Edit: This is the final player list for this game. If you're interested in the game but didn't see the thread right away, hopefully when this game ends, we can have another one! :)

okay, sure...

so long as you dont go for Abreu and Jeter first! :D

Sounds like it might be interesting. My only question: what, precisely, is this "mafia game thingy" you speak of? :p

http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/The-Godfather-Poster-C12172258.jpeg

I am here.

I'm of Irish descent, so I can only be consiglieri.

Vaguely interested, but I have no idea what this is about...

As a three-quarters-Irish former resident of Boston, can I join the Irish Mafia?

Ditto but actually Irish.

Only if you're a Red Sox fan. :p

Done. :D

Ditto but actually Irish.

Yeah, I should've said "mostly Irish descent." I've got English, Dutch, French and Iroquois blood in me as well, though. Now that I think of it, I'm probably too much of a mutt for the mafia.

Done. :D

Good to see another one of us on the forums. :D

I'm interested.

Oddly enough, I just remembered this game some people would play on the bus ride to the band competitions, only they used playign cards.

Would this be liek that?

Wtf?

Just like that, but it wouldn't involve you taking off your clothes or putting a flute in a naughty place. :p

Ok, here's how the game works.

Everyone who wants to play will sign up. Once we have a reasonable amount of people, two mafia people and one doctor will be selected at random and notified of their selection via telegram. Everyone else is a townsperson.

The game alternates between two turns: night and day. Night is the mafia's turn. They collaborate to select a victim and write the scene of the murder. They place clues in the murder story, and at least one of them must refer to them each turn. They then send the murder story via telegram to either me or Kiryu-shi.

Also during the night, the doctor selects one townsperson to try to save and informs me or Kiryu-shi of their choice via telegram.

After we have received the input of both the mafia people and the doctor, we will post the murder scene. If the doctor selects the same townsperson as the mafia, then that townsperson is saved. After this point, it is day.

During the day, the townspeople, including the doctor and the mafia, have an opportunity to lynch one person. They will all vote, and whoever gets the most votes will be killed and so can no longer vote. If both mafia are voted off, then the townspeople win. However, if the mafia manage to kill all of the townspeople, then they win.

Here is an example (http://asexuality.org/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=21813&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0), and another explanation of the rules (and additional example) (http://asexuality.org/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=19284&highlight=mafia) that is probably better than mine.

Oh, I get this now. I've played it on another forum before, but there we called it spies and green berets.

<snip>

Just a suggestion, if a lot of people want to play we should probably have more mafiosi, to extend play somewhat.


Oh, and I'm in.

Oh have you now... silly Cluich. :p

Sounds like it could be a fun game though, if done properly. Chandy, the example you linked to had detectives in the game as well, are we going to have those?

So far I have:

Redwulf25
Utracia
Christmahanikwanzikah
Ifreann
Rameria
The blessed Chris
Londim
UN Protectorates
Deus Malum
Ghost Tigers Rise
Hetwan

Maybe? (please confirm if you want to play and are on this list):

Darknovae
Cluichstan


If you want to be added to or removed from the list, just say so. I think two mafia will be fine if we have 15 or fewer people, but for more than that three might work. In the 3 games I've played with maybe 10 or 11 people including two mafia, the mafia have won twice and the townspeople have one once, so I think that should be fair. But if we get more than that, it may be better to have 3.

No, and they ended up not using the detectives as it tends to make the game too complicated. I've also never been in charge of a mafia game before, although I have played the game three times. In the first I was an innocent townsperson who got lynched, in the second I survived and helped defeat the mafia, and I won as the mafia in the third. I think we should be fine with two mafia people and one doctor.

when are we going to play? im going to need to leave soon...

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna be Poirot!

Screw Poirot, I wanna be Horatio Caine. I have pseudo-science and techno-babble on my side.

when are we going to play? im going to need to leave soon...

As soon as I get confirmation from some of the other people who expressed interest, we should be good to go. Then I can select the mafia and doctor at random (probably using the probability simulator on the graphing calculator or something like that, or just by putting your names in a hat) and send telegrams to the selected people. Then they start plotting and I'll set a deadline for the murder scenes.

I know this kind of game. The death scenes are funny... Can I join?

YEa, I'll join as a townie.

All right. I updated the list above. People have until I get back from my shower to sign up or, in the case of Cluichstan and Darknovae, confirm that they want to play.

*ahem*
His trademark is putting on and removing his sunglasses (a pair of Silhouette Titanium Model 8568 with special dark polarized lenses), often several times in an episode. Online fans have begun to refer to the pair of sunglasses as the "Sunglasses of Justice."

The Tick rocks so much harder than Caine.

They tend to last more than a week, sometimes two or three, although it will probably be quicker on NSG than on AVEN where I have played it.

Ok, the final list is in and telegrams will be sent to the selected mafia and doctor shortly.

Londim
UN Protectorates

That's thirteen players, so two mafia and one doctor ought to suffice.

Wooooooooo!

The mafia and doctor have been contacted. They have a maximum of two days to send me the murder scene story including clues (mafia) and the name of the person they want to protect (doctor).

