Sensible Nonsense Chapter Eight - Cards Came Tumbling Down

quote [ Using 22,000 cards over 3 days, record-holding card stacker Bryan Berg builds the Rhode Island State House, home of Brotherhood. ]

Morning came with the chirping of little birds and the flittering of little white butterflies. The air seemed to be warming, and the snow had melted slightly. Even the pools seemed to be refilling with clear water, reflecting the blue of the morning sky.

Most appeared well rested as they assembled around the breakfast table, awaiting the habitual roll-call will less of a sense of dread than usual. Even death becomes tedious, after a while.

It was not long before the gaps in the party became clear. Smee and The Mock Turtle had both failed to join the Delegations. Tiger Lily was dispatched to Smee’s cabin to check on him, while Eeyore set off to look for the Turtle.

It wasn’t long before Tiger Lily returned, her face set in a grim expression. “Smee is no longer with us. There is no body.. but the state of his cabin leaves no doubt as to his fate. Whoever goes to clean that up is going to need a bucket and some industrial strength bleach… no, better make that TWO buckets. And a hose. I have no idea how it got all the way up to the rafters. There is no way we’re getting our housekeeping deposit back…”

Servants were dispatched; already a little green at Tiger Lily’s description of what awaited them. Stay in school, kids.

Eeyore ambled back a little later, looking no more despondent than usual, but that wasn’t saying much really. “Found the turtle. Didn’t think I would, but couldn’t be helped. Silly idea. Tried to make a hot tub out of one of the catering cauldrons. Got a little too hot for him. Should’ve gotten out of the water. Guess he just didn’t notice. Such a waste. Oh well. Suppose that’s it for Wonderland. Nothing left but Mock Turtle soup.”

The Delegates sat in silence for a few minutes in respect for their fallen comrades, before the discussion began and the day was officially opened.

And if any of them thought- for a moment- that Mock Turtle soup sounded really quite tasty, they certainly didn’t say so.

happiest_sadist

Whilst archangel did point out that Mafia aren't neccesarily in each delegation, I had forgotten that I have never seen an item.

Meaning someone amongst us three has it, or has destroyed it. I know I haven't touched it (obviously), and so it's reasonable to assume that one of the other two had it.

I wasn't too sure about v21 at first, with his seemingly out of nowhere attack on Theolypse, but seeing as he was right, I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And so we are left with happiest_sadist. (And as such, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry..)

cb361 said @ 6:48pm GMT on 11th Sep
There were six items listed in the prologue, and seven delegations playing on Day 1. It may be that the Younger Worlds were added because there were more players than expected, so this doesn't prove that the Younger Worlds didn't have an item, but it opens the possibility. I said several days ago that even though I thought there was probably mostly one infiltrator per delegation, we risked tripping up if we assumed it was a 100% rule. Even so, the rule has served us well so far, so I think we should concentrate on the younglings for now. happiest_sadist

juju said @ 1:12am GMT on 12th Sep
well v21 was right about theo but theo wasn't an infiltrator. So I'm not sure that him being right about theo can clear him from being mafia.

eightysix said @ 7:55am GMT on 11th Sep
Fwee because beavers hate you. What a negative nancy.

eightysix said @ 7:57am GMT on 11th Sep
Actually, archangel_2 is my more honest vote.

Zelgius said @ 11:25am GMT on 11th Sep
I think we should be looking at the affiliated states delegation, and out of that bunch, the one I find most suspicious is happiest_sadist.

cb361 the more I look at things the more I feel a little uneasy with him. I'm not stuck on the idea. I will be back shortly before the time is up (I think) but here's my placeholder in case something comes up at work.

archangel_2 said @ 8:31pm GMT on 11th Sep
/sigh/ I'm still torn between eightysix and cb361. On the one hand, eightysix just voted for me (and I'm not sure if that makes him more or less likely to be an Infiltrator), but juju raises several good points (though she says that she's not very sure about them, and it's just a "placeholder" vote for now). Both have equal amounts of votes on them (1 each)...

I'm gonna go with cb361. For now...

Stension said @ 9:26pm GMT on 11th Sep
Why not I suppose? They haven't found an infi yet and saddist has the most votes currently.

