End Day Four...
Most people had remained silent, almost as if they wanted to be anywhere but near the Foreman, who seemed to be brooding, his steely gaze glancing upon each in turn in the room. Hours passed with little discussion, and many started to succumb to exhaustion.
Finally, the Foreman called in each for their votes. "As you usual, please place your vote in the hat, and it will be counted by an impartial party." Someone grunted with a bit of laughter in the background. The Foreman looked up sharply, fire in his eyes. "Who dares to subvert my authority..answer me, NOW! Who among you dares mock me!"
When no one answered, the Foremans rage finally billowed over, and he threw the hat to the ground, disregarding the votes, and picking Colbert Danielsson from amongst the crowd. "You...you dare to question my authority?"
Colbert Danielsson simply giggled. "Whatever, you ECD bastard, what are you going to do, lock me up, put me in front of a firing squad? Eject me into space? Ha, you can do nothing to me anymore, nothing at all..."
The Foreman smacked Colbert upside the face. "I've heard enough of you - Jenkins, put this man in chains and make sure he enjoys his stay in the brig."
As Colbert was carried away, he laughter could be heard, mocking the crew as he went to his fate. As the crew returned to their quarters for the night, someone reported a smell coming from Nevio Ratti's room. Upon investigation, his body was found, and had started to decompose, having died several days ago.

End Night Four...
It appears that the situation has quickly devolved into bickering parties - as can be expected. I'll continue to monitor them as you asked, but do not expect anything to come of this. In my most humble opinion, it is a waste of time that could be better spent elsewhere.
-------------------------------------------
Jorg, Alexis, and the Foreman stood in front of the view screens, each one wide awake yet with a look of being burdened by some great sorrow. Upon their screen was Jesse, silently reading an old western.
"Activate the locks"
A blip sounded in confirmation as Jesse's doors were sealed. The Foreman looked pleased, a warm glow spreading across his face as he smiled at Alexis and Jorg. "I am so glad we could finally come together on something, aren't you?"
-------------------------------------------
John Jenkins sat morosely in his office, already missing Akakios's presence. "Aw, dammit...why did I just go along with it? I just followed along like I usually did...not one to disrespect or disobey...yet..." The whiring of the fax machine sent John flying form his chair in shock, but he quickly recovered and ran to it, snatching away the papers from it's mechanical jaws.
"...again! I asked for someone else, not Jorg! I know the mans innocent!" Dissappionted, John sat down and sighed. He stared into the abyss and began to twiddle his thumbs in expressionless contemplation. Something caught his eye - at first it really didn't mean anything, but then...there it was! Like a twitch! Must be tired, John thought.
But no...he watched and it grew...and to his horror, the abyss began to look back at him. His mind reeled as reality ripped readily roughly right before him. He felt as if a thousand icy cold fingers pierced his skull and gripped his mind, weaving their way in like worms. His mind ached with a burning pain, wringing thoughts form it like a wet cloth as his body spasmed.
From the darkness, a young man appeared, dressed in a white tuxedo and fedora, a red dress tie, and a devilish smile with cunning, bright eyes. "Hello, oh loyal follower, it is I, your most magnanimous messiah. I am trying to speak incoherently so as to not be understood, for if you understood me, then my religion would make sense and become decipherable and questionable, like all others, I can't allow that to happen, so you must deal with the incoherence."
As the man adjusted his hat, a shadow passed over him, and his smile turned into a frown as he suddenly teleported from where he was standing to the opposite end of the room facing the opposite direction. Across from him, stood a woman in a fine black gothic gown, with tear stained eyes. "So this is where I find you - playing childs games."
"Tis not for you to decide how I perform my duties Sorrow. You will remain forever narrow minded - even our master thinks it so." Sorrow's face scrunched up in pain. "Silence! Enough of these games!" Gesturing towards Jenkins, a stillness came over the air. Silence pervaded until Jenkins body seemed to relax, and in moments, sag to the ground lifelessly - Jenkins had given up on life.
Sorrow then turned to the man in white, and held out her hand. "It is time, come." Breaking into a smile again, the gentleman shook his head. "I think not, you see, my light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is currently being energized. Ergo, that which is whoop will verily be shooped. Genuinely." Sorrows face became a picture of confusion, until her eyes widened in realization.
The Gentleman opened his mouth and a gigantic lazer beam pummeled it's away through the space once occupied by Sorrow, who had immediately dissipated into ichor and smog. The Gentleman tipped his hate, produced a cane, and walked happily out of the room whistling to himself.
-------------------------------------------
"Yes! Do it!"
"A sacrifice for the Blood God!"
"A tribute to the True Faith!"
"A prayer of greatness to Chaos!"
"Oh, but is he worthy?"
"But he is, for he has been chosen!"
"Then prepare him!"
-------------------------------------------
In the morning, after the death of Jenkins was announced, a message was found yet again, this time by arranged pieces of broken glass from smashed syringes from the medical bay. Drops of blood and body parts were used for punctuation, and it didn't take long to realize that the remains were those of Sullivan Whitaker.
"Hello again, my little pretties... or perhaps I should say one pretty and several disgusting little uglies. But no matter, the great and magnanimous Bootsquelcher III cares only a little bit about whether your fingernails are like those of a flying monkey. I do hope you're not pinching the eyes off of robotic spiders, because that could make the clowns around these parts very snarky. I'd like all of my volunteer skydivers to meet at the place where the horizon begins, so that the nonbelievers may be rear-ended repeatedly by the talking cars."
The Foreman looked at everyone else. "You all know what to do."

