Battlestar Galactica mafia

If we are to believe everyone, then it is either tales or aqui1a then!

 

remove vote for now.

 

Apologies -- In response to the above question to me; my role is a pretty passive one, yet if it appeared in the write up it would effectively tell me who is most likely a mafia and who definitely isn't, which would be too powerful, is I'm sure Smeagol's reasoning.

If Aqui1a would just come online... We could find out which person is lying and claiming his role. All Sméagol needs is a pm from him to not be flagged as inactive.

 

Sméagol if the mafia were to send Aqui1a's pm he wouldn't be flagged as inactive right? I ask because it is just interpretation of the rules which needs to be cleared up. All you need is a pm from him is how I read it.

Voting count:

 

There are 10 active players.

Absolute majority is 6.

 

Lynch:

[Paj Meen Ah] [2]: The Peeps / mr-paul

[Zell] [1]: Ellmeister / heroicjanitor

[Aqui1a] [3]: Zell

 

Majority for lynch vote has not been reached.

Well, that's because I prefer individual PM's even from the mafia. However, because it's tradition to just post it on their forum, I'll allow that in general. But I'd still need to see some activity on that forum from everyone.

HeroJan, how long does your arrest power work for/does it stop people from doing things/being targeted? I'm only wondering because I was thinking of discouraging Ellmeister so he doesnt punch anyone tonight, but if you've got him covered I can encourage/discourage someone else.

Should two protectors/jailkeeps openly be saying who they'll be targetting? Gives the mafia too much to work on, and gives you, mr-paul, a shade of suspicion.

I was just intrigued. And I wasn't asking him what he was going to do, I was asking the effects of something he had already done so I didnt waste my power so it helps someone tonight.

If he doesn't want to answer though I'm fine with that and willl try and work out what to do alone.

They stay in the brig for a turn, ie a night phase and a day phase. He'll be free to do what he wants tonight.

 

Zell has a double vote(strange because he didn't when he voted no lynch). That 3 is a mistake from when I was down as voting for Aqui1a, and Zell should have 2 vote on him.

 

I'm not sure how far the mafia are from majority, but right now I think Zell should be lynched. He has a double vote and doesn't appear in the write-up.

 

Paj do you have any results from your investigations?

 

Bolded to make sure you see it

I'm not sure about Zell being the killer, it doesn't seem like a completely accurate way of finding out who the killer is. We know people can store up ability points or be given extra... what if a killer has 2 ability points? Surely then they'd be able to kill and still perform a night action to look innocent. I don't think Sméagol would have everyone except the killer in the write-up, does that seem likely?

 

I will Vote: Aqui1a though because of inactivity. He always starts off active and loses his way... I'm sure he'll start posting if we put the vote on him and we can get some answers.

If it's between me and Aqui1a, it isn't much of a choice.

 

Vote Lynch: Aqui1a

Hmmm, it is very tricky what to do... we didn't make any progress and none today really either, although we now know who most people are. Smeagol hinted up there that Aqui1a might be mafia and is inactive on their forum. I will Change Vote Lynch: Aquila just for his inactiveness really, and everyone else has given an explanation other than him.

Heroic, I don't have a double vote. I think it's an error by the mod. Anyway didn't you have a double vote at one point?

God dammit I wish that inactive flag meant their character was inactive... Fairly useless otherwise.

 

Lynching Aqui1a will at least tell us if someone is lying. I am worried that the mafia is close to majority though. Ok I'll arrest Zell and Paj to see what their characters are. I don't want to lynch the wrong person and have the mafia win... They have a max of 5 votes if you include Zell's double, and assume 6 starting mafia players, which means that a wrong lynch and a kill will give them majority... I don't like how quickly people went for Aqui1a either.

 

Heroic, I don't have a double vote. I think it's an error by the mod. Anyway didn't you have a double vote at one point?

 

You don't? I never had one either.

[..]

Sorry, games keeping me distracted . Plus the fact I was pretty late with the last deadline, so I'm giving it a few more hours. I'll do the count round noon.

 

And.. Aren't you guys forgetting something? Anyone for the button?

Vote for Exuctioner

Could you fix the vote count? Zell's triple vote looks might suspicious :p I want to make sure he has no double

Final voting count:

 

There are 10 active players.

