Why do you want to lynch someone for no particular reason?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

“Hey! Hey!
When the enemy invades our soil
And plunges our people into turmoil
Will you sing the battle cry?
Will you hold the line?
When the battle seems to tough to win
Will you ante up and kick in?
I gotta know will you hold the line?

Or will you do the same things you do?
Sit around and act the fool
Spread lies about your fellow man
Causing trouble again and again
Well you wear the right clothes and you walk the walk
But I'm about sick of your clockwork talk
When the enemy seeks out our women to stalk
Will you hold the line?
No you'll just do the same things you do
You never hold a job longer than a week or two
Fighting with your fellow man
Causing trouble again and again
Its time you start acting smart
What's all this talk about an upstart?
You aren't in the battle or playing a part
Unless you hold the line!”
… “Hold the Line” from The World Needs a Hero

7:31PM Wednesday 2 November 1951
The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey


“Well, that’s the total then…” mumbled one of the tallyers, supervised by one of the Director’s ‘squadies.’ The officer spoke quietly with Generalhankerchief, who nodded and whispered to the officer

“Everyone will remain here for a few minutes,” said the officer. His squad mates had drawn their revolvers and were guarding the doors….and the committee.

Director Hankerchief once again departed the Executive Meeting Room without making excuses or apologies to anyone. Unlike the previous day, however, the Director's absence was short, and he returned to take his position at the front of the room in fifteen minutes. His lapel looked like it was bulging a bit in his otherwise stylish suit, but nobody said anything about it. Everybody had other things on their minds.

Several people especially had more reason to sweat than others. They had seen the previous day's executions courtesy of the Director. Everyone now lived in fear of another visit to Club 30, but the Director saw no reason to take them back to that place so soon. He would keep the Committee on its toes. Finally, the Director closed voting, and after a brief delay, announced that Ishmael was the lucky Committee member of the day.

Ishmael's eyes started darting around, looking for something in the room. A reprieve? An escape route? Friendly gazes? The most he got was a couple of sympathetic looks from some other Committee members. Everyone else was avoiding looking at him. Ishmael might as well have already been dead.

Slowly, agonizingly, he made his way up to the front of the room where the expressionless Director was waiting, his hands inside his suit fumbling for something. After a few seconds' struggle, he took out what was the source of the bulge in his suit: a medium-sized, unmarked spray can. Taking the can in his hand, he started spraying Ishmael without any fanfare. Ishmael, whose emotions were already at the breaking point, finally lost it while the Director was in the process of spraying.

"What?!" he said, voice regularly cracking, "What's this can for? What's in it, eh? Another hallucinogenic, like you did with MRD at Club 30 last night? Am I going to run around and look for the doors and not find any, and then go so crazy that I kill myself? Where are you hiding the chainsaw this time?! What's this stupid spray going to do to me???!?!"

The Director regarded Ishmael as he finished spraying. Ishmael's entire body was now coated in the mystery stuff. "This spray isn't for you," he said calmly. Ishmael could only goggle at the Director, his face in an openmouthed expression of surprise.

"It's for the tiger."

And then everything started happening very quickly. At the exact same instant, Director Hankerchief took several exaggerated steps backwards from MRD, and on the other side of the room the ballroom's doors burst open as everyone saw the Director's four scantily-clad female assistants struggling (and failing) to hold back a very large, very hungry Bengal tiger. Everybody screamed at once and started running around, but despite this general commotion everyone was still able to clearly hear the tiger roaring and struggling to break free.

"I suggest everyone stay as far away from Ishmael as possible," Director Hankerchief yelled over the din, still appearing as unfettered as ever. "He has been sprayed with 'Essence of Raw Meat', making him a very irresistible meal to certain predatory species like Fred here. Very soon now I expect Fred's need to feed to overcome my poor assistant's valiant efforts at keeping him -" *SNAP!* At that point the tiger broke free, proving the Director right and causing complete pandemonium in the ballroom.

"...tethered." Director Hankerchief finished to himself, but nobody was able to hear him over the general screaming, clatter of feet, the tiger roaring, the assistants slamming the doors and getting out of there, and chaos of most of the chairs in the ballroom being overturned at once as everybody tried to get away from the tiger as quickly as possible.

All semblance of order and thus the ability to properly narrate the scene broke down at this moment. Unlike the previous night's choreographed carnage, confusion and cacophony and chaos reined supreme today. The tiger, free of any restraints and ravenously hungry, saw a room literally full of food. The mass amounts of panic present in such a confined area only triggered his animalistic "sixth sense" which only added to his bloodlust. However, one thing overpowered all of Fred's other senses. On the other side of the room was something that was positively reeking of raw meat.

Paying no heed to the cast-aside chairs or people running around and screaming, the tiger bounded to the front of the ballroom, clawing a few people and causing numerous minor injuries but otherwise not fatally harming anyone until he saw his target: Ishmael, huddled in the corner, shuddering and making the sign of the cross over and over. The tiger, paying no heed to this invocation, pounced and tore into Ishmael, finally providing enough space for the rest of the Committee to hightail it out of the ballroom without further damage.

Twenty minutes later, the only beings still present in the ballroom were Director Hankerchief and the tiger, as Ishmael had quite literally ceased to exist. The Director was absentmindedly stroking Fred's ears and feeding him biscuits, not even noticing the large amount of blood and torn clothing on the floor around them.

“Oh, and thank you everyone for vesting your trust in me once more.”

Hold the Phone! with Saucy Slice




"Welcome back. We finally have the interview I promised for your listening enjoyment. Is he on the phone? Okay, I'll take the call in here, Frankie.
Yes, hello, you're on the air with DJ Slice. Is this mister Pentangeli?"

"Who's askin'? I'm just a regular guy, who happens to run a plumbing service."

"Radio listeners, mister Pentangeli is the general manager of Pentangeli's Plumbing, one of the many fine and respected legitimate businessmen in Fatlington, here to discuss the employment situation"

"Yeah, what you said."

"How's the economy, are you able to take on new hires, even with the crime wave hurting sales?"

"We're always hiring. We just need guys who can get the job done."
"I'm not impressed with this so-called crime wave, though."
"Seems like just a bunch of wannabes and chancers."

"So tell me more about the plumbing business. You fix things that need fixing? Plug up leaks?"

"I've plugged a few in my time."
"And there's no problem the Pentangelis can't fix."
"Shame so many Fatlings are wasting their time with less professional services."

"You're saying you're a first class operation?"

"Yeah, that's what I said. Are you deaf? You need to clean out your friggin ears."

"No sir mister Pentangeli, just trying to hear what your thoughts are about the competition"

"What competition?"

"I understand the Barzini and the Tataglia also have a um... plumbing service."

"Those chumps don't have a clue. Not much evidence of their work, that I can see."
"Too many of their guys taking naps on the job. Perhaps they should be shown the door."

"Are you saying your operation can handle the big jobs and the small jobs? There's nothing you can't handle?"

"We can handle anyone that needs handling. Who told you otherwise? The Stracchi?
"Bunch of filthy bums. No honour with them. No sense of tradition."

"Tradition, mister Pentangeli? I had no idea the plumbing business was so involved."

