NIGHT OF THE MISSING PRIVATE MESSAGES

Marmot was minding his own business. He had a nice hole to dwell in and came out when he needed food. He heard a commotion outside and was curious.

As he poked his head out, he heard a wooshing sound and then a sudden sharp pain at the back of his head. He had never heard of a machete golf club before but he was well acquainted with it now. Well, his decapitated head was. Marmot never knew what hit him. His assailant drove Marmot's head further across town with a second whack because it only seemed right.

--------------------------------------

Long Con was surprised to hear someone shout 'fore' from across town. He was more surprised when Marmot's head landed in his lap. He was further surprised still when a crazy man jumped out of the bushes next to him and emptied a revolver into his chest.

--------------------------------------

Throughout town, very little else of interest happened because the participants were becoming increasingly abysmal at sending in their private messages, leading THE GAME to wonder why he doesn't just implode this wretched planet already. But, Regulus, so...

--------------------------------------

MARMOT WAS KILLED BY THE EVIL EVENS.
LONG CON WAS KILLED BY THE SINISTER 6'S.

IT IS NOW DAY 7.
YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO LYNCH SOMEONE.

INSERTNAMEHERE, MARMOT, AND LONG CON ARE NOT LYNCHABLE* TODAY BECAUSE THEY JUST REANIMATED.

*TA DA!

More people having more vote weight can cause less ability to sort out who might be what number, if that makes any sense. I'll leave my vote where it is. Thanks for the clarification our dearly psychotic torturer.
The poll "winners" get two penalty votes, not extra vote power. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

DESPITE ALL THE GENETIC DEFICIENCIES AND COGNITIVE LIMITATIONS PLAGUING YOUR SPECIES, YOU ARE, IN FACT, READING IT CORRECTLY. TRY TO CONTAIN YOUR EXCITEMENT.

Epi, why do you want to lynch Elo next?

ALLOW ME TO ENLIGHTEN YOU THEN.

In mathematics, the cake number, denoted by Cn, is the maximum number of regions into which a 3-dimensional cube can be partitioned by exactly n planes. The cake number is so-called because one may imagine each partition of the cube by a plane as a slice made by a knife through a cube-shaped cake.

RELEVANT CAKE NUMBERS TO THIS SIMULATION INCLUDE 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 26, 42, 64, AND 93.

Pancake sorting is the colloquial term for the mathematical problem of sorting a disordered stack of pancakes in order of size when a spatula can be inserted at any point in the stack and used to flip all pancakes above it. A pancake number is the minimum number of flips required for a given number of pancakes.

RELEVANT PANCAKE NUMBERS TO THIS SIMULATION INCLUDE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 30, 35, 42, 48, 56, 72, 79, AND 90

DOES THAT CHANGE YOUR ORDER FROM TONIGHT'S MENU?

THE SIXTH LYNCH

INSERTNAMEHERE HAS BEEN LYNCHED. HE WAS #9:

# 9
Alias: No. 9
Source: The Beatles song “Revolution 9”
Member Of: Nasty 9's
Power Type: Nightly
Role Description: On your second day in the game, you will become insanified but you get to pick another player to be insanified with you. Each successive night you will be able to insanify more players (on your second night you can insanify two more players, one your third night you can insanify three players). Your goal is to insanify every player in the game, sending the game into utter chaos. If you can insanify every player, the curse will break the next night and you will receive special recognition at the end of the game, whether you are on the winning side or not. Only your death will cancel the mass insanification. Once insanified, players will remain insanified until everyone is insane or you die. Reanimation to a new role will not restore sanity to their speech.

THE INSANITY CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN. YOU MAY ALL POST NORMALLY.*

IT IS NOW NIGHT 6. IF YOUR TEAM IS ELIGIBLE FOR A KILL TONIGHT, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED SHORTLY IN YOUR TEAM CHAT.

ALL NIGHT ROLE POWER REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ME. TEAM KILL REQUESTS MUST COME VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE FROM A DESIGNATED MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM. TEAMS MAY ASSIGN SPECIFIC PLAYERS TO CARRY OUT THE KILL OR THEY MAY LET ONE BE CHOSEN AT RANDOM.

NIGHT 6 WILL END AROUND 9:30 PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME TOMORROW. ROLE PM'S AND TEAM KILL REQUESTS ARE DUE TO ME BY 8:30 PM TOMORROW.

*BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

THE POLLS SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED. FORGIVE THE DELAY OR I WILL MAKE YOU DIE A HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATH.

MAN MAKES PLANS AND THE GAME LAUGHS

Made stepped out of The Dancing Piano. Plenty of good drinks left to be had but a guy has to sleep now and then, right? As he left, he was approached by an eager looking fellow.

"I'm forming a new community. It's pure and righteous. Would you like to join us? Here's some literature." The man thrust a pamphlet in Made's hand.

"No thanks," Made said and tossed it aside.

The eager fellow fumed. He picked up the pamphlet, rolled it up tight and charged Made from behind. Before he knew what was going on, Made found himself on his back, looking up at the same man who just seconds ago seemed a little too friendly. Now he was anything but. The man stuck the rolled-up pamphlet up Made's nose, picked up a cobblestone out of the street, and struck hard at the end of the paper.

The paper did not give but Made's nasal passage did. So did his brain.

--------------------------------------

The Nasty 9 crept up on his victim. This was going to be fun, he thought. In a flash, he jumped out at thrust a dagger into his target's chest. Except, it was a glancing blow. His victim stared at him, stunned.

Filled with shame, the Nasty 9 fled the scene. Perhaps next time things would go according to plan.

--------------------------------------

Jackofhearts2005 was minding his own business, getting caught up on what he missed while traveling through time, when a cobblestone crashed at his feet. He looked up and saw a shadowy figure by a lamppost across the street.

The figure reached down and removed two more cobblestones. Jack watched as his assailant made a terrible throw, sailing the cobblestone well over his head. Jack turned and watched it crash down the alley behind him.

"Haha you idiot!" Jack shouted. "You totally miss-"

Then the second cobblestone hit him square in the face, just as the Fatal 5 intended.

--------------------------------------

"Call it," said the creepy man.

"Heads!" replied his would-be victim.

The coin was flipped. The man snatched it out of the air and checked the result.

Spoiler: show

--------------------------------------

MADE WAS KILLED BY THE OBNOXIOUS ODDS.
JACKOFHEARTS2005 WAS KILLED BY THE FATAL 5'S.

IT IS NOW DAY 6.
YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO LYNCH SOMEONE.

NUTELLA, MADE, AND JACKOFHEARTS2005 ARE NOT LYNCHABLE* TODAY BECAUSE THEY JUST REANIMATED.

*YEP, THAT'S STILL A THING. HA-HA! HA! HA!

ONE HOUR TO GO FOR THOSE SUBMISSIONS.

HOO DOGGY! I RECKON IT'S GONNA BE A MIGHTY BORING NIGHT IF Y'ALL DON'T GET THEM THERE POWER REQUESTS AND TEAM KILL REQUESTS IN. IT'S BEEN AS QUIET AS A GHOST TOWN ROUND THESE PARTS. SADDLE UP, COWPOKE.

Is there a pattern to the new respawn numbers, or is it random?

NO PATTERN. THE ROLE ORDER WAS INITIALLY RANDOMIZED TO START THE GAME. ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT ORDER HAVE BEEN MADE AT MY DISCRETION. ADJUSTMENTS ARE SOLELY TO PREVENT ACTIVE ROLES FROM NEGATING THE VISIBILITY OF OTHER ACTIVE ROLES.

------------------------------------

OH, WHAT A NIGHT

Everyone (well everyone save for one person) heard the gunshots rip through the night air. Then again, I guess you could say everyone save for two, if you include Jackofhearts2005. And why shouldn't we count him?

A crowd gathered outside an apartment at the north end of town. All that glitters may be gold but tonight, all that glistened was Golden's blood in the street. A revolver was found next to the body, all six rounds discharged. Enough of his face hadn't been rendered a sickening pulpy mass for him to be identified.

"The person who did this can't be far!" shouted one person.

"Yeah, let's go find them and make them pay!"

After a few nervous glances and a cough or two, people paired up and started searching.

---------------------

Epignosis trailed behind his search partner, breathing heavier than usual. He had to stop running.

"Come on," his search partner said. "There's a bench on the other side of this street. You can sit down there if you like."

"Thanks," he said, fumbling his way into the street.

"Hey!" his search partner called out. "Stand right there for a second!"

"Okay," Epignosis said. "Why do you want m-"

He never finished his sentence because at that exact moment a half-frozen car appeared out of nowhere and plowed right through him. Jackofhearts2005 got out and looked around, confused.

