Open 245 - Mini Love - Scum win!

[Mr.Sandman]

Love is many splendored thing. Or it was at least. Back in the 50's maybe. How times change. The first sign that the next generation weren't quite as loved up as their predecessors had come when some unsuspecting binman had found a body in binbag on his rounds, the body of someone who was no longer alive, and by the look of vacant surprise hadn't been the one who had planted the knife in his own heart. Something had to be done. Even those who were smitten by love were no longer sure whether they could trust one another. The one thing everyone agreed on was that most obvious solution was a public vote.

The Rules

(my own version of a couple of other players)

1. Mafia is a team game. Play to win.

2. No editing or deleting posts.

3. Don't talk to other players outside the game thread unless your Role PM states specifically that you can. Only use the channels provided.

4. Role PMs are posted at the start of the topic. Feel free to quote those as necessary.

5. Vote for a player to be lynched by using the

Vote: Mr.Sandman

format. Using

unvote

would be nice but is not necessary.

6. Days will last 3 weeks. Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be cut short if I get all actions in before then. There will be no deadline extensions.

7. A lynch always requires a majority (50% rounded down + 1) vote.

8. Do not reference ongoing games.

9. You may also vote no lynch. A no lynch will occur if either a majority of no lynch votes is reached, or there is no other majority at the deadline.

10. After someone has been lynched, discussion may continue until I can get to the thread and end the day.

11. Don't post hidden messages.

12. If you haven't posted in 3 days, I'll prod you. If you don't pick up that prod AND post within 48 hours, I'll replace you.

13. If you need to be replaced for whatever reason, please PM me. If you are V/LA, please post in the thread notifying me of your V/LA or PM me about it.

14. Be nice. It's a game. Enjoy it.

15. I am the mod and my rule is final.

16. This is my first modding experience on MS. I may make mistakes. I may have missed a rule out. Let me know, ask me questions, rather than abusing my mistakes.

However, let Day 1 begin!

With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch. You have until 10PM GMT, Wednesday 29th September

Mokujin_ replaces Tangion

[Mr.Sandman]

Vote counts added at the top of the last two pages. Please remain civil towards one another. Posts 76 and 85 both violate Rule 14. Any further such unreasonable behaviour will be punished. Remember it's a game your playing. Play to enjoy, and have consideration for the enjoyment of others.

[Mr.Sandman]

Looking for a replacement for Battousai.

I don't feel Mokujin_ broke any rules in 131, 133 and 136, given that he is a transgender also. I am willing to replace anyone who doesn't see this in the same light as I do however, and would rather not continue.

A public vote was cast. andrew94 was quickly promoted to the bookies favourite for the lynch. If he didn’t know what he was after all, how could anyone else be expected to? The majority vote sparked a full scale manhunt, but andrew94 was nowhere to be found. He’d already been banished and would not return. However, he’d thoughtfully left some identification so that everyone would know that he was

Deadline is in 72 hours, or as soon as I get on after that

[Mr.Sandman]

It was early morning. The binman was on his rounds again, unperturbed by the fact that he was responsible for removing the rubbish of both saint and sinner, and lover and unloved. He was less surprised this time when he found another body poking out of a wheelie bin. He checked for ID this time. It was

Zed, Doctor

. But in his excitement at being the bearer of a piece of town gossip, he didn't think to check out the house the body had been dumped outside. Instead, he decided to call another meeting in the town hall.

It is Day 2

Confusion reigned in the town. Even in love it seemed, they did not trust one another. Wisteria was the first one to come forward, suspicious of her lovers claim that he merely eating leftover pizza when he disappeared every night, and not having an affair with a group of villains. quadz08 was hurt, both by the lack of trust, and by the subsequent punishment for his alleged infidelity, which in this case, involved death by hanging. When Wisteria discovered that they had killed

quadz08, Lover, Town aligned

, she cried a lot. She knew life would be unbearable without him, so she jumped off the nearest bridge. Evidence was found amongst her crumpled remains, that she was

Wisteria, Lover, Town aligned

. Night fell once more.[/i]

It is now nighttime. Night will last 72 hours or until I get all roles in and players replaced that need replacing

[Mr.Sandman]

It had been a long night. So long in fact, that three of the residents had evolved into different people. This news would be plastered across the front pages of the town gazette, relegated to second place only by the revelation that the mafia had struck again, and that this time,

ZeroFang, Townie

had been the victim. His death only served to galvanise the town however, who laid him to rest in the increasingly crowded cemetery. Today, they would hold another vote.

7 alive, 4 to lynch

Deadline in 3 weeks

It's true, scum win. Thanks for playing everyone. I'll finish this off properly tomorrow when I'm not on my phone. Laptop's down

[Mr.Sandman]

Love meant nothing to

Nexus, Treacherous Lover

, clearly. It had all been a facade, a means to an end. He would make the ultimate sacrifice, not for his loved one but for the triumph of evil. As

Sevei, Lover

swung from the gallows, the pain of losing her became all too much and he crumpled into a heap and died, with the small assurance that he was leaving behind a town, which was now helpless to prevent it's destiny of ending up in bin bags the next morning. Thoughtfully, this time don_johnson and Consigliere had even labelled the bags. As they were thrown onto the bin lorry, first flying through the air was

drmyshottiszik, Townie

followed by

Tasky, Townie

and

moose200x, Townie

.

don_johnson, Goon

and

Consigliere, Goon

went to the pub, made merry and danced the day away to the tunes of David Guetta's Love is Gone.

Congratulations scum Thanks to all for playing and special mention to those who replaced in. I have new found respect for mods after this ha.

QT's can be posted if those who were in them so choose, except the one in which there was a specific request not to have posted at the end game. The lover's QT's were barely used, although a handful of replacements being needed at the wrong time probably didn't help that

Andrew's move put town on the back foot, it was a risk though, and if it had worked, town would've been in a pretty decent position. However, his attitude to the game got people's backs up. He would've had more chance of convincing people if people hadn't wanted him dead anyway
