High School Mafia: A BRoom Game moved to DGames

[Tom]

Night 4 ends!

A handful of students are early for Music Appreciation class, Goldshadow included. They sit in a circle around the principal as he tells them about his time as a rock star. He strums an electric guitar.

"You see, students, what we would do is just... go crazy."

"What do you mean, go crazy?" someone snickers, baiting the principal. "Why don't you show us?"

"Sure! I'd love to!"

The principal surveys the crowd to find someone who will make eyecontact... a fatal mistake. The principal walks right up to Goldshadow, lifts the guitar over his head, and shouts "ROCK AND ROLL, BAYBEE!"

He slams the guitar down onto Goldshadows head, knocking him onto the ground. He proceeds to beat the living hell out of Goldshadow until there is nothing left.

The bell rings, and the Principal panics. He gathers up some of the scraps of metal and jumps out the window.

The rest of the students walk into the room... "What the hell happened here?"

Goldshadow, the outcast (independent survivor), has died a bloody death.

Day 5 begins!
Deadline: Sunday, October 26th, Noon EST.
With 8 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

Well, it doesn't seem like anybody wants to talk, but we've got to talk about something. Right now, we seem pretty **** near out of leads, but we can't just sit on our *****. Otherwise we're just going to wind up with a wasted day.

Right now, my primary suspect is Mic. Lately, he's not done anything to attract my attention, but earlier in the game he was switching his vote left and right. More recently, he's been laying low, making contributions that didn't really contribute anything.

He claims that he's not good at these games, and doesn't really like them. To me, that seems like him trying to make himself seem more innocuous, and like less of a threat. Of course, he'd be aiming to do that as a townie, too, so I can't say this is conclusive proof that he's mafia, but it seems like he's really insecure about his position, for some reason. More secure than most people are, even when they're a mafia newb.

Now, I don't want to lynch him. Not yet, anyway. What I want is for Mic to defend himself, and explain his actions. Mic, I want to know what your gameplan is. I want to know why you voted the way you did, and why you kept trying to present yourself in such a meek way. If your answers don't satisfy, I plan to ask more specific questions. If I'm still not satisfied, I will vote for you, and push for your lynch.

I'm not sure if you're mafia, but I plan to make you actually say something, rather than just posting to remind everyone how you're not a threat.

 

[KevinM]

I'm rather suspicious of Medi at this point, idk why it's just a gut feeling.

 

[KevinM]

I'd also like to point out I'm not going ZOMG mafia, obviously.. that's not my playstyle and I don't have the spam master gut.

Something just doesn't sit right.. more on this when I'm not exhausted.

 

[GoldShadow]

Gosh darn mafia. I may have been independent, but for their transgression, I would like to say "go get 'em town!"

 

[Xsyven]

[Xsyven]

I'd might as well put in my two cents as well. Keep in mind though, I've had quite a few glasses of champagne and wine.

At this point of the game, you're all suspicious. Really, I'm just afraid of everyone. I've copied everyone's name from the first post, and I'll add what I think of you.

Crimson King
He posts a bit, but doesn't really give me much to play off of. Maybe he's trying to hide something?

Eor
Eor's the king of Mafia games. He really knows what he's doing-- he's an extremely important asset to any town-- but here that's a double edged sword. He's good enough to fool the town, just as he'd be good enough to fight the Mafia. I'm looking for any sort of slip-up from you, mister.

AltF4
Puts no effort into the game whatsoever. Its almost to the point where we're all thinking too much, as AltF4 sort of just goes around night killing everyone, and not even trying to hide things at all. Occam's Razor?

Mediocre
I've got you pinned in sort of in the same category as Eor.

Matunas
See: Crimson King

Yeroc & KevinM
You're both like AltF4-- except you don't even post. I imagine you two just sitting back, night killing without actually contributing.

 

[Mic_128]

Right now, my primary suspect is Mic. Lately, he's not done anything. More recently, he's been laying low

Laying low and not doing anything are what corpses do best.

 

[Virgilijus]

Laying low and not doing anything are what corpses do best.

*corpse high five!*

 

[Marc]

Mic isn't liked much here in Hell. Please take him back and kill him again for our amusement.

 

[KevinM]

These last three posts have made me laugh a lot. Congrats.

 

[Mediocre]

...Mic died a while ago, bud.

Oh. Wow.

Smooth play on my part, eh?

 

[Matunas]

Wow, so few posts..

Xsyven, comparing me to CK? CK has posted very little information at all. He has mostly jumped around in the voting with no explanation and contributed nothing to the game. I've tried to explain my stance each time as to why I voted and what my thoughts were on the game in general. I hope that's enough of a distinction between us to see a difference.

No one has any comments at all with the new info? I have to say I'm pretty worried at this point. Assuming there are 2-3 mafia (outside of Scav) that means we have either today or possibly tomorrow where we have to lynch a mafia or we lose. That's kind of important.

