The Trouble in Waiting [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

IMO 3-2 is a losing vote tally for the town. The mafia are likely spread and can switch at the last minute.

Need a more unanimous choice.

[Captain Blackadder]

unvote woad&fangs.

vote civplaya

I go with consensous

[civplayah]

I really thought we could win this one, but we can't. That is, if I die. I could argue with Renata, but I'd rather not.

Congrats, whoever the mafia is, you've managed to win the game flawlessly.

[civplayah]

Also, to Death is Yonder,

So civplayah, who do you think is the 2nd mafia then, since you seem convinced of ATPG's innocence. The tone in this post sounds vindictive even, are you going to attempt to lynch woad today and come up with a half-baked story about how therefore so and so must be guilty tomorrow?

I'll like an answer on that

Honestly, I don't have an answer. It's a good argument, and you've caught me. It's too bad I'm a townie.

Round was over a few hours ago, gonna get writeup started.

Ok, maybe panic wasn't the right word for it. “Extreme unease”? Yes, that was a better phrase for what I was feeling. Following a short discussion, I was handed Civplayah. Maybe they were right. But it still felt like a dark cloud was hanging over the whole of us, an ominous aura. Either way, Jannette took up her task as per her usual custom, creating for herself a rapier, which she used to end Civplayah in two short strokes. The rest of us looked about the room at each other, almost expecting two of us to emblazon the rest of us with bullets or magic arrows or holy hand grenades or whatever was being used to make people disappear each night. Yet... nothing.


“Alrighty folks, we're done here for now,” Jannette tweeted. “Now, off to transience again!” She continued, waving us off. “Sleep tight!” I stalked off to my quarters for the night, not sure what to make of what might happen next.

Ohhh, we must have lynched a mafia before, because if we didn't the game would have ended.

I was sitting on a marble bench the next morning, impatiently tapping my foot, waiting for news. My nerves were becoming increasingly shot as the seconds ticked by. I was started by a faint pop behind me, only to find Jannette smoothing her jacket out. “Morning, John,” she whistled. “Isn't this exciting? We'll find out if you've helped lead the group to victory!” I just swiveled on the bench away from her, feeling ill. I couldn't believe that, even now, she was still the same appallingly chipper woman.


There it was. The tell tale sounds of footsteps against the marble floor, coming from the privacy quarters. Did we do it? I felt my spirit lift against the shadow of doubt hovering over me. Out from the hallway stepped Renata and woad&fangs, each with a smirk upon their face. “... Have you two seen Captain Blackadder or Death is Yonder?” I asked them. Renata tilted her head to the right in some kind of thoughtful maner.

“Well.... I guess you could say that,” she said. She winked to the man beside her. They both held their right hands aloft, and a jet black dagger materialized in each. “Its all over, Heathen....” They leaned forward to start into a sprint, when....


“CONGRATULATIONS!” A new voice rang out from nowhere. Streams of confetti shot across the room from unknown sources, and the knives disappeared from their hands. Trumpets and trombones could be heard but not seen. A marble platform appeared in the middle of the room, as well as two new workers, who ushered woad&fangs and Renata onto it. Several simultaneous pops clicked at once, and suddenly the room was filled to the brim with everyone from the past week or so, all whole and healthy, if a bit dazed. From behind me, Jannette was clapping excitedly, smiling as always.


“Wha... what? How? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?” I cried out in near tears. Jannette briskly stepped up to the platform where woad&fangs and Renata stood, looking about as stunned as myself.


“Congrats to both of you, you did an excellent job!” Jannette congratulated them. “Its been a while since we've seen such an excellent performance by the mafia!”


“The... the mafia?” myself, woad, and Renata all queried at once. “Oh yes, you two were the mafia. That's what we call 'the intruders' in this exercise,” she explained. “Wait.... exercise?!” we screamed. “This was just an exercise!”


“Oh, yes, of course sillies. People can't actually die up here,” she said with a wink to me.


“But... but... but.... whyyyyyyyyy?” I cried. “Why all this?”


Jannette looked quite puzzled. “Isn't that obvious? It really does get dreadfully boring up here. I mean, there's not even any internet!” she shook her head a bit. “I was to help get this exercise going by telling dear woad and Renata here that everyone was plotting against The Boss, so they naturally took up what was a sacred duty. And quite well, to reiterate. I'm just happy I was able to go back home while you were in transience, otherwise I'd have been a week or more without facebook! Can you imagine? Oh, well... I guess you can, but oh well. Anyways, yes, this was to liven things up in this dull place. It sure beats Bingo, doesn't it?” She winked again.


“Now, for you two, I have a prize, of course! For such an excellent job and winning the exercise, I present you with something you'll be able to use once you're finished here.” Jannette pulled a few slips of paper out of her jacket pocket and handed two slips each to woad and Renata.


Woad read the lettering aloud. “Good for one free entree with the purchase of another of equal or greater value.... to Bennigans. Wait, where are we all heading when we're done with this?” Jannette just winked at him one last time.


“Well, toodles everyone, I'll see you in a week or so for Twister!”


TOTAL MAFIA VICTORY!

[Death is yonder]

I will say this much: The distancing vote between woad and Renata on round one, plus his incorrect vote on me this round, is indicative of their partnership. I would also suggest that it was indeed Renata who killed off Diana and Split, for very smart reasons.

Yes, that just means the kills will drop to one when woad or Renata is lynched.

You could always drop the kill number down to one now, and pretend I was guilty.

I know you're speaking purely for the "benefit" of the people reading the thread other than me, so I won't bother.

Big fat hint: Renata is guilty.

Ahh the shame

Good game mafia

Well played.

And well done to ATPG too, you got it all right, but we didn't listen.

Ahhhhhhh.

Thanks Khaan for hosting this game

Looks like the curse of Khaan is back eh?
