The Godfather, Part 2 [Concluded]

[Xiahou]

I knew the mafia feared me.

This is just my gut instincts here, but I don't think the mafia is only taking one kill a turn to fake us out- I think we got at least one of them. If they had been killing two all this time it'd be pretty all sewn up by now wouldnt it?

So many suspicious people left... and so little time remaining for the townsfolk. I dont know with any certainty who's mafia- but Seamus makes alot of good points about who to watch out for. Of course, we musnt overlook the frightening possibility that Seamus is mafia- what better way for the mafia do game Seamus' analases than if he was also one of them. I dont think we should start the bandwagon based on this, but the notion bears discussion.

[Kommodus]

Whispers from the dead: Ah, so the brave townsfolk are at a loss, indeed? Despair not, good people of the Gameroom, for though I appear but little I have not forgotten your plight! Nay, how could I forget they who have so wisely and selflessly relocated my body to the depths of this lake? The waters are cool and refreshing, and the creatures of the lagoon are steady and amicable company; though they do get peckish occasionally and are wanting for conversation.

Despair not, for my watery abode affords opportunity for little but thought, and where there is theory, practice is not far behind. Can the steady, relentless assault of logic break apart this conundrum, as the glaciers have worn away this lake bed in ages past? Time alone can tell; and for the dead, time is never wanting...

So in plain English, you dont have a bloody clue

Ive always suspected GHC so far in this game. Theres something slightly different about the way hes playing, and I dont like it.

Seamus Fermanagh on the outside, seems to so far have been the perfect villager. Contributing very well by displaying voting record facts, which in every case link nothing to himself, and getting through most rounds without an ounce of suspicion.

Tough one to call.

Vote: GeneralHankerchief

[GeneralHankerchief]

Two votes? Well, I didn't want to do it this early but you've forced me to.

I am the Detective. And I'm not the only one.

Make sure you have read the prologue in the Godfather thread before reading this. Also, make sure you read this PM bit by bit, and that you have read the entire story before even glancing at what's underneath it.

GeneralHankerchief lived in a small apartment in the center of town. But in the Gameroom, the crime rate was low, which was why it came as a shock to him when an arrow from outside shattered his glass window, flew into the apartment and embedded itself in a wooden dresser.

At first, GH was too shocked to move, but after a while he collected himself and walked over to the arrow. Slightly reluctant and afraid to touch it, he bent over and pulled it out of the dresser, with about 3 vests. The damage was irreparable. "Darn it," GH thought, before noticing there was a note attatched to the arrow. It read:

Call this number:
555-62342

Nothing could have been more important than a note carried by an arrow flying through a person's window and damaging his dresser. He was too angry with the person responsible to think about what he was doing, and he was also curious on how a phone number had eight digits. So he picked up the phone and called.

"Ah, hello GeneralHankerchief. I am glad that you decided to call me."

GH was rather angry at this person, and so he screamed into the receiver. "Who are you? Why did you put an arrow through my window?"

"Soon, a window will not be important. Your town is in grave danger."

"Danger? The GAMEROOM? Nahhhhhhhhh." GH wasn't convinced, beginning to think that this whole thing was a prank.

"Shut up and listen." The voice was dead serious. "Do you know the van that's been driving around recently? The one with 'Vincenzo's Guttering' written on the side? We have reason to believe that this Vincenzo is a high-up figure in La Cosa Nostra, the mafia. We believe that he is trying to recruit villagers to kill off everyone in the town. However, we need an inside man. It will be your job to investigate one villager every day, and you must phone in your results to me."

GH was now somewhat convinced? "Wait, why do I have to phone in to you?"

"Because I'm the only one who can save the town. Don't worry, you're not the only one. I've also recruited Myrddraal for this job. You two should pool your information in order to save the town. Good luck."

With that, the mysterious voice hung up, leaving GeneralHankerchief determined. He would save the town.

Congratulations, GeneralHankerchief. You have been randomly selected for the role of Detective in The Godfather, Part 2!

-PM me now and every night during the game telling me the name of one person you wish to investigate.

-Your partner is Myrddraal.

-The twist is in this game, you and Myrddraal have a choice of how to investigate. You can choose to separately investigate people, which will bring you normal results, or you can investigate the same person together. If you choose to do this, I will tell you whether that person is the Godfather, who is ordinarily immune to Detective investigations. In addition, if you both investigate a Mafia Grunt, I will reveal that role to you too. However, I need PM confirmation from both of you should you decide to pursue this strategy. If one of you dies, than this power goes away.