"What just happened?" Jack asked.

---------------------

"Call it," #50 urged. Nachomamma8 just stood there stunned speechless after seeing Epignosis become roadkill.

"Call it!" #50 shouted. No response. The madman shrugged his shoulders, pulled out his captive bolt pistol, and popped Nacho right between the eyes.

---------------------------------------------

GOLDEN WAS KILLED BY THE SINISTER 6'S.
EPIGNOSIS WAS KILLED BY THE CRAZY 8'S.
NACHOMAMMA8 WAS KILLED BY #50

JACKOFHEARTS2005 HAS REAPPEARED.

IT IS NOW DAY 5.
YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO LYNCH SOMEONE.
DRWILGY, GOLDEN, EPIGNOSIS, AND NACHOMAMMA8 ARE NOT LYNCHABLE* TODAY BECAUSE THEY JUST REANIMATED.

MOVINGPICTURES07

HEY, WAIT! HOW DID HE GET IN HERE?!?

MOVINGPICTURES07 HAS REPLACED DFARADAY.

*ALSO UNKILLABLE BY ANY DAYTIME POWERS OR MECHANICS THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS

Hello. It's G-Man, not THE GAME.

I'm breaking character because Day 5 got, frankly, out of hand. Words were said in public and private that rubbed me the wrong way on a day when my job has me stressed out good and plenty. I am not offended by anything that's been said, however. You all should know by now that I'm not one to hold a grudge, so that is all in the past as far as I am concerned. Life and this game just have me very frustrated. My stress level is not what matters, frankly. Yours matters to me.

There has been a lot going on in this game- marginal amounts of silly fun, apathy, frustration. One thing I don't like to see pollute a game is ill will. From my perspective, The Clock mechanism has led to anger, defiance, and the early stages of ill will. I want you to know that The Clock mechanism is functioning as I designed it and any immunity to it was established in-game as I planned for it.

Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 hatched as an idea over two years ago. It took me almost two years to research, create, refine, and write down the roles. This is not a game that has been collecting dust prior to sign-ups going live. I have been actively working on this game and the intersections of its roles and mechanics for two years. It's been fun, despite requiring a beast of a spreadsheet.

I tell you this because I want you to know that, despite what it may sometimes seem like, I am not just making this up as I go. That said, this is a very fluid game (Stage 1 is at least), so all these moving pieces require flexibility. I tried to maintain variety by not duplicating too many standard roles and I tried to prevent any one team from being capable of totally overpowering the game. Despite my best intentions, I cannot prevent imbalance or overpowering because I am not in control of this game. You are.

You make the decisions. You determine who dies and in which order. For the record, the role selection order was completely randomized. I may move future roles around to prevent overlapping here and negation there, but that is, I believe, my duty as a host- the present you with a game that isn't boring and predictable. This is specifically why I did not and will not spell things out to the letter 100% of the time, because your actions may throw rigidity out the window.

Information flows freely in this game for a reason. It's to test you. But information isn't limited to flowing just between you players. Ask me questions. I am not bound by anything other than protecting the identities of those who do not wish to go public with their roles and keeping certain mechanics a secret that may give too much away. You can ask me questions. Well, you can ask THE GAME questions. How much he will reveal is up to him, but he will almost always give you an answer. An answer that isn't as informative as you might like is still an answer.

About THE GAME... It is a character from two games I ran on a now-defunct mafia site called The Piano. It is a malevolent flying saucer from another galaxy. I chose to tie this game to my Secret Mafia universe as a way to introduce the uninitiated to the character before I host Secret Mafia 3. THE GAME is the personification of the god complex that comes with hosting. He is sarcastic, malicious, and antagonistic. But THE GAME is not a way for me to trash talk you players. Oh sure, THE GAME loves to trash talk but that's because he desires to mess with your head. Please take anything THE GAME says with a grain of salt and chuckle at his condescending superiority complex. Do not let him get under your skin. THE GAME is just a narrative element meant to add sass and flavor.

Now we come to the crux of it. The game was suspended mid-phase because I could see a train wreck and/or a revolt coming. Unfortunately, I cannot make everyone happy in regards to The Clock mechanism and how it played out. This leaves me with only one choice. If I can't make everyone happy, I'm just going to have to make everyone unhappy.

