Also, the Cheery wagon is giving me that same bad gut feeling, so I'm gonna look into the people on that wagon too. But mostly those 4.
This is the compasion to Spyrex post, I have no idea where I'm attempting to go with these, but two people that aren't confirmed town to me are mentioned.

P-edit, Possibly scum, I really have no idea anymore, I'm not even convinced by what I was attacking him on on previous days. Quite possibly should be the lynch today even if it somehow loses the game, because this game hasn't really been that fun and I kind of just want it over.

I can't find one from implosion (I don't think I gave a simple reads list either, but even if I did I probably wouldn't quote it because I'm me and I don't trust myself), so just moving on to grab Parama day 2 one.
In post 261, Parama wrote: Death list:

I won't lynch these guys list:

Everyone else is still to be determined. Clearing the deathlist should end the game though. I sure hope it does :|
Implosion is the only one that isn't me/dead town.

Yes, but I think I'm actually more sheeping popular opinion than having my own reads.

I just never got around to tracking implosion as I didn't think he would be the one to actually be making the kill.
Though it is still possible SafetyDance caught him one night 1.

I totally forgot about the SafetyDance thing. That's even MORE evidence that we don't need.

Look, I'm tired of this game. I understand you and Parama are apathetic about it but the answer is obvious. Like, one of them is confirmed scum to you and the other is fairly obvious when compared to my game. Look at VCAs, look at posting. Look at everything. SpyreX and Implosion are scum.

Would you be willing to cross with implosion as well as spyspy today? That would confirm either you or both of them as scum, yes?
though fmpov that wouldn't rule out an impy/LLD team

ugh y'know what

no

just no

this page. doesn't seem like scum/scum interactions between LLD and cheery. if cheery and LLD were scum together, cheery would already be voting implosion.

that knocks cheery out of the scum equation completely.

which confirms impyscum 100%.

so... seeya day 6

yeah, knew this was coming eventually.

even if cheery doesn't, spyrex is going to vote for me as soon as he gets here because parama is so *sigh*. I would try to argue against this but yeah spyrex has said specifically that he isn't listening to anything except parama

if he'd like to change that (and doesn't quickhammer me as scum) then i'm absolutely willing to make arguments but yeah

If I think of anything and the days ended, I can ask you stuff during the night.
Currently I have nothing to ask anyone, but I'm not hammering yet because I may manage to get motivated if Spyrex doesn't hammer straight away.

(I'm kind of doubting that, but if I hope hard enough maybe I'll tell myself to stop hoping and actually action)

Ohh before I drop this hammer I'll make something super clear.

I'm not convinced Parama is town. In fact, I've been pretty clear that it doesn't matter to me one whit if he's scum because we, the town, literally only deserve in a chance at winning because the scum are playing just as bad.

In every scenario but cheery scum he's dead tonight or the game is done

WOO

A few days later Sixty and Stahp took each other for walks. Normally this more resembled Sixty taking Stahp for a *drag*, but the puppy was unusually slow this time. Stahp was in a particularly foul mood after last night when Sixty got stuck under the back porch during a thunderstorm and tracked mud in the house this morning, and the resulting backlash left a very subdued puppy in its wake.

Sixty's attention buzzed from the road in front of it to a mailbox at 3:00. The puppy bounded right toward it, yanking Stahp's arm hard. Stahp yelled a word that Sixty couldn't comprehend (but had heard a lot recently), and viciously pulled the leash such that Sixty was dragged headfirst toward the road. This didn't stop Sixty from trying to get at the mailbox, though, its sniffer operating at 102%. This made Stahp even angrier. He walked over to the puppy and gave it a swift kick to the side in frustration. Sixty took the blow with only a minimal flinch - it wasn't its first - and stayed put while it continued to investigate the rather fascinating array of scents surrounding the post in front of it. Stahp jerked the leash again, a very strong and angry tug that physically pulled Sixty to face the other direction.

