Cops and Robber

One (very small) town. It's small, it's secluded, and no one can hear you scream. Despite being home to a mere five inhabitants, the (very small) town still has its share of problems. In particular, there's one very large problem in the form of...

One mafia scum. He's as dirty as they come and he's ready to kill off everyone in his way. Of course, as there's only five people left in his way it should be pretty easy to do, right? Wrong. Because what should stand in his way but...

Four cops. They represent all that is good and proper in the world. It's just a shame that they can't even be sure of their own sanity. Every night they'll investigate each other, but will they be able to prevail over the mafia? And will they be able to work together with...

One other guy. He's not really sure what's going on, to be perfectly honest. He managed to stumble into an apparent turf war between some cops and a bad sort of fellow, and he wants none of it. He just wishes everyone would get along.

The Rules

1. Win conditions are standard fare.
   • The lone mafia will win if he is alive and all the cops are dead.
   • The cops will win if they successfully lynch the lone mafia.
2. The length of phases in this game is not set in stone.
   • The day phase will last until a majority vote has been reached. Post in the thread and lynch people during this phase.
   • The night phase will last until all night actions have been submitted. Gather information or kill people during this phase.
3. A vote for "No Lynch" will be counted as such. If "No Lynch" gets the majority of votes, there will be no lynch for that day.
4. If a player goes for 72 consecutive hours without posting, they will be removed from the game.
5. [highlight]Don't be a jerk.[/highlight] Don't talk to dead people if you're alive. Don't talk to living people if you're dead. Don't post PMs in the game. In short, don't break the game in any way shape or form.
6. Dead players get one post after they've been killed. You can not use this post to violate any other rules of the game. You're still dead, so don't pass on any information.
7. If you have any questions, please PM the host. That's what he's there for.

Our Brave Boys In Blue

Sane Cop: He's a fine citizen indeed. Your run of the mill investigator, the Sane Cop often feels like the only rational person in his (very small) town. Every night he must send in the name of a still living player to the host. The host will then tell the Cop whether that player is Innocent or Guilty. The Sane Cop is the only cop of the bunch who will always be given the true alignment of the player he checks out. His investigative skills are truly a sight to behold.

Paranoid Cop: They're all out to get him! The Paranoid Cop is certain that the universe is really just messing with him and that everyone else in his (very small) town is truly a mafia scumbag. Every night he must send in the name of a still living player to the host. The host will then tell the Cop whether that player is Innocent or Guilty. The Paranoid Cop will always see the worst in people and will invariably be told that his target is Guilty. His investigative skills lack foresight and any measure of common sense.

Naïve Cop: He's the sort of person to find the good in anyone. His (very) small town upbringing leads him to automatically trust everyone he meets. Of course, when it comes to rooting out mafia, this particular trait does nothing but get in the way. Every night he must send in the name of a still living player to the host. The host will then tell the Cop whether that player is Innocent or Guilty. The Naïve Cop will always see the best in people and will invariably be told that his target is Innocent. His investigative skills leave much do be desired, largely because he doesn't really have any.

Insane Cop: He's not quite on the level. Growing up in this (very small) town has led to some fairly bizarre personality traits that would take a trained psychologist years to work out. Sadly, the pressing mafia situation means there's no time to deal with all of that, so he'll just have to make do with what he's got. Every night he must send in the name of a still living player to the host. The host will then tell the Cop whether that player is Innocent or Guilty. The Insane Cop uses some fairly strange techniques to do this and will always be told the opposite of a player's true alignment. His investigative skills are without peer, and the world is a better place because of it.

A Nefarious Criminal

Mafia Scum: He's the center of attention around these parts, and he hopes to keep it that way. The Mafia Scum scouted out and infiltrated the (very small) town in hopes of taking out its primarily police based population and he's darn close to achieving his goal. Every night he must send in the name of a still living player to the host. That player will be found dead the following morning. His skills in the art of subterfuge and assassination are unparalleled in the seedy underworld of Mafia.


That One Guy: He wishes nothing more than for people to get along and for this whole catastrophe to be over. He's not particularly arsed about whether the Cops or the Mafia Scum eventually come out on top, so long as he can live to see the end. Every night he must do nothing but sit at home and cower, praying no harm comes to him. His skills in regards to all things cowardly and non committal are to be feared and envied. Or not.

Moderator Notes-

- All of my posts will be/should be in light blue throughout the game.
- "No Lynch"/"No kill" is an acceptable vote. If "No kill" wins, no one will get killed that day.
- In my book, you technically aren't a winner if you die, no matter what. :P

Yay! 1st poster! :cheer

Good morning everyone. Are we ready?

Oh, I'm ready. Or will be in a few hours when I've caught up on some sleep anyways. :yawn Lol! I'll see you all in the morning. Nighty night!

Hi everyone! Its good to see you all again! :D

Woohoo! Here we go again. :)

Round 2 begins!

The question is, did we learn anything from the first round?

Don't trust anyone. *Looks around all paranoid* Also, the no vote for the first round was a good idea. I have a feeling I'll be the first to die no matter what. Hehe.

Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers. Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live...forever.

*Kneels down and waits*

Simply put:

Vote: No Kill

I have no better ideas.

Hey hey hey. So we have that option to vote no kill but lets see what everyone else thinks.

Alrighty then. Let's go over what we know. At this point we know...nothing. :blink:

So for now, I think I'm just gonna...

Vote: No Kill

At least until I can come up with a better idea.

I think No Kill for the first day is a good choice, unless someone has a strong suspicion to vote for someone.

Vote: No Kill

Trickie, to answer your question, at least some of the players have to be able to trust each other. The only way to single out the robber is by having the cops work together. Obviously, though, everyone is going to be more careful this round about who to trust.

Oh wow, so No kill huh? I know i wasn't a big fan of that vote last game and look where that got me.