I've been tracking the voting patterns. AVSM has had two votes all game.
He's made a lot of in-character comments to look as though he's saying stuff but he's not added to the discussion at all. Look at all of AVSM's posts in this game to-date. We know we're dealing with an insane cult, and his low-key behavior tells me that not only does he have something to hide, but that he's probably the cult leader. If anyone has evidence clearing him I will unvote him. However, at this point the cult has probably got a lot of people and I'm not sure I will get any support no matter who I vote for.
If anyone has the desire or the ability to vote for AVSM, please demonstrate that ability so I know you're still sane.

Jesse O'Donnell (Neutral) - Unregistered Psychic
You've spent most of your life trying to avoid and escape the authorities of the ECD. See, your a psychic, and according to the ECD, anyone who is psychic is a danger to those around them and must be quarantined, reeducated, and trained to be their little puppet and work for Big Brother until the day you die.
Yea, not the happiest fate, so you long ago decided to hide as soon as the policy was instated, and have managed to find this horrible place, which even the ECD has forsaken - thanks god. You've actually became one right along with the miners and are one of the good old boys at this point, and with the cash your earning for each shipping season, you think you can retire right along with the rest of these guys...
Just as soon as this annoying runt of a saboteur is found! Ugh, with him in the way, you'll never top off your retirement money to a more pleasing out of the way local, hopefully outside of the ECD's circle of power.
So snap to!

3. You must survive until the end of the game.So yeah. Your choice. Either an admitted cultist or a neutral who need only survive, and is incapable of killing. :juggle2:

That seems to indicate I was wrong all along about one thing.
Either the theory that the cult can only randomly vote is wrong (doesn't look like it) or the one where AVSM is cult is wrong. I'm glad I was wrong about the right thing. Good to have you aboard, AVSM.
Well, as it happens, I'm an investigator of sorts too. I can investigate, but I don't choose who- it's random, like many other things in this game, apparently.
And I can tell you that khaan is definitely mafia scum. In fact, I am more than certain of it.
Askthepizzaguy
07-02-2009, 19:46
Two investigators?
Chaotix, the reason I am hesitant to believe you is because I was working with an investigator already, and he died, and there was no indication he was mafia or cult. Also bothering me is that you're voting for the same candidate the (admitted) cultists are. And, your abilities are random as well, just like the cultists.
However, Khaan was never checked out by johnhughthom, so I am willing to vigilante kill him tonight.
Knowing there is a third faction which could aid us in destroying the cult actually makes me hesitant to do so, though. He's obviously not friendly with the cult, so... :shrug:
I am not sure how to proceed.
I realize why you might be hesitant to believe me, what with the random corresponding with the cult and everything. As I understand my role pm, I'm an engineer who is a little kooky, but also knowledgeable.
So, because of this, I knew something was up and that there was a cult from the very beginning- you may remember Day 2, where I tried to get the knowledge out without getting myself lynched, which almost did happen. And I have the ability to "request investigations", but I never choose who gets investigated.
Askthepizzaguy
07-02-2009, 20:14
Yes, I remember that bit about day 2.
I had a feeling something was up with that. I had assumed if you were truly dangerous to the cult they would have converted or killed you by now.
I am looking at this from the position of the town in Fillet Royale 2. If there is still a mafia around, that is almost a good thing, seeing as we could be outnumbered, or outnumbered very soon.
My gambit then was to play them off of one another, which would have worked... just as it would have worked in the Treehouse of Horror... When the chips are down this is what you have to do.
Khaan is a known quantity. We know the cult is spreading, we know they must have a leader or recruiter, or perhaps they have a limited amount of recruits, who knows. It's a necessity that we destroy anyone who is a cultist, it's a greater priority at the moment than even going after the mafia.
Assuming we can wipe out the cult, there is a chance there's enough townies left to outvote Khaan. That's my best option. If you have any information to share which could affect that decision, I need to know now.
Remember, however, than khaan can place one of us completely under his control- it's right in his role pm. So he technically has two votes if he manages to control someone.
Go back and look for me in the Night 3 write-up (I think that was the one). And then look for my activity in the following day.
Edit- No, it was Night 2.
I think he may be more harm than help in destroying this cult... if we have no way to control his actions, he could do anything.
Askthepizzaguy
07-02-2009, 20:29
If he can take control of someone then he can certainly help us with the cult. He could take control of one of them.
In fact, it would be in his best interest to do so. They are more of a threat to him than we are.
That's certainly true. We just have to find a way to make him cooperate with us, though. Since we've lost most of our Pro-town power roles, it seems, we don't have much to persuade him with except for "we won't lynch you as long as you don't kill us."
Askthepizzaguy
07-02-2009, 20:44
Persuasion won't be necessary. It's the fact that like us, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Cults can spread, town and mafia cannot. The top priority is always the cult.
We really don't have any winning options standing apart. If town decides to go solo against both teams, we lose. The only other option I see is killing Khaan and joining the cult... but that to me is the coward's way out. I'd rather not surrender to them.
So you say...
Alright, we'll see how this works out. I'm hesitant to believe that we can really work together with khaan, but I'll go with the AVSM lynch for now, and leave him alone.

