I'll be a reserve, though I really doubt you'll ever need one.

Appreciated, Ash.

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

[Maria and Children:]
[Repeat above verse twice]

[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

[Maria: (spoken)]
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.
Like this.

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[spoken]
Can you do that?
[Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[Maria:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Children:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Now, put it all together.

[Maria and Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Good!
[Brigitta:]
[spoken]
But it doesn't mean anything.
[Maria:]
[spoken]
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
[spoken]
Together!

[Maria and Children:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re

[Children:]
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
[Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]

[Maria:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

[Maria and Children:]
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread

I think Blatant's confirmed. Although, at the very least, he could have done a scene from Shakespeare.
Random fact- I can quote most of Macbeth's first act off the top of my head

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

Much better

I think Blatant's confirmed. Although, at the very least, he could have done a scene from Shakespeare.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows,
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

If it's mafia thread, and Blatant posts something in bold, it means he's confirming. I wonder it means when he doesn't post in bold?

Sarcasm is fantastic when people miss it

Just Wulf and Heir to confirm. I think the pace of sign-ups progressing means they may still be busy doing RL stuff for a bit.

Confirmed!

Quoted from Blatant7:

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows,
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

There is a message hidden in these ramblings.

Your name is Blatant7, is it not? 7, as in the seven deadly sins? I took every seventh word from above, but only until I reached seven.

In
scene
mutiny
unclean
these
lovers
overthrows

Cryptic, but I believe I have placed them in the proper order:

Mutiny overthrows these lovers, in unclean scene.

Who are the lovers? Who is guilty of mutiny and why do they interrupt the unclean scene? Rather suspicious.

OK might be last in, but I'm happy to join:

"We few, we happy few. We band of brothers
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile"

And let the good times roll

Right, it's now Night 0 proper. Waiting on a couple of actions and we'll get to day.

Will be on sporadically this weekend, if I'm on at all.

Dawn touched the windows of the house. The Reader woke in a corner of the house, hoping it was a dream, or that he had returned to the world he knew. Summoning his courage, he crept downstairs. The house was silent.
The Reader headed for the Library. It was where it happened last night- only there would he know- if he could trust his eyes. Only, before he got to there, he found the body of a young man, bloody from the trench wounds to his head.
The Reader shouted for help.

The figures from the night before appeared from all directions- some looking shaken, some looking grim, others shocked. They eyed each other warily, before convening on the body. Someone searched the poor corpse- on it was a letter from a friar of Verona, and a note written in a woman’s handwriting, both addressed to ‘Romeo’. It was a character from one of the plays The Reader was reading last night. Dear Romeo had somehow jumped from page to life.
None present knew of any of the others, only who they themselves were. With devastating clarity, The Reader knew what was required. He took the others to the Library, and explained to them that he did not know what had happened to cause everyone to be here, only that they must be in a story. Not just any story, but that in the style of Shakespeare. And to resolve it, like any Shakespeare, there must be an ending.

It was just being decided each day they would convene to the Library every day from then on, when one man saw something. He bent down and examined the fireplace. Embers still burned brightly, and there were charred paper remains still legible. The man carefully picked the largest piece up, holding it to the light. It seemed to be a part from the play ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’- the part of Puck. The others, upon being shown this, recollected they were two less their number from last night’s shadows. That meant that the character Puck had been among those that had appeared in the house during that stormy night. It also meant that he had vanished.

Puck (Blatant) has vanished.
Romeo (Julius) has been slain.

It is now Day 1- 6 to lynch.

Should Julius and Blatant wish to be replacements, then they may.
A full, in-game explanation of the roles will follow later in the day, but the bare bones are on the OP.

Damn. Make me a replacement please.

Damn. Make me a replacement please.

Ditto.

And Blatant, you should have protected me, damn you!

Blatant played the role of Puck, a mischievous fairy in 'A Midsummer's Night Dream', one of Shakespeare's comedies. He was able to cast spells to protect another person, but due to his nature he couldn't resist once fiddling with what others did to cause chaos.

Julius played the role of Romeo, the great lover from 'Romeo and Juliet', one of Shakespeare's tragedies. Should he receive news his true love had died, he would be gradually consumed with grief, and commit suicide at the end of the day to join them rather than face life without them.

EDITED for clarity after a few posters below have posted

[This message has been edited by EnemyofJupitor (edited 05-07-2009 @ 03:59 PM).]

Well, whoever Romeo's lover is (Juliet) should probably come forward. Your going to die anyway, and that way we won't waste a lynch. My 2 cents.

