Actually, that was also supposed to trick you.

See, the idea was, you saw me post, and then rush in only to be greeted with something you already know. Rather ingenious, if you happen to love having people in this situation.

See look, I just did it again. I bet you people thought that this post was what you had been waiting for! Ha!

(in all seriousness, it will be up very soon)

Unvote GH and Vote Sasaki.Thats just so evil that you cant be anything other then Moderator or Mafioso and we all know that those robes are just a scheme to fool us.:inquisitive:

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. The air itself was filled with anticipation.

Nobody got a wink of sleep the previous night. Some had tried, but kept tossing and turning. Others, more resourceful, had realized that no sleep would come and kept themselves busy by booby-trapping their houses. If they were to die, then they would go out fighting.

The night came and went without any stirrings. But that was not to be unexpected. The mafia, after all, had not hit a target during the hours where the sun was not up yet. This trend continued in the wee hours of the morning. Nobody moved. Breakfast was second to survival. Everyone was tense.

Finally the stirrings were broken at about a quarter past eight, when Chief of Police Beirut exited his heavily-fortified office and got in his car. No matter how risky it was (the mafia could be waiting to snipe him, after all), he realized that as Chief of Police he would eventually have to take some kind of initiative.

He turned his key in the ignition. The car started up and it didn't explode.

"Well, that's a good sign," he said to himself. Minor victories were still victories, after all.

As Beirut, drove around the desolated Frontroom, he shook his head about how much had changed. In a matter of one week the place had gone from the heartbeat of life to a ghost town. The only living inhabitant aside from himself (that he could see) was ominously a vulture, flying overhead.

Finally, the car reached its destination and Beirut got out. He looked around. Mafiosi could be hiding anywhere. Or possibly in plain sight. Nervously, he knocked on the house's door. It was one of the few that was still lit from the inside.

The door opened, and the Chief of Police found himself staring at Kommodus, who grinned. Was it in relief or was it twisted? Beirut couldn't really tell.

"Is it secret? Is it safe?"

Kommodus looked at him oddly. "Of course it is. You didn't think I wouldn't put high security on this kind of thing, especially after what's happened?"

"I wouldn't know. I'm more of an outdoorsy person. Besides, this could all be a large ruse."

Kommodus nodded. "It could."

Beirut was now extremely high-strung from the conversation that had been taking place. He stumbled over his words for a bit, then recovered.

"Look, don't play games with me. For the safety of the good people, I'm taking the item over to my office. If you die today then all we have worked for will have been in vain."

Kommodus grew angry at these words. "Safety? You're the guy who was overseeing things when this town went to hell! Under your watch the mafia have killed all but four of us! Why should I hand it to you? No, I'm taking it and I'm leaving here!"

That was all Beirut needed to hear. "You mean like what Pannonian tried, before he was killed? You're not going anywhere until I know for sure people's innocence." Both men pulled out their guns at the exact same time and pointed them at each other. Mexican standoff.

"If only I had been a little quicker," both men thought. Now they were stuck. The impasse lasted for over an hour.

Finally, the door burst open. Crazed Rabbit barrelled his way in, looking wildly around, gun in hand.

"Kommodus, where is it? Let's take it over to my place, I spent the whole night booby-trapping it! It's a fortress!" He froze in place, transfixed at the Mexican standoff. It just so happened that when this happened, his gun was pointed at the Chief of Police.

Kommodus moved his gun away from Beirut to Rabbit. "So you've finally tracked it down, eh? Well, it's not going to work. Stick 'em up, mafioso!" Beirut, meanwhile, kept his gun pointed at Kommodus.

"I don't think so, trying to endear yourself to me at the last minute. You're under arrest!"

Rabbit was totally confused, or maybe he just seemed that way. In any case, he didn't move his gun away from the Chief of Police. "Why are you here, anyway, Beirut? Have you been deceiving us this entire time?" The three men now had their guns pointed at each other. The argument quickly deteriorated into a screamfest.

Meanwhile, a car pulled up to Kommodus's driveway. In it were two people that seemed friendly to each other.

They were Kagemusha and Stig.

Kage opened the door without knocking. "Hey Kommodus, I thought that we could all hang out at your place, strength in numbers and all... that..."

Kage trailed off. The motion of three guns simultaneously pointing at him and his buddy Stig would do that to you.

Stig stopped. "Wait! Wait! WAIT! Hold on a minute! What exactly is this item, anyway?"

Kommodus stared and lowered his gun slightly. "You mean you don't know?"

Stig shook his head vehemently. "I swear, I don't."

Beirut piped in now. "He doesn't know. I can tell when someone's lying. Kommo, why don't you tell us?"

Kommodus reluctantly explained to all that was left of the village. One could call it monologuing, the phrase coined in the popular children's movie The Incredibles when the villain makes his inevitable, long speech.

"The item that the mafia have been seeking is Holmes. My computer program that detects mafiosi. The one that has been renowned throughout the world for significantly putting a huge dent in the mafia's power and influence. As soon as UltraWar and Omanes were killed, I knew that the mafia were coming for it so I contacted most of you villagers that knew something about it and asked them to help protect it. Sadly, all of them died, including Orb, which Holmes identified early on as being a Detective. But now it's in serious danger. The only one left to protect it is, well... me. And it still hasn't given me anything yet."

