268: Bugsy Malone Mafia - Game over. Mod learns lesson

[Adele]

er... Tam, it's been, like, decided you aren't gonna die tonight. Did you miss that? One more vote for "no lynch" (from anyone) puts the plan in action.

Actually, you're the only player who (if telling the truth) is going to have no night activity at all tonight. MeMe's a-killin', Pariah's protectin', Chaotic's investigatin' and us masons will be a-chatterin'.

[Tamuz]

Well, we've decided I won't die, but things may be thrown to the wind.

If meme is telling the truth and there are mafia out there I could get slammed still... always expect the inevitable.

[broomhead]

Vote: no lynch

ah well, what happens happens and i'll accept, i think that puts us into twilight where i'd like to say, i think MeMe is still bad and i am inncent, i won't give anything else, i just like to be on the record.

[Pariah]

Sounds like a plan to me. I promise to protect C_D.

Vote: No Lynch

(Go Go Two No Lynches!)

If Broomhead was right, this isn't necessary.

...

Move along, now...

[broomhead]

so just to clarify, seeing as were not yet in dark, when i am killed and proved town, that will clear adele and fritz?

[Tamuz]

Barring the mod lying--Yes.

[broomhead]

well since night doesn't seem to be coming, I'll get this in the open now, I'll be gone soon, (going to look for colleges) and won't be back till thursday, i don't see this being a problem seeing as I'll be lynched this night, but just for some freak reason i am not, you may want to replace me, I'd rather not be replaced, but i will accept it if you do. and soon of course meaning, i will leave sat.

[Adele]

we only went into twilight 36 hours ago... but if you're due to get back on Thursday then you'd probably be back by the start of "tomorrow", or nearly. The mod is wise, and I wouldn't want to try to second-guess him, but there's very little chance you'll need replacing, even assuming you do survive tonight.

...actually, I'd already let the mod know the day's ended (I seriously have too much time on my hands, plus this twilight seemed pretty dead) so it might be that we hit night before Friday evening. I hope so; I'd like to talk to you at least a little bit tonight say bye-bye.

[vIQleS]

Night falls

No deadline yet...

[vIQleS]

Deadline for night choices: 48 hours from this post.

[vIQleS]

Another day dawns for the citizens of New York. But not all of them...

Adele (Fat sam) - Gangboss has been executed.

[Adele]

Bah!

Go Town.

Here is my investigation. To tell you, whatever I say in this result does not reflect what I think, it's what it says. Pariah is a black fulltime janitor who is obviously guilty of something. He works at a bookshop, but why would a bookshop need a janitor?

The part where broomhead didn't die already suggests that Meme is most likely scum. However, I'd like to have at least a moment of discussion and thinking just incase something might have gone wrong.

[broomhead]

uh, one if i am still alive that means that MeMe is scum, or the doc went off his rocker and saved me because he knew i was town. and i think that adele dying is a sign that me and frizzlier are town too-boot. so lets not bring that up again right now. or it means that MeMe went against her word and did not do her SK thing and stayed in her "safe zone".

Here is my investigation. To tell you, whatever I say in this result does not reflect what I think, it's what it says. Pariah is a black full time janitor who is obviously guilty of something. He works at a bookshop, but why would a bookshop need a janitor?

wait, wasn't pariah supposed to be the doc? or does this still fit his doc-like status? i still haven't seen the movie. and I'd like everyone theory on why more people didn't die, especially me.

[MeMe]

Nope, I targeted broomhead. I don't have a deathwish.

I'm gonna confirm with vIQles right now that my choice was received and processed.

[broomhead]

well perhaps someones choice didn't get sent in, i mean it seemed with viqles's post about how all choices had to be received in 48 hours means someone didn't send in a choice or he didn't get one

[chaotic_diablo]

I'd like to hear from Pariah, Fritzler, and Tamuz. I have an idea what might have happened.

[broomhead]

well if its safe to hear the idea after they talk, please do tell, even if it doesn't pan out. and heres my idea on the happenings, i would like everyone to come forward and say weather they sent out night choices

before

viqles' 48 hour post

[broomhead]

i don't think people are used to the thread being open yet, it's been a long time

[Pariah]

About...? I sent in a night choice, and I protected you.

...

My role PM says I work in Fat Sam's Grandslam Speakeasy, and further research (which was hard to find) says apparently that it's a club, not a bookshop. (Although it could be both, I guess, I can't find anything about a bookshop. If anyone has a link clearing that, I would appreciate it, as I have been unable to find one.) The fact that I'm black isn't even mentioned in my PM, nor is being guilty of something. I find it weird you don't even get anything about Fizzy's dream about tap dancing, because that even made it into my role description.

I find that really, really weird.

Thoughts on MeMe to come later.

[chaotic_diablo]

The investigation result I received does not match up with Pariah's role. Since he claims that he protected me, then my idea is moot. Not because I think he's telling the truth, but because I didn't expect that kind of a response.

Several things did not go right here.
1. Broomhead isn't dead
2. My investigation does not match up with Pariah's role
3. There was only one night kill
4. Adele was killed

@Pariah, I didn't receive anything about fizzy because my investigation said nothing about Fizzy. The only explanation is that one of us is lying or the masons interefered.

[Pariah]

The main thing I dislike about your investigation is how it's not

totally

incorrect, or gives hints that lead to other characters in the move; Fizzy

is

black, and

is

a janitor.

However, it has (apparently) incorrect information about my role in terms of working at a bookshop. It also seems to be set up to incriminate me, with the whole "suspicious" line in there, but in a fashion so you can stay disconnected to it if it took off and lead to a lynching. ("To tell you, whatever I say in this result does not reflect what I think, it's what it says.") It also focuses on the race of Fizzy, which is kind of weird, as it was not mentioned, instead of mentioning tap dancing, which is a very large part of the information I recieved at the beginning of the game.

It pretty much looks like you set me up and messed up on the details.

I'd vote for you right now if I still wasn't confused about the MeMe situation. I kind of thought a situation like this might happen, and that was the reason I asked if it was implied or not eariler. Broomhead, did you get any PMs saying anything strange happened to you?

[chaotic_diablo]

@Pariah, I did some research and I know what happened.
The bookstore is the cover for Fat Sam's speakeasy. Fizzy works as a janitor so in effect, he also works at the speakeasy. In the 1920's speakeasys were illegal, so in the cop view, your obviously guilty of something.

Afraid of being ruined by a rival gang, Fat Sam (John Cassisi), a Prohibition era New York mob boss who runs

a speakeasy hidden behind a bookstore

Fortunately, Bugsy, having been robbed of the two hundred dollars he was planning to use to buy train tickets to California for himself and his own girlfriend, Blousey (Florrie Dugger), is only too willing to come to Fat Sam's aid.

Aha!

Never mind now, suspicions dropped. That makes a great deal of sense.

By the way, how'd you find that? I tried hitting Google with

several

different searchs and it didn't come up.
