Final Day 4 Vote Count

4 Lt. Origen – (Dirge, Commify, PeaceBringer, inHimshallibe)

Not voting (2):

davidangelsummers, Lt. Origen

With 6 alive, it’s 4 to imprison

Day 4:
The short day opens with two down and one up. Andy Taylor is back in action. He says, “Hey, according to scene, Lt. Origen is scum!!!!” The rest of the town at a loss of what do to follows the commands. An expectedly disappointed Lt. Origen trudges to the cell.


Lt. Origen, Clara Belle Morrison - mafia goon, has been imprisoned. It is now night 5. Choices are due Friday 21st 6:00pm (EST).


Sigh, sorry to Lt. Origen. I shouldn’t have written the scene like that. It didn't implicate you at the time. But with Dirge coming back, it wasn’t fair to you. Sorry for the mod error everyone.

Night 5:
Crickets chirp quickly, nervous of what might transpire in the darkness. The grey clouds shielded the stars and moon from penetrating. Tears and joys would occur at the end of this night as many reflective folk from Mayberry cry and rejoice.

Dirge had been sold a shotgun with one bullet last night. “I’m not into shooting people. After all, I’m a sheriff without a gun. But times come when arms are necessary.” Andy, picking up his shotgun, headed out the door. He hadn’t had any good meals that day with the hospitalization of Aunt Bea. His stomach growled as he got into the squad car.

inHimshallibe, Otis Campbell, staggered out of his house. Since night 2, he had tasted the joys of booze. “Moon-shine is the best,” he blurted with a hick-up. He used to listen to people at night as to their intentions, but he couldn’t make sense of anything while drunk. Taking a whiskey bottle, he took another snort. He was on a mission tonight though. He traveled toward main street.

PeaceBringer, Alan Melvin, knew what he had to do. He grabbed his brass knuckles. “I’ll let that sheriff have it once and for all,” he said. He walked swiftly towards the courthouse, where he was sure Dirge was working late…

Dirge was in the courthouse, planning how he was to get close to his target of inHimshallibe. As he was dead in thought, the door slammed open. inHimshallibe stood there as drunk as a skunk. Otis muttered something, waving a whiskey bottle in the air. Andy (Dirge), shocked at how his target stumbled upon him, grabbed his shotgun without taking his eyes of Otis. Otis was off in Neverland when Andy pointed his shotgun at him. Suddenly, PeaceBringer stormed into the courthouse. Otis was awakened for his hallucination. Andy was so intent on inHimshallibe that he didn’t hear Alan enter the courthouse. As PeaceBringer neared Dirge, inHimshallibe slurred, “Hey don’t hurt my friend.” Dirge turned but it was too late. PeaceBringer stung him right in the forehead. But as he did, Dirge pulled the trigger in reaction. A bullet lodged the chest of inHimshallibe. Outraged and drunk, inHimshallibe in a last grasp, cracked the head of PeaceBringer with his whiskey bottle…
Commify and davidangelsummers meet at the town square. They are joined by no one else. Curious at the disappearances, they venture into the courthouse, where they find Dirge, PeaceBringer and inHimshallibe dead. “Oh, oh, oh,” says davidangelsummers, almost speechless. Commify slips out of his coat a whiskey bottle. Floyd looks back at Commify. His eyes widen as he sees the bottle. That is his last memory.


Dirge, Andy Taylor – Doctor/Cop, has been beaten-up
PeaceBringer, Alan Melvin – Serial Killer, has his head cracked
inHimshallibe, Otis Campbell – Mafia spy, has been shot

davidangelsummers, Floyd Lawsen – Townie, has been killed in endgame.

Mafia (Commify, Lt. Origen, and inHimshallibe) win!!!!!! Whiskey forever flows in Mayberry!!!!!! Congratulations to the mafia.

Mafia Spy – Otis Campbell

inHimshallibe :You are Otis, the lovable town drunk of Mayberry. As much as you love Mayberry, you love your whiskey more. Andy and Barney can never get you to snitch on where you get your gin. You get your drink from “help im a bug” and “Lt. Origen”, who are the moonshining mafia. They don’t know who are you, but know of you. You cannot talk at night to them. While you’re out on your own, each night, you can eavesdrop outside a player’s house to hear what’s said.

