And the same pattern as every game he was innocent in. Your excuse for changing pattern may be genuine or it may not...that remains to be seen.Quote:

Well if you were mafia you would be trying to start a bandwagon.

Should have done that a long time ago.:guitarist:
Doc, can you confirm that you are voting for GG? I think I saw it quoted but I'm not sure.
Vote: Zalmoxis
For erratic behavior.
I think it's pretty clear that the biblical angle is an attempted frame-up, but I wouldn't want to guess who's behind it just yet.
Here's another one. Drisos, you're acting very strangely.

Only one in game post:Quote:

Which contributes nothing. Not your usual behavior. What's up?Quote:

I see the suspicious eye has turned towards Zalmoxis, for good reason, it would seem. Lurking and then popping up only briefly...
Vote:Zalmoxis
Crazed Rabbit
Do i smell a bandwagon here?:inquisitive:
We may need that little wagon graphic thingee.
In my case, Sasaki (now known to be innocent _ RIP) startinged (<- oops, edited) the ball rolling but couldn't vote. This gelled something I'd been thinking about since posting the initial vote analysis list. Zal' might be able to derail this one, but after the last couple of games I respect Sasaki's hunting skills.
Hmm... Ignoramus or Csar... I believe one of them is mafia.
But I will go with Csar. If Ignoramus was a mafioso, he's made some really terrible mistakes. I also have some suspicions of Zalmoxis.
Vote: Csar
EDIT: Btw, forget what I said before about BQ being innocent. The fact that there are grape references in the kills and that he posted that wanaka thing points straight to him. (the way it was before I couldn't get any credit for being right either way and I need to repair my somewhat damaged record)
I'm surprised you guys have actually let me get away with lurking for another 2 days like this. Only Sasaki noticed, doesn't miss a trick, that one....
I'm only 1/2 way through the thread because work is a zoo (usually happens when you're off for a week) and the power supply on my desktop at home is blown.
But, from what I can gather, the mafia is actually pretty sharp, though they're trying to look like a bunch of noobs.
Lurking and then popping up briefly would be a good reason to lynch over half of the town right now, so I can't go there. Zalmoxis won't be getting my vote. I'm standing by the "too clever by half" mafia theory....
Vote: Kagemusha
Vote: Kagemusha
He's being suspicious in the chat, and annoying.
Thanks Disco. Well i guess i should be killed in each game just to be sure.:thumbsdown:
Not that many people have voted. I'm going to extend time for a few more hours.
If anybody wants to send in the required PMs early, that's fine.
Hm, lot of meandering speculation the last day or so, and I'm not convinced anywhichway yet.
Vote: Abstain
Will probably change this after I get back from eating out tonight if voting is still open
Vote: Csar
Day #3 Voting thus far (as of 8:48 EST):
Zalmoxis = 3 (Crazed Rabbit, Seamus Fermanagh, Xiahou)
Csar = 2 (Ignoramus, Silver Rusher)
Destroyer of Hope = 2 (Kagemusha, Reenk Roink)
Kagemusha = 2 (Discovery1, Don Corleone)
Crazed Rabbit = 1 (Kommodus)
Drisos = 1 (Sigurd Fafnesbane)
God’s Grace = 1 (Doc_Bean)
Ignoramus = 1 (Csar)
Sigurd Fafnesbane = 1 (Destroyer of Hope)
Abstain = 1 (Proletariat)
No Vote = 9 (AggonyDuck, Craterus, Divine Wind, Drisos, Dutch Guy, God’s Grace, Husar, Masy, Zalmoxis)
I don't know, prole usually voted for someone, even if it was not based on anything and more for fun than anything else, now she starts abstaining for some reason?
Then again, she may change her vote.
discovery1 likes talking in capital letters which is why the first kill reminds me of him but that alone doesn't seem like a good reason.
I think I can buy into the Zalmoxis thing/bandwagon/whatever because, erm, others explained that...
Vote: Zalmoxis
Voting over.
Stand by for the execution.
"Take a handful and pass 'em on!"
Those were the orders that Chief of Police Beirut had given to the Frontroom villagers shortly after he had closed the voting. A large bucket of stones were being passed around, since stoning to death was the method of execution for the day.
The only person who did not take a handful was Zalmoxis, who was to be the recepient of the stoning. In a day where a number of votes were thrown a number of different ways, his name came up most often. He was not happy to be executed with nothing near a majority of votes. He looked totally disgusted as he was brought up to the execution platform.
Once on the platform, Zal was puzzled. There was nothing to tie him to. There was nothing to stop him from running for it. But then Beirut brought out the stapler. The crowd cheered.
"Hey, what are you going to do with tha - OW!" Zal grunted as his feet were stapled to the platform.
Beirut now addressed the crowd.
"Gentlemen," he began, you have found Zalmoxis guilty, and he is thus sentenced to death by stoning. Zalmoxis, have you anything to say before you are executed?"
Zalmoxis, aware of how little saying things would help him, only replied: "Yeah. Don't be too hard."
"Okay," Beirut said. Wait for me to get out of the way - OW! WAIT FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU NITWIT!"
Cursing the villager who threw the rock, Beirut made a "fire" motion with his arm, and the stoning of Zalmoxis began.
The four people who had voted for him (Seamus Fermanagh, Xiahou, Crazed Rabbit, and Husar) were most enthusiastic with their throws, but eventually the other villagers joined in. After all, this was fun!
The stoning went on for about five minutes before Husar finally fired on-target and ended Zalmoxis' life (there, you happy?). The townspeople went home, all feeling happy deep down inside. Nothing better than an interactive execution.
Here is the voting total for Round 3:
Zalmoxis: 4 (Seamus Fermanagh, Xiahou, Crazed Rabbit, Husar) :skull:
Destroyer of Hope: 2 (Kagemusha, Reenk Roink)
Csar: 2 (Silver Rusher, Ignoramus)
Kagemusha: 2 (Don Corleone, discovery1)
God's Grace: 1 (doc_bean)
Sigurd Fafnesbane: 1 (Destroyer of Hope)
Drisos: 1 (Sigurd Fafnesbane)
Ignoramus: 1 (Csar)
Crazed Rabbit: 1 (Kommodus)
Abstained: 2 (Proletariat, Dutch_guy)
Didn't vote: 7 (AggonyDuck, Craterus, Divine Wind, Drisos, God's Grace, Masy, Zalmoxis)

