Capo de Tutti Capi [Concluded]

[The Stranger]

I would presume by posting that he is mafia. But hes not retarded enough to post that, so you think he isnt mafia. But he would also have come to that conclusion, posting it so it looks like he isnt mafia and mafia at the same time.

(oh, recruit me!)

you want to be recruited?

Night One Wrap Up


Sasaki Kojiro walked home through a drizzle of sleet after a quiet dinner at a local café/diner. The food had been good, the wine had imparted just a bit of a pleasant glow. He looked up as the big Packard rounded the corner, splashing water and slush onto the folks waiting for the light to change.

He was in the middle of the block, standing there as the Packard cruised closer, windows dropping and shotgun muzzles coming into view.

A jolt of adrenaline gave him speed – but there was nowhere to go!

Then the even more unexpected happened. As the Packard slowed, two figures in trench coats and hats leaped out coming, seemingly, from nowhere. One got between Sasaki and the Packard, took a shotgun blast in the gut and went down. The second swept Sasaki’s feet out from under him, knocking him flat and stunning him…just as the steel doors of the loading elevator for the café snapped up – absorbing the shotgun blasts that didn’t go over the now-prone Sasaki. The second figure never stopped moving, rolling through Sasaki’s legs, into the slush of the gutter and then getting up and sprinting into the shadows across the street.

The Packard stopped suddenly, an arm sticking out from inside lobbing a grenade back at the still stunned Sasaki. A third figure swept out of the shadows, whipping a Louisville Slugger around to bat the grenade back toward the Packard. It exploded in mid-air, doing no harm except to the paint. With sirens already closing, the hit team in the Packard sped off into the night. By the time Sasaki got groggily to his feet, all three of his masked saviors had disappeared….one leaving a trail of blood. Sasaki warily returned home – sleep no longer an option.

Across town, Proletariat was pulling out the key to the front door of her Brownstone, when a shadow broke away from the alley between her home and the neighbors place – a cloaked shadow with a very long knife! She dropped her keys in alarm as the shadow rushed forward, bracing herself against her door for a desperate struggle – only to have the door open quickly behind her. She fell through the doorway to safety as her would-be attacker rushed at her – only to be met with a door slamming into his face. A cry of pain was following by the sound of retreating footsteps fading into the dark and rain. Prole’ looked at the now-locked door…she was virtually certain she’d locked it as she left. Adrenaline still giving her the shakes, Proletariat decided she would open that nice Red after all. For her too it would be a restless night.

GeneralHankerchief, by contrast, worked late (nothing exciting) and then went home and slept well – and too deeply. He never heard the soft crack as the window of his back door was broken to get to the lock. Nor did he hear the feet on the stairs or the gentle tiptoeing across his bedroom’s Persian Rug. He heard the gentle <> of the silencer only faintly, and only very briefly. Then he heard nothing again. When Seamus’ micks swung by to take him to the morning meeting, they found him dead with a note pinned to his pillow. On the way to report in they managed to lose the note.

Chief Fermanagh announced the grim news of the evening’s events and quietly turned over the lynch-voting to Beirut.

He walked away silently, still shaking his head and muttering…

“Just doesn’t seem like it’d be one gang….”

Lynch Votes for Day Two due 1400 HRS EST 1/1

Investigation Results by PM shortly.

Sasaki: Please append to the info thread....when your pulse drops a bit.

[HughTower]

A couple of nice dodges there it appears.....and mafia dons get protection from their lucas, do they? Unless, protection was organised for them in advance, which would appear just to be too uncannily accurate to be true.

So from the description of the attempts (3 vs 3, and 1 vs 1), I'm going to surmise that Prole was either protected by a Luca or a Doctor, & Sasaki was protected by friendly townies. So, on the balance of this (v. tenuous) evidence, & to jostle things up a little,

Vote: Proletariat

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Hint:

PM results are easier to send to you if your PM box is not FULL TO THE POINT OF CHOKING OFF MY MESSAGE.

[Orb]

Hm. I'm not surprised that Sasaki was a) protected and b) attacked.
Nor am I amazed that our beloved hankerchief was attacked.

Proletariat could have survived for quite a few reasons. I'll wait for some more discussion before I decide a vote.

[Csargo]

The attacks on Sasaki and GH are really strange. Why would you try to kill two players that will have a lot of suspicion on them in later rounds. The attempted kills and kill baffle me.

Vote:Abstain

[Masy]

I have absolutely no suspicions at this time, and have no idea who to vote for. It will take me some time to get used to the amount of detail in this game

Vote: Abstain

Well you will kill 2 of the veterans of the game really. I'm new so I might be wrong, but from what I've read they seem the veterans and the "best" players in the game, you want to win, why not take the good players out early on, makes things easier for you


Vote: Abstain

Vote: Abstain

Yes, but veteran players bring more suspicion on themselves. Especially Sasaki I think someone new tried to kill Sasaki.

I have heard from various sources that GH was a pro-town role, which may mean that pro-mafia people may have got wind of it too. I'm not sure how much information on other players Seamus gives in the introductory PMs, and I suspect he wouldn't say even if I asked.

However, to kick off discussions, I will express my suspicions about you, Ichigo. In post #169, you encouraged us to select you as Director, warning us about Beirut's axe in the back. Now since Beirut's axe has no bearing on this game, I have to say this is classic meatballing. Combined with your eagerness to get an unkillable role, I would say you are mafia, possibly even a Don, looking for safety from other gangs while orchestrating the discussion. What says you to this?

Edit: Hyperlinking post #169.

[Crazed Rabbit]

If GH was a pro-town role, and if he shared that info with some people, perhaps he could reveal who he talked to.

That might give us an idea of where to begin. Of course, those he talked to might have talked themselves.

Pannonion has a point about Ichigo's 'meatballing', but it doesn't seem that likely to me that Ichigo is mafia.

I think abstaining for now is good, but we probably want to vote this round due to the odds of lynching various roles.

That could be used against any of the other players that voted for themselves. Come up with some better reasons please I'de like to hear them.

[Kralizec]

So from the description of the attempts (3 vs 3, and 1 vs 1), I'm going to surmise that Prole was either protected by a Luca or a Doctor, & Sasaki was protected by friendly townies.

Murder attempts can also fail because not enough PMs were sent to make it happen.
I have no idea who to blame for this...if everybody abstains resulting in 0 votes, does the director have the authority to execute everybody?
