DAY 3: crushed into silence
It was morning, and after Kari's identity was discovered, a new hope hung in the air. The mayor, on her way the her office, passed by one of the mining shafts and noticed a pair of glasses on the ground. She picked them up and recognized them as Kurt's. After putting them in her pocket, she continued on.
She tried calling him from her office, but there was no answer. During lunchtime, she decided to meet him down at the mines. When she arrived she was told that he hadn't shown up that day. It was strange, too, seeing as how Kurt LOVED going to work in the mines, there was nothing he'd rather do! A search was started and it wasn't long before they found his broken body pinned underneath a large boulder in the back of the mining shaft. The mafia had done it again.
The remaining townspeople stopped working for the day and attended an emergency meeting. It was imperative to catch another mafia member today.
It is now DAY until Friday at midnight, tentatively. I may extend the day depending on how much input we get from the players. My parents are visiting Grandma this weekend and won't have easy access to the internet, they're visiting for Noah's blessing, which will probably keep Eric from playing much. Heather's grandma just passed away yesterday (please keep her in your prayers) and her and Kurt will be attending the funeral and other things which will keep her busy, as well. We'll just see how it goes. This day may extend through Saturday. As Kurt is now dead, he can no longer comment.

i was totally surprised when i saw that they killed kurt... i was expecting either, jason, me, or charlie, because our roles are known... anyway, let's hope jason asked about a mafia last night... this might be our last day with him alive... i'll probably listen to a few arguments before tossing my vote out, it seemed to work last time... i am sooooo happy that we got kari
I can't get over how wicked those death pictures look. How do you do that Jana?
I am so shocked that Kurt was offed. Unfortunately for Jason, the doctore probably spent his life saving tools on him lastnight and therefore, he is fair game now. Sorry, Jason.
So here is my thoughts as to who might be mafia. I think it's my mom. If you think of who she picked to lynch yesterday I think it shows some suspicion. Even after Jason had revealed that Charlie is a townie she still picked him. And even though most everyone ganged up on Kari, my mom refused to do so. I think she's looking pretty guilty. Does anyone else think so too?
I'm glad you like the "ghost" pictures. They're so easy! I open the pictures in Paint and use the "Invert Colors" effect to make them like negatives. They are pretty spooky!
that's a great point hillary... i was thinking that myself when she voted for charlie... she seems really suspicious... i have half a mind to vote for her right now, but it still feels a bit early
I have been saying Aunt Shirley all along. I also believe that the third person in the mafia could possibly be my sister. Leave it to Jana to pick the three most innocent people. Who would ever guess, Kari, Aunt Shirley and Sarah. I will check later to see how the vote is coming to see who the majority is going for. Maybe Jason will have some news for us.
Also Jana when will we know how long "today" will be so we know when we need to have the majority vote. I am fine with extending it since Sarah and Jake are visiting my mom for Easter.
I agree with you guys: I'm almost 100% positive it's mom, in fact I didn't even check to see if she was mafia, because I'm almost so sure. But good news: Hillary is NOT mafia! But I agree with Angela, I think it's mom and Sarah.
So, I...VOTE: SHIRLEY
I forgot to put on the post that because there are only 12 people left, only 7 votes are needed to execute.
I would like to give everyone enough time to talk it out and defend themselves, if need be. Here is my decision- this day will continue until Sunday night (Easter). I know 4 days is a long time, but I really want to make sure everyone gets a chance to express themselves. If we hear from everyone, EVERYONE, earlier than that I will end the day before Sunday night.
Oh yeah, and doctor? You missed a good chance at saving Kurt last night. It was unfortunate you didn't even try...the town may not be able to get through this without you so I pray you will do your duty and put your ninja/doctor skills to work for us!
I'm afraid that I am giving you people a false sense of what I'm about. I really have no idea how to play this game, (just ask the major), and I'm just stumbling along. I forgot that Jason had said he'd already checked on Charlie when I voted for him. I'll just say that if you kill me, you'll be making a mistake.
i'm with jason... thats quite suspicious, what she just commented, and what she did 'last night'
Vote: Shirley
Sticking with Jason because he hasn't been wrong and I have thought of Shirley from the beginning.
