DAY 4: a celebration?

POP! FIZZZ! BANG! BANG! SSPPPZZ! BANG BANG!

The mayor jumped out of bed and ran to her window in alarm. Red, green, blue and orange lit up the sky. Fireworks? What the heck? As far as she knew March 26th was NOT a holiday, not in Sooty, not anywhere, and yet she couldn’t help but enjoy them.

The mayor put on her bathrobe, made a bowl of steamy hot oatmeal, and decided to sit out on her front porch and enjoy the display. This wasn’t the first time someone in Sooty got creative celebrating a birthday or anniversary, and she was happy to be a partial recipient of such a great gift. With such horrible events happening in town of late, it was nice to be able to take a break and actually smile again.

Eventually the fireworks were over and the mayor got dressed. On her way to work she decided she would stop by the center of town and make sure the entertainers had cleaned up after themselves. She was surprised to see all the townspeople there, huddled around something, and whispering amongst themselves. Once they spotted her, the town slowly stepped aside to reveal Jason’s lifeless body. The mafia had used his body as the platform for lighting off those hundreds of fireworks, and the entire town had enjoyed the show. Her husband, a not-so-under-cover detective, was dead. The mayor fainted again. (At least he went out with a BANG!)

It is now DAY. You have until Thursday at midnight to root out the mafia. We NEED a majority! I want to remind y’all not to discuss it unless on the blog (unless you’re dead, of course).

    When Jason saw that picture of himself he said, "Hey, my hair is still white!"

    Thought I'd share, it was pretty funny.

    Jana, you sure picked a disgusting way to kill your hubbie!

    Wait a minute, I didn't do it, the mafia were the ones that killed him! :)

    I forgot to say that now there are only 11 people left, so you need 6 for a majority. Good luck!

    I feel obligated to lead us to an execution...

    Still alive are:

    Angela
    Charlie
    Deena
    Eric
    Heather
    Hillary
    Jake
    Jay
    Jeff
    Sarah
    Shirley

    Cleared by Jeff leaves:

    Angela
    Deena
    Eric
    Heather
    Jake
    Jeff
    Sarah
    Shirley

    Looking back over the comments that killed Kari leaves:

    Deena
    Jake
    Jeff
    Sarah
    Shirley

    Taking into account the fact that the mafia tried to kill Jeff, we have:

    Deena
    Jake
    Sarah
    Shirley

    I am convinced that two of these four must be mafia... Plz comment on my ideas...

    I don't think that the mayor would make husband and wife both mafia. Which I think rules out Jake, It would be too easy. And in one of Deena's post she said that she was too busy with school work to comment so I don't think that it is her. I am interested in maybe what Heather is??? But I am willing to sacrifice my loving relationship with my little sis. and .....

    VOTE:SARAH

    ALSO JUST GOT A CALL FROM MY MOM WHO GOT A CALL FROM TRISH. APPARENTLY GRANDMA IS REALLY SICK WITH INFLUENZA B. SHE IS STILL AT HOME BUT IS ON OXYGEN AND ANTIBOTICS. JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW AND WE SHOULD PROBABLY KEEP HER IN OUR PRAYERS.

  8. Mom said...

    I must have caught it from Grandma before we left, because last night, I got sick. I go to the doctor tomorrow morning. As the oldest surviving citizen, I want to leave you my wisdom and knowledge, Sarah is Mafia, I know it. Jason thought too, so lets do homage to his memory and vote for Sarah.

    VOTE Sarah

    I think it important that I clear up how the roles are chosen. I didn't pick who is who in this game, I put everyone's name into a list on www.random.org and it randomized them. I then used the first 3 people as mafia, the next 2 were detectives, and the 6th name was the doctor. It doesn't have anything to do with who you live with or who your brother or sister or cousin or aunt or uncle is--it's fair and everyone is a suspect, regardless of living conditions. I hope that helps.

    I see. Thanks for clearing that up dear mayor. So do we still have one more detective alive and two mafia, correct??

  11. Anonymous said...

    I still think Aunt Shirley has something to do with the Mafia but will hold off voting until we reach more of a consensus. Since we are now without Jason we are really going to have to work to find the mafia

  12. Jay said...

    I'm gonna agree w/ the consensus...

    Vote: Sarah

    btw, i called grandma to ask her how she was doing, and apparantly she's getting a lot better... she didn't want to go to the doctor, but grandpa made her, good thing... i think if anyone wanted to give her a call to ask how she's doing, it might cheer her up...

  13. Hillary said...

    I voted for Sarah last time so I'm going to stay consistent and vote for her again.

    Vote: Sarah

  14. Hillary said...

    Two more votes for Sarah and she's a gonner. Come on guys, we can't let another day go by without lynching someone!

