Mafia 39 - It just gets verse!

[DrSpike]

Uh yes, but there are two other players!

[duke o' york]

Who? Nikolai and.....?

Final scene this evening then.

[Skanky Burns]

Both of whom have voted, and neither of those votes went towards the mafia. Unless he votes for himself, there is no chance he dies. We are down to the final three, remember.

Skanky don't be so slow. I said Duke should stick to the voting rule he has been using. You said (correctly) it doesn't matter if James is the mafia. But it does matter if he changes the rule and one of the others is the mafia.

James won't be back until early December, possibly in time to celebrate his Mafia win in the next thread.

I suppose that could be taken to mean a win in general rather than a win as a mafia. However I am pretty sure he is the mafia, so the point is null.

[duke o' york]

Act III Scene iv

Enter KING RAH and the THANE of AUCHTERMUCHTY

rah: Welcome, good Auchtermuchty. Know well that
today is the last day of my councils,
and that the final vote approacheth. I
hope that thou hast slept well, and that the ills
on thy conscience hath not kept thee awake.

Paddy: Much as I am grateful to ye fer yer
hospitality these days past o king,
then I reckon that this is no way to
treat a guest at yer court. And what is more,
I know that it was yer hand behind these
deaths, looking to clean yer court of all the
yes-men ye have gathered about ye these
years, and to replace them with men of true
hearts! Well ye’ve miscalculated there o
king, for my cousin and I have truer hearts
than ye’ll find at yer English court, and we
shall see justice done here today! Yer crown
has no truck any more with the likes of
us, and we’ll see that ye pay for what ye’ve
done to yer court, and to yer allies too!

rah: The devil strike me black afore I bow
to the insults of an arrogant man
of Scotland! Draw thy sword sirrah, and we
shall settle this like men of honour!

King rah attacks the Thane of Auctermuchty

Enter the THANE of INVERURIE

James: What are ye both playing at? Can ye not
discuss things in the manner of civilised
men, or must ye draw swords at ev’ry single
disagreement? Sheathe yer swords, and let us
talk this matter over.

Paddy: Cousin, the king has
accused me of the deaths of his courtiers,
and resolved to settle this matter here
without a vote, for he knows that he will
surely lose, as I know him to be the
killer, and I know that ye’ll back me on
this! He drew and attacked, and although I
would dearly punish his insolence, I
have instead pushed back his feeble attacks,
knowing that my noble cousin would come
and give me fair licence to run him through,
for such he deserves, and but naught better!

rah: The very cheek, I’d have thee whipped were my
guards not without now, but trust me Scotsman,
they head will be paraded afore the
common folks of London tomorrow morn,
as a lesson to those who would attempt
high treason!

James: Gentlemen, please! It would seem
that my vote decides which of you will die
today as the murderer loose in the
court, and so must I choose wisely, for the
fate of the nation rests solely upon
my head, and my head alone!

rah and Paddy: It was him!

King rah attacks the Thane of Auctermuchty

Paddy: Cousin, come to my aid!

rah: Thane, help me in
my plight! Would I were the man of yore, who
bestrode the country like a colossus,
and under whose heel squirmed the ignoble
upstarts who would seek to topple my reign!

The Thane of Inverurie kills King rah

rah: Thou knave, thy mace hath sucked the last of my
blood from me, and my kingdom dies with me.

Paddy: Thankee my cousin, thy strength has saved me
in battle many a time, but I prefer
to make war under God’s great heavens, and
not in the foul-smelling depths of a king’s
castle. But I didn’t know ye had brought yer
mace, and much though I owe it my life, I
know now that ye have been killing off the
good nobles at this court, and now fear for my
own life!

James: Worry not, good Auchtermuchty. I have
used my arm in anger too often these
past days, and there must come a time when a
man looks away from the horrors of war,
much as I have enjoyed them, and much as
they have brought me wealth and land, and instead
seek a simpler life, with his friends and clan
among the heather and the beautiful
women whose auburn hair gleams under the
weak sun of Scotland. I have taken my
vengeance for the king’s murder of my own
brother, and yer cousin too, whose foolish
ideas took him to ally with Llewellyn
of Wales, and to join the insurrection.
I pledged my support to the king so that
I could safely return west and find him,
dragging him back north by his hair if that
were necessary, for our mother worried
sorely for him, and I promised her that
I would do all I could to see him safe
in Inverurie again. But rah’s spies
shot him from Chester’s walls last Wednesday,
and so I had to come and claim my blood
vengeance here! Ack, so I have brought down the
English throne, and left the country in ruins.
We can laugh about this at home – at least
until the English invent some form of
competition at which they can beat us!

Paddy: Ha! But can we pillage on our way back?

James: Aye, cousin, but I would prefer ye to
leave well alone the fields of the king’s own
brother, Lord Ming, for he has been a great
help in allowing me to pursue my
vengeance by keeping me away from the
other courtiers, and my low profile has
ensured that I have not been detected.

Paddy: Agreed! Now shall we take the high road or
the low road?

James: I’ll take the high road and you…

Exeunt











Apologies to all (except Paddy ) for HongHu-ing this game, but it followed the story far better than having two beloved cousins fighting it out amongst themselves.

Congratulations to James for being the first player to be banned and the first player to win while banned!
Let this be a lesson to you others - always leave a kill list that goes throughout the entire game. You can always change it later if you want.

[rah]

But even banned players could PM.
Well played, I guess.

Congrats, but very surprised the King lasted till the end. When I was given the king role, I figured 2 or 3 days at the max. hahahaha

[DrSpike]

So Rah wasn't the mafia? Oh well, never mind.

[Paddy]

James sends his regards from the bonny hills of home

See you all in the next life

Well, it was an honest mistake.
