Day 1 ends.

After everyone got off work or out of school, they gathered in the Town Square and looked at Dave. He sighed and said, “Fine, let's get this hanging in one quick shot. No resetting the noose and fixing a broken gallows. Let's get it right.” So with the efficiency of experience, they strung him up and let him swing. Quick and painless, just as he wished.

As Dave's body was delivering the final twitches of death, the crowd ambled over to his home. They arrived at the apartment building and looked at the mailboxes to determine which unit was his. There it was, #8 – Dave Cordell McAwesome. They walked down the hall and kicked in the door. Inside, all they found was boxes of Transformers & GI Joe dolls action figures, a copy of 2007 Fantasy Football Pro Forecast, and a couple of action movie posters. But nothing incriminating. They'd lynched one of their own. Everyone nervously ambled back to their respective homes, giving sidelong glances at each other and subconsciously moving their hands to their holsters.

That night, the town was awakened by the sound of gunfire and a bicycle bell. They were all curious, but thought it best to stay indoors 'til morning. This was, after all, Texas, where it's shoot first and let God sort 'em out.

In the morning they awoke and discovered there were two townspeople missing. They formed a search party and found Chad in his home with a bullet in the head, surrounded by empty beer cans and a half-empty package of Sudafed.

They continued their search until they discovered Deb. Someone had impaled her on a Schwinn StingRay. It was a gruesome sight, what with the front wheel sticking out of her back and the nose of the banana seat lodged between her perky breasts.

Day 2 has begun.

Current players:

• Adam
  
• Bacon
  
• Chad - Dead Day 1. (Epitaph: TBD)
  
• Deb - Dead Day 1. (Epitaph: Go fuck yourselves, haters, you were wrong.)

• mango
  
• McAwesome - Misfit, Lynched Day 1. (Epitaph: The good die young.)
  
• Otto von Bizmark

Hush, you're ghosts, you're not supposed to speak.

[monogodo]

Also, the wife and I are heading out of town for a couple of days and will have limited internet access until Monday. So keep that in mind when PMing me hits and protection orders.

[Adam]

Ok, so after Dave's name it says "misfit." It says nothing by Deb or Chad's name. Are we to assume they are townies?

[mango]

Rules from last time: game leader is not allowed to reveal the role of night killings. So, 0-1 of them could be mafia.

[Adam]

Got it.

[Adam]

Alright, I'm going to say this and be done. After last game's fiasco, I'm by no means guaranteeing I'm right. Anyway...we're down to five. I am not a bad guy. I have what I think is a pretty solid theory behind why Mango is not a bad guy (not just because Dave said so). That leaves Bacon, Otto and Mal. Bacon and Otto have been their normal, bumbling selves, so I can't really form a solid opinion of their actions. But something about day one did bother me. It seemed to me there was a "lynch Dave" conspiracy afoot. Two people were using extremely fuzzy logic to set Dave up. First, from Mal...

Dave seems awfully eager to listen to Adam.... very very suspicious.

VOTE TO LYNCH: Dave

This is classic Mafia Mal, pretending there is logic where there really is none. Listening to me is suspicious? I'm batting like .800 minimum at figuring out who the mafioso are. And even if I wasn't, it's not like there was much more to go on at that point. Mango had voted for me and Dave had voted for Otto, both admittedly for basically no reason. My vote was the first one that had at least some strategy to it (although I now think I was wrong). Joining in was the only reasonable choice at that point. And after planting the seed, Mal vanishes.

Next, from Chad...

Quote

Anyone else notice that whatever Dave votes, certain people follow the trend? Like he's talking with his mafia buddies and trying to organize something?

VOTE TO LYNCH MCAWESOME

This was IMMEDIATELY after Mal's post. At this point, the only following of Dave that happened was Mango switching his vote to Otto in what was clearly a vote in the name of humor. Otto protests that "Why the heck do you want to vote for me? I'm a good guy!" Mango replies with, "you make an excellent point, vote to lynch Otto." Obviously, that's not a strategic vote, especially not that early.

After that, Dave followed ME in voting for Deb at almost the exact same time that Bacon voted for Deb. Sure, Dave's post appeared first, but I don't think it qualifies as Bacon "following" Dave. And even if Chad's theory had any merit, it would require that there be a minimum of three bad guys. There are only two. And no self respecting mafioso is going to organize that much vote changing in what amounted to the first quarter of the game. Chad was reaching. Why? Because Chad and Mal are the enemy and their day one strategy was to set up Dave. Please note that, after planting the seed, Chad vanishes. Mal only returns near the end of the day to discredit Dave when he puts all of his cards on the table.