The way I see it right now, with Marc being town we have a few leads. It most likely means KevinM is town seeing how he saved Marc on day 2. It'd be a very bold move by the mafia to save a townie when they could have a free death, so to me it puts Kevin in the clear. Mediocre feels the same way to me. His recent support and defense of Marc leads me to believe he isn't mafia.

Eor, I feel the same way as Xsyven. He's enigmatic when it comes to Mafia games. CK has contributed very little so far. Alt is the same way.

I want to go over the voting record some more but I'm at school with none of my notes and really don't have time to go over the whole thread. I'll do this eventually if no one else does it first.

 

[Mediocre]

I'd also like to point out I'm not going ZOMG mafia, obviously.. that's not my playstyle and I don't have the spam master gut.

Give me more.

We've got four days until the deadline. We need to do something, or else it's just going to be a wasted day. We really can't afford to waste days at this point in the game.

 

[Tom]

Deadline: Sunday, October 26th, Noon EST.
With 8 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

 

[Xsyven]

...so when the deadline comes, and no one else other than Matunas and I give our opinions, you guys won't find me suspicious for just voting for someone random, right? Because that seems like what's gonna happen.

Mediocre, I understand that you gave your opinions, but you gave your opinions about a dead townie. How about letting us know your opinions about one of the living?

Vote: KevinM

Subject to change, but KevinM, gut feelings really just don't cut it anymore. They were viable for the first two lynches when we had nothing to go off of, but unless you can explain yourself, it seems as if you're just using gut feelings as a crutch to get away with murder.

KevinM, if you sway my suspicions, AltF4, you're on the line next.




Hopefully that'll stir up some life. =/

 

[Xsyven]

Unvote: KevinM

Dammit, vodka makes me reckless. KevinM, you're suspicious, but with 4 to lynch, I shouldn't be baiting thread life with votes. My opinion still stands, though!

More to come in the morning. (With sober logic!)

 

[Matunas]

Well since no one is posting at all outside Xsyven I'm going to throw my vote out for CK. He's been shady for awhile now and really hoping for a little activity in here.

Vote: Crimson King

 

[Eor]

I don't know why people still say I'm great at these games. A while ago, when a lot of people were new, I was pretty good. Now I'm average if that.

I haven't been posting because I have no idea what to do. I was waiting to see if Matunas attacked me, which he hasn't. Eric could be mafia, but I know Eric and he'd probably play this way anyways. Everything else I'm stumped on, and I'm honestly not even too interested in it

 

[AltF4]

We're in trouble if we don't vote out a mafia this round. There's, what, 2 or 3 mafia left or something like that? It only takes 4 to lynch right now, so it's getting real dangerous.

EDIT: I mean, **** you guys!

Why were you waiting to see if I attacked you?

 

[Eor]

We both pushed for Marc's death, and I know I'm town, but you could of been mafia for it. However, there was no reason to really suspect that, unless you tried to push the blame on me, which is what I assumed some people would be doing by now. If you had, then I could assume you were mafia because we did the exact same thing, yet you would of been saying it's my fault.

Vote count:

[Xsyven]

Vote: KevinM, for reasons stated while drunk.

 

[Yeroc]

Wow. I think I, and a fair few other people I believe, have completely run out of steam here. I feel like there's nothing to really go on, or that I'm not good enough at reading between the lines to see what's there.

However, I highly suspect that this could be our last shot to catch one of the mafia. In a game of 14, 3 mafia players sounds like an appropriate number. We've done a rather poor job of making sure this vote doesn't snare yet another townie. I wonder, however, if we could get away with not trying to, seeing as how we've done rather absymally so far. It's a shame I won't be here to see what you all decide to do, as I'll be working until 12:30, but if enough of you think a no vote could save us today. I know it's funny logic to suggest a no vote and then vote for somebody, but as I'll not be here I'd rather try to push for 2 causes and let the town decide on it's course of action. So I'm going to go with the person I've been suspicious of the most in this game, and that's CK.

Vote: CK

 

[KevinM]

Vote: Replacement for me

I'm not able to stay active for reasons posted in the Bad Mood thread as of recently and although I'm around I'm not able to make huge judgmental posts as I would like because I'm in and out, it's not fair for you guys to have me being inactive.

Absolutely understood, thank you for asking, I'll get you a replacement and then I'll post the lynch scene for Crimson King.

PMing the Marshigio

 

[Tom]

Marshigio replaces KevinM.

Vote Count!
Crimson King (2): Matunas, Yeroc
Marshigio (1): Xsyven

A deadline had been set for Noon today, but due to:

Every player is now required to vote at least once before the deadline hits.

I'm going to have to extend the deadline, because only 3 of 8 players voted. The deadline is now pushed back 5 days to Friday, Oct. 31st, Noon EST.

