Are you saying it's impossible that you're the godfather and Diana is the henchman?
I really, really appreciate the compliment.
They are not made of solid diamond, but thank you.
Pizza and Diana, I'd like to see your full role PMs please.
I can't send you hers, I asked her to check her inbox to see if she still has it, but she has the unfortunate habit of deleting stuff. Here is mine.

Title : The Fight for Inishmore!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Andres and ATPG.
You have been selected as the IRA "grunts" by your Godfathermother, Diana Abnoba.
As a duo, you get single kill per night phase. It is up to one of you to write that kill up and send it to me. It may only feature one person in it, they will also be named. To that end Andres, your name is Joey and ATPG, your name is James.
If one of you dies, the other shall continue with one kill per night. If Diana Abnoba dies, you both will try to escape Inishmore, resulting in your death. Keep her alive at all costs.
To win, defeat the English and outnumber the town.
And oh yeah, funny story... pevergreen told me originally my name was James. Later he told me he screwed up and it was actually Brendan. So I asked him if there was even a "James" in the game and he said no.
So I told YLC that my name was James and I was a roleblocker, to see if he would kill me.
Not bad for a bold little suicidal henchman. If I had gotten murdered at any time, there were a select few who thought I was James the roleblocker, and they would have been a target.
And even better, I now had allies/friends who I could manipulate. In the end, it would have exposed me as a henchman anyway, but I think YLC forgot and could not conclusively nail me down.
I can't wait until this game is over... there are quite a few "other" PMs I want to show you. Entertaining stuff. Beefy187, do you remember my lovely interrogation? Hilarious in retrospect because I was the scumbag, not you. I had an entire fake conversation with Diana Abnoba via PM to make it seem like I was manipulating her (distancing tactic) and an even longer, faker conversation where I hint to Andres that I just might be James, the roleblocker, without actually saying so, and I ask him who he considered suspicious, and he replied in skeptical fashion, of course... then there was a nice big "gap" where he was "at carnaval" and when he came back, he would "put two and two together" and see that there probably was no James and we needed to get rid of me.
I had pages of just plain fake conversations that never actually happened, except in staged fashion between myself and the people in question.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I was actually quite surprised I got away with all the stuff I did. Honestly, I broke just about every rule in my "SkyNet" no-no list. Voting for myself, defending others, breaking ties just before the deadline, and so on. One of my big big tells, "PM subterfuge" was basically all I did all game. Talking to everyone privately, not caring whether or not it was a scummy move to do so. I had used PM/out-of-thread subterfuge in every game that I was mafia in, too, so doing it again would only be much, much more dangerous as it fit the general pattern. The "fake role reveal" was another one, even if I only ever hinted I was "James". Worst of all was my asking that boudica not be lynched when we were tied. That kind of WIFOM is the stuff you'd expect from a mafioso trying to label himself "innocent" and avoid investigation.
I also operated under the assumption I had already been investigated. I was actually planning on accusing Diana Abnoba either this round or next... and see if that would result in the opposite effect.
I have a lot to say for the post-game discussion; I wanted to create a very deep illusion for this game that, even if it got exposed, would at least get brownie points for creativity. Please don't mistake this as gloating or ego stroking. I was trying to pull out all the stops and actually win this one, but the "Death" side-vote rule and Seireikhaan's vote, plus the other votes going towards Diana... it was a bit too late, I had to do something to try to get the English mafia dead first. I originally planned on only revealing myself, but since that wasn't saving Diana at all, and I was hoping that if I pointed the finger directly at her, the WIFOM would be too great.
At every point, I felt what I was doing gave us yet another chance of survival... even if it seemed too suicidal. Even Sasaki didn't think it was Diana for quite a while... still probably thinks it's LittleGrizzly. Now he thinks I am the Godfather, which is... quite an honor.
Edit:
You play good Pizza, but your poker face still has a couple of twitches.
And yeah... but it was good enough to get us both all the way through the game, and were it not for the "Death" vote, there is a chance we could have escaped the game. Maybe not a guarantee, but I think there was a good chance.
I will never be able to do this again, by the way. It was all or nothing for this game. You will never fall for anything like this again. As such, I can never vote for myself or do any of my scumtells this game, because they almost worked.
