As seen in said threads, there was a game around here a few months ago which I thought was jolly good fun, and I thought why not bring it back (Granted if enough people want to play). You can check out the previous threads to see how it works, but I will give a little summary here too (Because I CAN damn it. I do not NEED Bunsy).
The premise of the game is that there is a village full of people. Let us call them the Happyfolk. They live out their peaceful plebeian lives in their little village, which we will call Eversmile. Unfortunately, The Village People have recently discovered that there are VAMPIRES in their midst (Yes VAMPIRES because VAMPIRES are COOLER than WEREWOLVES :cool:). During the day the Happyfolk (Including the vampires) vote to have someone lynched, but when night falls the vampires go on a hunt and kill one of the villagers. Because they are bad people. :( The vampires all know who their fellow vampires are, but the villagers can be sure of nothing outside their own role.
During the Day, people discuss things and vote for who they want to be lynched by putting their name in bold. The person with the most votes is executed, and can no longer influence the game. Their role remains secret to the public.
After the lynching, the Night begins. The vampires discuss amongst themselves who they want to kill, then one of them sends me a PM with that person's name in bold when they have decided. At the start of the following Day I will post who was killed. Also, the Seer sends me a PM with the name of a player in bold who they want to learn the true identity of. I will send them a PM back at the start of the next Day telling them what role that player is. The Guardian Angel also sends me a PM with the name of a player in bold who they want to protect (They can choose themselves if they so wish), and if the vampires have also chosen that same player to kill, they will be SAVED and will not die (It will be revealed at the start of the next Day that someone was saved, but not who). Finally, at the start of the next Day I will PM the Priest telling him the count of special roles still remaining.
Remember, anyone can claim whatever they wish, both in public and in private, so be careful who you trust!
The Dead Men Tell No Tales rule will be ENFORCED by my WRATH this time. :mad: No game influencing talk once you are DEAD (ESPECIALLY saying what role you were). Stuff like last words and the like is cool though.
No forwarding PMs from myself (The Overlord) to other players. 'Nuff said.
Role-playing is encouraged.
Unless enough people say otherwise, we are going to be going with a 48 hour schedule, 24 for each night and each day. The current time will end and the new one will begin at 0500 GMT.
I am thinking of removing the "Talking Overlord" rule where I tell everyone what role the Seer found out, as it inadvertently reveals when the Seer dies. Thoughts?
Also, any suggestions perhaps to make the game better?
Also also, two things. One, if you have signed up, please try and be active enough (It does not take THAT much time after all :p). Obviously other things come first, and it is cool if you miss a vote or such because something came up, but if you are gonna play, then play. >.>
And a *REMINDER* to make sure that your PM inboxes have enough room to receive PMs!
So yeah, just say if you want to play and I will sign you up, and when (If) we get enough people we can play. Like I said, suggestions are welcome, plus any questions or such you may have.

Alternatively, Eversmile is a really damn cloudy place.

(Because I CAN damn it. I do not NEED Bunsy).
Hehe. I was thinking only recently it's been ages since I last played one of these.
I wish to sign up! However, I have a question about the times of day: will they be long enough for a good discussion? Although it would result in a longer game, would a 48hr cycle work better? (24hours for each day and each night)? I think someone suggested this last time, and on reflection I probably should have considered it.
I'll try and play whichever, though.

Hmm, good point is good. I am inclined to think 48 is a bit long though (Especially given that during the night the humans do not have that much to do/say). Maybe somewhere in between like 36, which would give 18 hours for each? The problem with that of course is that you end up with different times for each day and night, which could get confusing and messy.
What does everyone else think? It would be nice to get a few extra opinions on this.

Shadowmoon

36 hours is an awful idea. Do multiples of 24 only. My vote is for 48.
I'm in, by the way.
Also to clarify: the vampires _kill_ someone right? Not turn them into a vampire?

GrimOswald
7 Dec 2008, 02:31

Yeah, they kill people. Maybe if the vampires win all the corpses finally rise as vampires or something. :p
And yeah, you are probably right. Let us try 48 and see how it goes.
EDIT:
Okay .
Only if you promise to actually PLAY this time and not be under a rock for the whole game. :p

Gosh, that sounds hopeful. :p
I will probably be beginning the game tomorrow (That is, roughly 24 hours from now). I still need to wait for someone who has only just registered and thus has to get their posts approved by moderators which is a pain. :( Also gives a bit more time in case anyone else wants to join. Tell everyone you know on here, bring the whole family! :p
Incidentally Bunsy, regarding the Priest role, did you send them specifically how many of each role is alive (2 wolves, GA) or just the total of specials? (3)

I just gave them the total number of specials not including themselves, that way they had a bit of guesswork to do.

