Mafia 21: The Corporate Mafia

[vovan]

Okay, we have the same clues again basically. Green. Plants. Garden. And we still haven't got one Mafia, apparently.

Any way, I am still as lost as ever, so I am going to say Spaced Cowboy. He is the only one I can relate to gardening, because you know, Cowboy, farm, plants. But I suspect that ain't right either. Maybe we should all reread the intro story...

[SnowFire]

Tempting as it would be to have the AI I uploaded into my SMAC computer ask for vengeance against Jon Miller, whom I suspected (and was subsequently killed), it should be noted that the suspiciously helpful help-desker JM has been the main source of info about the phantom. If he was killed and he wasn't the pencils killer (who is also the killer with Kassipoeia's passcode, as a reminder, meaning that once he's done in the game's over, as everybody leaves the building), then we'd have cut off our main source of clues. Well, not we, you. Do what you think best.

Did anybody else see that first season X-Files where they had the similar set-up of a company with a super-automated building whose CEO died and the crazy AI took it over?

[Kassiopeia]

The clues have been murky, but they will get easier as the story progresses. I'm trying to balance this in favour of the Mafia since Mafia wins have been rather rare lately. Striking a balance between "obscure" and "blatantly obvious" isn't easy though.

(who is also the killer with Kassipoeia's passcode, as a reminder, meaning that once he's done in the game's over, as everybody leaves the building)

Why would they reveal the code if caught? You'll need to get all Mafia(s) for a game over, nothing more nothing less.

[SnowFire]

Why would he reveal the code if caught?

Well, everybody who hasn't revealed the code so far has been tossed off the building... that can be a powerful incentive, ya know.

P.S. Kass: I agree about the Mafia winning being difficult. Let me go finish my half-written program to calculate how often the Mafia wins if people vote completely randomly (and the Mafia kills randomly), though I can tell you right now that it's not good. If the clues are helpful, things get even worse, of course. Let 'em squirm.

Well there were no obvious gardening clues in the prologue and I don't read OT threads about gardening, so (no doubt risking my own neck by doing so), I'm going to vote for rah purely on the basis that his ferret is in a garden.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I'm going for Rah as well.

OK, I believe you. But then please explain how did you know the poison used was cyanide and not one of strychnine or arsenic?

There must be some kind of method to all of this.

Sounds like something worth voting for... right rah?

[gjramsey]

I am back to the help desk. Jon Miller

[DarkCloud]

It would be amusing if Rah and Guynmeyer, the two people I voted for were the guilty culprits

[vovan]

It wouldn't be funny at all, because then rah would be mafia two times in a row, and that just isn't cool.

rah

You'd have to ask Kassi, he wrote it.

[gjramsey]

Don't think it's Rah either, very rare to have the same mafia two games in a row, and the garden clues are pretty obvious for the ferret, and Kassi said the clues are still vague at this point.