I know. You only missed it by maybe 20 minutes, but at this point everyone would know that you could not be the mafia or the doctor, so the mafia would be more likely to just kill you off as no one would vote to lynch you.

Ya have to have a detective, man. Or the poor townsfolk will never know who the mafia is, and there will be mass killings!

At least, thats how I played it.

The mafia is required to leave hints at the crime scene, and can only kill one person a turn. Everybody is their own detective. :)

After the mafia have made their move. I have received word from the doctor regarding the name of the person they want to protect this round, but I have not yet received the murder scene story.

Remember to check your TGs, everyone!

*pokes the mafiosi*

Work faster, you call yourselves gangsters? My dead grandfather could kill someone better than that!

Remember to check your TGs, everyone!

Yes, please do, everyone, and if you have a TG from me saying that you are the mafia, please contact me so that I know that you saw it. I have received word from the doctor and from one of the mafia, but the other mafia person has yet to respond.

Bad idea. Do not put clues in your night write-up unless you can be REALLY subtle, and I mean REALLY subtle with them.

Bad idea. Do not put clues in your night write-up unless you can be REALLY subtle, and I mean REALLY subtle with them.

We require that the mafia put clues into the stories so that the townspeople have a chance to figure out who it is. Ideally, they should be subtle with their own clues and obvious with false clues, but I won once by making my own clue really obvious in the first round and really subtle in the later rounds.

Wait, wait, the MAFIA writes the stories? Are you crazy? If the mafia writes the stories, what's to stop them putting clues in that would implicate innocents? No, this is just crazy talk.

Euh... did I miss the start of this?

And why is this in II?

That's the idea. They're allowed to plant as many clues towards innocents as they like, as long as there are clues pointing towards themselves. Then the townspeople must try to figure out the identity of the mafia based on the clues, posting behavior, etc. It has worked this way several times on AVEN, as seen in the examples.

Euh... did I miss the start of this?

It seems like you didn't, you're signed up! :)

Yes. Lets kill this Iffrean person.

Maybe you can even offer your ideas on the Mafia is, even if your votes don't count.

Midnight, in a dark alley, on a damp winter night, the chilling rain drenching the late-night pedestrian or the homeless guy with not even a cardboard box to his name, a body is found.

A body that was the victim of a horrendous murder. The blood that seeped from the bullet hole flowed a crimson river into a gutter, diluted with the rain-water from the burst gutter pipe, that flowed like a waterfall, and splattered onto the bodies face.

Or at least it would have, had the pancake not been there. The criminals calling card, perhaps. A buttered pancake covered the stiff's bloodless face, with a fork pronged into it for good measure. The corpse's riger mortis induced fingers were tainted with blood over it's finger tips, pointed in the direction of the wall. A faint drawing could be made out, drawn in the victim's blood. A dog... or a cat? Red as a robin breast.

Questioning of the district found that the victim had been dining at the local fancy resteraunt, where apparently the White House Correspondant's dinner had been taking place. Amongst the guest list were many political activists and politicos, who'd gate-crashed the party and created chaos. A list personalities. The President and some of his staff, obviously, the Press Corps, Roger Ailes. Apparently some psycho decided to torch the place, proclaiming there needed to be some "New World Order" or World government, or somethin'.

The case continues.

Deceased: Hetwan
.

Edit: There is now a round of discussion and voting by everyone still alive. Good luck! :)

Ifreann's Fact Analysis:
Death by single gunshot
A buttered pancake pinned to the victim's face by a fork
Victim drew an animal on the wall in his/her own blood, a dog or cat
Victim was present at local restaurant at which a dinner for White House correspondents was taking place, which for some strange reason was attended by many A-list personalities, the President and his staff, numerous press(presumably other than the correspondents).
{A note to the Mafia, White House correspondents are journalists who report on events in or related to the White House and do so from somewhere in the vicinity of the White House. The President and A-List personalities would not attend a dinner for them}
Aforementioned restaurant was burned down by a "psycho" who wished to establish a New World Order.

FYI, Hetwan was the doctor. That means that there is a little less hope for the townspeople...

Everyone, you have three days to vote, and after that time Kiryu and I will write the death scene of the person with the most votes.

It is now Day.

I vote we kill RedWulf25. It was a drawing was red and dog-like, ergo, wolf-like.

I vote we kill RedWulf25. It was a drawing was red and dog-like, ergo, wolf-like.

That hadn't occurred to me.

How the hell did they killed the doctor already? That sounds suspicious.

I guess one hint we could use is the one where the writer used the word "Politico", which is portuguese and spanish based. Maybe that could be a hint that the guy who wrote it has spanish or portuguese as his main language. Unfortunaly I dont know an efficient way to find out where everyone is from, since no one adds this information in their profile. Also, there are a lot of english mistakes, which could mean the guy doesnt know english that much.

But we could find the "where are you from" posts and find out.

Indeed! I was trying to connect the dots, trying to link a suspect to a red cat, but then I realised wait it might be a dog/canine ergo a wolf/lupine.

