[Advanced] Bloodlust Mafia Game Over!

[Darthe]

Even in death she was a beauty.  It was a pity really.  Dracula held her in his arms and could not help but feel that something had been lost in the world.  He took the last drop of her blood.  Ms. Summers had been quite the woman, even getting the best of him once.  That would never happen again.  By the time the sun rose and the group found her laid against a plinth he was long gone, resting once more in the inner sanctum of his hold, waiting for night. 

 

One of the group began to wretch and another fell over, weakened suddenly.  He found a small scratch on his shoulder but could not place the one who had given it to him.

 

They were becoming desperate.

 

 

TGlems - Buffy Summers, JoaT (1 shot roleblock, 1 shot vig) has been killed by the mafia.

 

 

 

It is now Day 3!  You have 96 hours from the time of this post.

[Tyler Glembo]

Bah.  Go town.

[Tyler Glembo]

[Basel Gill]

I'm guessing from that scene that someone else has been poisoned.

[dicetosser1]

2 JOATS??  hmmm  

 

I think Rand viewed Basel but never bothered to explain

 

vote Basel

oops  stoopid dM   apologies for double post

[bgrishinko]

Vote Basel

 

I can agree with that idea.

[bgrishinko]

Vote Basel

[bgrishinko]

Can the Mod update the subject with the correct Day?

[Darthe]

The fall was the best thing that had ever happened to him.  It was as if he had been in a dream, as if his life had been taken away by some mad group.  But it was not so.  Within moments the truth became clear to him, his life to this point had been a sham.  He could remember it all, everything was clear.  Cracking a smile the man ran to rejoin the group and take down those vampire bastards once and for all.

 

Dear lord, he had a headache.

[bgrishinko]

And by the way, I've been poisoned apparently... so there's that. Probably won't make it much past today. I'll let you guys know what I know before the day is through.

[Myndrunner]

2 JOATS??  hmmm

vote Basel

Why do you believe this?  I did not read anything that Rand even implied as such!

 

And by the way, I've been poisoned apparently... so there's that. Probably won't make it much past today. I'll let you guys know what I know before the day is through.

Interesting that you are so quick to vote without hearing from anyone else.  Why are you so easily convinced of this lynch on Basel?

 

I deplore a speed lynch that occurs moments after a phase turn.  I smell a panic among the scum!  Do you smell their fear?

[John E. Kelley]

Going to keep going back to this until you all see reason.

 

Vote JLM.

[Myndrunner]

I am inclined to vote with my mason partner....and I will.

 

vote JLM

 

However, I am indeed curious as to why Basel is suddenly a huge target?  Where did Rand point out anything regarding his alignment?

[Basel Gill]

I just got done taking a look back at JLM's posts. I think Ishy has a good point about how she was during the train on Mynd. Vote JLM.

[JenLenaMom]

I voted for Mynd before Ishy revealed they were masons. By the time I came back the lynch had already happened.

[michellem]

Well Despo is still alive, so unless time on poison is random BG, you'll probably last the day at least.

 

Funny how you suddenly showed up again JLM when you got two votes, after being quiet for so long...

Transylvania, 1464

 

The little bar was more of a shack than a real establishment.  The parchment said only to meet here and that the rest would come.  How was it that his presence here was known?  In the corner someone crooked a single finger and drew him over.  He sat, a meter from the hooded figure and was surprised by a female voice emerging across from him.  Her accent was thick.

 

"It is said that men are the top of the food chain, the leaders of the world.  They always have been.  God willed it to be so.  But what if I told you that there was a monster out there, one who served no God but his own hunger?  

 

"Ah, I can see it in your eyes.  You have heard of him, no?  Yes, I thought you might.  He creeps through the night, preying on those unsuspecting fools who dare roam his domain.  His name is known from London to Asia.  You may not believe the legends involving our Count but I tell you now he is the Vampiir.  We have no hope except in the afterlife, had none at least, until you showed up; your name almost as much a legend as his own.  So, what says you?  Will you help us fight, or will you run and perish like the others?"

 

Her own eyes caught a glimmer in the light, glowed with the feverish desire to see this through.  He knew his answer.

 

"I would be honored my lady."

 

"Thank you, Van Helsing."

