FG: Mafia 55 : The Birthday

[Skanky Burns]

I'm not the mafia, but killing someone after they have saved me has a certain irony that appeals to my humour. But looks like I'll join you in the afterlife for a beer while the real mafia(s) run free.

I wasn't taking your vote as an accusation, but I'd be ashamed if it wasn't.
I was taking the fact that I have voted for Skanky twice in a row now, and was right the last time, in the vain hope that I've now become the Hercules of Mafia (read the clues, get the suspect, then get killed by the Mafia every first round you play because they know you're the only one who reads the clues).

Of course, I could be badly wrong, in which case if Skanky isn't the Mafia, and isn't killed this round, then the Mafia will kill me next round, in order to pile the blame on Skanky. In which case, the Mafia is definitely Skanky.

It was very obvious now that a normal police investigation would never uncover the dastardly villian behind this, so the worlds great detectives were flown in, Hercule Poirot, Colombo, etc.

With a growing list of clues matched only by the list of dead bodies. They soon placed the blame squarely on skanky burns shoulders.

With another of our crew now carted away, we sat all together around the pool to await the sun rising, surely no one could die if we were all together.

At about 4:30am we must have all nodded off as wewere woken by a splash, DukeoYork was found floating in the pool. Wow we all thought, a death that didnt involve a toilet! But then we realised that Duke had releived himself in the pool earlier and hence had made the pool into a toilet.

A note was found on the poolside deck, (YES A CLUE FOLKS),

it read "I am not EVIL, I am just here to add some flavour to an otherwise tasteless party"


Yes this final clue sealed the arrest of the killer. Well maybe!!

[Skanky Burns]

Howcome DoY gets capital letters for his name and I don't?

Oh, and I'm dead.

Oh, and DoY's vote to kill me (for the last three rounds, no less) got him killed. Irony!

Skanky doing his Evil Business even from the grave...

Okay, I went back and did the Herculian task of cutting and pasting the story sections in hopes of finding a clue:

It was sometime around 9:00pm that yelling was heard from inside. I rushed in with everyone else and we were all shocked to find Jonny with his head jammed in the toilet. Flushed to death!

Suspicion crept into all our eyes and I immedialty called the police.

Who could have done such a dastardly crime. Who and why ? And why were there Red Hot Chillies floaitng in the toilet bowl? This was all very strange.

Despite some evidence suggesting Nikolai was still in the toilet at time of Jonnys demise, the police quickly rounded up Tuberski as he was a huge Red HOT Chilli Peppers fan. He was still wearing a T Shirt at time of arrest.

Feeling safe to continue partying into the wee hours of the morning, we al lreturned to our drinking and gossiping.

Saldy, jsut 2 hours later, Rah came running from the house and informed us of a second body in the toilet.

When we looked for ourselves we found Adagio head down in the bowl, more Chillis on the floor, most disgustingly, Adagio had thrown up all over the floor before being jammed into the bowl. His half digested Stew from dinner made most of us want to Vomit.

As i left to recall the police, I noticed that Adagios fingers had been broken into grotesque angles.

It was extremely fortunate that so many clues had been left behind by our inept killer. The police arrived within 10 minutes and it took jsut three more minutes to arrest Heresson.

The party was a bit sobered up now, but we were intent on celebrating my birthday so back to the bar we went. With some more alcohol in is we headed inside and sat down to enjoy some more sports on TV. A few of the guys headed to the games room to fire up the computers for a game of Civ 4.

Meanwhile, I decided to lock the "Haunted" toilet to try and prevent people mourning over the deaths during my party.

Unfortunately i was too late, there laying head first in the dunny was Hercules, his foot juttng out of the door. No Chili peppers to be seen anywhere this time, just a hand scrawled note on the toilet paper, it read

Have you checked the Kitchen?

I rushed into the kitchen but nothing amiss in there. I looked in the pantry, under the sink, opened the oven, I even checked the dishwasher; but when i opened it there was only my dinner plates from last night, I had ordered out and had some Indian, but i digress, I got Rah and Spaced to help me check the kitchen further but we could find no clues. We called the police and then waited for them to arrive, at this rate i would have no one left to help clean up in the morning.

Whilst we waited i finally noticed that my favourite picture that hung in my kitchen, the picture of the stars from "Gilligans Isle" , had a big X pencilled over the face of Tina Louise.

Strange !!!!!!!

The party was really starting to be a real bummer with al lthese deaths. The police decided that despite lack of any clues that drogue being an oficial outside that he looked the most guilty.

And so Drogue was removed and this time the police left a few officers outside the house, jsut in case they said.

No one was drinking anymore and a few decided that it might be safer to head to their rooms, lock the door and sleep til lmorning.

I headed to my room upstairs and as i got to the top of the stairway i heard some muffled groans from down the hall. I rushed in hteir direction and realised that it was coming from the bathroom, the door was locked , but I called Rah and Chaunk over and we smashed down the door, we found Skanky on the floor, stil lbreathing. He appeared to have been hit over the head and left here.

We looked at each other and realised with horror that the kiler had tryed again, at least we had saved Skanky.

Just then we heard another yell. We raced down the corridor and found Leirosa standing outside the toilet at the end of the corridor. There laying on the floor was Nikolai another flushing success.

Damn we were caught out again, this was getting frightening. As we took the weeping Leirosa back to her room, I noted that someone had scrawled across the Mirror " The Lad is the one".

It was all confusing.

The police arrived from outside the house when they heard the shouting, with the guests insistance they took the writing on the mirror literally and arrested the only lady. Leirosa was quickly removed.

The police had to stop the rest of the guests leaving though as they were still worried about us all. We were told to wait for a pshychologist in the morning.

We all returned to our beds and hoped sleep would come soon.

I was awoken by a banging noise outside. I rushed down stairs and found the police busting down the door on the outdoor pool toilet. Once inside we found Rah again head first in the dunny.

The killer had again left a trail of Chillies but also many other spices. It seemed Rah had come downstairs for some soup and rather than climbing back upstairs had decided to eat it out side.

I don't see anything yet, but hope that between us we can come up with something

[Spaced Cowboy]

Aren't we supposed to have an odd number left?

[Sparrowhawk]

Okay that was somewhat fruitless. Not sure I make a very good detective.

I noticed that there is a capital word in each new update:
Hot, Stew, Indian, Lad, Chillies, Evil

But I don't see any connection with these words and any of the remaining four members.

Using the first letters gives you: HSILCE

Which is all of the letters in Chillies but that isn't much help either. But I remembered there was a thread recently in the Off topic about Chili so I went there thinking I might find a clue (though I couldn't remember much about it but knew it was started by Slowwhand.....I did a search and he has posted in 10 pages of threads from teh off topic alone!! ). Anyway, the only people who have posted in that thread and this one are d'o'y and Drogue but seeing as they are both dead I can't vote for them. About all I can see is the thread seems to agree that Chili is a food from Texas.

Meaning I can vote for no one else but Spaced Cowboy

I don't like my own logic, but I can see nothing else.

/me

[duke o' york]

I don't like your logic either, but this is Mafia, and far stranger clues have been found before.

[Rasputin]

wow didtn think anyone would find the Capital Letter Clue for Chillis ,


and yet you have overlooked the obvious far more cleverer clues i put in.

I wonder if my Mafia has seen all the clues ?

[Chaunk]

I wonder if Ras's claim that Spaced Cowboy was his other mafia earlier was only half the truth. Best to keep things hidden in plain sight perhaps?

No idea about Chillies though. Doesn't seem to make sense to me

[Spaced Cowboy]

Chaunk for the cointoss.

But aren't we suppossed to have an odd number of players.
