One by one, the lodgers of the Roxey Inn wake up, and make their way to the restaurant for breakfast. However, by midafternoon, they realize that someone is missing from their numbers. A few of the more concerned patrons head down to Rafzakael's room to check up on him. As they round the corner, they see the door ajar, and rush in to find a thoroughly disturbing scene. The room looks as if it were hit by a tornado. Items are strewn about randomly, and the covers are halfway torn from the bed. Most awful, however, is that Raf's body is lying on the matress, the phone cable wrapped tighly around his neck. One of the party bolts into the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before vomiting, while another gingerly picks up a scrap of paper dropped on the dead man's chest. He glances at it, then rushes out of the room and back to the restaurant. With the whole group assembled again, the man slams the paper down on a table, and tells the other customers about Rafzakel. The paper bears only a single sentence: Only the nosy ones have to die. Very quickly, the room erupts into a commotion. Some people scream, some cry, and others start throwing accusations as loudly as they can. The owner fights to get them under control. Once order is at least somewhat restored, it is quickly decided that the group must ferret out the sadistic scum who commited the crime. It will be days before the police show up, unfortunately, and therefore a more... primitive trial system is agreed upon. After all, it may be their only hope for survival. It is now DAY ONE. RAFZAKAEL was killed overnight. Rafzakael was a TOWNIE With 17 alive, 9 votes are needed to lynch. Day One will end 12:00 AM, Friday November 28. Edited by Rafzakael, Nov 22 2008, 09:34 PM.

After barfing in the bathroom, Harumf, a gay dandy in town for a week of winter sports during the day and some snuggling with hot locals at night, noticed out of the corner of his eye, a smile creeping accross the face of one of the others in the room. He decided to keep that to himself, but he made a mental note. |

Huesca couldn't help but smile. There was a very funny episode of Family Guy he had watched that night, and kept thinking over and over about it. Course, this wasn't the best place for it. Some idiot had gotten themselves killed. Best to keep a straight face. He glanced around, and noticed someone looking really guilty. Maybe it was them? |

Flumes was shocked, too surprised to react to the startling news with anything other then a blank stare. :o :unsure: Flumes looked around, looking at all of his fellow Inn stayers... One was a murderer, but who? He knew he must search for the answer, or he could be next. |

"What the hell am I doing here, I hate snow!" Menhad thought quietly to himself. But he managed to keep a straight face as he looked around the room. Menhad sat in the corning, drinking Jack Daniels. "It might be a little early for drinking, but after this morning..." He thought while taking a sip. He came to Harumf, who the night before had tried to get Menhad into his room, and figured "Not him... Unless it was rough sex." He looked at Huesca, "Nah, he looks like a loser who stays up at night and watches family guy." Then he stared at Flumes, "This guy is hiding something, but what I don't know, he has a look that looks like he is afraid some one will find his stash of weed." He continued his visual sweep of the room. Menhad Votes No One Edited by Menhad, Nov 22 2008, 11:01 PM.

If we assume there are more townies than mafiates, a random lynch will most probably result in the death of a townie. We have no viable information on who may be mafiate. Right now, I will vote for no one. |

The "no one" votes are votes not to hold a lynch at all today, right? Here is the problem with that strategy: If we do not lynch someone today, the mafia is essentially getting a free kill. Tomorrow, one more person will be dead by mafia kill, and we will have no voting patterns to use as evidence for analysis. A "no one" vote seems like an attempt to quickly end the day without the town even trying to accomplish anything. That is scummy behavior, so I am going to cast my vote for the first "no one" voter.

I knew I shouldn't have voted first. The way I see it is one dead townie is better than two dead townies, which odds are will occur if we shoot blindly. I don't want to sentence any innocents to death, unlike our good friend RD, and thus refuse to vote for anyone. I am not advocating to waste a day, as you put it, but to keep the death toll of innocents down to the minimal number. Edited by Union, Nov 22 2008, 11:28 PM.

"Good God," Bill muttered as he looked upon the dead body. He looks at Jack, that shifty southern punk who had been mocking his supposed Yankee accent earlier yesterday. He wasn't willing to assign blame with so little knowledge, but he'd keep an eye on that one. |

The thing is, town stalling helps the mafia. Or to put that differently, time is always on their side. They can win by attrition even if we do nothing. If we lynch someone we have at least a chance of getting a mafioso. On the other hand, I full well realize that we are more likely to get an innocent than a mafioso, speaking statistically. However, that assumes that lynches are truely statistically random. I would submit that they are not. That is because a random vote is not necessarily going to read to a random lynch. By holding people to the fire, we can develop an ongoing discussion that will allow us to get some clues for analysis. Furthermore, it is worth remembering that the numerical advantage is the main advantage the town has against the scum. If we do lynch an innocent, we suddenly have valuable information on voting patterns for the next game. Finally, I will point out a fallacy in your post:
I do not desire to see innocent dead. My desire is to see all the guilty hanged and all the innocents alive. But that does look like an attempt to off-handedly implicate me. edit: I'm having a difficult time formulating my posts in RP fashion. Edited by Rhadamanthus, Nov 22 2008, 11:37 PM.

