Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 8th, 1983.
End of Day Six
Michael was in the Manager's office counting up his money.
Michael: Well, they came close.... I nearly have all the money I'm owed. But it's not quite enough...
Meanwhile, Diana Abnoba sat at the head of the table, dealing to everyone.
Diana Abnoba: Six card draw, in honor of our sixth hand together. Deuces and aces are wild. The custom rules are, you must place an ante to get your cards, and once you are dealt 6 cards you may bet, trade in between zero and four cards, and then make a final bet. Highest five-card hand wins. Ties will be broken by the highest sixth card, beating that is a six card straight, beating that is a six card flush, and beating everything is six of a kind. Minimum bet is 1,000 dollars, and there is no maximum bet.
A few of the other patrons murmured at the choice of game, as it was a rather obscure choice. Five-card draw was the more standard variant. The large number of wild cards was also unusual. The additional sixth card also seemed confusing.
civplayah: Uh.... I guess I'm in for one.
Double A: Me too. Here's my ante.
Splitpersonality: And bob's your uncle. I'm in for one.
Diana tossed in her ante and dealt the cards.
civplayah: Umm.... I think I'll check.
Double A: Fair enough. No bet here either.
Splitpersonality: Well, I'd love to bet high and take all your money, fellas, but seeing as that would just scare you off.... no bet.
Diana Abnoba: All right. I'll check as well. How many cards do you want, gentlemen?
civplayah: Four, please.
Double A: Two, please.
Splitpersonality: One, if you would.
Diana Abnoba: And two for me.
civplayah: Oh MAN..... forget this. I am done! I fold.
Double A: I'll open with $30,000
Splitpersonality: I'll raise you $57,000, if you don't mind.
Diana Abnoba: Uh huh.... I'll call. Double A?
Double A: I'm thinking, I'm thinking..... fine, I'll just go all in, since you guys have outbid me and I don't have much left. What do I have to lose.
Diana Abnoba: Heh, right.... okay, what do you have, boys?
Splitpersonality: I have five clubs and the deuce of spades. That makes a six-card flush, under your rules. :tongue2:
Diana Abnoba: *whistles in amazement*
Double A: Okay, that's pretty good. Two aces, two jacks, and seven for my high card. That makes four of a kind!
Splitpersonality: Wait, do I win? I have a six-card flush, isn't that better than four of a kind?
Double A: I have no idea. Diana?
Diana Abnoba: Highest five-card hand wins. The sixth card is only for tie-breakers. In a tie, your six-card flush would beat a five-card flush with a higher sixth card, because it completes the flush. So in this case, four of a kind beats the six-card flush.
Splitpersonality: .....well that stinks. Who came up with these insane rules?
Diana Abnoba: Wouldn't you like to know?
Double A: Alright, Diana, it's just you and me. Show me your cards!
Diana Abnoba: :mellow:
Splitpersonality: uh oh....
Diana Abnoba: But of course, gentlemen. Like any naughty boys, you want to see the goods. And I've certainly got the goods this time. Read them and weep:
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...Dianashand.png
Sure enough, Diana's hand contained three wild cards... and the queen of hearts, spades, and diamonds.
civplayah: Cheating. It has to be.
Diana Abnoba: I'll just be taking my chips now, thank you, and paying Michael the money I owe him. It looks like you guys lose. Now who's the queen of diamonds? :laugh4:
Double A: This game was rigged. You know it and we know it.
Diana Abnoba: Yeah, where's your proof? Got any proof? I don't see any proof! Prove it, bucko.
Splitpersonality: I'd like my money back, please.... just one more hand, and I'd be able to pay back Michael.
Double A: Yeah, Diana, don't cheat us out of our cash! :embarassed:
Diana Abnoba: Yeah if you thought the game was rigged you shouldn't have played the game. Okay, Michael, it's over. The deadbeats are dead broke!
Michael Valerio heard Diana's voice from where he was sitting in the Manager's office. He grabbed his Tommy gun and came out with a grim expression on his face.
civplayah: No, Michael, I tried to get you the money! I tried! I really tried!!!
*Michael pointed the Tommy Gun at civplayah, who was standing there dumbfounded, and opened fire, shooting him directly in the chest, puncturing his heart.*
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ommy_m1928.jpg
Splitpersonality dropped to his knees and begged Mike for another chance.
Splitpersonality: I'll pay you back! I'll pay you back!
*Michael pointed the Tommy Gun at Splitpersonality, and opened fire, shooting him directly in the head, dropping him to the floor. His hat rolled off of his head.*
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ommy_m1928.jpg
Double A didn't even bother to beg, so he ran for the exit.
*Michael pointed the Tommy Gun at Double A, and opened fire, shooting him directly in the back, filling his body with bullets, making his internal organs look like swiss cheese.*
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ommy_m1928.jpg
Diana Abnoba: Here's your money, Michael.
Michael Valerio: You have done this family a great service, my "son".....
Diana Abnoba: Heh.... they never even found out about Salvatore "Sal" Valerio, did they?
Michael Valerio: Nope.... I had him whacked about a week and a half ago for stealing from the cash drawer. Even my other sons had no idea. Listen, Sally, I loved the whole Dr. Evil thing. Where did you get that mask, from a costume shop?
Diana Abnoba: Oh Michael, I'm not going to tell you all my secrets, now. Not for free anyway. By the way, who was that cashier girl?
Michael Valerio: She's nobody. Honest.
Diana Abnoba: Do me a favor, Michael. Dump the broad, and come meet me for dinner. I hope you like Italian...
Michael Valerio: Doesn't everybody?
Michael switched the light off, leaving the mess of bloody bodies behind. Valerio and Abnoba left the Papa Gino's pizzeria and went out for a well-deserved romantic dinner for two.
~Fin~
Slices remaining: (1/17)

