Morning of Day 1
Spoiler: Game On
Morning, Leo.
Good morning, Josh.
What have we got?
I got a meeting about the Chinese trade bill. President wants to get tough on it.
Need a hand in there? I got nothing.
No, I need you to ask around about the mafia.
The...mafia?
Yeah. In the building. Trying to kill us by infiltration and manipulating us against each other.
The mafia?
Yeah.
Shouldn't we be more worried about that?
It'll blow over.
...OK.
I got a meeting.
...
DONNA!
Good morning.
I need to find this mafia family that's infiltrated the White House and are plotting our deaths.
Isn't that dangerous?
I thought so, but...
Mafia? Are you sure?
Leo told me. He thinks it'll blow over.
I didn't think the mafia were the blow-over type.
Leo thinks they are. C.J.!
Joshua.
What do you know about this mafia thing?
What mafia thing?
You know, the mafia...thing.
Oh, sure,
that
mafia thing. What's the mafia thing?
There are mafia in the White House plotting our deaths. Leo said so.
You're serious? Why wasn't I briefed on this?
I don't think the press know anything about the mafia.
It'll get out, Josh! Why did no-one tell me there were mafia in the White House?
There are mafia in the White House?
There are mafia in the White House.
Huh. I heard it was a serial killer.
Great. Now it's a serial killer.
Is that better? There's only one guy. That's better, right?
What if there's both?
I guess we should probably clarify that.
Yes, Josh. I guess we probably should.
So, I'm gonna...do that.
OK.
...Yeah.
All confirms are in, so we can begin. It is now
Day 1
. With 13 players alive, it will take 7 votes to lynch. Deadline is exactly 2 weeks from this post.

Partial Claim

Discuss.

First of all, XD at how in character that sounded.
: I am not a Bartlett staffer, but I am a Democrat loyal to the Bartlett administration.
Discuss.
His son in law?

More significant than that. I had a part in the last two seasons, but was also not a part of the Santos campaign.

Curse you, memory, and your inability to go back one year...
I should know this though.

Seriously? Aaron Sorkin was the series creator and chief writer for the (better) first four seasons.

OK. I can't think of who Pine is referring to, but I don't care either. At this point, at least.

VOTE: Spartan Wagon to victory! GOGOGOGOGO!
Also:
He was fat back cat cool like a Friday afternoon martini, chillin' at a quarter after 5.
Twist of lime, Coke on the side.
The brother loved the high life.
Had a Ph.D. in street stride.
They called him 'The Jackal'.
He was big Mack daddy super black stylin' a diamonds in the back Cadillac.
Fur-lined boards, white wall wheels,
cruise control, built for speed, chrome on evray-thang.
And stereophonic speakers,
though he really didn't need them.
When they called him. . . 'The Jackal'.
Ronny Jordan, Eff Yeah!

Scum found. Deploy votes and cruise to victory.

Interesting. Vel's only ever played one game with me, and that's ongoing with no flip from me. If it were RVS, there'd be an RVS reason given. if Velz and I had a real history, or he had some real meta, it would be a jesting RVS vote. We don't, and he doesn't, so Velz is probably bad newbscum trying to mask a nervous vote with an out-of-place RVS-like reason.
Vote: Velazanth
AurorusVox may be scum as well. L-2 on someone that hasn't even posted yet? That's where I draw the line between lolpressurewagon and suspicious activity. Add in the bad bus in #20 (no reason given, but more or less calls him obvscum) and we're down two scum already. This is going to be an easy game.

I reconsidered the first line, then considered it again. A moment of second-guessing and self-doubt. Reminded myself why I thought it in the first place.
