Posts from Мафия 10. The Experiment.

I apologize for being absent for the past 24 hours. I'll read the newspaper now...

So, this is whose ND we were waiting for all day, and it seems we didn't get it! :) *winks at everyone*

I don't know, I don't want to forgive Amka, it's better to execute him and be done with it, so he doesn't keep us up at night).
P.S. I thought the Mafia was slowing things down; they always do.

I'll be brief: ban Kash.

*yawns*

okay, Spock. I'm off.

Why are you attacking Kasha? For the Mafia, the most dangerous thing is Cholera, because she is unpredictable and deadly. It seems like she was taken out of the game today, though.
Okay, I'm going to sleep too. I think this night will be just as peaceful.

NNV. There is not enough evidence to say for sure.

I also vote for NNV. It's unclear.

NNV - 9 (Ta Kotoraya..., Xostor, Gur, Neyra Drake, Arandor, Avern, Vegtam, Amko, Freud)
Execute Kash - 3 (Wedma, Kash, KostyaN)

The day has passed, the second night begins.

Added after 10 hours 42 minutes

The second night of observations has ended. The experiment is proceeding successfully. In fact, many interesting changes occurred in the subject's organism tonight, but more on that later.
Contrary to the rules, I allowed my old friend, a writer and historian, to visit me during the tests. We had a few drinks, and then I began telling him about my research, specifically regarding the nocturnal events.
To my surprise, he listened with great pleasure and even decided to write a short story based on my observations.

Morning arrived; faint rays of light began to illuminate the Kingdom behind one of the forest glades covered in thick grass. Hundreds of spreading oaks stretched their narrow branches over a soft carpet of magnificent green turf. In some places, the trees parted, forming long avenues stretching into the distance, where the admiring gaze gets lost. Dew sparkled on the grass, left over from the cold night. Birds sang their beautiful songs, and somewhere a rooster crowed excitedly, signaling the start of a new day.
And he was right; a new day, full of surprises, had come for the kingdom.

At the top of a huge, round tower stood an elderly man of strong build. He watched spellbound as his Kingdom slowly woke up. The King enjoyed this solitude, but unfortunately, it did not last long. Another person appeared on the tower; it was a servant.
- Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
- What is the matter, Hermit? What caused you to disturb me at such an early hour?
- So much has happened tonight! The settlers are worried – catching his breath, he continued – and I myself slept fitfully; someone locked me in my own quarters!
Frowning, his interlocutor asked him to tell everything in detail.
- What?!! – the King blurted out – immediately order all settlers to gather in the town square!
Both men hurriedly left the tower.

- Hey! Wake up! – said a blonde girl, shaking a guy lying on a mat.
- A-a-eh, what do you want? – said Kash.
- What's wrong with you?! The King ordered everyone to gather in the town square! Get up, come on!
- I don't feel very well. I apparently drank too much yesterday; I couldn't get out of bed all night, and some stranger was guarding the door the whole time. I didn't know what to think.
- I see – said the girl, and after hesitating a bit, added – do you want us to not go anywhere, and I'll stay and look after you?
- Of course, thank you.

Everyone had already gathered in the town square (only two latecomers drew the king's disapproving looks – these were Wedma and Vegtam). This meeting foreboded nothing good – the King, with a clearly dissatisfied look, stepped onto the balcony leading from his Castle, and pronounced sternly:
- Citizens of the Kingdom! I have very bitter news! Today two settlers have left our world; it pains me to say this, but it was most likely done by one of the locals!
My scribe will tell you more about everything.
The grey-haired old man began his brief report:
- The torn-apart body of Freud was found not far from Xostor's Hut; what misfortune led him there tonight! The poor soul had his limbs amputated one by one, and then was deprived of his head! But do not worry, nothing and nowhere shall hide from His gaze. The Church will ensure a dignified burial.
A minute of silence followed, after which the scribe continued:
- The second victim of the killers was Arandor. He was luckier, and he did not die as agonizingly as Freud. Death overtook him under the windows of Kostyan, and he died of ruptured lungs. Unfortunately, we do not know what methods of murder the perpetrator used. Perhaps it was poison, or perhaps simple strangulation. Or was it dark magic?
- O Almighty! What is this?! Why in our sacred lands? – cried an agitated settler.
The scribe added his final words, then withdrew:
- And though Arandor was not the most righteous citizen, we shall mourn him.
After some silence, the King addressed the two latecomers:
Hey, you two. How do you explain your tardiness?
Wedma – oh Your Excellency, I must tell you that a secret admirer has appeared for me. He gave me a delightful drink with such a pleasant taste, after drinking which I felt more wonderful than ever! Only...
- What is the matter?
- It seemed to me that someone was watching me tonight, and it certainly wasn't the person who gave me the gift.
The King frowned.
- Hmm... And what can you say, Vegtam?
- Sir, I myself wanted to address you regarding the unrest in the city. You see, someone guarded my house all night. And only when I was convinced that no one was there did I leave the house.
- People! Someone is definitely being quartered today!
At this, the people began to discuss the events that occurred during the night.

Arandor

AA! I'm lucky! Thank you so much for protecting me from Arandor's evil intentions!:smile02: Could it be that the Defender tried again? Now, with two clues, we can identify him. Was Hermit blocked? - Another bad guy showed up, IMHO. For now, execute Hermit, and we'll see what happens... I'm still thinking about Freud's murder; the clues are always strange:smile09:.