"Yeah. The plumbing business..."
"It's a long tradition."
"Sacred."
"But I don't like to talk about it."
"Not like the Cunnio...
"Don't know when to shut up."
"Gonna laugh when they get shut up for good."

"What would you like to talk about? Say speaking of jobs, I need to ask you a favor. Last night was burrito night at the station and now all the toilets are backed up. Can you fix it for me?"

"You want me to fix your toilet? What are you, stupid? I've ended men for lesser insults. Do you want to go on a trip somewhere and never come back, kid?"

"I thought you were a plumber..."

"Plumber? What plumber? Oh, oh right, that. Yeah, I'll send a guy with a wrench. He'll fix you good."

"Thank you very much mister Pentangeli. Do you have any parting words for the Barzini or the Corleones?"

"Yeah, they can all go fornicate with their mothers, those sewer dwelling rats. They've lost their touch, they couldn't whack a beach ball with a tennis racket. They couldn't rob a lunch box. They couldn't hit the ground if it weren't for the Earth's gravitational pull. They're a bunch of know-nothing mooks. They're nobodies. I want them all dead. I want their families dead. I want their houses burnt to the ground, and I want to [B] on their ashes and feed 'em to their dogs."

"That was Mister Spatafore Pentangeli, general manager of Pentangeli's Plumbing. They can be reached at the following address (SpataforePentangeli@hotmail.com). We'll be right back after these messages."

I've somehow managed to end up the organizer of a few small vig/protection groups and currently have a small number of spares available for tonight; pm me if you need a body or two to fill in your own needs, first come first serve.

I approve of the write-up. It reminds me of the Monty Python 'Self Defence Against Fruit' sketch :beam:. Just a (very) minor quibble - as a Communist, shouldn't I be atheistic?

Wait, I thought he was a Nazi :clown:

It's worse than we feared. He's a member of the Bavarian Illuminati Commie-Nazis. Nasty breed, those.

Armed with chocolate, and creme pies, and chocolate-covered pie launchers, they preach the elitist concepts of national supremacy, wealth, corporate governance, exceptionalism, as well as the egalitarian principles of wealth redistribution, universal healthcare, and abolishing possession and governance altogether. Then they hold meetings where initiates are forced to endure bare bottom spankings while wearing brown AND red uniforms.

Their symbol is the all-seeing hammer and swastisicle.

[Yaropolk]

I'm curious - does Sasaki's thing indicate a roleblocking?

Also, select: GH. Too easy.

EDIT: Wait, what Nazi situation? Can somebody please fill me in here?

I have been extremely busy IRL - fudged up Monty's vig on 2nd night, and haven't had enough free time to organize anything since. Just sending in my orders with groups other people organize like a good little sheep. Anyway - here is what I meant by the Nazi comment. See for yourself. I didn't realize I was 2nd place for lynch yesterday until I came back to read the thread today. In case I end up as lynchbait later one due to not paying attention or whatever, here is the PM conversation I had with Monty. He contacted me first, probably due to something I said in thread:


Strength through Joy, brother?

I googled that phrase and came up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_Through_Joy

"Kraft durch Freude (German for Strength through Joy, abbreviated KdF) was a large state-controlled leisure organization in Nazi Germany.[1] It was a part of the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF), the national German labour organization at that time. Set up as a tool to promote the advantages of National Socialism to the people, it soon became the world's largest tourism operator of the 1930s"

At this point Xenoneb posted in thread that people who want to participate in vig or defense groups should contact him.


Get a load of this Xenon fella, he must think he's the Organizer of Victory or something. Such indiscriminate Community Outreach might lead to unpleasant consequences for the man - or the Town. And I hear some might be marching to a different beat altogether - the Center Beat. Dig?

I do not dig what the Center beat is, so I try to respond without giving this away.

How do you want to do this?

Monty catches on and cuts me off, although I don't know what the deal with the wedding is. Am I invited? Will there be cake?

You trouble me. There will be a wedding before long. :flowers:

I failed a vig attempt on Monty at this point and reveal so in thread. Same day he PMs me:


Oh lol. So that's why you were acting so strange. But I'm not actually a Nazi in this game. I just enjoy inappropriately referencing Nazism IRL. :yes:
I contacted you because I was one of like two people who supported your election bid D1. I thought maybe it would give me some sort of leverage. Good will, at least.
What a lol. And here I'd even asked a detective to investigate you for N3. Perhaps you'd like me to call that off?

Make of that what you will. I would prefer to get rid of Monty, but by the same token I don't have the time to organize a succesfull hit.

[Visor]

Not enough to be worth a kill in my opinion.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hey Saucy

That Pentageli freakazoid is a fake and a fraud. He couldn’t “fix” his way out of a paper bag if you gave him a half hour and the pair of scissors. Probably cut his own toes off or something. Guy ain’t even from Brooklyn, Saucy, he’s from Peoria. He was in marching band, for Christ’s sake, played the tuba. I ask you, is that someone you want to rely on when your plumbing gets backed up, a tuba player?

Don’t let him tell you otherwise, try to talk about the old Brooklyn crowd, I got this straight off his little sister, right before I knocked her up. What a sweet piece of :daisy: that was. Too bad she looks like her Mama now.

Where was I. Oh yeah. You want a job done right, you go to the professionals. Corleone Hauling and Associated Building Trades. We get it done.

Saucy, you gotta find a better class of associates. Some of these guys you been hanging around with ain’t too good for your health, if you know what I’m saying. Don’t put that part on the air.


So I got a letter in my mailbox from a "Babyface" Corleone (babyfacecorleone@gmail.com)

Seems like the Pentangeli interview is causing a stir among the Corleones. Not sure if that's just the tip of the iceberg or not.

To be clear, I'll play a few songs every day, but I won't spam up the thread, and;

If you request a pokemon song that you and maybe one other person might enjoy, and others suggest a better song, I'll play that one.

Diamondeye's choices are less controversial, but still not to everyone's taste. As such I played one of his.

Fifth Night -- The Streets of Fatlington


Askthepizzaguy sat quietly in his personal broadcast studio, going over notes for the next broadcast. His days were always so rushed; so many things demanding his time. Still, Fatlington was in crisis and he knew that his efforts had to continue.

The attack, when it came, was a doomed effort. The plan had been simple, but straightforward, like most good plans. Two trucks would race at high speed down the road, swerve through the short picket fencing and smash into the front of the deluxe bungalow, the drivers jumping to safety. Then a trio of shooters would open up while the drivers ran behind the house to cut off escape.

It didn’t even come close to happening that way. The first truck was intercepted by a trio of cars and brought to a –literally – screeching halt. The driver bailed out and used his shotty to get a clear escape route. The second truck ran on the sidewalk and dodged the intervening cars, but couldn’t dodge the bursts of fire from the pair of .30 Browning machine guns positioned at the end of the street where it met the beach bulkhead. A pair of two-person firing teams and a BAR-man providing cover shot the second truck to a standstill. The trio of shooters never even bothered firing – they just faded away.


Lord Brennus had had a feeling of foreboding all day. Mostly, his luck had been good lately and he’d been on the committee for days now with little attention – potentially deadly attention – coming his way. Today, however, he’d been looking around a little gloomily, waiting for the other shoe to drop,
When he reached the door of his apartment building, he was greeted by a life?-sized cutout of Wiley Coyote standing in the doorway itself. He paused with his hand on the door.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wile E. Coyote, Super-genius…” intoned a slightly scratchy record player.