The Pancake must be an attempt to frame DarkNovae.

Is Darknovae a pancake freak?

Btw, we could cross the information between the age and the place of birth of the people involved. Because the english used on this writing was so bad even I could´ve had done it better. The people who used it must be either very young or not that used to english or writing.

Well they don't seem to know what a White House Correspondent is.

Both. We can find the two threads and cross the information.

Wow. It feels like we're real detectives or something.

I'm dead? Ok... *Does patented ghost dance* Sucks to be the townies. ;)

Beter to be shot than to be lynched to death.

Wow. It feels like we're real detectives or something.

Everything to stop yourself from getting a bullet or being lynched by your own fellows.

True, True... *nods in approval*

The pancake was a little much...

Indeed! I was trying to connect the dots, trying to link a suspect to a red cat, but then I realised wait it might be a dog/canine ergo a wolf/lupine.

The Pancake must be an attempt to frame DarkNovae.

Let's out RedWulf!

Do you really think I'd leave such an obvious clue? Besides there was no subtlety to this death, were I to assassinate someone I would stage an accident or poison their drink. Like DarkNovae I am being framed. Ghost Tigers on the other hand seems awful quick to leap to the accusation ...

Well I suppose it could go either way... The clue seems to point to both of you, on the surface.

Perhaps it was Darknovae, but figured the clue was so blatantly obvious, no-one would follow it.

We're both being framed I think. By Ghost Tiger most likely. The rest of the clues don't seem to point anywhere near either of us but GT leaped right at me with a suspicious vengeance . . .

Both RedWulf25 and Ghost Tigers are suspects here. The drawing (cat or dog) initially indicates RedWolf. Of course.

On further analysis, a tiger is a type of cat. Perhaps the drawing of a cat on a wall was to indicate the rise of Ghost Tigers...? ;)

Think for a second... the drawing and the pancake could be thinly-veiled attempts to throw three of us into the noose. For example, the pancake could have been planted, of course.... Moving on, the The mafia could have used the fingers and blood of the deceased to draw the painting. The use of "...or a dog" indicates that the author tried to establish another false lead after reading the names of those enlisted. Blood wouldn't have been found on the ground because the pancake was lodged in the head and it was raining hard; instead, the mafia would only need enough blood to draw a "faint" picture of a "cat... or a dog"

My vote is for Northern Borders. The apostrophe use in the telegram was sporadic and wrong in certain places. Northern Borders' posts have contained patterns of word repetition after contractions (I could've had done it better.) Also, to point out the mistakes of another's English is one thing - to follow it by silly English mistakes is another (Because the english used on this writing... The people who used it)

BTW, we could just go to DarkNovae's nation page and see on top "I am teh PANCAKE." Give it a rest.

EDIT: okay, its "dog... or a cat." you get it.

Great analysis. The two suspects I would put forward though are RedWulf or Ghost Tigers. Many killers leave a calling card of some kind. This could be one.

That and the mafia have to leave a clue that points to one of them.

True but again double bluff. Make the clue so obvious it would be overlooked. Sometimes the solution is simple.

Ugh, I leave for a short period of time and now I am totally confused.

Only an amature or a psychopath leaves calling cards. The only calling card a professional needs is the corpse of their victim.

Ghost Tigers remains my vote for now.

That and the mafia have to leave a clue that points to one of them.

I suppose there is agreement that the pancake clue was a bit too obvious? :p

Where are the others? Has everyone been reminded of what is going on?

Where are the others? Has everyone been reminded of what is going on?

I don't suppose you know when we are supposed to make our vote?

I sent a TG out to everyone playing this game. As Chandelier has already said, votes will be counted three days from the time of the murder. Everyone playing except the dead can vote at anytime prior to the deadline.

I don't suppose you know when we are supposed to make our vote?

You have until three days after the posting of the murder scene to vote.

Where are the others? Has everyone been reminded of what is going on?

Kiryu said that he sent out telegrams to let everyone know.

I suppose there is agreement that the pancake clue was a bit too obvious? :p

I still maintain that the clue pointing at me was to obvious as well . . .

I also point out that I was not under suspicion until Ghost Tigers pointed their finger my way after THEY were accused.

Well you very well could be the killer. That drawing of an animal would certainly be an indication after all.

I also point out that I was not under suspicion until Ghost Tigers pointed their finger my way after THEY were accused.

Well it being red points more to you than to GTR.

I had followed the clues, and it seemed that all the hard work would finally pay off. At last I had found the town where the Mafia was hiding. Surely, the Don would be here somewhere.

Pulling my coat closer to shield against the damp and cold winter night, I slid back into the shadows in the alley. I felt safer here. Being alone in the darkness was fitting, as I was alone in this town, an outsider whose only role seemed to be to watch the gathering darkness engulf the quiet hamlet.

I shivered, but not from the cold. A vision had flashed before my eyes, a vision of the grisly scene I had seen earlier. The eyes, open and empty, staring accusingly at me from afar, as if the Doctors last thought had been that I came too late to save him. Was it too late to save the town as well? It was too early to tell.

