Wicket the Ewok was a pain in everyone's ass. In fact, no one was sure how he survived the carpet bombing of Endor after the little critters demanded a bigger cut of the Rebellion's merchandising dollars. On board the Millennium Falcon, he was constantly underfoot, going so far to "hide" under Princess Leia's dress. "Bad Ewok," she'd say, admonishing the furball in front of her fellow passengers. "Purrrrrrrfect height," she murmured during private interludes. Although she never figured out how he had such a long tongue, she shrugged it off for happier thoughts.

The rest had had enough. They prodded Wicket into the airlock. He was stronger than they'd imagined. It took the full complement of passengers to subdue him. During the tussle, a device clunked to the deck. His holoscannerwhatzis! The image of a tiny Wicket faded. In his place was the reptilian Bossk. All 7 feet of him. Leia fainted. The airlock doors slid open and Boskk disappeared.

Leia retired to her cabin. She dusted off her vibrator--not used since she bumped into Wicket/Bossk in the cockpit. It'd have to do. Before she could get started, however, there was a rap at her door. With a ship full of hard up space cowboys, she was grateful she wouldn't have to spend her nights alone. The door slid open with a "shhhhk" as space doors are wont to do. Her smile was greeted by the working end of an EE-3 carbine rifle. "That's not set for stun, is it?" Leia frowned. The subsequent laser blast answered that.

Mafia Day 3 begins.

In the morning, the remaining passengers found her body. One of them may--emphasize may--have had their way with her dead body. "Ew, gross," was the general feeling--though knowing the scum Han hangs with, it wasn't terribly surprising.

Trouble is still afoot. The fate of the Millennium Falcon hangs in the balance.

The players are:
Adam
Bacon (misfit-Chewbacca, lynched Day 1, epitaph: "Zombie Chewbacca beats all.")
Chad (killed Day 1, epitaph: "Avenge me, Vince McMahon")
Cheese Man (bounty hunter-Bossk, lynched Day 2, epitaph: "Cheesyness is next to Godliness.")
Deb (killed Day 2, epitaph: "I should have stuck with the scruffy looking nerf-herder.")
Jeckles
Malfouka
Mango
Monogodo
Otto

Cheese Man and Deb, if you have different epitaphs, now's the time to post them.

epitaphs

[malfouka]

okay Good Guys, we can wrap this thing up if we are careful. there are five of us to one of them. if there is a cop and a doctor left, perhaps you should consider coming out---especially the cop as he can report on the innocence of players he has investigated. the doctor can then protect the cop. we will most likely lose at least one of our numbers, however, even with a loss of two, we can still win.

thoughts?

[Deb]

My epitaph "I should have stuck with the scruffy looking nerf-herder"

[Adam]

My gut feeling is a bit of a long shot, so I'm going to withhold comment until I hear some other ideas.

[mango]

I don't have much time, so I apologize for the brevity.

My suspects for round 3: Jeckles and Malfouka.

Deb got whacked. I think the choice of Deb is brilliant. No chance the doc was going to protect her, a guaranteed townie hit. To be honest, I don't think there is a doctor this round. Even if the doc and cop stepped forward, I wouldn't believe them anyway (depending upon who did the stepping up)

cheese_man jumping on the mono bandwagon and turning out to be mafia leads me to believe that mono is a stand up guy.
adam voting for the cheese_man when there could've had a townie lynched leads me to believe that he's a stand up guy.

so we have otto. We could lynch otto just to be sure, and I'd be okay with that.

we also have jeckles and a wonky malfouka.

for now, I'm abstaining. can someone (i'm looking at you mono) run the voting pattern, to see if we missed something obvious?

I forgot I had that.

I'll get right on it.

[monogodo]

Here's the tally.

[Adam]

Alright, I'm going to put something out there. I'm not sold on it, i'm not voting yet and I know it's a long shot. Just think about it. In the history of this game, there is one strategy that has never been used by any mafioso despite the fact that it would be an almost sure path to victory. No mafioso has ever outright double crossed their fellow mafioso in an effort to gain all of the glory for their own. If any mafioso pairing would be prime for that type of move it would be Mango and Cheese_Man. Something about Mango's last second change of heart to unvote Monogodo and vote for Cheese_Man is a little unsettling. I think we have to at least consider that Mango is hiding in plain sight.

[mango]

You bastard. After I proclaimed you a stand up guy.