With 8 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.
Due to the Day 3 rule, every player must vote at least once.

 

[AltF4]

Wow, we have so little to go off of... Everyone I was really suspicious of is dead. I haven't a lot of time to make a very long post, but I'm gonna have to go with KevinM (or whoever replaces him. I thought he was a mafia a while ago and seems to be my best choice now.

Vote: KevinM


EDIT: Tom beat me to my post. Just replace KevinM with his replacement in the above.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Alt, why were you suspicious of KevinM? You're just picking on the new kid

Everybody'll probably think I'm crazy for this, but his posts made sense from a mafia standpoint when I read the thread, more so than other players.

Vote: Mediocre

I'll go into more detail later, but I'll say that just because he didn't go for Marc doesn't clear him. It was obvious that Marc was going to die soon anyway, so he just decided not to have his name on the vote count.

GET OUT, PREMMIE.

STFU, MAFIAFACE

I actually do think that Xsyven is mafia, but I'm more confident in Medi so I'll get all up in their grills later when I'm not in such a rush.

 

[Xsyven]

Alt, why were you suspicious of KevinM? You're just picking on the new kid

You understand my reasonings, right? KevinM has posted throughout the entire game, but he never once gave solid reasons for any of his posts. We're at a really crucial moment in the game, and he's still using hunches. If anything, it looks like he's using a crutch.

 

[KevinM]

Good luck Marsh, sorry I couldn't continue the game everyone else.

 

[Mediocre]

I hate to admit it, but I'm clueless.

Eor doesn't seem mafia to me. As mafia, he always takes the reins. He usually does this a town, too, but he's generally more confident in his actions when he's mafia. Because he can't figure out where to go now, I don't think it's likely that he's mafia. It could be a ploy to get everyone to think this way, but given that he's playing a game with a lot of new players who aren't familiar with his usual tactics, I think that's unlikely.

Matunas has been generally helpful, although he hasn't really accomplished much. But nobody in this game has accomplished much, so that's not really a negative. I'd guess he's a townie, but I'm not sure. tmw_redcell seemed townie to me too, so I think I'll leave Matunas alone.

Yeroc is another one I think is probably town. He was fairly inactive early on in the game, but has turned that around recently, making sizable posts and contributing as much as anyone else, lately. I also like that he tried to prompt AltF4 into being more involved.

Marshigio just replaced KevinM. I don't really have a feeling about them at all, because Marshigio just got in, and KevinM really didn't do much. He mostly made empty posts, although there were a few notable things he did. For one, he didn't do much rapidly shifting voting, so that might be a good sign. He also forced a no-lynch on Day 2, saving Marc from what would have been a lynch with only two of nine people voting for him. Since Marc turned out to be a townie, I'd say that's also a point in his favor.

So, the remaining three are AltF4, Crimson King and Xsyven. Frankly, I'm iffy about all three of them.

Crimson King hasn't been inactive, exactly, but a lot of his posts are just hunches and guesses. So, really, he's voted for quite a few people with not much reasoning behind it. On the other hand, he sometimes does give reasoning, although often it's not very compelling. And, he also did volunteer himself as a lynchee when he thought he'd be unable to play because of the hurricane. That doesn't mean he has to be town, but it definitely is in his favor. Personally, I think he's probably a townie who's just not quite sure what he needs to do.

Xsyven is someone I'm also suspicious of. He's active, but his posts generally don't say a lot. Early on, he was one of the last people to vote for Matt in that early bandwagon. Of course, this can easily be accredited to being new to the game. He was also one of the first to unvote, which is a good sign. After that, he had some suspicions, but the only area in which he was really active was arguing for lynching Marc. Frankly, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It shows that he isn't just someone who stays in the background and votes, which is something I might except from a new player who gets assigned to the mafia, but on the other hand, Marc turned out to be town. Other than that, Xsyven has been mostly in the background. I'm really neutral on him.

Finally, AltF4. He's the player I'm most suspicious of, and I think for good reason. He's posted a grand total of 10 times since the game started. That's pretty pitiful. None of his posts contributed anything, except a vote and an emo joke. He could be a townie, but to me it seems more and more like he's a mafia trying to lie low, and doing quite well at it. Even when he was pressured to come out and actually say something, nothing really happened. I think he's a newbie mafioso, hiding behind his inexperience to remain unnoticed and unchallenged.

I defended Marc for two game days before he was lynched. By the second day, it was pretty obvious that he was going to be lynched no matter what he or I said. At that point, yes, I wasn't voting for him simply because I didn't want to be associated with lynching somebody who I felt confident would turn out to be town.

