Things to remember:
1) The rules, roles, and basic theory of mafia games can be found here: http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page How will this game be different? Yeah, like I'm gonna tell you. Dork...

2) We don't lynch people here. Where do you think you are, the Wild West? In the American government, we impeach them (well, it's a two-step process of impeachment and conviction for you sticklers out there, but let's not go overboard). So when you vote to remove somebody during the Day phase, do so by typing Impeach [Player] in bold. If you wish to change your vote, please type Change Impeach: [Player]. Voting for 'Nobody' is also okay, but it's pretty spineless and boring if you ask me.

3) I don't think anybody HAS to use their powers every Night, but if you are the kinda meek and dull person that would actually forgo taking full advantage of using the gifts God (a role played by me) gave you, it speeds things up if you PM me a note saying, "I am a loser and therefore do not wish to target anyone tonight. Please have mercy on my soul."

4) Okay, let's go through the quick list of no-nos:
- PMing unauthorized people. I will let you know, either through your role or during the game, who (if anyone) you may PM. Contacting anybody else is verboten.
- Editing posts in this thread. If you let something slip or say something stupid, sorry... you gotta live with it.
- Copy-and-pasting anything I send to you via PM.
- Posting in this thread after you are out of the game. There will be a slight exception for this game, but you will know when it is okay.

Breaking these rules will result in a ban from any future mafias I run, and I will also mention your shenanigans to other mafia mods.

5) Please remember that this is just for fun, and act accordingly. I mean, it's not like it's fantasy football or something!

It was odd for the President of the United States to personally address the Senate on the first day of the Session, but Hugh Jass was an odd president. The father of wealthy politician from Texas, President Jass consistently went against the advice of his allies and paid experts, had mired the country in economic and international troubles, and was the owner of the lowest presidential approval rating since Richard Nixon as a result. He was all primped and pressed for the network cameras which had invaded your chambers this afternoon.

“My fellow stewards of the American people,” began President Jass, wearing that stupid grin which was always inappropriate to the occasion, “I’m here today to tell you that the country is in peril. Morale in this country is at an all-time low. People no longer trust the politicians, the people they have elected. They see them as greedy and corrupt, working at their posts only to enrich themselves. I’m here today to tell you I want you to prove them wrong. During this Session, show them you are here to make America a better place. For them. For us. For the world. I’m not the Divider, I’m the Uniter. Well, I’m also the Decider, but today I’m the Uniter. And today is the day that you’re going to help me unite the country. We can’t be caught up in partisan politics anymore, not on the eve of having to sent the butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers to the war in Ruritania. I’m counting on you.” As he finished, the Senate rose and delivered polite applause.

President Jass has used his power, “Bread and Circuses.” While it accomplishes nothing, it still wastes the entire Day phase.

Like usual, it was another night visit down to the Congressional file vault. Usually you spend countless hours going through reports, tesimony, expenditure forms, and other of the other thousands of forms a politician has to fill out as part of their daily routine. Today, though, you just took a few minutes with the vault register. Sometimes you have to cover your own ###.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

When you were a snot-nosed freshman senator, a kindly veteran took you under his wing and taught you the ropes. Thanks to him, you avoided all the frustrations a newtimer faces when they get to Washington DC. On the other hand, it was a pain rejecting him ever-so-politely every time you two drank at his home, he had too much, put on a calico dress and makeup and started propositioning you. Still, you have taken one lesson he taught you before his committal to a “wellness clinic” to heart: If you take care of people, they will take care of you. A big difference between you and your tutor is that you like to spread around your patronage. In fact, you were thinking of helping out a particular coworker tonight, but could not find him anywhere.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Your Mama always said timing was everything. She should know; she died when she was hit by a piece of Mir fell from space. Not having any political talent whatsoever, you figure your best chance to make an impression in Congress is to attatch yourself to a rising star. If you’re with them at the right time, the sky’s the limit!

The trick is to find the right horse to back. You thought you had the right guy today, only to find he left early to get home. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You can read a person from looking at their face. You don’t need a lie detector. Heck, you don’t even need to hear the words coming out of the person’s mouth as long as you can see their eyes. Poker face? Doesn’t exist when it comes to you. That’s probably why the other guys don’t invite you to the Senate Hold ‘Em games anymore. Well, that and you tend to drink every drop of booze in the joint.

