For those who have asked, the game will start at 9:00 PM GMT today. I was out all yesterday evening so I couldn't do it then, apologies.

Mafia: Promoting peace and love since June 2006
Day breaks in the Gameroom. All is quiet.
The fair had moved into town recently. It was a joyous occasion for all those who visited, especially Lemur, who was having a great time. He was in the Gameroom after all; how could anything possibly harm him in the Gameroom?
Out of all the wondrous fairground booths, one particularly caught Lemur's eye. It was a bagatelle booth! The mustachioed man in the booth gave him a funny look before opening his mouth to speak.
"Ah, we have a challenger! Very well, step right up and drop the little ball. Where it lands will determine your prize!"
Bagatelle involves a board with metal rods sticking out, which make the ball change direction as it falls. In an ordinary game, this usually makes the ball go into the farthest slot on the right, resulting in no prize. But the one Lemur played was slightly different.
He stepped up to the game board and dropped the ball. He watched it go left, then right, then left, then left, then right, and in the slot that read "Medium Prize!" 'Alright,' Lemur thought.
The mustachioed man handed Lemur a soft, pink pony. Without hesistation, Lemur took it. His daughter had always wanted one of these, and now he dad would be able to give her one. The grin stayed on Lemur's face throughout his day at the fair, and even in the car as he was driving home. As he turned onto the main road he noticed a strange sound coming from the backseat, where he had left the pink pony.
"ticktickticktickticktick"
Lemur's foot slammed the brakes, but before it had any effect...
"KABOOOM!!!" Lemur's car, and his body with it, disappeared into the inferno.
It was safe to say that UltraWar was not the wealthiest man in the Gameroom. In fact, it would have been pretty safe to say he was among the poorest. He was so poor in fact that he and his wife both had to work 2 shifts on their jobs.
Coming home from his job as a machinery operator at the Gameroom Quarry, he was incredibly tired. It was midnight when he even left the place; as you can imagine, being held back on a 2-shift workday isn't the most pleasant experience. He drove along the empty mountain road, winding around the contours of the mountainside at most half awake.
He was so tired that he didn't notice as a van left its parking space on the side of the road until the last minute. Seeing the van he sprung awake and swerved the car straight off the side of the road, and it in turn barrel rolled towards the lake below. Before the car hit the lake with a tremendous splash, UW was able to glimpse the writing written on the side of the van. It read: "Vincenzo's Guttering".
UltraWar was quickly able to get out of his car and swim to the surface. However, he had broken both legs and was unable to move further. Fortunately for him, a passing stranger had seen it all happen. He swam into the lake and dragged UltraWar out.
"I don't know how to thank you," UltraWar began, before seeing the gun pointed in his face. A shot was fired, and UW's body tumbled straight back into the lake...
The people gathered in the centre of town to be addressed by their Chief of Police Divine Wind. Everybody was too anxious, however. This was the first time a single murder had ever taken place in their quiet town.
"Quiet!" DW tried to enforce his will over the murmurs of the crowd. They took no notice however.
"SHUT UP!!!" He yelled his lungs out this time, and a few heads turned but nobody really took any attention.
Losing his patience, DW pulled out his pistol and fired a single shot into the air.
"AAAH!!! SOMEBODY ELSE HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!" a villager screamed as he stood, clutching his head, before noticing DW holding the smoking pistol with a bored expression on his face.
"Take a seat."
"Sorry, sir."
"Anyway, as you are all aware, we have lost two good citizens of our community, Lemur and UltraWar. UltraWar's body was found with a bullet imbedded in his brain and we found traces of TNT in what appears to be a charred 'pony' in Lemur's former car. So, we can only conclude that this was murder."
"We know it was murder!"
"QUIET!" DW was getting annoyed with the distractions, but tried to maintain his composure anyway. "We also know that nobody entered or exited the city since the time of the murders, and so the murders must have been committed by one of you sitting here!" This generated a few murmurs, "QUIET!" the murmurs stopped, "Now, the one man police force has no leads and so, according to the city charter, we must have a vote on who to execute as punishment for these murders. Get to it."
How to vote:
Type Vote: and the name of the person you wish to vote for to be executed all in bold. Example: Vote: Silver Rusher. Instead of the person's name, you may also put Abstain or No Lynch. If you Vote: Abstain it basically means you don't vote but you also don't get a warning. If you Vote: No Lynch it means you vote for nobody to be executed at all.
The Chief of Police role:
-This role was randomly selected from all players in the game except the detective. Yes, it includes the mafia.
-This role cannot be killed at night. If the mafia try to kill the CoP at night, they will not kill anyone.
-However, the role can still be lynched as it is possible for the person to be a mafioso.
-DW must PM me now and every night (after lynchings) to tell me how he wants to execute each person.

For starting what could be another cycle of "I abstain, because there isn't enough information to go on, because everyone else abstained, because there isn't enough information to go on, because..."
Vote: Divine Wind
He's been consistently voting only a snowman and his vote in the past games. Why was he chosed CoP anyway? We have basically nothing to go on, so I'd like to see him lynched. (btw, I just thought of, will he PM Silver Rusher with the method he himself is lynched?)
There's nothing good (for now), and it's just too easy for him to continue his 'no-discussion' style of voting/posting, while being mafia. No one would notice.

RIP Tosa, I can't believe you are gone, but we will never forget you
At 5 am I wanted to remind you mathematical geniuses of that new rule saying:
Which essentially means once we get one mafioso, we will only see one kill per round giving us more time and also proving the last lynched person guilty.-The Godfather will not be able to kill anyone, but if he dies the townspeople win. If one of his mafiosi dies, the other will still only be able to kill one person each round and so there will only be one murder each round. If both his mafiosi die he will then have the power to kill one person each round himself.
In return logic or however that is called this means if two kills happen, the last lynched person was innocent. Happy thinking, I will post my vote after some sleep.![]()
