Silver City Mafia: Day 5 - Unforgiven

[Tamamono]

Players only please!

Sunday, June 27th

1:04 A.M.

In the dark of night, someone is closing down the Devon General Store...

After hours of doing the work her lazy husband refused to do, Liz locks up the shop for the night.

Sighing, she walks away and comes down the steps.

Suddenly, someone catches her eye...

Could it be..? A real leprechaun..?

In a fit of excitement, Liz hops down the remaining two steps onto the gravel. "T'really is ye! A real, in t'flesh lepr'chaun! 'Ave ye come t' take meh back t'te Emeral' Isle? O, lepr'chaun, take meh now! I 'ave nothin' I partic'lary want to take wit' meh, I jus' wanna be home! O, I'm so excited!!"

Ignoring her exuberance, the "leprechaun" simply cackles and pulls out a large sword. "Hyahaha!"

Liz can't quite figure out why the "leprechaun" is doing this. "What are ye doin', lepr'chaun? Dun be pullin' one a' yer lepr'chaun tricks on-"

"Bleerghh!" poor Liz never gets to finish her sentence.

And thus ends the life of Liz Devon (LegoDad).

2:45 A.M.

A shady figure has just finished burying... something. It's not a particularly good hole, but it'll do, the figure... figures.

"Eh, close enough for government work."

Silver City, AZ

Silver City continues to fall apart. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, my men were unable to find the body of Michael Thompson. Furthermore, we were unable to find anything conclusive as to his affiliation in his house. His loyalties will very likely remain forever Undetermined. In addition, another member of the Village was murdered last night, Liz Devon. It seems these murderers have no intention of stopping their killing sprees.

Let us hope that the citizens of Silver City come to their senses and rid this town of all the murderers before I need to step in and give them some... assistance.

Poor Sheridan Thompson puts on a brave face for the rest of the city. She's lost both of her parents now; while she didn't care much about her dumb, feminine mother, the loss of her father has hit her like a ton of bricks. What's more, she doesn't even have any mourning clothes! Shameful, really...

Patrick Devon is also without proper mourning attire (although he does possess it). As soon as he heard the news about his poor, homesick wife, he set into the store's whisky supply. Although it's only about quarter to nine, he's already completely shitfaced.

"People of Silver City! I address you for the fifth time today, and the murderers are still at large. This can not go on any longer! It's time to finish them off with one final blow! If not, there will be deadly consequences!"

The Rules

1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Village or the Red Coyote Gang. To win the game, the Village must kill off all non-Villagers, while the Coyotes must outnumber the Village. Third-Party (Independent) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles.

2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). Proxy voting is allowed, and must be presented in the following format;Proxy: Character (Player). Unproxying is to be presented in this format; Unproxy: Character (Player) No other format will be accepted. At the end of the day, the player with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the first to achieve their vote count will be lynched. Voting each day is mandatory. Failure to vote will incur a vote penalty the next day. If no one is lynched when the end of a game day comes around, someone will be chosen and killed at random.

3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to me within the first 24 hours of the night stage. Late night actions will not be accepted.

4. The alignment of dead players will be revealed the morning after they die. For example, Player A dies during Night 1, so his affiliation is revealed on Day 2. However, the affiliation of a player lynched on Day 1 will not be revealed until the morning of Day 2.

5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host or other players via PM. This includes all the details of your character, role, conversations, 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. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game.

7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.

8. You may not edit your posts.

9. You must post in every day thread.

10. Violation of the above rules will result in a penalty vote against you for every 5 players still alive on your first offense, and your removal from the game on your second offense. Modkills will not be occurring this game.

If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact me via PM.

Amazing story xD

"What?? Who is this!? He doesn't even live here!! Get out of here, you, we're having an emergency!

Whose jurisdiction!? My jurisdiction - this town is under martial law!

Corporal, take care of him."

"You got it, sir."

*gunshots unsue*

And that was the end of Theodore Geoffery Raleigh (The Ghost Racer).

"I'd like to reveal his affiliation, but he didn't have one. He didn't even live here.

Alright, on with your business, now."

[TheBoyWonder]

So the scum have a janitor. Interesting that we have only just seen that.

[fhomess]

I can't think of a good reason the scum would have janitored Michael if he were town.

