vote: Connie

**[MAFIA] Bugsy** · 06-23-2011, 11:09

Today seems bandwagon-happy. I'm busy atm, so I'll Vote:Connie - maybe later I have time to read the writeup in detail and so on.

**Visor** · 06-23-2011, 11:20

Connie should have died last round.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-23-2011, 11:36

Claudia's name has been removed from the "Still alive" list. Thanks for the catch!

Yup. Thought so too.

Vote: Connie

Em out the rest of the phase, so im afraid i won't be able to answer any inquiries...

**[MAFIA] Richie** · 06-23-2011, 14:51

Vote: Connie

Shameless bandwagon.
Sometimes its the most effective.

**[MAFIA] Fat Tony** · 06-23-2011, 15:26

I don't think this sort of bandwagon is going to help us.

Vote: Frank

So we have someone else besides Connie with a couple votes. We should try to keep at least two candidates in the running.

**[MAFIA] Vincent** · 06-23-2011, 15:37

vote:Connie The case on her has only gotten stronger.

**[MAFIA] Sonny** · 06-23-2011, 16:21

Scum.

**Earthling** · 06-23-2011, 19:02

Guys, it's a really bad idea to go after Connie. If she is scum, and that's a big if, she'd easily incriminate herself later too, because you must assume she's been playing terribly. We're not learning anything from today's bandwagon otherwise.

None of the recent nightkills were to her advantage, in fact if Connie was scum she was absolutely suicidal, killing off townies who weren't against her for a couple of days when people from yesterday's wagon that WERE against her easily show up again today.

Connie looks like a frustrated townie.

On top of that, the kills look like a major switch up in strategy because we already caught or were close to catching one of the scum. It could be a bluff tactic from someone on no one's radar, that of course is easy, but I really doubt one of the actively suspected people in the past couple days carried out the last couple nights of nightkills. This is either purposeful by the scum because they knew you were after the wrong lynchees so didn't kill more active townies, or they just wanted general confusion as they are lurkers/under the radar themselves, but the kills don't match a desperation measure by Connie or someone like that, it's a bad case.

**[MAFIA] Sonny** · 06-23-2011, 19:14

Yo Earthling-ghost, how are the kills bein a switch in strategy? Serious question.

Here's why, despite the bandwagon bein stupid and useless (yo Vinny, how ya doin hangin out there in scum land?), suspectin Connie ain't:

Its a double edged sword. It gives us less time to get it right while giving a greater chance of getting it right as well as lessens the ability of the mafia to hide. Most people often lynch inactives to clear up the field so im not really sure why she is getting blasted for the idea.

That post there is bein way too sensible for a flighty gal like our Connie. Mask is slippin; she got brains in there somewhere. She want to live, she

oughta put em to use, know what I'm sayin?

An' I still want to know who "she" is, Connie. Only "she" in that conversation, aside of you, was Claudia, but it looks like you talkin about Bugsy. Was Bugsy was gettin the blastin, not Claudia.

**[MAFIA] Johnny** · 06-23-2011, 20:18

So since my target is not alive after all, I'll unvote; vote: Connie

**[MAFIA] Connie** · 06-23-2011, 20:19

So I defended Claudia? Ah no i didnt i simply said she wasn't scum. The again she wasn't since we still had two night kills last night. That tells me we killed the wrong person.

As for bobbys now third consecutive day he has voted for me. Out of what? 5 days....... so for all of those days he had a good solid case for me? No he is gunning for me based off of absolutely nothing. and every single time players follow him. And this is classic follow the wot. Y'all see a wall of text a "case" and decide that he must be right look at how much effort he put into it!!!! When in reality people often say a case is a load of bull. No this one is actually bull and heres why. He attacked my first round vote!!!!! Who does that? Who treats a first round vote seriously? He does the same with my second round vote. Once again who does that? Especially in a game where I unless i screamed in every post that I was the mafia he has no idea I was mafia. First and second round votes are nearly all facetious. Yet the sheepish town follows along this character meekly doing what he suggests to them. For what purpose what makes this guy so trustworthy? He claims he is doing so much for the town yet all he has done is start voting on me without a reason. If you ask me voting early on in the game without any reason but forcing there to be a reason is about as scummy as you can get. So I implore you town think before you vote for once or you will all be led astray by this character.

**[MAFIA] Anne** · 06-23-2011, 22:24

This round contains fail.