We must always ask ourselves - at what point does the truth have relevance? In the face of so much ignorance, the truth becomes what the most powerful person decrees it to be, and the more outlandish it becomes, and the more fervently this "truth" is preached, the more the real truth becomes a lie, and the new truth becomes gospel.
Such is this "new", unquestionable truth, that it is easy to accept, as is all forms of ignorance, and wears little on the mind - all one has to do is just accept, and give into it. It becomes so great, that to question it is to make yourself a pariah, to cast your own self out.
Faith, Religion, Trust - well crafted truths, that are easy to accept compared to the true, grim reality.
Those who have spent their lives, their eyes forever clouded, by "truth", struggle, once confronted by reality. And as reality starts to overwhelm them, they sink further and further into their "truth", to escape. They try to hold onto what sanity they can, for fear of losing it. They will ignore what is in front of them, the reality of the situation, because they simply refuse to accept that their truth, is a lie.
And so it is, so shall it be - the first man to open his eyes, is the first man to be free from the prison "of truth". His mind is free, even if his body is not. Such is the fate of those onboard this rig - I shall watch their culling as they struggle with the gravity and reality of their situation, and select those who show the most promise.
For we will need those who can cast off their truths, accept the lies, and see past the vile of ignorance and into the wonder of reality - yet keep their mind.

Begin Night Five...
You mutineers will be shot, survivors will be shot again. :skull:
End Night Five...
Alexis sat, crying, in her bedroom. Tears dripped from her pale face, splashing upon the cold steel floor with a deadening thud. Her body convulsed from the pain, the knowledge of what was to come. She looked up into the mirror one last time, to see Alexis Elder, one last time.
She reached for her makeup, long forgotten and hidden under her bed, and began.
--------------------------------------------
Kadrn pulled back the slide on her handgun, reading herself mentally as looked down upon door to Jorg's room, which had been kicked inward, as if something had sucked it into the room through a straw. Kadrn was quick, agile, her mounted flashlight darting into the room, her body swiftly following. It played across the room, Kadrn's light, illuminating the torn bedsheets, the destroyed work bench, the dark scrawled etchings, mathematical formulas describing some sinister atomic reaction.
Kadrn found a book, open up to a page detailing the exact layout of the rigs engine, the page covered in bloody fingerprints. Kadrn left the room in a flash, racing to reach the lower sectors...
--------------------------------------------
Sasha Polzin contemplated his current situation. He had tried to stay out of the rigs affairs, hoping that the situation would resolve itself, but it appeared to not be so. In any case, Sasha was prepared.
Removing a false panel in the floor of his room, Sasha began to assemble the parts to an automatic rail rifle, courteously provided by the Combine Intelligence Initiative, along with ammo, basic medical equipment and body armor. Sasha smiled - there was but one man between him and getting of this rig, and too few to stand in his way. the Combine would have what it needed.
"Oh but I think not, my dear Polzin"
Sasha twirled around to face the intruder, but it was no use, for the intruder grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air as if but a feather. "Do not struggle, little one, for I am not death but deliverance! I will release you, when I am done with you, but for now, I am in need of your talents."
Sasha could not focus on his attacker, who's body was wrapped in a trench coat, his hands in black gloves, his face obscured by a rudimentary mask and gauze, with but one eye visible. Suddenly, an arcing pain shot through Sasha's neck, arcing it's way into his spine and through his limbs. As the terrible sensation crept into his skull, Sasha's vision of the world faded, and so did the vision of himself.
--------------------------------------------
The woman who was once Alexis glided silently across the cold, hard metallic floor in her old white wedding dress, torn and eaten from years of existence. Her face was of porcelain beauty, her eyes locked forever onto something beyond the realm of man, her skin a ghostly white, her lips red as the blood that flowed in her veins.
In her hands, she held her wedding ring, her fingers playing over the rim as she rolled it upon her palm. The engine rooms lights cast her in a deathly glow as she made her way through it's twisting hallways, her mind lost but her body knowing the way. Under her breathe, she practiced a sweat melody of mindless babble.
And there, before her, was the pair of great doors, blasted open by some great fiery source, and within the dark recesses of the power plant, was Jorg, upon the slain, the bodies dismembered and used to create an imposing throne of gore. Jorg smiled upon seeing the doll before him in her lovely dress, and a smile crept across his bloody, flesh stained lips. The Doll looked up expectantly.
Jorg's grin widened, exposing his perfectly white teeth. "So you have come! I see, you are in shock. You will adjust to it in due time, as you will many things accorded to your station."
The Doll continued to stare, as if past him.
"Understand, your obedience is not what is needed, but only your self-actualization. You will find that in due time, you to will understand, as have many."
The Doll made a forced smile, and Jorg clapped his hands merrily. "Ah, see! Progress! Oh, and it appears we have visitors! Come out, come out, Miss Kadrn! Guests should introduce themselves!"
Kadrn came out pistol raised and leveled at Jorg's head. Between the mercenary and Jorg the Doll stood, utterly oblivious to what was developing. "It's time to put this at an end, get down from the bodies."
Jorg leaned back, smugness crossing his face. "Or what, dear Baronness? You cannot threaten me! I am the master of this domain! I am a God here!" Kadrn spat. "No, your delusional, and it's time to bring you down!" Kadrn fired a quick burst of shots, each ripping into Jorg's body, who could only stare in surprised shock at his wounds.
As Jorg's life drained upon his macabre throne, Kadrn relaxed, and tossed her gun to the side, as she turned to greet the man in the Mask, with Sasha in tow like a little soldier boy. "Is he really needed?"
"That is for me to decide" replied the man in the Mask, "I'm simply controlling the variables, as you asked me to."
"Good, this leaves only one last thing to take care of then."
"The woman?"
"Leave her, she's gone, she is not important."
"You truly are no fun..."