At that point, Sixty knew what had to be done.

The puppy braced itself in the grass, resisting the pulls of its owner. Stahp yanked at the leash several more times, with the dog on the other end only letting its skull move forward slightly while it held a very somber expression. After four of these pulls, the collar finally slipped over Sixty's head, and the puppy bolted right past the swearing Stahp.

Sixty wasn't going back home. It didn't have anywhere TO go. So Sixty just wandered down the road without any real destination. It was scared, despondent, and deeply hopeless, with no idea what kind of future awaited it.

Soon thereafter, it reached an intersection with a minor highway and took a right, walking on the shoulder of the road just outside the reach of the cars speeding by. One of the cars narrowly missed Sixty, but the puppy couldn't bring itself to feel more afraid than it already was. That car pulled over, and the people who emerged from the car approached the wayward dog. Sixty didn't offer much resistance as they picked it up and took it into the car.

The car's next stop was the animal shelter - familiar to Sixty, and not in a good way, but Sixty was too drained to care. Within a few short handlings, a door with iron bars closed behind Sixty, leaving the puppy once again in a cage.

There was a difference this time. Before, Sixty hoped that there was something out there, a world without endless boredom and misery. Now... Sixty knew that there was an immense joy out there in pettings and playings and adoration, but in the balance it was still rough treatment and unwantedness. This time, Sixty wanted to be alone in the shelter - tormented by the memories of the good things that were once had, but on the whole it was better than the constant heartbreak and worthlessness from before.

Dogs don't stay at the shelter for too long... Yet when people walked by the cell to see if this was a dog they want to adopt, Sixty just huddled in the back corner.









The game is over.

The
Town

lost

~Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes~


Spoiler: Tarhalindur, Harley MacFinn over Mafia, as played by Lady Lambdadelta
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are
Tarhalindur, Harley MacFinn over Mafia
, the next-door neighbor to Sixty's friends. You are a very wealthy businessman with a very dark secret. Whenever you get a chance, you run around in the woods naked for extended periods of time with your wife and your friends in sort of a bonding ritual. Or, wait, the OTHER secret. You've been cursed with what can be most easily described as lycanthropy on a massive scale. Once you change into a wolf the size of a large sports car, your bloodlust cannot be contained - usually. On a deep, meaningful, very spiritual level you actually kind of like the people next door who adopted this adorable puppy. Because of that, you can restrain yourself to only immolating one object in their back yard instead of, say, everyone and every standing structure in the neighborhood.

For some unexplainable reason - to go along with your flavor, let's call it magic - you can speak to your allies here. Pay no attention to how both of your allies are inanimate objects; they are remarkably sentient and deeply emotional. In addition, at Night you may remove another player from the game. In addition, as a
Mafia Even-Night Strongwolf
, on even-numbered Nights, your kill will go through exactly as stated due to the influence of the fool moon.

You know that if you want to blend into this game, you may play the part of a miniature pirate hat and eyepatch that Sixty won in a brutal battle against Captain Lemon. After deciding that it couldn't sink its teeth deeply enough into the lemon's rind to cause a mortal blow, Sixty pulled you off of the fiend and now uses you as chew and tug toys. It may just be imagination, but when you're around, Sixty's petite bark seems to sound more like "yarrf" and the puppy seems loathe to leave you behind when called upon to embark on adventures - though if your eyepatch piece covers Sixty's eye the little puppy starts to move a little drunkenly. Of course, all of this is too entertaining for you to wish any harm to your canine benefactor.

You win when only threats to Sixty remain in the game, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.
Mod note: This was Sixty's role in MoI's The Dresden Files L.Theme. The safeclaim is a reference to us stealing AurorusVox's regalia following Timeater's Chain of Command micro.


