OMG Mafia
O.M.G. Mafia: Oracles, Maniacs (Cultists), and Good fellas (Mafias).
Night 4: Party!
Day 4: The stage is set up nicely to hang annikalee, taking out our pent up frustrations on her. But as the day wore on, the vote seems to have shifted "in favor", as it were, of Moirethe. *sigh* Not wanting to re-rig the gear, the "Commisioner" (hereafter referred to as “me” or “I”) wanders nonchalantly in to the crowd, grabs annikalee by the elbow, and starts to frog-march her up to the stage. However, the crowd protests grievously, and we eventually resolve that it must be Moirethe that's causing all our strife. Resigned, I release annikalee and start dragging Moirethe forward. On our way through the crowd, Moirethe struggling against me, we bump into awm, who falls to the ground, eyes rolling backward, and starts intoning information in a sing-song voice:
anti was the Body Guard's Side-Kick, and died having never had an opportunity for night action.
louiemctool is the Forensic Expert Understudy, and didn't share what he found out with the group.
csmaccath is the Vigilante, and killed both Granf and dustybunny.
dustybunny was the Cult Leader, and inducted three people, although only annikalee remains alive.
Granf was the Oracle Acolyte, and died on night one... again.
annikalee is the Body Guard, and successfully protected soprano and louiemctool from death, but was unable to protect herself from induction to the cult.
awm is the Oracle, and discovered the true nature of csmaccath, louiemctool, and dustybunny.
soprano was the Forensic Expert, and attempted to inspect the true nature of MaskedJedi, saw him to be a plain Vanilla Townie, but was lynched the following day before being able to tell
anyone.
MaskedJedi was the Godfather, and gave a kill order on soprano for night one, which was thwarted, but he was lynched the following day.
Moirethe is (soon was) the Mafia Don, and gave a kill order on louiemctool for night two, which was thwarted, but finally succeeded with a kill order on anti.
masokist is the Martyr-Warlock, who watched as the killer stalked anti, but did not react in time to do anything about it.
awn then slumps to the ground and slowly recovers as we all look at him in shocked silence. When he stands up, he looks around sheepishly before leaning over to as masokist what happened, but she says she'll tell him later. The odd event over, we get on again with the normal business of the daily lynching. We string her up, snap her down, wiggle her free, stuff her in, and stick her under. The grizzly work of the day being concluded, we spend the night partying, everyone agreeing that a quiet town is probably not a safe one.
The End!
Night 3: Nobody slept all the way through the night, and some didn't even get to sleep, being awake when they were shot dead. Speaking of which, the morning pod cast declares two very similar but apparently unrelated deaths today; anti was shot dead in her sleep and dustybunny was shot dead in his den. As usual, the authorities ask that anyone with information about these crimes come forward and explain what they know...
Day 3: Après beaucoup de discussion philosophique à la nature du Français, de l'accusation, etc., nous décidons que le soprano doit être la racine de tout le mal et le tuer mort, mort, mort. (special thanks to translation2.paralink.com) (sorry for the short scene).
Night 2: Night Two was as surprising as night one, but more for its lack of murder! Everyone wakes up and prepares their favorite morning drinks, but many wishing they this was the first time they'd been awakened since going to bed. Those were gunshots last night, right? The "Commissioner's Morning Pod Cast" contains no descriptions of dire murder scenes, but does ask any citizens with knowledge of whom the rabble-rousers shooting firearms were that they call in to the 1-800-OMG-BLOG hotline to report it. Also, this is Clean-Your-Yard weekend, so place any large bags of leaves, grass, or properly shredded clown gear street side before noon for the sanitation workers to collect.
Day 2: The "Commissioner" unlocks the voting box and sorts carefully through the papers, placing them in neat piles. louiemctool raised a bit of suspicion by wearing weird cloths... yes... it's always the freaky dressers you have to watch for. masokist picked up a couple votes, but for no good reasoning anyone could discern (other than having a name that makes him sound like he'd be a lot of fun at theme parties).
