Mafia 7 - Appearances Can Be Deceiving

[Zopperoni]

I just re-read the crime scene report:

How do we know it's Drogue then?

[vovan]

Well, face isn't the only way to identify a person, you know.

Drogue was a former infantry officer right? He even had an injury to prove that he has seen the action: his left hand was missing. He said this happened during one of the charges, when the general didn't think through the plan carefully enough, and Drogue's infantry division got under attack of the enemy cavalry. They put up a good fight, but most of the men got slaughtered almost immediately. Towards the end, just as Drogue was reloading the rifle one last time, an enemy soldier galloped towards him and unsheathed the sword, aiming for the head. Instinctively, Drogue ducked and threw his hands in front to protect himself. The sword cut the left hand off cleanly at the wrist and the tip went through the left cheek. Drogue collapsed from exhaustion and blood loss and lost consciousness. The enemy cavalry never stopped to check if he was dead and galloped off.

That's how we know it was Drogue. The left hand was missing from the body, and one could clearly see that it hadn't been cut off any time recently.

Guynemer

I still think catching the mafia in the first round should count. Especially after all the times they haven't been caught.

[Skanky Burns]

Remember that we are trying to get a tie between 2 people here. We do not want the mafia offed in the first round. That happened last game and most of the village died because of it.

People who aren't make this a tie are automatically more suspicious than the rest of us. Isn't that right, Rah?

I agree that the no-kills during the first two rounds rule should go though.

[MattH]

Hah, that's what you get for stabbing me Guynemer!

[CapitanGarlic]

Hmm...Someone who would go after the police (or at least, what there is of the police) first thing. I would never expect that from organized crime...

Still, I shall throw my hat in with the majority and vote Guynemer.

just gathering evidence right now


Zopperoni

[Nikolai]

Guynemer is dead.

[Skanky Burns]

Hmmm, CG and Nikolai are acting rather suspicious, actively trying to avoid finishing this round in a tie. Something to keep in mind.

I change my vote to Zopperoni.

[Nikolai]

Beg your pardon? Trying to avoid finishing the round? If it's something I'm doing, it's going with the docpile, since I don't know who else to vote for. And that should do the opposite of what your post is saying, namely finishing this round.
You, on the other han, will always be suspicious after last round.

[Jamski]

Did we really get Pave as the Mafia last game, and catch him with the docpile we started before he even struck? We could have saved the whole village! I can't beleive that.

He said ending the round in a tie. You do realise if the round ends in a tie the GM roles a die to decide which one dies, but will never kill the mafia. Since if the Mafia dies on the first 2 turns, he is replaced without us knowing, you don't want to kill him on the first 2 turns. So the only person trying not to tie then would be the mafia. Hence you docpiling when others are aiming for a tie is extremely suspicious

[Adagio]

Pave is the mafia. Hiding as a priest is the best disguise

I'm not totally sure I understood it fully, but I'll try! I thought docpiling was what everybody wanted here? Seems so often at least. I want to have "something" to go after when voting, but since we are in the start of the game, I decided to join in docpiling. I guess I should be careful with that with Skanky around. He was after me last round also, but then again he was the Mafia, so it's highly unlikely that he is Mafia this time too...

Guynemer

[Pave]

Zopperoni, just for having a tie.

Have you ever noticed, that the mafia is always a new one, without any expirience. That leaves out for example Jamski, Skanky and me.

[Adagio]

But there's still a small chance for it to be an ex-mafia chosen as the mafia

[alva]

My vote isn't going to have a big impact, so I vote guynemer too, to make certain.

[Nubclear]

How dare he vote for me!
I change my vote to him!!!

[rah]

Hmmm forgot about that tie thing. But I'm at home napping today so I'm too lazy to change my vote. Besides we got the mafia in the first round last time. Maybe we can do it two in a row.

[Nikolai]

People, I was just thinking of something: If we take the Mafia now, and takes the next one before the three rounds is over(highly unlikely, but still a possibility!), what will happen then? Will there be appointed another Mafia, or wil we win then?

[vovan]

After a long meeting, the villagers finally decided to execute one of their own. Neither Pave nor the blacksmith were present at the meeting, but their votes wouldn't have been able to change anything, since more than half the village came to the same conclusion: Guynemer, the blacksmith, is a murderer and must be made safe, through execution, as soon as possible.

The angry crowd, led by the village banker, Tassadar, burst into the smithy. Guynemer was nowhere to be seen. It seemed as if he'd left. The mob looked around, and the villagers, disappointed and still grumbling, were about to go home, when they heard someone at the door. Someone was humming a tune and heading for the smithy. The door opened and there was Guynemer, in a very good mood, whistling a tune. Apparently, his trip was successful, and he was quite pleased with himself.

Guynemer closed the door behind him and turned around. His eyes widened at the sight of numerous villagers, all standing there, staring it him angrily. The man gave a grin and a high-pitched frightened laugh. That's when Tassadar cried: "Get the bastard!", grabbed the blacksmith by the hair and tried to smash his head against the anvil. Unfortunately for the banker, years of work at the forge have made the blacksmith's muscles strong, and he was able to set himself free from the grip of Tassadar. But when another eight villagers jumped at him, even his force wasn't enough.

Guynemer was tied up, and his hand was put on the anvil. The villagers wanted him to admit he was the Mafia before disposing of the man. So, they hit his fingers, one by one, with the large hammer, until none were left to smash. Guynemer screamed in pain, but never admitted to being the mafia. The same procedure was done to his toes, still to no avail. Finally, as someone proposed to smash his genitals, too, Guynemer realized that death was better than this suffering and screamed: "Yes! I AM the mafia! Are you happy now?"

"YES!" responded Tassadar and stuck an unfinished dagger, that lay nearby, right through Guynemer's heart.

Satisfied, the villagers went to their homes. There is nothing to worry about now, and so everyone has regained a jolly mood. Upon the riddance of the village from the Mafia, everyone decided to celebrate, and went to Skanky's pub to get some ale. There, a surprise awaited them, however.

On the bar lay a small hammer, drenched in blood. Its head had the shape of the wounds on Drogue's face. Next to it lay Drogue's golden tooth with a small piece of flesh still oddly attached to it, and a piece of paper. Skanky came up to the bar and took the note with trembling hands. He got so nervous, he could barely unroll it. When he finally managed to do so, he saw writing scribbled in blood: "I keep on hearing that they have caught me. But they won't fix me yet..."

This does indeed sound like it, doesn't it?
*Nikolai is getting confused*

[vovan]

Wouldn't you admit to anything, when your genitals are about to be smashed with a blacksmith's hammer?

[Nikolai]

Yes, that might be true! That sounds, when I think of it, very true!

[Nikolai]

When will you post next time btw? I'm going to bed now, and are going to school tomorrow(a long day), so I hope that I won't miss next voting round?

[Jamski]

/me waits in his bed, with his eyes open the whole night long *

[Guynemer]

Well that's a fine how-do-you-do. At least I got to keep my important bits.

Mental note: never leave a Mafia game, or they'll turn on you like a pack of ravenous wolves.


Someday, vengence shall be mine!
