Bzzz... Qalyn, you can't do that. No self-accusations, please. This town doesn't approve of assisted suicide. Just mob justice.
 
 
Tezcatlipoca
13:00 / 08.01.03
Well, I vote we all lynch Lionheart.
And I think I'll have the family deal with Jupiter Jade later...
 
 
Ethan Hawke
13:17 / 08.01.03
***Your attention please****

Accusations MUST be made publicly, here in the thread, NOT through PM.

It's not so scary to call someone out in public, is it?
 
 
grant
13:28 / 08.01.03
How do we know when an accusation counts? I mean, how many accusations = a lynching?
Think this catherd is ever gonna get unanimous?
That said, I think Tezcatlipoca is not joking about family. I also think Persephone is trying too hard to guide public opinion.
Hmm.
Persephone.
It's the numbers in the post quotes. Too authoritative. Too... knowing.
 
 
Lionheart
13:29 / 08.01.03
I didn't know all the rules before. Then I read them a few days back and that's why I didn't ask Sax if he was mafia because as Todd said: We're not allowed to reveal if we are mafia, seer or villager publicly. And so instead of going around and asking people if they're mafia (which, btw, seems ridiculous. as if the mafia would reply that they're mafia) I decided to go after the most suspicious person on here. Who was that? It was Sax. Think about it. He acts like mafia and when I accuse him directly he doesn't deny and now he claims he didn't know that he was being accused?

Think, people. Something's up here.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
13:36 / 08.01.03
Are you accusing Sax, officially, Lionheart?

***Okay, from now on - it "counts" when you say, in a paragraph by itself, "I accuse ______".

That'll make it clear.

So far - votes I have "counted":

Tezcatlipoca - voted for Lionheart
Jupiter Jade - voted for Tezcatlipoca
grant - voted for Persephone
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
13:52 / 08.01.03
Since I can't accuse the least likely person, myself, I accuse Jupiter Jade.
 
 
Persephone
13:59 / 08.01.03
Tch, I dare you. I'm not afraid to die. If you kill me, all you will find is that I have been telling the truth about being a villager. I might do that, if I were you.

The other way is to kill bio K9. If he's Mafia, then I'm right. If he's a seer or a villager, then you have a problem: either *I'm* Mafia and I've taken down my first innocent victim, or I've made a terrible mistake as a villager. But then you can just kill me in the next round to find out. I've already told you what you'll find about me. So that's going to be a waste of time, not to mention lives.

I'm more curious about the latter option, simply because I'm not sure about bio K9. Whereas I'm quite sure of who I am. But truthfully I'm not as eager about killing bio K9 --as opposed to being killed myself-- because I'd rather be dead than wrong.

But since I can't kill myself:

"I accuse bio K9."
 
 
The Strobe
14:15 / 08.01.03
Hmn. I think Persephone might be onto something here.

I vote Bio K9, too.
 
 
Whisky Priestess
14:19 / 08.01.03
I'm not so sure - I reckon that if I were Mafia I'd lie pretty damn low around about the time voting was happening, so that people would forget I was there (much easier to do online than IRL) ad therefore forget to vote me off for the spaghetti-suking scum I was.

And on this purely nominal basis, seeing as he has only peeped once since Page 1, and I'm not sure I'm convinced by his proud boasts of being a loyal Toddsylvanian through and through (the Mafia are notorious for killing their own, y'know) -

I accuse grant.
 
 
Tezcatlipoca
14:21 / 08.01.03
We're not allowed to reveal if we are mafia, seer or villager publicly.

But we are allowed to bluff, which means, if everybody keeps to the above rule, asking them if they are Mafia ensures that - if they choose to answer - they can only select one of two possibilities (unless of course a double-bluff is permitted and considered to over-ride the above rule, in which instance not being allowed to reveal our true identities is a negated point).

All of which confused rule-mongering suggests, of course, that the village supports the general consensus and lynches BioK9.
 
 
Sax
14:22 / 08.01.03
Says you who's hardly said anything all Day.

But I think that's a bit of a double bluff.

As is Lionheart's posturing.

No, I think it's gotta be... Tezcatlipoca.
 
 
Lionheart
15:11 / 08.01.03
I'm guessing/accusing Sax.
 
 
Sax
15:22 / 08.01.03
By the way, my "says you" reply was for Whiskey.

And Lionheart: After I gave you the benefit of the doubt as well. Tsk tsk.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
15:30 / 08.01.03
To recap...with 3 players left to vote, here's where we stand:

Tezcatlipoca - accused Lionheart
Jupiter Jade - accused Tezcatlipoca
grant - accused Persephone
Qalyn - accused Jupiter Jade
Persephone - accused bio k9
Paleface - accused bio k9
Whisky Priestess - accused Grant
Sax - accused Tezcatlipoca
Lionheart - accused Sax
 
 
Tezcatlipoca
15:39 / 08.01.03
What happens if multiple players have the same number of votes cast against them?
 
