All was quiet in the town of Liquiville. The sleepy town had never been one which dabbled in the troubles of bigger cities and was content to live a simple country life. The moon was high in the sky with the light filtering through the windows of the village folk when the silence was broken by a shrill sharp yell. Confused, two of the village folk went out to investigate the strange noises. Their search lead them to the Emperor’s Palace, a find they wished they could just forget. As they stepped through the gates they saw a sight which resembled a bloody battle. The bodyguards were strung up on lines like a human clothes line. Blood spilling from their gored bodies and pooling on the ground. The two forced themselves to continue on, for the sake of the town. They tread through the blood and into the inner palace. Little did Camlito and Ace know that this foolish move would be their last. As they entered, a bomb went off to their right, sending a pillar crashing down on top of the poor innocent townies. Both were flattened into human pancakes. The events at the Palace were not yet through for the night. Plexa, the Emperor, had heard the noises, seen his Bodyguards brutally tortured and murdered and heard the explosion down stairs. He knew that whoever the intruders were, they were after him. Fortunately Plexa’s Palace was well equipped with hiding places after his Uncle’s erratic fear of giant spiders. It was not difficult for him to completely conceal his presence in the room. Two men were rummaging around in a room nearby, where exactly he could not tell. The sounds came closer and closer and very soon they were in the same room as him. He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device. Their plan became immediate to him, they were going to blow his palace up with him inside. The two began setting the device while Plexa buried himself in his hiding place. “Wait” said one of them. Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. The man pulled the trigger. The Emperor was dead. Dawn broke, and the cry of the countless vultures overhead woke the villagers from their slumber. The smell of death filled the air and immediately they all knew their quiet little village would stay quiet no longer. Amongst the ruins of the Palace the village found the body of their beloved Emperor as well as the bodies of his fallen guards. There was a note posted on the town gallows which read “We will not rest until every last villagers is dead. You will all pay for what you have done to me”. The town was confused at this note, but knew what they must do. A new Emperor must be elected, one prepared to fight the Mafia insurgence and save the town from brutal slaughter. I tried to bold the parts that stood out for me as extra info that didn't add anything to the story but could be seen as clues and I tried to italic the parts that said something about the diffirent mafia members. With red hearrings in there and little to act on day 1 is to early to hunt for clues really, but I am gonna try to use this for further reference. At first BC seemed like the logical choice to vote in as Mayor, but the strange 'conversation' he had with Heavenonearth a few pages back worried me a little bit. All of sudden they went from arguing that one of them three (L, BC or Heavenonearth) had to be the godfather to one (Heavenonearht) of the two supporting the other (BC). I'll abstain for now, but probably change my vote later on, with L being the best candidate for me right now. I agree that fog is the best choice for the first day, but I don't agree with spamming throughout the entire game. For now I voted fog though. | ||

I'd volunteer myself since I am townie, but I can still get the BG role and then it would be a waste. As for the mayor vote, I'm still not sure of the alignment of the people running for office, so I will abstain for this first vote and just go with what the majority of the town thinks. | ||

One BG and greens, we could have been more unlucky. More to come later on (after Top Gear). | ||

