JTL Mafia #019

[Amish Accountant]

Logsheets? The only log sheets I know about are the ones used as paneling for our barns, houses, and chicken coops. What’s that now? It’s for keeping track of time spent? Well I sure hope everyone is filling out paper log sheets. Anything powered by satan cannot touch my hands. My abacus and the strong head on my shoulders will have to make do. We’re a busy folk but last night I took no action.

[Marg A. Rita]

I punched in and out last night, but not much done (no action) in between. It’s so hard to work that email thing. I am always forgetting my password. Has anyone seen a pink sticky note? I think my password might be on one of those.

[Garey]

Off to a productive work week for me. I clocked in late but still got the work done. Success!

[NancyDrew]

Hey folks! No action from me last night, I’m still getting the hang of this new job. Open to any and tips, gossip, and tales! Come visit me by the water cooler!

[Project Gorlami]

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

Man, I see in company the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.


I can’t remember the last time I slept, but I’m never really awake. I think last night was a success but it’s hard to say.

Submitting Night Actions:

Submit your night actions by sending The Crowned Diviner a PM on the site.
To do this, click the speech bubble icon next to "Contact:" under my profile picture and choose the "Send private message" option from the drop down menu:


Do not send night actions to GameMaster, send them to The Crowned Diviner

Good advice:

• Mafia is only as much as effort as you're willing to put in. You don't need to research every facet of the game to win. The list of roles and rules are much better as a reference than a study

• It's common practice to make a post during every day period stating the success/failure of your action, but you don't necessarily need to say what the exact results were, or the action you took. Choosing not to post will surely work against you.

• Being overly quiet is very suspicious! But talk too much, and you might make yourself a target.

Submit an action every night, pay attention to the results of others and their posts, and you'll have fun.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask the host.

Dear Employees,

I'm sure you've all noticed that Cigs Evan and Boss Babe haven't shown up for work today. In fact, we're sorry to say nobody saw Boss Babe in the office yesterday either. Unfortunately, failure to show up for work is cause for termination. It's always disappointing to lose a colleague, especially two in the same day. However, everyone here at The Company wishes Cigs Evan and Boss Babe the best of luck wherever they may find themselves next! Everyone please consult with your managers on how best to pick up the slack left by these two employees while we work on filling the vacancies.

By the way, @facilities, there are two large, damp stains on the carpet this morning... See the attachment. It looks like someone has spilled something. We may have to cancel the quarterly pizza parties if this is going to be the outcome. Please have it cleaned up when someone is available.

It is now Day 2.
With 13 players alive, it takes 7 to (no) execute.
Night 2 will begin at 5:45PM Eastern on Sunday, August 23rd.

It's never fun to lose 2 team members in a single day, but look at the bright side, it could have been 4!

Instead, a Vest! And a double termination for Cigs Evan! Something doesn't add up: with such a small team of 15 people, 4 terminations in one night is way too many! Double stabbing too!

I consulted the employee handbook (asked the Company directly for rules clarification), here's what I learned: If motivated, the Zodiac Killer would only have to declare 1 target in their mandatory boast!

So I ask publicly, is there a motivator in our midst? If so, who did you motivate on N0? That may very well be our culprit and we could put at least this threat to rest.

During the night, I've come up with a new tracker: it's the tracker tracker, analog edition, where you must log a duplicate of all the line items in your other trackers. Did I mention it's the analog edition? I thought it might be fun to write things down by hand from time to time! Success for me!

[Marg A. Rita]

I am not the sharpest nail (probably from all the tequila in my younger years I didn’t earn this nickname for nothing), but could the master surgeon have been wearing the vest? Or because it says shot and stabbed that is the order of events so it would have said stabbed and shot? Or would we have only found out that he was shot and it wouldn’t have even mentioned the little stabbing if wearing the vest? It seems I have lots of questions, but not a lot of answers.

My night was a success.

[Lawrence]

I tried to pick up another shift last night and the boss man won’t let me (failed). He said my overtime was capped. Not sure how I’m supposed to pay child support to my bitch ex wife if I can’t pick up some extra hours. Speaking of, is there anyway yall could pay me cash?

I always thought Cigs was a Celsius guy not Rockstar.
