion
Welp. This is awkward.
I don't know who to vote for myself. Perhaps the mask could be a reference to the fox mask Groddil used to have as his profile picture? Really grasping for strays there though. Of course, that makes it look like I'm trying to push suspicion on my only voter. Which would be unwise for me to do. I honestly have no idea who to vote for, there aren't enough people and not enough clear evidence. Whoever the Mafia is, we should limit the search to active players. So I'm not too worried about Galli or Peri. There's two, and though they may be guilty, one of the active players is.
I would be interested in seeing what happens now that Eul is on vacation.
But again, this is all random musing. :P

I don't know how the mask relates to me. The mask was my pic for a week, to let people know about the masquerade. Besides, it's in Peri's room. So if it is a clue, it either relates to her, or YOU, because you said yourself that you and her being the cupid couple would be logical.
VOTE!
Hmm.
I'm going with Søren, because he DOES only show up when he's in danger, and that has worked well for Mafia before. Why not try it now? He is pushing suspicion on Groddil, too, with no good backing. That seems really suspicious to me as well.
Soren for reasons already stated
Soren, because he's leaving the forum anyway, isn't he? Or at least becoming much less active.
That's 4 votes for Soren out of 7, then. He's toast.
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams: We've made our decision.
I'll start working on it.
*Two days later*
It was time for another vote, the candidates decided. Suddenly, after someone mentioned his name, Soren started freaking out, saying, "it's not me! It's not me!"
This made it seem like he was guilty, and was almost unanimously voted to be killed. "NO IT'S NOT MEEE!" he shrieked, running away into a wall.
The impact knocked Soren out, and the candidates discovered that there was a needle in his leg. It seemed to have killed Soren, as Peri felt that he had no pulse. However, the needle had the name "Groddil" written in marker on the needle.
Soren, an innocent, is dead.
There is 1 clue in the story, however, it may or may not trick you.
Mafia, Doctor, please choose someone.
By the way, a third of you are Mafia, so I would suggest getting your next vote right.
Hmm, there's six of us left, right? And two of us are mafia. That means that I know for a fact there are four people who can't be trusted yet. I don't know about my original guess. Is Peri mafia? The clues, however obvious, point to her, and we can't ignore that.
The clue in that text is kind of obvious. Somebody killed soren with a needle that had my name on it. That should, if anything, prove my innocence. Why would I be stupid enough to write my name on a murder weapon? Unless, of course, I was framed.
My list of suspects, so far, goes a bit like this:
Peri
Corn
Galli
Skye
Eul
Me
Peru is at the top of my list for obvious reasons, but Corn is a close second. Why? She's acting quite aggressive, don't you think? Trying to push blame onto others. But, did you sense a pattern? So far, all the deaths were innocent. And she might have been responsible in quite a few of those...
Gallo and Skye aren't too active, so their rating is pretty hard to say, although Slye brought up some valid points when she is pretty active. I've also got a pretty good idea of Eul's innocence.
For now, though, I'll probably be voting for Peri, and trying not to listen to any of Corn's "reasoning."
Only MCR can make 'Lalala' sound sarcastic, ironic, and angry. :P ;D
I'll put up a post defending myself later, probably after the next story's up.
C'mon, Please decide!
Wait, isn't it Night now? So we're waiting, right?
Right.
Ok. Please don't kill me, Mafia :P
. . .
OOC: Sorry for being inactive.
BIC: After the needle incident, people started to become suspicious of Groddil. Groddil immediately ran into his room an locked the door after the incident, and no one could unlock the door, so the candidates thought they could wait him out. Anyway, after everyone went inside, the Mafia struck. A powerful candidate, who was listed as one of the most powerful 100 people in Forbes magazine, as she was a former Speaker of the House and was still a influential figure at the time.
The candidate was Skyblade. Although she was one of the more careful candidates, it was no use. The Mafia was swift in killing her, and the next day, she was found dead, with a pillow on her head.
Later, someone found a key and opened Groddil's door, asking him to explain himself, and made everyone else come out. Groddil was looking very guilty.
Skyblade, an innocent is dead.
There are 0 clues in the story, so your clue will be this:
What the outcome will be: (What I think)
Mafia Win: 55%
Innocent Win: 30%
Other: 15%
Please Vote!
By the way, this cupid couple is likely one of the longest lasting cupid couples.
QuoteA powerful candidate, who was listed as one of the most powerful 100 people in Forbes magazine, as she was a former Speaker of the House and was still a influential figure at the time.
Hey, that sounds about right ;D
Adios, guys.
Good. You can join me in the grave.
My vote goes for Galli. At the beginning of the game, she said she was confused on how to play, yet she seemed to do pretty well. She's posted just enough to not be suspected, and if she didn't know how to play, she probably would have lost interest in the game already.
Okay, I don't really like how this came out:

Uh, no. Why would I look very guilty? I explained myself IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LAST STORY FRAGMENT, I wouldn't need to run away.
My vote goes for
Perifaen, but a close second would probably be Galli.
Oh man. I have no idea.
Can I wait for another day or so to vote?

Perhaps I should have clarified. I've played mafia many a times before, but never online like this. I used to play a lot with my friends during lunch, in real time, so I understood the game, just not how it would work online like this. I was confused about how voting and the discussions would work. I also never used to play with a gunman or a cupid couple. What a pity that the suspicions turned to me now.
Ill vote tomorrow, if thats okay.
Vote!!!! Keep this going for just a little longer!
Listen I've got no leads, except for the needle thing. Which is kinda pointing at Groddil being the doctor.
Anyway, im gonna vote Perifaen
So who is left??
@Perifæn: You, me, Corn, Eul, and Galli. Although the one who's getting voted out is either you (1 vote needed) or Galli (2 votes needed.) Assuming you vote for Galli, as voting for anyone else would be a waste of time, it's up to Corn who dies.
Thank you
@Groddil Well I vote for
GalliI know I'm not and Eul shouldn't be if you consider what was said in the story with her speech. So it would be two of the three of you left and like Grod said any other vote wouldn't do anything.
(Corn isn't here at the moment, I don't think)
guess we'll wait then
I have a suspicion as to who the Mafia is, but I won't say anything until the game is over.
@Skyblade can you PM me who you think it is?
Okay. I'm going to go with
Peri. Why? Because she's been saying the bare minimum. Been so defensive. And does she want us to think she hasn't been keeping a good eye on the game by this post?
Quote from: Perifæn on July 20, 2016, 08:16:01 AM
So who is left??
Isn't there a good mafia tactic of staying in the shadows, only speaking when needed?
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams:
That's three votes Peri, two votes Galli. Everyone's voted, let's do this!
The candidates, only half of them alive now, decided to have another vote. The two candidates who were the most at risk of being voted to be killed were Parifæn and Aimless Gallivanter. Both accused each other of being guilty, but who was it? Cornflower voted on Aimless Gallivanter's side, and Eul to Perifæn's but who would Groddil vote for?
As he decided, he looked at Cornflower and decided that he would vote for Perifæn. Eul was unconfortable with this, and tried to tell Groddil that it was Galli, but it was no use, as Aimless Gallivanter had already executed Peri. This would be one of the final days that the candidates were together.
...
Perifæn, an innocent has been voted out.
There are 2 (obvious) clues in the story.
So... what I think the outcome will be:*
75% Other
24% Mafia Victory
1% Innocent Victory
Sorry, this was your last GOOD chance to win, town. I will continue the story because I want to see what the outcome will be.
Mafia, Doctor, you know the drill.
*revised
Great. Kind of obvious who the mafia is now.
Kind of weird that the first story fragment implies Eulalia as not being mafia, but someone else is. Shame she is one.
Also, Galli, congratulations. You worked it out.