Eversmile...a peaceful village home to the people known as Happyfolk. It sits near the foot of a beautiful mountain, and there are bountiful forests and sparkling pure rivers nearby. The Happyfolk live out their innocent and blissful lives here, content with that they have. They treat each other with respect and care, and are always looking out for one another. Everyone knows each other's names, and they are all great friends (Except Plasma). They may not have a lot, but it is all they need to have a jolly good time.
One day, one of the villagers was taking a stroll down by the stream. As they whistled to themselves, they thought they noticed a shape just under the surface. Intrigued, the villager bent down by the bank and reach their hand under. Whatever it was, it was heavy. They used both hands and tugged and tugged until it came free. "It" was the bloated corpse of one of their fellow villagers, its face still twisted in horror. Screaming, they dropped it on the bank and ran as fast as they could back towards the village.
Later, the entire populace gathered in the square. Everyone was arguing and bickering with each other, and it was so loud that you could not even hear yourself think.
"PEOPLE!" someone shouted. Everyone stopped and turned to see franpa, who had constructed himself a make-shift platform. "I have examined the body thoroughly, and I believe this to be the work of rabid dingos-"
MrBunsy pushed franpa off the platform - who landed face first on the dirt - and got onto it himself. "It's vampires."
There was a predictable collective gasp from the crowd. "I dunno, those bite marks on the neck looked pretty Australian to me..." mumbled franpa, still lying flat on the ground. Metal Alex kicked him.
"Vampires? But how? Why!" exclaimed Lushmoss, the panic clear in his voice.
"I don't know," said MrBunsy, "But there is no denying it. There are vampires in our midst."
Everyone fell silent and started shifting their eyes suspiciously at each other.
"Look, it's clear what we have do," said Alien King. "We-"
"-Will lynch someone every day until they're all dead!" interjected Shadowmoon. This suggestion was met with raucous approval from the crowd.
"What? No! We're not murderers! We're Happyfolk, remember?!"
"You know what they say," said Kelster23, "When in doubt, use a democratic process to have someone executed."
"Nobody says that!" said Paul.Power, but it was clear that nobody's mind could be changed.
In one day, everything had changed. Their peaceful lives had been interrupted, replaced by suspicion, fear and paranoia. The Happyfolk had become...random people from an internet forum.
The games had begun.
Day 1 has begun! Your roles have all been sent out. OK, they haven't because I have to wait 60 seconds between each one. >.< OK, NOW they have. ;) As in the last game, you can vote to have me lynched first if you want, as it would suck to be the very first person out, and you have nothing else to go by yet. :p
*Note: none of those names indicate anyone's roles or anything. I really just wanted to have franpa pushed into the dirt and kicked.

One particular moss-covered worm was a recent comer to the village of Eversmile, and he stank of n00b. He wove his large stick about like he was the Authority, when in truth his insecurities gleamed like a lighthouse on a clear night. His eyes dart back and forth, fearful that the wild mob would single him out as the newcomer. And perhaps... the bringer... of vampirism?!?!?!
Suddenly the paranoid worm could take it no longer, and with foam frothing at the mouth Mossworm shouts: "Lynch Grim! He's old anyway!" More waving of his staff, whilst with his other hand the worm reaches for a pitchfork...

We can discuss amongst ourselves via PM, like in Bunsy's era.. right?
Anyways, I'm a little confused here... The game starts during the day on December 7th, and night falls on December 8th, and the day comes the next and so on, right?
If that's the case, then I guess I might have to smack myself in the forehead.
BTW: Lynch Plasma franpa.

Yeah, one day is the Day, then the next day is the Night, then back to Day, et cetera. Though because of time zones this is different for different people, so just think of it as 24 hours rather than actual days. :)

9 Dec 2008, 13:25
You should set up a "internet clock" where you would link to, and we can refer to it for a fixed time instead of having to calculate the differences between the GMT time and our current time zones.
:-/ like make a TVG custom timezone or something.

Alternatively, you could look at the time I made the post beginning Day 1 and realize the Night will began at that time tomorrow. :p
EDIT: In theory, the times do not matter that much anyway. Aside from the fact that in 24 hours everyone should be able to find a time to post, it is really just an upper limit. If I had enough votes during the Day/received all necessary PMs during the Night I would probably start the next phase earlier.

