The Thing Mafia [Concluded]

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Who are you to deal out death and judgement?
I'm helping town; hope that's not what you meant.

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

Deary me; I knew this would happen as soon as I posted, but I just can't keep my mouth shut. It must be a genetic disorder or something.

On a serious note, I believe the relevant word in this situation is framing. If we're trying to catch the Thing, a good first step would be not lynching people who are clearly innocent - Mafiosi, human or alien, don't tend to publicly announce themselves. Therefore, instead of lynching me, I suggest we target somebody who actually has a chance of being scum. That, or just kill the poet/rapper fellow.

P.S. Nick, nothing personal

[[MAFIA] Nick]

It's called WIFOM, and you already start.
And I'm no rapper, don't abase my art!

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

Finally, found it. I find myself hearing everything you say in the DJ's voice (starts about 9:52, and I promise it isn't rickrolling). Again, no offence intended; it's the rhyming couplets that do it, I think. Anyway, I'll get back on topic now.

Pack up the Melk^TM, the f00ns^TM are in the car.
With holy 00n's blessing, we shall go far.

Abstinence may help prevent the spread of apathetic types such as yourself, but it will do us no good here!

Vote: Nick

I like it. Abstinence-only programs don't work.

[[MAFIA] Paulie]

Only a prick would continue to pick on Nick for his schtick.

Vote: Bugsy

Only a prick would continue to pick on Nick for his schtick.

Vote: Bugsy

No, all is well - he's played The Nameless Mod (although he is a Goat and thus fated to eternal suffering for not recognising the great Lamar). In the realisation that I am certainly doomed, I would like to do something useful with the remainder of my life. Therefore, I am forming a henchpersons' union with the following demands:

1. Equal pay for equal work. It is intolerable in this day and age that stuffy evil overlords get better pay for lazing around and drinking sambuca than henchmen do for an honest day's labour.
2. Workers to work only in pairs, or preferably threes.
3. Free, unlimited internet access. It's on the Evil Overlord list, so you've got to give it to us!
4. Bugsy to be given complete amnesty from all crimes, past and present; Bugsy to be immune from lynching; Bugsy to be protected by armed guards at all times; all henchpeople other than Bugsy to be fed regular and fattening meals.

Who's with me guys?


Also, on the off chance that it will do anything, unvote, vote: Nick. He has the next greatest amount of votes.

[[MAFIA] Paulie]

I'm wondering what would happen if there is another tie. Having Vito prevail over Salvatore without any kind of revote or vote-off is an odd tiebreaker for sure. The Thing is stronger than the average henchman...

[[MAFIA] Bugsy]

Only one way to find out - by retracting your vote on me and putting in on Nick!

Yes, I'm grasping at straws. So what?

[[MAFIA] Paulie]

For the greater good of gathering information unvote: Bugsy.

If Nick gets lynched here I'm not listening to anyone else for the remainder of this game.

unvote, vote: Bugsy

[[MAFIA] Frank]

So Bugsy either wants immunity and kill townies or get killed?

Unvote, Vote: Bugsy

Bugsy must be crushed like a bug!

[[MAFIA] Silvio]

Vote Bugsy

I have had a thought not sure if this will help or not but perhaps we should look at peoples post times. If someone is posting in the same 16 hour block and then suddenly changes to another time we might have found our man.

[TinCow]

Round over.

Kage and CR returned to the bowling alley/nuclear reactor a few hours later, each with a pair of tall blondes on their arms. Kage was wearing sunglasses, and CR was puffing on a cigar.

"Heeeey!" CR gave everyone a Buddy Christ pose. "How's it going guys? You figured out who's been playing rough with the fatsos?"

Several henchmen pointed at Nick, "He speaks funny!" "He won't stop rhyming!" "He kissed my sister!"

CR stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes. "Hmmm... that is suspicious. Particularly the sister-kissing. Kage and I are the only ones around here who get to kiss whoever we want. Is your sister a looker?"

Several more henchmen start shouting at that moment, and pointed at Bugsy. "He discriminates against those of bountiful girth! He hates rappers! He's trying to unionize!"

At this last point, the four girls who arrived with Kage and CR shrieked and buried their heads in the shoulders of the evil overlords. The cigar fell out of CR's mouth, while Kage lowered his sunglasses slightly and glared at Bugsy directly.