**[MAFIA] Angelo** · 06-23-2011, 23:37

The rules clearly state that once one of the Mafia is down the other one gets two night-kills and you know that. This sentence sounds awfully like you want to look as if you didn't even know the game mechanics, thus implying you're innocent.

Tell you what, after you're dead if there's still kills I'll give bobby my vote

I tend to agree with this reasoning. The last kills seem to indicate some alteration with what we've seen up to now, but what that indicates... I'm clueless. In any case, there is such a strong wind against Connie, that whether or not she is actually scum, we ought to get over it.

I therefore vote: [MAFIA] Connie

Off with her head!

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-24-2011, 00:55

Voting closed.

Stand by for the execution.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-24-2011, 01:14

Connie was in serious trouble.

After having narrowly escaped the lynch the previous day, this left her as the clear-cut favorite to receive the death sentence on Day 5. She smoked her trademark cigar - Cuban, of course - and tried to look impassive, realizing that new targets would present themselves as the day went on. They were five days in, after all, and during all five days new targets had popped up. They always did.

Connie puffed on her cigar, trying not to notice that the votes had started to pile up on her and were on the verge of becoming a full-fledged bandwagon.

Connie continued puffing on her cigar, perhaps even chomping on it a bit, as the votes continued to mount to the point where nobody could deny that she was in the process of receiving a good old-fashioned bandwagon.

Connie put away all pretenses of puffing and instead started chomping on her trademark cigar like there was no tomorrow - and for her, this was exactly the case - as the day grew short and the second place candidate was nowhere near her in votes.

Finally, mercifully, Chief of Police JuJuBee called an end to voting, just as Connie had finished her last cigar. Well, at least her timing was perfect in one regard.

"Okay Connie," JuJu said cheerfully, "looks like it's that time. However, I'm going to try something a bit different today. I noticed that you were smoking a lot of cigars while the voting went on today. Now, I don't know if you're aware of this fact, but smoking is bad for you! It causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy. Plus, even if you don't smoke, secondhand smoke will still give you these nasty diseases, and it may even be more potent than if you actually smoke yourself! So don't smoke!"

Connie was nonplussed. "How is this going to help me minutes before I die?"

"Well," JuJu said, "I got a buddy of mine who works in a lab to design this prototype for me." The Chief of Police reached into his pocket and brought out an extremely large cigar. "I call this the SuperSmoker 5000, with all of the latest tobacco-related technology present in this handy, compact form. The SuperSmoker is so powerful, it's designed to pack 50 years of constant smoking at a rate of two packs a day into one single puff. So, Connie, if you would, please try out this wondrous piece of technology for all of us here."

Connie, a bit put off, shrugged. "This had better be some *#%! good tobacco," she muttered, and then took the overly-large cigar from JuJu. After lighting it, she lifted it to her mouth and inhaled.

Her lungs. They were on fire. This was no metaphor either, they were literally on fire. Even though there was absolutely nothing in the lungs or material that the lungs themselves were made of that could catch on fire, somehow this crazy cigar was able to break the laws of physics, at least in regards to combustion. Connie's screams started getting louder and more and more inhuman as the flames spread, and for the first time the villagers could notice that something was wrong, as Connie's shirt was now visibly burning and smoke was pouring out of her mouth, nostrils, ears, and probably other parts too, but nobody could see those.

Eventually the screaming stopped, as Connie no longer had lungs to scream with. She fell to the ground, writhing in pain, her skin turning a violent shade of orange as the fire inside of her spread. Everybody started murmuring in shock. There it was, it was a rumor that everybody had heard about over the years, but now it was undeniably true: Connie, better known as Centurion1, was undergoing spontaneous combustion.

Before long Connie was only a pile of ashes on the execution platform, and JuJuBee was on the phone with his buddy, saying that the SuperSmoker needed some adjusting.

Fredo and Pete have been replaced. Fredo was Greyblades, Pete was a completely inoffensive name. The identities of their replacements will remain a mystery.

I hate all of you. Let's go mafia.

hmm...... maybe if you noticed i was actually clueless enough to create a whole other account before realizing what exactly the alt accounts we were using were. Maybe if you think about it its not so bizarre i didnt notice all that.

Poor lynch and typical lazy town this is a pretty bad case of the laze.

**[MAFIA] Anne** · 06-24-2011, 03:53

Meh, at least there was an attempted case involved. Though the "me too" wagoners did kill discussion off.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-24-2011, 12:15

The lynch scene has now been properly updated.

