Omertà: A small Mafia [Concluded]

[White_eyes:D]

I also WOULD not vote CB......if Khaan's ability was the same as mine......he is cleared:smoking:

(I also am curious as to WHY the "DON":rolleyes: would defend ATPG.....he is not his "Wise guy"....I.E. he doesn't work for him directly....:inquisitive:)

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll give you a hint... the Don saw me as a threat and so he had his men check me out. It turns out the real detective found me to be a loyal person, which contradicts your false claim to be the detective and your fake guilty result. I'm half tempted to whack you anyway... there's people on the inside of that prison who would be willing to do a lot for a carton or two of cigarettes. :smoking:

[FactionHeir]

:laugh4:

He knows why. :stare:

English song indeed. :no:

Unvote: Beefy, Vote: FactionHeir

For thinking im some type of big shot.

That's what the writeup suggests anyway. And if you are, then you should be protected at night.

[pevergreen]

:shrug: Kay.

I can simply 'borrow' the safehouse for a night. I chose last night. I hid all night.

[FactionHeir]

I'm going to vote: Tratorix for lurking

Tally:

FactionHeir (navarro, pevergreen)
Blackadder (AVSM, Northnovas, ATPG)
Greyblades (Sasaki)
ATPG (Blackadder)
Tratorix (Factionheir)

Not voting: Greyblades, Beefy, Tratorix, atheotes, splitpersonality

[atheotes]

AVSM, is the vote on blackadder just a hunch or is there any other information? voting on ATPG after the Don say he is confirmed innocent doesnt look innocent...

Vote: Captain Blackadder

[Askthepizzaguy]

It also doesn't look too smart for a traitor to do. He also didn't seem to care that his mistake could have disastrous results. But here, we have a lurky lou showing up to put a finishing vote on Blackadder. How soft a target do you have to get? You posted earlier and waited until now to vote. Trying to make sure your vote wasn't controversial?

Methinks we kill atheotes.


unvote, vote: atheotes



Tally:


Blackadder 3 (AVSM, Northnovas, atheotes)

[GeneralHankerchief]

As an FYI, I'll be ending this round an hour or so early tonight. The Lost finale starts at the usual time I'd end things. I love you guys, but unfortunately I love Lost more. So you have a little over 4 hours left. :yes:

[Tratorix]

The Don says ATPG was confirmed innocent, thats good enough for me. For this round, at least. :beam:

Vote: Captain Blackadder

He's lurking more than his usual self. And I don't like the last minute bandwagon to spare him. Tratorix can die next round if it's such a priority.

Your saying that pevergreen and I are mafia, and that tratorix voting to save himself from lynch is more suspicious than blackadder not voting to save himself?

Let's lynch tratorix.

[Tratorix]

Your saying that pevergreen and I are mafia, and that tratorix voting to save himself from lynch is more suspicious than blackadder not voting to save himself?

Let's lynch tratorix.

That's a bad idea. Just sayin'.

[Askthepizzaguy]

pevergreen is pevergreen. Your status hasn't been confirmed, though. Neither has split's status been confirmed.

And Blackadder not voting to save himself might be explained by the fact that he hasn't been online since serious voting took place against him.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That's a bad idea. Just sayin'.

Now you're softclaiming a power role ~:rolleyes:

[Tratorix]

Now you're softclaiming a power role ~:rolleyes:

Ask the Don. ~:rolleyes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll do that. Your status hasn't been confirmed either Tratorix, from what I know.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

pevergreen is pevergreen. Your status hasn't been confirmed, though. Neither has split's status been confirmed.

And Blackadder not voting to save himself might be explained by the fact that he hasn't been online since serious voting took place against him.

You just got finished accusing atheotes of turning up to put the lynching vote on blackadder, and now you're turning around saying blackadder us suspicious because we tied it up.

[Tratorix]

I'll do that. Your status hasn't been confirmed either Tratorix, from what I know.

That's because you don't know everything. :beam:

Fos: Factionheir and Sasaki

[Askthepizzaguy]

You just got finished accusing atheotes of turning up to put the lynching vote on blackadder, and now you're turning around saying blackadder us suspicious because we tied it up.

Atheotes is on my short list of suspects for lurking and "safe" bandwagoning. But the sudden bandwagon out of nowhere on Tratorix also smells funny.

I reserve the right to change my mind at a moment's notice when I see suspicious people acting strangely.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That's because you don't know everything.

There's been a few to many people claiming to be confirmed innocents. Especially since you weren't ahead in the voting, and claiming as such seems like it would put a target on your head.




I reserve the right to change my mind at a moment's notice when I see suspicious people acting strangely.

I reserve the right to be addressed as "The Awesome One" at all times :driver:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well, The Awesome One, since you've been so fantastically right about my guilt, but I am feeling generous I will propose another ill-fated compromise;

We lynch Blackadder today and Tratorix tomorrow. That clears two lurkers out.

[Tratorix]

[navarro951]

I kinda have to disagree, I think it is more sound that one of the stoolies will be active, it gives himself a chance to make us look the other way or to be influenced on lynching others.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Okay, turns out I was mistaken about when Lost proper starts. Therefore, the round will end at the usual time (+/- 2 hours).

[Askthepizzaguy]

I kinda have to disagree, I think it is more sound that one of the stoolies will be active, it gives himself a chance to make us look the other way or to be influenced on lynching others.

I'm not saying that one of the active players (such as Sasaki) couldn't be one of the stoolies. What I am saying though is that there's typically a lurking member of a "mafia" team and I note that there could be some attempts to spare him.

[pevergreen]

There are three confirmed innocents, one being me (:grin2:) one being the Don and the other one hasn't been named in public yet :shrug:

Beefy is probably innocent, and ATPG might be, according to the don.

But what do I know? I'm only getting second hand info.

[A Very Super Market]

Tratorix is innocent. One of the first investigated, really. If you are going to lynch someone for lurking, Blackadder has not been investigated, and is fair game.

[Splitpersonality]

Vote: Blackadder

Trust the Don I suppose...

[A Very Super Market]

I love being so matter-of-fact. Even my avatar looks like it.

Not my URL avatar, though.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well now I feel better about possibly surviving tonight :sweatdrop:

[pevergreen]

Unvote: Tratorix, Vote: Splitpersonality

Shouldn't trust anybody.

:grin2:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think this is the second time I've voted to protect a cleared innocent, Don Giampetro.

Can I murder Sasaki now? :bounce: He's ever so wrong about who must live and who must die.

[A Very Super Market]

Sasaki is a misunderstood soul.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think I will prevent any further misunderstandings...

*points gun at Sasaki's head*

[Northnovas]

Remember its not Sasaki it's the Awesome One. :jester:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Can I murder Sasaki now? :bounce: He's ever so wrong about who must live and who must die.

The irony... :beam:

These detective results are troubling...it's not standard for the detective to be able to privately reveal in these games, which makes me think there's a twist somewhere.

[Splitpersonality]

I shouldn't trust our Don?

I think I should, he knows who he wants done away with, why not follow him?

[Askthepizzaguy]

He will be a lot less awesome with his guts splattered all over the pavement. I just want to paint my doghouse with his brains. With your permission of course, honorable Don. Just say the word... my trigger finger itches so badly... don't deprive me of my greatest pleasure.

:smoking:

[Tratorix]

The irony... :beam:

These detective results are troubling...it's not standard for the detective to be able to privately reveal in these games, which makes me think there's a twist somewhere.

I agree. My guess is the detective is really a cop or somesuch. Or the Don will turn out to be the traitor somehow. Or it will turn out the cops weren't arresting us... they were the ones being arrested... by aliens! :idea2:

[A Very Super Market]

Damn You got me. Better lynch me now.