[TrumpetKing]

Looks like Michael was janitored. I'm hoping he was scum, but it looks like we won't know. And Liz died too. There also was no poisoner kill last night. Either Michael was the poisoner, or somebody blocked the poisoner, or they decided not to target last night.

I'm awaiting a response from the role cop about their results. I'll be bringing an update soon.

[TheBoyWonder]

The scum may have janitored him to create a bit of confusion, and try to pass him off as scum to get some of their own into a position of trust .

I suppose it's possible. Scum do all sorts of odd things in these parts. As Sheriff, I've seen some of the biggest wackos come through my jail.

That said, look at some of the history on Michael. Clay started things off with a vote against him Day 1. Kane and myself were eager to see him lynched Day 3. Tristan jumped on early on Day 4 eventually leading to his lynch. All of us are still alive and I would think that if Michael were town, the scum really wouldn't have a problem with pointing fingers at any one of us. That said, if Michael is scum, which I strongly believe, that's a number of us that are quite possibly cleared. At any rate, perhaps we should create a search party today to go hunting for the grave so we can dig it up to know for sure. Patrick or Damian are bound to have a few shovels.

Wait a minute... can't Carletta just read all of our palms and get this whole thing over with? Carletta... make yourself useful!

What reason do the scum have to not janitor him? The more info we have, the better, and there was some uncertaincy about his allegiance. At least I still don't think he was scum...

Does anyone wonder why Liz was killed? She was not the most townies of townies, and she wasn't very vocal either. Did the scum know she had an action, or did they just kill her because they were sure she wasn't protected?

Also, no poison kill. I can't imagine why an SK would not use their action, but that doesn't tell us a lot. Maybe he was blocked or protected. Maybe one of us will drop dead later today. Maybe he was Michael.

My main suspect is still Boris. I don't trust Tristan and his Role Cop. I think Sheridan, Kane and Abigail are town.

So, what do you think? Who are your suspects, who do you trust? What's your opinion about Tristan and the Role Cop? I can't wait to learn what they found out tonight. Apparently they're still alive, so I hope they have been doing something useful tonight.

[CMP]

The All-Seeing Carletta Emilia Benita Anne-Marie Rosita Jeanette Priscilla Lucia Annabelle Cecilia Maria Louisa Garcia Giuliana Vittoria Roberta Consuela Rosalina Margarita Puerta apologizes. She got side-tracked late yesterday and ended up a bit lost after that role cop issue.

She's uncertain about Michael's allegiance. Maybe he was scum and they wanted keep his accusers guessing, or maybe he was town and they wanted to just sow confusion? She's leaning towards the former, but supposes we'll never know. (Unless janitorings wear off after some time, which she can vaguely recall from previous situations such as this.)

Abigail has picked up in activity and made meaningful contributions yesterday. Her suspicions of Abigail are quite lessened by this. Boris, however, remains on her list.

So the scum have a janitor. Interesting that we have only just seen that.

The scum may have janitored him to create a bit of confusion, and try to pass him off as scum to get some of their own into a position of trust .

Janitors usually have limited uses, which is why it's more likely Michael was scum and they wished to hide it, else they probably would've it earlier on a different townie. You voted for him, what makes you think he was probably town rather than scum? She understands if you're just listing possibilities, but your logic has been quite off most of our time here...

Also, no poison kill. I can't imagine why an SK would not use their action, but that doesn't tell us a lot. Maybe he was blocked or protected. Maybe one of us will drop dead later today. Maybe he was Michael.

The All-Seeing Carletta's been thinking about this too. Perhaps it was Michael, the scum knew, and wanted to hide it, or perhaps the poisoner was blocked, or his target protected, or maybe it's been delayed again? Maybe Tristan is right, and Kenneth didn't kill to make it look like the blocker/protector got lucky last night? She's unsure about the case on him. The theory about the lack of poison kill days one and two makes sense, but she thinks he's been fairly pro-town.

She implores our protector and/or blocker, if either is alive, to consider their targets last night. We need some kind of information. Even if Michael was scum, it's still dangerously close. And what of the role-cop, Tristan? Does he have new information you could share with us?

[TheBoyWonder]

Just listing possibilities. That's all. I just don't like how people always seem to be acting as if the scums reasoning for actions must be clear as day.