Spoiler: A car, as played by Lord Mhork
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are the family car, a 2009 Subaru Outback. You are the longsuffering object of Sixty's wide-eyed fear and hatred, as you are the vehicle by which the young puppy gets taken to the
veterinarian
. On a less emotional level, you're also pretty big when compared to the teeny puppy, and your tires haven't gotten any more forgiving with age. For the longest time you didn't mean any direct harm to Sixty, but one day someone mentioned the name "Christine" to you, and something just kind of snapped... Since then, your interest has been seeing if you can redefine the term "auto insurance".

You are able to speak to your allies - yes, cars have complicated political arrangements with other suburban entities - in this thread. In addition, once per Night you may, as a representative of your faction, remove another player from the game. If you weren't a
Mafia Goon
, that wouldn't be all you could do, but you are, so it is.

If you wish to fakeclaim, you know that Sixty favors a particular puffy pillow on which the pooped puppy can drift away into dreamy darkness when the day's daring adventures have finished taking their toll. With one paw hanging slightly off the cushion and the rest of the puppy lying in a position that can only be described as
flop
, the comfort of this little corner of bliss in Sixty's world is only slightly greater than others' urge to introduce an alarming amount of petting to this incredibly cute scene. You yourself rather like having the fluffy little puppy lying on top of you, as well as any guest Sixty brings to rest with it, and you would very much like this arrangement to continue as long as possible.

You win when only threats to Sixty remain in the game, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: Fire, as played by Parama
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a fire, ever-smoldering in a metal drum in the back yard. The older humans view you as a means of disposal, feeding you their sensitive documents when they no longer need them. To keep you sated in between mail calls, they hew the very world around them to the ground and feed it to you in chunks. However, you're fully aware of how dependent you are on these
humans
to keep you alive, and this brings you no end of fear. You're not interested in letting fate come to you... You've been biding your time, devouring these carbon-based fools' refuse, building your power until you can eventually spill from your prison and rage freely throughout any part of the world you can touch. And you're starting to find that little puppy rather annoying, too... Perhaps you can tempt this "Sixty" with your warmth and dancing light, convince it to move closer, until...

You are able to speak to your allies in this thread. You may be wondering how, as ordinary flames have no direct way to control their vocalizations, but you may also not realize how scary FIRE can be if sentient. In addition, once per Night you may, as a representative of your faction, remove another player from the game. As a
Mafia Goon
, that is the extent of your special abilities in this game.

If you wish to fakeclaim, you know that you can assume the identity of a water sprinkler that was placed in the back yard. Sixty was a bit puzzled by this small arc of metal, but as the little puppy tried to come close, it immediately started shooting a jet of water. Sixty yelped and jumped back, but as the water spray danced back and forth, the puppy saw rainbows forming in the air, and with a little doggy grin the adventurous rascal tried to run toward it and catch that rainbow! Sixty didn't actually do a great job of taking home a rainbow that day, but that hasn't stopped our hero from trying again each time the water came on. You thoroughly enjoy the rapt attention the puppy gives you here, and don't want to see Sixty come to grief.

You win when only threats to Sixty remain in the game, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A cat, as played by Messiah
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are Hope, the household cat. When you were young, you were a most curious kitten, full of the same curiosity and wonder as little Sixty now. Then you discovered canned tuna paté. Starting with that indulgence, your inner child has faded to nothing as you have come to understand that these humans are here to serve you. You have adopted a grim attitude as a response to how someone needs to rule this world, and you may as well be the one. Yet this puppy Sixty is far too stupid to notice your natural superiority, and you have nothing but disdain for the foolish furbag. With that said, you do count the pooch as one of your subjects - about on the level of furniture - and in the interest of overwhelming kindness may assist in preventing this dog from getting killed by its own ignorance.

Each Night you may target a player to discern their role. However, if they smell or otherwise remind you of dog, you will turn away in disgust. There's a certain level to which you
will not go
, even as a
Town Prowler
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.
Mod note: Returns correct results on butterfly, sun puddle, night sky, wooded path, trash can, snow, and fire.


