!! That's a dodgy rule. 3 of them can vote for a townsperson!

Yes, which is why communication between townspeople on this board is integral to the game. Everybody should be playing as a team, not individually.

The only reason the Mafia win when the number of Mafia = the number of non-Mafia is because then the Mafia control the voting process.

All you have to do to win is vote off two more players.

Day 6, Morning

Morning News

Two Mafia members exposed, yet there are no signs they are backing down now. benac's body was found outside Church Green this morning after being ripped to pieces by angry dogs last night. The Sheriff is treating his death as suspicious. The dogs are thought to have been drugged and released onto the poor chap by the two remaining Mafia members.

The Sheriff has asked everyone to come forward with information and not be afraid to speak publicly.

"At this stage, the two Mafia members primary concerns will be for their anonymity, and they will not risk targeting those who speak up out of fears of being exposed" the Sheriff said.

"After all, nothing bad has happened to me" he added.

Question: Are people still interested in completing this game, because I'd hate to think I was doing this for nothing..

I'm waiting for the next round, and I'm sure those that play it enjoy the game. Just out of curiosity, did you write the news bulletins or did you get them off some place?

I wrote them myself, and I'm now running out of ideas being the conventionally uncreative person I am.

I died way too quickly...whoever was responsible for that gets not prize...I have to get in next game!!! :crazy: I'm such a good girl, I think I deserve it :p

I wouldn't have voted you off personally. You definitely deserve another chance. I think all the major players of this game should get first choice in the next game. Wait until this game is complete and then I will be posting the spreadsheet I have created detailing everyone's votes and positions. That should be fun to see..

I think maybe some of the people signed up for the hell of it but then couldn't actually be arsed to do much, hopefully next time everyone will get more involved and work together rather than just guessing and not communicating much with each other.

I think so too, but let's just finish this game shall we first? After all, if this game fails, who will want to dedicate their time to moderating another?

NoOOOo. I died.

Ripped apart by Dogs. Awesome!

I'm interested in seeing the outcome of this game. I'm also Interested in participating in the next game (I'm trying my hardest to participate actively in this one, But works a pain).

NoOOOo. I died.

Tell me about it!

I go to work for one day and all I come back to is a letter that says "your dead."

If your going to participate in the next game of Neowin Mafia, I was considering that an alliance of 4 or 5 or 6 people would help out (It also adds strategy to the game).

I may have over analyzed this game, But it is part of the strategy and makes it much more interesting.

The idea is:

When the "alliance" is settled, those 4 or 5 or 6 people will PM each other what position they hold in the game (This is assuming that the Townspeople/doctor/sheriff are on the same team).

Then based on the majority of what position they hold in the game (Say 3 of the 4 people are townspeople) They will PM each other speculations on who is who and vote in agreement based on what person they want to have eliminated. Part of the agreement of the alliance is that the majority will not vote to eliminate the minority until a later stage in the game (This can be defined more if people decide to join up. Maybe a specific round can be declared "open season" allowing the remaining alliance members to vote each other out).

The minority has the option of working with the members of his position (mafia/towns person/doc/sheriff) to eliminate non-alliance members (In safe haven from the majority) up until the point when "open season" is defined (Then alliance members are open to be eliminated within the alliance).

If it turns out to be a split of 2/2 or 3/3 (Two mafia, Two townspeople if there are 4 alliance members) Then each duo will work with each other to define the outcome as much as possible.

If the alliance is severed:

If a member is clearly eliminated by another member of the alliance before the "open season" round (By clearly I mean, If the minority member remains and systematically the majority seems to be dieing off round after round or vise versa), Then the member will be permanently removed from any future alliances, and or possibly removed by the remaining members next round.

The idea of the alliance is the idea of the game itself, To win (Cheating within the alliance is pointless).

If anyone thinks this is an interesting idea, please let me know.

I didn't bother reading ALL of it, but it sounds fun to me. :D

EDIT:

Neowin News.

The Neowin news is regretfully required to report the untimely death of our venerable moderator, lt-davidw. One of our top reporters, APH-Alex has been elected unanimously by the townsfolk, and surprisingly, the mafia, to be our new moderator. He will also be assuming the place of "Ruler over all of us." The sheriff has had some suspicion that the death of David and the election of Alex was the work of the mafia. However, after some talking with the doctor, and some rectal probing, he was convinced that the mafia was not involved at all. Our town is still not quite safe yet, the mafia have been yet again spotted driving their orange van throughout the night. We have some suspicions that they are in cahoots with an allegedly "dead" SacrificialSoldier. We at the Neowin Times have sent our best investigators out on the case to find out just what the mafia is up to now.

In related news, it seems that Astro Zombie has won the lottery. Congratulations to her, she is now elligible to be selected for a draw to win one million dollars.

David wanted out... JK

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
