Wild West Mafia, Game#1

[Will]

Well, I'm back in town, and I see we are still trying to decide. I'll go along with the Rubric vote, he is just too damn weird, and doesn't exactly make a lot of sense.

unvote : RandomBastard

vote : Rubric

 

[Jimmy]

after listening at rubrics gun ho actions is the tell tail sign of a bandit and its not what we need in this town

vote rubric

 

[ECA]

Well, it doesn't seem we're getting any traction in any other direction so I'll go with the flow.

I still think iceforge/calo/ch3ts should be burned but I guess they can wait.

unvote ch3ts
vote rubric

 

[Olgaline]

It's a LYNCH!

As the day comes to an end, dusk falls apon the tiny outpost settlement.
The town bells sound calling for another town meeting wich can only mean one thing! A majority has been reached! The towns folk gather around the large center piece table set up for the occation and nervousely await the outcome of the vote, as Will resives sealed envelope, Downaneal suddenly Breaks the silence, announcing that Rubric is Missing amongst the crowd. with tensions high and no one too eager to have the result read out aloud, The Majority are quick to second his notice, and it dosent take the mob long to conclude that Rubric's Lack of presence is clear cut proof of his
Guilt! Quickly

The mob marches up to Rubrics shack, here they Find Him out on his poarch sitting in his usual chair, his hat sloped down, covering his face. His Hands crossed caressing his trusted winchester riffel. As the mob arives at his shack Rubric before he has a chance to react, is quickly overpowered, a potato bag is used to cover his head and his arms are solidly tied behind his back, a noose placed around his neck and the end of the rope
firmly tightend to his horse.

The days last rays of sunlight reflect of the barrel of Jimmy's colt, he aims it in the air, and the crowd grows silent, as the last light disapears the day ends with an eccoing gunshot.

The Deed is done, Rubric is Dead as they turn thier attention to his shack,
the crowed proceeds to ransack the hosue for clues,
they find old letters, notes and even a photograph
all conferming that he was:

Spoiler

Rubric the Old Man, Town Mason
Having gotten it right on the first time, this time the townsfolk are gutted by thier findings, and now more than ever, they'll need all thier skills and courage to rid the town of any remaining Vermin

The Town Retires for the Night,

- Tho's with Night choices Send them in to me Asap.

- Do not Post in this thread until such time as I announce the start of day three.

 

[Olgaline]

This day the town is awoken by a Large heard of buffallo
passing close to the town and acompanied by the unmistakable cries
of Indian hunters, the Noise and racket has everyone out on thier porch,
modeling their finest Pj's As the noise fades, the townsfolk slowly begin
to retreat back inside. Suddenly they all turn as Uara errupts;

Whats that ?

In the middle of the town street a body lies face Down in the ground.
As they close in on the body the unmistakeable sweet and metalic stench
of blood or rather skinned cattle fills the air. By now A cold chill presents
it self, running down thier collective spines, who was the Unfortunate soul,
and who had done what to him ?

Calo kneels beside him, and turns the body, The site that meets them is one of horrid Nightmares! The Body shot to pieces with multiple gun shots, to the knees, hands, back and gutt. His Face Mutalated and scalp Removed! In his Left hand jacket pocket, the towns folk Find a Feather.

But Clearly the Indains hunters hadnt been in or near the town, there were no new horse prints or any other indication that they had been anywhere near the town, so it had to have been someone amongst the towns folk, so clearly someone was trying to send the townsfolk a message and had gone to great lenghts to do so.

Yet on closer inspection, it's clear that the gun wounds could not have
come from the same gun. the wounds on the hands, knees and gutts were clearly inflicted by a lower calibure colt, as opposed to the back wound wich is unmistakeably reminisant of a higher calibur Remington.

The body Being Unidentifiable, with a head count it's soon apparent that this was Indeed:

Spoiler

ECA, And a quick search of his house soon reveals him as The Town Watcher,
A bad blow indeed, disilutioned the towns folk return to thier respective shacks more scared and paranoid than ever.

why two different guns ? and what perpuse would the
brutal maner of exicution stand to serve ?

Day 3,

With 10 alive it takes 6 to lynch.

 

[RandomBastard]

This is a blow no doubt my fellow ranchers, but it is not the end, we must act swiftly to find the bandits. My suspicions are tweaked by iceforge, ECA is the only active one of us he didnt accuse last night making him the perfect one for him to savage this high noon.

vote: iceforge

 

[Will]

Thats fine, except Iceforge didn't do anything of the sort. Liers must die.

vote : RandomBastard

 

[Uara]

Now that is strange. Two guns, does that prove our suspicions correct that there are 2 (possibly more) bandits lurking in our dear town stead or did the bandit shoot him in the back and then finish him off at close range. I wonder if it could be someone with Injun connections.