[FactionHeir]

These detective results are troubling...it's not standard for the detective to be able to privately reveal in these games, which makes me think there's a twist somewhere



For now, Don Anthony Giampetro is the only role that is guaranteed to be on the mafia's (town's) side


Possibly, but then again it would be rather odd for a person with investigative powers to be anti-town.
Its kind of like BG's reveal in Swords of the Moon. You couldn't be sure if he was bluffing or if he was for real, but for the time being, while we still have enough people alive, its worth the risk (again...)

unvote Tratorix, vote Blackadder

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Unvote:Tratorix
Vote:Greyblades

[FactionHeir]

I see your point. Greyblades hasn't posted at all this phase and was last active before the deadline yesterday. I wouldn't place more than a FoS on it for now though - he hasn't had the chance to post or read today's debate.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting closed.

[Beefy187]

I would've voted Captain Blackadder

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day 3

Three days in and the discussion grew very animated. This was a good sign for Don Giampetro, as it proved his men were finally taking an active interest in their (and his) survival. However, another thing was made clear: This family was quite fractured. The Don's notorious penchant for tiers and secrecy was coming back to bite him, as there was much disconnect between himself, his inner circle, and the rest of the men.

"A little more clarity would be nice," he muttered to himself, but he refused to budge and make his structure open for all to see. After all, that would mean almost instant arrest.

Eventually, his thoughts shifted elsewhere, and before long Steven Gargano (Captain Blackadder) was named as the Stoolie among them. Gargano gulped, sweating more and more profusely as the discussion went on. He didn't want to die. Not like this. Not yet. Not with his honor and service so sullied.

Nevertheless, despite Gargano's pleas, it was not to be. "You disgust me," the Don said after a while, evidently sick of the whimpering. "First you betray my family, now you insult our collective intelligence by denying everything? Rocco! Moose! Get this guy out of my sight, I never want to see him again!"

The Don's bodyguards obliged, and everybody watched in silence as the two men dragged Gargano out of the room, pleading for mercy. They heard a door open, some shoving, and it shut. Before the engine turned on and they heard the sound of the car driving off, they heard one final tortured scream.

It was the final imprint a living Steven Gargano would make on the Earth.

Day 3 tally:

Captain Blackadder: 6 (AVSM, Northnovas, atheotes, Tratorix, ATPG, FH) :skull:
FactionHeir: 1 (navarro)
Tratorix: 1 (Split)
Split: 1 (pevergreen)

Night 4

"Hi there, all you third-shifters, techheads, late-nighters, insomniacs, vampires, drunk people, or otherwise and welcome to my shift here at WBBG FM, the old Ninety-Seven Point One. Taking you through the hour of witches and beyond is me, Mister O. R. Milton, the Godfather of Get-Down-And-Boogie. I've got some old tracks spinning for you this misty night, including an old tune from the one and only Big Bopper, but first, a little something from Ella Fitzgerald entitled-" The radio abruptly turned off.

"Hey, I was listening to that!" said one cop in the car. "It's not too often that we're in range to get Shore stations!"

"Stuff it," said the other. "Besides, we're still on duty. We need to have the police radio on in case something comes up."

The first cop sighed. "Yeah, I suppose..."

The car drove on into the night, this time without the soothing tones of Ella or the Big Bopper to pass the time by. They were going way out of their way, but this was a special assignment. The boss back at the station was pretty sure he'd found the safehouse. This could be a big bust tonight.

The target, as before, was Vito Fillari (pevergreen), although this time, the cops were pretty sure that they wouldn't be walking into an empty house as they had reliable information that he'd be here. As the car pulled over at the designated address, the cops gave the house a once-over. Yep, there were definitely signs of habitation. Cars in the driveway, a single light on... there would be somebody in here.

Unfortunately for them, the cops were in a situation that was completely different from the following night, going from too few people in the house to too many. As if on cue, silhouettes appeared in all of the windows facing the street. Silhouettes with guns. One of them made the motion, and a single, silenced shot fired. It crashed through the police car's window and a second later, sparks flew everywhere from inside the car. The mafia had taken out the car's radio.

Another signal, and the guns were now trained on the two officers. Realizing this signal for what it was, both men did an about-face and drove back to the city in silence, for now they couldn't listen to Ella or the Bopper even if they wanted to.

Meanwhile, back in the city, another car was on the prowl. Its target was not so difficult as its friend's, as George Marzano (Northnovas) had a particular routine this time of night. He would go to his favorite bar, get progressively drunker as his Phillies played later on in the game, and then once it was over, would stumble into the strip joint next door to either celebrate or be consoled, depending on how the team did.

The girls liked Marzano, of course. They knew about his connections, yes, and figured that after a good weeks' worth of wet work he needed to blow off some steam, as well as cash. His being already beyond buzzed by the time he came helped with that matter, as did the team's success. During their postseason run last fall, he had on occasion dropped C-notes after wins.

Now, though, the team was mediocre. And George was even drunker as a result. The damn pitching just couldn't hold together. The team had the best infield in the majors, Ibanez was a powerhouse in left field... argh. This was supposed to be a dynasty! Instead, they couldn't even beat the stupid Mets so far.

George knew the Don didn't like public drunkenness; it was unbecoming of a gentleman of the Catalano outfit. But George didn't care - this was a soul-sucking business and the liquor was the only thing that kept him going. As the years went on, he indulged more and more, perhaps to keep up with the years that this business took from him in the first place.

This particular night, George was so drunk as he stumbled out of the stripper joint to head home that he could barely comprehend his Miranda rights being read to him as he was thrown into the police car, under arrest for racketeering and first-degree murder.

Later that day, Don Giampetro, with an even grimmer expression on his face now that another man had been taken in, called another meeting. Not one to mince words, the Don quickly told his remaining men the situation and ordered them to discuss and vote, as usual.

This round will be extended until Sunday night, Eastern time. I apologize for the slow pace of the game recently, but I'll be out of town for most of the weekend. Good luck! :yes:

[navarro951]

sigh*...GH is makin this one tough I cant get a single clue as to who the stoolie is. makes for great gameplay tho. We need some chatter my fellow mafioso. The don could be next.

[Splitpersonality]

Are you saying you'd be taking the Don out as soon as you can, stoolie?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Blackadder and northnovas should be removed from the active list.

Vote:Greyblades

[A Very Super Market]

Ack! Oh noes! The stoolies are going to come after me! Me, the don revealed before the game even started, will be targeted after 4 nights of nothing happening!

[navarro951]

Are you saying you'd be taking the Don out as soon as you can, stoolie?

no im saying were losing time and whoever it is is gonna nail all of us. They will get the don sometime! Dont put words in my mouth STOOLIE!

[A Very Super Market]

What keeps them from targetting me, Navarro? Hmm?

[Greyblades]

The fact that you have the entire mob as bodyguards?

I'm sorry that I havent been posing much but I have exams, PPL' lessons, 3 mafia's and my own game in the works to keep up that are sucking up all my attention doesnt help that my replacement laptop lags when I try to load a new webpage.

So you don't object to us lynching you?

[Greyblades]

Honestly? Not realy, lynch away if it makes you happy. I could use the spare time to figure out what the heck Indonesia could count as war goals during the cold war game anyway.

[navarro951]

What keeps them from targetting me, Navarro? Hmm?

Well Greyblades is right, you have all of us to take the fall before you do. Look im no snitch okay i am one of the most loyal soldiers youve got, but if it makes you happy to continue on getting the wrong guy, which it seems we have been doing, then be my guest.

[A Very Super Market]

Well, I don't understand the point of telling me that I'm at risk, when you already think I can't be touched.

So what exactly is the case against me other than me doing analysis? Just navarro's groveling?

