• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

ASB Mafia: Day X

Another morning means another day of trial and, if they guess wrong again, danger for the dwindling population of innocents in ASB Central. When they arrive at their usual point of assemblage, they find that this morning it is Keta who has gone missing, fate unknown--but suspected. Once more search parties split up to canvas the city, and once more the Mafia do not disappoint, quite cheerfully providing another body for the surviving trainers to mutter and shake their heads over. This time, the crime was particularly disturbing; Keta's limbs had been removed entirely and rearranged to make a giant "M," with her torso forming a sort of grisly exclamation point. Whether this indicated that the Mafia were getting bolder still about leaving their calling-cards or simply that they were particularly depraved Mario fans, no one could be sure. The only thing certain was this: once again, they would have to do their best to expose the mafia in their midst, lest they join Keta and the long string of unfortunates before her.

Keta is dead. She was not Mafia.

Forty-eight hours for discussion and nomination.
 
...Grisly.

Okay, anyone else feel relativly hopeless about this? I mean, every clue we try to chase just ends up taking us down a dead end, if you'll pardon the pun.
 
List of people currently alive:


Catch-22
Grass King
MurrMurr
Walker
Prettzel
Full Metal Cookies
Chiropter
Bobino
Involuntary Twitch
Animorph
Capitain Jay
Ruieko
NWT

Of these there are still two mafia left, still active in the game likely, as Negrek isn't randomizing night actions. So a reasonable list of suspects is more like:

Grass King
MurrMurr
Walker
Prettzel
Full Metal Cookies
Chiropter
Involuntary Twitch
Animorph

I personally don't see much of a pattern to the killings. Why take out Keta, who has not done much throughout the game, and leave people like Chiropter alive? This leaves two possibilities in my mind: A) Kusarir is new to this game, and hasn't been thinking about who it is killing, just choosing someone from a list. Or B) it could be an elaborate trap designed to place suspicion on Chiropter. Personally, I believe it to be the former, as the number of active players who are new to the game is higher than the ones you would expect to put such a trap in place.

With that, I nominate MurrMurr. Just a stab in the dark, sorry.
 
Given the state of this (and my surprise of making it this far), I have no defense other than the stereotypical "I'm not mafia!" plea that no one will listen to in the end.

Put it this way: Whether I'm mafia, good, *Kratos, or *MD someone will still die tomorrow!

...Walker, what makes you think that newbies to the forum would not be experienced in this game? It's swept several forums, and feigning newbieness is a time honored tradition.
 
I didn't say new to the forums, I said new to the game. I would not consider Grass King to be a 'newbie', however I believe this is his first game of mafia on this board. I am aware that mafia is extended to several boards. I don't know if MurrMurr frequents any of these forums or has joined any of these games frequently, so I'm just going off of the data at hand (or rather, in memory, since the old games have been erased).

Bear in mind, that option B is still plausible, and the more I think of it, the less I'm beginning to think of MurrMurr as the culprit.
 
In the end, discussion produces as few leads as usual. In the end, MurrMurr is nominated, and aside from a bit of muttering and shuffling of feet from people who don't want to meet each other's eyes. As the sun sinks, MurrMurr realizes too late just what is going on. Wait, what--no other nominations? But that means...

By this point, MurrMurr realizes it's already been shoved to the front of the--now much smaller crowd--by the subtle action of other people stepping back and jostling away. There's nowhere to hide, and running isn't likely to get it anywhere: alone and exposed, MurrMurr is all too aware that the executioner is waiting.

In the end, there is no escape. At last a couple more impatient members work up the irritation to grab MurrMurr's arms and drag him up to the platform at the center of the square, and despite his struggles, the deed is swiftly done.

MurrMurr isn't the only one stunned this day. As the skorupi costume he was wearing melts away, a surprising truth is revealed--it would appear that the innocents have had their first success of the game.

MurrMurr is dead. He was Mafia.

Forty-eight hours for night actions.
