Fables - War and Pieces

1) A full writeup of the rules can be found here: http://www.mafiascum.net/
This game will be more complicated than what's described there, as nearly everyone has some sort of 'special thing' about them. Doesn't mean everyone has a night power, but you never know...

2) When you vote, please do so by saying Vote: [Player] in bold. If you wish to change your vote, please say Change Vote: [Player] instead.

3) You may NOT send a PM to anyone about this game unless your role explicitly says you can. This is cheating.

4) Do NOT edit your posts in this thread. This is cheating.

5) Please do not copy-and-paste anything from any PM I send you to the thread. This is also cheating.

Night 0
(Note: just because a character appears in this write up does not mean they are in fact in this game.)

The Woodland Office:
Tensions were building. This was for certain. Strange events have been taking place. Not just every-day strange, like a talking badger or a girl whose hair won’t stop growing, no, strange even for this place. The mayor sat in his office, a troubled look on his face as he turned to his deputy. She looked back at him in silence. Both of them troubled by what was happening.
There was a third figure in the room. The man, a sheriff, was leaning against the wall, also silent. Finally, one of them spoke; “This is war.”

The 13th Floor:
How she was feeling, you would never know. She played her emotions like she played her information; revealing only what she needed, when she needed. The outside observer would have just assumed it was an old woman knitting away into the night, but anyone who knew anything knew better. Even in her silence, even in her knitting, bigger things were happening around her, and she knew she would be in the center of it all.

The Homelands:
He carefully examined the wooden head he held in his hand. While these days, he mostly let others do the work, he liked to take the time to do some things himself. Being in charge didn’t mean he had come to dismiss the simpler pleasures in life. But even though he worked hard on his project, his mind was continuously on the war ahead. He had enemies, and he would crush them.

Later:
The black haired woman awoke. She sat upright in her bed when a familiar voice came to her. There, at the foot of her bed, and a familiar face. But that is all it was. A face, or more specifically, a head on a stick.
“Colin” she whispered, but the dismembered pig cut her off.
“It is time” he said. “It is time.”
The black haired woman awoke again.

Magnito is dead. He was Colin, the first of the Three Little Pigs, and a warning of what is to come.

Let's get it on!

[DarqFeonix]

Been looking forward to this one... Don't think another mod could do this game justice.

[Silver Lantern]

Checking in! Now I just gotta read this thing. How many books is it?

[Magnito]

Been looking forward to this one... Don't think another mod could do this game justice.
Thanks. That's quite the compliment. :)

[hail_eris]

Checking in! Now I just gotta read this thing. How many books is it?
Trades are up to volume 14 (15 releases next month), plus a novel, a standalone graphic novel, and the whole Jack of Fables mythos. No better time to start, though!

[Wade Wilson]

I got to be good!

[EmperorNorton]

Very much looking forward to this game.

[deadshot042]

Checking in. Now I have to go to Intermediate Microeconomics.

[batfink]

I wonder if the mention of Colin means a 2nd Farm oriented Mafia.

[JRS4]

New games. Looks like fun. But honestly I don't know the source material at all.

I need to find a good spot to read up on it.

[pbdeberry]

Very excited for this one.

[deadshot042]

I need to find a good spot to read up on it.

Pick up the first couple of volumes and set aside a few hours to read them. You won't regret it.

[michiganj24]

I'm up to 7 with 9-10 on the way to me. Magnito has gotten me hooked

[Rokk_Krinn]

Well, at the very least, you probably know the nursery rhymes and faerie tales on which Fables originates. :)

Just...modernize them (and realize Boy Blue is the -coolest-.)

But did your nose grow from that comment, Wade?

Lynch Darq :devious: Mine wasn't that bad, it just ended really quickly.

Fixed it, it seems to not have come off as jokingly as I intended.

I sure hope so! It's a bit small :(

Hello all, this should be fun indeed, seeing as I have no knowledge of the source at all.

I agree.

Day 1

Preparations are being made on both sides. War was upon them. One readied their weapons, the other rallied their troops. This was clearly the calm before the storm. And a storm was brewing and could break at any moment.

Night 1 starts now. You have 24 actions

[Magnito]

Night 1

It was late, and they should have been in bed. They flew through the air and enjoyed the cool breeze, completely unaware of the danger that surrounded them. They flew above the farm and saw a crowd gathering around them. A large crowd. Something had happened. They considered for a moment going down to investigate, but knew if they flew lower, they may be spotted and forced to go to bed. So they flew on, leaving the crowd behind. As they flew off, they heard a gunshot.

The farm was alive with madness as they were trying to all figures out where the shooter was. Luckily, the bullet seemed to have missed its target as no one was hurt. But the whole farm was thrown into chaos for the rest of the evening.
_______________________________

A weasely man was angry. Not only had he completely failed his mission for the night, but his target actually laughed in his face. Laughed at what he was trying to do. The man was humiliated and wanted, more than ever, to get revenge, but there was nothing he could do. His target was so far out of his league, it wasn’t even funny.
______________________________

From her room, she could see everything. Not by looking through her window. She didn’t need her window to see the world outside. She had other ways of observing who she thought needed to be observed. But tonight, the man she was watching didn’t seem to be doing anything at all. This didn’t stop her from watching him though.
______________________________

The sun was rising and the mayor sat in the woodland office, head in his hands. Why did he ever want ti be mayor. He wanted money, power and luxury. He wanted to be high in the social ranking. He didn’t want this.
He only lifted his head when he heard the click of a gun.
“You”, he said, “I thought you were dead!”
“It is not me that is important. It is what I represent” replied the gun-toting fable.
“And what is that?” asked the Prince.
“An overhaul of the system”.
BANG

hail_eris is dead. He was Prince Charming (Fabletown). Charming by name and Charming by nature.

