What is that I see in the distance? AAAAAAAAAAA!

There be monsters 'round here? Aw hell nah.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The principal things I have been keeping back relate to the bodies, and to certain subtle points which may or may not lend a hideous and incredible kind of rationale to the apparent chaos. At the time I tried to keep the my mind off those points; for it was so much simpler—so much more normal—to lay everything to an outbreak of madness on the part of some of the Norwegians. From the look of things, that daemon mountain wind must have been enough to drive any man mad in the midst of this centre of all earthly mystery and desolation.
The crowning abnormality, of course, was the condition of the bodies—men and dogs alike. They had all been in some terrible kind of conflict, and were torn and mangled in fiendish and altogether inexplicable ways. Death, so far as I could judge, had in each case come from strangulation or laceration. The dogs had evidently started the trouble, for the state of their ill-built corral bore witness to its forcible breakage from within. It had been set some distance from the camp because..., but the precaution seemed to have been taken in vain. When left alone in that monstrous wind behind flimsy walls of insufficient height they must have stampeded—whether from the wind itself, or...one could not say.
But whatever had happened, it was hideous and revolting enough. Perhaps I had better put squeamishness aside and tell the worst at last—though with a categorical statement of opinion, based on the first-hand observations and most rigid deductions of both [Mafia]Danforth and myself, that the then missing [Mafia]Gedney was in no way responsible for the loathsome horrors I found. I have said that the bodies were frightfully mangled. Now I must add that some were incised and subtracted from in the most curious, cold-blooded, and inhuman fashion. It was the same with dogs and men. All the healthier, fatter bodies, quadrupedal or bipedal, had had their most solid masses of tissue cut out and removed, as by a careful butcher; and around them was a strange sprinkling of salt—taken from the ravaged provision-chests on the planes—which conjured up the most horrible associations. The thing had occurred in one of the crude aëroplane shelters from which the plane had been dragged out, and subsequent winds had effaced all tracks which could have supplied any plausible theory. Scattered bits of clothing, roughly slashed from the human incision-subjects, hinted no clues. It is useless to bring up the half-impression of certain faint snow-prints in one shielded corner of the ruined enclosure—because that impression did not concern human prints at all, but was clearly mixed up with all the talk of fossil prints which poor Lake had been giving throughout the preceding weeks. One had to be careful of one’s imagination in the lee of those overshadowing mountains of madness.
As I have indicated, [Mafia]Gedney and one dog turned out to be missing in the end. When I came on that terrible shelter I had missed two dogs and two men; but the fairly unharmed dissecting tent, which I entered after investigating the monstrous graves, had something to reveal. It was not as [Mafia]Lake had left it... On and around that laboratory table were strown other things, and it did not take long for us to guess that those things were the carefully though oddly and inexpertly dissected parts of one man and one dog. I shall spare the feelings of survivors by omitting mention of the man’s identity. [Mafia]Lake’s anatomical instruments were missing, but there were evidences of their careful cleansing. The gasoline stove was also gone, though around it I found a curious litter of matches. I buried the human parts beside the other ten men, and the canine parts with the other 35 dogs. Concerning the bizarre smudges on the laboratory table, and on the jumble of roughly handled illustrated books scattered near it, I was much too bewildered to speculate.
This formed the worst of the camp horror, but other things were equally perplexing. The disappearance of [Mafia]Gedney, the one dog, the eight uninjured biological specimens, the three sledges, and certain instruments, illustrated technical and scientific books, writing materials, electric torches and batteries, food and fuel, heating apparatus, spare tents, fur suits, and the like, was utterly beyond sane conjecture; as were likewise the spatter-fringed ink-blots on certain pieces of paper, and the evidences of curious alien fumbling and experimentation around the planes and all other mechanical devices both at the camp and at the boring. The dogs seemed to abhor this oddly disordered machinery. Then, too, there was the upsetting of the larder, the disappearance of certain staples, and the jarringly comical heap of tin cans pried open in the most unlikely ways and at the most unlikely places. The profusion of scattered matches, intact, broken, or spent, formed another minor enigma; as did the two or three tent-cloths and fur suits which I found lying about with peculiar and unorthodox slashings conceivably due to clumsy efforts at unimaginable adaptations. The maltreatment of the human and canine bodies... were all of a piece with this apparent disintegrative madness. In view of just such an eventuality as the present one, I carefully photographed all the main evidences of insane disorder at the camp; and shall use the prints to buttress our pleas against the departure of the proposed Frontroom Mafiascum Expedition.

What kinda name is Silvio? Sounds like you should be out doing underage broads and bribing judges, not voting during a night phase like a schmuck.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

You can easily tell that I'm still me.
My form is refined, my verse ain't free. See?

Tin, for future Anon games, make it thus:
Lock off thread access to the real of us.

Hmmm... that's an interesting idea. There isn't currently any way to prevent accounts from posting in a specific thread, in order to do so I'd have to remove your ability to post in the entire Gameroom, which we don't want. I'll see if there's a mod that would do that though.

It's a fine name it means in the woods which is where you will end up carpiche if you don't stop making the insinuations about my character.

Did you just accuse me of urinating in my vehicular transportation Silvio?

I have added this ability to the forums, and have banned all main accounts from this thread. So, we should no longer have issues with someone posting with the wrong account. If someone would like to test this to make sure it's working properly (try posting with your main account), I'd appreciate it.

Awesome work TinCow. Doe this stop the Mafia accounts posting in other threads as well, or is it only one-way?

[[MAFIA] Paulie]

Just tested, you can post in other Gameroom threads.

[TinCow]

It will only restrict your main account from posting in this thread, no where else on the rest of the forum.

My wife has reminded me that we have to be somewhere at 10am tomorrow. As such, I will not be around when the time limit for N1 expires. As such, I will shorten the Night by 1 hour. It will now end at 9am EDT instead 10am EDT.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Testing.

HAH! Your pitiful bans are no match for me!

"Quick guys, back to henching. The bosses are comparing schlongs again, you know what happens when they start doing that."

Bah, I have nothing fear. We all now I would win. I'm not know as Fat Tony for my waistline.

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

I'm not know as Fat Tony for my waistline.

No, the triple chin is usually considered the most prominent feature. Seriously though, why else would you be called Fat Tony? I'm stumped.

Paulie, I figure if I act anti-establishment enough the alien (not that it exists) will view me as worth saving. After all, I, for one, welcome our new insect alien overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality henchperson, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves random Norwegian bases.