You may not agree with that Jackanapes of a president, but he’s right about something. Congress stinks. It’s as plain as the burst blood vessels on your nose. But you’ll be darned if that ninny has anything to do with cleaning up house. You have your plans. A commission, headed by you. First, of course, you need to root out the bad seeds. You thought you’d target this one particular individual first, but he wasn’t at his office, nor was he at his usual haunts around DC.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“All I’m saying is, you’ve done so much for your constituents over the years. What have you got in return?” asked the Senator who had gotten to the point after twenty minutes of small talk.

“Why, I’ve been re-elected three times, and have gotten thousands upon thousands of letters of support over the years,” was the earnest reply of the person sitting at their desk.

“Support? Like during the WizKids stock scandal?”

“I was cleared of any wrongdoing and the investigative committee even apologized,” said the senator defensively. “Besides, you know I have no damn idea what a Creepy Freak is.”

“Still, your constitutents were ready to hang you, not to mention the beating you took in the divorce.” The guest assumed a caring tone. “It’s time you did something for yourself.”

“But I’m known throughout DC as the embodiment of clean politics.”

“That’s why it’s perfect. Nobody would suspect you. Come on. We’re not asking you to hurt anybody. You’d just be lining our pockets at the same time you help out America.”

“Well, that doesn’t sound too bad...”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Every night before leaving the office, you do the same thing. You plug your headphones into your record player (no CDs for you, no sir) for a little alone time. Of course, you also tend to sing along loudly, so it wouldn’t really be alone time if you didn’t dismiss your secretary, Alice, before getting down.

“When supper time came the old cook came on deck
Saying fellas it’s too rough to feed ya
At 7PM a main hatchway caved in
He said fellas it’s been good to know ya-”

Was that a noise? You turned to check, but all you saw was your replica 1997 NCAA Men’s Football Championship trophy coming at your head. Then nothing.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Misdirection. That’s what you’re all about. If everybody is focussed on something else, you can do whatever you want. You learned that from Daddy. When you were dirt poor, he used to set abandoned houses on fire, and while all the townsfolk went to check out what the firemen and police were doing about it, he would rob the vacated houses. Poor Daddy. When a strong wind caused one of his firejobs to spread to an inhabited house, he got all noble and tried to save the occupants. They shot him for tresspassing and put the fire out themselves. No good deed goes unpunished, huh?

Tonight’s target was going to become the new recipient of high-grade heroine, hidden somewhere they would never think to look. Then, if circumstances dictated, one anonymous tip is all it would take to make this senator’s life a living hell. Oh carp! You weren’t thinking about the task at hand, and now you broke your lockpick in the office door lock. You never do that. Augh!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The Senate is a well-oiled machine. Okay, it’s a creaky piece of #### ready to break down any second, but if their were more people like you, it would be a well-oiled machine. The problem is plain old laziness. Senators spend tons of time and money getting here, but once they punch their ticket, most of them don’t pull their weight. That’s where you come in. You crack the whip. You know what needs to be done, and you track down the people who have to do it. Today you need to catch up with that rude young whippersnapper, but for the life of you, you just can’t find him.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The president is right! The senate is a mess, something has to be done, and you may very well be the most qualified to clean it up. You have access to reports, people, and resources that can help you ferret out the good apples from the bad. But where to start? Ah! You know just the person. You make a few calls, get some people in motion, and get some files sent to your desk. But ny the end of the day, you get squat. They sure are a tough nut to crack.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Quick: Name a senator that you don’t have influence over? It’s a trick question! Everybody owes you their allegiance, or a favor, or likes you enough that they’ll do things for you. What can you say? You’re a people person. It also helps that you have your hand in so many pies. Of course, the downside of your extreme involvement is that you get jammed up for time quite often. Like today, for instance. Looking at your schedule, you notice that if two senators could trade committee review days, you could get out of the office today in time for your child’s birthday party. One of your coworkers is okay with the plan, and you’re sure the other would be, too, except you fail to ever get hold of them. Damn! Looks like little Johhny’s gonna wet the bed again.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hours later, as you prepared to finally head home to leftover birthday cake and an upset eight-year-old, you noticed something different about your desk as you grabbed your coat from the closet. That red envelop, that wasn’t here before. Maybe Denise put it there before she went home. Upon opening the envelop and looking at what was inside, however, you knew your secretary had nothing to do with this.

