Omertà II: The Battle for Atlantic City [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

All righty, PMs are going out within the next hour or two. I'll post back here when the game is officially ready to begin.

[GeneralHankerchief]

All roles have been given out. The game has officially begun!

As mentioned before, Sasaki Kojiro has been given the role of Don Selvo and is the only guaranteed innocent (in other words, this is one of the very rare cases where Rule #1 does not apply).

It is now Night 1. All orders are due Thursday, October 29 at 17:00 US Eastern (slightly over 24 hours from now).

edit: oops...night phase...nothing to see here

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well that makes my first murder a rather simple choice.

[johnhughthom]

What did he post? Vote Atpg?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes. And editing your posts doesn't make the instant notification sitting in my email inbox go away... I get to see everything in its original format.

A couple of administrative notes:

First of all, unlike in last game, only three roles got names - the Don, Underboss, and Consigliere. The rest of you just have your role's title.

Secondly, I have given the mafia New York mafia cover PMs. As a matter of fact, the New York guys were determined after I had sent the original role PMs, in order to test the flexibility of the system.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Woo! Go Cliff Lee! Take that, you New York SoBs!

Posting to bookmark and watch the fun. Sad I was to late to the show (as usual), but will be interesting to see what parts of my original proposal for a sequel GH used.

This better be good GH

[GeneralHankerchief]

Right, haven't had many orders yet. Therefore, I'm extending this round until 23:59 tonight (about 6 hours from now).

[Centurion1]

hey you got mine right gh?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 1 has ended, processing orders now.

Night 1

Back in Philadelphia, all of the members of the Catalano family had front jobs. You see, every mafioso had to appear as a respectable businessman to the public, or, at very least, the cops. These jobs were quite varied. Some where barbers. Some were antique furniture dealers. Some were bartenders. And some... some were pizza shop owners.

Askthepizzaguy was one of these pizza shop owners. And he was the kind of pizza shop owner that loved his craft, and was even still involved in it many decades after starting out. Despite living the life of a mafioso, he had grown to embrace his double life, and became well known as a pizza connoisseur. He even wrote a few review columns for the local paper's food section.

It was thus that ATPG viewed the family's sojourn as a vacation. While the rest of his buddies were out gambling and drinking, Pizza decided to sample the shore town's local parlors. So, at any given time, he could be found eating.

And eating and eating and eating.

There were three knocks to his hotel door. As a minor local celebrity, Pizza could afford to live a bit more lavishly than the rest of his comrades without arousing suspicion. Thus, he was holed up in a fancy suite at the Borgata hotel.

"ENTER," boomed a voice that from outside sounded rather like Jabba the Hutt with a head cold.

The door opened, and the hotel worker that wheeled in ATPG's food cart saw only a bloated, disgusting creature that looked at the mountain of pizza with beady eyes. He grinned, but it was unnoticeable with all of the other folds of skin that covered his face. Two massive arms reached out, almost groping for all the pizza.

You see, ATPG was quite a connoisseur.

"I'll just leave this for you here, sir," the hotel worker said smoothly, Pizza not noticing his slicked back hair or his fine Italian suit under his hotel uniform. He wheeled the cart right up to the blob, making sure it was within an arm's length, and then departed.

"WAIT," Pizza said suddenly, and the hotel worker stopped, trying not to show any nerves. "YOUR TIP. FETCH MY WALLET, IT'S RIGHT BY THE DOOR. TAKE ONE $50 FROM IT."

"Thank you much, sir," the worker said, moving to the wallet and breathing a soft sigh of relief. "Have a good night." He took his $50 and exited the room.

One hour later, Askthepizzaguy lay dead, face-down in the still-uneaten pizza. His gluttony had finally overcome him, his cultured mouth failing to pick up on the fact that the pleasant, unfamiliar taste was poison.

That morning, Don Selvo called each of his Capos, telling them to summon their men to his secret hideout in Atlantic City to discuss events. One of them had been attacked at night, after all.

"Gentlemen," he said, in a very smooth tone, "one of us has been brutally murdered last night, and I suspect it was on the orders of the Mafia Commission. Well, we will not stand for this. The Commission may be the sovereign, but it has broken its own rules by declaring Atlantic City open for business. It is not. AC has and always will be our territory, and I know that at least one of you in this very room is working for New York. If you had any sense, you would leave now and take that message to your bosses."

Everybody was silent. Nobody moved an inch.

"Very well," said Don Selvo, "We'll do it the hard way. You are all intelligent men. Therefore, we will smoke out the rat by democratic vote. Whoever has the most votes by the end of the day will leave the family... forever. I hope you all get my message. Begin voting."

It is now Day 1. Voting will conclude on Saturday, October 31st, at 2:00.
