Over the past few weeks, mafias have been popping up all over. In cities across the countryside: from idle Vallensburg to the larger Garren’s Creek, towns across the country have had mafias formed by angry citizens. Some succeeded, and some failed. The largest attacks seemed to take place at Turroville and Townelle, moderately large towns located in the southern fields. Luckily, both failed (well, Townelle did fall to a ‘Duo Killer’ faction, but that’s not really a mafia).
Now, our attention shifts to the proud city of Capitalismo. The capital city, it’s a shining city overlooking everything else, with large buildings, happy people, and amazing leadership, under the head of Governor Scott Zelchmen. Everything seems fine. At least, it was, until the governor held an emergency meeting.
“Citizens of Capitalismo, today I have shocking news. I have received word from that the towns of Turroville and Townelle have both been hit by mafias. I also suspect that the mafia may strike here next.
Whether or not these attacks are related is not our concern. What is, however, is that measures be taken to prevent such a disaster here. A messenger from the countryside, however, has a plan. To avoid being put on the mafia’s hit list, his identity will not be revealed.”
The messenger then took the podium. He was greeted with cheers from the audience.
“Thank you, citizens of Capitalismo. According to my research, the people of Townelle used a lynching system to resolve the problem. While that may seem barbaric, according to my papers here, the same was done at Turroville with excellent results. So, what I’m saying is, we should try it here.”
“I’m not so sure,” said the mayor, “I was thinking more of trying...”
“Do you want everyone here to die, or not?” asked the stranger, “The mafia is smart, cunning, sneaky, cruel, and will use every trick in the book to achieve victory. To prevent us from being screwed over, we’ll can your investigative method and try lynching. OK?”
“I’ve brought with me this computerized device,” the stranger said, showing a fancy gizmo. “This device will be able to detect if any of us says ‘Vote: Person.” When the alarm goes off, whoever’s name is on the screen gets lynched. Obviously, the alarm goes off when majority is reached.”
“Still,” said the governor, “this crude system is far below the ethics of-“
“Screw ethics!” shouted someone from the crowd, “We want blood! If the mafia thinks they can just come in here and kill innocents, they can think again!”
“Precisely what I was thinking,” said the messenger. “If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to do some more research on the history of such occurrences.”
The mayor, outmatched by the arguments of the people, was forced to go with the lynching method. They began to charge up the batteries of the vote count device just in case.

Arriving at his hotel room, the messenger hung up his coat, before turning and seeing two people standing right behind him.
Both of them had guns, but besides looking like they just got out of the hospital, looked oddly familiar. However, they didn’t fire the guns. They instead identified the stranger and holstered their weapons.
“So,” asked one of them, “how’d it go?”
“Hook, line, and sinker,” the messenger replied, “give someone some device to make something easier, and they’ll probably do what you want.”
“It’s getting dark,” said the other stranger, “we’d better get out there. Who do you think we need to take out first?”
“I don’t know. But no matter what, this is going to be freaking hilarious.”
