Rules (stolen from Jobie, who stole them from Puzzle)
1) Bold your votes and unvotes please, this makes it easier for me. They should look like this : Vote Xyre. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted.
2) Unvote before casting a new vote. Failure to unvote may result in the vote not being counted. If it's not too much trouble, please say Unvote Xyre rather than just Unvote. 3) You may Vote No Lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death.
Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. If a majority has not been reached by the deadline, the day will end with no lynch.
4) Do not communicate at night or day unless your role PM says otherwise.
5) Do not quote PM's or I will have to modkill you. Be careful with paraphrasing. When in doubt, ask me.
6) Do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupid a mistake you made. This may get you modkilled.
7) Once you're dead, you may have a single "bah" post. By "bah" post, I mean "screw you scum go town" not "guyz Xyre's scum just saying". This will not make me happy.
8) If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Else, you may be prodded or replaced.
9) If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. We will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made. You will receive a reminder one day before the deadline if you haven’t submitted your choice. Night will not end before the deadline to give the mafia time to talk.
10) If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count, please bold you request so that we can see it more clearly.
11) I want this game to keep moving so I expect everyone to post at least once every two to three days and if you don't, you may be replaced or modkilled WITHOUT WARNING, whatever your side.
12) Lastly and most importantly, respect me and the rest of the players, and remember, it's just a game.
MOD NOTE: Most of the references in this game are decidedly American ones. Wiki is your friend.