They were here. That was the only thing that was certain. I glanced at my notepad, trying my best to keep it safe from the sleet in the air. "UN Protectorates - questionmark - has been busy - must take a closer look" was written in red ink.

The pancake was too obvious. Or was it? Could Darknovae really be a cold-blooded killer? Maybe she was the one on the pictures in the envelope that was pushed under my door the night I got here. Or was it just a frame-up? I did not like the idea of that at all. That would mean that the Cosa Nostra already knew that I was here. That could be... unhealthy.

The confused man, I'd seen him somewhere before too. I should write down the name before I forget it. Heh, it's amazing how much information $50 could get you, if you just found the right cop to bribe. Damnit! The pen sputtered its last drops of ink and died. It seemed like death was stalking me too. That was a bed omen if I ever saw one. Ah well, I would remember it until I got to my safe house. Utracia. It was a difficult name to forget...

I slowly made my way towards the closest restaurant. Some food and local gossip would both come in handy.

Well it being red points more to you than to GTR.

On the other hand he really didn't have anything on hand that wasn't red did he? He did it in his own blood, of course it's red!

I am formally renouncing my previous vote. My vote now is for Ghost Tigers Rise.

After reading the message again, I realized that the "Red as a robin's breast" is an afterthought to the previous message. One would only have to think about blood to realize that it is red. However, the redness of the blood was enhanced by the next sentence, beginning with Red. This means that the author of the story was trying to frame RedWolf by mentioning the word Red instead of just saying blood because both of the mafia realized that we would react to the word Red rather than the natural color of blood.

I find it impossible that the victim was able to draw the "face of the attacker" on the wall when dead from a shot to the head. Remember, the pancake pinned to the head stopped the bleeding.

On the other hand he really didn't have anything on hand that wasn't red did he? He did it in his own blood, of course it's red!

Yeah, 'cause it's real hard to find a marker. Or paint.


Furthermore, I accuse thee because the clues are strong, but not blatant. Who fits the description better?

On top of that, you say me pointing my finger makes me more suspicious. You're pointing your finger right that. So let's break this down:

GTR:
animal symbol at the scene = 1 piece of evidence against me.

Redwulf25:
animal symbol at the scene + symbol is red = 2 pieces of evidence against you.

Accusing someone does not factor into this equation, because all townspeople must accuse someone. Furthermore, being accused does not factor into the equation, because doing so would basically be saying: "the subject is guilty because he has been accused of being guilty". That is a logical fallacy (affirming the consequent, I believe), and should have no bearing in this matter.

:D

Yeah, 'cause it's real hard to find a marker. Or paint.

From the crime scene itself: A faint drawing could be made out, drawn in the victim's blood.

As for the townsfolk being required to accuse someone, so are the Mafia. If they didn't accuse someone then we would know the people who accused no one were Mafia . . .

I find it impossible that the victim was able to draw the "face of the attacker" on the wall when dead from a shot to the head. Remember, the pancake pinned to the head stopped the bleeding.

Indeed. It seems we have found a contradiction. The victim could not have drawn the picture of the "red wolf" in his own blood. It seems that this indicates the murder was carried out thus:

1. The victim is somehow ushered into the alley. Chased perhaps, or pushed. It seems unlikely that he was dragged into the alley, since that would leave a trail of blood, unless it was washed away by the rain. The alley was the scene of the crime.

2. The victim is shot in the head. He is no doubt dead before he hits the ground. The murderer then dips the fingers of the victim into his wound, drawing blood onto the fingertips. He then uses the victims bloody fingers to draw a picture of a wolf on the nearby wall.

3. He then puts a pancake upon the head of the victim and rams a fork into it.

2. The victim is shot in the head. He is no doubt dead before he hits the ground. The murderer then dips the fingers of the victim into his wound, drawing blood onto the fingertips. He then uses the victims bloody fingers to draw a picture of a wolf on the nearby wall.


You keep calling it a wolf, it was described as being cat or dog like. Lets not have a rush to judgment here, unless you rush to judge someone else! :p

You seem to be the only one arguing for sweet reason where suspicions directed at you are concerned.

*gives suspicious look at Redwulf*

..A body that was the victim of a horrendous murder. The blood that seeped from the bullet hole flowed a crimson river into a gutter, diluted with the rain-water from the burst gutter pipe, that flowed like a waterfall, and splattered onto the bodies face.

Or at least it would have, had the pancake not been there.

This can be read two ways.
The blood was not diluted by the rainwater coming from the burst pipe because the wound to the head was covered by the pancake.
The water from the burst pipe did not splatter onto the victims face because of the pancake there.

So, we can't really conclude that the victim was shot in the head.

The corpse's riger mortis induced fingers were tainted with blood over it's finger tips, pointed in the direction of the wall. A faint drawing could be made out, drawn in the victim's blood. A dog... or a cat? Red as a robin breast.

