Unfortunately I really needed at least 30 players at the bare minimum to start the Unova Rising game. There are too many power roles to play it as is, it would throw the balance out of whack. But don't worry, I will be re-hosting at a time when there are more active players in the Gameroom.

So without further ado, I am changing this game to my secondary concept:

Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie Mafia IN SPACE!

Including Pirates, Ninjas, Robots, Zombies and Pirate Ninja Robot Zombies.

And Mafia. And it's all... IN SPACE!

See, I can make some very self-explanatory game titles.

Since this is technically not the game you signed up for, I'm sending out confirmation PMs to everybody to make sure they are still in the game. I know some people said they only wanted to play the Pokemon game, so I'll respect that.

This is mostly a vanilla game. There's an interesting setup, but beyond that you won't really see anything as crazy as Pokemon duels to the death.

For this game, general mafia rules apply.

-Private communication is allowed for living players.
-Private and public reveals are allowed for living players.
-Dead players may not reveal, and may not communicate privately
-No screenshots, chatlogs, or tactics that break the spirit of the game, etc.
-Vote: Abstain is allowed.
-Vote: No Lynch is NOT allowed.
-Votes may not be edited into posts.
-Any players inactive for more than three day phases continuously or five day phases total are subject to the Wrath of SPACE. If outside circumstances are to blame, contact me beforehand and there may be a solution.
-Have fun, obviously.

So, you think you can be the best pokemon trainer of all time?

Yeah, right. You picked the fire pokemon? What a lame-o. I'll just pick the water pokemon. And I won't even beat you with water attacks. I'll teach it Earthquake and beat you even faster, just for the lulz.

So, you finally caught your first pokemon? Good for you! Except I already have five more, and they're all exactly the right type to turn your little weedle into bug splat. And I will, because they're all ten levels higher than yours. Better start grinding, lame-o!

Ready for that first badge? Well don't worry, I softened up the gym leader for ya. And I got the badge way before you, slo-mo!

Need to get your wounded, poisoned pokemon into a center for healing? Too bad! I challenge you and your last remaining pokemon to a duel. Better start using up all your potions!

Got a crush on that Misty girl? Too bad! She likes to ride on my motorbike. She wouldn't be caught dead with you and your little "bicycle", lame-o.

Think your new pokemon is pretty tough? I challenge you to a duel, and I'mma just use my level 3 Abra and I'll still beat you.

I could beat you with my magikarp, because you're that much of a noob! I could beat your team of legendary birds just by spamming Splash!

I've defeated Mewtwo with a Chansey using bide! I've beaten Mewtwo using ACTUAL BUG pokemon! My Parasect will own you with Spore!

I don't even use pokemon besides Generation I, using only generation I techniques! Come and get me with your Rayquaza, I'll still own it with my Wartortle that knows Ice Beam.

That's right, Wartortle. I could evolve it, but I'd rather troll you with less evolved forms.

I've got every badge, and I've already completed my Generation I pokedex. I've beaten every boss and bagged every babe. I am the greatest pokemon trainer of all time. You ready for the Elite Four? I've already pwnt them with a Caterpie. You think you're ready for me? You're not even ready for training pants.

You mad, bro? Even if you were to beat me every single time, everyone already knows I'm a billion times better than you are. Maybe I'm just letting you think you're better than me, so that when you finally face me after your several-months-long Nuzlocke Challenge, for the title of Pokemon Champion, I will paste you with the same Pokemon that you've always been able to defeat, just to burn you even harder. When you black out for the first time, it won't be the last. Too bad you'll have to start your entire run over again!

I am Gary :daisy: Oak. Remember that name. That is the name of your GOD.

Smell you later!

In :bow:...it must be said i know nothing of the pokemon universe :laugh4:

A brief introduction, as I imagine these relate to this game-

Essentially, pokemon are trained monsters which are stored in little devices known as "pokeballs". A trainer commands his or her pokemon during duels with other trainers. The trainer is usually allowed up to six different monsters per duel, usually only one monster is allowed to duel another, but there is a version where you can duel 2 versus 2 and so on.

The first thing you should know about pokemon is that the premise here is largely rock paper scissors. Pokemon have different "elements" or types. Example:

Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, Water beats fire.

