Mini 774: Case Closed Mafia (One Truth Prevails!)

[Gorrad]

Case Closed Mafia

Murderers are loose in Japan, and a mysterious drug is making its way around, having unforseen effects on those it was meant to silence forever. Not to mention the Phantom Theif problem. Will those who will resort to murder for their own ends succeed, or will one truth prevail?

RULES (Stolen from Flameaxe and modified slightly):

General:

1) Have a jolly good time.
2) The mod is always right. Deal with it.
3) If you have a problem with something regarding the game, please PM me, try to keep it out of the thread.
4) Vote in the format

Vote: Gorrad

. Unvoting is cool, but if you forget, don't worry about it.
5) Do not quote role PMs or any other form of communication with me. Failure to comply will result in a modkill.
6) Keep the game in the game. Don't discuss the game outside of the game unless your role says you can. I will find out. I have people. Those people have people.
7) Bah posts are permitted, provided they are realtively witty and contain absolutely no knowledge that could even possibly be helpful to any other player. The first part will not be enforced, only encouraged, while the second part will be extremely enforced.
8) Green is reserved for Mod use. Feel free to use any visable color (No whites, bright yellows, etc.) except green.

Deadlines and Activity:

9) Each game day will have non-negotiable three week deadlines.
10) If no majority is reached at the deadline, the player with the most votes will be lynched.
11) I am expecting all of you to be active. If a player goes without a post for 72 hours, they will recieve a prod, and if there is no reply to the prod (or no posting in thread) within two days, you will be put up for replacement. I am not perfect at spotting these, so don't be afraid to let me know if I miss someone.
12) Do not abuse rule 11. The more I have to prod you, the more I won't like you.
13) If you plan on being away from modern civilization for more than 48 hours, let me know via PM.

Status: D5! With three alive, it's two to lynch.

[Gorrad]

Day One Begins. With Twelve alive, it's Seven to lynch.

Pacman has until Monday to post.

As of 4:00, it is twilight. Firestarter has been lynched. Night will start at 4:00 tomorrow, feel free to discuss until then. I've changed my mind, and prods will go out then too.

[Gorrad]

As you all gather around Firestarter, fingers pointing and glasses flashing dramatically, he backs into a corner. His cries fall on deaf ears once the mob notices he says the wrong name for his supposed son, and he soon dies.

Peeling away his disguise, you realise that he really was Vivian Kudo, Vanilla Townie. What surprises you most, though is the picture of Serena Sebastian in his (Or her, I suppose) pocket...

Firestarter, Vanilla Townie, Vivian Kudo/Serena Sebastian killed D1

It is now Night One. Send night choices in ASAP.

[Gorrad]

As the day dawns, all are shocked (with some exceptions) to find the body of Isacc, better known as Richard Moore, Cop. He was shot point-blank with a pistol. Looks like someone didn't want him snooping around, no matter how skilled he may or may not be.

The oddest thing, though, was the picture of Saguru Hakuba he had on him. What he could want with Hakuba, though, one can only speculate...

Twilight lasts as close to 24 hours from now as possible.

[Gorrad]

The day looks bleak once more as Lindisfarne is brought up to die. Madeofphail, leading the strike, calls him a LIAR! Surely only one of them could truely be truthful, he insists, and it certainly wasn't Lind.

But as Lindisfarne is killed, spirits sink when they search him and his house to find that he was, in fact, Hershel Agasa, Roleblocker. It seems one of the most brilliant minds in the world has been killed before his time...

...but as Lindisfarne's body starts to grow stiff, you begin to see that maybe Agasa was killed even earlier than you expected. For Lind's body seems to be...changing. Shrinking at the waist, growing slightly, and turning steadily younger. It seems an imposter was amongst you as Lind is revealed to actually be the blond-haired man in black himself, Gin. One of the town's enemies, and Agasa's murderer, has been brought to his final truth.

Lindisfarne, Mafia Roleblocker, Hershel Agasa/Gin, lynched D2

N2! Get night choices in to me ASAP

[Gorrad]

Lindisfarne 2 replaces Inquisitor Vulcan Skorn

As the day breaks, you're surprised to find not one, not two, but three bodies in the town square! The first belonged to Alexhans, none other than the great Kaito Kid, AKA Kaito Kuroba! Though what you don't understand is why his housekey is that of the home of Kaito's butler, Konosuke Jii. Stranger still is that he seems to be in perfect health, other than being dead, and the only clue to the MO is some faint traces of magic...