??? mafia don't care who gets killed as long as it isn't one of their own. Starting a bandwagon is only a viable tactic if you're on the verge of losing, I was one of the first to post a vote (I think, not many people voted) so I couldn't be protecting someone.Quote:

Kommodus (one of those who shut himself indoors) was in his flat, working on his super secret Mafia catching machine. Though engrossed in tightening the nuts and bolts, he clearly heard his door creak open.
Always alert, Kommodus jumped and spun around, wrench clasped tightly in his hand.
He caught sight of a tall, shadowy figure, wearing a wide brimmed hat with grapes on it.
“The Wanax!” Kommodus exclaimed.
The Wanax chuckled softly, or at least that was the impression Kommodus got, even though the dark void face of the Wanax remained static. “Greetings, Kommodus.”
“Why are you here to kill us Wanax?” Kommodus demanded, fear and anger both present in his voice.
“Kommodus,” The Wanax replied in his soft but chilling voice: “This is my domain. You villagers are usurpers. You all must be removed.”
“We have rights!” Kommodus blurted out. “Us villagers have the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and estate!”
The Wanax chuckled again, as he plucked a grape from his hat. Kommodus watched as the grape dissolved into the face void. “My dear Kommodus, please don’t quote Locke to me. He is one of my favorites you know; brilliant man. However, he tends to be misinterpreted by the fools. I should add a corollary to his Second Treatise: ‘-under the discretion of The Wanax-’”
The Wanax changed his train of thought: “So Kommodus, can you guess what manner of death I have prepared for you?”
Kommodus, seeing nowhere to run or hid, tried to talk his way out: “Um – Dear Wanax sir, how can one possibly know anything?”
The Wanax snickered and replied: “What nonsense you utter Kommodus.”
Kommodus continued: “Let me elaborate. How can one possibly have justification for any knowledge? How can either one of us know that the other exist?”
The Wanax replied: “Kommodus, this useless discourse tires me. How can I not know what certainty of sight grants me?”
Kommodus replied: “But Dear Wanax, does not your vision fail you at times? Our sensory perception is not perfect. We often see things that are not really there.”
The Wanax scoffed: “Hmmph! The Wanax is not like you.”
Kommodus said: “But Dear Wanax, do not you see like us?”
The Wanax was silent.
Kommodus continued: “How are we to tell, if our present dialogue is nothing but a dream? Or perhaps we are suffering a hallucination. Or perhaps we are brains in a vat, our thoughts and senses are completely manipulated by outside forces. How can either of us know if the other actually exists?”
The Wanax was silent.
Kommodus ended his argument: “We could be systematically deceived. There is no reason to hold the normal hypothesis over any alternative hypothesis. Thus we are not justified in believing any hypothesis.”
The Wanax was clearly perturbed by this reasoning. Though his face remained a static void, Kommodus could plainly see this.
At length, The Wanax finally replied. His tone was markedly different from the supercilious and evil one he usually had: “Kommodus, you speak the truth. Or, to not be dogmatic, you speak a reflection of the truth that is very persuasive. Even Locke’s explanationism cannot fully wash away the doubt you have argued in favour of.”
Kommodus relaxed. He had actually stopped The Wanax dead in his track utilising wit.
The Wanax, after a long period of introspection finally said: “The Wanax is dear to us, but truth is also dear to us -”
The Wanax plucked another grape from his hat and “ate” it before finishing his sentence. Kommodus was extremely relieved. He expected The Wanax to finish the quote in the way Aristotle did.