Never let there be any misunderstanding: You have always loved your wife. And you had several healthy relationships before her with women in high school and college. It’s just that they didn’t understand you the way Billy did. He felt so right in your arms. You melted whenever you gazed into his eyes. And he had the softest wool and cutest horns.

The pictures were professional in quality and didn’t leave much to the imagination. The note simply said, “You know what I want.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Boy, a body sure can be heavy, but you’re in pretty good shape, and the straps on your extra-large duffel bag distribute the weight just right. The real trick is to get a body out of the building without it showing up on camera, but you figured out how to take care of that a while back. Now you were in the safety of your own basement.

Once you stripped the body, you looked on the ball of the big toe on the left foot for that telltale sign that would reveal if could count tonight’s endeavor as a success. Plain pale flesh stared back at you. Damn, thwarted again! Well, it wouldn’t be a total waste. After the proper skinning, boning, and seasoning, you’d make great use out of the body.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Little Billy and Janey Poorpants don't need socialized education just because they can't afford an ivy league pre-school. Our children, our very way of life hinges on a single phrase I hope to hear in the near future: This Spelling Bee is brought to you by the letters K, F, and C.

As for the matter at hand, I have no useful information, so I will only hold the floor for eighteen more hours.

For twenty years I have constantly accompanied you on the road to honor and glory. In these latter times, as in the days of our prosperity, you have invariably been models of courage and fidelity. With men such as you our cause could not be lost; I have sacrificed all of my interests to those of the country.

I go, but you, my friends, will continue to serve Our Nation. Her happiness was my only thought. It will still be the object of my wishes. Do not regret my fate; if I have consented to survive, it is to serve your glory. I intend to write the history of the great achievements we have performed together. Adieu, my friends.

Another evening back in the file vault, but this time you were elbows-deep in paper. After the events of yesterday, something didn’t smell right, and you were going to get to the bottom of it, one puzzle piece at a time. What’s this? Looks like one of your colleagues took a sudden interest in the dealings of another...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On your second scotch each, you were approaching the climax of your well-rehearsed pitch. “We’re not out to hurt anybody. Heck, we’re responsible for enacting some of the most effective legislation in the history of this country.”

“Then why all the cloak and dagger stuff?” His words suggested resistance, but his body language was very receptive.

“Don’t get me wrong. We think we deserve a bigger slice of the pie,” you continued. “Think about what we do for America, compared to what we put up with. Heck, most professional athletes make way more money than we do, and what do they really contribute? We just want to even the scales a bit. You can’t argue with that.”

“No,” replied your listener, “I guess you can’t.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There was no way you’d let a fellow senator get the better of you. “Enigma wrapped in a riddle my ###,” you muttered to yourself as you dove deeper into reports. You made a few more phone calls, too. You wouldn’t quit until you knew this person better than they knew themself. And after a few more hours, you did.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You were a little surprised when your fellow senator called you for an after-hours meeting in his office. The door was locked, and he answered it personally when you knocked.

“You fire your secretary?” you asked innocently.

“No,” he replied with a smile, “She’s home for the day. I wanted our meeting off the record. Why don’t you come back into my office.”

It was a nice office, but one thing on the wall caught your eye. “That’s a mighty impressive swordfish you’ve got mounted there. You catch that yourself?”

“Of course,” he answered proudly. “When I was in the Virgin Islands back in ‘04. Uh, hey, I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t take it off the wall. You know how long it took to get that thing straight?”

Those were his last words, cut off when you rammed the swordfish’s bill right into his larynx.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It’s go time, you thought to yourself as you downed a double shot of whiskey and approached your target. After a little research, you had decided on who to zero in on next, and they were here for happy hour at Manny’s.

“What’s the good word?” you began with your usual intro.

“Oh, hey,” he responded. “You okay? You need a cab? You don’t look so well.”

“I’m fine,” you snorted. “Say, you think the Senate is as messed up as the people think it is?”

“I’m sure there are a couple bad apples,” he responded, “but that’s gonna be true of any organization.”

You needed something to work with. “You a bad apple?”

“You’re joking, right?”

“Just answer the question.”

“You know you can be a real #### when you’re drunk.”

“Answer it!”

“No, man. No. Now get outta my face.”