Liquiville prided itself on it’s cheese, after all it was Liquiville’s primary export. The Cheese factory lay on the outskirts of the village and operated around the clock manufacturing cheese. Four members of the Mafia congregated outside of the factory and planned to butcher the occupants and ruin the towns economy. The Mafia entered the building and split up; two travelled alone while two travelled together. The first headed straight for the control room. His quickened walk looked almost arrogant as he kept his eyes peeled for any sign of resistance. The Mafioso burst through the control room door and Shikyo leapt from his chair in shock. Disappointed that there was only one occupant, the Mafioso sighed and punched Shikyo in the gut, causing him to fall face first onto the ground. Standing above Shikyo, the Mafioso opened fire on his head. By the end of the incident there was more metal inside of Shikyo’s head than organic material. Satisfied with a job well done, the Mafioso signalled to his colleagues that the Control Room was secure. The team of two got to work right away sabotaging the Cheese factory. As one sprinkled fox glove seeds all over the cheese, the tall lanky one kept vigilant in case security was alerted. Elemenope had been alerted to their activities moments ago upon hearing the prolonged roar which had come from the control tower, which then prompted him to look outside his window which overlooked the entire factory. As a security guard for the factory, he knew it was his responsibility to protect the exports at all cost. He launched himself out of the window towards the two saboteurs in hopes to catch them by surprise. However the lanky one was well aware of what was going on. A simple sidestep was enough to have Elemenope come crashing to the floor, immediately the other Mafioso tied him up and strapped a bomb to his chest. No one was able to help Elemenope before the timer ran out. There was one matter left to attend to – the destruction of the secret Liquiville Cheese recipe. The task was left to Mr Julia, a newcomer to the Mafia but nonetheless determined to carry out his orders. Mr Julia had a nack for working out combinations and he had cracked the safe within seconds. He wasted no time in burning the recipe with his lighter. “What are you doing!!” cried fishball, startling Mr Julia and causing him to accidentally burn himself on the recipe. fishball watched in horror and amazement as Mr Julia’s burn wound began to change colour and pulsate. “Look what you’ve done!” exclaimed Mr Julia who came lunging at fishball. fishball fended Mr Julia’s first few blows off, but each blow became more erratic and powerful. It wasn’t long until Mr Julia landed a punch square on fishball’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Mr Julia pounced on fishball and eventually turned fishball into a bloody pulp. Even though fishball was dead, Mr Julia could not stop and eventually, after his body began to pulsate, he passed out. Four Mafia had entered, but only three had returned to the exit. All three of them instantly knew what had happened to Mr Julia and rushed over to the safe room to bring him back home. vivi57 was the last security guard on duty and was know well aware that the place had been hit by the Mafia. He was hiding around a corner, near the safe room, hoping the Mafia would leave him be. However, the instant the 3 Mafia passed the corner he was struck down by a large faintly warm object. He fell to the ground dazed and confused, but could make out 3 fuzzy shapes leaving with some kind of psychedelic object draped over one of their backs. The three Mafia noted that he was still alive and opened fire on vivi57 – the sheer intensity of the bullets severed vivi57’s body in two. Meanwhile in Liquiville’s most holy temple a Priest was channeling all his rage and hate into the corpse of the recently deceased MrBabyHands. Uncertain of what his fate would be, the Priest knew in his heart that whatever the outcome, MrBabyHands must walk again for the sake of the town. The resurrection had begun. So far, four or five mafia members have been revealed. We have the two which seem to work as a pair. The tall, lanky one and his partner, who is the bomb expert. They work together, although the tall, lanky one has not killed anyone so far, they have killed everyone with an explosive device. Quite a lot is revealed about Mr. Julia. He is new to the mafia (a first time player?). He is a safe cracking expert and, I might be mistaken, but I believe there could be something wrong with his body, considering his reaction to getting burned and him passing out when kicking his victim. As all three other members instantly knew what had happened, I think this is a clue as well. Then there is fourth members. Not a whole lot is revealed. He has a quickened arrogant looking walk, so we might be looking for a more experienced player here. It could be that the person killing Plexa in the first post is the same one as the fourth member. They both use guns and because he sneaked up to Plexa, that could be a sign of experience as well. This could also be the fifth member. I think the cheese factory is a clue, it is such a strange setting. It probably won't be obvious, because it would be too big a clue, but I believe there is something there. I've bolded other things that I think could be clues as well. I'll look into clues more tomorrow and try to make connections then, but I believe it will still be hard with only two posts to work on. For now, it is time for bed though. | ||

