Short Stories Mafia Game Thread

[Tamien]

Hey again everyone! Now that the random first day lynch has been abolished (thank god - er THE COIN), how are we going to figure out who to kill? Will we have to - gasp - talk it out??

[epsilonbeta]

Vote BlueSkySprite

for suspected communist inclinations.

[Eva]

Oh, hey, this started. Just confirming that I do indeed have a rolepm and stuff.

[BlueSkySprite]

I am confused?

[DanielH]

Yeah, BlueSkySprite is obviously a capitalist. You are more likely to be a communist.

[pistachi0n]

Vote epsilonbeta

Secret identity as Joseph McCarthy confirmed.

[DanielH]

Are you claiming you’re Joseph McCarthy, and going after epsilonbeta because I pointed out he might be communist, or are you saying that epsilonbeta is Joseph McCarthy and going after him for that? If it’s the first, then I think McCarthy is more necessary to kill than a communist. If it’s the second, then the only way you could confirm epsilonbeta’s secret identity is by having a private communication channel. Either way, you’re a bit suspicious.

Did any of Alicorn’s short stories actually involve McCarthy? Only one is Earthfic, but several of the others contain Earths. I don’t remember McCarthy being relevant in any of them, though.

It seems pretty obvious to me that pistachi0n (and epsilonbeta too for that matter) was being sarcastic/silly. I am fairly certain DanielH also believes that to be the case. Given that, I am awarding DanielH a Jalapeño SuspicionPoint (TM); his post acts to discourage casual posting in the thread, which I believe to be anti-Town because it provides cover for lurking scum.

(I should disclaim that I found DanielH suspicious in Game 1 and decided to kill him off early in Game 2. It is likely that I inherently find his posting style suspicious, therefore, and you should take that into account when evaluating whether you share my suspicion.)

[pistachi0n]

I'm going after epsilonbeta for being McCarthy for going after BlueSkySprite for having suspected communist inclinations.

No, Joseph McCarthy does not show up in any of Alicorn's stories.

I'm just being silly until there's something real to discuss, but I can stop it if it's annoying you or anyone else

*is now tempted to demand a McCarthy AlicornStory if he gets the chance*

Edit: I started editing my previous post (to add the last paragraph) before anyone else had posted. If we are still discouraging editing after intervening posts I apologize for accidentally doing so.
