As were you, Kamina. It was great fun.

Yeah, you're a dick, NativeForeigner.
Quit being such a dick, you dick.
Maybe if you weren't such a dick you wouldn't be such a dick.

The third day seems to drag out for hours and hours.  It extends out until the final hours of the day, where some last minute changes of mind lead to the decision to leave things until the next day.  The group disperses to their rooms, unsure of what will happen in the night.

Azure is the last to his room, and stands with his hand holding the door slightly ajar for ten minutes.  His door has been inoperable for two nights in a row, and he knows he will not let this happen again.  He opens his door, and jams a wad of paper into the door frame.  The door now will not completely close.  Even if the lock is tampered with again, he can merely push it open so he can use his Doctor skills to attempt to save a life tonight.

Unfortunately, it did not occur to Azure that anyone could simply open the door from the outside as well.  He realizes this belatedly when he comes out of the bathroom to find Kamina pointing a pistol at him.  “Time to die, fool,” Kamina says with a grin.

“I should have known that you were a Mafioso, you bastard,” growls Azure.  Three shots later, he is on his back in a bloody pool.


Murphy wakes up in a cold sweat.  What is that smell?  Smoke?  He bolts out of bed and races for the door- but it won’t open!  He screams for help, but hears nothing but a laugh from outside as NativeForeigner finishes blocking the door shut.  Murphy bangs on the door as the room grows warmer.  With a great effort, he finally resorts to kicking the door down, but is rewarded with a great lungful of smoke.  He collapses downward, and passes out from the lack of oxygen.

Down the hall, Flintus is more successful in breaking out of his room before it is sealed off, but Kamina is there with his pistol.  Two quick shots to the legs, and Flintus is down.  “What... no...” he rasps.

Kamina only smiles at him.  “Enjoy the rousing campfire we’ve cooked up for you.”  He nods to NativeForeigner, and they head for the exit, where the guards have already dispersed in an attempt to fight the fire.

The two of them escape into the night as the hotel continues to burn.



Game over!  The Mafia, NativeForeigner and KaminaSquirtle, win!

I hope everyone enjoyed that!  It could have gone either way at the end.  Sorry about the replaces, but that happens sometimes.


I'd like to know if you all thought the moderation was well done, since this was my first attempt at hosting.  I'd also like to thank our ICs Vector and SirBayer for their help.  Also thanks to Mephansteras for (probably obviously) influencing my style, since he's very good at modding and writing flavor.

I liked it!
Had me scared to death at the end.
At the beginning of Day 3, I thought Azure had me.
I wriggled my way out it.
Funny, after all that, it was Flintus not being logged on at the right time that lost it for town.
Quote from: Azure
After all, if he and his scumbuddy were online at the time and he placed his final vote on a townie, they could both shorten and - assuming none of us were online at the time to prevent this - Toaster would have no choice but to bring on the night instantly rather than at the allotted time.
You found out our little plan!  Too bad it didn't matter!
If - heaven forbid - the scum does turn out to be the two lurkers, I'm gonna be pretty pissed off... -_-
Feeling pissed, Azure?

The shorten was irrelevant, since it was day end anyway.

I am impressed that scum managed to block the only town power role night 1- not that he protected the right person, but still impressive.

I figured if it might shorten it a few minutes, it was worth it.  Why not?

I don't think that was skill, though, to me it seemed more like luck.
But still, it helped us a bit, knowing Azure wasn't lying when he said he was RBed.
And so we had Doc from day 2, so we could keep blocking him.

I can't wait to see Azure's reaction to all of this.  ;D

Just a question... did he lose his protection ability as a result?

Yep, we made sure to block his role every night.

He still could protect, but he got blocked both nights.  I actually had to ask them their night action right as the day ended to see if Azure would go unblocked/killed- the only way the town could last until morning.  Azure was the NK target, so I went ahead and processed the game over.

No, I meant that it said he had "lost his bag."  I'm wondering if he lost his powers and actually became a VT--because if he did, that was a modding error.

Ninja: Ah, okay.  Fair enough.  Juuuust checking.


Also, KaminaSquirtle, I hope to face you in the next bastard anyone runs >:D

Huh, I don't even see that- which action is it?  But, no, it's all just flavor.  I (tried to) make sure to write without italics any non-obvious results of the night action.


I do have a question for you, Vector- is it traditional to notify the targets of a block that they were blocked if they don't have a night action?  I was asked that, and I went with yes, but I wasn't sure of the usual procedure of that.

I think that in general, we don't inform anyone that they were blocked, protected, or anything.  Blocking is more iffy than some of the other night actions, though.  I personally prefer no added information on redirects, etc., etc., though that's just me.


I thought I saw Azure claim that he lost his bag somewhere in the thread... that might have been a gambit.
