MAFIA GAME IX: LOST

RULES AND REGULATIONS

1. No Role Revealing ? If you don?t know what this means by now, you better ask now so I can clarify.
2. No Screencaps ? Real or Fabricated
3. No Private Discussion ? No outside discussion is allowed during any phase unless your role grants you that ability. This includes IRC, where no Mafia discussion should take place.
4. No Unrelated Discussion ? All conversation in the Mafia topic needs to be related to the game. No outside topics, no small talk, no spam.


GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Red-zoning has been abolished this game. I will set time limits on each phase, or end phases early depending on the flow of the game.
2. I will try to set time limits on the Night Phases. If you don?t have your Night ability PM?ed to me by the end of that time, you lose the option to use it that Night Phase. I want to keep this game going as smoothly as possible, and any holdups will only slow the pace. Slow-paced Mafia games suck.
3. Extremely inactive players will be dealt with harshly. If you aren?t participating in the game, I reserve the right to kill you randomly, even if the mob decides to keep you around.
4. If you absolutely have to be inactive for a time, let me know, and I?ll make an exception for you.
5. The innocents in this game will be known as Survivors, while Mafia members will be known as The Others. Please use these specific terms in place of the more general terms. Such as, Xylus is an Other.
6. Please, please listen to the music, because it enhances the story. And read the narratives. I might drop hints in the story that might help both sides.
7. If you have any questions, please PM me so I can clarify. I don?t want anyone to be confused.
8. You are allowed one goodbye post after your death. If you talk excessively after your death, I will be forced to kill one of your teammates.

October 12, 2004

Hurley lay on his makeshift bed next to the fire, looking up at the flawless night sky through tired eyes. The events of recent days past flashed through his mind as he slowly began to doze off.

The comforting sounds of the beach were shattered by an ear-splitting scream, clearly female. Hurley jumped to his feet as fast as a man of his weight could, scrambling to find the location of the scream.

Another terrified yell, this one different than the last. Hurley looked toward the edge of the jungle and saw a child being dragged into the bushes by a shadowy figure. Unable to run very fast, Hurley yelled to his companions.

?Guys, I saw them, they?re over there!?

Jack, Sawyer, and a few others leapt into the bushes, running full speed into the jungle. But they saw nothing. No shadowy figure, no child being dragged, no screams, no sign of any intrusion. They ran awhile longer but found no trace that someone had even been kidnapped.

This event had the beachside camp talking for days. There wasn?t a soul that wasn?t greatly disturbed by the kidnapping, by the prospect that perhaps?perhaps there were others on this Island who meant to harm them.

Similar events continued to take place. One man and one woman, two completely unrelated people, were kidnapped simultaneously. When the camp gave chase again, they found no sign of the woman, and the man was found at the base of a tree with his neck snapped. He was dead. Immediately, they counted those who remained at the camp to figure out if it was one of their own, but everyone was accounted for. Clearly, an outside force was assaulting them at night.

That same night, a list was found with the names of all of the remaining Survivors, with checkmarks next to those who had been kidnapped.

Everyone became suspicious of everyone else. Accusations were thrown like knives. ?The Others,? as one Survivor termed them, had infiltrated the group, disguising themselves as people who had been on the plane. And they threatened to cut the thin fabric of life the Survivors had managed to string together.

The witch hunt had begun.

Kid Romeo is innocent, I swear! You have to believe me!

edit: Not First!

Krystal is an Other because she's the reason I almost got voted off last game.

Kenju is an Other

Azreal is an Other because he's just going to end up sacrificing himself anyway

*rolls a 15* Gobeta is an Other :-\ not much to say, its too early for anything except randomness

And this is how you treat your old man.

SHAME!

I am changing to Ghostfire is an Other. If he acts as crazy as last game, might as well protect ourselves now.

I've acted crazy in some way in every game.

Strife is an Other

Odds are low, but best get these newbies out and talking now.

Couple more things:

No looking at the Online List. I don't think it'll help you all that much to look at it, but if I see you hanging all over the Online List, I might have to do something about it.

You know,

Jambi is an Other

*nods*

Perhaps make it mandatory for all mafia players to login in as anonymous during a mafia game? That eliminates the problem right there.

I'm going to go with Ghostfire is an Other.

He's due. I looked at the stats and he hasn't been Mafia (except the messed up game), so he's way overdue.

That's a good idea that Webhead might want to make a rule for the next game. I would definitely suggest that all of you log in as invisible, so no one suspects you of anything.

I make a point to do such every game no matter what alignment.

Unfortunately I can still see you guys when you're anonymous. I don't look at that except when I see you reading the topic for 20 minutes and not replying...even then I don't think you're Mafia...I just curse you for not posting. So just know I can see your name at the bottom of the topic but that's all I'll ever see. I can't very well help that.

Stats don't mean squat. A quarterback can have over a 100 rating based off 3 throws, that doesn't make him a great quarterback, despite the stats.

I think that's an incredibly lousy "random" vote, but so be it I guess...

Better reasoning than nothing at all. Plus, Peeve is right, we could do without the antics anyway.

Why the fuck did I bother re-signing up if you're just going to vote me off in the first round anyway?

I didn't see you bashing my shit last game when it was helping you, hypocrite.

You talking to web or me?


*and points to my second post in the topic for my reasoning*

I was with the Mafia last game. You're getting awfully mad for 2 votes. Interesting.

