    It is rather, isn't it?

    Well, with the last tin mafia member ByzantineKnight now dead, all we are left with is tracking down the last of the Barzini's.

    I suppose it's time for some action again:

    Say, Big King Sanctaphrax, what have you been up to lately? Just curious...

    Ah it fits. Redleg placed me in contact with him for an assault on Xiahou as he was working with CountArach for that purpose. Obviously ByzantineKnight was the made and CountArach was the don and they were plotting to kill Xiahou as he was rival mafia. When it was changed to Pindar he agreed too. It is evident that Pindar was not Tin Star and was either town or a member of another mafia. I trusted him though, I have no idea why I didn't abandon him when Redleg (or was it you lugi) told me about CountArach now being a mafia suspect because of his strange reply claiming that he was already targeting, which fits, as dons cannot kill/protect. Damn my stupidity. They were using me or at least they tried too! If ByzantineKnight wasn't GMT +7 then I would have realised as a tin star would have dropped the star at the scene of Pindar's death, luckily he didn't manage to join in.

    Night Ten Summary


    Many were tense, but the most unexpected of things happened…nothing.

    After a long dark couple of weeks, the stars shone again on Fatlington. The air was clear and cold, and the only sound to disturb the night was the relentless susurrus of the surf.


    The next morning, Chief Fermanagh was positively beaming as he made the morning reports on the deceased.


    “We’re winning folks…and I think the tide has turned. Tom_Hagen was either a Made Gangster just like those other thugs. Removing him was an excellent move for our town.”

    “Moreover, we’ve discovered that both of those murdered that evening were mafia gangsters. Pindar was a made gangster with a sinister reputation and ByzantineKnight was what those gansters call a Luca – the special protector of a Don.”

    “You’ve done well, now help end this scourge for good!”

    Fermanagh paused, thinking about his audience a bit. Three faces who should have been there were absent…


    Orb was, at that moment, seated on a northbound train. He was traveling under the name of Leon Spartan. His luggage included several large steamer trunks. He had no plans to return.


    A hundred or so miles to the South – and well outside of the 12-mile limit – a pair of figures stared wistfully behind them as the sea swallowed the wake of the tramp freighter taking them to Havana.


    “There's something Promethean about having a smoke. Manipulating fire, ash and fumes with one's finger tips,” mused Proletariat, staring at the graceful plume of smoke from her cigarette as it rose to be whisked away by the Atlantic winds. “But not all things are manipulated so easily…”

    “True enough, Donna,” said Reenk Roink. “Yet we came so close.”

    “Events turned against us,” said Proletariat with a shrug. “It seemed prudent to shift to Havana. After all, that’s where Charlie is now.”

    “Do you think The Commission is done with Fatlington, Donna Barzini?”

    “For the time being, my Luca, for the time being...”

    OOC

    Game concluded.

    Townie Win.

    Congratulations to all players for a marvelous game! Write-ups will follow in due course. First a List of the Players with roles and events, then discussion.

    Fantastic game to start off my Mafia career. Great fun, beautifully written, & sensibly moderated - WD Seamus.

    Well played Townies - good organisation (Redleg & luigi?) won the day.

    In hindsight, what would have won it for a Mafia family? I think it would have required recruiting the majority of the wiseguys early on, killing townies first, & then using the weight of numbers against the other families.

    Most likely that would of been the better course. If the families would of gotten together to destroy the town - there would of been three deaths each night - with the recruitment of wiseguys - you would have been able to increase the kill numbers after getting some of them made to even more.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    My Memoirs:

    Well, looks like I got the short end of the stick, survival wise, amoung my original family.

    I was the made for the Barzinis, killed GH, and helped in the murder of everyone else killed by the white gloves until my death.

    Anyways:
    We killed people, recruited some, and were going merrily along until GH came out and screwed us over. Thanks.

    The End.

    As Donna Barzini, my goal was to destroy the other families along with the town. There was no way for us to collude. The easiest way for our family to have won would've been to ask GH to put a sock in it.

    Our strong point early on was also our down fall. The five of us banded together for a better Fatlington, and made a pact not to speak of it to anyone at all. Eventually we figured we could trust AtPG, but once CR was killed, we were going down like dominoes. The fact that we somehow got the town to look away from me and Reenk was no easy feat, and some thanks goes to a few non-Barzinis for that, who can come forward if they like.

    We were so steadfast in our exclusivity, which kept us from being betrayed from within (like what happened to the other two families) it was too hard once we started dieing to get any new blood in the late game to try and get some more kills.

    I was pretty frustrated about GH blasting Reenk, CR and me after he was dead (lolz@the town for griping about the same thing that gave them their biggest lead on the Barzinis), but then again, that was when the game became alot of fun. Before that it seemed like we were just cruising to a victory, all of a sudden we were really fighting for it.

    Definately one for the ages, was a really fun few weeks where I was compulsively checking my phone at work to see the latest game posts and PMs

    Definitely a fun game, and masterfully written and run Seamus.

    I think the setup made the game very challenging for the mafia with 2 other families to kill off, plus the entire town and all the detectives getting 2 investigations per turn.

    That's not to say it was totally impossible, hindsight being what it is, I think we could've been a little more choosy in our kills and possibly making some faux attacks against each other during the day phases may have helped as well. Of course, a reveal made things very uncomfortable for us as well. In the end, as is often the case, it came down mostly to luck. If prole hadn't been attacked in round 1 and if we had gotten a lucky kill in on a detective or so, things would've looked at least a little better. Maybe next time.