Absolute majority is 6.

 

Lynch:

[Zell] [1]: Ellmeister / heroicjanitor

[Aqui1a] [6]: Zell / The Peeps / Tales / mr-paul

 

[executioner]: Tales

 

Majority for lynch vote has been reached.

 

End of turn [6] - dayphase

 

Several people wanted to take matters into their own hands today. They went looking for a couragous woman. However, when they entered her quarters, she was nowhere to be found..

 

Near the airlock, a person walks by.

"Hey! Who left the outer doors of the airlock open? People these days don't have feel any responsibility anymore.."

The outer doors get closed. The person enters the airlock to check it out. A letter is stuck on the wall with a knife. It reads:

"I can't do this anymore"

Maybe someone..?

 

Kendra Shaw is deceased. She hasn't been seen for a while was good, and she was Helena Cain's razor.

She was played by Aqui1a.

 

Start of turn [6] - nightphase

 

Edited January 4, 2011 by Sméagol

What... Automerge.

I'll be going in a an hour, and will probably be gone for the whole day / evening, so I won't be able to send deadline reminders in a timely fashion. So don't forget those PMs!

(have a few already, so thanks!)

I'm waiting for 1 PM. But although I could go ahead without it, I'm tired anyway after watching 4 movies, so I'll just do the write-up when I get up..

This game made me start watching Battlestar Galactica... it's such a fantastic show!

 

I'm tired of sleeping!

End of turn [6] - nightphase

 

The corridors of the Galactica are all but empty.. A stray dog runs around. He feels something's not right. He's looking for the inquisitive woman. He finds her in her quarters.. But she seems depressed, like she's given up. The dog barks, trying to get her to take action, but to no avail. The inquisitve woman just ignores him.

 

In the grumpy man's office, the anxious woman doesn't look so anxious anymore.

"I've come to take you away" she says.

"But I have a housecall to make."

"That won't be necessary. Just come."

She holds him at gunpoint. The grumpy man's relyctantly complies. They fly away in her Raptor.

 

Somewhere else, the doubtful woman is making a final attempt to gets somebody's attention. She sees a sexy woman pass by.

"Oh gods, you know what I heard? That you suck at Smash Bros!"

The cat she brought along hisses towards the sexy woman simultaneously. The sexy woman is unfazed by the doubtful woman's taunt, and ignores her, and her cat. The doubtful woman has a worried look on her face, she can't shake the feeling she not realising her full potential.

 

The sexy woman moves on, untill she's stopped by some soldiers, who are being lead by the loyal man.

"You're under arrest", he lets her know.

Seeing she's outnumbered, she won't try anything foolish.. She just abides her time.

"It won't matter anyway", she mentiones while she's being escorted to the brig.

 

When there, it becomes clear the loyal man has been busy today. Already in the brig sits the idealistic man. The guarding soldiers shut the door to the brig.

"So, you've been arrested as well?" the sexy woman asks the idealistic man.

"Yes, a minor setback, I was making preparations.."

"It doesn't matter. We will still proceed accoring to plan."

 

In the hangar, the Raptor returns. The anxious woman gets out, but the grumpy man is nowhere to be seen. She proceeds to the CIC, where the defected woman is working.

"So you've been the one who's causing us so much trouble?" the anxious woman asks.

"It's not right what you are doing! We can live together!"

"I doubt it."

The anxious woman takes her sidearm and shoots the defected woman. She falls to the floor.

 

Sharon Agathon is deceased. She was unknowingly causing the evil Cylons much trouble good, and she was a Colonial sympathiser.

She was played by jayseven.

 

"It is done", the anxious woman says.

The watchful woman arrives at the scene.

"Good, we got rid of most of the key persons, we can now take over the fleet. Alert the basestar, then we'll get our people."

Both proceed to the brig.

 

The loyal man is still there with some soldiers, guarding the prisoners. The watchful woman and anxious woman arrive, not hesitating to shoot the soldiers. They didn't stand a chance. The loyal man knows there's nothing he can do in this situation.

"Release the two prisoners", the watchful woman demands.

"You! I'd have never guessed.."

"Just open it."

The loyal man releases the idealistic man and the sexy woman.