Now, some other things that I noticed, this could ofcourse be completely false (I don't have a history of good clue hunting), but perhaps something to consider. The first headed straight for the control room. His quickened walk looked almost arrogant as he kept his eyes peeled for any sign of resistance. The Mafioso burst through the control room door and Shikyo leapt from his chair in shock. Disappointed that there was only one occupant, the Mafioso sighed and punched Shikyo in the gut, causing him to fall face first onto the ground. Standing above Shikyo, the Mafioso opened fire on his head. By the end of the incident there was more metal inside of Shikyo’s head than organic material. Satisfied with a job well done, the Mafioso signalled to his colleagues that the Control Room was secure. This could(!!) be applied to BC himself. He walks arrogantly, as BC has done this game, promoting that he is an experienced player and that he should get the votes. He walks straight into the control room and takes control of it, like he has taken control of the town. Also, while there could be truth in his YDG explanation, he has been feeding us with diffirent suspects after the second post and with most explanations given for those I don't agree. I also don't agree with the fog decision but more on that later. Mr. Julia as the pulsating man could be a clue towards BWDero profile picture. In it is a picture of a man 'pulsating' with lighting, so that could be a clue towards him. The bomb man and the tall, lanky man are hard to find for me, but I'm a pretty sure they are clues. Perhaps we are looking for two friends, or two people who agree a lot with each other in this thread (although they would have to do that before the day 1 post, because they were working as a team already in that post). The method of killing everyone with a bomb could be a clue as well ofcourse. France, Switzerland and perhaps the Netherlands as well are countries famous for their cheese. The cheese factory is such a strange setting I do believe there is a clue there. Finally (for now at least), I think we should vote rain as the weather choice. Mrbabyhands as a proven townie around who we can gather the remaining town is a pretty big thing, considering he is such a good player. Therefor I don't think we should take the risk of the mafia finding out who the priest is and sending the suicide bomb after the priest. Fog reduces their kill power by one, but a good lynch will do the same time. I'm not sure who to lynch right now, but will vote later today and make a new post then. | ||

Also, with rain and a bit of luck, we can reduce the mafia killing power as well. | ||

I'm still voting rain. I don't like taking the risk that mafia found out who the priest is. They could even be throwing us off by lynching badly in the first night to make us believe they are not good in clue analyzing. So I'd rather take the risk that we have a medic who found out who the priest and not loose MBH, than to just hope the mafia haven't found out. Also, because the rules state: If the weather is Rainy, you may select two targets to protect or protect the same target twice. This means that with a bit of luck we can reduce mafia kill power as well. BC, the more you post the less I am starting to like it. I'm not advocating you are mafia (now), but behavioural analyzis combined with what could be a clue in the day 2 post should have everyone be wary at least. The same goes for some other vocal people though, even if they are arguing against you (and should go for me as well, don't trust anyone but MBH really). I suppose I should be happy that our mafia enemies are more intent on playing Alphabet Soup than Mafia This could just as easily be a coincidence. But if it is true it could also show that the mafia are so confident that they just lynched like that, because they have such good players they aren't worried by the town's efforts at al so far. So don't let this or there lynching lure you into a false sense of confidence that we as the town are or have better players than they do. As for truthbringer, I agree that he is probably our best target for now. But I also think that if it is true he has been handed to us on a silver platter, perhaps too easy. So while I don't see a diffirent target that makes more sense, I doubt it will be this easy. That said, abstaining is always too easy because once we loose everyone can lay the blame elsehwere. So I am voting truthbringer. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Role confirmed. Sunny will be handy later if both our assassins are alive and we have some good suspects. Rain could be decent if both our angels are still alive and mafia lose some of their men. Snow, we'll just decide how well we like Plexa's clues and that will influence whether or not we use snow. Fog is the safest way to start, reduce mafia KP at start, so fewer people die on the first turn. I am on board with future lynches going after inactives. I've seen games end because even though the town had enough people to win, nobody voted to lynch the mafia, they were just all inactive. Inactives only hurt the town, not the mafia. An inactive mafioso still gets his hits ordered by the godfather, but an inactive townie doesn't do any good. Is it worth analyzing on priest so that an angel can protect him or should we just hope the mafia don't figure out who he is? The large faintly warm object seems to be Mr. Julia, one of the mafia guys. He is also described as psychedelic. He is good at combinations, and he cracked the safe. He got startled and his burn wound changed color and pulsated. He went into a crazed assault and then passed out pulsating. There is a LOT of info on Mr. Julia. I understand your point. But if we leave it alone . . . the mafia are more likely to figure out who the priest is than the 2 angels. Anyways, other people can throw in their opinions on the subject. About the priest analysis debate . . . angels/medics have been notoriously bad at protecting the right targets. And people were talking about using rain to allow the angels to protect the priest and avoid him getting suicide bombed. I just figured that as it stands, it is much more likely the mafia would figure out who the priest is and kill him than the two angels. The plan to claim to MBH only works if the priest lives long enough to revive him. And FFS, I didn't start clue analyzing on the priest, I brought up for discussion whether or not we should clue analyze on the priest.