Since everyone has voted, no point in keeping you all waiting:
The villagers had gathered for the first lynching. There some initial discord and much hand-waving and weaseling from franpa, but soon the village came to a united decision that GrimOswald was too suspicious to stay. Why, they could not say. Maybe it was the way he coughed all the time. Maybe it was his demeanor. Maybe it was the vampire fangs sticking out of his mouth and his vampire cloak swirling around him. Regardless, they all grabbed a hold of him tied him to a stake, which they then proceeded to set fire to. "THIS ISN'T OVER!" he screamed. "THIS IS REALLY MORE LIKE A MINOR INCONVENIENCE! WHILE MY CHILDREN LIVE ON I SHALL BE BACK! YOU'LL SEE! HAHAHAHAHA..." And then his face started peeling away, much to the relief of the villagers, who had been starting to get a headache.
Day 1 is over. GrimOswald has been lynched.
Night 1 has begun! PMs from all you people who work at night please. :)

Lushmoss
10 Dec 2008, 01:37
Mossworm sighs a big sigh of relief: he had survived at least one day of lynching... yet there was still the night to be wary of! After all, there were vampires on the loose, and no amount of bat-repellant would keep them away.
The little guy settles down to a restless night in the inn's wine cellar, with only a single lit candle and a dingo for company amid the barrels of alchohol...

So night time shall be the most boring, since we can't post on who to lynch, and the night-workers have to PM you.

GrimOswald's remains were dumped into the nearby river, and the villagers did not notice hungry fishes happily eating away. The fishes suddenly got a weird sensation on their jaws and horror followed. The fishes bit each other, their blood murking the once clear, shallow water.

11 Dec 2008, 01:52
It was, understandably, a restless night in Eversmile, the villagers tossing and turning in their sleep. Kelster23 could be heard mumbling "Who is next? Who is next?" And for those that did manage to sleep, their dreams were haunted by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
The morning came, and the villagers emerged from their houses, rubbing the tiredness from their eyes. They all looked at one another, the same thoughts running through their minds. Maybe it was already over? Maybe GrimOswald had just been bluffing, and had been the ONLY vampire? Then suddenly, there was a scream. Everyone began to hurry over, only to hear ANOTHER scream from the other side of the village. One by one, the various body parts that comprised yauhui were discovered, hidden all over in various nooks and crannies. It was soon realized that this was too good an opportunity to miss, and the Happyfolk all had a good old fashioned Easter Egg hunt. Except, you know, with yauhui's gory remains.
Night 1 is over. yauhui has been killed.
Day 2 has commenced!

GrimOswald
12 Dec 2008, 00:39
Pickleworm has not voted yet, but somehow I do not think it is going to make a difference at this point, so I will go ahead and get on with it now:
The time had come for another lynching. The Happyfolk were remarkably united in their decision (See also: Lemmings, Sheeple), despite once again the slight annoyance of franpa jumping all over the place and foaming at the mouth. Metal Alex tried to retain a calm demeanor and meet his fate with dignity, but then cracked under the pressure and attempted to escape up a chimney. Which was a great success, until he realized there was nowhere to go from the roof. One of the villagers lobbed a rock at him, and he stumbled and fell over backwards into the boiling cauldron waiting below.
And the villagers all enjoyed badly drawn stew for dinner.
Day 2 is over. Metal Alex has been lynched.
Night 2 has begun! PMs from all you people who work at night please. :)

GrimOswald
13 Dec 2008, 10:13
Sorry for the delay guys, was waiting on my PM inbox. :)
Another day in Eversmile had begun. From the outside, one would likely not see anything out of place, let alone realize the true horror that haunted the town. The villagers went about their morning chores, doing their best to keep their spirits up and their minds off of...other things. It was one such villager that went up to the well to retrieve water, as they always did. They lowered the pail down the well, then back up again, though it felt strangely heavier than something carrying water should on the way back up. And it did contain water. It also contained the severed head of Plasma, which, to add insult to injury, had crude mustaches drawn over it in crayon. Rather than screaming, the villager breathed a sigh of relief and went down to the village to tell the others the good news. They stuck a pole through it and erected it in the square as a reminder.
+5 Severed Head of Increased Morale acquired!
Night 2 is over. Plasma has been killed.
Day 3 begins henceforth!

