Mafia 64: Monty Barnum's Travelling Circus.

[Will9]

That is for "juggle" not "juggler"

[Mrs. Tuberski]

i will drop out if no one signs on as kite that way the game can continue

[Ben Kenobi]

Or we can just have a round where we all vote for 'William Kite' as the ceremonial first kill, and then let the mafia vote people off.

Much more preferable to having people drop out.

Besides I was the last to sign on so if anyone would get dropped it should be me and not someone who signed on the game a week ago.

I better post in the Join Thread first

[Mrs. Tuberski]

cool now we got the right amount of players

A tea ceremony of sorts

The band begins at ten to six
when Mr. K performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H will demonstrate
ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
a splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.


I instructed the band to start up, as usual, at 17.50, which they did with ‘The Entrance of the Gladiators’. You know the one: doot-doot-doobee-doobee-doo-doo-doot-doot -doobee-doobee... It gets the crowds into the atmosphere of things as they settle into their seats and signals that the show is soon to begin. Since Alfredo Codona and Jules Leotard (the Trapeze artists) were on in the second half of the bill, they helped with the sale of tickets and programmes. Harry McEvoy and Xavier Chaubert (two of the variety stars) guided folk to their seats, then went to get the popcorn and candy floss (cotton candy) to sell during the show.

Tonight’s programme was special; it Being for the benefit of Mr Kite who had recently joined the company from the Well’s circus. And Mr Kite performed a few tricks as a teaser.

The last stragglers to the seats always came from Gypsy Rose’s tent, (the ‘tease artist Fortune teller). Alfredo fancied Gypsy by the way, but Gypsy really liked Jules, whereas Jules was falling for Xia, who to make things complicated had the hots for Xavier. And that’s not to mention that The Mighty Ajax fancied his chances with both females. Then there were the others.

Then when I stopped the band, I (in my Ringmaster role) introduced Grock and Felix, the clowns.

Grock and Felix Adler, warmed the audience up with Grock’s famous musical routines and Adler’s routine with piglets.

Next on was Rudy Horn, Well what can I say an extraordinary star performer in putting seven saucers and seven teacups on top of each other on his head, flipping each from his foot and finishing with a teaspoon and sugar lump. He exited to wild applause.

Then came Robert Hobson of the Flying Nelsons and Xia Juhua. They thrilled the audience with their pirouettes and acrobatic routines. They left to cheers.

Harry McEvoy thrilled the crowd with his exhibition of throwing knives at his assistant Gypsy Rose: Xavier Chaubert was always uneasy at this (maybe he had a secret passion) and breathing heavily nearly set the tent on fire. The crowd loved them.


Pablo Fanque (fanque you , fanque you ) entered the ring with great impact and delivered an extra- terrestrial display of horsemanship.

Then this is where I came in again. I announced the interval.

Tornado Smith, Grock, Felix and Xia helped with the pop corn and ice-cream selling. Robert, Pablo and The Mighty Ajax started the process of getting ready for the next venue: packing things and feeding the animals. Gypsy went back to her Fortune telling tent: there was a huge queue waiting. The others were normally left to prepare for the second half.

It was during the interval that Harry told me his second reserve set of knives (he had seven sets) was missing. I said I’d ask around ‘maybe they were just mislaid’.

Well Charles Blondin as usual astounded the audience with his exploits on the highwire and to cheers asked if I’d dared be set on his shoulders, while he crossed the tightrope. Of course I dared, I did it every night of the show. We left to great applause.

Next the grand cannon was wheeled out, and the net was stretched out for Emanuel Zacchinis’s spectacular flight. ‘GeeGeeGeeGGGGGGGGeeGee’ he said afterwards. ‘ It was like a Space Walk’.

He was often consulted by Stephen Hawking about the Big Bang, but could hardly hear a thing.

While that was happened the ring was prepared and ready for the lions and Clyde Beatty. ‘Grrrh’ said Clyde.’Grrrrrrrhhhhh’ replied the audience. He was a favourite. The lions came down the caged passage to the secure enclosure. Clyde cracked his whip. ‘Whooo’ went the audience. They were well satisfied with his treatment of the cats. No wonder Xia and Gypsy felt shivers down their spines.

Without doubt it was a class act and helped reel in the profits.

The next but not least act was the Trapeze artists and many in the audience watched Mr Leotard through their binoculars as he swung freely on the trapeze. They swooned as he was caught by the Mr Codona and not by the Mr Cohones. They ended their display to great acclaim.

Then there was a hush and the band struck up Scheherezade for the entrance of Hugo Schmitt and his elephants. The centrepiece was a massive set of two computer keyboards. Whatever key Hugo jumped on, the Elephants would do the same on the other. The crowd cheered. Hugo was joined by Mr Kite who did a series of wonderful single somersets and Hugo responded with double somersets and the elephants trumpeted. A great finale.

At the end of the show the crowds left well pleased and there was still a queue outside Gypsy Rose’s tent.
Eventually when the public had gone, I said to the crew.
’Well gang we made a handsome profit tonight, thanks to everyone. Great show, Now let’s take down the big tent and get ready to move on to the next venue.’

Then somebody said ‘ Where’s Rudy ‘ We set out to search.

We found Rudy’s body under some taupaulin stabbed five times, with Harry’s knives, in a pattern, and his jugular vein had been cut.

I took control ‘Look’ I said ‘we’re circus folk, we solve our own business’ ‘Let’s vote among ourselves as to who did this. In the meantime let’s move on to the next venue.’

We buried Rudy with his unicycle and crockery.

I'm stumpted, but I think we should put our focus on this part:

Also using knifes would fram Harry who he apperantly doesn't like.

Xavier Chaubert

[Rasputin]

any obvious lcues poitning to the knife thrower should be ignored knowing hercs mind from last few mafias.

Ok last mafia game herc used the songs as a clue,

The song he used this time is from the beatles " for the benifit of mr Kite"

from the sgt peppers lonely hearts club band


so any links to characters and the Beatles?

[Nikolai]

Knowing Herc's talent at this, do you really think he'd copy himself already in the next game?

[Rasputin]

true, and i couldnt find any google search linking any character with the beatles nor sgt peppers.


so i go with only other abstract clue i can find .

Next on was Rudy Horn, Well what can I say an extraordinary star performer in putting seven saucers and seven teacups on top of each other on his head, flipping each from his foot and finishing with a teaspoon and sugar lump. He exited to wild applause.