Brennus spun around, quickly drawing a sidearm – nobody on the committee save Askthepizzaguy went unarmed in Fatlington these days – and scanning the apparently empty street for threats.

>>>Nothing?<<<

But he didn’t look up. It wasn’t ‘the other shoe’ that dropped, it was a concert grand piano freshly loosened from the pulley holding it suspended in the darkness above. With a resounding albeit discordant

>Kabong!<

The piano crushed Lord Brennus against the sidewalk in front of the apartments. The legs and body of the piano were smashed as well, but the little brass plaque above the keyboard was more or less intact. It was engraved ‘Acme Piano Manufacturing, Inc.’

A shadowy figure walked over to the wreckage, yanked the shoe and sock off Brennus’ left foot – sticking out from under the piano at an odd angle, and then used a pocket knife to remove the big toe. He then walked quickly away.

Seconds later, a pair of fedora-clad, trenchcoat wearing gunmen walked up to the wreckage. One of them had a bright yellow Victorian-era suit under his tattered trench coat and held a Springfield ought three sawed down to a pistol grip, the other more conventionally armed with a Thompson. Hearing moans from under the wreckage – poor ravaged Brennus was dying but not quite yet dead – both of them opened up on the piano and whatever pieces of Brennus were stil visible. Their clips emptied quickly.

“Do we take the other toe?”

“Nah, just one is enough as a message.”

“Cool, ‘cause I think the other foot is stuck in the bass strings.”

“Do you want to try a quick “Heart and Soul?”

“Let’s just get out of here.”


Drunk Clown had chosen to live up to his name tonight. He’d left the meeting, gone to the corner tappy and slapped a twenty on the bar, telling the bartender to kick him out when half of it was gone. At fifty cents a whiskey, that was quite a bit of liquid courage.

They say that God takes care of drunks and fools, and Clown went on to prove it. As he stumbled from the bar, headed to his Buick – he was entirely too drunk to walk – when the gunman opened up on him from across the street.
Clown made for the only piece of cover nearby, the trashcan in the ailey behind the tappy. Darkness shrouded the back of the alley behind D.C. as he huddled behind the dumpster. His pistol was out, but he doubted he could hit anything further away than the building he was leaning on.

Sirens started wailing and the fire from across the street stopped. The whole time, the darkness behind Clown stayed quiet…and empty.


Bow-wow-wow had stopped at ‘Max Schmelling’s Joint’ for a hamburger and a malted after the meeting. He’d put away two of the burgers and felt like doing a little howling at the moon. As he stood to leave, the windows of the café burst as a fusillade of gunfire hammered through.

Onomatopoeia-man stopped slug after slug, as did the table, the storefront and several patrons. Five Tommies, all with the 100-round drums, made for a lot of lead in a short while.

Bow-wow-wow staggered back behind the counter, pushed there by repeated hits. Despite the armoring of his coat and extra armor vest, too many slugs had hit him in too many places. He was a dead man walking. Not realizing this, and in virtually no pain as a result of the adrenalin, Bow-wow-wow made it out the back door in a vain attempt to escape his fate. Doubly vain, since he was greeted by a sextet of shotgun blasts.

“Good thing we didn’t wait by the elevator after all. We’d have missed our share of the fun.”

None of the eleven shooters were stopped. Seven patrons and one waiter were killed, and another four persons wounded, during the shooting spree.


Two pairs of shooters opened up on edse as he idled at the red light.

Edse had just stopped the car when someone behind him in his blind spot shouted

“Ishmael’s revenge!”

and started hammering away. Three other gunmen chimed in and the shots shattered windows and caromed off the armored sides of the car. edse hunkered down and slammed his foot on the accelerator, racing through the intersection blindly to avoid the deadly hail of gunfire. All it would have taken was one car stopping in front of edse to prevent his escape and sooner or later the firepower – even by ricochet – would’ve got him. Instead, edse made good his escape.


Slysnake had skipped the meeting and stayed a little longer at Mercy Hospital. Sure, he had survived against the odds, but he still felt like crud. He hadn’t taken three steps out of the hospital when a masked man wearing a commisar’s hat grabbed him by the arm.

“Tuh-vor-eesh, nyet! You come vith me for ze safety, ja?”

’Der Commisar’ shoved the bewildered slysnake into the back of a panel truck, shut the door and locked it, then hopped into the van and drove quickly the four blocks down to the boardwalk. The driver turned to slysnake, rattling around in the empty back of the van.

“No man lives forever. Duz-vee-doinya.”

The driver slammed the door as he left the van, hopped the railing and dropped into the sands below. At that very moment, the PIAT launched by his partner struck the back of the van, blew through the sidewall, and messily ended slysnake’s pain. Third time pays for all, as they say…whoever THEY are.


Suburban Plankton shook his head, trying to clear the fuzz from his thoughts. All he remembered was a sharp pain in the back of his head and then nothing. He looked around.

>>>Windy…dark….decorative railing…..off to his right was a big red sign saying MERCY + a few blocks away and up a broad….Atlantic avenue?<<<

He realized he was dangling between two trench-coated men just about the time both men started jogging toward the decorative balustrade of the Penthouse atop the Hotel Abbatoir. By the time he thought

>>>Struggle!<<<

His murderers were already lifting him as they threw him across the railing and off into the night. The two at the top were puzzled by the lack of a scream.

>>>This is really gonna hurt…<<<

The two killers stared down at the broken body, cradled by the light of a streetlamp.

“You missed.”

“The lamp was an impossible target, you jerk.”

“That’s why I gave you five to one. You owe me two bucks.”

Killer one dropped a card with the outline of Alaska and the legend ‘Seward’s Folly,’ thenpaid killer two – a crisp Jefferson – and both of them made their way off into the dark Fatlington night.


Edse had switched cars and made it to his brownstone in the lower town. On Pacific, rather than Atlantic, his place was a little quieter and in a less “touristy” neighborhood than most. Tonoght, however, there were a few visitors.

The man stepped out from behind a stoop several doors down, just as Edse, finished locking his car. His gleaming black hair was slicked back with Bryl Cream, his long dark trench coat criss-crossed by bandoliers of shells like some kind of Hollywood Mexican bandit, and he had a shotty.

The look may have been cheesy, the gun was not. Deftly , the greaser gunman spun cocked the 1887 and fired at edse. Edse, noticing the movement, ducked. They went back and forth that way for several rounds. Edse, would sprint and duck just as he heard the lever cock, while the bandito would move up a couple of steps while loading and then fire again. Edse made it to his front door, slamming it open.

Almost as quickly, edse came back out the door, reeling from the impact of multiple .30 caliber rounds at close range. Some shots from the four hidden shooters had penetrated his armor, others had hammered home where no armor covered him. He staggered on the steps and then collapsed when Mr. Bryl Cream slammed a load of double ought into the small of his back. His would-be killers made good their escape, but didn’t pause to make sure edse had died.

