Mafia XXV: Action Movie Badasses Game Thread Day 6

[[M] Helo]

I only ask that you all think it through before you just knee-jerk

CREAAAAAAK

What is that, you ask? That is the sound of of my knee jerking. It is jerking right in your face.

Look, Jason, you've done well. You got the Bodyguard and the Cop thrown under the bus for you. Fantastic job, really. I can only applaud. And now I appreciate you have to put on a little song and dance number but enough is enough, this is a farce and you need to get lynched.

I mean, really? Vin Diesel? A path of no resistance. A quiet inactive who has contributed sweet smurf all. You can easily slap a vote on that fellow and ride that 'til the end of the day. Well... there's been a change. There is going to be some resistance. A troutload of it, if you want to know. So you might want to knock that little outlet on the head before you get started

You're not the only one on your team so I'm going to have a little bit of fun finding out them before I vote. May as well use today to line up the rest of your boys. And remember, NO SLACKING!

By the way, mafia

kill me.

double dare you.

[[M] Helo]

So, to catch a mafia. Oh yeah, I should probably point out I'm Official Town Leader now. Don't like it? Awesome. I'll make you like it. I'm a very persuasive man. I like rockets and also trips to the beach.

Let me pose a question to you all. You're a member of the mafia. Suddenly, a cop claims guilty on a friend of yours? What do you do...?

You panic and slap a vote on your friend because HEY HEY HEY I'M NOT WITH HIM OKAY I'M DIFFERENT

Before the claim:

5 [M] Sigourney Weaver : [M] Jet Li, [M] Dwayne Johnson, [M] Will Smith, [M] Nicolas Cage, [M] Sigourney Weaver

0 [M] Jason Statham : [M] Sigourney Weaver

Aaaaaaand after it:

1 [M] Sigourney Weaver : [M] Jet Li, [M] Dwayne Johnson, [M] Will Smith, [M] Nicolas Cage, [M] Sigourney Weaver

6 [M] Jason Statham : [M] Sigourney Weaver, [M] Arnold Schwarzenegger, [M] Jet Li, [M] Nicolas Cage, [M] Uma Thurman, [M] Sylvester Stallone

1 [M] Dwayne Johnson : [M] Jason Statham

13 hours, 48 minutes.

there's your troutlist right there kids. Mmm mmm mmm.

[[M] Apollo]

Well, for starters, I can't just put my vote on someone and wait until the end of the day, because I have to switch votes to get awarded a part at night. And that's hardly what I've been doing this entire time.

But, you're right, you have been a defenseless target since Weaver, Jackson, Willis and myself have been destroying ourselves without you needing to step in. Those days will be over now, but my opinion hasn't changed.

##Unvote: Arnold
##Vote: Diesel

[[M] Helo]

Ah yes, Vin Diesel has indeed not stepped in. There might be a little reason why Vin Diesel only made 6 posts or something and is now speaking up in a very different way. You're a lad of reasonable intelligence. Can you guess what it might be? CHOO CHOO! I'm a TRAIN now!

[[M] Apollo]

So where were you those other days, Vin? Lying low because you're scared your schtick will get you voted out too early? You think you can just step in and take over with your 10th post? I admire your attempts to deflect any further suspicion on your part and to create general confusion, but I hope you don't expect us to all automatically buy it since you've literally done nothing at all so far.

[[M] Helo]

Where was I, or where was Vin Diesel? I was not in the game. I'm brand new. And yes, I do think I can just step in and take over, thanks for asking. That's how I roll.

As for my schtick, bravo sir, bravo. Except my schtick doesn't get me voted out. It gets me night killed. Nobody votes me out because I'm the one true face of GOD himself in mafia form. MMMM mmmm MMMM.

Where was Vin Diesel? Well, let me put it this way. If you lynched Vin Diesel today, it'd say "Vin Diesel was like totes some kind of town role mean lookit all dis GREEN, yo! and was played by "PERSON XYZ" and you'd be "ahh, PERSON XYZ, of course, that is how they always play." and you'd pretend to feel bad for your mistake.

by the way, consider this post a roleclaim I am 39% serious on that.

