Dante's Action Hero Mafia

Scum would have EVERY reason to cast the clinch vote they were certain one of their number was going down, and wanted to help their appearance as Town.

They killed two of us Night Two, so there is clearly a killing ability other than the traditional Night Kill such as (/me searches mafiascum) executioner. Okay, that’s a stretch, but it could also be something town or third-party like serial killer or vigilante. I’m starting to lean toward a vigilante townie that accidentally town killed.

I think commuting could work to both prevent the NK and to stop an ability from being used at night. As such, the results of a no-kill not 100% vindication of Astral, but the lack of likely night killing mafia roles moves Astral a lot closer to confirmed town. It’s also possible that commuting him prevents the NK and he’s scum, but that’s not how I read it traditionally. Dante could spin it to work that way though.

Astral do you have anything to add? You’ve been verbose previous days.

From Tomba’s post 351:

This is exactly what happened last night. Tomba’s claimed to be Riggs. It is not a scum kill.

**MOD NOTE **

OK, first of all, Good Morning players.

Second, there appears to be a little bit of confusion amongst some players. Now I don’t want to give
away anything, but then again, I’m aware that my modding style is a little different than what you are used to here. So, with that being said, here are a couple clarifications.

A Town character in the narrative is Blue and Scum are Red. In regards to last night’s death of John McClane, let me just say that the Scum were not involved.

Now in regards to the Frank Martin character, I did use a variant on the Commuter role ability. A Commuter can take themselves out of play for the evening so that nothing can be done to them. I chose to change it up a bit to fit the character and so I made it a Transporter. In this case, Frank will take a player out of play for the night instead of himself. Taking that player out of play means they can’t be targeted but also they cannot target anyone else for that night.

I will say no more at the risk of overstepping the lines of fairness.

Also, here is the Vote Count as of 11am EDT.

Sario - 4 (Mahaloth, Hooker Chemical, Professor Pepperwinkle, WF Tomba)
There are 4 votes required for a lynch. The Day ends on Monday, tomorrow, at 7pm EDT.
Play on, players!

And sangfroid voted for Sario in post 458. But it was easy to miss.

Boy, won’t Sario be surprised when he returns.

Correct, Professor. Thanks.

Sario - 5 (Mahaloth, Hooker Chemical, Professor Pepperwinkle, WF Tomba, Sangfroid )

Carry on, my wayward sons.

Weekends are a busier time for me. I’m checking in now just before football starts, and I’ll be back later tonight because who cares about the 7:30 Giants-49ers game? Not this guy!

For now, VOTE SARIO. I find the current bevy of claims believable, but I’d like to revisit some posts. After the football games, I’m going to go back and reconsider the entire game and decide where I think we should go from here. I’d suggest we all do the same, because we need to nail this, and every subsequent lynch, from now on. There is a lot of day left, and I think we need to do a better job of questioning everything. WF Tomba has the right attitude.

More to come later! Hope you guys enjoy reading books.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Ah. Got it. My mistake. Sucks to lose the cop that way, especially after the deputy mis-lynch.

Well, at the time I was under the impression that Astral was undeniably Town. That left you, sangfroid and Hooker to be the obvious scum.

Since Tomba showed me that’s not necessarily true, one of the four of you are Town. However, since Mahaloth saw you in the Night doing a Roleblocker activity, and since in Dante’s description Theo was doing something special in the night, it is not to much of a stretch to infer that you are Theo. Hence, the vote.

Of sangfroid, Astral and Hooker, who looks the most town to you?

I’m thinking Hooker, but I can be persuaded otherwise.

All things considered, I think I’ll take this opportunity to bow out.

Thanks for the game Dante, its been a lot of fun.

So long, Sario, it really has been good having you around!

Then I suggest we just end the Day. We have obviously caught scum.

Ah, but we have a whole day to discuss which of the remainder are scum.

**MOD NOTE **

We’ll, it’s true that a lynch is secured but I am currently posting on my phone until tomorrow afternoon, and I’d rather post a lynch narrative on a computer. I will end the day earlier though.

The Day will end tomorrow by 3pm EDT. Until then, continue discussion as you were.

It could be literary dressing. I’ve been going back and forth on that. We just can’t be sure.

I wish I knew what our Cop did on Night 1. Too bad I killed him! :smack:

(Aside: Even if we manage to win, this is turning out to be a pretty dark, existentialist action movie, Dante. :cool:)

I’m wondering who the last action hero is, and why nobody’s claimed the role yet.

This is good. I don’t want the day to end before I’ve had a chance to finish revisiting the thread. Today ended up busier than I expected, and I’m not going to get a chance to finish with a comprehensive post tonight.
