The end of February is heralded each year by those in Leggy Land. For everyone, it is a reminder the worst season of the year, Winter, is almost over.

How do the denizens of Leggy Land celebrate this momentous annual occasion?

Why, with a crazy party of course!

Whether you be a man or a woman, 13 or 30, tall, short, skinny, fat, ugly, beautiful, annoying, or quiet, all are invited for this one time of year. It is like Christmas in March. No matter who you are, the people of Leggy Land greet you with open arms.

As you each are dropped off by parents, loved ones, friends, or otherwise, you all notice one by one the beauty of Leggy Land at the end of winter.

The first one to arrive was EideticMemory. He did not wish to leave a bad first impression on the other guests. He quickly discovered he was 3 hours early. Little did he know, no one who plays Mafia is ever on time. He would be the only person in the ball room in the main building until 7 hours later.

The first of the rest to come on in was pacman1755. He looked as indifferent as ever, wearing semi-formal clothing, and not making it a secret that he was upset the others didn't arrive earlier.

But shortly thereafter, he was rewarded for his short patience, as a group of people came in all at once. Apparently, their parents had decided a carpool was the best idea for this event. As such, a user of this, pokemon x, yoshirulez!, alexanyways, patar4097, mlb789, and mrfe all walked in at once. Their chaperon for the event was KG, who surprisingly was very enthusiastic over having to watch a bunch of brats.

Oh, mothers.

Surgiac, and soxfan849 joined the party within minutes of the above group, and they both looked absolutely exhausted. Without delay though, they noticed empty corners of the room, and occupied one each. They clearly were not going to attempt to be the life of the party.

An hour went by after this flood of people, and there were still some missing people. This was obvious because a bespectacled Japanese man paced back and forth, muttering something to himself. He didn't even look pleased when megamanmaniac walked through the double doors of the elegant palace.

The last person to walk in, was supernerd117. He made a ton of noise, and was clearly trying to get people to notice him. However, any notice he did receive was instantly diverted elsewhere, as once all 14 people were in the room, the lights went out.

After a few minutes of indistinguishable girly screams, the lights came back on. It was discovered this girly scream belonged to yoshirulez!. The rest of the crowd went wide eyed, and silent.

Until, one man broke the silence, with but a word.

"Hello."

And instantly, everyone was on their guard, ready to attack, save the newcomers.

EideticMemory asked the question some were wondering in their very heads... "Why do you guys look like you've seen a ghost?"

It was none other than pacman1755, veteran of several Mafia wars, who explained, "That... is the a**h*** who constantly puts everyone around him in danger, for a laugh. None other than Leggy."

"Oh, my darling Pac-Kun, I missed you too!" Leggy said in the most disturbingly flamboyant voice any of the people there had ever heard from him. "I do hope you all had a wonderful trip, here to Leggy Land!"

"Thanks, it was a great trip until you popped in." snapped alexanyways.

"Why all the hostility? This is a party! We should enjoy ourselves!" Leggy said with his usual calm and even voice.

"You are obviously planning to just kill us all again." said mrfe.

"Like you are one to talk, Mr. Murderer..." pointed Surgiac.

"What did you say?" replied mrfe.

"Now, now, let's not go biting each other's heads off... this is a party, that I invited you all too. Any and all violence is disallowed. You will be thrown out if you continue to make a scene." said Leggy, "Now, now that that is settled, there won't be any killing today! Just enjoy the party to celebrate the end of winter!"

With that, he bowed, and left through the double doors.

More moments of silence passed, and then, some totally awesome music kicked on, and just like that, the party of the year was underway.

It was shortly after midnight when the music finally stopped with an abrupt halt.

"Now, it seems the party is over! And it seems all my food and drink are gone! That's wonderful!" said a creepy voice over the intercom.

Everyone instantly braced for the worst.

"Now that it's clear that all of you have partaken in the food and drink, it's time to tell you the surprise you were all expecting! All the food and drink was laced with poison. And the only way to survive will be to play my game. See..." it continued.

"We could just go to the doctor." said pokemon x.

Everyone agreed, and smiled, there was a way out.

"Not quite. See, as I was saying before you so rudely interrupted... the best doctor in the world won't be able to cure this poison inside of you. The antidote is made with special herbs that only grow here in Leggy Land. In my private garden. And the only people who will get the antidote are the winners."

Crestfallen, the players went for the doors. Hoping that on the other side of them would be the outdoors they had come from.

When the doors opened, their mood dipped even further.

It was the decaying Innocent Town. It was time to play.

Mafia Se7enteen has now begun! I was going to put up the start earlier, but I got distracted with Starbound.

So, you should all have the general idea of how to play.

I will be sending out the roles over the next half hour. If you do not have a role as of 4 AM EST, PM me, and I will send it. If you have a night action, tonight is the night to do it. If you do not have a night action, just sit back and relax!