I could say the same things about you that you just mentioned about me. cheese_man voted malfouka first in round 2, in my eyes, puts her in the clear for now.

Adam, however, is no longer a "stand up guy" in my opinion.

vote to lynch jeckles

current tally:

Jeckles 1

Edited by mango, 25 September 2007 - 04:08 PM.

I'm just saying, it's a possibility. We know that Cheese_Man was mafioso. Who else did Cheese_Man target at one point or another? Otto (see the post on day 2 where he switched his vote to Mono), Mono, Mal. That leaves me, Mango and Jeckles as never having been targeted by the one known bad guy. If I'm right, it's Mango. If Mango is right, it's Jeckles. But there is the outside possibility that a more experienced player advised CM to vote for them to throw everyone off his trail (Mono/Mal). Fuck it, my guesses have been lousy lately.

Vote to lynch Jeckles

Current tally:

Jeckles - 2

[jeckles]

I love you guys too.

But we're allowing ourselves to be distracted. Unless the cop can shed some light on this situation, I'm sticking to what I've been pretty sure of.

Vote to Lynch: Malfouka

Current tally:
Jeckles-2
Mal-1

[mango]

I have a wild theory:

No mafioso has ever outright double crossed their fellow mafioso in an effort to gain all of the glory for their own. Jeckles came close with his lynching of Dave.

And NO mafioso has outright double crossed a fellow mafioso and then pinned the outright double crossing on an innocent townie either.

Think about it. The outright double cross followed by a set up?

I'm just sayin...

[jeckles]

Dude...

I'm not even sure I follow that.

[mango]

In Adam's scenario, cheeseman's voting patterns make me, Adam and you look suspicious.

In Adam's double cross scenario cheeseman and I are mafia, and at the last second I screwed him over to make myself look like a townie.

ANOTHER scenario could be that cheeseman and Adam are mafia. Adam's switch from monogodo to cheese_man made everything a four way tie. It would appear to be innocent, especially knowing that in a four way tie monogodo would get lynched, and Adam would protect his identity by having a separate voting pattern than cheese_man should an investigation ensue. Once that plan went horribly wrong, Adam is now trying to make me look like a mafia that double crossed cheese_man.

But the simplest explanation is that you are mafia. Cheese_man didn't vote for you, and everyone else (except Otto) can be reasonably explained.

I'm going for simple first. If I'm wrong, then Adam is as guilty as OJ. (Or I am, I suppose. But, I'm not)

[jeckles]

Ok... but I think you are over thinking this. I think that Adam is suspect, but I'm not sure when Mal got off the hook; all she did last round was let her head slide out of the noose while people jumped from Deb to Mono and then to Bounty Hunting Cheese Dude.

Also re-reading that, mono seems guilty as heel to me.

I know it's not me, not that you'll buy that, but it is what it is. For some reason I don't think you are mafia. I'm assuming Otto isn't cause... well just cause.

That leaves Mal, Mono and Adam.

Going with the idea that the simplest answer is the best, I choose Mal.

[mango]

Why the others are off the hook:

1. Mal got off the hook when cheese_man voted for her first, and then was later found to be mafia.
2. Monogodo got off the hook when cheese_man (later mafia) piled on and tried to lynch him.

Why you are a suspect:

cheese_man seemingly voted for everyone except me, you and Adam.

Why I'm not a suspect:

Because it's my theory.

Why Adam is a suspect:

He brought up the double cross, and is especially adamant about it. It's way too complicated a theory given what has happened to date, and I think he feels insecure, and would like everyone to say how smart he is. It also has the added benefit of framing me.

But, I don't believe that this is happening. Previous results have shown that not nearly this much thought is placed on anything. It's usually hunches, WAGs and paranoia. I don't think that game 7 will be any different.


And Otto... yeah.

[jeckles]

All of that makes sense. Except for the part about me.

Unlynch: Malfouka
Vote to Lynch: Adam

Current tally:
Jeckles-2
Adam-1

What part of "I'm not sold on it" and me voting to lynch Jeckles amounts to me being "especially adamant" about it? I threw it out there as a possible theory, I never even hinted that I thought it was definitely what was going on. And then, I voted with you. If it's not what you're up to then you have nothing to worry about. If anyone is adamant about bringing it up, it's you.

Fuck you. For that to be the case everyone's opinion would have to matter.

I only follow the opinion of Slate. I've been searching their archives, and can find nothing that helps me figure out for whom to vote. I'm going to have to do a bit more digging before voting.
