Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

The King had grown increasingly paranoid of late. He and his family were under guard's watch day and knight. Ever since the betrayal of one his sworn Royal Guards, King Neo made sure that each guard had another guard watching him. Because of this, Jason had been caught. He had tried to sneak away on Bond's watch when he thought Bond was sleeping. Bond had only been pretending to sleep for this very reason. BreakABone did the honors himself, sliding his sword into Jason's heart, and watching the spirit inside float away.

Bond stalked the halls of the keep. He had a mission to complete but was on edge as he was convinced he could hear footsteps tailing him. Bond stopped and strained his ears to listen. He heard a quiet echo off in the distance and then nothing. Bond's first mission had been a failure and resulted in the death of an innocent. But he redeemed himself the moment he loosed that crossbow bolt into Manasecret's spine. Now he had a new target. One of his own guards. Schadenfreude had been acting very curious lately, calling everything Bond said into question. Constantly questioning and disobeying. Bond was convinced that Schadenfreude had been possessed. He opened the door to Schadenfreude's sleeping quarters as quietly as he could. Inching closer to the bed, Bond unsheathed his dagger.

He had second thoughts as he stood over Schadenfreude's bed but knew he had to do this to save lives. Bond brought the blade down in one quick motion, and buried it deep in Schadenfeude's throat. Schadenfreude opened his eyes at the last moment, dying with an expression of pure terror.

And then...nothing. No spirit lifted from his body. He was innocent. Bond fell to his knees and dropped his dagger. He began to sob as the thought of another innocent man's blood on his hands was too much to bear. That's when he felt a blade pierce him from behind.

"You're free now", whispered the killer.

And then nothing.

DYNE! You did not vote last round. Fail to do so again and you are out of the game!

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Gahhhh. The vigilante is dead, this game is making my head spin. There are only two mafia left, though. And at least we have the Seer (somewhere).

Two corrupt Royal Guards? Anything to say about this BaB? You are their leader...

P.S. Bond, honestly, isn't this the third game you got the Vigilante role? How does that work?

Edit: Accusing BaB doesn't really make sense, because he was all in favor of killing of Jason1, and encouraged us to sway our vote from Bond. So now what?

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I'll start this round off first, I have my qualms.
!Vote Germinator for my last round reasons I cherish.
To pull my thoughts from the book of psalms,
"For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

What in the hell? I was sure that I voted. I also didn't see when the round was ending. Damnit.

Also, Bond always gets the cool roles. :(

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Gah! So it seems the mob was right this round. I'm glad I didn't put enough faith in Jason to try to protect him.

It would seem BreakaBone knows what he's doing despite my suspicions. Hmm...I shall weigh my thoughts heavily this round. Right now, those who voted for Bond have my suspicion.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

It breaks my mind but it JUST KEEPS HAPPENING!!

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

My parting words is a list of five random letters:

GJTTF.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Dammit, lost the vigilante


At least our votes were correct :D

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

God damnit.
That was a bittersweet round.
I'm glad I voted for Jason in the end though.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Hmm, good job on the Jason vote...For some reason I thought he might be innocent, but wrong I was. Two Mafia still lurk out there somewhere..

It's a shame we lost Bond, but we're still pretty strong 11-2...I'm trying to figure out Bond's random code...

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I personally think his message was just there to cause mass confusion and point fingers.


Also, Swan - Why Teuth? If you wan't people to side with you, usually give a reason. Haha.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I doubt there's a secret message in there. Having said that, I know damn well I'm going to puzzle over it for a good long while.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Hah, so my speculations were wrong again. I hope that doesn't make me too suspicious. At least I gave my reasons.

At least now we know who to trust.

And if Bond's message contains a hidden message, I really don't think that's allowed (talking about the game after you die).

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I completely agree.

Well, this pretty much clears me of being Mafia. I voted for Jason to protect Bond and now you know why.

As for who to vote for next, I have my ideas. :ohreilly:

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

:ohreilly:


!Vote Angrist

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

:(

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Speaking ill of Bond's secret Ovaltine message will now cost you dearly. :nono:

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I work all day, thats why I couldnt defend myself...I mean thats no reason to vote for someone, at least not to me. Obiously I wouldve said I was innocent. That being said, good job on getting me I guess. Whatever though, you guys are completley clueless from here on out, that I am sure of. The Mafia will prevail!

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

You just don't like the rules of this game?

Or we are clueful.

If my math holds correct,
we have 4 days to find two people.
It shouldn't be that difficult, I'd imagine.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

!retract Angrist

I may have been to hasty, need some more time to ponder

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Going to go with one of my earlier deductions

!vote Germinator

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Very few votes so far people. Tsk tsk tsk


Don't make me vote for you all

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

...I'm all alone.

You mafia bastards will pay with your heads for killing the Captain.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Hmm, shot in the dark since I don't know how to read this round that well, in terms of bad people. I feel I can trust Germanator though.

!vote jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

all the cool people are doing it, so


!retract germinator

!vote Jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

!retract teuthidia




!vote Jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I was torn between voting for Germinator and jeepnut last round. Both voted for BAB and were my Other cohorts in the Lost game so I know they can be quite tricky...but that would be like voting for Vampyr early every game because of his success in the first one. Swan not giving any reasoning for his votes is bothering me though. Shall go with him for now.

!vote Swan

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Boooond. WTF?

How about nothing in your goodbye post that could be conceived as game related, okay guys?

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I have to travel in an hour, so for now I'm going with the cool guys, because they were right last round.

Back to one of my earliest suspects, !Vote Jeepnut!

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I'll do what makes the most sense.
We weren't wrong last time.
We can make it two in a row, right?
Right?


!Vote Jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Well, I don't know what I've done to deserve suspicion, but whoever has been pulling strings behind the scene must have decided that I'm the next on the chopping block.

Whatever. You guys have plenty of villagers to spare so what's one more victim? Nevermind that last round was the first time you've been right.

Well, to those who will remain, I implore you to be suspicious of those that voted for Bond last round.

However, I'm trying to save my ass, so I'll vote !Germanator.

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Why not, you wrote 5 in your blood, maybe Bond wrote letters in his blood.

Anyways, I dont have time to thoughtfully choose someone so ill go with the group.

!vote jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

I agree. We'll stick together and hope for the best.

!vote jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

*sigh* I thought Bond's message was "Good job Tavern Tales founder." But was actually far less cryptic. Kind of ruins the fun. And so...

!retract Swan

!vote jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Well, I guess there's only one option.

!vote jeepnut

Re: Mafia Round 4 - Guards
 

Gonna go against the grain just in case this doesnt work out for us

!vote TML