Mal and Chad were absolutely hellbent on lynching Dave based on a whole bunch of nothing. Something about that doesn't sit well with me. That's why I shot Chad. And now, that's why I...

Vote to Lynch Mal

Current Tally:

Mal - 1

Remaining Innocent Townies - 0


I reiterate, I'm not guaranteeing that I'm right, vote however you wish. This is just my theory and this is just a game so why the hell not let it out? If anyone else has any ideas I'm open to hearing them. Thanks.

[malfouka]

interesting theories ya got there Mr. Adam. however, for once i'm not a bad guy----just a regular old villager (which, i must admit, is an ego blow).

like i said though, you do bring up some good points.


PS. i "disappeared" because my ex-spouse did not pay the electric bill....

***************************************************

the chances are either Deb or Chad was mafia (or whatever it is), thus leaving one left.
let's say for a moment that Dave was telling the truth. that leaves Adam, Bacon, or Otto as mafia. i'm leaning towards Adam because of the appearance of another "anonymous" member----Adam, out of the three (no offense), seems to have mastered this particular skill.

Again with the funny logic. Every post from every Mafia game from all of eternity is available for our viewing pleasure. When, exactly, has even the mildest mention of my ability with being "anonymous" ever been mentioned? Please, let the people know. I can certainly go back and mine the posts for proof of your history of behaving exactly as you are now. Can you find evidence of my anonymous adeptness? If anything, I've always been a little too boisterous and outgoing for my own good. I wanted to out you yesterday, but I knew it would get me killed. So I bit my tongue. And now, it's a new day. You will die and this game will end. Furthermore, all of the sub forums are completely hidden, what the hell does anyone have to be anonymous for? Nobody can see anything that is going on in those forums. Logging in as anonymous doesn't really benefit anyone. Did you forget that when you were formulating your defense?

Again, vote how you will townspeople. But I think it's pretty goddamned obvious at this point.

ah, you see, i know of your proficiency with the "anonymous" log-in because i have led this game. anyway.... the point of still logging in anonymously is so that no-one sees Fat Tony, Jabba, etc... logged in (thus making it less obvious when one logs in and out between his "real" member name and game name).

admit it Adam, you are Mafia.

[malfouka]

okay, let's (once again) suppose Dave was telling the truth, Mango could still be Mafia in the role of the Godfather (if there is one).

convince me that Mango is not Mafia.

I guess I would've known that if I was or had been mafioso recently. My bad.

This may be all my imagination, but here goes...on the signup thread, please note that at the time monogodo closed the sign ups, Mango is not on the list. I would swear on my life that when I first checked the day 1 thread, Mango was still not on the list of participants. I clearly remember looking at it and thinking it's just me and six others and that it was odd that Mango never signed up. About half an hour later, Mango is posting that I should be lynched and his name is now on the list. But, the number of Republic of Texas roles listed had not increased. I think Mango joined at the last minute when the bad guy roles had already been handed out. So, there is that, and we have Dave's information. What do YOU have?

[mango]

Far be it from me to argue against my innocence... but here's what happened in signup:

I PMd monogodo like 30 minutes before the game signups closed, that's why my name didn't show up on the player list. But, I don't think he picked roles until after I signed up.

That being said, I also felt malfouka's willingness to lynch Dave asap was suspicious.

I would love to lynch Bacon or Otto, maybe I'll just shoot one of them tonight.

Vote to lynch Mal

oh, and adam (and bacon and otto)... from the recap, it appears as though Deb was a mob hit. whereas Chad was shot by a vigilante.

[Adam]

This makes me suspect Dave even less. For him to be the bad guy would require an unusually high amount of incompetent game playing on his part. I still think Mal was trying to set him up. And through all of this debate, she's never really defended herself. She's just tried to deflect the suspicion elsewhere. I think Mango was next in line to be set up. Especially with the "this strategy sounds familiar" line. It was basically the same strategy that Mango used to get my lynched the one time I was mafioso. Chad's post about Dave "talking to his mafia buddies" also pointed the finger at Mango. At this point, either Dave and Mango are the Texans or Mal and Chad are. Mal and Chad get my vote.

[malfouka]

~Dave was not Mafia.
~i am not Mafia (i can prove it but will not do so until things start to look really bad).
~i do not think Chad was Mafia.

at this point, all signs point to Adam and Mango.

By all means, let me know, what signs are you referring to? And, personally, if I could prove I was not mafia, I'd do it as soon as possible. Why wait? Let's hear it.
