Mafia After Dark - Day 5: Scarface

[Tamamono]

Players only, please!

August 27th, 2005

New Brickland, Florida

10:11 A.M.

Life goes on, and morning comes to New Brickland once again. However, today, rather than go about their daily business, the remaining family members all gather around the plaza where Dexter was killed, hoping to get some indication as to his affiliation.

Of course, once again, the cops and paramedics are here to clean up the mess Tam made, but everyone's more or less used to that by now.

Except for the female police officer on her knees.

"Ewh! Screw dead bodies!"

Behind the Malones, a figure in green spandex runs away, giggling maniacally. What the megabluck, right?

"Ahh! I'm allergic to green!" Colin screams as he drops into the fetal position. I guess that could be why they call him Colon. He can't smell very good if he doesn't eat his greens.

As the crowd slowly starts to disperse, Tam looks off into space. He wears the look of despair only a man with a family as wacky as his can wear.

And it's only getting worse by the day.

Oh God I hope we got something right. What's with the guy in green. Was Colin blocked from talking?

[CorneliusMurdock]

I haven't received anything saying that I was slineced. Odd. But if we're right about silencing coming with blocking, they wouldn't block me if they mean to kill me. And to that I say, "Meh".

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

What's with the green guy then?

[CorneliusMurdock]

I'm guessing he'll ask us a riddle later. Maybe the hippy had a cousin or something. Certainly doesn't run very fast.

[Kristel]

It feels like it's going to be a long day, waiting to find out if we got it right. My gut tells me we did.

I have a lot of lectures to attend today, so I expect I won't be able to add much to the conversation during the day.

I don't recall seeing the green guy before.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

I think Colin is right, it's the Riddler.

[Cecilie]

I would be really good if we got two right, that should give us some breathing room.

[mostlytechnic]

Good hacking, Colin. I would've gone for either him or Candy if I was in your position...or stayed home. I am pretty convinced that the Cap'n was scum. Let's hope we've caught two slimy slimesters tonight.

Well, I was holding out to see if anyone would try to jump out of the vote on Dexter to save him from getting lynched, since he only has one vote that's keeping him in the lynch-light right now, but no one has jumped out. I suppose for this idea to have been effective, we would have to wait for just before the night ends, but unfortunately I'm feeling the need to nap now. I'm not entirely convinced that he's the best lynch for tonight, but I do find him probably the second or third most suspicious here, so to ensure that he doesn't slip out of the vote at the final moments of the day, I will vote: Dexter Fairbanks (def)

Oops!

Unvote: Priscilla Jenkins (mostlytechnic)

Vote: Dexter Fairbanks (def)

I agree on taking out the Cap. Good choice Colon.

More important though is the rest of this post... as much as I appreciate having the vote off of me, let me translate that voting logic for everyone. "Since it's obvious my scum-buddy Dex is going down, I'll switch over to that bandwagon at the last minute so I can say I voted for him when he comes up scummy tomorrow. I tried to get a vote going on a non-scummo but failed, so now I'll try to hide my scumminess with by voting off a fellow scum."

Sorry there Pen, but it's been done too many times and you weren't at ALL subtle about it. Ping!

[Peanuts]

You said you believed Terrence over Cebastiane as if Cebastiane had told a story you didn't believe. So what is that Cebastiane has told you that you don't believe?

I believe Terrence' story more than I believe that Cebastian is town.

[Captain Nemo]

Of course! The Riddler! It was always him!

Well maybe not, but right now that's just a strange occurance. I do have to ask now though (Which was only somewhat talked about at the very end of last night); why Colin did kill when he said he would not? Wasn't the whole point of you staying at home to confirm to the town/public that you were the vig--by not killing that night? Bernard seems to know a good amount about the investigator (At least that he's un-kill-able); does he know if Colin has been investigated?

I agree with Priscilla on this point. Why would you change your vote so late in the day, when your new target was already going to be lynched? It comes off looking like a reluctant scum voting for her teammate at the last minute. Peter also changed his vote last minute (Though his vote changes somewhat makes sense since Rolfe was killed--his new target however does not make sense), to be placed on Cebastian. His reason for the vote towards Cebastian however is ridiculous--he even says that he'd rather believe Terrence even if he's lying than believe Cebastian is town. Peter, what is your basis for the decision? Why do you think that Terrence is town and that Cebastian is not town? So far, I've only see you answer part one of that question, and I can see that your entire case against Cebastian seems to hindge on if part one (Terrence's List) is even true. Are there other reasons to not trust Cebastian? Because to me right now it just looks like a scummy Pete shifting attention to anyone else left on the Terrence list.

