T-Rex's surviving because scum had already voted for him makes the most sense to me. If Exmond was scum, I think he would have hammered and not drawn attention to the situation. ##vote: sittinghere

Final Votecount for Day 2 Sitting Here (4): Sitting Here, yronic heroism, QuoProQuid, Exmond (1): yronic heroism, Tyrannosaurus (1): QuoProQuid, Sitting Here, Thranguy, QuoProQuid (0): Tyrannosaurus, Not Voting (1): SurreptitiousMuffin With 7 people still trapped in the library, it took 4 votes to execute someone. ~~~ Out of nowhere, the tension reached a peak. One of the attendees shoved a stale croissant in their mouth, before proclaiming (with an accompanying shower of crumbs) that they were going to try and escape today - no matter what! Bulling through the inevitable disagreements and arguments that came up, they managed to bully a few others into reluctant assistance. With their help, the aspiring escapee built a rickety tower of tables and chairs alongside one of the tall mist-shrouded windows. Scaling the unsteady pile, the escapee saluted the rest of the group before leaping towards the window with a wild cry! With a tinkling crash, the window shattered under the impact, and the escapee sailed out into the choking mists - immediately vanishing from view. The others crowded around the base of the broken window, broken glass crunching under their shoes. They could see nothing of what lay beyond the twinkling fog, though it seemed reluctant to flow into the library. After a few heart-pounding moments of silence, they heard the escapee's voice from beyond the window - first a shout of victory, and then cursing over some cuts and bruises. A sigh of relief swept through the onlookers - perhaps an escape WAS really possible. They could all get out of here safe and sound! That hope died the moment the agonized screams began. quote:Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on. - Louis L'Amour Night 2 begins now. You have ~20 hours to get me night actions (before 12 PM [noon] EDT tomorrow). The thread will reopen shortly thereafter.

You pass another restless night in the library, with your own fate weighing heavily upon your mind. You've already seen enough death to last you a lifetime - but will there be more horrors awaiting you tomorrow? The alternative, of course, is that you won't live to see the next day. Would that be preferable? ~~~ Raucous laughter woke the survivors from what could barely be called 'slumber.' Hastily assembling around the tableful of rock-hard pastries and scummy coffee, they quickly confirmed that someone was, once again, missing - surely the source of the laughter. But what could possibly be so funny, in a place like this? They found the missing person chained to a chair, with one last gasped chuckle escaping their now-lifeless lips. Piled around them were dusty jokebooks - clearly untouched for years on end. Someone had certainly gotten the last laugh, but it wasn't this poor soul. quote:There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature. - P. G. Wodehouse Day 3 starts now. Deadline is Tuesday 26-SEP at 7:30 PM EDT.

Barring some failure of imagination on my part, it is almost certainly Edmond or Muffin.. I lean toward the former and think my gut reaction to Exmond's opening was probably the right one. I will also do almost anything to get rid of the maths posts that I apparently helped usher into existence. Not dropping vote until I get home to avoid an accidental hammer

QuoProQuid posted:Barring some failure of imagination on my part, it is almost certainly Edmond or Muffin.. I lean toward the former and think my gut reaction to Exmond's opening was probably the right one. See Math is the way to go here though. I've proven we have won. I could see if we were playing a variant or didn't know the setup that going the "math" way would be terrible but in this case, it's working out. Why are you so against this method QPQ? Did it not work out in another of your games?

The only other scenarios are your investigation comes up scum or Muffin shows up and late-counterclaims cop, and they both play out in a straightforward manner.

I am fine with using revealed information to inform decision making. I start to have problems when people try to use revealed information to game the system, reducing a game about intrigue and suspicion into a low-stakes version of Moneyball. It is cool to use math as a supplement but it should not replace the game itself.

Also, it tends to be a Mafia tactic because it let's them post without indicating their suspicions.

QuoProQuid posted:Also, it tends to be a Mafia tactic because it let's them post without indicating their suspicions. I think you need to realize you are playing with new players. I'll be honest this game has been a bit stressful with various players saying "you don't play that way!!!" Either way we wait for yronic.

Sorry for the delay - I had this post all written up and ready to go at the end of my workday, but accidentally closed Chrome right before I posted it. Blech. The declaration of guilt rang with finality, echoing throughout the library. The remaining survivors' eyes met, before turning to the accused. They took a hasty step back, and then another as the rest of the group advanced on them. Begging and pleading, they appealed to the others' better and baser inclinations alike. Promises of peer reviews for life, publishing contracts through an uncle's friend, and more - all of it proved ineffective against the others' slow advance. Finally, they turned on their heel and fled into the shadowy stacks with the others in hot pursuit. When the executioners finally cornered their quarry some time later, he - she - it was no longer recognizable. Their face was twisted with hatred into an unrecognizable snarl, and their body had been warped and strained beyond any conceivable breaking point by the spectral wrath of its current inhabitant. He ranted at the assembled group with a torn and raspy voice - that they were ruining everything, that the work being created here was a perversion to the beautiful literary world he had put so much of himself into building and nurturing, and that all they had to do was stand aside and let him make things right. ...If there's one thing the aspiring authors had learned from their time in the Creative Convention, it was how to recognize overused villainous monologues. Their unflinching gazes left the twisted spirit cringing as his rant trailed off into nothing. Finally, he doubled over, cursing their names and spitting bile before tearing himself free of the scrap of flesh he had hidden away in this whole time. As the sad remains hit the ground with a wet splatter, the defeated spirit whirled itself away into nothingness with one final vow of vengeance. quote:It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. - Herman Melville Bright rays of sunlight illuminated the stacks as the choking mists cleared from the library, revealing the outside world beyond. All the doors unlocked at once with a jangling clatter, and the way out was clear at last. The dark influence permeating the Creative Convention had finally been purged! All threats to the Creative Convention have been defeated, and the game ends in a TOWN VICTORY! Mod Doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CXDsdbMjnYaOA-bhr3WWuOD1lGxZskiZqvi7n1doC7w/ Scum/Observer Chat (a good read!): https://discord.gg/WudKU4V ~~~ Well done to all the players, this was a really fun game to read! You did a great job and kept the participation rolling, which is the #1 most important thing to making a game of Mafia fun. Special shout out to Muffin for keeping up the effort even in the face of adversity - losing the roleblocker day 1 in a 2-scum game hurts a lot, so props for not throwing in the towel. I'd love to see you all play more Mafia, so here are a few useful links: Mafia Discussion Thread - Shitposting with some game announcements mixed in. Mafia New Game Announcement/Sandbox Thread - Most (but not quite all) new games get posted here, so bookmark this if you want to sign up! There are also a few games recruiting players RIGHT NOW: Attitude Era Mafia - Wrasslin' fun times all around Habeas Corpses III - Courtroom Mafia with some really unique variant rules Final Fantasy 6 - Part of an ongoing series, this game will be wacky and have lots of weird stuff going on Again, thank you all for playing, and thanks to sebmojo for letting me run this game! I hope to see you in other Mafia games in the future.

Well that was disappointing. Beaten on basically a random hunch, without getting to respond because the entire third day happened while I was asleep IRL.