Rather scummy for everyone to just jump on the bandwagon without actual reason.

If the Don wishes it though, I will happily die.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Good. Happily die, then.

[A Very Super Market]

Hmm? I don't care if you die, really. I'm not going to vote for you though, since I haven't got any information on you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Damn. If FactionHeir is loyal to the Don, he wins the most unappreciated henchman award. :laugh4:

[A Very Super Market]

He probably is innocent, but since no one can possibly stop his lynching now, I can't do anything but sit back and give my apologies if he is loyal.

[navarro951]

He probably is innocent, but since no one can possibly stop his lynching now, I can't do anything but sit back and give my apologies if he is loyal.

I have to admit, i am mostly going off the gut here, something about the way he worded his posts bothers me. Also, he has been sort of in and out, only coming in to defend himself. This is a standards "mafia" trait...i.e. Stoolie is all i can come down to.

(I have to admit, in Council of Villians i did this and it worked for a while until i was finally discovered and lynched. It doesnt make you a lurker and at times your unsuspected cuz ppl forget your posts. But i know that trick.)

[Splitpersonality]

Are you saying the don isa stoolie? :confused:

[navarro951]

Are you saying the don isa stoolie? :confused:

No, he is not being attacked, so no need to come in to defend himself. And right now all of us can take the fall so he has a bit of time. But i do think a little defense here and there to keep yourself going is a sign of "mafia".

[Splitpersonality]

So who's defending themself like that? (If you mean me i'm honestly ignorant to my own posting style lol)

[Northnovas]

You know I am in the big house getting three squares a day and won't get bail but after my posting before the night I would have a heavy FOS on Faction Heir.

[pevergreen]

Eh yes, because most of you are American and there is a time difference. I.e. when you post, I'm sleeping so I can hardly defend myself.
Of course there is also the good part of the day that I spend offline playing games on weekends.

[A Very Super Market]

Oh boy, now they're all sleeping and doing stuff as well. You can't possibly be saved.

[FactionHeir]

So who is still left as target anyway?

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm back, and voting will end in a couple of hours. :yes:

[FactionHeir]

Just so I at least vote.

vote: Greyblades

Tally:
FactionHeir: 5 Sasaki, navarro, ATPG, pever, Beefy
Greyblades: 2 Tratorix, FactionHeir

Not voting: AVSM, Split, atheotes

Day/Night Analysis:
N1: Beefy targeted, role unknown
D1: no lynch
N2: White Eyes killed, role: Capo
D2: Khaan lynched, role: Capo
N3: pever targeted, role: Consigliere/Underboss
D3: Blackadder lynched, role: Made
N4: pever targeted, survived, Northnovas targeted, role: Made

What we also know: ATPG is one of White Eyes' Made.
As for myself, I'm a Made as well.
We know AVSM is the Don.

So unknowns:
navarro
Tratorix
Greyblades
Split
atheotes
Sasaki

From my feelings so far, Sasaki is probably a Made too. Not sure about the rest. Considering AVSM's post a day earlier, I think Tratorix is Consigliere/Underboss as well, though he could be the last Capo. That would make the other players all Mades except one of them, who would be the last remaining Capo or Consigliere/Underboss depending on Tratorix's role.

Definite trustworthies:
Beefy
pever
AVSM

The others may or may not be stoolies.

The last thing in my analysis will be that the stoolies managed 2 kills last night. That may or may not mean a recruitment or other ability they have. GH mentioned something about 2-3 stoolies rather than giving a fixed number, so this would point more towards recruitment - and require re-investigation of people.

Considering AVSM's post a day earlier, I think Tratorix is Consigliere/Underboss as well, though he could be the last Capo. That would make the other players all Mades except one of them, who would be the last remaining Capo or Consigliere/Underboss depending on Tratorix's role.

Definite trustworthies:
Beefy
pever
AVSM

The others may or may not be stoolies.

The last thing in my analysis will be that the stoolies managed 2 kills last night. That may or may not mean a recruitment or other ability they have. GH mentioned something about 2-3 stoolies rather than giving a fixed number, so this would point more towards recruitment - and require re-investigation of people.

Good analysis. But I vote we lynch you first just to make sure.

Day 4

Don Giampetro was starting to get exasperated. Four days in a row now were completely taken over by secret, tense discussions over who the threat to the Catalano family was. Not only was the fact that his organization was in danger bothering the Don, but also something far more simple; something that touched the businessman inside of him: he was losing *so* much money from this. This was four days of having nobody on the streets to shake down targets; to start up with the usual scams; to extort the powerful people. Why, without the mafia around to keep order, the streets of Philadelphia would be plunged into anarchy!

The Don gazed at each and every single person many times over the day's latest discussion. His famed Truth Stare had abandoned him, unfortunately, over these past few days and thus it was up to the will of the people he didn't exactly trust to decide things for him. Today, they had agreed on the fact that Joseph D'Orazio (FactionHeir) was guilty.

Joseph, for his part, had behaved like a good soldier up until the very end. He tried to defend himself, turn it to other targets, and then realized that the discussion wasn't going his way, accepted his fate and laid things on the table for his comrades, telling them where they stood and what they still needed to accomplish. When the Don finally ordered his bodyguards to take him for a ride, however, Joseph interrupted.

"If you don't mind, Anthony, I'd like to end this right here and now." And, without waiting for any developments, Joseph D'Orazio took out a gun, pointed it past his chin, and pulled the trigger.

"Clean this mess up," the Don told his bodyguards, flicking off a drop of blood that had landed on his suit. He sincerely hoped that the Family could resume normal operations tomorrow.

Day 4 tally:
FactionHeir: 6 (Sasaki, navarro, ATPG, pever, Beefy, Split) :skull:

I say, I don't think so.

I'm so out of the loop on things lynching me wouldn't be the worst idea. I'm so in the dark here on everything it's almost like I AM the stoolie or something.

Well that's not my entire schtick, the rest of it is sort of a "if you lynch me you've lost nothing more than a simple vote in your favor and a loyal henchman"

That's all I'm saying, believe me or not.

Ok. I choose "not".

Night 5

"Come on, wait for it, wait for it... I want you to come... hurry up!"

He paused, allowing himself some silence to better hear what was going on. After a minute, he could hear it - the faint sound of a police siren off in the distance. He was still silent, his vigil continuing. The siren was getting louder. The car was drawing closer.

Paydirt.

Ever since he was young, Michael Delvecchio (Tratorix) had harbored a fascination with explosives. Things that went boom were always more exciting than standard weapons. They left more of a mark too. And Michael Delvecchio was a stylish and egocentric man enough to want to make a very large mark indeed.

He had taken his love of explosives with him through his long career in the mafia - shaking down pyrotechnic people and fireworks crews was his first front operation and was still his flagship. Delvecchio Fireworks, Inc. had become a household name across the Mid-Atlantic states, especially around the Fourth of July. Oh sure, the police had tried to take him down in the past, and he had even done minor jail time, but Michael Delvecchio had the people on his side. After all, the people loved explosions too. And he provided it to them.

Now though, the cops were after him. And this time, he wouldn't be going away for just a couple of months. No, there was an insider in the department this time. He'd be going away for life if they caught him. So he had made plans. And now, he was standing in the upper window of the house across the street, behind bulletproof glass, ready to execute them.

He watched as the siren grew still louder, and eventually a car pulled up to his driveway. They hesitated for a moment, making sure the address was right, and started up the driveway. It was now time for Phase One. Pressing a button on one of his remotes, Michael watched as the cops started, taken by surprise by his garage door opening suddenly.

To Michael's delight, the cops started to go inside, taking their time and drawing guns, making sure that nobody would catch them by surprise in there. What fools. Didn't they know that fighting with guns wasn't his style?

