Mafia XIX - Mafia on the Nile - Part II

[duke o' york]

PM me them before I write my next (very short) chapter then Sherlock. I'm not appointing you GM, because you'll tell Skanky who the mafia are. And DrSpikey, and anybody else.

[Spaced Cowboy]

GO figure that you don't trust him. GO figure....

[duke o' york]

Yeah, but you've still got bases left.

Chapter Twelve – Of all the boats in all the world….

Gjramsey was now in charge of the entire ship, and it was his responsibility to hold the vote to reveal the mafia. Before breakfast, the five remaining voyagers all arrived in the dining room and each put a folded sheet of paper onto gjramsey’s table. The purser opened each sheet and announced the latest mafia suspect as being M. Maigret. Guynemer was caught off guard by Miss Marple’s handbag and soon proved to be a talking point for Egyptian fish or curious ducks trying to catch some lunch.
Now that there were only four people left aboard, it made no sense to be so defensive and try to keep apart from everybody else. For all they knew they may well have killed the cruel mafia, though this thought had kept them through many a day previous and proved to be mistaken.
The day was spent on deckchairs just outside the bar, where gjramsey kept popping in to top up their cocktails. Not allowed cocktails himself, he was able to keep his wits about him better than the three detectives who were enjoying the fruits of his hitherto hidden talents. As they all drifted off into a blissful snooze, he was struggling to kepe the Apolyton from hitting the bank as it turned a corner he had not noticed until the last moment. The rocking of the boat disturbed Jim Rockford’s hat, but not his sleep as the sun crept down below the sunshade and started to go about its business of giving the two Americans and the Englishwoman sunburn.
When they woke up, it was almost time for dinner, and so they retired to their cabins to find some aftersun lotion, and to get changed into more fitting attire. Although they were now but four, they still felt the need to dress for dinner.
Jim Rockford was late for dinner though. Racing to cabin 2, the other three found rah on the floor with blood oozing into the carpet. He had been stabbed 42 times with a decorative spear that had been torn from a wooden Indian cigar holder lying on the floor about three feet away. His left hand was pinned to the floor by the spear.
Suddenly no-one had any appetite for yet another helping of gjramsey’s couscous, and they trotted disconsolately to bed, afraid that the mafia might strike again, and aware that they only had one more chance to catch this person before the ship arrived in Luxor.

Who can you trust? Who could you docpile?

[Rasputin]

and still two mafia left... either we all getting dumber or the GM being too tricky !!!!

[duke o' york]

Er, did you actually read the last two chapters Ras?
Look at the murder styles in particular.

[GeoModder]

/me enjoys the pleasantries the Egyptian washing women can offer a believing muslim...

Guynemer was the rope maffia? I look forward for your explanation of the clues, Duke...

[gjramsey]

And then there were 3 left, with one mafia to go. Hmmmm.....Gotta go with Columbo Spaced

and why can't I drink and stear this barge????

[Kassiopeia]

Holy crap! Three of us left, and one of us is the Mafia. It's the climax every GM wants to have (is it not?).

The clues are offering very little in the way of enlightenment, but, methinks Spaced Cowboy's posting style has been way more suspicious than GJRamsey's. SC usually misses a vote every once in a while, as does Ramsey, this time SC hasn't missed a vote while Ramsey has. SC's posts are also always just a line or two, clearly trying to blend in.

Columbo hasn't gotten any votes yet either (IIRC), and Columbo's the kind of guy you think is of no consequence until the last possible moment.

Edit: wow, Ramsey and I came to the same conclusion simultaniously. Let's just hope we're right. (Then again, a Mafia victory is long overdue.)

[Skanky Burns]

Hahaha suckers, it was Ram!!!

Either Miss Marple and I will sail off into the sunset, or I shall die a rather painful death very very soon.

[Snowflake]

So you've trusted the voice from heaven, I see ... And got one whose name started with a "G" ...

[Kassiopeia]

God I hope it's not Ramsey. That'd mean *tko was right in the end, which means that the world as we know it will be coming to an end soon. The four horsemen, the seven angels, et cetera.