[Adam]

It looks like the Coyotes are doing their best to keep us as uncertain as possible, taking one of our own and at the same time hiding away the body of Michael (Mencot). I believe that he was anti-town, so I can see the scum janitoring him in an effort to keep us in the dark as to whether or not he was scum or third party. It's also possible that he was loyal, though I'm far less inclined to believe that.

Also, no poison kill. I can't imagine why an SK would not use their action, but that doesn't tell us a lot. Maybe he was blocked or protected. Maybe one of us will drop dead later today. Maybe he was Michael.

All of these are possible. I believe that Michael (Mencot) was at the very least anti-town, if not scum, so I can see him being the poisoner. By the way, just as a clarification, I think the poisoner would have had to have been blocked/had his target protected the night before last. Going by the textbook definition of poisoner, if he or she had been blocked/protected last night, we would have to wait until later today or tonight to see the effects of that. This means that even if Michael (Mencot) was the poisoner, his lynching still wouldn't explain the lack of a death last night. As Perry (Peanuts) said, it's very possible that one of us might die later today (from what I've read and from what we concluded yesterday, it seems like the time of death can vary depending on Tammo's God's whimsy). We also theorized that Zachary (Zakura) knew about his poisoning beforehand; if someone here knows that he or she has been poisoned, I would encourage you to speak up, or at the very least tell someone you trust. Even if we can't find a way to save you, at least we can work to draw conclusions from your targeting.

With Michael's true allegiance unknown, I'm more uncertain than ever. I'm still not sure that I trust Tristan's (TrumpetKing) Role Cop - with so many PRs apparently down, I find it hard to believe that the scum would be so lucky if they didn't have assistance. I'm interested to hear what information Tristan (TrumpetKing) relays to us.

[Kadabra]

I'd love to hear our role cop's results as well. Also, why so defensive, Boris? Nervous now that your team is down one?

[Piratedave84]

WHO KILLED MY WIFE!

Show yourselves cowards!

I'll echo the thoughts of others and say that I am extremely curious to hear if the role cop has any results from last night.

As for my suspicions for today, once again and unless I can be proven wrong I would like to point my FOS at Kenneth as I still think he is the poisoner. Others seem to point their FOS at Boris, I can see that he gathered votes/suspicions for the previous 2 days and voted very late (2nd last and last vote) on the last 2 lynches; yesterday's vote justification is also not the best:

I do not want any penalty votes, and I don't like the way Michael seemed to pass suspicion onto Clay without ever stating reasons scummy. Therefore I shall Vote: Michael Thompson (Mencot)

I am not ready to condemn either of those men but as far as I am concerned, these are the 2 best suspects I can think of.

[TrumpetKing]

Well, that was quite a nap. I'm sure you're all wondering what the role cop has shared with me. I can say that Kenneth Emmanuel (fhomess) is not the poisoner, but vanilla. So, I'm thinking our course of action today should be looking into those who haven't spoken much, such as Prudence Jellison (Purpearljellyblob) and Carletta Maria Puerta (CallMePie), or we can look farther into Boris Wheeler (TheBoyWonder), who's been pinging us for quite some time now.

Interesting; I was CONVINCED Kenneth was the poisoner, the timing was just perfect. If the kills were planned to happen as they did, it was an excellent ploy to mislead the town mr. Poisoner.

Based on the vanilla result and Kenneth's past willingness/eagerness to hunt scum, I am pretty sure he is town.

If the role cop is to be trusted, Carletta, Tony and Kenneth should be 'cleared' as being Vanilla. I personally think that those 3 are town. I would also be willing to bet that Abigail and Tristan are town; I am on the fence about all the other villagers.

[Kadabra]

The timing of the kills is indicative of jack, guys. Seriously? Have none of you read this? No matter who the poisoner was we wouldn't have seen poison kills until we did. And furthermore, no, our blocker did not get lucky last night. Our blocker got lucky one or two nights ago, or the poisoner didn't feel like killing one or two nights ago, or there will be a day kill today. So Mencot is not proven to be the poisoner, unless someone can confirm that he was blocked one or two days ago. When you're analyzing a role for information, make sure you understand how the role works. Come on, guys.

