[Advanced] Catching Fire mafia - Game over!

[Verbal32]

Blah.

[hazelkrs1]

Double scene time again!

 

---

 

Hickory Dickory Dock.

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one

Down the mouse run

Hickory Tickory Tock.

 

...

 

Tick Tock.

 

Wiress gazed up at the blue sky, smiling and singing softly to herself. Waves crashed upon the shore as she carefully cleaned the wire for Beetee. It was strange that she was able to feel so... at ease, so comfortable here with her group of friends. Once Katniss had figured out what Wiress was trying to tell her, it allowed her to feel special to the group. She knew that she had contributed, even tho slowly but surely her mental state had started deteriorating long ago. This knowledge had brought her great relief, and let her escape the lingering nightmares from her first Hunger Games.

 

Continuing to clean the copper wire, Wiress began contemplating the chances of everyone left surviving. She knew it would be so difficult to leave without any one of them, and she didn't need new faces to haunt her in her dreams. At the end of the day though, Wiress still knew the grim truth. Every one of them had to sacrifice themselves if need be, in order to save Katniss. She was the MockingJay, and she was too important for what was going on outside of the Capitol.

 

The thought flitted from her head in a sudden whisper of wind. Everything suddenly seemed to darken somewhat around her. A chill went up her spine, because at that moment Wiress felt the urge to frown, only something felt wrong. She tried to inhale, but instead of air she felt a warm liquid fill her lungs instead. Realizing it was the same warm liquid that had begun to flow down her chest a moment ago, Wiress finally started to raise a hand to her throat.

 

Sickeningly she was able to feel her lifeforce pumping out in increasingly slower pulses. Each beat came out softer and weaker than the last, and she closed her eyes as she lost herself in its rhythm.

 

Tick Tock.

 

Amegakure, Wiress, Town Oracle, has been killed.

 

---

 

Slowly drawing the knife away from his victim's throat, Gloss stopped to wipe it clean on his victim's clothes. He then let the woman from District 3 slump down into the water, looking up to see if he could taunt Katniss with her friend's death before the other Careers could attack.

 

Unfortunately, in his mind is where that thought stopped, for an arrow was now suddenly protruding from his chest. Off in the distance, Katniss lowered her bow slightly and closed her eyes and mouthed the word "goodbye". Somehow Gloss knew that wasn't for him. His eyes glossed ( ) over then, and his stiff form fell over in death. It was all over for him before he even knew it began.

 

Verbal - Gloss, Career Voyeur, has been lynched

[nervositee]

His eyes glossed ( ) over then, and his stiff form fell over in death.

 

 

 

Oooooooh see what you did there!

[Xthrax]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to get to the rest. Some important stuff came up. I'm still on my mobile, I'll post when I'm back.

[michellem]

It is now Night 3. You will have until midnight tomorrow (approx 30 hours from now) to get actions in.

[Krakalakachkn]

Verbal - Career Voyeur

 

 

Lol

 

 

That's about right.

[Verbal32]

;-)

[Hallia]

I see what you did there.

[Songstress]

 

Verbal - Career Voyeur

 

 

Lol

 

 

That's about right.

 

 

*snerks hard*

[Lenlo]

Awww I wanted to vote Verb.

[BFG]

Christ, you've done really well!

 

Sorry for my inactivity since subbing in, It's difficult to post from work (especially since at the moment there are 3 other people working in our office) and we decided fairly last minute to go to a salsa club last Night. Will hopefully get through Day 1 today and finish Day 2 & 3 tomorrow as they seem to be a lot shorter.

[BFG]

Sample role PM:

 

 

Welcome to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire mafia!

 

You are Mish, from District 42

 

You are this really cool role, and here is the conditions and workings of your role

 

You are town/mafia, and this is your win condition

 

Here is the thread:

Here is the QT if you get one:

 

Please pay special attention to the rules, and the scene opening the game; this scene contains vital information.

 

Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favour!

 

 

 

Do not try and use PM matching is a tactic. See rule #3.

 

 

 

don't forget your towel

 

Well, let's have a good Time!

 

:groan:

 

 

Think we can play this whole game with amusing pictures?