1 player is silenced and cannot post.

Immortal_Raven is replacing Aegon

20 active players, 11 is a majority

[deadshot042]

Damn! I really like Charming.

It looks like there were three attempted kills, but only two went through. Who is the weasly man? Nothing comes to mind immediately.

[batfink]

The Weasely man could be Jack.

Who did Charming think was Dead? Rose???
But I'm not sure Rose would be a killer.

[deadshot042]

The killer was probably Goldilocks. The "overhaul of the system" is a dead giveaway and she never returned to the main series after her "death".

[The Darkstone]

Darn.

Hate to see Charming go already.

[St-Dumas]

The killer definately sound like Goldilocks (gun, thought dead, overhaul of the system). The people floating in the first part sound like the Cubs. Woman who sees everything could Totenkinder or maybe Baba Yaga. Weasly man sounds like Jack but could be someone else.

Also, I'm not silenced.

[batfink]

Thats Right!
I forgot she came back in Jack's book.

The killer was probably Goldilocks. The "overhaul of the system" is a dead giveaway and she never returned to the main series after her "death".

[Rokk_Krinn]

So I would also expect Bluebeard in the Mafia as well unless Goldi is an SK.

[Immortal_Raven]

I see that Wikipedia is not helping me much on this. Time to order from the library. Are there any websites that provide plot synopses?

[deadshot042]

I expect the mafia would be composed of Gepetto and his minions (i.e. Baba Yaga, Hansel, Gnome King, etc...).

With the focus on the war between Fabletown and the Homelands, I don't even know if Blue Beard would be here.

[MSU]

Agree with deadshot on that....

I think this is a "war" overarching, not a Farm vs. Fabletown sorta mafia.

[normalview]

I am 99% sure this is Darq Feonix.

And since he seems to be out for revenge, I am thinking he's up to no good.

VOTE: DarqFeonix

[Immortal_Raven]

VOTE: DarqFeonix

Well, it's a pressure start, and I do so love to vote for Darq. Though I think I've forgotten exactly why.

Vote:Darq

[deadshot042]

I am 99% sure this is Darq Feonix.

I don't want to reveal too much, but do you know who Darq targeted last night? I think that information could confirm or deny if he is the weasly man.

[DarqFeonix]

Yeah, pretty sure that's me. Don't know what the big deal is. :noid:

[Wade Wilson]

Thanks for the little monkey help last night :)

[Jackofhearts2005]

I wonder if the mention of Colin means a 2nd Farm oriented Mafia.

I'm thinking no but its possible. Goldilocks as a serial killer is another possibility.

So I would also expect Bluebeard in the Mafia as well unless Goldi is an SK.

They're possible partners but I'm saying this having not read Jack of Fables.

I'd tend to think of Bluebeard as a townie traitor to Haven or already dead if he's not part of a sking duo with Goldy.

[Jackofhearts2005]

But if Goldilocks is mafia, she'd be mafia with the bears, Khan and the other two pigs, not with Bluebeard. She wasn't friends with Bluebeard until later.

[deadshot042]

Yeah, pretty sure that's me. Don't know what the big deal is. :noid:

Are you saying that you targeted me or that you're the weasly man?

[Silver Lantern]

Thanks for the little monkey help last night :)

You are welcome bud. :)

[DarqFeonix]

Are you saying that you targeted me or that you're the weasly man?

Yes :a-sharpshooter:

[deadshot042]

Yes :a-sharpshooter:

After re-reading the writeup it doesn't appear you were trying to harm me, so I'll let you pass for now. Hahahaha...

[Jackofhearts2005]

For anybody who hasn't read these stories, JoH to the rescue.


The Woodland Office: This is the main city fables' office.
Tensions were building. This was for certain. Strange events have been taking place. Not just every-day strange, like a talking badger or a girl whose hair won’t stop growing, no, strange even for this place. The mayor sat in his office, a troubled look on his face as he turned to his deputy. She looked back at him in silence. Both of them troubled by what was happening.
There was a third figure in the room. The man, a sheriff, was leaning against the wall, also silent. Finally, one of them spoke; “This is war.”

This would be Prince Charming (Mayor), Beauty (deputy) and the Beast (sheriff)

The 13th Floor: This is where the good guy magicians hang out
How she was feeling, you would never know. She played her emotions like she played her information; revealing only what she needed, when she needed. The outside observer would have just assumed it was an old woman knitting away into the night, but anyone who knew anything knew better. Even in her silence, even in her knitting, bigger things were happening around her, and she knew she would be in the center of it all.

This is Frau Tokender, the black forest witch aka every generic witch in fables. She's a good guy, a very mysterious and powerful one.

