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 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.