Xyre's house is a wreck now. Nobody wants to buy it, nobody wants to visit it. Occasionally a group of rowdy kids would dare each other to go inside. Invariably, nobody saw them again. People say it was haunted by ghosts. The truth, as it always seems to be, is worse.
I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. Charles Palanick. I'm a real estate agent. Haunted houses are a real estate agent's dream. Nobody wants to claim them, for rather obvious reasons, so often they're picked up cheap after estates are closed. The rumors are natural, of course, with old houses. Fortunately, people move here all the time, and the housing market is so closed, anyone will buy the house for top dollar. It's a great market, especially with people too lazy to check newspapers to learn who was murdered in their houses. But I digress...
The old man in the corner took another sip from his beer and paused, looking for the right word. The bar's small population had turned its attention onto him for the moment. It was less a validation of what he had to say and more a digression from their meager lives. The man sighed, stared away for a moment, then returned.
It's a beautiful mansion... elegant stairways, numerous bedrooms, an olympic swimming pool. The works. But, as they say, blood always tarnishes elegance.
He laughed, almost menacingly. The Telltale Heart wasn't a horror story, we say in the business, but rather a foolish buyer.
Thump thump. He laughed again. The bar was dead silent.
I remember it clearly. It was Xyre's birthday. While many people eventually give up on celebrating their birthdays, Xyre wanted to make up for lost time. Whether he was nostalgic or simply lonely, nobody knew. But I do know - from secondhand, mind you - excuse me, thirdhand - experience that Xyre was getting on in years. Rumor had it he was ready to give away his money. Last rites, you know.
Everyone knew he was rich. And money can attract the most... unfortunate of characters. After all, businessmen always have their enemies, but rumor was that Xyre had cut a few deals too shady, and the Greenwood Mafia wasn't pleased about the ways he had gone about his business. Many people were just waiting for him to die. Perhaps he was counting on it.
What I do know, however, from newspapers, is that several of the invitees mysteriously died days before the party. Their invitations were gone.
The old man paused again. But hey, what do I know? I'm a real estate agent.
All I know is that, after that party, nobody went anywhere that house. Xyre was gone. The people at that party were gone - either dead, or in Monaco, for all I know, playing blackjack at a hundred a hand. And the world, as is its nature, moved on.
And as for the house, well... the place decayed. People visited, at first - people wanted to know what happened that night - but eventually, they were gone too. Everything... everyone was gone, save for the house. And as it sat there, unwanted, the legend only grew; after all, everyone loves a good ghost story.
I've only been there once - had to get the rights to sell it. What I saw there... man, if I had ethics and morals and worthless junk like that, I'd have backed out right there. The place was a wreck - broken furniture, smashed windows... and the blood, covered by fresh paint, was still visible, a red blotch that wanted to tell its own story, as I am telling you mine. On the walls, on the ceilings, and in deep pools on the floors.
But hey, what do I know? The man took another drink. The bar at this point was entirely focused on him, hanging on the words.
But the worst part was, when the lights went off, the place was silent as the grave. Except, you could hear it... radiating from the walls. A sound to drive men mad. Like the pulse of a long-dead but unforgotten heart.
Thump. Thump. The man started laughing maniacally, until he finally silenced himself with a long drink from his beer. He then turned back to his audience, and smiled the smile of a narrator who knows the twist around the bend.
The material of a good ghost story, indeed.
Welcome, my friends, to my home. Make yourselves comfortable, and feel free to have some of the food over there and enjoy the evening's entertainment, before retiring to your rooms for the night.
It is now Night 0. This will be a no-kill night. Actions are due by 3:30 PM MST , Friday the 26th.
You all wander downstairs, some a bit worse for the wear than others, but all expecting a continuation of the festivities from last night. Well, not all of you, but, as they say, naivete is the best friend of the fool.
When you get down, you discover a wonderful looking brunch in front of you in the elaborate kitchen, but no host. Some of you figure he's probably nursing a hangover, as some of you are, but the staff is insistent that they saw him downstairs. So, like the idiots you are, you decide to split up and search the expansive house.
Cyan and Sutherlands are halfway through "inspecting" the wine cellar when they hear a piercing shout coming from across the house. They, like everyone else, hide the open wine bottles and head straight towards the sound. Rafaelk is standing dumbstruck, his face pale as a ghost, with a look of sheer terror. You all turn to see what he's looking at.
Xyre is lying in the middle of the room, a large ballroom filled with elaborate decorations. A wide pool of blood spreads out from his head, like a crimson halo, and you can see, through the knot of hair and clotting blood, two gunshots in his skull. You all shudder. This was certainly not in the invitation.
Next to his body, and fortunately protected from the spread of blood, one of you finds a note. Its message, however, is anything but clear.
"When I go forwards, you go backwards
Somewhere, we will meet."
Scratching your heads and averting your eyes from the grim scene, you all wander away, but you can't help but wonder... who did it?
Apparently, the party was going to last a bit longer than expected.
Good News: Xyre's dead! Hurrah! Thought it is fairly sketchy that his account is still posting in this thread. Maybe we can lynch the mod? Vote Xyre
Bad News: If that's what i think it is Rahl, I'm going to be very very annoyed.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
The partygoers, after a wonderful meal, work their way to the conference room to begin their investigation into who killed Xyre, or as some would like to call him, "the mod".
The butler wanders into the room and clears his throat. "I'm very sorry about what has happened recently. Ruined quite a nice party. Unfortunately, the weather's gotten worse, so we won't be able to leave for at least a few days now. As long as we have the time, then, you may as well help find some of these bastards who killed Mr. Xyre."
He pulls a remote out of his pocket and presses a few buttons. A gigantic plasma monitor descends from the ceiling. "Your decision will be tracked on this screen that we've provided for you in lieu of a person to take care of it himself."
"Oh, and one more thing." He presses three more buttons on the remote, and Billium Tate, StormBlind, and loran16 disappear from the room in a puff of smoke. "That's what you get for being wiseguys." And with that strange statement, he leaves the room, and you begin debate in earnest.
A few minutes later, the three of them return, covered in filth. "Where have you been?" carrion pigeons asks them.
Loran removes a banana peel from his lapel. "The sewer running under the house."
In the meantime, the computer monitor has begun reporting results. Unfortunately, they're not very enlightening.

Just once, I'll get through a game without someone random voting. Okay..so maybe not. Curse you Arimnaes, just the same.
Xyre's reaction to Loran, Stormblind, and Billum's 'clever' votes is humorous indeed. I'm glad to see that we can't vote the Mod in this game..that was a fiasco last time.
The door to the conference room slowly swings open. A faint, lonely scream from the hinges announces that HAWKEYE7 has found his way down to joint the discussion . Judging from the bend downward of his head and the shadows under his eyes, he is paying penance, as usual, for his actions the night before.
He walks with an uneven gate over to the Butler.
“Hey, Jarvis, or whatever you’re name is, what’s the chance of a guy getting the lights turned down a bit, and a glassful of the wolfhound that bit me?” “Make it gin, Bombay Sapphire if you got it. No ice.”
These last few sentences were delivered simultaneously with a deft, practiced hand slipping a $20.00 bill into the lapel pocket of the nameless butler.
SNIFF, cough, gag….
Turning, HAWEYE7 surveys the gathering and settles his bloodshot eyes on Billium Tate, StormBlind, and loran16. He makes his way over to an inviting looking high-backed leather chair on the other side of the room from the trio of players and the large wall with the only windows in the room. “You three got something against bathing or clean cloths?”
Bad News: If that's what i think it is Rahl, I'm going to be very very annoyed.
“Who are you calling Rahl, Loran? Is there someone around here who goes by another name or are you just talking to ghosts?”

