DAY 1: I'm so glad when Daddy comes home
One by one the citizens entered Grandpa Karl’s Grill. Some shuffled their feet, others mumbled to themselves under their breath, but nobody dared look each other in the eye. The bright lights of the restaurant were in sharp contrast to the mood of the occupants.
After everyone had taken a seat at one of the large, family-style tables, the mayor began the meeting. She started by explaining what a difficult task lay ahead. They must decide together, right here and now, who is in the mafia and execute them.
Just to be sure everyone had arrived and their voice could be heard, the mayor did a head count. “One, two, three, four,” she called in her loudest voice, “...eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.” Fifteen? Just to be sure, Mayor Hair counted again. Yes, one person was missing, but who? Just then someone pointed out a small box tucked snugly under a booth in the corner of the dining area. The box was sealed with what appeared to be yards and yards of black duct tape. Several of the men, wanting to appear brave, stepped forward. Jim, using his Eagle Scouting skills, cut through the tape with his jack knife and gasped. The rest of the townspeople crowded around-- the mayor fainted. Inside was a severed left hand, and on the fourth finger a thin band of gold. It was Bill’s wedding ring, Bill’s hand, and Bill was obviously the mafia’s first victim.
It was now more crucial than ever to convict one of the correct people today. They must avenge Bill, an innocent townie.
It is now DAY. As Bill is now dead, he cannot comment. Those still remaining need to determine who is mafia and vote for them in the comments. A majority is needed to execute. As there are 15 players remaining, you need at least 8 votes for one person. The day is 48 hours, until midnight on Saturday.

This makes it clear when tallying the votes. Good luck, citizens!
Well, throwing in a ballot will be extremely difficult since we have no one trying to plead a case or anything.We have no extra evidence except that hand.
VOTE: Kurt
It's too bad that there's nothing you can do once you die. People that get killed in the beginning of the game just have to sit around and wait until the end. You should be able to haunt people or something.
The real question is, how do we choose this early in the game? Anyone have some strategies?
Kurt, what a funny thought of someone to haunt others.
Do the people who die at least get to know who their killers are as some consolation?
Sorry, Dad, that you had to be the first.
I wonder if the black tape wrapped around the box is some kind of clue?
My guess would be that at least one of the mafia is someone closely related to Dad, like his child or wife. I just don't think he's a likely target for one of the cousins.
Any other ideas?
Just for clarification, I don't mean anything in my stories to be clues. You guys will have to figure this out all on your own, and hurry, we can't let Sooty go to pot!
Wow, Jimmy, going for the juggular right off the bat. Voting so early for someone seems a little guilty, like he has something to hide. Maybe it's Jimmy because he was afraid that living with Dad would be dangerous, so he had him killed right off.
This could also apply to Mom. Maybe she thought that lying to Dad would not be an option because they've been married for so long, so she had him killed.
This is all I've got in way of strategy. This early in the game, there aren't many clues.
Sorry, the post above was posted by Kari.
Sorry, the post above was posted by Kari.
Good points to consider, Kari.
I like your points Kari!! Jimmy or Mom are very likely suspects: what's your defense?
Because I have no idea who to choose, I say lets get Angela
Reading the comments, I'm gonna have to vote for Jim... that was a really early vote, with some logic possibly meant to fool us into voting for someone at random so he could avoid the noose.
Vote: Jim
I think Kari's comments. I think we should vote for Shirley. It would be hard to live with someone and not tell them about the game. Also she would know how smart Uncle Bill is in figuring things out so she would want him out quick.
VOTE: Aunt Shirley
Look at the smile in the pic. It is hiding something. Or maybe it is just a smile?????
Hello, Citizens!
When making comments, you MUST put your name. Who put the anonymous comment? The purpose is to see what others are writing so we can figure out their strategies. Angela, instead of using the Hirschicrazytrain, and for others who don't have a gmail account, use the Name/URL and put in your name when leaving a comment. You only need to put in a name, not a URL. I hope that makes sense. This has been interesting thus far!
What about all the people who haven't even commented yet? Are they holding back their comments so they won't be convicted? Let's hear some opinions here!!
THIS IS CHARLIE!!!
I have the perfect strategy. We should lynch those with the letter J in their name first.
In other words, I have no ideas, so I choose.....hmmmm.....
Vote: Jake
Merrit thinks it's Jim because he likes to play killing games. I'd just put this in for FYI.
All this hostility toward your younger brother/cousin/nephew/acquaintance/son. What happened to loving your family??? :( :( :(
UNVOTE: Kurt
VOTE: ummm.. Shirley!
