Chemical Element Mafia - (Join the Final Discussion!)

[Mgm]

GAME OVER!

Once upon a time in a laboratory not so far from here, was a scientist who had managed to isolate single atoms. He put the 15 atoms of the elements he was able to isolate in a erlenmeyer flask, closed it off and placed it in a fume hood for safe keeping.

What he didn't know was that some of these elements were destructive. They'd stop at nothing before they killed every single good-willed element in the flask...

Living Elements (7/15 left, in order of sign-up):
2)MadMax (MM)
4)Internet Stranger (IS)
5)Legend of Tenshi (LoT)
7)Long Feng (LF)/Dragon Phoenix (DP)
11)Paige
12)Fuldu
13)Barbarian

The Dead (8/15):
1)Porro - Found in bits and pieces, night 1 - Copper (Cu) townie.
15)DMTsurel (DMT) replaced by sweetwater - spliced, day 1 - Sodium (Na) mafia.
9)Vegetable (Veg) - radiation poisoning, twilight day 1 - Calcium (Ca) townie.
3)referee (ref) - suffocated, night 2 - Uranium (U) serial killer.
10)xer0x - kicked out of the erlenmeyer, day 2 - Hydrogen (H) townie
6)Andrew Sullivan - suffocated, night 3 - Silver (Ag) Mason.
14)Darkblade (DB) - kicked out of the erlenmeyer, day 3 - Mercury (Hg) mafia GF.
8)Porro2 (replacing MacadamiamaN (Mac)) - kicked out, day 4 - Chlorine (Cl) mafia.


Rules (stolen and edited):

Nights will last about 3 days. Please always send in night choices as fast as possible. I will not hunt you down. You don't choose- you don't get. Simple as that.

If days are lasting to long and/or there is a lack in discussion then I will impose a deadline. If discussion picks up I may extend the deadline. Or if several people email a request to extend the deadline I may or may not do so- depending on how I'm feeling.

Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.

I prefer you unvote, before casting a new vote (though not mandatory). Please specify who you are unvoting, this helps me in counting the votes and sometimes it helps other players as well.

Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. When a deadline passes without a majority vote no lynching will be done.

You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.

The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.

Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing ANY relavent information.

Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts

Don’t quote any messages from me. You are liable to get mod-killed if you do.

Night choices are due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me I will make a choice for you, which might result you being quite unhappy

If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

I should post a vote count, ever so often, maybe every page or every alternate one. Please feel free to request one should you deem it necessary.

If you have any questions, you can email me. Don't ask in the thread. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, and with the best explanation I can give you.

I am always right, but not always accurate. If I've made a mistake, please tell my by email as soon as possible. If you try to notify me in thread, I'll have to to edit your post and you will most likely be mod-killed.

If I'm going to be unavailable for a long period of time, I'll post that information.

As morning dawns and light in the fume hood turns on, bits and pieces of Porro are discovered all over the Erlenmeyer flask. On the floor of his 'corner' of the flask, you find a small pool of water... He was Copper... no not 'a' copper. He was the element copper (Cu), a simple townie.

It's 14 alive, 8 to lynch.

[Leonidas]

...you mean copper was not a cop?

(resumes lurking)

[Long Feng]

Too bad for Porro, but things could have been worse.

vote Xer0x

Random, pure random.

[Legend of Tenshi]

vote Leonidas

Stop lurking

------------------
I'm looking for a good sig, wanna help?

[MadMax]

Legend of T; I beleive Leo was joking, not lurking.

I can't beleive someone killed Porro.
Whom can I be a thorn to now?

[Internet Stranger]

Vote: MadMax

I volunteer, draw your sword.

[MadMax]

IS;

Accepted with sword drawn.
Vote IS........on guard!
Really just a vote returned.
When reaon occurs I will remove it.

[Fuldu]

Leonidas was almost certainly joking rather than lurking, since he's not actually a participant in this game.

random vote: DMTsurel

[Andrew Sullivan]

i hereby randomly
vote: Darkblade

[DMTsurel]

Vote: Madmax
If we can't trust IS, who can we trust?