So.... everyone is a cultist now?
I have a feeling the write-up's not over yet, actually.
It's excellent so far, though. :2thumbsup:
As Kadrn shrugged, the engine room shook as if hit. The masked man and Kadrn looked about for the source, startled. As the rig settled down, the masked man scoffed.
"We need to begone form this place already! Come Kadrn!"
Kadrn shook her head. "Allow me to insure that this...mess, is taken care of." Walking swiftly over to a control panel, Kadrn's quickly opened up the colling units regulator and moved to turn it off.
"I think not", said the throne. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSG9uSiiC_Y)
Kadrn froze, and the masked man searched about for the noise, as the Doll's face began to crack into a psychotic smile. Jorg's dead body limply stood up and plummeted to the floor with a sickening thud. It rose, a twisted look in it's dead eyes, and walked over and stood by the Doll.
The fabric of reality began to peel back, an opening into forever, as the dimensions of the engine room shifted and warped, taking on the form of some demented child's vision of what a space ship looked like. Kadrn backed away from the console, to the relative safety of the masked man.
"Do something!"
"What would you have me do?!"
"She would have you kill me," spoke a man in a white tuxedo and fedora, with a red tie, who had slipped into view between the thin veils of reality like a marker in a book, "and spoil all the fun." The man took a bow before them all as the Doll clapped with empty headed delight, Jorg gurgled blood in approval, and before the masked man's eyes, Sasha gave a salute.
The masked man whirled. "How! Impossible! His mind is mine! He is mi- agaghaghhgghh!" The masked man fell to the floor as the man in the tuxedo gave him a dour look and pointed his cane at him. "I find it highly displeasing you would think to control people - a person never belongs to another, they belong to each other, isn't that right my dear?" Giving the Doll a loving kiss, the man in the Tuxedo waved his hands, and summoned the throne Jorg had built for him, as Sasha moved towards him.
"So kill us, and be done with it!" screamed Kadrn. the man in the tuxedo chuckled. "And what fun would that be? No, instead, let us prolong the game for one more round, and see where we all truly lie. Let us let the best judge of what is fair decide! Chaos itself! Jorg, prepare my coming by being my prophet - go forth, and spread my word to a new world!" Jorg obediently gurgled, and slipped between the fabric of reality, to some unknown destination.
"Now, with but only the 5 of us, let us each show, who we truly are. Begin."
Begin the Final Day...

So, what do you guys think right now? That's right, let's be nice and open. I'm gettin' a bit tired, and so, I'm just gonna post a few thoughts before hitting night night.
Iskander- are you even allowed to speak anymore? Or are you just supposed to be Chaotix' little toy? Sit there and look pretty, ya know.
Pizza- Why the backstab? I mean, its pretty darned obvious by the writeup that we were in cahootz, and now you backstab me, at this hour? That really is quite irritating. Got a nice little deal setup, I assume? Chaotix is just gonna let you live after all this? You really think he won't kill you? I mean, look what's happened to Iskander- a doll, won't even say anything. Heck, AVSM has to keep spinning the wheel of fate time after time to vote for who he wants.(which, again, seems to defeat the purpose of it being a random vote. Sorta like the magician who claims to everyone "Look, I can roll a seven with these two dice, totally random!" And then promptly rolls the two dice 5 times over and over until he gets the 7. Nobody is applauding that). Ya, we'd been in cahootz all game long, folks. It was a fun ride, but its ticking me off that you decide now to throw me under, when you could have done so much sooner. It really wasn't nice to draw this thing out so long.
AVSM- Why'd you break free of me? Did Chaotix subjugate you after me? Or are you merely being a pest to me? Life under my rule would be much nicer than under Chaotix- Look at chaotix himself, frollicking freely after spending a few turns under my enlightened guidance- you'll just end up dead or worse following him.
Chaotix- my, my, what to say? Ok, actually I know what to say first. Why'd you lie to me when you were supposedly required to answer truthfully? Were you never really under my control, or did you break the rules?
How were those times under my rule? How fun was it to want vote me soooooooo badly and not be able to? How much time did you spend trying to circumvent the rules?
How did you break my hold on AVSM? Surely you can't just be more powerful than me- I had you, even if only a few turns.
/end rant.
Askthepizzaguy
07-05-2009, 10:24
What is wrong, my pet? Surely you have shown your devotion to me over these past several nights... Do you serve me? Or were you only serving your own selfish whims? You should praise my greatness, and celebrate your role in the numerous deaths that I caused. Indeed, if at this late hour I should choose to discard you, then that is what you are to me... a nothing. Once useful, now... an empty shell left to rot.
What do you know.... of "Hell"? It is a curious human term for something your people used to believe in. A place of demons and devils and goblins and all manner of unpleasantness. Why would you little mortals believe in such a thing? Is it because... you WANT it to exist?
Such cruelty... such desire for cruelty. When your little, meaningless, suffering existence is over, you imagine a place where the disembodied go to die... over and over again... in everlasting agony. Would it surprise you to know, that what lies beyond this dimension is something far, far worse than that, more glorious and terrifying than you can possibly imagine? That is where my brother and I come from; and what you consider pain and horror is nothing compared to what is truly in store for you.
What puzzles me is your foolish human moralities. If something serves your best interest, why would you not take advantage of that? Since you have nothing to look forward to at the end of your days, you are simply wasting time if you do not seize what greatness there is to be had. Some few of your kind have seen the sense of that, and though their short pointless lives are nothing of any significance, they enjoyed their existence for as long as it lasted, and that is all they needed to be concerned with.
My precious pet, you have served me well. You should thank me for ending your life... that is a mercy that very few deserve. The gentle kiss of death, my adoring Khaan, is the end I have chosen for you... it is the shield I am using to protect your consciousness from Madness. That is the only way. When you can feel no more pain and experience no more horror, then Madness cannot get to you.
That you would question your queen and dare ask for an explanation; it makes me laugh. Perhaps my tender mercies are not what you deserve. Perhaps my brother can show you what it means to have your consciousness burn; to be torn apart by the ravenous jaws of a predator; bent, twisted into the shape of his choosing, your immortal being forever enslaved to his terrifying whims.
It was never your choice anyway. I could kill you with a thought, but it wouldn't be this much fun.
Chaotix- my, my, what to say? Ok, actually I know what to say first. Why'd you lie to me when you were supposedly required to answer truthfully? Were you never really under my control, or did you break the rules?
How were those times under my rule? How fun was it to want vote me soooooooo badly and not be able to? How much time did you spend trying to circumvent the rules?
How did you break my hold on AVSM? Surely you can't just be more powerful than me- I had you, even if only a few turns.
Ha. Well, you see, I didn't lie to you, khaan. I never did. I consulted with my RandomGod, Your Lord and Conqueror, and he decided that as long as you weren't specific enough, half-truths would be quite sufficient in answering your questions. Every answer I gave you was true, I just left out a few of the interesting bits you forgot about.
I mean, you never asked about my alignment, because you just assumed I had been converted to your side. You didn't even ask if I was a cultist. I mean, where's the sense in that? So it's entirely your fault that you couldn't figure out who I was.
As for your second question: I suppose you can imply the answer to that by the fact that I have dedicated myself to destroy you, even having gotten your own master to betray you? How does it feel to have been subverted by someone you thought was under your control? Tell me, how does it feel to be hopelessly screwed over, with absolutely no chance of victory?
You have no idea of the extent of my power. I'd say you caught me at a bad time at first... and you had my sister helping you out. But when it comes to individuals, there is nothing that can triumph over the power of randomness- it is simply too appealing. Sasha knows that. He likes very much being free to choose his own destiny, rather than being stuck in the grasp of your grimy puppet-master's hands.

