In the early morning, the town were gathered in the square. "This first public lynching will inspire hope in Bell Tree, and strike fear into the Mafia among us," declared Jas0n the Sheriff. "We send out a clear message that the criminal underworld have no place in our peaceful town." And it was Mayor KarlaKGB who was their first target. He had been in a long drawn-out trial, and all were keen to see him finally pay. KarlaKGB took one last sip of tea and was led out of his cell, to the gallows.
The air was filled with anticipation as the noose was placed around his neck. KarlaKGB pleaded one last time for someone to review the evidence, arguing that he had been set up. The Sheriff quickly pulled the switch and the Mayor was flung downwards violently. He became still after a few short moments, and his body began to change colour.
KarlaKGB was innocent after all!
A riot quickly broke out, and vengeance was the flavour of the day. The angry crowd surged forwards and captured Jas0n. The former Mayor's limp body was quickly removed, and replaced with the Sheriff's. Loud cheers came from the crowd as
Jas0n's true colours were revealed. One person stood atop the gallows and cried out to the town, "we have lost a good man this day to treachery. Now, we must unite and find a new leader to take us through these troubling times. Mafia, if you hear me, know that your days are numbered. We will show no mercy as we expect none in return!" This was met with resounding cheers, and the first day of the scum-boshing began.
KarlaKGB the Mayor was carelessly lynched.
Jas0n the Crooked Sheriff got his just(ice) desserts.
You must elect a new Mayor and Sheriff. You have 36 hours to do so, and voting will be conducted in the usual way in the voting thread. The winner of the election will be proclaimed Mayor, and the runnerup Sheriff. Two bodyguards will randomly be chosen from the Townies. The Mayor will then choose who to lynch.
If anyone has not received their roles, please let me know asap.
