Zombies!!! (A Mafia Game)

[saztronic]

*frowns* I don't like the idea of killing indiscriminately. Surely there must be some more logical way to proceed than finger-pointing and supposition. As for the quiet ones... just posing a question here, but are zombies quiet? Do they sleep?

The undertaker ought to be able to enlighten us as to the signs and indications of zombie behavior. *looks around for agreement* So surely one among us can provide a clue as to whom we should be keeping an eye on?

[Sparkle]

*she shivers* I don't know, but the way that one looks at me gives me the creeps. *she points at a quiet person* But I can not judge a man just off of silence and stares alone...*frowns* I do agree, we do need some assistance with this. We need to know where to began to look and key signs that will point us in the right direction.

[Racetyme]

We don't want those important to us to go revealing their identities. And I personally don't trust those who want that information out in the open.

Vote saztronic

[saztronic]

*indignantly* I am trying to help. You, apparently, are only trying to incite a riot. First you want to kill those who are quiet. Then you want to kill someone who is speaking.

*he narrows his eyes*

Maybe you just want to kill us all, whether we speak or not.

*the previously silent man walks slowly, but with clear purpose, up to the group. His eyes are weary, but not without energy.*

It seems that evil has come once again to our small village... We must do our upmost to keep ourselves sane... and living.

Hysteria and finger pointing, that will help no one... Whoever has *he lowers his eyes momentarily* turned... We must be watchful, be attentive, *he raises a finger* and we must be careful in our decisions.

All I know, right now, is that the Undertaker is going to be the village's best hope for survival. We would do better to focus less upon who them, and more upon those who may threaten us...

[Racetyme]

I never said anything about those silent ones. The living dead are just as likely to speak as the living. But only one who is supposed to be in the ground would want to know the identity of the undertaker. That or a fool. *He laughs again, his bald pate reflecting the moonlight*

[saztronic]

And only one bent on evil would put words in the mouth of another, and then condemn him on the basis of those made-up words.

I never said I wanted to know the identity of the undertaker, sir, and I defy you to prove otherwise. What I said was, perhaps someone among us might be able to drop a hint as to the nature of these zombies, so that we might proceed without recourse to hysteria and snap judgements -- which only play right into the hands of those who wish us ill.

As you are so amply demonstrating.

[deadboy]

*He turns to Racetyme* I think Saztronic was merely asking if anyone knew anything much about zombies, if someone was in fact a zombie they're not exactly going to be as unsubtle as to say "Who here should I kill" now are they *A slight frown at Racetyme* So I do not believe that it is yet time to start throwing around blame. However, I share Saztronics want to know a little about zombies, does anyone here know the signs that show a person to be a zombie? I know the old tales of them eating flesh and so forth, so if we ever discover one of us feasting on another of us we've a fair idea that they are a zombie *A slight smile, although small* But until such a occurence happens, and we can protect ourselves, do we know how to spot them? Does anyone else know the old tales better than my vague recollections from my youth?

[Nakranoth]

I wouldn't trust anyone who spoke of knowing about zombies... after all Someone must have defiled them to begin with. Mis-information is more lethal then no information.

[Sparkle]

*sighs* Guys, fighting will not help anything. It will only cause a big distraction which will cause us to miss something. I think everyone should calm down and ask questions to one another rationally.

[Racetyme]

What do you think we'll learn by standing about? No right minded zombie is going to let anything slip, and the same goes for the undertaker. It's mostly guesswork until tomorrow morning, when a fresh corpse should help us track the bastards.

[N-Aldwitch]

Racetyme has a point. Obviously, *he leans on his cane, stopping closer to the others*, Saztronic wants to know the identity of the Undertaker.
Do you want to know why? So Saztronic can kill the Undertaker! *he pushes his glasses back up his nose, and slowly straightens his back, using his hand for support on his back, his other hand resting firmly on his cane*

[saztronic]

*his face blanches in surprise and he looks around, wide-eyed and spluttering* This is nothing more than a mob mentality, I tell you. You don't know whom to condemn, so you are lashing out blindly.

*he takes several deep breaths and regains his composure, then speaks calmly and reasonably*

I can assure you, my interests lie only in protecting this community, as they always have. I am a man of science, not a man of fairy tales. I admit, I have some difficulty with this 'evil zombie' story and was looking for some guidance. But, I do not -- NOT -- wish to expose the Undertaker if he is our only salvation. That was never my intent, and is not now.

*he looks pleadingly towards the others*

Surely you can see the mistake that is being perpetrated here?

[deadboy]

*He nods* N-Aldwich, I believe that we have already asserted that saztronic was not asking for the undertaker to reveal themselves. If that were his intention it would be pointedly obvious and almost certainly lead to his death. Therefore, I do believe this to be merely a misunderstanding. I do not believe that we should point fingers so early. Instead I agree with Sparkle, lets ask questions and see what comes out. *He turns to N-Aldwich* What about you? Tell me a little about yourself. Nothing about your profession, or anything like that, if, that is, you arn't a zombie, although I'm not trying to point fingers. But in anycase, tell me a little about yourself