With the biggest stack of votes by far, the winner of today's festivities is clearly MaskedJudi. I mean, c'mon, he IS wearing a mask, right? He he speaks French all the time, but I've never once heard him say "pardon my French". He must be crazy – a wild man on the edge, ready to take us all out at any moment for no better reason than the sky is the wrong color and his the voice in his head he calls his "bad uncle" tells him it's a good idea and he's got this weird itch that kept him up last night and...! Ok, the really weird thing he does all the time is wave his hand in a half ark at people while intoning, "These are not the druids you are looking for." What the heck is that supposed to mean?! The man has got to go!
So at dusk we drag him out, string him up, drop him down, box him in, and bury him under. 'Nuff said. Nothing to see here. Move along and enjoy night; we're still giving out free ice cream until they finish piling the dirt into the hole, then off to bed with you all.
Night 1: The first night after the grizzly death of the town crier was eventful to be sure. Shadowy figures had been observed dashing here and there, and strange noises had been heard. Few were surprised to find that someone had died in the night, but why Granf? Who did he get on the wrong side of? Whomever it was, they did a professional job of it. Everyone listens on their iPod to the Police Scanner Pod Cast to the description of the scene. He had been strangled to death with a length of piano wire from his own piano bench. We all wonder why the murderer didn't bring his/her own wire, since everyone in this town has a piano, after all. A few are surprised that there is no mention of broken glass - had we heard that right last night?! Stranger still, what is the point of leaving half a peanut butter sandwich on his chest?! It must be a sign...
Day 1: And so the first day passes. Suspicious glances are cast about, but no one calls for a lynching. There is an uncertain feeling of malaise settling on the minds of the town folk, as though some benevolent (or malevolent) spirit is fitfully trying to decide if they are wise or just lazy. A few onlookers were interested to see a familiar neighbor come back into down, claiming to have been on vacation. However, that old Irish bat is overheard muttering that "showin' up out of the blue like that makes for a convincing alibi, now just don't it? Hurumph!" No one really likes her, you know?
Introduction: Ours is a quiet town... OMG - it's too quiet! The sleepy villa wakes up a bit late, grumbling about the town crier not doing his job properly. "The little nit probably couldn't sit his liquor," grumbles the old Irish lady on the corner, who everyone just knows used to run guns for the IRA or something. Crazy old bat - not that she's alone. That nutter running the book store on Main St. claims to have Oracular powers, and most everyone figures that bum living in the box on the corner is just pretending to be destitute (and some whisper it's just a cover for some sort of Vigilante-Bat-Man thing). In fact, people have been nervous enough of late that there's a full time Body Guard and, just in case someone does kick the bucket, a full Forensics team is on standby. Yep - this town has got more ghosts, skeletons, and creepy-bump-in-the-night-stuff then a stack of Harry Potter novels. Even so, no one was prepared to see the town crier that morning, kicked, scratched, beaten, stabbed, shot, dragged, set spread eagle in the middle of the street dead, and not necessarily in that order. The "Commissioner" reports it as the worst case of suicide he's ever seen, but everyone knows it is a warning. Our town, it seems, is a bit too quiet...
Town Folk:
2. louiemctool
3. csmaccath
6. annikalee
7. awm
11. masokist
Graveyard:
5. Granf, who died on day one... again....
9. MaskedJedi, a dead |337 Ninja Jedi ex-Pirate from parts unknown.
8. soprano
1. anti, who we buried back in The Boonies.
4. dustybunny, whose quick death did not involve quick sand, much to everyone's relief.
10. Moirethe, who spoke spanish, but that's not why she had to die.

Greetings All,
We're going to be starting up OMG Mafia on Wednesday at 8:00 AM EST, at which point Day 1 will begin. As you surely know, everyone can talk and say anything they wish during the day cycle. People can claim to be the Oracle, and to therefore have special knowledge they would like to share, or someone might claim that they were told who the mafia are, etc. This boasting and cajoling is encouraged because if you are clever you can influence others to make moves beneficial to your "team".
Also, everyone gets a vote during the daytime cycle as to who they think should be lynched, and your vote is cast by posting VOTE: Bad Guy, where "Bad Guy" is the person you are voting for. You can UNVOTE and VOTE again as many times as you like. At sun down (i.e. 8:00 AM EST), the person with the most votes is lynched and night time begins.