You watched his eyes the whole time. The eyes never lie.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Okay, drug stash, take two. Of course, never return to the scene of the crime, so this time you’re doing it somewhere else. Daddy didn’t teach you that, did he? No, probably not, that seems too intelligent for him. You’re running a bit later than usual, but you had to get a new set of lockpicks. Let’s face it, you can’t exactly have a staffer do that errand for you. No matter how loyal they are to you now, sooner or later, they’ll say something to the wrong person and then it’s your ###. Stop. Focus on the task at hand. There we go, this lock was easy as pie...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After weighing things over in your head, you decided the senator needed to go. They didn’t represent what was good and right about America. You couldn’t quite remember what they did that was so horrible, but that would be rectified by a quick sweep through your personal collection. That’s odd. You don’t seem to have anything on him. That can’t be right. Nope, it’s true, not a photo, not a jail report, nada. Okay, maybe you won’t be sending him anything, but you sure will be keeping an eye on him.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You were walking through the halls, trying to get to a certain senator’s office before he left for the day. That lazy ####### still hasn’t submitted their 25-SDW form (in triplicate) for the Committee on the Feasability of Appointing Subcommittees to Look into Late Paperwork. How is anything going to get done here if guys like him fail to do the simplest tasks? You were almost to his office when an elderly coworker bumped into you.

“Ah, hello,” he said with a kind smile. “What brings you down here today?”

“I need to talk to Senator Cage about fulfilling his duties in a timely manner. I need a report from him ASAP.”

“Oh, don’t worry about him, he’s got a lot on his plate right now. Tell you what. I’ll relay the message and make sure he does whatever you need as soon as possible, okay?”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

While enjoying some Fitzgerald stew, you undressed your latest victim’s body and held your breath in anticipation of what you might find. Damn! Nothing on the toe! When oh when would revenge be yours?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

JackAssterson is dead! He was James Town (R- Virginia), the Power Broker (Town).

Day 3 begins! 18 players remain. You need 10 votes to Impeach. You have 24 hours...

I'd love to do so but I'm not quite sure where to start; it seems folks are using the holidays - even if they're here - as a good 'cover' for staying quiet. :ermm:

We seem to have two individuals that really hate the rest of us - hellskingpin (though he could just be easily confused - kind-of a Byrd-style individual) and Iron Ham (not the killer though) - and I'm not sure if that means if they oppose us or are still in alliance alongside us.

I can vouch for Iron Ham.

Also, when you don't have leads, voting for someone random is a decent strategy. You have a chance to get a mafia member, or you can force them to provide a roleclaim and narrow the list of suspects. It's really the mafia who benefit from a day without a lynch (none of them die, and the list of suspects remains as long as it ever was).

Sooner or later, everybody in politics does something they probably shouldn’t do. Heck, one of your fondest memories is banging your opponent’s wife the very moment he was onstage giving his concession speech and saying what a great guy you were. And maybe you did some recreation drugs as a young adult, but who makes it through the Greek system at the University of Texas at Austin without that on your resume? No, your concern is the abuse of political power, and you got the skinny on one of your coworkers tonight.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Just because you couldn’t find him the other night didn’t mean you’d forgotten about him, nor that you’d given up. In fact, it was becoming somewhat of a quest with you. Locate him. Talk to him. Look him in the eyes. Discover the truth. Then get something to drink. Okay, get some more to drink, actually. You went to his office right after session, but his secretary said he’d already gone home for the day. Son of a #####!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You weren’t that surprised when some files you cross-referenced turned up missing from their boxes in the vault. The most likely explanation was they had been checked out, so you went to the log to see who currently had them. When there was no entry for the corresponding files, however, two thoughts came to mind. The first was that some idiot clerk must’ve put the papers back in the wrong place. You practically throw up in your mouth when you think of the vapid rich kids playing caddy to their father’s friends just so it looks good on a resume. Not only do they have no idea what they’re doing, they have no desire to learn and could care less how much they #### things up in the process. The second thought was that somebody had stolen the files. No, that takes too much foresight for a Congressional employee. It’s definitely an idiot clerk. Either way, you’re not getting what you came for.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There’s a guy you’ve had your eye on for awhile. You don’t know what it is about him, but you don’t like it one bit. The problem is, you don’t have anything on him in your personal collection. This is the start of a disturbing trend. You’re definitely going to have to get on your sources about producing more material.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Oh, this is too easy,” you said to yourself softly, a smile on your lips.

