UPick: Mafiascum Fantasy Camp - All over!

[GreyICE]

This claim makes me annoyed, because it's so very scum and I so very much want to believe it.

Buuuuut it's scum. Very willing to hammer.


PEDIT: nevermind, let's lynch this donk. Too scummy to be scum? No.

[Amrun]

Okay, caught up in the sense that I read everything I missed. Nothing truly in-depth, but this is the time I have to give.

Unvote

We don't lynch mason claims etc


Things on my mind:

-I am highly concerned about GreyICE dancing about my slot. I am "confirmed scum," according to him, and yet while my wagon was growing, he placed a weak vote on SDC. What is this tomfoolery? I really don't know what to make of this. I don't know how it can be a scumtell, since I am town, but it is definitely weird.

-LLD is definitely town.

-DH still reads as extremely scummy with one exception: he said he didn't understand the wagon on me at all. If I was the major counterwagon at the time, I would call this a towntell, but I have decided it is null. On one hand, I don't see much scum motivation in saying something like that about town, but on the other, he said he "didn't understand it," so he can come to understand it later and hop on, if need be. (Now that I think about it in these terms, that IS pretty noncommittal, which is another scumpoint.) Also, he was riding the Candle Jack wagon, so he didn't need to be so concerned with discrediting the other plausible wagon (me).

-I am concerned about Irony. They seem to exclusively post opportunistic one liners. Why are they being allowed to coast? Unlike Toasty, they are not V/LA. (Speaking of, his V/LA should be over, iirc.)

-Vi's shenanigans re: 1 v 1 is bothering me. I can't quite figure Vi out this game. I feel like that whole thing needs more time to roast. I have NOT decided Vi is town ... and yet I'm not convinced enough that I want Vi lynched anymore. (Yay fencesitting!)

-Speaking of, I totally believe AGM's claim.

-SDC has been downgraded as a town read for me. Now that Reck's recent large (NY135) has finished, I can say something I noticed recently. SpyreX picked a couple of players he thought would be susceptible (Oversoul, kanyeknowsbest) and buddied them hard all game - but gradually, in small ways. I detected a hint of this in SpyreX's hydrapost towards me in Post 393. I actually agree with his assessment of me in this post, but it's been kind of niggling at me in the back of my mind. I am getting small hints of hydra dissonance and I dislike the most recent post 799 because it ignores my claim and such. Other than that, though, their posts often follow my line of thinking (like why in the hell are we allowing to do nooothing but say "sdc is scum, sdc is scum?", though I do understand he is roleplaying ABR). All of this is to say I used to think SDC was Town and now I think they are leaning town.

Simply put, besides the above, I have a couple of other varying degrees of town reads, but nothing in the way of an honest to goodness scumread anymore now that I am more ambivalant about Vi.

I am still willing to wagon Vi, but I would rather:

VOTE: DemonHybrid

[AlmasterGM]

This claim is extremely suspicious and likely untrue.

Unvote, Vote: Amrun

Vi still needs to die, though. It can only survive on pure arrogance for so long.

[MagnaofIllusion]

I don't have tons of time ...

Based on the wording of my role PM I think it is impossible to have my power be backed-up for a number of reasons.

Also the concept of shaft.ed running Scumputer I find not very well fitting from a flavor standpoint. Yeah, I said flavor. Sue me.

I'm happy to keep my vote as is currently.

[Amrun]

I no longer give a shit. I posted what little content I have to offer.

[Nikanor]

Wheeee let's go for gold.

[Nikanor]

Double cop is already pushing on the border of implausibility. Backup double cop is an illegal immigrant.
<This is where I would post fluff if I were scum>

[Meransiel]

I concur. Killitwithfire.

[GreyICE]

Dammit, LLD, that's scummy as hell. Why is she town again?


Also vote on SDC not weak. Intent to wagon them evey day they draw breath not weak at all.

Oh fuck it, what a mess.

Vote:amrun

Backup to an unprovable power, nah.

SDC dies tomorrow. Or tonight.

[Lord]

Cool, is that a hammah?

Don't forget people:

1. Protective roles must not protect MoI
2. If I die he is confirmed town.

[Lord]

Mer told me to post this for him while he's away if someone hammers by the way.

[Nikanor]

In before the mods flip shit.

[Irony]

Meransiel's going to be modkilled, pulling shit like that...

~C

[Meransiel]

Ohkay, here's me. Nice one, Grey, you're still scum.

Meransiel's going to be modkilled, pulling *smurfs* like that...

~C

*reads rules*

Nope, you're not that lucky.