The Homelands: This is where the fables come from. It's currently under control of the adversary, the big bad guy.
He carefully examined the wooden head he held in his hand. While these days, he mostly let others do the work, he liked to take the time to do some things himself. Being in charge didn’t mean he had come to dismiss the simpler pleasures in life. But even though he worked hard on his project, his mind was continuously on the war ahead. He had enemies, and he would crush them.

This is Ghepetto planning to kill all the good guys oh noes.

Later:
The black haired woman awoke. She sat upright in her bed when a familiar voice came to her. There, at the foot of her bed, and a familiar face. But that is all it was. A face, or more specifically, a head on a stick.
“Colin” she whispered, but the dismembered pig cut her off.
“It is time” he said. “It is time.”
The black haired woman awoke again.

The black haired woman is Snow White, one of the main characters. Colin the pig died near the beginning of the series and his ghost severed head sometimes appears to warn Snow of things.


Night 1

It was late, and they should have been in bed. They flew through the air and enjoyed the cool breeze, completely unaware of the danger that surrounded them. They flew above the farm and saw a crowd gathering around them. A large crowd. Something had happened. They considered for a moment going down to investigate, but knew if they flew lower, they may be spotted and forced to go to bed. So they flew on, leaving the crowd behind. As they flew off, they heard a gunshot.

This would be the cubs. They can turn into wolves and fly. I'd say this might be the crow brothers if not for the "forced to go to bed" line.

The farm was alive with madness as they were trying to all figures out where the shooter was. Luckily, the bullet seemed to have missed its target as no one was hurt. But the whole farm was thrown into chaos for the rest of the evening.

Failed nk from the looks of it. Probably aimed at one of the animal fables since this is happening on the farm, where almost all fables that can't pass as humans have to live.

Another of Jack's schemes failed it seems but there are other possible weasely men.

Frau Tokender? She's the only Fable I can think of who can see things remotely.

This is pretty clearly Goldilocks killing Prince Charming.

[Rokk_Krinn]

But if Goldilocks is mafia, she'd be mafia with the bears, Khan and the other two pigs, not with Bluebeard. She wasn't friends with Bluebeard until later.

True, but I wasn't sure how much Mags is blending timelines here.

[Jackofhearts2005]

True, but I wasn't sure how much Mags is blending timelines here.

I just don't see Bluebeard on a farm revolution mafia since he actively tried to stop the farm revolution.

[EmperorNorton]

Frau Tokender

Hey, you expert, her name is Totenkinder, which I'll refrain from translating, but it's not a nice name. (Which, as it happens, strongly calls into question her status as "good guy", but going by the storyline she should be on the town's side here.)

[michiganj24]

Well she wasnt but in the war agaisnt the Adversary good and bad unite. I mean look at Big Bad Wolf
East Granny, Tries to Eat Goldy and the Three Pigs but is one of the most staunch town people out there

[Jackofhearts2005]

Yeah, she's a former bad guy. I wouldn't worry too much about her since at least at this point in the story (I'm about 25 behind when it comes to the whole series), she's clearly town.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Through in spin-offs and the novel and you'll have enough to keep you busy a little bit longer. :)

[normalview]

I don't want to reveal too much, but do you know who Darq targeted last night? I think that information could confirm or deny if he is the weasly man.

I'd rather not answer that at this point.




Judging by the lack of votes, I am assuming that everyone is okay with a weasly looking man out for revenge? Especially since it seemed like he tried to do something to somone and that something failed?

Perhaps someone who is more familiar with the source material can clue me in as to why we aren't a little more concerned?

[Silver Lantern]

Darq you want to character claim for us?

[DarqFeonix]

Darq you want to character claim for us?

Not really. :cross-eye

[Silver Lantern]

Not really. :cross-eye

Then I am not cool with a "weasly looking man out for revenge..."

Vote: Darq

JoH/Rokk, whom could he be?

[MSU]

I think I have figured it out actually...and JoH has also explained it.

Worst off, he's neutral. He isn't a SKer though...

[batfink]

If DQ is neutral & harmless, then why not role claim?
Vote DQ

[DarqFeonix]

Maybe because I don't find a write-up copping and two votes plausible pressure to out myself?

[Rokk_Krinn]

Then I am not cool with a "weasly looking man out for revenge..."

Vote: Darq

JoH/Rokk, whom could he be?

Well, if he's a weasley looking man then he's not a member of the "Farm Mafia" (if that's where we think the Mafia is originating here).

He also wouldn't be Goldilocks, whom we're tending to think is the SK.

So, being he's neither of what are the likely main threats, I'm not sure why people are pushing so hard for his ID when it doesn't make sense to give out names willy-nilly and let the Mafia know who is and isn't present out of a vast cast.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Through in spin-offs and the novel and you'll have enough to keep you busy a little bit longer. :)

I bought vol 2 yesterday (but I've read up to like...volume 8?) and the clerk informed me that there's a new Cinderella mini.

Because the biggest weasel (someone who often fails and is laughed at when he does) in Fables is Jack. Jack will do what Jack will do. Jack will cause trouble but at the end of the day, Jack isn't out to hurt anybody.

So if Darq is Jack, I'm not that concerned.

Fair enough.

REMOVE VOTE

[Jackofhearts2005]

I could totally see Jack as a survivor, thief or some other type of neutral role, though.