During the night, those peeps with nighttime actions will send those actions in. People will be killed, others people saved, others will play hanky panky. In general, you should not speak about the game during the night in forum except for inconsequential conversation. Rather, if you are a cultist, mafia, or have some other night action you can take, then you communicate to appropriate team members with whispers and to me with a whisper to commit your action (if any).
At 8:00 AM EST, the day cycle begins again. Wash, rinse, repeat. The game is over when:
* Mafia Win: There are as many vanilla townies as there are Mafia.
* Cult Win: There are as many vanilla townies as there are Cultist.
* Town Win: The Mafia is wiped out.
Any questions?
emanaton on Mar 19, 2008
It's after 8:00 EST. The game is officially begun. Talk amongst yourselves, then VOTE to lynch someone before night begins at 8:00 AM Thursday. =o)
csmaccath on Mar 19, 2008
So, who do we think killed the poor town crier? Surely it must have been an EVILDOER. I think EVILDOERS are bad and must be punished, but I fear my limited experience does not predispose me to guessing who that person might be. Any ideas, fellow citizens?
dustybunny on Mar 19, 2008
It sounds to me like we have a gang that decided to kill our town crier. I'm not sure who could do all of those things without help. Or maybe it was the bum protecting us from an evil crier.
anti on Mar 19, 2008
It seems clear to me that someone wants to throw the town into confusion by removing our means of communication and then spreading mistrust and a desire for blind revenge. Let's not cast unnecessary suspicion when a little time and preparation will reveal true motives.
csmaccath on Mar 19, 2008
Indeed. We should, perhaps, wait before casting aspersions on our fellow citizens.
soprano on Mar 19, 2008
*est attendant avec impatience ce jeu de la mafia*
anti on Mar 19, 2008
Très tôt pour la confession.
louiemctool on Mar 20, 2008
Hmm. Well...
The condition of this poor soul's body seems to indicate that more than one person may have been involved, unless that one person was extraordinarily strong.
Also, an anonymous tip was received last night claiming that the crier was seen near midnight, of the night the crier died, in a heated discussion with a shadowy figure. Perhaps that mysterious individual had something to do with it?
:|
awm on Mar 20, 2008
maybe....
louiemctool on Mar 21, 2008
hmm...
:|
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
It's after 8:00 EST on Friday. Daytime has come. Wakey wakey, talk amongst yourselves, then VOTE to lynch someone before night begins at 8:00 AM Saturday. =o)
csmaccath on Mar 21, 2008
Poor Granf. He did so love peanut butter, too. But you know what they say, it's always the quiet ones...
And what WAS that noise I heard last night whilst dreaming merrily in my bed? Is everyone else all right?
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
*Sean gets the lynching ropes out, installs them carefully in the town square next to the voting box, and looks around meaningfully.*
MaskedJedi on Mar 21, 2008
But what was Granf? That is the question.
louiemctool on Mar 21, 2008
Alas, poor Granf. Such a sad ending to a brilliant life...
And a waste of fine peanut butter, as well.
:|
Moirethe
on Mar 21, 2008
And not the only question either. I KNOW I heard the sound of crashing glass last night. If it wasn't from the murder scene, then from where?
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
*Hearing MaskedJedi's question, I look around for that lazy "Forensic Expert"* I just KNOW s/he is around here somewhere!
louiemctool on Mar 21, 2008
well, i'm not one to cast suspicion, but...
somebody was seen recently cleaning some questionable material out of her wood-chipper.
just saying.
:|
masokist
on Mar 21, 2008
Spreading peanut butter on a slice of bread she looks out her window and sees louiemctool outside in the snow with a tank top on. Seeming suspicious in itself...
Vote: louiemctool
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
*Seeing that we have a vote, I laugh gleefully and start checking over all the lynching gear excitedly*
louiemctool on Mar 21, 2008
hey, i was just out for a jog! i gets hot if i wears a sweater! Honest!
vote: masokist!