Plasma's Final Message To Creation:
"Coulda seen this coming, nobody likes the dung farmer. But it was my family's noble tradition to farm dung for no apparent reason, and I wasn't prepared to stop just because of what people thought of me and my legally insane actions!
In any case, the best way of telling whose a vampire is by seeing who voted for an innocent guy, in this case me. And if my memory serves me correctly, the single guy who did was Plasma!
Wait...
DAMN ME! I BLEW IT UP! DAMN ME ALL TO HELL!
In other news, I probably should've mentioned that I was getting strange visions from... someone, something about being a "priest". I was worried until they mentioned that it wouldn't interfere with my noble dung farming duties. Simply put, it means that 'it' would tell me the combined total of all vampires, the 'guarian angel' and the 'seer'. Which, so far, totals four (not including myself. Apparently I'm not special enough. Hmph!). So...
My guess is that there's three vampires and the guardian angel left, and Yauhui was the Seer. I'm estimating that on that it's far too unlikely for there to be just two vampires, because that'd make a pretty crappy horror movie. I also suspected Yauhui to be the Seer because he mentioned something about "What should a Seer do? You were a Seer before, right?", which I thought was most odd at the time, considering I had no idea what the heck a Seer was. I still think he was crazier than I was, but whatever...
All being said, I have absolutely no idea who the vampires and guardian angel are. I'm the hermet here, don't ask me about people!
I mean, aside from the butler, of course.
Oh, and on one final note: I know you lot have been wanting to do it for a long time, but for the love of god, do not stick a pole through my head and erect it in the square! You lot should at least have the decency to not do that!"

Truly the vampires had done Eversmile a great service.
On a more "serious" note, I believe Dead Men and the declining of Telling Tales was once mentioned?

I'm voting for Kelster23.

Pickleworm

Lushmoss. I can't tell if he's acting weird because he's a weirdo or if he's acting weird because he's a vampire.
Kelster is suspicious and we should vote for her tomorrow if we get no new leads but I have no idea who Lushmoss is and he's super in-character so it'll be really hard to detect any sort of hint from him(?) down the line

I have no idea who Lushmoss is and he's super in-character so it'll be really hard to detect any sort of hint from him(?) down the lineI'd argue that by acting so in-character he can't be a vampire, because it is suspicious therefore no vampire would act that way. On the other hand, if you argue that no vampire would act that way, maybe a vampire would do it so as not to look like a vampire... aargh, recursion.
But I'm also interested in the psychology of the Vampires here. Would they all block vote right at the start in order to get a bandwagon rolling against an innocent human? What happens if they decide not to do that (because if the humans guess that it's the case and maybe the Seer tries the first person to post on a hunch then game over*), but then a bandwagon forms against one of their number? Do they try and alter the course of the bandwagon, or do they take the hit?
Actually, this can lead to more metagaming. Say the Seer decides on principle to check out the first person to vote. That gives the Guardian Angel a massive incentive to be the first person to vote, because the GA is basically shooting in the dark unless the Seer discovers them. Of course, if the GA does try to do that, then the vampires/werewolves/mafia/THINGS can work out who the GA is by that. So, uh... bang goes that idea. Unless you try and fit randomness in. "Heads, I check the person who posted first", "Heads, I try to post first", etc. Or you could fine-tune your randomness by, say, rolling a die or looking at a clock and seeing where the second hand is and making your choice based on what sector of the clock it's in. It's basically all game theory.
The upshot of all this: I can't say for definite if this is werewolf block-voting or genuine human suspicion. However, I notice that MrBunsy voted first twice in a row (I also noticed that Shadowlord and super_frea voted after him, so I have my suspicions there, but one can only lynch one person at a time...).
EDIT: Hmm... if the Vampires were the ones holding up the PMing and Grim posted as soon as he was done with that, then the Vampires would have first opportunity to post their votes...

I did indeed deliberately try to post first both times, and at the risk of the vampires learning one of my tricks, but hopefully in an attempt to save my own skin, I'd like to explain why. In posting first I set off the bandwagon, and thus could see who else followed it. People tend to follow bandwagons when they're clueless and not thinking at all ( :P ), when they're trying to save their own skin (if there's a suggestion people might try and vote for them) and when they're vamps just ensuring another human gets bumped off.
The fact that ShadowLord and super_frea followed me so directly both times leads me to suspect not too well organised vampires. Thus I change my vote to ShadowLord and want to see their response.

For a full minute, Mossworm's heart stopped beating.
Someone had voted for him.
Lack of oxygen to the brain for that minute causes the worm to forget all of his German skills, a linguistical endevour that he had spent thirteen years learning. A few english words are lost as well. So when the manic worm regains circulation to his body, his speech is garbled like a an alchoholic on pot attempting to recite the entire english dictionary.
Hence this: "Arbglan-aragnah eeyyoin Kelster uuuuuu-----uuuuuu nyaheheh."

