The Godfather, Part 2 [Concluded]

That's right. The Godfather, Part 2 has come.

Prologue

Vincenzo's Guttering was the name painted on the side of the van that drove casually through the newly repopulated town of Gameroom. It rumbled through the town center and turned, taking the road on the right, without the heads of any of the villagers turning. This sort of company was a common sight around these parts, what with the local obsession with property. About halfway up the road, the van pulled over and 3 modestly dressed 'gutterers' walked up the garden path towards the house they had parked outside. They walked slowly and confidently, in rather an unusual way for gutterers. The first, a man with a large beard and toothless grin dressed in a t-shirt and jeans moved his finger to the doorbell, but before the finger and the bell could make contact the door swung open and the gutterers were greeted by a friendly villager. He caught a glimpse of the van before speaking.

"Ah, brilliant, you are just in time," the villager said in a loud and staged voice, "My gutter really needs help." He leant in close, and, breaking the false air, whispered in a malicious voice "Get in. I have been waiting too long." The three gutterers were quick to oblige.

The front door swung shut behind them and a smile lit up on the villager's face. "Vincenzo's Guttering? You can do better than that."

"It's nice and simple." was the reply from the lead gutterer.

"Vince, Greg, Jake, take a seat." They each pulled up a chair and sat. "Martini?"

"That's a bit stereotypical, isn't it?" Gregorio mused, "Not all us Italians like martini. Oh, and yes, please. Martini is my favourite drink."

"Me too." said Vincenzo and Jacopo consecutively.

The villager picked up a tray of martinis on the counter and put it on the coffee table. "Alright. Now, what's the plan?"

"Yes, the plan." Vincenzo leant in as if he were being watched. "We want you to select two of the town's finest to be your henchmen, and with their help, you will kill everyone-"

"WHAT?!" The villager stood instantly, obviously shocked by this proposal. "You can't be serious! I thought you just wanted by to organise some raids, make a bit of money, that sort of thing. I never signed up to be involved in a massacre."

"I am your superior, and you will do what I say, god-dammit!" Vincenzo was angered by this, "If you don't do what I asked you, your balls will become part of a high voltage electrical circuit before too long. Back to the plan, though. Your henchmen must kill two people each night. The villagers will likely try to execute somebody, and so it is your job to turn the tide against them by making them execute an enemy. There will also probably be a detective, on your trail the whole time and searching for clues. If you find out who this is, you would do well to kill them." He paused. "I think that's all there is. Now get going!" Vincenzo stood, followed by Gregorio and Jacopo. They put on their shoes and were out of the house within seconds. The villager slumped in his chair and buried his head in his hands. No, he wasn't going to sit back and not do his duty. He was to become The Godfather, and he was going to slaughter this sorry town.

Basic Rules (don't bother reading this if you have played Mafia before)

At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.

The game has two phases. Usually the first is Night. During Night, the Town can not communicate, but the Mafia can discuss and choose someone to murder. After the Moderator has received the name of the victim, the Moderator reveals the dead player(s), and Day begins.

During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is/isn't revealed by the Moderator, and it is once again Night.

The game alternates between Night and Day until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else.

---

Rules (even if you have played the previous Godfather game, read anyway. There have been some changes to the rules)

-At the start, instead of choosing all the mafia I will randomly select a Godfather. He will then recruit his own two mafiosi from all of the players available. After this is done I will randomly select a Detective.

-The Godfather will not be able to kill anyone, but if he dies the townspeople win. If one of his mafiosi dies, the other will still only be able to kill one person each round and so there will only be one murder each round. If both his mafiosi die he will then have the power to kill one person each round himself.

-On top of the Godfather and two mafiosi there will be Detective. He can investigate one person each night to find out if they are innocent or guilty. If he investigates the Godfather, however, it will show up as innocent.

-In the previous Godfather, I made the mafia write out their kills exactly as they wanted them to appear. This time, however, they will only need to PM me with the method.

-If you want to confess to being in the mafia or being a detective, you may use quotes, but not screenshots, from any PMs I have sent you.

-You may, unlike the previous game, speculate if you are dead. However, you may not reveal your role once you have died.

-Each game in the The Godfather series will have its own special twist, which will differ between games.

-To vote, you must type Vote: plus the name of the person you wish to vote for. It must also be bolded. Example: Vote: Silver Rusher. You may also Vote: Abstain to not vote in that round without having wrath of god come to you or Vote: No Lynch if you wish for nobody to be lynched.

