(Sorry, it's been a while... I haven't had time with holiday happenings. But you guys took the whole "Silent Night" principle a little too far. Other than the Mafia vote, almost nothing happened! Let's be a little more restless during the next night, shall we?) "It seems the Mafia have a definite vendetta against Pikachu," the Host observed. "Or, rather, had." The townspeople were gathered around the body of Pikachu. No medical intervention had preserved his life this night, leaving him open to an especially macabre fate. The top of his head had been sawed off, and someone had shoved one his hands into his open skull. The word "COOKIES" had been cut into his forehead. Fortunately, whoever was responsible for the deed had had the class not to put actual cookies in his skull. "Well, there's no denying it this time... "PIKACHU IS DEAD!"* * * THE SECOND DAY HAS BEGUN!G'wan and vote! The Mayor and Brewer can also use their powers at this time.

Hm... They sure do have a vendetta against Pikachu. There's not much of a perceivable reason why either... Pika's a nice guy, and hasn't done much of anything to deserve such a punishment. Again, there isn't much information this early... So, since we don't have much to go on, let's think for a moment who might have a rivalry with him... He's one of our friends from the UK, so perhaps there's a Mafia member from the UK who wants him whacked. Cinders! She's been known to have evil tendencies... While I can't say for sure that she's behind this, it wouldn't surprise me.
VOTE: Cinders

Oh come on, you've got to be kidding me. Why on Earth would I make a human cookie jar? 'Specially if I was going to put it in plain view; what's the point? It'd mean I'd have to share. >>
Oh, and he's Scottish, and I love the Scottish. They're awesomely winsome. I has nothing against Pikachu. ^^
As far as a plausible killer could go, I'd say someone who didn't know Pikachu very well would be the obvious choice. Since yes, he's a nice guy, hardly anyone would have anything against him nor reason to... Perhaps someone who would rather make decisions on names alone. For these reasons, be they garbled or no, I vote for our newbie, Hok.
VOTE: Hok

You do have a point Cinders. I had completely forgotten that Hok was playing. She has been very quiet and unassuming just like, dare I say it?... an ASSASSIN! I mean I've seen her logged in but she never posts here, strange is it not?
VOTE: Hok

Why would i make his head into a cookie jar? i dont even like cookies. and i know i have been quiet and most of you dont know me but that makes it even less likely to be me. I dont have anything against Pikachu unlike some of you here. I think the most likely person for killing him is Pope. He loves cookies and was looking for a place to put them and decided to use Pikachu's head as his cookie jar. That is why i vote for Pope. VOTE: Pope

Babs, I find it disturbing how quickly and easily your thoughts darted to Cinders whom as far as I can tell hasn't done anything wrong. Perhaps you're trying to cover your own feelings of guilt? It really seemed like you were grasping at straws in order to kill Cinders. Honestly, "They're both from the UK so one of them HAD to kill the other one." Did you just finish wiping Pikachu's blood off your hands before you came in here trying to get Cinders executed?
And Cinders, just because someone has been quiet doesn't make them guilty. Nor does being new make them guilty. I think you should be ashamed of yourself.
In any case, I find Babs' reasoning to be disturbing and am therefore voting for him.
Vote: Babs

Ah, but your message basically screams "I don't like you, so you should die." In no way do I think my logic is foolproof. In fact, there isn't much logic to my vote for her. Without much information, how are we supposed to make judgments and form ideas? Sit back and be accused ourselves? It's far more productive to put a guess out there and see how everyone responds. Being a smart person yourself, you should see this instead of giving such a baseless return accusation. I have no clue which side you're on, and unless you do know the alliances, I see absolutely no reason to accuse me, someone working to figure things out.
Furthermore, if I were Mafia, why would I be spending my vote on a person nobody else accused yet? There were originally 3 Mafia and 6 Innocents... There wouldn't be the room to waste such an important vote to try hiding my alliance if I were Mafia.