P.S. Maybe I'm not calculating the Defender correctly, although it could be someone else:confused: ...

Hmm... Yes, I might be wrong; they might have been protecting Hostor from Freud, not me from Ara....

1. Checks/kills Phagocyte (city checker/maniac killer) – checks Freud, and he's a maniac? => Dead Freud – and brutally so. 2. Watches Antibiotic (suicide/kamikaze) – watches the Witch (“someone was watching me tonight”). 3. Protects Leukocyte (defender with 100% kill rate) – guards Cash (“some stranger was watching behind the door all night”). 4. Protects Monocyte (50% protection against M2 viruses) – Vegtam/Cash. 5. Protects Granulocyte (50% protection against M1 harmful substances) – Vegtam/Cash. 6. Blocks Lymphocyte (city block) – blocks Hermit (“someone locked me in my own chambers!”). 7. Blocks Alcohol (M1 block) – blocks Cash (“Yesterday, I must have had too much to drink”). 8. Checks the pathogenicity of Hepatitis (M2 checker) – blocked, or killed. 9. Kills Cholera (maniac); if Freud, then killed. 10. Kills Opium (M1) – kills the Arandor performer – flu/hepatitis? 11. Kills Flu (M2) – kills the Arandor performer – hero? 12. Kills Heroin (M1). 13. Kills Hepatitis (M2). 14. Kills Alcohol (M1). See point 7. 15. Kills HIV (M2 – does nothing yet). 16. Resurrects Thrombocyte (doctor) Witch (“having such a pleasant taste, after drinking which I felt so wonderful, as never before”). Thank you. “Arandor was not the most righteous citizen” – another mafia member down. The city is lucky in this game – at this rate, we might even the score. By the way, Ara was killed again by lung-related infections/substances. “You see, someone was watching my house all night” – about Vegtam: was he being protected like that? I doubt it’s a block: getting drunk and locking someone in a room is much more effective. “Will you stay and watch over me?” – Cash was being protected (he’s popular =)). I’ll think about the clues in the morning.

- Hey! Wake up! – said the blonde girl, nudging the guy lying on the mat.
- A-a-h, what do you want? – said Kash.
- What?! The King ordered everyone to gather in the town square! Get up!
- I don't feel very well. I must have had too much to drink yesterday; I couldn't get out of bed all night, and some stranger was guarding the door all night. I didn't know what to think.
- I see – said the girl, and after a moment of hesitation, added – do you want us to not go anywhere, and I'll stay and take care of you?
- Of course, thank you.

Our little monster's dreams seem to have come true ;) :O! I wonder who this blonde beauty is :smile08:? We want details :smile08:!
Or maybe it was you and Taco :O :D? Maybe she's a kind doctor x).

“Arandor was not the most righteous citizen” – another one bites the dust)) The city is lucky in this game – maybe at this rate, we'll even the score. By the way, Ara was killed again by pulmonary-respiratory infections/substances.

Or maybe this is a hint about his stats? It's not a fact that he was a Mafia member) maybe he was a Lymphocyte or an Antibiotic? :O
By the way, I think Ulric (Fraid, for those who don't know :)) was a good guy x). Although it's not a fact, but I still believe him (correction, I believed him).
P.S.: since when have microbes and the body become a kingdom, with priests? And where did they get limbs from? Oo:confused:

I'm not voting yet. I hope the evil HIV doesn't steal my vote. Although, I don't want to leave NNV today\.

KostyaN, if I were a mafia member planning a hit, and I was being blocked, then there should have been not two kills, but one.

P.S.: Since when did microbes and the organism become a kingdom with priests? And where did they get limbs from? O.o :confused:

We had a little too much to drink.

Well, it's obvious here.)

Or maybe it's a hint about his stats? It's not a fact that he was a Mafia member. Maybe he was Lymphocide or Antibiotic? :O

Well, he could have been a Mafia member. We have two warring Mafia groups.

Well, it's obvious.

I've looked through it.

Well, he could have been a member of the Mafia. We have two warring Mafia groups.

I agree, this option is possible. I'm just saying that he could have been a good guy too.

Oh, Meg!! :D Thank you.

Hey! Wake up! – said the blonde girl, in a single night, pushing the guy lying on the mattress.
- A-a-eh, what do you want? – said Kash.
- What do you mean?! The King ordered everyone to gather in the town square! Get up!
- I don't feel very well. Yesterday, I probably drank too much; I couldn't get out of bed all night, and some stranger was guarding the door all night. I didn't know what to think.
- I see, – said the girl, and after a moment of hesitation, added – do you want me to stay and take care of you instead of going anywhere?
- Of course, thank you.

In a single night – is she wearing only one outfit?
Thank you – does that mean :-*?
Hehe. Nice.
By the way, that's a great story; I didn't expect that from Revan.

Again, they were both wandering around somewhere; they don't necessarily have to be murderers; they could just be peaceful NPCs. We need to check again.
It seems like the Witch described it well; it seems to match, but we need to think about the evidence.
It's a bit sparse for Freud:

The poor guy had his limbs amputated one by one, and then they took his head!

For Areg (he's not upset – is he sleeping?), it's a little more interesting; there's something to investigate.

He died of a ruptured lung. Unfortunately, we don't know what methods the perpetrator used to kill him. It could have been poison, or it could have been simple strangulation. Or was it dark magic?

In general, the evidence is... hmm. I think
