DAY 1: One Down, One Saved!

Foreman Hicks usually allows her crew the day off on Sunday, but with the deadline only 2 weeks away and the store not quite finished, she had to require them to work today. As the crew dragged themselves onto the work site at 5:30 am, they greeted each other sleepily. They were to begin working by 6 and most of them liked to get started early so the day would be over faster. By 6:30 however, Jay was no where to be found and everyone was very worried. Jay was usually very dependable and it was not like him to not show up for work without calling. As Angela was about to get the tools out of the tool shed she heard something. She looked behind the shed and found Jay, lying on the ground moaning. He was bleeding badly from his head. Angela shouted for help and everyone rushed over.

Jason pulled out his cell phone and called 911. Jay was incoherent but alive; for that everyone was thankful. There was a big bucket laying next to his head. Nails were spilling out of the top. It looked like someone had dropped the bucket from the crossbeams above.

Sadie looked around and saw a second bucket laying on the ground. This one was full of rivets. She pointed it out to the rest of the crew. They looked and saw foot prints going away from the area and everyone knew that the second bucket had been meant for someone else, but they must have been pushed out of the way at the last second. Thank goodness for a good Samaritan, looking out for one of their own.

The ambulance arrived to take Jay to the hospital. The EMT said that it looked as though Jay would make a full recovery in a few days but that he'd need to stay at the hospital for observations. The EMTs commented to each other that it was odd that Jay would be working construction since he is an MD after all.

As Jay was being pushed into the back of the ambulance he gained consciousness enough to shout, "Tis only a flesh wound. I've had worse!"

Now it is the day time. As you work on the site you talk amongst yourselves and decide whom to fire. You must make sure that as many of you stay safe as possible. "Day" will last until midnight on Monday. You will need 10 votes for a majority firing. Remember those that are fired are finished with the game. As Jay is now incapacitated at the hospital, he can't comment. He will be allowed back on Tuesday, May 7th.

    Yeah! We're first to comment! Merrit and I(Alexis) are alredy thinking about Heathurt(Heather+Kurt). Merrit was only wrong once in the previous game. He might be right now. If I only ever commet alone, don't listen to me(Alexis), but Merrit is over my sholder now. He thought about Heathurt and I agreed. We won't vote yet.

    Hmmm...Jay was a good one to take out, as he is usually very opinionated and gets the bad guys! I think some of the mafia might be afraid of Jay because of previous games. Who would he scare? I'm going to say Sarah or Emily. Last game they seemed quite suspicious of Jay. I'll start the voting to get this game rolling.

    VOTE: Sarah

    By the way, it's difficult to go from being the moderator to not knowing what's going on with everyone! Agk!

    I know we aren't playing, but we are following along for fun...but we are curious, Hillary, did you just give away that Jay was one of the doctors? If so, why did you do that?

  4. Hillary said...

    I did, because, if the mafia had killed him (like in the last two games) his role would've been revealed then. I debated about what to do if they can come back. I felt it was too unfair for the mafia to not be able to find out what the roles of those they target just because their vicitims can come back. This way the mafia will have to decide if they want to go after the same person again on their turn, or if they should target someone else. Because these are new rules, I thought that we would just have to see what happens and if it doesn't work out too well, we'll just change things for the next game.

  5. Jason said...

    I'm going to say Angela because she also would be worried about what Jay would say.

    Jana and Jason,
    What is up with picking on the sisters, huh.....What did we ever do to you.

    Vote: Jason

    because I am hoping that my sister will stick to her revenge plot and vote Jason too...

    I vote Jason too because I feel like it! :p

    And no I'm not the sister she is talking about.

    Just following the crowd.

    VOTE: Jason

    And yes, I'm the sister that's out for revenge, but I think the Godfather is actually the mafia... I mean, the saboteurs because he always seemed to be against Jay.

    Oh and I didn't do it properly.

    VOTE: Jason

    I'm not whatever the bad guys are, btw.

  11. Hillary said...

    I'm sorry, Emily. Is "saboteur" a big word for you?

  12. Jana said...

    Wowzers, everyone is out for my sweet husband. It might be him, who knows at this point? I'm sticking with Sarah, because she didn't even address the fact that I voted for her. She might just be trying to not make a big deal out of it, hoping that nobody else will notice or care.

  13. Anonymous said...

    I just figured no one cared what Jana thought since she is a first timer to the Hutchinson mafia and doesn't know how to play when she doesn't know who everyone already is... Just kidding, I just didn't know I needed to address it.

  14. Anonymous said...

    No, I'm just too lazy to remember how to spell it AND that they aren't mafia.

  15. Heather said...

    I'm easily swayed by public opinion. I'll vote Jason.

    Vote: Jason

  16. Jana said...

    Where is everyone? Maybe a reminder email that we're actually playing would be in order.