As such, no one type has a dominating advantage. And there is more than three types of pokemon. There are a couple dozen different types. There's a type chart which allows you to see the various match-ups. Already posted in the OP, but let's continue-

Type advantage is not necessarily enough. If your pokemon is particularly strong or experienced, it will be able to endure the disadvantages of type differences in poor matchups and be able to defeat rivals which would ordinarily defeat them. This is usually because the opposing pokemon is not experienced enough, or is a particularly fragile breed of pokemon.

There is more than one species of pokemon per "type". There are many different fire pokemon, for example. Some are considered much stronger than others due to base stats such as attack, defense, special attack, special defense, hit points, and so on.

The game gets more complex than that, but as this game is a mafia game, much of that will likely not be simulated in this mafia game.

The most you will likely care to know is the current level of your pokemon (as covered in the OP) and the type, which will likely be all that is simulated during our match-ups in this game, or at least, the most information that we will be privy to.

Also, of interest is that pokemon of one type may be able to learn moves of another type, for example, Fire beats Ice pokemon, but the Ice pokemon may be able to use a Water type attack, and if the Ice pokemon is stronger or faster than the Fire type, the Ice type (normally at disadvantage) will win easily.

I do not know if this aspect will be simulated. But the game will likely not be as straightforward as Fire Beats Ice.

Also, as this is a mafia game, in all probability, you can win the game without knowing a thing about pokemon, assuming we simply lynch the anti-town parties.

Since outright lynching requires a stupidly massive bandwagon in this game, and will also cut down on the fun of dueling, and also eliminate advantage (if any) of dueling to raise our experience, I might suggest thinking of this as a mafia-pokemon hybrid game rather than straight mafia. I'll be interested in who I think is scummy but honestly, that's not all we might discuss in a given round.

I would offer my opinion that the anti-town parties in this game will be armed with legendaries, or something similarly strong, to enable them to withstand a typical duel. But, I would also opine that the town will have a few gym leaders/elite four type people who are simply really strong trainers. Having really impressive pokemon is interesting but, I would hope, not necessarily render someone guilty.

I bet the game host will have more accurate information than I would, but as he's hosting, would need to be impartial with his answers and may not be able to answer all your questions. I've played a game of the pokemans or two, and yes, I've thumped a level 100 Mewtwo with things like a Chansey or a bug pokemon, so my level of skill is not novice.

Mewtwo was the Big Bad pokemon of the first game(s). Its stats were higher than all other pokemon in most categories and could single-handedly thump most any team of six, including legendary pokemon, simply due to its very fast speed and almost unbeatable special attack and defense, and not too shabby defense. It could also learn most any move.

Beating a level 100 mewtwo with any single generation I pokemon is extremely difficult.

Unless you like to cheese with the one-hit-KO almost never hits the target attacks, and just restart the battle until you manage to hit it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1lBWocJdpY). In which case, you pokesuck.

I sent out at least 150 invites on Saturday, to everyone on the invite list as well as everyone who was in Capo IV.

If even a quarter of them had responded, I'd have enough to start right now. Unfortunately, it seems the Org has hit a slow period, and even the Gameroom is taking a hit because of it. I'll wait till Sunday, and if we've still made no significant progress till then, I'll switch to the secondary game and wait for a more active period to host Unova Rising. The show must go on, after all.

DAY 1

Thematic Music Link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKNOKPmjzvE)

The sun was shining on the Good Ship [To Be Named]. Actually, statistically speaking the sun was always shining on the Good Ship [To Be Named], or at least this sun out in the unknown star system they were sailing through was. The Captain was very skilled at his trade, and rarely flew behind the eclipse of a planet.

Meteors, however, were another story. In fact, this time the Captain flew so close behind the eclipse of this particular meteor that he scraped up the side of his ship pretty badly and blew a few poor Space Cadets out the new window into space before the airlocks closed down.

But after a minor accident like that, the crew was very efficient. They only lost seven more Space Cadets to open space before they realized the job of fixing the hull would be easier with their space suits on and got the job done. One of the Space Cadets still floated a little too far away from the ship and got left behind, but at least his body wouldn’t explode from the extreme lack of pressure. He would get to enjoy the rest of his life enraptured in the wonders of space, and who wouldn’t want that?

It was after the hull was fixed that the trouble really started. One day, not long afterward (in fact, it was all the same day because the sun never set), a dead Space Cadet turned up in the middle of the ship, dead. It looked as if he had been shot multiple times with both laser beams and bullets, and his head had been sliced clean off his neck. But most curious of all was that the severed head had been cracked open and was missing all of its brains.