Arriving moments later, Commissioner Fermanagh – heading out to a pub after having a ‘chat’ with the missus – leapt from his vehicle and staunched the bleeding. An ambulance was called and got to edse just in time. He’d lost a good deal of blood, but because of the armoring he had managed, just barely and with a little luck, to survive. He would no doubt be laid up for a day or so, just to recover.


Erebus had managed to keep himself out of trouble – until tonight.

Tonight some quirk of behavior – too quiet, too distracted? – at the meeting had madwe him a target and five avenging attackers converged to do him harm.

It started, as so many attacks did in this town, with bursts of gunfire as the target masde his way from the parking lot to his door. Erebus reacted quickly by sprinting for cover. He found himself in a corner, tight behind a trash dumpster. He had hard cover, was firing back to keep the other shooters heads down a bit, and he could already hear police sirens heading towards the scene.

That’s when the chap with the PIAT launcher stood up. He was 30 yards away with a clear line of fire to the area behind the dumpster – which would contain the resulting explosion right on top of Erebus. Instead, the PIAT went >click< and did nothing. The shooter re-triggered the device and again, got nothing. Despite checking and re-checking before the mission, the PIAT was a dud and would not fire. Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than good.

With the sirens closing, the attack team made off into the darkness. Erebus had lived through it all without a scratch – and with a healthier respect for a little planning.


Psychonaut was heading home after a long, hard day, when he turned the corner and saw that the road had been blocked by barricades. He wasn't aware of any new construction or road work being done, so he carefully slowed to a stop and got out of his vehicle to investigate. Not only was the road blocked off but the next intersection as well. In the middle of the intersection, there was an overturned car, with the glowing Mizza Mut car topper laying right beside it, the outer casing smashed. Unsure what to make of the scene, and worried someone might be hurt, Psychonaut approached the car, only to find it was unoccupied. He gripped the object in his hands as if his life depended on it.

Something was wrong.... there were scattered stacks of pizza boxes arranged in a circle around the car, and there were wires running out from each one of those boxes, leading to a nearby building. It was a trap! Psychonaut looked up and saw a man in a trenchcoat sliding down a long rope which had been hanging over the intersection, and he quickly dove out of the way.

"Going somewhere, mister Naut?" shouted the man in the trenchcoat and fedora, as he stood in the center of the street, holding a device with a trigger. It could very well have been a detonator.

"Who... are you?" replied Psychonaut.

"Who am I, mister Naut? Why, I am the vigilante cleaning up the streets of Fatlington. I am the greatest superhero of all time. I am the avatar of justice. The bringer of decency. I am the next Captain America, the first, last, and best hope of Fatlington. And you are nothing more than a common lurking criminal, and I will be the end of you!" said the man in the fedora. Psychnaut noticed that the man was also wearing some kind of goggles, probably to protect against explosive forces.

"You're wrong about that, mister Guy."

"Guy? There's no Guy here. Are you ready to face your inevitable death, mister Naut? This trenchcoat is not what it appears. It is lined with only the finest reinforced steel mesh, armor plating, and layers of insulation. I could detonate these explosives and incinerate you instantly, and not get a single scratch on me."

"Oh yeah? What about your face?"

"What about my face? What are you getting at?" shouted the trenchcoat man.

"The coat might survive, but your head wouldn't. You haven't really thought this through, have you? Unless your fedora can withstand an inferno and somehow also protect your exposed face, you're about to blow your own head off, wiseguy."

"Hey! I'm not a wiseguy! So what if I did some things before I graduated high school, my record has been expunged! And another thing, I'm far more bulletproof than you might imagine! And I'll prove it to you right now!"

>click<

>click…click<

"Hmm... the uh, trigger seems to be malfunctioning. No matter, I can do this the old fashioned way. Ever seen a chicago typewriter, Mister Naut?" the man reached into his coat and drew a Thompson sub-machine gun.

Psychonaut quickly reacted, raising his hand, aiming directly between the eyes of the 'vigilante', and squeezed the trigger. The results were immediate, and overpowering.

"Gah! My eyes! The goggles do nothing! You've blinded me! Stop shining that flashlight in my eyes, you gutter-dwelling scumbag! I'll open fire!"

"Askthepizzaguy???" asked Psychonaut incredulously. "Just what in the heck do you think you're doing?"

"Saving Fatlington from scum like you! Oh blazes, I can't see anything... and my gun's jammed. I'll get you Psychonaut, if it's the last thing I do! You haven't seen the last of the Neutral Avenger!"

"Yeah, whatever, see you at the meeting tomorrow, Pizza." said Psychonaut as he calmly walked away.

"Hey, come back here! I'm not finished with you yet! Darn this detonator... I thought it had a 5 second fuse.... or was it fifty seconds? I can't remember...."
Psychonaut got back into his vehicle and drove away, just as the stacked boxes of explosive-laden pizzas finally exploded. But the charges were far, far too small to be deadly. Nothing more than common fireworks. Askthepizzaguy was covered in a shower of cheese, sauce, pepperonis, and bits of the cardboard boxes. Even worse, his fedora blew away in the explosion. Askthepizzaguy would later go home and hide under his couch, crying like a little girl.

The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey


“…and so another bloody night comes to an end. It wears on a man, it does, seeing so many good folks cut down….”

Fermanagh took a moment to review his notes and get the maudlin out of his voice.

“We’ve got more post-mortem investigations for you.”

“The committee’s second lynch choice is hard to evaluate.” Subotan initially appeared guilty to our evaluators, but further review found that the evidence against him was related to a case four years ago in Asbury Park – a case that had already been solved. That evidence had been edited to look as though Subotan were part of it and guilty as sin, but one of the investigators had worked that case and knew that it simply wasn’t true – someone had planted it. We are unsure what was going on there or why. They were able to determine that Subo’ was a minor criminal – a wiseguy – but there was no apparent connection to any mafia activity. In fact, he was rumored to have been working WITH a completely inoffensive name, sometimes known as Cal King, who was confirmed as a townie with a bit of an aggressive streak in him – not unlike several of you sitting here I suspect. Still, we hope that this sacrifice will have served our long term goal.”

Fermanagh grimaced as he looked at his notes, visibly disturbed.

“Not to put too fine a point on it, citizens, but Fatlington was well and truly corncobbed by the killings that night – and I lost two of my best detectives. Yes, that’s right, El Barto and TinCow were both detectives on the Fatlington Police clandestine squad. Both men had brilliant careers and were trying to sift through the names involved to help us bring about justice. They will be missed and our flags are all going to half-mast as of this moment.”

“Nor does it get any better from there. Xenoneb was a Fatling townie, reputedly hunting Mafiosi in a vigilante team. He is not known to have had mafia connections. Saints preserve us, but Arjos was the FBI Agent in Charge, working in Fatlington convertly at the behest of Hoover himself. Yes, damn it, I know what that means – three of our detectives were killed in the same evening and at least one of those at the hands of the mafia.”

Fermanagh looked as though he would say something more, but then he just waved Generalhankerchief to the podium. A grim committee settled down to the business of the day.

Anybody who was privy to any of the Detectives' results before they died, please contact me. I'm not asking for any information at the moment, just looking to sort all of this out.

-edit- Anyone seeking to become a Rogue Detective would do well to talk to me as well.

While I cannot comment on my previous actions, I think that if you re-read my posts both while I was alive and after I was dead, you may discover the information you are looking for.

