MagPiesRUs Posted January 3, 2014 Canute Grey-Bush (CallMePie) sat out late at night, trying to remember the tale of his previous death. "Ah, yes!" Canute said to himself as he paced around, "I was tracking Patrekr the Red, trying to make sure he wasn't up to no good. Next thing I knew, he was swinging an axe at my face! These paranoid axe owners are crazy, I tell you!" "I'd never do anything like that..." Canute continued to ramble, "If someone ever tried to target me at night, I would welcome them with open arms..." Just then, a shadowy figure appeared behind Canute and gleefully jabbed their scummy sword into his back. Old and senile, however, Canute had already forgotten about what he had planned if someone targeted him, and instead swung his axe at his assailant's face! Caught off guard, the dark figure could do nothing against Canute's relentless attack. Canute had fought off his attacker, but had suffered a fatal wound. Bleeding profusely, he staggered back into the hall... ... Leaving behind a bewildered Baulf (Bob)... Meanwhile, Helga Pudding-Head (Hinckley) was impatiently waiting at the window. Do the einherjar still have a chance? she wondered... She did not hear the approach of a second shadowy figure behind her. Sensing that their time was right, the sword-wielder advanced towards an unsuspecting Helga... Helga turned around just in time to see the figure raise their sword... ... And place it gently in her hands... "Now is the time to strike!" the dark figure said, "We succeeded in convicting the Einherjar Patrekr the Red yesterday, and Canute Grey-Bush, also an Einherjar, is on his way out too. Our master is pleased with us... As we speak, he is leading an army to destroy the Gods once and for all!" "What about Baulf?" Helga asked, "is he still alive?" "Apparently, the shock value hurt more than the actual wound. He will be alright..." "Excellent!" Helga snarled, "Father! I have finally done you proud! Ragnarök is upon us at last! Oink oink oink oink!" The sun was rising in Himinbjörg, where the watchman Heimdallr began to sense a rumbling in the distance... Just ahead rode Loki, and behind him came an army of monsters. The giant wolf Fenrir, the dragon Nidhogg and the serpent Jörmungand were among them... Realising that Ragnarök was upon them, Heimdallr blew his great horn, hoping to alert the other Gods before it was too late... Thanks to the tireless work of his servants, Loki had regained his strength and was now prepared to go to war. Eying his foe, he galloped across the field and made towards him, sword raised. Unwilling to allow Loki to triumph, Heimdallr stood before him unwavering... As he was making his way to Valhalla, Thor heard a noise echoing through the sky. It was the horn of Heimdallr! The horn had not reached Thor soon enough however. Rising up before him came Jörmungand the Serpent... ... Who caught Thor and his chariot in the air... "We are too late!" lamented Odin, hearing the horn blast in the sky. "We have made a terrible mistake. I must get back to Valhalla and make things right..." Suddenly, the wolf Fenrir burst out of the trees, sensing an opportunity to strike... Odin turned around just in time to see the beast racing toward him... Back at Valhalla, Canute continued to stumble around, searching for someone to assist him... Canute was startled to find the towering figure of Snotra Carrotface (Scubacarrot) before him. Raising her rolling pin, she advanced towards poor Canute. His energy spent, Canute could do nothing to stop her relentless assault on his noggin. He was slain. Across the hall, Wilhalm Bloodaxe (WhiteFang) was minding his own business. Snotra proceeded to whack him in the head too, because why not? "Wait, what are you doing?" a voice called out from behind Snotra. It was Snotra! The newly arrived Chief Mursi (Cornelius Murdock) and the recovering Wilhalm looked on at the two Snotras, baffled. "Listen to me!" Snotra began, "The other Snotra is a shapeshifting Servant of Loki! We have to kill her!" "What?" Snotra said, "You're the imposter. I'm the real Snotra. Kill her!" "You must believe me!" Snotra pleaded, "I am Snotra! Here, I'll say something dick-ish! I think your beard is hideous!" "Wait, I'm more dick-ish! Your face makes me nauseous! Kill her!" Just then, a black shroud of smoke swirled around one of the Snotras, and the figure began to morph into something truly monstrous... It was Helga Pudding-Head! "Damnit!" she said, "My powers have worn off!" "Aha! The treacherous Helga has revealed herself!" said Mursi, "This makes our little conundrum far easier!" Mursi, Wilhalm and Baulf proceeded to jump on Snotra and tear her poor carrot-face apart. Snotra was one of the Einherjar. Chief Mursi came to a horrible realisation, "But if Snotra, Patrekr and Canute were all einherjar, then that means..." A pitchfork suddenly pierced Mursi's back and he collapsed, gasping. Mursi, the last of the Einherjar, was dead. The Servants of Loki had achieved their goal at last! The traitors of Valhalla heard a voice