And what is even more strange is that none of us heard the gun shots. Our town is growing ever more dangerous to live in.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well with Rubric i think we found out we shouldn't vote "just 'cause". Apologies to Rubrics family for this, things just got out of hand i guess.

I think we need to take a step back though, calm our nerves and try to reason why we do the things we do.

RandomBastards quick-hip gunning towards Iceforge, almost instantly after day started, is a bit suspicious. Could be just past tension.

Also i doubt Iceforge would be as silly as to implicate himself in such a way, though, it would be a perfect way to do it also.

 

[Levin]

Rubric.. Rubric, Rubric. *sighs* You lived by your gun, and may the Lord protect you now that you're in heaven. And may he punish us mortals for having wronged you.

And ECA.. *kneels by the body* Whoever did this must have tried to make it look like an indian kill? Why the two different calibers though? Hmm, wasn't there some rumour about mercenaries coming to town? Did someone put a price on our heads? If they are killing us off too, maybe they picked the same target as the bandit last night? Of course, then why didn't they kill someone the first night too? *scratches head*

*stands up and looks at the townsfolk* How many of us, really, are as pure of heart as they say, I wonder? I don't think we have just a bandit among us - I think there are others here too who wills us harm!

 

[Uara]

Yes, I too heard about some mercenary coming to the town, although I have yet to see any signs of them, apart from possibly this killing. Our dear sheriff who we've yet to know who he is (maybe he's afraid of becoming a target for these mercenaries) may well have protected one of us on that first night and scared them off. Who know's what's going on in this town anymore. As soon as I've got my money back from the bandits I'm taking the next wagon-train to civilisation.

 

[old.Tohtori]

What worries me is that Levin and Uara, don't get me wrong here not saying you ARE scum, but it worries that you seem to agree alot and "know", as in give big hints, that there's two evildoers around still.

Either you seem to know something we don't, or you're just two peas in same pod making same guesses.

You do realise how that looks from an outside view?

 

[Uara]

Well I know I got the 2 bandit thing from the fact that ECA's body had different gun shot wounds thus making me think two people were involved in the killing and as we don't kno how many bandits there are thats what first came to mind.

But what Levin said did make sense and I hadn't seen it from that point of view before thus it might not be two bandits involved in his killing, but one and a mercenary.

Yes I do realise how it looks from an outside perspective, its just I agree with what Levin is saying and the views he puts forward. If he is our bandit, then I'm going to look like a fool. But thats a risk I gotta take.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Ah ok, that makes a bit more sense even if you must understand that paranoia is a bit starting to creep in here.

 

[Iceforge]

vote: iceforge

Lying about me now?

Low blow... I didn't accuse a lot of people... day 1 I accused the last 3 voters, without following up on it a lot day 2 and then 1 made himself suspecious in my eyes and I accused him, and ONLY him during the rest of day 2.

So your post is completely bollocks! Got to ask myself what you got to gain by lying about me so if you are not indeed a scumbag?

 

[Iceforge]

actually, I looks like a bandit bollocking up his plan or something when I look at RandomBastard's post again. Quick to try and start a bandwagon for a kill, very very quick. His reason is flawed, which might indicate 2 bandits left alive if Random really is a bandit, and their talking back and forth about strategy confused Random and he mixed my name up with someone elses which he was supposed to accuse, because the accusation just doesn't fit in any way... I was not accusing many active people. In fact, I think I am one of those who accused least people. I told people I was watching them on day 1, but did not follow up on it due to it hitting a bandit (as Levin said, why vote off your own when you already got someone defending them (me) which you could build on to stop the bandwagon all together?) and only accused 1 afair on day 2, which was Ch3tan.
That being said, I think I am quite soon able to solve the mystery of whom the bad guys is.

 

[Levin]

it worries that you seem to agree alot and "know", as in give big hints, that there's two evildoers around still.

Well, i think it's fairly certain that we have mercenaries among us ((OOC: look at the original role setup, it's clearly stated)). I don't know what they're up to, but i doubt they're on our side. Are you trying to say you don't think there are any mercs around here?

It does make sense that someone somehow got protected on the first night, probably by our sheriff and whoever he assigned as deputy at the time. And on the second night, it's possible that mercs and bandit shot the same guy. I don't get the indian thing, but all in all I think we've probably been very lucky to have "just" two murdered bodies on our hands instead of four.

