The Thing Mafia [Concluded]

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Evil lairs in Antarctica! As good
A place as any to cackle and brood.
O think, but what of unknown Africa?
There to sibilate of vile arcana!

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Guy's, it is really true: Hitler kaputt!
Time to party, can I get a w00t w00t?

[[MAFIA] Nick]

But Hitler was a misunderstood guy.
For God's sake, did he really have to die?

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Aiiii-eeeee! Ev-er-y-thing is made of knives!
We are all about to lose our lives! *cries*

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Hey, is AskthePizzaGuy in this game?
If so, then he is probably to blame.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

How much before it counts as spam, sirrah?
Wouldn't want to contravene forum law.

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

Boo yeah, Bugsy! That's an awesome name...not that I've ever had any other name, of course. Definitely not.

Oh dear. We've got ourselves a poet .

Seriously TinCow? Bertha???

Random.org determined who got which anonymous account. Random.org also determined which anonymous accounts were used... except Bertha. Bertha was not selected by random.org, so she was substituted instead of another account (Claudia). Bertha must be present in every anonymous account game. It's the law.

How do I already have 27 posts? I thought that was wiped after each game?

No, only PMs are wiped. If we wiped the posts, it would be impossible to read any anonymous game that had already finished.

Wouldn't want to contravene forum law.

I will not restrict posting frequency so long as it's not so excessive that it becomes annoying. Frequent posting can certainly be used to establish an 'identity' as a defense against impersonation by The Thing, so I do not wish to limit any strategies that involve that. Indeed, one of the reasons I assigned the anonymous accounts early was so that even the poor Night 1 victim would get a chance to establish an identity to make The Thing's job a little harder. That said, try not to over do it.

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

Incidentally Mr. Non-existent ten million year old malicious alien, you really don't want to kill me. It would just be giving fuel to TinCow's terrible puns, which would go something along the lines of "the alien squashed him like a bug." You don't want to have that on your conscience. Kill Bertha instead. She's got more meat on her.

[[MAFIA] Silvio]

Hello fellow researchers we really should have shot that dog before we came in here.

[[MAFIA] Salvatore]

Hello fellow researchers we really should have shot that dog before we came in here.

Researchers? We're just here to do the grunt work the bosses are to lazy too. I ain't seen no dogs around here neither, unless you count Bertha.

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Only if you promise to change it back to n/a before the end of the game. If you don't switch it back, I'll have to do it and I don't like doing work.

Correction, the answer is no. All profile editing is automatically disabled for all Anonymous accounts. Thus, you will all stay pleasingly similar in perfect harmony.

It is very Zen.

I was going to try and have some fun with my location, but now I can't.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

Minnie Mouse è il mouse per me!

[[MAFIA] Frank]

Accontentati di Bertha!

[[MAFIA] Fat Tony]

If I work out a lot can my name be changed to Skinny Tony?

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

If I work out a lot can my name be changed to Skinny Tony?

You can't do that! I keep telling you people, we need fatties to act as bait for the non-existent alien.

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

If I work out a lot can my name be changed to Skinny Tony?

Go on the subway diet. But I think we should all be talking Italian.

Hulu e stupidi i propri annunci.

[[MAFIA] Bobby]

Bla de Bla.

What Alien are you guys talking about? There isn't even an alien. Alien's don't exist. Thank you very much.

[[MAFIA] Luigi]

I'm fat

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

I'm fat

Excellent, that's three. Anybody else willing to put on weight for the common good?

[[MAFIA] Sonny]

Aliens aren't fat, therefore we should all put on weight for the common good!

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Hai dimenticato di passare.

[[MAFIA] Emilio]

"I'm TinCow!"

[[MAFIA] Salvatore]

"I'm TinCow!"

Who are you quoting? I don't remember Tincow ever saying that.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

He is quoting himself, at the present moment. Obviously.

[[MAFIA] Salvatore]

He is quoting himself, at the present moment. Obviously.

That is not how quotes work. Proper grammar is an essential part of a well rounded mafioso's arsenal.

[[MAFIA] Emilio]

If you want to say, "I'm TinCow!" with your first post in the game, that's perfectly fine.

Although actually, I wouldn't be quoting myself.

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Perché questo è tanto?

And So It Began

It was cold. It was really, really cold. The henchpeople were all huddled in small groups, using each others' bodies as wind breaks like small clusters of penguins in bright-orange jumpsuits. For some reason, Kage and CR did not seem bothered by the weather; the latter was even wearing shorts.

CR threw his arms wide, "Lady-man and gentlemen! Welcome to Antarctica." Kage clapped his hands in excitement, while the henchpersons just stared at him blankly. CR shushed everyone. "Alright, alright, keep it down. We've got work to do here and don't have time for frivolities! We expect you all to act like professional henchpersons, so get your butts in line and get down to work."

Kage stepped forward, "I know it's already late in the afternoon, but the Norwegians did not exactly leave this place in livable conditions when they... uh, let's say, left. Yes, when they left." Kage looked at CR and grinned wickedly, before turning back to the henchpersons. "Apparently the Norwegians couldn't even be bothered to clean up their piles of bloody goo and viscera. The stuff is practically coating every single surface inside the place, and it's all frozen solid."

CR stepped forward and whispered in Kage's ear. Kage nodded, "It seems some of you are in luck! Not all of the bloody goo is frozen solid, there's at least one pile that seems nice and fresh. Still warm even! That should be a lot easier to clean up than the rest of the frozen stuff. What a lucky break!" CR nodded briskly in agreement. "Ok now, I want everyone to spread out and get to work on cleaning this place. We want to make sure this place is spotless by the end of tonight so that we can start work on the proper super evil base tomorrow. In order to make sure that the cleaning goes as fast as possible, we want every single one of you to work alone and well away from the rest. If you can see another person, you're too close. If you can hear another person, you're too close. For maximum efficiency, everyone should be outside of screaming distance from one another. You should each be totally and utterly isolated and alone before you start cleaning up the frozen and/or non-frozen bloody goo."

"Ok now, get going" CR said. "We'll wait inside this thing." He gestured to his right. The henchpersons squinted at the odd structure in the distance.

"It's impervious to weather and inside there, we'll be completely safe from anything that would want to kill us." Kage smiled, "Not that anything would want to kill us." CR nodded. "No, no... henchpeople always get killed first, " Kage continue. "Not that you have anything to worry about, there's nothing here but ice, abandoned Norwegian base, and frozen bloody gore." CR whispered in his ear, "Oh yes, also fresh bloody gore."

The henchpeople stared sullenly at the pair for a few moment. CR frowned and waved his hands at them. "Shoo! Shoo! Go clean in total isolation! We'll see you in the morning."
