Open 437: Town of Semi-Nightless Plots (Game Over)

[Equinox]

The old don sat behind his desk, his hand holding a broken glass. Sometime forever ago, he had slammed it down in fury and spilled all of his beloved wine when he had heard the news from his subordinates. They were new hires, fresh off the street, and the thing that they had to screw up was this, the most important shipment. He sighed deeply and glanced down at the varied papers set in front of him. Balance sheets, inventory, invoices, and notes of different sizes were gathered here, but the one that caught his attention was a short, typed memo, stating only that the ammunition he had ordered would be delayed by two nights.

Two nights! Did they not see how critical those two nights could be? He had been so careful in teaching them to get their goods transported as quickly as possible, too. On the other hand, he supposed, they were new goons; mistakes were inevitable. The town to which he would be sending them was a quiet one, he had assured them, and it would not take much force to subjugate its citizens. Without the guns, however, that task would be much harder. He raised his glass to drink it but sipped at nothing. That was all right. All he could do now, drunk as he was, was to await news of success. Anything less would not be acceptable.

Rules

All rules listed in the Boilerplate Game Rules (rev. October 6, 2011) page apply to this game except where contradicted in the additional rules below:

1. Do not use
   #BF0000
   . All other formatting is fair game.
2. Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 48 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
3. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond in the game thread before a replacement is sought. Saturday and Sunday will be considered a 24-hour period.
4. Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, the Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
5. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in twilight phase until the thread is locked, at which point Day ends. Dead players may not post until the game has been officially declared over.
6. Actions not received by deadline will be considered forfeit. Actions may be submitted ahead of time and can be changed as many times as desired; at deadline, the last action that was submitted will be used. Actions may be submitted via PM or QuickTopic.
7. Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
8. Any situations not covered above will be handled on an individual basis.

Setup

The 11-player semi-Nightless open setup is a vanilla ("mountainous") setup consisting of 9 townies and 2 mafiosi where the mafia cannot kill for the first two Nights.

[Sisterman]

VOTE: ProsecutorGodot

Overdoing it. Real vote. Jokephase has been slain by me.

[funkybike1]

VOTE: Sisterman
Back to jokephase.

[Sisterman]

sorry bud. there's no joking around now. it's do or die. lynch godot or lose the game.

[ProsecutorGodot]

There's 5 of us who have posted out of 11 players at this point. Care to explain how you can form a serious vote when the majority of the players in this game haven't gotten a single word in?

[Sisterman]

I don't need six other people to post words to analyze your words to know that you are scum. Not to mention that the majority of the players who HAVE posted have just posted nothing. words that mean nothing. So I'm not sure why I would expect anything from the rest of these jokers. Oh, also? I'm the ghost cop. yeah. there's that.

[ProsecutorGodot]

So we haven't left the jokephase after all. In that case, it's chainsaw time.

[Sisterman]

sorry, no. it's not a joke. the ghost cop thing is a joke. you dying today is not a joke.

[Voidedmafia]

The seriousness here...It's choking...

[Sisterman]

Mafia is a serious game. It's like a courtroom. which is a serious place. And I'm the judge, jury, and executioner. Godot overdid his joke in his first post, a clear scumtell, to anyone with superior aarryyaan scumfinding abilities, and then makes a defensive post which actually doesn't make any sense. there's no reason for a bunch of people not having posted things like "i'm choking on the seriousness of this game" to be a factor in anyone's vote. especially not when it's a vote as good as this. in conclusion, kill that guy.

[Voidedmafia]

...I don't think I really understood what you just said.

[Sisterman]

You'll understand once the coffeeman is six feet under and the game is half won.

This is me, seriously RVSING

If you were RVSing you wouldn't have put the third vote on someone.

Are you being serious?
You come in and say that you are RVSing but you place the third vote on someone.
You come in and say you are RVSing but quote a post that could be considered scummy. (BTW I don't think it's scummy, just sayin it could be taken that way.)

Then when I vote you, you OMGUS me?

You're blatantly covering yourself right their, so keeping my vote on you. Only scum suspect I got right now.
Why isn't Sisterman's post scummy?

Who says bandwagoning is bad in RVS?

@Seiklops: You quoted a post, so obviously your vote wasn't RVS. That should have been established in your next post.
You should tell everyone why you think a Sisterman wagon is good, because I DON'T believe you were attempting a random vote.

Sisterman = prob town
While I don't agree with his Godot push ('one post scumfound' lolz) it's nice contenty reactionary stuff right there.

Why isn't Sisterman's post scummy?

I've got a better idea, friend. How about instead of posing the question "Why isn't Sisterman's post scummy," which could be deflected in eight thousand ways, all of them town, you posit why the post IS scummy, so that I don't have to post all eight thousand things for you to see the light.

[Sisterman]

Actually, you said in your first vote on me that you were randomly voting. But now you're trying to say that, no, it wasn't random at all, my post was actually scummy. I agree with the guy whose name is hard to type. Is my post scummy or is it not, and are you randomly voting or not? I'd like an explanation, sealman. Lest you get the "club"