The Captain, of course, could not abide such pointless loss of life. He quickly called his entire crew to the Good Ship [To Be Named]’s Meeting and Bingo Room. As was expected, most of the Space Cadets were disappointed when they found out it was a Meeting they were gathered for and not Bingo, but that did not deter the Captain in the slightest.

“Listen up, Cadets! Today one of your fellow crewmates was found dead, inside the Good Ship [To Be Named]! This cannot be allowed to pass unpunished. We must find the ones resp-”

“What time today? Are we talking before the hull was torn open, or after we fixed it, or sometime in between?”

All the Space Cadets murmured in confusion. Indeed, this was a point of vagueness that must be addressed!

“What are you talking about? That rather misplaced meteor tore open the hull weeks ago! As I was saying, we must find the ones resp-”

“Actually, it’s technically all been the same day since the sun hasn’t set yet.”

All the Space Cadets began to murmur again in agreement. It was perfectly logical.

“That doesn’t even make any sense!”

Exasperated, the Captain saw he was about to lose his audience. Another few minutes like this and they might as well be playing Bingo.

Fine! Fine. It was later today, after the hull had already been repaired. Now, as I was saying before I was interrupted, we must find the ones resp-”

“Hey, can we name the ship today? I think we should name the ship.”

“The ship already has a name. It’s the Good Ship [To Be Named]. Not the name I would have chosen for it, but I wasn’t in command when they painted the letters on the side.”

“That’s not the name of the ship! That’s just the spot where you’re supposed to paint the name once you decide on it!”

“Oh, really? Why didn’t anybody tell me about that? Well, I agree, naming the ship is much more important than whatever I was talking about before. Let’s all vote on a name today, and once we decide I’ll send someone out to paint it on the side.”

“But won’t the person who goes out float away and get lost in space?”

“Of course not! I’ll just turn on the space gravity, and the lucky Cadet will go out in his Spacesuit with a can of Space Paint, and get the job done in no time at all! And then after that we can all play Bingo!”

All the Space Cadets cheered and danced with joy.

“Just to be clear, you’re going to vote on both the name of the ship, and the person who gets to go out and paint it. Now, get to work, all of you!”

The Space Cadets quickly set to their new task. Getting to name the ship and play Bingo, all in the same day that they tore the hull open on a meteor and then fixed it? This was shaping up to be the best day ever.

You heard the man! Start voting for what you want the ship to be called while I pass out your bingo cards, Cadets.

After you've got those, you can start voting on who gets to paint the ship, too.

Attention Cadets! All Bingo Cards have been passed out. If you're not a Space Cadet, it would be nice of you to kindly return your Bingo Card. We only have enough for all the Cadets here, and if you've got one, then you're depriving a poor Space Cadet of his rightful card. Besides, I'm sure you must have your own sort of wacky non-Space Cadet Bingo Card already anyway.

If for some reason, you don't have a Bingo Card, they all look like this:

You are a Space Cadet!

Yes, but a simple Space Cadet, living his life on the Good Ship [To Be Named], out on the open space. That is you. You love space. You love everything about space. And why not, what’s not to love about space? It’s big, it’s empty, and above all it’s SPACE. And that’s all there really is to say on the matter.

Except for the fact that some individuals are trying to ruin space, for you and everybody else on this ship. They hate space, and they hate you. And as a Space Cadet, it’s your duty to stop them, for the good of space.

Victory Condition

In order for you to win, all threats to the Good Ship [To Be Named] must be eliminated.

So you can make your own. Pick out the numbers yourself, you all know what they look like.

Please note that my Bingo Card will look more fancy than yours. This is because I forgot to turn on the Color and Bold settings on the Space Printer when I made them.

Oh, and you can all get voting on the lucky painter as well.

You know for some reason upon reading things in the writeup and in some on Chaotix's later posts I get the feeling that the person we send out to paint is going to be like our lynch this phase. If you could clarify that Chaotix that would be great but for now I Unvote Myself to paint. I however do still think the ship should be named JIMMY RUSTLES

It's just like the Captain said. Going outside to paint the ship while it's in motion should be perfectly safe just as long as he remembers to turn on the Space Gravity. You'll just stick to the ship like a magnet on a Space Refridgeration Device. And the Captain never forgets to do important things, you all know that, Cadets.