If you have questions or concerns, you know by now I'm the man to ask.

Welcome to the game. Here's hoping some of you survive...

I knew it. I shouldn't have been early. I'm always early. Why did I come anyway?

I was warned about this particular group of hooligans, but did I listen? No.

And now we all face death.

Uhh...poison? Seriously? This is what you resorted to? You just escape from that hell mansion to play another one of your sick games. How do I get involved in this every time...

There aren't as many people as I thought there would be. Maybe it'll be a quick round.

That was quite possibly the worst road trip ever.

Mrfe had some sort of cremains in a coffee can from the last game, yoshirulez! kept having to make stops, and worst of all, mlb789 tried smashing the windows with a baseball bat. KG just laughed at the chaos.

At least I'm no longer squeezed in a 5 person space with 8 people. This place seems pretty spacious.

Am I really that shallow?  I DON'T NEED YOU TO NOTICE ME!!!!!!  I'M FINE!!!!!!!!

Now excuse me while I eat my pie.  It's humble flavored...As in Humble Bundle, not Humble Pie...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the 17th Mafia. I'm wondering if we're going to have an elite round of Townies this time. We only had maybe one good round with smarts here. Well, let's kick the mafia's butt and take them out quickly.

Interesting start it seems as always but something leggy hasn't done before unless I missed it.
But lets see who wins by the end of this.

For some reason, all I could hear when I read Leggy's post was John de Lancie's Q.

Here's hoping I survive long enough to get that antidote.

Surgiac : I have an antidote...but it's for Pokemon, not people.  

The players scurried off to their rooms, fearful of what awaited them in the night. Though the roles were sent to them, they didn't get much chance to look at them earlier. Once in the safety of their room, and away from prying eyes, they closed the door, and attempted to lock it... before realizing there were no locks.

Once this revelation became clear, the players understood there would be no safety measures. There would be death.

At this time, knowing things couldn't get worse, they opened their letters, detailing their roles. Whether they liked their roles or not, they knew they had to play the game to survive.

Those with power set out, while those without decided to sleep. Various players passed each other in the unlit hallways. No one could tell who each other was, of course, and they didn't dare follow anyone for fear of dying themselves.

The only lights in the hallway were the nametags on each door.

After a long quiet, the first blood was drawn, as mrfe was slain. He was the... wait!

The Doctor walked in and saved mrfe's ass! Neither mrfe nor the Doctor saw who the killer was, nor did mrfe see who the Doctor was, as the Doctor gave chase, to attempt to find mrfe's near killer.

The rest of the night passed by without incident, and when morning came, everyone was shocked to find not one person had died, although mrfe did look a little worse for wear.

The day round was here.

And not one player felt any safer.

You have 72 hours (3 days) to vote. As always, leave your votes in bold, as it's the only way to guarantee I see your vote.

You may choose to no kill, as always.

IT IS A DAY ROUND

We don't know much yet.

I'm going to go with no-kill for now.

yeah, the last thing we need to do is to turn against each other without cause.

No-kill.

Mrfe hasn't even said anything and was targeted ok then.

Going to say no-kill because yeah no info like the others

Forgot bold code..

No kill


We don't know enough yet to properly vote.

My urge to kill has nothing to do with being mafia and everything to do with having to be a chaperon... they're lucky that I like them.

In seriousness, no kill. Glad we made it through night one, and hopefully we keep our good luck.

I'm going to go with what everyone else said, We really don't know enough to give a proper vote. No-Kill

Woah, nice save, Doctor. Didn't really expect mrfe to be shot first on the first night. All that I know for sure is that I'm glad we got a doctor that actually knows what he/she's doing.

For now, I No-Kill. There's no need to slash anyone yet. Barely anyone really posted suspicious activity yet.

While I agree that it was a nice save by the Doc, it is somewhat difficult to figure out who the first kill will be if that kill is on the first night. Now I'm not saying that the Doc doesn't know what they are doing, but it doesn't mean that they do either, as far as being the Doc goes. That could've very well been a lucky guess.... unless the Doc has insider information. If the Doc does, there's a chance the Doc won't use that information all the time to keep their source safe.

Bold text

OK, joking aside, I agree with the No-Kill.  We need to know more about the Doctor's motives and about Murphy before ruling them out of suspicion.  But why mrfe?  Is it because he's out on the trip to Haiti right now?  I don't see that as perfect logic, but the attempted killer(s) may have thought it would have been interesting and/or funny if Murphy returned to find himself dead.  We don't know the reasons Murphy was targeted, and this may all have been to throw us off of anything that might put those person(s) under suspicion.

No-Kill

Like everybody else already said, there doesn't seem to be anything we can do yet.
