[NativeForeigner]

As were you, Kamina. It was great fun.

[Toaster]

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!

(The numbers by townies reference which role PM they got.)

You are Jack Wilson, a Townsperson.
You’ve worked as a auto mechanic in Tewby Vale for several long years.  After your wife left you for one of your coworkers, you began a deep, bitter slide into depression and drinking.  Your erratic behavior is likely what earned you the suspicion of the police force.  Bitter as you are, you don’t intend to go down without a fight- these mafia scumbags are the perfect targets to vent your aggression.

You are Tom Winston, a Townsperson.

As if life couldn’t get any worse, now the cops think you could be a criminal?  Sure, you haven’t had a job in years, but you’re a hobo, not a murderer.  You drifted into Tewby Vale after wandering the nearby cities for several years.  You’re more interested in a warm meal and a dry place to sleep than who is terrorizing who, but you know the Mafia will kill you to ensure their own escape.  It’s up to you to help track down the real Mafia and get them to hang.

You are Samuel Olbet, a Townsperson.

Taxi Sam’s your name, and driving people around is your game!  Too bad being locked up here in the hotel means your taxi is currently parked at your house.  Hopefully your girlfriend isn’t giving her friends joyrides... again.  Anyway, you’d sure like to see her again, so you must root out whom among you nine are plotting your demise!

You are George Land, a Townsperson.

They say a lawyer should never defend themselves in court.  You ignored that advice, and wound up here.  No matter, now- you must use your brain to figure out who is in the Mafia, so you can get out of this blasted hotel and see your sons again.  You shudder at the thought of them having to grow up without a father, after losing their mother to cancer just a few months prior...

You are Wilt Hankin, a Townsperson.

Red- the color of blood.  Much red has run through these streets lately, and your paintings have taken a darker mood as the town grows increasingly hostile and less trusting.  You try to catch the world in your art, and all you can capture is misery.  Your brother seemed to be oblivious to the misery- he was out enjoying himself every day... until he was one of those killed as a Mafioso.  You’re sure that’s why you’re here under suspicion, but there’s no connection- you had no idea he was up to no good.  Now you must prove to all that you had nothing to do with this atrocity, and help wash the stain from your family name.

You are Norman Herbert, a Townsperson.

Your store has repeatedly been victimized by the Mafia.  It started as vandalism and burglary, but soon you were forced into a protection racket.  You were truly excited to hear of the Mafia shootout.  Your glee turned to shock when they came up to you and said you were suspected of being in the Mafia!  Apparently some protection money was traced back to you.  You loudly protested your innocence, but it fell on deaf ears.  Now you’re stuck here with the remainder of the Mafia... and you will get vengeance!  Root them out and see them hang!

All townies:
You are a Townie.  You have no special powers, but your vote and your powers are deduction are all that stands between the Mafia and total domination!  Keep your cool, find the scum, and win the game for the Town!

You win when all members of the mafia are eliminated.


You are Leo Baker, a Doctor.
Ever since you were a little kid, you’ve wanted to be a doctor.  Medical school was a breeze for you, and you had just moved into town where you were planning on starting a practice.  You’re not sure how you got lumped into the suspicious people, but now you’re here in the hotel.  You were allowed a few medical supplies, however- you have the tools to save lives.  You figure you have time to check on one person each day to make sure no attempt was made on their life that night.  You should be able to save them, if so.  Be careful, though- if the Mafia finds out you’re here, you’re sure to be a high priority target, and you can’t stop yourself from bleeding to death...

You are the Doctor.  Each night, you may PM me the name of one player.  If that player is targeted by the the mafia to be killed that night, they will not die!  You may not target yourself.

You win when all members of the mafia are eliminated.





Mafia:
You are Greg Bills, a Mafioso.

You’ve led a life of crime since you were twelve.  Back then, it was just ripping off school lockers, a little dope for the right price, and smashing windows of people who pissed you off.  As you got older, the crimes got bigger- robbing houses, stealing cars, six-digit drug deals.  You knew your contacts with the underground had paid off when you got recruited into the Mafia moving into town.  But now the Mafia is reduced to two, and both of you are stuck in this hotel!  Thankfully, you managed to smuggle in a silenced pistol.  You figure you can take out one person a night until there’s not enough of them left to stop you from overpowering them.  Once that’s done, the two of you can escape and move on to the next town.

You are a Mafioso.  Each night you and your partner may target one player.  That player will then be eliminated from the game.

You win when the mafia equal or outnumber the remaining town players in the game.


You are John Masters, a Mafia Roleblocker.

Damn, you’ve been cornered! You and the last remaining member of the Tewby Vale Mafia are stuck here in this hotel with seven townspeople, and each day someone will die!  You won’t stand for that, and seek to even the odds.  Fortunately, you have a few tricks up your sleeve.  You were recruited for your computer skills and knowledge of security systems, and the electronic locks on these hotel doors are no exception- you know how to override them.  You can seal one person in his room each night and prevent him from interfering with your plan to overpower everyone and escape into the night.

You are the Roleblocker.  Each night, you may target one player.  If that player has a night action, they will not perform it that night.  You will not be told if you successfully prevented an action.  Additionally, each night you and your partner may target one player.  That player will then be eliminated from the game.

You win when the mafia equal or outnumber the remaining town players in the game.

