Seven Man Scrimmage V - Red Herring Mafia [Concluded]

[Subotan]

22:57, 2nd October 1911, Carnegie Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA

The ballroom of the Carnegie Hotel is identical to Versailles' Hall of Mirrors, just without the mirrors. Massive in every dimension, and with walls covered in priceless art, it is the pinnacle of luxury in Edwardian America. It is so brightly illuminated by the colossal chandeliers that loomed over the visitor, that even at 11'o clock at night, the incomer would have to squint when he entered. Once the eyes had focused, they would naturally lay themselves upon the dominating glass panniers that hovered overhead. As the visitor began to count the twelve regularly inter-spaced baubles, he would notice that the seventh one was not in it's proper position. Rather, it was lying on the floor, in a thousand more pieces than it should have been, on top of a pair of shiny black shoes.

This particular visitor strode through the crowd of tuxedo-d middle aged men fretting around him towards the shoes. As he got there, some of the suited men had managed to push the beast of a chandelier of the shoes, which were revealed to be attached to a pair of legs which belonged to Mr Subotan, the master professional. Or, the late Mr Subotan, as Mr Subotan had recently undergone intense crushing, a death by tackiness. As the visitor knelt down and rolled the body over to confirm it's identity, a little blood could be seen to have stained the collar of the late gentleman's tuxedo. Around the cadaver, the suits were variously sobbing or gawking at the disaster which had just befell the convention.

The new arrival sighed and stood up. As he lit a cigarette, he raised his eyes to the banner draped over the long wall of the ballroom and cursed. For on that banner was printed, in foot high letters:

WELCOME
BUTLERS OF THE WORLD

Welcome to Subotan's first mafia game, a game inspired by the above Far Side cartoon! This is the latest in the now well established Seven Man Scrimmage series started by Diamondeye (Please don't kill me for pinching the SVS name), and I intend for this to be a simple game, yet one in which you are all kept in the dark.

Convention Continues: Threat of Raging Psychopath "Exaggerated"

Despite the recent death of the esteemed Mr. Subotan, The World Butler Convention will continue. A spokesperson for the Convention, Mr Pevergreen issued a statement yesterday evening:

"Although it is of course incredibly unfortunate that the front-runner for the 'Best British Butler' Prize was impaled by three hundred shards of glass, the Convention's managers have decided not to cancel the Convention. There is no evidence yet that his death was the result of foul play, and the rumours of a 'mafia' who want everyone in the Convention disembowelled are clearly exaggerated, despite the messages written in blood on the Hotel's walls."

Third Party sources suspect that the convention will continue due to the power of the aristocratic families who have bankrolled the competition, and whose butlers are competing for the top prize. Mr Sniffleburg, the master of the late Mr. Subotan, was reported to have received phone calls from other members of the upper class which consisted of braying, taunts and quotes such as "That'll serve you right for shooting my bloodhound on Greenham Moor!". Mr Sniffleburg in a press conference said

It's a terrible crime, and the culprit should be apprehended and feel the full force of the law as quickly as possible. The destruction of such a beautiful chandelier is a monstrous act, and the fact that it puts me out of the running for winning "Best British Butler" prize only makes it worse!

Pittsburgh Police are currently conducting a investigation, with Inspector Collings leading the inquiry.

EDIT:Night should start iin 24 hours.

Woot.

Vote: No lynch

[Methos]

Is it just me, or is it best in a seven man game to always Vote: No Lynch on the first day?

[Centurion1]

vote: abstain

bad move to take a random lynch in a mini mafia.

[Subotan]

Ugh, you're all cowards.

In other news, I have decided that the competition of "Best British Butler" will be open to all butler characters. The winner is the butler who posts the most posts by the end of the game. Of course, you can't win if you're dead, so you have to be alive by the end of the game to win.

Posts the most posts?

Host, the one who boasts the most posts won't even be close. Here's a dose of reality, I post by the gross, and the competition I'll roast. They don't stand a chance of a ghost; I shall coast to victory and give them a toast.