Also really weird that Eul wants her Mafia partner voted out so badly. Really makes us want to believe she's innocent, huh?
Well, let's see who makes it through the night...
Ok, well I'm just gonna go ahead and post my opinions before Groddil and Galli kill me tonight. It doesn't really matter since Mafia's probably gonna win.
Groddil, I would like some evidence to back up your sudden accusation of me being Mafia when there have been several minor mistakes in the story proving I am Town, and nothing to prove that I am Mafia. So far in this game, you have provided so little proof behind your accusations it is a wonder you have not been voted out. :P
If I were Mafia, what reason would I have to vote my partner out? Mafia will, without a doubt, win this game despite all I have done to prevent it. There would be no logical explanation behind voting out your Mafia partner. I get voting for them if everyone else is and your role will be given away if you don't go with the Town, but in this case, voting for your own partner would just unreasonable. The majority of the players were leaning towards Peri, so if I were Mafia, it would only make sense to vote with the Town and not push voting my partner out.
Now I want to look at the possible clues in the story.
QuoteBoth accused each other of being guilty, but who was it?
This could be implying that one of them is Mafia, and one of them isn't. Peri, obviously, is not.
Quoteit was no use, as Aimless Gallivanter had already executed Peri
Galli was quick to kill Peri before anyone changed their mind. That could be very suspicious, and we know there are two
obvious clues.
One thing that does confuse me, though, is Groddil looking at Corn before he votes. I'm not sure if this is meant to be a clue, or if it is meant to mess us up or is just a part of the story. Corn did say she never received a PM before Sam said Town people didn't receive any, so I'm really hesitant to accuse her. Either she was being honest, or she took a risk and hoped for the best...
Those are just my thoughts before Night comes and the Mafia come for me (Can I have a really cool death? Something to do with a cool ninja battle or me going out with a fight using my machete or something? :P )
You could also be drowned in your own sink, like I wrote it. ;)
I hated that death, drowning is one of the worst ways to go, Sage! ;D
Ha! Me, Mafia? By now, everyone already knows I'm the Doctor. Don't believe me? Kill me tonight, Eul. We'll see who's laughing then.
There are four of us left. I can't be Mafia, because the Doctor cannot be Mafia. That leaves Galli, Corn, and you. Now, everything points towards Galli being Mafia, so let's count her. That means, either you or Corn is the final mafia. If all the clues that point you towards being Town were legit, how come YOU'RE still here? No, the only reason you're still alive, and the clues were there in the first place, was to hide your true identity. Corn isn't Mafia, you can tell just by her first posts. That means you're the only one left. You can drop the act Eul, because if I make it through tonight, you are going down.

All of those deaths were stupidly funny. Sky was killed by a flower pot to the head.
I still have that game saved...
Woah, everything points towards Galli being Mafia? If you believed that, why did you kill Peri last round? We can agree that she is Mafia, but I don't like that sudden turn after you've been going so hard after Peri. And honestly, I don't know how I'm still in this game, I thought I'd be out long ago. I am convinced you and Galli are Mafia, and if not... whoops, we were hopeless anyway and the Mafia are probably laughing at us both. Also, Sam has been giving us clues and trying to help the Town, he wouldn't cover up a Mafia so well and only one of them.
@Sagetip good times... ;D
Everything from the Last story segment. Before that, there was nothing at all to suggest it, but plenty to suggest Peri. All that matters now is that half of us are Mafia. I know who ISN'T, which means you and Galli are Mafia.
Groddil, you've been acting like Mafia this whole time. I'm surprised you're still in. I know I won't make it through this round because you'll kill me. But if I did, I would vote you out.
@Aimless Gallivanter @Cornflower MM Guys, there is so much evidence against him, from the way he's been randomly accusing everyone to the way he's acting in the stories. You have to vote him out next round. Whoever is the Doctor, make sure you heal the right person. I've done what I can to help Town win, I don't know if I can do anything more.
Hey, the stories aren't very reliable. Remember this post?