Vote:Aunt Shirley
Jason might just be a clever fox who is casting doubt on other mafia members to save himself. However, I agree with his theories about Shirley. I probably won't have much time to post but I'll be sure to check in again Sunday to make sure I don't want to change my vote.
Vote: Shirley
Sorry, this may seems strange, but after further evaluation I don't think mom is guilty, I think she's trying to figure things out on the game. I regret voting for her so quickly, but hopefully you guys will agree and switch your vote. I really think one of the mafia may be Sarah, so I'm going to switch my vote now--if you guys have any other ideas let me know. But I really don't think it's mom, although I said earlier, I'm almost 100% positive.
UNVOTE: Shirley
VOTE: Sarah
bill and shirley flew into slc airport today, and i went with gma and gpa to pick them up... after spending a couple of hours with them, i cant imagine now that shirley was lying earlier... i dont know who else to vote for, so ill go with jason and advise everyone to do the same...
Unvote: Shirley
Vote: Sarah
Looking over the vote count from last time, these are they who voted for kari:
jason
me
heather
kurt (dead)
eric
deena
jake
angela
sarah, but did it late and after it was necessary for lynching, possibly to hide her GUILT
so here is a list of those who are still alive, and who i think could still be mafia... names in italics are ones whom i believe are innocent
angela (voted for kari)
charlie (cleared by Jason)
deena (voted for kari)
eric (voted for kari)
heather (voted for kari)
hillary (cleared by Jason)
jake (voted for kari)
jason (voted for kari)
jay (cleared by jason)
jeff (almost killed by mafia)
sarah (did vote for kari, but not until it was decided; possibly trying to look innocent)
shirley (voted for charlie after he'd been cleared)
i think that narrows it down pretty well... ;) i believe that sarah and shirley are our last two mafia!!! if either of them aren't, then someone whom i had a good reason to clear the name of is really mafia
so, ill stick with my vote for sarah, but i retract my statement that shirley is innocent
So midnight on Easter sunday will be the end of the day, correct Mayor? Just wanted to make sure that we have a majority hopefully by then.
Angela,
You going to switch to Sarah, so that we can get a majority?
If we end up being one vote short, I will consider it, but I can't vote for her just yet. She is my sister after all. I will wait and see until tomorrow night. Do you know if we are going til tomorrow night at midnight? And we are having a debate at my mom's house on where you and Jana live?
i think they live in memphis... i was looking at gma's paper w/ everyone's address and phone #, and i think that jason and jana live in memphis, tennessee
Good one Jay!
And yes Angela it is tomorrow at midnight!
I can see the Sarah angle.
Unvote: Shirley
Vote: Sarah
By the way guys, since the doctor didn't save anyone last time, he can still save me tonight if mafia goes for me this time! So I might be able to give you more info! Hopefully the doctor takes some action this time...show us your ninja skills doctor.
By the way we need a total of 7 votes this time, needing 3 more--and yes Jana said we are extending it until Sunday night, but she could possibly extend it till tomorrow night, since a whole lot of people still haven't commented. But we need to start hearing from people soon!
I'll vote for Sarah too, although, I'm still very suspicious of my mom.
I hope the doctor does his/her job tonight too. It would suck to loose someone else that we might not have had to.
Vote: Sarah
My vote is still for Shirley.
Vote: Shirley
guys... i think they're both mafia, but we need to choose one or the other... it doesn't help AT ALL if we have 4 for shirley and 3 for sarah... let's agree!!!
2 for shirley
4 for sarah
jeez!!! lets get one of them!
I think Sarah and Jake were out at the sand dunes and his parents house, so don't know how much internet access they had. They will be home tonight. I will try and call and remind them to vote.
angela - we need your vote... it 4-2 for sarah right now, and you have the power to make it 5-1... help out!!!
