Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

Prologue:

The galaxy is in great peril. The Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, both weakened from years of military unrest, continue to battle for control of the galaxy. Most observers now believe the elongated conflict is finally reaching its end, and only one faction will survive.

Will it be the Rebel Alliance?

Or will it be the Galactic Empire?

You decide!

Day One

It was a kind and somber night, much like the calm before the storm.

In the words of the Rebel Alliance…

*Knock. Knock.*

"Han? … Han! The Falcon is nearly ready to take off; we have to get out of here!"

"Just a minute, Luke, I’m nearly finished."

"Finished? Finished with what?"

"Uh, er, just hang on, we’re almost done!"

"We? Who is we?"

"Me, I meant me."

"Han, I’m coming in there!"

"That’s a ba…"

"LEIA! What is going on in here?"

"Han and I were just going over battle plans, you know, tactical penetration and such."

---



Day Two

The night is darkest just before the dawn. In the Trade Federation’s Prison, it is always before the dawn.

In the words of the Rebel Alliance…

“Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh.”

“Grrrrrrfffffff.”

(For purposes of this transcript, Chewbacca’s primitive speech will be translated to English.)

Over intercom: “Chewbacca, a little green man, resembling an unpruned shrub, has posted bail for you and is coming to your cell now.”

“Chewbacca, what have you done?” said Yoda. “The Rebel Alliance cannot risk losing your military expertise at this great time of need!”

“Why were you locked up in this Trade Federation Prison, anyway?”

“Arrggghhh. I “allegedly” raped Princess Leia, but you and I both know this would be impossible, as Han and Leia are going steady. Grrrffffff.”

“True this is, my Wookie friend.”

“Well, the Rebel Alliance and Jedi Council must now move beyond this obvious misunderstanding, as the Galactic Empire threatens our very survival.”

(While Yoda is not looking, Chewbacca proceeds to toss away some unused “Galaxy Go Condoms” from his fur.)

“Quickly Chewbacca, we must board my ship and join the others at the forest moon of Endor, to begin our assault on the Empire.”

In the words of the Galactic Empire…

*Heavy breathing.*

*Heavy breathing.*

*More heavy breathing.*

*Struggled heavy breathing.*

*Near-death heavy breathing.*

(Darth Vader collapses at the feet of Emperor Palpatine.)

Kinky.

I'm never going to be able to remember everyone's characters. I guess it really doesn't matter though.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Whoa whoa. I call zombie bullshit.


How can Amidala AND Leia both be in this!?!?!

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Why not? No one said they were alive at the same time. :)

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Argh I wish I knew the Star Wars universe well.

Why can't Amidala and Leia be alive at the same time?

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Well, if one of us has to be dead, it ain't gonna be me, that's for sure.

*Cocks gun.*

Heh. Cocks.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

!Vote Nighthawk

Palpatine is obviously evil.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Truly, this is a distorted reality of the Star Wars universe, enemies are friends and friends are enemies. No one can quite tell what is real anymore, or where ones loyalties lie. Do not act hastily, lest ye inadvertantly slay an allie in combat. You will be renounced by your peers, a lonely wanderer, ripe for the picking by Imperial scum. Take heed Qui Gon (Vampyr)

A soul of purity needs not to threaten others to gain their favour. Padme (Jeepnut) you madame ( :lol: ) are displaying the kind of response I would expect from the black hearted imperial space scum. Lower your wepon and justify your actions or I sware that in the interests of the Rebel alliance I will strike you down with my light sabre.

*Draws Sabre*
*Voooommm*
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Join me my brothers, together we will lead the Rebel Alliance to victory over these imperial dog's.

My story has stumped

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Amidala is Leia/Luke's mother, and died in childbirth.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Alright, let's get this game going.


I have the unfortunate advantage of knowing a lot about Mafia games. This makes me the most likely target for the mafia to kill in the first night. This happened to Vampyr once - getting killed early for being crafty.



Now that would be fiiiiiiine and dandy except for the fact that I am the seer.

Now the predicament is that without a seer, the good side has a much lower chance of rooting out bad guys.

I know this is a huuuuuge leap of faith but I need the guardian to protect me this round, and allow me to do a bit of seering.

From there, I'll work on figuring out a way to build a network, but this is going to require a lot of trust which in this game is quite difficult. If the guardian could at the very least humour me for a few rounds, we might make some headway.

However, if you don't trust me, I'm definitely dead this round.

I need to get really lucky and seer a bad guy this round, because seering a regular good guy doesn't really help me prove anything.



Help me guardian; you're my only hope.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Hmm, I didn't even think about your experience in this...maybe I will vote for you afterall. ;)

The plot will be updated daily to reflect in-thread banter.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Sigh...

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Not so hasty there Qui Gon Jinn (Vampyr) if Chewbacca (Dylflon) truly is our seer then he must be protected for the Rebel cause. As such at this time I take your vote against him as a suspicious act.

*Locks Qui Gon(vampyr) in Cell next to Padme(Jeepnut)*

You can remain there until I resolve something.

