The sky is grey, little sign of the sun as it slips beyond the edge of the Earth. The over-bearing clouds threaten rain, but do not deliver.

Somewhat unusually, this scenario is mirrored down below on the streets of Japan. Perhaps subdued over the loss of their friends over the last few days, the calm discussion firmly contrasts with the barbarism of days prior.

After a round of questioning, the town turn to
Mikeburnfire
. With a glorious accent, he struggles to convince the town of his innocence.

Eventually,
Maz Medias
decides that the only option is to remove
Mikeburnfire
from the situation, and finds himself with several people suggesting the very same thing.

Mikeburnfire
is gracious, proclaiming that he will die for the good of the town.

He puts forward no struggle, and is soon tied up.

"We don't need to harm you, we just need you out of the way."
VisMaior
diplomatically suggests.
Nai
nods in agreement, and they prepare to drag him along to a cell.

Suddenly, someone points out the obvious.
"Hey, he's not the right size for a man of his age!"

VisMaior
removes the exotic shirt from
Mike
, revealing him to be none other than
Kodachi Kuno, Mafia Roleblocker
.

"Damn!" he cries, dissapointed in his capture. The town rather reluctantly celebrate, but they know deep down that there are still more out there that would cause them harm.


Mikeburnfire, Kodachi Kuno, Mafia Roleblocker
was captured by the town.
(lynched)

Dawn breaks, and you get right to business.

Sadly it looks like someone else got to business last night, as you find
Teucer
doing a very convincing swiss cheese impersonation.

Now is not the time for words, but the time for action.


Teucer, Dr. Tofu, Townie Doctor
was impaled repeatedly night 4.

It is day.

Looks like I was right about MBF. Maz is high on my list of people that really should be targetted for a lynch.

Before I vote for Grimclaw, though, since it looks like this MO points to him, let's hear what he has to say for himself, hmm?

Grimclaw did try to kill me last night, with a torrent of blades.

His aim is shit, though.

Wait for Grimclaw to confirm before we start to hang him. He's a claimed, vig, isn't he?

I point out the rather important connection between Maz and Mike yestergameday, with Mike ending up scum. I don't think our lynch today would be a bad idea with Maz.

I might also point out that Maz said he'd welcome people trying to target him, saying he wasn't sure if his ability would block a kill.

I'll also point out that no scum would attack someone they thought was un-NKable, and would rather go after, say, the claimed doc. Which is exactly what happened last night. No Vig would do that.

In other words, I think we can assume Grimclaw isn't the one we're after.

The MO is the same.

We had a double-kill with the same MO earlier, involving an apparent multi-bladed attack.

That is a really, really powerful ability, which is why I'm not voting Grimclaw yet; a double-use double-kill would be devastatingly broken in a small game.

@Nai: Essentially you're saying that in the ballsiest scum move ever, two of the presumable 3 mafia members were lynched by their own teammates, and that I just put myself out there as confirmable by Grimclaw, who you believe is town, because it's an obviously beneficial mafia play? That's slightly WIFOM, aye, but because of available information and the fact that I am confirmable, combined with the fact that we have two kills on the board here - Grim's failed on me, and the presumable scumkill on Teucer - I'm thinking that you're out of your gourd.

This might be true. However, you look the scummiest to me. You also have cleared Grim, so that doesn't leave many people. Let me look back over the claims...

If it isn't you, Maz, it's Vis. The rest of us are confirmed.

Ok let me see. no nk n1, 2 nks n2 2 nks n3... do you see a pattern here? I think the MO matters less here, and that we have an SK and a mafia left still. Maz does seem like a good candidate for a docprotect. And Anix has some incriminating evidence on Grimclaw.

I find Nais actions strange, need to reread.

Nai, can you summarize how each person is cleared for me? I don't feel like rereading, kinda busy with other stuff.

Ater a quick look over of a few things, I've changed my mind of who I think is town and who I don't. Let me explain:

Go back to page 20, and at the top of the page is Vis's list of claims. Here's the relist for those that don't remember:

Maz: Cologne passive blocker+rolecop
Nai: Ranma rolecop/?
visMaior: shampoo, townie and ranmafreaker(?)
Anix: Tsubasa Kurenai, watcher saw DMs underpants stolen(?), mike getting blocked and protected, and Nai doing nothing (Nai confirming beeing watched)
GrimClaw: Mousse, vig

Now, out of us five, three of us have been confirmed as at least our role in some way. For instance, I saw that someone was watching me, and Anix confirmed he was watching me that night. So we know Anix is a watcher. Since the mafia can't effectively use a watcher, chances are he's not mafia.

