Capo di Tutti Capi III [Concluded]

[Crazed Rabbit]

And why not Xehh II if Haudegen is not a don?

The evidence me has only diminished over time. Every night I have dutifully sent in my protection orders.

Indeed, the only reason I'm being targeted is not because of any evidence I'm mafia, but because Askthepizzaguy apparently doesn't like anyone asking him questions. He told me that if I didn't vote for who he wanted, I'd be lynched.

*This is the same guy who didn't know the beretta killer was a don.

*The same person who misread the protection LG participated in and killed LG for it.

Is it scummy to try to increase the discussion in the Capo thread? No one else was doing it. And, indeed, the one person who wants me lynched more than anything else in this game agreed that I was helping the town:

But good speculative post CR, this might draw out the #5 killer

Now, Xehh II has lurked and continued to lurk. His behavior is very scummy- he popped in today and voted for me. It was a bandwagon vote and the third vote on the bandwagon at that (the one most likely to come from a mafioso).

Xehh II has not answered any questions about his possible not sending in orders to hit El Diablo.

So everyone has a choice in this game - to lynch the person who may not have sent their orders in and is constantly lurking and posting only very scummy votes. Or they can lynch me, the person who has been helping the town by increasing discussion. If I wanted to survive, I could do so by simply lurking and not posting anything.

But I know my survival is secondary to the town's goals. I had a chance to save my own skin by shutting up and voting for Shinseikhaan. But that's not how the game is won.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Shoot, fogot to bold the vote:
unvote, vote: Xehh II

CR

[Askthepizzaguy]

I want you to know, Crazed Rabbit, that you've endured some very harsh scrutiny, and I admire the fight you've put up.

The other shoe is about to drop. A moment, if you would please... discussing things with mah pals.

[Centurion1]

discussing things with mah pals.

more like your cronies.

[ULC]

more like your cronies.

Is there anyone present you'd like to say they are innocent or are not worth any forgiveness? Cookies, if you do.

[Askthepizzaguy]

When you see a good move, look for a better one.

For lack of better suspects, Crazed Rabbit and Khaan have been considered.

Boy, is Reenk going to be pissed. I apologize, Xehh, but sometimes deception is necessary to reach the truth. This just happened right before Seamus showed up with the results on Haudegen being false, so I wanted to avoid making a scene until after that.

And now, I give you: The full confession of the Number 5 killer.

Do enjoy.

unvote, vote: Xehh II

Who did you successfully vigilante kill?

I haven't killed anyone so far.

You have a guilty result. How do you explain that?

You are 100% sure that the person that says this is right?

It is... possible... that he is lying.

However, he's been 100% correct on about 20 investigations so far.

I am going to be the next one to be killed/lynched aren't I?

No, right now it is Haudegen for the lynch

(He did a vigilante kill, then had an innocent result??)

And someone else for the vigilante.


Why, did I catch you? Come on, just spill the beans. Are you the number 5 killer?

No, but it doesn't matter, everyone thinks I am, honestly, I am only an unaffiliated wiseguy, I would show you my role pm if you want me to.

All the townie role Pms and wiseguy role Pms are exposed. There's even FBI Pms floating around.

An unaffiliated wiseguy would not have a guilty result unless he killed at least once.

Are you SURE you never killed anyone?

Howcome I never see these pms float around?

Well, only 3 people thoughout the whole game have asked me to work with/for them but I can't remember actually doing anything until that failed hit I was in

The investigator has been asked to clarify that result with the host, along with Haudegen's result.

Either the game host owes you an apology for wrongly pointing the finger at you, or i am afraid you've been caught.

Why haven't you been more active at night? If you had protections or vigilante kills, you would have an alibi to point to. Even one vigilante kill would explain your result.

So when am I being killed?

That depends.

If you admit to being the number 5 killer, I might ask you to kill a suspected mafioso.

If you stick to your story, Haudegen dies today by lynch, unless the host intervenes and says he's got a guilty result, not an innocent (meaning, he made a mistake), and then someone else dies tonight.

When I would decide that you have to die, is if:

a) you stick to the story you gave me
b) the investigator comes back and says the result on you is legitimate

Then it would be the next vigilante kill or lynch available. Which could be today, if Haudegen is actually guilty, not innocent. We'd get an extension and you'd be lynched today.

If you are innocent as you claim, your best bet is to allow my investigator to come back with his corrected results. However, if you are not innocent, that is the road to instant death.