    Jason is acting pretty apathetic about this game, which makes me think it might be him as well. He is usually very into these games, but this time he seems to be distancing himself from it. I wonder if he's trying to stay out of the limelight to avert suspicion. I still think it's strange that Sarah hasn't said ANYTHING about me voting for her except that she didn't know she had to say anything. For the time being, however, I'll go along with y'all.

    UNVOTE: Sarah
    VOTE: Jason

  17. Hillary said...

    Yeah, Jana, I was wondering the same thing. Where is everyone? I'll send out reminder emails and make sure everyone knows they need to vote by tonight.

  18. Anonymous said...

    Yeah, if more people don't get on, we won't have enough votes to fire someone, which would be sad.

    Yeah, it seems strange that Jason hasn't said anything since he was so into it the last time we played. I hate the first day of voting because all it is is guessing.

    VOTE: JASON

    Well that's 7 votes for Jason so far and none for anyone else at the moment.

    Did anyone notice that Josh hasn't commented yet again on this game? Does he really want to play or is someone making him because you would think that someone who texts so much would be able to handle blogging every once and awhile. Maybe we should start the non-blogging rule again. It seemed to work last game and we almost would have killed a mafia(Eric) the first day.

  24. Anonymous said...

    True, I am willing to switch to Josh or anyone else that everyone thinks is a good non-blogging candidate for death...

    Everybody who has posted has voted except Merxis. Where is everybody? My bed time is fast approaching.

    Has mafia lost its momentum? I hope more people get on and vote! I'll get Jason on here to defend himself.

    Hey, guys, sorry I couldn't get on. I haven't been home.

    I have been reading and it looks like Jason... But think about it. If we lose Jason then we may lose someone who is extremely good at solving mysteries. I was know him... Trust me! I don't think it is him. And it seems like there is more to this. Also, to help Jason, Jana don't you think that he would be more into it! So that he doesn't get out and that he will win. It is much better to do that than anything else, right?

    Hmmmm. Lets see... I think I will vote for Jana because I think that she is the one that knows both families and she would be perfect to fool us all!

    VOTE: Jana

    Wow it's already 9pm almost. Sorry I was really tired and took a long nap after work. Anyway it looks as though something has to happen so...
    Vote: Jason

  33. Daniel Moroni Hair said...

    I am sticking with what I said though. I wish you could stay Jason but it looks like you'll be voted out. But common Jason, defend youself!!! I am not going to vote for anyone until everyone has spoken I have decided.

    UNVOTE: Jana

  34. Hillary said...

    O.K., Jason has 9 votes. I'm glad we've heard from a few more. Thanks guys!

    I hope more people get on before the day ends. I'm going to bed though.
    Good night!

  35. Anonymous said...

    All right, so I don't really think Jason is guilty of anything but somebody has to go so please we only need one more vote!

  36. Jason said...

    Okay sorry guys, it's finals week I probably actually shouldn't have started this game, especially since we're leaving for vacation on Friday for a whole week. That is why I have been apathetic--if you must kill me off so be it, though I will try to post more if you keep me alive. And how many times have you went for me now Angela and Sarah, and just because of revenge. Mafia are all about revenge. Well I don't think my vote will do anything--since I don't think enough people will get on here before closing time, but here goes:

    VOTE: Angela

    Now I'm going to bed, if I get killed, once my role is revealed, please exterminate Angela for me--I can feel mafia emmanating from her.

    Now get back to work and make sure all those small Ma and Pa stores get put out of business!!

  37. Jason said...

    Danny don't fire me it's not worth getting rid of a construction worker, plus I'm on of the 10 (or so) out of 20 (or so) commenting--getting rid of a fellow work-buddy AND getting rid of people that will actually vote will be detrimental. I think you guys are right lets go for the people who aren't commenting!

    If Jason wants to try and fire me, then I shall vote him out!

    Vote: Jason

  41. Jana said...

    Jason is pressuring me to change my vote, and I'm not sure it's him as I said before. I know we only need one more vote, so I would hate to ruin our only chance at firing someone today, BUT...it's annoying that not everyone is commenting and I'd like to "out" those not really playing.

    Kari and Eric said they would take over for me and Jason while we're gone next week, so don't worry about that.

    Umm...

    UNVOTE: Jason
    VOTE: Josh

    I'm going to go for those not playing during this "day." It would almost be better to have nothing happen tonight to keep one more voting body in the game. Grrr. I don't like it one bit.

  42. Daniel Moroni Hair said...

    Why would I get rid of someone that isn't even the sabatour. But it looks like you are fired. Dang it. It would have been fun with you.

  43. Daniel Moroni Hair said...

    Good thinking Jana.

    I'm siding with my husband on this one. I don't know much of what is going on so I too will jump on the bandwagon

    Sorry about that Jason but I knew that I would have at least Sarah's vote siding with me against you. I didn't really think that everybody would follow especially your lovely wife. Maybe you should pick on someone else next time. Good luck on finals and have fun in florida(?)