He has a vested interest in keeping Fabletown around and he has feelings (at least according to the main series) for Rose Red, who would be town. However, he doesn't really do much to help so it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't town. I just don't see him being scum.

Jack will sometimes do stupid things that cause Fabletown grief but, end of the day, he's still on their side over, say, the Adversary

[DarqFeonix]

Nor should you be :)

But yes, Mr. Ofthetales at your service :m-boot:

[michiganj24]

Is the novel intergral or just a one off spin off (as up to where I have read I dotn even know who those 2 are)
Through in spin-offs and the novel and you'll have enough to keep you busy a little bit longer. :)

[Silver Lantern]

Remove vote then.

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

I don't see Jack as threat necessarily, so I'm fine with not lynching Darq right now.

[The BoyBlunder]

Yeah, Jack was mostly harmless. I don't even recall if he killed anyone in the main series, and didn't read the spin-off. At any rate, he never wished Fabletown ill, and was mostly out for himself.

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

That's how I see it. I highly doubt he's town, but I don't see him as unfriendly but a survivor of sorts, possible alternative win condition.

[michiganj24]

Make a million dollars
Or sleep with all the females fables here

It is rather interesting that Jack seemed to get more play than Prince Charming in the series. Though I guess it's in the genes.

You're damn right it is. Hey-yo!

[CarlosMucha]

Very interesting write up. and very well writed!

No info this time I fear.

[michiganj24]

Really?? I didnt think so . Now maybe in Jack's solo series but not in the main one they were about equal if anythingIt is rather interesting that Jack seemed to get more play than Prince Charming in the series. Though I guess it's in the genes.

[Magnito]

Thanks. :)

[CarlosMucha]

I expect the mafia would be composed of Gepetto and his minions (i.e. Baba Yaga, Hansel, Gnome King, etc...).

With the focus on the war between Fabletown and the Homelands, I don't even know if Blue Beard would be here.

Why Gepetto is bad here?

Never read this, any general idea about this Universe? like anybody I know the classic tales, what are the major differences or universe "rules" on this universe? :)

[Wade Wilson]

He is sort of like Fables Hitler...

[michiganj24]

Yeah he starst out a nice guy who wants to help and then it builds and builds till he decides only he can bring peace to the world ...at the cost of slavely for all

[The BoyBlunder]

He's even better than Hitler, or at least better at being Hitler than Hitler, because for years, no one even knew he was the one in control.

[Immortal_Raven]

reomve vote

Though I would love to get Darq out if he's not town, I'll trust the masses.

[Rokk_Krinn]

He's even better than Hitler, or at least better at being Hitler than Hitler, because for years, no one even knew he was the one in control.

Plus he's a lot more personable.

And Italian...so that makes him more like Mussolini. :)

Hitler. Hitler was a dancer. He could dance the pants off of Churchill.

Pinocchio escaped but still misses his dad.

I really should stop my imagination until I end reading sentences. I thought you was going to say he was missing his nose.

[deadshot042]

He's even better than Hitler, or at least better at being Hitler than Hitler, because for years, no one even knew he was the one in control.

He also has a far superior mustache. I really do wish I could grow facial hair like Geppetto.

None, really. By my count, there are several possibilties and they are as all as likely as the next at this point.

Meh. I'm glad Mags didn't spoil it for me but as early as March of the Wooden Soldiers, I figured it out.

Pinochio is like "My dad is being forced to make these soldiers!"

And I'm like "No, kid. Your dad is the Adversary."

[Magnito]

No majority was reached.

The town seemed to have stopped their plans of war. Could the death of Prince Charming have effected them this much? Enough to put a halt on the war? One thing was for sure, in a distant land, their enemies were stil conspiring. This lull may end up costing them dearly.

No majority was reached. Night 2 starts now

Night 2

“Give me the pen.”
“I don’t see why I should. I’m the bestest speller”
“Bestest isn’t a word”
“Is too”
“Just let me write”

Two blonde women, in two different areas, readied their weapons. They both set out in the night with two very different missions in mind.

The first, set her shot up carefully. She was patient, precise and had no trouble waiting in the shadows for her moment. Her target wasn’t hard to spot. She lined her shot up, slowly exhaled and then fired into the black of night. It would have been a killing blow, but things aren’t always as they appear. Although her aim was true, the night can sometime play tricks on you.

The second’s methods involved a lot less cloak and dagger. Her target was cowering in a corner.
“I... I.... don’t understand” said the oldest young boy that has ever walked the earth, “why are you doing this.”
“To send a message to your old man” replied the blond fable. “You see, Fabletown got their message. They government was corrupt and the mayor paid the price. But those back in the homelands are the root cause of it all. They need to know that this war is just starting, and we mean business.” As the bullet pierced the young boys skin, flesh became wood and he crumbled to the ground.

batfink is dead. He was Dr. Swineheart (Fabletown), best combat surgeon to ever live.

Wade Wilson is dead. He was Pinocchio (Neutral), boy caught in the middle of an epic war.

Due to the death of Pinocchio, a valued member to both sides, there will be no lynch today.

[Quebbster]

Hey all, glad to join you at last. Too bad about Pinocchio though.

What's with the letter?
Who would kill Dr. Swineheart by magic?
Does this confirm Goldilocks as serial killer?

Why is that creature hiding?

