    Day 1


    News of Imhotep's rising from the grave spread quickly and incited a mad dash to places of historic importance. With dozens of would-be treasure hunters scrambling over each other, it was inevitable that tensions would quickly reach the boiling point. The mob's brutal focus eventually settled on two unfortunate souls, WILDCAT and ZOMBIEHERO, who were then left to hang on hastily-constructed gallows.

    As the crowds began to hunker down for the night, an anguished scream cut through the air! Those brave enough to investigate discovered the isolated tent of the Medjai leader, Ardeth Bay (GIZZY) torn to pieces and quickly being scattered to the winds. Ardeth himself lay half-buried in the sand, his skin unnaturally withered and desiccated. No mortal had done this. The mob, now reminded of their true enemy, returned to their camps. No one seemed to notice, however, that the hanging corpse of WILDCAT seemed to have a few more bullet holes than it had just an hour prior.


    The Book of the Dead has been found!

    The Book of the Living has been found!

    The Key has been found!


    The deceased:
    WILDCAT- Brutal Force [/color
    ZOMBIEHERO- Brutal Force
    GIZZY-Death by death

    The following locations have collapsed:
    Shangri-La, Philae, Thebes

    The following locations can still be searched:
    Hamunaptra
    Karnak
    Shanghai
    London

    @JPants On notice with the Gods, for not producing a vote!

    Did anyone else shoot wildcat last night because they miscounted the vote and didn't realize it was a tie vote so they decided to kill wildcat?

    So, I uh, apparently did a bad job searching and got cursed.

    So, you know, that’s fun.

  • Sir FabulousSir Fabulous Malevolent Squid God Registered User regular
    Okay here's the deal. I'm not the vig. Sorry.

    I'm a Neutral. A badass Neutral with a kill.
    Some would call me... a Serial Killer!
    But most people would call me a survival neutral because my Win Con is to live to the end of the game.

    Why do I have a kill if I'm a Survival Neutral? Bullocksed if I know mates. Bullocksed if I know.

    Anyway, my plan was to shoot Wildcat last night, have my kill show up in Black and confirm to all y'all that I'm really neutral.

    Oh yeah I called that I was going to kill Wildcat in a roundabout way! Flashback!
    Here's something that might get people talking:

    Can Anyone Try to guess how much money The Mummy made?

    Wild


    Aaaaand end flashback.

    Anyway my plan is not kill anyone else for the rest of the game but just to let you kind folks duke it out until one side wins and I can got home.

    K!Thnx!Bye!

    Oh no wait one more thing.

    I'm immune to Curses so don't try anything funny, you crazy mummies!
    And it's not an item I got or like, a temporary one time thing it's just there.
    An immunity.
    So don't try to raise me from the dead cause it probably won't work I'm guessing!

    Oh yeah here's another fun fact.

    I checked with the host.
    I don't have to be the last one surviving.
    I don't have to kill and eat anyone.
    I don't count as an undead threat as per the village win con.


    So here's the deal. You, yes you, the player! You have 4 options.
    Well, really you have two options but let's assume that you, the hypothetical player can be either mafia or village.

    Option 1: You are Village and you believe our win cons are not mutually exclusive
    This one's easy. You can just treat me as confirmed non-mafia. (Remember I can't be mafia because I called a non-mafia kill).
    Essentially I'm just a free space on your mafia Bingo! Awesome!

    Option 2: You are Village and you believe our win cons are mutually exclusive
    I could be a Serial Killer after all. That's fair! But I've outed myself so as soon as you've dealt with the Mummies and the game's not over just kill me next. I'm not even trying to hide!
    If I end up killing a few dudes, I will graciously allow you to vote me out before the end of the game even! Wow! A Serial Killer this generous might as well not even be a Serial Killer!

    Option 3: You are Mafia, Grrrrrr and you believe our win cons are not mutually exclusive.

    Okay here's where things get tricky! If you leave me alone, I will leave you alone.
    If you try and blackmail me by, say, telling me to use my kill on someone or else you will kill me, I will remind you that 'I have outed myself to the village and told them to vote for me if I do much killing, so I'll lose anyway' and I'll cut my losses and take an earlier loss when I've invested less time in the game.

    If you spend a day killing me, that's one day you're not spending hunting down the village, who are actively working against you, whereas I am not. Sounds like a bad deal, dudes!

    If you kill me on the assumption that you can raise me from the dead or something then I will be forced to meta-game a bit.
    I'm priming a metaphorical dead-man's switch and saying that if I come back mafia, I will throw the game and out my mafia teammates.
    This may seem distasteful to some. It may even lose me this game.
    However, even if it loses me the game it allows me to make similar plays in the future which sounds fun.

    Essentially, there's no reason to kill me and no reason to try to use me, so leave me alone.

    Option 4: You are Mafia, Grrrrrr and you believe our win cons are mutually exclusive. Or you're another weird Neutral that needs me dead.

    I'm sort've boned then but whatever 3/4 bases covered ain't bad.

    This point still stands though: If you spend a day killing me, that's one day you're not spending hunting down the village, who are actively working against you, whereas I am not. Sounds like a bad deal, dudes!

    So maybe leave me 'til the end.

    If you're mafia and you think I'm a Village Vig trying to pull a fast one, that's also sort of fair but I will point to the fact that I'm not gonna kill no-one else so if the next narration doesn't feature a green kill or it does feature a green kill with different flavour than, uh, a gun I guess. That not me.

    In all seriousness, I think it'd be a bit rough to give the mafia two kills, one of which is semi-cloaked, while giving the village 0?

    Seems likely you'll find some items that do fun stuff like that.

    I don't have an item for the record. I searched Karrtuk or something last night and came up empty.

    It seems a bit rough to not tell the village what their primary weapon does in a tie but here we are.

    AAAnd you can search.

    So, you know, that’s fun.

    Do you want to give some more details here? I'm hearing the word Curse used improperly a lot these days.

    As an example: Cursed with immortality, control over insects, sand, etc, vague and unspecified magical powers. Not a curse.

    Sorry,sure.

    I feel ill, and if I’m not cured, it says I won’t remain among the living.

    Could mean becoming undead maybe, but could also mean I die.

    I’d like to avoid either, if possible.

    So... Gizzy getting mafia killed night one is somewhat unusual. I'd suspect Zombie Hero but he's dead also. From what I remember special gizzy is unlikely to say she is special, so who would target Gizzy when mafia?

    I don't know that there are any super-strong suspects on that thin evidence. She's usually fairly active soft-netting and may have tipped her hand somehow.

    Unfortunately Ardeth makes most sense as a guard, which is a little scary.

    I also came up empty in my search last night.

    But some of us clearly found something, since the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Living, and the Key all turned up. Perhaps not coincidentally, we no longer have access to three search locations, so maybe there is only one item per location. If that's the case, we should consider being a little less forthcoming with who searched where, since that would enable the mafia or would-be thieves to narrow down who could possibly have an item.

    Most guards would self-guard Day 1 since they don’t have a network yet.

    @Sir Fabulous since you're being so forthcoming, you don't also have vote manipulation powers too (like your vote doesn't count or something)? Unless the count was wrong last night should not have been a tie due to Sir Fab's efforts.

    Still could've been a tie depending on the as-yet undisclosed order of operations.

    Also isn't there a rule about no coded messages? Shame on you, Sir Fab.

    It is possible there was only one item in those locations. Or that there are "key" items in every/some locations, and finding those makes the location invalid.

    But "there is only one item per location" seems to be false (based on when I hacked the host notes).
