Be Excellent To Each Other

It's been a hell of a night in Gotham City.

Gothamites awake to find their family gone, their friends nowhere to be found. Some run out into the empty streets, others turn on their TVs. The Gotham-based networks are all down or showing test signals, but those with satellite dishes manage to tune to the national news channels, who are all talking about a single story...

...the end of Gotham City!

Details are sparse, but it seems a terrible virus has been unleashed on Gotham. It kills quickly, then dissolves the bodies. Some reports state this virus was going to be unleashed world-wide by evil genius Ra's Al-Ghul but that the mythical Batman stopped him from completing his full plan, sacrificing Gotham City in the process. Others simply mention rumours of biological weapon research being carried out in a secret Gotham government laboratory with a bad safety record.

All the news channels, though, agree that Gotham has been quarantined. Looking out across the cityscape, the Gothamites can see army helicopters circling above the edges of the city and some think that the vague shapes on the roads of the surrounding countryside may be armored cars or tanks.

It seems the survivors are stuck in Gotham for the foreseeable future and, though they could not say why, they all start to gather in the grounds of Arkham Asylum. Maybe, in a world gone mad, Arkham, the beacon of insanity, feels somehow comforting.

A quick head count shows that there are twenty-five Gothamites left alive out of the millions that once lived here. Curiosity and Mimi are shouting out of the barred windows of Arkham, begging to be let out, but their cries are ignored.

The villagers talk of what they have seen and several mention seeing some bodies in the streets with bullet wounds in the back of their heads. These people were not killed by the virus, which leads to one horrible conclusion - the mafia are still active in Gotham! And who knows which freaks have survived the plague?

The time for social niceties is over. The government and the rule of law have failed these poor people and they begin to erect a gallows outside the asylum.

The only question is - who should they hang?

In Arkham: Curiosity & Mimi

With 23 players alive and free, 12 votes are needed for a lynch and 18 for a nolynch. The deadline for today is 12pm Thursday.

Apologies for posting this is in here as I was originally playing and now I'm not, so I can't see the Dead Thread.
Can someone sort this please or I'll have to do some work.
Thanks.

I don't think I can, or if I can I don't know how, but hopefully someone will.

Also, some people have said they won't be around this morning. I know Craster won't be near a computer until mid-afternoon at the earliest. So don't lynch anyone for being silent too quickly.

It has been done now, thank you mysterious mod-type person.
I'll be off now then.

Sorted. Now I won't be near a computer until mid-afternoon.

Beautiful Gotham! What has become of ye?

*sings*

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease release me, let me go..."

I'm stuck here in Arkham, which has ruined my original plan for my first post merely to be:

Vote:ComicalGnomes.

Bah, and what's more, humbug.

Hello, WTF is going on?

Malc

Vote : joans!

What a mess! This virus doesn't just kill humans, I saw my dog dissolve! Right in front of my eyes!!

(I too shall be quite quiet today, as I am on a really, really, really boring training course)

All the more reason to get posting

*stretches and yawns* and in Gotham too

I won't be around much until late afternoon as I have to go the uni and get a job application countersigned then I'm out for lunch and sorting out a friends laptop, I should be back by late afternoon though.

Holeeee shit! They're all dead! Dead, I tell you!


Aargh!

I will be around all day. Deciding who out of the above 'Oh I'm busy today' types will be getting a sore throat.

Are we all Goths now we live in Gotham?

Sup crackers did someone say lynch?
If you axe me I say [vote: KevR]

I hope not, dying my hair black will cover the blonde I've had put in.

Note: I has got some fool visitin me at work today, so I be working my black ass off.

Thoughts - There are no vanilla townies. There are guards and cops, and we can afford to lose some of these, but not to let them get to zero because then we lose either the asylum or the commissioner's Roleblock. We also have a 7 day limit for finding Ivy.

Further notes: a lot of the special roles are 0-1. I doubt we have them all.

Dead bodies everywhere!

Batman, you cunt. My property portfolio is going to be buggered!

[vote:Comicalgnomes]

Highly predictable Dudley

I'm also not here much today, shitloads of work to get done. I'll be around more on Thursday.

Ah, why not - it's a start.
[vote:comicalgnomes]

Prediction. We lynch him now, he's a non-descript role with a town win condition.

The town goes on to win.

He wins.

Fucker.

No. If we lynch him he turns out to have been the Secret Loon that Rev Owen neglected to tell us about. If we don't lynch him, he's the Mafia Don or The Joker.

The bastard.

Probably.

Right, I can't run the vote counter program, so if anyone can, feel free to keep us updated with the current vote counts during the course of the game.

You got mail.

Vote Update

comicalgnomes: 2 votes (dudley, grim...)
kevr: 1 vote (lacesensor)

Not voted: bobbyaro, comicalgnomes, craig, craster, curiosity, dimrill, goddess jasmine, kevr, mimi, mr dave, mr russ, myoptika, plissken, pundabaya, richardgaywood, rodafowa, runcle, sheepeh, spinglo sponglo!, tsumuch, vegetables, zardoz

With 25 players alive, 13 votes are required for a lynch and 19 votes for there to be no lynch.

[vote: The Rev Owen]

well his name is the most joker-esque of all the players.

The bit at the bottom doesn't work in this game. Should read:

With 23 players alive and free, 12 votes are required for a lynch and 18 votes for there to be no lynch.

Also, you have mail back.

So to clarify we only need a majority of free players to lynch gnomes?

Yes. The number of votes required to lynch someone is a majority of the players able to vote.

I want to try something. Owen, can you take Curiosity and Mimi out of the playerlist on the front page of the thread for a sec?

[Vote:Curiosity] <-- not a real vote, I am testing

Holy moley! *BIFF* *KAPOW* *KERSPLAT*

What in Gotham has happened today? I see the mafia are block-voting already.

Done!

Well, look at it this way. Yes, it's bad news for Gotham, but it's great news for my Canned Goods, Shotguns And Leather Jackets With Spikes On Them emporium.

*gets out the pun detector*

Yeah, if you take out the asylum players then the numbers are right and (I think) votes from them will be disregarded. Unfortunately so will votes for them, look below. Hmmm.

Ah.

I shall return them to player list for now, then.

Are we allowed to vote to lynch Aslyum players then? Surely we can't break in to get them? Otherwise we could break in to free them....

But you don't want to free them. Or something.

But, yes, you can lynch inmates.

Ive just been looking at the player list and possible roles and I reckon there will be between 6-9 bad guys playing this game, leaving us with a chance of around 25%-35% chance of lynching someone against us.

I like those odds, but who to vote for...? *scratches chin*

Comical, obviously.

Mathematics be damned, there's a good chance he's evil.

But what about in the game?

That's not taking into account the Mafia blockvote that's likely to guide us to a goodie, but that's really by the by. Our best information-gathering tool is stringing someone up, but I want to hear from everyone before I join the baying mob rushing to the gates of Comical's castle armed with torches and pitchforks.

Hmm. I wonder. Seems to me that after a few games of the scum players mostly jumping into positions 3-10 in the bandwagon, they may be trying something new. Like starting a bandwagon perhaps.

[vote:Dudley]

[vote:Dudley]

Because he's a twat for voting for me without any basis in the world.

Other than you being you...

Typical scum tactic that, hide a bandwagon in a revenge vote...
