Capo di Tutti Capi IV [Concluded]

[El Barto]

Okay guys. I have two questions. Why is Chatoix a bad lynch? He was/is trying to become a Don. And why is everyone band wagonning on Montmorency so much? He has accounted for every night. Not only that, he did it pretty well.

He hasn't accounted that well, and what's this about Chaotix wanting to become a Don?

LIKE A DON BOSS.

[A little too much for the Gameroom - GH]

Thy request hath been granted by Dj Bart.

Montmorency's pretty much a liar.

He claimed to me on day one he was an FBI detective and he was going to investigate me.

Now he's claiming doctor.

Anything to survive as a scum.

Vote: Montmorency

I've never claimed doctor, you wannabe scum-wannabe. I jokingly told you I was FBI on N1 to mess with you after your inthread proclamations. Good luck with being Mafia.

So you spout a load of waffle, then whenever people start connecting the dots and comparing statements 'it was a joke'?

unvote; vote: Chaotix

What the hell! Might as well.

Yah, right. If 'might as well' is a good reason for voting then you're activating my scumdar to no end.

[Montmorency]

Endgame full reveal:

I am a wiseguy. My most recent project was to participate in a wiseguy vig group. Previous projects included going pure neutral, joining the Mafia for realsies, and infiltrating the Mafia as a mole. For a brief moment, I considered going the Pizza route, except totally incognito. On N4 I attacked Sasaki Kojiro. I had also prepared an Pizza-attack writeup for that eventuality.

Hark, Pizza, you winesack, non-entity, though beautiful to look upon, ever the
one with false lying purpose to enflame the hearts of men!

By MY HUGE STRENGTH will you be beaten down in the strong encounter, where with pitiless harsh words I will unstring your sinews, and the sweet life will leave your smooth body, and hateful death as a mist will cover both eyes. Hear now my vaunting and be sorrowful at heart, for you can not ever avoid the evil destiny.

I almost immediately realized that I couldn’t put out write-ups like these for any length of time. So here we are.

The player dies ten times, but the name lives on! Grossdeutschland über alles!

[landlubber]

Got another one.

The day one vote for Erebus was random, admittedly. To be fair, I don't see how that vote was any different than other townies. If anyone who's an assumed townie had a decent vote on day one, could you point it out?The Earthling vote was on day two, when it was still early and hard to determine behavioral patterns, which is usually what I use to vote with. I'll apologize for the Sigurd vote; I wasn't paying that much attention to it, and didn't fully comprehend the situation. Personal mistake.
However, I stand by the rest of my votes and statements. I don't consider pressure voting scummy, no. In fact, that's how I normally vote. It's my philosophy that a pressure vote is generally more useful than a bandwagon vote. Of course, the Earthling and Sigurd votes didn't adhere to that, due to lack of knowing who's inactive and misunderstanding of the situation, respectively. I still stand by my votes, however.

[Frozen In Ice]

Yeah, even if Monty isnt mafia, lynching him is a good idea.

[autolycus]

Looks like my vote is completely insignificant and I'm still trying to catch up, so I'll just vote: Diamondeye, because he feels gut-scummy to me more than usual and I've played in more games with him than most others.

[fubbleskag]

and here I didn't think I'd make it home from poker in time to vote!

vote Sigurd

I'm on the fence about Montmorency - enough so to let him die; I'd be just as happy to see Chaotix and/or Diamondeye get lynched, though.

“I can hear the auctioneer getting ready to sell down the river
To a buyer with a tax deduction its pretty cheap
Don’t forget about the price that we’ll all have to pay now
Show a little faith and stop before we’re in too deep
Well judgment day is upon you Mr. Politician
Will you sell the soul of the land of our birth
Do you really want us all to move to the coast
Water for the river and the future should come first””

8:01PM Thursday 3 November 1951
The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey


This time, there was no elaborate setup. Director Hankerchief did not summon everybody to a masquerade off-site in order to execute somebody. Nor did he pass anything out, wheel anything in, or bring in large carnivorous animals. For once, he did not leave the ballroom during the entire course of voting. All in all, this actually looked to be a fairly normal execution.