This could be the pups again, can't really think of anyone else that would talk like that. Not sure what the letter is. I could almost see them as a ghost writer, but I'm not sure if what Mags thinks of ghost writing and it totally wild speculation.

If the mafia is the Adversary then I would say this is Baba Yaga making the hit. If it's not her it would likely be one of the 13th floor fables like Totenkinder.

I think the first blond is Cinderella missing a hit, probably some kind of magical protection on her target. The second is obviously Goldie killing Wade.

I'm honestly not sure what's going on here to be completely honest.

Ugh, if so, probably that big hairball. Thanks a lot, Lassie :angry:

So for the second time, my action failed. I'm either rather unlucky or there's something about my role I can't see.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Ugh at losing Swineheart.

[michiganj24]

Speaking of Swinheart I have been trying to track down the original stories of all the character I meet as I read the books and cant find him. Anyone know his story

[DarqFeonix]

I think I remember reading on Wiki he was from some Grimm story about 3 brothers

[michiganj24]

Thanks that is a weird story and dont really fit with Swiney but I see that is the story
I think I remember reading on Wiki he was from some Grimm story about 3 brothers

[Magnito]

Close. He is from the story "The Three Army Surgeons". He is the one who cuts of his heart and replaces it with that of a pig. You know, swine-heart.

[Quebbster]

Ha! I suppose my guess was wrong on you, then :laugh:

Let me guess: Your guess was that I was Sleeping Beauty? :)

[EmperorNorton]

If the mafia is the Adversary then I would say this is Baba Yaga making the hit. If it's not her it would likely be one of the 13th floor fables like Totenkinder.

Emphasis mine.

If we assume Baba Yaga is in the mafia, could the target here be one of the knights who serve the old witch? Going by Wikipedia here as I don't remember it from the comics, but she is served by three knights called Bright Day, Radiant Sun and Dark Night.
Or is it more likely to just be flavour text?

[JRS4]

Hey guys sorry I missed the last day phase.
As I said beginning of last week I was at training all week.
Friday When I got out of training I went strait home (3.5 hours away) and spent the night with my family.
I wasn't going to jump on the computer right away.

[batfink]

Tell me about it. :cry:
Ugh at losing Swineheart.

[Immortal_Raven]

So dead doctor, no real evidence gathering today? Goodie. Still catching up on the premise, and I may actually try to read this when soccer season ends.

Well, without other leads, let's start looking at the low posters and see what shakes loose... I notice both pbdeberry and SkyKushryd have a whopping one post each.

So VOTE: pbdeberry.

Dear...


The cubs are also the only ones I can think of for this.


The man was arrogant, to say the least. But, I suppose with a reputation like his, arrogance was inevitable. He didn’t just believe himself to be the best. He knew he was the best. But all the talent, all the skill in the world couldn’t save him tonight. Not that there is really a good way to go, but when magic is involved, it always seems that much worse.

Looks like a magician got Swineheart. The snow queen (who would be allied with the adversary) is a possibility. I don't see Baba Yaga being in this game, simply because she was defeated far earlier in the series but she is a killer magician so I wouldn't completely rule it out. Could be friendly fire from one of the good guy mages, too.

I agree with Morph that the first blonde is probably Cinderella, who could definitely be the town vigilante (or any number of roles, really, but she looks like she's trying to make a nightkill).

The second blonde is definately Goldilocks. Targeting Pinocchio isn't terribly surprising, in hindsight, as he was probably able to win with the town or (assuming they are homelands bad guys) the mafia. So if Goldilocks is the serial killer (or in charge of a secondary mafia), it makes sense for her to take out the guy who can win with everybody but her.



A creature was wandering around, lost. His target was nowhere to be found. He tried to return home, but found it strangely deserted. He was lost and confused, so he hid. Hid for the night, hid for the day and hoped it would all be alright in the end.


Failed mafia hit is my first reaction but since it looks like the town vig is Cinderella, it means Swineheart was probably the mafia kill. There's a chance Cinderella or Frau is a jack of all trades and the other is the vig, explaining the two previous kill attempts and this is still a failed mafia attack.

Otherwise, I'm not sure on this one. There are lots of creatures in Fables, good and bad.




Out of curiosity, did anyone target me last night?

Not I.

Probably flavor text. The three knights were only around for a page or so, each. Boy Blue made short work of them. I doubt they merited inclusion in the game.

I think it's more Mags being like "her kill failed for some reason and I'm not gonna tell you who she was targeting so naaaaa. :p"

[Jackofhearts2005]

Well, without other leads, let's start looking at the low posters and see what shakes loose... I notice both pbdeberry and SkyKushryd have a whopping one post each.

So VOTE: pbdeberry.

I just replaced Pbdeberry in my game.

Not saying he isn't mafia. I'm just saying, he's not trying to lay low. He's just not around.

Sky having low posts is common.

I know Mags was looking for replacements so I wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to find someone to take over for one or both of them.

Which again, isn't to say they shouldn't be lynched (except for the whole not being able to lynch anyone today thing) but I'd just as soon see them replaced or vig killed. There's more info to be gained by pressuring someone who will respond and less chance of accidentally voting off a townie.

[Magnito]

Votes are useless. No lynch today, remember.

Hrmm... I must have missed the replacement announcement. This does change things a bit, though.

