The Dead Zone Mafia, Mafia Wins

The guests sit down to dinner. They had each won an essay writing contest sponsored by Horror writer Stephen King. They had to explain which character from the television show The Dead Zone was there favorite and why. There had been tens of thousands of entries and only one entry was picked for each character.

Here you are now one of the chosen few, sitting down to dinner with Stephen King himself at the welcoming party he is throwing at his Maine estate for the winners before the start of the grand prize, a Dead Zone themed weekend that will be attended by the actors who played your favorite characters.

Dinner is over and you all go off to bed, after all tomorrow is going to be a big day. There was a major storm during the night and you hardly slept at all between the thunder and anticipation. You head on down to the dining room for breakfast.



Good morning everyone, I hope you had a good night’s sleep. I regret to inform you that the bridge is out; it seems it was swept away in
the storm. Sadly this means that the cast will not be able to get here. The lights suddenly go out and there is a loud roar of thunder and a bolt of lightning illuminates the room. The lights quickly come back on but you decide it’s better to be safe and hand out flashlights to all the guests only something is wrong. As you give the last of the guests a flashlight you realize there isn’t one left for you. “This is strange, there were only supposed to be the x of you and I had enough flashlights for myself and each of you. It appears someone has crashed the party.” Before Mr. King can elaborate the lights go out again, only this time they stay out for several minutes. When the lights come back on you see Mr. King covered in blood, dead from multiple stab wounds. There is a note written in almost illegible writing.

 

“Welcome to The Dead Zone. By now you have probably begun to notice that things are not quite right. No matter for worry, I simply drugged last night’s meal. I’m sorry I had to kill Mr. King but he said I was not important enough for the contest, so nobody wrote letters for me. It’s time to play a little game, were going to see just how well you know your favorite characters. You have to figure out who I am before I kill all of you. The lights are set to go out again in 1 hours’ time, at which point I will kill again. We will keep playing this little game until you are all dead, good luck.”

 

Panic starts to spread until Reverend Purdy stands up and calls for calm. Wait Reverend Purdy, but he’s a fictional character. He seems to be making sense so you decide to go with it. The group all agrees with his plan, you will work together to find the killer before time runs out. People start making wild accusations about each other before Greg Stillson calls for quite; at this point fictional characters are the least of your concern. He suggests that we vote on whom to kill, surprisingly Johnny agrees with him.

If I had it my way I would lynch him right now.

 

That made me laugh.

 

Vote: No-Lynch

funny thing is that it's actually true

Vote Shepard

If I had it my way I would lynch him right now.

 

Vote iSocialism 

 

Everything you say a townie might do you do, and whatever a scum might do, you seem to be trying to avoid doing. So either you're your own ideal townie or non-ideal scum.

iSocialism used one of my quotes so I used one of his. 

I never actually meant to say townies in the context of this game, we're guests to a dinner?

Vote: iSoc

Screw it I'm joining the band wagon of scum.

Ha what do you think of that?

- Not only did I change my vote within a day, I hopped on the band wagon, plus I voted for myself.

Holy random in a box..

 

 

And killgor: OP says it takes 9 to lynch.

Unvote: No-Lynch

 

That was a vote to avoid the accusation that there's "something different" about my style.

 

Now for some real analysis.

 

We have 16 players. I'm going to guess 4 scum.

First a scum lynch candidate needs to be proposed (4/16ths probability).

Scum will not get on a bandwagon against one of their own.

So we need 9 of 12 townies to agree on the 1 scum lynch candidate to be successful.

This is very unlikely.

 

Alternatively, a townie lynch candidate gets proposed (12/16ths probability).

A few scum will join the bandwagon and we might be successful in getting up to the 9 votes required to lynch.

But then we have a dead townie and not much knowledge about which of the lynchers were well-intentioned townies and which were scum.

 

So considering the situation, the best course of action for a townie is ...

 

Vote: No-Lynch