The only work that was done by his usual assistants was quickly completed so that by the time the Director announced Montmorency would be the day's lynch and said victim got up in front of the room to face everybody, the setup was already done. Aside from the usual Director's podium, Hankerchief's lovely female assistants had set up a small table with two chairs on opposite sides, with two empty glasses set on top of the table. The Director indicated for Montmorency to sit down while one of Hankerchief's assistants presented him with a bottle of wine. Bottle in hand, the Director remained standing to address the crowd.

"What you see here is a standard bottle of wine - well, if you could call '18 LaTour standard - that has not been altered in any way. I am about to take the cork out of the bottle for the very first time and breathe in its aroma. I do this in front of you so that none of you will be able to deny me later." The crowd watched in silence as he did what he said. "Once again, completely unaltered, I am now going to pour this same wine from the bottle into the two glasses." Again the crowd watched as he did this. "Now this..." the Director said as he reached into his lapel and pulled out a tiny capsule, "...is poison. I am going to empty its contents into one of the two wine glasses, and *not* in full view of everybody." He turned around, taking the glasses and hiding his movements so no one could see what he was doing. This time he did not do his task in silence, as the entire crowd had gasped over this turn of events. After a few seconds, the Director turned around, very deliberately setting one of the glasses in front of Montmorency and keeping the other in front of himself.

"I have decided to be merciful today - well, at least, as close to merciful that I can be. There has been some dissent over my leadership recently - that I am overseeing bad lynches, that I am being too forceful with my methods and not forceful enough regarding the Committee's night actions. Therefore, I am giving Montmorency a chance to get out of this alive. To change his fate. Only one of these glasses is poisoned. The other one is not. All he has to do is drink from the correct glass. If he's wrong, he dies. If he's right, I die and the Directorship passes to someone else. It's all in Montmorency's - and God's - hands. Let the battle of wits begin." And finally he sat down, staring at Montmorency with an impassive expression on his face.

Montmorency's facade of impenetrability was much more transparent. He was able to hold it for about ten seconds before breaking gaze with the Director and starting to mutter to himself. Most of it was unintelligible, but the Director was able to pick up such words as "Spaniard", "morons", and "land war in Asia". Hankerchief himself said nothing, only staring back at Montmorency with the slightest of smiles on his face. The Committee was completely silent. They could almost feel the brainpower in the air.

Beads of sweat started to form on Montmorency's face. One of them rolled down his cheek. It was becoming clear to everybody that the Director was, in fact, the superior intellectual, that he was most likely going to defeat his opponent, that the only way Montmorency would get out of this alive would be with a lucky guess. The muttering started up again. The sweat started to pour down his face now. Montmorency's eyes started to dart around the room, almost as if searching for something, calculating.

After several seconds of this, the darting stopped. Montmorency appeared calmer somehow, more confident. He stood up and turned around, facing the crowd, while still ostensibly speaking to the Director.

"I've figured it out!" he proclaimed. "Nobody in such a position of power would willingly risk it like this. No, you've gamed the system somehow. There *must* be a lynch, everyone knows this, and you wouldn't jeopardize that rule. You've probably poisoned both glasses but took an antidote beforehand, or have secretly built up a resistance to whatever poison you're using." He started to grow more frantic again, breaking the previous calmness. "Well, I deny you, sir! I deny this charade any longer! I refuse to take part in your mind games! The Committee can all go to Hell!!!" And then he broke for it, sprinting down the ballroom before anyone had a chance to react. He was so fast he managed to get to the doors before anyone reacted. Finally, everyone gasped save for GeneralHankerchief, who still had that small smile on his face.

Montmorency threw open the doors... only to reveal a very large, very hungry Bengal tiger right on the other side, waiting to pounce.

Montmorency was too in shock to do anything. He stood there, rooted to the ground, as Fred tore into his newest meal. Back in the Executive Meeting Room, there was far less commotion than last time. It had happened too quickly, the tiger had gotten its target right away, everyone was still processing what had happened and by the time they did, it was over. Finally, as Fred was done, the Director signaled for quiet and for someone to close the doors. Still with that same smile on his face, he addressed the Committee.