The butler nods at Hawkeye. "Right away sir." He presses another button on the remote. The room dims a bit, creating a wonderful atmosphere in the otherwise stark room.
He leaves for a moment and returns with the drink. "Oh, and no need to tip me, sir. Mr. Xyre pays me well, even in death.
"Also, Master Loran, if you would be so kind, we have many wonderful bathing rooms in this home, so if you would please not expose yourself to the other patrons." He smiles and returns to the edge of the room, waiting for other requests.

Stormblind used to be the mtgs poster (and mafia player) "Lord Rahl". I speak to him on aim, and as such still call him Rahl, rather than Stormblind out of habit.

Kraj shuffles in with a beat-up canvas sack slung over his shoulder, and plops it down in from of D_Y_H. "If you're looking for a Loran to kill, this one's on it's last leg anyway. Knock yourself out." D_Y_H opens the sack and finds a LORAN transmitter. Kraj winks at Loran. "Shame I missed your little show earlier."
He loungingly plops onto a sofa and requests a bottle of wine.

@Billium: have you played mafia on here, other sites, or is this your first game? just that I haven't seen you in any of the games I've read.
Normally, I'd agree with you about the fishing, but when someone deliberately puts up a hint that blatant, it needs to be resolved. If BT is in fact the doc, he's already as much as admitted it, and it needs to be publicly aired (not necessarily admitted). There's a good chance that the town has some way of preventing BT from dying, if only temporarily, and it would be a shame to miss a chance of stopping the kill due to a random townie missing the hint.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'

Okay, but now that you've said this, we can agree it doesn't need any further airing, right? Especially not from Billium himself.
Billium, please do not comment on this incident in any way in your future posts. In fact, don't so much as acknowledge it. Anything further that you say on this subject can only serve to give scums greater insight into whether or not your name and role have been correctly inferred.

That's kind of funny, because my goal was precisely the opposite. I specifically said that so that the mafia and the SK would each have a reason to hope the other would target him, saving themselves the trouble. Which, you know, is a valid concern for nightkiling groups.
I'm curious how you could interpret that as doing anything but showing the mafia/SK the risk of putting each other at cross-purposes if they target him?

The waiter notices Billium Tate and hands him a bottle of Vicodin. "Just don't say you got it from me." He smiles a smile that proceeds to freak Billium Tate out even more, who retreats to a chair and hides under it.
Unfortunately for Kraj, this is a conference room, not a lounge, so the couch he assumed was there was, to his immediate surprise, not. He subsequently uttered a word that ought not be reproduced here.
The waiter walked up to where he was no nursing his sore rear, dragging what appears to be a loveseat. "It's the best we have, sir. Now, as for your drink, what kind of wine would you like?"
As Kraj decides, he turns and presses a button on his remote. Niv disappears, like the others had. He returns after a moment. "Did you know there are crocodiles in that sewer?!" His clothes are strangely in tatters.
"We know who you meant, but please, for our sake, just post the person's name next time," the butler responded.

On the one hand, it seems like people are a little overly jumpy about this Niv thing. On the other hand, jumping on something small is pretty much how day 1 gets started and honestly Niv's explanation isn't the greatest. However, Carrion Pigeons' reaction bothers me more.

