It was a fine winter day in the town of Pebbleville. The wonders of nature had blessed this small town with a foot of fresh snow that blanketed the town. Everyone was out shoveling the snow from their walks and driveways. Every house cept one and that house had no shoveler to shovel and being the kind citizen he is (and mayor to boot) Joshia decided to help out Grassquil since he had been sick lately. As he began to to shovel he hit a lump of snow in the drive that felt different the the rest and as he dug he found the body of poor Grassquil, frozen stiff and very much dead.
An emergency meeting was called, the Mafia had struck again. But who was it? Who could do such a thing to poor Grassquil? Only a majority vote will uncover this...
Now time for the voting to begin.

Re: Mafia
I'm voting Poison as Mafia because Grass-type is weak to Poison-type therefore you have the answer. Superman is to kryptonite while Grassquil is to poison, anybody? Obviously, Grassquil was murdered by his own archenemy and super weakness.

Re: Mafia
Hm? Answering pretty quickly now, aren't we?
While it may be true that grass is weak to the poison type, and grass is not exactally my favorite of all of the types, what makes you think I would want to kill him? Can you pin-point a motive I could possibly have?
...Also, isn't it also true that metal and poison types have never really...gotten along? (That being poison types are non-effective against metal types) I have reason to believe, and the facts to back me up, that you are planning something against me here.
If we are going purely by type-effectiveness here, I could certainly make a case against Metal, now couldn't I?...I suppose I shall, since I have a very good point to make.
My vote goes to Metal!

Re: Mafia
The thing is, Grass was already weak against all the snow, so his attacker wouldn't have needed a type advantage. The question is, who would take advantage of the snow to kill somone? If you think about it that way, it soon becomes clear that the killer is Sira. I'd explain why, but it's so obvious that I'm sure there's no need.

Re: Mafia
Well, isn't this just interesting? I'm dead, and the guns are ablazing! Hope you find the right person sooner or later!
I thought Snivy was a grass version of Cyndaquil, that's the reason for my nickname, oh yeah check out my Youtube channel, grassaquilUV. (easy to remember, isn't it?)

Re: Mafia
Josiah has made a very excellent point. Now that I've understood that, I don't think there's any other options but to vote for Sira.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Re: Mafia
Hmmmm... everyone poses a convincing argument here, but I must say Josiah's really won me over. It's clear in my mind: the killer must be Sira!

Re: Mafia
I'm sorry guys. When Winter Break came around and I suddenly had all this free time I sort of overcommitted to things. It was really irresponsible in hindsight.
I can't trust myself to check up when needed, so I'll vote for myself too.

Re: Mafia
The vote was cast and the citizens of Pebblevile gathered around Sira's house. Breaking down the door they tied her up and took her to the lake. Attaching a rock they tossed her into the icy deep, a fitting end for what happen to poor Grass. They thought they had gotten the Mafia but that night a fire of mysterious origins started in Metals house. Luckily the Fire Department got there and was able to rescue Metal. Unfortently, he has breathed too much smoke and now in a coma unable to say who may of been the Mafia.
Knowing that the killer is still around, the town gathers once more to cast a vote and stop this killing spree.

Re: Mafia
Oh... Wow. I've been dealing with a lot of things, so I completely forgot about this. Sorry!
So who would have wanted to kill Metal?
Poison, whom Metal voted for right before his coma, is a rather plausible target.
But Innocent could have framed her, which she could have gotten away with, considering how Kaida she is.
Silver could have been jealous, seeing as Silver is a metal, and Metal is a metal as well.
In the same vein, Saber, being typically made of metal, or light in the case of Star Wars, might have wanted to remove the materials to craft new Sabers.
In a different vein, Josiah was rather quick to start a Sira killing bandwagon. Who would be so eager to vote someone out but a Mafia.
But we all know who the real mafia is. I shouldn't even have to say it, it's perfectly clear that Poik is obviously the mafia.
So obvious, in fact, that I vote Poison.

Re: Mafia
If it wasn't Sira, I think we all know what's going on here. It must be Josiah! He's such a master of manipulation, he had us doing his mafia work ourselves! He got rid of Grass, Sira, and now Metal, just like that! Well, I'm not going to fall for it any more - I'm voting for Josiah!

Re: Mafia
You say you're not going to fall for anything, Silver, but by voring for me you're falling right into the real mafia's trap! And who is the real mafia member? It could only be Poik! Look, he even comes right out and admits it in an effort to confuse us and throw us off his trail. But I'm too smart for that! I vote Poik.
