Mini 950: DCI Mafia (The Results Are In...)

[Parama]

Thanks for telling us that one of the two up for lynch is scum and that one is town. Makes me more confident in my read on you.
Thanks for scumslipping, too. Makes life a lot easier.

[Slaxx]

I was making the assumption that you were scum and you knew they were mislynch targets.

[Parama]

If I was scum and both CMAR and Nikanor were town then it doesn't make sense for me to drive the town away from lynching both of them like I did.

[Trumpet of Doom]

Another long day of fractious debate. The names of possible suspects were thrown around like confetti, Nikanor being the most vocal about having a variety of suspicions. As the sun drifted towards the western horizon and the group grew more and more bloodthirsty, it was finally decided that Nikanor needed to be gotten rid of to make life easier for everyone.

Unlike with animorpherv1, the group decided they would suffocate Nikanor. When they ran into his room to find something to do the job, Nachomamma8 noticed a mike headset on the nightstand. As a unit, the group decided they would stuff it down Nikanor's throat, which they then proceeded to do.

After they were confident that Nikanor was dead, Slaxx mentioned that there were really only two corps that used voice amplification, and it was the Cadets who used mike headsets. It was quickly agreed that Nikanor must have been the Cadets (some of you had noticed his habit of taking his first step with his right foot), and Nicodemus was dispatched to confirm that the Cadets were, in fact, one of the corps trying to rig the competition.

He came back five minutes later with a look of profound disappointment. "Their exact words were, 'Despite what you may have expected, the Cadets did only want a fair contest.'" Somewhat shaken, and recalling the multiple deaths the previous night, the eight of you remaining return to your rooms.

A mumbled comment - it was impossible to tell from whom - suggested that everyone should sleep with one eye open.

Nikanor,

The Cadets,

Townie Miller, Lynched D2

It is now Night 2. Day 3 will begin Wednesday evening, in approximately 48 hours.

[Trumpet of Doom]

"Good morning. This is your wake-up call... Good morning. This is your wake-up call..."

Nachomamma8 threw the phone back in the general direction of the receiver (missing by a mile), feeling grumpy that he hadn't had his morning coffee yet... until it crossed his sleep-addled mind that hearing the wake-up call meant he wasn't dead yet. Understandably, this cheered him up a good deal. He pulled on pants and a shirt and headed to the buffet, then the conference room where the group had spent so much of the last two days.

He got there to discover five other faces. "Who are we missing?"

Stephoscope said, "Uh... Starbuck and Parama. We were about to go start looking for you, to be honest."

Starbuck's room was closer, so they went there first. Her room was filled with nice blown glass (some of the group remembered a glassblower friend of theirs who went by DrippingGoofball and wondered if it was her handiwork), some of which had apparently been broken and used to stab her to death. She was in the Glassmen, that much was clear; a quick email to the admins came back saying that yes, the Glassmen were innocent of any wrongdoing.

On their way down to Parama's room, they saw him in the hallway. He was holding two boxy objects, one of which appeared to have earbuds plugged in, and was staggering like a drunk. As they got closer, they could tell he was saying something, but they couldn't really hear it until the last bit: "...I... am... Spa

"

kunkstar7 ran over to Parama and took a look. "Sleeping pills. Looks like he must have taken an entire box of them just a few minutes ago. And he's got an iPod playing 'Best of Basie'... does that mean anything to anyone?"

"Count Basie was a jazz pianist," CryMeARiver piped up. "Do we want to try to revive him?"

"Tell you the truth, I'd rather not," said Slaxx. "Hey, do you think that 'Spartacus' bit meant anything?"

"Didn't Phantom do a Spartacus show a couple of years ago?" someone asked. The administrators walking by revealed that Parama had, in fact, been a member of Phantom Regiment, and that Phantom was making an independent effort to take over the circuit.

Relieved that one threat to their continued existence was out of the way, the remaining six players went back to the conference room for a third day of arguing.

Starbuck,

Glassmen,

Vanilla Townie, Sacrificed N2

Parama,

SPARTACUS

Phantom Regiment,

Serial Killer, Got the Blues Real Bad N2

Day 3 begins!

With 6 alive, it will take 4 to lynch at any time, including deadline.

Deadline:

Wednesday, May 19, 2010, ~9:00 PM CDT (GMT-6+1)

[Slaxx]

...Wow, See, I knew something was up with Parama.

Anyway, I am going to reread.

[Slaxx]

With 6 left, I do believe a no lynch is the right option, I will wait until I get some feedback.

[Nachomamma8]

I vote we popcorn massclaim our regiments first, and see if anything interesting arises from that. Kunk would start in that scenario. Then yes, we'll no lynch.

[Slaxx]

Can you link me to popcorn massclaiming?

[Slaxx]

nvm. wiki got it

[Parama]

goddamn bastard modding

[kunkstar7]

There is only Nacho, Slaxx, Nico, and Steph left to claim regiments. Myself and CMAR have claimed in full.

I would like Steph to claim first.

[Slaxx]

Does Everyone agree on Steph->Nicodemus->Slaxx->Nacho then?

[kunkstar7]

Does Everyone agree on Steph->Nicodemus->Slaxx->Nacho then?

I thought we were popcorn claiming. Therefore Steph would choose who he wants to claim next.

[Slaxx]

Oh. I didn't know thats how it worked. 0_o

I thought town just agreed on an order.

[kunkstar7]

Oh. I didn't know thats how it worked. 0_o

I thought town just agreed on an order.

The problem with town agreeing on an order is scum can influence the list to put themselves in a more favorable position. So each player after they claim chooses one of the remaining unclaimed players who they woud like to claim.

But if Steph was scum, could he not still manipulate it?

He can only manipulate the next in line, and if he's scum then good because we want scum locked into the claim early, so they can't claim a random role that no one else has claimed to be safe.

In any case, we are waiting on Steph's claim.

I still don't understand what he meant that I copied my claim from somewhere...

[kunkstar7]

From the first page...where ToD posted a copy of the vanilla role pm?

[CryMeARiver]

From the first page...where ToD posted a copy of the vanilla role pm?

My role isn't on there though. The only place I got my role was from my PM...

[Nachomamma8]

Kunk got it. So no more discussion until Steph claims, please.

[CryMeARiver]

Kunk got it. So no more discussion until Steph claims, please.

I still don't understand, but okay. Let's go Steph!

[Slaxx]

Prod Stephoscope

Has been 3 days.

I prodded everyone when day started - it doesn't count towards the "third prod = replacement" limit, but it does count for "48 hours between prod and replacement." If he hasn't posted by tomorrow night, I'll start looking for a replacement. - ToD