-I will not be pleased if the huge trend of inactivity present in last game transfers over to this one. So, if you do not vote 3 times in a row, or do not vote 5 times altogether throughout the course of the game, you will be killed by Wrath of God. And, as in Kommodus' mafia, I will try to make this as humiliating as humanly possible. Please, don't sign up without playing.

Alright, I'll play.

However, I probably won't be able to participate fully until the end of Cosa Nuova, which is where much of my online time is going. So you probably shouldn't expect any brilliant new mafia-hunting ideas from me.

Back from Rome, so I'm able to give it my all.

Sign me up.

Well, I was going to close the sign-ups at 12 PM today but seeing as we are fairly low on members, and as I haven't chosen any of the roles yet, I will let you sign up.

On other matters:

SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED. ROLES WILL NOW BE ASSIGNED TO RANDOMLY CHOSEN MEMBERS AND THEY WILL BE PM'D.

Please add me to your list SR. I posted this yesterday! I hope that doesnt mean I missed the chance to be a non-villager! :no:

Oh...

In you go then.

Yes, sorry, but I don't want to let any more people in after the deadline was supposed to have closed. You should have joined earlier. Myrddraal is a special case because he missed out last time and said he wanted to play in the next one, and DW is also a special case because I missed him out of the list.

Ok.Thats how it goes sometimes,your just late.:bow:

At least your curse wont affect the mafia this time Kage!

Why should you be so concerned about the curse if you're not in the mafia?

Vote: Masy

:laugh4:

Thats not funny GH, perhaps YOU are in the mafia because you lack humour!

Vote: GeneralHankerchief

:laugh4: I jest...

Ah, I have a bigger PM box! Thank you, mysterious powers! ~;)

Ugh, isn't it bad enough that the "Obnoxious and Disliked" tune pops up in my head whenever Reenk posts? :wall: :laugh4:

Vote: GeneralHandkerchief

hehehe..... Jk

Has it even started?

Roles have been chosen and PM'd.

If you didn't get a role, you are just a plain villager (however, there is still one other person who will become the Chief of Police).

Ah fun fun fun.

I read through the whole of the last Godfather, and I was hooked from beginning to end. Thank's a ton for letting me in late SR :bow:

I almost want to fast forward to the end to find out the twist. :tongue:

I'm liking RTW Guru's reasoning :clown:

PS sasaki, that smiley looks like a sweedish guy who hit on one of my (straightest) friends - he was literally wearing a leather cap and jacket. :whip:

So when does the game begin? I'm anxious since I'm probably about to die in the other one.

This time, let's try to avoid electing the Godfather to Chief of Police.

Day breaks in the Gameroom. All is quiet.

The fair had moved into town recently. It was a joyous occasion for all those who visited, especially Lemur, who was having a great time. He was in the Gameroom after all; how could anything possibly harm him in the Gameroom?

Out of all the wondrous fairground booths, one particularly caught Lemur's eye. It was a bagatelle booth! The mustachioed man in the booth gave him a funny look before opening his mouth to speak.

"Ah, we have a challenger! Very well, step right up and drop the little ball. Where it lands will determine your prize!"

Bagatelle involves a board with metal rods sticking out, which make the ball change direction as it falls. In an ordinary game, this usually makes the ball go into the farthest slot on the right, resulting in no prize. But the one Lemur played was slightly different.

He stepped up to the game board and dropped the ball. He watched it go left, then right, then left, then left, then right, and in the slot that read "Medium Prize!" 'Alright,' Lemur thought.

The mustachioed man handed Lemur a soft, pink pony. Without hesistation, Lemur took it. His daughter had always wanted one of these, and now he dad would be able to give her one. The grin stayed on Lemur's face throughout his day at the fair, and even in the car as he was driving home. As he turned onto the main road he noticed a strange sound coming from the backseat, where he had left the pink pony.

"ticktickticktickticktick"

Lemur's foot slammed the brakes, but before it had any effect...

"KABOOOM!!!" Lemur's car, and his body with it, disappeared into the inferno.

It was safe to say that UltraWar was not the wealthiest man in the Gameroom. In fact, it would have been pretty safe to say he was among the poorest. He was so poor in fact that he and his wife both had to work 2 shifts on their jobs.

Coming home from his job as a machinery operator at the Gameroom Quarry, he was incredibly tired. It was midnight when he even left the place; as you can imagine, being held back on a 2-shift workday isn't the most pleasant experience. He drove along the empty mountain road, winding around the contours of the mountainside at most half awake.