 
Ethan Hawke
15:44 / 08.01.03
In case of a tie, the accused players will have a chance to convince the assembled townspeople of their innocence (or the other's guilt). A new vote will be cast, with only the tied players eligibly for lynching.
 
 
bio k9
16:05 / 08.01.03
I'm gonna be late with my votes (assuming I'm alive tomorrow) because I'm on the west coast.

It just struck me that the mafia could team up to lynch an innocent victim and make their mob hit thus killing two innocent villagers in the same day. Efficient work you guys.

Three players left to vote...myself and two others...Duncan and I have had our spats and I woln't be suprised if he votes my off but the Chairman...if he votes me off...then I say the mafia is Persephone Paleface and Maominstoat.

I'm not sure Tezcatlipoca has done anything wrong but the votes are close and in the interest of self preservation...I must accuse Tezcatlipoca!

Sorry.
 
 
Persephone
16:31 / 08.01.03
Respect, bK. I cannot fault your strategy in the least.

Now I think the Mafia is bio K9, Jade, and Sax...
 
 
grant
16:44 / 08.01.03
Handy with the accusations aren't you!
 
 
Persephone
17:00 / 08.01.03
Geez grant, aren't you the slightest bit worried that you're wrong about me? You must either be a villager or a mafioso. You can't be acting on your knowledge as a seer, because then you wouldn't be accusing me.
 
 
grant
18:51 / 08.01.03
Seers/detectives don't have firm knowledge yet. One question per night. *narrows eyes* And the sun has yet to set, Missy....
 
 
Persephone
19:32 / 08.01.03
Oh shit, really? That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't they start the game getting to know about one person? Well, I suppose it doesn't matter... that just means the villagers are totally on their own the first day...

*narrows eyes right back at grant*

Y'all keep your eyes on him, if I don't make it through the night. Lookit his first post...

Sorry to vote so late... (my pudding-making activities took me to a pub where I heard ace gossip about friends)...

Lionheart. Just looks the sort.
(If you know what I mean).
 
 
Ethan Hawke
11:50 / 09.01.03
FYI - we're waiting on one more voter. However, I may use my mayoral powers and speed things along if there isn't action by say, 17:30 B-Time today.....stay tuned.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
11:52 / 09.01.03
The vote as it stands:

Tezcatlipoca - accused Lionheart
Jupiter Jade - accused Tezcatlipoca
grant - accused Persephone
Qalyn - accused Jupiter Jade
Persephone - accused bio k9
Paleface - accused bio k9
Whisky Priestess - accused Grant
Sax - accused Tezcatlipoca
Lionheart - accused Sax
bio K9- accused Tezcatlipoca
Chairman Maominstoat - accused Lionheart
Duncan Falconer - accused ?
 
 
Tezcatlipoca
12:12 / 09.01.03
Hmmm...well I find it interesting that all three mafia (as proved by Persephone) have accused me. Now since I arrived late to the game - as a result of a dropout - and taking into consideration the fact that roles were assigned early, I cannot possibly be a mafia member.
 
 
deja_vroom
12:39 / 09.01.03
I'm not Mafia. Persephone didn't "prove" anything. I picked you randomly, Tez, and only because our lovely Mayor was complaining that no one was coming forward and accusing anyone. And, of course, because I want your wife. And your puddings.
 
 
Whisky Priestess
12:39 / 09.01.03
Except that you, Tez, would have taken on the role of someone who dropped out, but signed up with all the others and would therefore have stood an equal chance of being chosen as mafia.

No, I'm afraid late arrival is no excuse - and it's to my potential disadvantage to say this, as I too am a latecomer. See my shining honesty! Now would I really point out the flaw in Tez's argument if I were Mafia myself?
 
 
Tezcatlipoca
13:00 / 09.01.03
Well, we'll see where Duncan places his vote, but the result is largely the same. If he votes for BioK9 and he dies in the revote, you've rid yourselves of a mafia member. If he votes me out - or if he votes for BioK9 and I die in the revote - it will be revealed that I am, as I've always admitted, a humble villager, which only further supports the current BioK9, Sax, Jade theory - especially as it then means the detectives can move in to investigate the trio.

Or, of course, I could be just trying to save my Sicilian skin...
 
 
Persephone
13:50 / 09.01.03
Can I have a point of clarification, Mayor Todd? Have the detectives *not* yet had a chance to ask their questions?

What happens if Duncan doesn't vote?
 
 
Ethan Hawke
13:55 / 09.01.03
Re: Detectives.

The rules in the first post of the other thread are clear regarding this.
 
 
Whisky Priestess
15:02 / 09.01.03
You know what, the sun is taking a *awful* long time to go down on this picturesque little murder village of ours. Can someone unpack Barbetime for me, as my trip down from Huggles has given me a slight case of jetlag? I thought it corresponded to UK time, i.e. GMT, but apparently not. When's night going to fall and the lynching begin already?

(not that I'm a bloodthirsty gangster, obviously; I just want to tsee the Mafiosi get theirs)
