The droning on and on and on and on of the arguments bored me, and I found myself drifting off to sleep, startling awake every so often to the vibrating of my Blackberry.

I had just switched it off and was settling down for another snooze when I was awoken by GreyICE jumping onto the table, lunging at Ghostlin, calling him the scum of the earth. He drew out bills and receipts and threw them at Ghostlin, screaming that he'd been cheated.

Ghostlin backed away from his accuser, trying to placate him, but his words just made the rest of the crowd hungrier for his blood. Finally, they surged towards him, stringing him up.

Ghostlin,

Mafia Zaibatsu Member

, was lynched D2.

Breaking News

Shortly before we were all about to bed down for the night, sleeping in the office yet again, there was a buzzing at the front door. I sent the secretary to go see who it was; she came back with a spectacled gentleman who introduced himself as Henry Dewey, a partner at the prestigious law firm of Dewey, Cheethem, & Howe, carrying a rather oversized briefcase.

"Did someone sign a funding contract?" I asked, overjoyed at the news, but Mr. Dewey shook his head.

"I am here on the behalf of the estate of one Mr. Ghostlin to discharge a provision in his last will and testament. I believe there is a Mr. RedCoyote here?"

We dutifully shoved RedCoyote forward.

Mr. Dewey cleared his throat and said, officiously, "Mr. RedCoyote, as per Mr. Ghostlin's last instructions, I submit to you the remnants of his estate. Good day, sir."

With that, he handed RedCoyote the oversized briefcase. RedCoyote asked, "What is th...", but Mr. Dewey cut him off: "I said, good day!"

Then Mr. Dewey left, and we all settled in for the night.

Voidedmafia replaces RedCoyote

[Magua]

I was awoken at 5:45am by [expletive deleted] Rebecca [expletive deleted] Black's autotuned voice digging into my skull. Over and over and over and over and [expletive deleted] over.

I pulled myself to my feet, only vaguely aware that around me other everyone else was looking for the source of the sound, so that they could [expletive deleted] kill it.

We swarmed in the direction of IceGuy's cubicle, all the while being informed (repeatedly) about the order of certains days of the [expletive deleted] week.

In retrospect, he was really lucky that he was already dead by the time we got there. Someone smashed his iPhone in with their foot, bringing sweet, blessed silence back to the office.

"[expletive deleted] has Rebecca [expletive deleted] Black as a ringtone? No way he was a good guy," I growled.

IceGuy,

Mafia Cartel Member

, was killed Night 2.

It is now

With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

Spoiler: Abridged Ability Glossary

• Accountant (Targeted):
  Choose another player. You will learn how much money this player possessed at the start of this Night.
• Blind Bid (Day):
  For the remainder of the Day, only you can see the current bid for auctions. To everyone else, it will be hidden. This will be announced in-thread. Other players will be informed if they are, or are not, the highest bidder as normal.
• Bulletproof (Personal):
  You are protected from a single Night-kill targeting you this Night.
• Federal Reserve Chairman (Day):
  Every living player (including yourself) immediately gains $200. This will be announced in-thread.
• Gravedigger (Targeted):
  Choose another player who has died. You will receive all of the abilities they had when they died. This activation and the dead player who was chosen will be announced in-thread, but not who activated it or what was received.
• Hitman (Personal):
  If you activate “Night-kill” in the same night you activate “Hitman”, “Night-kill” will ignore one ability that would stop the kill from working (ie, ignore one roleblock or protection).
• Night-kill (Targeted):
  Choose another player. That player will die unless protected.
• Vote Freezer (Day):
  Choose another player who is voting, but is not voting for No Lynch. Their vote is now frozen and cannot be changed for the rest of the Day. This will be announced in-thread. This will not affect the lynch threshhold.

[Ethos]

Fish in a fucking barrel. Fish in a fucking barrel.

Reg and I will reread the thread one more time, see if we can't sniff out the last mafia.

[GreyICE]

This is hysterical.

Are you seriously fucking telling me that no townies have died, and we're down three scum?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Called it. IceGuy:Ghostlin as scum. Likely working together.