  15. Jay said...

    well said hillary, thats the point i was trying to make yesterday, and the day before, and the day before... :)

    I am not even going to try and plead my case since for some reason you all already think I am guilty. It's okay, I am willing to sacrifice, better to kill someone than no one like we did last time. But I am going to question Jay's logic: I understand that Hillary, Charlie, and Jay were "cleared" by Jason, but how do the comments made by Angela, Heather, and Eric clear them? First Angela voted for Jay, then changed to Shirley, then over to Kari (just following the crowd to appear innocent?). Heather first voted for Jason (as did I) then switched over to Kari, as did most people. Also, Shirley never voted for Kari (my little girl-blah,blah,blah). Anyway just wanted to throw in my two cents, since it seems I may not be around much longer.

  17. Anonymous said...

    Oh, and I am going to...

    Vote:SHIRLEY

    Even though it probably won't make a difference

  18. Jay said...

    i cleared angela because, well, she wasn't just following the crowd... jason was the first to vote for kari, i was the second, and she was the third... at the time she votes, we weren't all that close to consensus... i think it's pretty clear that angela isn't mafia... about heather, well, she was next, and you sarah, voted VERY LAST... talk about following the crowd... now, that doesn't make you guilty, but in my book, the earlier you vote for a mafia person, the more likely you are to be innocent...

    Ms. Mayor is there still one more detective out there yet to reveal themselves to us????

  20. Anonymous said...

    Yes, there is one more detective, one doctor, and two mafia still alive. I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to reveal themselves, as that is almost always a guarantee of death. Jason appeared to just be lucky for one night.

    As of now, the votes are as follows:

    4 for Sarah (needs 2 more)
    1 for Shirley (needs 5 more)

    This day will end at midnight.

    Thank you and I agree that the detective probably shouldn't reveal themselves. We need all the help we can get. But one question. Did the two detectives knew each other and have to decide together who to ask about or could they each ask about a player?

  22. Hillary said...

    I'm hoping the detective can start to lay hints for us. I really hate voting for someone blindly. But I guess the mafia would probably pick up on the hints just as well as the townies do.

    I think maybe we should start killing off the people who aren't posting just because they don't seem interested and therefore aren't really helping us either. If some of them would've posted last time, maybe we would've been able to actually get a lynching on our turn.

    Sorry, Sarah, your posting did sound a little innocent, however, so did Kari's posting leading up to her death. If you are innocent, I appologize. But I am starting to suspect Heather, as you suggested.

    I have to vote for Hillary. It is not very often that you can choose to have your spouse die and not be in trouble for it. I know that she is not guilty; I just want to do it.

    Vote: Hillary

  24. Mom said...

    Good news, I went to the doctor this morning and I don't have the flu, just a cold! I still awful though.

  25. Jay said...

    i can see the points about heather, but i really think that it's in everybody's best interests to get sarah... we're only two votes away from getting her... and charlie, why won't you just go with the majority and vote for sarah!?!? if we end up being one vote short, it'll be your fault because you voted for your wife, who was cleared by jason the same way you were...

    also, shirley, i'm glad you don't have what grandma has... it's not a great thing to get ;)

  26. Kurt said...

    I'll vote Sarah again. She seems like a likely candidate.

    Vote: Sarah

  27. Jay said...

    thanks kurt... charlie, you have the power to finish sarah off...

    i just got off the phone with grandma, and she says that she her health has improved immensely... the drug she's taking for it is really helping, and grandpa's taking half of what she is so he can stay immune... she'll get a flu shot next year hopefully... she would appreciate it if you gave her a phone call; if you don't want to look up her number, it's (801) 544-8245

  28. Jay said...

    wait, kurt??? he's dead, so that must be heather... in that case, i edit my previous post to acknowledge heather's smart choice in voting for kari

  29. Anonymous said...

    It was probably Kurt trying to be funny. We better not count on that vote, in case it is Kurt.

  30. Jay said...

    well, hopefully it's heather...

  31. Heather said...

    It was Heather. I tried reposting it twice to say it was me. Hope this one goes through.

    Vote: Sarah

  32. Heather said...

    It does sound like the kind of thing Kurt would do to be funny.

  33. Anonymous said...

    If people are coming back from the dead...I want to join in. KILL CHARLIE!!! He seems to be a good choice. :)

  34. Jay said...

    ok good :)

  35. Jay said...

    see, though, it wasn't kurt, it was heather, kari, so no zombies yet... your post was merely a whispering in the wind that we barely even noticed

    Sorry, I know I'm a little slow in posting. Jeff is at a group meeting right now but when he gets home I'll have him vote but I think my vote is enough to reach majority since it was Heather not Kurt...

    Vote: Sarah

    cool deena, thanks