Once both men were well into the rather spacious garage, Michael initiated Phase Two, by pressing the same button on the remote. Quickly, the garage door slammed shut. The cops were trapped inside.

"Hello, gentlemen," he said into a walkie-talkie, which was connected to speakers inside the garage. "I do hope you weren't *really* expecting to take such a man of my stature so easily, were you? Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I have a message I'd like you to deliver to your superiors, but the problem is, I'm not the type of guy who'll let you to stick around to deliver it. Ah well. Anyway, here it is: This is what happens when you *#%! with the Catalanos! Initiate Stage Three!!!

He pressed another button, and there was a dull "thud" sound across the street. Were Michael to go inside to examine the damage, he would have seen that his planted nail bomb did the job very well, shredding the policemen's bodies as well as most of the inside of the garage. Instead, however, he quickly got into his black Mercedes and drove off into the night.

Later that day, Don Giampetro summoned his remaining soldiers to the usual secret meeting location to brief them on the day's events. Much to his chagrin, there was still Stoolie presence inside his organization, despite their relative lack of success in getting anybody arrested. The attack on Michael Delvecchio demonstrated as much.

"All right fellows, you know where we stand," the Don said in an ice-cold voice. "Make progress by the end of the day, please."

navarro951

Name Removed

Description: A loyal foot soldier of the Catalano family. While the lowest-ranking official member, you still are incredibly well-off, as the Mafia works plenty of times with uninducted associates. You also enjoy the full protection and services of the Catalano organization, which is more than can be said for a lot of poor souls trying to get in.

Powers: As a Made man, you are eligible to have a voice in the daily Mafia Councils in order to express your opinion on who the stoolies are. In addition, you are allowed to vote for the person who you think is most likely guilty to be “taken for a ride”. (In other words, standard townie role).

Good luck. :2thumbsup:

Happy? You can come get me stoolie, if this helps, one of our guys will get you!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Here-

We have stoolies to find.

We haven't found them.

Greyblades could be one of them. There is no defending him unless my trusted friend gets a detective result on him.

Until then, that makes him fair game.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Really it's a pretty short list. Unless there's a game twist we don't know about.

[Askthepizzaguy]

that's the other fun fact. There's not a whole lot of other people he could be.

I am worried though... the game doesn't seem balanced with a detective (GH typically hates detectives) and our ability to defend ourselves somehow.

Either we really kick butt or there is something seriously wrong with this picture.

[Tratorix]

Vote: Splitpersonality cause it's either him or Greyblades.

Quick breakdown of the remaining players.

Innocent:
AVSM - The Don, pretty much self explanatory.

Probably Innocent:
Tratorix - Attacked, survived.
pevergreen - Attacked and survived multiple times.
beefy187 - Attacked and survived.
ATPG - Cleared by the Don.
navarro - Cleared by the Don.

Suspects:
Greyblades - Probably going after split.
Splitpersonality - Probably getting lynched this round.
Sasaki Kojiro - Is acting pretty typical for him, which could mean anything.
atheotes - Hasn't posted in this thread for days, even though he's been active on the org, has lurked through most of the game.

I think it's almost time for us to lay all the cards on the table. I would personally like to know how ATPG and navarro were cleared.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm interested to see how this turns out from balancing aspect if nothing else. Ideally I'd like to use this system for a Large/Huge game far down the road and I need to see whether it's worth keeping or not.

Naturally, I'd like to say more, but that would be unsporting of me. :evilgrin:

How am I getting lynched this round when only one person has voted me?

Sorry, I fixed it. I somehow got you and splitpersonality mixed up. :oops:

[Askthepizzaguy]

You know, I would just be delighted if I could get some more votes on Greyblades, or perhaps, just more votes in general. And Splitpersonality, what would be absolutely lovely is if you could vote for someone besides yourself this round.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Perhaps we should keep in mind that the stoolies have been given cover pm's and that anyone besides the don can be a stoolie. Perhaps the stoolies were picked after the pro mafia power roles so that they have a chance of being one and the same.

[Splitpersonality]

I know just posting in this thread digs me deeper, but I'll try to defend my life a little.

...

Rethinking it, you're on the right path. I know I'm innocent, regardless of wether or not you believe me, and checking the numbers you should be able to lynch greyblades even if he throws one of us in jail. In the end the town should win, unless I'm missing something, such as an attack not really clearning someone of innocence, but being a set up tactic to make us believe that.

As long as town wins in the end, I'm happy to die for my don.

Here's my role PM, the entire thing copied out of the overall PM sent by GH (I got his name and stuff in there too)

We should especially keep that in mind with the people who the Don has said were cleared by investigations. That source could very easily be a stoolie himself.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, Atheotes is giving me a cer------azy! vibe.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sadly, he was totally inactive during the night we had two attempts. He hadn't even read the role PM I sent him for my game until several days later.

Either he is awesome at hiding his role, willing to lose in one game to save himself in another, or he's clean. Frankly with a tactic as genius as that... :bounce: Go atheotes!

Day 5

As if almost by silent consensus, the seating arrangement of the most recent meeting had been split into two distinct groups. At the head of the table, as usual, was Don Giampetro. However, after that, it got complicated. On one side of the table were the people who seemed to be in no danger of being named, who were instead comfortably accusing people without fear of reprisal. On the other side of the table were the accused.

Now, the accused people, all of them shocked at their honor being impugned, did not band together and try to fight back against their accusers. Instead, they turned on each other, pointing their fingers and calling each other very ungentlemanly names, as the people on the "Haves" side of the table passed judgment.

Eventually, Al Graziani (spL1tp3r50naL1ty) was named as the consensus choice, even after he himself, in protest, had named himself as guilty. Despite this supposed admission, Graziani was defiant until the end, protesting his innocence even as the Don went through his usual ritual and called his bodyguards to drive him away.

The rest of the men gathered inside the room still heard Graziani protesting his innocence and yelling at his captors even as he was being ushered outside and thrown into a car. As a matter of fact, it didn't stop until a sharp, clear gunshot resonated throughout the room.

Day 5 tally:

[Splitpersonality]

Good show, I was hoping for a more honorable death, but I suppose talking until my grave hit me in the face was what I did.

I quite possibly would have changed my vote, had I been around at the time, but all that is gone now.

@ATPG: No, you didn't call for my head, but others were too sure of my death to really argue against it. I had no real reason to stay alive, and if grayblades is the stoolie, you'll get him anyway.

In retrospect, it was kind of dumb to bandwagon myself, but now I can focus on Rubicon, which I am dreadfully behind in >_<

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 6

The sirens were coming. This time, Michael Delvecchio (Tratorix) was not eager and excited to hear their approaching sound. Instead, he was apprehensive.

He had no time to set up another trap. After driving to a secret location in the woods to hide out for the rest of the night, Delvecchio then had to drive back into the city, attend the Don's meeting, carry out his usual responsibilities, and then, ready to collapse, went back to his home to get some sleep. At that point, he was too tired to even think about driving to the safehouse down the Shore or to his shack in the woods. Besides, his exhausted brain had reasoned with him, the last place the police expect you is in your own home. You'll be hiding in plain sight.

That was good enough for him, and he drove up his driveway, not even bother to examine his still-unclean garage, and went straight to bed, hoping for a good nights' sleep. Alas, the police had other ideas. Instead of going on the prowl for his usual hiding spaces, they tried the blunt approach of checking any and everywhere he might be. Unfortunately for Delvecchio, this did include his house.

At this point, he had obtained four to five hours of sleep. Not the ideal amount, especially since he was getting older, but it would have to be enough. Not bothering to change, Michael instead took a quick swig of Red Bull, and then went for his gun - a silenced Walther PPK. He would have preferred something with a little more firepower, but this would have to do. Then, he waited.