*rereads rules*

I hope...

[Lost Butterfly]

Oh, are you fucking kidding me?

1) The site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.

2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread.

I'm waiting for Faraday to wake up for his opinion, but how would you two get the impression that this would be even CLOSE to permitted in the rules--or in any game on mafiascum, for that matter--without asking us first?

Thread locked until then.

The first day of camp was fraught with tension. All activities had been cancelled after the murder of the camp's poor beloved director at the hands of a fanatic group of Mafia LARPers. And so the campers tried to make their own entertainment so as to take their minds off the tragedy.

Board games were out of the question, as Mastermind of Sin's dice had been confiscated--something to do with "verifiable randomness." Lady Lambdadelta suggested a riddle match, but that idea came to a dead end when everyone solved her riddle ten seconds later. The campers then made a feeble attempt to organize a cheer competition. One team (captained by MagnaofIllusion) shouted, "CLAIM, CLAIM, CLAIM," while the other team (led by GreyICE) shouted, "CHESSKID, CHESSKID, CHESSKID," each competing to be loudest. (A third team of abstainers sat stubbornly to the side, chanting, "This is a trap, so you won't get us to say the words 'CLAIM' or 'CHESSKID'!")

But inevitably, the conversation drifted to rumours and theories surrounding Faraday's death.

"The killer must be the person who claimed third party," said one camper.

"I think it's the guy who accused the person who claimed third party," said another.

"Oh, yeah? I bet it's the guy who

accused

the guy for accusing the person who claimed third party," said a third camper.

"Oh, please. It's obviously the guy who was fourth on the wagon of the guy who accused the guy for accusing the guy who claimed third party!"

Twelve quote strip battles, seven role claims, three ragequits, and a 1 v. 1 later, someone finally noticed Amrun at the outskirts of the crowd.

"What about you?" asked one camper. "Who do you think shot Faraday?"

"Oh, I'd give Faraday a shot of something," said Amrun, with a leer, "

if you know what I'm talking about

."

That caught everyone's attention. "Was that a confession?"

"Believe me, there's

lots

I could confess to, if you know what I'm talking about."

"No," said one of her interrogators. "We

don't

know what you're talking about. Stop being flippant and give us a straight answer, damn it!"

"Hey, I'm as straight as they come,

if you know what I'm talking about.

"

At that, everyone's patience snapped. "Claim or die!" they all chanted.

"Fine," said Amrun. "Here's my claim:"

Spoiler:

Twenty unpleasant minutes later, the assistant director lowered Amrun's still-twitching body from the flagpole from which the bloodthirsty mob had hanged her. But when she looked through the corpse's pockets, she found a photograph of Amrun's family dog.

Much as they admired Amrun's refusal to break character even in the face of death, that picture clearly proved that she had not lost all connection to her life back at home. Besides, no evil scumbag would love her dog!

Benmage replaces Meransiel(who is being force replaced). Welcome him!

The deadline for night actions is : (expired on 2011-08-23 22:19:35) from now or the 23rd of August at 10:19 EDT. If they're not sitting in my inbox by then you will default to no action.

"Someone will come," MagnaofIllusion said out loud. But as the minute and then the hour hands of his watch crept forward, his hope faltered.

At midnight, he began the depressing process of clearing up. He started with the paper plates, cups, and cutlery--the easy job. Next he scraped out the contents of the serving bowls he'd laid out on the table into Tupperware containers. The macaroni salad, the potato salad, the carrot salad--one by one, he sealed the Tupperwares and squeezed them into the mini-refrigerator that all the cabins at Mafiascum Fantasy Camp came equipped with. He could have carried more containers at a time, but there was no sense rushing when he might need to take them out again at any moment. Then came the chicken stock. He pulled the roll of plastic wrap from his suitcase. He tore off a large piece, stretched it over the pot of soup. As he worked, he stole glances at the door.

He left the uneaten cherry pie for last. When it had first come piping hot out of the oven he'd cajoled the cafeteria cook into letting him use for an evening, the smell had been mouthwatering. By now the pie had cooled to room temperature.

Don't delude yourself, Mag--DrippingGoofball. They're not coming. You knew they never were.

What stung most was that a big sleepover would have been just the thing to take everyone's mind off today's failure. Besides, wouldn't they be much safer from the Mafia when surrounded by multiple witnesses? But when he'd handed his fellow campers their pineapple-adorned invitations to Magnabash, he could tell from their eyes that they were already mentally composing excuses for their absences.