Note: finger tips. One doesn't use all 10 fingers to draw. Though this is probably over analysing, as it could just be the poor English skills of the mafia showing through(filthy i-talians :p). Unfortunately, we once again can't conclude either way as to whether the cat/dog thing was drawn by the victim or not, the killer/s could just have easily have dipped his finger(s?) in his blood after killing him.

At this point the only clue that points unambiguously at one person is the pancake.

I had just finished my second cup of coffee of the day - good quality coffee too, that girl Edna behind the counter knew her stuff, I would have to remember that when the bill came around - when I completely unintentional overheard parts of a conversation from a nearby table. An irish guy going by the name Ifreann or something said some derogatory stuff about italians in general. Placing the cup back down on the table gently, I made a mental note of what I'd heard. The irish were renowned for being active players in organized crime too, could this guy be one of them too? Was he trying to cloud the issue by claiming that the other leads found on the scene were inconclusive? Or was he investigating the case? He didn't mention that the pancake probably wasn't brought onto the scene by the Doc himself - so the killer must have placed it there. He was right about two things, however: The Doctor was shot, but a single glance would not reveal where he was shot. I couldn't know if the Doc had painted on the wall or if someone else had done that for him. And the steak they served in this place really was to die for. I decided to get another cup of coffee while enjoying the aftermath of the meal...

...dining at the local fancy resteraunt... investigation will empiracally prove the location

I might just change my vote...

I vote on Ghost Tigers Rise.

First, he was the second to write here on this board, only 30 minutes after the death scene was posted. Ifrean doesnt count because he is a spammer. :D
Second, he was very intent on framing RedWulf, in his very first message, basing it on something that not even Ifrean noticed.
Third, I think he is not from an english speaking country, which could means english is not his first language.

LETS LYNCH HIM FOR RIGHT AND GOOD (if he is innocent, god forgive us).

Okay, here's my reasoning:

If we're going on typing, we choose The blessed Chris. I read his posts... some Engrish deficiencies. The first quote is from another forum; the second is from the murder scene.

If we're going on "evidence," we go with either Darknovae, RedWolf25 or Ghost Tigers Rise. Since the pancake was an obvious plant, Darknovae is either the prime suspect or the framed. RedWolf25 was obviously framed, for reasons I already posted. Finally, there's Ghost Tigers Rise. The "... or a cat?" would seem to mean that it was put in as an afterthought, but I think that might have been on purpose.

I don't mean to flop on everything I say, but I now feel that The blessed Chris could be connected to the crime. For one, he hasn't made a single accusation or assessment of the crime on this forum. This indicates (to me) that he is either involved in the mafia or afraid to make a decision. In this case, the former should be true because of the number of evidences presented.

He could also be the one or two that doesn't check his TGs... :D

Second, he was very intent on framing RedWulf, in his very first message, basing it on something that not even Ifrean noticed.

True. He even noted the dog/wolf connection.

I vote on Ghost Tigers Rise.

First, he was the second to write here on this board, only 30 minutes after the death scene was posted. Ifrean doesnt count because he is a spammer. :D
Okay... so was online at the time. You got me. Wow.

So much more suspicious than Ifreann's earlier and more in-depth analysis. :rolleyes:
Second, he was very intent on framing RedWulf, in his very first message, basing it on something that not even Ifrean noticed.
To be fair, he's doing the same to me. And, from a certain point of view (i.e., mine), I'm the one being framed.
Third, I think he is not from an english speaking country, which could means english is not his first language.
So many things wrong with this statement.
First of all, I was born in Florida, and I've never been outside of the East Coast.
Second, if you paid any attention to me at all on NSG, you'd note that I'm always talking about how awesome living in New Jersey was, how much I hate living in the DC area, how much the New Jersey Devils rock, etc
And, finally, I'm much more literate and have much more mastery than eighty or ninety per cent of Americans on the internet, if not this individual forum.
LETS LYNCH HIM FOR RIGHT AND GOOD (if he is innocent, god forgive us).
Hey, Northern Borders used bad grammar! Let's kill him!

You seem to be the only one arguing for sweet reason where suspicions directed at you are concerned.

*gives suspicious look at Redwulf*

I must use sweet reason as no one else is, this red drawing is if you will pardon the pun a red herring. It seems as obvious a red herring as the pancake. What I'm wondering about now are those townsfolk who are remaining conspicuously silent. What do they have to hide? <paranoid :eek: >

This can be read two ways.
The blood was not diluted by the rainwater coming from the burst pipe because the wound to the head was covered by the pancake.
The water from the burst pipe did not splatter onto the victims face because of the pancake there.

So, we can't really conclude that the victim was shot in the head.

At this point the only clue that points unambiguously at one person is the pancake.

The pancake is as much a red herring as the drawing. Put there deliberately to point towards the peaceful Darknova.

Dont know. Maybe they arent talking because they dont have anything to say. Or because they dont know where this thread is.

Or maybe they are afraid and doesnt want to become the next target. After all, the mafia will probabily kill either me, Iffrean, Christmahanikwanzikah or Redwulf.

Ok, here are the votes as I've counted them so far.

