Game : MAFIA VI - Reaper's Pleasure

[Lavarinth]

Night has fallen.

[AA7Dragoon]

Well you know what I mean.  The outcome hasn't happened yet. 

[Aekenon]

What you don't seem to understand is that more people will die if we fail to get to the bottom of this.  For something so important, it's never too early to begin discussing our next move.  A detective might even find our input helpful to his investigation this night.

What's wrong, AA7?  I hope this chatter isn't making you nervous.

[AA7Dragoon]

lol, if somebody dies tonight, the hit will bring us closer to knowing who it is.  Patience is important.  But if you want to kill everyone off as quickly as possible, we should all be wary. 

[Aekenon]

Calm yourself, AA7.  I haven't said anything about killing anyone, nor have I even accused anyone of anything.  That's a nasty conclusion you've jumped to, I must say.  Though, given the current circumstance, I can understand a little... paranoia.

But here's what I can't understand... why are you trying to halt all talks on the matter?  Why is it so important to you that we wait until another innocent life is snuffed out before our investigation continues?  Yes, we need to be patient, and shouldn't start accusing each other wildly, but... waiting for someone to die before we do anything?  That's just absurd.  Human lives aren't something we should spend so casually!

[Milldawg]

Aekenon, I totally agree that we need to find the killer as soon as possible, but remember that the first "mafia kill" is just Ricky making up a random story, and so the only real "evidence" we have is the lynching. So we should act as quickly as possible, but only when we have some evidence. I for one don't want to be killed before even getting a chance to figure things out for myself.

As for the lynching, it was ZILLA. HE IS ZILLA. You don't have to be a mafioso to kill Zilla. You don't even have to be sane. We had to kill SOMEONE...might as well be someone who clearly doesn't even care.

So as much as I dislike just letting another innocent die, there's nothing we can do to prevent it (except the doctor, of course), and we won't find out anything useful until the death occurs. Furthermore, the next ground decision (lynching) doesn't even occur until after the death, so even if we did figure out who the mafiosi are, we wouldn't be able to act on it until after the next innocent dies. It is a difficult fact to live with, but those are the rules of the game.

Also, attracting attention to yourself by accusing everyone of everything is usually a surefire way to get onto the mafia's hitlist. Laying low might be a sign of being a mafioso, but it might also be a sign of wanting to avoid attention. I wouldn't be surprised if RCCola were the detective.

So I suggest chilling out until the mafia's first REAL victim is announced, and then begin the discussion in earnest after that. There's really not much we can gain from making accusations before that.

[Lavarinth]

THIS IS MADNESS! LYNCH MILLDAWG IMMEDIATELY AT SUNRISE!

[Aekenon]

...Uh, let's give Lavarinth a round of applause for his input, everyone!


Anyway, I see your point, Milldawg, and I apologize for my outburst.  But... consider this: our resident Mafiosos are, quite possibly, still deciding who to kill as we speak.

I'll submit that there's probably no getting around one of us dying tonight, but I'm not going to stand by and let one of our deaths go to waste.  A "hit" by itself will merely show that the unfortunate victim couldn't possibly be a Mafioso, which frankly isn't very helpful.  But, a certain kill could be very revealing depending on the banter that took place prior to that sad sap's death, you see?  Without words being hurled left and right, it would be harder to see the logic behind the choice...

In addition, our random chatter may even help the doctors and detectives decide who to make their respective targets.  For instance, if a detective were to investigate me tonight, it would be due to the understandable amount of suspicion I've carelessly placed upon myself, rather than it being just a random pick.

[Lavarinth]

With RCCola completely in silence, it's rather difficult to try to determine who is who.

[Ricky_Honejasi]

During the night, RCCola was just driving quietly in his car ... it was peaceful.

Then he saw a gas truck driving near him, kind of odd that late in the night but anyway. It was suspicious as anything else it could ever be.

However, the gas truck did seem to follow him somehow, kind of creepy but ultimately the driver could somehow end up using the same roads by coincidence ...