Just to say I am still here...
FOS Legend of Tenshi
Far to kill a joker is like... like... like what? hmmmz lets think this through more carefully

Random vote: Fuldu

[Barbarian]

That was "far to anxious"

[MacadamiamaN]

So, a random vote with a "because". Seems suspicious to me...

[Vegetable]

Vote DMTSurel for being the first to put 2 votes on someone, and because i know he's going to lurk.

[Internet Stranger]

I never said I was nice though, so I will leave my vote and torture you some more. Besides, I seem to have picked up blind followers again, cant dissapoint them.

[MadMax]

As you like it mate.......correction 1 follower with 2 votes.

REVOTE IS

[Internet Stranger]

Youre so mean.

[Darkblade]

Vote: referee

Come on. People constantly give garbage votes in the beginning. Trying to make conclusions from a gag random vote seems a bit suspicious.

[Legend of Tenshi]

I think we should try to lynch Leo. It would be a new record, first mafia game to lynch someone not actually playing

[Internet Stranger]

Someone take the plunge and pile on votes before this game dies. Start giving people second and third votes please.

[xer0x]

What, I'm innocent, don't vote me! =p

Random Day One vote: Barbarian. Might as well remove the uncivilised elements of the population.

[Barbarian]

xerOx you didn't! How dare you vote innocent people into exile!
Strike on unvote Fuldu , vote xerOx

[DMTsurel]

Vegt, you suck.

[Paige]

unvote:LongFeng

Vote:xerOx
For the uncivilized comment. "Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends...."" Can't we all just get along? "

Yes, I am cheesy. Ultimately.

[Paige]

sorry that should be
xer0x.

And IS that would be a 3rd vote.

[Paige]

Sorry but I was just looking over the mods first post again.
It said that there were atoms looking to kill every LIVING atom right?

Is this distinguishing us into organic and inorganic

[DMTsurel]

Don't be a nitpick.

------------------
6.4 woof!

[Internet Stranger]

Bandwagon!

Unvote: Madmax
Vote: Xer0x

[Mgm]

Paige (and other players): Please note the change I've made to my first post. I suppose killing an element implicates it's alive in the first place...

Unvote IS

[Paige]

Ah, ok I see.
No, in my head I do not suppose that in that way. I was just thinking ok remember element chart, remember the chemical store room is broken down into many parts. Some parts are organic and inorganic chemicals.
We will be studying specifically organic chemistry for the interaction of carbon and oxygen etc in living organisms and how they combine with etc to make and provide etc.

So yeah.

But single good willed element is a cute way to put it!

(Though personally I wouldn't have put 15 atoms so randomly(seemingly whatever he could isolate) into a flask...and I don't know how the fume hood helps if it's closed. I mean if he had isolated them and closed the flask all while using the fume hood (specially designed, one of the cooler models that allow such) I could see the purpose. But uhm...Im going to be quiet now, because Im thinking about the radioactive elements now and about reactions (which would then make the fume hood sort of needed, if it were to at some point crack etc. )

aaaahhhhh!!! someone stop me


Oh, I just saw the "don't nitpick" post.
Well that thought would have come in handy if it turned out to be important. But now I know it isn't for sure, but was just a thing.

Well, I had just been hoping this game would have depth in real chemistry is all. Not just element names.

oh no...just re read the death scene...:breathe:

yea I will just play and stop noticing things.
bye

[Paige]

Oh wow, 5 on xer0x.
And a claim has been asked for.
Has anyone any thoughts on what we could be looking for here?
Is xer0x claiming with an element name or a role/ability/etc?
What is going to help us decipher the claim?

There are over 100 elements and well people are finding new ones from time to time. And there are tons of ways to group them if you want.

The more I think about it the more I wonder if claims help at all.
Is there something more we can work with? Something I am overlooking?