RedWulf25 : 5 votes (Ghost Tigers Rise, UN Protectorates, Ifreann, Utracia, Deus Malum)
Ghost Tigers Rise: 4 votes (RedWulf 25, Northern Borders, Londim, Christmahanikwanzikah)

If I missed someone's vote or missed someone changing their vote, please let me know. Everyone who hasn't voted has until tonight to do so, but only half of you have voted...

Yet to vote:
Rameria
The blessed Chris
Darknovae

I'm going to go with Ghost Tigers Rise on this one.

RedWulf25.

He protests too much. :D

:eek: What happens in a tie vote?

So much more suspicious than Ifreann's earlier and more in-depth analysis. :rolleyes:
Kiryu-shi told me the story was up on MSN after he posted it.
The pancake is as much a red herring as the drawing. Put there deliberately to point towards the peaceful Darknova.

The peaceful part is irrelevant. The mafia were picked randomly.

:eek: What happens in a tie vote?

Well, we aren't completely sure, but we'll either submit for a revote with only two options, ask the ghost *coughhetwancough* to break the tie, or possibly have a double lynching. Hope this answers your question/prolongs your agony. :)

RedWulf25 : 4 votes (Ghost Tigers Rise, UN Protectorates, Ifreann, Utracia)
Ghost Tigers Rise: 3 votes (RedWulf 25, Northern Borders, Londim)
Northern Borders: 1 vote (Christmahanikwanzikah)

You can go ahead and change my vote to Ghost Tigers Rise.

Either let them present their case, then we vote or do it the old fashioned political way...

flip a coin.

We'll wait and see if anyone else comes to vote first.

Ok, so if we're tied we will let the vote go on for another day, to let other people vote and/or giving Hetwan a tie breaking vote. If neither of these things happen in the overtime voting, both suspects will be killed.

Ok, so if we're tied we will let the vote go on for another day, to let other people vote and/or giving Hetwan a tie breaking vote. If neither of these things happen in the overtime voting, both suspects will be killed.

The townspeople should be advised to proceed with caution at this point. If both of the suspects are mafia, and both are lynched, then the townspeople will have won. If one is innocent and the other is guilty, then there will only be one mafia left. On the other hand, if both are innocent, the townspeople would be playing right into the hands of the mafia if they lynched both.

I could practically feel the paranoia sliding down the walls themselves, it was that close to tangible. Things had taken a turn for the worse! RedWulf25 had been fingered as an infiltrator, and rightly so as the only clue that the Doc could have placed pointed to him... or Ghost Tigers Rise, it was true. I had nothing on either person, though RedWulf25 did bear a striking resemblance to supposedly deceased Salvatore "Shotgun Sal" Salieri.

The townspeople seemed to be in the mood for a hanging, and someone was running out of time quickly. Maybe even two persons would have a date with the rope in the morning - after all, that would be the natural solution in such a paranoid environment. Invoking the spirit of the dead doctor to help decide who would be fed to the birds was, in my view, just a silly and suprestitious idea. After all, the man was dead, and that was hardly a condition in which to vote on anything.

Bah, I decided to take a huge risk, and ordered the chocolate cake. A lethal poison if I ever saw one, but oh so tempting...

The peaceful part is irrelevant. The mafia were picked randomly.

Hey, we're in II. I'm trying to add at least a hint of RP to my post.

Hmm... Am I allowed to things now that I'm dead?

Hmm... Am I allowed to things now that I'm dead?

You can add in your input and theories about who killed you and we're considering letting you be the tie-breaker if the current tie is not broken.

I'm voting for Redwulf as well.

I'm giving the three people who have yet to vote until noon EST to vote. At that point, if I don't receive any votes that change it, RedWulf25 will be lynched.

RedWulf25 was sitting at home reading a book when he heard the sound of what could only be a mob of angry Generalites approaching, seeking justice for the murder of the doctor Hetwan. He put down his book when he heard a repeated bashing against his door, followed by the sound of the door falling down.

RedWulf25, panicking but determined to escape an unjust lynching, hurriedly opened his bedroom window as the smell of smoke from the torches held by Utracia, Londim, Deus Malum, and Christmahanikwanzikah reached his nose after they set his living room ablaze.

After he defenestrated himself and landed on the grass, he was shocked to see that Ifreann and UN Protectorates were right beside him. They seized him and dragged him to a nearby tree after tying his hands with a bungee cable. Northern Borders and Ghost Tigers Rise were waiting by the tree with a chestnut-colored horse and some rope already fashioned into a noose and attached to a large branch on the left side of the tree.

Redwulf25 protested and tried to convince the townspeople that they were making a terrible mistake, but it was in vain.

As the sun set on the town, the chestnut-colored horse galloped away and the neck of the innocent RedWulf25 snapped. While the unfortunate townsperson’s house was in flames, those who had started the fire came out to see his untimely demise, knowing that two murderers were among them (unless they were among the absentees?) and were beginning to plot the death of another innocent even now.

It is now Night.

Mafia, you have two days.

And yes, Gravlen, I took your style of bolding all the names

Also, there are no clues in this scene.

