    “Sit back in car prease,” said the masked gunman in a bad Asian accent
    sounds like the same guy that killed Drisos(sp?). And that was done with two people. Which would suggest mafia. But is sounds by the write up that they were short one person. Could still be mafia and it's just that one of them forgot to send in their pm.


    After that last write up I'm pretty sure that glenn isnt a don. Because if it was a luca protecting him then why would the luca be unknown to Glenn and just leave him there.

    Lastly What's up with the last part of that write up. The part about Jimbob and Ajaxfetish. I don't get that at all.

    Since i havent heard any kind of explanation from Tiberius of the Drake, i will vote: Tiberius of the Drake. He seems like a clear lynch after the pm Pannonian quoted.

    As others have already mentioned, he has the strongest evidence against him so far. Let's go with what we know.

    To everyone’s surprise, taka stepped out of the vehicle with only one wound – a gouge along one cheekbone no deeper than a bad shaving cut. He was stunned as were the police. taka had worn no armor and the car had been a stock model, yet 354 rounds had failed to take him out.
    In my opinion there's something suspicious about Taka, that's almost as bad as before when the 4 gun misfired twice, meaning he could be a don protected by his luca.

    So far the best case seems to be made against Tiberius of Drake.He hasn't bothered to give any form of an adequate defensive for that PM Pannonian posted, which is why he get's my vote.

    It's a blatant bandwagon, but a worthwhile one I think.

    Vote: Tiberius of Drake

    This vote is temporary pending any results regarding Glenn or Jimbob.

    Seing as Glenn and Jimbob have claimed they will both come out with a specific result, I'd suggest detectives who get that result stay quiet. We only really want detectives revealing if we are certain to get mafia through that reveal.

    Last thing about Glenn before I get accused of focusing on him too much (his is a facinating case, you've got to admit)

    Well that depends, and I suppose it's a question for the Host. What happens if more than one group tries to protect someone? Who gets priority? What if Glenn was protected by his Luca, but also sombody else? Would the Luca always get priority?

    Dang it. I was hoping to get in before the bandwagon. However, the evidence against Tiberius seems most damning so far, and he has yet to reply to the charges.

    vote: Tiberius the Drake

    If we get criminal results on Jimbob, perhaps we could try for a three-way lynch? And who is the director today if Andres got hit? Is it Kommodus again?

    Glenn and Jimbob's story continues to get more interesting. If they're mafia, they need to go down. The religious references/paraphernalia continues however, and got me thinking. Boondock Saints, anyone?

    And for now at least,

    Vote: GH

    Although I do think that the evidence against Tiberius after his PM is overwhelmingly large, I do feel that the best strategy would be to manufacture a tie - hopefully resulting in both of the most suspicious players at current ending up lynched. I do appreciate the fact that GH has responded, but I still don't really think he has done enough to justify saving him.

    Night Two Summary


    GeneralHankerchief had just stepped out of the cab when it happened. Before he could even straighten up fully he was staring into the barrel of a handgun – looking like a cannon to him from his viewpoint – so he stopped.

    “Sit back in car prease,” said the masked gunman in a bad Asian accent.

    GeneralHankerchief saw the cabby running up the block, and knew with a sinking certainty that he’d be sitting back down next to another gunman who’d entered from the street side and that this ride would be his last. He sat back down anyway – not much choice – while the first gunman went around to the driver’s seat.


    GeneralHankerchief turned to see who the second gunman was. An empty seat? There was nobody else in the cab! Stunned, but not willing to miss a chance, Generalhankerchief bolted out of his door exactly as the “Asian” gunman climbed into the driver’s seat. He was 40 feet away and doging and weaving toward a crowd of tourists – currently arguing with two Fatlington cops about a parking ticket – when the gunman got a line on him with his weapon. The gunman paused.

    It was too much of a distance for the silenced hand-cannon to stay accurate at a moving target and too many eyes and cops down range. The gunman made the professional choice, got in the cab quietly without any sudden motions, and drove away. GeneralHankerchief faded into the crowd.


    Cowhead418 had a quiet dinner and headed back to his apartment. Heading up the stairs to the 3rd floor flat he was slammed into from above by somebody jumping over the landing railing above to hammer him down. He blacked out.