The other two were obviously in a standoff, a series climax, that unfortunately is not pictured here. Madeofphail, AKA Conan Edagawa, AKA Jimmy Kudo, shot by the man who turned him such. None other than Vodka, the second Man in Black, who was cunningly disguised as Booker Kudo, Jimmy's father. Vodka was better known as Lindisfarne 2, though, and is knocked into a coma across the way from Conan.

It is now Twilight! Night begins in roughly 24 hours.

[Gorrad]

As the town begins to thin out, down to half of its original size, it is quickly decided that Millar13 should be strung up. First he claims he protected one person, then another...it seems an obvious lier has been caught.

Alas that the lier is town. Millar13 was, in fact, Eva Kadan, Doctor. Familiar at this point with the pictures people have been carrying, you soon find one of Miwako Sato.

Millar13, Doctor, Eva Kadan/Miwako Sato, lynched D3

It is now N3! Get night choices in ASAP.

[Gorrad]

Day breaks quickly to find the body of Kairyuu, one of the men in black! Well, sorta. Shiho Miyano had put her days in the Black Organization behind her, and had sworn her revenge upon them. Unfortunately, it looks like she was killed by magic before that could happen. Unsurprisingly, you find that in her pockets is a picture of Anita Hailey.

As the day ends, people begin to realise hey, are we not killing as they are to achieve our version of justice? Let's give it a break for a day. And so everyone goes to bed alive.

[Gorrad]

As day breaks, people are feeling pretty good. They didn't kill anyone yesterday, so maybe none of them was killed at night!

Alas that that isn't the case. The mangled body of Korlash is found on the streets, dead once more by magic. He's soon identified as Harley Hartwell, and the picture in his pocket is none other than Mitch Tennison, of the Junior Detective League. He was a great detective, but nothing more

Three people remain. Will one truth prevail? Only time will tell.

Korlash, Vanilla Townie, Harley Hartwell/Mitch Tennison, magic'd N5

Day! With three alive, it's two to lynch!

[Gorrad]

It's the last day! With three people alive, only ONE can be the killer. Rachel, Inspector Meguire, and Sumiko Kobayashi. Unfortunately for one, all is not as it appears.

Battousai, AKA Inspector Meguire, had been worried about losing Harley, a well known detective, and set up a stakeout outside his house. That night, he saw Sumiko, AKA StrangerCoug, enter. With Harley dead, Rachel (Sajin) has to decide whether to believe the inspector or Conan's teacher. The choice is easy.

As Sumiko crumbles to the floor, the magic surrounding her dissapates, revealing Akako Koizumi, enchantress. Turns out the nickname of 'witch' was well-earned.

Though many lives were lost, it goes to show you that in the end, one truth always prevails!

StrangerCoug, SK, Sumiko Kobayashi/Akako Koizumi lynched D5

Battousai, Watcher, Joseph Meguire/George Kaminski
and
Sajin, Vanilla Townie, Rachel Moore/Amy Yeager

Roles!

Hi, you're

Jimmy Kudo, Tracker

. As one of the World's Greatest Detectives, you're a pro at tailing suspects. Once per night, you can choose one person to follow and see where they're sneaking off to...

Hello, you're

Richard Moore, Cop

. As head of the Moore Detective Agency, you're privy to all sorts of police databases and files, allowing you to look up one person a night. Your records should tell you whether or not they're a crook.

Greetings, you are

Konosuke Jii, 1-shot governor

. You were the assistant to the original Kaitou Kid, and now you're the aide to the title's heir. You've lived long and have had time to make many connections. Once in the game, you can use one such connection to stop the day's lynch.

What?!? You're

Hershal Agasa, Mafia Roleblocker

. But you're not really. You're a member of the Black Organization hidden deep undercover. Once per night, you can choose one person on which you can use one of Agasa's toys, stopping them from doing anything that night.

Also, you and your partner, ???, disguised as

Booker Kudo, Mafia Ninja

, have two abilities you can use at night. One is a kill that either of you can choose to carry out instead of a night action. The other is the APTX 4869 drug, which does not replace a night action and is not counted as such in any way, shape, or form, which can be used on any person currently in the game. You and your partner can talk at night.

Huh?!? You're

Booker Kudo, Mafia Ninja

. But you're not really. You're a member of the Black Organization hidden deep undercover. If you ever decide to send in your group's Night Kill, it cannot be seen by any sort of Tracker, Watcher, or similar role.

