Mafia VII: Shadows of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Tiberius of the Drake]

After examining Cr post after my last one, its seems to me that he is very, very scummy

Unvote:shlin28,Vote:CR

[woad&fangs]

Well it's tied up at one vote a piece with Kommodus, Schlin, CR, and Roadkill. Should we leave it at a tie to extend the round and promote dicussion or should I vote for one of them and end the round?

[Xiahou]

Ambiguous again. Do you want to see your "fellow townies" dead?

Just say "I, crazed rabbit, swear I am not mafia"...

No, I am not in the mafia

That sounds pretty unambiguous to me. If he ever decides to lie, he could probably coast to an easy victory like that, but such a ploy would only ever work once and he'd burn up all his credibility in the process.

[woad&fangs]

I believe the current argument is over what CR swears to be true. Does he swear that he is not in the mafia or does he swear the second part of his post to be true.

So CR do you swear that you are not in the mafia?
I want you to respond with a "I swear I am" or a "I swear I am not". Nothing else.

[Csargo]

Vote:woad&fangs Your posts seem extremely neutral. I don't think that's a good sign.

[woad&fangs]

In just this round or the game as a whole?

[Csargo]

Your last couple of posts

[woad&fangs]

It took you 8 minutes to say that? What, were you looking for some long forgotten post I made at the beginning of the game to accuse me with?vote: Ichigo Kommodus already stated that Holmes isn't good at analyzing you. Plus you might have been crazy enough to kill Sasaki.

Edit: Oooh, what were you searching for?

Reading posts, scummy, why do you that is? That's some good reasoning you got there.

My dignity...

All of your posts seem to be cold and calculated. I'm not a fan of such things. Scummy me thinks.

[woad&fangs]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry. Unvote: Ichigo I don't have anything to go on accept the Kommodus & CR exchange. Until CR has a chance to respond again I don't want to lynch him and the only evidence against Kommodus is CR.

Edit: Cold and Calculated? I'm to tired to make calculated posts tonight. What's funny is that I also think neutrality is extremely scummy.

Edit again: Woo!!! 1000 posts in this thread once Ichi replies again

[Csargo]

Whoa 180 turn we're talking about you here not Kommo or CR. I think you're guilty, and your making it so much easier to make a case against you...

Not tonight your previous posts from earlier rounds. I guess Stig was right about you. I guess the change in your style was because you're mafia it makes sense.

[woad&fangs]

*sigh*I already explained my change in style several times. School started for me so my time has been limited and I've been trying to be less chaotic because Chaos helps the mafia. Il Padrino and The Brotherhood proved that.

Edit: ooh, you're replying, I wonder what you're going to say.

[Csargo]

You could be lieing. Chaos? What do you think I am? Chaos is my best weapon I've used it well, and caught many mafioso that way. Occam's Razor FTW!!!

[Tiberius of the Drake]

wats the updated tally?

[woad&fangs]

Yeah, and I like your style of chaos but my style of chaos just makes the town waste a vote on me when I'm protown .

Edit: This little volley between the two of us has pretty much convinced me that your a townie. I guess my chaos actually did help out. I'm logging off. TTFN

I piss many people off.

I STILL THINK YOUR QUILTY!!!!

[GeneralHankerchief]

wats the updated tally?

A billion people each have one vote. This is of course unofficial as I don't have the time right now to go through the round.

If this persists then I'll just have to keep voting indefinitely. No point in me using my usual tie system when it's a five-way tie.

[Tratorix]

Good, this tie will buy us more time. I'll abstain for now, for that reason.

I agree that CRs post seemed a bit... open to interpretation. The whole part about hating the mafia and their evil ways seemed stuck in to pad out the post and draw away suspicion. I want to see him simply say "I am not in the mafia" and swear it's true.

[CountArach]

FoS: W&F - He was challenged on one minor thing and instantly gave in to Ichigo. Kommodus - What does Holmes say about him?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Okay, fine.

I hate the mafia and all their evil acts, I want to see the mafia dead, and I swear this to be true.

I, Crazed Rabbit, swear I am not in the mafia.

I swear all this to be true.

FYI, usually when I do swear that I am not mafia I include swearing that I wish the mafia to die. That is not unusual.

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. This was no longer due to the fact that the villagers were staying in their homes; this was simply due to the fact that there was now a lack of villagers to make noise.

Tran was one of the few villagers left. He woke up, opened his windowshade, and groaned. It was a beautiful September day, perfect for tending to his garden. Obviously going outside was a serious risk but he figured that judging by the mafia's effiency so far that it wouldn't matter. Besides, the weather was just too nice to pass up.

After about thirty minutes or so of working he began to relax, something he hadn't been able to do in several days. His garden, the plants, the medicinal herbs he was growing, they all calmed him. He was glad of this. He gradually became more engrossed in his garden and the beauty of the day rather than staying on the alert for, say, potential intruders.

Mr. A.F.I.A. observed this entire process from afar, carefully watching Tran's facial expressions. The speed and the jerkiness in which he moved would tell him a lot. Finally, whem his prey exhibited no noticeable signs of paranoia, he took that as a ready sign. He moved in.

