A Week to Go
Saturday March 15, 2008
It's less than a week to Easter, which means I get to fly back to Auckland to visit my youth group and my parents. It also means our current sprint for work is wrapping up, so I'd better finish all my work!
Today we had a flat barbeque, for no apparent reason whatsoever. But it's always good to have a flat barbeque. At least there wasn't any dancing this time. Rather, we played Mafia! Hooray. We had a twist on the game where we only two of the sheriff, doctor and sniper would be active, but it would be random and no one would know which one had been left out. So it makes it interesting when someone attempts to pass themselves off as something they aren't. Yeah, it was quite intense, but Jono kept making the wrong decisions and I think the Mafia got away with a lot more than they should have.
Oh yeah, as a followup to my last post, the three most common responses to the story have been:
3. Sleeping? And listening to your iPod? Let me note this down
2. So, the bridge you say? I think I'll go check it out some time
1. You said WHAT? You should have said "I'm taken, but here's my friend's number!"

The sniper has a single bullet per game. Each night, he has the choice to use his bullet or not. He can kill anyone he wishes, for whatever reason he sees fit. He is supposed to be a citizen and is supposed to be helping to kill the Mafia, however, there is nothing stopping him from shooting a civilian for no reason whatsoever. Of course, the sniper's bullets can be stopped by the doctor. And the sniper can't target himself.
Now that sounds like it could be fun!
Sniper? I've never heard of that variation. What is his role? A sort of vigilante commoner?