Let me see if I got this right: Edse was shot at while driving, while walking to his door and after entering his house? And survived, though wounded?

Re Tincow:
About five mentions of "lynch Major Robert Dump". If that was more than just behavior then the Sigurd bandwagon needs inspection. This is also relevant:


Unvote; Vote: Subotan

Erebus' detectives deserve some scrutiny, but that doesn't really invalidate the results. The rules say that Mades get innocent, criminal, and unclear; no mention of guilty. There's no real reason for scum to falsify detective results at this point. Plus, if the results are faked we will know it when Subotan explains what he was doing, plus we'll get the full autopsy on him in three days. At that point, and falsifications by the detective claimer will be apparent and the person can be exposed and lynched. This lynch is win-win.

It could be a Made if they were trying to pose as a town detective, thought Subotan would be killing/guilty, but got it wrong. If it's a town detective then there's a role in the game that can mess with investigations, I see no other option. Either way the write-up indicates something wrong and Erebus needs to cough up some information.

[Ishmael]

Ishmael was the communist right? so the first group was the commies trying to get revenge for me telling on them, they seemed to be five of them so I don't understand why they failed. Second party would have got me if I hadn't been lucky, they were five too. Leave me alone next night or I will make you suffer (empty threat)

Whilst I doubt you'll believe me, I swear to you that it was not the Communist Party that made that attack. For starters, if we decide to kill somebody - we're successful.

AA bad special trait? Subotan did raise a hue and cry about faked investigation results, didn't he. Ooooh...

[Renata]

No, TinCow's right, that actually does look more like a power having been used to a produce a wrong result than the result itself having been made up. Never mind about Erebus I think.

[Diamondeye]

Vote: Clitsome, his name just makes me shiver, in a bad way, just think about it.

We used this argument already :stare:


No, TinCow's right, that actually does look more like a power having been used to a produce a wrong result than the result itself having been made up. Never mind about Erebus I think.

This strikes me as one of the things a "personal", red ability could be used for. Probably only a few times during the course of a game or it would just wreck investigators.

You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?







The Anachronism hour with Saucy Slice




"Good morning, Fatlington. This is your host of The Anachronism Hour, DJ Saucy Slice. The crime wave continues... and the criminals responsible are still at large. The song you just heard was The Hand That Feeds, from Nine Inch Nails. As the... remaining... police search high and low for the mafia, we have time for News Cruise! with Askthepizzaguy."

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

"So, Ask, can you tell us what happened?"




Askthepizzaguy: "Last night, the following Fatlings were attacked and survived: Askthepizzaguy, Drunk Clown, Edse, Erebus, and Psychonaut.

However, the following Fatlings were attacked and did not survive: Lord Brennus, Bow-wow-wow, slysnake, and Suburban Plankton.

Police reports are understandably hard to come by, but in this reporter's opinion, this is what happened:



Askthepizzaguy was attacked by a team of five vigilantes, whose plan would have worked flawlessly if it weren't for an incredible team of defenders, at least one trio of hotshot Fatlings who stopped the plan from succeeding on their own, but it would seem at least TWO doctors [.30 browning machine guns are a giveaway] which is unusual, plus additional skilled defenders rounding out the team. I have insider knowledge of this particular event; the doctor promotion squad is ensuring that others ALSO promote. In short, our efforts to create skilled defenders are nearing completion and are already massively successful.

Lord Brennus was attacked by one pair of mafia gangsters using a calling card I do not believe we've seen before; a severed toe. Not only that, but he was finished off by another pair of mafia gangsters apparently from the very same family. This is not good news.

Drunk Clown seemed to be attacked by one vigilante or gangster wannabe. It would seem the attack failed due to insufficient manpower alone.

Bow-wow-wow was attacked by a skilled band of five vigilantes with tommy guns, which would have succeeded in slaying mister Bow on their own, but he was finished off by a further band of six vigilantes with shotguns. He never stood a chance, as there was no one present to offer protection.

Edse was attacked by apparently four vigilantes. They were too few in number to finish the job. Later, he was attacked by more vigilantes, but Edse got lucky.

Slysnake was attacked and killed by a pair of faux Russian gangsters with PIAT launchers, the same we've seen before.

Suburban Plankton was killed by the same "Sewards Folly" pair of gangsters we've seen before.

Erebus was attacked by a team of highly skilled vigilantes, and survived only by luck alone.

And finally, the cat is out of the bag, Askthepizzaguy is the one responsible for all of the failed "Neutral Avenger" killings. Apparently his lone crusade to rid the world of mafia scum is ineffective because he's too much of a klutz to do the job alone, wiseguy or not. Sorry folks. My attack on Psychonaut last night revealed my identity quite conclusively. :smug:

Take that scanners! Bite me! I ain't mafia and I ain't going mafia! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! All your scans are worthless I tells you!



And that's everything, Saucy."



"Oh my god. I didn't know you were such a crazed lunatic, Askthepizzaguy. Back after these messages. What a death toll.... still, the efforts on both the attacking and defensive sides of La Resistance are not only overpowering but unmatched. They are to be commended, whoever they are."

I agree, vote: Montmorency, he's a Nazi


Here is the PM conversation I had with Monty on N1. He contacted me first, probably due to something I said in thread:


Strength through Joy, brother?

I googled that phrase and came up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_Through_Joy

"Kraft durch Freude (German for Strength through Joy, abbreviated KdF) was a large state-controlled leisure organization in Nazi Germany.[1] It was a part of the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF), the national German labour organization at that time. Set up as a tool to promote the advantages of National Socialism to the people, it soon became the world's largest tourism operator of the 1930s"


revs his Volkswagen

At this point Xenoneb posted in thread that people who want to participate in vig or defense groups should contact him.


Get a load of this Xenon fella, he must think he's the Organizer of Victory or something. Such indiscriminate Community Outreach might lead to unpleasant consequences for the man - or the Town. And I hear some might be marching to a different beat altogether - the Center Beat. Dig?

I do not dig what the Center beat is, so I try to respond without giving this away.

How do you want to do this?

Monty catches on and cuts me off, although I don't know what the deal with the wedding is. Am I invited? Will there be cake?

You trouble me. There will be a wedding before long. :flowers:

I failed a vig attempt on Monty at this point and reveal so in thread. Same day he PMs me:


Oh lol. So that's why you were acting so strange. But I'm not actually a Nazi in this game. I just enjoy inappropriately referencing Nazism IRL. :yes:
I contacted you because I was one of like two people who supported your election bid D1. I thought maybe it would give me some sort of leverage. Good will, at least.
What a lol. And here I'd even asked a detective to investigate you for N3. Perhaps you'd like me to call that off?

Make of that what you will. I would prefer to get rid of Monty, but by the same token I don't have the time to organize a succesfull hit.

Does the fact that I posted everything you posted (and more) a week ago mean nothing to you?

Vote:AggonyKing

Super scummy set of posts yesterday.

ak:I wish we could double lynch...
Me: who besides Ishmael?
ak: uh...ANYONE

[Subotan]

“The committee’s second lynch choice is hard to evaluate.” Subotan initially appeared guilty to our evaluators, but further review found that the evidence against him was related to a case four years ago in Asbury Park – a case that had already been solved. That evidence had been edited to look as though Subotan were part of it and guilty as sin, but one of the investigators had worked that case and knew that it simply wasn’t true – someone had planted it. We are unsure what was going on there or why. They were able to determine that Subo’ was a minor criminal – a wiseguy – but there was no apparent connection to any mafia activity.