Neither was a lie, but neither is the whole truth either. If at any point you had said "tell me your entire role pm", or something as such, he would have been forced to tell you everything. But instead, you asked only "who are you, what are you", and Chaotix had two possible answers for that, as would have anyone should they have had a cover role.
That was the inherent limitation on your ability - it was only as good as you were willing to be inquisitive, stubborn, and anal on the details.

I do hope, when he shows up to vote, that he realizes he loses if I am lynched. Because, you know, I'm his leader. And, um, with no one protecting him and AVSM, they're going to get eaten by Sorrow.

White Eyes, I explained to you that you were converted because you were stripped of your abilities. No immunity to conversion, no ability to reactivly kill.
Blame Khaan, he is the one who did it.
YLC, out of curiosity, did I get the worst special ability in the entire game? Everyone has all these powers, gods, psychics, cultists, etc and the ability I got was to talk to a person not even in the game or even reading the thread. :cry:

Which, IMO, was actually pretty sad. No, Navarro was burdened with the prototype ability as well, which was supposed to help you circumvent communication rules, that others were forced to accept.
You should have made it some sort of Psyhic ability along the lines of telepathy. Using this, probably by sending messages through the host (to ensure rules are kept and possibility anonymity) allowed them to message anyone (anonymous unless they say otherwise in message), and possibly to receive one reply from them.
This way, they could try to probe people for plans or ideas, or even lie about their abilities in order to effect some real change in the game. It might be a reworking of the ability for you to consider.
IN ANY CASE...
Madness's face bunched up in anger as he watched his own followers turn on him. "I liberated you! I set you free, and granted you the chance to become something greater! And you listen to this, this, this fiend of a woman! How dare you!"
"Enough, brother, it is time. Either come quietly, or return as nothing more then aether to our home." Sorrow stood, her hand outstretched, as Pain and Agony stood behind her, queitly observing.
"NOOOO! I was this close! Damn you, damn you to the infernal depths of the infinite layers of the hell of your own making!" Madness's body twitched, as it began to bulge and rip, aetheral light seeping through the holes and tears. "This will not be the last of me! I will create the universe in MY image! I will not be a slave to any of the self proclaimed Outer Gods!"
With Sorrow, Pain and Agony, the Doll Alexis, and Sasha looking on, Madness's body exploded into a shower of confetti and and candy, a last act of utter insanity, as his psychic essence ripped a whole through space and escaped before Sorrow could move.
"But...how?! Where...where did he come across such power! When was he no longer tied to phsyical form! Who gave him this power!"
A voice from everywhere answered in an English accent, "I did".
From the dark, hundreds of little hands came skittering towards the corpse throne, where they began to use spare body parts, a sewing needle, and thread to construct a body. The voice continued to anamenate from nowhere.
"I set this entire encounter up. It was I who set Madness free, I who had them select you to bring him back, I who gave you advice, I who was the whisper and conscience in everyone's ear. I controlled the variables of this game from start to finish, and each "cultist" bowed to my whims, and mine alone. I've been in control of this situation since the start..."
As the words had begun, a head head formed, and from there the sound began to originate from the deformed jaw. It's voice echoed, as if caught in a canyon with several other people. As it finally finished, so did the hands and thread. Cracking his neck, Deception stepped of of his throne and ran his hand through the Doll's hair.
"How sad...even now your mind has come back to you, but the knowledge revealed had shocked you right back to where you came. You are forever locked in your emptiness by your own fear - nothing more then a plaything or object. Worthless..." With a flick of his hands, Deception snapped the Doll's neck, which fell to the floor limply with a clatter.
He looked over at Sasha, who seemed perfectly fine. "Good, begone, live your life. My experiment is done. Your life need not be taken." Turning to Sorrow, disgust filled Deception's face. "You however, disappoint me! I had hoped you would have found him, that you would have done this on your own, but instead, you involved the rest of the crew in your sordid affairs and cost them their lives. You have managed to, in your completion of your task, to also utterly fail at it!"
Sorrow's eyes hardened. "I do what I must!"
"No, you did what you wanted to! Rules be damned! You are the reason we hvae met failure before, and I refuse to tolerate it. You have failed your rite of passage - it is time you are replaced with someone more competent." Sorrow's eyes widened. "Wait..what? Replaced? You can...you can't just replace me!"
Deception's frown turned to a smug smile. "I can, and will. Just as I enabled Madness, so thus I disable you, and trap you forever in your body. Enjoy what life is going to be left of you, mortal." Deception nodded to Pain and Agony, who bowed deeply. "I thank you for this opportunity to prove my worth to you master. Come, little sorrow, little wench, I am in need of entertainment." Sorrow did a double, then a triple take, suddenly lost in the confusion. until it dawned on her and she fell down and cried, her fate sealed.
Pain and Agony responded in their duel voice, "We are waiting..."
-----------------------------------------------------
Outside of the mining rig, Sasha Polzin contemplated what had gone on the the ill fated vessel. His hand idly tapped the brief case next to him, and as he locked in the coordinates to the nearest Combine controlled port, he thought better of it.
Second Serial Killer Victory, and Combine Victory!
Khaan and AVSM have won Dark Descent!
Second place winners - ATPG and Chaotix
Third place - the Town.

