Mafia: The Last Resort [EPILOGUE: THE END]

So hey. This is the obligatory bit where I roll out some excuse for my tardiness and general lack of existence... except it's not, because I must have driven you guys crazy with my apologetic attitude so far, and so chances are you don't want to hear it, but rather some actual meaningful stuff. What I will apologise for in advance, mind, is the fact I'm not really in that good of a mood at the moment, sitting somewhere between melancholic and pissed off, mostly because of what ive spent the past three days doing. It really doesn't suit me, but thankfully I don't have to write all too much right now so hmph.

Popping into the thread just after N3 started, it seemed wise to prepare myself before daystart. There are two big issues now that don't exactly shine well, but I can't bloody well do anything about 'em...

I'm David Roosevelt, and I'm a bit weird. I'm a rather chaotic individual, and I don't mean I have an untidy desk. I mean I'm literally plagued by the force of unrestrained chaos. It's not very nice, as you might gather, because not only do I have to put up with the physical manifestation of my affliction, which tends to cause disorder and confusion wherever I go, but I've also got the nasty mental stuff that exactly doesn't make for a good night's sleep. And that's why I'm here. Of course, then shenanigans transpire and I'm left trying to come up with a way of putting myself to use, which ends up being deliberately mucking around with people's rooms so that I can try and hamper any nefarious plots by causing as much commotion as possible.

tl;dr - Busdriver, and a crap one at that. Not the role, but me.

Having never played as one before, I figured I could try and play pretend doctor N1 and redirect a kill. To that end, I drove PL and MrGuy; I didn't want to pick anyone who would be a particularly obvious target for a kill, because chances are they'd also be the target of some other action and despite flavour to the contary, I really did not want to cause a fuss. PL, as far as I was concerned, was the next step down from Mirdini, and MrGuy... well, I wanted someone scummy to bear a redirected kill, obviously, but I was honestly quite ok with PyP (...), Pinary was always going to look a bit scummy whatever his actual alignment and g0m "magic bagging" was, well, g0m. So I went a little leftfield, to someone who had made three posts, one of which was nipping in to place a vote on the wagon and another a fair few hours later, seemingly an afterthought, was an explanation of that vote. It seemed a bit like he'd realised an unexplained vote wasn't a good thing and although in retrospect worrying about it was probably also a townie thing at the time it seemed like something to work with.

...then N2. I was busy. I said I was busy. In fact, I didn't remember the deadline until about an hour after it. I was just about to go sleep (heck, I was in bed on the iPad at the time), so cue an attempt at scrambling through the Star Chat, getting about as far as VISIONARY, realising that I didn't have a clue what was going on and if I wanted to be prompt with my late action I'd probably just try to do something that was as unlikely as possible to muck anything up. I decided I was probably not the most interesting target and then did a search for each of the first few names of peeps I recalled as being players to see who hadn't shown up and thus probably weren't entangled in any plans.

So N2 I drove myself with g0m. Who is now Sanzh. FAIR ENOUGH.

Vote: Sanzh

"But Sruxy," I hear you cry, "why didn't you just choose not to use your action?" Well, that's a very good question; I didn't think about that possibility until the next morning, by which point it really was a bit too late. I do apologise for not having kept calm and instead panicking under the pressure. If it's any help, mind, I did do the sensible thing of forgoing my action last night and probably won't be abusing it any more from now on.

...and since then, Sanzh has claimed third party, which explains Solaris's "innocent" on him, and wheat has displayed some precognitive prowess and pinned me as a redirector. Now obviously I'm somewhat opposed to my own lynch, but with Pinary's prophecy needing fulfiling by some means and me not exactly being Mr Townie Twoshoes I daresay I've brought it upon myself. Sorry about that. All I can say is that 12 players with 2 living third parties does not bode particularly well, especially if we don't know whether or not that second kill is going to be a continuing thing, so I'm gonna echo wheat and say that we can't afford to rush things...

Oh and for the time being I am actually doing the whole Vote: Sanzh thing. Just saying.