Honestly I don't think you commited this heinous act Hok. I was simply trying to get you to speak more and I thought trying to execute you would be a good way of doing it.
UNVOTE: Hok

You could go off something a touch more solid than location. If anything, it was a reason to stick together. I understand you're trying to figure things out, or are at least claiming to, but you could go off something concrete like violent tendencies. Take Kaz for example, he arrived by bursting out of Ocelot's chest. That's pretty violent, in my opinion, and I would see that as a definite reason for concern.
My message wasn't "I don't like you," it was "Your thought process disturbs me." Had you chosen a more solid argument, I wouldn't have voted for you. However, you chose to attack someone based on their country of origin. That's not fair at all. You voted for RLRL because everyone else voted for them and now you're voting for Cinders because she's from the same country as last night's victim?
And what's more, you said you were "throwing a guess out there to see how everyone responds." That'd be understandable if it were something that wasn't life or death, but you pointed the finger at Cinders to see what everyone else thought? You were willing to put her head through the noose to see what everyone else thought? That's sick!
I'm sorry if you are innocent, Babs, but your actions scream at me. My vote remains the same.
Edit: And Vaxx, that's horrible too but at least you had the courtesy to unvote Hok. Hok might be silent, but I see no justification for that to be a reason to execute them for it.

Would you rather I have accused you? Seriously? That's asinine to say and you know it. The best thing to do when confused is throw a random guess out and work to improve on it when you get better information. Your little act to try making me look heartless is quite easy to see through, so you may as well stop while you've still got some credibility.

Accuse me if you want, I don't give a damn. You've already lost credibility to me. I don't try to just take random stabs at people; I look for people who give me a reason to be suspicious as you have so blatantly done so. I'm not trying to make you look heartless--you're doing a good enough job of that on your own. Like I said, you have no real reason to vote for Cinders much as you had no real reason to vote for RLRL. The best thing to do isn't to stab randomly, it's to make guesses based on at least something remotely concrete. Have you ever played Minesweeper? You don't click at random and hope you don't die, you nibble away at the edges flagging the mines and clearing the rest. You can't win on random clicks because that's too dangerous. If I'm wrong and she is mafia, then I'm sorry. But you can't make baseless accusations because you think that it'll give you something to work off of, it just isn't ethical.
You can play me off if you want, but I won't back down. I'm trying to reduce the casualties on our side. Two innocent people have already been murdered and your hand is stained with the blood of at least one of them. Or were you making a guess and trying to improve it when you voted to kill our Mayor?

I see my name thrown around a lot. >>
I voted for Hok not because she's new, but because she has no opinions on anyone. I know, I know, this is because she's new, I know. But having no opinions is a crucial point. Since Pikachu has a rather prominent name, which you have to admit is true, she could have chosen him at random.
Oh, and the whole "I don't like cookies" thing? Surely if one wanted to keep the cookie jar, the head wouldn't still be there. It'd be full of cookies, perched on someone's kitchen shelf with brightly coloured flowers painted on it (they always have flowers >>). So, not liking cookies is no reason to not have been the one to do it.

You know Hok might have stumbled onto something here. Babs, if you were just shooting in the dark then why not suggest the Pope? Even if she is not mafia she can still be a dangerous adversary. I have seen her ability to trick and corrupt the minds of those around her so that almost everryone will eventually be serving her ,whether they know it or not. I also know that in games such as this she will actually seek out and ally herself with the opposing team, only to destroy them from within at the very end of the game. I might be wrong in my assumptions and if so I am very sorry my old friend, however you are more than welcome to come and deny my claims, however untill then why don't we rise up against someone who can be more dangerous to her friends than her foes.
VOTE: The Pope

"STOP EVERYTHING!!"Ocelot said as he stormed into to the town hall. He was covered in dirt and was holding a bag in the air."In this bag is the answers to all our conflicts." Ocelot walked forward to the main table at the halls center. "Now may everyone please take a seat, because I brought Dunkin Donuts Munchkins."Ocelot then opened his bag to reveal seven boxes full of donuts and the full assortment of delicous pastries. "We have forgotten my fellow townsfolk that we are all on the same side here. We all want this killing to stop, right? Well then we should start working together. Now I've noticed that three of our citizens have not even bothered to show there faces in this meeting. Lee, Aurora, and Lamby. Now I'm not saying they are Mafia but this might be a new tactic they are using to destroy from the inside I they hide in the shadows we woulld never suspect them. I ask you brothers and sisters to take my words into consideration and try to make sense of this." Ocelot took a boston cream filled donut and took a big bite out of it and sai with his mouth half full. "I fill casft the ffirst fstaon and fote FLee."
Vote:Lee