from up on the balcony. It was Harald! "Well done!" Harald said, throwing off his pineapple-styled garb, "Finally, the einherjar have been defeated and Ragnarök is upon us! When I approached you all about this plot, I knew you would succeed. All our hard work has finally paid at last!" "Why did I do it, you ask? Why did I, Harald, break my oath and betray Valhalla? Well, let me explain..." "We already know," one of the servants of Loki said, "you told us when you first came to us with your plot. You really should have delivered your monologue while the last einherjar were still alive." "Oh. That's right, actually. Well, let me tell you again anyway..." Before Harald could begin however, a great dragon burst through the window... "What is this?!" Harald exclaimed. The dragon eyed Harald down... ... Then, lunging forward, caught him in its mouth. The other servants of Loki could only watch on in horror and the great beast devoured their leader. With one mighty gulp, Harald was no more. The dragon then turned its attention to the remaining servants, who quickly overturned one of the tables in the vain hope that it would protect them from whatever was to come. With a roar, the dragon unleashed a storm of fire down onto the warriors below. Congratulations to the Servants of Loki - Wilhalm Bloodaxe (WhiteFang), Helga Pudding-Head (Hinckley), Baulf (Bob) and the deceased Dufa the Godless (def) and Finn the Squinter (fhomess)! "Why did we try to bring about Ragnarök again? In hindsight, I feel like this was a bad idea..." And so Ragnarök fell upon all things, and the world as we Vikings knew it was ended...

def Posted January 3, 2014 That was great fun, and one of the most satisfying team wins I've had. Thanks for a fun game, Pies, and thanks to a well-oiled scum team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Posted January 3, 2014 What's up with the two Snotras and the double-scum kill from the other night? Congratulations, scum! The scum had the ability to "shapeshift" (that was the rolename) into a different character. Last night, Hinckley shapeshifted into Snotra. As for the double-kill, Hinckley shapeshifted into me and we were able to use two kills. I really thought that I was in hot water when I posted that there was a possibility of a "morph" on Day Six, but nobody else picked up on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hinckley Posted January 3, 2014 One, great job Scum team, everyone played their part so well. Two, there's an odd dichotomy to playing a game where you have to lie to friends and I fear I may have crossed the line a bit here. I won't celebrate the win until I know those I lied to the most aren't pissed at me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mencot Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Great play scum team and thanks for hosting a great game TPRU I so should have killed you on night one, you annoying pisslady then maybe the town would had had an slightly better chance in this game Edited January 3, 2014 by Mencot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted January 3, 2014 Great play scum team and thanks for hosting a great game TPRU I so should have killed you on night one, you annoying pisslady then maybe the town would had had an slightly better chance in this game Annoying pisslady? I think def put it best on the dead writeboard: this Scum team was selfless and showed great teamwork. That's what led to our win. That, and we took advantage of some discourse amongst Townies. We also began planning right away. We had fake PMs to each other and decided to be proactive early so we didn't have to be reactive when accused. This put us out in front and less likely to be questioned. We also did a lot of WIFOM, engaging in activities that it is commonly thought Scum would never engage in like making accusations or voting first. We were all ready with fake roleclaims. That was a lot of fun. I got the nostalgic feel of old-school Mafia playing this. It was about having fun playing a game. Nice. TinyPies, your hosting is second to none. I love the pictures and the story telling and all the detail you put in. Your sense of humor is great and your willingness to let me hit people with rolling pins (which almost got me lynched) is much appreciated. I know my in-thread game was much more subdued than normal but I put on a show behind the scenes. Oh, the PMs!!! Bob, WhiteFang and especially def and fhomess who let themselves get bussed to strengthen our position as trusted Townies, you all rock! It was such a pleasure playing with you. Rick, Scuba, CallMePie and especially Cornelius, I apologize for all of the Scummy manipulation. If it makes you feel any better, Karma bit me in the megablocks and I drove around Miami for two hours tonight looking for a hotel. I'm pretty sure that's for lying to you guys. Great game, everybody! Can't wait to start dissecting all of the little moments, but it's almost 3 here, so talk to you all later! Much love! And congratulations to Bob, first survival win!

