Bob Posted May 10, 2015 Main Street Mafia Day One: Mass Exodus True to the Mayor's words, traffic out of the town took up two lanes as people traveled in a massive convoy of various assembled modes of transportation that were in the immediate reach to do this scene. Leaving behind a diminished police force, who looked saddened at the departure of their fellow citizens. "We don't look saddened." says one of the officers. That's because your facial exp ressions don't change. A few days later, the investigation into the corruption at City Hall led to the arrest of the City Treasurer. "And I would have gotten away with it to, if it wasn't for you meddling officers!" he said. The Mayor, the Prosecutor, and the Chief of Police stood quite proudly behind the arrested man, satisfied that they had weeded out a scumbag from their administration. However, they were quickly halted by... A huge lynch mob of the townsfolk that remained gathered to confront the corrupt politician, carrying various weapons ranging from clubs to pots to lightsabers to jerks! "What do we want?!" somebody from the crowd cheered. "A lynch mob!!!" they all yelled. "When do we want it?!" "As soon as it's convenient!!!" "Citizens, please!" the Mayor pleaded. "I know you're all really angry, but we can't stoop down and resort to this kind of violence!" But suddenly, a shot rang out, piercing the silence that fell after the Mayor's speech. The bullet hit the City Treasurer, and he flew back to the ground. The police reacted by pointing their weapons at the various buildings, but they didn't know where the shot came from! The townsfolk didn't react, since they were all used to the gunfire by this point and they wanted to know if the treasurer was still alive so they could beat him to death. "Oh screw the justice system." the Mayor said, obviously pissed off. He descended down from the Town Hall, and started to step onto the now former city treasurer. Using the body as a makeshift platform, he spoke to the townspeople. "For too long we have lived in constant fear of the Milano Mafia! It is obvious to me that there are members of the mafia amongst you. That these crimes could continue with all the other citizens gone means that some of you must be scum! Therefore, every day I want you to vote amongst yourselves and bring me whoever you think is scum. The fate of the town is in your hands!" Emboldened by the Mayor's speech, the citizens talk amongst themselves about which of their friends could possibly be scum. "Why don't we just investigate them all more thoroughly than not at all?" the Chief of Police asked. "Shut up." ~~~ Players (18): Sarah Harris, owner of the Grand Emporium -- Jackjonespaw Christopher Harris, Sarah's Husband -- Dragonfire Brian Barnes, owner of the Green Grocer -- Shadows Wanda Barnes, Brian's Wife -- Piratedave84 Eric Foster, Co-owner of Chez Albert -- Palathadric Ann Foster, Co-owner of Chez Albert -- StickFig Eugene Bryant, Chef at Chez Albert -- Dannylonglegs Carl Hill, Waiter at Chez Albert -- KingoftheZempk Irene Allen, Firefighter -- Mostlytechnic Louis Murphy, Owner of the Pet Shop -- Jamesn Katherine Murphy, Louis' Wife -- jluck Linda Cook, Owner of the Palace Cinema -- TrumpetKing Al Cooper, Owner of Al's Barber Shop -- TinyPiesRUs Pamela Cooper, Al's Wife -- Tamamono Ace Brickman, Private Detective -- Kintobar Shirley Carter, Brickman's Secretary and Lover -- def Russell Price, Dockworker -- Sandy Gregory McHenry, Res-Q Seaman -- Lady K Rules: 1) Every player has received their own character. You are either aligned as a Townie or Scum. The town need to eliminate the scum and the scum need to outnumber the town. Any third party characters have received their own conditions. 2) Every day you will be able to vote for a player. Voting should be done as so: Vote: Character (Player). Unvoting is to be done in the same fashion: Unvote: Character (Player). A majority vote is required to lynch a player. You must vote every day, or you'll receive some sort of devious punishment. 3) A game day will last 72 hours, but if a unanimous vote is acheived after the 48 hour mark and the day thread goes quiet, the day may end early to my discresion. You may not vote within the first 24 hours of the day. Once the day is over, you will have 24 hours to send in a night action if this applies to you. Nights will last at most 48 hours, but it usually won't and I'm just saying that so nobody faults me if I'm late. You may not talk about the game outside of the day thread. 4) The alignment of players who have been lynched, as well as those who died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5) You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. This includes the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6) You are encouraged to role-play in this game. I've provided a role for you to expand upon if you wish. With that being said, please try not to post out of character in the game thread. You may PM other players, but do so at your own risk. 7) If you die, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any players. Any information you had is null and void and is not allowed to be passed on under any circumstances. 8) Don't edit your posts. 9) You must post in every day thread. 10) Try to be nice to your fellow players. It's a game on a LEGO forum. 11) Violation of your first rule will result in a 5-vote penalty and your second violation will result in your death! 12) If any player asks you to break these rules or does break these rules in private, report them to me immediately with proof of their violation.