Although franpa has not voted yet, I cannot see things changing too much, and it has technically been 24 hours since the Day was SUPPOSED to begin, so without further ado:
Another day, another lynching. This time things started to get messy, and accusations were flung hither and yon like 1 second grenades, despite franpa's curious absence. Nobody could be trusted. However, there was a general consensus that Kelster23 was the personification of the Devil. Weren't women supposed to bring bad luck anyway? Or was that only on boats? Who knows. In any case, the villagers took her down to the lake and performed the ancient Witch Test, which clearly applied to vampires: if she sank, she was innocent; if she floated, she was guilty. They tossed her in.
She sank half way then floated in the middle.
Crud.
Later, one of the villagers went and retrieved her drowned corpse. They severed the head, stuck it on a pole, and erected it in the square next to Plasma. And everyone had a jolly good laugh.
Day 3 is over. Kelster23 has been lynched.
Night 3 has begun! PMs from all you people who work at night please. :)

GrimOswald
14 Dec 2008, 13:37
Since I have all the PMs, I see no reason not to jump start things. :)
Another night passed in Eversmile. It had been a calm and beautiful evening, but everyone had gone to sleep knowing it could be their last one. Not a pleasant thought.
In the morning the Happyfolk gathered together morosely, wondering where next they would find the disembodied parts of one of their fellow villagers. But a quick head count revealed that there was the same number of people as when they had gone to bed! Had the terrible vampire menace finally been ended? Then one of the villagers pointed to the wall of a house, on which three things had been scrawled in a familiar crayon: a frowning face with angry eyebrows; a crude picture of what could only be assumed to be an especially ugly albatross; and a single sentence that simply read:
"GODDAMN IT!"
Night 3 is over. The Guardian Angel has made a save! Truly, you are all blessed. :p
Day 4 has started!

Rock on.
Now, you may or may not choose to believe this, but I made my last post deliberately, in the hope that it attracted the attention of the vampires. "Hello, Paul's firing his brain, we'd better try and take him out before it hits something".
At first it sounds suicidal, and I admit I took a big risk, but I had confidence that the Guardian Angel would realise that my post put me at risk from vampire attack and therefore opt to protect me. Think of it as using myself as a human shield in the hope that my body armour was up to the task. The upshot is, it worked brilliantly and the humans have been bought an extra day.
Now, I realise that this doesn't guarantee I'm not a vampire. I could be lying through my teeth, and the GA may just have made a lucky guess. But I think the circumstantial evidence for me being human is pretty strong. Balance of probabilities and all that.
I'm not going to cast my vote just yet. I want to conduct further analysis of the pattern of voting first. All I can say to my fellow humans is: please don't vote for someone just because everyone else has. Use your wits, your powers of deduction and probability assessment, even your gut instincts. Only with our brains can we beat the vampire threat.

It's not just this though. Shadowmoon following a bandwagon is unsurprising because that's just who it is and I wouldn't consider it suspicious behavior. If Shadowmoon began vehemently arguing in defense of someone, then I'd consider both him and the person he is defending a vampire. There's no reason to suspect Lushmoss of anything, but we never will have a reason to suspect him of anything. Killing Lushmoss would be a entirely defensive move, as opposed to an offensive one.
Shadowlord/super_frea were suspicious yesterday. super_frea has given reasons for his bandwagon-following before so I'd say he's less suspicious than Shadowlord at the moment.
Alien King is also suspiciously under-the-radar at the moment. He's the type of person that I would expect to be debating metagame sort of such too, but he's also the sort of person I would expect to be busy with schoolwork so who knows.
I'm really annoyed that the guardian angel made a save last night because seeing who got killed would have helped a lot right about now :p
I guess I'm going Shadowlord, all things considered. Then maybe Alien King next depending on what (if anything) is revealed through the night.

I was considering this, too. I figured MrBunsy/I were safe because we mentioned specific people and it would have been really suspicious to kill either of us. And the Guardian Angel would do well to save you because you've demonstrated your metagame-whateverness skills.

Well the metagame discussion hasn't been going on long and began after my last post.
I am busy, but not with schoolwork - I play games far too much for that. :rolleyes:
I'm not sure I fully trust Paul, but I like his reasoning. Either he's a vampire and the GA made a lucky save and he's exploited this fact, or he's the GA or good friends with him.
And these long discussion posts strike me as a bit... odd.
As for my vote, not yet.

Paul.Power
14 Dec 2008, 16:28
Some more food for thought: There are nine people left in the game. The GA is still alive. Plasma's story about him being the Priest is believable (he can't be a vampire as he was killed by the vampires) and that there are four specialists left. I also agree with him that yauhui was the Seer thanks to his rather tactless "Great. Just when I was waiting for a PM from Grim. :-/" line. That's an impressive two "specialist kills" on the first two turns from the vampires, but perhaps they were checking who was reading their PMs.
This means that there are either two or three vampires left (depending on whether or not Kelster was a vampire). Let's assume a worst case scenario of there being three vampires, so it's six : three. Let's also assume that we lynch a human this turn by accident and that the GA fails to save someone tonight. That brings it down to four : three. One more wrong lynching takes it to three : three and a Vampire win. We have a little wiggle room, but not very much.
EDIT:
And these long discussion posts strike me as a bit... odd.First game, I didn't play. Second game, I was the first to be killed by the werewolves precisely because they guessed I would talk and think until I found a weak point in their defences.