Hrmm... and, yeah, I forgot about the princesss effect from Pinocchio, too. Looks like I am going to have to go back and double-check all my notes 'cause who knows what else I missed and without knowing the source material my notes are all I have to go by in this game. Crap :(

REMOVE VOTE in case it matters.

Due to the death of Pinocchio, a valued member to both sides, there will be no lynch today.

Just to reiterate for those that want to lynch....

[Silver Lantern]

Damnit, lynch Pinnochio then! :p

[Immortal_Raven]

Yeah, kind of makes the day useless in my mind. Mafia won't claim under pressure. Cop won't present evidence and put a target on their back for tonight.(If they're smart)

So we can discuss, but there's not much to discuss.

I'm not sure I agree with that. If cop has a mafia, they should definitely come forward with that info so the vig can kill the mafioso tonight. If we're afraid of a mafia busdrive, then he should still out the scummer and not risk going to the grave with that info.

Agreed. Let's end the day phase.

Fabletown
The pieces were assembled, but without access to the sacred grove, it was no loose. They could make a wooden boy, but they could not bring him to life. They wept at the loss of such a valuable asset and friend.

Homelands
He mourned, but he was also furious. His son, while disobedient, was still his first son. Today he would mourn, tonight he would get revenge.

Night 3 starts now.

NOTE: I am going out of town. This phase will last until the weekend, when I return. Sorry.

[Magnito]

Night 3

The blonde was persistent. She so rarely failed in what she was trying to do that she didn’t exactly take failure well. She wasn’t exactly sure how her mission the previous night had failed, but she was determined to try again. This time, she was taking no chances. The weaponry was state-of-the-art. The best money and magic can buy (she’d pay for the latter later). Coupled with her general skill and know-how, no one could survive what was coming. Or at least, she thought. But other forces were at work. Forces that, despite her planning, she was not prepared for. Another night, another failure. She was not amused.
_______________________________

She wasn’t known for losing her cool. She was level-headed, even in a time of crisis. But sometimes, on long hard days, even the best of us can reach their breaking point.
“I’m counting to 10” she yelled. When she got to 9 and not gotten the response she wanted, her eyes narrowed just a little. Everyone around knew she was serious now and by 10, things were as they should be.

A heavily armed fable open fired at her target. The stream of ammunition would obliterate anyone or anything and would surely prove her point and be a large step towards her cause. But there was a flash of blue just before the trigger was pulled. She stopped firing. The target was gone.

The man looked down in complete and utter un-amusement.

The Darkstone is dead. He was The Beast (Fabletown), new sheriff on the beat.

You mean where I made a fool of myself by voting when there was no voting? ;)

Yeah, I can get behind that since we don't seem to have anything else right now VOTE: pbdeberry

[Jackofhearts2005]

Pbdeberry hasn't been online in two weeks. Mags posted in the "need a replacement" thread a week and a half ago (which I noticed when I posted there to replace Pbdeberry in my game) and hasn't received an answer to the best of my knowledge.

I'm okay with lynching him, especially because Mags can't seem to get a replacement right now (which just happens sometimes) I just want us to all be aware that voting for Pbdeberry will not result in him roleclaiming. The only way we're going to learn something about Pbdeberry is by lynching him.

My opinion on the matter is that when we don't have a better lead, we should lynch him. A totally inactive player only hurts the town and he could be mafia.

[EmperorNorton]

Okay, I'll hold my vote for now and see if anything better comes along.
But with the sheriff dead I doubt the flow of information is going to improve. Which is sad, because so far it has been nonexistent.

[DarqFeonix]

Very interesting.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I agree with Michigan's look at the writeup except I feel that it is the White Queen, not Baba Yaga that fails to kill the North Wind. He calls his attacker "a fleck of snow in the wind."

I'm similarly not sure where the curse was coming from. Perhaps a one shot mafia ability?

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

I'm not so sure that the person trying to kill the North Wind isn't the same female hitter we've before. It would make sense for the North wind would use snow as a reference to/against his power.

With the inclusion of Snow in what seems to be the cub's nightly appearance does anyone else think it could be a ghost writer or something of the sort? I'm not sure what else they could be from the appearances or from the comic. Possible misdirector I guess. I don't know, it's not terribly important, it just bugs me that I have no clue what they could honestly be.

I think it's a fair assumption that the scum might know who Cinderella is, as this is the second night she's been blocked. That or "she" just has really bad luck in targeting.

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

I'm not so sure that the person trying to kill the North Wind isn't the same female hitter we've before. It would make sense for the North wind would use snow as a reference to/against his power.

Yeah, I was definitely wondering about the cubs. I mean, I like them and I hope they're in the game but at the same time, they aren't doing anything and they aren't being snoopyish or dragging, either. They could be a ghost writer which means their appearances could just be a mafia power.

If the scum knew who Cinderella was, she'd be dead. Or they'd be misdirecting her into townies. I don't think she's being blocked, based on her appearances. I'm thinking she's targeted a bulletproof character (town or mafia) or she's targeting a scummer that's being doctored and her target is merely not being shown because Mags is against writeup copping.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Lynch Vote: St-Dumas just to get something going here. I believe he's pulling his "tell" of "silent Mafia".

