Mafia: The Conspiracy

Bolding mine.

I completely agree.

Not true. See bolded part, above. Especially concerning Zombification.

From the rules:
Vigilante: each Night may kill any one Player, including Vampires.

Just to clarify

From the rules:

Yes they are.

The vig is the only role that can nightkill a Vampire.

He must be armed with a stake or something.

If the Vig is very sure, and the rest of the town is as well, then the target is going to be lynched anyway.

If the Vig is very sure, but the rest of the town isn’t, then we’re dealing with a loose cannon.

About the only time this Vig is going to really be of use is if we wind up in a situation where we know for certain who two scum are, and can kill them both in one night. Barring another incident like in Sekham, I don’t see that happening too often.

I’m happy with my vote.

Or if there are no Vigs.

You know, Hockey, the rules say the Vig can kill the Vampire… :wink:

As a last minute piece of advice, our investigators should probably hold off on investigating OAOW until they see whether he survives the first night. A delay of one extra won’t hurt, I don’t think.

So does anyone else find Pleonast’s prediction of board outage just a little…suspicious?

Of course, the votes are OAOW 6, No vote 3, so he’s not going to survive the Day, let alone the night. :smack:

The first Day after the much lamented Mayor Cecil was found dead, the village of Cecilwich went to work trying to track down the culprits. The Day started with some teamwork and planning, but spiraled into recriminations when it was realized there wasn’t much to go on. Various candidates were proposed for a bout of neck-stretching justice, with several villagers claiming to have essential functions and be beyond reproach.

The decision was hampered by a freak blizzard, preventing a proper accounting of votes, but justice waits for no one. As the Sun set slowly, One and Only Wanderers was left standing alone on the gallows. Stoically, the Village sent him to his doom, hoping that the decision was just.

One and Only Wanderers has been lynched. A frantic search through the Town archives begins, trying to find any shred of evidence of his true identity.

Night has fallen.

Actually, I’d strongly disagree with that sentiment.

Look, I actually played a different version of the Vig. And even though I had correctly identified at least one scum, I second guessed myself and killed a strong town player (and mason to boot) during the one Night I was able to use my power.

The thing is, I was aware of the high probability of a miss on my part (that is, that I would hit town on my first attempt). Your case is even worse. Not only is there a high chance that you’ll hit town on your first attempt, but if you do, you’ll have to kill yourself anyway the Night after that has been revealed.

  1. You increase the number of corpses available to the Necromancer
  2. You dilute the pool of options available to the Vicar (the less Players die, the higher the chance the Vicar will block the Necromancer’s efforts)
    To boot, your actions aren’t readily verified (you “may” target anyone)… and if you are falsely claiming, you can always say you tried to kill someone and were blocked. At worst you’re the false-claiming vampire…

I assume that now that it is after 3pm we are no longer allowed to strategize or post anything but fluff?

Here’s hoping he is scum and that we didn’t just kill Buffy.

I guess **sachertorte ** can tell us in the morning to prove/disprove his role.

Well crap. I thought the role claim was worth investigating but it’s too late now…

Looks like Pleonast is taking care of recording the post number with the vote counts, so I won’t be doing that this game. :slight_smile:

Damn. I never realized how into this game I would get till the boards went down. This is awesome!

I can’t believe I forgot -twice- what color I was supposed to vote in. And now that we don’t even know what side the lynchee is on, I don’t know whether to drink to celebrate, or drink to mourn our loss.

Not that I’ve ever been one to shy away from drinking to drink. Bottoms up!

Yeah, this delayed info thing is going to drive me crazy. Pleonast, you are a true sadist!

Yep, it’s Night now. Only fluff posts, please.

Sorry about the board outage. :cool:

Think of the delayed reveal as the cliff-hanger at the end of each episode. We got to get the page-views up!