[Cecilie]

I believe Terrence' story more than I believe that Cebastian is town.

And that's all you have to say about it? Wow, you're doing a great job convincing everyone that I am more likely to be the scum on that list than you

You also seem to be forgetting the third option, which is that the hippie did a better job at gathering that list before providing an answer to Terrance than Terrance did, and that Dexter is the scum that should have been on Terrance's list. The way I've understood Terrance is that he didn't give the list specifically to the hippie, so this is quite possible. But maybe that theory is hard for you to see, since you know it's false because you are the scum on the list

Well, let's have Terrance settle this. Terrance, when the hippie replied to your question, did he provide the list of people and said one of them is a scum, or did he simply say 1 scum and no list was ever stated between you and him? If no list was ever stated, then that makes a difference. And all of it has to wait for too much analysis until we know for certain what Dex's allegiance was... Cebastian there seems to be assuming that we voted right, but that's still an assumption and not certain

I'm not assuming anything, it's just a theory that might gain more validity when we find out Dexter's allegiance. But I have to believe we made the right choice, I voted for him after all!

[CorneliusMurdock]

Bernard seems to know a good amount about the investigator (At least that he's un-kill-able); does he know if Colin has been investigated?

I said I could stay home and asked for opinions about that. The opinions I received from the more reliable people here said to try and kill the scum. If anyone doubted that I was the zombie, they didn't mention it.

I can see why you might be upset, Candy. I'm sure Rolfie was a good scum buddy. My deepest condolences. Is there somewhere we should all send flowers?

You're trying to spread doubt about me. Why?

Unfortunately, neither of us gave a list, so whether Dexter was included I wouldn't know.

I'm starting to think... While I believe Colin about being the Zombie, I have an inkling of a suspicion that he's an SK floating by by claiming vigilante, and that our real vig was somebody killed early.. However, Colin does seem to be helping us either way...

Doubting because I'm concerned your either not the vig and saying you are, or more likely that you went against your word to kill even though the point of not killing was to show to everyone (Not just one reliable person) that your the vig/town. Now, because you killed, I still cannot confim that you are the vig as you say you are.

I'm starting to think... While I believe Colin about being the Zombie, I have an inkling of a suspicion that he's an SK floating by by claiming vigilante, and that our real vig was somebody killed early.. However, Colin does seem to be helping us either way...

That's crossed my mind as well. He has killed two town before; maybe Rolfe will be his third. And he doesn't seem to have a problem killing at random--he wasn't in contact with the communications team until recently, that didn't stop him from killing before.

My opinion exactly. Whether Colin is the SK or not, he killed Rolfe, who was a suspect. Also, with no confirmed scum dead yet, I wouldn't want to hunt for the SK.

Peter also changed his vote last minute (Though his vote changes somewhat makes sense since Rolfe was killed--his new target however does not make sense), to be placed on Cebastian. His reason for the vote towards Cebastian however is ridiculous--he even says that he'd rather believe Terrence even if he's lying than believe Cebastian is town.

Er, what? I never said I believe Terrence even if he's lying. Quote me on that, please. I also never said I fully believe Terrence.

From my point of view, either Terrence is lying (and scum), or Cebastian is scum. If I have to decide which of the two possibilities I deem more likely, I pick the second one. I'm suspicious of Terrence as well, but I give him the benefit of the doubt because we know he has got the question and scum usually fly by rather than make up a list like that.

Er what? Do you believe that Terrence is telling the truth or that Terrence is not telling the truth? From your vote change quote yesterday (Below), it seems to me that you are at times trusting of Terrence, even though you admit that he could be lying (Though then you say, "well it would be rather convoluted lie, so I believe him over Cebastian"), and still vote for Cebastian. You keep flip flopping in your statments about the Terrence List and how that makes you distrust Cebastian.

Looks like I have to vote for someone else today. I don't think Dex is scum, and I hardly have an idea about Priscilla. I think either Cebastian or Terrence is scum. I'll give Terrence the benefit of the doubt, because he at least came up with the story about the question. We know there was a question to be had, and it's fair to assume Terrence actually took it, but teh question is if he is speaking the truth about what he asked. Still, it would be a rather convoluted lie, so I'll believe him over Cebastian.

