Capo de Tutti Capi - II [Concluded]

"...And when Darkness
finally surrounds me now
All what remains is Silence
Into the Abyss you see"
-- Impending Doom


Sunset, Day One

The huge windows overlooking the boardwalk were uncovered, but no light streamed through. The sky was dark – no stars would shine tonight. Distant lightning lit the clouds, the cloud-to-cloud spikes of heat lightning – nothing that spoke of rain, of relief from the relentless heat.

The murmers died down as Fermanagh looked up from the pile of vote slips he’d been tallying.

“Well, that settles it,” said Chief Fermanagh, “with 13 votes out of 79, you’ve selected Andres AND Kommodus to stand as director for the Committee of Vigilance for the next two days.”

The meeting was hushed, but expectant. Everyone was breathing with that slow, conscious quality you get as the roller coaster heads up and over the top of that first long hill. Most were expressionless, a few openly worried. All wondered what this night would bring.

“Saints preserve us,” said Fermanagh, “this hasn’t happened before…”

He paused, considering, then flipped a coin…

“We’ll split the difference. Sergeant Muldoon! You and your 6 lads are to guard Kommodus tonight and to help him execute the sentence of the committee as he directs tomorrow sunset. You’ll then do the same for Andres on the following night. None of us are going to like this, but it must be done.”

The committee members filed slowly to the exits, only a few murmured conversations marring the silence, and walked out into the sweltering dark.

Night had come to Fatlington.

hmm? There's no reason to fake a pm at this stage. W&F would simply call him out and they would both go down.

you cannot select anymore...

It's wolves. :inquisitive:

Also if I got that tally correctly we have Kommodus and Andres as directors, have to say that I found the tally a bit disturbing at first, seems like you count the votes from up all the way down. :dizzy2:

excitement got to me... i know that:P

Alea iacta est.

Well no one should not get away with being so sloppy either, later in the game there will be bad times coming if you cant tell a real pm from forgery when even writing other players name wrong is allowed when quoting him, without it raising suspicion.:thumbsdown:

I think you and Andres were making a mountain out of a molehill. Copy/pasting the text and then adding the name manually is a perfectly legitimate way to quote a pm and not suspicious in the slightest. There's no rule that says mafia are more sloppy than townies, I would expect the opposite in fact. It's better to analyze from a bigger perspective--is it logical for pever to try and fake a pm, does the pm sound legitimate, etc.

We can have two directors? Excellent.

where's the comment pointing to? seems out of the blue

Hmmm, if we could, could we also have 3? 4? 5? where would it stop. we could just arrange it so that loads of people would get the same number of votes.. (2 or so) and then loads are protected.. that would be helpful.

If I understand correctly, each is director for 1 night only.

Glenn, just curious, why did you select me? Randomly or is there a specific reason.

Well this is your opinion and i respect that, but i think the situation should be analyzed from every possible perspective. Pushing Pever a bit over the typo didnt hurt anyone so whats the point complaining about it? Or do you have some kind of information, we rest are not aware off?

tis night now... innit...

I won't be available for a few days. Unfortunately, the computer is dieing right now, and I'll probably be without the internet for a few days... So, pretty please with sugar on top, don't lynch me while I'm gone...

I'll be back though!

Yes, I resolved the selection tie by having each serve for 1 of the two lynching sessions.

No, there are NOT multiple Directors -- they serve sequentially, as indicated in the text.

Yes, it is now night one.

N1 PMs due from everybody. Dons owe me "signatures"

so... who is director now? its important to know... because directors cant be hit... are they both unattackable now?

Are you planning a hit on one of the potential directors TS? If this is the case, might I ask why you are planning on such a strategy when there is so little evidence to go on?

Yeah, means you can't kill them and better focus on protecting me...

yeah... im planning on killing andres... :dizzy: and im already saying so in thread so he can prepare his prayers...

The critical question is why though TS? I know you very well as the fairly aggressive vigilante, although such a strategy on any player at this phase is a ridiculously inadvisable move and helps the mafia more than the town. Although I do not doubt your intentions are not necessarily against the town, I advise you avoid murdering any player until you are more sure on their guilt.

not if I kill you first! Maybe tonight I'll kill all of you then who'll be laughing?

On a serious note I am also suffering internet troubles as players from the Throne Room already know so I may miss out on a few votes as I have no idea when it is going to go down. This is also my first ever mafia game so please go easy on me.

edit: first part aimed at TS

Missing votes, abstaining or generally lurking is perhaps one of the best ways to get oneself killed by an angry horde of pitchfork wielding peasants. Let's hope your internet holds on just a little bit longer.

You misunderstood, I don't have an opinion regarding your hypothetical death, because I can't and don't know if you're a townie or a mafioso.

First of all the word east didn't exist in latin. It was oriens back then. Also it doesn't matter wether it Iacta or alea is in front. Alea is in front as it's the Alea which is important. Also Caesar would have said it in Greek, if he indeed ever said it. So it doesn't really matter.
