I don't have much on the list except a link to a suspicious player. That's why there's no number next to his name. You can't expect GH to mess up day 1.Quote:

Night One Summary
Beefy187 had kept his evening fairly low-key. After the selection meeting, he’d gone to his office, finished up a little paperwork and then headed to a corner “tappy” for a beer. After wetting his whistle, he walked back out into the muggy dark, turned the corner, and began the 3-block walk to his apartment.
He got about 20 feet, just approaching the trapdoors to the tappy’s cellar when two cars whipped up to the curb at his side, only feet away. Out popped 4 men in dark trench coats, with their soft-brimmed hats low over their faces and their hands cradling PPSh41’s. The Russian “burp gun” was a brutal looking weapon and all 4 were pointing at him as the gunmen pulled back the bolts and made ready to fire. Beefy was stunned, too scared to run, and hadn’t even begun to mutter a final prayer when…
<<click.>> <<click.>> <<click.>> <<click.>>
All four of the brutally simple and thoroughly reliable weapons failed to fire. The gunmen were stunned – the odds of all four weapons failing to fire defied description! Beefy began to move at last, scrambling to pull open the cellar door to the tappy and make an escape. The gunman cleared the bolts and quickly rammed fresh magazines into their weapons as Beefy opened the hatch and stepped onto the ladder to the cellar.
<<click.>> <<click.>> <<click.>> <<click.>>
Stunningly, all 4 freshly-loaded weapons jammed and failed to fire again. The gunmen were shocked with disbelief. No one could have tampered with the weapons and all of the ammo had been checked by hand and meticulously loaded into the clips – yet none of the weapons got off a round.
Beefy wasted no time dropping into the cellar and running pell-mell up to the bar with it’s barkeeper’s shotgun and plenty of witnesses. As he reached the tap-room, he heard the squeal of cars making a fast exit from the scene. Beefy’s pulse would slow down eventually, but he managed a few prayers at last as well as a few brews to steady his jangled nerves. He decided to go to an all-night café after the tappy closed. Alone didn’t seem to be such a good idea.
Drisos didn’t mind operating alone. He preferred it. He would work with others as needed , of course, but he was aware that the only person upon whom you could rely completely was yourself. Now he completed engaging the elaborate sequence of locks and alarms he used to secure his top-floor studio apartment. No one could hope to get through the doors or windows without making enough noise to wake the dead – and Drisos would be ready.
But he wasn’t ready when he awoke, his limbs tied to the posts of his bed and something covering his eyes.
"Hi Drisos", a voice with an Asian accent [false?] said.
"What's the problem pal?" said another voice. “You aren’t exactly gracious to guests with all your traps and stuff.”
The “Asian” chuckled, "Rook at him. He tinks he's sho cool!"
"I'm not afraid of you!" Drisos said, mustering up whatever defiance he could.
"You probabry sho cool that when you go to sreep, the sheep start to count you..."
The “Asian” guy and his partner laughed.
"Untie me you punks!” Drisos shouted.
The heavily silenced Type 14 Nambu pistol put a neat hole directly between Drisos’ eyes. He was dead before his ears could register the heavy coughing sound they had just heard.
“Sayonara, Drisos.”
The killer’s partner carefully lifted the small pink ballet slippers that had been used to cover Drisos’ eyes. The slippers were placed carefully in “1st position” just above the entry wound.
The killers made their escape the way that had come in, through the skylight. Though wired with a breakage alarm, Drisos had not expected someone to have had the roof around the skylight sawn open and hinges installed so as to turn the skylight into a trap door – all without interrupting the alarm circuit. Drisos was found the next morning when he did not answer his page for the meeting. Fermanagh’s “crack” investigators never discovered the recently re-tarred seams around the skylight.
Glenn had always been a bit excitable, and with the prospect of having to vote to lynch somebody, his heart was racing and he had trouble staying still. <<I need a bracer, just to calm my nerves a bit,>> he thought, and began to walk up the street towards the Hotel Abbatoir and Fatlington’s poshest bar.
His walk there was anything but relaxing, with Glenn spinning at every stray sound or voice that seemed out of place. Finally, he was steps away from the hotel’s entrance when four dark figures stood up from the expensively landscaped bushes surrounding the hotel’s small entryway garden and flagpole – and all of them had tommy guns.
In the second before the gunmen opened fire, a nearby street pretzel vendor made two quick steps toward Glenn, lifted him bodily and flung him into the open bin of the pretzel cart. The gunman paused a moment, stunned by this unexpected event, as the carter slammed the cart’s lid shut and started rolling the cart toward the hotel doors. Then they opened fire.
Round after round from their submachine guns slammed into the cart but the cart was apparently both motorized and heavily armored and rolled itself through the doors of the Abbatoir and directly into the bar where it crashed up against the bar itself. The doorman was badly wounded as he accidentally came under fire from the gunmen as they kept tracking the cart with their weapons ratcheting out rounds. None of them focused any rounds on the carter, however, who took the opportunity to dropp into the driver’s seat of a cab waiting at the hotel front and speed off. With sirens blaring and witnesses beginning to look at the racket, the gunmen gave up their efforts and faded back into the sweltering darkness.
It took a bit of effort to extract a stunned Glenn from cart, stained with mustard and freshly rolled in salt, but Glenn was alive and more-or-less well because someone -- or several? – had been there to help. He never did get that drink.
Xdeathfire was having a quiet drink at an all-night coffee shop – he always claimed that the caffeine helped him sleep – when a trench-coated individual, face invisible below his hat, walked in and leveled a shotgun at Xdeathfire. Xdeathfire was up and moving for the back of the café before he’d even consciously thought about it. The first blast hit the booth where Xdeathfire had just been sitting, only a couple of pellets grazing his arm as he moved. The second blast caught the surprised busboy in the stomach as Xdeathfire headed toward the back exit. There was nobody waiting at the back exit, and Xdeathfire was moving quickly toward the police precinct house in the next block.
The gunman, realizing that things were not going according to plan, made a quick exit, dropping the shotgun in the drain. Nobody got a good look at the shooter.
Morning, Day Two
It was mid-morning and the heat was already oppressive. The convention center had air conditioning – a luxury that would normally have made the meeting a cheerful alternative to a sweaty day at the office. Today’s meeting featured a lot of quiet murmuring and more than a little apprehension. Today the Committee would embark upon its first effort to stop the mafia takeover. Today would be a beginning…and an ending.
Fermanagh hadn’t shaved and didn’t look as though he’d slept much or well. For a wonder, the top cop of Fatlington had been up before 7, at his desk by 8 and was here for the 10 o’clock meeting sober. Definitely a banner day for Fatlington’s finest. He went to the podium.
“Well now, before I turn the proceedings over to Director Kommodus, I’d like to brief you on the events of last night, just in case any of you haven’t already heard…”
He recounted the story of last night’s events in a reasonably business-like manner. Fermanagh wasn’t happy, and he’d stumbled a bit in announcing Drisos’ death, but he’d had to make less pleasant reports before – perhaps this time around would be less of a horror show. He shook his head. This was Fatlington, and rooting for “happily ever after” wasn’t much more likely than making four the hard way.
“So that’s it, and you can be assured that I’m having the morgue crew and the standard investigation teams take a good look into Drisos‘ background – we will get you some answers soon. As it is, I know you’ve got a decision to make, so I’ll turn it over to Kommodus and he’ll brief you as to our meeting this sundown….”

