Evil Dead Mafia II - Teaser and Sign-Ups [Game On!]

Something I think worth mentioning is that the book is evil. I’d put solid odds on some of the beneficial-sounding pages to be terrible in actual effect. There’s no real way to second-guess the WIFOM there, since we’d be playing against the moderator, not the scum, but I thought I’d throw that out there.

@brewha:
If we lynched NAF, I think he’d be revealed as whatever he actually is. I’m working entirely off memory, but I think he said the miller thing only applies to investigative powers. Of course, this is assuming he’s telling the truth.

1162

Story, do you plan to ever not truthfully and fully reveal the alignment of a player upon death?

Let’s just take that question totally out of play.

1163

Any alignment or role reveals made by the moderator will be 100% accurate.

INT – THE CABIN KITCHEN, NIGHT

*We see Chipacabra enter the kitchen, evidently on an important late-night mission. He moves stealthily down the stairs, into the kitchen, and glances suspiciously over each shoulder. Close on his eyes: they show a look of grim determination.

After a moment, he moves toward the refrigerator, opens it, and pulls out two bottles of Miller Lite.*

CHIPACABRA
Sweet.

*He pops open one of the bottles, drinks deeply. *

CHIPACABRA
Mission accomplished.

Suddenly, he looks up, at something or someone in the shadows of the kitchen.

CHIPACABRA
Who’s there?

Recognizing the interloper.

Oh. It’s you. What are you doing down here? Wait… you’re one of them, aren’t you? Those demon sons of bitches! Leave me alone! Don’t hurt me! I’m too good looking to die this early in the film!

*Seen only in shadow, the interloper raises a hand, points past Chipcacabra. His eyes widen… and suddenly a long spike bursts from his chest – he has been stabbed from behind. His mouth fills with blood, and he pitches forward with a thud. As quickly as it came, his attacker retreats into the darkness, even as the third occupant of the kitchen flees in the opposite direction.

CUT TO – the following morning. The group has gathered around Chipacabra, who has definitively not transformed into anything scaly or creepy. *

MRS. MCGINTY
Poor guy.

TOTAL LOST
This is bad news.

MHAYE
(Says nothing, because he’s dead, too.)

Chipacabra, The Complete A-Hole, Who Was Pro-Town (Martyr) has been Night killed.

MHaye, The Unctuous Plastic Surgeon, Who Was Pro-Town (Vanilla) has been, as well.

Day Two begins now, and will end at around 5:00PM on Saturday, October 16. Happy Scum-hunting!

PS - Please bear with me on your end-of-Night PMs. There are a lot, and they will take a few minutes.

1165

Ok, Oy! and **NAF **what did you do and what did you find out?

1166

What was the Martyr role?

NAF, did you use the book? What happened?

1167

NAF, you get anything, then, with your Night Curse action? Is it something that benefited you? Not that you’ve died, so it couldn’t have been anything bad (yet).

Scum are not the only killers in this game, it seems.

1168

Yikes. Two deaths. Third party or a vig. Am I forgetting any other possibilities?

1169

I protected someone. I don’t know if it had any impact or not, but that person is not dead.

1170

There’s also the possibility of a Scum Strong Man, IIRC.

1171

I assume the Martyr can sacrifice himself to save another person from being lynched?

1172

In Evil Dead 1, there was the following role developed but not used:

[QUOTE=storyteller0910 in Evil Dead 1]

Welcome to the game; you are the Complete A-Hole

ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Martyr
WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished, and there is no chance of an exclusive win for any third-party.

BACKGROUND:

Yeah, you’re that guy. Arrogant, cocky, and not half as funny as you think, you’re probably played by Matthew Lillard and your go-to facial expression is a dismissive sneer. While your peers were learning about the Bay of Pigs in Eleventh Grade History, you were getting your Master’s Degree in Wedgie Administration. A party isn’t a party unless you’re there near closing time, stinking of beer and failure, trying to score with the last eligible female left at the party but failing because she turns out to be the end table.

You’re a Complete A-Hole in a horror movie. Your life expectancy can be measured in fly crap. Whether the villain is a toxic waste monster, a masked madman, or a robot pumpkin from outer space, it is assured that you will, sooner or later, find yourself on the business end of a dripping claw, butcher knife, or ass-generated laser beam. You can’t survive; you were put in this movie to die.

The only question now is, how will you die? Peacefully, in your sleep, like your grandpa? Kicking, screaming, and wetting yourself, like the passengers in grandpa’s car? Or will you pull together a tiny bit of dignity and become the Complete A-Hole Who Earns a Measure of Redemption by Dying for His Friends, Thus Earning a Slow Motion Montage to the Soothing Strains of Enya?

Let’s find out, shall we?

POWERS:

  1. Once per Night, you will select one other player to protect. If your target is targeted by any party (or parties) for a Night kill, you will die instead.

  2. We know what you’re thinking: What the fuck? Really? That’s it? That’s my whole power? Dying? That sucks. OK, stop being such a complete A-hole; there’s a bit more. If you die because somebody gets sick of you and stabs you in the eye, or because the rest of the partygoers decide to set you on fire, then you’ll be dead without dignity, you’ll win or lose with the rest of the Town, and you’ll be given an express ticket to the spoiler forum. However: if you die protecting another, you will be revived as a Benevolent Spirit With Wisdom to Impart, and will be given a chance to lend additional help to your friends from beyond the grave.

Two deaths. Blah. Nice knowing you, Chipa and Mhaye.

Upon some googling, a Martyr is a redirector who takes a target’s powers onto him/herself, maybe?

1174

Martyr sounds like a bodyguard.
**
NAF**, how does you plan account for this:

As I said before I don;t mind experimenting with the book but I favor you or anyone who does it to return or pass it after a cycle or so.

1175

Back to a thought I had before being interrupted by Dawn:

How about a compromise with regards to the Book? What if NAF keeps it until we have a Townie who is confirmed and is willing to take the possession of the book? That way NAF can get (probably) several Nights of trying out the Powers, the book stays with a player we know has it, and we can learn what it does so as to use it to its best Town potential later in the game.

Except what if…

If a Player returns the Book to the Pedestal during the Day is it up for grabs during that same Day?

1176

As Natlaw just pointed out, it’s bad for anyone to keep the book for too long.
Bad for Town if a Townsperson keeps it because in a few days they die…so Town loses a member.
And it would be seen bad for scum as well, in their opinion, so they’d obviously want a fellow scum to pass it on.

No matter what side you’re on, you don’t want to hold the book for too long. This is why I’m continuing to say I think it should continue being returned with a new person taking it each time.

1177

Well my plan had a flaw. The book was taken from me last night. I’m posting from my phone more when I get to a computer.

1178

I see that **NAF **is online, but hasn’t posted anything yet. It’s possible he has cursed himself with a post restriction for Today.

Also:

Vote Count please?

1179

Never mind!

1180

That was unexpected.

When you say you will post “more”, are we to assume you mean you have additional information about the theft of the book beyond “someone took it”?