“Whoszat?” blared the red-nosed man as he straightened up. There were specks of vomit on his crimson tie.

“A fellow senator,” you responded. “What brings you to one of DC’s finest alleys this evening?”

“I jus powdrin my face. Wha choo doin?”

“Well, I was planning on killing you, although the alcohol may beat me to it.”

“Yoose a funny guy. I like yoo.” The man wobbled and almost fell.

You let him lean against you for balance, slowly taking off his tie in the process. “Thanks,” you said, as you began strangling him with your new crimson garrote. “Your approval means a lot.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The secretary led you into your coworker’s office. He didn’t seem to be doing much of anything at the moment, which irked you to no end.

“What can I do for you?” he asked pleasantly.

“It’s not what you can do for me, sir, but what you can do for your country. Have you read the feasability study for 1 chase in every case and written your 50-page recommendation yet?”

“No,” responded the man sheepishly. “I was planning to get to that later.”

“Well, the committee meets tomorrow afternoon. You’re the co-chair, and will play a very big role in the meeting, so I suggest you put your attention on it right now.”

“You’re right,” he relented. “I’ll get on it right away.”

You left with a grin of satisfaction on your face.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At this point, it seemed like stealing candy from a baby. “So many others are making a buck on the side, why shouldn’t you?”

“And you can guarantee me nobody gets hurt? I don’t wanna wake up one morning and find out that a nuclear power plant in Truth or Consequence, New Mexico has a leak because we skimped to put some coin in our pocket.”

“I promise. That’s not how we operate. You’ll see.”

“And we won’t get caught?”

You had this guy in the bag. He just needed a little hand-holding. “Have we yet? Who’s gonna catch us, the president? That guy couldn’t find his ### with two hands and a map.”

“Okay, I’m in.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You stripped down tonight’s victim while enjoying some James Town fajitas. Bare toe again! This can’t be happening! Are you going to have to kill every member of the Senate to get revenge?!? For a moment, the thought excites you. Well, it might look suspicious when you’re the only senator left.

The reason I think we were on track with Raiserb1ade is that I think the mafia in this game are the 'honorable' senators.

Does that jive with anyone else? I have a night power based on effecting Senators through their wrong-doings. It didn't work on Raiserb1ade and did not work on Uknown the night before.

I am thinking this makes them both mafia, ie - good Senators.

Maybe it's just hypothetical wrong-doings? Maybe not in-game wrong doings? We can't be sure at this point because we have no grounds. We just have a report that some senators are crooked. That could mean anything.

Night 4

You strode through the halls with purpose, your target being the only thing on your mind. But as you turned the corner, you bumped into a familiar-looking man.

“Can I talk to you for a second?” he asked.

Oh #### oh #### oh ####! “Uh, sure,” you replied, trying to hide your disappointment as your heart sank.

“Have you finished your report for the NAATK Committee?”

Sigh. “No.”

“Well, you better get on that, don’t you think?”

“Yeah,” you said with a sad exhalation of breath. You turned around and trudged back to your office, knowing all your plans were shot.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You weren’t sure what tack to take with this gentleman, so you thought you’d start out slow. “What’d you think about the President’s speech?”

“Huh?” said your audience as he lifted his head up from a stack of papers.

“The President. Talking about how the people think that the Senate is corrupt. Do you buy it?”

“I dunno. I guess any large organization is bound to have a few bad apples. Why do you ask?”

Hmm. That didn’t exactly provide the best opening. “You look really busy. Should I come back?”

“No offense, but Senator West is all over me for this report. Whatever you’re selling, I don’t have time.” And with that, you decided to focus your efforts elsewhere.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It didn’t take very long to check into the background of tonight’s probe. He was a new addition to Congress, so he didn’t have much of a background. Just to make sure, you took a little extra time to go deep. Boy Scouts deep. Apparently he did accidentally set another boy’s uniform on fire with a magnifying glass. In the end, you had your answers.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Whatever your target was doing in his office, he stayed awfully late. But you had patience, unlike dear old Daddy. So you waited. And waited. Finally, your coworker left, and you slipped in to deliver the goods. Amish pornography was a hot-button topic on the Hill these days, and any politician caught with a collection of it would surely be on his way out...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