"All part of the plan," he said. "What, you thought I'd actually poisoned the wine? A bottle of 1918 LaTour? Philistines, all of you." And he produced three more glasses, poured the rest of the wine to his female assistants, and they all toasted the continued good health of the Committee.

[thefluffyone93]

Princess Bride?

Old School man, old school.

[GeneralHankerchief]

It's 22 years before the book, 36 years before the movie. I don't wanna hear it.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Must.... make.... groups.

What people want.... conflicting.... not everyone gonna be happy face time.

Need beer.

[Populus Romanus]

Who was that guy who said he had spares?

[gibsonsg91921]

Greatest write up in the entire history of the world. A delightful farce!

[Earthling]

I don't wanna hear it.

And I'm sure Diamondeye doesn't want to get murdered tonight, but that probably won't stop anyone. Such a shame too, the one time you see him advocating for the town. Though if he lives I'd love to help him out, maybe he should make a bid for Director.

[Visor]

Though if he lives I'd love to help him out,

You're dead. What are you going to do, protect from the grave?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Game-related announcement:


I can't wait anymore and my efforts are becoming futile.

So far as I know, nobody knows who this guy is, none of my contacts, not even the FBI.

I've been fully scanned by the FBI and the Fatlington PD, both; I'm completely free of communism, free of mafia ties, and have committed zero kills.

As such, I am now leveraging that trustworthiness into something I need done.

I need the "US Agent" to contact me.

This is not an FBI person, I know that much. I don't know a whole lot other than that.


I can protect you, and I can protect your anonymity.

If nobody knows who he is how do you know he exists?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Any townies who would like protection duty for tonight, PM me. Figured I'll try my hand at organizing again.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If nobody knows who he is how do you know he exists?

I know he exists and I even found his target for him.

Basically, he contacts me to accomplish his goal. It is a very pro-town goal, btw; I'll fully reveal once it's done.

I don't intend for this to remain a mystery but it must for the next round or so.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh my that was ugly.

I attempted to meet everyone's wishes and I also covered all the bases, and I did it while being dead tired and irritated.

That was less fun. I hope folks appreciate that their demands aren't always easy to meet, on a deadline.

Night groups formed and sent.

[Sigurd]

I need the "US Agent" to contact me.

You mean the one I made up in the last game?
sheesh, I need to patent stuff...

[Askthepizzaguy]

You mean the one I made up in the last game?
sheesh, I need to patent stuff...

Yeah, and I think Seamus was paying attention.

Not only that, I've noted some of my suggestions went into effect this game. Very good.... a number of totally cheap moves have been prevented.

[The Stranger]

=_= i made up an us agent 3 games ago... well i called it Special Agent. So sigurd gets off with a warning :P

[Death is yonder]

I am actually trying to create fuss with these posts. People vote others on zero reasoning and I want them to speak up about this.

The reason I'm not spamming talking as much as usual is because I try to respect this.
If it's public demand I will gladly resume my usual style of posting

I am not trying to fly under the radar, I am trying to bring things up on the radar, like Memnon's and DE's vote today, same goes for fyremarble's vote ON Memnon. We are several days into the game and this random votes with random reasons thing has to stop!

At the same time one could look at it as a convenient avenue for posting, but okay, that sounds reasonable.

[Populus Romanus]

I know he exists and I even found his target for him.

Basically, he contacts me to accomplish his goal. It is a very pro-town goal, btw; I'll fully reveal once it's done.

I don't intend for this to remain a mystery but it must for the next round or so.

Okay.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

So we lynched the guy who did that satan attack against me?

[Askthepizzaguy]

So we lynched the guy who did that satan attack against me?

Not yet.

[Subotan]

Ugh, that lynch was such WIFOM

[SisterCoyote]

Ugh, that lynch was such WIFOM

Proportionately, how many lynches aren't?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Not yet.

For a brief moment, I considered going the Pizza route, except totally incognito. On N4 I attacked Sasaki Kojiro.