But before that? I thought there was a fair chance that I could convince people not to lynch one of the more valuable and active players in the game.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

KevinM giving reasons as to why he voted OWM
Explaining why he thought Matt was the Fool
Saving Marc by voting Yeroc
Voting tmw_redcell for inactivity

I think that's all of of 'em. He explained himself every time he voted someone, the only time he didn't was when he said Mediocre was suspicious. Even then, he didn't want it taken seriously because he hates going on his gut.

You're exaggerating when you say he hasn't given solid reasoning throughout the game so you can lynch another townie.

Can you explain why he'd go out of his way to save Marc if he was mafia? I guess you could say that he did it to try and convince people that he was a townie after Marc's inevitable death, but even then people would still be skeptical of his townosity. Why would he make such a bold move to prove himself townie when he wasn't even under pressure at the time? He was making short posts giving insight on other posts and wasn't very confrontational, so I just don't see why he would do it as mafia.

Finally, AltF4. He's the player I'm most suspicious of, and I think for good reason. He's posted a grand total of 10 times since the game started. That's pretty pitiful. None of his posts contributed anything, except a vote and an emo joke. He could be a townie, but to me it seems more and more like he's a mafia trying to lie low, and doing quite well at it.

Vote: AltF4Warrior

You're voting for Alt because he's posted 10 times? He's already said that he's busy with other things. I really don't think that it's too hard to believe, not so unbelievable that it's worth assuming that he's mafia and lynching him.

 

[Crimson King]

****, I was supposed to spend some time rereading everything to catch up for today so I could have a better method of voting than before. School and life caught up to me however, and I am not confident enough on anyone to vote with any type of certainty.

The problem I have with Alt, yes, he's only posted "10 times," which I have no idea if that's exaggerated or not, but his posts were cryptic, pointless, and useless towards any type of vote or method of helping us in anyway. That's not ****ing evidence by any means, but it does show that he has no interest in helping us. I cannot vote for him based on that, but I can understand why Mediocre is voting that way.

He always takes the time to make emo jokes, but has not once has he contributed anything substantial. I understand time constraints. I believe AltF4 is busy. But if he takes the time to always post in character, but can't take the time to explain his suspicions or the reasoning behind his votes, that seems very strange to me.

Even after he was called out on it, he continued to take the time to write all his posts in character, but his only contribution has been to point out that we were really in eminent danger of losing to the mafia. And while that's true, it's also something that everyone here should already be aware of.


I'd also like you to explain your reasoning for voting for me further. It's fine that your suspicious of me; that's the nature of the game. But I'd appreciate some more information on why you're suspicious of me, since you seem fairly serious about it.

Not an exaggeration at all. I searched for all posts by AltF4Warrior in The Grimer Gallery with the word "mafia" in the title of the post. Twelve posts came up. Two of them were from before the game had actually started.

Really, this is a vote that should have happened much earlier in the game, when it would have been less risky. But given the dearth of actual evidence, and the total lack of contribution or content from AltF4, he earned my vote.

 

[Crimson King]

I don't disagree with you, at all. I am actually tempted to vote for him again because the last time we voted on him to turn up the pressure, he simply said this:

**** you guys! I'm busy deciding which trench coat to wear to school today.

I don't have to defend myself.

Really, I don't remember how we missed that or why, but given that we have few leads, and I am currently in the lead with votes, I'm going with this.

Vote: AltF4Warrior

And while that's true, it's also something that everyone here should already be aware of.

I think that he may be The Jester, where the player has to get themselves lynched. It's a ****ty role, probably the worst in the game, but maybe Alt has it? If that's the case, he'd win if we lynched him, which would just suck. Jesters also usually have an obvious posting restriction, Tom in Marvel Mafia for example, and it's clear that Alt has one. Maybe he's too focused on playing his role like you said earlier, or has some restriction where his posts can't exceed a certain amount of characters. These roles would explain why he's been posting the way he has.

I think the idea of Alt being mafia may be too perfect, just like how you said Marc being mafia was too perfect as well. It's pretty clear that he's the emo kid, so wouldn't it make sense that his role required him to stay unattached from the town while still being a townie? It'd be like the emo kid who's forced to go to class with his peers, despite hating them all. Tom already had an annoying role that the town was supposed to put up with in Matt, so he might have another with Alt.

Hell, the guy's voting for me, but I still think he should be kept around for a while longer, since Xsyven is more suspicious.

I'd also like you to explain your reasoning for voting for me further. It's fine that your suspicious of me; that's the nature of the game. But I'd appreciate some more information on why you're suspicious of me, since you seem fairly serious about it.

Unvote: Mediocre

Vote: Xsyven

Right now, I want to focus on Xsyven. He voted me/KevinM because Kevin "never once gave solid reasons for any of his posts", even though you can see for yourself that Kevin did explain if you look at the posts I linked to earlier. Again, he's exaggerating when he says that so he can get away with lynching another townie. Lynch 'em and call it a day.