Lets get this rolling. Random Vote: NomadicNoodle

This is wierd, I've played with a few people here, I love this forum.

I don't see why you want to kill Romeo's lover. Doesn't strike me as a very harmful role, unless she (or he) is now after vengeance and some sort of vigilante.

Alas, an unguided and broken heart poses more danger than the rifle.

Well, whoever Romeo's lover is (Juliet) should probably come forward. Your going to die anyway, and that way we won't waste a lynch. My 2 cents.

Poor reasoning.

When Juliet dies, it will be an extra death on top of lynches and scum night kills.

If the scum know which player is Juliet, they will avoid attacking her as they will expect her to commit suicide, so we have an extra death.

If she keeps quiet, scum may still randomly target her and kill her... and if she's going to die anyway, it is preferable scum accidentally target her than anybody else.

So unless we accidentally push the Juliet player for a RC, Juliet revealing herself can only help the scum.

This is of course dependent on how long it takes for her to be consumed by grief, and it assumes her role is identical to Romeo's.

EDITED for clarity as to how the lover mechanic works. That is all.

Well, that is unless Juliet were to kill herself at the end of Day, not at Night; she would be dead before the Mafia got a hold of her anyway. But, still, it may be best for now for Juliet not to come forward unless pressured.

Oh, my post above is pretty much irrelevant then. If Juliet has the same role as Romeo, she's dead before night.

I see your logic Shrink, but the lover dies at the end of the day, not at night.

What purpose does keeping Juliet alive for just a day have?

A possibility is that she has a kill during the day - a last chance to avenge the death of Romeo.

Alright, so, random voting. I'll leave off for now, until Nomadic posts.

And, I suppose it would be a good idea for Juliet to come forward now.

She could very well be a vengeful lover.

Alright, lets see what we've got here

Firstly:

Quoted from Night 0:

Puck (Blatant) has vanished.

The fact that he has vanished as opposed to being killed like Julius makes me think of perhaps a 3rd party, though it is probably unlikely in such a small Mafia, though perhaps it could be a doctor like protective role, removing Blatant from play for a night or so to prevent night kills?

In regards to Romeo I agree that it is likely that his lover will indeed commit suicide soon and thus it is probably not in her interests to come forward as this will give the Mafia a pointless target if they randomly pick her.

However if he/she actually has any important information it may well be worth coming forward anyway despite the risk (though I can't really see what this information would be)

I suppose all I can do for the time being is random vote myself, so therefore: Random Vote: Crazed Ewok

Vote count before I sign off-

NomadicNoodle: 1 (Cat)
Crazed Ewok: 1 (Noodle)

Have fun.

Ah, I've just noticed Blatant's name is crossed off the list of alive players, so I'm assuming that pretty much confirms him as dead..

I think there is probably an SK that causes people to vanish, though with my very limited knowledge on Shakespeare, no character comes to mind.

But he was killed by burning his book, which seems like a wierd way to kill someone if the normal way was the be stabbed, or however puck died.

Mayhaps the 3rd party is somehow connected to fire?

Alright, so the third party burns our parts. Does that mean the third party is not a character like the rest of us?

Maybe the third party character is Shakespeare himself?

Vote:Ornlu

I have my reasons.

Vote:Ornlu

I have my reasons.

What? Care to share these "reasons"?

Maybe the third party character is Shakespeare himself?

That's a pretty good guess, since only he would be able to make people vanish in the literal sense.

If he was Shakespeare I would expect him to be Iron, or unlynchable. I would think that he would be untouchable by his work, and that it would be represented in the game somehow.

Heir, your going to have to do better than that.

I agree, if heir has made himself a target with 'I have my reasons' he might as well spit them out because otherwise he's making himself an obvious scum target.

As for the Juliet role, whoever holds it might as well say who they are, as they are dead at the end of day anyway. Might as well get all the information out there.

Meh, and also since i appear to have messed up....


Pit, what do you have to tell us?

Heir, your going to have to do better than that.

I agree, if Heir has made himself a target with 'I have my reasons' he might as well spit them out because otherwise he's making himself an obvious scum target.

Yeah, well, I was trying to turn up the heat on Ornlu without making myself a scum target, cause one of our doctors is already dead.

Anyways, here's the real deal.

I'm basically a cop. I investigated Ornlu during the night and got villain on him, so unless I'm random or insane, which I doubt I am, Ornlu is scum.

Would you people want my character name too?