It was a quick job. He entered Tran's property, disabled the home security system (he had read up on it the previous night) and made his way to the backyard and the garden.

Tran didn't even notice. Silently grinning, the mafioso levelled his shotgun and blasted Tran in the back. This was getting easier every day. Well, aside from the pie thing, anyway.

He searched the garden, job clearly not finished yet. Finding what he was looking for, he grabbed several of the medicinal herbs being grown, stuffed them into a bag, and departed. Clockwork.

Later that day, Mr. Arlen Frederick Ivanovich Ace was back at the grave of Sigurd Fafnesbane, this time picking a rose that a townie had conveniently left there after the killings yesterday. He stared at it, amazed at the foolishness of it all. The town was supposed to mourn after the bloodbath was done.

And he was pretty certain that he wasn't done yet.

He headed into another familiar location, the bar which proved to be a favorite poisoning spot. Only one patron was present, the barman evidently having fled town or not bothered to come in today. sapi, clothed in his usual black, stared as he saw the new customer for a second, and then resumed drinking his Appletini in a "very manly way."

The mafioso sat down and paused for a minute. Finally, with sapi trying to look conspicuous with his Appletini, he spoke up. "Where's the barman?"

"Dunno," said sapi. "Guess it doesn't matter, anyways. The mafia seem to be using a shotgun now, maybe they're out of poison."

"Mmm." Mr. Arlen Frederick Ivanovich Ace nodded politely. "So, I guess you're the bartender now? I don't know how to work any of this fancy machinery, and you're sitting there with a nice Appletini."

"It's easy to learn," said sapi, grimacing slightly. He got up and walked behind the bar. "Here, I can show you, and then we can each make as many drinks as we want and drown our sorrows in alcohol. Name your poison."

"How ironic," the mafioso thought silently. "Beer me," he said out loud. sapi nodded and turned around, adjusting the taps. The mafioso quickly spit into sapi's Appletini. "Out of poison?" he said. "I *am* the poison, buddy."

"What was that?"

"Oh," said the mafioso, fumbling, "I said I'll probably drink this place dry by tonight. C'mon, hurry up and drink it dry with me."

"Sounds good to me," sapi said, topping off the mafioso's mug. They chinked their glasses together and each drank. In a matter of seconds sapi was down on the floor, writhing. In another matter of seconds he was motionless.

"Well, that was easy," he said. "I'm lucky it didn't do that to me that quickly." He took out a knife and cut out a patch from sapi's black robes. He was just about to exit the bar when he felt a sharp stab of pain spread throughout his entire body. Everything went black.

Later that day, Chief of Police gathered all of the remaining villagers into the town square in order to make an announcement.

"Gentlemen," he began, "...yeah. I'm tired of repeating myself. You all know why we're here, so let's get to it, shall we?"

Ah, well, at least a little can be read into those kill descriptions, as with the lynches.

Anyway, Kommo has long since convinced me of his innocence; so I'd like to see what Holmes says about the players who are still alive, but that he has not yet analysed.

[Kagemusha]

I dont think CR is guilty. I think the remaining mafioso or ´s will be found from the trio of Shlin,W&F and SBR. If CR would be mafia, he wouldnt be so lazy to post his kills continuosly late. My bet is still on Shlin, its very easy to hide under Sigurd´s reasoning.

[Stig]

Vote: W&F, as I said, I've been waiting for someone to post, and he can't make himself less suspicious (this all combined with last rounds)

[pevergreen]

Go easier on CR. I am very for implamentation of a rule against using something like that against him.

I have a record like his, just not as long or recognized.

As to who is what. Im waiting for Holmes. ToftheD,W&F seem to be the over-enthusiatic townies. ROADKILL - SCUMMY. Roadkill started mafia here much the same as Sarathos or Beefy. Always looked scummy, he has since learned to not appear scummy. but now he has. Definite lynch.

I read Roadkill's posts last night nothing really caught my eye scum wise.

[Kommodus]

As if CR's initial claim wasn't unambiguous enough. You guys seem to forget the history he and I have. In Attack of the MacSobers, I knew he was guilty because of the ambiguosity of his claim; Andres can confirm this. I know him well enough to know that this time, his first claim was completely sound.

Therefore, FoS: RoadKill. Why are you using such faulty logic?

I'm not sure about W&F.

The Statistics: He's only got two prior games here to compare, and was innocent in both. His statistical behavior falls somewhere between the two in activity levels, except that his posting frequency is up considerably. He falls within the range considered "average mafia behavior", but this is not a particularly relevant metric.

The Review: A big part of Holmes, of course, is simply extracting the entire post history for someone and reviewing it for anomalies. When I do this for W&F, I get the feeling that he's innocent. I could be deceived in this, but for now I simply don't think he's the mafioso.

[Csargo]

You can't be serious Kommo. From what I read his posts were cold and calculated nothing like a townie would post.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting will be temporarily suspended while I make a tally.

If it's a tie then I'll resume voting. If not then I'll post the execution.

[GeneralHankerchief]

...and with a grand total of two votes, woad&fangs takes it!

Voting is now officially closed. I have some things to do before the execution is put up.

[Stig]

I think we will soon see that we were right (or not, as I don't think we've got all the mafia yet)