 

 

Then I think we will all be mod-killed 

 

Reads so far:

 

Everyone -> Null.

 

think you're reaching a bit here

[michellem]

I need to host a Hitchhaikers mafia sometime. Has it been done before, anyone remember?

 

Everyone will get towels and babelfishes.

[BFG]

Ok, I'm going through this aware that Dice and Verb flipped mafia. Vos has claimed tracker, TG and Lenlo have claimed masons and Darthe is more or less clear after Verbs flip.

[Lenlo]

I need to host a Hitchhaikers mafia sometime. Has it been done before, anyone remember?

 

Everyone will get towels and babelfishes.

Dont think it has. Also I demand role number 42!

[BFG]

I'll take all 42 spots

 

And the dead thread would have to be called the restaurant at the end of the universe...

[BFG]

Gah, ninjaed

[BFG]

A bell tolls, nine times. Three screams can be heard right after.

 

So players probably chosen at random. Pral claims he was affected, and he hadn't checked in yet

 

I feel like I need to watch the movie right now!

 

Agreed

 

Strong town lean on Vos

 

Agree

 

 

Only 120?

 

Some people are being lazy.

Clever 

 

I could've sworn one of the wedges was semi ok

 

Siding with Dice

 

i agree with len tho I could see darthe doing this and counting on noone to believe him. May also be a way to fulfill a jester role perhaps? I may be thinking the wrong role.

 

theree is a part of me tempted to lynch him just so this doesn't get pulled again in future

 

Ugh, proposing policy lynch but not voting

 

The only thing that I can see from someone claiming this early is to hope for a null reaction, because thats what they know they will get. I don't see why town would be so sure to get a null reaction though.

Why would mafia be so certain?

Indeed but why would mafia?  High risk high reward is cool to play on occasion but it's not enough incentive when one could win this game without speaking atm or one could play a ton of other ways that are less risk with high rewards still.  It is quite a quandary.

 

 

Ninja'd (by a few days)

 

Small mercy that I haven't missed much

But sucks that is so quiet

 

As for the Darthe claim

Hopefully now it will show people that claiming town means basically nothing.

 

The clock thing

There are only 16 of us. So far we have had no, 3, and 2 screams right?

So that means we aren't distributed equally and [v]it is possible there is no one in a sector at all[/b].

It is also possible that we may not be told if we are in a targeted sector. I'm thinking that most of the punishments will be like a null vote, or silencing (you'd be told for that one), or even just give you the potential to hit a trigger if you post something specific during your "hour"

 

This is all conjecture at this point however. I don't believe I was effected at all, but I was away yesterday and today basically.

 

This seems unnecessarily cautious. You've just stated that there was a sector with no screams, which implies that there are sectors with no one in them.

 

Alright, I was affected when the bell tolled 9. I became lynchproof for 24 hours.

 

I disagree with Len that everyone should come up and tell what happened to them. Players can make their own judgement call on whether to reveal based on the ability and go ahead with it. In my case, it is better that the town knows that some people may get the lynchproof ability and act accordingly.

 

That said, I think Darthe had got a similar ability which could be the reason why he claimed what he said.

 

So what did you think this meant for Darthes alignment?

 

Um, if anybody ever thought claiming town carried any weight, they need to sign up for remedial mafia lessons.

Can I sign up please :)

[nervositee]

Ok, need some thoughts here. I assumed my read would clear Darthe because I assumed Verb was the roleblocker (I was roleblocked N1 but not N2), and that he blocked Darthe and NKed Amega. However Verb flipped Voyeur, which is a weak investigative role to learn more about which PRs is in the game, as I understand it. 

 

Now, with Verb as a scum voyeur, would he target a town player or a scum team member?

Town. If they thought you were watching they wouldn't have had Verb submit the kill, from skimming Verb didn't seem to be getting much heat, so no reason to think he'd be watched. The fact that he visited 2 people means they can use NA and submit the kill and don't have to choose.

 

I am wondering why you weren't blocked, maybe it's not a RB but a JOAT or something instead?

[BFG]

 

 

Hi TG!!