I'm curious how you could interpret that as doing anything but showing the mafia/SK the risk of putting each other at cross-purposes if they target him?
My interpretation was that if you're scum of one type, you're saying to the other type "Don't worry, I've got this one. Use your kill on somebody else."
"A man can well afford to be as bold as brass, my good fellow, when he gets gold in exchange!"
I interpreted CP's statement in exactly the same fashion as Arimnaes. What's more, I don't really see how CP could expect anyone to interpret it any other way. And even so, by his own statement, he is apparently just giving a head's up to the various scum killing groups. I'm not sure how that is supposed to be a better explanation. The whole thing seems like a huge scum error on CP's part. Vote CP
My interpretation was that if you're scum of one type, you're saying to the other type "Don't worry, I've got this one. Use your kill on somebody else."
So, maybe I'm missing something. You think it's suspicious because my comment is interpreted as warning a killer off the doc?
I'm pretty sure that's the only reasonable way to interpret it, and it's the way I intended it, and the way you think it was intended, right? So explain to me how encouraging people not to kill the likely doc can be interpreted as anti-town behavior.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.

That would presumably be the intended effect if you were town.
If you're mafia or SK, the intended effect would be to avoid wasting a kill by letting the other party know that they don't have to use their kill on Billium.
Which I suppose makes this more of a non-tell on reflection, since I can see your motivation for making such a remark as any alignment.
Yeah, I don't think CP was (or would [WIFOM]) warning a kill off. If anything, you would want the other group to make it so you could kill whoever. There's other specifics I could go into about the psychology of killing, but I won't, since there's no point to it.
Niv's question was stupid, but I see him making that mistake more as a townie that just talks than as a mafia that's trying to make certain of a claim, so no vote there.

Hey, you! Yeah, you behind the computer screen! You're unconstitutional.
I'm going to disagree there. Not that I necessarily think Niv's play was well-thought out, but I think for the most part, it works to the town's benefit. BT's remark was stupid, unless he's deliberately trying to draw attention from a night killer (in which case, I'm kind of wrecking your plan, BT. Sorry!)
I tend to think that Niv probably just said, "Oh, I bet that's a role hint. I feel awesome that I caught it and must now share it with the town!" If he thought about it any more, a scum Niv would never have offered the information to the town for no reason, while a town Niv might have felt the need to make sure that such an obvious hint was acknowledged, in order to allow the town maximum potential to prevent a disaster.
So maybe shave off a tenth of a townie point in Niv's favor, I think. I believe that if he had any in-game reason to post what he did beyond just trying to be cool, it is not likely to be scum-aligned.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.

Billium stares quizzically at niv. Who the F*** is greg he wonders as the pills start to work their magic. Oxycontin's more his thing, but he needed what he could get. He starts to contemplate about how niv waited to mention this greg guy in his third statement since Billium's, with many posters in between. That CP guy's acting awfully funny what with all his talk about all the punks killing the same guy and doctors. H***, if there was a doctor at the party, do you think he would've let xyre die. Vote CP. Turning to niv, Billium says 'hey fishy, can you get back in your ocean and leave a poor man alone.' Fos Niv. Finally, Billium's eyes light up as he spots CM. 'Having fun warning off your partner there master?' Fos CM Now rising to face the whole group, 'Questioning my attendence here? Don't ask why I'm at this party. I don't quite know myself. All I know is that this is one lame party. Now the folks at wizards and my local friends, THEY know how to have a party. I was having a blast at newbie 15 too, but those scum put an end to that too.'
Oh my...well I seem to be late. I do hope that you will consider it to be fashionably late...yes, that is what I am. I was wrought with some trivial collegiate examinations that required an around the clock vigilance on my part.
At any rate, I hope that everyone won't mind too terribly if I submit my own unorthodox ballot a bit later than it is normally acceptable, as I had no opportunity prior, and should very much like to identify with my friends through this ritual.

My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
Billium stares quizzically at niv. Who the F*** is greg he wonders as the pills start to work their magic. Oxycontin's more his thing, but he needed what he could get. He starts to contemplate about how niv waited to mention this greg guy in his third statement since Billium's, with many posters in between. That CP guy's acting awfully funny what with all his talk about all the punks killing the same guy and doctors. H***, if there was a doctor at the party, do you think he would've let xyre die. Vote CP. Turning to niv, Billium says 'hey fishy, can you get back in your ocean and leave a poor man alone.' Fos Niv. Finally, Billium's eyes light up as he spots CM. 'Having fun warning off your partner there master?' Fos CM Now rising to face the whole group, 'Questioning my attendence here? Don't ask why I'm at this party. I don't quite know myself. All I know is that this is one lame party. Now the folks at wizards and my local friends, THEY know how to have a party. I was having a blast at newbie 15 too, but those scum put an end to that too.'
Billium, if it's possible, could you please stop roleplaying?
In Fact, i have to agree with sutherlands. Unvote, Vote Billium. The spreading of suspicion along with the reference to being town in Newb 15 is just scummy as all hell.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.