Well. I guess an oops is called for here.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!?@@%(@U%@*%&@%*(&@% :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: NOOB ATACK

It was so obvious that RedWulf was inocent god dammit, and you people have killed him. You have his blood on your hands, not mine.

I say lets kill Ghost Tigers next. No animals allowed here.

What a mistakah to make-ah eh?

Any way we can snap his neck back into place? :p

Also, oops.

I say we wait till the next murder scene to decide who to lynch.

Failing that, I say we kill Northern Borders, because he apparently knew RedWulf was innocent and didn't say anything.

Yes, I didnt say anything else besides that we should lynch Ghost Tigers and not Redwulf.

As the sun set on the town, the chestnut-colored horse galloped away and the neck of the innocent RedWulf25 snapped.
- An excerpt from the journal of Ghost Tigers Rise
Can't say I didn't see it coming. There was no doubt in my mind that he was innocent. God forgive me, but he would have done the same (and, indeed, he tried to, the sniveling weasel).

Really, I was damned either way. I knew that, if I didn't do something drastic (like bring attention to the red herring), I'd just be killed. That's my luck.

I know where my fellow citizens will descend next. I have a revolver and a single bullet. I'll take the dignity of choosing my own time to die, rather giving my esteemed peers the pleasure of lynching me.

This is just to let the mafia know that I will be gone for most of the day tomorrow, so you should probably send the murder scene to Kiryu-shi if you submit it tomorrow.

*pokes the mafia*

I have received a telegram from the mafia, but I am not sure if it is the final draft or not, as last time the telegram I received was different from what Kiryu posted. I need confirmation from the mafia first.

The house was quiet and all seemed like a normal night. The TV was on, reporting a murder that had happened before,the murder of Redwulf. The viewer seemed to be intently watching the screnn as if his life depended on it. However that wasn't possibel as he was dead, he being Ghost Tigers Rise. The scene was slightly surreal. A song was playing in the background. Thw words Have A Nice Day were being repeated, a nice calm song. It didn't belong. Again a pancake was there but this time on Ghost Tigers lap. Maybe his final meal or maybe a clue... Also random pictures seemed to be dotted around the room that just didn;t belong. A picture of a cat here, a flying fish there...very strange indeed.

It is now Day.

Townspeople, you have three days to vote.

Ifreann's Fact Analysis
Cause of death is unknown
A pancake was found in the victim's lap
A calm song with the lyrics "Have a nice day" was playing. Most likely Have A Nice Day (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/roswell/haveaniceday.htm) by the Stereophonics(IMO)
Random pictures were dotted around the room, including a cat and a flying fish. It is unknown if they were drawn by the victim or the killer

Ifreann's Suspect will be updated pending investigation. I believe that the pictures of the cat and the flying fish are an attempt to frame me. There was a thread recently in which I posted a flying fish, and I have posted several(ok far more than that) cat pics. I'm going to check that thread for people who are playing.

Thread in question (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=522459&page=1)

There are 8 townspeople left.
There are 2 Mafiosi left.
The doctor is dead.

I vote we lynch Londim.

Cause of death is unknown

The autopsy is in progress. You will be informed of the results after...well, after more people post here...

I say we lynch Ifreann.

My reasoning:
His well thought out posts on the facts.
His details on the crime scene artfully "gleaned" from the scene.
It is the perfect method of diversion away from his true nature as a Mafioso.

[ghostly voice @ all those who wanted me lynched]bite me. bi-i-i-i-i-te me! I t-o-o-o-o-l-d you! I fucking t-o-o-o-o-o-o-ld you![/ghostly voice]
*ghostly howl and disappearance*

WTF LOL! :D

ARE THESE MAFIA STUPID OR WHAT? ARENT THEY TRYING TO WIN THIS GAME?!

And they kill the next guy who was going to get lynched. Man, that was way too stupid for me to believe in it.

So much that I´m almost believing the pancake man is the actual suspect.

I don't think it's Darknovae still. I mean, the mafia were obviously watching the thread and decided the only recourse was to kill Ghost Tigers, leaving Darknovae as the only person a clue pointed to.

Although his lack of a defense for this is stunningly odd... and I'm also wondering why I didn't get a TG for this...

The autopsy has found that the cause of death was poisoning by cyanide.


And Christmahanikwanzikah, why would you get a TG? Oh, kiryu usually sends those, I think, and I haven't had any contact with him for a few days...although I have seen him post recently so we must just have been online at different times...

Oooh, count me in for the next game.

Yeah, I've been online a bit sporadically the last couple of days. I didn't know we had the murder scene till a quite a few hours after Chandelier posted it, so I didn't send out TGs...

You're calling Darknovae a man now? I thought lopping off the last part of my name (It's Ghost Tigers Rise, or GTR, not Ghost Tigers) was annoying, but that's just uncalled for...

On the contrary, now the most obvious suspect is Pancake, so they're trying to force us to vote for her.

You know, you pointing out your own love for cat and flying fish pics is a good point.

