    Well yes, two of the three non-mafia kill must hit mafia

    I'm not sure how I feel about potential village victory being contingent on the serial killer. :(

    38thDoe, at least i have a vote in for the day. :P

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    I'll throw in my vote for 38thdoe in case something comes up again tomorrow.

    Okay, with how quickly this bandwagon has hit majority when the mafia is ~40% of the playerbase feels a little too obvious for me. I don't like this at all.

    Well the five active people have spoken so I guess I cooked, unless I revealed as corwin.

    I am uneasy at the slavish following of the wagon that I started.

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    I'm a little uneasy as well, but at this point the mafia may just be following along on one of their own members. It would be pretty easy to switch to another person at vote close and finish us off. The village is pretty much screwed at this point.

    I almost wish this is what happened. Then if the vigs were watching they could get the two mafia kills we needed. I think Zandy is getting inactivused anyway so it might not even matter!

    Day 5 – The Death of Corwin

    Corwin sat in the study. He considered the place on the wall where he had killed his brother what seemed like an eternity ago. So many had died since then. His brothers had fallen one by one until only Corwin remained. So now he sat on the throne. It was a bit of a hollow victory though. He wished that his brothers could be here, so that he could rule over them. That was what he really wanted. That was what they had all really wanted. It wasn't about holding the throne, it was about finally being the first among the children of Oberon. It was all so meaningless to rule the court when it didn't contain those who were as gods. Of course it was only natural that he would rule over the nobles of Amber, they could not really walk among the shadows, they didn't have the blood necessary to take to the Pattern. All in all it was thoroughly unsatisfying. There was a knocking at the door.
    “Go away.” Corwin shouted from across the room. He waited, there was no more knocking.
    Corwin poured himself a glass of wine. Then there was more knocking at the door. Corwin went to the door and threw it open, fully prepared to give the unfortunate person on the other side a tongue lashing that would not soon be forgotten. There was no one there. When Corwin turned around, there was a man sitting behind the desk with his boots up. He was lanky and thin. His hair was vibrant, like fire. His features were sharp, and his eyes were mecurial.
    “Brand. No one had seen you in ages. We thought you were dead.” Corwin said as he stepped closer to the desk.
    “Dead? Me? No, far from it. In fact, rarely have I ever felt more alive.”
    “You need to be careful Brand, there's something happening that you might -” Corwin was cut off when Brand pulled a small crossbow from under the desk and fired a bolt directly into his chest.
    “No brother, you are the one that needs to be careful.” Corwin staggered a few steps, and slumped against the wall. Brand walked over to him, but made certain to stay out of arm's reach. Corwin might be injured, but he certainly wasn't dead. Corwin lunged at Brand as he came close, but Brand danced back and Corwin fell forward. “You see, I'm very aware of what is happening here. The Pattern is flawed. That flaw is perpetuated throughout the universe. When the Pattern was first written, it was not made to redefine all of reality, but merely to cleave off a part of it. You see, the Courts of Chaos are still able to exert control and power. But I know how to solve the problem. I'm going to rewrite the Pattern. Fiona and Bleys thought I was mad, but they just were unwilling to see the truth. The universe needs a fresh start, and I'm the one to give it to them. Naturally, there will be some birthing pangs. But then again, isn't there an expression for this? Something about breaking eggs. I'm going to fix it all, I'm going to make it all better.”
    Corwin lay on his back, his life bleeding out. “You're insane.”
    Brand frowned. “You know, I never really liked any of you. Some of you were competition, but for the most part, you are all a bunch of simpletons. Can you imagine what it's like to have to live up to the example of someone who's intellect is only a fraction of yours? Well, you never really will.”

    38th Doe – Lord Pantala – Publically Executed
    Zandracon – Lady Ia – Duel with Corwin
    Vagrant_Winds – Corwin of Amber – Killed by a Brother

    Interesting.

    Very Interesting.

  • ExtermatottExtermatott Registered User
    So it seems that we have 5 people left, of which most likely 2 are mafia, and then 1 serial killer.

