Finally a consensus is reached on whom to lynch next. Bler's open confession of having ties to the Mafia was eventually his death sentence. Ixamyakxim, after quite some hesitation, said: "Well, you knew this was coming. Step on the chair and stick out your neck please!" Then he put the noose of the rope that was still fastened to the beam around Bler's neck and, while HijacK was already gloating, kicked away the chair. After bler died he was, of course, investigated:
bler is dead. He was Cesare Peppone, Mafia Ninja Janitor. He was untrackable and could prevent a flip on victims he killed. ******************************************************
Final vote count
drealmer 1: Bookwyrm
bler144 5: HijacK, flubbucket, drealmer, cristigale, Ixamyakxim
Ixamyakxim 2: dedoporno, bler144 Political votes:
End prohibition 1: Bookwyrm
Martial Law 2: drealmer
*******************************************************
With bler's death, 7 council members are still alive.
However, before everyone can go to their rooms, HijacK calls out: "How about we take that political decision now and end this blasted conference?"
"You want to discuss politics now?" "No, just vote. Who is with me?" Ix, cristi and flubb put up their hands.
"Alright, see, I propose Option 4. What? I am Mafia, yes. Aren't we all? But I know the solution to our problem. I know just the gentleman, who will provide all our alcohol needs in a peaceful and healthy fashion. Thereby I cast my vote to give control of a limited, legal alcohol trade to Mr. Meyer Lanski! Who is in favour?"
HijacK himself, Ix, cristi and flubb put up their hands again.
"That's four! Who is against?"
All others put up their hands. "That's three!" notices HijacK "That is an absolute majority for Mr. Meyer Lanski and the council has therefore decided."
"But you can't just..." protests Bookwyrm
"Yes, we can!" contradicts HijacK "That's democracy for you. Beautiful, isn't it? But on the plus side: you'll get to live and can go home. If your bosses want a part of the alcohol trade after this, they'll just have to come to an agreement with Meyer Lansky. But he is a reasonable businessman, so we can make this beneficiary for all of us."
And so, especially since everyone is armed and the Meyer Lanski Team outnumbers everyone else, the conference ends.
*****************************************************
The game is over! And it ended with a
flawless victory for the
Meyer Lanski team. Amazingly, they didn't lose a single one of their operatives. In spite of lurking enough to have two of them having been prodded and easy targets...
Well, luck or skill? That's for the history books to decide. In any case Meyer Lanski will profit greatly from the decision of this conference.