Okay, I don't really like how this came out:
Quote from: TheMostSilentOfTheSams on July 14, 2016, 04:53:48 PM
Groddil immediately ran into his room an locked the door after the incident, and no one could unlock the door, so the candidates thought they could wait him out.
Later, someone found a key and opened Groddil's door, asking him to explain himself, and made everyone else come out. Groddil was looking very guilty.
Uh, no. Why would I look very guilty? I explained myself IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LAST STORY FRAGMENT, I wouldn't need to run away.
My vote goes for Perifaen, but a close second would probably be Galli.
For some reason, the story completely contradicted what I actually did.
Actually, the stories might be. It said the Mafia didn't clap for me, which means I'm not Mafia. Why didn't you clap for me, Groddil? You hurt my feelings ;D

Or, your Mafia partner was one of them. The other who didn't clap could have been WYLDER. Remember him? He could investigate people, remember? What if he investigated YOU, found out that YOU were Mafia, and didn't clap for you because he knew about your true intentions?
Of course Wylder didn't clap for me, he was dead.

This was before that.
Quote from: Night 1, Page 3Perifaen went out in the morning to see if everything was okay, as she heard something going on outside, but was too scared to go out in the night. After everyone heard her screams, they rushed outside to see what happened. Wylder was dead.
"How cruel!" Ashenwyte remarked. Everyone was so frightened that the murderers had struck again. Some people said that they should all go back into their doors and lock them again.
But Eulalia was not frightened. She was a politician! She encouraged democracy! "We must take a vote!" she yelled to everyone, "I do not want to kill anyone, but it is necessary in order for us to live, so we must vote on who we think are the killers!" Everyone, except two people in the crowd, applauded Eulalia. They would have a vote.
Guys, we have to vote Groddil out next round.
Turd muffins. There goes my evidence.
Yup. Guess who my vote goes for next round?
I dunno. Galli?
I thought you were Doctor :(
You're not the Doctor, Groddil. Corn probably is.
Quote from: Eulaliaaa! on July 26, 2016, 04:04:48 AM

Pretty rich coming from the Mafia. Corn's just Town, that's all that's left.
I'm not Mafia. There is so much evidence proving that you, though.
If anyone's not aware, the Cupid couple is still active.

I'd completely forgotten. :P
Technically, the Town has already lost. Mafia wins when it comprises 50% of the total players. But if you want to continue the game, it's your call.
I honestly played incompetently this game. Hopefully, I'll do better next time.
On another note, I've heard on several occasions that people find being a Villager (without any powers) rather boring. I can see this viewpoint. What if we did a game in which people could choose their roles? (Or at least, have some influence on it?) There'd have to be some organization to make sure there's still two Mafia, and it may still get VERY weird. But I'm down for crazy ideas :P

No! We can still win, so long as the Mafia try and "kill" the right people! Barely, but we can win, or at least tie! (under a set of VERY specific circumstances)
OOC: This is getting REALLY CRAZY.
As the candidates were becoming more and more suspicious of each other, they all decided that they would try and figure it out in the morning. Groddil, as he went to his room, had a strange feeling that he would be killed tonight. He had trouble sleeping, and was keeping his eye on the door the whole time. Until, he heard voices.
"I can't do it!"
"You have to!"
"You do it!"
"Fine."
Groddil, however, was prepared, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, and jelly on his chest. It was a (bad) plan, but maybe it would work. Soon, one of the people unlocked the door. Groddil turned around to face them, but was shot immediately. He rolled his eyes back, and pretended to be dead. It worked! The killers dragged him off to what was Wylder's room, where all the dead bodies were put. They left, and Groddil got up.
"Wow", Groddil said, looking at all of the other (dead) candidates, "we have truly lost our humanity."
He stayed there for the night.
------------------
Groddil has almost been killed by the Mafia.
There is one clue.
VOTE!
I am truly surprised by this outcome, let me just say. I will no longer make predictions.
Alright, let's vote.
with four people, it'll take three against one right? what happens if there's a tie?
We'll see what happens if there's a tie. I'll think about it in the time being.
I vote for Galli.
Please vote!!
Ok, this is going no where. Corn and Galli, who are you voting for?
who're you voting for?
You have no proof against me sir

Vote for Galli.
You know I'm very stubborn and contrary right? No? Well now you do.
Just for that sir,
and because this game is dragging out to long,
just for your careless accusations sir,
I vote Groddil
because i literally do not care anymore

Other than the fact that two of us are Mafia, and you are Mafia by process of elimination?
your process could be faulty sir. What if Corn and Eul are the Mafia? you have no proof that I am the Mafia.
1 Galli 1 Groddil NO CHANGING THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG.
I vote Galli.
Rude.
@Cornflower MM what's your vote?
Corn, to avoid a tie, you should vote for Galli too. I'd like to see how far this gets :P
*Sighs* Alright, I won't do a tie. Sorry, Galli.
I vote Galli.
@TheMostSilentOfTheSamsThat's three against one, Galli is out this round.