Maz, you're next. I don't consider you cleared for any reason. However, for the fact of your ability being cleared by the GM, and from you saying Grim attacked you last night, you seem more likely to be town than the last two.

Then there's me. First of all, I claimed Ranma, and no one counterclaimed. So that means I'm Ranma. Do you seriously think that the "Ranma 1/2" mafia would have Ranma himself as mafia?

Last come my two suspects, Vis and Grim. There's a reason for this:

Grim has stated that he is Mousse, and that he's a "vig". Gives him the alabi for killing people. However, no good vig would attack anyone without good reason.

Then there's Vis. He's just the odd man out in this bunch. "Ranmafreaker"? Flavorfully correct, but didn't seem to do anything at all when it happened.

And if you look at the first post of the first page, you'll see we have two different ways people have died. On our night 2, when two people died, it was by Throat Laceration. I think there's a point to this, since they are both the same. Nights 3 and 4 ended with the townie being "impaled repeatedly", the former being maced as well. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the second guy was maced too.

That leaves two different people that made two very different kills. Chances are, one was an SK role that gets a second kill once in the game, and that the other is just mafia.

My guess is that Grim is the mafia, and Vis is the SK. But that's just me. Grim's an obvious killer, yes. Vis doesn't fit into a catagory of 'town' to me, which leaves him to be the SK.

[quote=First Lynch Scene]Luckily, you also notice the piece of paper in her pocket outlining her plans to murder Ranma for being an insensitive, perverted, brash, rude, annoying, ugly, lying, cheating, womanising jerk, and those who try to stop her. Sadly, she forgot to write the names of her buddies down. Guess you'll just have to keep looking for more.[/quote]This does seem to suggest that Ranma isn't mafia, though technically doesn't clear him as non-SK. I don't see a flavorful Ranma serial-killer, though, so I do think Nai is town.

Grimclaw has informed me he shall be away for a while. I was under the impression that he should be here now until at least next Thursday, but it seems due to holidays I'm going to have to find
another
replacement.
Great
. A little help guys? There's not too much to go.

Akonas, Akane Tendo, Mafia Transformer
Mikeburnfire, Kodachi Kuno, Mafia Roleblocker

based on this I might say there is a theme to the mafia, namely beeing Ranmas love-interests. let me see the claims...

I thought my PM was clear enough :/

Well, anyways, I was away the past 4 days, and I will be away for several weeks starting Thursday. So it's probably a good idea that I get replaced, even though we're so close to the end of the game. Sorry guys.
Until I get replaced (or until Thursday, whichever comes first) I'll keep on posting though.

I can confirm two things about Maz: a) he can see the abilities used against him, b) he is probably killable. My pm made it quite (but not 100%) clear that Maz survived because my aiming sucked, and not because of his ability or a doc protect.

I find Nais actions strange, need to reread.
uhh... actually, we have 0 kills n1, lynch d1, 2kills n2, lynch d2, 1 kill n3, lynch d3, 1 kill n4.
Ofcourse, n3 the person who died was targeted with a kill twice (one by me).
Oh, and how does AniX have ANY evidence against me Vis? If I remember correctly I told everyone before we lynched mbf that I would try to kill Maz, and noone objected, so it should't have been a surprise to anyone that I did. -_-

One thing I don't get though is that the MO of teucer's death was the same as my kill attempt on Lloyd. Mafia have a choice or something?


Finally, I perfectly agree with Nai on most of his post. AniX is cleared by role in my eyes, Nai by flavour (see Maz's last post, plus I doubt there is an SK at all), and Maz just seems likely town to me now (a combination of his posts, and now I know his ability is less powerful than Mike said I can see it on a town player just as easily as on a scum player). That leaves me and Vis. Which puts my vote on Vis, since I know I'm town obv.
Vote VisMaior


But that vote isn't just there by process of elimination, I see some points against Vis too. Besides his claim just being weak as hell, his posts seem to be twisting things too much.
When it seemed impossible that mike would survive much longer, Vis tried to hammer him. Bad thing.
Then, after mike had actually gotten 4 votes, Vis once again voted him.
In the mean time, he seems to be overlooking some posts when it's convenient to him.

Well, on second tought, the wifom starts If I point out how utterly stupid it were, were I scum, to point that out. So no, Im using WIFOM in my defense. Ironically, that makes my situation even worse, despite it beeing a honest try to connect people with scum. i guess I need to learn to shutup even when town. :(