The sirens drew closer, and stopped. Evidently, the police had arrived. Michael waited in his foyer for a short time, ready for the fight ahead. He was fairly certain that this time there would be no distractions. He probably wouldn't even have the luxury of hearing a knock or a doorbell.

As it turns out, he was right. Without pausing to announce themselves, the police went and kicked his front door right in. Waiting for the cops to show, Michael leaped out from behind the corner, pulling the trigger as fast as he could, hoping, if nothing else, to scare his enemies away so he'd have enough time to construct a proper trap, preferably one involving explosives.

There was just one problem: The gun wasn't loaded.

Instantly, the Red Bull's effects evaporated. All the police faced now was a tired, late middle-aged man holding something that paused about as much harm to them as a Nerf gun. With a grim smile on one of the men's faces, he proceeded to arrest Delvecchio, almost reluctantly reading him his rights.

Later that day, Don Giampetro again summoned his men to the usual place to discuss what had gone on. Looking as apprehensive as ever, the Don motioned them to start the procedure.

See, this makes me question how many of our "confirmed" innocents are really innocent. The capo's can be stoolie. The unberboss can be a stoolie. The consiglirie can be a stoolie. It says so in the rules, and they would all have fake pm's.

How can I claim capo if I didn't get it? I'm just a made man for goodness sake. And how does it make him innocent? I could claim consiglier and it would prove about as much.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think it would be prudent for the Don to show which group he has checked off as innocent without checking, and which group has been investigated thoroughly.

Greyblades first seemed almost disinterested in the game, now he defends himself vigorously. Smells like a traitor to me.

[Greyblades]

I wasn't interested because at the time I had my own game to set up. Right now I'm waiting for my PC to be fixed before starting said game so I'm taking the opportunity to get back into this one.

[Askthepizzaguy]

So then get into it. Who are your suspects and why. :whip:

[Greyblades]

Like I said I've been out of it until one and a half turns ago and I have little to no suspects but I have to point out that for three turns you have tried to get me lynched over and over again without any reason other than "he's lurking he must be mafia, now lynch him!". Normally I would think you were just trying to coax a lurker back into the game but Athetoes was doing it as well, at the same time, and you barely batted an eyelid. Your not usually this single-minded.

Your not usually this single-minded.

You haven't really been "out of it", you've actually been active on this forum, even though you claim to be busy. Secondly, Atheotes was dead inactive on this forum for like 4 days, so much so that he never even participated or read the role PM for my Mini Mafia IV game until right before he got lynched, and he wasn't even the first lynch either. I've been going after you because you suspiciously stated that you weren't really into this game (I dont care to find your exact words) yet you're still posting, and now that your head could roll, you're very interested. Sure, your real life may conveniently or inconveniently fit into this equation, but to be honest, Splitpersonality was very much like Atheotes, and I never considered him a top suspect. So last round I was going after you and he capped himself, and now I'm going after you again. And the round before that, I considered you a suspect and would go after you the following round.

You haven't been cleared and it's time to find out which side you're on, and in the absence of an investigation, your death will do quite nicely. I'm not usually this single-minded? In most every game I create a suspect list and using methods that are quite logical but I won't disclose, I attempt to work down the list in a common sense fashion. Someone attacks Beefy? I put him on the probably innocent pile. Someone attacks pevergreen? Probably innocent. Someone attacks Tratorix? Probably innocent. White Eyes is in the slammer? Inactive, and now most likely very innocent. AVSM was declared innocent and the Don by the host, so he's out.

And so on, and so on. And now, we get to Greyblades, who along with very, very few other people, still has a question mark over his head. Now it's time to flip over the card and see if it isn't the ace of spades.

[Greyblades]

You haven't really been "out of it", you've actually been active on this forum, even though you claim to be busy.
That not what I meant by "out of it" I meant I had lost interest and had to do other things anyway so I wasn't likely to get back in before the game ended..

Secondly, Atheotes was dead inactive on this forum for like 4 days, so much so that he never even participated or read the role PM for my Mini Mafia IV game until right before he got lynched, and he wasn't even the first lynch either. I've been going after you because you suspiciously stated that you weren't really into this game (I dont care to find your exact words) yet you're still posting,
I'm still posting because I have gotten back into it.

and now that your head could roll, you're very interested.
Of course I'm interested. I got back in only to find I've been dropped into the deep end and about to drown.


You haven't been cleared and it's time to find out which side you're on, and in the absence of an investigation,
Actually, that's something I would like to ask; why wasn't I investigated last? I specifically requested it.

Oh never mind. There's nothing I can do that's going to change your mind and me getting worked up will just make things worse. GH please get it over with and end the turn.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Greyblades-

Do you deny that you're a legitimate suspect at this point? Secondly, you haven't voted for anyone. Is there a better choice than lynching you, and why? If you won't discuss and contribute and tell us who your suspects are, that may be reason enough to vote for you anyway.

[Greyblades]

I don't deny that I am a suspect, technically all of us but AVSM are, but to be frank I was kind of banking on the investigator investigating me last night phase. As for suspects I would have to say Beefy or Atheotes for obvious reasons but I cant say that they are more suspicious than I have been.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Vote: Greyblades


Why?

[A Very Super Market]

Something is not right.

Atheotes, as a capo, says he has investigative abilities every other night. He told me that Factionheir was innocent, Split was innocent, and now tells me that Greblades is innocent. Leaving Beefy as an uninvestigated man.

However, as pever and I know, you must investigate someone twice in order to deduce their faction, and only the role is revealed during the first investigation. Atheotes, any words? Aw hell, it doesn't matter.

I say that we continue to vote for Greyblades, since he is looking guilty anyways.

Definite innocents
Navarro
Me

Assumed innocents
pever (I haven't investigated him myself, and I don't have the time too)
ATPG (Investigated by pever)
Sasaki (Investigated by pever)

Probably innocent
Beefy (targeted night one)

Under suspicion
Atheotes (There was a second killer, but he only popped up on one night)
Greyblades (Uninvestigated, apart from a role investigation by Atheotes)

[Greyblades]

Doesn't that pretty much mean that i'm not a stoolie seeing as I cant actualy "stool" and get someone arrested?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Without revealing too much, I will say that not all investigation powers are created equal.

[Beefy187]

I seriously doubt the stooly will say "hey!! Investigate me next night!!" unless he has a special ability avoiding being investigated. Even in that case, I think the write up will somewhat tell us that the target has the ability to dodge investigation.

I don't trust Atheotes until he turns out innocent, or dead

[FactionHeir]

Righto, lets have a look at what we got:

Following from my last post, it seems that most of my suspicions were true.

So this leaves:

AVSM - Don
pever - Consigliere
atheotes - Capo
navarro, Greyblades, Sasaki, ATPG, Beefy - Mades

I would have thought navarro to be a Capo rather than atheotes judging from activity, but there seems to be quite a bit going on in the background overall with PM exchanging.

One bonus the town currently has is that its got 2 investigators, pever and atheotes. Chances are one of them will be picked off next night. I would imagine that the stoolies have to take out all non Mades to take out AVSM since otherwise they would havea t least tried to attack him by now.

The mafia effort seems to be very concentrated too judging from their targets. Only 2 (Beefy, Northnovas) have been Mades, the rest all had a higher rank. This suggests investigation capabilities. Maybe that would also explain the 2 kill night better than a recruitment? Like 2 kills, or 1 kill 1 investigation?