    When he awoke, he found he had been carried into his apartment, bound, gagged and tied to a chair. On the table coffee table in front of him was a lit candle….and he could hear and smell the gas that was hissing from the stove in his kitchen. In moments the gas would rise to the level of the candle and…

    A key fumbled in his lock and in came his batty landlady!


    “That putz! He left the gas running and his pilot light is out. He’ll blow the whole block apart. It’s a lucky thing the movie was so bad, or I wouldn’t have come back for hours…”

    Cowhead418 mumbled trying to get her attention. She never heard him. She did, however, stop the gas, turn on his window fan and leave his apartment, all the while never noticing him and muttering comments about his doubtful intelligence.

    Cowhead418 took hours to smash the chair and extricate himself. Other than bruises from being dropped on, he was in good shape. He’d never be quite as frustrated with his dingbat landlady again.



    Andres wasn’t expecting to be attacked as he stepped out of the restaurant – too many people and too bright an area – but his reactions were lightning fast when the trench-coated attacker began to level a shotgun at him. Andres spun and rolled, putting himself behind a marble bench at the restaurant entrance while Fermanagh’s police leaped forward – just a little late – to save the day. The attackers were professionals – they had escape routes ready – and quickly beat a retreat before the policemen could do more than form a protective cordon around Andres. Nobody had attacked a director before! But the protection around one is a bit hard to break through – even it Fermanagh didn’t do much else promptly or correctly.

    taka was taking his usual drive home – a well lit street that was well patrolled and therefore safe – when his car was boxed in and stopped by several vehicles. In Fatlington, safe is a relative term.

    Tommy guns were coming up and starting to hose lead almost as the vehicle ground to a halt. The range was less than ten feet and there was not a chance they would miss. Police were responding in under 30 seconds, sirens blaring and several cars converging on the scene, but in that half minute more than 300 rounds had been emptied from the drum magazines of the tommy guns. The assailant’s cars sped quickly into side streets and were quickly abandoned as the gunmen clear the scene.

    To everyone’s surprise, taka stepped out of the vehicle with only one wound – a gouge along one cheekbone no deeper than a bad shaving cut. He was stunned as were the police. taka had worn no armor and the car had been a stock model, yet 354 rounds had failed to take him out.


    Glenn was sitting at a café – his back to a brick wall – worried about his chances of making it to the next meeting and hoping that his protector would still be there. He heared a commotion at the back of the café and reached for a recently purchased revolver in his pocket.

    The assailant burst into the café from the back, flinging two masked individuals aside to crash into the back booths and making stright for Glenn. Glenn fired two rounds quickly straight and true into the center of mass. The opponent slowed, grunted, and continued forward breaking a statue of St. Michael across Glenn’s temple. Glenn dropped back into his seat unconscious.

    The assailant started to lift Glenn, only to stop when he heard the twin clicks of a double-barreled shotgun being cocked to fire.


    “Leave him be,” said the lone gunman. The masked assailant paused, let go of Glenn, and sobbing ran from the front of the café. The shotgun wielder leaned down to Glenn, checked for a pulse – steady – and then left.

    Glenn would suffer no more than a mild concussion, though he wouldn’t be free of his headaches for some time. The police never figured out the purpose of the van abandoned at the back of the café. In the back had been a sharp filleting knife, two large helium tanks, and 4 weather balloons with the legend “deu 32:35” printed on them.


    Lord Winter was cagey – walking home to his apartment via the boardwalk so that he could be sure there were plenty of people around. It would not be enough. A section of boards collapsed beneath him dumping him onto the sand below where a masked figure clubbed him into unconsciousness.

    He was injected with a lethal dose of heroin shortly thereafter – mostly to keep him unconscious as he faded out. He was tied, gagged and given a heavy set of cement boots – actually a galvanized tub filled with drying cement – and dropped into 20 feet of water at the end of the pier. He was, fortunately, dead from the overdose before he slipped under the water. His remains would never be found – except by the crabs.

