Mafia 85: Return from Lockdown

[sweetandcool]

It means we, the scum team, have voted unanimously to concede.

Let's now talk about either DnD or how the setup could be re-tooled and re-ran so that it isn't a mechanics only game where the scum don't get blown out by a mass claim.

I think there were some great suggestions earlier N1 when we were complaining about it.

Also, I really liked the setup you ran my first game, M79 I think?

Is that called a semi-open setup?

Mass claims definitely don't work there.

Semi-opens definitely make it fixed for sure.

I had to remember what game that was and looked it up, then saw the date and remembered why I had to bail out lol...

Sorry for dredging up painful memories.

Just wanted you to know I thought that was a cool setup (:

I think a little fine-tuning and this would be very interesting, but mechanical-solve heavy games are always a tricky balance.

Anyone else think it's crazy that his rent is only $1015?

that's more than double what I pay

[Kakarroto]

Perhaps they felt guilty, perhaps they feared black lash. Whatever the reason, the landlords have stopped their eviction plans, and admitted what they did. A new contract is written, where everyone gets a share. A fairer world for all.

my EoN post I've prepared is use less

[Kakarroto]

But I shall provide just so you can enjoy it!

"Hello, I'm Troy McKak. You may remember me from such movies as 'A Night to remember' or 'Jack of ARRR trades'!"

*intro music begins to play while the camera zooms in to McKak's face*

Voice from the off: "Mister McKak, there have been recent talk that you've joined the local Cosa Nostra."

Troy McKak: "Hehe, yes, there was. But people talk all the time. Just last month I was at a meeting where I was sent off just because they didn't like what I said."

Voice from the off: "And what did you say?"

Troy McKak: "That we shouldn't just kill people. They really didn't like it. I guess they love their guns too much in that small town."

Voice from the off: "Lets change the topic. You recently blamed a certain person of being evil and a criminal."

Troy McKak: "Ahh, hahaha, yeah, I did. Certainly I did."

Voice from the off: "But the recent investig..."

Troy McKak: "I KNOW what the investigation result was. No signs of corruption. Perfectly white vest. He even donated more than half of his income. AFTER taxes. How would I know that a politician responsible for the party votes wouldn't be in league with the crime lords?!?"

Voice from the off: "I guess I can see your point there, Mister McKak."

Troy McKak: "And the way he pushed his party positions, that man just had ABsolutely no shame."

Voice from the off: "I think we should talk about your next plans for the near future."

Troy McKak: "Ah yes, well, first I will visit Krusty the bozo. Look what he does, what he thinks, ask him his opinion and that whole stuff. Of course we blip out the name so we don't have to pay him for the views we're getting. After that, I might use the time to go on a vacation, on a faraway island. Maybe take the offer there for a new movie to star in."

Voice from the off: "That sound rather interesting. What's the title for this new movie?"

Troy McKak: "[REDACTED]"

Voice from the off: "What a lovely title. I'm sure the people will love it. Oops, look at that, our time is over too. Have a wonderful morning and you see us again tomorrow."

Troy McKak: "I'm Troy McKak and this was 'fast your brak with McKak', your daily breakfast show. Thank you very much, and have funk."

*outro music begins to play while the camera zooms out and a series of McKak pictures are shown where he wears different trendy clothes and visits different hot spots of interest*

*then the credits begin to play, which read: I chose bozo because of his claim worcej is town and his claim I HAVE to be news host - pretty sure bozo mafslipped my role after worcej scanned me and told mafia team, that would explain why he was so sure I was news host, therefor I chose this flavour. I hope I'm alive tomorrow or else I don't get to use my ability*

Well at least I wasn’t dead for long. GG all, that was fun. Thanks MM and ghug for GMing.

Who were the scum? To add to my Excel file.

Ah, but are you taking into account currency conversion?

And what size of place do you rent? I think around here you can find a studio apartment for $600-800, though tending towards $800.

Condolences to the scumteam. Sorry that one went so off the rails.

Regardless, want to swap places? I'd love to experience the joys of living in Wien. Especially if my family can fit too.

ok, size could be different. about 120m² (not including the veranda and the terrace) for 450€. Which should be around 500 $ I guess.
