Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

Chief of Police Beirut looked out over the town square from the newly-constructed execution platform and swelled with pride. His charges, the villagers of the Frontroom, were doing their civic duty and voting! Granted, it was to horribly execute the person that had killed two of their own, but nonetheless they were voting. Beirut was so proud of them.

He walked down, off the platform, and towards the townspeople, hoping to catch snippets of their deliberations and glean valuable information towards every individual's psyche.

"Vote for me, it means I'm innocent!"

"I'm voting for him because it's tradition!"

Tradition? Beirut thought. That was weird... surely, none of them had ever done this before...

Well, at least they were voting, he supposed.

Eventually, all the discussion wore down, votes were cast, and Beirut, back atop the execution platform, called for order.

"Gentlemen," he began, "It is time to enforce your decision. Privateerkev, as per your... er... wishes, you will hereby and immediately be executed."

Privateerkev eagerly bounded up the platform, clapping his hands again and again and overall, looking like a small, hyperactive child who had a $100 gift certificate to the candy store. "Oh, goody!" he shouted over the crowd, "I can't wait to start! How'm I going to get executed? Hanging? Electric chair? Sharks with frickin' lasers?"

"Nope," Beirut replied incredulously. "To send a message to the mafia, your tongue will be removed and you will be buried alive with approximately 27 rather large tarantulas to keep you company." He pulled a rope and next to the execution platform, a sand pit and a large wooden crate with the words "DO NOT OPEN" stamped on it were revealed.

The color quickly drained out of PK's face and the world record for "fastest, most drastic facial expression change" was shattered.

"If you'll hold still, please," Beirut said, brandishing a large, rusty knife. "Open wide!"

Privateerkev started screaming at the top of his lungs and didn't stop until there was no more air to enter his lungs, some thirty horrible minutes later. Every single townsperson could hear him even through the large amount of sand placed over his and the tarantulas' bodies.

"Just a reminder, if you're a mafioso, the same fate or worse awaits you, Beirut said cheerily. If you'd like to confess now, then I can arrange a quick, humane execution instead."

Silence.

"No? Well then, go home everybody and hope you did your jobs."

Congratulations, you've just survived your first day phase! I'd also like to say thank you for voting, because having only 5 "no votes" in the first round is really impressive. PMs please.

mmgmgmggmmmlllgmurglemmm

*puts tongue back in and brushes off the spiders*

Alright, FoS to anyone who was on that ridiculous Sasaki bandwagon. Anyone who piled on that one smells like scum.

[Ferret]

You're such a fool PK...I bet he was a detective or something

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'd just like to say that exactly two years today, Mafia I was first posted in the Frontroom.

Here we are, June 5th, 2008, in the middle of the eigth iteration of the game and not to mention what has to be around the hundredth total. We have our own subforum, HoF awards, and .Org subculture. Friendships have been cultivated, minds have been sharpened, and fun has been had by all. It's all thanks to you guys and your continued participation in these games. Here's to many more great years of .Org Mafia, guys!

[pevergreen]

It's been a fun year and a half that i've been here.

To another two years

All because someone lost "on a pirate ship" had a vision....

Kudos herr General! Congrats to all who've trod "the sands" of the gameroom and the frontroom before! Congrats to Sasaki and Andres for keeping a lid on this cacaphonous coterie of competitive crazies! Congrats to....oh shut up Seamus and go get a Guinness.

Explain Good Sirs, or be ruthlessly terminated.

-edit-
Happy Birthday Mafia Games!

Congrats GH, and thanks Sasaki Kojiro and Andres.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Here's to another two years :cheers:

By the way, won't be here fri-sunday night. Got the weekends mixed up.

[Csargo]

A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.

Congrats to GH for starting a great game and Sasak, Andres, and Seamus for keeping order in this place.

[seireikhaan]

Muchos gracias to the General for bring us mafia, as well as Sasaki-Sama and Andres for being resident mods and putting up our antics.

[CountArach]

Congrats and thanks GH

Don't know about the rest, but georgeman51 signed up for LotR last week and then disappeared off the face of the earth. I suspect he's one of those Org n00bs who signs up for games and then never returns to the forums.

[Andres]

It's a bit early to go after the lurkers, isn't it?

[Quintus.JC]

Woah I'm still here. Nice execution method by the way. When does the other 2 people get murdered again?

[Craterus]

When the mafia send their orders and GeneralHankerchief decides to post the kill write-ups.

[KukriKhan]

Don't know about the rest, but georgeman51 signed up for LotR last week and then disappeared off the face of the earth. I suspect he's one of those Org n00bs who signs up for games and then never returns to the forums.

OK, so he's WoG-bait then. The rest of the non-participants?

Gotta dash to the day-job, so I'll throw a vote out there:

vote: Mithrandir

I've not ever seen him sign up to a project, then ignore it. Hughly suspicious.

If you would have checked his profile, you would have noticed that he hasn't been online since the 3th of June. If you would have checked his posts, you would also have noticed that he didn't even post in the game he is hosting...



Are you just being lazy or were you trying to quickly throw in a vote, almost unnoticed, to disappear again in the shadows?

Oh, and to our mafiosi: killing me won't shut me up

[FactionHeir]

Mods using their top secret spy cams to check on people's online dates. The end of the world is nigh!

I've not "disappeared again in the shadows", but I did quickly put a vote up (quickly, because of work commitments) for the one player with whose participation and posting style I'm most familiar - of the list of non-voters. I FoS all non-voters; Mithrandir is the one I 'knew' best. With your query Andres, now I'm a little worried about our Mith. Hope he's OK.

Also note that the forum is still 'under construction', so participation may be negatively effected by that. I had to re-log-in once the org went 'live' again; guys may not remember their login password, etc.