Reaaaaaally sorry for missing Day 7...

Is our delegation (The Affiliated States) the only one left with no Mafia found so far?

happiest_sadist said @ 4:39am GMT on 10th Sep
Yep, we have lost only one (Misanthrope) and he was town.

archangel_2 said @ 7:38am GMT on 10th Sep
Sort of - the Wonderland delegation didn't have one, and now that everyone from that group is gone, it proves that it wasn't the case. Whether there is or isn't one in the Affiliated States, I've no idea, but there isn't going to necessarily be one, either...

v21 said @ 5:00am GMT on 11th Sep
Well, I've seen no sign, nor heard nothing about items, which makes tracking down any potential baddies harder. But it also makes us less valuable targets.

archangel_2 said @ 8:26pm GMT on 11th Sep
Same with the Narnian delegation - no one has ever come forward to say they had an item, which seems to indicate that no townie ever had it - it was apparently destroyed on Day One by an Infiltrator. :(

(hey, brat#3: I want a description on what we missed out on in the end of day write up, dammit!! ;)

archangel_2 said @ 7:16am GMT on 10th Sep
Okay, as I said yesterday, I'm pretty sure that the Narnian delegation has more than one Infiltrator in it. Now, I know that I'm not an Infiltrator (and hopefully I've proved that as well as you can in one of these games), and I'm almost positive that verycleanteeth isn't one either. So that leaves us the two Beavers...

HPew voted for eightysix yesterday after it was obvious that he was going down. Was that to throw off suspicion? Or to raise it? I really have no idea - so...who should we vote for today? eightysix? or cb361? any suggestions of who, if either, is more suspicious? (or, if neither, who a better candidate for lynching is?)

eightysix said @ 7:55am GMT on 10th Sep
it's not me.

cb361 said @ 10:15am GMT on 10th Sep

juju said @ 2:33am GMT on 11th Sep
Somehow I managed to skip making a write up on eightysix, so I'll have to get back to you on that. I will say cb has a lot of connections to dead mafia members especially in the first few days, being voted for by Silent a few times, first to vote for Strat the day he went down before Strat was outted... I'd have to say that I'm not entirely convinced which way that goes.

cb361 said @ 9:48am GMT on 11th Sep
I'm short on intelligence. Well, even more than usual. vct virtually lynched mookie on his own, so he's clean. For everybody else, well, I don't see any suspicious voting. I'd concentrate on the Younger Worlds, though, because we haven't found a single infiltrator in their midst yet.

So: the person I most vaguely remember being talked about as suspicious was archangel_2. I can't remember any why. Why was that? Did he get cleared-to-an-extent?

Zelgius said @ 11:27am GMT on 11th Sep
Yeah, back on day 2 (I think) Bodnoirbabe said she used an item on archangel_2 and found out that he did nothing during the night. So that means he's most likely not an infiltrator.

archangel_2 said @ 8:24pm GMT on 11th Sep
Definitely not the Nothing, though I still disagree that brat#3 would include an item that would reveal ALL of the mafia just by picking one of them, so I still say that doesn't clear me. The way the Vial of Stench worked was that if I'd had a night action, not only would I stink, but everyone I came into contact would, too. The theory was that, since the mafia meets every night, that ALL of the mafia would've been tagged with stench by it. As I said, I REALLY doubt that brat#3 would've included such an item - WAY too powerful.

On the other hand, I was pretty instrumental in getting HPew lynched, and have been pretty outspoken with my opinion that there's another Infiltrator in the Narnian delegation. Since the current trend has been to ignore the delegations where we found an Infiltrator, that would be doubly stupid on my part. (Plus, I KNOW I'm not an Infiltrator! ;)

verycleanteeth said @ 3:51pm GMT on 11th Sep
Sooooo, do we have any sort of info to go off of?

archangel_2 said @ 8:37pm GMT on 11th Sep
None, really. I'm convinced, since the Narnian delegation survived intact for so long and because the Infiltrators apparently got to our item before any of the townies did, that there's more than one Infiltrator in our delegation.

Many others are of the assumption that we haven't seen any Infiltrators from the Affiliated States yet, so they're focusing on them.

