    Default That Cold Winter [Concluded]

    That Cold Winter.


    Staffle town.

    Dr. Dresden was sitting at his desk. He stared at the computer screen in front of him. He was bored. The snow storm had cut this little village off from the rest of the world. If only he wouldn't have stopped here for a couple of days. This could very well last for an entire week.

    He lit another cigarette and leaned back in his chair, when a beeping sound announced that he had received an e-mail. Probably yet another spam mail about a product he didn't need, but he was bored, so he clicked on it.

    Hi Dr. Dresden,

    Do you remember Bernard, one of your former patients? You had him locked up in your mental institution.

    You locked up the wrong brother, you idiot!

    We, Jeremy and Henry, are the crazy ones and we will prove it!

    Because, WE ARE HERE!!! AND WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU. And of course, we will also get rid of the rest of this petty village. After all, one louzy murder won't make us famous. But 13 dead bodies will!

    HAHAHAHA!!!

    Jeremy & Henry.
    Dr. Dresden felt uncomfortable. He tried to stand up, but couldn't. With trembling hands, he smoked the rest of his cigarette and he called the number of the local police.

    ***

    Willy was sitting in his chair when the phone rang. With all his colleagues absent, he was the only cop in town. He felt important, so he decided to let the phone ring a bit. After all, he was busy with an important file, called "minesweeper".

    An annoying sound told him he had lost.

    He stared at the damnable phone that kept ringing. "This better be good," he said to himself and he picked up the phone.

    "Yes?"

    "Sir? It's Dr. Dresden. I think we have a problem. I received an e-mail from two psychopaths who infiltrated the village. They threatened to kill me and exterminate all inhabitants of this village!"

    "Really, Dr. Dresden?"

    "Yes. What's that for a question. I can forward you the e-mail if you wan..."

    "Are you serious, Dr. Dresden?" Willy said, hardly managing to avoid breaking out in laughter.

    "Listen, you idiot, of course I'm serious! We need to find those two before it's..."

    "I'm not an idiot, Dr. Dresden. I'm coming over there right now."

    "Ok," Dr. Dresden said, with a sigh of relief.

    ***

    2 hours later...

    Dr. Dresden looked up at the ceiling. He gently touched his black eye. Trying to get up, he moaned softly. He walked towards his suitcase which contained some painkillers.

    "So, Dr. Dresden. Let it be clear that I'm not an idiot. And as for your nonsense about serial killers, I won't waste valuable resources on funny guy 1.854.254 who sends threats through the internet. Maybe you didn't notice, but there's a snow storm and nobody can reach us. Not even psychopaths. Have a good night, Dr. Dresden."

    That said, Willy left Dresden's hotel room, shaking his head.

    ***

    Welcome to Staffle town, a nonexistant village somewhere in a country where they speak English!



    Rules:
    I. Basic mafia rules
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    There two sides in this game, each with their own goal.
    Basic mafia rules apply. For those new to mafia, I'll repeat them here, for your convenience:
    Tourists are the townies in this game.
    The townies are the innocent people and they have to lynch the mafiosi (in this game two psychopaths) during the day. The mafiosi have to kill a set number of townies each night. When all mafiosi are lynched, the town wins. When all townies are dead, the mafia wins.
    Each day phase will last 48 hours; each night phase 24 hours. This may be extended due to real life circumstances.
    The townies have to decide during the day by voting who will get lynched. The person with the most votes, will be lynched.
    Votes have to be made like this:
    Vote : Andres
    When you want to switch your vote, you have to do it like this:
    Unvote : Andres ; Vote : TosaInu
    Please remember to BOLD YOUR VOTES! UNBOLDED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED! No exceptions will be made.
    Note:
    In this game, voting "No Lynch" will be counted as an abstain. When a tie is reached at the end of the day, the game host will randomly (as in "completely at random") lynch one of the players in the tie.
    In short: there will always be a lynch at the end of the day phase.


    II. Specific rules
    * No communication about this game outside of this thread. (exception: Both mafiosi are allowed to communicate with each other outside of the thread.)
    * It's not allowed to quote role pm's or night actions results in private; you are allowed to claim a role.
    * Do not post screenshots.
    * The dead are allowed to talk.
    * No post mortem reveal of role/night actions.
    * mafia has two kills/night, even when their numbers our down to one.

    III. Roles.
    * Jeremy and Henry : the psychopaths (=mafiosi)
    * Dr. Dresden: a doctor
    * Willy : a cop

    On a slightly unrelated note, is AVSM not hosting his game?

    You were listed on the queue as follows:

    "A Very Super Market - Untitled for now (moved down 2 [again])"

    Since it wasn't clear for me if you had been moved down and were now up or if you were going to be moved down, I asked the Gameroom mods if it was my turn now. Since YLC's game is in the end phase as well, I was allowed to go ahead and open sign-ups

    Two more spaces left.

    After his work-out with Dr. Dresden, Willy returned home. He looked around him and sighed. That crazy doctor. What could ever happen in this quiet town, during a blizzard?

    He laughed softly and went to sleep.

    Night 1 - Conclusion

    Reenk Roink couldn’t sleep. He switched on the light and grabbed a book. Suddenly, the light went out. He reached for the switch and the light was on again.

    He shrugged and wanted to resume reading when the light went out again. Again, he reached for the switch and the light was on again. He looked confused. Would there be something wrong with… The light was out again.

    Reenk Roink stood up and switched on the light again. He could hear somebody laughing and the lights were out again.

    “This is not funny!” Reenk said, with a firm voice.

    “You want to see what’s going to happen?” a voice whispered.

    “Switch on the damn lights!” Reenk said, getting angry.

    “Well, we were willing to show you some mercy, but if you want the lights on, then so be it,” a cold, sinister voice whispered in his ear.