"Come with us, since you're the commander, we need you in CIC", the watchful woman commands.

The loyal man complies.

 

Back in CIC, the watchful woman points out the DRADIS to the loyal man.

"See that? That's our basestar. Your ship, with its skeleton crew, is in no condition to fight it. Get the last few resisting people in here, we have some demands to make."

The loyal man summons some people over the comm system. Soon, the doubtful woman, the inquisitive woman arrive. A bit later, the anxious woman arrives, having brought back the grumpy man from another ship in the fleet, where he could not interfere with their plans.

"As you can see, there's nothing you can do anymore" the watchful woman says to people gathered in the CIC.

"You won't dare lay a finger on me!" the inquisitive woman shouts.

The watchful woman responds:

"We have killed enough of our own. Since I'm not as spiteful as my predecessor, I will make you a proposition, to all of you, now we've taken control over the fleet. Simply never set foot again on the twelve colonies. That's our territory now."

The watchful woman turns to the inquisitive woman again.

"you can live on New Caprica with your human allies. Have fun there."

She adresses the whole crowd again.

"Or, of course, you can die here. Your choice."

 

The loyal man opens a channel to the whole fleet.

"People of the fleet, this is your commander speaking. The Cylons have overtaken us. They demand we never return to our 12 colonies again. Every ship should set course to the coordinates you will receive shortly."

The coordinates for New Caprica are transmitted to the other ships. They are preparing to leave.

Meanwhile, the Cylons, head to the hangar, where a heavy raider is waiting for them to return them to the basestar.

"That went well", the sexy woman says.

"No kidding, I expected more resistence honestly", the watchful woman responds.

"Too bad, I wanted to take over presidency", the idealistic man says.

"You can be president of New Caprica", the watchful woman sarcastically comments.

"I can fly you there", the anxious woman adds.

"Nah."

 

The Colonials & Colonial sympathisers have been defeated. The evil Cylons have won the game.

 

End of game.

Comment:

Some quick comments now, as I'll be leaving shortly:

- I am hugely disappointed in town's general performance. Some exceptions, notably heroicjanitor, Nintendohnut, jayseven, although he didn't know it as his ability didn't give him feedback, and Jonnas, for actively participating eventhough his character was, for all intents and purposes, dead. But Jonnas dies very quickly, and Nintendohnut got killed off fast when he proved to be useful, so it was pretty much only heroicjanitor who did all the work. I was hoping for far more discussion, but a lot of things from my write-ups or the numerous private messages I sent, went undiscussed.

- Role descriptions will be posted tonight, as I don't have time for them now (expect a wall of text).

- After that, I intend to post all the actions people have done, but this will also be quite some text, so I'll leave that for tomorrow probably.

Awww... Man :/ At least I got an honourable mention, and was right in trusting Herojan.

 

Wait a sec, I see 4 cylons and 5 townies! What gives?

 

EDIT: Wait, I was wrongly counting Dannyboy as a townie. Why did he win that half-point, again?

Yup, like I've mentioned before, I made some changes to the story, in order to keep things interesting, especially for those familiar with the show. It's therefore especially unfortunate Diageo assumed too much and didn't trust his reports, eventhough they were 100% accurate. On turn 5 I believe he got the report that The Peeps, playing Anastacia Dualla, is, unlike her real counterpart, actually a Cylon. This was probably something town would have liked to know, but there was absolutely no discussion on that day.

Tom Zarek was Cylon (and evil) too. Paj, playing D'Anna, was part of the "Final 4", which also never got a mention. Again, role descriptions tonight, as I'm off.

I really thought The Peeps was good... I thought he was being foolish by voting for Aqui1a. I made him vice-president too

 

I knew my only chance was to roleblock two of the three mafia members I thought remained. Tales, mr-paul and Zell. I picked mr-paul and Zell. So unlucky! What was Ellmeister anyway? Why did he have no vote when he went for Zell and Zell got an extra one?

Another thing is if I hadn't been mistakenly put as a voter along with Zell I wouldn't have believed there was still a mistake. We had no chance anyway, even if I screamed to vote for Zell the town weren't active enough. I want to see if paj was an investigative reporter or something, that would have been handy.

 

I love how I started off with no powers whatsoever and turned into God halfway through :p
