Open 267- Lovers Mafia- Game Over

[Mitsuru Kirijo]

It is a quiet day in these suburbs, on the outskirts of New York City. The birds are singing, the grass is green, the sun is shining. And a corpse lies on the black tarmac road, flies buzzing around it as a foul stench arises, making those of a weaker disposition feel sick to their stomachs.

This body appears to have been stabbed multiple times, and simply left on the road to be discovered at dawn. Almost as if the criminals wanted you to find this. To terrorize you.

Before long, paranoia takes over. You don't want to call the police. You don't want doctors or any of that crap. It's time to take justice into your own hands, and an unconventional lynch mob soon forms as you meet in the local park, determined to get to the bottom of this.

However, the neighbourhood's killers have infiltrated this meeting. With both love and knowledge on their side, they will do their best to turn neighbour against neighbour, and friend against friend. And it was a plan that was going to succeed.

Still alive.

Role PMs:

Vanilla Townie

Vanilla Townie.

Meeting to discuss what to do about the murder that happened in the neighbourhood, you have decided to take matters into your own hands and deal with the problem yourselves. As a Vanille Townie, you have your voice, mind and vote, powerful weapons to catch the killers and bring them to bloody justice.

Win Condition: All threats to the town are eliminated.

Mafia Lover

XXXX, you are a

Mafia Lover

, the love and life of YYYY. Together, you killed the original victim and sparked this catastrophe. You cannot kill at night anymore so you must turn the town's idea of justice against them and manipulate them into lynching each other. If YYYY dies, you will kill yourself in your despair.

Win Condition: All non Mafia players are killed.

Rules:

1. This setup is Nightless. As such, lynching is the only weapon of all players.

2. My word is final, mmk? If I say something is, then it is. However, if you think I've made a mistake, a PM works wonders. This is my first modded game, so ny con crit would be nice.

4. My color is

here.

Don't steal it.

5. Discussion of ongoing games isn't allowed, nor is the discusion of this game anywhere on the site while it is ongoing.

Suspicious Lurkers Are Suspicious.

VOTE: Erinyes

Has been completely invisible in another mafia game for several days. This is especially bad for a six-player game.

Unvote;
Vote: chkflip

Oh hai, let's start talking about more in-game related things shall we? What's your general feels for lurkers, do they more often than not turn out to be scum in your experience? Will you be trying to encourage active posting or was that lurker bit just "RVS"?

[chkflip]

- More often than not, they turn out to be helpful for scum.
- I do encourage active posting; the more we have, the easier the lynches.
- The lurker bit, however, was pure RVS tomfoolery.

1. Interesting. Are you implying that he is in fact a poor townie that scum could use? If so, why not gun for scum?
2. I expect you to uphold this.
3. Hm, this is odd. The first response sounds somewhat serious in regards to your vote. Does this mean your first point was not actually related to it?

[Lateralus22]

Hiraki I can see you reading the thread ^_^

[chkflip]

@Lateral:
- Your outlook is quite intriguing. RVS is RVS, though I am implying that, if he doesn't show, he

could

be of use to them in the sense that we couldn't achieve lynch. Won't the first vote take all four townies? (Please excuse my confusion, this is my first game of this type.)
- And I you.
- It is, in fact, the way I feel and is fully related. However, I also considered the fact that this is RVS and also the very beginning of the game. I hope that Erinyes shows up. And soon.

[PE]
- Hiraki is lurking? Already? Right after we TALKED ABOUT THIS? =P

[Hiraki]

This is odd.

Preview Edit: Congrats, this thread does puzzle me.

While chkflip does seem odd, Lateralus decided to find his first post as an odd post, as in scummy.

Of course, if I was thinking correctly, chkflip shouldn't really care, which is a meh. He kind of does seem like he cares, but sometimes he doesn't.

Of course, I'm using logic now, so I basically just contradicted myself. Let's just get to questions now.

1.

What's your general feels for lurkers, do they more often than not turn out to be scum in your experience?

2.

Will you be trying to encourage active posting or was that lurker bit just "RVS"?

1. Lurkers aren't usually scum, most of the time, but when they are scum, not only do I rage, I get annoyed at such cheap wins.

2. I'd like to investigate this. It's not like I'd want to lynch someone off of the idea that they lied about someone lurking in a different game, but it'd be helpful, to say the least.

Preview Edit 2:

FFS It's Day 1 of Day 1. It's impossible for me to lurk. Well, plausible.

...

You get the point.

[Lateralus22]

What's intriguing? Moreover you still haven't answered my original question.

It is, in fact, the way I feel and is fully related. However, I also considered the fact that this is RVS and also the very beginning of the game. I hope that Erinyes shows up. And soon.

My dear, I fail to understand you. You said it was purely RVS tomfoolery but you factored in a serious element? lolwut... Can you state your position on your vote again and why he deserves your vote spot in regards to his alignment?

Have you played a completed game with Enrinye before?

[Lateralus22]

While chkflip does seem odd, Lateralus decided to find his first post as an odd post, as in scummy.

And? I care not for useless observations, tell me what you've learned form this.

Of course, if I was thinking correctly, chkflip shouldn't really care, which is a meh. He kind of does seem like he cares, but sometimes he doesn't.

Elaborate

I'd like to investigate this. It's not like I'd want to lynch someone off of the idea that they lied about someone lurking in a different game, but it'd be helpful, to say the least.

Why aren't you investigating this instead of silently saying that? Why do you think he's lying about this?

[Lateralus22]

chkflip and Hiraki, how do you feal about each other's alignments, and mine?

[chkflip]

@Lateral:
- The game erinyes has been invisible in for five days: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 0&start=50
- Your outlook intrigued me because, at face value, you're asking me a question I've already answered. I'm just not properly explaining, I suppose.
-- I was implying that he's a poor townie that scum could use.
-- It's day one, there's a 1/6 chance that my RVS vote landed on mafia.
-- In other words, I'm trying to go for scum. I have no idea if Erin is either.
- [PE] I feel like you have the right goal in mind, as does Hiraki; any particular read, however, is up in the air. Our conversation has given me no tells thus far.

@Hiraki:
- Sometimes I care, sometimes I don't? What do you mean?
- I was merely trying to answer his questions of me. Why shouldn't I care about questions asked of me?

[Lateralus22]

Sounds cool to me.

Unvote:
Vote: Hiraki

His one and only post feels like coasting. Some observations here and there that he isn't taking a particularly strong stance on, moreover why the lack of vote? You've mentioned a wish to investigate something, but I hardly see you actually doing that.

[Lateralus22]

And by investigate, I mean from what you've shown the effort scum hunting spent is marginal despite making a serious post about the game.

(Last double post, really!)

[Empking]

Vote: Later

- Calm down.

[Hiraki]

Vote: Later

- Calm down.

Agreed.

You're voting me when I haven't been able to explain myself. This isn't nice.

And? I care not for useless observations, tell me what you've learned form this.

Considering you've found my first post scummy, at this point, it seems like you're a pretty jumpy dude. The whole thing about noticing me "lurking" helps my observations quite a bit.

Elaborate

He's switching sides a little. Of course this is only one post, and I would've liked to not elaborate on this, to be quite honest.

Why aren't you investigating this instead of silently saying that? Why do you think he's lying about this?

And if I did or he did? I made this post for a point.

Not liking, but not willing to place anything down at the moment. I need more talk talk. Especially since two people haven't confirmed yet.
