Lucky you, Mako could have killed ANYONE if I didn't do my action first. I'm assuming he would have killed me because I knew he was misleading and wasn't really the Batman

Vote: dsister

I will unvote if dsister is change his vote. All I know is that I'm not Mafia and Dsister has a non lethal main power. I'd be most suspicious now of Kingfate and dude....

Wait dsister could not have been Mafia, he would have had to killed someone. dsister has hinted that his power was not fake after chatting with dude in this thread. Somebody was after Mako at the same time I was, which would explain why only one person got out last night. If dsister is not lethal and if anyone knows dude isn't...that leaves Kingfate! Exclamation

There's 4 people left here, someone better stand up to prove they aren't mafia...

I'm not an idiot! I wouldn't tell you guys if I was Mafia! I'm the vigilante of the game! I wouldn't be asking you guys too show if you were pro town If I was. We've gotten almost no interaction from Kingfate in the game and no one is suspicious of him? I'm starting to think SciFi was right when he said dsister was trying to mislead us..

The biggest peices proof I have that I'm not Mafia are that when I tied up Mako I didn't kill him, while when we lynched SciFi he died. SciFi was also a good guy but turned out to be pro town. Only the Killer (Mako) and Mafia can actually kill people.

If you want to make the same mistake you did with SciFi go ahead, just know next mafia game I'm not going to be truthful to anyone vote break in the slightest.

http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Killing_methodhttp://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Killing_method

I was reviewing the rules today, as you can see the cause of "death" varies for each person who kills.The 'cause of death' varies depending on who killed the player(For example, the victims of a Vigilante may be shotgunned, while victims of a Serial Killer may be chainsawed)". I tied up my vitcim, which is a trademark of Batman who as everyone knows is a Vigilante. The Mafia member most surely would have done something like beat them up to death! If this isn't these aren't proof I don't what what is! Very Happy

I shall unvote dsister and change it to

VOTE: A BAD CLOWN

Now when co3 has me killing myself you'll all realize the screw up!

Wait... the vigilante who on so many occasions took down Gotham's biggest criminals just willingly killed himself?

I have to say.

I am both happy and confused. At least now the Batman will never interrupt my plans.

The camera replay was disappointing. I expected more violence, it seems my toxin is not making them bloodthirsty as intended.

I have to fix that in the future.

well I was going to go with your first impulse which is the most logical choice going by what we know... and since j0 is outside of our prison I doubt we can lynch him... but we have nothing to lose so I'll go with it...

It seems two of the survivors are trying to clime out.

Oh no sirre!


I just need to grab my trusty sho- oh what's this? HAHAHHAHHA

They can't even go 5 feet through the rubble. They're stuck! What fools.

KingFate was no match in a fight with the two other villains. Soon, Dr. Hush was left beaten and scarred on the pavement. He slowly bled to death as the other two looked up.
Are they really going to attempt climbing through the rubble again? Well if they do, I can always snipe them again. Can’t risk anyone getting out, and it’s not like they’re lives are valuab-
Where did they go?
THUMP.
I was too staff for the Riddler. His fast was thrust into the concrete were my head was a few seconds ago.

“Ohhh… that was a wonderful game you hosted, Scarecrow.” He said, “But now we both know how it ends.”
I grinned. “So attempting to climb the wall before was a decoy, wasn’t it? You guys made me believe it was impossible to get out! How.... thoughtful.” With that I lunged myself at the Riddler fist first. He slapped my right hand away but my left struck him right in the guts. The Riddler gagged as fell on his knees. I kicked him and he flew skidding along the floor, then I grabbed the sniper rifle and aimed it right at his head, in theory he would be dead in a matter of seconds, but I heard a coin flip behind me.
“It’s time for you to go.”

I had completely forgotten about two-face.

I quickly turned just to meet a fist fly right into my face. It broke my nose and I tumbled over the rubble behind me, disturbing the dust which made me sneeze. Blood-filled snot was sprayed all over my arm.

While I was trying to stand up I caught a glimpse of the vengeful Riddler pacing towards me. With a swing of his staff he sent me twisting across the dirt riddled floor.

I was done then.

After constant blows from each opponent, I couldn’t take it anymore. My bones were broken, my skull cracked, it was minutes before I would meet the fate of ol’ Dr. Hush down below. In my haze I could see two-face flip a coin before the Riddler. His face showed discontent, I heard him mutter “You live” before I turned my head to the right.

This is the first time I noticed the room where I had stayed or the last couple days. This was basically the left tier of the fallen warehouse, after the blast it managed to stay standing, with major damage, of course. The wall I leaned against was the outer wall of the left-side of the warehouse. The part where the warehouse collapsed was now a massive window with parts of Gotham and the sea beyond. Below the enormous window was a hole, the same one I used to keep tab on my victims. If I peered intently I could still see the bodies of my fallen enemies.

I took out the farting Batman! Ha! But this is not all. My precious masterwork. For months I had planned a right moment to release this, to release chaos across Gotham as their worst nightmares came true. A plume of gas will envelop Gotham. Batman won't stop it this time. By doing this I’m probably helping both the Riddler and two-face take control of Gotham, but oh well. They got out because of my carelessness.

I’m satisfied. Batman is dead, and Gotham in shambles. What a way to go.

GAME END!
Two-face (Dude) and the Riddler (dsister) tied.

ROLES:

KingFate- Dr. Hush - pro-town. Figured he would side with Batman to get out of the situation alive.

- Doctor
- Recruiter - could recruit two-face by surgically fixing the burnt side of Harvey's face. Harvey would then become pro-town.

dsister- The Riddler - anti-town 3rd party

-Send Riddles to grab information about players. If the player guesses it in time than they would get info.
-Kill/Hide. He would have a 10% chance to kill while hiding. Hiding protects him from night kills.

ScifiBoy - Gordon - pro-town

-Tracker - self-explained
-Self-Watcher - He hid and saw which players would try to target him that night. Doesn't protect from kills.

A Bad Clown - Batman - pro-town vig

-Kick-Ass - He would have a 50% chance to kick someone's ass so bad they would become a vegetable for the game.
- Hide in the shadows -protects from night kills.

Mako - the Joker - anti-town, this game's mafia

-Laughing Gas - Had a 50% chance of killing someone by makin' em laugh to death.
-Recruiter - Recruited two-face. Encouraged Harvey's two-face side to join forces with him.

Duderino - Harvey Dent/Two-Face - 3rd party

-coin flip - had a 50% chance of reversing night actions to the exact opposite.

If became pro-town:

-Coin Flip - see above
-Back-up doctor + 1 shot to 50% kill.

If became anti-town:

-Coin flip - See above
-Mafia Goon + 1 shot to Block

EPILOGUE

28 Days Later.

Two-Face (by now having discarded his Harvey Dent persona) glared at the Riddler who was sitting across the long table.

Gotham's two bosses had fought for nearly a month for control of the ravaged city. Now, they want to have a meeting. Make some deals. Become richer, moire powerful.

But no. Neither party is willing to agree with the other's proposition.

The discussions are getting heated. A fight might brake out at any moment.


TIE-BREAKER START!
You two have the same night actions as before. There's a chance one of you might die or both you will survive again.

Post your night action in the thread to decide who becomes Gotham's ruler.

The showdown will be made public.
