*********
After much hemming and hawing, with no suspect achieving anywhere close to a majority of votes cast, the mob reluctantly decides to kill Tezcatlipoca. As Mayor Todd (who was elected with 42% of the popular vote last fall, in an election which saw a turnout of 23% of the eligible population) said "Although Duncan Falconer was strangely absent, a true democracy doesn't need everyone's participation to be fair. I mean, come on, how annoying would that be? We just have to reflect the will of the important citizens. It's not as if his vote would have changed anything. I'm pretty sure, that if the vote was tied, the Supreme Court of Toddsylvania would have decided to kill Tez, anyway."
Plus, as Goodperson bioK9 put it, "Heck, we've gotta kill someone. I didn't gas up the chainsaw for nuthin'."
After Tezcatlipoca was dismembered, burned, and remembered by his neighbors as "a quiet guy who never bothered nobody," Mayor Todd led everyone to Tezcatlipoca's house, where after a thorough search it was determined that although Tezcatlipoca was certainly involved in illegal cockfighting, and had a disturbing fondness for sauerkraut, he wasn't involved with the Mafia at all. Shame on you citizens. Shame indeed.
As the frightened and disheartened citizens slink back to their homes, night falls on Toddsylvania... who knows what will happen before the sun squeezes out between the twin peaks of Mt. Huggles...
Mafia and Detectives please PM me (even if you did so prior to this) with your decisions/questions...the rest of you, sleep safely.
The next vote will begin at 16:00 B-time on January 10, 2003. |