Best bet if you aren't innocent is to admit guilt immediately, so I know what you are, and I can work with you.

I guess you already know, It's pretty obvious isn't it?
So if I was the 5 killer you would deal with me? That's not very townie-like but if I were to do this, would you promise me to kill or lynch me for 3 game nights?

You would have to prove it, and target exactly who I say.

You'd appear in the writeup as the number 5 killer, attacking solo, and the person I request to die must die.

If you can do this, then yes, I can keep you around a good long time.

Here comes the tricky part, I don't kill who I choose.

You would need to put 1 vote on the person for me to kill them tonight
And tell me their name so I know who to choose.

Okay, one second...

(I am going to go back and check that. Me is thorough)

[ULC]

Unvote: CR, Vote: Xehh II

I was promised this would be fun.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well it turns out I was right all along about Xehh II, wasn't I?

CR

[GeneralHankerchief]

Holy beans ATPG, you must have a lot of time on your hand to write all of that.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yep, you were one step ahead of me, Crazed Rabbit. Not bad, not bad, not bad at all, I must admit.

If you look back throughout the whole game, the only people ever targeted by the Number 5 killer, were people with exactly one vote on them. That is supposedly the Number 5 killer's method, which I managed to determine because I asked, and it was requested I vote for the person Xehh would be killing, giving that player exactly one vote.

Now the vigilante groups and Reenk in particular are going to swear to high heavens that I must be in cahoots with Crazed Rabbit, but I know this: The Number 5 killer will never harm anyone again.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Vote:Xehh II

This is more like it...

[Sigurd]

vote: Xehh II

[woad&fangs]

Do I get to do an "I told you so" dance now?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Dunno if voting is still open and have no time to read the thread.

But I guess a Unvote ; Vote : Xehh II is in place.

[slashandburn]

Just got on and caught up. Vote:Xehh IINice work pizza.

[Reenk Roink]

The Mafia's chances of winning go through the roof when you kill that special role (townies don't need to outlive guys like Rhy or Xehh...

Now the balance must be restored the other way...

[Tratorix]

Unvote, Vote: XehhII

[Tratorix]

Crap, forgot to bold it.

Unvote, Vote: XehhII

[Xehh II]

Gutted, totally gutted, I knew you would do this to me ATPG.

I guess there's not much I can do now but sit back and watch.

Sunset, Day Fourteen


Shinseikhaan did not leave the room at the last break before the final tallies. Instead, he sat there calmly, stoic in his absence of emotion, as the argument swirled and the discussion shifted. Finally, based on a shouted discussion between Pizzaguy and Xehh II, the votes were re-cast and the time for more changes had elapsed. Shinseikhaan waited as the guards brought him the final tally.

"Xehh II," intoned 'khaan, "The committee judges you guilty of crimes against Fatlington and hereby orders your death. Guards, sieze him."

Xehh II did not stay still for it, instead, as the guards moved forward, he rushed at them! The first guard took a stiff right to the face and went down like he'd been hit with an axe handle, his shattered nose spraying blood all over. The second was tripped and kicked so rapidly that he found himself rolling into empty folding chairs wondering why he wasn't standing.

The remaining officers switched over to their night sticks. Xehh still fought, trying to kick, hit or rush each of the officers in turn, but their clubs gave them the edge in range. Each savage attack was hammered back and though the officers did take hits, none of them were caught flat-footed like the first two. Slowly, inexorably, they cornered Xehh, who could barely lift his arms from all the bruising.

Though his struggles continued, the result was already known. Eventually, the officers hammered him down and then cuffed him for good measure. At 'khaan's direction, Xehh II was taken to a large wooden crate that had been laid on the sands just below the boardwalk.

Xehh was placed in the box and his arms and legs shackled to the corners. A metual tube, designed to rest on four spindly legs, was placed over his nose and mouth. The officers then began to shovel sand into the box. They continued to shovel sand until Xehh was covered by more than a foot of it, only the metal breathing tube protruding. They then lined the sand with a thick layer of charcoal mixed with kindling. Then the officers and Shinseikhaan went under the boardwalk and put on military issue flame throwers that they'd borrowed from the armory, all five moving to positions on the boardwalk where they could flame the box.

