The Godfather, Part 2 [Concluded]

[Masy]

There's not very much between them, to be honest, but voting for the CoP on the basis that GH was mafia in the last game seems like a really sill

Indeed, it seems unlikely that the mafia would get CoP twice. I'm taking on board that it is not in the town's interest to abstain, so Vote: Drisos

though I would really hope the chief of police would be top of the list for the detective

Yes, that is sensible. You getting this detective?

[Csargo]

We cannot kill the Police Chief just yet because I'm sure he's the first person the detective would investigate(hopefully). My vote goes with Drisos nothing personal.

Vote: Drisos

Day breaks in the Gameroom.

The people had been up all night voting between Drisos and Divine Wind for which out of the two to lynch. Major Robert Dump had voted and revoted, and by the time he got home he needed to relax. So, he turned on the TV to watch the news. Of course, all of it was about the mafia. Apparently some town called Ogunquit was saved, but Vernazza, Italy, was the mafia's next target. Obviously, the Gameroom murders were also mentioned.

This annoyed MRD. He didn't like it when the news focussed too much on a single theme, as he preferred to know what was going on in other areas as well. Politics, technology, even pop culture was preferable to being constantly blasted with news about the mafia. He pressed the red button on the remote to turn it off, got out of his armchair and went into the kitchen.

"Don't turn me off!"

MRD turned around in a start. Did that TV just... talk? He pointed his remote at the TV and pressed the power button a few times, but nothing happened. The voice coming from the box chuckled.

"Oh no, it's too late now, my friend. Far, far too late."

MRD screamed, turned, and ran. But he didn't get that far. Because a Mafioso rose up from behind the TV, and put five bullets from his Walther P99 into his victim's back.

The Mafioso then plugged the TV back in and laughed. While he was leaving, he put a bullet in MRD's head just for good measure.

It was early morning, and Chief of Police Divine Wind was in a hurry. He grabbed Drisos, shoved him in the electric chair, strapped him in, shaved his head and leg, dipped the sponge in the water, squeezed it, put it on Drisos' head, put an electrode on his head and another on his leg and finally, flipped the switch at 2,000 volts. When it seemed certain that Drisos was dead, he switched it to a measly 8 amps to reduce the heat but also to keep the current flowing.

"OK, that's him dead. Now, onto more pressing matters. We have again lost a great member of our community in Major Robert Dump. He was a noble man, somewhat obsessed with hippoes but still noble nonetheless. It has been a long night, but unfortunately we must still vote again to kill someone else as we now know that he was not (solely) responsible for the murders. Please vote now. I am undecided on the next method of execution."

Quick Note: Divine Wind, you need to PM me during the night telling me what the method of execution will be. I only told you to do it during the day last time because I didn't want to PM you during the night. I will let you off this time, though. Just PM me during the day today and in the night for the rest of your life in game.

[Csargo]

Wait I'm confused here MRD was killed by the mafia?

[Don Corleone]

I'm confused as all hell. Did MRD just die or not? He's described as being lost in the game story, but he's listed as still alive (Lemur and UltraWar are the only two mafia kills thus far.).

[Masy]

Byz?!? Robert Dump!?! Help?!!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Apparently ByzantineMercenary and MRD were killed.

[Masy]

Right, Major Robert Dump said a few things that might have got him killed:

He questioned Ignoramus. I doubt this is Ignoramus taking revenge (unless this is some kind of crazy double double bluff), but rather is a lazy attempt to frame him.

He said some important statistical stuff, which could have scared a mafia into thinking he was too smart to leave alive.

Thoughts?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Aside from the mafia, the detective would obviously be trying to subtley lead the town without drawing too much attention to himself. Detective seems like a high stress job.

Posts like this are what got him killed. At this stage the Mafia will jump at any clue to kill the detective.

Ignoramus's vote for self I find mildly suspicious.

But I'm going to Vote:Kommodus because he would be a likely candidate for chosen mafioso.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I believe we need some divine clarification; who's dead?

I'm terribley confused.

Crazed Rabbit

[Masy]

believe we need some divine clarification;

Can't give you that, but i believe MRD is dead, and possibly Byzantine Mercenary

[Silver Rusher]

Ah, b******s, I completely screwed that one up...

Forget everything you saw previously. It's all in order now.

Damn you Sasaki for stealing my show.
I am not going to elaborate too much, but Kommodus is the Godfather.
He did one mistake very early in the game and I am calling him on it.

Vote:Kommodus

[Myrddraal]

What?

Please, could someone post in bullet point form, who died this round?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

So apparently the mafia were going to kill Byz and MRD but decided to pretend Drisos was mafia? Or was Drisos mafia and Silver messed it up by putting in both kills?

Doesn't matter, we won't be complacent and won't conclude anything either way. If the mafia want to kill only one person the rest of the game, more fool them, if we got a mafioso, then yay for us.

[Silver Rusher]

What?

Please, could someone post in bullet point form, who died this round?

Read the post. I changed the very numerous mistakes.

[Masy]

Right. One towns-person dead this round. Seems the mafia are going for the 'one-kill-a-round-policy-lets-keep-them-guessing'.

He did one mistake very early in the game and I am calling him on it.

What was that?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

What?

Please, could someone post in bullet point form, who died this round?

• MRD (killed)
• Drisos (lynched)

[GeneralHankerchief]

Then why does it say that "he put a bullet in Byz' head just for good measure?"

Something's definitely up. In the meantime: Sigurd, why Kommodus?

[Myrddraal]

one-kill-a-round-policy-lets-keep-them-guessing

It must be that. I seriously doubt we got a mafia first round, that would just be too wierd, besides, the last Godfather game probably inspired this.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Alright, I'll play.

However, I probably won't be able to participate fully until the end of Cosa Nuova, which is where much of my online time is going. So you probably shouldn't expect any brilliant new mafia-hunting ideas from me.

Vote: Abstain

Wow, I've never done that before. It feels... odd.

I'll have to come back and look over these posts more when I have more time. It shouldn't be too long, I hope.

I'm not seeing it Sigurd. The old "I'm too busy for the game so I won't be posting much" ploy is suspicious but I don't see how that points to Godfather. Still your show.

[Sigurd]

I wan't to hear Kommodus' defence before I continue

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I'm not seeing it Sigurd. The old "I'm too busy for the game so I won't be posting much" ploy is suspicious but I don't see how that points to Godfather. Still your show.

May not be a ploy. However, if it continues past the post-mortem ( ) write-up on Casa Nouva, then the suspicion will deepen. And we should be seeing that posted relatively soon I would think.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I wan't to hear Kommodus' defence before I continue

Fair enough.

[Masy]

I wan't to hear Kommodus' defence before I continue

Defence to what? You haven't actually given him something to defend, just that he is the godfather...

What did he say early on that triggered your suspicion?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Was Drisos mafia? Unlikely.

So the mafia may be trying the ole one kill a round thing, to make Drisos look like mafia and make his accusers look innocent.

Also, Sigurd, why Kommodus? He can't defend himself against unknnown charges.

Crazed Rabbit

[Dutch_guy]

I wan't to hear Kommodus' defence before I continue

On a different note, didn't Kommodus have a brilliant technique to flush out the mafioso ? He used it last game and flushed out Masy and Discovery in...what...3 rounds ?

So why isn't he using this now ?

[Masy]

So why isn't he using this now

Good point. Discovery was lynched through luck, so I am doubtful of this fantastical method. Perhaps he got me through sheer luck, or he does have a method. Who knows? Kommodus?

[Myrddraal]

Also, Sigurd, why Kommodus?

Ditto

For now, that is...