Why would you want to do a tie? The only tie would be to vote for me, and if I die...
do you have something you're hiding groddil? something youre hesitant to admit?
Nothing you can say to stop your own death, Mafia :P SilentSam said we can't change our votes now.
Quote from: Aimless Gallivanter on August 04, 2016, 10:41:36 PM

Yep. If I die, then nobody can help the other Town member to survive. Why do you think I survived last night?
i dunno boyo and im not trying to get out of dying because I know theres no point.
But dont you remember the last night? There was one hint? What is it?
The weird thing that stood out was one mafia was clearly hesitant to kill groddil.
Why?
My point is I think Groddil is part of the Cupid Couple.
I know it hardly matters.
But there ya go.
(If you aren't Mafia yourself, you made a serious blunder by voting for Groddil, who can't be one if he survived an assassination attempt.)

Well unless it's a gay couple, which I HIGHLY doubt, then duh Grodd's part of the Cupid couple.

Wait what? That means I don't wanna do a tie. . . ?
This is probably breaking a minor rule, but I'd just like to say that it's definitely not gay/lesbian. I'm not that weird.
oh that's true
welp
just kill me already spare me from my embarrassment

/me shrugs
The "sigh alright" part made it sound like you wanted to vote for me. :P
Uh. No.
Eh, my mistake.
@TheMostSilentOfTheSams Hellooooo!
Anyhow, this game is pretty much over now. So whoever is gonna be hosting the next Mafia game should probably put it up soon. We can finish this game while starting a new one.
Done.
Let's just finish this.
Me and Galli were Mafia. ;D And Groddil and I were the Cupid couple, and he was the Doctor. And my first post was because I actually didn't get a PM, but that was a stroke of luck. :P That was an interesting tangle, and it was really fun! CREDIT GOES TO GALLI FOR BEING AN AMAZING MAFIA PARTNER! She did all the magic, peeps! Well, it was mostly 60/40 to her. :P
awe nah you give me way too much credit :) you did a great job too, grodd never suspected you, and as the cupid couple you helped out a lot!!
what a great round!!
That's true, I did some awesome pieces of undercover work. ;D
Groddil and I knew you were both Mafia. We could have won, too, if Sam posted Galli's death. You would have tried to kill him or me at night, he would have healed me so I would be safe and we could vote you out two against one. If you went for him, you'd kill yourself as well, meaning I'd be last Town standing :P
Groddil thought you were Mafia Eul.
Yeah, otherwise I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have let a few pieces of info slip.
We've been working together since Peri got killed, you can tell cause we stop providing evidence and start blindly accusing each other without reason :P

wow yeah thats definitely what I call working together.
It worked. We wanted you to go after Groddil while he healed himself, and you did. ;D
So I'm confused. Who even won this round? ;D
Quote from: Fatch of Southsward on August 10, 2016, 11:59:12 PM

Town. Because no matter what happens, Eul will be the only one to survive.

No, because Mafia win when it's half town and half mafia. Ask
@Skyblade.
If it's one doctor and one Mafia, I'm not sure what the result would be. Realistically the Mafia should win, but technically, according to game rules, if the doctor is allowed to heal themselves (which personally I don't agree with, but people vary on that) it could be a draw.
There's also one other notable exception: according to common Cupid rules, a Cupid couple can win by being the last alive (if they're a Mafia-town couple).
Why haven't you played a round yet James? You'd be good at it.
I'm sorry I was inactive. Personally I thought that after Galli died, Corn would kill Eul, and the Cupid couple would win in some totally rare outcome.