[Silver Lantern]

Vote: St. Dumas

Rokky have you said who you are BTW (don't need you tell me, just wondering if you've character claimed).

[Rokk_Krinn]

Not yet, though I did imply something just this Day phase.

[deadshot042]

The cubs are in the game.

I trust Rokk.
Vote: St Dumas

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

@JoH, you're probably right about Cinderella. I don't have any reason to not trust rokk, so for now I'll lynch dumas. For now, for pressure.

[Rokk_Krinn]

(There's actually no reason -to- trust me, so that's kind-of weird. I'm just tired of us not -doing- anything and St. Dumas likes to stay quiet while Mafia.)

[Jackofhearts2005]

It's got little to do with trusting Rokk. What he says is true. Dumas is often quiet as mafia.

Now, if we had reason to distrust Rokk, we'd have reason to think anyone he accused was town or at least not the same alignment of scum Rokk is.

But since this isn't the case at this point, Vote: Dumas.

[deadshot042]

(There's actually no reason -to- trust me, so that's kind-of weird. I'm just tired of us not -doing- anything and St. Dumas likes to stay quiet while Mafia.)

I trust you as a player. You've played for a long time and play well. If you're mafia, you're very dangerous; but if you're town, I trust your gut and am willing to follow your lead until given a reason not to.

St-Dumas (7) - Rokk_Krinn, Silver Lantern, deadshot042, Morpheusdr3am3r, JackofHearts2005, DarqFeonix, EmperorNorton

Grinner (2) - Quebbster, normalview

10 is a majority

This is a 48 hour phase, since the first half of the phase was on a weekend.

[Quebbster]

No need to rush then. That is good.
remove vote

[normalview]

Plenty of time. REMOVE VOTE and see if Dumas (or heck, even Grinner) has anything to say.

[JRS4]

Man that write is crazy busy yet little happened.

Really sucks that the one action to succeed nailed our cop. Not Cool.

So looks like we are waiting for stdumass to come on and answer the pressure.

I'll check back in a while to see if we have anything else.

[Immortal_Raven]

Umm, not sure who to trust to be honest. Since I will have limited access the rest of the day:

leave vote with Quebbster

[EmperorNorton]

Why the #### is nothing happening here?
No discussion, no nothing. It makes me mad!

Grinner is replacing pbdeberry

Yes I am :grin:

Now to get caught up!

Vote St Dumas if we have nothing lets not waste the day completely

Who failed last night and whom did they target?
I was blocked.
Darq, normalview and Norton all claimed to fail, IIRC.

[normalview]

I was specifically told I failed... which was weird, because I frankly didn't expect to receive any kind of notification one way or the other. That fact combined with how many others failed makes me suspect something very hinky went down last night.

[Silver Lantern]

Maybe a JK or Lightning rod?

[CarlosMucha]

what, who what??

[DarqFeonix]

what, who what??

The fact this was the first post after 4 hours cracks me up.

FYI, to answer Silver's question, my target was Normal.

[michiganj24]

As was I...

[Rokk_Krinn]

Feeling better about lynching St. Dumas as I feel folks are using the extended Day phase to "hide out".

And at least one of the people who said he failed may very well be fibbing if my action succeeded.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Sigh.

Dumas was "online" this morning but hasn't posted in almost a week, which puts us back where we started.

[michiganj24]

Well the mod has not tired to replace him ...which means he either has not active action or he is mafia and they are sending them in So no big loss either way that I can see
Sigh.

[The BoyBlunder]

Sorry I haven't been on. I've been, and continue to be, quite sick. I don't really have anything to add, except that another possibility for Normal's "failed" message is that there is a notepasser who is screwing with him.

Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna be on much. Too congested to think.

[Grinner]

In light of the fact that pdiddy was replaced, I'm kinda suspicious of him too.

Lynch: St. Dumas

[Jackofhearts2005]

I suppose.

At any rate, the chances of Mags being able to replace him too are rather slim so my vote stays.

[Quebbster]

vote Dumas then.

[JRS4]

Well the mod has not tired to replace him ...which means he either has not active action or he is mafia and they are sending them in So no big loss either way that I can see

That may well be the issue. I pulled my vote after being reminded of the extended day with the hopes he would come on and give some form of defense. But it looks as if nothing more is going to be said.

So with that.

Vote: St. Dumas

[Magnito]

A majority has been reached.

The farm was in disarray. With the Sheriff dead, there was no one to real them in. The only one they may have listened to was strictly forbidden from entering the farm and thus, the chaos continues.
The woman in change was doing her best to keep everyone calm, but she could not do it alone. There was no hope for her to quell the growing insanity around her. The animals were stampeding and the red head was caught in the middle. Killed by her own forces.

St-Dumas is dead. He was Rose Red (Fabletown), a girl perpetually in her sister's shadow

Night 4 starts now

[Magnito]

In 24 hours, I received 4 actions. Out of 18 people, I got 4.

That may be the worst turn out I've ever seen in any of my mafia games. Ever.