Really the problem I'm having now is that you cannot seem to make a statement on whether you trust or do not trust Terrence (And his list); for two reasons:

One: If you do say you trust Terrence's list, you admit that either Cebastian or yourself is a scum (And thus, being an actual scum this would be outing yourself).

Two: If you say you do not trust Terrence's list, you can claim Terrence as scum, but then you admit that you do not have proof that Cebastian is scum.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

I believe Terrence' story more than I believe that Cebastian is town.

Congratulations on having the weakest Mafia reasoning ever: because. Why do you believe Cebastiane to be Scum. Can you provide a little insight so the rest of us can make an informed decision?

Unfortunately, neither of us gave a list, so whether Dexter was included I wouldn't know.

If it's possible that there's a Serial Killer out there, then why is Colin necessarily the Serial Killer and not the Scum Killer while the Day killer would be the Serial Killer? Is there something the two of you already know for sure?

Rolfe was the next in line to be lynched according to yesterday's compilation of everyone's top three suspicions. If you were part of the conversation all day, you would see that the choice to kill was left up to Colin and with so many Scummy suspects to choose from, it was a safe bet to try and take one out.

If Colin, for some reason, is a Serial Killer and God has chosen to not give us a vigilante, then so be it. But let me ask both of you: Why would you think that God would give us two killers, yet none of them be Town-aligned in a game where we're already hindered by not being able to communicate by PM?

Er, what? I never said I believe Terrence even if he's lying. Quote me on that, please. I also never said I fully believe Terrence.

Why would it have to be one or the other? Why can't both be Scum or both be Town??

[CorneliusMurdock]

Maybe the scum aren't going to kill me today. Maybe they're just going to try to discredit me. It's so nice of Candy to suddenly start participating even though what she says is extra scummy. I never ever promised not to kill yesterday. I offered it up as a suggestion but was not taken up on it. Go back over the day, Candy, and inform us all where I solemnly swore not to kill anyone.

I explained my kills. They weren't random. Do you have a problem with any of the kills I've made? I was obviously wrong about Shane and Adelaide. But I believed them both to be scum. Granted Shane was more of a stretch than Adelaide. It's possible that I'll just never trust someone like Shane ever again and my judgment was clouded by that. Do you really think a serial killer would go after Shane so early in the game with his history? No, they'd go after someone that would be more likely to be unwatched and unprotected. As soon as a serial killer is found out, they're pretty much dead and it's in their best interest to remain in the shadows.

I've been leaning town on Terrence. But really, buddy, why would a Serial Killer be trying to help the town all game? Goodness of his heart? And here's this: there was no zombie kill Night 1. SK's are compelled to kill every chance they can get. Either you're in on the smear campaign or you're easily swayed by a crappy argument.

The scum will be trying to focus attention anywhere they can but themselves. Claiming there's a neutral and trying to make them sound really dangerous is a distraction. Even if we were right about both Dexter and Rolfie, this is still really close. I invite everyone to work the numbers for themselves.

This, I'll give you credit for a good argument. I can't see a way now to justify the idea that you're the SK and the vig was killed early like someone else suggested.

Unfortunately, neither of us gave a list, so whether Dexter was included I wouldn't know.

Oh yeah, it was YOU terrance that made that suggestion.

More importantly, we now don't know what to think from your list with 1 scum. Since the list was never stated between you and the hippie, how do we know you both were thinking of the same names? It was posted earlier that the summary that was made had dex listed in one place and not listed in another. So... if we assume here that the hippie was paying attention and got the list of names who suspected you right, then we need to include Dex on that list. So... if we were right in lynching him, then we've got confirmation that the others on the list are town. But that's only if we assume the hippie used the right list! Argh! If someone earns another question, we almost need the new question to be clarification on the first question!

[CorneliusMurdock]

I see Candy came and went without adding anything. Giving up already, scum? I'd love to hear another scary tale about serial killers.

As I pointed out before, whether Terrence is telling the truth or not, it still gives us some information. The concentration of scum in people not on the list should be about the same regardless. If someone does get to ask another question, I hope they come up with something that's a little more clearly worded that might look at this from a different angle instead of rehashing the previous question.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

Terrence, please post the exact wording of the question you asked.

[Chillax Darth Frodo]

Er, what? I never said I believe Terrence even if he's lying. Quote me on that, please. I also never said I fully believe Terrence.

Oh, you're saying because of the Dirty Hippie's answer, I see. Well...Kristina and I are on that list too. Why is Cebastiane the only other option for you??
