A loud sound, woke up everyone not already awake. Quickly, they rushed to the room where the sound was made, and found Mr. Body lying dead on the floor. He had some sort of unidentifiable wound on his body, and no-one could identify the person standing over him with the weapon he was holding. Because, you know, it was pitch black and no-one could see anything, and the power was out. The person ran out of the room, or so they think, and when they looked back, Mr. Body's body was gone! Suddenly, there were 7 of them, each of them, or most of them, had a weapon. We need to find out who did this, with what weapon, and where! Shouted one person. everyone agreed, and set out to the entrance hall to begin their search.

by **CueBall** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:05 pm UTC

I see 7 players but only 6 living roles.

by **Rakysh** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:15 pm UTC

I'm confirming.

by **Sungura** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:22 pm UTC

I see 7 roles...
And confirming although I did via pm too.

by **Rakysh** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:23 pm UTC

One of them is Mr Body though- apparently he's dead.

by **Dark Loink** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:29 pm UTC

alright, i'm confirming

This was my thought.

Also, confirm.

by **Sungura** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:33 pm UTC

Oh. And aww I'm sad I'm not a girl. I like Peacock. Peacocks are cool. And I look good in blues and purples.

by **CueBall** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:38 pm UTC

Although, Mr. Body did dissapear... Ghost, anyone?

by **Sungura** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:49 pm UTC

Hopefully a Casper type ghost...

by **CueBall** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:55 pm UTC

I wouldn't be if I'd been killed like that.

by **KrazyNerd** » Sun May 31, 2009 7:14 pm UTC

Confirming.

by **Vieto** » Sun May 31, 2009 7:21 pm UTC

I think this will be the smallest mini in a long while

(outside of #xkcdmafia, of course)

by **Nikc** » Sun May 31, 2009 8:12 pm UTC

Dang, I forgot how much thought and strategy is involved in this game. Nice change of pace from my weeks of nothing but Rock Band.

Presumably a mass card claim is out of the question?

Blech, I should read better. Sorry.

by **velvet_octopus** » Sun May 31, 2009 9:23 pm UTC

Confirming.

by **Vieto** » Sun May 31, 2009 10:10 pm UTC

Ok, that's everyone.

Also, a note on weapons: (almost) everyone has been given a random weapon, which has a pre-designated ability.

They agreed to meet in the entrance hall. They found nothing, other than the foul stench of... was one of them bleeding? Miss scarlet looked at a stranger, who appeared to be bleeding profusely in the torso region, or was it the head region? Was he bleeding? Maybe it was a bruise? Who knew.

Questions for the mod:
Are we allowed to role-claim? (Not the same as revealing our cards).
When we accuse someone, do we accuse a person (Accuse: Vieto) or a role (Accuse: Colonel Mustard)?
Do we get one suggestion per day, or a one-shot public suggestion?

Speculation and such:
If I understand correctly (Vieto, tell me if I'm wrong?) we, as a town, are only allowed to accuse one person per day, but if that person isn't scum, or if they are scum but we get the wrong room or weapon, no-one dies. This, I suppose, is both good and bad for the town - we can't accidentally kill a townie, so there is no reason to fear voting on little evidence day one. However, our day-one vote may be only little better than a shot in the dark (depending on whether we get one suggestion per day each, or each a one-shot suggestion). If one-shot, then we must be careful not to waste them, but if we are too careful then people will die with their suggestions unused.
Assuming there is one NK per night, there is no reason why we should run out of accusations before we run out of town (eep!) but I would highly recommend that no-one use both of their suggestions while others have used neither, as the mafia wins when the town is out of suggestions (and who do you suppose they'd target first?)
Otherwise, I don't have a lot of ideas as far as strategy goes right now, seeing how we need to find a weapon and a room and find the scum, and possibly the identity of the scum as well. Ideas? I do believe this game calls for major strategy.

1. You may role-claim. Role-claims do not help find who the scum is, as Anyone could have killed Mr. Body (even Mr. Body).
2. Accusations should be in this format: Accuse: Role, weapon, location
3. Each person gets 1 suggestion a day.

by **Dark Loink** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:27 am UTC

As far as i can tell, we can't do too much right now. Having limited accusations (2 per person) and slightly limited suggestions(1 per person per day) we dont want to be wasteful. We may have to be with suggestions, as we don't want to let the mafia get night kills. But we don't have a choice, since it's so unlikely we get the mafia in the first day, we cant do too much. I'm going to wait until the others post before i use my suggestion.

by **Sungura** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:46 am UTC

Is it one suggestion per day?

Also, been a long time since I played clue...the correct combo is what cards are not in existence, correct?

by **Vieto** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:47 am UTC

1 suggestion per person per day

Also, you are correct in your assessment that the 3 cards that are not in existence are the correct combo.

by **Sungura** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:50 am UTC

EBWOP: i see that now. 1 per day (suggestion)

by **Sungura** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:52 am UTC