The heat was intense, igniting the charcoal and kindling in a massive conflagration and even coating some of the sand with thin layers of glass. The intense fire managed to consume most of the oxygen in its midst, slowly taking away the very air Xehh II needed to breathe to survive. As the worst pains of suffocation hit him, Xehh inhaled as hard as he could...only to be rewarded with superheated air that scorched his lungs and damaged his ability to breathe. Lungs seared and starved of oxygen, Xehh II took almost 10 minutes to die, but the fire was hot for hours.

"'Khaan did a pretty fair with the pyrotechnics," said Twilightblade as he watched the flames.

"Yeah," said Proletariat, also watching, "But Reenk would've set up a clam-bake as well."



OOC

Orders for Night 14 are due at 1400 on Sunday. Please PM me any questions as to role changes etc. no later than mid-day Saturday so that they can all be resolved prior to final orders going in. Thanks.



Tally


1st Xehh II = 9 (askthepizzaguy, Chaotix, Crazed Rabbit, Joooray, Sasaki Kojiro, Sigurd, slashandburn, Tratorix, YLC)

2nd/3rd Crazed Rabbit = 2 (SSNeoperestroika, Xehh II)

2nd/3rd Haudegen = 2 (Kukrikhan, White_eyes:D)

4th/5th Shinseikhaan = 1 (spL1tp3r50naL1ty)

4th/5th Twilightblade = 1 (a completely inoffensive name)

[Double A]

Couldn't we have done a double lynch with the suspected don and the suspected #5 killer?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Couldn't we have done a double lynch with the suspected don and the suspected #5 killer?

Well, it didn't seem wise when the investigation result was corrected, which put the "suspected don" part in some doubt. I think there may be a lone Don, but if he was killing last night he would have a guilty result along with most people. And we were certain about the number 5 killer, it seems, which absolutely should remove a murder from what we have to deal with every night, which will keep more people alive for longer.

Because of Haudegen's successful protection, it is assumed he could not have been the Don then, and unlikely he'd advance to the rank of Don by now.

[Twilightblade]

Fire Fire Fire

Ahem, I mean 'good job with the pyrotechnics'

[TinCow]

Am I correct in thinking that the write-ups currently confirm that we have eliminated 3 Dons, 5 Lucas, and 5 Mades?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Am I correct in thinking that the write-ups currently confirm that we have eliminated 3 Dons, 5 Lucas, and 5 Mades?

The post mortems have indeed proven that at least that many are gone. Unless there is a way to make more Lucas that I am unaware of, that means the mafia have no protective powers of their own anymore. All Dons remaining should be vulnerable.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

All orders received before 3pm Eastern have been accepted and are being processed. Posting as soon as possible.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

You shed a shadow on my life
Shed a shadow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie
I couldn't see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise

But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day

-- Sade “Never thought I’d see the day.”

Summary of Events, Night Fourteen


As he made his way home, a completely inoffensive name kept his head down and his mind on his grumblings. <> He didn’t notice that the sidewalk had been modified since he last walked this way, or that he was now more or less suspended over a 30’-wide strip of water. He DID notice the kunai that flashed in front of his eyes.

He jumped back and drew his weapon in one motion. The second kunai whirled from the figure just stepping out from behind a parked van 40 feet distant, and with a metallic clang it knocked the gun from his grasp, spinning it into the water. Twilightblade walked up to a completely, stopping about 7 feet away. His glossy leather coat and hat gleamed in the dim light.

“You have offended me, sir,” said ‘Blade.

“What do you…”

“Your name is so inoffensive that I can ONLY be offended by it. We must now dance.”

Two kunai whirled out, thrown by ‘blade with both hands. They smashed glass bottles on either side, ringing the pair were filled with leaping flames. Small explosions broke the pavement behind each man. They now faced each other on a 4’ by 12’ island in the midst of a sea of flame. ‘Blade reached across his back and drew the ahenderei he so loved. With his other hand he drew a sword, a great kopis blade, tossing it handle first to a completely inoffensive name.

“You might be familiar with such a blade. Let’s dance!”

The two men traded blows in a flurry of steel. ‘Blade’s reach advantage was significant, but ACIN’s blade was heavier and his motivation made up for much of his lack of skill. Still, the conclusion had been foregone from the start. After a few minutes of fighting, the butt end of the ashenderei whipped out and disarmed a completely inoffensive name, sending his kopis after his pistol.

"You have fought well and honorably,” said Twilightblade. “I shall tell you how avoid getting burned by my powder.”

ACIN leaned forward slightly, interested despite his frustration.

“Wear fireproof clothing.”

