Empiremaker, the great game, pepper and salt: all things British or imperial.
and you are the "human fish", salt and pepper and fish and chips combine.
you also made a mod: rise and rule and you have extensive mafia history, whereas i'm doing this for the first time.
You would certainly fit the bill for a veteran. (or an imperialist

)
Now, why would you kill Love and Choxorn?
for starters: Love died by poison. Didn't you played a mafia that was about infections?
and in the quote about bureaucracy, i recall you working on corruption and maintenance of cities, something surely to do with bureaucracy.
besides, neverwonagame referred back to the poison hint, he got killed.
I think, i'll be the next murdered in my sleep when you are not lynched.
So if I had a second vote, i would vote for
philippe becuase it seems i have nothing to lose. either you hang or I get murdered.