Talking to webhead. Your vote seems just honest, as you really just don't want me playing, whether I am innocent or guilty.

Webhead, he just seems to be trying to force an issue in the first round when there isn't one with his "logic" and "stats". It's the first round, for fucking hell. I don't mind a vote, but two can get you a voted off in the first round if the rest are scattered. :/

It is not that I don't want you playing, it is that I think you are too unstable to the side of Survivors.



As you are showing.

Well, honestly I was thinking about those stats as I was updating them on the main site. Plus you're getting awfully angry over something so small. We'll see. It was just a "wait and see" vote but your reaction makes me wonder.

Webhead is an other because he voted for ghostfire who voted for me. and i felt bad voting for ghostfire sence has has votes already

OMG! Suspicious!

Jambi 1
Azreal 1
Krystal Epyon 1
Gobeta 1

8 Votes casted 11 more needed

EDIT: Woops. Thanks Peevo.

Jay, there is no vote finalization in this game.



Strife, your logic is very suspicious for this early in the game. It could be because you are new. Or there could be another reason.

Or i might really feel bad voting for ghostfire just because he voted for me when he already has 2 votes on him

Why would you feel bad at this point? There's no point feeling bad in the first round. A pointless sentiment at this point.

Sorry Webhead. Rolled an 18-sided dice online and subtracted me from the list. Got 6.

Webhead is an other. I'm not unwilling to change obviously since it's a freakin' dice roll, but I don't see anything worth changing for yet.

A dice roll indeed. Just happened to come up right after someone else voted for me too, huh?

O.o I'm the reason you DIDN'T get voted off in the last game!

Ungrateful wretch. >.<

I'm serious.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/layney19/diceroll.jpg

I know it could be doctored, but it's a dice roll man. Whatev. Believe it or not, I don't really care at this point.

LOL THAT 6 IS BOLDED WTF??

Peeve is an Other

It's interesting that he changed to Ghostfire within a couple of posts for such a weak reason. Trying to vote for Kenju to create some distance and then switch to an innocent, perhaps?

[I have to go to the theatre in about 10 minutes and I'll be gone until say, 1am. If I'm alive enough, I'll check back then, if not, then it'll be tomorrow morning. So don't go accusing me of inactivity just yet... *glares at Kid Romero*]

Don't take me as aligned with him, but I can understand why Matt would get upset over two votes almost immediately. I've found out in the last two games (in regards to other people, mind you) that two votes quickly multiplies, especially in the first round when people are likely to go for bandwagon so no alignment shows through.

This is a tough one to vote in - if you take away all the new players (not that I think none of them are mafia, necessarily, but it's probably less likely and I feel like I should give them a chance) and the players who have been mafia a lot recently, there really aren't that many players left.

I'm going to say Krystal Epyon is an Other. No huge reason, just that it's her third game and I think the accusation she made against Peeve seems a little odd - he isn't the kind of player who would be that obvious based on the last game.

'Course, that vote is subject to change.

Azreal Darkskies is a n Other

Thats for fucking my shit up last game!@

You might as well vote me for fucking your mom up last night, too.

[/yourmomjoke]

My mom's dead.

Garlic is an Other

Krystal Epyon is an Other... it's a gut feeling, but we don't really have much to go off at the moment

webhead is an Other because so far he's trying to point a finger at ghost fire being an Other. Meh, that's really all I've got.

Jambi is an Other

Mialee's nodding seemed pretty convincing >_>


(Edit - Removed the bold to make tallying easier)

Well it shouldn't matter as much since Quiksilver and Prawn aren't here, so no one really should be asking where we are every 5 minutes, but I'm going to throw out that I am working from 11:30 - 5 EST today.


And I bolded it so you all won't overlook it.

And you even made your text green to make it stand out

I wish I was! I was so hoping to be after my monumental fuck up last game. Woulda been nice for a change, but I'm afraid that's a dead end right there, Woofie.

As for Peeve, I don't think that's out of the question at all. He was innocent last game, there's no reason he wouldn't play differently as mafia. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you were his mafia buddy, except that that creates three associations in the first round and that's a little too much to hope for... Then again, we've been down the 'it's too obvious' road with Kyuubi and got burned like little bitches.



-.- Do you even realize that your 'gut feeling' could lead to the death of an innocent with a handy little third vote on me there? Seriously. As a noob, this is NOT a mistake you want to make.

Daylight is an other

I like to aggravate her..and my only day that I can provoke her without a reason.

Well ultimately i have no basis to vote for you, but equally none not to, besides which, by your voting method used to accuse Peeve, by changing their vote the person instantly becomes Mafia, so why would I change now?
I'm not gonna apologise because there's always going to be a 50% chance in the first round of voting off an innocent because we don't have anything to use as evidence. My vote quite easily could have gone to anyone, but there it is.
*shrug*

Fair enough, but I do suggest you change your vote since I know I'm not mafia and thus I'm not going accuse you of protecting your buddy. Besides, Peeve's vote bugged me on a deeper level. The circumstances seem a little odd. Just a couple of posts, no defense from Kenju, and suddenly he changes his vote to Ghostfire? It makes no sense. If there's ANYTHING to go on in the first round, I'd call that something, and it's far more than anyone's suggested against me.

Edit: Anyway, to sleep with me before my face falls on the keyboard and I get incriminated for the deep, subtle signs in the random pattern my cheek types out and miraculously sends.