Regarding investigation, AVSM says that pever needs to use 2 investigates to get someones real alignment with the first one just telling the general role. Considering that a Capo seems to know who his mades are, that would also explain GH's comment with "not all investigation powers are created equal". So Capos essentially know the role of their underlings already and would thus head straight for the 2nd result rightaway if its one of their own underlings?

So I think it will depend on whether the premise (mafia must kill all higher ups before killing the Don, a bit like Swords in the Moon) holds true in which case all stoolies are Mades, or whether there's a twist and one of the higher ups (two would probably be unbalanced) is mafia.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, please say sorry for lynching me :grin:

One thing on the side that I noticed btw:
APTG and Sasaki were fighting each other but now they seem to agree on just about anything. That does seem rather odd.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm interesting. So instead of 1 detective, we have several, any of who'm can be traitors and who only get one result every two nights...

So we have avsm and beefy as confirmed innocents. Navarro I have seen no explanation for.

unvote:Navarro however.


Possible stoolie's:
pever
atpg
sasaki

atheotes
greyblades

Hmm, if grey blades is guilty, than atheotes is guilty. If either me or pizza is guilty, than pever is guilty.

This changes the possibilities (I'm assuming two mafia for the moment since it makes sense for balance...)

atheotes,pever

pever, pizza

pever, Sasaki

atheotes,greyblades


There is simply no way for all the claimed innocent results to be really innocent, unless both investigators are guilty. So we should lynch one of them.

[Askthepizzaguy]

APTG and Sasaki were fighting each other but now they seem to agree on just about anything. That does seem rather odd.

That would be because the person who investigated me and told me exactly what my role PM said about me also said Sasaki was innocent.

We really do have a good detective who can at least tell me exactly what my role PM says about me, and I trust that investigator. To be sure, Sasaki continuing to put me down as a suspect makes me puzzled, but I honestly don't care. We are doing just fine if we lynch Greyblades and if you want to kill me this round or next go right ahead, I'm nothing and nobody and nothing you do to me will even affect the ability of the Don to defend himself.

Greyblades, under EVERYONE's suspect list, is still a suspect. My vote stays there unless I see some reasons why not.

[Greyblades]

Is there anything that will change your mind, or are you just saying that to be nice?

[navarro951]

My explanation was given, I revealed myself, and was first to do so. While that is not 100 percent evidence i think it at least grants me something. Also, I have been somewhat convinced as to Greyblades' case so...

Unvote: Greyblades, Vote: Abstain for the moment.

[navarro951]

mmm..

Vote: Atheotes.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting closed.

[Greyblades]

Ho-hum, better luck next turn town.

What's your reason for trusting pever? GH said any of the roles besides avsm can be a stoolie.



We are doing just fine if we lynch Greyblades and if you want to kill me this round or next go right ahead, I'm nothing and nobody and nothing you do to me will even affect the ability of the Don to defend himself.


Any townie who offers himself up for lynch deserves to die.


Greyblades, under EVERYONE's suspect list, is still a suspect. My vote stays there unless I see some reasons why not.

Reasons why not: according to the detective results claimed by atheotes and pevergreen, one or both of them is guilty. Therefore, we lynch both of them.

Vote:Atheotes

[A Very Super Market]

Navarro was investigated twice by me.

[navarro951]

Navarro was investigated twice by me.

And i appreciate you proving my innocence, although i have a feeling I may be the next to get ratted on.

[A Very Super Market]

Perhaps, perhaps.

However, I get a feeling that Greyblades is truly scum. The other lynches, were just probing efforts. This one seems to be more than that.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day 6

Things were getting tense at Don Giampetro's secret hideout. Much behind-the-scenes discussion that had been happening for the past week was being laid out on the line, and some people were not too happy with the results. In particular, the "have-not" side of the table was still screaming at whatever it could, but now, at last, some fingers were being pointed at the "haves" side of the table.

All in all, it was a lively discussion, particularly at the end, after the Don said to wrap things up. Everyone looked on apprehensively as the Don tallied the votes cast. At first, it appeared as if Phil Lutz (Greyblades) would run away with it. However, in that final flurry of discussion at the end, maybe the tide would shift enough to keep him alive...

...no, it was not. Lutz, after being named as guilty, angrily stood up and started yelling at everybody, saying how they had all gotten it wrong - again. He was about to spit in the Don's face when Rocco and Moose snapped to attention and got in the way, one of their hands blocking Lutz's spit.

"Hey, you got spit on my hand," said Moose. "That's not a very nice thing to do," he continued, and slugged Lutz in the mouth. Phil went down hard, spitting up blood as he struggled to get up and failed. Instead, he was hauled up by the bodyguards and taken out to the car.

Everybody listened in silence as the car started up and drove off. The Schuylkill was starting to fill up with bodies. The Catalanos were now down to less than half strength.

Day 6 tally:

Greyblades: 3 (ATPG, AVSM, pever) :skull:
atheotes: 2 (Beefy, navarro)

Abstained: 2 (atheotes, Sasaki)

I would assume so, since White_Eyes did a false reveal.

Since we have no idea whether your reveal is true or false... and it's been established by precedent that people can claim to be something after death... but best ask GH to be sure.

[Splitpersonality]

I think the rule is no reveals after death, which is why I revealed shortly before my own death.

[Greyblades]

Ok then I'll just say it: I was innocent, AVSM should keep probing, you should take a critical look at your other investigator, bye.

[A Very Super Market]

Atheotes? pever? If anything, I would lynch atheotes.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Reposting this from yesterday:



atheotes,pever

pever, pizza

pever, Sasaki

atheotes,greyblades

This is according to the detective results. Atheotes claimed greyblades was innocent, and pever has claimed that me and pizza are innocent. As you can see, those claims mean that one or both of them is lying.

We have to lynch pever tomorrow.

atheotes,pever

pever, pizza

pever, Sasaki

atheotes,greyblades


That way we are guaranteed to hit one. If the mafia pair is pever-pizza, or pever--sasaki, we would lose by lynching atheotes. Lynching pever should guarantee that the game continues.

[A Very Super Market]

Alright boys, there is a way to kill..... both.

Who here wants a promotion? Hmmmm? I'm looking for PMs. Choose from 4 different exciting careers and roles!

[pevergreen]

Yet I could have been lying about either of you...

But I wasnt.
You are also forgetting the fact I've been attacked twice, saved once due to Tratorix's help (protecting me the second time) and my role the first (I was allowed access to the safehouse because of my rank)
Greyblades: I forgot to investigate you the second time last night.



pevergreen

Vito Fillari – Consigliere

Description: You are the consigliere, or adviser, of the Catalano family and a personal friend of Don Giampetro’s for many years. You are his right-hand man along with his Underboss, and answerable only to the Don. You represent him in official meetings and in some ways are more powerful than the Underboss. It is your job to assist the Don in these times of trouble.

Powers: Every night, you may investigate one person to determine their true loyalties to the Catalano family. However, these results may be ambiguous and you may need to conduct a follow-up investigation. In addition, you are somewhat protected against arrest (night killings in this game).

Don Giampetro knows your identity. It is up to you if you wish to reveal it to anyone else.

Good luck. :2thumbsup:





Greyblades - Made man.
OFMGFOMGOFMGOFMG

DID I NOT INVESTIGATE?

I could swear 100% that i sent in to investigate greyblades again.


*$@^&)*(@&$#)^&@#)*%*&$!^#%_^@#^%@#)*^%(*&@#^%:furious3:

Nope, I triple-checked before sending the feedback PMs. Sorry man.





Askthepizzaguy - Made man.

BTW, to answer your question, I will allow private reveals, but not revealing after death.
just for clarification, if I investigate ATPG again, the result will be 100% accurate?

And will the results explicitly state the alignment of the player?

All I can say is that a second investigation will reveal more thorough information than the first.