...right. from this I want to assume the following:
-This is BT's second game on MTGS
-BT has played mafia IRL and on another forum, likely gleemax.
-BT is barning Hawkeye's RP style, or just has a PR (I find this unlikely)
BT, can you say anything about this?

1) Bold your votes and unvotes please, this makes it easier for me. They should look like this : Vote Xyre. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted.
2) Unvote before casting a new vote. Failure to unvote may result in the vote not being counted. If it's not too much trouble, please say Unvote Xyre rather than just Unvote.
3) You may Vote No Lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death.
Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. If a majority has not been reached by the deadline, the day will end with no lynch.
4) Do not communicate at night or day unless your role PM says otherwise.
5) Do not quote PM's or I will have to modkill you. Be careful with paraphrasing. When in doubt, ask me.
6) Do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupid a mistake you made. This may get you modkilled.
7) Once you're dead, you may have a single "bah" post. By "bah" post, I mean "screw you scum go town" not "guyz Xyre's scum just saying". This will not make me happy.
8) If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Else, you may be prodded or replaced.
9) If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. We will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made. You will receive a reminder one day before the deadline if you haven’t submitted your choice. Night will not end before the deadline to give the mafia time to talk.
10) If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count, please bold you request so that we can see it more clearly.
11) I want this game to keep moving so I expect everyone to post at least once every two to three days and if you don't, you may be replaced or modkilled WITHOUT WARNING, whatever your side.
12) Lastly and most importantly, respect me and the rest of the players, and remember, it's just a game.

I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. Charles Palanick. I'm a real estate agent. Haunted houses are a real estate agent's dream. Nobody wants to claim them, for rather obvious reasons, so often they're picked up cheap after estates are closed. The rumors are natural, of course, with old houses. Fortunately, people move here all the time, and the housing market is so closed, anyone will buy the house for top dollar. It's a great market, especially with people too lazy to check newspapers to learn who was murdered in their houses. But I digress...
The old man in the corner took another sip from his beer and paused, looking for the right word. The bar's small population had turned its attention onto him for the moment. It was less a validation of what he had to say and more a digression from their meager lives. The man sighed, stared away for a moment, then returned.
It's a beautiful mansion... elegant stairways, numerous bedrooms, an olympic swimming pool. The works. But, as they say, blood always tarnishes elegance.
He laughed, almost menacingly. The Telltale Heart wasn't a horror story, we say in the business, but rather a foolish buyer.
Thump thump. He laughed again. The bar was dead silent.
I remember it clearly. It was Xyre's birthday. While many people eventually give up on celebrating their birthdays, Xyre wanted to make up for lost time. Whether he was nostalgic or simply lonely, nobody knew. But I do know - from secondhand, mind you - excuse me, thirdhand - experience that Xyre was getting on in years. Rumor had it he was ready to give away his money. Last rites, you know.
Everyone knew he was rich. And money can attract the most... unfortunate of characters. After all, businessmen always have their enemies, but rumor was that Xyre had cut a few deals too shady, and the Greenwood Mafia wasn't pleased about the ways he had gone about his business. Many people were just waiting for him to die. Perhaps he was counting on it.
What I do know, however, from newspapers, is that several of the invitees mysteriously died days before the party. Their invitations were gone.
The old man paused again. But hey, what do I know? I'm a real estate agent.
All I know is that, after that party, nobody went anywhere that house. Xyre was gone. The people at that party were gone - either dead, or in Monaco, for all I know, playing blackjack at a hundred a hand. And the world, as is its nature, moved on.
And as for the house, well... the place decayed. People visited, at first - people wanted to know what happened that night - but eventually, they were gone too. Everything... everyone was gone, save for the house. And as it sat there, unwanted, the legend only grew; after all, everyone loves a good ghost story.
I've only been there once - had to get the rights to sell it. What I saw there... man, if I had ethics and morals and worthless junk like that, I'd have backed out right there. The place was a wreck - broken furniture, smashed windows... and the blood, covered by fresh paint, was still visible, a red blotch that wanted to tell its own story, as I am telling you mine. On the walls, on the ceilings, and in deep pools on the floors.
But hey, what do I know? The man took another drink. The bar at this point was entirely focused on him, hanging on the words.
But the worst part was, when the lights went off, the place was silent as the grave. Except, you could hear it... radiating from the walls. A sound to drive men mad. Like the pulse of a long-dead but unforgotten heart.
Thump. Thump. The man started laughing maniacally, until he finally silenced himself with a long drink from his beer. He then turned back to his audience, and smiled the smile of a narrator who knows the twist around the bend.
The material of a good ghost story, indeed.
Welcome, my friends, to my home. Make yourselves comfortable, and feel free to have some of the food over there and enjoy the evening's entertainment, before retiring to your rooms for the night.
It is now Night 0. This will be a no-kill night. Actions are due by 3:30 PM MST , Friday the 26th.