He was so tired that he didn't notice as a van left its parking space on the side of the road until the last minute. Seeing the van he sprung awake and swerved the car straight off the side of the road, and it in turn barrel rolled towards the lake below. Before the car hit the lake with a tremendous splash, UW was able to glimpse the writing written on the side of the van. It read: "Vincenzo's Guttering".

UltraWar was quickly able to get out of his car and swim to the surface. However, he had broken both legs and was unable to move further. Fortunately for him, a passing stranger had seen it all happen. He swam into the lake and dragged UltraWar out.

"I don't know how to thank you," UltraWar began, before seeing the gun pointed in his face. A shot was fired, and UW's body tumbled straight back into the lake...

The people gathered in the centre of town to be addressed by their Chief of Police Divine Wind. Everybody was too anxious, however. This was the first time a single murder had ever taken place in their quiet town.

"Quiet!" DW tried to enforce his will over the murmurs of the crowd. They took no notice however.

"SHUT UP!!!" He yelled his lungs out this time, and a few heads turned but nobody really took any attention.

Losing his patience, DW pulled out his pistol and fired a single shot into the air.

"AAAH!!! SOMEBODY ELSE HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!" a villager screamed as he stood, clutching his head, before noticing DW holding the smoking pistol with a bored expression on his face.

"Take a seat."

"Sorry, sir."

"Anyway, as you are all aware, we have lost two good citizens of our community, Lemur and UltraWar. UltraWar's body was found with a bullet imbedded in his brain and we found traces of TNT in what appears to be a charred 'pony' in Lemur's former car. So, we can only conclude that this was murder."

"We know it was murder!"

"QUIET!" DW was getting annoyed with the distractions, but tried to maintain his composure anyway. "We also know that nobody entered or exited the city since the time of the murders, and so the murders must have been committed by one of you sitting here!" This generated a few murmurs, "QUIET!" the murmurs stopped, "Now, the one man police force has no leads and so, according to the city charter, we must have a vote on who to execute as punishment for these murders. Get to it."

How to vote:
Type Vote: and the name of the person you wish to vote for to be executed all in bold. Example: Vote: Silver Rusher. Instead of the person's name, you may also put Abstain or No Lynch. If you Vote: Abstain it basically means you don't vote but you also don't get a warning. If you Vote: No Lynch it means you vote for nobody to be executed at all.

The Chief of Police role:
-This role was randomly selected from all players in the game except the detective. Yes, it includes the mafia.
-This role cannot be killed at night. If the mafia try to kill the CoP at night, they will not kill anyone.
-However, the role can still be lynched as it is possible for the person to be a mafioso.
-DW must PM me now and every night (after lynchings) to tell me how he wants to execute each person.

Vote: Abstain

This will most likely be changed depending on conversation.

I think it is a little early to lynch anyone with no evidence unless someone else has something interesting.

Vote:Abstain

Also UW's murder was pretty aweful why wouldn't the mafia just let him drown. Seems weird. :dizzy2:

For starting what could be another cycle of "I abstain, because there isn't enough information to go on, because everyone else abstained, because there isn't enough information to go on, because..."

Vote: Divine Wind

He's been consistently voting only a snowman and his vote in the past games. Why was he chosed CoP anyway? We have basically nothing to go on, so I'd like to see him lynched. (btw, I just thought of, will he PM Silver Rusher with the method he himself is lynched? :laugh4: )

There's nothing good (for now), and it's just too easy for him to continue his 'no-discussion' style of voting/posting, while being mafia. No one would notice.

https://img60.imageshack.us/img60/64...teng101gi6.gif Last game it was. There were more power roles than mafia. This game there are more mafia than power roles.

Simple math, people! https://img251.imageshack.us/img251/...psyduckvv0.gif

I'll grant you all that I'm the rookie, but all we know for certain is that neither Lemur nor UltraWar were in the mafia.

Sasaki, with all due respect, you're wrong. The odds of us lynching an innocent person are: (26-3)/(26). Twenty six total players and three guilty ones, right?

So if we have a vote, the odds of us nailing an innocent person, at this stage, are 88.5%. The odds of us actually catching the Godfather are 3.8% and the odds of us catching one of his mafioso are 7.7%.

Personally, I think we need to watch events unfold a little more. Let's see what Divine Wind has to say, and whether his detective happens to get anything.

Detective, remember, the Godfather himself comes back as innocent, so your odds are only 7.7% of getting a mafioso, not the combined 11.5%.

Vote: Abstain