Why couldn't he be as popular as DrippingGoofball? Was it because he was an accountant? Was it his fondness for text walls? Or was it some deeper personality flaw?

Then someone knocked at the door.

He practically flew to open it. Outside was a fellow camper whom MoI immediately recognized. Unfortunately for MoI, he couldn't read the evasive narration for this scene, so he had no way of knowing his life was in danger.

"Hi!" he said. "Welcome to Magnabash. It's a pleasure to see you."

"Am I too late?" asked his guest.

MagnaofIllusion fidgeted with the sleeve of his dress. "Oh, not at all."

The camper looked around the cabin. "They left," Magna said at once. "It had grown late. And a few who disobeyed my rule against alcohol abuse started vomiting, so I ejected them onto my porch."

"That's a shame," said the visitor. "Funny, I didn't notice a mess."

"Is that so," said MoI, his heart pounding. It was time to change the subject. "So I--"

Stay in character. Don't say noted.

Don't

say noted.

"I

observe

that you have brought a gift," finished MoI.

But the guest didn't betray any suspicion. "Yes, I thought you'd like these chocolates." He or she handed Magna a box. Oddly, it was already opened.

"Excellent. I shall put them out...for the other guests." He coughed. "Who will be arriving. Shortly. I mean...again. Since they've already left, of course. It's not as though I'm lying and making up my story as I go along."

For a few awkward moments, he and the camper stood in silence. "Let me try a chocolate," blurted out Magna. He shoved one into his mouth and took a big bite. It tasted of caramel and almonds.

"Would you like some?"

"The cherry pie, perhaps," said the guest. "But I couldn't possibly steal your own present."

Magna put the box on the table, beside the pie. As he went to fetch a paper plate and fork for his guest, he was ecstatic, even though his head was throbbing.

"The pie looks delicious," said the guest. He or she absently dug the carving knife into the pie, but his or her eyes were transfixed on Magna.

"Thanks," said Magna. Perhaps he'd have some himself, or maybe another chocolate. As he walked forward, the room seemed to spin. He steadied himself on the edge of the table. Another stab of pain shot through his head. "I'm sorry. I'm feeling somewhat indisposed--oh, fuck." He sighed. "Don't tell me I'm dying on Night One again."

The guest gave a guilty smile. "Sorry. We almost gave you a reprieve for being DGB and all, but let's face it, your imitation kind of sucked."

"I knew I felt the familiar burn of potassium cyanide down my throat," said MoI. "Excellent choice of weapon, by the way. The chocolate conceals the taste. Much less painful than the time I was poisoned in a night scene with antifreeze."

"I'm so glad you approve," said the camper. "We've spent months stockpiling weapons for this."

"I approve of your attention to detail. Usually, killers go for something flashy like setting me on fire, roasting me with a laser, stabbing me, decapitating me, or feeding me to dogs. Or they just cop out and shoot me. Nice to see a new twist to a Night One death. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm afraid I shall be a remiss host, because my trachea seems to be seizing up aghfufhufuhufhughhhhhhh."

"No need to apologize," said the guest, as Magna clutched his throat and fell to the ground.

Right before he lost consciousness, he choked out, "You...did you...like...cherry pie?"

I tracked SDC and they went nowhere.

[Regfan]

Hey everyone, I'm mostly caught up, though want to read through part of the MoI, LLD, GI and Vi interaction again in light of the flip before out all my reads and notes. The cop guilty makes today that much easier though Irony is a waste of a cop check to be honest. They were guaranteed to be lynched/vigged at some point anyway and if they're town we don't want them cleared and alive in an end game. Vi or SDC would have been a

much

better investigation.

I may as well just outright character claim because it'll be obvious anyway. I'm mastin and I have a restriction forcing me to have 120 words per post, inhim broke this however his warnings have been erased since I replaced in. Most of you know that I have don't regard Mastin highly at all and since I'm forced to play his character I'm going to have as much fun as I can. I'll keep things done purely to make fun of Mastin in italics, they aren't necessary to read but you can if you want to.

It's a good thing that I am a writer and a poet so I should manage to complete this easily, almost as easily as I well decimate the mafia team. Mark. My. Words. They. Will. Be. Caught.

I spent an hour per page. I wrote down scum and town motivations for every post in the entire game, put them inside my QT and have decided to instead tunnel my random.org pre-game reads which says Amrum is mafia.

Okay you know what I'm just going to stop being an Asshat and say that I'm actually a one-shot vig and shot Irony.
Not that it matters because he's still scum.
Also this marks the second time I've been a vig and I still haven't been able to kill anybody. ROARRRR