Hmm...
So vigilante groups hit both Beefy and Glenn, but both survived, Beefy because of sheer luck, or maybe something else...? and Glenn because of a protection group.
Drisos died from an Asian mafia gang, Japanese perhaps?
Xdeathfire looks to be attacked by a serial killer maybe?
Thats all I got.
Vote Beefy, How did you survive?
Vote: Glenn
I'm rather curious as to who would be protecting him, considering a lot of people seemed to find he was acting suspiciously before night. Methinks he was a Don protected by his Luca(s).
I'd like to see Beefy's explanation for what happened.
Vote: Beefy
Vote: Glenn
Same reason as kamikhaan
4 people attacked Beefy, but Beefy survived, apparently without protection.
4 people attacked Glenn, Glenn survived, apparently he was protected by 1 person.
1 man attacked Xdeathfire, he failed.
2 men attacked Drisos, they succeeded.
Imo, this means:
2 vigilante squads were active last night, both squads operated with 4 people, both failed, one because the target was protected (Glenn), one because the target (Beefy187) was lucky? :inquisitive:
Why the hell did the vigilante attack Beefy187? His survival without protection suggests that he has a powerfull role.
pevergreen and woad&fangs were recruiting townies. People told me that pevergreen claimed to be in control of 13 people, all townies off course (yeah right). TS has been recruiting townies as well. I was in a group with Drisos, TS and Moros trying to protect Sigurd. TS claimed to have a second group. What did that group do? Who were in it?
The Stranger, pevergreen or woad&fangs, one of them must have organised the attack on Beefy187.
The one guy who attacked Xdeathfire... Somebody acting alone? A wiseguy whose friends didn't show up to the party?
The kill on Drisos was probably performed by the mafia (2 men + succesful hit).
What bothers me the most are the two vigilante squads. Sasaki, were you behind the attack on Glenn?
I'll start with : Vote : pevergreen Did you organise the attack on Beefy187? If so, then why?
im not sure my second group ever got up... i got 3 men in it... they were protecting louis... as you know 3 men is not enough for attacking persons... just for protecting.
I see. Off course we cannot check this, since Louis wasn't attacked last night. Can one or two people of your second group confirm your story?Quote:

Very early on he used the following reasoning to elect an unknown:

My guess is that we could have the same scenario here.
Vote:Glenn
Interesting. My guess is Xdeathfire was attacked by a vigelante/Serial killer. Just a hunch, though. As for Beefy, its quite possible he's got some kind of important role, but perhaps he just 'got lucky'? I'm not entirely sure how Seamus is running this. Bear in mind, its not like Beefy did anything really spectacular, a bunch of guns all malfunctioned. Quite possible we won't find out until the game is over.Quote:

Andres, what is your opinion of Glenn? It still strikes me as very suspicious that he would end up protected when there was near universal renown that was acting at least "a little scummy". It just seems odd that he, as someone with almost no mafia renown and widely considered to be acting oddly, at the least, would get protection. Hence why I think he was a Don who got protected by a Luca.
I feel like I'm being left in the dust by some of the analysis going on in this thread, but the above seems pretty accurate to me. If Beefy is powerful, doesn't that mean he isn't a townie?Quote:

:gah2:
I agree with Andres' assessment of the nocturnal happenings.
But I think we should play down Beefy's powers. I bet he was saved because the group of four townies or a mix of townies and other roles either was infiltrated by mafia/detective or someone forgot (on purpose?) to send in their pm.
Glenn was obviously protected should we follow the mechanics of CDTC I. Why would a doctor or a group of townies protect Glenn? It would take a few people to set Glenn up for a frame. First you need a group of three to protect him, then a group of four to kill him. But wouldn't the narration be different? noting three people that did the protection?
I am going to reject the set up theory and the posibility of a doctor protecting him...
Glenn was protected by one person... his Luca?
Vote:Glenn
Let's see how he answers.
vote: pevergreen
I've already explained my apprehensions with the vigilante groups at this stage but it's the leaders I'm more worried about. They're very eager to get people signed into their group and do their bidding, bit suspicious as some of them don't plan on participating in the activities of their group. It's the number of people as well, 13 seems like a lot to me (I would have stopped at 3-4, the required amount with perhaps one spare). To have one player wielding so much power seems dangerous. It's fairly likely that one vigilante group is led by a mafioso so I've picked the one I believe to have been publicised most and have the most members.
Vote: norwegian nerd
I don't really think we should allow the events prior to the night phase to totally slip our memories. So norwegian nerd, who is this friend and why were you so close to him before even the most basic townie organisations could be established?
I think we should look at the kill summaries at bit more in depth, there might be some clues to the identities of people.
Beefy
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
This to me, sounds like Beefy is at least a pro-town role. Given the fact that he was keeping low-key, it sounds to me like he has a pretty special role though. I do not know what it is, but it sounds powerful given the fact he survived an atttack by four people.(Mafia? or Vigilantes?)
As to DrisosSpoiler Alert, click show to read:
Now, why is Drisos so suspicous of people breaking into his home? This could mean that he is either a wise guy type person, or be some other special role. Either way, I do not think that is 100% pro-town. It does not matter a whole lot now that he is dead, but It is worth thinking about it at least.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Now, several of you people have been accusing Glenn of being a mafia don. This is not a baseless accusation, but from the description of things, it is pretty obvious that more than just one person was protecting him. Now, barring the unlikley event that both his luca and a protecion group were protecting him, I think it is just a protection group. But what I do not really get is why someone would try and protect Glenn? He has proven to be one of the most suspicious of the entire game, so why protect him?
Xdeathfire
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I don't really know anything about this. It is likely that is is a serial killer, though it could be a vigilante group that only had one person try and kill someone(I think the description would have been differant though). A better question would be how did Xdeathfire escape from this death?
... Wow..
I had very great fears of being murdered for my venture into the spotlight during the day - warmly cushioned by Sasaki.
Now Sasaki had really pushed for this, and Ichigo had gone along with whatever Sasaki had proposed regardless.
I obviously have been mistaken for someone's arch enemy here, or I just happened to be the first person Sasaki saw - and he has a teammate.
Either way, someone tried to kill me, my guess is Sasaki and Ichigo, and for this reason they will hammer me all through the day as their attempt failed.
If I were to reply honestly - as I have - I have to admit, I did not think there was the slightest possibility I'd be protected, but I was almost certain I'd be attacked for my writing style..
Alot of innocent-seeming people on here are attempting now to lynch Beefy, I would not suggest this based solely on the evidence he was attacked - someone may know he has a powerful pro-townie role, and thus attempted to kill him.
Or perhaps not, that is rough speculation, but after the unreasonable interrogations I suffered I am pitiful of those who receive suspicion without great merit..
That does not necessarily mean he is not pro-town.. If Beefy had been a Don(the only role that I would apply to being anti-town), then surely the explanation would have said there was someone protecting him, right?Quote:

Sorry again. My killing was luck of the draw, seems. I've been careful about my role. Bad luck... well, next game better...
Good luck, town, I might keep an eye open and cheer for all innocent people! ~:)
:bow:
There are some great holes in your explanation there. You were protected by one man. That means that man can only be a doctor or a Luca.Quote:

But a team of townies could well be bold enough to test a suspicion of you being a Don...
Now explain to me the logic behind you being protected by a doctor?
FoS @ EVERYONE!!! :yes:
Drisos. In what you base that Sigurd is a Don?
You can't reveal after you die, Drisos