:p
csmaccath on Mar 21, 2008
Sigh...yes, I confess. There WAS a great deal of questionable material in my wood chipper. You see, there was this clown last week, during the circus, remember? Well, anyway, I caught her in an..*ahem*..compromising position with one of the fire-swallowers after-hours in my back yard, and she was so mortified she quit the circus on the spot and asked me to shred her costume. Well, I didn't have anything but the wood-chipper, but I wanted to be kind, so...
Sigh...I'll probably NEVER get the pancake makeup out of the blades.
csmaccath on Mar 21, 2008
...and I think lynching is HORRIBLE! *sniff*
soprano on Mar 21, 2008
vote: MaskedJedi
just... because.
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
*Gets out his 'Making Headstones for Dummies' book and reads intently*
awm on Mar 21, 2008
maybe granf had an allergy attack-- :O (i'm allergic to peanuts 2).
awm on Mar 21, 2008
vote: maskedjedi
he speaks french. that's why,
soprano on Mar 21, 2008
Je parle français…
emanaton on Mar 21, 2008
*Eyes the sizing of the noose suspicoiusly, measures MaskedJedi's neck, and makes the proper adjustments*
annikalee on Mar 21, 2008
I'm pretty sure I hear and saw something last night. Maybe I shouldn't have had that second coffee...
vote: MaskedJedi
dustybunny on Mar 22, 2008
VOTE: MaskedJedi
louiemctool on Mar 22, 2008
wow. this be a true lynching, methinks...
:|
Moirethe
on Mar 22, 2008
indeed....so just to be different....
VOTE: Masokist
emanaton on Mar 22, 2008
It's 8:00 EST an Saturday; Night time has come. Sleep at your own peril and send in your night actions.
awm on Mar 22, 2008
didn't maskedjedi die in the really early rounds last mafia too?
emanaton on Mar 22, 2008
... I think he needs to go back to Jedi school... Of course, if he keeps comming back, perhaps that speaks to a just how advanced a Jedi he really is!!
Moirethe
on Mar 22, 2008
So then the force is with him after all???
louiemctool on Mar 22, 2008
i would say not. otherwise, he coulda levitated and survived the lynching...
:p
annikalee on Mar 23, 2008
maybe he decided to die like Darth Vader. We should have burned his body not buried it!
annikalee on Mar 23, 2008
no one died? interesting.... though i do remember the gun shots
soprano on Mar 23, 2008
VOTE: awm
Uhm… why not?
annikalee on Mar 23, 2008
vote: awm
i have no leads, so i follow the pact
awm on Mar 23, 2008
vote: soprano
csmaccath on Mar 23, 2008
I cannot allow Soprano to so viciously attack our good townsfolk without provocation.
VOTE: Soprano
Moirethe
on Mar 23, 2008
I prefer the alto clef (having played the viola) to the soprano myself, so...
VOTE: soprano
dustybunny on Mar 23, 2008
vote: awm
I distrust smiley things.
supertux on Mar 23, 2008
That would be a pancake person, I believe. I would vote for him too, but im not exactly playing :P
louiemctool on Mar 23, 2008
soprano seems to like having people killed far too much. i seem to remember an organization that likes doing the same...
vote: soprano
:|
awm on Mar 24, 2008
soprano died..... all people who speak french are slowly dying ;D
soprano on Mar 24, 2008
Oui, oui. C'est vrai.
annikalee on Mar 24, 2008
Oui? je suis ici et je ne suis pas mort...donc...je ne pense pas
sloan on Mar 24, 2008
oh...very nice show you have here...
supertux on Mar 24, 2008
awm, am I mistaken in saying that you too speak french, if however against your will?
:D
emanaton on Mar 25, 2008
Night 3 is over, Day 4 begins. Yay. Kill someone.
annikalee on Mar 25, 2008
vote: awm
b/c dustybunny voted for him and then died and I believe there is a connection!
soprano on Mar 25, 2008
What about me? I died.
anti on Mar 25, 2008
ouch
csmaccath on Mar 25, 2008
I do not believe that simply because DustyBunny voted for Awm, he was killed by Awm. I believe Awm has been unfairly maligned and has been a good neighbor to me these many years. I will not see a good name besmirched.
