Mafia XIX - Mafia on the Nile - Part II

[gjramsey]

I can safely say that the world as we know it is safe!

[Snowflake]

Oh wow this sure is quick. So?

[Kassiopeia]

I created a sign-up thread for Mafia 20 since this one is about to end.

[Snowflake]

One is not allowed to be in Mafia 20 if he is in assassins right?

In all fairness, I think that should be the case.

Great, finally over


Now let's get the ending...

Chapter Thirteen – A Luxory Cruise

The three remaining travellers gathered in the dining room for the final vote, all well aware that their choices would have drastic effects for the mafia was still of their number.
Gjramsey and Miss Marple both came to the same conclusion: that Spaced Cowboy was the cruel murderer of so many of their fellow voyagers, and they fought him to the ground. The purser held him down and the old lady used her brown leather handbag for the last time to knock out the (even more) rumpled detective. They dragged him to the side of the ship and dumped into the river, then slowly turned to eye one another with suspicion. Was one of them still the mafia? Had they voted correctly?

Neither made a sudden move towards the other, and realisation slowly dawned that they had chosen correctly. They fell back into the chairs of the dining room and breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their fortune in surviving the vicious attacks of the mafia aboard the cursed ship the Apolyton.
Eventually, she came into Luxor and the two surviving passengers disembarked to questioning from the police and press. Suddenly Miss Marple had no wish to look at the wonders of the Valley of the Kings, and returned to Cairo by aeroplane as soon as the police allowed her. She went back to her quiet life in St Mary Meade, with the occasional murder, but not so many as to disturb her unduly, and none that she was unable to solve. The purser was big news in the Egyptian media, and became quite the celebrity after his appearances on many talkshows. Eventually he was given the opportunity to start a recording career, and was pretty much a constant at the top of the Egyptian charts until he went to Vegas to finish his days as the warm-up act to the King. The strange decorations of many casinos made him feel at home, though the crowds were not as keen on his Arabic soul style as they had been back home.

cant be finished till the clues explained !!!!

[Ljube]

Congratulations Miss Marple!

And Mr. Ram!

[Adagio]

Congratulations

[Ljube]

Repeated reference of tennis ball. Eleven other forks for the twelve apostels.

These are the clues that led me to suspect Spaced. But same clues proved wrong for GJ.

[Ljube]

The leprechaun is an elf.

Elf is eleven in German.

Here is a breakdown of the various clues that I put together earlier today. I hope that all of the links work, and that you understand all of them. If not, ask Jamski for help. The two murderers have already been identified (despite not being those chosen by Ljube ), so the clues for one are highlighted in red, and the others are in green. How many did you get? Er, none right.

Chapter One – “coming to…… Olympic”: Hercules
already solved this one. It was just to narrow the field and let you know that one of the mafia was American.

Chapter Two – Wisps of brown material. This was pipe tobacco. Someone mentioned Miss Marple’s handbag, but leather isn’t wispy.

Chapter Three – Miss Marple almost hit by a banger. HongHu playing King Albert solitaire – Simenon was Belgian. gjramsey kicks something into the river. It wasn’t a tennis ball, it was an apple. As in Mac!

Chapter Four – HongHu playing Pairs (anagram of Paris). Playing card: “Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my Summer’s Queen,” from Thomas Dekker’s The Merry Month of May – see Miss Marple’s and “nobody was thinking about poetry” when Nuclear Master died.

Chapter Five – HongHu plays Ugly. The ugly man on the pile of gold on the card was Rumpelstiltskin – nobody knew his name.

Chapter Six – White Horse whisky. A white horse is called a grey in racing.

Chapter Seven – Obelisk in the desert. Also in the Place de la Concorde. Almond-shaped piece of paper was a map of Sri Lanka, with its capital clearly marked – Colombo.

Chapter Eight – String of jewels points to M. l’inspecteur Jules Maigret.

Chapter Nine – An apostle fork???? But who is the most famous fork apostle? Peter Falk?

Chapter Ten – A sticky plaster? Of Paris?

Chapter Eleven – No more clues.

Inspired but Jamski’s Roman Mafia game, I also played a little game with the name of one of the mafia. Fortunately he lasted for ages, so I was able to include all of the letters in his username as the first letters of words that were scored out in my posts. Despite making this really obvious (see C and O), nobody got any of this. The letters were:
Y, S, C, B, P, A, O, E, W, (there was also a D somewhere in one of my posts, but I must have missed it when I reviewed the posts for this summary) .
