Mafia XVII - Non mortem timemus, sed cogitationem mortis

[DrSpike]

Tuberski was the only one? Hmm, he has been unusually quiet this game.

[Theben]

Tuber has been quiet, but so have others.

Objects tripped over:

round metal object - kicked by snowfire.
brittle something with sharp points - stood on by Guynemer
rope - tangled alva up
Tuberski tripped over nothing interestingly enough, and found MattH fine, seemingly before he started to become ill.
flat and wooden object - stumbled over by Hercules.

Round metal->shield
Brittle with points->Weapon of some sort
Rope-> rope or part of a net
wooden-> Wooden shield?

[Chaunk]

I tend to think they're all gladiator's equipment anyway... and I can stick my neck out on it cos I'm dead already

[Zopperoni]

The objects could also belong to a chariot racer.

Metal --> weaponry or armor
Pointy things --> those things attached to the wheels of the chariot
Rope --> to control the horses with
Wood --> a component of the chariot, the base perhaps.

Also, the first two victims stiffened, whereas the next three have excreted their bowels...

The round metal object is a shield or the gold plate used by Rasputin.
A 11ft long bloody spear, was also mentioned, and found behind Rah 's bar.

Both these were mentioned in a ceremonial context.

Then there is the rope
and the flat wooden board I tripped over. I am puzzled by this and the rope.
There was also straw on the ground at the start. For a horse??

But don't forget the brittle something with sharp points: A trident as used in combat.

and yes Tuberski didn't trip on anything suggesting he knew his way around in the dark.

So to me these suggest a Gladiator or a charioteer and not the priests afterall

Somebody needs to do some explaining and DrSpike that swift move to finger Tuberski is also suspicious.

[Kassiopeia]

I like this theory. We should off the gladiator DrSpike, just to be sure.

[DrSpike]

I think those objects are pretty vague, and could be anything. The clues just mention a round metal and a flat wooden object, with some rope and a brittle object with sharp points. The latter 2 clearly aren't weapons, and the first 2 could be anything.

I think there is a clue in Flameflash's parts in the story, which is why out of the 2 priests I went for Rasputin. We haven't discounted the curse theory.

Of course we should worry about the quiet one sitting there laughing at never getting voted for by never posting. Jamski doesn't usually make an exception in the story without a reason. The fact that Tuberski was the only one not to trip does make me suspicious, and if me being suspicious about that is suspicious Hercules, then so be it.

Edit: And Kassi edited his post to change his vote.

[Theben]

Well, we have 2 gladiators, a charioteer, and a blacksmith.

I'll go with DrSpike based solely on the grounds it'd be fun to pwn him in 2 games at once.

So the rope and the sharp object aren't a net and a trident, those objects used by a gladiator that "clearly aren't weapons"? Like you say, the clues are pretty vague, but combined with the other objects they're fairly damning to the gladiators, especially considering your overly defensive stance, and Tuberski's fleet footedness.

[DrSpike]

Hehe well if pointing out those objects could be anything is too defensive then I'm too defensive.

I don't think any weapons are brittle, and do gladiators use rope?

I think Jamski is sitting there laughing as we make lame attempts at putting his herrings together. I still think what Flameflash is trying to say each time is more important than the objects. I don't think he is trying to confess though.

[Theben]

Gladiators used nets.

Which normally requires half of the cast to die before we can begin...

[FlameFlash]

You see, I think it's either Ras or Tuber...

Recall I've already voted for both before...

Now if next round Tuber gets voted out or killed my theory is shot, but then things will point more to DrSpike... so hopefully we'll nail fairly soon now.

And I'd like to know what I was about to say too!

[joncha]

wot's this? a clue! Kass, Jonny and Snowfire realize that since handling the pimp's dead body, they've all developed quite a nasty Rash.