[[M] Apollo]

Oh I do get it. The mafia lost a member so they called up the big guns. I totally get that part. What I don't get is why you're doing this. Sure, you'll get me, because I've been trying to make sense of this for 4 days and you're the fresh body, and maybe that's all you came to do. But after I go, then what?

I'd love this to end up as one of our classic battles, but seriously, I'm tired. As you may have been observing, this town is very confused, and making sense of it has been hard. I'd rather just find the rest of the mafia, and while I'm more convinced that you're one of them, I still don't know for sure. But maybe keeping you talking will help tip the scales.

So let's assume I'm exactly what I say I am. What would that mean? Even if you are 99% or 100% convinced that I'm scum, entertain me, as one hot leading man to another.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

First of all, smurf off Vin Diesel, I'm in charge. You don't bark orders at me mothersmurfer. I've been kicking asses since you were a cub scout.

Second of all, all of you smurf right off of Vin Diesel. Voting after low-activity players is all well and good but we have way more suspicious people to deal with than Vin Diesel. The next person who bandwagons on Vin Diesel is going to get an ugly surprise.

Where is Nicolas Cage and where is Will Smith? Get your asses in here.

##Vote: Sylvester Stallone

[[M] Helo]

Keep me talkin', huh? Well... I don't think you need to expend any effort to achieve that. It's shutting me up that's the tricky part

Still, your usual tactic is "do not engage", how intriguing that you are making a point to show you are doing the opposite. [QUOTE='[M] Jason Statham;3238862']

So let's assume I'm exactly what I say I am. What would that mean? Even if you are 99% or 100% convinced that I'm scum, entertain me, as one hot leading man to another.

You got bus drivered or framed, the town is monumentally smurfed and we may as well roll around in our own excrement until the mafia kill us all painfully.

The fact is, though, you're a blight on this town, whether you are mafia or not. Every day the lynch is going to be clouded with "DO WE LYNCH STATHAM OR NOT" and it's going to drag on and on. It already has the past couple of days and look what happened. Tactically, I think it'd be best if Thurman shot you. Sentimentally, though, I want to see you swing. Again. Besides, Thurman won't pull the trigger on you. Twice she's had you in the noose and then backed down. And the Cop told her to plug you... yet she wouldn't. Aint that a thang.

Yes sir.

Where is Nicolas Cage and where is Will Smith? Get your asses in here.

##Vote: Sylvester Stallone

Now we're talking.

[[M] Apollo]

I can certainly agree that I have been a blight on the town, but most of that hasn't really been my fault. I don't see that as a viable reason to lynch me, though, since a townie dead is a townie dead, and my role can actually be useful. Suggesting you get me 'out of the way' is such a brushoff move that doesn't change my opinion of you.

In other news, here's something else that bugged me:

The obvious vote is to vote for Jason as he turned up guilty and Weaver was confirmed to be the cop. So let it be done.

##Vote: Jason Statham

Such a simple, straightforward post. Cop got guilty, cop got killed, so vote guilty. Thing is, nothing in this game has been straightforward. We have bizarre day governor roleblockers, roles with weird stipulations, and a night with a mafia death and no other. Eastwood doesn't even care about any of this. This behavior has been typical for him, always taking things at face value and not digging deeper. Reminds me a little bit of how Arnold behaves as well.

[[M] Apollo]

Forgot this:

##Unvote: Diesel
##Vote: Eastwood

[[M] Helo]

by the way

Clint Eastwood

I know who the smurf you are after you posted with your real account

And I haven't forgotten what you did in Mafia IV all those years ago and why you did it to me.

Do you remember what happened after I died? I replaced back in, in a very bad mood.

Don't repeat old mistakes, eh? Live and let live.

[[M] Apollo]

And that's all I can muster for now. Wish there was more I could do, but my wife is more important than you guys. If you were going to do this, Vin, I wish it would have been earlier.

Town: Don't take Vin at face value. That's all I ask. He could have good things to say, but he has his own motives for saying them. He's done nothing up until this point and in no way has the right to 'take over' this game. If he's good he can be an asset, but don't assume that, despite what he wants you to do.

I understand that the deck is stacked against me but I am telling the truth in everything I have said in this game. Crazy things have happened here and I've been a victim of most of them. While I don't have a lot of time tomorrow due to outside obligations, I will try to show up in the morning and give a recap of everything that I think has happened up until this point.

Good night town!