    I'm thinking that The Anonymous is the serial killer, or at least not village, as he has been sheeping all game, and he would have been bringing his own ideas to the table if he was village, which he hasn't been.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    We should have 6 left and that is a very interesting vote.

    Here is where anon firmly put grundl in the lead and he was the second person on 38th's wagon.

    In fact, that's an amazingly bad vote. You're voting for who you think is the SK? You realize that if you do that then the SK's kill doesn't go off, the mafia's does and then the village loses, right Extermatott?

  • ExtermatottExtermatott Registered User
    So why are you voting for me? If you think my vote for The Anonymous is bad, then suggest a better alternative. I do agree that we should be going after the mafia as our #1 priority, but my case against The Anonymous still stands. Just please don't give the mafia a wagon to jump on just because you don't agree with me.

    Just so you know, the two things that you pointed out about The Anonymous's voting patterns are very classic serial killer behavior, as the SK doesn't care who is voted out, as long as it is not him, the fact he voted out two mafia (like almost everyone else) proves nothing against him being a serial killer.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    I don't care if he's the serial killer though, not today. We vote the SK out while there are mafia left, we lose

    So I was totally gonna explain why that Extermatott dude is suspicious and stuff, but then I read his posts and saw that he'd done that for me. 8-)

    So it seems half the village wont vote, and will just let the mafia take me down.

    ETA until mafia shenanigans: eight minutes.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Yeah this is bad. 1 vote lead with 2 mafia left?

    Hey guys guess what, I was mafia, and I got killed by two votes for the most stupid reason, for trying to get rid of a threat to the village.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Ah yes the "helpful mafia" a rare breed

  • ExtermatottExtermatott Registered User
    Never again.

  • ExtermatottExtermatott Registered User
    Does this put me up as one of the most unbloucky mafia?

    I have been mafia 3 times in a row so far.

    1) Name given away by traitor teammate.

    2) Randomly sniped day 1.

    3) Killed for trying to help his enemies.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Maybe, but that was a staggeringly bad vote with reasoning to match. The numbers don't lie, 2 mafia, 3 village, 1 SK -> 2 mafia, 2 village is a losing deal for the village every time. If you had voted for someone else, or didn't use the "I think he's the SK" reasoning, it might have worked

  • RingoRingo Registered User regular
    ooooOOOOOOOOOooooooo

    You were also Mafia in Sun City!

    OOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOO

    True, but putting reasoning as to who I think SK is, is hardly a reason to get voted out.

    Day 5 – Down to the Wire

    Brand peeked out from behind the tall column. He was getting tired of sneaking around. Who had he left to hide from? He saw the door across the hall. He watched the tall Lord Roderick walk down the hall and enter the door. Brand spoke a few words and the spell took shape around him. The world warped and changed and he was standing in the bedroom of Lord Roderick's apartment. He opened the door of the bedroom and saw that Roderick was relaxing in his chair. Brand crept up behind him and buried the thing stiletto that he carried on him in Roderick's neck. It was then that the door opened and another man entered. He was dressed all in black, with a dark blade held in his hand.
    Brand chuckled. “You're a bit too late.”
    “You? You are the one who let us in.”
    “Oh? I had hoped that that I would stumble across one of you before I tore down reality. I don't suppose that you care.”
    The man in black frowned. “You know what the deal was. You would achieve position in the Courts for returning the universe to its original state.”
    Brand smiled. “I've reconsidered. You see, the Courts themselves don't even need to exist. I have found a way to change everything. I would suggest that you join me, but I doubt that you would be inclined to see things my way.”
    “What you speak is blasph-”
    “I thought not.” And with that Brand disappeared.


    Deaths
    Extermatott - Lord Volker - Publically Executed
    mEEksa - Lord Roderick - Assassinated and Killed by Brand
    Lockejaw - Lord Gregor - Assassinated

    I'm going to end the day when all the votes have been cast. Because it's over one way or another today. It'll be an interesting 3 votes.

    SeGaTai is the only mafia left

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Guess again-though Phyphor is most assuredly the SK, which is why he has been the only one on top of posting and leading the vote so that both the mafia and village gets picked off equally up until the end.

    also apologies for not voting yesterday-was hoping it was closing an hour later