As big a coup it is to catch two scum in one day, you can't just lynch two of ANYONE. The average Joe Six Pack is most likely town.

He's been doing protections, keeping his nose clean, blahdiblah.

[Montmorency]

AgonyKing: Would it really make sense for a serious mafioso to do that?

TheStranger: Not only is he a 3rd-party role, but he can alter investigation results as well? Seems far-fetched.

Ishmael: I guess we can assume that he wasn't in fact scum? And if he does turn out to be scum, what about slash and earn? Do we assume him to be a similar case to ACIN, or do we go ahead and lynch?

[Populus Romanus]

What is all this about a neutral avenger?

What is all this about a neutral avenger?
Its Askthepizzaguy, him and his single-man attacks on random people, and his so-called neutral position.

Huh? Pizza publicly announced that he was going to do this in the signup/OT thread(s).

[Renata]

From the day MRD was lynched.


That's brilliant, Tincow!

What changed you from "abstain forever" to this?

Also, TinCow was clearly the FatlingtonPD email contact. He challenged Erebus about Erebus thinking the first night's investigation targets were unlikely, and he voted MRD in the wake of the reveal of MRD's criminal result, from the same source. I have to think he had more than just criminal on MRD given his insistence and his role.

[Renata]

AgonyKing: Would it really make sense for a serious mafioso to do that?

Interesting, because nobody says he did it, except you.

[Montmorency]

Uh, Subotan said it. :3

[Renata]

No he didn't. He talked about dodgy detectives. You're talking about him altering somebody else's investigation results.

And why'd you change your vote after saying you would abstain? Afraid to vote the scummy doc, thought the Sigurd wagon was safer?

Then why didn't he just tell us? Why didn't the email say that MRD had scanned as Luca or whatever is implied here.

That was a long time ago that TinCow referred to MRD as a Luca. I'm amazed you remembered it, I never would have. Yes, I'm insinuating you remember it for a reason.

TinCow wasn't born yesterday. Drop dead bandwagons reveal nothing. Iffy uncertain ones, on the other hand? Full of information. Like just maybe someone saying he's going to abstain, then inexplicably changing his mind when the dead townie offers a tasty and safe bandwagon.

Apologies for the delayed response. I was not allowed to respond to you before today due to a ruling by Seamus. He has said it is now acceptable to me respond to as of now, but unfortunately game rules do not allow me to assist you or answer your question.

[woad&fangs]

Revealing your whole list of night actions so readily in the thread is scummy. Redacting two of them is twice as scummy. I fail to believe that what you were doing was so important that it has to remain top secret. A simple "protecting, vigging, or chilling" would have sufficed. To me it looks like you are worried that your last two nights could get you caught in a lie.

[Montmorency]

For the last two nights, I was doing personal things unrelated to the course of the game proper. Embarrassing things. But I have harmed no one; that is the truth.

Unfortunately, revealing this will not turn the tide. What will the point have been?

On N4 I protected Craterus.
On N5 I protected Sasaki.

:clown:Not Craterus and Sasaki?! That's so embarrassing.:clown:

In other news, Unvote,Vote:Montmorency, shaky explanation there, by the way, I will not be around to read your reply until this time tomorrow, so don't address your witty comeback to me and expect one back. Off to sleep then!

I don't see how a couple of protections are worth that whole "redacted" thing, it sounds like you're making up tales as you go to cover your posterior.

Vote: Montmorency

[Ishmael]

Wow, watching somebody else being bandwagoned is surprisingly entertaining *pulls over popcorn*. By the same people, too - keep an eye out on Memnon, sturmhauke and Seon, people (those are the three that have leapt out at me).

Just a reminder, if anybody wishes to join or contact the Socialist Democratic Workers' Party of Fatlington, feel free to send me a PM. Recruitment is ongoing, and with the FBI Director dead there's never been a better time to join! :yes:

EDIT: Whilst I'm not ruling out Montmorency being scum (cue him being a Don), I do think his story is more plausible than most people are presenting it - revealed doctors don't tend to last long, which presumably would be the reason for the 'redacting.' Montmorency, I apologise if this post gets you even more votes due to a Communist defending you.

[Montmorency]

Well, that's because I am. I protected Sasaki alone, for example. The Craterus protection, I did not do. I did, however, get a result email for it for some reason (I did nothing N4). Ask Andres about that: I'm CCed with him.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Doctor is a testable claim.

Nevermind :inquisitive:

I don't think doctors can attack like he said n2, and I don't think any of the protectees were attacked to lead to a promotion.

Ishmael's edit + "that's because I am" threw me off.

[Montmorency]

I already mentioned that I'm a wiseguy. Pay attention!

[Ishmael]

Ishmael's edit + "that's because I am" threw me off.

Hmm, that's interesting - I missed his claim that he attacked ATPG. Looking back at the write-up, it seems it was just a single attacker - Montmorency, would you like to elaborate on your actions that night?

EDIT: Can wiseguys successfully pull off solo attacks?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wiseguys can never pull off a successful attack solo. That is why I've been doing them to establish my whereabouts. There's no way you people would let me survive as a wiseguy otherwise.

If Monty attacked someone solo, he's likely a wiseguy, because townies risk death when they do that.

[Montmorency]

You need three wiseguys. :brood:

Pizza was complaining that everyone in the vig group on him had bailed, so I solo attacked him.

According to Pizza, someone in his PT group actually received a promotion because of me. :smug:

Which night? IIRC the promotions were due to actual vigilante teams who attacked me. Not sure if a solo wiseguy would trigger that. N2 was it? I was being attacked by an actual group, one I put together.

You sure about this, Montmorency?

[Ishmael]

You sure about this, Montmorency?

Looking at the N2 write-up, only one person attacked you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok looked back and what was extremely unusual was the group I put together wasn't in the writeup at all.

Did Seamus forget? Let me check my notes. There should have been a full group.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, I can now confirm there was a group of 5 vigilantes I ordered to attack me that night.

Not one appeared in the writeup and I believe all of them sent the orders.

As such, Seamus omitted them all from the writeup. That protection functioned due to a full group attack, I'm 100% sure of it.

[Montmorency]

Probably not tonight, but sure.

Also, one of the people planning to attack me dropped out. I'm missing a man for the attack on me.

We can't let me not be attacked, that's crazy.

Know of anyone who can help?

Ooh, I meant MSN. Anyway, you want me to attack you? Only if GH's protections don't work out (or have disagreeable targets). But what about the emails?





Ok, Pizza-man, I already told you that I would participate in a vig attempt against you. You declined to provide me with the names of my associates, so it looks like I'm attacking you alone tonight.

Countermand that order and decline to attack me. For your own safety.

Secondly, not enough time to reorganize a large vig group in the time allotted.

But, I have you marked down for protections now. Yay!

Uh, cool, I guess. :dizzy2: But the night phase is over.

Yeah, I know; you should be fine though.

Are you a wiseguy or better? Zero risk to your life for doing solo attacks if you are.






