With fifteen townspeople left (meaning over 20 had already fallen victim, and in such a short time too), there was precious little space to hide, both literally and figuratively. Since there were far fewer people to analyze, one of the few remaining guarantees to all of the townspeople was that they *would* be analyzed, sooner or later. For the eternal paradox was that even though the list of people to analyze was ever-shrinking, the amount of analysts always seemed to remain the same.
Today, it was Vincent's turn to be analyzed. And he knew the result beforehand.
This was the way things worked nowadays. People would deliver a case on a single target. That case and that target would become the primary focus of discussion for the day. Oh sure, there may be sub-discussions going on, but these were usually ignored, shunted off to the side. Perhaps the sub-discussions might one day rise to the forefront, perhaps not. In the meantime, the main discussion continued. Out of an obligatory sense of "making [the target] squirm, a few votes were placed on the target, in this case Vincent. Sometimes the target would say a few things, sometimes not. In this case, Vincent, as he walked up to the execution platform, couldn't even remember if he had bothered to mount a defense or not. After all, the ending was predetermined. How they had gotten there was inconsequential.
After the initial case had been made and the votes started to pile up (and maybe after Vincent had made a hypothetical initial defense) the inevitable backlash would start to pop up. This was the one thing that Vincent had been counting on to save him from his sentence. Far more effective than the secondary discussions or spirited defenses, sometimes the backlash would be good enough to shift the voting towards the secondary target for the day, sometimes not. The townspeople, it seemed, were always more keen to follow a presumably-neutral third party rather than one of the two belligerents involved for the day.
Today, however, the inevitable backlash just didn't have enough gas. Vincent went down by a margin of two votes over his nearest competition and prepared for the execution. Today's method of sentencing would at least be memorable for the people watching it: he would get a pot of molten gold poured on his head ("I saw it on a TV show recently and it looked cool," Chief of Police JuJuBee had said, almost apologetically). Silently watching over the dwindling crowd of fourteen, Vincent, better known as autolycus, seemed, if not at peace with himself, at least somewhat satisfied that nothing too out-of-the-ordinary had happened this today.
For the people of the Kingdom of Peace and Love, this was all in a now-usual day's work.

I'm annoyed to receive votes from people who won't bother saying why they do so.
And only seven players voting out of fifteen is pathetic. Voting so far, for the whole game:
Seven votes (didn't miss one)
Angelo
Bobby
Sonny
Six votes (missed only one)
Anne
Johnny
Five votes (missed 2)
Bruno
Fat Tony
Four votes (missed 3)
Bertha
Luigi
Richie
Three votes (missed 4)
[nobody]
Two votes (missed 5 !!)
Emilio
Giorgio
Replacements
Fredo (missed two votes in two days)
Pete (one vote in two days)
Note: I'm counting abstains as not voting.
Whoever missed two-three votes is going to get whacked.....would be too bold to kill Sonny.![]()
I'm not the Pizzaguy, and even if I were, that's no reason to murder me and thereby prove me innocent. I've got such wonderful heat on me from the White_Eyes looking up my skirt and saying I'm a dirty girl. It makes me feel naked and exposed.
Why would the "mafia"(Which could be you) kill you off?![]()
The OH-SO-GOOD lynch bait argument, that everybody seems to apply to you, works here.
And you love it when I talk dirty.![]()
Gah, I forgot to open Chrome and vote! I would have gone with Luigi again though, so it wouldn't have changed much in terms of the lynch.
Gosh Pizza, you sure suck at this.![]()
Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. The mafioso had once again gotten an early start to the day's proceedings, picking up a few bottles of a certain flavored spray and spreading around his target's house, specifically his target. By the time this person would wake up, the mafioso would be long gone.
Bobby woke up, rubbing his eyes. The first thing he noticed was the smell. The usual oh-so-pleasant morning aroma of halitosis whenever he exhaled was replaced by something far more pleasing, if a bit out of place: peanuts. For some unconscious reason Bobby felt like going to the circus, or perhaps attending a baseball game. Nonetheless, Bobby made his way to the kitchen to prepare himself a nice peanut butter and jelly sand - no, that was foolish. Who ate PB and Js for breakfast, anyway? No, Bobby would make himself a nice omelet, or perhaps bacon and eggs - slathered in some peanut butter, perhaps - no!
Bobby's somewhat amusing internal monologue was interrupted by a squirrel hopping onto the kitchen table, staring at Bobby intently.
"Oh *#%!" Bobby muttered to himself, realizing the implications in an instant. Bobby, who after all had been fairly active in the voting of days past, had studied the killings, particularly the most recent ones. He knew about the animals, about the spray. Three more squirrels entering Bobby's kitchen only confirmed things.
He would not stick around like the others, only realizing too late. Bobby immediately dropped everything he was doing and ran for the door. To his credit, Bobby was just about to get in his car and shut the door before the horde of hungry squirrels overcame him.
Across town, Pete had managed to make it into his car without incident, seeing as he had not been sprayed with a massive amount of squirrel-attractor. However, the problem for Pete, unfortunately, was what happened after he got in his car.
Somehow, Pete's car had gotten hooked up to a tow truck while he was still driving it. Pete still wasn't sure of the exact specifics of this action, but he did know that a) it happened, and b) his car was now completely at the tow truck's mercy. Pete, after trying every manageable out that he could think of, embraced his predicament for the time being and instead of trying to resist, decided to make the best of his situation and turned up the radio so that he could at least listen to some nice music.
However, the mafioso wouldn't even allow that, pressing a button on his radio controller that changed the song that Pete was listening to.
Pete, utterly defeated, started screaming. The mafioso in his tow truck drove around aimlessly for about 20 minutes, allowing the song to be repeated over and over and over. Finally, the mafioso had decided that enough was enough, and swung the tow truck around suddenly. This unexpected movement finally allowed Pete's car to be unlatched from the tow truck, but the problem was that it now went flying... right through the Chief of Police's office.
The office, as one might imagine, was wrecked. There was twisted metal and broken glass everywhere - the broken glass from both the windows and, unfortunately, JuJuBee's ruined Judy Garland pictures. Further complicating things was the fact that Pete was now bleeding out, being having been impaled on a golden mini-obelisk also present in the office. Ironically enough, the obelisk was actually a trophy that JuJu had received last year in recognition of having the fewest impalings in the state the previous year.
"I've been obelisk'd!" Pete said with his dying breath, with "It's A Small World" playing in his brain as he expired.
Later that day, Chief of Police JuJuBee gathered everyone into the Frontroom square in order to make an announcement.
Well, he would have, had JuJu been able to find his voice. Disconsolate beyond belief over the wrecking of his office, he just used sign language to tell everyone that Bobby was Romanic and Pete was Secura.
WOG Warning: Emilio.

