Dum. Badadum. Babababababadum. (Cue general drum sounds)
The sound of the assembled drums beat steadily. All around stretched the lines of the accused, winding back and forth through the jeering crowd. All manner of people stood, heads down and hands tiedyoung stood with old, man stood with woman, the poor stood with the rich. In death, all were equal.
PiratesMafia, they were called. And some of them were. The others though were merely victims of a system that pushed down everybody and punished whole families for the crimes of the long dead ancestors. Honest merchants who had never stolen anything in their life, now stood in line to hang for the crime of not casting out any and all refuse that came begging at their door.
Dum. Badadum. Babababababadum.
Up to the gallows marched another procession of prisoners. What crimes had they committed? wondered the crowd. Interrupting their reverie though came a small voice, the voice of one Love. Singing a sad song that the GM cant remember exactly what it was and cant get online to check (Said GM does know it was piratey though), one voice pierced the silence of the crowed. To his left and to his right, his fellow condemned men began to sing as well.
Flustered, the Govenor motioned to the magistrate, who began to list off the crimes of the accused. A solitarty figure approached the magistrate, gave a short bow, and then pushed his way into the center of the crowd heading straight for the gallows. For a second, the drums stopped.
The figure flung his sword into the gallows just as the executioner let the trapdoor fall, in a brilliant show of foreshadowing since that same figure had been told that skill would come in handy not two hours of movie time earlier. By the man that was about to be hanged no less. Freaky, I know.
Love caught his feet on the sword, an act which saved his neck, literally. He jumped down, and cut his hands free. The two conspirators ran off
towards the cliff but where ultimately surrounded by the members of the Town who for some reason were all dressed as British Redcoats. Then they got shot and died.
Spoiler :
One by one, the Redcoats removed their hats out of respect for the fallen.
Well, I guess thats that said one of them, a certain TheForestAuro
Indeed it is replied another, this one by the name of Sparrow55
Shall we? came the response
After you, my good sir
With that, the two mafia rounded on TheLastOne36 and Drumstudent and promptly shot both of them dead.
Let us now go out and celebrate in typical British fashion with tea and crumpets and have a good whatever it is British people do in these situations
Yes, lets
The two figures rode off into the distance.

Some explanation of General game stuff
I knew that the mafia would have a major advantage with the two roles they ended up with, so I wanted to handicap them a little, but not to much since there was going to be a cop, roleblocker and bulletproof for sure since those are all good roles. To do that, I made it so that they had a limited number of kills eachin this case, 2. This is why there was no kill on that final nightsince Zack had both of his kills when he died, TFA and Sparrow had only 4 kills between them and ran out that last night. Effectively, it gave the town an extra day to catch the mafia. I think the early death of Catharsis helped the mafia team out immensely. Also, special mention goes to Camikaze who blocked both TFA and Sparrow, but on the alternate nights of their kills
All in all, I think it was generally a well balanced game, maybe a bit leaning toward the mafia, but not unwinnable by the town. After that first day, pretty much everything went right for them, which is why they won obviously.
Kudos.