[Magnito]

Night 4

He was built solid. He had to be. To be able to stand up to anyone that would challenge his undeniable power. Or, at least, that was the illusion that must be maintained. He wasn’t in change, but he must appear to be. Any onlooker, any civilian, and meat, needed to believe that he was more than just a puppet on a string (figuratively speaking, of course.) But he was not as solid as he once was. He had been under steady attack the past few nights, slowly chipping away at his defences and tonight, he reached the breaking point. A stray bullet from a gun happy fable took the “emperor” down.
_________________________________

The revolutionary had been out of touch with those in the city for a while. She was not privy to information that had become almost common knowledge in Fabletown. She did not know who the real power behind the Empire was. So it is no surprise that when she toppled the impressive figure, she believed that this evening, she had single-handedly ended a century-long war. How foolish.
Maybe this was the reason she let her guard down, allowing another blonde sharp-shooter to get the jump on her.
________________________________

He knew something was wrong. This woman was not who she seemed to be. He could smell it on her immediately. He knew when she should smell like and this was not it. She knew her cover was blown immediately, so she jumped to plan B. With a smile, magic filled the room and a howl was let out from the rugged man. She had heard the bad news about the Adversary, but this would help make up for it. The Empire lost a pawn, but she just toppled a king.

She left his body lying there, lifeless. An hour or so later, two figures, a tall one and a short one, would stumble across it. Realizing there was nothing they could do, they wandered off. A tear in the short one’s eye.
_________________________________

Night 4 is over.

JRS4 is dead. He was The Adversary (Adversary), large figure head that pretended to rule an empire.

SkyKushryd is dead. He was Goldilocks (Neutral), leader of the animal revolution on the Farm.

Michiganj24 is dead. He was Bigby Wolf (Fabletown) Former Sheriff and current huband.

One player has been silenced and cannot post.

13 active players, 7 is a majority

[Quebbster]

Well, that was pretty lucky. Too bad about Bigby though.

[EmperorNorton]

Suck it, Gepetto!

[Rokk_Krinn]

I would actually suspect Gepetto's still around and it's just his simulacrum Adversary that got taken out. Either way, it's a nice turn of events. :)

And, yes, mea culpa for the Dumas lynch. I thought he was "hiding out" as opposed to, well, just not being active. If needed, I'll gladly claim (especially since I'm rather weakened due to a certain death in the game a couple Nights ago). I just really wanted us to try and get some activity going as opposed to just "Days time out, Mafia kills us at Night."

[EmperorNorton]

I don't think there's any need for you to spell it out.

So what do we do now?
Does anybody have any information for a change?

[Quebbster]

And, yeah, I do have a reason for voting for [pbdeberry/Grinner] over Sky.
This post is interesting, given who Sky was.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I may have something which is probably little more than something that'll obfuscate more important matters if we dwell on it too much...but still worth mentioning: I specifically chose to not take an action last Night (i.e. - sent in "Not taking an action".) and, yet, I got a Failure notice.

[EmperorNorton]

So what does that mean?
You failed to not take an action?

[normalview]

I specifically chose to not take an action last Night (i.e. - sent in "Not taking an action".) and, yet, I got a Failure notice.

This actually what happened to me the night before, which is why I said I wasn't expecting any sort of notification and was surprised to get a failure notice.

And I failed tonight, too, and I was expecting results this time.

[Quebbster]

I don't have a night action and I still got a "Failed" message night before last.

[DarqFeonix]

Is The Adversary Mafia? I would assume so, but the alignment of Adversary is throwing me off a bit.

[MSU]

@ darq - what else would he be?

[DarqFeonix]

@ darq - what else would he be?

I honestly don't know. With that alignment, I'd consider competing mafias, but we haven't seen any evidence of that.

[Rokk_Krinn]

So what does that mean?
You failed to not take an action?

My guess - someone blocked me (and thus, if I had gone to take an action, I would have failed).

[DarqFeonix]

As a mod, I do that. Some don't.

[St-Dumas]

Apologies about my lack of activity earlier in the week. Sunday was spent with friends bowling and watching flicks. Monday was spent touring a possible college. My online time was limited to about five minutes before driving 2.5 hours to tour the new university.

Best of luck townies. See you next time.

[Jackofhearts2005]

This post is interesting, given who Sky was.

Quite the opposite.

Interesting post, given who Grinner may be.






At any rate, is anyone sure who the tall and short figures are? The rest of the writeup is obvious but I can't place them.

[Morpheousdr3am3r]

At any rate, is anyone sure who the tall and short figures are? The rest of the writeup is obvious but I can't place them.

All I can think of would be a reference to Blue and Flycatcher. I think it's likely flavor text more than anything.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Blue's not that short, though.

[The BoyBlunder]

Fly and Honest John?

[normalview]

I have CarlosMucha, deadshot042, Immortal_Raven, and Silver Lantenr as not checking in yet today... anyone else I am missing?

In the absence of other leads, perhaps we should start trying to figure out who is playing 'possum. SL is usually pretty chatty, so he's *maybe* the silenced one. Maybe.

VOTE: CarlosMucha as a place to start.

I just realized that the short person was probably Bufkin.

Change vote: Grinner

I thought somebody else (Deadshot?) was claiming them.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Vote: Grinner because we don't have anything better to go on.

[normalview]

So Carlos and Grinner (who I had missed, thanks) have checked in. That leaves deadshot, Immortal_Raven, and Silver Lantner.

Moving down the line change VOTE: deadshot.

And why exactly are others voting for Grinner? Beside my missing him on my potentially silenced list, is there some reason to suspect him?