I'll take it but I think it deserves an explanation.
Hrmm... I am confused, but also less annoyed at AVSM, now.
It's odd that he somehow avoided the cult, but if he was pursuing a solo victory, I understand why he betrayed me.
And I know that I was right about khaan. ATPG told me he was completely under control... but if he had Psychic abilities I knew he had to be a Nephilim himself.
Well, good game, although the ending was a bit... strange, to say the least.

OK YLC, now can you actually post the plot and the roles? Here's what I got so far:
Day 1: You're Jorg the Engineer, you have a team, yay
N1: One of your teammates gets drugged and his abilities get all wonky yet its not in the writeup
A few nights later: You are converted to Random cult - use random.org for votes/kills. No other details about cult provided - whats our motivation, goals, etc. Ok I can live with that.
Next night: Send in order to block. Instead in writeup I am Blorlax the corpse builder (where did I get all those corpses anyway btw?) Apparently I am converting my former teammate to a mindless doll and know exactly what's going on. What does it have to do with Random cult? Why is Random cult even trying to kill people? What do we need a corpse throne for? I thought we're all about random.org! Bam you're dead. No, wait, undead. No, ok, re-dead now.

I wonder how I survived...
First off, I'd like to apologize to YLC for being so inattentive in this game that I had to be called out on it in a different one to actually start doing something in it.
Incidentally, I think this lurking actually ended up helping me out in the game. With general night-immunity, I would need to be lynched, and with all the cultists, esoteric power roles, and extensive write-ups, suspicion generally escaped me entirely. I was simply a regular townie to them, with no need to waste a lynch, or two attacks on.
After I was indoctrinated, things got a little hard to follow. I'm still trying to figure it out.