Vote: Annikalee
emanaton on Mar 25, 2008
oooooh! snappity SNAP snap!
Moirethe
on Mar 25, 2008
Didn't annikalee vote for awm last time as well? It's still too early to tell, I think, and suspicions shouldn't be cast so easily.
Vote: annikalee
annikalee on Mar 25, 2008
even if this was true. awm has threaten me saying that trying to get him lynched yesterday means I will be lynched today. So no one believes me, okay I can understand that but I still believe that awm is not the good neighbor that everyone believes him to be.
louiemctool on Mar 25, 2008
interesting.
:|
masokist
on Mar 25, 2008
I still say that jogging outside during a blizzard in Milwaukee even when you don't live in Milwaukee and neither do I but I saw you sweater or not...
Vote: LouiemcTool
:D
annikalee on Mar 25, 2008
so no one believes me then? Fine, I'll go back to watching CSI and Numb3rs instead of protecting you all! (@ emanaton: I hope i'll allowed to say that)
louiemctool on Mar 25, 2008
i will admit i question the motives of anyone who seems to actually enjoy the prospect of lynching...
it may be worth noting that unless i were to vote for myself, there is NO chance anyone besides annikalee will "win" this vote, as it stands...
:|
awm on Mar 25, 2008
protecting us all, I don't get it-- what does that mean?
csmaccath on Mar 25, 2008
It means she's claiming to be the Protector. If she's telling the truth, she's not Mafia.
csmaccath on Mar 25, 2008
All right. Here's what I think.
Awm=Oracle
LouieMcTool=Forensics Assistant
Annikalee=Protector
Masokist=Latecomer to the game, not Mafia, Not Cult Leader.
Moirethe=Mafia
I think we've got one Mafia down. I *know* we have the Cult leader down, because I killed him. (Csmaccath=Vigilante)
So, I unvote for Annikalee for lynching and vote for Moirethe (sorry, sugar). If y'all don't agree with me, then what say you and I go hunting tonight, Annikalee? You protect me, and I'll sniff out our final Mafia member.
annikalee on Mar 25, 2008
I'm cool with that csmaccath. :P
unvote: awm
vote: moirethe
awm on Mar 25, 2008
If annikalee claims to be the protector, that's cool. Really, the town has won so it doesn't matter anymore. I found out as an oracle that dustybunny was a cult leader and I know now that there can't be 2 mafia left. So.......
unvote: annikalee
vote: moriethe (sorry, but don't know anything about you).
annikalee on Mar 25, 2008
@awm: I am the protector.
awm on Mar 25, 2008
ok. I believe u
louiemctool on Mar 25, 2008
hmm, the plot thickens...
:|
Granf on Mar 25, 2008
I think ghosts should be allowed to talk if they do so in italics. :)
louiemctool on Mar 25, 2008
spooky. was like cold fingers dancing along my spine...
anyone get a sudden urge for a peanut butter sandwich?
:p
emanaton on Mar 26, 2008
*walks out to the town square, glances at Granf, and starts whistling the theme to Ghost Busters*
emanaton on Mar 26, 2008
@annikalee: You can claim to have the Gay Libertarian Pope On A Rope role if it gives you kicks to the do so; during the day cycle, anyone can make any claim, saying anything they wish (although it is generally considered bad form to cut-and-paste posts from the moderator directly into the public forum). In short, of COURSE you can say that.
emanaton on Mar 26, 2008
And it's now night four... but the game is over.... =o)
emanaton on Mar 26, 2008

:p
awm on Mar 26, 2008
no bad- had a lot of fun. but csmaccath- you killed my acolyte!!!
csmaccath on Mar 26, 2008
He was quiet...TOO quiet. And I didn't know who he was at the time. In retrospect, I wouldn't have done it, but this was my first time ever playing Mafia. =)
Sorry Granf!
emanaton on Mar 27, 2008
Thanks guys - it was great fun to run. I'm looking forward to participating in the next one! =o)
