Sensible Lemmings: The End
As evening fell over Rainbow Island the sky washed over with a prismatic sunset, revealing the first hint of the island's true beauty.
[mafia game] [by verycleanteeth@10:31amGMT] [+10 Good] The Lemmings sat huddled together. But a few of them were missing. Alacron, micham18, and spite48 were nowhere to be seen. schatten00777 also seemed to be gone, but then everyone realized it had been a while since they had last seen him... Suddenly a deafening cry ripped the air! spite48 leaped out of a tree and plunged a dagger straight into DeadCarbonCopy's back! Before anyone could react Alacron leapt from a dark grove on the opposite side of the group wielding a noose and wearing an ornate death mask! He swiftly looped it around JewyPEZ's neck and dragged him off into the jungle. JewyPEZ tried to bash his assailant, but it was useless. Nobody else had much time to worry about JewyPEZ. micham18 popped out of nowhere wielding a large scythe with skulls hanging off the neck. He swung and with a single motion seperated Narrenschiff and -_-'s bodies from their heads. A surge of panic filled the group. Everyone ran in separate directions. Bodnoirbabe ran blindly through the jungle. One of the Island's huge metal buzzsaws she didn't spot in her panic did the Suicide Cult's dirty work for them. micham18 caught up to zieko in a small nearby grove. zieko choked and gagged as sleeping pill after sleeping pill was force fed to him, until he fell asleep forever. Aidentas and juju stayed behind to fight, but their climbing and floating training had left them ill prepared for combat. Alacron pulled out an intense looking flamethrower with skulls all over it and incenerated the both of them. Context tried to dig himself a hiding place from the cultists, but was not discreet enough. spite48 found him and once the hole was deep enough, dumped all the excess dirt in, burying Context alive. micham18 found Equinophobe standing alone. He seemed to have accepted his fate. "Just get it over with... And make it quick." micham18 grabbed Equinophobe by the throat and clasped tightly until, with his last breath, there was a huge explosion. Both micham18 and Equinophobe had their bodies ripped apart and littered about the island. spite48 looked at Alacron. "Well, I think that's everyone. Shall we old chum?" Alacron locked arms with spite48. "Let's shall." They skipped merrily up and up a large cliffside. They did not stop skipping when they reached the edge. Their spines cracked upon the rocks below.

I have to say, the cultists had a lot of newer players and they played quite well. Add to that some lucky breaks early on and the good guys being reluctant to role reveal when it could save them, and you've got the ingredients for a baddie victory. This game was a pleasure to run everyone. I honestly had no idea up until the last minute which group would be victorious :) |

I think that a part of the deal with the new guys is it's harder to get a read on them. We don't know yet how they play, and as long as they don't do anything too crazy they can be really successful. Oh, and thanks for the good game VCT. |

LoC
said @ 12:49am GMT on 25th Jun
Thanks VCT! Sucks that I couldn't use my other role assign before it was over. I was hoping to save it until after the umbrella level. Alas, what are the odds we lynch the one damn miner and he doesnt' say anything until after I'm already asleep. Nice to know everyone else I was suspicious of was actually SC though, so my instincts wern't totally off. If anyone was curious, I made Equino an exploder when it looked like we might need one. Figured it was a good bet since he was a confirmed townie so if he went down he'd take a SC with him. |
|
Alacron
said @ 1:02am GMT on 25th Jun
It was a good choice and we had assumed that Equino was the exploder, but it was a smart move. |
|
spite48
said @ 2:58am GMT on 25th Jun
Agreed. Equino being accidentally exposed actually helped both sides. Knowing what he was helped narrow the field when we were looking for specific roles, and also justified our votes when he had voted for a normal lemming. On the other hand, Equino's exposure meant that the normal lemmings could absolutely rely on his status, and his identification of -_- if we ever did get close to lynching -_-. This meant that late-game the field of unknowns got pretty small. It also made it impossible to ever try to frame the builders as the SC. It also made the explosive builder gambit possible. We knew he was likely protected and/or explosive, and therefore trying to kill him was never a good move. |

Just jump in. I had a ton of fun in this game. Being mafia is a bit tricky for a new player. I found it challenging to say one thing to the other cultists, and then try to figure out what I would say publicly if I were innocent. If I had it to play over again, I might have been quieter, but I had fun playing it the way I did. Baldface lie after baldfaced lie. Incidentally, if anyone has constructive criticism I'd be happy to hear it. |

juju

Um... don't be evil next time? :D Really, any criticism is just someone telling you how they'd play it. But our different styles are what make it fun. |

For those that care I was the SC member who announced the kill to VCT before the end of the night, here are the messages I sent him. Night1 Well consider this the official word As an evil group we are killing Omegaphobic Personally as a climber I'm investigating sythe ----- Night2 Speaking for the lemmings with suicidal tendency's we shall re-enact the brutal murder of Julius Caesar with each of us taking a stab at cb361 the death of an emperor is a worthy death. ---- Night3 Hey In a rather ambivalent way FifthSpango has been chosen for death, perhaps we simply tripped him of the edge of something or into our box of spare razor blades. We want him dead but effort is hard when you wish you were dead, oh the sad life of a suicidal lemming. ---- Night4 This be the SC's kill order for Brat#3. It is true that vengance is on our mind but there is no reason not to be professional about it. I simple pirate theamed murder tonight, because I've seen a lemming float, I've seen a lemming climb, but Arrrr've never seen a lemming swim and it's of to davy jones' locker with him. ---- Night5 Well it is time for another nightly "assisted" suicide shiney things is the one we help tonight. With so many climbers coming forward it is a fitting way to have her killed, perhaps she was lured up the cliff face with the promise of shiny trinkets to add to her collection before she fell, perhaps she thought the belaying ropes would provide her safety instead of a tangling noose as she fell, perhaps we killed her on the ground and just dragged her up the cliff as a tribute to our suicidal nature. But the death part is what we are going for here. |

Epilogue schatten00777 made his way through the thick brush. He had taken a wrong turn and gotten lost a few days back. It had been a pain getting to Rainbow Island by himself, but when he saw the slapdash Lemming vessel tied off on the beach he knew he had found his friends. He thought he heard voices ahead. He exited the brush and found himself at the bottom of a rocky cliffside. Lying on the rocks ahead were his fellow cultists, Alacron and spite48. "Hey guys! Long time no see! Listen... I've had a lot of time wandering around by myself to think, and I've realized this whole death cult thing really isn't for me... Guys?" schatten00777 had to move in closer before he saw spite48's smashed in skull and Alacron's tongue hanging out, motionless. "...Well I'll be... Guess I missed the party... Ah well. I AM a Lemming after all." schatten00777 grabbed the backpacks off the limp corpses. They were empty save 2 bottles of children's grape flavored Tylenol. "Oh! Are you serious? Where'd all the sleeping pills go? Fiiiinnnneeee... Hope this works..." As the sun set over Rainbow Island, schatten00777 pulled the cap off one of the bottles of Tylenol and drank heartily. |
