Mini 1198 - Marketplace Mafia - Game Over

[Voidedmafia]

I'm just worried as to how exactly it works, is all. I didn't want to hammer quickly and then realize "Oh, crap, the stolen money means I'm not the highest bidder! *facepalm*"

Looking over all three events, I can see that the indicated money was never actually removed from the place it was stolen from (unless the robber just bid it right back), yet all 3 of them happened on the NK bid, since they all match the highest NK bid. *speciulating*

Vote: Peregrine

. If I don't get the NK, I am going to be SOO PISSED.

Spoiler: Abridged Ability Glossary

• Accountant (Targeted):
  Choose another player. You will learn how much money this player possessed at the start of this Night.
• Blind Bid (Day):
  For the remainder of the Day, only you can see the current bid for auctions. To everyone else, it will be hidden. This will be announced in-thread. Other players will be informed if they are, or are not, the highest bidder as normal.
• Bulletproof (Personal):
  You are protected from a single Night-kill targeting you this Night.
• Federal Reserve Chairman (Day):
  Every living player (including yourself) immediately gains $200. This will be announced in-thread.
• Gravedigger (Targeted):
  Choose another player who has died. You will receive all of the abilities they had when they died. This activation and the dead player who was chosen will be announced in-thread, but not who activated it or what was received.
• Hitman (Personal):
  If you activate “Night-kill” in the same night you activate “Hitman”, “Night-kill” will ignore one ability that would stop the kill from working (ie, ignore one roleblock or protection).
• Night-kill (Targeted):
  Choose another player. That player will die unless protected.
• Vote Freezer (Day):
  Choose another player who is voting, but is not voting for No Lynch. Their vote is now frozen and cannot be changed for the rest of the Day. This will be announced in-thread. This will not affect the lynch threshhold.

The arguments continued.

I played "Angry Birds" on my iPhone.

When I looked up again, they were projecting Excel spreadsheets onto the wall, and several of them were scribbling down figures and making little notations on tablets. I couldn't make heads nor tails of it, so I was just about to go back to the iPhone when a stray comment caught my attention:

"Voidedmafia is suspicious," PeregrineV said.

In one of those quirks of coincidence, the room fell silent as he said that. Even the projector seemed to quiet itself.

"What," Voidedmafia said into the void (har har, I told myself), "the hell?"

Discussion broke out immediately throughout the room all at once, but it didn't take long for me to tell that it was moving against PeregrineV. It didn't take long for him to figure it out, either.

But PeregrineV was proactive. He jumped up on the table, and wrapped the surge protector cable nee noose that we had been using around his own neck, moving to the very edge of the table, teetering on the brink.

"Huh?" he spat at Voidedmafia. "You think I'm scum?" He looked around at all of us. "YOU THINK I'M SCUM? YOU ALL HAVE NOTHING! WHERE'S YOUR EVIDENCE? YOU'VE GOT NOTHING!"

He tightened the noose around his neck, showing us all it was taut, while we looked on with horrid fascination. Finally, Voidedmafia climbed up onto the table with him and pushed him over the edge.

PeregrineV,

I herded the cats in a collective bleary eyed mess.

"You [expletive deleted]," I mumbled at ChaosOmega as I poked him. "Wake the [expletive deleted] up, it's your turn to make the coffee."

I poked him again.

It took me a long while to determine that, underneath the eighteen layers of robes and cloaks and whatnot he was wearing, he wasn't just sleeping, he was dead.

Those beady-eye things? Not his real eyes. Clever makeup. Who would've guessed?

Point remains that he was dead, and now who was going to present the business plan for Cloaks 'R' Us? Certainly wasn't going to be [expletive deleted] me.

ChaosOmega,

It is now

Day 4

.

With 8 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

Deadline is August 4th, at 8:00pm EST (site time).

Spoiler: Abridged Ability Glossary

• Cop (Targeted):
  Choose another player. You will receive back a report of “Mafia” or “Not Mafia”. You are guaranteed sane; however, other abilities may modify the result of the report.
• Forensic Accountant (Targeted):
  Choose another player who has died. You will learn every auction that that player won, if any.
• Night-kill (Targeted):
  Choose another player. That player will die unless protected.
• Peace Treaty (Targeted):
  This ability cannot be roleblocked. You are treated as targeting every other player. You will perform a roleblock on all Night-kill activations that target anyone *except for you*. However, any Night-kill that targets *you* will work regardless of any other abilities (that is, you cannot be protected and Night-kills on you cannot be roleblocked).
• Roleblocker (Targeted):
  Choose another player. All of their Targeted abilities that they activated for that night, except for roleblocks, will fail. Personal abilities will continue to work. Abilities that were not activated are not affected. If the Targeted ability would return a result, it will instead return “Ability failed”.
• Wage Freeze (Day):
  The length of this Day, for the purposes of determining Efficiency Bonuses, only counts the time up to the activation of this ability, instead of the entire Day. This will be announced in-thread.

[Ethos]

Mass claim, now.

No one bid on anything.

[Magua]

Rules Modification

Previously, when a bid was placed, I would inform the bidder of the current winning bid after theirs was placed. Using this, it was possible to narrow down time windows in which counter-bids could or could not have been placed.

This is not a desired outcome of the system.

Moving forward, I will only inform the bidder if they did or did not beat the maximum bid

as of the last vote count.

I will not include any information that has occurred since then. When the next vote count comes about, all relevant bidders will receive updated PMs.

tl;dr: All bid PMs I respond to will be processed as if they were the only bid PMs received, until the next vote count has occurred.

If this is confusing or you have any questions, PM me.

[Ethos]

You know what? I will start if off.

I got outbid on Gravedigger as the day ended.

We've got a fucking sneak who wanted the powers that scum had.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

In other words,

Vote: VoidedMafia

[GreyICE]

Interesting conclusion LLD. Why voided?

Also sexy claim

We gave Voided the power to end the day yesterday. He would know EXACTLY when to outbid me.

I received the notification of being outbid as the day closed.

[HellloooNewman]

I am an entrepreneur.

Also, I used medium on Chaos so I have a QT with him for today.

[GreyICE]

Could have easily been me or Ethos by the same logic, and Hiphop's on invisible.

Give me something better than that.

Damn I kind of wish it was PeregrineV so we could see if he stole some of the crap yesterday as a middle finger.

It could have been Ethos?

My vote is operating on the conclusion that only Voided could have done it.

[GreyICE]

Could have been anyone on at about that time. Fuck, could have been a last middle finger from PeregrineV.

What's your read on Voided and RedCoyote? What about their play (not numbers) makes you think that Voided is scum?

[GreyICE]

Who won the bulletproof btw? They should get peace treaty.

[HellloooNewman]

I asked Chaos what abilities he has/had when he died. I also asked if he ninja'ed any votes at the end of the day.

LLD - Any reason why you danced around claiming?

I never danced around claiming, I've been providing info as I go.

[HellloooNewman]

Alright, allow me to rephrase.

Any reason why you didn't claim when asked? And still haven't claimed?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I have claimed everything asked so far. >.>