 

so do we  assume Len, Rhea Darthe Pray Csarmi Xthrax and I were not caught in the sector as none of us have said what the effect was?

 

Im trying to remember the movie. Wasn't there a safe time however brief? was that 9-10?

 

How did you come up with that list of people?

 

 

 

They were the people that posted between the tolling and my post

 

 

I see that now. Thanks for responding. :)

 

 

Semi pointless as Rhea subbed out, but worth pointing out. If you went back and checked then why didn't you ask about Monk?

I disagree very much with this. Think about it, its only for twenty-four hours. What happens after that?

 

Also, why would you claim that if you are town, even if you are lynchproof? If you aren't mafia, you are purposely misleading town by claiming that.

 

I really don't see why a townie would claim scum. It's just I don't see why a mafioso would do it either.

 

 

Skimming

 

 

 

catching up

 

Liking your avatar

 

 

You don't F*** with Francis Underwood.

 

Who

 

 

@Salami:  you are the one confusing things here.  A null tell means you can't gain a tell from the post(s) in question.  There is no lean towards town or scum in a null tell.  End of.

 

Which is what Csarmi was saying.

 

Dear god.

 

 

I'm half expecting Graendal's Favorite to jump into the mix.

 

This feels like genuine frustration.

 

Abit premature, but reads:

 

Town: Krak, Lenlo, dice, pral, time, tg

Scum: Darthe, csarmi (but only one of them)

Null: rhea, verb, amega

 

This is almost purely gut-feel tone-driven, but it gives a good basis of who has acted how. For me at least. I think either darthe or csarmi is scum because this whole pile of steaming poop is just too bloody quaint for scum to be town-town. If it is you deserve equal amounts of head-smacking.

 

Ok, there were 4 people missing on the list and I found it hard to remember who they were.

Interesting. I'm reading up and I've got scum leans on Dice & Lenlo. Going back and forth on Darthe.

 

What makes you lean town on Dice in particular?

 

You wanna elaborate abit on this? Cause these are out of nowhere, especially considering the past 5 or so pages are mostly you.

 

 

Seems defensive

 

dude do you ever NOT have a scum read on me?

 

Lol

 

 

 

 

• Dap: I liked that he started by asking out the CS/Hally buddying, I didn't like his post middle-game post middle game "small mercy i haven't missed much but sucks to be so quiet" <-- that sounds bad.. mixed
• Vos: i liked the carefree way he started the game, his general tone... he answered my question about why he not assume me derailing just fine, townish
• Hally: absolutely nothing except for some speculation about jester and some buddying here and there (and also claiming the LP)... null
• Monk: "is excited" at start, not much afterwards but he makes sense and that's weird from him... will watch closely
• Len: seems less relaxed as usual, fishes for actions (bad), nudge at csarmi (when Darthe asks about why I don't vote him) "perhaps to see if others were to commit?" but no vote

  "He can blame you for it because it was a completely random. artificial direction created by you. If you hadnt made such an outrageous weird claim then we would be in a completely different situation. Personally I dont care we have picked up and im glad for it. " <-- that actually makes sense on second read but something feels off

  Leaning scum, but slightly... too much speculation and some playing both sides make me edgy

• Rhea: she looks alright, didn't add much, but I like how she asked Dice about how he got to his speculation A8bout who wasn't affected). wouldn't say I can read her at this time, but leaning town

 

 

I find it odd that you're able to pick up on something being "weird" when the guy has about 100 posts in his entire DM career.

 

 

White knighting or defending?

 

(there were lots of reads based on only a little information, so why pick out Monks?)

 

 

 

Wait, so you're watching me because I make sense? How is me making sense alignment indicative at all?

 

 

Yeah, I found that scummy too 

No, wait... 

 

I dont understand this; sorry if it means nothing.

 

 

This feels genuine, tempted to say Verb was budding.

 

No...i will sleep and then post! Don't even ask! LOL

#DrunkMafiaTM

[BFG]

Back in a few hours, will summarise at the end

[michellem]

The bell tolls ten times. A single scream can be heard.

