Mafia IX: Triumph of the Mafia [Concluded]

[Methos]

Unvote: Shin; Vote: Sasaki He's too.... I'm not even sure.

[Subotan]

Vote:Reenk Roink

You're being wayyyy too quiet, given your reputation for backtalking and snarky comments.

But... there's a dance (provided by Dr. Elliot Reed) that comes along with the cake too. :<

Ugh, Scrubs used to be good....

[Secura]

Ugh, Scrubs used to be good....

But the dance is from one of the very early episodes! :<

[Subotan]

It better be. Scrubs really went downhill after the Third Season.

[Joooray]

It better be. Scrubs really went downhill after the Third Season.

I beg to differ, only the last season was bad.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

And here we go again..
How many times to I have to say I am a townie?

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you say it just one more time, I'd be convinced.

Every game I secretly write down a number between one and ten, and if people insist they are innocent that number of times, that's ironclad proof of being such.

Ok, just for one more time. I am townie.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There, see? How can you possibly be guilty now?

It's impossible, isn't it? Amirite?

[TinCow]

I am amazed at the amount of drama that can come from a bit of absurdity. I am beginning to see the appeal of Reenkishness.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry everyone, I was out for around 12 hours and quite literally just got back in. As I have no desire to do anything other than shower and sleep right now, voting will be extended for 12 hours.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Cool...

unvote, vote:Subotan

Not feeling any of the current lynches so I'll pick another one out of the hat.

[TinCow]

Unvote; Vote: Subotan

He organized the hit on Sonny.

[Subotan]

Cool...

unvote, vote:Subotan

Not feeling any of the current lynches so I'll pick another one out of the hat.

"Damn, none of the current lynches are innocent enough for me to bandwagon"

He organized the hit on Sonny.

Who's Sonny?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

"Damn, none of the current lynches are innocent enough for me to bandwagon"

What does this mean? I don't think it makes sense.

[Subotan]

Hm, looking back on it, it's not great English. My bad.

What I'm saying is, you're gathering all the information about who is acting scummy, identifying potential mafiosi, then discarding it and voting for somebody totally random. In addition to myself, you laid the first vote and started bandwagons upon Shlin, Secura and Ibn; and that's just this round. This scattergun approach isn't productive for us at all, as we end up accusing townies who then have to explain why your random vote is stupid, whilst the mafiosi either lurk their way to victory or hide behind wild accusations disguised as "debate".

It's called looking for mafia. If I get a town enough feel for someone, I switch to someone else instead of pushing on and lynching them. The idea is that eventually I accuse a mafioso, or can narrow it down by process of elimination ;)

[Beskar]

Vote: Renata

She is lurking and she is usually posting posts going "I think you are the mafia!" and she is not doing this.

[Renata]

Is that a leftover OMGUS from yesterday, or are you just skimming?

[Subotan]

If you are looking, then it would be helpful if you could state "I do not think X is mafia because of Y", rather than just leaving it hanging. We have no idea whether you still have suspicions about any of the players you have accused, and as there are no pro-town roles, you have to play a game like this in out in the open.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It's just a feeling though, liable to change. There's nothing solid in this game.

[Secura]

Who's Sonny?

A character from The Godfather films; he is the older brother of Al Pacino's character, and he is killed at a tolling booth by a rival mafia family.

I believe TinCow was just quoting from that. :3

Voting closed.

Stand by for the execution.

Ah I see, I last saw that ages ago when I was little

[GeneralHankerchief]

After five days of voting, the townies had begun to settle into their routine. Get up, normal morning actions, wait to get killed (or not), realize that they had been spared for today, continue on with life as usual, wait to be summoned to the Frontroom Square. Discuss, defend self, maybe accuse others, vote. Go back home, try to relax, sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The usual motions-within-motions were even starting to show up during the voting periods. Someone would make an accusation early on in the day, that accusation would pick up steam and gain more votes, other bandwagons would appear, a bunch of votes would be thrown out in random directions, there would be a final effort to spare the initial target, but ultimately the initial target would go down. This was the case with probably three out of the five executions, maybe more. Including today.

One might even say that the entire execution process was becoming... well... boring. Oh, certainly this wasn't the case for the day's target, shlin28, who started babbling and gibbering about his innocence almost immediately after he started getting votes, but to everybody else, who was safe, nothing really seemed out of the ordinary.

Even when shlin28 made a pledge to the town that he would attend the rest of the executions in women's clothing if he was spared for the day, and, since that failed, would use his various contacts to put together a glorious carnival for the Frontroom sometime in the summer, the rest of the town just didn't seem to care. It was nothing more than business as usual for them, a sad indicator of everyone's psyche on Day 5 of the mafia assault.

Eventually, Chief of Police Lemur called an end to voting, declared shlin as the day's condemned, and dragged him to the execution platform. "shlin," he said, "Any last words before your sentence is carried out?"

"Nah," said shlin, "I think the town's made it pretty clear that they want me gone. I mean, they must be pretty convinced of my guilt if they're going to pass up a carnival complete with lions and candy and ferris wheels and the like in order for a chance to kill me."

"All right then," said Lemur, fishing a walkie-talkie out of his pocket. "Base, this is Robot Unicorn. Proceed to make dreams come true." Putting the walkie-talkie away, he addressed the full crowd again.

"For this execution," he said, "I've called in a little outside help. The local air field nearby has perfected a form of ultra-precision bombing, where they can neutralize a single target without destroying any of the landscape. I've agreed to let them use shlin as practice. This is what we call a 'mutually beneficial agreement'." As always, general apathy proceeded this statement, despite the gravity of what Lemur was saying.

There was about five minutes of silence, and then, little by little, they could see three black specks in the distance. They zoomed by overhead, the sound of their engines finally kicking in, and then everybody could see it. Another dark shape, heading straight down, directly for shlin's head. Everybody half-watched as the object - a regular anvil - made contact with shlin's head, creating the most beautiful sound in the world and killing shlin instantly. Still there was no reaction.

"Wait a sec..." Lemur muttered, spying another black shape coming straight down. "Aw, come on! They were only supposed to drop *one* anvil! One! Everybody clear out! Out of the way!!!"

Finally, realizing their lives were at stake, the villagers started to care and began jostling at each other for position. The exodus out of the Frontroom Square bordered on a stampede, but somehow everybody made it to safety. Everybody, that is, except for Cultured Drizzt fan, who was not quick enough and took the anvil right on the head.

Ah I see, I last saw that ages ago when I was little

Here is the your lynch write-up with Lemur acting as Michael Corleone

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Not 18+ stuff...I don't think, but I still think it's a little excessive, so I put spoilers on it

[TinCow]

Who's Sonny?

Makes sense you wouldn't know, that's what his friends called him. To scum like you he was Santino.

[johnhughthom]

A character from The Godfather films; he is the older brother of Al Pacino's character, and he is killed at a tolling booth by a rival mafia family.

I believe TinCow was just quoting from that. :3

That scene still makes me want to get up and punch Carlo in the face. Sonny was great.

[Renata]

You voted me yesterday?

No, I made a rather pointed comment at you, though.
