Everybody had seemed to have been caught off-guard by the new daily procedure, as if they - and the Frontroom, in particular - had never experienced this sort of thing before. Clearly, the mafia attack was breaking new ground. The result of this, much to Chief of Police JuJuBee's chagrin, was an extremely spread-out vote, with a full 15 out of 34 total villagers receiving votes. Taking out his pocket calculator - you see, JuJuBee used to be quite A Nerd - the Chief quickly surmised that this was over 44%! In addition to this total, there was a tie vote, with the two candidates for the lynch having received a whopping three votes each.
The cases on the lucky two men, Luciano and Pedro, were as follows: For Luciano, that he shared a name with one of the most successful mafiosi in history: Lucky Luciano, who abolished the title of "capo di tutti capi" forever and set up the Mafia Commission in New York that still exists to this day. For Pedro, it seemed that a number of villagers were amused by the combination of the voting system they were currently under and his name, which thus gave them an opportunity to quote from a popular, quirky, cult film of the previous decade in "Napoleon Dynamite". Clearly these cases both had equal merit.
Due to the extended round since there had to be a tiebreaker, both men got to make defenses for themselves:
Luciano: "Wait a minute, the fact that I share a name with Lucky Luciano has nothing to do with my guilt! I'm not even related to the guy! Most of the people in our town could have that same connection! What about Chickenman? He shares a nickname with Phil "Chickenman" Testa, and was boss of the Philadelphia crime family for a year before he got blew up by a nail bomb! They share the same name, but I doubt any of you think *he's* guilty! Come on, now!"
Pedro: "Seriously, guys? You're going to do this? Aw - aw, come on! I hate 'Napoleon Dynamite' so much. It's not even a good movie!"
At this last defense, the crowd roared in outrage, and the votes started to absolutely flood in Pedro's way. JuJuBee had to use all of his wits and equipment to keep the villagers at bay as they screamed for blood for besmirching the good name of Napoleon Dynamite. Pedro, realizing that he had misspoke and recognizing that it was probably too late to take it back, instead took the opportunity to keep harping on about the movie that had sealed his fate.
"No, seriously, it isn't! Nothing happens for an hour and a half! And then he what, he goes and dances, and then everything's magically okay? But wait, people say the movie isn't about plot anyway, it's about the, you know, the quirky moments! It's 90 minutes of people standing around and being really awkward, that's all! Awkward isn't quirky!!! You all got spoon-fed into believing that it was a good movie because at some point down the line the media told you that it was trendy to like this movie! It's not actually that good, people!"
This went on for another couple of minutes before JuJuBee finally relented and allowed the crowd to literally tear Pedro, also known as Jolt, apart. Instead of trying to calm them down and make an inspirational speech about hopefully they had lynched one and maybe after tomorrow, they would be done with this affair, JuJu just slinked away back to his office, praying that the riot wouldn't get too out of hand and ordering a Napoleon Dynamite poster off the internet in case they tried to storm his office in the future.