    Two groups of shadowy figures faced one another on the roofs and alleys surrounding
    JimBob’s apartment. Figures would catch a glimpse of one another and freeze, poised for action – but nothing happened. The only sound came from the radio blaring in Ajaxfetish’s apartment next door to JimBobs – “My Favorite Husband,” starring Lucille Ball – followed by a lot of music and then silence as everybody in the apartments got a restful night’s sleep. Neither group of shadow figures ever made a move.


    Morning Day Three

    Fermanagh was visibly confused and shame-faced at his report that morning. He recounted the events of the night before as summed up on the police blotter, but he botched things and had to do it twice – he’d even mentioned Andres as a murder victim! Andres had cleared his throat and Fermanagh had started over, finally getting it out clearly.

    “We’re wrapping up our post-mortem review of Drisos and we have the other ones in the pipeline.”

    Fermanagh was flustered, and probably happy that he was specifically excluded from the lynch candidates by Tosa’s instructions.

    “Thanks SO much chief,” said Andres, “Now let me outline the procedures for this evenings vote and any punishments meted out…”

    Unless he shows up to refute that pm that Pannonian posted, he should die.

    Also, I think we might have some sort of supernatural doctor role going on here. Both Beefy187 and taka were both attacked and should have been killed, except that they were miraculously saved in some way that defies explanation.

    I'm a bit unsure who to vote for, I'm somewhat tired but I remember that several people said GH is most likely guilty. I really don't remember the details so I think I will sleep over it and wait for a few more opinions before putting down my vote.

    Mistake, I believe. In the second write-up:

    He recounted the events of the night before as summed up on the police blotter, but he botched things and had to do it twice – he’d even mentioned Andres as a murder victim! Andres had cleared his throat and Fermanagh had started over, finally getting it out clearly.
    Thoughts on the night:
    GH was attacked by the folks who killed Drisos - the fake Asian and the other guy.

    But why wasn't the other guy there tonight? Drisos' death was clearly a mob hit. Two gangsters usually don't screw up like a group of townies might.

    The fake Asian must have thought that his partner was going to be there, as is evident from the story. So what could have prevented his partner?

    Cowhead, taka, and Lord Winter were all headed home when attacked. Glenn is a don and so wouldn't participate in killings.

    That leaves Andres, who was coincidentally the director. It seems like the combination of being attacked (by mob hit men it would appear) and being constantly surrounded by police meant he couldn't make it to help kill GH.

    Vote: Andres

    One attacker. From the same 'Asian accent' people that killed Drisos. The attack on Drisos succeeded with two men. So not renegade wiseguys. This means this attack on GH was carried out by mafia.

    Yet it failed. Why? Betrayal? A mess-up with the orders?

    GH is scum himself. Is there a nice inter-mafia war going on already?

    “That putz! He left the gas running and his pilot light is out. He’ll blow the whole block apart. It’s a lucky thing the movie was so bad, or I wouldn’t have come back for hours…”

    Cowhead418 mumbled trying to get her attention. She never heard him. She did, however, stop the gas, turn on his window fan and leave his apartment, all the while never noticing him and muttering comments about his doubtful intelligence.

    Cowhead418 took hours to smash the chair and extricate himself. Other than bruises from being dropped on, he was in good shape. He’d never be quite as frustrated with his dingbat landlady again.

    Don't really know what to make of this. One attacker. The landlady sounds random, not like a doctor / surgeon / luca.
    Some weird attempted hit by a wiseguy / twonie, who failed to persuade his accomplices? A hit by a single mafioso?

    I don't understand this at all. Somebody?

    Why was Cowhead a target?

    Andres wasn’t expecting to be attacked as he stepped out of the restaurant – too many people and too bright an area – but his reactions were lightning fast when the trench-coated attacker began to level a shotgun at him. Andres spun and rolled, putting himself behind a marble bench at the restaurant entrance while Fermanagh’s police leaped forward – just a little late – to save the day. The attackers were professionals – they had escape routes ready – and quickly beat a retreat before the policemen could do more than form a protective cordon around Andres. Nobody had attacked a director before! But the protection around one is a bit hard to break through – even it Fermanagh didn’t do much else promptly or correctly.


    The previous write up mentioned this as a hit by the Barzini family. Well, one thing is for certain - at least one family are a bunch of amateurs. Can't kill a director.