Well, Cadets, it looks like our voting period is over. I'm rather disappointed that just under a third of you decided not even to submit your input to the discussion. What kind of Space Cadets are you?

On the bright side, it looks like Zaccino is our lucky winner, and he'll even get to paint the name of his choosing on the ship: the Galactic Chutzpah!

Stay tuned while we get Zaccino into his Space Gear and start stirring up the can of Space Paint.

STILL DAY 1

The voting results were in. The immortal Zaccino had won in a landslide victory after he had volunteered himself for the job of painting the Good Ship [To Be Named]’s new name on the hull of the ship. Truly, there was no Space Cadet more enthusiastic or daring than Zaccino. Only a real, honest Space Cadet could both win the vote and get his name chosen as the new name. And Zaccino was immortal, there was no danger in him forgetting to wear his space suit or the Captain forgetting to turn on the Space Gravity.

No, none at all indeed.

With solemn respect for duty, marched down to the airlock, got into his Space Suit, and graciously accepted the can of Space Paint and brush that the Captain handed him. The Captain had chosen a lovely shade of BRIGHT OBNOXIOUS RED with which to paint the words “Galactic Chutzpah”.

And with much ceremony, the Captain pressed a button and Zaccino was blown out the airlock.

Then he flicked on the Space Gravity switch and Zaccino was drawn back towards the ship till he could stand on the outside of it. Zaccino quickly made his way over to the letters and began to paint over the old phrase [To Be Named].

It took him the better part of an hour, but when he was done, all agreed that Zaccino had created a masterpiece indeed. Of course, being on the inside of the ship they couldn’t very well see the newly christened G. S. Galactic Chutzpah in all her glory, so they had to take Zaccino’s word for it that it was truly as awesome as he claimed. And who wouldn’t believe Zaccino? He was immortal, and a great Space Cadet.

“All right, Captain, I, Zaccino, Immortal believe that I, Zaccino, Immortal, am finished painting the hull of the Galactic Chutzpah. I, Zaccino, Immortal, am requesting pickup.”

“Sure thing Zaccino. Let me just turn off the Space Gravity and we’ll get you right back in.”

What the Captain didn’t realize was that the Chutzpah was traveling at relativistic speeds, and as soon as he turned off the Space Gravity Zaccino was left behind thousands of miles away.

Then he realized it, and got a little embarrassed.

“Well… I mean, he is immortal, right? He’ll be fine if we just leave him out there.”

But the Space Cadets were having none of it.

“But Captain! The Space Cadet Handbook section 3722.4 states that a Space Cadet must never abandon his fellow Cadet in the wide reaches of open space unless he just looks like he’s chilling there and having a good time!”

The Captain scratched his chin, thinking about the effects that breaking a rule in the Space Cadet Handbook might have on a ship full of Space Cadets.

“All right then! Put the Chutzpah in reverse, we’re going back for Zaccino.”

The Galactic Chutzpah arrived back at Zaccino’s location and found him waiting there, stoic and immortal.

"I, Zaccino, Immortal, am still requesting pickup."

The Captain deployed a Space Lasso to help reel him back in. All was going well. It appeared as if Zaccino would survive the painting of the ship. But that was never in question, because he was immortal.

Then, all of a sudden, a GIANT SPACE WHALE floated by and ate Zaccino.

Fortunately, the Space Whale is strong in the art of telepathy, and I, Zaccino, immortal, have asserted dominance over its vast, simple mind, thereby enabling I, Zaccino, immortal, to properly communicate the superior thoughts of I, Zaccino, immortal, into the weak, inferior minds of you mortals.

I think you are sorely underestimating the effects of Space Gravity on this situation.

STILL DAY 1
[SLEEP CYCLE 1]

autolycus tossed and turned in his space sheets. He was sort of a light sleeper, and once something had woken him up during the night, it was very difficult for him to get back to sleep. And even though it was technically still daytime, this sleep cycle was no exception. Some sort of metal clanking outside of his quarters had jolted him awake a few hours ago, and he hadn’t been able to fall asleep.

It was ridiculous. The G. S. Galactic Chutzpah was a spaceworthy vessel, and of course there were going to be metal parts clanking around during the sleep cycle. If the mechanical parts only clanked when he was awake, the spaceship would surely sink beneath the galactic waves while they slept, and they would all get eaten by a GIANT SPACE WHALE like their crewmate Zaccino, immortal had.