15 Dec 2008, 00:01
Mossworm had spent the majority of the day poking the floating Kelster23's body with a long stick, hoping to possibly get the damn thing to make up it's mind if it was a vampire or not.
The intruige was getting to him. His eyes were bloodshot. His teeth bleached. His bread buttered. Pickleworm's hounding of the poor, little guy made it only so much worse for Mossworm: yes, he was recently from out of town, and acted differently from everybody else. Alas, except for a suspicious dingo, the worm had no connections to anybody, and until this vampire buisness blew over it was unlikely that he would be making any new friends.
Shed a tear for the poor worm.
Oh, look at the clock: it's lynch-time, except instead of sammiches it was someone's head being served up. "Shadowlord!" he shouts, yet he eyes Franpa and Super-Frea with suspicous eyes... but then again, he knew what it was to be hounded. So he deals with the stress by hitting himself repeatedly with his stick.

Although Paul and ShadowLord have not voted yet, I cannot really see much changing, so I shall go ahead and end the Day now (And the latter has admitted he has nothing to say :p).
Here they were, once again. It had not been an extremely eventful day, although franpa had somehow managed to double the amount of dingos around. A few villagers tried to slink away discretely when the time came, some making claims of cats not let out and kettles left on, but soon they were all dragged together to participate in the voting. This time the decision was unanimous: ShadowLord was suspicious to the highest degree. He did not seem phased by his imminent execution. In fact, he barely reacted at all, his expression remaining the same D: it always did. When asked if he had any famous last words, he said simply "Meh." Which was still more than anyone had ever heard him say, and is a tale that would be passed down to their grandchildren (Providing they, er, survived). The villagers decided on a fitting end: they made him lie down on the ground and kicked him one at a time until he died, then left his corpse to rot. They were not sure HOW this was fitting, but they felt it was.
The flies liked it, anyway.
Day 4 is over. ShadowLord has been lynched.

The first rays of sunshine seeped their way through the windows. The early birds trilled the first notes of their beautiful songs. Yes, it was morning time in Eversmile. Even those who normally viewed it as an abomination of nature, saying things like "What is this ungodly hour?" were relieved to see it come.
The villagers instantly noticed that something was different. That something distinct was...missing. But they could not put their finger on exactly what it was. Tentatively, they spread out and searched the entire area, preparing themselves to find a severed head or grisly skeleton around every corner. Nothing was to be seen, but they knew the vampires remained. They knew that someone's presence was lacking. Many puzzled looks and confused scratching of heads followed. And then it hit them. They all rushed down to the wine cellar of the town inn. As the light poured in from upstairs, they could dimly see a dingo hanging from the ceiling. "I told you it was the din-" franpa began, but was quickly cut off by the other villagers' glares. They moved closer so that they could see better, and were nearly sick; the dingo was INSIDE-OUT. Slowly, they cut it down and inspected the body. It was incredibly bloated. Too bloated. Knife in hand, one of them made a cut through the middle and ripped a hole through it. The sound it made as it was pulled open was disgusting. What was even more disgusting was the also inside-out corpse of Lushmoss crumpled and half digested inside. The villagers fled in terror from the cellar and locked the door behind them, leaving poor Moss to his nonsensical, horrific grave.
Night 4 is over. Lushmoss has been killed.
Day 5 is a go-go!

If only the villagers had been a little more attentive, they would've noticed the hastily scrawn message written on the floor of the cellar. It simply read:

My reasons for suspecting super_frea are as follows, he always posted with ShadowLord, agreeing to lynch whoever I suggested (granted that doesn't sound good for me, but I generally explain my choices for voting), without ever giving a reason as to why he was voting for them - following bandwagons works well as a wolf vamp, because you can ensure humans are killed off without exposing yourself.
He also never said much else except to vote. Thinking about it, this is also true of franpa.
You can all go ahead and vote for me anyway, but we're rapidly running out of people, so you'll just end up proving my point :P

But I know what you mean.
For what it's worth... time for something that will either be a) already obvious or b) a bombshell: I'm the Guardian Angel. Hence my whole "taunt-and-tank" trick in round 3. I tried it again in Round 4, but sadly Lushmoss was the vampires' target that round. I was deliberately vague about it previously for obvious oh-heck-vampires reasons, but at this late stage I thought that I might as well mention it, just in case it gives anyone a flash of inspiration. Sorry I haven't been much use other than a successful Round 3 save of myself.