[Dannylonglegs]

I suppose it's possible. Scum do all sorts of odd things in these parts. As Sheriff, I've seen some of the biggest wackos come through my jail.

I have me a couple shovels! I use them for my... I mean my pigs' poop. I wish I was a pig. Then I wouldn't have to worry about scum or poison... Just being chopped up and made into delicious bacon.Speaking of which, SLop's up pigs! It's tasty!

As for Micheal, I'm also pretty sure he was scum, but I'm not as sure as I wish we could be. His allegience would have really shed some light on our situation, but now We're just as in the dark as we were before we lynched him, and another townie down. I'm still clinging to my hope that we caught our first scum bag.

Well, that was quite a nap. I'm sure you're all wondering what the role cop has shared with me. I can say that Kenneth Emmanuel (fhomess) is not the poisoner, but vanilla.

Wow! That's honestly a bit surprising. I'm very glad we didn't Lynch him yesterday. Naturally, he could still be a vanilla scum, but I supose this means he's not our killer. I'm inclined to believe he's Town Vanilla too. From what I've read of his posts, it seems like he's trying to help. Carletta on the other hand has not been quite as helpful (although I suppose I'm one to talk. ) Even then though, I think it's smarter to look at those that aren't confirmed vanilla until we run out of suspects. Prudence has posted little, but I'm unsure what to make of that. Unlike Micheal, her posts are not entirely fluff or RP. Boris is my main suspect for today. His behavior had me unsure whether to vote for him or Micheal yesterday, and since I still think that Micheal is scum, that may mean the same for Boris.

[fhomess]

If the role cop is to be trusted, Carletta, Tony and Kenneth should be 'cleared' as being Vanilla. I personally think that those 3 are town. I would also be willing to bet that Abigail and Tristan are town; I am on the fence about all the other villagers.

Why are you so eager to clear us all as town? Vanilla doesn't mean anything beyond having no night action. As has been suggested repeatedly, a vanilla result could just as well mean we're Goons. This is reminding me a bit of Michael's "don't look over here" response to the vote analysis Tristan posted Day 3.

[TheBoyWonder]

I'd love to hear our role cop's results as well. Also, why so defensive, Boris? Nervous now that your team is down one?

I answered a question. They asked what I meant by one of my previous statements so I clarified it. It wasn't even slightly 'so defensive'.

[TrumpetKing]

To be fair, Boris, it did have a slightly defensive tone to it.

[Kadabra]

Just listing possibilities. That's all. I just don't like how people always seem to be acting as if the scums reasoning for actions must be clear as day.

This is defensive. The 'that's all' especially is sort of passive-aggressive.

[TheBoyWonder]

Maybe it did sound aggressive, I didn't intend it to.

'Clearing' townies reduces my list of scum suspects; is that not the aim here, discuss our suspicions (or in this cases A lack of) so as to try and root out scum?

I am aware of what vanilla means, I was expressing that I felt those said to be vanilla were town.

[mostlytechnic]

While Kenneth is right and the vanilla role cop results do NOT mean the person is town, I'm now inclined to think he's town. Not as sure on the other two yet. And of course, that's all depending on the role cop being town and telling us the truth!

I'm also in the "michael was probably scum" camp. Or third party, but I'm almost sure non-town. I can't see them janitoring a townie.

Kane, thanks for reminding everyone again (seriously people....) that the poison takes time to work! I know yesterday that was making me heavily reconsider my attacks on kenneth, since thinking he was the poisoner was largely based on timing and it really wouldn't have worked like we initially thought since poison takes time.

Well, I think most people consider "clearing" to be more certain - like have an actual investigator result showing them as town, rather than just "I think they're town". I know, there's almost never certainty in this until death, but I think most here don't consider anyone "cleared" yet. Yeah, there's people I'm starting to trust, but that doesn't mean I couldn't be wrong. I have been before, once or twice in my life. Well, then there was a time I thought I was wrong, but I was wrong about that :)

I agree that an investigator's results would definitely be better but she's dead so the best we have is a 'vanilla' result which combined with our gut feeling can be quite indicative.

To further my answer to Kenneth, What harm is there in trying to narrow down who is town, the scum already know who we are so what's the harm in discussing it?