Spoiler: A butterfly, as played by SafetyDance
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a butterfly, a stunning orange monarch that flits through the back yard with little regard for the events below. Your small, fragile body is truly an eye-catching feast for discerning eyes, and (less fortunately) that goes for puppies too. Some of Sixty's greatest leaps have come from its attempts to nip you out of the air. You fly a bit too high for that, of course, but it
is
quite entertaining and you don't really hold anything against the dog.

During each Night, you may call out
Hey! Listen!
to another player, hopefully redirecting any action they would be taking to you. That's what it means to be a
Town Self-Redirector
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A chorus of barking, as played by implosion
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are the barking and howling that sometimes goes on for several minutes in the dead of night, the canine chorus providing even little domesticated puppies with a pack of their own. The call of the wild is a deeply spiritual part of the feral roots of young Sixty's soul, and if you listen to the walking food dispensing creatures who live in the house, it's also really bloody annoying.

For all the company with which you can provide Sixty, it's nothing more than moral support (and, well, a voice you can use to vote). You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck. Also, woof.
Mod note: Wait, did we seriously leave "also, woof" in this one?


Spoiler: A sunny spot, as played by Maxous
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a particular favored spot in the grass where the rustling leaves overhead part just enough to provide a glorious sun puddle in the mid-afternoon hours. Recent scientific developments show that puppy tummies are actually solar cells, and you are the perfect charger. Puppy tummies also store kinetic energy when rubbed and that can accomplish a similar result, but the point is you are a portal to ultimate bliss for a few hours.

During the Day, you may target a player to shine a seductive light on them, causing them to nap for a while. That player will wake up full of energy when the sun goes down and will spend the Night eagerly romping about in the back yard, ready and able to avoid potential threats if necessary. So you can think of yourself as a
Town Day-Activated Doctor
. Please note that you are not a very good puddle of sun at Twilight, so make sure your action is submitted by then.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: The night sky, as played by Cheery Dog
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are the night sky, a beautiful canvas of stars and dark hues lit by the somber moon. Sixty is very lucky to live far away from the city, where your glory would be dimmed by light pollution. As you resound with the ageless wonder and majesty of creation itself, your young child Sixty has already spent many hours gazing toward you with eyes of awe, eyes of wonder, eyes of longing, eyes of love.

At Night, you may gaze upon the Earth with twinkling eyes, targeting a single player to see whom they visit. (You will receive your result at the end of the Night.) Separately, at Night you may also speak with the voice of the infinite cosmos by sending the moderators one or more PMs. These PMs will be anonymously posted in the thread as soon as the moderators are available. There are no special restrictions on what you post. Thus you are a
Town Night Guardian
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A plushie, as played by kanyeknowsbest
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are one of the first toys little Sixty was given, a plushie of an otter. As a puppy of the sea yourself, you've watched the puppy grow up and have enjoyed seeing the pooch caper about. You haven't been torn apart by Sixty's claws and teeth yet, and you're confident you won't be any time soon - you're little Sixty's
favorite
.

While you are otterly adorable, you don't have any special actions - you're a
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A wooded path, as played by IceGuy
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a wooded path just outside the back yard where, on the rare occasions that Sixty is able to slip out and run free, you get to enjoy having a puppy run through. You wind mildly through the tall trees and have little gentle rises and falls that an excited critter can bound up, down, and through with the fantastic ecstasy of exploration and adventure. You are truly Sixty's sanctuary, a place where the puppy can briefly recreate the lives of its lupine lineage.

Alas, you have no special actions, so you must play the role of a
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A trash bin, as played by SpyreX
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a trash bin, a gleaming blue vault of treasure that smells
intriguing
to puppies that don't mind food that has mildly to moderately expired. Sixty has spent more time than it should pawing lovingly on your plastic sides, hoping to climb in outright or knock you over. You much prefer having such a friend who values you as something other than a dump for disposables, and would like to keep the puppy in the same realm of existence as you.