How disappointed he was then when The Wanax finally said: “Nay, but the Wanax is dearer than truth.
“Oh don’t worry too much Kommodus, you will enjoy a drink with me before your death.”
Kommodus was found lying on his floor dead. Next to him was an empty bucket. It did not take a forensic specialist to see that the bucket was previously filled with schwedentrunk. What did remain a mystery to the villagers was whether Kommodus suffered a quick death by choking, or if he had suffered unbearable gastric pain as his stomach swelled to accommodate the vast amount of the vile liquid poured down his throat.
Of course, lying in a pool of schwedentrunk nearby was a business card with a grape watermark. Embossed on it were the words: The Wanax.
Proletariat knew nothing about the philosophical discussion and the murder by schwedentrunk that had taken place. All she knew was, she was innocent, she was most likely going to die soon, and darn it, she was going to enjoy life until it ended.
Not caring about the repercussions, Prole put on a coat, went out to the car, and drove to her favorite sushi bar, where she was a regular.
Prole feared that the recent attacks by the mafia had completely eliminated the restaurant staff, thus depriving her of her tasty sushi, but one such man had survived. He was dressed in a trenchcoat and wearing sunglasses. Prole was ecstatic that somebody was still working there.
"Welcome to the Frontroom sushi bar," he said. "Service may be slow since I am the maitre'd, waiter, chef, and busboy, but I shall do my best to provide you with the most enjoyable last meal possible."
"Pardon?" Prole had apparently caught the "last meal" bit.
"Last meal before you go to sleep, silly." The man was smooth. "It is what dinner is, is it not?" Somewhat reassured, Prole nodded.
"Excellent," the man said. "Now, what would you like?"
Prole gave her order and watched as the man wrote it down.
"Very good choice. I will now take the order to the chef." The man walked away and began to make Prole's last meal. Instead of the usual delicate white fish, however, the mafioso prepared fugu, making sure that it was improperly cleaned.
Under the mafioso's eye, Prole took one bite of the fugu and knew that she was doomed. The poison quickly paralyzed all of her muscles but left her conscious to examine, in horror, that her lungs were failing.
The mafioso looked over with a smirk as his victim slowly asphyxiated. When Prole died, he left her where she was and pinned a note to her body:
"Judith 13:10"
Later that day, Chief of Police Beirut gathered the ever-dwindling villagers in the town square again. He looked even more grim than usual.
"Gentlemen," he began, "it is my sad duty to say that three people have died today."
The crowd murmured in shock. Three? Had the Godfather sent reinforcements? How could they ever survive?
Meanwhile, Beirut continued. "Kommodus and Proletariat have been murdered in the usual way, and Divine Wind was found dead this afternoon. He had committed seppuku, dying honorably. We salute the dead villagers."
A short period of time was dedicated to the mourning of the dead.
"Okay, we've got that out of the way. Now it's time to vote."
Note from GH: Divine Wind PM'd me saying that he had massive computer problems and that he has no time to get on at work. He also apologizes to everyone. Good luck with the computer, DW.
Interesting, but don't expect any thoughts from me now.:beam:
edit: now there I have one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Judith
As I already thought, this time the killer took a book that is not in the bible, either someone has a somewhat non-biblical christian religion here or likes this kind of stuff?!?!?
