Be Excellent To Each Other

Officer Gubbins ducked back behind the crate and loaded his last clip into his police-issue sidegun. He had no idea who the man was across the other side of the warehouse floor, or what he was doing there - all he knew was that the guy was doing his damndest to put a bullet in him. Gubbins leapt out from behind the crate, charging towards his opponent, emptying his gun as he did so in a death-or-glory charge. It paid off as he saw one of his slugs enter the guy's left eye-socket and the back of his head erupt in a crimson spray. At the same time he felt a hammer blow to his chest - maybe he hadn't got as lucky as he thought.

With his last strength Gubbins dragged himself over to the corpse of the man he'd killed and checked the pockets. What he found confirmed his fears. This guy was a family man, and that meant trouble. Trouble that Gubbins wouldn't be around to deal with, however.

Mr Dom was a Mafia Roleblocker!

Mr Dom Sucks.

[VOTE: JBR]

[Vote: Unvote]

Mr Dom sucks you, more like.

Ahem, sorry, I don't know where that came from. Hello world!

What the hell? So mr Dom doesn't even get to play? Was there a day zero thread I have missed?

I'd mistaken a post in the signup thread for him wanting to play, but instead he can't because his missus is about to drop a sprog. So he got to kick the whole thing off by dying!

Dom, good work, but, y'know, also rubbish.

These Mafia types will take out their anger on us now

[vote: kalmar]

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.
[vote: Grim...]

Hi world.. So Kalmar & Grim.. are at it.

I am the mafia Don.

He started it. He's probably Mafia. I am not. Lynch Grim...

Is there a reason the counter doesn't record votes for you, Grim...?

Or possibly votes by Kalmar, but I'm a suspicious devil at heart.

One would suspect that Grim... is voting for kalmar, as the faux-Scotsman praised Dom's role in killing our police officer.

The bastard.

Oops, I thought Dom was the police officer. Ahem.

Carry on.

[vote: unvote]

Dunno.
I'm going to edit Kalmar's 'unvote' post a few times. I'll put it back when I'm done.

My elipsis is wrong in the player list, you Word copy / paster you

Fucking autocorrect. Ta.

Mr Dave's still alive at the start of day one. That's a sure sign that he's suspicious.

Cool. Tell us who the goons are and we can get this wrapped up before tea time.

Not a clue.

Oh go on, just one.

Quiet in here, innit?

Yes.

Too quiet.

<oozes a bit, even tho I really shouldn't be able to>

Sorry all, got scared away by all that gunfire, is it safe to come out yet?

Ok.

JBR.

Happy?

Yay! I got a mention! I'm in the game.

Not on the game. No prossies round here, more's the pity - where does one go to loose off one's load?

Hello , i'm here and not sure who we should vote for , I do wonder if Mr Dom's role was "chosen" for him so a Mafia person is really gone , or if it was more done for dramatic license ?

It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, vigourously stuffed with minced conundrum.

Is everybody already dead or something. Am I alone in the world now? Oh well, more time to read.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I DROPPED MY GLASSES!

Cruel, cruel world!

Meh. I'll have to have a wank instead.

I think, in absense of any idea, I'll chuck out a vote for someone.

Mmm.

[vote: JBR]

Go officer Gubbins! A hero 'til the end. I don't trust none of you folks though. I'll be looking out for signs. Like pasta sticking out your pockets or something.

Sorry everyone, I overslept.
Anyone know what's going on?

Day 1 ends 8pm today.

We do need some votes - we've all played this enough to say very little early on and let someone else take the flak.

So, as the first person to refer to that, I'm just inciting you all to join in voting for me, aren't I? A little foolish.

[vote:JBR]

Way ahead of you.

We all could take turns putting the boot into Mr Dom, you know, for the kicks.

No?

*Goes back to silently staring suspiciously at everyone else*

As I've got nothing better and we're in danger of getting to nightfall without a lynch:

[vote:JBR]

Mr Dom's dead body is not a toy, gentlemen. Hooray for me being the only one in the frame - other than Kalmar, so

[vote: kalmar]

Well yes, of course, but you were on your own at the time, at least. *Now* we've got some movement.

I am going to [vote:kalmar] to try and get two people into the fray, but let's face it, we have nothing to go on. That said, why was the first post of the day a vote for JBR? and then an instant unvote, seems very weird. Furthermore, why has no one else questioned this? Am I missing something?

Sound and fury signifying nothing, I think. I certainly took no offence from it.

I wanted to see if the counter worked.

Fair enough. I was missing something then.

Nothing new!

Without wishing to cause "panic", we've got 2.5 hours to find four votes.
It looks like we'll all be safe in bed tonight.

Well, we'll all get to go to bed, at least.

In a way, it matters to me less;

With no serial Killer, and a dead Mr Dom, there's only one anti-town night action.

And we may have a vigilante of our own.