The squirrels did it!!
Ah, well, that's a good thing that I died. I was attracting votes, now I won't.
I'm still liking my case on Bruno, and since I am confirmed Town, for being killed at night, perhaps people should consider lynching him.![]()
I never had much chance of survival being a replacement player, surprised I survived a single round really; I can't really help much, as I was only just getting into the game, but I think Earthling's made some decent arguments so far, Luigi is still a decent bet.

Day 6- Bugsy: 5 (Luigi, Sonny, Angelo, Bobby, Richie)
Day 7- Vincent: 4 (Sonny, Angelo, Anne, Johnny)
The only one ever to vote for Angelo was someone who was lynched, and that same someone was someone that Angelo spared from death 2 rounds afterward by voting together with Angelo.... Bugsy. Bugsy is a possible mafioso.
Regardless, he's not been pressured, and he's wagoned almost everyone who has been lynched. He should have been dead a long time ago, if he were such a voting threat to the scumbags.
Don't worry about it, this is mafia, we're wrong most of the time. Also, I didn't mean anything bad by my comments on your play style. You're not known to make a lot of cases, that's all, and I would have considered this if I knew who you were. Features of an anonymous game, I guess.![]()

OMGUS vote:PizzaAnne
I really should have and every morning I wonder why I'm still alive while I exchange the batteries on my remote controller... oh...
Nah, seriously, I'm not scum and what you're pointing out might be exactly why they left me alive until now... our scum are lurkers methinks, they need some others who have gone under the radar as lynchbait...
Yeah, no. Anne, you're going to vote for Luigi or Bruno (who is also a good call for today particularly with Bobby being killed).
I do need to more thoroughly look over all of Anne's posts to see if something stands out more that makes her look not townie as some others were thinking, but my impression with the Frank business so far and all is still ok. We just need cooperation.
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
Sign was painted, it said private property
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me
Well that's a nice xpost but Angelo I don't think you OMGUSing back at Anne is the right call right now either.

Of course Anne comes up with a half-decent case now.....town is like a lamb to the slaughter.![]()
I think town should lynch Angelo and give Anne more rope to hang herself, NOT Luigi because....I can't say why....maybe he just doesn't strike me as guilty?
Edit: And nice one calling my buff Anne...![]()

I waft my private parts at all my accusers. You stink, and you never get it right about me anyway.
I am telling town to go along with it....can't help it if I am 90% sure your mafia.![]()
vote: Bruno
Cuz Romanic musta had a reason.
Thing about Angelo is, for someone who voted everyday, I don't remember a
thing he ever said. Woulda probably voted him today if things was different so far. I wanna see his posts, but don't know if there's gonna be time.

Luigi is a good suspect. Richie too. Angelo's fine too, despite Anne's mistaken guess about me.
Why are you still posting under your anonymous account?![]()
Bertha and Fat Tony are innerestin for both votin Bobby, seein as he was workin at it and weren't actually a scummo. They got reason to think they got a chance of gettin him yesterday? They kill him when they don't? I dunno. Neither one votes for Vinny or Bugsy (Bruno don't either). Angelo votes for em both. Angelo needs to quit with the ellipsees if he's town.