When you returned to your office, a red envelop was on your desk. Funny, it wasn’t there before. How did it get there? Your secretary and aides had gone for the day. You opened it up and were shocked by the contents. Within were the details of the offshore accounts you used to hide the massive amounts of ill-gotten money you had laundered from the IRS. A note included with the documents said, “You know what I want.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If it happens in DC, you’ll find something about it in the vault. Presidential Panel, eh? Here’s an interesting tidbit...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Something’s going on in the Senate, and you don’t like it. People are disappearing, senators are retiring in disgust, and it’s time you got involved. See, you have a talent others don’t. You can sense a dirty politician in your gut. That’s right, when you really concentrate on an official, your gut starts itching if he’s not on the up-and-up. So starting today, it’s hunting season. Who’s first?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

While I feel disappointed that I will not be able to fulfill the duties I was elected to uphold, I also realize that while I handle this personal matter, I will not be able to satisfy those duties. While the support of my family has allowed me to balance my family responsibilities with my role in the Senate, even with their love, I will also need to concentrate all my personal efforts on the battle ahead. It is also imperative for the people of my great state to have representation that is 100% available to them. It is with these truths in place that I effectively submit my resignation.

The last couple of nights had been washouts, but you had a good feeling about this one. It takes a village and all that, and you’d make sure the right village was doing the raising.

“So, what do you think about President Jass’ secret panel on corruption?”

“I think it’s a great idea,” said your target with way too much enthusiam. “One of the reasons I came to Washington was to show my constituents that not every politician is lining their own pockets. I hope I can aid the President in a major capacity one day.”

Well, #### this guy.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Yor head was pounding, and you had business to attend to. You were so anxious, you counted down the number of hallways you had to walk to get to your destination: five, four, three, two, no, no, no, no, NO! Not him again! Okay, maybe this was a coincidence and he wasn’t here for you. Yeah, he’s gonna walk right by. Carp, he’s looking at you and slowing down...

“I finished the #### NAATK report!” you protested way too loudly.

“Ah, good job,” he said calmly, with a polite smile on his face. “Don’t forget to make enough copies for all the primaries. No, I’m here today about the Andorran Trade Conference. Has your office drafted the protocols yet?”

“Yes!” you answered triumphantly.

“Great. Secretary Richards is in my office. Let’s go grab ‘em and go over it with him. He’s a busy man, you know.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Oh yeah,” you said to yourself as you sifted through the files of the vault, “People love this guy.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As you slumped into your office seat in disappointment, you noticed the red envelope on your desk. Maybe it was a little bonus from the Big Guy. Upon opening it, you realized you couldn’t have been more wrong. Inside was all the evidence about your complicity in the Chinese product scandal. Copies of the documents which proved you knew everything that China made contained toxic levels of beryllium, yet you allowed all of it to be shipped and sold to America anyway: the Anorexic Annie dolls, the tartar-control peanut butter, the collectable superhero figures. Along with the damning evidence was a note that read, “You know what I want.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You trust your gut. And what your gut was telling you wasn’t pretty. You made another Xiang Xung peanut butter sandwich to calm it down.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After several days of rifling through mounds of paperwork, hitting the phones, and unleashing throngs of manpower, a single thought came to your mind: This could be the least corrupt Senate since the founding of the country.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Day 6 begins! 16 players remain. 8 votes is a majority (trust me).

I disproved nothing about Raiserb1ade. All I know is that my night power didn't work on him. It has worked on 1 corrupt and 1 town so far, so I don't know what that means for sure about RB. I agree with Uknown's feelings though.

Change vote: Lynch Raiserb1ade

A majority has been reached!

Although Vice President Richard Face was the presiding officer of the Senate, it wasn't often that he made presentations. "Some disturbing evidence has come to light. Due to the recent terrorist badger scare, most details of which I have classified Super Duper Top Secret, we recently added cameras to the garbage disposal area of the building."

While most of the senators had no idea where this was going, one man suddenly felt like the walls were closing in on him.

"After reviewing the tapes as per weekly protocol, we have discovered that someone has been using the garbage chutes to transport dead bodies from various offices without being detected. The bodies in question are those senators that have recently gone missing. A warrant was issued to search the perpetrator's house just two hours ago, where the remains of these senators were found in conditions I am too horrified to relate in public."

"Well, who is the responsible man?" asked an impatient senator.

Vice President Face leveled his steady gaze, which only failed him in deer hunting once in a while, at a man who had begun to blush a deep red. "Him," he said pointing. "Fred Bongwater of Oregon."