Draxis of course had too much to drink the night before, his hangover was nagging a bit at his senses, but he didn't have much time to think about that right now as Raf had wound up dead the night before. And the idea of a murderer loose monopolized the talk of everyone, especially with it being days before anyone would arrive. Draxis noted the one smiling stupidly to himself and the other one blankly staring at everyone, he found that one kind of creepy. Everyone was becoming paranoid in trying to find the murderer... excluding the one smiling stupidly to himself. Either he was a bit simple in the head, or up to something. Vote: No One due to lack of evidence pointing to one person or another. |

So, in your eyes, it would have been better if I had picked someone at random as said 'them'? Or would you have found it equally scummy that someone voted first? |

If you had picked someone randomly, I wouldn't have taken that as scummy. I had expected that someone would start off with a random vote. That said, my "suspicion" is not only aimed at you, but at the others who voted for no lynch as well. I picked you only because yours was the first of those votes I saw. Rules question: Am I allowed to reference tactics stuff from the last game to explain my rationale? |

I will add to that: during the first night, we will receive a lot of information. First, we will know who has been killed and what role he had; second, townies with investigative roles will be obtaining information. Right now, we are statistically killing an innocent. So instead of the mafia getting a free kill, they will get two. EDIT: I may be right about what I wrote, but RD is right on at least one thing:
RD's stubbornness to see someone dead is really suspicious. I will change my vote for him. Unvote: No one Vote: RD Edited by Paradise, Nov 23 2008, 12:01 AM.

I am not stubborn to "see someone dead." I am stubborn to actually have a conversation before we all vote for no lynch and end the day. In fact, I'd rather see you vote for me so we can at least see some discussion and not give up our main weapon against the mafia. I'm not concerned about being voted against at this point, because we are early in the game and should have a strong numerical advantage (I'm assuming that the mafia-to-town ration is roughly the same as last game), so my loss won't be a big one. That said, I'd rather we have the discussion, see what we can learn, and make an informed decision, than simply give up our lynch and end the day because we don't think we have any information. If you guys want to have a "no lynch" after we have at least talked things over, I wouldn't find that necessarily scummy, but going for "no lynch" from the start is frankly, very suspicious. Trying to end the day quickly is scummy behavior. Trying to nullify the town's main weapon is also scummy behavior. So I think I am as justified as I can be keeping my vote on Huesca. |

I won't change my vote, as that too, is scummy behavior. I will continue voting for "No One" until I have any evidence to the contrary, as I do not desire to be blamed for the death of an innocent townie. The only thing I can and will say is this: If you vote to lynch me, you are only helping the mafia by giving them two kills instead of a single one. Edited by Union, Nov 23 2008, 12:23 AM.

Tristan da Cunha was a Portuguese man, and a raver. Typical Eurotrash. He saw the gay dandy New Harumf and Romanus Diogenes and instantly felt he could trust those two. As if they were part of a mafia with him in a previous life. When Romanus Diogenes voted to lynch Huesca, Tristan did not hesitate to voice his support. "Kill the bastard!" He said in his European-accented English. Vote: Huesca |

Al Qalaa turned green watched the accusations get thrown back and forth heedlessly. Raf was not yet in the ground, but the trial had begun. He just wished this had never happened. How did he even end up in the middle of Godforsaken, Colorado, population He didn't want to take part in this. The lynch mob quickly forming would solve nothing. He was a Quaker. A pacifist. "Gentlemen and Allesandra, why do we have to take this into our own hands? Can't we just wait for the police to get here and fix this?" VOTE: No One. Edited by A.Q., Nov 23 2008, 12:31 AM.

(I had planned to RP as being semi-in-character before it was discussed here. But hey, glad to see other people doing it! :P ) **** Nag watched as the finger pointing began, high up on the mountain and snowed in meant they were trapped with the killer and help most certainly would not be coming. "First things first," He began, covering Raf's dead body with the bedsheet. "We should all sit down and think about this before doing anything hasty. We should move Raf's body out onto the back porch - the cold will help preserve the body and I for one would rather not have to spend the next week or so with a foul stench coming from this room. "Secondly, good sir," He said turning to the Quaker, "I said 'the next week or so' for a reason. We're snowed in. I've been tending bar here for six years, believe me when I say that there's no way help is going to get here any time soon. Meaning we're trapped with whoever did this. Now it's important that we try to keep a level head in all of this... but I don't want to be trapped in here with a killer - or killers. That and food supplies are going to be tight. We're going to make it, but not unless we get to the bottom of who's behind these attacks. "Now, vigilante justice at this stage is much more likely to kill an innocent than to bag the killer. But if you people want to run a mock then I'm not going to stand in your way. You want to kill a man because he smiled, then be my guest." Nag pauses for effect, making sure he had everyone's attention. "I, however, have a better plan. Now one of the advantages of tending bar is that when people drink, they talk. Now I know for a fact that one of you lot is a PI and another one is a doctor. Problem is that I drink as well... and I can't for the life of me remember who's who. I suggest that we don't kill anyone tonight and let the PI do his investigating. 'Course, there's a problem with that. If the killers know that there's a PI about, then that PI will definitely be their next victim. That's where the doctor comes in - because the doc can use their medical skills to protect the PI once we know who it is. "So how do we know who the PI is? What I suggest is that everyone state out here in public what role you think I play in all this. The real PI will then investigate me during the night and the doctor will protect me from the killers. Tomorrow I'll reveal who was right about me - chances are that'll be the real PI and maybe one or two lucky guesses. "You want to hang someone before then, go right ahead." |

Draxis still suffering from a hangover thought, 'man, I REALLY, need to quite drinking if this is what my vacation is going to look like.' "Well, given the amount I drink, and all your opportunities to slip something in them, I would have to say that given your little speech, you are probably not the killer unless you are saving poisoning us all for later. So I advise everyone not to drink out of his purple colored cool-aid... as this is not jonestown and as far as we know not a cult gathering. Unless I am the odd man out here. So I would venture to say that given right now that you are probably what you say you are, or a doctor, or doctor in training trying to pay his uni bills, given your ability to logically explain why we should store the body outside. And while that does not seem to respect the dead, it would only be logical, considering that well, supposedly someone staying with us killed him." Draxis paused. "Could, could I get a drink? Its supposed to be the fastest way to get rid of a hangover, and it might help me pass time before someone in our little group goes all 'The Shining' on the rest of us." |