I think it would be good to go back to the roleplay style of playing. Funny accusations and stuff are way more fun. I think it's gotten a little too serious, people forget that it is infact a game. Serious accusations are for the endgame only. The bulk of the game should not be spent in accusations like "Well, I think Kazkame is a Mafia member because he voted this way this day and that way that day", but in accusations like "Well, I think Kazkame is a Mafia member because we all know he's good with dynamite. Heck, he used to work for Looney Tunes." i liked that i rember last game where i was accused for being outside eating a pie.... Yeah, I'll take some of the blame for making this all too serious, but it felt too much like you had to justify your votes instead of spending the post writing a story... Plus, I ran out of cool ways to say "Spiff's Mafia dammit" and the like. "I cannot let this go on any longer! Notice the way that Spiffy's hair is at a slightly different angle this morning? A blatant sign of mafia involvment." Pikachu said pointing all accusing-like at Spiffy. Vote: Spiffy You see, muuuuch better! yes... well that certainly was random I'll give ya that. I think that would be a better way of playing, just go with the flow! lol As much respect as I have for both Baboon and Kuroboom, it seems my hint earlier in this topic wasn't obvious enough. Guys, you're already taking this much too seriously. You should be thinking these complex thoughts about what other players are up to, but the way you two are carrying on is putting a severe damper on the fun. Save the personal attacks and pouting for after the intermission! Act I is supposed to be the entertaining part.

kaz had been sitting in the back of the room on his laptop waiting for his podcast to load. " damm it to hell" he said loudly. He then placed the computer on the chair and went towards the town meeting. He reached into the shallow pockets of his pants and brought out a case. In it were his glasses, he placed them on the rim of his nose and began to speak.
"I've been to the mountain top and i've seen a young man get tazed on you tube a thousand times. Never gets old. I believe that someone among us is a bully and only wants to push people into their whims. This person accuses other to see their reactions. This smells of a mafia tactic. This person know what they are. A mafia member." Taking the last piece of Ocelot's boston cream out of his hand. " I beweve It vas Vexx"

I wasn't being serious, actually. I thought it was all part of the game seeing as how this is my first time playing.
They're right though, Babs, I was wrong to jump to conclusions. Unvote: Babs
I dunno who I'll vote for though, so I'll take a few hours and read other responses.

"Oh surely you jest in your accusation Kaz," Vaxx said as he rose from his chair. "How can you honestly believe I belong to those mosters? You know me better than most of the people here, so you must know that although I do enjoy manipulating people it is only for fun, not gain. I would never hurt anyone let alone kill them. If my fun gets out of hand I'll stop it and let my fun end. You all must believe me that I am not here to hurt you, I only wish to live and have this nightmare be over with. There are only a few of them ,but many of us, so why should we waste our precious votes on one of our own?
Besides I was home all night playing video games. Go ahead and ask my imaginary friend, he can vouche for me.

The pope sat in his chair taking careful observation of all the statements made. Suddenly a thought popped in his head and he stood up quickly in an attempt to quiet everybody down.
"Now you have all made good arguments to who we should vote for, but I have just witnessed something very very suspicious that I think I should point out. Its obvious Kuro and Babs are both very intelligent people, and can think of almost every way to outsmart people, and will do almost anything to take down their adversaries. Now... lets say both of them were mafia and are working together, right? They would think of the most deceitful method to divert attention from each other. What better way to do that then go at each others throats making very harsh statements, then suddenly unvote each other because they are "angry". Seriously, have you ever known kuro or babs to back down from their opinion because someone yelled at them for it? Let alone both of them. This seems like a far to good of strategy and far to suspicious to let pass by. Ill let you all make your own assumptions over this, but I have to choose one of them as the one we kill."
Pope sat back down waiting for the response of the crowd.
Vote: Babs

So many people who might be guilty and so little time to make the right choice. I don't want to sound like an indecisive loser but if I run the risk of sending an innocent person to their grave, then I don't want to be singled out by their vengeful ghost. Seeing as how The Pope is the only person I fear beyond the grave I will accept her aversion to my statements as a not-guilty plea for now.
UNVOTE: Pope VOTE: Babs
P.S.- If you are innocent Babs, then I am truly sorry for this vote against you.