It just all seems so very, well how to put it, co-incidental if looked at like that. I know it's not impossible, but it IS very lucky for us if that happened.

I'm saying, by the way, that i was simply curious on the quick information drawn from what we saw this morning. Thank you for answering.

After what Iceforge and Will said, i have to agree though. Could RandomBastard perhaps say something about this? Otherwise i'm inclined to vote along the same lines as A: i lack any better idea. and B: They make a compelling case.

 

[RandomBastard]

Already voting who I think is a bandit, gentlemen, but just like people to think about what is happening;

First I defended Golena, yes, I admit I went into defense for that foul sick bandit, and you only have my word on this, but I knew not better at the time, thinking we was about to kill an innocent in a fit of rage. Back then, Ch3tan agreed with me on being suspecious of those voting Golena. Then Golena turned out bandit and Ch3tan turned on me, while he himself had gone even harsher on those I had accused, putting in his vote on them for lynching, which I had not done.
Then he accuse Downangel and Rubric of being likely bandits for voting for settler Tohtori, now he is accusing Tohtori, Downanael, RandomBastard, Uara and Levin for being likely bandits for voting Rubric.
He is failing in providing logical arguments for his actions; He has not stated why he is voting me, except that I am the 'obvious reason', unless I overheard him say otherwise somewhere, and he is spreading people out by casting random accusations in all kinds of directions, which just serves to split people up.

I just think people should think about that.

This is the post that makes me suspicious of iceforge, ch3tan didn't accuse all those people, which makes it look to me like iceforge is accusing us by proxy.

 

[Will]

So we are accusing you of being scum because you have been caught out in a lie, and your only defense is a robust offense? I say we've found a bandit. You should have all listened to me at the start.

 

[old.Tohtori]

And if RandomBastard is innocent? I'm simply asking that is there any possibility you're wrong?

 

[Will]

Of course there is a chance he is innocent. I'm not gifted with the sight, like my dear old Granma. If only she was still with us...

But he isn't arguing his case at all, and he has been caught out in a lie. He could be like poor Rubric, and shit at making his case. But the fact is that liers don't help us townsfolk, and are probably bandits.

 

[Ch3tan]

First of all. Can you murder hungry lot please just think afore voting t'kill?

It's a sad state when I can go for my regular afternoon nap and return t find poor Rubric dead. He even intimated that he was a mason by being sad over gohans death. Something a bandit must have picked up on. I think we should look at those that voted for him and when they did.

But first I must asnwer a post that I ahve been waiting to since before my nap...

 

[Ch3tan]

I just think people should think about that.

So I am not allowed to be harsh by rousing up some discussion around ehre to try and lure these bandits out?

You name a lot of people I accuse, well I did not accuse anyone, merely pointed out those that had voted for both Gol and Rubric.

I have stated several times why I was voting for you, you defending Golena, that filthy whore.

And actually naming people makes them uneasy and encourages them to speak, so we can find falsehoods, or target them if they do not answer.

I am very torn between Iceforge and Random, but have talked Buffalo shit all game. I am happy to go with the flow for now, and cause I just don't like him that much. but I tell you all now, beware Iceforge, the sneaky git.

vote Randomlies


Also can someone have a look at voting patterns of gohan and Rubric, who voted with them on day 1? Possible other mason.

 

[Downanael]

Damn,he certainly looked suspicious with all his sleeping.

Hopefully we atleast managed to scare rest of them.

 

[Ch3tan]

*resists urge to edit*

make that "I am very torn between Iceforge and Random, both have talked Buffalo shit all game"

 

[old.Tohtori]

As much as i have a bad feeling about this, probably from our last hanging, i'm gonna go with Vote: RandomBastard as it's the only reasonable choice.

I just hope it's right 'cause it's getting a bit slim in town.

 

[RandomBastard]

If you hang me I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, no wait, that's not my line, I am a but a simple blacksmith, not a word smith, if you hang me you will take only an innocent to the grave and the bandit iceforge shall rejoice.

If I am to die take this information for the good of the town. On the first night I was deputised and barricaded the home of ch3tan.

 

[Levin]

I admit I can't wrap my head around the argument between Iceforge, Ch3tan and Iceforge. And since I can't, I don't feel comfortable voting for either of them right now. I think i'll poke around some in those dark alleys instead where all the quiet ones hide!

Vote: Jimmy

 

[Levin]

I admit I can't wrap my head around the argument between Iceforge, Ch3tan and Iceforge.

Heat is getting to me. I mean Iceforge, Ch3tan and Randombastard of course.