    Andres wasn't protected by town / luca. He was killed in write-up one, the director role saved him in the second write-up. So probably no don then. No other special protective function.

    Why was Andres a target for the Barzini's?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    taka was taking his usual drive home – a well lit street that was well patrolled and therefore safe – when his car was boxed in and stopped by several vehicles. In Fatlington, safe is a relative term.

    Tommy guns were coming up and starting to hose lead almost as the vehicle ground to a halt. The range was less than ten feet and there was not a chance they would miss. Police were responding in under 30 seconds, sirens blaring and several cars converging on the scene, but in that half minute more than 300 rounds had been emptied from the drum magazines of the tommy guns. The assailant’s cars sped quickly into side streets and were quickly abandoned as the gunmen clear the scene.

    To everyone’s surprise, taka stepped out of the vehicle with only one wound – a gouge along one cheekbone no deeper than a bad shaving cut. He was stunned as were the police. taka had worn no armor and the car had been a stock model, yet 354 rounds had failed to take him out.

    'Several' shooters. No mark of a mafia attempt. So renegade townies / wiseguys. No protection, just sheer luck. So probably no don then. No other special protective function.

    The attackers probably failed to get the correct amount of attackers to send orders. Betrayal? A mess-up?
    The narrow escape is very reminiscent of Glenn's escape in night one. 300 rounds fired, all miraculously missed.

    Why was Taka a target?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Glenn was sitting at a café – his back to a brick wall – worried about his chances of making it to the next meeting and hoping that his protector would still be there. He heared a commotion at the back of the café and reached for a recently purchased revolver in his pocket.

    The assailant burst into the café from the back, flinging two masked individuals aside to crash into the back booths and making stright for Glenn. Glenn fired two rounds quickly straight and true into the center of mass. The opponent slowed, grunted, and continued forward breaking a statue of St. Michael across Glenn’s temple. Glenn dropped back into his seat unconscious.

    The assailant started to lift Glenn, only to stop when he heard the twin clicks of a double-barreled shotgun being cocked to fire.


    “Leave him be,” said the lone gunman. The masked assailant paused, let go of Glenn, and sobbing ran from the front of the café. The shotgun wielder leaned down to Glenn, checked for a pulse – steady – and then left.

    Glenn would suffer no more than a mild concussion, though he wouldn’t be free of his headaches for some time. The police never figured out the purpose of the van abandoned at the back of the café. In the back had been a sharp filleting knife, two large helium tanks, and 4 weather balloons with the legend “deu 32:35” printed on them.

    My, people certainly believe Glenn to be special. Second attempt in two consecutive nights.

    'deu 32:35' - is that the mafia mark of yet another family? Or the sign of an 'anti-Glenn' from the dark side? Why was there only a single attacker? Another betrayal / order mess-up?
    Or did the three masked men belong together?

    Why did Glenn have a gun? Just literary license from Seamus? Or a function of Glenn's role? The gun didn't do any good. Glenn was saved by somebody else.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Lord Winter was cagey – walking home to his apartment via the boardwalk so that he could be sure there were plenty of people around. It would not be enough. A section of boards collapsed beneath him dumping him onto the sand below where a masked figure clubbed him into unconsciousness.

    He was injected with a lethal dose of heroin shortly thereafter – mostly to keep him unconscious as he faded out. He was tied, gagged and given a heavy set of cement boots – actually a galvanized tub filled with drying cement – and dropped into 20 feet of water at the end of the pier. He was, fortunately, dead from the overdose before he slipped under the water. His remains would never be found – except by the crabs.


    Huh? A succesful single killer? That would indicate a special role. The return of the serial kiler?

    Why was Lord Winter targeted?

    Two groups of shadowy figures faced one another on the roofs and alleys surrounding JimBob’s apartment. Figures would catch a glimpse of one another and freeze, poised for action – but nothing happened. The only sound came from the radio blaring in Ajaxfetish’s apartment next door to JimBobs – “My Favorite Husband,” starring Lucille Ball – followed by a lot of music and then silence as everybody in the apartments got a restful night’s sleep. Neither group of shadow figures ever made a move.


