Besides this game loves irony too much..
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -
The Final Act
Only three remained.
Hercules, the bank teller. ADG, the food store owner. Spaced Cowboy, the silent person whose profession no one remembered any longer.
The men looked at each other, full of suspicion.
"I think ADG is the Mafia", Hercules opened the discussion.
ADG scoffed. "Nonsense. You, indeed, are the evil Mafia, and you have been trying to manipulate us all along."
Spaced Cowboy stood between the men, looking from one man to the other. He knew he was not the Mafia, and his choice was going to be a very crucial one.
"Before we continue, do you think the second Mafia is dead?" ADG asked.
"Yes", said Hercules. "Remember that drawing Pave made with his own blood? He was trying to make a V, not an L. V for Vovan. Vovan was the Mafia, and he got killed by the other Mafia, much to our own fortune. Also the leather glove left behind in Ghengis's house: blacksmiths use tough leather gloves, I think."
Spaced Cowboy nodded. "That does make sense." He then pondered, considered and thought about his own vote.
"A funny thing, you know", he finally said. "The first three persons impaled by the other Mafia... they were all farmers. Indeed, they were the food suppliers of our hamlet.
Also, that one morning when FlameFlash found a victim of the Mafia, he was going to get some food from the farmers.
Additionally, when Skanky Burns let out his final breath, he said "T". Perhaps that meant "three", as in "three letters". Rah, however, is dead.
What does this bring us to? Who was the food shop owner who was betrayed by the farmers and who killed them in revenge? Who was the other Mafia aside the corrupt blacksmith? It was ADG!"
A slight moment of silence. Then, without any further words, Hercules and Spaced Cowboy nodded to each other and grabbed ADG, who was reaching for a knife he had in his pocket. Hercules clamped ADG down to the ground, Spaced Cowboy took the knife, and slashed ADG's throat open.
The men stood up and looked at each other. They would have smiled, if the demise of the two Mafia hadn't cost the lives of twenty innocent villagers.
THE END

Yep... I was the one who killed all the farmers...
My first kill was number 13 who signed up (13 wasn't a lucky number for him)... and since he was a farmer, I decided to take out the other farmers as well

Well played ADG!
I can't believe we actually got both of the mafia.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Bonus points to Jamski, who got it right, and Skanky Burns, who actually got the blood clue. Too bad they were both dead before they found out.
You can see how exciting this was for the GM: I thought you were all done for, but then ADG offed Vovan, and now after many hours of suspense you managed to off ADG on the final round. A truly great ending for a Mafia game. I didn't want to spoil it with a coin toss.
Thank you Vovan for not spilling the beans when you were killed. You and ADG both played very well, despite my not so subtle attempts to out you.

Yeah, this was the most interesting Mafia game for now (or at least one of them)... it wasn't until the very end I started believing vovan was the mafia... (It wasn't Skanky Burn's evidence that trigged the kill though)... nice played all

Congrats both. I'll leave this open till tomorrow so everyone can add their congrats.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

/me sighs.
And I was voting ADG until I switched to rah and subsequently died... oh well. It was fun.I'm not conceited, conceit is a fault and I have no faults...

From an observer's standpoint, GREAT GAME!
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

Hehe. Once again there is proof: listen to the dead! When Skanky got Kassi's "blood L" clue, I went all. But then no one paid any attention to him. 
And then Guynemer got the defenestration thing, and I my fate was sealed.

I am delighted it's over. I can hardly believe the eventual outcome. Thanks to Spaced for his final decision.
I was dead meat some turns ago. That RAh vote/ Vovan kill within 24 hours was amazing.
