Mafia IX Game Thread - St Valentines Massacre - Night 6

[Dirk Kris]

((I think that even before the board issues today, we've all had plenty of time to get points in. Do you really think that a few extra hours will make THAT big a difference? Now, I understand if we're gonna lose 2 or 3 people to auto's - I certainly don't want that.))

[KerfuffleMach2]

Man. I tried getting on here last night, and boards were down. Tried earlier today, nothing.

Anywho, random point at Helgraf. No reason. Just so I can say I voted.

[Andre Fairchilde]

The City Police had a slaughter on their hands, and they proceeded to round up all the usual suspects and parade them before the witnesses.

Twelve witnesses fingered four different people in the mass killing.

Noir Cat was first to be questioned, and detained.

Spoiler

Show

NoirCat was autolynched. NoirCat was a Citizen. She made her bail, but skipped town shortly thereafter.

The next person fingered for involvement in the mass killings was Queenfange, who was immediately arrested and brought in for questioning.

Spoiler

Show

Queenfange too was innocent, caught up in a corrupt world of dirty politicians and untrustworthy women that carry more guns than cash. Queenfange was autolynched. Queenfange was a Citizen. She too skipped town.

Thes Hunter’s name was brought up as a usual suspect, but she was no where to be found.

Spoiler

Show

Thes Hunter was autolynched. Thes Hunter disappeared into the northern wastes of Wisconsin, home of brats and beer. She was never seen again (sober). Thes Hunter was a member of the Capone Mob (Mafia).

Finally, nine witnesses identified Shades of Gray as having something to do with the mass murder.

Spoiler

Show

Unfortunately, seeing as Shades of Gray was actually Commissioner Gordon (Baner) he was certainly there to INVESTIGATE the murders, not perform them. But, since this is a corrupt city, rumors abounded that Commissioner Gordon was himself corrupt, and he was politically removed from any involvement in any investigations. Shades of Gray was lynched.

Day 3 ends, Night 3 begins!

Please get your inputs into myself and Zar Peter in under 24 hours!

[Jontom Xire]

Ok, before everyone tries to lynch me tomorrow for starting the bandwagon against the baner I'd like to point out that I was the first vote and had no idea everyone was going to follow me.

I'd also like to point out that my point at Thes Hunter (who turned out to be Capone mob) didn't turn into a bandwagon. Just luck of the draw...or enemy action.

The people who turned it into a bandwagon were, in order of appearance:

The Rogue Monk
Darkcomet
Tired N' Drowzy
Uncle Festy
Dr. Bath


To me, Tired N' Drowzy and Uncle Festy are the most suspicious on that list, presuming that anyone knew that SoG was the baner.


The first people to push a counter-bandwagon to try and "save" Shades of Gray were:

whitehelm
Ranna
Shades of gray
Shishnarfne
Cynan Machae
Jontom Xire

Although by the time Cynan Machae and I weighed in it was far too late. In fact that list were pushing two separate counter-bandwagons. Pity we didn't co-ordinate, but then we had no idea that SoG was baner and how important it was.

[Amplify]

((OOC: .....It's not even day 4 yet, and it may be possible that both the scryer and the baner are both dead already.


I feel like I'm / we are in a hopeless situation here :( ))

[Darkcomet]

I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry....

[Trixie]

[facepalms] Last time I listen to Jontom's advice

Okay, day 4 is about to begin, there should finally be enough info to make an informed guess. No more bandwagons for me, at least not without a good logic behind them

At least second mobster is dead, too. I wonder if he left any clues behind [too busy right now to check that].

[Dallas-Dakota]

Drat. Well this sucks....


P.s. Thes is a she.

[Dirk Kris]

((...well that sucks. I, for one, will not give up, though. I'm just upset that there have been SO MANY auto-lynches lately, in all the WW games. I don't blame the narrators at all, and I KNOW there have been board issues. But I only post during the weekdays, and I STILL always manage to get points in. Come on people, let's TRY, OK?))

PS: I still love you guys - all of ya.

[Andre Fairchilde]

(The bigger the game, the more autolynches you can expect.)

Very reasonable; I wouldn't lynch you just because of yesterday. Darkcomet, Tired N'Drowzy, and Uncle Festy seem the most suspicious to me too. In addition to coming one after another, boom, boom, boom, they also had no content to their posts other than "Shades of Gray, this point is purely innocent."

It probably doesn't mean anything (look at how well my last "psychology of the role" worked out), but it still reeks of wolf, I don't know.

@Trixie I had a reply to your German post on... Tuesday, but it died and I haven't been able to access the forums since. I was wondering why Shades of Gray suddenly seemed like a bad idea, because there was no reason to suspect he wasn't a wolf, and bandwagons can be formed suddenly for lots of reasons. Now that he's dead, I sound pretty evil—but I can't let a personal attack on my personal person go unanswered.

((OOC: .....It's not even day 4 yet, and it may be possible that both the scryer and the baner are both dead already.

