DPR Mafia - The Dark Monocle - Game Thread

[John E. Kelley]

Christine has been making a lot of outlandish and basically useless fluff statements this whole game. And I'm sure I can hear cogs whirling and turning inside her when she walks.

 

Pot. Meet. Kettle.

May they live in interesting times.

 

That sounds like it could be a curse or a blessing....

[John McClane]

Just arrived in Austin. Going to be a great week.

 

This is like the 3rd or 4th time I have nailed Nolder when he's scum, lol. Poor guy.

[John McClane]

Gotta look at the late votes on Nolderp, like Sakea, and then at Crusher. Nolder started getting heat and he offered up a poop case on Crusher, felt like distancing.

 

Kill Crusher next.

Based on what? Nolder panicked and felt voting his team mate would surely allow me to skate to end game. LOL

 

 

Your a dumb monkey.

Nothing dumb about wanting to eliminate the wifom Nolder created by singling you out.

 

You should know that.

I am just saying, it seems as though these Night Phases last forever. It takes two seconds to type out a PM to DPR. Why are people waiting till the last moment to get it in? No one is going to really talk during the Night phase. It's all waiting till morning.

[keyholder21]

Awfully anxious for night to be over. It's really not that long considering it's only 24 real hours at the most.

So according to the monkey playbook we should kill the person scum votes for on their way out to eliminate the wiform? LOL

[Christine]

Anxious is a poor word. I am annoyed, that this is a DPR mafia, and some people are inactive / MIA.

[mmeeshal]

Sadly, people have RLs.

 

Also, yeah, it takes 2 seconds to type out a PM, but I know from experience that it's not always easy to decide what you want to do, exactly. Like when you're a finder and you have 3 huge suspicions but you don't think they're necessarily connected so you can't just kill 3 birds with one stone. So who do you view? You want to get it right, if one or more of the three happens to be mafia.

 

tl;dr version: chill.

When your enemy offers you two targets, strike at a third. In other words, view someone you don't suspect. Clears can be very important sometimes and you are bound to catch some low lying scum this way.

 

As Kivam would say, "find from the bottom, lynch from the top."

No, I am not.

Well, I brought that up mostly just as an example, but I actually really appreciate the advice and I think it's pretty solid. I haven't been finder very often in my fairly long mafia career (I can count on one hand the number of times, I think), so I haven't really figured out good techniques that work across most games. I don't sit around and think about mafia roles and how to play them; that seems crazy to me.

 

But yeah. Thanks! It was something that had never occurred to me before. Should I ever have the fortune to be given a finder role again, I'll keep that in mind.

lol. You think this based on what knowledge?

[DPR]

A scream comes from above you, and you look to see a body falling from the sky...it is flailing its arms and legs...the scream gets louder as the body gets closer and you can see that it is a man now...the sound of his scream is pure agony and terror...you unconsciously step back, unable to take your eyes from the the spectacle...

WHOOMP

The body lay still across the sidewalk. It is disfigured form the fall, but you can still make out the face of aemon.

AEMON, TOWN CPR DOC, HAS BEEN KILLED.

You shudder, the full gravity of what just happened slowly falls over you.

***

Meanwhile, across town...

***

Another automaton sparks to life as its retinal dialator shrinks to focus. It stands, its purpose feeding into the mechanism that it uses as a brain. It takes its first stride forward...and a blade flashes, neatly separating its head from its mechanical body. The blade is sheathed before the head hits the ground. By the time the body falls forward, the shadow that wields the blade is long gone.

HOOF, TOWN WATCHER CONVERTED TO MAFIA AUTOMATON, IS DEAD.

***

Back at the station...

***

"He was a good man!"

No one could deny it. Aemon was well liked and was beginning to make sense out of the confusion. Maybe a little too much sense.

The din has quited, but then another man curses, flailing at a hooded figure racing away.

"Damned fool! What are you about?!" He calls after the figure, but cannot catch them. He is sodden in what smells like turpentine.

"Stay away from your pipe tonight, lad - you don't want to drop your match!"

[DPR]

It is now day. With 19 alive, it takes 10 to lynch.

[John E. Kelley]

Vote the English Lady.

[mmeeshal]

Score!

 

Well, not Aemon, obviously. Although I actually had him pegged as scum. Tells you what my radar's like this game. XD

 

But yeah! Hoof!

[JenLenaMom]

From the scene I would say Hoof was just converted tonight. But that's just the way I'm reading the scene.

Huh, that's a good point. I skimmed that bit of flavor, but it makes sense. Guess we got lucky then....

[John E. Kelley]

And someone was doused in turpentine and told to stay away from flames. Again, I think we have an arsonist floating around. Luckily, it seems he was chased off two nights in a row.
