The purpose of the mutiny was because the mafia and the independent faction can't win together as is.

I think so, but that's if the odds magically give us the mutiny. It would choose three of us out of 5. 1 in ten chance of any particular team. Trust me, I'm a math person.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:13 pm**

No matter what happens, whoever is left tomorrow gets to randomly opt in to win.

Reminder: The technical realignment won't take place till after tomorrow's lynch as well.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:14 pm**

No no... you misunderstand. I meant all three of us join you and nutella on Team Mutiny, and five players win. I understand wrong?

DH, I'm not considering betraying you, I am just trying to get a comprehensive understanding.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:15 pm**

Or you could kill one of them and improve your odds of being mutinous by a significant margin.

Linki: i don't know if that would work.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:19 pm**

LC if you kill one of the civs tonight and we lynch the remaining civ tomorrow, then you, me, and Nutella will automatically be chosen for mutiny and enter the next night technically on opposite teams but once we confirm mutiny we win.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:23 pm**

Oh, the kill is already sent in.

I was considering changing it to a no-kill, if the three of us could join your team and win. Sounds like there's too much uncertainty involved, so I'll kill one S-name, and we will lynch the other S-name tomorrow.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:24 pm**

Different mutiny teams, LC.

And yeah, DH is correct. The kill and lynch can just decide arbitrarily who wins.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:24 pm**

Welp. GG. I tried.

This is so silly.

I'd be fine with ending the game unless there are unknown factors in play.

I want to see how this mutiny thing plays out

What a cool and good plan. I am like a mafia python, coiled up and waiting for my moment to strike and then I wrap my prey up and jab 'em with my poison teeth.

If I get this win, I won't need to.

It was actually a combination of a true misunderstanding of the game, and an accidental "obvious Civ slip" over on HCRealms that I did in my last game there. My first post in that game made it (embarrassingly) obvious that I had a Civ role PM and also didn't know if it was Civ or bad.

DAY 6

210. INT. STAIRWAY - APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

Ben slowly climbs the stairs. His shoes squashing the carpet make mall crushing sounds as he climbs higher into the building.

He arrives at the Seventh Floor and stops. A high-pitched whine can be heard faintly. It gets louder as Ben crosses to Dorothy's apartment door. He gets his key out and inserts it. Turns it. With a loud click the door swings open and the high whine becomes piercing. He sees something and jumps back.

211. INT. DOROTHY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

It is Detective Gordon, the Yellow Man, standing in the center of the room.

CLOSER ON DETECTIVE GORDON

Something is wrong with him. He is bleeding from the head. He stands almost motionless, in shock.

Ben peers into the room again. He enters carefully and lets the door close behind him. He very cautiously moves forward into the room. Slowly, he moves closer to a hideous sight. Standing in the middle of Dorothy's apartment is T.R. Gordon, the Yellow Man. He is in an extreme state of shock. He is bleeding badly from a huge wound at the top left of his head. His eyes focused on something only his twisted inner mind see. The T.V. is crushed in but it is turned on and it is the television that produces the high electrical whine. Ben moves forward again and kicks the television cord out of the wall. The high whine stops instantly. Silence except for the Yellow Man's labored breathing.

Suddenly there is a loud "radio voice" coming from the Yellow Man's police radio which is turned "on" in his jacket pocket. Ben's heart leaps and just as suddenly the Yellow Man throws his arms out wildly knocking a floor lamp to the ground and crushing out its light. He falls to the floor with a heavy thud. The radio talks again.

RADIO VOICE #1
Get back and stay down.

RADIO VOICE #2
It's apartment eight.

Music. LOVE LETTERS STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART. begins to play. Ben watches the Yellow Man and listens to the radio.

RADIO VOICE #2
(continuing)
I'm sending Jack and Pete to the roof.

RADIO VOICE #1
Hey.

Sounds of shots.

RADIO VOICE #1
(continuing)
He's shooting from the second window.

RADIO VOICE #3
Stay in place.

RADIO VOICE #2
Jack, get up there quick. Can you return fire?

RADIO VOICE #3
I think he's alone, but return fire to second window only.

Many shots.

212. EXT. FRONT STREET - NIGHT

The real scene is before us. Police cars line the street along with a huge fire truck and several ambulances. Special police marksmen are crouched behind cars and behind a stone wall opposite Frank's building. Screams are heard from within and police radios blare. Shots are being fired into a black window. Once in a while a shot is returned. Two policeman are dead and one is being loaded onto an ambulance.

POLICEMAN #1
He hasn't fired a shot for six minutes. Maybe we got him. Get on the radio. Get Detective Williams, ask him if we can rush the son of a bitch.

A policeman runs off. more shots are fired into the building but none are returned. The policeman comes running back.

POLICEMAN #2
It's in the works already. We're in there. They're goin' down the back stairs now. It won't be long, and they'll have us rush 'em from here. One whistle and we go.

Suddenly there is a long barrage of gunfire into Frank's apartment. Then a loud whistle.