Serial Killer - Alan Melvin

PeaceBringer: You are the serial killer. The state police have brought you to Mayberry, but you broke out and decide to beat up everyone in the town, one person at a time. In addition to killing each night, I am giving you the choice of being immune to your first night kill attempt on your life or first lynch attempt on your life. You must specify which one you want with your night 1 killing choice, whom you beat up with bass knuckles.
You win when you’re the last one standing. Please confirm by pm.

Freelancer – Ernest T Bass

You hide in the hills, throwing rocks at people and saying, “You haven’t heard the last; of Ernst T Bass.” Your win condition is different than most players’. You are a freelancer. To win, you must be killed by scum (you don’t die the first time) and then lynched by the town after the kill. If you are killed twice or are lynched before being killed, you lose. If you aren’t killed then lynched, you lose. To aid you in scum killing you, you can throw a rock through a player’s window with a note. You can write what the note is to say; you will pm it with your choice of whose window to break. Your choice just knows their window was broken, but not who did it. Be creative in your note writing. You will be notified if the scum have killed you. Please confirm by pm.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to pm me,
Bk
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>6
Doctor/Cop – Andy Taylor

or
to investigative someone. You can only choose one per night. When you protect someone, the scum will see (if they try to kill that person) that you are there and will run away in fear. The scum are not told that you protected their kill option. When you investigative a player, you will learn that player’s character name. Also, once during the game, you can choose to travel to Mt. Pilot, where no one can reach you, including the mafia.
You win with the town of Mayberry. Please confirm by pm.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to pm me,

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask,

If you are lynched, the person who placed the final vote on you is immediately lynched because you are the super-saint. Also, you are a tag-a-long (aka searching mason) and like following people, but seem to have lost your buddy. You don’t like being by yourself, so you want to find your buddy to tag along wherever s/he goes. Each night, you can choose a player to see if s/he’s your buddy.
You win with the town of Mayberry. Please confirm by pm.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to pm me,

Your inventory (one of each):
>Shotgun with one bullet

>Medical bag
>Encyclopedia

>Toy truck
>Pecan pie mix
>Whiskey bottle
You win with the town of Mayberry.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to pm me,

Well, that'll teach me not to believe someone's roleclaim just because I know they're not mafia.

We spent the whole game trying to find the doc after our night 1 kill on PB failed. Seems it worked out for the best in the end. Thanks, PB!

Maybe we could have just voted in a bloc instead of lynching me, since the town couldn't get an actual majority unless we contributed. But since we thought there was a doc left, there was a chance that our nightkill would fail, and the vig/SK would almost certainly go for one of us. And I figured that fessing up would protect my teammates from being tempted to do anything suspicious. I'd been expecting a lynch ever since Foolster's death, anyway.

What did you guys think of the freelancer and super saint roles? They can be found at the Princeton site. The game only had one doc and a 1-shot for protection. Though, with the sk's night kill immunity and the spy activation, those would stop killings. One of those did Elnar in. IS was protected by Dirge night 2 when PB tried to kill him and the mafia activated inHim. Do you guys think I should have revealed roles before someone was brought back? What did you guys think of that mechanic?
I hope you all had fun.

Thanks for the game, I had fun. It's just frustrating for me to have played my night choices well and still loose so quickly. Question: How is it that the mafia spy was able to kill peacebringer?

Writing games is challenging, sometimes it isn't 'til the end that you get a complete picture of what you've created. The reviving mechanic fit nicely with the the people going to jail or the hospital theme. I do think that revealing the roles would have balanced the game better and there seemed no purpose to it, with all the power roles we needed more information.

I hope you can take the critiques because you did ask for our opinions.

As far as the "super saint" role it's neat and I wouldn't want to get the "freelancer" role myself it's just too different. In a game this size, with so many power roles those two got lost.

Dirge - no problem. I love feedback, whether postive or negative. If I can't take the critiques, I shouldn't be asking. I do see your points and they are good. I still it would have served the town better had the roles been revealed upon death.
I thought it extremely interesting when RNG gave MeMe the freelancer role. But it was not to be. I was hoping to see the super saint in action, but like most new roles (at least on mafiascum), they get taken out night 1.
Oh, when the mafia spy was activated (night after), he could kill or do nothing. He couldn't investigate after the night of activation. So, he became a regular mafia member. It was an added twist.

The choices will be prettied up soon.

Good game all, interesting setup. My role I thought in perticular was interesting, I'd like to see it again.

I want to know, IS why were you so sure I was scum when all I did was randomly voted someone who already had 1 vote? I guess I should have left out the part abou being suspicious from Andy, though I was trying to match the qurikyness of it looked like the roles had.