Night 1:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Doc (Blocked)

As you walk back to your room that night, you stop to throw away a coffee cup in an unattended housekeeping cart.  Hey, what’s that... a master key card!  That’ll get you in any of the hotel room doors.  Perfect for checking up on people.

You get ready for bed, then set your alarm for early in the morning so you’ll have time to check on Mindmaker.  You estimate that he’s most likely to be attacked in the night, and you know you only have time to check on one person.  You turn out your light and go to sleep.

You alarm goes off on schedule.  You dress quickly and head for the door... what the hell?  Your door won’t open!  You can’t get out!  You try futilely for a couple minutes, then give up and take a shower.  By the time you finish that, you hear the call to gather in the lobby.  You try your door again and this time it opens.  You head for the gathering, knowing you failed to protect anyone last night.

You were blocked- your action failed.



Kill Kamina

After everyone returns to their rooms, you watch a little TV to make sure everyone else is asleep.  You grab the silenced pistol and a hacked hotel keycard that Ragnarok gave you that will let you any room.  You slip out and sneak down the hallway to Kamina’s room.

You get there and slip open the door without making any sound, but the light is on- he’s awake!  You peek in, and see his back is to the door.  He is sitting at the table, painting on a small easel.  You quietly shut the door and aim at him.  You fire twice, and he slumps down over the painting.  No problem.  You sneak back to your room safely and get into bed.

If every night is this easy, you’ll be in control of the situation in no time!


Block Azure

With a subtle wink at Spade, you head off to your room.  From studying the security systems, you know there is a routine every morning that resets the room doors.  If you jam a room’s door in the night, it’ll open back up soon before the roll-call in the lobby.  You have a hacked card that will jam the door’s lock so that whoever is inside will be trapped until then.  You spend a few minutes checking the code, then you head off to Azure’s room.

You arrive at his door, and within a minute his door is jammed shut.  He won’t be going anywhere in the night!  You sneak back to your room, and sleep until morning.


Kamina - Die

You arrive back at your room in a fit.  More innocent blood is spilled!  Unable to sleep, you set up your table easel and begin pouring out your frustrations on the canvas.  You quickly become so engrossed in your work that you don’t hear the door opening behind you, nor the pistol’s safety being released...

Two hammer blows to your back, and you collapse across the table.  You spit out blood, and everything fades...

Night 2:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mindmaker- Die

You head straight to your room, angered that the Mafia scumbags have gotten away for another day.  You mentally prepare yourself for a solid discussion next day- if you don’t find them soon, they could get away with everything!

In the night, a sound makes you snap awake- there’s somebody in here!  You quickly roll off the bed, but only succeed in tangling yourself in the sheet as you fall to the floor.  You kick out toward the sound, and are rewarded with a cry of pain.  You attempt to free yourself, but a heavy blow to the chest stuns you, and you hear ribs snap.  As you struggle for breath, you feel cold steel against your temple.  A gruff voice says “Nice try, fool.”  There is a flash, and everything goes dark.

You are dead.

You may chat about it here: http://www.quicktopic.com/45/H/gqhABfCEV4Eyg

Native- Block Azure

As you head to your room, you notice Azure looking at his door carefully.  You barely suppress a laugh as you head into your room.

You return to Azure’s room a bit after lights-out and spend a few seconds working on his door.  Even easier now that you’ve had some practice!  He’s stuck in there, and won’t be doing anything again this night.

If the two of you can last until tomorrow night, you should be golden!

Kamina- Kill Mindmaker

Again, you turn on the TV for a bit to make sure everyone is good and asleep.  When enough time has passed, you grab the pistol from its hiding place and sneak off to Mindmaker’s room.  You open the door with the same hacked card, and silently shut the door behind you.

In the gloom, you can see Mindmaker sleeping in his bed.  Unfortunately, you don’t notice the chair that is pulled out, and bump into it.  The form stirs- he heard you!  You quickly aim at him, but he quickly rolls out of bed onto the floor.  You try to reposition your aim, but he kicks you right in the ankle!  You swear and stumble backwards.  You bump into the TV stand, and quickly grab it and throw it at the struggle bundle of sheets.  There is a loud grunt and a crack- sounds like a broken rib.  Mindmaker stops struggling and starts wheezing.  Calmly you go to him and place your pistol against his temple.  “Nice try, fool,” you say, and put a single shot into his head.

You quickly return to your room, and get some sleep.  One more night without any problems, and you should be home free.

Azure - Blocked

You head straight for your room, and inspect your door thoroughly.  As far as you can tell, it’s in complete working order.  You can go in the door with your keycard, and you can open the door from the inside.  You shrug, and again set your alarm early.  You fear for KaminaSquirtle, and want to be sure to protect him tonight!

As planned, your alarm goes off an hour before dawn.  You grab your bag and head straight for the door- damn it! It’s stuck again.  You swear and kick the door, but it does not budge.  You head back to bed, but you are too angry to sleep.  When the call comes to gather in the lobby, you try again, and it opens easily.  You mutter under your breath and join the others.

[Toaster]

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.

[KaminaSquirtle]

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.

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?

[Toaster]

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. 

[Vector]

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

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

[Toaster]

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.

[Vector]

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

[Toaster]

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.

[Vector]

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.