You receive reports that your house was broken into last night. Luckily, as consigliere, you have access to the Catalano family safehouse and have spent your time there. However, future arrest attempts may be more determined .

Thats all I can do while at work.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Ahh, I forgot about the attacks on you. :laugh4:

So that leaves just atheotes? Is his absence the reason we've often only had one kill?

However, it occurs to me that the stoolies might not know each other's identities. Chaotix's mafia had this feature. Of course that would mean beefy is not technically cleared either. Hmm.

[A Very Super Market]

I never stated any intentions to kill you. It was just me trying to advertise the promotions, which are very, very, real.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you want to promote me that's fine, because I know for a fact I am loyal. However, you might want to go with someone who was double-investigated.

Or... I dunno. You have to figure whoever gets promoted could end up dead. I think your decision should be secret and between you and that person only.

[A Very Super Market]

Or, I could announce any name publicly, and let the stoolies deal with their own WIFOM.

you forgot atheotes + pizza and atheotes + you.

and of course you and pizza :inquisitive:

[pevergreen]

And maybe we already got one...

[FactionHeir]

Very much possible.

We lynched:
D1: no one
D2: khaan
D3: Blackadder
D4: FactionHeir
D5: Splitpersonality
D6: Greyblades

Considering atheotes investigated me, Grey and Split and found all 3 of us innocent, I'd be inclined to think that none of us are, or rather were, stoolies. That leaves Blackadder or khaan, neither of whom contributed much.

That still leaves to question the 2 kills the night before you guys lynched me. While I'd be humbled that you guys would consider me scum because of that, I still point to stoolies either being able to investigate or having a power that allows them a double hit - chances are a one-off ability kind of like pever and Tratorix' one-off survival.

[atheotes]

FH, Split and greyblades were the three men under me and i could investigate one of them every other night starting Night 2. I forwarded the results to AVSM. I am not sure if a second investigation would have given more info as the role pm did not say anything about it and i did not have the chance to do any :shrug:
Since AVSM was announced as the Don...i figured the victory condition for the stoolies could be to kill all the other mafia or get the don... for it to be the second there must be conditions to meet like removing all power roled. So i did not want to reveal in public and only PMed AVSM.
now that all the roles are in the open (except for the recruitment AVSM is talking about) i guess we have made it easier for the stoolie(s?)...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

you forgot atheotes + pizza and atheotes + you.

and of course you and pizza :inquisitive:


No I didn't...if me and pizza were guilty then pever would have to be guilty since he said we were innocent...same with the other two.

[FactionHeir]

Not quite Sasaki, because pever only investigated the two of you once, meaning he only got the standard investigation results, not the true allegiance result.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

He told me differently...

[FactionHeir]

I wouldn't know what he told you, only what AVSM and pever posted in the thread.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

"Hello, there are 5 of us in the PM.

ATPG/Sasaki/AVSM are 100% confirmed town aligned.

Beefy is most likely innocent, which gives us 6/11.

Greetings ATPG, and welcome to the group."

[A Very Super Market]

He investigated you two twice each. I believe he forgot to investigate last night.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I grow increasingly suspect of this "other" investigator. Atheotes wasn't even active for like 4 days, how could he investigate anyone?


Considering atheotes investigated me, Grey and Split

Secondly, this game would be horrendously unbalanced if this second investigator works. I smell a nasty.

[FactionHeir]

I wasn't aware of being investigated, I'm taking whats been posted at face value.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, fact remains, if atheotes is guilty, then he is the last mafia. However, if the stoolies didn't know each other (possible for undercover cops) then there are more possibilities open, and we should examine them.

I don't really suspect beefy at all which is maybe a mistake.

[FactionHeir]

Me neither since he was attacked. Sure, its been done before, attacking your partner and sometimes even kill him to make him seem innocent and play devils advocate to the town successfully, but I would like to think Beefy's innocent. Another investigation would certainly not be misplaced however.

Now, we are entering the end game I think.

I imagine mafia are going to take out pever since atheotes can't investigate anyone else according to AVSM, so he isn't a danger to them.
Doing so would obviously frame atheotes too as he's the only guy alive and all who looks suspicious, and will get lynched the next day. Problem is, is that what the mafia are planning (as this takes out all the command structure of the organization) so they can then kill AVSM the following night phase or is atheotes the stoolie? In that case, who would his partner be?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

In council of villains the heroes didn't know each other and could have attack each other. My mafia partner killed me night one in one game, lol. And it makes sense that the stoolies would not know each other.

pever's "accidentally" not getting a result on greyblades is a mark against him as well.

[A Very Super Market]

Please, I promoted someone already to Underboss, AKA doctor. They're going to have to guess to get him, and we'll have our lynch anyways

[pevergreen]

FH, Split and greyblades were the three men under me and i could investigate one of them every other night starting Night 2. I forwarded the results to AVSM. I am not sure if a second investigation would have given more info as the role pm did not say anything about it and i did not have the chance to do any :shrug:

Yet you were completely inactive for four days or soemthing, you have nothing to prove you innocent, do you?

[GeneralHankerchief]

The writeup will happen within the next couple of hours. I'm a bit busy at the moment. :yes:

Night 7

It was Memorial Day weekend on the Jersey Shore. The previously sleepy, serene area, was now packed with tourists and weekend vacationers ready to celebrate the true, if unofficial, start of summer. This meant traffic. This meant noise. This meant people, in general. All in all, it did not mean good news for Vito Fillari (pevergreen), still holed up in the Catalano safehouse in Wildwood Crest. He had been at his window all day, watching as more and more cars streamed into the mostly residential town. The Crest's next-town neighbor, Wildwood, had the boardwalk and the bars and thus attracted more people, but plenty of people had shorehouses in the Crest and preferred the more manageable beaches. So, as the cars and minivans unloaded the happy children and pretty girls ready for a weekend at the beach, Vito sat inside, watching.

Night fell. The crowds dwindled a little as the Crest's denizens headed over to Wildwood to partake in the evening festivities that only a town with a boardwalk and bars could provide. Then, however, another car drove by the area. This one had flashing red-and-blue lights and a loud siren to match. It was time.

Vito quickly left the window, putting on a dark coat and grabbing a pistol. He marched downstairs, into his garage, where two getaway cars sat, waiting for him. However, this night didn't call for a getaway car. The cops were after him. After two missed attempts, they meant to get him this time. Vito, using his swift Sicilian brain, figured that if he tried to drive away, about two dozen cars would show up from nowhere, surrounding him and totally eliminating all hope of escape. No, his vehicle would have to be a bit different.

The car pulled up to the side of the road. These policemen had been here before, a few days ago in the dead of night where they had listened to Ella and the Big Bopper belt out their timeless tunes. They opened the door, got out, shut it...

...and the garage door burst open. Vito Fillari, riding a bicycle at top speed, rode straight at them, blasting away with his pistol. The cops, taken completely by surprise, dove for cover, struggling to take their own guns out of their holster. They half-worked, half-watched, cringing for what was sure to be the impact of Fillari ramming into their car, but he veered away at the last second, turning left, heading straight for the beach. It veered left again, however, taking the bike path that ran parallel with the Crest's beautiful beach.

The cops quickly recovered and ran, firing a few shots at Fillari and his bike before they realized that the pursuit was futile. Instead, they ran back to their car, jumped in, and started it, prepared to give chase.

On the bike path, Fillari, now a few blocks away, saw the cops retreat and grinned. That was the great thing about the Shore: There were some places where cars weren't allowed to go. He started to pedal leisurely, taking in the mist forming over the ocean and the pretty houses that decorated the landscape. And then he heard it. The siren had flicked back on. A second later, that damned police car had veered back into view. It had decided to make the bike path its own.