[Ethos]

I love hydraing with Regfan. We always catch scum. We're setting a dangerous town-meta precedent though ;_;

I will talk it over with Regfan first, but top three for last scum are (Pere, Chaos, Mal), in that order.

If anyone finds anything in the game that clears any of them, lemme know.

[Ethos]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Called it. IceGuy:Ghostlin as scum. Likely working together.

Also, no, they flipped two separate factions. This is 2:2:9. We need to find Ice's partner.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

They both flipped red?

Unless you mean Cartel/Zeujddjdjejd are different?

In which case, HN is most likely last scum.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Oh, that makes sense.

And it files with my original theory!

I was FUCKING RIGHT!

Vote: Newman

I want 4/4

[Ethos]

Meh, I'm not for sure Ice+Newman are scum. It is possible it was a bussing attempt by Newman to try to save his ass and gain town cred, but at the same time Ice really really pushed the newman lynch, something I can't see scum doing with one partner and an unlikley access to night kills.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

That reminds me.

Scum!Ghostlin gives Last Will to RC?!?

P-Edit:

Cross bussing? It's viable, considering that yesterday was going to be MS untilGI replaced in.

I really feel like they both were under suspicion, and they needed ONE of them to gain some town cred.

[hiphop]

I killed Iceguy. I will be back in a couple of hours.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I killed Iceguy. I will be back in a couple of hours.

No shit....

[Ethos]

Vote PeregrineV

Cross bussing is super possible and as I said fits the situation, but the manner in which Icey went about it didn't seem like bussing to me.

I like Peregrine mainly because he got really touchy when we mentioned him+Icey as a good shot. He said it was interesting that we suddenly shifted him to scum with Icey, but toally ignored taking a stance on whether icey should be shot or not.

P. Edit: Lol be nice, he got us another mafia.

[malpascp]

I killed Iceguy. I will be back in a couple of hours.

No shit....

No shit at all.

What actions do we need to know before we lynch today?

[Ethos]

Also, we need Federal Reserve Chairman today. No one jack up the price. But it is 9v1 today and 1800 dollars to town vs 200 to mafia is a must have. If we get this, we win, period.

[malpascp]

We should have someone that has 300$ or more to bid them on FRC.

[Ethos]

Anyone with a big wallet can do it, hell even if they're scum the minute they refuse to use it we lynch them.

In fact forcing a scum read to bid on it is a genius idea. If that person gets anonymously out bid, we know they are town. It literally stops mafia from jacking up the price without clearing a scummy person. So yeah, here is what we do.

We get a scummy person to bid like 15 bucks on Chairman. If they are scum, oh well, they have to use it anyway. If they get outbid anonymously, they are then cleared. This will surely stop mafia from jacking up the price.

I am so awesome sometimes.

[GreyICE]

Unnecessary. FRC is a 5 day deadline, RC can bid on it for pete's sake, if scum jack it up, someone else can come in on top of them, and in any case RC will have his money untied before NK deadline.

I'm ignoring the last will shit.

[Ethos]

No, we get a scum read to bid on it. Makes more sense. If anything, they will be out some money.

[GreyICE]

No, we get a scum read to bid on it. Makes more sense. If anything, they will be out some money.

Works for me. I nominate ChaosOmega.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Guys, I am going to take Gravedigger. Anyone outbidding me on Gravedigger WILL BE FOUND OUT.

/softclaim

[Ethos]

That's fine with me, I don't remember him ever outting any purchases. Good pick.

So if he gets outbid, he is town. Otherwise his alignment is unknown, but if he is town, we got this for super cheap. Honestly at this point, we could assign one person to each power we want/ don't want scum to have, and use this logic across the board. We could order them in order of usefullness, then correlate that and make people (in order of scumminess) bid on said items. So if you list was Pere->Mal->Chaos from scummiest to least scummy, and we decided the order of importance of skills was Chairman->Night Kill->Gravedigger, we could put Pere on Chairman, Night Kill on Mal, and Gravedigger on Chaos. These would all be confirmable.