But you don't have any Night actions; you are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: A tennis ball, as played by sword_of_omens
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are a tennis ball - the standard green Wilson variety. Through a combination of being bouncy and mouth-sized, you have shot way up the list of Sixty's favorite toys. While it would be a stretch to say you will never steer Sixty wrong - like not over the fence, not into the window, and not down a deep hole - you are at least a willing and loved companion to the adventurous puppy.

You're a green ball with a green name - specifically,
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.


Spoiler: Snow, as played by Panzerjager
~NAME~


Welcome to
Mafia Through a Puppy's Eyes
. You are snow! There's not really a lot of you left, mostly in a pile in a dark corner of the yard, but a few days ago you were an astonishing new sight to little Sixty. The puppy yelped when it first poked you with its paw, but then tried running in it. It was kind of difficult, because you coated the ground in such a quantity that only the puppy's upraised tail could be seen at times, but you were more than eager to give Sixty something to jump and roll in, as well as something wet to eat since the water bowl was frozen over. Maybe someday Sixty will grow up and see snow as a hassle, but for right now, Sixty is a most playful friend of yours.

Other than being fluffy, you don't have any special abilities in this game; you are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You win when all threats to Sixty have been removed.

Please confirm via PM. We wish you the best of luck.

Mod commentary...

We decided to design a setup on a lark. We originally tried to make one full of cute sea creatures, and as soon as we got near-finished with that we decided it would be better if we went into AWESOME sea creatures, and then we settled on a puppy game. I think the main constant throughout was the otter role; we sadly did not find a way to smoothly incorporate Large Themes into the flavor.

The setup was a little Town-sided, somewhat intentionally. As for what it did the game in practice, the self-redirector WAS successful but nobody caught SafetyDance's
actual
breadcrumb--
SafetyDance 48 wrote:
In post 38, Parama wrote:P-EDIT: And Safety that's completely irrelevant I don't care
I'M NOT IRRELEVANT! LOOK AT MEEEEEE, OR I'LL MAKE YOU >:(
--and Parama was able to get by. The remaining two members of the scum were hit with three investigations total, but Cheery Dog had the ill fortune of investigating opposite their rhythm and Messiah hit the remaining scum who was immune to his investigation. The investigations pretty much fell out to be the worst possible, and not necessarily through the fault of the players.

With all that said, I'm not sure if this setup would have been better without the Mafia Strongwolf.

---

After the first Day this game and its lynches were all painful to watch. I'm sure the more
Justice
-aligned half of the hydra will have more to say on the subject, but the last Day in particular was just unexplainably bad. When someone crossvotes with you and there's no quickhammer after all the pairs of other players have posted (i.e. the other person is scum), and then some THIRD person gets run up, and you as Town join
the person you were just voting
to hammer that person, that's kind of enough to make me as a mod want to re-enact this.

On the other side, the scum weren't playing with all the cards they were given either. They didn't pool their safeclaims - letting Mhork die with their best safeclaim, though they turned out to not need it - and they didn't give any thought at all to the Night messages until Night 4. (The dead thread found out who the Nightposter was on their own, and I'll let them explain how.) We would, however, like to thank the scum for killing Messiah Night 4 after he picked up his Night prod without sending a response or an action in. That would have been awkward given the Night post that had already gone out at that time.

We would like to thank everyone for playing; in particular, we did not need to replace anyone, which is always a welcome rarity. This may not have been the most pleasant of games to get through, but everyone stuck it out. Thank you.

Bottom line: Scum rolled this Town, and we got to post lots of pictures of puppies. In the event that TIGERS eat this game we will only salvage Sixty's posts in isolation.

your bus was so bad and obvious i thought there was no way.. i gave u 2 much credit ._.

that said your rushing the sword wagon day2 and your reaction to panzers first d4 post were very scum and im sad no1 who was alive caught those. i thought the second scum was a lazy spyrex w. lambda just being lazy not into the game. turns out it was the other way around :x