My original role PM:
Jesse O'Donnell (Neutral) - Unregistered Psychic
You've spent most of your life trying to avoid and escape the authorities of the ECD. See, your a psychic, and according to the ECD, anyone who is psychic is a danger to those around them and must be quarantined, reeducated, and trained to be their little puppet and work for Big Brother until the day you die.
Yea, not the happiest fate, so you long ago decided to hide as soon as the policy was instated, and have managed to find this horrible place, which even the ECD has forsaken - thanks god. You've actually became one right along with the miners and are one of the good old boys at this point, and with the cash your earning for each shipping season, you think you can retire right along with the rest of these guys...
Just as soon as this annoying runt of a saboteur is found! Ugh, with him in the way, you'll never top off your retirement money to a more pleasing out of the way local, hopefully outside of the ECD's circle of power.
So snap to!
Abilities
1. You may not be converted to any other purpose during the night.
2. You may select one other person during the night - during the next night, you may use their ability as if it were your own, and they are blocked from using theirs. You lose the pilfered ability during the following day phase and must use this ability again to obtain another ability.
3. You must survive until the end of the game.[/FONT]
You must roleplay to use your abilities - please roleplay as a male miner who is well known, is one of the good old boys, enjoys mining, is an enthusiastic debater and excellent pool shark and is decent at cards, loves to drink, has a tendency to swear up a storm if the ECD or the Mercenaries are mentioned, and who dislikes hard asses.
Night one, I targeted WhiteEyes. Apparently something blocked him, and was lucky not to be killed. Apparently, YLC very literally meant "pilfering", and WhiteEyes never got his powers back. :beam: I thought it was a temporary thing, and so, I decided not to mess with White eyes again when I found out what his ability was.
Incidentally, the same night, Pizzaguy apparently targeted me, as I was apparently part of his victory conditions. When he targeted me(not a kill attempt, something else apparently), I didn't seem to take to well to the whole thing. And thus, Pain and Agony were born.
During the night, you manage to pilfer White Eyes' ability, which has a chance of killing those who use an ability upon him and prevents his conversion...to what? Mans already nuts! But as you leave, you feel the overwhelming presence of Sorrow literally strangle your conscious. You blackout, and in the slow, horrible hours that follow, you are turned from a respectable human being to a creature of lovercraftian horror.
What you were, you are no longer, what you will be, you are now, and what you have become, you will always be.
You are now Pain and Agony, and betwixt the two of you, you now serve Sorrow (ATPG) - but, for you both, thats just a poor way of saying you need to fit into your new mindset.
As Agony -
During the night, your ability changes to allow you to rob someone of their vote. Your vote gains double it's power during the day and they lose their vote altogether.
As Pain -
You may select one person to personally torture mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This temporarily robs them of their current alignment, and makes them mafia and subject to your will. However, this does not change their victory conditions and you must communicate with them directly. You may do this to only one person at a time however.
As Pain and Agony -
Your new to this, but you don't like being commanded by ANYONE, let alone this insufferable little princess of a wench. Time to share some glorious carnage - everyone aboard must die or become subject to your will, including Sorrow.
You have lost all abilities from your previous role as well, but may still use it as a cover role.
My intention was to ride Pizzaguy all the way to a final round, where I would whip out Agony for the first time, rob Pizza of his own vote, and ram the world's largest, sharpest knife into his back. And twist it. :devilish: In the mean time, Pizza proved a highly valuable ally, as he had infiltrated two different townie groups, who were effectively killed off, though we hit a mighty snag when TheFlax's group blocked me. The night after I'd been converted into Pain and Agony, I picked up on Chaotix' highly scummy behavior he'd been engaging in with Pizzaguy- far too cautious, far too complementing, far too wishy-washy. Turns out I'd been right, and Chaotix had been under my thumb since night two. Unfortunately, as I'd stated, TheFlax's group blocked me, which released Chaotix from under my control. And, of course, I was a duntz and didn't ask the right questions to figure out he was a supreme cultist.
Of course, I must thank my "partner", Askthepizzaguy. It was a fun ride. It was informative watching you snake your way into pro-town groups, and it was fun trying to decipher the game's mechanics with you. I look forward to more engagements in the future. Just know that I will rip your heart out if I need to. :evil:
Anyways, it was a fun game, YLC. I'm still a bit confused by some of the mechanics, but I'm more cooled down after my little tirade. I'm sorry for any insensitive remarks I made. :shame: You're a very creative and engaging host. And Chaotix, I'm sorry for ripping on you- you did what any good mafioso should do, and probably what I myself would have done in that situation. What I said wasn't called for. :shame: A bit of what I said that round was acting- in the same way my complaints to pizzaguy backstabbing me were. But much of it was pent up frustration, and I was wrong for having said it.
I'm glad my group actually did something. Blocking 'khaan was the only success we got for the whole game. :laugh4: For some reason we were never able to get our orders right or something interfered. Even if I was clueless and manipulated throughout the game, it was a fun ride, especially try to hide from ATPG I had been converted. Thank you YLC. :bow:

Ah well, still was a fun game. I'll take the second place slot, then. Congrats, Khaan.

Interesting game, even if I was killed off early and had no clue what was going on. Thanks. :bow:
Anyways, it was a fun game, YLC. I'm still a bit confused by some of the mechanics, but I'm more cooled down after my little tirade. I'm sorry for any insensitive remarks I made. :shame: You're a very creative and engaging host. And Chaotix, I'm sorry for ripping on you- you did what any good mafioso should do, and probably what I myself would have done in that situation. What I said wasn't called for. :shame: A bit of what I said that round was acting- in the same way my complaints to pizzaguy backstabbing me were. But much of it was pent up frustration, and I was wrong for having said it.
Don't worry about it, khaan- you played an excellent game. Full of deceptions within deceptions, and you profited the most from it, it seems.
AVSM and Iskander, however... :whip:
:laugh4:
I'm curious as to what made AVSM decide to betray the cult, and vote against me, instead of going with the *nearly* unbeatable three vote advantage. What was your thought process behind that?
And, as for Iskander: what, did you sleep for 24 hours and miss the vote? :clown:
What made you so resistant to working with me?
Ah, I may as well post my role pm, too, before I empty my inbox. It's a real gem...
EDIT: Here it is:
Madness (Cult Leader) - The Randompope
The world is such fun! So many things to toy and play with, so much to see and create. No one understands us, so were just going to leave it at that and let the produce decide, with the rocks checking the vote, because everyone knows that stew cooked at 300F for red minutes is the best laser in existence...
...were was I? Oh yes, we were having fun showing the people the value of ripe and rotten tv sets! Wait, we must be wrong, I could never make such an obviously correct statement, so it must be we are here to convert them! Yes, lets make a pasta of the dark side of the moon topped with rainbow baconized strips of goodness...
...but I have to watch out for our sister, make sure Sorrow doesn't ruin our fun, cause everyone likes postulating about monkeys throwing typewriters while flying through sponge cake and calculated mountain farts. So thus, I name ourselves RandomPope, and we shall disguise ourselves as miners of cheese, wait no, rocks! If we say I mine rocks, it will be so unbelievable they will sparkle radio waves of purple shaped elephants! And we shal be named John Smith, so we can stand out! out in the open the cheesemongers will never find us and take away our precious rocks! Wait, where were we? Oh yes, I remember...
...Shoop Da Whooop!
Abilities
1. You can select two people during the night to convert into loyal followers of the religion of randompopeness, otherwise know as bananas smoking monkeys for the betterment of facial cream organization, randomly.
2. You can select one person at night to have their ability do random things instead of what is supposed to happen. if they don't have an ability, they will randomly get one for a random amount of nights that will do a random number of things.
3. Each night you may request an investigation - you will be randomly told someones guilt or innocence.
4. Your cultists have a night kill that will be performed upon a random person during the night - your immune to this randomness since it would be super random and perplexing for you to be killed by your own followers - however, your followers can kill each other.
You must roleplay to use your abilities - please roleplay as a male miner who is a bit odd, but otherwise stable, and clearly normal. Please write all PM's for conversions in the most hilarious, frightening, and insane way possible, since they will be posted inthread.
If your lobster is done buttering himself, ask any answers you may not have but otherwise are subjected to for unhelp.