    What's all this about? Two groups of shadowy figures? Yet no attempt? Is there a rule that if two groups attack the same person on the same night both fail?
    JimBob was picked as a victim. Just like Glenn. The mafia getting nervous about them yet?

    What's that stuff about Ajaxfetish all about?

    There is something I would like to point out, After reading the write up at least three times. I noticed something. Now correct me if Im wrong but not once is Beefy even mentioned in ther write up. Not even as a passing fancy.No attempt was made on Beefy last night If Pannonian's pm were true there would have been at least a failed attempt mentioned. Has anyone else noticed that the supposed Pm in question could have been fabricated. By posting this "evidence" It seems to me that for some reason Pannonian and Woad&Fangs have something in the works that in the end will see me dead. And the question remains, why in the world would I target Beefy? He is a person who is usaully lynched within the first couple rounds, or is killed by Mafia. in almost game Ive played Beefy is always a high profile character, so if i was trying to keep a lo profile why would I kill him? So nefore you go and Bandwagon me any further I thinl you should examine the people that bought forth this supposed evidence against me.



    so
    Vote:Pannonian
    Fos:W&F

    Select: (Director for days 4 & 5) Kagemusha. He seems town-ish to me.

    I await any detective investigation(s) reveals before voting a lynch. (Glenn and/or JimBob may be exonerated as Don/Luca, but both seem to have some special role/ability.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Glenn is still suspicious in my eyes (Plus we agreed to lynch him and decide on JimBob later) and we can still utilise the multiple lynch rule.

    Vote: Glenn

    As for Director, it seems that it did Andres some good. He was a target and why should we waste the protection it gives him?

    Select: Andres


    @ Tiberius - An interesting point, can we hear a rebuttal from anyone?

    The fake Asian must have thought that his partner was going to be there, as is evident from the story. So what could have prevented his partner?

    Cowhead, taka, and Lord Winter were all headed home when attacked. Glenn is a don and so wouldn't participate in killings.

    That leaves Andres, who was coincidentally the director. It seems like the combination of being attacked (by mob hit men it would appear) and being constantly surrounded by police meant he couldn't make it to help kill GH.

    Vote: Andres

    Glenn & Jimbob maybe twilitblade?

    Scummy post, CR. Come on, you can do better.

    Why would all five hits be connected? There is obviously not a single group with the manpower to do so. Why are they all suspects simply for being attacked last night all of a sudden? What do you mean, 'that leaves Andres'? It all makes no sense.

    And you are an experienced player, you know full well that:
    - the director is free to go out killing at night.
    - you can go out killing yourself even when you are being attacked
    - that the hit on Andres wasn't a mob hit, but a mafia hit, by the Barzini's. You read the first write-up, you say so yourself.

    Those are three deliberate lies / misinformations. Three strikes is out, I'm afraid.

    Eager to lynch Andres, are we? Do you belong to the same Barzini muppets who tried to kill Andres last night? Well you can't kill him today either, he's still director.

    Maybe Andres is mafia. Maybe he is not. I don't know. But CR's post is such a bad attempt at an analysis that I can't believe it is not intentional misinformation. The first part about GH and his 'Asian' attackers is spot on. So is the bit about the different write-ups. CR is clearly paying attention and has a good grasp of the game mechanics. Yet what follows after that is such a mockery of a serious analysis it is simply beggars belief.

    hmm, if mafiosi kill each other it's actually good for town, I think. do you know more about andres? I'd prefer him dead, really.

    also, can someone quote the pm from tiberiusOTdrake? I haven't got it, as dead guy. (perhaps a clue, too?)

    I must say Tiberius that your post sounds stereotypical "desperate Mafioso trying to save himself". Fairly desperate, and also extreemly rushed.

    Although I do consider your reasoning regarding why you wouldn't want to attack Beefy sensible, there is a flaw in your logic - at the time the PM was posted, and if you were targeting Beefy, you still had time to PM Seamus and withdraw your kill on him so you could false claim Pannonion's PM.

    This may also explain this lone attack on GH - you withdrew from Beefy and then later decided to chase after GH. Although your accomplice had gained the PM withdrawing the attack on Beefy, he didn't receive his orders to murder GH in time for the night phase's conclusion.