Did your group hit Moros?

I hit you, bro. Story coming up btw. Had to do something.

So you can confirm that no one in your group hit Moros?

That's a shame, I wanted to see if I could find out who did that one.

Are you sure that wasn't a Made? Maybe he put those 4 girlfriends in the writeup to throw us off the track?

Was a solo killer, I think.

Therefore, that speaks of armed gunmen, folks like you perhaps.Just curious.




You can kill by yourself.

Say what now? Are you saying that I have a vig ability, or that I'm not allowed to participate in your groups? Really, no offense. I'm not actually a fascist.

Well listen, the protection on me succeeded; one defender is offered a doctor promotion thanks to you. So no one else showed up, and 5 defenders (5 iron thingies) showed up to defend me.

So you can kill people, by yourself, correct?

You can be part of my groups, but by the sounds of things you don't need to. You can attack solo>?

You-said-you-said!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay, okay.

Memory is fuzzy and so are my notes.

But what I said is true. There is a missing vig group in the N2 writeup. The protection probably functioned because of that.

[Choxorn]

Doctor is a testable claim.

Nevermind :inquisitive:

I don't think doctors can attack like he said n2, and I don't think any of the protectees were attacked to lead to a promotion.

Ishmael's edit + "that's because I am" threw me off.

You seem to have trouble keeping your story straight there.

Nah, I just didn't want to reveal everything. :shrug:

whats strange however is that he claims he protected you on his own and then says cuz i am to the ishmael alluding that he might be a doctor. also that he gets credits for a protection he never did according to himself is weird, but it might be due Seamus making a mistake or due some red text? i dont know...

Two pairs of shooters opened up on edse as he idled at the red light.

Edse had just stopped the car when someone behind him in his blind spot shouted

“Ishmael’s revenge!”

and started hammering away. Three other gunmen chimed in and the shots shattered windows and caromed off the armored sides of the car. edse hunkered down and slammed his foot on the accelerator, racing through the intersection blindly to avoid the deadly hail of gunfire. All it would have taken was one car stopping in front of edse to prevent his escape and sooner or later the firepower – even by ricochet – would’ve got him. Instead, edse made good his escape.


it seems that Edse was attacked by 8 people and survived...? yet the writeup suggests that he survived because there werent enough. maybe two groups of 4?? and whats with ishaels revenge?

whats strange however is that he claims he protected you on his own and then says cuz i am to the ishmael alluding that he might be a doctor. also that he gets credits for a protection he never did according to himself is weird, but it might be due Seamus making a mistake or due some red text? i dont know...

It is weird but not unheard of. I and a few others received a result night 1 of me (failing to) protect Earthling, which I certianly did not order.

Unvote:Montmorency; vote: Clitsome

[The Stranger]

strange...

i doubt seamus would be making such mistakes repetitive. something else seems to be going on...

[LazyMcCrow]

Montmorency the bandwagon of the day?
Vote: Sprig Your initial vote on Montmornecy was scummy as hell and you don't even bother to give a reason for your switch to Clitsome. What's your deal?

[Winston Hughes]

Back off Montmorency, guys, he's actually explaining himself. Then again I've gotten the impression that the lynch of this game is just about finding someone to lynch so you can live another day yourself... There seems to be almost zero town action here.

Hard to disagree with that. However...


Vote: Clitsome - again.

Vote: Diamondeye - again.

You're going to have to do better than that, I'm afraid. :stare:

[Visor]

Unvote; Vote: Diamondeye

[edse]

it seems that Edse was attacked by 8 people and survived...? yet the writeup suggests that he survived because there werent enough. maybe two groups of 4?? and whats with ishaels revenge? It seems to have been two groups of three, one of them being communists. So in fact I was attacked by 3 groups. Why did you have to choose the most paranoid around here? I won't be able to sleep tonight.

[Montmorency]

doctors can attack ppl anyway but he now claims hes not a doctor.
whats strange however is that he claims he protected you on his own and then says cuz i am to the ishmael alluding that he might be a doctor. also that he gets credits for a protection he never did according to himself is weird, but it might be due Seamus making a mistake or due some red text? i dont know...

I didn't allude to being a doctor, Ishmael made that leap on his own.


So I think the real quesion is, why did the attack on Pizza function if you attacked him all alone?

A. Pizza was right and Seamus made a mistake; there should have been a group described.

Seamus would have had to either notice that there was a group to credit for the attack, remember to give pt credit, but then forget to write it in. Or, he would have had to see that only one individual was attacking, and then accidentally credit the pt group. Both seem like unlikely oversights, even for a game of this size.

B. Even failed attacks trigger protections. Whether there are 4 attackers or only one doesn't affect this.

Regarding DiamondEye: many other individuals have voted me for "reasons [they] don't have" - as they have been doing for a while. They're not all scum, surely. Diamondeye and Sprig have both been voted; what distinguishes them from each other and the rest of the described mass?

[Visor]

He also did it for Clitsome.

Unvote:Montmorency; vote: Clitsome

I find this a weird reasoning. First voting for Montmorency and than unvoting him because there is a possibility he's innocent (that's always a possibility). Did Sprig want to vote for mafia to improve his voting record and later realized that he may help lynch a family member?

Vote: Montmorency
FOS SPRIG

[Death is yonder]

Hmm admittedly Monty's explanation is rather shaky, especially the part where he redacted his protections of Sasaki and Craterus. It almost seems to imply that he had something to hide/was afraid of revealing.

However, the situation about his solo protecting/vigging or whatever is going on seems odd and a tad unclear, I guess I'll wait for Seamus to clarify on that part.

Not sure whether Tincow's comments post-death to look at his alive activity in thread to determine his investigation targets has any significance to Sigurd or just limited purely to MRD.

Anyway:

Vote: TLD

Posts strike me as hiding behind a veneer of contrived 'analysis', or maybe its just that he's more muted than his normal spammaliciousness usually the case and lacking his signature outspoken all consequences be darned style.


Good reasoning

vote: Memnon His name starts with an M.


So to "cure" this problem you vote for the guy with the strange name... again?



Nice wagon you got there. Now who on there is scum? Please raise your hands

Seems like generally a wave of short safe posts that comment upon anything that will probably result in little fuss.

[TheLastDays]

I am actually trying to create fuss with these posts. People vote others on zero reasoning and I want them to speak up about this.

The reason I'm not spamming talking as much as usual is because I try to respect this (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?137944-Capo-IV-anti-spam-message-MUST-READ).
If it's public demand I will gladly resume my usual style of posting :yes:

I am not trying to fly under the radar, I am trying to bring things up on the radar, like Memnon's and DE's vote today, same goes for fyremarble's vote ON Memnon. We are several days into the game and this random votes with random reasons thing has to stop!

[The Stranger]

It seems to have been two groups of three, one of them being communists. So in fact I was attacked by 3 groups. Why did you have to choose the most paranoid around here? I won't be able to sleep tonight.
where do you see 2 groups of 3.

i see one group of 4 and the write up mentions one person saying ishmaels revenge and then opening fire after which 3 more gunmen also open fire.

where is the other group of 3? if there are three groups its 4 ppl, 1 person and 3 ppl. but think the 1 and 3 are the same group so 2 groups of 4.