When you get down, you discover a wonderful looking brunch in front of you in the elaborate kitchen, but no host. Some of you figure he's probably nursing a hangover, as some of you are, but the staff is insistent that they saw him downstairs. So, like the idiots you are, you decide to split up and search the expansive house.
Cyan and Sutherlands are halfway through "inspecting" the wine cellar when they hear a piercing shout coming from across the house. They, like everyone else, hide the open wine bottles and head straight towards the sound. Rafaelk is standing dumbstruck, his face pale as a ghost, with a look of sheer terror. You all turn to see what he's looking at.
Xyre is lying in the middle of the room, a large ballroom filled with elaborate decorations. A wide pool of blood spreads out from his head, like a crimson halo, and you can see, through the knot of hair and clotting blood, two gunshots in his skull. You all shudder. This was certainly not in the invitation.
Next to his body, and fortunately protected from the spread of blood, one of you finds a note. Its message, however, is anything but clear.
"When I go forwards, you go backwards
Somewhere, we will meet."
Scratching your heads and averting your eyes from the grim scene, you all wander away, but you can't help but wonder... who did it?
Apparently, the party was going to last a bit longer than expected.
Day 1 has begun. You may now post.

The butler wanders into the room and clears his throat. "I'm very sorry about what has happened recently. Ruined quite a nice party. Unfortunately, the weather's gotten worse, so we won't be able to leave for at least a few days now. As long as we have the time, then, you may as well help find some of these bastards who killed Mr. Xyre."
He pulls a remote out of his pocket and presses a few buttons. A gigantic plasma monitor descends from the ceiling. "Your decision will be tracked on this screen that we've provided for you in lieu of a person to take care of it himself."
"Oh, and one more thing." He presses three more buttons on the remote, and Billium Tate, StormBlind, and loran16 disappear from the room in a puff of smoke. "That's what you get for being wiseguys." And with that strange statement, he leaves the room, and you begin debate in earnest.
A few minutes later, the three of them return, covered in filth. "Where have you been?" carrion pigeons asks them.
Loran removes a banana peel from his lapel. "The sewer running under the house."
In the meantime, the computer monitor has begun reporting results. Unfortunately, they're not very enlightening.

I was going to make a "butler did it" joke and all, but we've seen where that ends up, eh?
In the meantime, vote Cyan.
Just once, I'll get through a game without someone random voting. Okay..so maybe not. Curse you Arimnaes, just the same.
Xyre's reaction to Loran, Stormblind, and Billum's 'clever' votes is humorous indeed. I'm glad to see that we can't vote the Mod in this game..that was a fiasco last time.
He walks with an uneven gate over to the Butler.
“Hey, Jarvis, or whatever you’re name is, what’s the chance of a guy getting the lights turned down a bit, and a glassful of the wolfhound that bit me?” “Make it gin, Bombay Sapphire if you got it. No ice.”
These last few sentences were delivered simultaneously with a deft, practiced hand slipping a $20.00 bill into the lapel pocket of the nameless butler.
SNIFF, cough, gag….
Turning, HAWEYE7 surveys the gathering and settles his bloodshot eyes on Billium Tate, StormBlind, and loran16. He makes his way over to an inviting looking high-backed leather chair on the other side of the room from the trio of players and the large wall with the only windows in the room. “You three got something against bathing or clean cloths?”
“Who are you calling Rahl, Loran? Is there someone around here who goes by another name or are you just talking to ghosts?”