Castle Dracul, 2012

 

 

"You know," he leaned over the bar to grab a scotch, "it has been over half a millennia since I told that old gypsy woman that I would help her.  I have learned much since then.  I'll show you if you follow me." His head jerked towards a more private corner, grin shedding light on his meaning.

 

"Well, that is very fascinating Mr. Helsing but I only come to this freak show to  kill Dracula.  Nothing else matters."  Her voice held a definite chill.  She took her drink and waltzed away.

 

A dark skinned man sauntered over, his head shaved and dressed mostly in leather.  Van knew him on sight, the famous hunter of his own species.

 

"Man she burnt you!" He chuckled.  "What an ass though, am I right?"

 

"Indeed you are, Mr.. Brooks is it?"

 

"People call me Blade, let's not get into it.  What do you think of the locale?"  Each took a sip and looked around.  The most famous hunters in the world stood there.  Each wanted the legendary Vlad the Impaler, malicious even before his deal with Satan, on a stake.  Their was glory and fame in such a kill and the count had been most welcoming so far.  They stood in his castle, drank his liqueur and ate his food at his invitation.  Of course it was a trap and nonetheless all had come.  After all, they needed to know his plans if they were to kill him.

 

To Van Helsing's eyes Dracula was too confident by half.

He scrambled down the halls, ragged breath visible in the cold.  The group had been split, all four of them separated and chased down.  As he made it back to the main chamber he saw that two of the others were there.  Where was the good Doctor though?  The group shouted at him, pulled his arm and shook him.  Where was Doctor Frankenstein?  Where was he?  No one knew.  He told them, when the Vampires attacked them he thought the doctor got away clean.  If anything, it had appeared that the one bitten was... no that couldn't be right, there he stood, seemingly well.  It was chaos.

 

 He needed a drink.  When someone handed him a bourbon he realized that he had said so aloud.  He drank a sip.  Poison.  Too late he realized.  It was too late.  He could not even tell who had passed him the glass.  This had been a dreadful night.

 

Twenty minutes later the shell of Doctor Frankenstein's body was found slumped in a nearby hallway, drained of all blood.

Jonathan Harker strove to be more, to be the best of them all.  He had been one of the first to discover Dracula's cruel secret.  Yet the group turned on him.  Suspicions could make the best of men into something they were not, a fact he knew all too well.  His words would not appease them and within moments he was lifted and thrown off one of the many opulent balconies of Castle Dracul.

Dear lord, he had a headache.

The first bolded section is from Night 1 scene. The person who appeared to be bitten but was fine would seem to be Despo. He was very unhappy when Kae mentioned the possibility of the "poison" being the mechanism for recruiting. It is now day 3 and as far as we can tell he is still alive. I hope there is someone with a view that can check his claim.

 

The second bolded section is from Night 2 scene. The one with the scratch is apparently BG. That the mechanism is different I don't know if that has any significance but it is a concern. If you may die today then please pass along any information you may have.

 

Just finished my reread for the day and these are some of my thoughts:

 

I don't believe that Rand used his view before he died. I believe there is fair reason to vote Basel without it. He has budddied up to me quite a bit. Repeating my words even to the point of questioning Mynd on his ongoing misinfomation campaign. He has seemed to me from the start trying to appear obviously town which leads me to believe he may indeed be hiding something.

 

Cosmic I became more suspicious of as I read for his attempt to explain away and difuse situations. I am not explaining this right but it came across as a bunch of "lawyer talk". I'll have to come back to this.

 

LZM, why hasn't he been replaced? he has contributed nothing so far this game. in every game I have seen him be mafia he has been very lurky.

 

JLM, didn't like the defending then trying to say it wasn't defending D1 then the vote on Mynd when most had moved on. The attempted justification of a consolidation vote doesn't sit well either. 

 

Mynd and Ishy, the scummiest mason team ever, if they are. most of their posts were misinformation in Mynd's case and calling people scummy in one manner or another in Ishy's case with little evidence to support the charges.

 

BG, I'm gonna guess he had a one time view like rand and used it on one of the two. That seems to make the most sense. This is a total guess on my part but I am of the opinion that the main characters (slayers) are going to be JoaTs and the support (sidekicks) are going to be vanilla. If I am corect then BG is town and then the masons are too.