Well, to put it simply, Iskander wasn't going for it, and I had both the possibility of my own victory, as well as immunity from night-kills. So I decided that I could make it through well enough if I broke ties with you. Iskander, I'm not sure what he was thinking. In the end, he just died.
I am sorry for it being confusing, the theme of insanity and madness does not work well for anyone but the GM :shame:

I think the biggest frustration was not receiving night results pms. I had no idea that we blocked khaan sucesfully for example. I was relegated to reading the writeup and seeing / not seeing my name mentioned, and then having me do / not do something that could be interpreted as role blocking, and still have no idea if it suceeded. I think the townies needed way more insight than we got, particularly into our own actions.

I did like the idea of the day writeup. You could force a reveal of the miner's names by drawing them into a discussion.

This was before I was blocked and recruited in the SAME night...:laugh4:
Sullivan Whitaker (Protown) - Miner
Down in the dirt, down in the darkness, you have time to contemplate things. As a miner, you have a lot of time in dirt and darkness, so one can say you've had a lot of time to contemplate things.
The things you've contemplated are how you ended up in this hellhole, who sent you here, why this material needs to be dug up, whats it used for...as time has gone on, you've come to the conclusion that someone is out to get you, and everyone else! It's a conspiracy!
And this saboteur is a part of it! He must be found, and questioned, to better learn of the conspirators plans! Hurry, before he learns your on to him!
So snap to!
Abilities
1. You cannot be converted to any other purpose during the night.
2. You will kill anyone who dares try anything on you, but this might end up in you dieing as well...
You must roleplay to use your abilities - please roleplay as a male miner who is just a little bit insane, who has wild theories for just about everything, and seems to trust no one.
Here is what YLC sent me after my conversion.....
During the night, you feel robbed of your paranoia and suddenly feel normal once more - clear thoughts ring through your head, but before you can truly enjoy your freedom, cackling laughter fills your head as your room fills with liquid banana cream pie filled with socks fit for monkeys that smell like ozone and cheap whores.
As you gag upon it and slowly drown, your mind is filled with insanity and the sudden epiphany of the religion of randomness, and the random pope appears before you.
"Go in fun my son, and preach the ways of chaos."
You are now a Cultist of the religion of randomness, and the random pope (Chaotix) is your messiah and god!
Your vote during the day is now decided by random.org, through me. Your first vote will be for TheFlax. If you wish to vote again, please PM me.
You may now work with Chaotix as you see fit.
You now have a random kill ability once each night, and it is up to you on whom you use it.
You retain your secondary ability from your former role.
To win, you must eliminate all non-cultists. Chaotix did more damage converting me..... then helping him win....he lost four people....I can't believe my random kill ability did that much damage....:laugh4:

You killed Khazaar, which ended up killing Tratorix, which ended up being the reason Atheotos was lynched.
And yes, but wait until endgame.
Does anyone know how this came about? i couldn't figure it out. :embarassed:

Khazaar and Tratorix where gay lovers - when one died, the other would as well the following day. Once they were both dead, the next night would be skipped and go directly into the next day. Because of this, and the activity that went with it, you were lynched.

ATPG asked me to vote for you and then Random.org obliged. Of course, I asked my team to vote for you, it was only logical. :clown:

Hey Chaotix, I received PMs from both you and Pizza. Not entirely sure whom to trust, and with my internet abilities severely limited, I decided to go with Pizza. Partly because his argument made sense and my mason group thought he was a good guy, plus to help him I merely needed to abstain. I didn't have the time to try and keep re-voting until the right person came up. Then at the end he asked me to vote anyways, but by the time I received it the game was already over.

I was completely evil from beginning to end. I wanted atheotes dead just so I could murder you that night. Everything I told you was a lie.

Were it not for Khaan being on a different team from me after I was told I successfully converted him to my side (come on, WHO would see that coming?) I played a pretty decent game. I ended up murdering half the town, my own "allies" in the mason group, and somehow managed to get Chaotix' group to betray him at the end. I figured I had won the game, seeing as AVSM just needed to survive and Khaan and I were still alive. Iskander was going to be the last to die.
Khaan gets to laugh that he fooled me, but were it not for my intervention, he'd be the one who died on that last day, so... :laugh4:
I'm proud of my performance this game, it's entirely too much fun being evil. I got what I deserved, but not after spreading destruction everywhere.