We're not. It's bad, but the good news is that we have two mobsters dead (from the same mob, if that changes anything) and have a great bandwagon against the baner to analyse. We can still get this.

[Mountain_Faerie]

Just as Faerie is about to reject Dallas' offer to help them home, Albert's friend Joey runs up.

"Didja hear?? Tha Commissioner got it! I heard there were fifty Tommy Guns! And a big fire! Ratatatatata...Ratatata...ratatatatat..."





A chill runs up Faerie's spine.

Joey, that's enough. Go home to your Mama. Why Dallas, I think that's an excellent idea. Safety in numbers is what I always say. Let's get indoors where it might be safer.

((This isn't starting well at all.))

[Dirk Kris]

((At least it's not as bad as Fears...and Fears 2. Lost the seer first night in BOTH games, baner soon after.))

[Uncle Festy]

Aw sonuva…

Um, what attack? I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the right post, but if you'll highlight it the joke becomes very obvious

Sigh. I wonder why all sorts of people assume that I'm attacking them, which is almost never the case

[Alarra]

Dirk Kris, because only a bad guy would be okay with all these autolynches.

[Dirk Kris]

((Pssst, don't listen to Alarra - she's just bitter and preggo and mad I stole her schtick. ))

[Amplify]

Dirk Kris, because only a bad guy would be okay with all these autolynches.

((Pssst: It's the night phase. Also, note what The Rogue monk said yesterday if you're going with that line of reasoning.)

I don't want to lynch an innocent.

Really? I do.

(I bet this ends up double posting now, damned forum errors))

[Helgraf]

((Pssst, don't listen to Alarra - she's just bitter and preggo and mad I stole her schtick. ))

((Oh, I'll give you a stick. :: pulls out an aluminium Louisville :: ))

[Andre Fairchilde]

(Update tonight will be in *around* 7 hours. Unless I have the inputs in earlier than that and I'm online.)

[Deathslayer7]

((No problem.
And I seem to have an impostor walking around reading newspapers! ))

Patrick smiles and returns the hug, his arms wrapping around her as he gently kisses the top of her head. It's good to be back, milady. I hope life has been well for you...


((And Shades of gray))

it's better now that you are here. she says, looking up at him. How long do you plan to stay?

[The Bushranger]

it's better now that you are here. she says, looking up at him. How long do you plan to stay?

Well, Patrick says after a long moment, looking back down, that...depends on how long you're willing to put up with a ghost hanging about. He smiles a little lop-sidedly.

I personally just follow logic until later in the game, which is when I start seeing patterns and the like. As I've demonstrated, though, I'm often wrong.

And I would bother to defend myself, but I only ever succeed at self-defense when I'm actually a wolf, so I might as well not bother.

[Deathslayer7]

As long as i have too. she says smiling herself. She then goes and gets dinner ready. Do ghosts eat? she asks, a little uncertain.

[The Bushranger]

I don't think most do, but this one can. He's smiling broadly and happily now. What's on the menu for tonight?

[Deathslayer7]

well i have to go to the store quickly and pick something up. What do you want?

(dead-time for me. got school. )

[The Bushranger]

((No prob. See ya later!))

Would you mind if I went with you? And I think a nice steak would be very good.

[TRM]

Um, what attack? I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the right post, but if you'll highlight it the joke becomes very obvious

Sigh. I wonder why all sorts of people assume that I'm attacking them, which is almost never the case

I don't think you were really attacking me. But let's start a feud anyway and become archenemies. AAAAH.

((Pssst: It's the night phase. Also, note what The Rogue monk said yesterday if you're going with that line of reasoning.)

What did I say?

[Fostire]

As night came so did the grand opening of Gianni's restaurant. It was a full night and Gianni walked amongst his customers making sure everyone was happy.
Everyone seems to be enjoying the food, no surprises there, I made it.

The waiters seem to be doing a good job too, although they seem a bit overwhelmed, maybe I should hire one more. I'll put a sign up tomorrow.

Are those the Smith's? I heard they are good friends with the mayor I'll go talk to them

Hello sir, madam, is everything to your liking?

...

Yes, everything is made by me.
I have some help of course, but I'm the main chef

...

Thank you very much, the secret ingredient is a touch of cinnamon

...

Glad to hear it. If you need anything else, just ask and I will personally serve you.

Where is Enzo? he should have been back hours ago.

Ah, there he is. Finally

So? how did it go?

Not very good Boss.

Did they see you?

I don't think so, but I couldn't find any info on that androgial fella.

Well that's not good, but tell me about it later. Now clean yourself and come help me in the kitchen, plenty of customers tonight.

Right away Boss

[Deathslayer7]

She thinks on this for a moment. Steak needs to be properly marinated for it to be good. I learned a recipe from my grandma which makes good steaks, but it needs a full day to marinate.

We could have steaks tomorrow, as long as you cook them.
