SALE!
Casimer Jech, celebrated dealer in oddities and antiquities, is pleased to announce that on this Tuesday, March the 17th, his Curio Shop located on 22nd Street is having its first - and last! - ever sale. Ancient relics from the Far East! Rare and valuable treasures of every shape and size!
One day only! Supplies limited!

Please select which item you would like to buy. Only the first person to vote for each item will receive it.

How Items Work

Some items can be used to confer benefits, some cannot. Some items will be consumed when used, some will not. Most items can be stolen. When someone is lynched, all of the items they possess go to the people who voted for them, in order. So the first vote gets the first item, etc. When someone is NKed, whoever performed the kill gets the item. Items may not be voluntarily traded between players.

Day 0 will last 48 hours or until everyone checks in or until I get tired of waiting. One of those three.

FYI: Votes are not changeable this game.

You may now post.

Posting because Llama said I could.

I voted for the elephant charm.

I chose the Ivory Arrow because it sounds cool.

Hooray for a new game! Feels like I haven't played in years. I voted for the key, because a key has to unlock something and that something might be cool or exciting.

I voted Green Jade hand because jade green is my favourite shade of my favourite colour.

@bullz - as soon as I read the list more fully, I actually wished I had taken the key. If I hadn't just thought 'first in first served' and had taken a little bit more time to think, that's what I would have taken for sure.

I went with Silver Buddha. I always wished I had the discipline to be a Buddhist.

I hesitated for a bit before I chose it actually, partly because I thought someone would swoop in and take it before I could. I'm now just hoping it unlocks something and that the something it unlocks is useful in some way!

I'm gonna play it safe.

I was afraid to take the Silver Buddha (my first choice originally), the Green Jade Hand, OR the Two-Headed Elephant Charm, because I thought they all sounded like they were ripe for being Curse items.

Thanks LC now I feel great about my choice...

It didn't even occur to me to think that some of them could be curse items. I just assumed when llama said 'some can confer benefits, some cannot' - that some were good, and others are just there.

Llama - are you able to indicate which roles are male or female?

Also - I feel sorry for the poor sod who gets left with the handkerchief. Who knows if its even clean?

Yes, I'll add a key to the roles page.

I voted for the coin. Never know when a little money will come in handy.

I like Buddha, and I just thought it sounded cool, and first one in gets it. I did not even look past the Buddha tbh.

Are we to infer the items from the picture or is there a list I'm missing?

Oh, and happy gaming all!

Hi everyone! I chose the will. It sounds like it might be helpful after I die.

Oh duh, I just looked at the poll. I'll take the ear tubes in the hopes of hearing something interesting.

Yay game! I'm gonna vote for the key, because it could be the key to everything.

Didn't read the rules!

suckers

Yay, a new game! I chose Amber Necklace. So pretty!

I see the last to check in will get nothing.

Oh wait...maybe not since TH didn't read the rules. I guess he will get nothing.

Elohcin wrote:Oh wait...maybe not since TH didn't read the rules. I guess he will get nothing.

Maybe Boomslang will want to trade his key for my nothing?

Or maybe Bullzeye will just laugh at you for not reading the rules. Then laugh at you again for not even reading who beat you to it properly. In conclusion:

Hello everyone - I chose the rare book because I like old books. And rare - maybe it will be worth something.

I actually have a rare book. A first edition of Dune. I keep it in a glass case, in my Dads office safe, becasue I am afraid to touch it lol.

Thats really cool SVS! I wish i had a first edition of something. Well, maybe now I do!

I voted.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone spilled water all over it?

That's why it is in a glass box miles away from me lol.

I may do a Dune Mafia one of these days.

Bags being the sandworm! Hang on a minute, did the Sandworm eat people? Or did it really just end up being ridden by Paul a lot. I need to think this through.

Hi everyone! I'm not familiar with Harry Stephen Keeler but I like playing mafia so here I am.

I picked the stock certificate because maybe it's worth money and will go up in value.

I'm not familiar with Harry Stephen Keeler either so I'm hoping that won't matter.

Hey folks! Just popping in, haven't read anything yet, and very likely won't have the chance until tomorrow evening after my microeconomic theory seminar midterm, between studying for that and dealing with Death Note.

Yay game! See you soon!

Good luck on your test MP!

Thanks, you too, Zomba!

Guess I better pick an item while I'm here. I would have picked the stock certificate, but it seems my fellow accountant beat me to that option. I'll go with the clock.

Now will be back tomorrow to read posts and such!

No one is familiar with Harry Stephen Keeler. He's the most obscure guy ever. But if you are smart, you will seek out and read his books because they are worth it.

#ivoryball! Balls are awesome.

Welcome shep!

I'd rather have that Iron Buddha nawm sayin

So, I already have a suspicion but I am keeping to myself until day 1 to see how everything plays out.

Golden, do you see what I see?

Hi everyone! I am currently on vacation in Las Vegas (like the degenerate member of the Animal Sanctuary Squad that I am. I will not be playing until I return home on Thursday night. Otherwise, this is all you will hear from me until then. I'd ask for luck but I've already done fairly well in poker and blackjack. But I'll still take any good vibes. Happy mafia-ing!
