I would like to thank my henchmen for their participation and inspiration. I would like to thank the townies for not participating too much and thank you Proletariat for your support. You are a part of the winning team all though I mistakenly killed you. BTW, according to your PM I shouldn’t be able to have killed you. But since the doctor was gone, Sasaki could probably not keep you alive.
A little write-up with a mafia perspective:

The memoirs of a Godfather
Chapter 2
Well, well, I was picked as the Godfather again and my partners in crime were AggonyDuck and EMFM. We established our means of communication and MSN seemed to be best. It was AggonyDuck who PM’ed our first kills since he was in invisibility mode and I was not.
Round 1
We were chatting away on MSN keeping an eye on the thread, discussing methods of killing when Drisos claimed his innocence. He became the obvious target. We wanted to lay a red herring in our kills picking the katana kill. Aggony had some connections with both Divine Wind and Kagemusha from the STW period and we wanted people to think in that direction. We were joking around and Tinky Winky came up. I can’t remember who brought up the idea in the first place, but we decided to use the famous TV character as our henchman. Unfortunately our main opponent and partner in crime were a little innovative himself and Tinky Winky was put in the shade of the Cucumber man.
It seemed like MRD was the main suspect and I didn’t have to involve myself in the discussion. Then Reeink Roink goes ahead and makes it obvious that he is the Villain with his “anyone who votes me will be shot” line. He is a threat to us and needed to go. The Reeinkmaister starts gathering votes with Csar and Husar voting for him. We had already decided to cast our votes on different players to avoid getting a voting pattern. Aggony voted for Reeink Roink and that was a mistake that would cost him his life next night. EMFM cast his vote on Csar who was lynched. It bode ill for the mafia next round. All though the logical thing for a vigilante was to not kill someone he proceeded to retaliate against one of his accusers. Csar also confessed of being the Doctor.
Round 2
We knew that the Reeinkmaister was the vigilante and he became our target. We sent EMFM to do the kill. AggonyDuck sent the PM to Sasaki and we waited in anticipation. Would the Reeinkmaister do the honourable thing and not kill a probable townie? Nope… Aggony went down with a bullet in his head and surprise, surprise; my other henchman got whacked by the Cucumber man. I was again alone. How could I win this game now? Oh.. in the PM from Sasaki, he mentioned that I was night killable and that meant I could get killed by our Serial killer.
People started throwing votes left and right but it was Discovery1 who got the most.
Round 3
I was left to my own devices but kept in contact with my henchmen. We had not really a plan for our kills since we worked side by side with the Serial killer. We tried to figure out who he would kill next and tried to avoid picking the same target.
Orb seemed to want out by trying to vote for himself. He became our next target. I wrote up the kill and Pm’ed Sasaki. Again the Cucumber man put me in the shadow with his long write up and funny one-liners. Oh well, at least MRD got the blame for it all. It seemed MRD was the lynch candidate but at the end Silver Rusher took the fall. Not a lot of voting this round and this could just be my break. If people stayed away from the game I could pull it off. I would just be one of the players not too interested in this particular game; pulling a Kagemusha style mafia win.
Round 4
From the request by my henchman AggonyDuck I went after Craterus. Aggony wanted to include the red bag of Tinky Winky and suggested the bomb inside it. I remembered the episode where Tinky Winky put all sorts of stuff in his hand bag (yeah, I have two little girls you know and that means a father must sit down an watch the programs his kids are interested in) and hence the scooter in the bag.
I was a little surprised to see it was only our kill that got posted. Was Silver the Serial killer? Again MRD got the blame and this time he was promptly lynched with only three voting altogether. It seemed I could pull this off yet. That is, if the participation continued to be of such a meagre degree.
Round 5
It was time for Proletariat to go. Aggony had mentioned her earlier but I was a little reluctant. Something to do about killing a lady I guess. She had mentioned in the chat about other roles than what was listed in the introduction of the game without being specific. I got a little worried and took no chances of there being other pro-townie roles in the game still. I wrote up the kill thinking that the Cucumber man was gone. Just to make a little confusion. I also wrote the kill intentionally confusing the gender. Originally there were only he and him. I guess Sasaki took the liberty of changing it… all though not all of it. Lo and behold, the serial killer was still alive, but we had switched roles. I did the long write ups and he did the short ones. As it turns out we were both non-native English speakers and hence Silver was on the right track.
A lot of small theories were put forward, but the strongest was dosed down (language thing) and BKS a native English speaker drew the longest straw.
Round 6
I decided to put up the charade of the switched roles giving the serial killer a little competition on his write-up skills. The serial killer mentioned Tinky Winky and effectively made the switch believable. I introduced another vegetable killer to make it obvious who my next kill would be. It seemed that my next kill got voted for and I chuckled a little. Divine Wind mentioned bills in his kill and Husar started to get too close at pointing his finger at me. I had to get involved or I wouldn’t survive. GH also claimed the Detective role in this round and I knew as a mafia that he was speaking the truth. My target for this round was Divine Wind and little did I know that he was the serial killer. My kill description did mention that if Divine Wind was targeted the killings would stop and it was fitting that he was killed by his own invention.
GH suspected me but put a vote on Dutch_guy who I thought was the serial killer, especially after mentioning several times that Tinky Winky was still out there. I voted doc_bean to build up a little suspicion on him for a later round. Dutch_guy got lynched and I had written my kill description already.
Round 7
It was time to get Tinky Winky back on the scene and I killed my carrot man and took Crazed Rabbit out in the same go. During the game Divine Wind made references to songs by Queen e.g. “another on bites the dust” and I got a little inspired and continued this with “there can be only one”. There was also a film that queen made the soundtrack to: “Highlander” one of my favourite films when I grew up. I bet some of you can see the connection here.
GH voted for me and I was in trouble. The classical mafia mistake here is to retaliate and vote for the one who voted for you. I could have bandwagoned GH when doc_bean voted for him but in stead I turned around and built a little RT (Relationship of Trust) believing GH was the Detective and voted for the only other suspect doc_bean. I was in luck… Silver supported me in this and all though I was a little worried that people might start to think he could be one of my henchmen I kept my peace. Cowhead was the one I was uncertain about. It was him I tricked so badly in my last game as Godfather. Would I be able to fool him another time? GH came to my rescue and unvoted me and voted for doc_bean. I had no votes, GH had one and doc_bean had 2. No matter what Cowhead voted I would win. Thank you GH. I was going to write a story for the final two kills but I had no time yesterday and Sasaki just finished the game like he did. I was going to write about GH being in the Masonic temple initiating Cowhead as a new mason. Tinky Winky would have used a chainsaw to break down the massive oak doors and fatally wounded GH and Cowhead. Tinky Winky would then take off his mask and revealed himself as Sigurd the Dragonslayer; on a mission to cleanse the town of demonic practises. The ability of speaking with the dead (with reference to Silver) was a clear demonic practise.