Cursing, Vito fired a few shots back at the car without looking, pedaling into overdrive. He would have to make for the border of Wildwood. It wasn't too far, only a dozen or so blocks more. Once he got there, he would take the boardwalk and hide amongst the mass of tourists that had descended upon it for the weekend.

The police car was coming up on him, fast. Thank God for the narrowness of the path and the occasional need to swerve to avoid the streetlight/small garden that had been planted at the end of every street. He had fired his gun back a few more times, not bothering to check to see if he had made contact. He was too concentrated on getting to the Boardwalk, which he could see in the distance now. He didn't bother with the occasional pedestrian that was in the way. They would have to scream and jump out of the way. One time he did hear the screeching of the brakes, which meant that the cops were obviously more concerned for human lives than he was at the moment.

This break may have been what he needed, as it bought him just enough time to arrive at the boardwalk, make a left to access the on-ramp, and do a quick 180 to start pedaling up the ramp. He figured that he would pedal the initial stretch of mostly open space past the Convention Center, and then park it and hide once the boardwalk started to get really packed.

A man wearing a yellow security vest saw Vito, and started shouting at him. "Hey! No riding bikes on here after 12 noon!" he yelled. "Can't you see the-"

"Shut up," Vito said, pointing his gun at the man's head and pulling the trigger as he pedaled by. Several people walking by who had witnessed this scene screamed.

"Let 'em," Vito said to himself. "I'll ditch the bike and shed the coat. Nobody will recognize me in the dark."

Then, however, there was a much louder scream, followed by the unmistakable roar of an engine and wail of a siren. Vito looked back, nearly falling off his bike in shock. The police car had gone up the on-ramp and was now on the Boardwalk itself, continuing its chase. The next moments were all sound, blending together and apart again as the chase resumed:

- Vito's loud swearing at this new development.
- The screams of the crowd at the sight of the car on the boardwalk, doing a significant speed.
- Clackclackclakclakclak of the boards as Vito rode over them.
- The recorded drone of a female voice: "Watch the tramcar, please", signifying the approach of the popular sightseeing vehicle.
- WeeeeOooooWeeeeOoooo of the siren.
- CLAKCLAKCLAKCLAKCLAK as the cop car rode over the boards, which were not used to the weight

Vroom! Clakclakclak
OoooWeeeeeOoooooWeeeOooo
Clakclakclakclakclakclakclakclakclak
"Watch the tramcar, please!"
Clackclakclakclakclakclak
RRRRRRRRRRRclakclakWeeeeOoooclakclak
OoooWeeeOoooclakclak
"What the *#%! are you doing, you crazy psycho!"
CLAKCLAKCLAKCLAK
WeeeOoooWeeeOooo
"WATCH THE TRAMCAR, PLEASE!"

Vito looked back, seeing how close the cop car was, and then looked in front of him again -

BAM!!!

He had crashed headlong into the tramcar heading in the opposite direction, obviously failing to heed its advice. Vito was catapulted through the car until he his a metal post with his leg, causing him to go sprawling sideways until he finally hit the ground. The driver of the tramcar came rushing to his side, half-livid, half-horrified.

"Why did you keep coming straight at me, you idiot?!" he shouted to a dazed Vito, who may or may not have actually heard him. "Didn't you hear the voice telling ya to watch out?!"

The cop car pulled alongside of the scene and the two officers came out.

"Congratulations, sir," said one of the officers, shaking the bewildered driver's hand. "You have just aided in the capture of who we believe to be a very high-ranking member of the Catalano crime family."

"I... I did?"

"Yes sir," continued the cop. "Do you mind if we take your name and your information? Now, we can't make any promises... but if things go the way we expect them to be, you'll be handsomely rewarded for your efforts. Congratulations again, sir. You're a hero."

The driver, now shocked beyond words, looked from the cop to Vito to the cop again, shook his head, and just started laughing.

Later that day, a livid Don Giampetro again summoned his men to his headquarters in the city where he started yelling at them all, how they were still letting this happen, how they were easily-manipulated fools and how he should personally whack each and every single one of them and just start fresh. After about twenty minutes of abuse, he calmed down and said to begin the usual discussions.

pever, sorry I couldn't save you.

As for the rest, just Vote: Atheotes. pever was innocent, meaning ATPG and Sasaki are innocent, navarro has been cleared by myself, Beefy is most likely innocent, and Atheotes went un-noticed.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will follow your orders, Don. I do find it strange that Atheotes be the sole suspect because he had to arrest people during his 4 day absence. I don't think he had the ability to do so, and thus my objections.

nevertheless, I take orders from you alone.

vote: Atheotes

[pevergreen]

Gah. No results.

Have fun...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Why would they kill pever? So confusing.

Vote:atheotes

[Tratorix]

I get the feeling this isn't going to end well.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I get the feeling this isn't going to end well.

I feel it will end badly...very badly...it's just too easy, too obvious.

[A Very Super Market]

It is, far ,far too obvious. But what else to go on? Random lynching?

[FactionHeir]

Well we do have no lynch (as an option) left.

As I said previously, it could be an obvious attempt to frame atheotes who is the last ranking member of the family besides AVSM. And his prolonged absence (especially during the two kill night) seems rather strange. He also hasn't framed one of his mades as stoolies when his life was clearly in danger. Yet at the same time he's the only one who hasn't been attacked nor investigated....

[Beefy187]

Why would they kill pever? So confusing.

Vote:atheotes

Why wouldn't they? pever was one of pretty much comfirmed innocents.

Vote: Atheotes

[atheotes]

pever's death has left a "lynche me" on my head and i dont know what i can do to prove my innocence. I still think power roles have to be removed before the don can be arrested...so we are just going to make it easy for the stoolie (s?)... but if there is a new underboss my lynch doesnt matter i guess... we might still have more time if the underboss is unknown to the scum as well.
i dont have a case against anyone else either... sasaki and atpg innocent as long as pever was innocent, AVSM says navarro has been cleared by him, beefy got attacked and he claims he was protected by tratorix and thats y he survived...:no:

[Greyblades]

Anyone else thik he's been setup?

[Beefy187]

Anyone else thik he's been setup?

If your saying Atheotes is set up...

Him and I are the only uninvestigated player. So I guess that leaves us no choice.

[navarro951]

I Vote: Beefy

[Greyblades]

If your saying Atheotes is set up...

Him and I are the only uninvestigated player. So I guess that leaves us no choice.
Leaves you no choice but leaves everyone else 2 choices.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Beefy eh? You believe the stoolies told the police to arrest one of their own?

Nifty trick.

[Greyblades]

Not really, but I don't like the vibe I'm getting off him. Its probably my imagination but its almost like he's trying to rush it along and not let anyone think about what they are doing.

[FactionHeir]

The more I think about it, the more I think atheotes can't be a stoolie. He is way too inactive to be able to send in night actions in a nightly fashion, plus the other factors as per my previous post. I think this is also only his second game since Swords in the Moon where his behavior was just about the same as here, and he was just as inactive. It just seems to easy to set him up and that's what bothers me.

The Don has appointed a new underboss now anyway, so even if atheotes somehow was a stoolie, he would have to take the new underboss out first before he could go after AVSM, so I think the best option right now is to lynch Beefy, who is all too eager to jump on atheotes bandwagon.

[A Very Super Market]

The fact that Beefy was defended by Tratorix doesn't stand for anything. But since he was targeted, it should surely mean something.

The more I re-read the thread, the more I doubt my decisions. Probably because I've been a pretty bad lead townie this whole time. However, I have an interesting thought....

[A Very Super Market]

Hmmm,

Vote: Beefy

No time to explain, I'm sorry everyone, but please follow.