Al the people not voting YDG or Truthbringer are suspicious imo, because they are staying away from the vote lists that will most likely be checked. It was a strategy we used when I was mafia. So if possible, could those people explain their votes. | ||

[quote]Upon going back to their houses in preparation for the night, araav felt the urge to consume some food. Sitting down at his dinner table with a fresh wedge of cheese he knew his craving would be fulfilled. Unfortunately, someone had screwed up at the cheese factory and the wedge was coated in poisonous fox glove seeds. araav fell to the floor dead within minutes of consuming the food. As luck would have it, a newcome had just entered the town upon hearing the news of mafia attacks. Caller took residence in araav's old house seeing as there was now no living occupant for the building.[/quote[ Are you gonna rewrite Araav's clues now so they fit Caller then? | ||

He voted BC (whom I still don't trust, sorry) and YDG. Also, while he has been very active in the previous mafia's I played with him (making blogs etc.) he has hardly posted in this one, only posts explaining his inactivity. | ||

Besides that, there are no good clue's that keep repeated. Some got listed a few pages back and while they were good, there were quite a few and they came from two different mafia. They also didn't focus on one single character trait, but on a lot of different ones. I'm more interested in the 'bandwagon' (for the lack of a better word) that formed against motbob. Seven people saw it fit to vote for him, yet now, he is no longer mentioned at all and our attention has been switched towards Bockit and Faronel. Now I didn't like Faronel (nor Goodwill for that matter) from the beginning. Their profiles are empty, their names are meaningless when searching (at least untill someone came up with the lighthouse, which would fit the clue perfectly) and they have been quiet pretty much all game except for voting. So I'll be voting Faronel, but I still find it strange that, if he turns out to be mafia, he had (according to the vote lists in the thread) just an important vote as me, turning it 7/6 instead of 6/7. If he turns out to be mafia, Motbob perhaps should be a target for our assassin (I am voting Sunny). Otherwise the Bockit clues are pretty strong and our assassin should focus on him. | ||

Also perhaps interesting but unrelated, RebirthOfLegend never voted once but has been active in the past week (13 posts made, nothing in this thread though) and BWDero has not voted since 3 (but he only made one post in the past week). I've looked through all the profiles (that is where the clues from the 4 confirmed mafia came from) again as well as google/wikipedia their names and check for any written blogs, but I find clue's for pretty much everyone, so I will just with Chaoser and hope we at least get a pledge. | ||

Clasic was just temp banned for 2 weeks by Last Romantic. That account was created on 2009-01-15 05:53:48 and had 1144 posts. Reason: You've been warned eight goddamn times, and your entire post history still consists of trash mindless content-free quotes. You'd think after reading the updated Commandments a poster would be smarter than that. Something to note. I know am I green (and yes, I also know I am a bad green). As for arguing who to lynch next, I'll wait for the day post. | ||