[edse]

Two pairs of shooters opened up on edse as he idled at the red light.

Edse had just stopped the car when someone behind him in his blind spot shouted

“Ishmael’s revenge!”

and started hammering away. Three other gunmen chimed in and the shots shattered windows and caromed off the armored sides of the car. edse hunkered down and slammed his foot on the accelerator, racing through the intersection blindly to avoid the deadly hail of gunfire. All it would have taken was one car stopping in front of edse to prevent his escape and sooner or later the firepower – even by ricochet – would’ve got him. Instead, edse made good his escape.

You are right, I read "two pairs" as "two". So one communist group of 4, one normal group of 4 and then one group of 5 that almost killed me.

I understand why the commies would like me dead but not the other two groups. Probably groups organised by two different persons, one most likely being Xenoneb's as I early bailed on that one. The failed 4 person group could be fubbleskag's.

[TinCow]

Not sure whether Tincow's comments post-death to look at his alive activity in thread to determine his investigation targets has any significance to Sigurd or just limited purely to MRD.

My comments were simply that if people read my posts and connect the proper dots, they will find at least some of my investigation results. As far as I am aware, it would be against the rules for me to confirm whether anyone has figured out what my results were, so there's not much more I can say than that.

Yes, I continue to believe that Sigurd is scummy and should be disposed of. I do not buy Sigurd's 'fun' defense, nor am I inclined to spare someone I think is scummy simply because they are entertaining. I still believe Sigurd is a mafioso or, at best, a wiseguy/townie who has committed himself to becoming a mafioso. Even if he did not start as a mafioso he is now such an obvious recruitment candidate that his starting status really seems somewhat irrelevant.

Wow, watching somebody else being bandwagoned is surprisingly entertaining *pulls over popcorn*. By the same people, too - keep an eye out on Memnon, sturmhauke and Seon, people (those are the three that have leapt out at me).

Just a reminder, if anybody wishes to join or contact the Socialist Democratic Workers' Party of Fatlington, feel free to send me a PM. Recruitment is ongoing, and with the FBI Director dead there's never been a better time to join! :yes:

EDIT: Whilst I'm not ruling out Montmorency being scum (cue him being a Don), I do think his story is more plausible than most people are presenting it - revealed doctors don't tend to last long, which presumably would be the reason for the 'redacting.' Montmorency, I apologise if this post gets you even more votes due to a Communist defending you.
What're you saying, exactly? 'revealed doctors…' Helping a claim, maybe? It should already be known, who doctors are. At least the ones generated by askthepizzawiseguy's schemes.

If a townie were to make a case for lynching Slysnake, he would have at least mentioned the possibility that Slysnake was targeted twice because he was identified by his attackers as scum. Instead, he sound a like a mafioso who doesn't want to get blamed when the lynchee turns out to be innocent.

You know, we still have more then half of town to consider...losing two detectives and an FBI agent strikes me as more then coincidence. It most likely was an inside job...I wondered why it was so quiet the first night out.:inquisitive:

An inside job? That implies some kind of betrayal be people in-the-know. Of the three of us I was the only one killed by the mafia, the other two were townie 'vig' hits. I never told anyone my role, so there was certainly no inside job in my death. Whoever targeted me was just smart and/or lucky. If I had to hazard a guess, I would assume I was investigated by a Made early on, found to be innocent, and thus considered a good target since I wasn't recruitable. My hat is off to whoever did it, regardless of the reason; they played smart.

In any case, your post is scummy. There's no basis for calling the detective deaths an 'inside job' as far as I can tell, yet you throw that out there casually and use it as a basis to focus on 'more than half the town' and play down my own feelings about Sigurd. You then vote for Johhog exclusively because he hadn't read the thread. That's a lazy bandwagon, just as bad as not reading the thread. Plus, not reading the thread proves nothing in a game where there are multiple mafias. Skipping over thread details is a mafia tell, but only in games where the mafia know pretty much everything that is going to happen at night. In this game, no scum, regardless of their role, will know even a fraction of what is going to happen at night due to the other families, townie actions, and special roles. Reading or not reading a thread means absolutely nothing here. Your vote looks like an attempt to bandwagon without being on one of the big wagons.

What's your point, ACIN; that making jokes about math is fun? Could we please get more done and spam less? As far as I can tell, we've been fluctuating wildly between targets lately, with little to no real consensus on any of them.

Have we now.

This is too disconnected from reality to be genuine. No real consensus or changing targets is supposed to be a bad thing now? On day three or whatever this was? Nobody thinks like that for real; it's townie camouflage.


So, you forged a PM using a picture from Sigurd's photobucket account, was confident enough in Chaotix to protect him, and he then turns on you, producing this PM that you claim responsibility for, but can only be rationally attributed to Sigurd?
I'm so confused about this whole thing. Romanus has to be lying, but why? After all, it was Sigurd that forged it, right?
Anyway, for now, Vote:Sigurd.

Typical scum post. 50 words wondering about Populus' motivations, followed by a vote for Sigurd with no wondering or justification at all. He's not even parroting TinCow's reasoning -- which I continue to think is incorrect -- the vote is just there. Why is pretending to be a scum a sign that someone is one, landlubber?

FYI, just sent in the lynch writeup. I think you guys will enjoy this one. :yes:

[Renata]

N1: Protected Xenoneb.
N2: Attacked Pizza.
N3: Protected Ironside.
N4: Redacted
N5: Redacted

1. Not attacked.
2. Solo (but does show up)
3. Not attacked.
4. (craterus) Not attacked.
5. (Sasaki) Not attacked.

So you actually only have an alibi for night two. At least two of your actions (one in fact proven, the other not) were solo. I fail to see the point of that at all unless it is specifically FOR purposes of an alibi. Pizza is doing it openly for that reason and with at least a halfway decent motivation; what's yours? You redacted an oddball protection and a solo protection, not anything actually sensitive. Why bother?

And you white-knight me. I don't need the help, thank you.

[Chaotix]

[Montmorency]

Lazy McCrow's still alive. He can confirm N1. I attacked N2 because I didn't want to protect Subotan or The Stranger (whichever GH assigned to me), and Pizza ended up getting in touch too late to give me my vigmates. For N3 I have Daveshack, Silver Jan, Frozen In Ice, and God Emperor as witnesses.

You'll understand why I redacted what I did in a few hours. Await my valediction.


you white-knight me. I don't need the help, thank you.

but Vote:Montmorency for having contradictory claims. Even without this new chaotix accusation, there seems to be little effectiveness in night actions and two are clearly redacted.

also sprig is scooting on by quite scummily; that's not particularly good. I'd also like to fos: hero di classico.

Frozen In Ice?
Did I stutter?! (points if you get the reference) There were two nights between when I protected with him and now, and I thought it was strange we were no longer in the same night group.

Nobody would claim to be mafia unless they were, thinking we'd assume they're town because they wouldn't claim mafia.
Wait, is that how it goes? Anyway...

Vote: Chaotix

Inconceivable!

[Xenoneb]

Guys. I can speak for night one. Why are you still band wagonning him? Chaotix just admitted to being Mafia!

Because I agree with Sasaki.

[GamezRule]

What the hell! Might as well.

[Craterus]
