Mafia XIX - Mafia on the Nile - Part II

[GeoModder]

Well, let's follow the jest of a ghost and vote GJRamsey then.
Good luck steering the barge past the 'Rapids' next day...

Oh, Kassi. I don't think that I'll be giving out any more clues in the next couple of chapters, because (a) I can't think of any more (), (b) I'm too lazy to even try, (c) you've had enough already, and (d) the clues have been getting progressively easier so the next clue would be "The murderer is Unclear Master", or something equally stupid. Have a good look at what you've got. Who knows, maybe some of the other survivors might want to help you.

Ha the clues point to no one....

Hind sight may make the clues obvious but they are not so far...

Is that you HongHu in your avatar?

Well, seeing as I still have no idea, I'll just jump on the dogpile and vote Geomodder.

[Guynemer]

My most sincere gratitude to Miss Marple for compiling those clues. Sadly, like my esteemed colleague, I am having a difficult time deciphering them.

The plaster around Drummond's mouth interests me. That would seem to suggest a workman of some sort. Most likely a member of the crew. That means either gjramsey or Geomodder. It seems a first mate would be more likely to use plaster than the purser.

Geomodder gets my vote. The "cabin 10" clue is just too obvious... I really don't think we can expect numerical clues to point to the assigned player numbers.


EDIT: Things are looking quite grim... let us hope that we managed to knock off the stabbing Mafia last round, so we can end this game now with Geomodder.

I will make sure I partake in plenty of libations from my bar, sorry Skanky, before hitting the rapids!

Chapter Eleven - Nihilism

Geomodder collected all those aboard into the dining room once more and they all handed him their votes.
“We suspect the mafia of being, er,… Miss Marple,” he said.
“Well I didn’t vote for Miss Marple,” replied Columbo. “Did anybody else? It’s you, isn’t it Geomodder?”
“N-no. I think there needs to be a recount, it was so close.”
“No need for a recount. I’ve already checked them,” said the ship’s purser.
“But….” The captain’s words were cut short by the arrival of Miss Marple, who had missed the voting, but came at the right time to set this straight. The captain’s body fell to the floor with a heavy thud. Shortly, he was pitched into the water, and the six remaining aboard tucked into their breakfast.

Gjramsey now had a heavy task on his hands. Even more so than running the bar, which had curiously been taking up much of his time; so much that his accounts were not as carefully ordered as they had been before. He now had to steer the boat on top of all of his other duties, though thanks to Nuclear Master’s ingenious rope-guided steering device, he only had to keep an eye on whether there were any bends in the river and whether he would need to change the wheel at all. Jim Rockford offered to help in any way, hoping that he might be of more use than Miss Marple obsessively clearing the deck of any loose coils of rope and broken wine bottles (of which there were far more, to be honest). The purser was grateful for their efforts, as it meant that he could spend more time writing his CV to get a decent job far from this accursed boat.

Before dinner, the purser totally forgot to take a tour of the ship as Geomodder had, and there was some surprise when the Earl of Octavian X failed to arrive on time. Hurrying around to his cabin, number 15, they found him on the floor, stabbed 14 times with an African hunting knife that was stuck upright in his chest. The wounds were quite deep, as might have been expected from this size of knife, and the tip of his left pinkie finger had been cut off. Despite a quick search of the cabin, it was nowhere to be found. They sighed in desperation, and returned to the dining room to consider likely suspects, and to prepare their votes. And to eat whatever gjramsey had prepared them that evening.

Down to five. Anyone else excited? Anyone even still interested?

[Spaced Cowboy]

I'm still not sure who the mafias are, but Guynemer seems to be out of character with his long posts.

[duke o' york]

Long posts?

The longest post by anyone else recently was still mostly full of quotes from posts written by me.
However, the length could be a good thing for you all.
Maybe he's just making a last desperate attempt to find the mafia before there is only one person left aboard.

Guynemer
Things are looking bad.

[duke o' york]

Er, an unusual request, but can everyone hurry up with the voting please?
I'll be off work for a week from Tuesday, and would like the game all finished by then if possible. I could PM the details to someone else if it isn't done by Monday evening (GMT), but we only need one more vote for the Guynemer docpile to crush him, and then two for the next unfortunate victim.

[Kassiopeia]

we only need one more vote for the Guynemer docpile to crush him, and then two for the next unfortunate victim.

A-ha. So either Guynemer is the other Mafia and the other one is alive, or the other Mafia has been slain and Guynemer is innocent. Either way, not good.

Things are looking bad.

Octavian may have been the other Mafia. Optimism, dear fellows.

[Ljube]

I can take over as GM Duke. I mean, you won't be telling me anything new since I already know the identities of both mafias