"Unionizing? UNIONIZING?!" CR grabbed Bugsy by the front of his jumpsuit. "You dirty traitor. After all we've done for you, this is how you repay us? You disgust me." CR looked at one of the blondes. "Sally, fetch me mah learnin' stick."

Kage stepped forward and put a hand on CR's shoulder. "Easy, old friend. Bugsy only wants to be treated well, perhaps we should let him strike." He gestured at the lane marked zero.

CR smiled and nodded. "Yes. Absolutely. Bugsy, let's see if you've got what it takes to strike." Bugsy looked around nervously, but walked over to the ball return nonetheless. He picked up a ball, lined up his shot, and threw. It was a powerful shot, and pins went flying with a loud clatter. When they settled, he was left with a seven-ten split.

"I told you it needed more work," said Kage.

Bugsy was sweating now. His ball came back, and he picked it up hesitantly. He glanced about at the rest of the henchmen, but no one moved to help him. Eventually he focused back on the lane and, with his breath held, threw an incredible shot. The ball spun just on the lip of the gutter, clipped the left side of the seven pin, and rocketed across to slap the ten pin. The ten pin didn't so much as quiver. "But... but..." blubbered Bugsy, "pointing at the rock-solid ten pin.

"Tough break, kid," said Kage, and hit a button on a nearby console. The floor under Bugsy's feet retracted, exposing a conveyor belt moving at incredible speed. Bugsy was swept off down the lane before he could say another word. He slammed into the end of the lane with a sickening crunch, just moments before the resetting device impaled him with several sharpened bowling pins.

"Alright, back to work you lazy scabs!" growled CR. "And remember, after you finish constructing the menagerie, we want every single piranha hand-painted with reproductions of classical artwork!"

Bugsy: 7 (Bobby, Emilio, Vito, Paulie, Frank, Sonny, Silvio)
Nick: 4 (Johnny, Rocco, Bugsy, Luciano)

u mean the The Ting is actually taking over teh persons body for real?

[[MAFIA] Frank]

I think he meant that the account switch between the Thing's and the body's will be a clue; but I think that the timer is set on the accounts, also the switch, if I got it right from the rules happens, after a kill.
So far corpses were left behind.

"He kissed my sister!"

LMAO XD

[[MAFIA] Paulie]

All right, I could continue and manipulate the town and hide behind this very innocent seeming Paulie account (too bad I won't get all the mileage out of it), and that would probably be best for coasting to a win, but I have already hit the jackpot this game. So here's the clue you're looking for:

I'm The Thing and I'm going to take one small step for a mafioso, one giant step for Mafia, and replace my first victim tonight. It could be any of you (except Nick because I'm not writing poems for any period of time).

That's all I will leave for you for now. You'll have to figure out who I really am. You cannot trace me, you cannot find me.

Love,
Reenk


P.S: Please forgive me john, I wouldn't have killed you first if I had known it was you, I know you wanted to play this game. Would have told you in the deader quicktopic, but then TinCow said it was best if I don't have access so now I can't see any of my victims anymore.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Oi, what just happen? I almost got rolled!
Frank, Vin, what of the Con.Ob. spir't? Just cold.

Theengk, please join me; I'll study your orgtech.
Together, we could make skin spies! Your cheque...

[[MAFIA] Frank]

Huh? :D
Anyway in a nutshell whatever Silvio wrote, was far too confusing for my little brain XD

Reenk sign with your fake account at least :P

[[MAFIA] Vito]

Challenge accepted, Reenk.

[[MAFIA] Johnny]

I knew it was Paulie all along. I avoiding voting for him merely to catch him off his guard.

Reenk, it's Pizzaguy.

Please, for the love of god man, at some point take over my account, please.

I would LOVE to see someone pretend to be me. That would be hysterical!

I'd ask you to do it immediately but that's an obvious trap. So just do it at some point, that's all I'm asking.

Enjoy this game man. I wanted the Thing role so badly, but everyone is being lame and not identifying themselves, so you can't even pretend to be someone.

LAME.

[[MAFIA] Rocco]

I think what I'll do for the remainder of the game is pretend to be Reenk pretending to be myself.

I'm not sure exactly how that will work. I honestly don't have the vocabulary for it, but I could dig out a dictionary and try very hard to fake it. That might be hilarious in and of itself.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Oh no. If anything will save us now,
it is fortune, not fortitude. So bow.
And Fortune, you know, is a *****. The sow.

You were so quiet though, I would have guessed Bugsy was you. But yes you guys should return the favor and pretend to be me. I go softer on players who entertain me.