-You are allowed to reveal yourself (and your partner) to everyone at any time during the game while you are still alive. You cannot reveal to individual people, however. And, as always, you cannot reveal if you are dead.

-You now have until 9:00 PM GMT on Tuesday 24th October to PM me your first investigation.

Good luck,
Silver Rusher

After some discussion Myrddraal and I decided to go the "one investigation per round" route in order to find the Godfather. However, our results have not been the ones we were hoping for.

In the following rounds, we investigated the following:

Round 1: Dutch_guy (innocent)
Round 2: Divine Wind (CoP) (innocent)
Round 3: Ignoramus (innocent)
Round 4: Sasaki Kojiro (just executed) (guilty)
Round 5: Sigurd Fafnesbane (innocent)
Round 6: Proletariat (innocent)

Out of all of these, only Sasaki came up as guilty.

GH and I want to investigate Sasaki this round. Is that allowed even if he's dead?

Yes, that is allowed.

Sasaki is guilty!

Before being executed, he killed UltraWar and Sir Moody. However, he is not the Godfather.

Now, judging by the people that Sasaki has gone after, combined with investigations, here is the status list of people with their status. "I" indicates confirmed innocent, "i" indicates probably innocent, and "D" indicates Detective.

Masy
Csar
GeneralHankerchief (D)
Proletariat (I)
Don Corleone (i)
Seamus Fernanagh
Crazed Rabbit (i)
Cowhead418
Sigurd Fafnesbane (I)
Husar
Divine Wind (I)
Myrddraal (D)

In order to save myself, I'm going to

Unvote: Abstain
Vote: Husar

No offense bud. But I need more time for investigations.

[Proletariat]

Well, I'll be.

I'm willing to believe it, since the only person I know for sure to be innocent is myself, and that there reveal jives with that. Also, Sasaki has acted soo ludicrous this whole game, I'm definately buying what GH is selling.

Guess I'll Vote: Husar for now as well, since I'll be at work for awhile today and won't have too many chances to check in until evening.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Well, well....

That's a horse of a different color.

If Sasaki is guilty, then Crazed Rabbits voting is all on the up-and-up.

Unvote: Crazed Rabbit
Vote: Abstain

Let's hear from the half-man.

We must evaluate this carefully, but if Hanky and Myrdraal's list/role passes the "smell test" then our list of lynchees narrows.

[Husar]

Hmm, let me look up one of my older posts...this here.

While this has some completely flawed logic in it, especially in those last four points, I remember suspecting Seamus Fermanagh for several things and since then he almost convinced me of his innocence, because he was the perfect citizen.
If we now have a look at his voting record facts, he votes for Crazed Rabbit who he thought might be detective and had probably found him to be innocent. In addition, he wishes me good luck while indicating Don, who we all think is innocent, might be Mafia.
Next up is the reasoning for his vote, he simply makes the assumption that Sasaki was innocent and then bases his vote for CR on this.
This is if GH is not lying of course.

There is of course the possibility that GH and Myrddraal are mafia and GH now tried a weird stunt to survive the last rounds.
After all, he votes for me on no basis than wanting to stay alive, which is not assured by lynching me, so I do not really understand the reasoning behind this. He can still be killed by the mafia next night. except if I were the Godfather of course, but I cannot understand the logic because I'm not...whatever.
There is also a possibility of Prole and GH being Mafia because she just bandwagons on his vote, this way they might provide a reason to kill Myrd next round, we should see what he says about this.

The last are only assumptions which I do not (want to) believe but included to not leave anything out, so...

Vote: Seamus Fermanagh

edit: Seamus believes GH and changes his vote...this pushes the balance more towards my secondary suspicions, but I am going to keep my vote for now.

Remember, the mafia are down to the Godfather and one grunt (maybe zero, but I highly doubt this). This means that even if I die, Myrddraal can still get some work done. I am banking on revealing our final cooperative investigation result to you before I am killed in the night.

[Dutch_guy]

I very, very, very much doubt Husar is a mafia grunt. He might be the godfather, but he isn't one of the grunts.

This is, by the way, a nice twist to the story Silver. Isn't it a bit pro town though ? If everything GHC said is true, then it does seem so.
