Batman Strikes Again
by William Braun

The murderous tyranny of Batman continued last night as he evaded police and brought another citizen of Gotham to his doom. Gotham Police report that the body of Greo was discovered early this morning, duct-taped to a building in the financial district with a giant bat spray-painted onto the duct tape. His head had been riddled with bullet holes.

In a press conference this morning, Commissioner Gillian Loeb reiterated his promise to keep the public safe from the caped terror of Gotham. "My department is doing everything in its power to bring this self-proclaimed lord of the streets to justice. No one in Gotham is above the law, and we will see to it that Batman pays for his evil deeds." Police detectives are working overtime to find where Batman goes during the day.

Witnesses last night say that they saw a flying dark shape soar off of the sixty-five story Second Avenue Building late last night, presumably after finishing off Greo. While a select few still hold out faith that Batman may somehow be acting for the public good, with two innocent townspeople dead at his hands the darkness looms ever deeper over Gotham City.


Joker's Reign of Terror Continues
by Jason Williams

While the Joker has maintained an eerie silence over the past night, leading some to question whether his life, too, has been taken, some new evidence was discovered in connection to Racoon's death. Gotham Police have just confirmed that a Joker playing card was retrieved a wallet found in the dead man's jacket. A scan of the card was graciously provided to the Globe in order to beg for the public's assistance in identifying the horrifying character known only as the Joker. It features strange colored blotches in addition to the unsettling message "People will continue dying."

In addition, two more people were found dead last night, having plummeted from a rooftop in the downtown district. Early in the night, drivers on Third Avenue were rudely interrupted by two falling corpses, which led to several thousand dollars in property damage due to swerving and collisions. The drives were treated to the gruesome sight of the decapitated bodies of Almost Alive and EzDay281. By the time police were able to arrive on scene, they discovered that the letters "KS" were painted onto Almost Alive's face in blood. Gotham Police have no comment at this time as to their potential meaning.

Town, three days to decide and vote on a lynch candidate. Remember, the person voted for first is lynched.

batman betrayed us! no where is safe! run! run while you still can!

I Live!

LOL this game shouldn't be called mafia anymore since mafia doesn't even hit lolololololol.

I say we lynch Excalibur for the epic lulz! and the various sword clues, if not, we'll lose and DIIIIIIIIIIIIE.
edit: I VOTE EXCALIBUR.

I say we try to find out who the fuck the joker targetted tonight. The joker has already costed us all of our directors. Oh wait, without a BDS how will we kill at night? wtf...

Well the Joker lied to us, WHERE IS MY MAFIA DOCTOR YOU JERK. he didn't even do anything, why do we listen to him? maybe we should lynch krayzee instead...
edit: the joker didn't target anyone, so he can't kill anyone today I guess?
edit2: the patrolmen should really tell us who they jailed, they must have really shut down the mafia.

but yeah, Excalibur might be mafia. A lot of sword references, a lot of decapitations, a lot of slashes and stabs references, a man with a sword arguing with the mafia? SOUNDS LIKE IT TO ME.

Good thing Devourer is dead, since now you can no longer rely on a BDS hit to kill him at night, no?

Batman's secretly Mafia. [/noclues]

I once again vote to lynch Ex.

The Joker has named a target. Due to the tardiness of an announcement (see second story), you will have 24 game hours from the announcement to kill his target. Yes, this is bending the rules a bit.

I vote rayNimagi because he randomly accused me for being crafty. Clue interpretations later, when I have time... which won't be soon. >_>

So the card contains the joker's target? The last time the joker's target was krayzee and claimed that he is a mafia. I guess that if we find out who he targetted we get the doctor?

I abstain, just like I said I would. Until I see something that really convinces me to vote for someone.

I await your clue interpretations with laughter. You accuse me and THEN look for clues? At least vote for a "confirmed" mafia today aka KrayZee.

I vote KrayZee

Am I doing it wrong?

It's a... dinosaur?

!
I vote Brontobyte

Didn't Brontobyte say he was quitting? No need to lynch him then.

i vote raynimagi

Any reasoning?! Excalibur actually has clues against him, raynimagi has nothing against him.


Where did you get all the extra parts? o_O

I see no extra parts, but plenty of them are rotated.

Let's go with Excalibur. (As in a vote.)

Wow, it seems like the town's going to lose
I just wanted to tell that I never had the clue analysis from the last Mafia game when you said you'd put it online in like 2 days (that was like a month ago).
That's it

Good luck Mafia! >:D