Hinckley Posted January 3, 2014 And since this has become a new tradition, my role PM: Helga Pudding-Head (Hinckley) Claim to Fame: The daughter of the acclaimed hero Hervi, Helga idolised her dad and yearned to emulate his deeds, despite his protestations. After Hervi drowned in a puddle, Helga inherited the swineherd business. Although she attempted to utilise Hervi's intimate knowledge of pig farming, Helga simply did not possess the same zeal for the job. Desperate for excitement, Helga sought out the nearest bandit hideout and slaughtered them - all with a pitchfork and bucket. Cause of Death: Drowned in a puddle on the way back. Current Status: Searching for her father in Valhalla, whom she is convinced is the greatest of the einherjar. Alignment: Servants of Loki Night Action: You are the shapeshifter. Every day, you may target one player. You will copy the targeted player's role and affiliation (when investigated). If the targeted player has a night action, you will be able to use the same action for that night. You may not shapeshift into the same player two days in a row. If you shapeshift into a scum player, you will only have a 50% chance of successfully using their night action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mencot Posted January 3, 2014 Annoying pisslady? You noticed the -> smiley, no offence meant what meant by that: my expirence playing with you was only for one day and the ox urin talk you had going and other and a few other things bugged me out. That was what I meant with the "pisslady" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted January 3, 2014 People need to get used to the nonsense of day one. The same jokes that have been floating around for years are not scum tells. They might not even be funny, but they aren't scum tells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mencot Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) People need to get used to the nonsense of day one. The same jokes that have been floating around for years are not scum tells. They might not even be funny, but they aren't scum tells. If you meant by this comment to be an answer to me calling Hinckleys character a pisslady, you are way off. Ofcourse I knew he was roleplaying and day one is always full of nonsence as you say it! I do it, I love roleplaying and I always continue roleplaying after day 1 to many players dismay and annoyance. (because that is fun and it bugs others ) But it was not his roleplaying why i would had killed him. I was planning on not to kill anyone on night one but I got a gut feeling I wouldn´t be around for long (proven right about that) so I wanted to try help the town out. I had some possible killing candidates to go on but I chose wrong, thats the name of the game(can´t always win) Edited January 3, 2014 by Mencot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted January 3, 2014 Fair enough. One suggestion though, if you ever get vig again, don't kill on day one! (Unless I'm on the opposing scum team, in which case, please do ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mencot Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) That was my original plan but the gut feeling about me getting killed in a near future ruined it Edited January 3, 2014 by Mencot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scubacarrot Posted January 3, 2014 I really thought that I was in hot water when I posted that there was a possibility of a "morph" on Day Six, but nobody else picked up on it. I said it. But.. People didn't listen to me, so there you go. Hinckley... You're pretty good... And I will never trust you ever again. The game was really, really awesomely hosted. It was a real pleasure to be a part of it, thanks for having me! And of course the rest of the scum team did a great job as well, but I did not have quite as much contact with you, so. So... before I delve into why people on the writeboard that call me names are wrong, let me just say, I need to figure out a way that people will actually listen to me. Not being a dick might help, but last time that lead to mass suspicion of me. Also, honorary scum, I am honored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonfire Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I've been following this game as it progressed. I hope to get into the next Mafia School game and I wanted to pick up tips and tactics from reading an actual Mafia game (I also read Minimal Mafia and Mafia after Dark). I'm surprised by how it ended. I originally thought the scum were def, Palathadric, Bob, Scubacarrot and LegoDad. Hinckley, fhomess and WhiteFang came as surprises to me...

def Posted January 3, 2014 @dragonfire, I have to ask, do you know what the term 'towniest of towns' means? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted January 3, 2014 Then how can you judge who the Towniest town are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Nemo Posted January 3, 2014 I figured this would happen, once I read the dead-board. I knew something was fishy about Hinck talking to him in private but I didn't peruse it further before I was killed. Also TinyPiesRS you left me out of the roles list! How will everyone know I was telling the truth! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonfire Posted January 3, 2014 I just thought they seemed the most town-like from their posts in the earlier day threads. By 'towniest', I meant I was more sure that they were town than anyone else. I was surprised when neither of them turned out to be town, that's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