*gives very suspicious look*

Which Families are partaking, just the damn NYC five I guess :(

Reluctantly I had to admit it - they had won this round. And they had gotten away with it.

I found myself back at the restaurant, staring into the bottom of a glass of scotch, the ice cubes melting just like Roxy's heart back in 'Vegas when I gave her that diamond necklace. But that was ancient history. The only dame in my life now was Edna, and she was an angel with the booze though not...

My train of thought was derailed by a treetrunk of a memory pushing its way in. I could remember the look in the eyes of Redwulf25 as the horse started to run. I could remember the shock I felt seeing... or rather not seeing the tattoos on his belly as he was writhing at the end of the rope.

I lit a cigarette. Shotgun Sal was dead. And now an innocent civillian was too. And I had done nothing, because I had believed in the words of a dead man. Believed that the Doc was pointing him out. But it was becomming clear now, that all the clues were misleading possibly placed there by il Cosa Nostra themselves. Two for the price of one. I felt sick.

Taking a deep breath, I knew it had just begun. I now suspected that whomever the Mafia was, it was probably someone... stealthy. Someone who hadn't spoken much or drawn attention to themselves. Someone... someone whom the clues did not point towards. I was just about to look at my notes again when a rugged man ran through the door. I swung around, desperately grabbing my .38 under my jacket, but the man ignored me completely. I recognized him as Jasper, the mortician. He went straight up to Edna and said: "I need a stiff drink. A large one. You won't believe this: They found Ghost Tigers Rise. He's dead!"

He was wrong. I could believe it.

Yeah, I've been online a bit sporadically the last couple of days. I didn't know we had the murder scene till a quite a few hours after Chandelier posted it, so I didn't send out TGs...

Eh, izz kool. I found out about it anyway, no?

Hold on a sec... It's agreed that the only three suspects in the first murder case were RedWolf25, Ghost Tigers Rise, and Darknovae, right? The whole cat/dog red thing was apparently the biggest thing in the case.

If each mafia story is supposed to contain at least one bit of evidence against the mafia, wouldn't the last piece of evidence left indicate that Darknovae is a member of the mafia?

I vote for Darknovae.

Yeah, that does look pretty bad. Actually, I'm really regretting saying it bcause now I'm gonna get lynched. :(

That hadn't occured to me at all *feels teh stoopid*.

Though there could have been a clue that we missed in the blurb about the restaurant getting burned down.

Chandelier has given us a new clue, mentioning that the source of death was cyanide.

As far as I can see it, she thought the original message didnt contain enough clues, and added this one as extra to give us some more info.

Anyone has any idea?

Wikipedia:
Etymology
The word "cyanide" was probably extracted from "ferrocyanide", which came from Latin ferrum = "iron" and Greek κυανεος = "blue", referring to the blue color of Prussian blue.
In nature
Cyanides can be produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae, and are found in a number of foods and plants. Cyanide is found, but in small amounts, in apple seeds and almonds.[2] In plants, cyanides are usually bound to sugar molecules in the form of cyanogenic glycosides and serve the plant as defense against herbivores. Cassava roots (aka manioc), an important potato-like food grown in tropical countries, contain cyanogenic glycosides[3][4].

The Fe-only and [NiFe]-hydrogenase enzymes contain cyanide ligands at their active sites. The biosynthesis of cyanide in the [NiFe]-hydrogenases proceeds from carbamoylphosphate, which converts to cysteinyl thiocyanate, the CN- donor. [5]

Well the pancake has appeared again. Either the mafia wants us to lynch Darknovae or Darknivae is in the mafia. However the pictures, as pointed out, are an Ifreann special. Lets go back to the first scene where Redwulf was killed. There was a drawing on a cat/dog, a picture even. Maybe Darknovae and Ifreann are both in the mafia.

That part with the fish though sounds pretty damning though. It is a bit more vague though, not everyone may know of Ifrean and his pics. I don't think there is anyone on all of NS who doesn't know of the Darknovae/pancake connection. Unless they are making this game really easy it still sounds like a false clue.

The pancake clue is too obvious, so I'm not voting for Darknovae. Can't figure out the other clues though...

I still say we vote for lynching Ifreann.

How 'bout we lynch Darknovae, then Ifreann? Then we eliminate the most obvious source of all of our clues, and if that doesn't work, then we eliminate the next source of our clues.

Though there could have been a clue that we missed in the blurb about the restaurant getting burned down.

Know any of these people to be arsonists? :D

I'd say the clue lies in the person with the whole "New World Order" thing...

It's times like this that I wish I paid some attention to the politics of the other generalites.

Current Votes:
Ifreann, 4 vote(s): Deus Malum, Londim, Utracia, Northern Borders
Darknovae, 2 vote(s): Christmahanikwanzikah, Rameria
Londim, 1 vote(s): Ifreann

The deadline for votes is tonight but I can extend it if everyone needs more time to make a decision.

I'm going to vote on Ifreann this time. Its just the link of pictures. Pretty damning if I do say so myself.

This seems rather sensible. I vote for Darknovae.