At that moment a loud beeping sound came from the direction of Kommodus's computer. Rabbit was the first one to speak.

"Is... is that... it?"

"I believe so."

Beirut took charge. "Okay, I'll go first. Anyone who tries to shoot the computer will have to go through me. And I'd just like to remind potential mafiosi that I am wearing a bulletproof vest. When I give the signal, the rest of you can come and look."

Nobody listened to the last part of Beirut's orders, of course. Silently, slowly, the four villagers and their Chief of Police made their way to Kommodus's computer where Holmes had finally given its report. They got within sight of the computer... they could see the screen...

Beirut made his final announcement.

"According to Holmes, the two mafia terrorizing our town are...

...

...

...

...

"Dutch_guy and AndresTheCunning."

"Both of them dead, then."

"Yes, so it would seem. Congratulations villagers, WE HAVE SURVIVED!!!"

Fear and suspicion suddenly turned to jubulant celebration. The rest of the day was spent at Kommodus's house, a huge party taking place. Kommo's place was wrecked, but he didn't care. At least he would live.

The Frontroom quickly turned back to its normal, happy self with the scourge of the mafia being forever eradicated. The birds one again trilled their sweet songs. The colorful flowers once again bloomed, drinking in the sweet golden sun. And the brooks once again burbled with sweet, clear water that was headed nowhere in particular.

The villagers had survived.

Dude, there was no way I was going to write this elaborate of a scene unless it was the actual one.

I seem to remember robotic lemurs killing everyone as their pater blasted off into space in the first Mafia game I played in. Followed by everyone yelling out their frustration that the obviously guilty Lemur somehow survived.

Phhheeewwwwww..... :sweatdrop:

(That's a huge sigh of relief, which is a bit difficult to represent in text.)

After noticing the clues in GH's execution scenes, I felt a little more confident, but was still on the edge of my seat.

I have no other comments right now. I'll probably add some later.

Don't worry, it'll be up - Pannonian.

It 'll also include the kill I originally planned for Reenk (and you, as a matter of fact). Yes, that was my bad. I didn't realise the deadline was so close, even though the kill was written long before, so I forgot to send that in. I made it extremely hard, considering the story line I was going to follow, for GenH to write something up in so short notice.

Further more, Congrats town,

Especially You, Kommodus - Well done.



:balloon2:

Yeah, but that wasn't that elaborate. That was basically just Lemur monologuing with the occasional pause to answer an idiotic villager's questioning.

Trust me, this is it. :yes:

Impressive town work considering no detective & that the mafia were the last 2 lynches.

Not that I'm claiming any sort of credit for that given Sigurd & Ichigo were both innocent...........:stupido3:

Well done, survivors.

Good job Kommo and town.

So im supposed to believe that we survived? I have been more sure and sure that Kommo is the mafia mastermind,since yesterday evening.:hide:

Why is it that, whenever I'm smiling at participating in a Townie victory, nobody can ever see it? :inquisitive:

Is it because of the satin liner, wooden casket, concrete barrier and 5+ feet of dirt that I'm always trying to smile through? :yes:

Congrats townies! Good play Mafiosi! BOTH of you alive that long into the game is quite an accomplishment. Kudos all.

Yes Kage, you survived. :laugh4:

Another thought.

Please everybody contribute some good write-ups and commentary. If any person in the Gameroom deserves a 1k+ thread to his name, it is our dear General.

I guess some thoughts from the mafia about their strategy would be in order.I still cant believe that this turned out this well for us.:sweatdrop:

Wow, stinks for the mafia huh? Probably thought they had it all but sewn up and the *blam*blam*! They both get it, back to back. That's gotta be disappointing. :laugh4:

Sorry Pann and Reenk. I was waiting for Dutch but alas, he was just an hour or so too late, so I had to make a quick write-up myself, which explains why it was a bit sloppy compared to the other ones. I'm a louzy writer compared to him :shame:

As for the meat-kills from the beginning: me too, I wasn't in time to pm a write-up to GH because of Carnaval and Dutch took over. Afterwards we decided to drop the "Do you like meat"-kills.

After that, it was Dutch who put the most effort in the write-ups, I just added some elements of my own (the pale mafioso who was always referring to an earlier attempt by his victims to kill him).

I had some crazy ideas, but Dutch feared my absurd write-ups would reveal me and he suggested to hold my horses on that. He even called me 'die gekke Belg'. Where did he get that?

If we would have won, I would have killed Kage and CR in a rather, ehm, interesting way and Dutch would have made the write-up for the killing of Kommodus. And I can assure you, Kommodus' death would have been very, very painful :laugh4:

Congratulations town :bow:

Indeed! Our dear mafia chaps deserve one heck of a round of applause!:applause: :balloon2: :applause: :balloon2: :applause:

This proves that players are here are getting more experienced and clever. AndresTheCunning, it's true I had you pegged from the start, but you did one heck of a job defending yourself... and it took me ages to muster the confidence to launch a proper attack on you.

