Re: Mental Institution mini-mafia
The Bethlam Insane Asylum was a small building, with only a few patients and staff. The nearest village was 20 miles away by a poor and little traveled road, so it was very peaceful.
Towards the evening of the 5th of February, it began to snow. In the morning, the staff and inmates of the asylum were greeted with mounds of snow in every direction:
The staff realized that they would be cut off from the outside world for some time, but they had plenty of food so they were not worried. Not yet.
The first sign of something amiss was when the head doctor tried to phone the village and discovered that the phone line was out. He decided that a snow laden branch must have snapped the line. That was when he heard the screaming. The dead body of the nurse had been found at the top of the stairs--and at the bottom of the stairs. The inmates and staff are all in panic. The head doctor immediately realizes that at least one of his patients is far more unstable than was previously thought. But which one? He reasons that the patients are more likely to know which one of them is dangerous than the staff, but the staff is better able to make judgement calls. In the end he decides that the inmates and the staff will vote on who they think is the killer and whoever receives the most votes will be given a lethal injection (the head doctor is not too sane himself). When the killing stops they will they are safe. His staff protests but he will hear nothing off it. Fearing reprisal from their former patients they disguise themselves as inmates and join the others in the cafeteria. The head doctor places a box on the table and announces that everyones votes must be placed in the box.
"Good Luck!" he says, and then barricades himself in his office.
With 12 alive, it's 5 to lynch. Begin voting.
