The day after, the players log back into the forums. But they notice that something has gone awry. Some are using the wrong accounts. Others can't log on at all.
And none of them are able to leave the Mafia board.
The reason for this are clear as they check the Froggy One's latest blog entry:
"What, so somebody screwed up the servers, and it's possibly even one of us?",
Applebottle asks.
"Not even possibly. Definitely. If
Ninetoe really quarantined the board, then they couldn't have left.",
Animoodude answers. "And they are definitely not those who couldn't log on at all, as that would mean that they would be severely crippled in their ability to affect the forums."
"They?", Mike asks. "Do you think it was more than one person?"
"Well durrrr",
Derpy snarks back. "Don't you see? This is almost exactly like the setup of a game of mafia, with a cliché plot. How often has it happened that there was only one mafia?"
"So, are you saying we should lynch those who we think are the culprits?"
"You saying we shouldn't?"
"Well, how do you expect us to lynch them? You know we can't literally erase them, that's illegal."
"Well, we could use... THIS!",
Derpy retorts triumphantly as he pulls out a certain legendary bludgeoning weapon.
"Uh, Derp?"
Fikod Lee interrupts the dramatic revealing. "That's the Nerfbat. I don't think that you could actually hurt anybody with it."
"
Whoops."
"Not to interrupt your bantering, but we could use the Banhammer. It's right there, you know."
PolyC points at a corner
where the other legendary bludgeoning weapon indeed lays.
"Shouldn't we, you know, give that back to Froggy?"
"Not possible. We are cut off from the rest of the forums."
"So if we use it, we can ban the culprits and the admins can fix the forums?"
"Either that or we remove those who would stand in their way and we have doomed all of us. Worth a shot?"
"I... am not sure."
"Oh come on, you pansy!"
James Coolguy is clearly losing his cool. "We certainly won't achieve anything by doing nothing. Let's do this!"
