Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Alright, now that I'm off work, I'm going to comb through the reports again.

N1: I couldn't find anything missing.

D1: I couldn't find anything missing here either.

N2:

So that is an S and an A respectively.

D2:

So that is an N and an S respectively.

N3:

So that is an N and an I respectively.

S A N S N I

Only two names have those six letters in them.

Sigurd Fafnesbane and Omanes Alexandrapolites who is dead.

I'm pretty sure I found all the missing letters so far. One trick is to go to each night/day summary, hit "quote", and look at all the misspelled words that are underlined in red. A word of warning though, this trick would not have found "Andre". So you still need to read carefully.

I think that counting Day writeups in probably an incorrect move. Leaves S-A-N-I.

A greek resort, a Hindu name for the god Saturn, a name often used in 419 scams...not sure we have anything complete.

Substitution using 8 (for mafia eight) yields A-I-V-Q...but this seems even less helpful.

Yeah but the letters missing on Day 2 are uber-obvious and should not be discounted.

He left the N out of "not" and the S out of "see". I don't see those being accidents. Plus they show up in the .org's automatic red underlined spell checker.

[pevergreen]

If you have that enabled, I dont.

[Privateerkev]

If you have that enabled, I dont.

It's weird. I have it at home (firefox) but not at work (IE).

I have no idea how to turn it on.

But there is a manual spell checker function when you write posts that you can use.

[Csargo]

Firefox has a spell check function. IE does not.

Day 3 of the attack on the Frontroom. Six were gone, four courtesy of the mafia, two by the town's own hand. Shortly that number would rise to three, for sunset and thus the counting of the votes drew near.

The unlucky third lynchee appeared more and more likely to be peverpink, who had committed the critical error of goofing around too much. Apparently, even the barbaric execution of Elite Ferret during the previous day had failed to convince him to wise up and get serious about things. pever was about to pay the ultimate price.

"Kill the jokester! Kill the jokester!"

It was all too familiar. The town had yet to take out their mob clothing, torches, and pitchforks, but the reason that they were going after pever was exactly the same. pever, realizing far too late that he had taken things too far, tried to backpedal and plead with the town to spare him.

"Okay, I admit it! I lied! So what if I wasn't the Detective, I'm still a townie! I'm still with you guys!"

The town wasn't buying it. pever picked up the villagers' bloodlust, exhibiting a sixth sense akin to when certain animals detect fear. Remembering what had happened to EF the night before, he realized his chances of survival remaining among the townspeople weren't good. He scrambled up the execution platform, cowering behind Chief of Police Beirut, once again paralleling the lynching of yesterday.

"All right, look. I know I'm going to be lynched, so-"

"That's right," Beirut interrupted, "You are. I was about to read the tally."

"Everyone knows it's me. Can we just get on with it? I'd prefer a quick death."

"Hold on there, young'un," Beirut said. "Procedure must be honored." He cleared his throat, speaking to the rest of the angry town.

"Gentlemen," he began, "You have chosen to execute Peverpink for crimes of the Frontroom today..."

"peverpink with a lowercase 'p'", the condemned muttered under his breath."

"...now then," Beirut said, finishing up, "He is to die!"

The crowd cheered wildly. An outside observer witnessing this scene might have noted that the villagers of the Frontroom were perhaps too into it, chanting and screaming and calling for engeance. Now, finally, the mob clothes and torches and pitchforks came out, completing the déjà vu.

"peverpink," Beirut boomed. "You are hereby sentenced to death by immolation. If you are religious, now would be a good time to pray."

Looking around, pever noticed the crowd gripping their torches tighter, as if preparing to throw them. "Now, waitaminute," he said, "You're gonna waste your brand new execution platform on me? And what about you? You're here too!"

Beirut chuckled. "Unfortunately for you, only the top of the platform is flammable. And as for me, well... the Chief of Police always has a way out." Pressing a button, a propellor popped out of the top of Beirut's police hat. A second later, he was puttering above the crowd and out of sight, leaving pever to the mercy, or lack thereof, of the crowd.

The immolation was bright enough to illuminate Beirut's way home.

So, a missing V?

I'm not convinced the missing letters are important. Puzzles are fun though. I recall the Godfather two were the bolded words in the writeup turned out to have no significance whatsoever.

[Privateerkev]

D3:

An outside observer witnessing this scene might have noted that the villagers of the Frontroom were perhaps too into it, chanting and screaming and calling for engeance.

That makes it V.

S A N S N I V

Did anyone find a 2nd? I couldn't.

[woad&fangs]

missing a V in vengeance for those paying attention to such things.

edit: too slow I guess