I may be wrong, but usually vampires try and stay hidden and not associated with each other until it's too late for the humans to do much about it. With (presumably) our seer dead, we are reduced to trying to force the quiet people to talk as much as possible, in the hope that we can see who the vampires are.

GrimOswald
17 Dec 2008, 03:32
Alien King has not voted yet, but it has been 24 hours, and it does not look like the result is going to change anyhow, so here we go.
Lynching time had arrived once more. It was easy to see the villagers were getting more and more stressed with each passing day. All afternoon they had argued and bickered with each other, with franpa standing on the sidelines eagerly, urging them to get the boxing gloves out. Eventually though, the tide turned on MrBunsy. There could surely be no doubt that this was the mastermind behind it all. Since the beginning he had been suspicious, using big words in that silky smooth voice of his to get others to bend unto his desires. They grabbed hold of him and took him to the square, where the village guillotine resided (Why a peaceful town such as Eversmile HAD a guillotine nobody was sure. Probably in case Plasma started touching people with his dung ridden hands). They placed him with his head on the quite literal chopping block and readied the blade. In a final act of defiance, he shouted "They can tak' oour lives but they cannae tak' oour trousers!" in his best Scottish accent. The blade was let loose.
FSHINK WOOOOOSH SPLURTCH.
Later that day, his corpse was nowhere to be seen, and franpa was better dressed than usual.

Cold. Wet.
During the day dark clouds had begun to gather, and now during the night they came together to create a cacophony of sound, a storm the likes of which had not been seen for many a moon. The rain and hail pounded down relentlessly on the rooftops, and at some points it seemed like it would come crashing through the ceiling. Thunder could be heard ominously, soon followed by its dear pal lightning. Even a vampire would have a hard time going out at a time like this.
But surely, there were no more vampires left.
Surely...
The morning came, and not much had changed. The sky was decidedly gray, and everything was completely drenched. Possibly because it was STILL RAINING. Taking whatever they could find to protect themselves, the remaining villagers wandered cautiously outside and huddled together. They took a head count, deduced who was missing, and feared the worst. But then they noticed his figure standing in the square. Could it be? Could this all finally be over? They headed towards him and started speaking to him. He was silent. His eyes were glazed over. They looked closer and realized there was something odd about his face...that something was pressing against the mouth. One of the villagers pried it open with his hands, and suddenly a horde of bats swarmed out and starting flying all around them. They kept pouring through, more than seemed possible, and the villagers jumped and waved their hands around desperately trying to get them away. Eventually they flew off into the distance, leaving the boneless, hollow corpse of super_frea to crumple to the ground.
Night 5 is over. super_frea has been killed.

Five left. Either two vamps and three humans, or one vamp and four humans. If it's the former, then this lynching is critical. But if it's the latter, then there's a higher chance of accidentally lynching another human.
Alien King, franpa, Pickleworm, Shadowmoon. I... hmm. Yes, actually. franpa has been fairly low-key throughout. I didn't notice, but he was actually the first person to vote on Day 2, before Bunsy. He's almost been operating below the radar with his lynching, and I've mostly not noticed him. So franpa.

Franpa has being very quiet throughout the game, and he's mostly being in the first 3 to vote. Also, he was online on the day he didn't vote- A couple of hours after GrimOswald revealed who was killed in the night.

Death is boring. That's why ghosts exist, because scaring people is entertaining.