    Reenk felt a gun against his back.

    “What…?”

    Somebody grabbed his wrists and handcuffed him. A chain was attached at the handcuffs and Reenk was lifted up.

    The lights were switched on again and Reenk stared at himself in the mirror. Two masked men came near, one was carrying a whip, another one a sharp metallic object. The man carrying the whip ripped Reenks’ clothes apart.

    "Let's have some fun," the men carrying the sharp object said and he cut off Reenk's right ear. At the same time, the other men started to whip Reenk at his back and other places...

    Reenks’ screaming went on for hours and after the two psychopaths were finished, his body was transformed into a bloody pulp.

    ***



    Shinseikhaan was watching television. It was already 3.00 am.

    “Shouldn’t you go to bed, Mister?” a voice whispered.

    “Huh? Who’s there?” ‘khaan yelled, in the meanwhile reaching for his mobile phone.

    A sharp object came down and cut off ‘khaan’s right hand.

    “No calling the police, Mister,” another voice said.

    ‘khaan looked at his hand and started to scream. “Oh no, what are you going to do with me? I’ve done nothing wrong! I’m just an innocent civilian. Oh please, no! Mother! Father! Help!”

    The two men started to laugh. “The sound of an angel!” one said. “Oh, I love it, please continue yelling. It brings us pleasure.”

    ‘khaan fell silent and started to cry softly.

    Another strike of the sharp object seperated ‘khaan’s left foot from his leg and the screaming started again. Each time the screaming stopped, the man chopped off another part from ‘khaan’s body, while the other one sprinkled salt on the wounds. After more than an hour, ‘khaan was sitting in a pool of his own blood, surrounded by his own body parts.

    Weakened by the blood loss, he couldn’t scream. He was exhausted.

    “You’re no more fun, Mister,” one of the men said, shaking his head.

    The other one grabbed the sharp object and decapacitated ‘khaan. He took the head and threw it through the window.

    ***


    The people of Stiffletown gathered. They were very upset after they had learend about the two gruesome murders that had happened that night.

    Willy looked at them.

    “I heard rumours about two psychopaths having infiltrated the village. I have conducted several investigations in all secrecy, but I didn’t find conclusive evidence as of yet. Since the killers can’t wait until my investigations are concluded, I want you to help me with the investigations. You will discuss and at the end of the day decide on which person looks guilty. That person will then be lynched.”

    Andres usually allows killers to make their own writeups, if this is the case then I find these very similar to the bloody writeups of Captain Blackadder. What do you have to say for yourself CB?


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Description originally posted by Captain Blackadder as Fillet Royale 2 mafioso:

    A member of the beef mafia placed YLC in his prison to die. It will not take long. In the dark he will explore his cell. Curiosity will overcome him eventually. The pit, a gaping hole in the center of the cell, will become his grave. It is a cruel way to die, but not as bad as what we have prepared for him if he survives.

    He crawls along the edge of the cell, against the wall. He is curious. What kind of prison is his in? He does not know what awaits in the center of his cell. The pit. Ready to engulf him.

    They are coming, the enemy. Our forces have not been able to stop them. The general says that they are headed in our direction. The man hopes that our mafia will be able to defeat the infidels, the vegetarians that they will not be able to reach our city.

    The man watches as YLC awakes. He begins to explore again, but he falls. His head hangs over the edge of the pit, and he realizes what death we had prepared for him. He was lucky to escape the trap we set for him, but we will not be deterred. As he sleeps, the man comes into the cell. The man sets up a wooden frame and lays YLC on it. The man deftly ties sturdy knots with a single rope. He is tied securely and will not be able to escape, but his left arm is left free so he can eat, and his chest is left bare. Nothing will get in the path to his heart.

    Hours pass. The enemy still approaches. IThe man hears news of defeats everywhere. How much longer will we be able to hold up? They still approach. They will be here soon. The city is preparing. The men collect weapons and gather at night to hold whispered councils. The man, as a guard, also have a duty. When they arrive, the beef mafia will fight too.

    The pendulum is swinging, swinging. The man can always hear the creaking as metal rubs against wood. Slowly, slowly it descends toward him. A fraction of a millimeter every minute. Now the man can detect fear in YLC eyes. He knows his fate. He sees the blade swinging, death descending upon him slowly, slowly... The man chuckle. Now does he wish that he had fallen into the hole? It seems welcome now compared to what he now faces.

    The city is preparing for the impending attack of veggies, but the man watch over the prisoner still. Both of them are waiting: YLC with growing dread and The man with growing impatience. How much longer will this take? But the man knows that in the end, the waiting will be rewarded. The man will see the pain in his face as the blade digs into his flesh, slowly descending toward his heart. At last the infidel will receive his doom.

    Now is the time. The pendulum swings just centimeters above his chest. He is beginning to get desperate. He exhales every time the blade swings over him, trying to avoid the fatal blade. Now the blade touches his shirt, shredding it. The mans rubs his hands together and watch as he frantically struggles with his bonds.


    He grabs the remnants of the meat the man had provided him with and starts rubbing it on the ropes holding him down. The man think he is going crazy. But then the rats swarm over him. The man can tell that they are gnawing on the meat-saturated ropes. The man curses silently. Why did I have to leave meat? The rats begin to gnaw and with that YLC look at the man straight in the eyes and smiles for he has won the beef mafia will get no pleasure from this. YLC has won and with that final victory he dies.

    The short static phases don't seem to link up with the paragraphs in the quote, Yaropolk. I am not convinced from your argument, maybe you need to explain it more, however I don't think it is Centurion's case that Yaropolk is the mafia, I believe Yaropolk was attempting to assist the town, however, he didn't explain it enough to be convincing.