Also, you and your partner, ???, disguised as

Hershal Agasa, Mafia Roleblocker

. have two abilities you can use each night. One is a kill that either of you can choose to carry out instead of a night action. The other is the APTX 4869 drug, which does not replace a night action and is not counted as such in any way, shape, or form, which can be used on any person currently in the game. You and your partner can talk at night.

Hold on...You're

Sumiko Kobayashi, SK

?!? You've been called the Witch by your students, but who knew how right they were? Taking this form makes it easy to obtain your goal! Which, it seems, is to kill off everyone. What a good story this makes...Once per night, you can target one person to kill.

How's it going? You're

Harley Hartwell, Vanilla Townie

. You've got a lot going for you with your detective work, but unfortunately it's not going to help you much here. You've got your vote: Use it wisely, detective!

Glad you're here! You're

Vivian Kudo, Vanilla Townie

. Your son's gotten you into another mess, it seems. Well, time to use those skills that you've gained from having a suspense novellist for a husband. You've got your vote, use it well!

Hey! You're

Rachel Moore, Vanilla Townie

. Well, you've gotten yourself into another fine mess, haven't you? Better get to work helping your dad. And who knows, maybe Jimmy will show up! Until then, do him proud by using your vote well.

Hmm. You're

Shiho Miyano, Vanilla Townie

. You've put your days in the Black Organization behind you, and now you're here to pay them back for killing your sister! You may have only a vote, but you can bet that it'll be used well!

Yo! You're

Eva Kadan, Doctor

. Well, you're a doctor of law. Once per night, you can convince the law to set up a security checkpoint outside someone's house, making sure no one with a weapon gets through.

Howdy, you're

Joseph Meguire, Watcher

. Your time in the Force has given you something much more valuable than a gun or paperwork. It's given you experience! Once per night, you can set up a perimeter around someone's house and see if anyone pays a visit there.

The APTX 4869 drug acted as a role changer, as was suspected. The following were the changes:

Jimmy Kudo Tracker - Conan Edagawa Vig

Shiho Miyano Vanilla - Anita Hailey 1-shot reverser

Konosuke Jii 1-shot governor - Kaito Kuroba Jack (RB, Forced commute, Hider)

Hershel Agasa Mafia Roleblocker - Gin Mafia Jailkeeper

Booker Kudo Mafia Ninja - Vodka Mafia Daykiller

Sumiko Kobayashi SK - Akako Koizumi SK (Kill can’t be stopped by men except Kaito)

Richard Moore Cop - Saguru Hakuba Finder (SK)

Eva Kadan Doc - Miwako Sato Vanilla

Joseph Meguire Watcher- George Kaminski Vanilla

Harley Hartwell Vanilla - Mitch Tennison Vanilla

Vivian Kudo Vanilla - Serena Sebastian Vanilla

Rachel Moore Vanilla - Amy Yeager Vanilla

The first three helped town, the second three helped scum, the third three hurt town, and the fourth three had no effect. Mafia had the ill fortune to target two of the first three (though I loved that their first target was Conan). Anita Hailey's role reversed the drug's effect.

Well played on all sides! Many props to SC (I thought you were done for when you admitted that the word 'witch' was in your role PM after the kill MO was magic) as well as the town for their quick work of the mafia, ruining many of my schemes ><.

Feedback is appreciated! If you like this game, please sign up for the Webcomic Wars large, now taking signups.

[Gorrad]

Changed Role PMs:

Hi! You're now

Conan Edagawa, Vig!

You're a detective! Or, at least you used to be before you got shrunk. Now you may not be able to research and investigate as much as you did, but you DO have super-powered shoes! Once per night, you can kick a soccer ball and knock someone out (in all respects other than flavor, a kill).

Woah! You're now

Kaito Kuroba, Jack of All Trades

. You have three one-shot abilities: Your Card Gun can disarm someone, Roleblocking them. Your uncanny ability to knock people out can force them to commute for a night. Finally, by taking over another person's identity, you can only die that night if they're targetted for a night kill (the killer will then kill their real target as well). You can use one of these per night!

[Gorrad]

I needed a replacement for IVS, so I just told Lind going into it that he was gonna die. Couldn't really have him replace and live, it would be obvious that he replaced scum. Anyhow, here's the night actions.
