Guess I'll also just repeat my previous post:
Characters are mortal enemies, within the game. This is a role-playing game. Outside of our roles, we are all players participating for the fun of it.
I hope we all keep our calm, play this as a game, and laugh it off when it's all over.
Oh, you.Quote:
Given that your dead - I am not to worried about it for now. Yep there is a couple of people yet to find that are mafia - but your one we don't need to worry about.
Now, I think I'd like my statue to be marble - always classy - in the greek tradition, though not painted.
Perhaps a giant rabbit, holding an old rifle, vigilantly standing guard, forms of the vanquished enemies squashed beneath my feet. Would that work? Too grandiose? What do you say, vanquished enemies?
I love how you ripped TH to shreds. If you do that to the innocent, how are you going to kill our friendly serial killer, Orb?
Crazed Rabbit
Naw that wont do - more likely just a epitah on your grave would do.Quote:

Ah throwing accusations around - I wonder why? Do you have proof of your claim ? I suspect your attempting something from the grave, but since your a dead mafia, its probably a valid assumption on my part.
Oh, you! Not that that epitaph would make much sense, you know.Quote:

Um, did you yourself not say that Orb was serial killer according to Cowhead?Quote:

Or are we still going after the 'mafia' and not Orb yet?

Well since your dead - it seems your enemies have vanquished you.Quote:

What I have stated I is that Cowhead provided the information on Alexander and Xiahou that shows that they were involved in multiple murders - In fact Alexander's involvement is indeed with the White Glove killers as alreadly demonstrated in the thread.
The evidence for Tom_Hagen's lynching came from Jimbob.
Is it becoming hard for you to keep your lies straight - you have been telling a lot of them lately.
I have always been going after the mafia. If you have conclusive evidence on who the serial killer is - why don't you provide it? Or are you attempting to fish for more information? To share with your mafia friends.Quote:

Not before I vanquished some.Quote:

Oh, you. Where did I say you posted it in this thread? There are other methods of communication. Why don't we ask cowhead?Quote:

Now, some are of course wondering why, if I really was working with Redleg, would I incriminate him? It's simple, you townies cannot win! You cannot lynch any mafia; you are disorganized and befuddled, like chickens without their heads.
I tell you this so that the agony of loosing to the mafia is longer, so you fear every night if it will be you they kill or you they call mafia and lynch in the day.
I tell you this so your anticipation of death, your fear of the inevitable, is made all the worse, worse than actual death. You will welcome the bullet that puts you out of your misery.

You have four people who are innocent to investigations. Me, Red, Pape and Luigi. Even if one of us were a Don that means that they had to convince three other other innocents who are all intelligent people. Come on, you expect us to believe that?Quote:

You're just trying to stir up the town at pit it against itself because you know you'll lose if the town focuses. Who are you worried most about? Reenk? Prole? Alexander?
OK Redleg, this sounds like a valid alibi, but I really want to know why it took you so long to finally decide Tom_Hagen was guilty...Quote:

Oddly enough, you kinda failed to mention that you weren't doing a protection mission but a kill mission...Quote:

I have my doubts.
Don't think that just because I have been a little slow in picking up the nuances of this game that I can be easily fooled. I've played a lot of these games...
PM's concluded. Summary to follow.
Night Nine Summary
The weather had cleared, but it promised to be a dark night anyway. On the home, Byzantine Knight decided to stop at the library. He paused briefly in the lobby, but then went to the secure documents section – relatively secure, and possibly the location of the information he sought.
“Are you familiar with Isandlwana?” asked a cultured voice.
Byzantine Knight was confused. “What?” he replied.
“Are you familiar with Isandlwana?”
“I'm sorry. Are you addressing me?”
Byzantine Knight didn't know the fellow standing next to him. He wasn't even sure how someone else had gotten into the secure document section of the library.
“Don't trouble yourself,” said a second voice. At that same moment Byz’ felt a sharp stabbing pain in his lower back. “Don't worry about anything.”
ByzantineKnight’s legs gave out and he found himself on the floor. The first speaker continued his earlier discussion in a calm, didactic voice.
“Isandlwana was a battle where the forces for civilization were overwhelmed by savages. Despite all their efforts the line didn't hold and barbarity had its moment in the sun.”
Byzantine Knight, was no longer listening. The pain from his lower back that had taken control of his legs from him was spreading. His nerves were on fire. The second voice became a figure that moved into his peripheral vision. He was folding up a cane with a blade attached on one end, but this barely registered. Byzantine Knight couldn’t even focus his thoughts effectively enough to yell. His whole frame was on fire.
“The perceived barbarian victory was Pyrrhic. ‘Often what is seen as a victory is not.’ The savages didn't know the judgment of history was already laid against them and that Civilization must move forward.”
The historian looked down and noted that Byzantine Knight's body convulsed a few more times and then was still.
“Quite.”
He removed a white glove and tossed it on the form lying in a deformed state of pain and walked away to join the other standing by the door. They departed quietly.
Pindar was making his way home from a late supper at “L’Aperetif,” when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned, only to behold a helmeted figure in a bright red anorak wielding a sword running up behind him.
For once, the disadvantages of a concealed holster got in the way. Pindar turned, sidestepped, and went for his gun, but not before the swordsman had slashed the shoulders of his right arm – his gun arm – with the razor sharp blade of his Kopis. The design may have been ancient, but this steel was very modern and finely honed.
The first slash clinched the fight, really, because of the damage done by that passing tear. Pindar never got the gun out – just couldn’t bring the arm high enough – and no matter how hard he fought with his fists and feet, he was no match for the short sword blows rained on him by his opponent. Each bruise or bash he gave was returned with a cut, gouge, or occasional stab – though the blade really wasn’t a stabbing weapon. Finally, weakened by repeated blows, Pindar left himself open to a viscious slash through the upper thigh.
The blade tore all the way through with great – excessive – force. Not only did it sever the artery below Pindar’s quadriceps after hacking that muscle in half, but the edge of the blade notched itself on Pindar’s femur, breaking that key bone in the process. Pindar was down and dying.
His sword waving high in the air, the winner of this one-sided brawl screamed a victory cry…
“Leonidas is avenged!”
…the effect of which was somewhat spoiled by the swordsman’s use of Attic Greek – a language not much understood outside the confines of the Fatlington Greek Historical Society.
The swordsman ran off up an alley, leaving Pindar to die. Slowly, the horrified onlookers came closer to the dying man. Even the unskilled could tell that no help would avail. Pindar whispered:
“Yet praise is overtaken of distaste, wherewith is no justice, but from covetous men it cometh, and is fain to babble against and darken the good man's noble deeds.”
No one present was quite sure what he was talking about.
Fermanagh was businesslike the next day as he addressed the mostly empty room.
"It would appear that we have been handed a victory by those mafia scum. In their attempts to take over the town, they have turned on one another with a vengeance. CountArach was a mafia leader -- a don -- though we don't know of what group. Xiahou was a made gangster. Their loss is Fatlington's gain."
He continued.
"Moros was a detective, but not a nice guy -- didn't play by the rules. He certainly wasn't part of my staff. This rogue detective may have been helping us -- or not. He will harm or help us no more. Good luck in your deliberations."

Is this the real life, is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Sunset Day Ten
JimBob sat in the chair previously occupied by Redleg. The guards were somewhat reduced – only two flanking him instead of the usual four.
“We will begin the final balloting for day ten.”
The small group filed forward one by one to lodge their votes. When the votes had been totaled, JimBob stood.
“The person whom we have decided to be guilty shall be hanged by the neck until dead from the scaffold on the boardwalk below. That person is Alexander the Pretty Good.”
Alexander went for his weapons, hoping that with only two guards he could best Moros’ performance and fight his way free of the room. He never had a chance. There were four guards. The other pair were waiting at the room’s entrance – shotguns in hand – for just this possibility. They kicked open the doors and fired at Alex’s back before Alex could get off his first shot.
Alex went down like he’d been stunned with a hammer. Regardless of the body armor under his suit-coat two loads of buckshot at 20 feet was a lot of impact to absorb. Before he could begin to move, Alex was pinioned and handcuffed.
He was taken to the scaffold below – it had been improvised from a train station mailbag catch-pole – the noose tied and his body swung out over the sands below the boardwalk. He danced and kicked for a few minutes, then hung still. Shortly thereafter his body voided itself.
The moon was just rising – silhouetting Alex’s grisly corpse – when the committee turned away. They had not even reached their cars when the first gulls landed on the swinging corpse.