mostlytechnic Posted May 10, 2015 Well, I'm just starting out saying that I'm suspicious of everyone, but especially those who keep promoting donuts. I think that's actually slang for bribes of our police and other govt officials, and that's why we've got these problems here. And heck, looks like our police are so corrupt and lazy that it might be just actual donuts that ARE the bribe. Wouldn't surprise me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mostlytechnic Posted May 10, 2015 Hey, you starting the name calling already? It's just the start of day 1, we're not supposed to call people idiots and jerks and morons until at least day 3 or so.

JackJonespaw Posted May 10, 2015 Besides, my theory on the donuts is solid I tell ya! We sell donuts at the Emporium. As well as everything else. Hmm...looks like no one knows who's town...and we don't want to hurt the town...how about a no-lynch? (Note: this is totally a joke and I don't want a no lynch so please don't attack me as usually happens. I am well aware of my faults. Good day.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dannylonglegs Posted May 10, 2015 Eat my fat French bread, Mafiosos! Everyone should! It's great! I guarantee it! I've tried it myself! Mwah! Fantastique! We sell donuts at the Emporium.

And heck, looks like our police are so corrupt and lazy that it might be just actual donuts that ARE the bribe. Wouldn't surprise me! So your against promoting the economy? I don't think the mob's the thing we need to worry about here. Seriously though, if there's a bunch of swindlers and mafioso types around here, Ace Brickman is going to help rat them out! And if you see my lovely secretary, let me know. This Shelly woman is getting on my nerves, impersonating Shirley... Hmm! You're right! Maybe we should analyse the pictures too!

Lady K Posted May 11, 2015 Well, I'm just starting out saying that I'm suspicious of everyone, but especially those who keep promoting donuts. I think that's actually slang for bribes of our police and other govt officials, and that's why we've got these problems here. And heck, looks like our police are so corrupt and lazy that it might be just actual donuts that ARE the bribe. Wouldn't surprise me! So about those donuts. I was reading this really good novel about a really bad guy that was always one step ahead of the cops by leaving a trail of donuts away from him. The cops were constantly taking donut breaks and never caught him. So we may want to keep any eye out for donuts on the ground. Don't eat them. I think I'll just use this spear here to get some fish for dinner before I head back to the lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted May 11, 2015 (Snip) I think I'll just use this spear here to get some fish for dinner before I head back to the lighthouse. Fish dinner?! How dare you!

def Posted May 11, 2015 Well, I'm not surprised the town is already gone higglety pigglety. It seems to happen a lot around here. At the very least, I can confirm for you that I'm town, as townie as it gets, and you can trust that because I am known as a truth teller. As for the rest of you, I'm voting for one of you. I will not be voting for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously I'm not hitting on her or anything, I'm happily married and all, but you know. So yeah, look at those melons! What? Oh no, I mean we just got a fresh shipment of melons at the Green Grocer. Probably the last shipment we'll get until this whole mess is resolved. Be sure to stop in and if you show us your melons, we'll give you a discount on ours!

Hmm...looks like no one knows who's town...and we don't want to hurt the town...how about a no-lynch? No-lynch: check. Hmm! You're right! Maybe we should analyse the pictures too! Analyze the pictures: should be a few days later, but check. You people seem only to care about your stomachs! This is a life or death situation! Why isn't anyone else panicking right now? Fluff RP: check (and no, this is not to incriminate Dragonfire just happened to be the post that was up when I hit MultiQuote).

I have to say, so far Shelly is making the most sense, I will also be voting for one of you and not myself. Someone trusting Def/Tamo just because they're Def and Tamo: check.

I forgot when we were supposed to start that. I'll wait for later then! Someone trusting Def/Tamo just because they're Def and Tamo: check. What about blindly trusting Shadows? Or does that come later? Do we still do that? I haven't been out of the kitchen in a while. Ah, but there are some things we will always do. Just like later on today, we'll vote off some rube that makes a silly comment before noon, and who can't argue their way out of the lynch for the life of them. there are things we simply must do. For tradition!... just like my traditional Mediterranean sause on our individually handcrafted bucatini pasta at Chez Albert! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fish=scum. 90% chance, I'm calling it. Why thank you! One does their best. *tips chefs hat* *makes sure hair net is still secure* I simply must disagree with your analysis. Fish=meat=good=town. By that logic, then, the donut connoisseurs would be the vegitarians... I mean scum. Well... same difference in my opinion. Anyone who does not eat meat is as good as a murderer.