 

Kae, really didn't like that she failed to put a vote out before going away for the weekend. Some of her other interactions re the Mynd issue were troubling to me also.

 

Kaylee, She also followed after me a bit which makes me nervous.

 

Lenlo, I have nothing on him other than the late votes on Mynd and then on Rand. Both "consolidation" votes??? dunno

 

Dice, Nothing original that I can recall.

 

Cloud, Has pinged a bit with the whole asking for information which IMO would have required a claim from any investigators available. It would be truly hilarious if the masons framed a guilty man.

 

Mish,  I never bought the defending a temmate thing. I don't know Mish as well as some on here but I have seen a certain sense of right and wrong that drives her. Having said that I am going to say that the early bashing has left me blind in regard to her.

 

some thoughts are more than others. some are just feelings. My current guess for mafia is:

 

LZM

JLM

Basel

Kae

 

with the possible inclusion of the "poisoned" BG and Despo. I do have a question for the both of you, was there anything in your PM that would indicate that you were "at risk" of recruitment?(that is a paraphrase)

 

right now I am going to vote LZM because I am guessing he must be more active on his QT than in thread or he would have been replaced by now.

 

Dang that was a long post. I think I gave myself a headache.

[michellem]

The thing with the flavor in scenes are troubling, but it might also be just flavor. In the Hobbit game a poisoned person stayed alive for two days and two nights; so I guess it differs how fast posion works.

[Turin Turambar]

There are mechanism for random length of time for poisoned peoples to stay alive. As simple as a RNG determining how long they get to live. As I have stated before I am fairly certain there is recruiting in the game. For there to be a normal kill plus poison kills plus recruiting would mean we were nearly at lylo unless there was only one mafia(dracula) to start. It doesn't add up to me.

 

A little bit of Darthe MOD meta but he really likes his scenes and they usually have meaning.

[Kaylee]

Ishy what do you mean by feeling more confident about Turin? Personally I also don't get where Mynd got that from, I couldn't find it either. 

 

I also see the points made against Rand. 

Turin, if you're referring to this^ , that was me being genuinely curious about it. I had tried to find it but was unsuccessful.

[hazelkrs1]

Nothing in the pm I got indicated that I was at risk for recruitment. It simply told me I had been poisoned. And the reason I didn't like Kae throwing out conjecture about my poisoning was that it was premature; yes, recruitment could easily be a part of a vampire game, but there was no reason for her to talk about that kind of eventuality, unless of course she had inside info and was trying to act oblivious.

 

Now, since I am obviously not dead yet, there is nothing wrong with others wondering about my alignment and whether or not I was recruited. If someone else had been poisoned but was alive two phases later, I would be wondering the same thing. But I have gotten no indication that my alignment has changed from what it was at the start of the game, and that is town. Feel free to view me if you want. I do have to offer tho, that if for some reason I WAS at risk of recruitment by being poisoned, and knew it, then there would be no reason to publicly announce that I had been poisoned. Conversely, if a mechanic in the game made it so that someone was poisoned would eventually be turned to a vamp without them knowing or something, then this mechanic would be defeated somewhat by the fact that people told they were poisoned would tend to believe they would soon die and would announce it to the thread, thus earning the attention of town. So basically, I have not been recruited that I know about, and I highly doubt a mechanic exists that would set me up to be recruited without me knowing, as any new recruits would already be under considerable heat.

 

I would guess that the poison either takes longer to act than in other games or something, or that perhaps for some reason my particular character has some sort of resistance to the poison? That last bit is complete conjecture, but the flavor in the scene does seem to support it.

[hazelkrs1]

Oh and I do agree that Darthe will usually put flavor in his scenes for a reason. And LZM def needs to be replaced. Honestly, I hate to say this, but I really wish he didn't sign up for games when he rarely contributes anything of note. Cool name and everything, but occassional drunken ramblings =/= actual mafia gameplay.

 

Vote Kae.

 

Firstly, no matter how the situation boiled out, her throwing out the premature conjecture bothers me. Furthermore, her trying to label my distrust of her in this game as "trolling" bothers me as well, regardless of how often she feels I suspect her, I have never done anything to indicate that I have anything personal against her, and I think she just wants to use the whole "thing" between us as a way of deflecting my attention.