Day 5 is going to be re-booted tonight. Whatever role you had and any restrictions, limitations, goals, and/or assignments you had when the night post dropped for Night 4 are reset to that same level. If you were insanified when Day 5 began, I'm sorry but you will be insanified again. If you had access to a chat at the beginning of Day 5, you will have access to it again. Unfortunately, things were said that can't be unsaid, so information is out there from Day 5 version 1.0. We're all just going to have to adapt to that.

I will reboot Day 5 sometime around 9:30 tonight. Between then and now, I have a lot of work to do. I have to undo many changes to my spreadsheet and figure out if I need to send any of you clarifying PM's. Bear with me while I work through all this and know that I may not get back to you on some of your questions until tomorrow. This is a complex game and there is more going on behind the scenes than you realize. You may be able to discern some of it but I guarantee that you cannot discern all of it.

And as always, if you're not sure you've been given a fair shake for any reason, get with JJJ. He's here to help.

THE SIMULATION THREAD HAS BEEN UNLOCKED.

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT WILL COME AROUND 4:30 PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME.

YOU MAY POST BUT KNOW THAT THE SIMULATION IS STILL SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY.

THE SIMULATION IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.

STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.

Sure, now that the ramifications are patently clear, we know what you were implying. But, literally none of the players guessed that what you meant was that once a player goes ka-blooey, the person who previously posted was then in danger. No one guessed that it was a possibility.

AND NO ONE BOTHERED TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION EITHER. DID YOU ASSUME I WOULD HOLD YOUR HANDS AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED TO KNOW RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE? YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ASSUME.

INFORMATION FLOWS QUITE FREELY IN THIS SIMULATION. THERE ARE VERY FEW RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT YOU MAY SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. YOU HAVE THOUGHT TO ASK EACH OTHER MANY QUESTIONS. WHY, THEN, HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO MOST OF YOU THAT I AM PREPARED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU ASK OF ME?

CLOCK IMMUNITY ONLY MADE SENSE TO ME, AND I AM A BEING OF VAST, SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE. COMPETING IN THE SING-ALONG NORMALLY GIVES ONE IMMUNITY FROM THE LYNCH POLL, WHICH GUARANTEES SAFE PASSAGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. THE CLOCK'S DESTRUCTIVE NATURE TAKES AWAY THAT SAFE PASSAGE, SO IMMUNITY FROM THE CLOCK WAS NECESSARY AS WELL.

BUT WHY AM I WASTING MY TIME EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU? YOU'RE DEAD AND DON'T MATTER UNTIL DAY 6.

HA-HA! HA! HA!

NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO STATE THAT POSTS FROM DEAD PLAYERS DO NO RESET THE CLOCK. NOR DO ANY OF MY POSTS SINCE THE MASS KABLOOEY.

BEGINNING RIGHT NOW, THE CLOCK STARTS. IF 60 MINUTES GO BY WITHOUT ANYONE POSTING, THE LAST PLAYER TO POST WILL DIE. MORE SPECIFICALLY, HIS OR HER HEAD WILL EXPLODE. IT'S QUITE A MESSY PHENOMENON BUT I ALWAYS GET A GIGGLE OUT OF IT.

"Hey!" his search partner called out. "Stand right there for a second!"

"Okay," Epignosis said. "Why do you want m-"

He never finished his sentence because at that exact moment a half-frozen car appeared out of nowhere and plowed right through him. Jackofhearts2005 got out and looked around, confused.

"What just happened?" Jack asked.

---------------------

"Call it," #50 urged. Nachomamma8 just stood there stunned speechless after seeing Epignosis become roadkill.

"Call it!" #50 shouted. No response. The madman shrugged his shoulders, pulled out his captive bolt pistol, and popped Nacho right between the eyes.

GOLDEN WAS KILLED BY THE SINISTER 6'S.

I disagree. I think it matters, the question is just sussing out how.

I've been wondering if there is any method to role redistribution after a player has died, or if it's all just randomized. It seems like it would he useful to figure that out.
And how do tou propose we do that?

However, I think I was assigned the sexy singalong and I don't have the time or energy left after my last guest just got out to complete that... I fail...

SPEAKING OF THE SING-ALONG, THERE ARE JUST 4 HOURS LEFT FOR THE REST OF YOU CONTESTANTS TO SEND IN YOUR SUBMISSIONS.