[BFG]

 

 

I don't like the point of Darthe's "may claim mafia" post. He claimed it as a high-risk maneuver but I disagree. It falls into the category of so-obvious-he-cannot-be-mafia and which seems to be exactly what he is aiming at.

 

Looking back at his posts this seems strange. He starts off with this, out of nowhere. All because vos said that he finds everybody null?

 

 

Strong town lean on Vos

 

Then his next post where he misleads

 

 

I would like to hard claim mafia and see what all of you do.

 

This claim may or may not be accurate and has no more weight than a claim of town, but let us postulate on what affect it has to make a legitimate null claim with a negative stigma associated with it rather than a positive.

 

Shall we?

 

And, the first person to vote him is 

 

 

Double-meh

 

##Vote Darthe

 

 

I have a feeling that it is a distancing act set up by Darthe and vos. Also, don;t think it is a coincidence that they had a connection earlier, 

 

Csarmi feels town as he has been forthcoming with his effects, especially the Double Vote, which could be a very important effect on the deadline day. Also, getting a town vibe from verbal, especially during the darthe-csarmi debate.

 

Scum: Darthe, Vos

Null/Need to see more: Rhea, Amega, Xthrax, Monk,  Dap, Krak, Time, TG, Dice, Hallia, Lenlo

Town: Csarmi, Verbal

 

##vote Darthe

 

This seems a strange thing to base a case on. Darthe frequently gives an early read on someone. (Ninjaed on this by Csarmi)

 

One more thing that I noticed Csarmi, you said that you dislike Verbal nudging your scummyness. What do you mean? Are you stating that his nudging hit a mark and his nudging was to something thats there?

 

Potentially interesting given Verbs flip

This is a weird comment - are you expecting Salami to just admit that I was "on to something" with a response to this?

 

 

Worth noting

 

@verb yes yes there is. :)

 

:groan:

 

Now we have only to wait for the quiet people to pop in and pile onto someone before the deadline.

 

Very relaxed for someone voting s claimed watcher.

 

But... its D1. There hasnt been a night yet. How did you track anything?

 

Ok, missed it...

 

#unvote vote dice

 

This seems a little strange. Few posts ago, Vos was one of your top 2 mafia reads. Now you believe him with no question and vote a claimed tracker? I know there's little sense in mafia counterclaiming in that situation, but it seems strange that there's no comment.

 

Official vote count

 

Dice (8): Csarmi, Vos, Len, TG, Pral, Hallia, Verb

Csarmi (2): Krak, Amega

Darthe (1): Dice

 

Not voting:  Darthe,  Xthrax, Monk, Dap, Time,  Rhea.

 

With 16 alive, it takes 9 to lynch.

 

A deadline is now in effect http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20140306T0001&p0=1375&msg=End+of+Day+1

 

 

##UNVOTE VOTE DICE

Lol, Darthe not paying attention. 

 

For easy reference - The bell:

• 9 times, 3 screams right after, lynchproof (Pray, Rhea, Hally)
• 8 times, -, unknown
• 7 times, 2 screams in the distance, no coroner (Monk) Amega
• 9 times, 2 screams, lynchproof (Csarmi, ?)
• 4 (times), 2 screams, doublevoter (Csarmi, ?)
• 6 times, -, unknown

What we seem to know:

• The bell tolls every 24 hours. (fact)
• It seems that the number of screams indicates the number of people affected (speculation)
• It seems that the same zone gives the same effect to everyone, everytime (speculation, based on the 1st and 4th toll)
• It seems that the zone gets selected with simple randomness (speculation, but the data fits a simple 1/12)
• It seems that the players affected get selected independently, with 1/12 chance (speculation, but the 3/0/2/2/2/0 fits that just fine - ofc it could fit a lot of things but this is the simplest

Speculate that there are day sectors and night sectors, double voting/lynchproof wouldn't be worth anything at night

[BFG]

Ok, so I'm going to have to call it a night. But at the moment I can only remember some of the players, I had to check the VC for Krak, X, Monk and Rhea, this makes me wary of all of them, especially since all made my notes one way or another. I'm also wary of Pral and Hallia. Pral's unexplained switch of opinion seems strange and Hallia seems to be hard core lurking.