POLICEMAN #1
That's it. Let's go.

Police race across the street to Frank's building.

213. INT. FRANK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Police kick the door in and rush into the apartment. It's empty except fora large dog which has been shot. The dog growls and cowers back in a corner. Every now and then it limps on bloody legs back and forth.

Sloonei has been killed. He was Detective Gordon, a vanilla civilian.

It is now Day 6. You have 24 hours to vote in the poll.

The whole situation is very exciting. I don't think that should be downplayed simply because the last little part is planned and executed with no surprises.

I'm not mad at you. Hell, you used all of the rules of the game to craft this situation. I'm more annoyed with myself for not realizing this could be a possibility and preemptively safeguarding against it. But hey, the game's the game, and you figured out a way to outsmart it. At the end of the day, (pun unintended) I gotta respect that.

I just couldn't risk a nutella lynch or an LC lynch that ended the game, or an LC lynch that gave us the kill but only a 50% chance to win, or a civ lynch that left the door open for a Nutella NK

(If you can't tell, I mapped out like, as many of the end game scenarios as I could and basically pulled this mutiny play out of my ass at 2am in the morning. PMed Nutella and was like, "Hey so this looks like the best chance we have of winning.)

I think the game would have been v. different had that first mutiny popped, or had I not accepted recruitment to the indies.

If Speedchuck had accepted the first mutiny, and not revealed how mutinies work, then things would have turned out in a much crazier way.

The variable that I didn't consider was one where a person was selected to mutiny, but wasn't able to do so due to inactivity. They then had no incentive to keep the mechanics quiet. Speedchuck expounded, and here we are.

THE END

220. INT. BEN'S APARTMENT - MORNING

Dorothy sits next to her husband Don, a formerly attractive, sickly thin, and emaciated man missing an ear. He drifts in and out of consciousness.

The couple is being held at gunpoint by the two woman from before, one very young, and the other heavyset.

Nobody says a word, and the silence is disquieting.

Sudden footsteps can be heard outside. The young woman turns and aims her gun at the doorway.

BEN (O.S.)
It's me.

The young woman relaxes, walking to the door and unlocking it, letting Ben inside. He's visibly energized, and begins pacing the room.

BEN
(to himself)
I can't believe it. I honestly can't believe it.

He begins chuckling to himself.

BEN
Frank killed a cop. Stored him in the lady's apartment. I'm guessing he was the one investigating him, and by connection, us. Meanwhile, that anonymous informant who was so very helpful and specific in regards to the location and nature of Frank's headquarters lead to a shootout. All of Frank's men are either dead, in prison, or about to be one of the two.

Ben saunters over to Dorothy and Don.

BEN
I'm honestly just surprised that this all happened so smoothly. I mean, there were those teenagers. Not sure what happened there. They came because Frank liked to terrorize. He liked to rape, and to kill. All very noisy, attention-drawing acts. And you two are maybe his noisiest.

DOROTHY
(connecting-the-dots)
Frank's dead, and his men are dead too, yes? So...why are you keeping us prisoner? You all didn't do anything to us, we have nothing on you, nothing to tell to the police even if we wanted to. All the people who wanted us dead...are dead.

BEN
That's the very question I was pondering myself. If...we let you go, all's well that ends well, you go your way, I go mine?

DOROTHY
You go your way, we go ours.

BEN
It was said in the olden days, that new kings always began their reign with a singular act of kindness. I believe Frank's car is still in the driveway. Darling, do you still have the keys?

The heavyset woman nods, digs around in her pockets, and throws the keys into Ben's hands. He then throws them to Dorothy.

Dorothy takes them, and helps the barely conscious Don stand up.

DOROTHY
Come on, Don. Thank you. Thank you very much.

BEN
You're very, very welcome. Au revior.

Dorothy and Don exit.

EXT. FRANK'S CAR - MORNING

Dorothy's behind the wheel. Don's propped up in the passenger seat. It's a bright sunny morning, and things look particularly picturesque.

DOROTHY
Don...Don...can you hear me?

DON
Dorothy. Is that you?

DOROTHY
Yes, Don. We're safe now. We can go anywhere, do anything. Where do you want to go?

DON
Anywhere but here.

SPLAT.

The car rocks with impact, then proceeds down the road.

DON
What was that?

DOROTHY
Dammit, I hit something.

Dorothy stops the car, and looks out the window.

DOROTHY
A dog. I hit a little dog. I think it's dead.

DON
So? All this death, and you're worried about a dog?

DOROTHY
Sorry. You're right, that's me being silly. Let's go.

Dorothy rolls up her window. The car speeds off into the distance.

The camera lingers on the road, moving up and up until it reaches the dog corpse.

It was killed upon impact, seemingly painless. Yet, there's still visible pain in the eyes, which is where the camera zooms, until the retina fills the screen and becomes a world of its own.

Speedchuck has been killed. He was Sparky the Dog, a vanilla civilian.

The game is now over. Long Con, Nutella, and DharmaHelper are the winners.

Thank you for playing.