That's about all we've got to work with right now...

juju said @ 12:38am GMT on 12th Sep
I'm dfinitely thinking of people who went for theo instead of HPew two days ago.

juju said @ 12:52am GMT on 12th Sep
By the by, those voting for theo include:
verycleanteeth (already pretty much cleared),
cb361,
eightysix,
theolypse (suicide vote),
happiest_sadist,
v21,
HPew (infiltrator)

Then Fwee had a throwaway vote.

Not saying all of our infiltrators will come from the pile of cb361, eightysix, happiest_sadist, v21 or Fwee, but I would doubt HPew had more than one vote from an infiltrator against him, if that.

Those voting for HPew: archangel_2, Zelgius, Stension, juju, Hito, Bodnoirbabe. (Last two dead townies.)

The Day the delegates sat together
and discussed options of one kind

and another

Engywook called out "Wild Thing!"
and then said "He'll eat you up!
So we should send him to bed- er, death- without eating anything (else)."

That very Day at Engywook's suggestion a case grew
and grew-
and grew until the table piled with votes
and the prize became the Worlds all around.

And a buffet cart rumbled by with a bit of lunch for the Delegates
and it trundled off through crowd and throng
and in and out of chairs
and almost over a Delegate to where the wild thing sat.

And when it camt to the place where the wild thing sat he roared his terrible roar, and gnashed his terrible teeth, and rolled his terrible eyes, and showed his terrible claws

til Grograman said 'Be still!'
And shut him up with the magic trick
of casting another vote for him without blinking once
and the wild thing was frightened and called him something unprintable.

And named him King of all those unprintable things.

"And now," cried the Beavers. "Let the wild luncheon start!"

"Now STOP!" Engywook said and sent the Beavers off to sit down without their lunch. And Engywook (The Next of all Thursdays) was vindicated and wanted to show them someone who loved them least of all.

Then all around from the bottom of it's head they heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down, and the Wild Thing gave up being the last of all the Infiltrators.

And the Delegates cried, "Oh thank you so-
he ate Smee Up- we hate him so!"
And Engywook said, "No!- Er, I mean Yes. Sorry."

Iorek Byrnison couldn't be bothered doing any roaring of his terrible roar or gnashing of his terrible teeth or rolling of his terrible eyes or showing of his terrible claws

And simply sat down in his private chair and waved 'Goodbye!'

and everybody ran over the bear
and in and out of the weapons locker
and through their arsenal

and by the time it was night there was a polar bear rug in the room
and they found their Luncheon waiting for them

And it was still hot.

Dead: happiest_sadist - Wild Thing AKA Iorek Byrnison, INFILTRATOR

POST GAME:

There were parts of this game that were more successful than others, but hopefully mafia was the winner on the day. (The game, not the team). Thank you all for playing and I hope you enjoyed it :)

THE BAD GUYS:
To take a look into the nefarious dealings of your Modern Fantasy Villains, visit: http://groups.google.co.nz/group/business-is-fantastic/

THE ITEMS:

To see who had them and when, checkout my Spreadsheet of Doom uploaded to the group: http://groups.google.co.nz/group/business-is-fantastic/files
As you can see, a lot of them didn't get used as often as they could have- or died with someone killed for inactivity or who just didn't mention having it before they got lynched. Two were destroyed by mafia on night two. Bad Luck!

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS:

Fairy Dust
Select a target to scatter with Fairy Dust in order to help them avert danger for one night. The targeted player is able to fly away from any offensive action attempted on them during the night. Does not count as an offensive action. Requires common sight of target.

Stone Wand
Select a target to turn to stone for the duration of one night. While the effects will disperse by morning, that target will be unable to perform actions or be harmed while under the effects of the enchantment. Counts as an offensive action. Requires common sight of target.

The Auryn
While the Amulet’s powers are limited outside of the Realm of Fantastica, a single wish can be made by each bearer allowing them to either protect one target for a night or to view them with True Sight. Does not count as an offensive action. Does not require common sight of target.

Ruby Slippers
The slippers will transport the user to the person of their choice for a brief time. Be warned- those you choose to view can also see you. Does not count as an offensive action. Does not require common sight of target.