Everyone was silent. It was still gray and raining, with evening fast approaching. A cold and bitter wind chilled them to their very bones. The seriousness of the last week of events had truly set in. 9 of their fellow villagers were DEAD, with only 5 left standing. There was no humorous side to this. Truly, there were Happyfolk no more. Even franpa was morose.
And this was well justified, as the rest of the villagers had come to a united decision that franpa was the one to be lynched. Since day one he had been the most suspicious of them all. Subtle bandwagon propagating. Inconspicuous reasoning that made him seem like just another dumb human. Flying so low under the radar he ended up back ABOVE the radar...there could be no alternative.
The villagers decided on the classic, traditional method of hanging. They put up a platform underneath a tree and made him stand on it. They made a noose in the rope and tied it to the tree, putting the noose around his neck. They asked if he had any last words, and, after thinking about it for a minute, he said "You guys suck." The platform was kicked out from under him.
The villagers watched the body swing gently in the breeze. Alien King looked up at the sky and remarked "Funny. Not a single ray of sunlight has pierced those clouds...and we all know the vampires are renowned for being creatures of...shadow..."
Shadowmoon turned to him. "I suppose then, that to a human, they would seem quite...alien..."
They narrowed their eyes at each other for a moment. Then they grinned.
In a sudden flurry of movement, Shadowmoon burst round and with an inhuman amount of strength decapitated Pickleworm with his bare hand, while Alien King sweep-kicked Paul.Power's legs from under him and pinned him to the ground. "Your flesh and blood will make a scrumptious meal indeed," AK hissed, "But it is your SOUL that I shall savor, oh Guardian Angel." Paul glared at him, his resolve never faltering. "Next time I go on holiday I'll be sure to pay you a visit in HELL, vampire," he spat.
"See, I TOLD you guys AK was a vampire!" said *Splinter*. The vampires turned to face him. "Erm, whoops, sorry, wrong village, mine is the next one up," he said hurriedly, and fled as fast as he could into the distance.
Alien King and Shadowmoon made their way to the top of the highest hill in the area, looking down on the town. AK raised his scepter into the air, and it started to crackle with dark magic, powered by the corrupted valor of the Guardian Angel. "THIS VILLAGE OF EVERSMILE IS NO MORE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "LET THE REIGN OF THE VAMPIRES OF BRAUNAHAWK BEGIN!" He pointed his scepter at the village, and there was a burst of lightning, creating an energy field that engulfed the entire village. One by one, the souls of the dead villagers began to materialize. "ARISE MY MINIONS!" he laughed maniacally, "I AM THE MASTER VAMPIRE!"
Shadowmoon tapped him on the shoulder. "Erm, are you sure GrimOswald will be so happy with tha-"
Without turning Alien King slapped him, and he fell over and rolled down the hill. By the time he reached the bottom there was nothing left but his charred remains.
Day 6 is over. franpa has been lynched. That makes two vampires and two humans left, which means The Vampires Win!
The Vampires were Alien King, Metal Alex and Shadowmoon. Paul.Power was the Guardian Angel, Plasma was the Priest, and yauhui was the Seer. The Night 3 save was indeed Paul saving himself.
Good game guys, and well played Vampires! Hope you all enjoyed it. I do not know if the Vampires got lucky or if they were watching PM activity or something, but they managed to bag two specials the first two nights, and would have managed a hat trick if not for Paul's cunning plan. On that note, despite losing, kudos to Paul for doing his best and using his, you know, BRAIN. :p As far as I could tell there was no human networking or connections outside this thread - no doubt thanks to previously mentioned offing of specials so early on - so that helped the Vampires immensely. Like I said, hope everyone had fun.
So...would anyone be interested in another round? :cool:

Well done vampires!
And I'm certainly game for another, Grim!

Role-playing is encouraged.

I, I thought I was playing the roll of the dungeon Keeper and the point was to kill all humans :/ damn you guys!

haha that was epic all the humans DIED.
I'm up for another round :)

Oh well, good game.

Looking forward to number 4.

Shadowmoon
19 Dec 2008, 07:56
Yay, we won.
Yauhui and Plasma were just lucky guesses. We never suspected them of anything. Yauhui was killed in the hope franpa would be suspicious to the public, but sadly we lost Metal Alex :(
I had to kill Plasma on Night 2 because Alien King hadn't responded to my PM by the time night was about to end. I had to make the decision myself.
You already know why we targeted Paul, but after he was saved we knew he was most likely the GA, so we didn't take any more chances. Paul's trick to get another day for the humans was great thinking though, so well done.
Anyway, i'm up for another round.

Heh, pretty much my thoughts. Oh, and I told you I was human :p
Good game though! I'd definitely be up for another one.

Alien King

Strangely, a couple of the humans began talking to me. I'm not sure why.
It was useful in protecting myself from lynches though.
Good game all. I'm definitly up for the next game.

I'll play again and er, try not to make people be suspicious about me LOL.

Plasma

Sure, I'll play again too. The vampires were really lucky that they got two of the specials at the very start.
I had guessed Paul was either a vampire or, less likely, the GA by the time he did his second taunt. I knew a human wouldn't do something like that, because expecting the GA to save them a second time would be stupid.

Metal Alex
19 Dec 2008, 14:31
With Grim's suggestion of changing my post, I was DOOMED! XD
I mean, even if I remained the same or not, it'd look suspicious anyways.
Good game, anyways, to you survivors!

We were lucky. Even so, I was still worried that the seer was at large throughout most of the game.
Regarding Paul, I would have thought (from a human view) that him being the GA or human was more likely. Obviously I knew he wasn't a vampire, but vampires tend to avoid too much attention and such a ploy would depend on too much luck. A human can engineer the vampires trying to kill them in the night, but the vampires cannot engineer a save.
