A moderator enters a mafia-game. Ed: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (Ullz does not respond.) Ed: 'Ello, Mr.? Ullz: What do you mean "Mr."? Ed: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! Ullz: We're closin' for lunch. Ed: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this player what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. Ullz: Oh yes, the, uh, the Suburban Plankton...What's,uh...What's wrong with him? Ed: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it! Ullz: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting. Ed: Look, girly, I know a dead player when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. Ullz: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable player, Suburban Plankton, idn'it, ay? Lovely legs and stuff! Ed: The legs don't enter into it. He is stone dead!! Ullz: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting! Ed: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at Suburban Plankton) 'Ello, my little mafiaplayer! I've got a lovely fresh beer for you if you show... (Ullz hits Suburban Plankton) Ullz: There, he moved! Ed: No, he didn't, that was you hitting him hard! Ullz: I never!! Ed: Yes, you did! Ullz: I never, never did anything... Ed: (yelling and hitting Suburban Plankton repeatedly) 'ELLO!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call! (Takes the head of Suburban Plankton and thumps him hard into the ground. Throws the body (mods can totally do that. They write the color and can easily bestow super mods powers on themselves) up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.) Ed: Now that's what I call a dead player!! Ullz: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned! Ed: STUNNED?!? Ullz: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Mafia players stun easily, you see... Ed: Um...now look...now look, sweety, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That player is definitely deceased, and when I got him to sign up for this game not so long ago, you assured me that his total lack of movement was due to him bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged Night 0. Ullz: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fluffy Nights and cold beers. Ed: PININ' for the FLUFFY NIGHTS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im in my game? Ullz: Suburban Planktons prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable player, id'nit, squire? Lovely legs and all! Ed: Look, I took the liberty of examining that player when I got it in my game, and I discovered the only reason that it had been able to sign up in the first place was because it's lovely legs had been NAILED to the thread. (pause) Ullz: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that player down, it would have nuzzled up to those others boards around here, chattering about food and pictures and music with other people, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee! Ed: "VOOM"?!? Lady, this player wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! Ullz: No no! 'E's pining! Ed: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This player is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the thread 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PLAYER! (pause) Ullz: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (she takes a quick peek around the thread) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round in the game, and uh, we're right out of new players. Ed: I see. I see, I get the picture. Ullz: I got a nice bit of karma for you in stead? (pause) Ed: Pray, can karma play in my game? Ullz: Nnnnot really. Ed: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!! !!? Ullz: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at her feet) Ed: Well. (pause) Ullz: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place? Ed: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure. And so ended the game for Suburban Plankton, Town, Sir Robin and paranoid doctor.Day will last Monday, 21 February 2011, 11:00:00 (Esbjerg time)

first, crud. not so much because of the doc part but because of the town part.
second, a paranoid doc bites the bullet. now in sis' just concluded dr. seuss game the paranoid doc in that game had a vote restriction attached to their power as opposed to the typical paranoid doc just taking away that person's Night actions if they had one. but since it appears that everyone who voted had their vote count (probably need to double check) then it is safe to assume that it is more the "traditional" type. in which case it is not as tragic as a normal doc death.
third, as tex notes only one death last Night. need to ponder about that one a wee bit.

Ulla (and Ed): The opening was awesome! I read it out loud to my wife this morning. She "hates" Monty Python, but even she laughed while I read it. Of course, it might have helped that I was channeling my inner Michael Palin and John Cleese voices (with a slight feminine touch for Michael Palin).
@ SisCoyote: Sigh. Your argument was weak yesterDay. Letting it sit overnight has not made it any better.
@ Burby: I'm sorry to see you go. I was hoping to ask you some questions toDay.
@ peeker: This may be neither here-nor-there, but I thought I saw a note from Sis in one of the Dr. Seuss threads (I don't think it was in the actual game thread) saying that she had mixed up the "Archangel" and "Paranoid Doc" roles. In other words, the Paranoid Doc role in this game might have different mechanics than in the Dr. Seuss game.

I should have called the role in question "Paranoid Archangel", I think, and let y'all fumble through with that bit of chaos. But, yes; Paranoid Doc is usually a Doc who prevents their target from taking any action.

So just to summarize (with no guarantee it's exactly like this game except for archangel: -doc: blocks incoming kills -archangel: blocks incoming actions on target -paranoid doc: blocks all incoming and outgoing actions on target. Claims combining it the vote record (left out votes not direct related to Mahaoth): Day One153: Red Skeezix votes Mahaloth 156: Renata votes Mahaloth (voted bob from 241-256 but returns) 168: crazybunny votes Mahaloth 271: KidV votes Mahaloth 281: Cookies votes Mahaloth 282: guiri votes Mahaloth crazybunny has five votes (against 6 for Maha) at this point from: Romanic, Suburban Plankton, Sister Coyote, peekercpa, bobarrgh 290: Mahaloth claims vote-investigator303: KidV unvotes (later votes crazybunny) 309: Red Skeezix unvotes (later votes timmy) 325: Cookies unvotes (later votes KidV) 322: guiri unvotes (later votes bob, KidV) 330: crazybunny unvotes (later votes bob) 330: crazybunny claims watcher341: Renata unvotes (later votes KidV) 415: KidV claims archangel Day Two (Mahaloth-Cookies) 003: crazybunny votes Mahaloth (1-0) 041: Cat votes Cookies (1-1) 128: texcat votes Cookies (1-2) 151: bobarrgh votes Cookies (1-3) 163: peeker votes Mahaloth (2-3) 167: Suburban Plankton votes Mahaloth (3-3) 178: Mahaloth votes Cookies (3-4) 180: pedescribe votes Mahaloth (4-4) 182: romola votes Mahaloth (5-4) 184: guiri votes Mahaloth (6-4) 187: Cookies votes Mahaloth (7-4) 192: bobarrgh unvotes Cookies, votes Mahaloth (8-3) 194: sinjin votes Cookies (8-4) 203: MHaye votes Cookies (8-5) ----- Of course no idea how bold scum were with bussing but considering the dead investigator they might have felt Mahaloth a lost cause. bobarrgh jumps out because both times he was on the oppsoing lynch candidate (with a late switch Day Two), so I think I'll review him. peeker was early Mahaloth voter Day two, but on the other side Day One. guiri was on Mahaloth both Days but one just before the claim (could be coordinated but need to check what the rules say about scum Day talk, if anything). The 6-4 vote is stronger town indication but can also see it as the 7-4 if we assume Cookies would vote in self defense). This analysis of course ignore the player not voting Mahaloth or the opposing lynch.

