Sunflower

Says you!

Well howdy partners. It seems we're all here again and we still don't know who the villainous murderer is. My trigger finger is gettin' a bit itchy here. If y'all don't get a move on, I might just started shootin'! 48 hours to hammer!

The sheriff's policy is that what folk do in the privacy of their homes is their business... as long as they ain't killin' psyducks that is.

Not much happened last night, so far as I can tell Mr. Mayor... We're all still here and no closer to justice. As I walked past the cemetery on my rounds, I could have sworn I heard psyduck crying for vengeance from the grave. Maybe we'll get a chance to drench our hands in the blood of his killers by nightfall. One can only hope!

Nope, but I photo shopped it a little. You can find pretty much anything on the internets! Just some good ole fashioned smoked flavor.

Salutations friends. Sheriff Sunflower here. Welcome to the Howdy Townie Saloon. Thank y'all for coming on such short notice. I won't waste your time by beating around the bush. Our town was struck by the darkest tragedy this past night. Our beloved Psyduck was murdered! I found the poor fellow hanging from the old oak tree at the center of town this very morning. His neck was snapped and his feathers singed with the stomach churning scent of barbecue. All of the life was sapped right out of him, only to leave us here on this dreary and desolate day, forlorn and duckless. He was simple folk just like all of us here in this town. All of us that is, except the murderers who stand in this very room! I've been vigilant as your Sheriff to check the town ledger, and there can be no doubt. No outsider could have done this deed. That's right. The perpetrators of this monstrous crime have the nerve to sit among us as we mourn and toast to the death of the sweet duck they vanquished. Mayor Jeod decreed that justice for this heinous atrocity shall be meted out through our town's traditional system. And that's not all. The mayor placed a bounty of 500,000 gold pieces for the heads of the killers, to be distributed among all the heroic townfolk who find the perps. My fingers burn to shoot these abominations of nature myself, but our traditions must come first. Each day, y'all vote for the killer, and whoever has the most votes shall hang in the same fashion that they killed our good friend. The process will continue until the murderer or murders are found or until the end is nigh for us all. God willing, the wicked creatures who killed psyduck shall face their judgment. Godspeed and good luck! As always, the rules are standard: Mafia must try to equal or exceed Town numbers. Town must eliminate all hostiles, which are defined as Mafia or Third Party alignment--one or both of these alignments may exist in this game. If any Neutral alignments exist, they must complete their own objectives but can decide whether to help any other alignments if the situation allows them to. Day phases last 48 hours and always begin and end at 11:00PM GMT (6:00PM EST for Americans). Night phases are similar, but only last 24 hours. During the Day, players talk amongst themselves and decide on who to lynch. It is, of course, possible to spare someone from the noose by voting NoLynch (##vote Nolynch or NoLynch). Players who vote for this twice in a row will be subject to a penalty and will be forced to vote for themselves the following day. There is no early hammer in this game. At the end of the day, the player with the majority vote will be lynched. In the event of a tie, a coin toss via random.org will decide the player to be lynched. Night phase rules will be further explained at the Night One post, but they are standard. Shamelessly stolen additional rules No quoting GM communication or other out of thread communication. No out of thread communication unless specifically allowed by the GM. No content-posts after death unless allowed by the GM. White noise that doesn't affect the game is fine. Use your best judgment, but remember that anything you say can be taken by the players to mean something it doesn't. If in doubt, say nothing. The same goes if you aren't playing, and double if you aren't playing and have been spoilered. Don't try to break the game. No sillyness like telling everyone to make a roleclaim post and encrypt it, then reveal their encryption keys/methods all at once for example. No saying "my role PM has X characters in it" And if you come up with it, and you're a little too proud of coming up with it as a way to get around the spirit of the game, don't post it. Mods, do your best to prevent this crap in the first place if you can. Don't give everyone with the same role and/or win condition the exact same wording for example. "Outside influences" such as bribing, threats, promises, whatever falls under the above. Don't do it. Don't be an ass. This includes "bussing" fellow scum/cultist teammates. By bussing we mean revealing fellow scumteam members as scum to spite them or gain townie points. No backseat modding. Unless the game's GM/Mod asks for forum moderator assistance, let them handle it. Especially if they have forum moderator privileges themselves. This is more of a respect/courtesy thing than a rule. Pointing out that the hammer has fallen and no one should be talking until the moderator handles it is fine; deleting posts put up after the hammer isn't. If you signed up for a Mafia Game, you're expected to participate actively. It's up to a GM to setup a minimal post quota for each player so that the game won't get hampered by inactive players. If you know you won't be able to play for more than one day, it is your responsibility to let the GM know in advance. Please don't try to be an Internet detective to find out who was online where and when. Not only is it not a good way of hunting down players, it's also a bit creepy and unfair for the person. Don't base most of your case on someone around "his last online time was X thus he was online at hammer but didn't post/vote" for example. Don't edit your posts in game thread. Make a second post and preface it with "Mafia Edit:" to show it's a continuation or correction of a previous post. NEW: Players can vote to nominate a player to the item vault at the end of each day NEW: When a player dies, their items are sent to the item vault. NEW: Players are allowed to use one night action AND one item action per night. Players may pass as many unique items as they like. EX: players may pass item A and item B on the same night, but only ONE of each item may be passed during that night.

I didn't either. I knew my insanity meant my mind couldn't be judged or affected, but I thought it just meant I'd come up as "unknown" so I wasn't really too stoked about being investigated. Being investigated as town is just as big a surprise to me! But hey, if you survived and said I was town, I probably wouldn't have felt pressured to use my hypnosis on Verti early and I still would've died anyway so... worth it!

I didn't know that you knew for sure who got the death note (Irish said I could join the doc anonymously in case it wasn't certain we knew who each other were). But I mean I used the note and I tried to come up with a fun death for my target, so I guess I just hoped you'd like it. The kinda funny thing is I wasn't sure I even wanted to open the death note because I was worried about "making a contract with the devil" having drawbacks but I did because I knew it's what Drusilla would do lol.

Thanks.

Sorry I had to lie to you so many times @Nodlied! I felt pretty bad about it but didn't have a choice.

Btw... being mafia but having info that you can't share with your partner(s) for pretty much the entire game is hard.

I'm not sure. I'm probably gonna take a break for a little while at least.

Wait, cure for what?

I expect Dr. Grout to get to work on finding some mad scientist plan to revive Drusilla immediately. She didn't even get staked or anything so it shouldn't be hard. TUT TUT GROUT..

You're welcome!

I don't care if it's me. As long as you get lynched today, that's all I need to make this game awesome.

We have the chance to make a shinigami seppuku itself out of love. That's the coolest thing ever. You don't get a chance like this in a mafia game every day guys!

This is our only chance to kill Verti. I promise you my ability is one time use only.

Whatever my alignment is, this is what I got.

I already revealed everything I can do. My day action has a hidden effect that can kill the shinigami if I put together the pieces. That's why I'm here. I don't have anything else other than my insanity and my watch ability.

one time use day action* is what I meant. And nope... it's not really like that at all.

My ability is a one time use like most actions in mafia. It was also a hidden easter egg in the game and the only way to kill you and I figured it out so yay me.

How should I know? Maybe he's a smart guy?

I haven't said a word to Jeod outside of the game and he hasn't to me either. (not about the game anyway. we've talked about other stuff).
