Capo di Tutti Capi III [Concluded]

Pffff...

Those last 10 pages or so (feels like 100 pages) are very worrying indeed. Mafia candidates are putting in a lot of effort here. I hope we're right about Haudegen being the last don. I hope ATPG isn't a damn commie (the umbrella still worries me).

I'm upset I don't see my name in your ode.

The CIA did invent and use an umbrella system for delivering poisons, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was originally the CIA's plan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Markov

The poisonous umbrella was a weapon used by the KGB. I have already expressed as much in private, as well as my surprise that it hasn't been mentioned before now.

Tnank-you, Myrddraal. Finally.

So I had it completely backwards, sorry then.

I know the CIA was very interested in such a weapons platform, (it feels funny calling am umbrella that, but whatever), and they had attempted to make some, unless my sources are totally wrong.

In the magical land of Fatlington city
The town was plagued by Rabbit and Kitty
A sniper, a Kopis, and a Shottie or two
And a yellow rose placed gently on you
It all began with a strange twist of fate
A mafia Made, delivered on silver plate
From then it became a debacle for scums
Wiseguys and Lucas dropping one by one.
A communist threat lurked silent within.
And G-men worked hard to put a stop to them.
Alas, a leak, and the Barzini Don dies.
Along with all of his Mades and Wiseguys.
From then on it went, each foe toppling down.
An incorruptible revealed another mafia crown.
The vigilant townies wielded Tommy guns true
And nailed yet another criminal scum or two.
And during all this, there were many detections
and organizations of townie protections.
But one such protection failed, though it handed
Town one more Don, caught lying red-handed.
In private it seems that more plans were brewing
But Reenk had nailed them all, and they were stewing,
Plotting to kill the former Director, their traitor
But in the end it seems that they all met their maker
In the darkness, another madman was creeping
Who would abduct you when you were foolishly sleeping
To take you away and tie you up tight
And butcher your body all through the night
When after this cruel dark deed had been done
This creature who lurked would decide it quite fun
To arrange the pieces of you in a five
As a warning to all others who were still alive
But even this madman helped pay his due
For he personally slaughtered another Don too
Alas, poor Beefy! I knew him, El Diablo
a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy
he hath borne a wrong lynch a thousand times
Immortalized now in these meandering rhymes
But to those who would lurk, their time soon came
For all of the lurkers are the pizzaguy's bane
A Luca, a made, they soon were banished
And a commie or two also rapidly vanished
A double lynch foiled Kojiro and Rabbit
Betrayed, they were, and they would not have it
Plotted, they did, town's final destruction
Whilst the MASTER Berserker feigned following instruction
But the demon-possessed YLC had the last laugh
And destroyed the purveyor of evil and wrath
Leaving only a select chosen few
To follow the path of the Red, White, and Blue
Or decide for themselves, which case and which clue
Would yield the victory to town upon cue
In the end, it seems, though we do not know yet
That Shinseikhaan was not quite the best bet
The man with the umbrella spoke all through the night
His walls of text were a sobering fright
From day one it seems he spoke out of turn
Attempting to reach the finish he yearned
Was all this some devilish plot?
To fool all the townies, make Fatlington rot?
Or was it well-placed advice, on the spot,
In the end the energy expended for naught?
No matter, the umbrella man muttered
It's not really a cause for becoming too flustered
Although he fought with deep dedication
The time has come now for his long-needed vacation
I bid you adieu Fatlington, and always remember
Though I may die, diamonds are forever.
And how the **** did they kill pever!

This puts my 2 line couplets in Gamers Mafia to shame. Great read Atpg. :2thumbsup: Most of the highlights included there (Chaotix's communist conversion probably deserves a mention).

Come now, Haudegen... no more games. Meet me in the center of town, and unleash the long-awaited fury of all those who have been lynched. I am unarmed, and undefended. Take your Beretta weapon, strike me down with it, give in to your anger. Do not hesitate, show no mercy.

:applause::applause::applause:

So ATPG is going to try and get himself lynched tomorrow, right? Like he promised? Certainly he'd follow through, wouldn't he?
:inquisitive:
CR

I'd rather vote for Hadugen than Pizza honestly... winning > lynching someone that promised to vote for themselves.

