@Bunny - my response to it is I think sweet could be a generational mafia player if he wasn’t in his own way so much.

I think he has good insights, but has problems with the difficulty in playing well with others. Good chess players don’t need to learn this skill. Same with good diplomacy, poker, go, backgammon, and other common games people learn.

I'm a Spades expert (:

If eden gets shot by this horseshit I’m running a fucking fire sale on hammers.

I was getting shot anyway

I cannot fucking believe two different people saw the plan to endhammer Balki so he couldn’t fire a scum gun and said “Oh golly gee, guess I’ll tell Balki he’s been scanned guilty!”

He said "I see everyone is voting for me" so he clearly could see there were already a number of end votes so he knew he was in trouble and therefore didn't require anything further to make him shoot if he had a gun.

But did he have time to switch his shot to *Eden* if people weren't helping him? While endvotes were coming in?

Really Damo this is not rocket surgery.

Which gives room for all scum to be off wagon and no busser. Work out what I'm saying.

I am embarrassed. I played the way I decry. I immediately voted him because that is what you are supposed to do when someone claimed the role you have.

But I quickly realized that my Town read of Eden shouldn't be affected by this, he is almost certainly directing a DK that is likely correct.

I was already reasonably convinced before the claim, but it is true Town energy seemed to favour other choices for the DK today.

Consequently, I think the best play is not to resolve the CC battle unless compelling information comes to light first.

Today is a complex day with multiple deaths. Please do not post until it has been indicated that all deaths are processed. Thank you for your patience!

Charles Angelo Siringo was one of the most famous detectives of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, served as a lawman for many years, and became an author. Born on February 7, 1855, in Matagorda County, Texas, to an Irish immigrant mother and an Italian immigrant father, he attended public school until he was 15 when he started working as a cowboy at area ranches.

Working for several Texas ranches over the next several years, he became a trail driver in 1876, accompanying a herd of 2,500 Longhorns over the Chisholm Trail from Austin to Kansas. He made a second trip in the spring of 1877, following the trail’s western branch.

Eventually moving to Dodge City, he signed on with David T. Beals and W. H. “Deacon” Bates to drive a herd into the Panhandle, where they establish the LX Ranch. For the next several years, he worked as an LX cowboy, where he met a young man named Henry McCarty, aka Billy the Kid, and later he would lead a posse in New Mexico in an attempt to capture the Kid and his gang.

In 1884 Siringo married Mamie Lloyd and, after having been a cowboy for more than two decades, changed careers, opening a store in Caldwell, Kansas. That same year, he also began writing a book entitled “A Texas Cowboy; Or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony.” It was published a year later to wide acclaim and became one of the first true accounts of cowboy life during the days of the Old West.
Bored with being a merchant, Siringo moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1886, applying for a job with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Using Pat Garrett’s name as a reference, he got the position and worked all over the West for the next 22 years as a successful cowboy detective. Traveling as far north as Alaska and as far south as Mexico City, he often worked undercover, infiltrating gangs of robbers and rustlers and making hundreds of arrests.

By the early 1890s, Siringo was working out of Pinkerton’s Denver office, working with noted Pinkerton agent, gunman, and later assassin, Tom Horn. Though he greatly admired Horn’s talents and skills in tracking down suspects, he would later reflect that Horn had a dark side.

In 1892, Siringo was assigned to a case in Idaho, where he worked undercover to get information against corrupt labor union officials. Though he despised the labor union officials, he stood against a lynch mob to protect union attorney Clarence Darrow from being hanged.
In the late 1890s, posing as “Charles L. Carter,” an alleged gunman on the run for murder, he infiltrated Butch Cassidy’s, Wild Bunch. He severely hampered their operations for over a year but made few arrests.

After the Wild Bunch committed the 1899 Wilcox Train Robbery in Wyoming, he was assigned to capture them. He continued to work closely with Tom Horn on the assignment, though Horn was actually working for a cattle company at the time. Several members of the Wild Bunch were captured due to his efforts. The most famour of the Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, fled to Bolivia, where they were later allegedly killed by Bolivian soldiers during a robbery attempt.
After 22 years of successfully capturing hundreds of outlaws, Siringo retired from the Pinkerton Agency in 1907. He moved to a ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he began to write a second book detailing his experiences as a Pinkerton detective, entitled “Pinkerton’s Cowboy Detective.” When it was complete, publication of the book was held up by the Pinkerton Agency, who felt it violated a confidentiality agreement signed by Siringo when he was hired and objected to the use of their name. Siringo gave in and deleted their name from the book title, instead writing two separate books, “A Cowboy Detective” and “Further Adventures of a Cowboy Detective,” with fictitious names replacing real ones.

To vent his anger against the Pinkertons, Siringo wrote and clandestinely published a third book, “Two Evil Isms, Pinkertonism and Anarchism,” in 1915. Again, the Pinkerton Agency blocked publication and, this time, attempted to have Siringo prosecuted for libel, asking that he be extradited from his ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Chicago. However, the New Mexico governor denied the extradition request.

In 1922, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he became a minor celebrity due to his well-publicized exploits. While there, he sometimes worked as a film advisor on western film sets and even took an occasional bit part. In 1927 he released his final book, “Riata and Spurs,” a composite of his first two autobiographies. However, when the Pinkerton Agency intervened again to halt publication, the book became a whittled-down version with many fictional accounts rather than the true accounts Siringo had envisioned.
The following year, Siringo died in Altadena, California, on October 18th, 1928.

Siringo’s recollections of his cowboy and detective life helped romanticize the Old West’s myths and realities. Siringo’s prowess as a cowboy and Pinkerton detective made him widely known in his lifetime; he met United States Senators, state governors, and national officials, as well as diverse celebrities such as Pat Garrett, Bat Masterson, Clarence Darrow, Charles M. Russell, Eugene Manlove Rhodes, William S. Hart, Will Rogers, and numerous outlaws.

THE HAMMER HAS DROPPED ON BALKI BARTOKOMOUS!

Balki Bartokomous has died. He was a MAFIA!