Fred knew the jig was up, and tried to run, but was held down almost immediately by security guards which had been sneaking up on him the entire time. "Damn you!" he cried. "Damn you all! Can't you see who's pulling your strings? You're all puppets for Knees and Toes! Those bastards wouldn't led me in their club all those years ago, and now they're using you! Mark my words, they'll destroy you! Destroy all of you!" He was still raving as he was led away.

"Well, I don't see how this day could get any weirder," said one senator to another.

Just then, an aide came in and whispered something to VP Face, who grew a grim countenance. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Senator Snowbird was found dead in her office, apparently the victim of an overdose..."

Raiserb1ade has left the Senate. He was Fred Bongwater (R- Oregon), Cannibal of Peers (Neutral/Town).

hellskingpin is dead. He was Esther Snowbird (D- Arizona), Minion (Corrupt).

Night 6

With all the crazy things going on in the Senate, you finally decided to get off the sidelines and get in the action. The only problem was, as a relatively new member, you weren’t exactly sure how to go about things. While you were pondering the situation, one of your coworkers strode up to you.

“Mr. Hedd, have you done all the required reading for your junior seminar tomorrow?”

Oh carp. With all the craziness going on, you had completely forgotten about it. “No,” you replied sheepishly.

“Well, then I suggest to get to work.”

Looks like saving the Senate will have to wait another day.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You had a red envelope all ready, but a kindly senator was standing right next to your target’s door. “Good evening, sir. What brings you here today?”

“I just had something I’d like to go over with our colleague,” you lied glibly.

“I’m afraid he has a lot on his plate right now. Is there anything I can bring to him?”

Most definitely not. “Uh, no. I’ll just touch base with him later.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You wanted a little face time with a coworker, to see what your gut would say about him. But when you got to his office door, one of your coworkers was standing there as if he had nothing better to do.

“Ah, Mr. Driller. How are you this evening?” he asked.

“Just fine. Here to see Senator Cage.”

“I’m afraid he’s up to his neck in work. I’ve just been with him, and he asked that nobody disturb him. Maybe you’ll have better luck tomorrow.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You were about to dive into the stacks for what hoped to be an enlightening search, when you nearly jumped out of your skin at the sound of a human voice.

“Mr. Eye, are you in here?” asked the voice from the front of the room.

You recognized the speaker, a veteran. “Yes, Phillip, I’m back here.” A few seconds later, the pleasant man was a few feet away from you. “What are you doing here?” you asked. “Nobody comes down here.”

“Why, I was looking for you. I still owe you dinner from our OSU/Pitt wager. What do you say we grab something at Chez Freak right now?”

You did want to do some research, but it’s hard to pass up Chez Freak. “Okay, you’re on.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You were treading softly, because you couldn’t get a good read on your target, and you also had the feeling he was dejected about something. “Can you believe President Jass with his panels and accusations about corruption in the Senate?”

“Oh, I believe him. There’s no doubt that Congress is filled with guys out for themselves. The thing about Jass is that he’s a complete idiot and doesn’t have the first clue about how to fix a flat tire, much less goverment.”

Abort, abort, abort. “That’s what I mean. Pressident Jass, what a moron!”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Everybody made it out okay! Day 7 begins! 14 players remaining, 8 votes is a majority!

Also, it appears that whomever Rokk Krinn is he had protection last night. I choose to believe that means he is town and that a mistake was avoided. I hope I am right.

That's a feminist for you, however, I believed him about Shadow40 and my investigations have narrowed it down between him and another couple of people whom I am checking out. I have a strong feeling about him and my impeach vote stands.

Billy Bob Driller here, you want me to plant my Oklahoma foot in your rear. I am in the write-up so don't try going to impeach me. I am not corrupt.

Actually, I'm listening to the guy who claims to have some relatively good info. Also, with all this threat of foot-sticking, I can't imagine you were up to anything good last night, trying to get in to see a fellow senator. But I'm willing to hear you out a bit more.

Withdraw Vote for now.

You are following the wrong track. I gave you a chance to prove why I shouldn't vote for you and you cannot prove I am corrupt, which I am not. So I put an impeachment vote on you. So yeah, I am real threatening. Read the write-up does that seem threatening? If so, no wonder our government is so screwed up. You haven't a leg to stand on when you find out I'm not corrupt. I hope they impeach you next if I go down for leading the government astray.