NOTICE:
Because Double A was innocent, Splitpersonality did not have enough money to protect himself. If civplayah protected Splitpersonality, it would have cost 40 credits, and Diana Abnoba still would have had enough money left over to defeat the other two simply by outbetting them.
But don't check my math on that. :clown:
Hah, so much for that argument.

Diana Abnoba: Yeah, where's your proof? Got any proof? I don't see any proof! Prove it, bucko.
Double A: Let's drop this whole pretense right now. You and Split actually think I am Salvatore Valerio, don't deny it. You two cheated me out of my money, to get the Valerio family back for cheating you. You stacked the deck!
Diana Abnoba: Hah! I can't believe you let ME deal the cards! I'm a professional gambler, you dope!
Splitpersonality: That was absolutely beautiful.
Diana Abnoba: Hey, you're the one who gave me the idea. Don't even deny it.
civplayah: What's going on?
Splitpersonality: We just cheated Sal Valerio out of the money he cheated us out of!!!
civplayah: You mean.... I can pay Michael back?
Double A: This is unfair!
Diana Abnoba: It's over, Valerio! We cheated you out of that money.... fair and square.
Michael Valerio heard Diana's voice from where he was sitting in the Manager's office. He grabbed his Tommy gun and game out with a grim expression on his face.
Double A: No, father, I tried to get you the money! I tried! I really tried!!!
Michael: No son of mine is a failure. If he's a failure, then he's not my son.
*Michael pointed the Tommy Gun at Double A, who was standing there dumbfounded, and opened fire, shooting him directly in the chest, puncturing his heart.*
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ommy_m1928.jpg
Diana Abnoba: Here's your money, Michael.
Michael Valerio: Very impressive. How would you three like to work for the Valerio crime family? You obviously have a knack for this mafia business.
civplayah: Possibly.... I could certainly use the money.
Diana Abnoba: Heh, I'll certainly consider your offer, Mikey. Are we free to go?
Michael Valerio: What, you don't wanna stay and play one more hand? I'll go double or nothing, how's that?
Diana Abnoba: Oh Michael, I'm not falling for that. Nice try though.
Michael Valerio: Hey, I gotta be me. All right, you paid up, and you're free to leave.
Michael turns to pick up his piles of cash and chips from the table. That's when Splitpersonality stood up, and opened up his trenchcoat, revealing a pair of Uzi submachine guns.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r/microuzi.jpghttps://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r/microuzi.jpg
Diana Abnoba: Do me a favor, Michael. Say hi to the family for me.
Michael Valerio: Oh, :daisy:
Splitpersonality aimed the Uzi submachine guns at Michael Valerio, and opened fire. Michael Valerio screamed in pain as his body was riddled with bullets, and he fell to the floor. Bloody cash scattered everywhere, and stacks of chips fell to the floor. The Valerio crime family was no more.
civplayah: What the heck just happened?
Diana Abnoba: You didn't really think we were going to let him keep our money, did you?
Splitpersonality: He was a ruthless, conniving criminal. He got what he deserved.
civplayah: Do you mean, I can use this money for my mother's operation?
Diana Abnoba: it's all yours. You can even have a third of whatever was in his safe. We'll split it with you.
Splitpersonality: Hey, do you guys want to go out for dinner, now that this is all over?
civplayah: Sure. How about Italian?
Diana Abnoba: Oh, I love Italian.
Splitpersonality: Doesn't everybody? :laugh4:

Good thing Diana and Split didn't come back in time to listen to my stupid case. :sweatdrop:
****
ATPG: Was it an automatic win for the mafia if there was only two players left? I had a quick debate with Skooma about this. Could the remaining townie protect himself and win on the next turn if he had more credit than the mafia?
:bow:
I'm glad I trusted you diana
Well, good thing you didn't listen to me.
Good job town!
CR

2. My countless scummy posts throughout. I should have thought a lot more about what I posted, but above all I felt the need to not fall into the lurky trap.
3. Stupid, STUPID last-minute decisions by players with more credits than sense. If only you'd listened to the right arguments!
Either way, 'twas a great game Pizza and was interesting to experience playing as mafia for the first time. To scum!

Well done, town!
And props to you, ATPG!!!
You were almost too scummy. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why scum would try and make a big case on me right after I lynched jolt.Quote:

Great game!!!! Thanks to all. Thanks esp. to Pizza for hosting this fabulous game, great fun! Mafia you guys did a great job, so close but no pizza for you. :laugh4:
p.s. Okay what am I doing that seems sooooo scummy. I 'm being accused a lot more lately, and earlier in games. I don't think my play style has changed. Maybe I am becoming more Pizzaish, :laugh4: and you can't read me very well, always scummy when I'm not. I am much better at the end games, that is for sure. I need to get into a game before I can really tell who is mafia or not. A lot more guesses at the start of games.

I figured that scum would be insane to go after a known town and also that once I'd dropped myself in it I'd have to follow through my accusations to get off the hook. Seems like it worked, AND y'all forgot about me afterwards until my next scumtastic post.Quote:

@ Sasaki
Deductive reasoning, gut, and voting pattern (but voting pattern isn't as helpful in small games, then in large). When I ended up putting all my coin on him, that was because of that round and the way he reacted to me. Then I really looked at that round to find his partner. BTW I really didn't think that Split was his partner (well everyone but me was a possibility) but I knew he was out of town the week before and had just gotten back. He did very scummy play that round and if I wanted to be sure he wasn't mafia, I had to claim that I thought he was to put pressure on him, and if he wasn't I thought he would change his vote, which he did. Sorry Split, but it got us a mafia killed that round, and helped me to find double A for the next round. I also figured that I wouldn't be killed that night, because some of you guys still thought I was scum (which helped also, because the mafia took another ? out of the equation (CDF)).