Come on good people of Sooty, we need to avenge Uncle Bill's death we need to vote and come to a majority before someone else dies.
7 out of 15 still haven't commented. Let's join together O town of Sooty and find the mafia! I think it may be Jim
Vote: Jim
Halfway thru day, votes are as follows:
2 for Jim, from Jason and I
2 for Shirley, from Angela and Jim
1 for Jake, from Hillary
After posting the current vote totals 5 minutes ago, I realized that we need 8 votes to lynch. I think we ought to get a majority today, or else someone else will die without giving us any substantial amount of information. Let's make an effort to get a majority before 3/15, Midnight CDT... Let's contact those who haven't voted; they are the following:
Charlie
Deena
Eric
Heather
Jake
Jeff
Kari
Kurt
Sarah
Shirley
Let's get voting, cause without a lynch tonight, we will have one more death, and no more clues!!!
Sorry, I didn't read it until today. Bill told me last night that he had died, but Jim is on the computer all of the time, so I couldn't check it. I have no idea who to pick, but I think Merrit's reason to pick Jim is valid, he does kill people all of the time, so I'm voting for Jim.
VOTE; Jim
Hey, guys, Charlie did comment, right before Merrit commented. He and I have the same sign on, like Kari and Eric. I think I'll sign him up separate though so it won't be so confusing. I think I'm going to go for Jim too. Sorry, Jim, I do love you as a brother, but, you are a logical choice.
VOTE: Jim
Thanks for voting Shirley and Hillary; let's get Jim!!!
Still needing to vote (we need just 4 more votes):
Deena
Eric
Heather
Jake
Jeff
Kari
Kurt
Sarah
10.5 hrs and counting... We NEED to lynch to get some info, or we're just handing the mafia free carnage
Unvote: Shirley(against my better judement but going with majority)
Vote:Jim
Do you also notice that the people who haven't commented are married to the other people who haven't commented?
9.5 hrs to go, votes are as follows:
5 for Jim, from Jason, Hillary, Shirley, Angela, and I
2 for Shirley, from Jim
1 for Jake, from Charlie
I like Kari's ideas from the earlier posts, but she still hasn't voted, nor has Eric. Her ideas made me vote for Jim... Please, someone get her to get back on and join the majority in voting to kill Jim... 3 more votes needed, only 9 1/4 hrs remaining.
Hey Jim are you going to defend yourself?
I don't have time to figure any strategy right now but to keep the game going I'll vote for Jim. Sorry, man.
Vote: Jim
I'm glad that Heather voted because I was worried that you guys weren't going to play b/c you were up north. Sorry that we haven't voted, we've been kind of busy. But everyone is pretty convincing-and Merrit's comment, although really funny, is pretty valid. I am waiting for some kind of defense from Jimmy besides playing the "pity me because I'm your brother" card. I love you Jimmy (and happy birthday tomorrow!) but I think everyone is right.
VOTE: Jimmy
Maybe the people who haven't commented yet haven't been home or were too busy so far. Oh wait, that is me, and that is all true! I was initially thinking Shirley or Jim since they are with Uncle Bill the most and would be the most obvious. So going with majority...
Vote: JIMMY!
Sorry little one, but you are just the most likely choice, especially with what seems to be your entire family against you.
Sorry I don't really know anything about blogging or how this works but I was the anonymous message and I meant to vote for Angela. No reason she is just the person I know the best except for my loving wife of course.
VOTE: ANGELA
Sorry Jim I like everyones reason for voting for you. It will be sad to see you go but someone has to take the fall.
VOTE: Jim
vote totals with 4.5 hrs till nightfall:
9 for Jim, by Eric, Kari, Sarah, Heather, Angela, Hillary, Shirley, Jason, and I
1 for Shirley, from Jim
1 for Jake, from Charlie
1 for Angela, from Jake
As it stands now, Jim is in position to die tonight.
BTW, if anyone cares, BYU is losing to UNLV by 7, 57-50 with 6:48 left in the 2nd Half in the MWC Championship. I'm watching as I type this.
I am giving into peer pressure and voting for Jimmy plus Kari's rational makes sense
Vote: Jimmy
Jay seems a little to eager to have Jim voted off, plus you are the one I know the most besides Deena
Vote: Jay
UNVOTE: Jimbobalouis
VOTE: Jay
He is a little to eager to have Jimmy one of the people who play games and might be able to help us defeat the mafia, gone from the game. Too suspicious if you ask me.