Twilightblade did a backflip off the platform, diving through the flames without a murmer – he had followed his own advice – quickly emerging on the far side of the flames. A completely inoffensive name waited for the flames to die down, listening to the purr of the well-tuned Triumph as it roared off into the night.


Chaotix, despite his name, was fairly precise in his actions. With things in Fatlington trending the way they were, it was prudent to be aware of one’s surroundings. When the masked fellow with the large umbrella stepped around the corner ahead of him, he quickly leapt to the side and put his back to the door of the closed shop. He was not going to let anyone get behind him.

He noted the second figure, the one who had been shadowing him and prepared to cut loose with the Tommy gun the moment he focused on Mr Umbrella, and went for his gun. While prepared, it seemed unlikely he’d be able to stop one attack without falling to the other.

Chaotix then fell backwards into the store. Instantly, the door slammed behind him, a bar lock falling in place and an armored trench coat was thrown over him. He never got a good look at the people who’d done all of these things so quickly…but he was quite glad they had. His two attackers did not try to press their luck.


Crazed Rabbit sat at his table, sketch pad in hand. He was thinking of a huge mural that would hang for a hundred feet along the length of the pier, so his mind was full of ideas and concepts, each one almost leaping onto the paper. What he lacked was a single unifying theme.

Perhaps he might consider the three trench-coated Tommy gunners who were moving up the pier towards him as he sat at the bar at the Angler’s Dangle? But no, they were more of an interruption.

Still, they didn’t interrupt him for very long. The trio had just pulled back the bolts on their Tommies when they heard the clanging and banging of metal on wood. Someone had cut loose a stack of 18” gauge steel piping that now rolled down at them along the angled ramp leading back down to the bulkhead from the pier. Instead of firing at CR, they found themselves diving into the sand and refuse at the side of the pier.

Nor would their fourth shooter – the one guarding the bottom of the pier to close off Rabbit’s escape – be of any assistance. From somewhere near the end of the pier, a hidden sniper started putting bullets into the bulkhead nearby. Given current circumstances, the better part of valor clearly seemed to be discretion. The attack squad beat a hasty retreat.


The same concept, discretion, also appealed to SSNeoperestroika. When the first shooter opened up at him with a Garand carbine from across the street, he dropped behind a car and then did a low crawl towards the alley between the Five-and-dime and the taproom. He’d gotten a good look at his shooter – no mask and the hat had flipped off from the recoil of the carbine. But would he have a chance to confront him later?

You see, unfortunately for SSNeo, that alley was really his only means of escape from the first shooter – and easily turned into a trap by the simple expediency of having one shooter step out of the back door to the tappy. Fortunately for SSNeo, nobody did. He was able to make his escape. Tomorrow, he and Chaotix would have words.


Morning Meeting, Day Fifteen


“So anyway, maybe not a quiet not exactly, but nobody ended up dead.”

Fermanagh shifted his notes.

“Our success in lynching mafiosi seems to be continuing. Centurion1, according to our sources, was a Made gangster in one of the crime families. You are to be congratulated for using Tosa’s system so effectively.

“Efforts at taking the law into your own hands independently however, haven’t met with the same success. Pannonian was one of my hidden detectives. His loss hurts us all.”

Fermanagh stared at askthepizzaguy for several seconds.

“Surprisingly enough, it may be that the maniac killer with his sick love for the number five may have done us the most good of all, at least this time. LittleGrizzly was a Mafia Don and the head of one of the five crime families. We must make sure his killer is brought to justice – in the interest of our own safety – but in this case he helped Fatlington out.”

Fermanagh left the room. Shinseikhaan quickly reviewed the procedures for the lynch vote and for the selection process. The committee then adjourned, knowing that this afternoon’s session would prove…interesting.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sasaki, I thought LittleGrizzly pulled off a "successful" three man protection with you and Haudegen? Unless you are now changing your story and suggesting that it was a four man team now, it was all a lie. A mafia Don cannot do that. And you aren't suggesting that as your story, because you well know you claimed Haudegen's successful protection proved he wasn't a mafia Don. Which would only be proof if it was a group of three.

Is this why you're so upset I've been getting rid of everyone who has been working with you? Because you knew those working with you were mafia and needed someone to vouch for their innocence?

Centurion1, I believe this explains why your partner never materialized.

[Centurion1]

Sigh, and so i was discovered. Oh well if only i hadn't claimed that kill for myself.

[slashandburn]

Vote:Chaotix He is a communist and trying to kill people.