If haudegen isn't killed tonight, he must be removed first. In my opinion at least.

No, no no no.

I specifically took the protection off of me tonight. You have a clean shot. DO IT. Search your feelings... you know you want this. One less vote on Haudegen. Do it for the lulz. Do it for the drama. Do it for the children. Rid the town of this pizzaguy menace.

HIT ME.

Tomorrow Haudegen dies. That has precedence over ancient promises.

I think 'khaan's missing the deadline to unvote himself in time was nobody's intention.

ATPG going without defenders? :laugh4:

CR

Yes, indeed. I am not lying about that. You were so kind to come clean about things, and so have I.

OOC- please? It would make for an awesome, epic ending.

If I could kill you right now ATPG, I totally would <3

I agree with the others. Haudegen next.

In the right corner, we have the loathsome, evil, and despicable Hadugen...

Booooooo!

...and in the left corner, we have the honorable, heroic, and sexy Askthepizza guy!!!!!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Who will win the epic battle between good and evil? I don't have a friggin clue, but LET'S GET IT ON!!!

Woah, woah, woah! I am NOT Keanu Reeves!

1. First of all, I do NOT know Kung-fu!
2. I don't speak like a retarded surfer
3. When I act, it is somewhat tolerable.
4. If you shoot me, do I not bleed?
5. I am far, far sexier.

Sasaki's right about the game. The mafia didn't kill anybody because they wouldn't answer PMs. They didn't demand lynches of people who didn't cooperate. I think being able to check on the night actions of all the people, though the protections and vigilante actions, in game shifts the information advantage from the mafia to the town.

The main investigator was mafia-affiliated and could communicate with all the Dons!!! :laugh4:

If that isn't a trump card, I don't know what is.

Soooo...your saying the Mafia had there :daisy:'s handed to them??:idea2:

And yet something tells me he didn't stay mafia affiliated. And only used that communication with the Don's to funnel information to you. You definitely spoke of information only relayed to that person and to no one else in the game. So that really hamstrung us.

No. To be honest, the town really got played badly by the mafia. If we made progress, it was in spite of the brilliant play by the mafia. Sigurd sneaked under my nose a good long time, and if he hadn't made that blasphemy post, things would be worse. Also, were it not for a few mafia spilling their roles, there would be a lot more mafia alive right now. If town wins, it is because the stars aligned and fate finally tossed us a bone, and the mafia kept making self-destructive moves.

And I'm not entirely sure the game is done. Unanswered questions, suspense, etc. But if the mafia were in the majority or tied with us, we would already have lost.

Also, let me remind you how bloody the town's nose is right now. We missed the 20% mark so at best it's a marginal victory for the dead towns. If they won.

ATPG right about not being Neo. He is far better represented by Agent Smith; the government employee who kills anyone who's tone he doesn't like. He is a symbol of the overwhelming numbers and force directed against anyone he deems out of order.

Who? And the courier wasn't nearly as useful as you seem to think. And then we had mafia mades who apparently spilled their entire family rosters to known FBI detectives. And other mades who openly admitted to being mafia after being accused. For goodness' sake people, fight that. It's not impossible.

CR

Wait! Got a better one:

"Power Corrupts"....considering 1/3 of town was Mafia-affiliated

I am going to write this one down, as an Epic win:bounce:

Edit:If we didn't get played..:shrug:

You got some pretty raw deals handed to you this game, I have to admit. :no:

I am very glad that some of you very, very talented players came together to really beat the town upside the head for as long as possible. Okay, some unfair things happened to the mafia, but we lost a LOT of townies due to inactivity, even now we have a couple who aren't really doing the townie thing, just sitting on the sidelines. In my view, both sides got the shaft on occasion. Some townies dropped out (Skooma, my friend) and didn't get replaced with the standby players. If I hadn't fought Sigurd's temptations when he wanted me to start forming a family, what would have happened? Several more townies would have gone mafia and me and Sigurd would have been on the same page regarding the mafia as allies, and then we would have had a means of coordinating with them. This was by no means a landslide, this was a grueling deathmatch among titans.

You guys have me so mixed up, I still believe I am about to get owned and the mafia will still win somehow.

Oh, and one for the road...