**Earthling** · 06-24-2011, 22:40

Well I'm thinking Fredo and Pete are real goners, the scum can't allow nearly confirmed Innocents-through-replacements to be hanging around, that would put us at status quo for actual suspects and lynches again though, same as the past couple of days.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-25-2011, 04:06

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. The reason for this quietness was because the mafioso had not revved up his chainsaw yet, a fact that he was about to change.

*BBBBRAPITA BBBBRAPITA BBBBRAPI-BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Salvatore, who was closest to the racket, awoke with a start, turning to open the window and yell out, but then he found out another unpleasant truth a second later - he physically could not move, as being tightly strapped into your bed with roughly an entire roll of duct tape keeping you down would be enough to do that to you. Grimacing, Salvatore wondered who had committed this childish prank on him over the night. Had he voted for anyone in the previous days who had taken it personally? Was it just someone screwing around?

In any case, Salvatore forgot all about the consistent sound of the chainsaw as he tried to shimmy out of his duct tape prison. Despite all of Salvatore's efforts, it had little effect. His hands were his first priority, obviously, and he went to work on them, moving, back and forth, trying desperately yet still deliberately to provide even more of a half an inch of breathing room for his wrists, would be enough for him to get his hands free. If his hands were free, then the rest of the escape would come easier.

Five extremely difficult minutes later, Salvatore finally provided himself enough space where his hands could be of some use to him. Salvatore took a breather, wondering who on earth hated him to much to tie him up like this over the night. It was a pretty elaborate prank, after all -

The house rumbled. Suddenly, Salvatore remembered the chainsaw. Was somebody - was somebody actually trying to cut the house down on him? Stupid stupid stupid, he knew he should have sprung for an actual foundation when he bought the place years ago instead of just buying wooden stilts. But hey, it was a lot cheaper, and the economy was a lot worse back then, and he was looking for a job anyway, and -

*rumble CRASH!!!* The mafioso had finished his work.

There was similar "renovation" work that was happening on the other side of town. Paulie, who lived by the seaside, was also woken by a very loud noise that signified work of the malicious sort being done on his house. Unlike Salvatore, however, Paulie did not have to be meticulously duct taped to his bed in order to for the work to be completed while uninterrupted. For while Salvatore's house was done in by a simple chainsaw, the forces against Paulie's house were three bulldozers, lined up side-by-side, collectively packing enough force to push Paulie's house straight into the sea.

As Paulie, unhurt but in utter shock, paddled around his increasingly-flooding house, trying to make sense of what exactly happened, he noticed a crash through the window. In his rather compact room - which was still open to the sky, thanks to the bulldozers - he finally got an answer in a seal, which swam up to his broken window and entered the "room".

The first thing that Paulie noticed was that the seal, while still cute and adorable, was wearing something odd. It almost seemed like a helmet, perhaps even with a radio transmitter on the top of it. This use of this transmitter had to be practical, as it certainly didn't make the seal animal beauty contest material (if there even *were* beauty contests for seals). The seal was also carrying something. When Paulie stopped dog-paddling (he had never learned how to swim properly), he saw what it was - a bottle of gasoline. The seal emptied it right on him, and then swam away.

Cursing, Paulie tried to struggle away, but it was a losing battle. Not only did his lack of swimming skill hinder him in this effort, but there was also simply too much rubble. The gasoline was not helping things, either. He "swam" for about two minutes, accomplishing nothing aside from tiring himself out. And then, he saw it. Up in the air. A seagull, also wearing one of the helmets with the antenna on it. Carrying a flaming torch. Right above him. Which the seagull dropped. Right on top of -

FOOM.

A few buildings away, the mafioso once again put away his radio-controlled device and walked away, chuckling.

Later that day, Chief of Police JuJuBee gathered everyone into the Frontroom square in order to make an announcement.

"Okay everyone," he said, "So it looks like we have two more deaths today. Salvatore, also known as Ashurnasirpal II, died when his house collapsed on him. Additionally, Paulie, who you know as B_Ray, died when, uh, *his* house collapsed on him and he was lit on fire. By, uh, a seal and a seagull. Yeah, I'm going to have to look into this. In the meantime, you guys all know what to do, so do it!"

Which phase? The night phase?

It's useless to talk at night, here. Naming suspects will tip the mafia on who they should leave alive, and talking about your lynch has not much benefits as we don't know if you were mafia or not.
