Proposal: Town Meeting: Avenge the Mayor

Self-killed by a corpse. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 25 Oct 2007 09:17:34 UTC

Whereas the death of the mayor is a despicable thing, and the peoples of Zhandorf loved him greatly, I say that we need vengance!  Someone in this village is responsible for his death and someone needs to pay! I say we take our pitchforks to the one who was responsible for this!

Change the status of the villager with the most suspicions cast against them at the time of this proposals enactment from alive to dead.  In the event that there is a tie for which Villager has the most suspicions cast against them this proposal has no effect.

Each Villager may cast suspicion on any number of other Villagers by making a comment with the text “I suspect *Name*” Where *Name* is the name of any Villager with the Status Alive.  Only the most recent comment of each Villager will be counted for this proposal, and a Villager may not cast Suspiscion on any Villager more than once in a single comment.

Shadowclaw:

I suspect Amnistar, for inciting open-ended lynch mobs to cover for his true activities.

Well, as stated before, the idea comes from the original mafia game which the gnomic is based on, which goes in turns.  First the “werewolves” kill someone, then the “mob” kills someone.  In every game I’ve played, it’s not been a choice as to whether or not someone was killed, but rather, who it was to be killed.  Therefore, to keep in the spirit of the mafia, I know say someone has to die.

*sigh* stupid proposal wording to prevent cheating…

I suspect spikebrennan. Because he tries to hard to be innocent.

I suspect Kevan. Because this line is pointless, as Kevan is dead.

I suspect Zartustra. Because.

I suspect Shadowclaw. I suspect Telsa4d. For bandwagoning.

Darknight: he/him

The forced-lynching Amnistar mentioned is the thing I hate most about real Mafia, followed closely by the fact that there is never any true mechanical authority to reinforce the evidence that the Policeman (or, say, Night Watchman) has actually obtained.

In this game, it doesn’t have to be that way.  against until we’ve seen some backs.

Kevan: he/him

24-10-2007 08:34:18 UTC

If you’re going to be doing this every day, you should make it a rule so that we don’t have to scrutinise the wording of it every time.

(It could also use a clause stopping dead villagers from suspecting anyone; maybe even retroactively ignoring suspicions of dead villagers, so that the werewolves can bump people off wo are getting too close, during a slow Town Meeting.)

I suspect Spikebrennan because he isnt giving away any of the silver bullets

Hix:

24-10-2007 14:45:20 UTC

against  Sorry, I like to know exactly what I’m voting for.  Leaving exactly who gets killed as a variable is a bit much.

And again with “Each Villager may cast suspicion…” being one of the effects of this proposal’s enactment.  Stop doing that!  Just define what a valid suspicion is, count them up, deal with ties, and kill off the “winner”.  As written, the only definition of “suspicion” given in the proposal is in the “Each Villager may cast suspicion…” line.  Since the proposal’s effects don’t happen until it is enacted, we may not at this time cast official suspicions.

spikebrennan:

24-10-2007 14:45:46 UTC

Okay, then, who wants one?

Hix:

24-10-2007 14:52:13 UTC

SB, just give them away; never mind whether the recipients actually want them.  You don’t need permission.  Would be a shame if the werewolves get you before you distribute.

Amnistar: he/him

24-10-2007 14:53:35 UTC

since suspicions aren’t tallied until the proposal is enacted, defining suspicion within the proposal works, as supspicion is defined in it’s enactment, then used to determine who gets killed.  Seems pretty straightforward to me…

spikebrennan:

24-10-2007 14:54:33 UTC

Or the lynch mob, by the way.  (And in case “Only the most recent comment of each Villager will be counted for this proposal” applies to voting as well,  against again.

spikebrennan:

24-10-2007 15:13:10 UTC

In conclusion:
against
I suspect Amnistar, for pointing the finger at me.
I suspsect Bucky: Nothing personal, I just don’t want to win this election.

spikebrennan:

24-10-2007 15:13:42 UTC

Damn typo.

I suspect Amnistar, for pointing the finger at me.
I suspect Bucky: Nothing personal, I just don’t want to win this election.

Bucky:

Looks like I’m going to bite it here simply because I was offline and unable to defend myself:

I suspect Amnistar, for slandering the only living Villager I know isn’t a werewolf.

I suspect aaronbonwin for the same reason.

Amnistar: he/him

24-10-2007 16:55:59 UTC

I don’t think you’re gonna bite it…it’s gonna be some time before this goes through, a day at least…

Bucky:

24-10-2007 17:03:29 UTC

It’s already done some damage by making me reveal far more information than I wanted to.

I suspect Amnistar as stated above
I suspect aaronwinborn for the same reason
And now I also suspect Tesla4D for not replying to the e-mail I sent him.

Amnistar: he/him

24-10-2007 17:15:20 UTC

After a clandestine meeting with someone whom I trust on the issue of who might and might not be a werewolf, I present the following supsisicions:

I suspect Aaron
I suspect Bucky
I suspect Clucky
I suspect Darknight
I suspect Igthorn
I suspect Rodney
I suspect Tesla4D
I suspect Spikebrennan

Brendan: he/him

24-10-2007 17:27:04 UTC

Who’s Aaron?  If that was an attempt to make it look like you copied and pasted it from a Night Watchman email, I think it just failed.

Amnistar: he/him

24-10-2007 17:31:21 UTC

LOL my bad, the email I received refered to him as Aaron, which I assume is the shortened version of Aaronwinborn.  And no, I am not the night watchman, I merely have spoken with someone whom I believe has a good knowledge of who may have been active the night our good mayor died.

I suspect Aaron
I suspect Bucky
I suspect Clucky (hairy back)
I suspect Darknight
I suspect Igthorn
I suspect Rodney (hairy back)
I suspect Tesla4D (hairy back)
I suspect Spikebrennan

Amnistar: he/him

I laugh at you, bucky.

Does the name “Dustin Dirt” ring a bell?

I guess anonymous e-mail can be a bad thing after all…

Tesla4D:

24-10-2007 17:54:40 UTC

Amnistar:
You posted quite a list of names. I notice you suspect Clucky, Rodney, and myself because we have hairy backs, yet you leave out Zaratustra and yourself. I find this action suspicious, to say the least.

Also, you claim that you got the information from a source you think knows who to trust… The Night Watchman, perhaps? Or a werewolf?

Amnistar: he/him

24-10-2007 18:00:40 UTC

Well, the list of names I posted was posted before the hairy backs were posted.  I merely added onto my list the back status of those who were already there.  As for myself, well, of course I leave myslef off.  Regardless of if I am a werewolf or if I am a villager, I would not be likely to put my own head on the chopping block simply for constancy.  The list came from a source that I trust, and I can tell you, with certainty, that I am not the night watchman.

I suspect Aaronwinborn (source)
I suspect Bucky (source) (email strangeness)
I suspect Clucky (source) (hairy back) (Strange antagonizing attitude towards Bucky in his email post)
I suspect Darknight (source)
I suspect Igthorn (source)

hey, i just remembered we have a jail. lock him up instead, and see if the killings stop

Brendan: he/him

24-10-2007 23:20:05 UTC

Hey, as long as everyone’s subscribed to this thing, can I ask the other half of you to PLEASE go vote on “Night Mayor” and help clear the queue?  It would already have passed if Bucky hadn’t changed his vote to deliberately clog it (unnecessary now, as this particular lynch mob is moot).