I don't think it is Sarah, I am a firm believer that first instincts are correct and Jason's (detective)first instict was Aunt Shirley so I'm going with that
Vote: Shirley
Sorry to be so slow, have had a very busy weekend. Also, I wanted to address the fact that I didn't vote for Kari until late. Mayor Hair had previously posted that we would probably have until late to vote since she wouldn't check it until morning. And some of us are a little busy (building a house, having a job, taking care of my son, packing for vacation etc.) to be reading 100 comments.
Citizens,
This may be the longest town meeting in history. Because there are still 5 people that need to vote and there are only 2 hours left, I feel I have no choice but to extend this day until tomorrow night. We are waiting to receive votes from Jake, Eric, Sarah, Jeff, and Shirley. If they haven't voted by tomorrow night, TOO BAD, the day will be over. We can't carry on indefinitely.
The votes are as follows:
4 for Sarah
3 for Shirley
I appreciate all the thought that is going into eradicating the mafia from our dear town. Keep up the good work!
-The Mayor
Oh, and as for my vote this time, I am still thinking it could be Jason, since as far as I know anyone who wanted to could say they were the detective. And who is to say that Charlie, Hillary or Jay (who have been "cleared") are not mafia with Jason? or maybe Angela since she seems to want to go along with whatever he says?? This having been said, I just got home from a long trip and I am very tired so since I can't vote for myself to help with that majority...
VOTE: SHIRLEY
Good luck tonight doctor-may the force be wtih you!
we're almost at a deadlock as to whether or not sarah is mafia, but no one has argued against the proposal that shirley is mafia, so i propose that all of us who have voted for sarah vote for shirley
Unvote: Sarah
Vote: Shirley
sarah - you still look suspicious by process of elimination... see my post above
for those of you who believe that jason is mafia, consider this: he led the movement to kill kari, a mafia... now, i swear, im a townie, as jason said, and i firmly believe he is the detective...
What is the vote count at? Anyone know.
4 for shirley
3 for sarah
5 for Shirley
3 for Sarah
youre right sry
So we only need two more votes for Shirley? Jason, feel like changing your vote?
yeah, jason... change your vote
I will try to get Jake to stop and vote when he gets home from school and before he goes to work on our house. I am guessing his vote will be Shirley as he would not dare vote for his wonderful wife (or at least he better not!)
Sorry, we just got to the library to use the internet. I vote for Sarah, I've had a feeling about her for some time.
I forgot to vote correctly.
VOTE Sarah
I really think you guys are making a bad choice going for Shirley--I really don't think it's her. But Sarah, I believe really is the culprit.
My vote remains the same. Please make the switch.
5 for Shirley
4 for Sarah
Citizens,
With only five hours left before this day ends, I plead with you to make your voice heard! Jake, Eric and Jeff have yet to vote.
For a town killing tonight, Sarah needs three more votes and Shirley needs two. I don't like being scared to sleep at night, so let's get those mafia!
-Madam Mayor
I know that with a vote for Shirley we get closer to a majority, but I am with Jason and believe that Sarah is guilty.
Vote: Sarah
Only two more votes for either Shirley or Sarah. Jay I plead with you switch your vote now, before it is too late and we kill another innocent townie.
Jay please don't change your vote. I heard that Jake is going to vote soon when he gets done working on their new house for the night. I don't believe he will vote for Sarah so if he goes with Shirley that will leave us only one vote shy. Please stay strong with Shirley.
Vote: Shirley
one more for shirley, but two more for sarah... jason, even if you believe that shirley is innocent, you're not going to get your way in executing sarah, so please, for the sake of good, help us kill shirley... again, we MUST get a kill tonight, or we're handing the mafia a free execution: you!
i'm not changing my vote, but i urge anyone who reads this to just get us that one last vote!!! i really don't care whether we kill sarah or shirley; i believe that they're both mafia, but we must get one of them, or the mafia get a free night of killing... we're closer to shirley, but if in the next 40 minutes it switches to the point that one vote is required to kill sarah, i will switch