Chewbacca (Dylflon), if truly you are Seer as you say you are, then as Seer you have the duty not only to investigate suspects but also to report the truth of those findings, anything other than reporting the truth of those findings would imo betray the laws of the mafia Star wars universe causing it to collapse in upon itself.

You may investigate once a night, that gives 2 investigations before sundays conclusion, I say you investigate yourself tonight and you have to tell us the truth because it is the law. That way any doubt is cleared up and we will know for sure if you lied. If you are as you say you are you should be afforded the protection you so desire. You are the only one to claim the title so far I suppose. But I trust no one. Perhaps the grand overseer (Bond) will tell us wether the results of the proposed investigation are true or false made up lies. If you report your investigation and say you are good then the grand overseer says you are lying then we will have the conformation we need. If he says you speak truth then we will know you truly are seer. Saturday night we investigate one of my current suspects should they not respond to questioning.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Just reading through the posts it's hit me that voting in the first few rounds is going to be tricky business.
Also has any one seen my legs :p

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Depends on what I find. I can't out good specials to the mafia. Also, outing normal good guys can be tricky too. The seer's usual protocol in these games is to build a secret network.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Two things wrong with that. I only can investigate once a round.

And seering myself makes absolutely no sense.

It wouldn't make any sense since I already know who I am, and since I can't copy and paste info from a PM, it proves nothing to anyone.



I know it's confusing because I think the rules say 'once per night' and that's actually how it's phrased in my role PM but that's going with the consideration that most rounds are only supposed to be one day long. The first round is usually longer to give everyone time to get on board.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Right, sorry. All special actions are once per round. This first round is especially long so everyone has time to read the rules, their role PMs, and post in this thread.

Remember, the narration (and the days within) are just fluff.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Quote me :

If you report your investigation and say you are good then the grand overseer says you are lying then we will have the conformation we need. If he says you speak truth then we will know you truly are seer.

Ok so I edited that post but that was while you were posting. What I am saying is, do we really just take your word that you are seer?

Oh only once per round, my mistake... hmm still...

EDIT: You cant QUOTE a pm. That does not mean you can not report upon the information contained within it. Otherwise I cant tell people that I am a Rebel (good) and I already have, several times.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Just thinking about it now Dylflon
Why would you openly out yourself as the seer knowing full well the bad guys could kill you straight off.
I guess it's up to the gurdian to decide if he believes dylflon or not, because if he's telling the truth then he's prety much put himself in the crosshairs of the bad guys. And we're going to loose our seer very quickly.
But, the bad guys all know eachother, so for all we know this could be a trick by them to try and out the real seer.
I think you have put yourself in a very dangerous position Dylflon if you truely are the seer.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

To carry on my Mafia tradition...



!Vote Vampyr

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

So stoked. Always wanted to be Obi-Wan :p

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

You can allege what your PM states in text (ie. whether you are good or bad, your special role), but you cannot screen cap the PM in this thread, any other thread, through private messages, or any other communication source.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Sorry I had to. :lolz:

Anyhow, that is a hell of a hail mary in the first round.
Was intrigued on how you would play the game being on the other side for once (as far as GT is concerned)

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Argh.. Star Wars themed? The only movie I've seen is Episode III.

As always, whenever I start this game, I automatically become suspicious of BaB.. because it's him. :p But I'll hold off for now.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Haha, this is going to be so good.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

It would be cool if everyone could change their avatar to their character like jeepnut and Teuthida have done.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

Great idea, and not a problem. As long as I can find something I like. I'll do it now. The Bobom will return.

EDIT: Yeah there it is, that's the one ;)

I didn't like any of the photos I found.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

Oh that Chewy cracks me up. Always with the raping.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

Qui Gon quickly leaped into the fray, brandishing his limeade colored light saber. He brought his saber down towards the head of Palpatine, the typical 'voom voom' echoing through the metal halls, but just before he was about to decapitate the innocent looking old man, he decided that the old man was just a little too innocent looking.

Quickly turning he force jumped towards Chewbacca in pure, racist fury.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

That was kind of wierd for dyflon to do that.
Don't know if I want to lynch him or not.

I got a 3po avvie too.

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal | "Galaxy Go"
 

:lol:

See I told you I was good. He's trying to kill me.


I am releasing Padme from her cell. She is off my suspect list for the time being. There is a darker force among us.

*Looks at Qui Gon and Chewy battling*

Hard to see, the dark side is... an old friend once told me. Which of these targets before me need I strike down. I am not sure that Chewbacca really is our seer. Yet if he is, my target is clear. Hmmm

*fizzshack Voooooooooommmmmm*
*Darth Vader observes, light sabre at the ready*

For the good of the Rebel Alliance one of you dogs wall fall... tomorrow!

Re: Mafia Round 1 - Tactical Appraisal
 

No, but I've seen Bube's and Jeepnut's legs... :stud:

I'm going by this:
!Vote manasecret.

I don't have internet at home anymore, so I can only post from a university building. Not sure if I will be online tomorrow.