I said when I voted pedescribe that I would be rereading the recent events. You jumped in while I was still doing that. Thanks for waiting. Well, you earlier said you weren't going to change you vote that Day - a least that is what I assumed when said the quote below (assuming you meant 6am monday morning before the deadline of 10am) and you had not commented on anything but pedescribe when I said that. So I my vote was for you not commenting on anything related to the game except voting a player who played similarly to you. I'm not going to be able to try getting up at 6am in order to place a vote

My first thought is that Skeezix looks pretty good for being the first to bring up Mahaloth's scummy day one vote. That would take some crazy balls, to bus your redirector right out of the box like that. Crazy-bunny also looks pretty good, due to the timing of her vote (early) and again due to Mahaloth's role (pretty much strongest scum role there is). I'm not nearly as confident of Cookies and Guiri; I think those votes need more context.
Given a tentative assignment of crazy-bunny as town, I wonder if what the scum have is a watcher. I'd never have targeted crazy-bunny myself as paranoid doc, but I can't say what Suburban would have done. If he was there, though, he might have been seen, and killed on the assumption of being doctor or investigator.
Probably far too much speculation, not least because of only one kill last night.

I'm not going to be able to try getting up at 6am in order to place a vote All times on the following discussion are GMT, unless otherwise specified. I will remind you that Ulla lives in Denmark, which is on Central European time; so Dusk was at 8am (9am your time). What I meant was what I said - that it was impractical for me to get up early enough to place my vote before Ulla closed the Day. I'd tried it on Day 1, and failed, and Day 1 ended an hour later than Day 2 did (9am, not 8). After placing my vote on Pede, I reread the Day, and that led me into a close examination of the end of Day 1. My original plan had been to analyse the last part of the Day, post my comments and vote (or my reasons for not changing my vote) before retiring. Things took longer than estimated, so I slept on actually posting my results so I could read the post in a (relatively) clear-headed state and catch any egregious errors.

I'm struggling to work out Bunny being blocked again, unless suburban's power still worked despite him being killed. The paranoid Archangel role in the Giraffe game mentioned earlier only blocked the vote of the protected player and still worked the day after I was killed in that game.
I would like Bunny to place a vote on anyone at all to see if this was part of the 'paranoid' element to Suburban's role. If the vote count doesn't show it, it will confirm Bunny's claim. If it does, we have to assume that the paranoia consisted solely of blocking Bunny's investigation and that it somehow still worked despite Suburban's death. Or that there is another roleblocking role apart from the dead scum roleblocker, Town Archangel and paranoid doc, or that Bunny's/b] scum.

Mahaloth was redirector, not roleblocker. If town, bunny could have been and very likely was visited by Mahaloth or by a scum roleblocker in addition to any town powers that may have been there.
Also, I really think there's no reason to expect any vote shenanigans stemming from SP's role. The implementation in SisC's game was very nonstandard.

Scum could still have a roleblocker, you're right. Damn. I know the voting thing isn't a standard element, but however unlikely it is, it's worth a vote from Bunny.

I know the voting thing isn't a standard element, but however unlikely it is, it's worth a vote from Bunny. I disagree with this; it doesn't really give us any useful information to know if bunny's vote counts or doesn't count. It certainly doesn't tell us anything about SubPlank's powers (which, honestly, my games are nothing to judge other games on because I tend to go very odd places). Bunny may have been protected by SubPlank; if so, I suspect death may be in the cards toNight, but perhaps not. Bunny may have been blocked by Scum. Scum may have an ability to vote block. But the only thing Bunny's vote not counting would tell us is that Bunny's vote doesn't count. And there are too many variables to make knowing that worthwhile at this point.

@ SisCoyote: Sigh. Your argument was weak yesterDay. Letting it sit overnight has not made it any better. I couldn't find where you explained why you consider it weak. The only response you made was: @ SisCoyote: In the rules, it says that we can fantasize about the other players. Your use of the "!=" in your post hints that you are a programmer or have knowledge of programming. *Sighhhhhhhhhh* And you didn't answer my question from yesterDay about your reasons for keeping your vote on Harmless despite the claim but not even mentioning your suspicions of him(?) when voting or when directly asked for your thoughts of him on Day 2. @ Burby: I'm sorry to see you go. I was hoping to ask you some questions toDay. What did you want to ask him?

I'd be comfortable with a vote on Bob at this point, but I'm going to look elsewhere for a bit. His repeatedly inaccurate paraphrasing of what I said or didn't say yesterday definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. If my suspicions are misplaced and he's town, he's playing carelessly when it comes to attention to detail, even after his errors had been pointed out to him the first time, to anti-town results.
