@SuperTD: Your Godfather wrote this on day 1, which is why you are not a valid kill target tonight:

@VectorZero: In my [irony]brief clarification[/irony]of roles post, I do state that a Capo's investigation is day only. Again, sorry for any confusion my multiple lengthy posts may have caused, but, y'know, I was making most of this stuff up off the top of my head, and trying to make sure it was all consistent, and hoping that I was not conflicting anything I had already written (I had a bunch of ideas that I did not use, by the way). Of course, you strip away all the "reversiness" and you get a pretty vanilla game of cult, almost. But, as long as people have fun, it's all good right, so . . .

Increase: Fun
Amount: 50%
When: Immediately
How: More discussion amongst yourselves
The Carrot: You will find yourselves having more fun
The Stick: I will mercilessly taunt any lurkers

Well, I didn't want to use the 1shot until I read what you guys thought, or more importantly, what the Godfather thought.

Re Godfather's wife, basically vanilla w/ exception of ability to "order around" the godfather?

Since you BOLDED it, this question was probably directed at me (it wouldn't hurt to start with a "Hey Mod" or a "@ our all-knowing and hopefully merciful Master" so that I know you are asking me), but all I will say is, read the post where I tell CVS about the role I assigned him, and the post about the number of total votes and number of votes needed to kill. The Made Men are definitely vanilla, but I am not sure what category I would put the Godfather's Wife in (Participating non-participant?).

And asking me questions will not prevent taunting. You need to interact with all the other players to do that. (I'm barely refraining from taunting you right now!)

Random voting, vote hopping, and funny piratical talk. Not exactly the least suspicious start there Trump.

Number of FBI Agents in Mafia: 1
Number of Trustworthy Mafia Members: 8

Number of Pirates: 1
Number of Mafia members whom are Mafia acting: 8

Clear-cut facts, my friend.

How exactly is "Yarr!" a mafia accent? What I've always heard was "fuggetaboutit" and "youse guys" = mafia.

by **Trumpkin** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:23 pm UTC

Yarr! You're not Sicilian which means you're accent would be as accurate as mine! Yarr!

by **Trumpkin** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:24 pm UTC

Yarr! Also, ye should answer me question! Yarr!

by **moody7277** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:39 pm UTC

From what I've seen/heard in these games, vote hopping and random voting (to a lesser extent) are alleged bad guy tactics; vote hopping I guess to avoid the appearance of bandwagoning. It's still early for firm suspicions, but IGMEOY.

As for the accent thing, it's more of a stereotype thing, and you're sounding more like Jack Sparrow than Tony Soprano.

Doh! I claim tl;dr. Actually, tl; forgot. I think most of what I said remains valid though.

I am opposed to lynching trumpkin on the grounds he is the only one ranked below me in the mafia pirate hierachy. Also he protects against global warming.

by **Trumpkin** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 10:47 pm UTC

Yarr! Perhaps us mafia should model ourselves from the Somalians, the most pirates with the least global emmisions! Yarr!

My vote stands. Every time he posts I remember that Yar died first season.

(As if you could not count to 1 all by yourselves!)

As Capo, I say that I am not a snitch and am loyal to hell and back to the Godfather. Or else, if ya know what I mean. *tilts fedora*

No boys, this pirate clown does not amuse me.

Vote Trumpkin

by **VectorZero** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:45 pm UTC

I think youse guys is making a hoige mistake here-a.
The trump card-kin is making a scene fa shure, but that's hardly grounds for a killing. WIFOM squared.

FOS: markstonia and mr pete for bandwagoning. -a

Also: we have watchoo might-a call-a situation developing: the capo's investigations will be suspect tomorr-a night-a; if no FBI scum is swimmin' inna da Hudson, bot' pete and da udder guy could-a bin toined.

by **VectorZero** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:47 pm UTC

EBWOP: da udder guy is sanctuary. Typing on dis oi-phone is not so easy widda fat finger

'Ey how could he not be the snitch? He's a pirate! Pirates cannot be trusted. -a.

by **markstonia** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:51 pm UTC

I agree it makes me thimk he's trying to be mafia by having an italian accent. My vote still stands.

by **markstonia** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:56 pm UTC

Edit: I meant think.

by **VectorZero** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:57 pm UTC

EBWOP: I didn't explicitly include the possibility that both capos are already mafia.
I think we have 3 options with regard to the daytime investigations:
1) ignore any posted results
2) if a capo claims to have turned up an FBI, lynch the capo immediately. If loyal, lynch the FBI
3) advise the capo's to hold off on their investigations until lylo, when the godfather can consider converting and using the daycop then.
Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards 2, but a plan from higher up would be good

Ninja'd: unfortunately, the FBI have a thorough and foolproof test to exclude pirates from their snitch banks, being deemed relatively untrustworthy. I have reproduced the test below, which I found on the mafia locker room floor:

FBI wrote:Arrrr you a pirate? Yes/no

I don't know who to suspect. Everyone seems to be hurling accusations and suspicions around randomly, probably because there is little to go on. I'm going to abstain for the moment.

I'll have you know that CVSoul is --male.--
Further more, The Godfather's Wife will henceforth be named Beatrice. Because I said so.

Beatrice would like you to know that pirates cannot be trusted, but no opposing faction would be idiotic enough to talk like one anyways, so I trust our piratey friend.

CVS: My deepest apologies for my confusion over your gender. I am not sure where I got the idea you were female. Since I am allowed to, I will go edit my posts to fix this egregious error. Anyway, please continue on as Beatrice, the Godfather's Wife.

Yarr! I have re-established mafia communication after losing access since me last post! Yarr!

Note: In other words, I can use the internet again since I was cutoff for a while.

by **MasterOfAll** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:42 am UTC

Since I do not want this night 1 dragging out indefinitely, I am going to impose a 72 hour deadline from right now.

If the required 5 votes to kill are not reached before the deadline, I will declare this to be a "no-lynch", and day 2 will then start with all players still alive.

by **Sanctuary1** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:49 am UTC

C'mon boys, we need to go outta kill this boy Trump before day or else everyone's schedules get more scrambled than my wife's near-perfect scrambled eggs.

5 Votes means Trumpkin is dead, has been chopped into little pieces, and now sleeps with the fishies.

Immediately after doing the dirty deed to the youngest of the Made Men, everyone raced over to Trumpkin's apartment, where his personal journal was quickly discovered under his bed. Besides embarrassing love poems written to Beatrice, but never sent because of both fear of rejection and fear of the Godfather, no evidence was produced to indicate that Trumpkin had been anything other than a loyal member of the mafia.

Trumpkin was MAFIA.

Day 2 starts now. Send in your PMs if you have possible day actions.

Today's topic for day discussion: How did the HBO show The Sopranos accurately portray the mob, and in what ways was it completely fictitious?

Reminder: you can all post whatever you want during the day in this game thread, but you can only PM other players if your role allows it (and please include me on any PMs sent).