And as for you, Dutch_guy... you did a fine job of acting natural - so much so that I didn't even suspect you till the seventh round! Perhaps you were a bit like me in Mafia III - wonderful at avoiding suspicion, but not so good when it came to self-defense. Excellent effort, though.

Both of you: I liked your story; it added a nice dose of class to the game. It's always cool when the mafia seem to be carrying out some kind of master plan... :evil:

I'm still waiting with dread for the day when Holmes fails me completely. Thankfully, it is not this day. This day, the final word is:

:holmes: :logic:

Excellent game, all! Thanks to those who trusted me, and regards to those who didn't. And GeneralHankerchief - another game brilliantly hosted. It was truly a pleasure to participate.

Eep. :sweatdrop:

This is now only the second game of mafia I've managed to survive. Thanks for letting me live till the end, BTW. I totally dig the respect. :2thumbsup:

BOOOOYAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

GREAT final writeup GH, and great game.

Once again, Crazed Rabbit, the hunter of mafia from this ocean to the next, scourge of the scum, unlucky but prevalent detective, and occasional leaver of white gloves and smasher with hammers, has gained victory over the mafia, once again demolishing their efforts within the final two rounds, snatching victory from the very jaws of defeat, destroying their victory as it was nearly attained and grinding into ruin their nefarious plans!!

HUZZAH!!!

On another note - the concentration of alcohol per citizen of the frontroom has probably increased significantly since the beginning of these troubles. I suggest we villagers remedy that tonight!

Well, Dutch and I agreed at the beginning of the game that he would lurk, since he never posts alot in mafia games. I would be the noisy one, the "innocent" townie, prosecuting whoever seemed suspicious, making sure a townie would get lynched every round.

We started to kill off the lurkers for 2 reasons: 1) the detective might be lurking ; 2) let the quarelling townies lynch each other.

At the beginning of the game, I was convinced the detective was either Sigurd (who got lynched, yeeha!) or Destroyer of Hope (replaced by faust), so Orb was a very lucky kill.

Our tactic worked quite well, until Kommodus came up with 'holmes'.

I wasn't aware that my posting habits would get me detected by 'holmes' (heck, I didn't even know about the existence of such an evil tool). I was pretty convinced that I was acting rather normal compared to other games. So I started to throw accusations at him, casting doubts, trying the best I could to make that sound reasonable, and it seemed to work. Meanwhile, it was good to hear that Dutch was considered to be very very innocent.

Sasaki's absence in the thread came as a gift. I was very happy that the annoying Sasaki would get lynched, so we didn't have to murder him.

After that, we entered a crucial phase. CR's lurking and posting in other threads was another gift, so it seemed. But than he screams 'I'm not mafia'. I thought: 'Hahaha, thank you CR, that will get you lynched'. Alas, I didn't know CR's reputation of 'the honest, never lying player'.

And Dutch got lynched instead with the narrow margin of one vote... He did a helluva job defending himself, but unfortunately my buddy got lynched.

Afterwards, I saw the post which Kommodus deleted quickly to avoid giving clues to the mafia. I pm'd it to Dutch and we had a little discussion about it. We decided to kill Ichigo, since I was under the impression (from our conversation in the chat) that he didn't trust me at all and I feared he would turn against me. CA was very willing to follow Kommodus, so we decided to kill him as well.

I would try to go after CR. If that wouldn't work, I would let me 'convince' by his innocence and turn my arrows at Kommodus. When you all seemed 100 % sure that it had to be me or Stig (I didn't expect that to happen), I had to think about an explanation why I believed it wasn't Kommodus or CR (and that hurted so bad, deep in my heart, I wanted to see that annoying Kommodus lynched by the mob). I tried to frame Stig, and it almost worked: CR unvoted and voted abstain, Kage popped up and voted Stig... At that time we were soooo close. I was hoping CR wouldn't get online in time to cast his vote and would get WoG'ed for voting abstain, resulting in a tie --> night phase --> three kills=mafia victory.

Alas, CR came back in time, I wasn't here in that last couple of hours because of real life, I came back and noticed it was over...

Great game. Had alot of fun. Thank you, (evil) GH :bow:

Honesty is the best policy. Might very well have saved the town this game.

As to my lurking - I admit I didn't spend too much time on this game at the beginning, and then I thought I would see how far I could get by lurking.

It worked, and so I posted barely enough to avoid the WoGH. Noone was really suspicious, and I didn't get offed by the mafia. Andres tried to make a deal out of it for a while, until I had to pull out...the truth, which he apparently didn't see coming. The new kill write-ups after DG's lynch, both done by the pale man, convinced me DG was mafia. Stig seemed honest, and Andres had been going aggressively after me, so he got the lynch.

Heehee. How'd you like twisting in the wind, you evil mafioso you? :whip:

Crazed Rabbit

Nice. I didn't suspect either of the mafia.

I'll blame it on the lack of time I put in :p

I find it funny how you were defending both DG and Andres, Sasaki. ~;p

CR

So we actually won?