Glass Flask, ‘Drink Me’
Drinking from this flask renders the user so small as to be undetectable and invulnerable to any means which requires common sight of a target. Some magical effects will still be able to effect you.

Vial of Stench
A potent liquid derived from the Bog of Eternal Stench, the contents of this vial can be used to lay a trap for a target of your choice. At dusk it is applied outside the quarters of your target, and should that person leave during the night they and whoever they subsequently meet will be tainted by a terrible Stench which will linger the following day. Counts as an offensive action. Does not require common sight of a target.
*Congrats to archangel_2 for pointing out that I had made this stupidly overpowered. If during play the vial had been used on a mafia, I would have only revealed that person and the dead body as smelling bad- not the entire group. But thankfully that never happened!

YOUR INVESTIGATOR:

..was Zelgius. These were the PM's he received.

Caffeine - You are able to quietly exit your room during the night to stake out a position in view of the Dormouse's teapot. While he does possess an inordinately large snore for one so small, he otherwise appears to be quite harmless. After a night spent listening to his murmuring of tea and crumpets, you retire to your cabin tired and feeling rather peckish.

Hito - After a quick nap and some strong espresso, you slip out to where the Neverlandians lay sprawled around the embers of a campfire. You keep watch all night as Smee mumbles incoherently in his sleep, catching the odd muttering about Mermaids and the occasional wolf-whistle. Come morning you return to your cabin with nothing more than a numb behind and a few choice pieces of sailor slang.

Stension - While everyone sleeps, you slip quietly to a tree growing alongside Grograman's cabin and climb gingerly into a good spot to observe him through a window. Before he undergoes his nightly change to black stone, you see him touch his paw to a strange looking amulet hanging from around his neck. It seems to be made from two snakes entwining and biting each other's tails. He closes his eyes for a short time, then, seeming to sob, lets the change overtake him. *this was the night Stension used the Auryn and investigated badgerbaiter, who committed suicide in the morning's write up.

Narrenschiff - In the dead of night you slip out to the cabin allocated to Sir Didymus. Expecting another wasted evening listening to the snores of a strange fox-like creature, you are surprised to see a young boy engaged in heated dispute with some figures over the other side of the room. Unable to contain a gasp, you beat a hasty retreat before he sees you- but the image of a brown-haired bespectacled boy in school uniform was quickly noted by your analytical mind, as was the small lightening shaped mark on his forehead and the care label on the back of his vest labelled 'Harry Potter - House Gryffindor'.

HPew- Deciding tonight's stakeout should be centred around the Narnian camp, you adorn yourself with as many twigs and leaves as you can find with the intention of passing yourself off as a small bush. From your vantage point next to Sir Tumnus' window, you are able to see the figure of a young woman who you have never seen at the Delegation Chamber. She has long brown hair, pale skin and an overly serious expression on her face.
"Ugh, this is getting disgusting. I don't know if I'll ever get this Goat smell off. Aren't we done here yet? Edward will be missing me. Let's just off that woggly-bug thing and get on with it."
Satisifed you have gleaned enough information to go on for one evening, you pick up your strange coat and rustle back to your room for the rest of the night.

v21- Tip-toeing to where Puff sleeps (outside- Dragon, you understand) you find a spot well clear of his snout just in case he belches fire while he dreams. Nothing much happens, so you pass the time making fancy stuff out of strings and sealing wax.

happiest_sadist- Determined to expose a spy from within the Affiliated states, you stake out in the tree that the Wild Thing normally sleeps under. Halfway through the evening the tree trembles worryingly as the Wild Thing wakes, yawns, and scratches his back against the tree trunk. You watch as he brings a claw up under his neck and hear a loud 'zipppp' noise. Your eyes widen as he steps out of his skin, removes his head and reveals himself to be a large polar bear underneath. The bear lopes off, to return a short time later with a darkened muzzle and using what appears to be an eye patch to floss his incredibly large teeth. Thankfully, after a large belch, the bear puts his Wild Thing suit back on and quickly falls asleep, obviously sated. You bid a hasty retreat in case he wakes up feeling peckish for an after-dinner snack.

All other PM's are also in the spreadsheet if you want to take a look.

Any questions?