... until RCCola tried to turn right in a close quarters road and the gas truck did try to push him in some corner so he couldn't leave. RCCola's both car doors were unopenable as the left side had the truck completely in opening's way and the right side was stuck on a building's wall.

Via his left car mirror, he noticed that some gas was leaking from the back of the truck. Definitively not a good sign.

The shadowly truck rider was lighting very calmly a cigarette with a match outside of the truck and he was way too close to that gas line from the truck's leak.

Then he drops the match on the gas line ... the truck shortly went on inferno flames and RCCola's car caught fire as well with him inside it. RCCola was a living torch unable to escape his predictament.

The shadowly truck rider slowly walk away with his cigarette and with a sadistic smile on his face.

The next morning, news reported RCCola became a pile of ash because he completely burn up inside his car. Even his car did seem like some gigantic plastic burned up toy.

One thing is sure : his ash will ensure that RCCola served humanity once if he somehow never did before as his ash was planted as nourishment for some randomly farm mixed with excrements and such.

RCCola was fatally burned by a twisted plan of the mafia.

The day rise.

[Milldawg]

OH SHIT

I guess he wasn't the mafia...unless the mafia are crazy suicidal. But yeah, Aekenon, that is a good point too. The doctor and detective need time to decide who to investigate and protect, and what better way than to discuss things?

Anyway, it is daytime now. Lavarinth apparently wants to lynch me...ok. But that's not very helpful. And now with RCCola dying, it's really difficult to figure out ANYTHING. One possible line of thought is, "who among us would be likely to kill the silent guy?" vs. "who would be likely to kill the most ouspoken?" But I don't really know any of you that well, so that's not very useful from my end. Pretty sure I would be dead if Lavarinth were mafia, so it's probably not him

[Aekenon]

And are we dealing with just one Mafioso, or two?  We still can't be sure that Zilla was actually one of them.

Let's take a look at our current suspects, and review their activities thus far, even if there haven't been many yet.

Aekenon: That's me.  I'd like to say I've been fighting bravely against the mafia this whole time, but I suppose I haven't really done anything besides just open my mouth a bit too often.  And I started the charge against Zilla.

Lavarinth: A respected member of our group.  He seems to be fairly active in trying to get to the bottom of this. He voted to lynch Zilla, and he's... recently shown possible interest in lynching Milldawg.

AA7Dragoon: Another well-known figure in our little burg.  He supported my suspicions against Zilla (though he didn't actually vote in the end), but then immediately and inexplicably began to suspect me.  He's acting strangely, I think, but who can blame him?  These are trying times.

Thalraxal: ...I don't really know much about him.  He's been quiet during our meetings.  Basically, his only actions so far have been joining the mob against Zilla.

Milldawg: A man with experience in these matters. Oddly, Milldawg started things off by echoing Zilla's "MUCKY DID IT".  But then went in with the Zilla-lynching crowd towards the end of the day.  He's since exchanged banter with me.


So, as it stands (on the surface, anyway)...

AA7 suspects me.  I suspect no one in particular.  Milldawg hasn't shown any suspicions one way or another since Zilla.  Thalraxal is still deep in thought or something.  And Lavarinth is itchin' for a lynchin' for Milldawg.  Maybe.


...Yes, this isn't very helpful.  Really, I trust everyone here, so this is hard.  Well, I don't know Thalraxal very well, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now regardless.

[Milldawg]

I'm less inclined to trust Lavarinth given that he is out to get me, but that's not really any sort of evidence, just a personal thing. As for actually lynching someone...I don't know. As i said, I doubt Lavarinth would have killed RCCola if he were mafia, so I'm not gonna vote for him. We still haven't heard from the detective (or at least no one has suggested that they might be the detective or that they have hard evidence for anything), so either the detective is already dead, playing it safe (to avoid attracting mafia attention), or simply didn't find out anything useful. Arghh it's so hard to do anything with so little evidence.

[Lavarinth]

You're both pretty elaborate in your statements as to why you're both not mafia.