So why not go with the flow right?
Vote: No Kill

So what you're saying Yoda is we need to trust a little more and talk a little more?

I might as well vote no kill before I leave for the moutains this weekend. I need to let Syriani know because I won't be on til Tuesday so if I don't talk at all that's why and if I die, it's okay. You're not loosing a cop at least.

EBWOP:

woops. forgot to vote. I'm not feeling so great at the moment. I ate at Lyndon's with my mom and drank some bad OJ. It tasted like I was drinking dish water guess from the cup and now I feel really sick right now. Hopefully I'll feel better later on.

vote= No Kill

Be careful. Stokes trusted the wrong person last time. I think the best way to settle this is... whoever is the robber raise your hand. *Looks around* No? Well... fine.

Well, we have the majority at No Vote, so I think my vote would be fairly useless at this time. I'd probably vote for a no kill this round, too. Truth be told, last game the only reason I pushed it was because I had too many people dead set on voting me off. Hehe. Too quick a game.

well Yoda's pushing it this time. *squints at her* hehe

I wish it were that easy. :lol:

Actually, Angel, it seems like we have more of a consensus going this time for No Kill. The only thing I'm pushing is more talking. :)

More talking? What should we talk about??

Since all the votes haven't been cast, i'm going to leave this open a bit longer. You can send me all of your night actions if you want, i'll probably close this tomorrow night, assuming it hasn't changed too much. And well, since Angel is gonna be gone, I can't really get it going well again until monday at soonest.

Vote: No Kill

There, I think we may have everyone, then. Sorry if I was holding it up.

And this Day is done. Send in your actions if you haven't, but I think you all have. I'll get to them tonight after work.

In the morning the town found Yoda dead in her house. Judging from the sheer amount of wacky things strewn around her living quarters, they concluded that she was the Insane Cop.

All right. I will get this rolling, just in case I die either today or at this night.

I am either the Sane or the Paranoid cop. If I'm Sane, Trickie is the Mafia. If I'm Paranoid, then anything I learn is of absolutely no use to us.

So...

Vote: Trickie

Wait what? Stokes I'm starting to feel that you have it in for me. I have yet to hear from the others, but you were being very forward about your position... or are you trying to throw us off with a false admission?

I think I will wait to see what the others have to say before I vote. *walks away sadly* Why Stokes?? ;)

I don't have it in for you, Trickie, but with such a small group, we have to strike hard and fast. I checked on you last night and you were returned as being guilty. Now, if I'm the sane cop, then that makes you the mafioso. If I'm paranoid, then this information is useless and I'm voting for you again needlessly, for which case, I'm sorry.

Wow...that's awfully forward of you, Stokes...Not only admitting you're a cop, but telling what you did during the night phase...

Hrm... I'm either Sane or Naive.... I want to see some arguments before I put my foot down on things.

Stokes was honest last game about who he was, but he could be using that to his advantage last game.

However, if he is a cop then trickie may very well be the mafia person. Unless, of course, Stokes is paranoid.

Everyone else is fairly silent and Yoda is dead. Yoda was the insane cop... we need to try to find out which cop is which, and with the way we don't trust each other we will end up killing the wrong person based on a soft conclusion.

I dunno... this was so much easier when I was the bad guy.

Insane's dead

Naive, Sane and Paranoid are still alive

The other guy is still alive.

I think I believe stokes and Denyaya when they are cops. I am not certain and don't want to vote Trickie off incase she was a cop and stokes was pulling one over on Demoness this time around. That sounds too easy to put together though. He does want his revenge after all. Still. Too easy to point out.

In the last game I'm not sure if the cops gave away their identity.

Either Lily or Trickie are my guess.

I already said I'm a townie so as long as the cops survive that's all I want.

Based on information that I've been given, this is what I think is the most likely scenario of our roles:

Remaining Cops:
Stokes - Paranoid (just for the sake of argument)
Lily - Sane (just for the sake of argument)
Demoness - Naive (fact)

That One Guy:
Angel

Mafia:
Trickie

Alright, I just reread all the posts from the beginning. Considering them as well as the info I've gathered I think I'm going to cast my vote now.

Vote: Trickie

I'm sorry if you're innocent. :(

You would kill me??? So early in the game too? Wow! haha I suppose someone has to go, but wow so much so quick. Personally I don't think Demoness is the robber this time, she wouldn't get it twice in a row would she?

if Demoness was the robber she wouldn't pull the same routine again. She probably would though. Stokes, how do you know for a fact demoness is the Naive cop? Just wondering how you figured out her role. You probably are the paranoid cop though. Finding out someone was guilty on the first night phase. It's too easy and quick. Everyone's guilty to that cop. Last time my info was true but is it true this time? If you were sane then it probably would have came back innocent.

EBWOP: Are there seven roles? We only have six players?

6 rolls... where did you get 7 from? And I don't pull a routine... I'm just always innocent. In my eyes, anyway.

And you know for a fact I'm Naive, Stokes? We had one investigation... I checked myself out and I don't even know what I am...

I'll toss my vote onto trickie for now... but if it's wrong and I don't die at night... I'm going to put in my vote for you, Stokesy...

I love you trickie...

Vote: trickie

I am...crestfallen...I just don't get the power of persuasion Stokes has. Aww Denya (spelled wrong right?) but if you love me, a fellow lover of Grr (also spelled wrong I'm sure) Why would you have me put to death?

Last time the results of my investigation turned out to be true but I wasn't trusting enough to share that info and that got me killed. Sooo, I have to go with my "gut" and place my vote.

vote Lily_Kat_89


So sorry if you are innocent hun.

Now you make me feel bad! :-(

I'm just gonna cast my vote out there

vote=Stokes

sorry if you actually are the paranoid cop
