re: golden, maybe you're right, I still think this narrow lynch will give a lot of info to look back on. I think a lot of it will make me look bad but oh well.

They took a lot of drugs and made a lot of irresponsible decisions. So it works for me; I am sure not for TH though

Lorab twirled, she just loved to twirl.

Everywhere she looked, there were more people fighting for their lives. She twirled past JJJ, and MM, and FZ. and past DH. She ignored their struggles and just ... kept ... twirling

She was twirling so fast, she did not notice the group of people with sickles and pitchforks until she plowed right into them.

She finally stopped twirling.

Lorab has been lynched. She was:


It is now Night 3. You have 23 hours to get in your night actions.

Well, try again y'all

I just voted for every player that hasn't already received a vote today and then returned to Tranq. I have no idea whether the hosts even have a way to track that, but I did it so there you go.

Yes, TH & I are in here 24/7 staring at the poll & constantly refreshing, our eyes held open by toothpicks. And caffeine, lots of caffeine. We saw all those votes, we see EVERYTHING

Mafia are a team, because they are exactly aware who they are, what they are doing and how they position themselves throughout the game.

We disagree in the strongest possible way on this. So be it.

Oldest argument in Mafia

I wish civs didn't play like scum too, but I've been fighting this fight ALL GAME and people who disagree just disagree.

But, thats different from calling someone elses game unacceptable.

I think JJ is going down, and I think that his voters are making a massive error. If he is lynched and comes back civ, I'll be putting a vote on HB as soon as the next day begins.

If JJ is actually bad, I've been bamboozled. I just don't think I have.

@Mac - if he just voted llama, the three of you might not be throwing your toys out of the pram at all.

"Calling someone else's game unacceptable".

No, the vote move is. I can criticise someone's vote move all I want, it's called mafia. Doesn't mean I attacked his entire game.

Rico, I'll ask that you don't describe anyone else's anything as unacceptable, ever. You don't actually get to decide their game style.

Recent games have had several mod interactions because of language like this, and its getting old. We can tell others they are suspicious because of things, we can suspect them all we want.

We can't tell them what is and is not an acceptable way to play the game.

Long Con wrote: So yeah... this game is full of death. As you were.

The Champions gathered for their daily exercise period, when what they chose to exercise was their minds. Each new day seemed a new world to them, a world reborn, as it were. Another day for them to get it right. On Day One, they lynched a civ, but he was asking for it. So they gave it to him, and in retrospect, that was OK.

So they gathered and thought and talked, and spun rainbows with their words.

~~~~~

More and more people died each night. Sig worked feverishly to try to save them, but, alas, he could only save one at a time. Fortunately only one civilian had died the night before, but if he could save them all, he would have.

In his years he had come up with so many clever ideas to help his friends. Recently, though, he had settled on one thing, shield making. He knew he would be able to save many Champions once he got up to speed. He put all of his resources to protecting Civilians all night, every night. His furnace blasting, he carefully welded together gears in a seemingly random pattern, so intricate it was beautiful. When it was complete it was impervious, and yet let light through the spokes of the gears from which it was made. He put some decorative lions heads on the perimeter to scare away the baddies. He was ready for tonight, ready to give another civvie a chance during the long night.




He should have thought more of days, imo. He was ever the crusader, and said what he thought, even if others thought it shed him in a bad light. And on this day, quite a few thought so, it would seem. Some people never learned.

sig has been lynched, he was:


It's night people, and none of you have shields

You have 23 hours to get those night actions in.

THANK YOU!!!! I started to do this on page one of the thread, but never finished it. I will put these links in that post, it is like the 3rd or 4th post of the thread, to make them easier to find.

In other news~

dfaraday was quietly lurking about as he is wont to do, watching quietly and waiting for something to catch his eye. Generally he lasted deep into games as he was so, so blendy. Not this time.


dfaraday has been killed by someone. Can't tell you who. Literally

Atop the Champions Stadium, far, far above the field, was the Hosts' Office. It was right at the very rim of the dome, and had a vast window looking out over the stadium.

Standing by the window were a large bear in a crown, and a cute l'il monkey in a little uniform, looking out across the stadium.

They had just sent messages out to two groups, with a simple question; "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

Almost immediately, a messenger ran up to their office with their first answer:

"Um, Rock! No wait, everyone says rock. Paper! But wait... scissors are sharp, like a knife, this is Mafia, people get stabbed all the time. No, no, I'm overthinking it, Rock!!
Wait, I just know they will pick rock. Make it paper, I already phoned a friend, that's my final answer. Ro... ohh PAPER. It's PAPER."

"It looks like it will be paper", said the Bear.

A few minutes later a second messenger came running up the stadium stairs. Out of breath, he handed them a sealed envelope.

The Monkey opened it. He looked at the Bear. "It says 'Rock" he said.

~~~~~~~~

Later that night a group of Champions was sitting around a local pub, eating dinner & quaffing some brews. It was loud and crowded. Later, after it was all over, no one could seem to say just who it was that threw the paper airplane across the room. All they knew was that it had pierced someones eye, and plowed right into her brain. She slumped over into her plate, spattering radiatore and marinara sauce all over the tablecloth. She'd only gotten a few mouthfuls, too




a2thezebra has been killed by an odd person with a paper airplane. She was....




It is now Day 2~ you have 48 hours to try and catch the deranged individual who did this, or any deranged individual, really.

How did you guys not know Turnip Head was the monkey? Nubs.

Golden wrote:@JJJ - when talking in smilies I couldn't really tell but I felt like your was indicating you had at least a mild suspicion of me.

Could you talk more about this please.

Nah, I just couldn't find anything suitable to represent you. I looked everywhere for a decent gold bar or even a kiwi, and I found nothing. I couldn't believe the Internet had never produced those things to this point. They did exist, but they were more picture than emoji and it seemed lame.

I chose magnifying glass guy because you're an investigator and stuff. :P

Having spent 2 days pensively mulling over the merits of each choice, rationally & calmly, in an environment of solemnity and silence, the Group Of Champions had come to a decision.

"But what about Ezekiel?" Golden asked, and Elohcin, Dom and Dr Wilgy nodded in agreement. They stood in a little cluster with a few other Ezekiel followers.

A smaller, but equally vocal group, declared Finn McMissile to be their choice. "nubs " said Tranq when he saw that Finn was not going to be the winner.

Duncan Idaho & Xander Crews got a few stragglers. Xander had gotten more votes, actually, than the number of Xtacles he had ever found

Watari, they declared, was the winner. From DharmaHelper to sig and Sorsha, and all the way to Spacedaisy, they had all thought it most likely that Watari had made the final cut.

Sadly they were wrong, and no roles were revealed. It's too bad Watari did not make the final cut; he was a pretty awesome guy.



Nub Champions

It is now Day One~! You have 48 hours to choose one of your number to lynch!

*Don't be a dick~ it's a game. Don't be drama, it's not Broadway.
*It is our policy to not allow prize discussion in our games. If you did (or did not) win a prize at any time in the game, please do not discuss this in the thread
*No reproducing or paraphrasing host PMs, or direct discussing of night results or of if you were targeted or with what.
