This was also my first thought tbh.

I have updated the OP with some guidelines on how to play this made up mafia. Really didn't think it was going to be this complex to you

Night ends in roughly an hour from now.

January 4th 2020 (DAY MORNING)

This morning a second body was found. Wing Zero certainly paid a high toll for being one of the most notorious detectives in the case. His god-like attitude certainly costed him, costed him greatly, his body abandoned in the middle of a field where the tall grass grows.

The precinct is busy, worried, wondering what happened, not a single soul forgives themselves of what happened to their partner. Who could be doing this? -they say-. Could it be only one person or a group of them? -They ask without a single clue-. Could this be a serial killer?


Wing Zero’s body certainly does not quite fit the same signature of the past murder, this was more violent, there was more blood, there was more passion to it. Who could have done this? What kind of animal could possibly do this?


In the old wall-mounted CRT Television the news is broadcasting:






DAY MORNING.
Players can start trying to reach a consensus.
Wing Zero is now dead.

I vote jjf28

same.
But only to interrogate, not to execute.

Things standing out to me so far:
- Appletini -> Scrubs
- Drinking night -> mod night
- Passion and animal but those could as well be flavor writing.

"a field where the tall grass grows" seems like a very specific phrasing, but I'm not sure what to make of it.

Well I suppose a night questioning me would be wasteful so I should at least try to avoid it... I'll vote KrayZee - who is among those currently lying low.

January 4th, 2020 (Day Afternoon)

One single halogen light hung above him, dimming, fading and shorting. In the silence of the prime interrogation room #7 one could add up all the factors, the very audible air conditioner compressor unit running, blowing a nice cool breeze to counter what would otherwise be one very hot, tiny squared room. Everything was fixed, the aluminum alloy table couldn’t be flipped, chairs were chained, windows were embedded to the concrete panels that formed up the room and most importantly, his hands were also immobile, handcuffed and chained to the fixed table. Never did he thought that he would be in a room like this.

They had all seen what little clues they had, they were all confused and didn’t know what to make up of it but one thing was certain, jjf28 was the primary suspect, they were forced to get him, the media was pushing for results, the victims were demanding justice and so the witch hunt begun.



So entered the first detective, sighed deeply and with a very confused tone asked:

Detective: So, what do you have to say for yourself?

It is now jjf28’s turn to defend himself.




It is now Day Afternoon.
jjf28 now has the chance to convice the players that voted for him to abstain their vote or die.
If he doesn't manage to convince them all he dies.
Players may continue analyzing clues and discussing them but their votes won't count until next morning.

Thanks for the ride to work; did anyone bring in doughnuts today? I could really go for a jelly doughnut.

(pauses to look around room, shakes restraints lightly)

So... who brought in the bondage kit?

Usually when we drag a suspect in we don't give him the silent treatment for 24 hours then execute him :S

KrayZee's member number is 47, the only prime number among those playing. Interestingly there has also been references to Moose, who made a map called 47.

Voy's member number is 36, the only squared number among those playing (and a tiny one), but this is likely just typical adjectives to describe an interrogation room.

January 4th, 2020 (Night)

jjf28: Thanks for the ride to work; did anyone bring in doughnuts today? I could really go for a jelly doughnut.
- Awkward silence follows -
jjf28: So... who brought in the bondage kit? – He said while shaking his retrains, pausing, for a last glance of the room-

Everyone was shocked, one of their own had been captured, pointed, accused of being an assassin, after all, if anyone knew how to cover their tracks it would be a detective, if anyone knew what they’d look for it would be him.

Interrogated he was, though, jjf28 was of few words. Not convincing anyone, not convincing his very own partners whom he’d share his life with, his partners who knew every single detail of his lonely life; he knew what was coming, he knew what he’d go through and after what felt like an eternity he finally heard the words: You’ve been sentenced to death by alcohol.

Sitting in a cold, steel, inclined chair, tied up, restrained was jjf28, this would certainly be his last seconds, a doctor walked in with what would kill him. A pure alcohol injection to do the job.

He was immediately drunk. Corbo Night all the way for sure.
His body became numb.
His head was spinning.
His liver was crashing.
Before he knew, he passed out and forever his eyes shut down. jjf28 was now dead.

…

Being one of the first dispatched to the scene he’d have the most complete and up to date information, but in a case with seemingly no clues all he’d left in his desk was this note:





===============================

jjf28 is now dead.
It is now night.
Killer can place hit now.
Players remaining: 8.

Stranger: I know what you’ve done. I know who you are, I know that you think what you’ve done is an act of fate, that heaven and earth and all the heavenly bodies aligned for you to be in that room at that particular time with those particular conditions but make no mistake, this is not an act of fate, there is no one there for you, there will be no one there for you and so it ends for you, right here, right now, this is how you die because, yes, you were wrong but you were wrong in time, in the wrong place and in the wrong conditions.

- Silence follows in the dark of the night –

January 5th, 2020 (Day Morning)

- Vibration –
- Vibration intensifies –
- Francisco Tárrega’s Gran Vals plays -
Voice on the phone: We’ve found another body. You might want to hurry up and see this…


Out the window one could see the green of the trees starting to show up, oddly, in the beginning of winter. It was as if earth was getting warmer and the blazing summer coming sooner this year. Sadly, the window belonged to a room where something terrible had happened. Unimaginable to almost every human, this scene was sadistic, the body like a puzzle one had to try his skills at solving, though placed in an orderly fashion, as if one would teach an anatomy class with this scene, one could easily identify all body parts and pick them up for display. Almost a work of an artist, though a very sick one.


There was a clue this time, or several, as this was Corboland’s top detective in there. Chopped up to pieces with only his hands and eyes missing. There was bound to be something in his desk back at the 27th precinct.


Oddly, the room was empty, empty clean, it was another motel room for sure, but this one had no bed, no furniture, no equipment, nothing but four walls, as if earth had sucked everything but the detective’s body. Only the window’s glass remained and, on the floor, the body of a very dead FaRTy1billion placed precisely in the middle.



===============================
FaRTy1billion is now dead.
It is now Day Morning.
Players may now plot and decide who to put in jail for the afternoon.
Players remaining: 7.

I vote KrayZee

I vote Inferno to imprison and, unless he can convince me otherwise, lynch.

Inferno's avatar and signature appear to take place in a field.

Inferno has been working on leetcode exercises for the past week.

I also vote Inferno.

Btw. I think what happened is that the lover killed the only mafia.
Note how only detectives are in plural.
Also note how the detectives have no win condition, which is probably why the game didn't end yet.
The lover still has the chance to win. So we're currently playing only to see if nobody wins or the lover.

Keeping in mind Corbo's love for chaos I actually find that more likely than that he just forgot to specify it. With normal win conditions I would expect the game to have ended already.

So I change my vote to still imprison Inferno, but abstain from the lynch.

I vote for Inferno.
