Mafia V: The Cult of Sekham

And how do you know it was not scum making the big stink?

I’m not liking this bullying and attempting to manage the vote at all, Queuing. Chastizing sachertorte voters and setting up your little list rubs me the wrong way. You haven’t been on my radar in this game yet, but you are now.

FOS: Queuing

Fair enough. It was a risk I knew when I decided to do it. I will answer any questions you want to ask me (in fact I would welcome more participation from you) tomorrow.

I am guessing that means you are not in favour of a tie?

Yes, I am in favor of a tie. And stuff the condecending attitude.
In fact, let’s expand your list a little.

unvote: Pygmy Rugger
vote: Queuing

Well that wouldn’t expand my list at all. My list was of just the top vote getters. This vote just gives me one.

Nor does it make it a tie. It in fact makes it harder for tie.

AMrussell: 5 votes.
PR: 3 votes
DC: 3 votes

There’s still a couple hours left. I’m not going anywhere.

I encourage anyone who comes in here in the next couple hours to put some votes on you. In fact, could a couple AMRussel voters change them to Queuing? That would give us a nice 4-way tie.

If not, I’ll change it back to PR.

Good, so you will do what you can to make it a tie? I don’t think I can stay up until 1am.

Yes.

What does a tie do again?

Extends the Day 12 hours.

Just got off work and made it through a flurry of 2 pages worth of posts…

Stupid roll-claims keep screwing with me. My scumdar is so fucked up right now, I don’t know what to think about anyone. But let’s go with what we were already thinking anyway.

unvote malacandra

My next target was going to be Pygmy Rugger anyway, so let’s go there and see if we can’t get closer to a tie at the front of the pack.

vote Pygmy Rugger

By the way… the Day was scheduled to end at 11pm, does Blaster Master’s post saying he’d do the Dusk around 12-1a extend the scheduled end of the Day? I was under the impression it was just a delay between the Day ending and the Dusk being posted.

BM, do any of the posts after 11pm count at this point? Do they continue to count up until you make the official Dusk post or a ‘this day has ended, Dusk coming soon’ post?

Myeh. I don’t want to risk the day ending with a vote on someone which will probably do no good today. I’ll be taking a good look at [q]Queuing** tomorrow, though.

unvote: Queuing
vote: Pygmy Rugger

Here’s what I have as of 2833

Unofficial Vote Count:

amrussell(5) - NAF1138, Queuing, Pygmy Rugger, Zeriel, Hockey Monkey
Pygmy Rugger(5) - FlyingCowOfDoom, Cookies, Fretful Porpentine, USCDiver, Zuma
DiggitCamara(3) - Idle Thoughts, amrussell, Kyrie Eleison
sachertorte(2) - DiggitCamara, MHaye
FlyingCowOfDoom(1) - Pleonast
There have been 16 votes out of 18 players alive (17 anticipated votes with sachertorte being absent toDay)

Yet to vote toDay: malacandra (what the hell?!)

This gives us a tie at the presumed end of the Day. However, I’m still not 100% sure votes changed or made after 11pm will count. Blaster Master does not appear to be online at this time to make a ruling or a Dusk post. Neither does malacandra seem to be around to make a vote.

From the original Rules Post (Post 4)

So we’re still a little in the dark (hehe) on when the official deadline is or if we are even in fact tied. If we are in a tie, then most of the 12 hour clock will be during the EDT night when a majority of players will be sleeping (including me in the next few minutes).

Truth be told, I’ve spent approximately 30 minutes formulating this post in the hopes that malacandra (or someone else) will come in and break the tie or that Blaster Master will come in and rule on the end of Days. But it looks like me, Pygmy and zuma are the only players around…

Oh well… guess I’ll hit submit

Any votes made after the deadline will count only if there was a tie at 11PM and the votes made afterward were for one of those in the tie. I will address this when I get my vote spreadsheet up to date which shouldn’t take too long.

Okay, I just realized my post earlier was a little unclear as it might have looked like I was possibly extending the Day. I meant it simply as a reminder that, though I wasn’t around to post the requested post counts the last day or two, I would make the time to do it tonight, if a few hours late. According to my vote count (which I will post presently), there was no tie at 11PM, so there will be no extension.

Yet another day of the trials had come and gone, but the Days activities were not without mark. The dunk-wagon very quickly grew in favor of Malacandra, but before it could gain too much steam, he claimed to be a Disciple of a renowned and powerful priest from a distant village. He claimed that he had followed the priest here in hopes that, though his powers were meager in comparison, perhaps he could assist him in some way. For the moment at least, the villagers seemed to believe him and redirected their attention elsewhere. And, in the end, it was the witty amrussell who was chosen.

He remained quiet, but visibly nervous as he was shackled and dragged toward the pool of water. As he came to the edge, he looked upon it with fear in his eyes, unwilling to take the final step on his own, until he was finally shoved in. With a grand display of flailing and hollering he plunged into the pool, and with hardly a hesitant moment, he quickly floated to the surface.

What!? Some sort of parlor trick. This was a whole mess of shenanigans, and somehow he’d come to center of their horrible games. No more! Before he could be wrested from the water, he pulled himself out and ran into the horrified crowd. He would find those responsible for voting for him, and he would slay them with the very shackles around his wrists.

It was only a moment before he spotted Zeriel among the spectators. As a wry smirk grew upon his face, he lunged for him. Yet, just as he was close enough to strangle him with the chains, the business end of a long sword, covered in fresh blood, emerged from his chest. A guard had stabbed him from behind, straight through the heart.

He collapsed to the floor. A weak scowl formed upon his face as he spoke his final words: “Your faiths will be the end of you all…”

amrussell, the Psychopath, has been killed.

*Note, the Psychopath is only activated through a Night kill attempt. Because he was dunked prior to his activation, he can win with the Town/Non-Believers.

The Night will end at 2:30 AM EDT on Sunday or when all Night instructions are received.

You foollls! I’l kil you al! Oh, how much fun would that have been. Obviously for the best from your point of view, but damn! Stil, that’s the price I pay for letting my wife use the computer for once.

Good luck town…

That could have been a lot worse, certainly. Pure luck’s the only way to nail the Psychopath, but the town has to be better off with the loose cannon out of the running.

Sorry I didn’t come in and vote when asked (post 2820) but while I was technically awake at 4am my time, it wasn’t by choice and I had no plans to fire up the computer.