He leaves for a moment and returns with the drink. "Oh, and no need to tip me, sir. Mr. Xyre pays me well, even in death.
"Also, Master Loran, if you would be so kind, we have many wonderful bathing rooms in this home, so if you would please not expose yourself to the other patrons." He smiles and returns to the edge of the room, waiting for other requests.

Hey, congratulations for offering to be the first nightkill. BTW, I second the request to know your experience.
Normally, I'd agree with you about the fishing, but when someone deliberately puts up a hint that blatant, it needs to be resolved. If BT is in fact the doc, he's already as much as admitted it, and it needs to be publicly aired (not necessarily admitted). There's a good chance that the town has some way of preventing BT from dying, if only temporarily, and it would be a shame to miss a chance of stopping the kill due to a random townie missing the hint.

Getting defensive this early on.
Billium, please do not comment on this incident in any way in your future posts. In fact, don't so much as acknowledge it. Anything further that you say on this subject can only serve to give scums greater insight into whether or not your name and role have been correctly inferred.
One other thing. This:
Looks an awful lot like coordination to me, if you're mafia trying to give the SK a hint or vice versa.
That's kind of funny, because my goal was precisely the opposite. I specifically said that so that the mafia and the SK would each have a reason to hope the other would target him, saving themselves the trouble. Which, you know, is a valid concern for nightkiling groups.
I'm curious how you could interpret that as doing anything but showing the mafia/SK the risk of putting each other at cross-purposes if they target him?

Unfortunately for Kraj, this is a conference room, not a lounge, so the couch he assumed was there was, to his immediate surprise, not. He subsequently uttered a word that ought not be reproduced here.
The waiter walked up to where he was no nursing his sore rear, dragging what appears to be a loveseat. "It's the best we have, sir. Now, as for your drink, what kind of wine would you like?"
As Kraj decides, he turns and presses a button on his remote. Niv disappears, like the others had. He returns after a moment. "Did you know there are crocodiles in that sewer?!" His clothes are strangely in tatters.
"We know who you meant, but please, for our sake, just post the person's name next time," the butler responded.

Not that it's a big deal but for the record I have a vote on WoD.
My pleasure.
On the one hand, it seems like people are a little overly jumpy about this Niv thing. On the other hand, jumping on something small is pretty much how day 1 gets started and honestly Niv's explanation isn't the greatest. However, Carrion Pigeons' reaction bothers me more. Unvote WoD, Vote: Carrion Pigeons
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
I interpreted CP's statement in exactly the same fashion as Arimnaes. What's more, I don't really see how CP could expect anyone to interpret it any other way. And even so, by his own statement, he is apparently just giving a head's up to the various scum killing groups. I'm not sure how that is supposed to be a better explanation. The whole thing seems like a huge scum error on CP's part. Vote CP
So, maybe I'm missing something. You think it's suspicious because my comment is interpreted as warning a killer off the doc?
I'm pretty sure that's the only reasonable way to interpret it, and it's the way I intended it, and the way you think it was intended, right? So explain to me how encouraging people not to kill the likely doc can be interpreted as anti-town behavior.

If you're mafia or SK, the intended effect would be to avoid wasting a kill by letting the other party know that they don't have to use their kill on Billium.
Which I suppose makes this more of a non-tell on reflection, since I can see your motivation for making such a remark as any alignment.
Niv's question was stupid, but I see him making that mistake more as a townie that just talks than as a mafia that's trying to make certain of a claim, so no vote there.
Hey, you! Yeah, you behind the computer screen! You're unconstitutional.

I tend to think that Niv probably just said, "Oh, I bet that's a role hint. I feel awesome that I caught it and must now share it with the town!" If he thought about it any more, a scum Niv would never have offered the information to the town for no reason, while a town Niv might have felt the need to make sure that such an obvious hint was acknowledged, in order to allow the town maximum potential to prevent a disaster.
So maybe shave off a tenth of a townie point in Niv's favor, I think. I believe that if he had any in-game reason to post what he did beyond just trying to be cool, it is not likely to be scum-aligned.

Billium stares quizzically at niv. Who the F*** is greg he wonders as the pills start to work their magic. Oxycontin's more his thing, but he needed what he could get. He starts to contemplate about how niv waited to mention this greg guy in his third statement since Billium's, with many posters in between. That CP guy's acting awfully funny what with all his talk about all the punks killing the same guy and doctors. H***, if there was a doctor at the party, do you think he would've let xyre die.