Nonetheless, autolycus decided he wouldn’t be getting back to sleep any time soon, so he decided to go get a midnight snack. The pantry was always well-stocked with Space Cake and that stuff that looks like toothpaste but tastes like beef or carrots or broccoli depending on what color it was for such an occasion. He shuffled down the dark hallway, only lit by a blue light strip on the floor during sleep cycles.

When he got to the pantry, he opened up the Space Refridgeration Device and his mouth began to water. He quickly got himself a nice big slice of Space Cake and a tall glass of Space Milk, fresh from the Space Cows on planet Omicron-4, and looked for a seat at one of the many tables in the cafeteria.

To his surprise, he found one of the tables already occupied by a Cadet with a bowl and a spoon, noisily crunching away, so he decided to across from his fellow insomniac for some company. It was dark, and he couldn’t see his crewmate’s face, but he tried to be conversational all the same.

“So, what kind of cereal you got there, pal?”

His companion said nothing, but looked up from his bowl to stare straight into autolycus’ eyes with his own. autolycus noted that the eyes were glowing bright red and seemed to have no pupils, and that freaked him out just a little bit, but he decided to try and keep things from getting awkward.

“Say, from over here it kinda sounds like you’re eating batteries and nuts and bolts or something. Ehehehe… and probably washing it down with motor oil, from the looks of it. Heh… pretty stupid, huh?”

The other Cadet continued to glare at autolycus as he chuckled awkwardly. autolycus took a sip of his Space Milk to try to break the confrontation. Then he noticed that the other Cadet’s bowl was filled with a considerably darker fluid than the one in the glass in his hand. At this point he started to realize something was truly wrong, and tried to get up.

Before he could move, a metal hand slammed his wrist into the table, pinning him. autolycus struggled, but it was no use. He was stuck good now. His companion extended his neck far longer than a normal neck should be able to extend, right up against autolycus’ face. A sadistic, metallic grin stretched across his cold face. Then he spoke.

“OH, IT’S REALLY QUITE DELICIOUS. YOU SHOULD TRY SOME.”

“N-no, that’s all right, I wouldn’t want to steal it from you. S-see, I’ve got this cake right here-”

“I’M AFRAID I MUST INSIST. THE TASTE IS SIMPLY TO DIE FOR.”

And with that, the menacing creature pushed the bowl of batteries, nuts , and bolts in motor oil over to his side of the table. autolycus tried to knock it away with his free hand, but another metal hand came crashing down onto that one. Then a third metal hand popped out of the creature’s stomach and picked up the spoon. As the spoon picked up some delicious nuts and bolts, autolycus held his mouth shut tight.

“OPEN WIDE. HERE COMES THE CHOO CHOO TRAIN.”

When autolycus did not open his mouth, the hand thrust the spoon into his mouth, smashing all of his front teeth. autolycus gagged and sputter on the mixed taste of motor oil and his own blood.

“MAKE SURE TO CHEW THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU SWALLOW.”

Two more hands stretched out and gripped his skull and lower jaw, and forced him to chew hard on the various metal bits in his mouth. It was more difficult with less teeth, and he began to lose those pretty quickly. A couple of times he got shocked by cracking open a battery.

“NOW SWALLOW.”

When the demonic creature offered another spoonful, autolycus had no choice but to swallow the first. So it continued until autolycus had finished the whole bowl. Then the creature tilted the bowl up and made him slurp down the rest of the motor oil. autolycus had passed out from the pain and toxins in his body long before then. When the hands released him, he dropped to the floor like a corpse. Grinning his metallic grin, the creature got up to leave the room.

“AH. NOTHING LIKE A MIDNIGHT SNACK.”

---

Like autolycus, Askthepizzaguy rarely slept, though for entirely different reasons.

Perpetually sleep-deprived, Askthepizzaguy spent his every waking hour down in the Space Gameroom in a zombie-like trance, either playing games or designing new ones of his own. He was constantly designing new games – games of all genres. He loved games. Some of his crewmates might have said that pizza was his thing, but they would be wrong. Games were his thing. Games were all of his things, ever.

But there was one game that Askthepizzaguy was particularly enamored with, and it was called Space Mafia. He had found an archive of it in an old, decrepit computer in a fallen building on the ruined world Zepchakis-Lefferon. To this day, he still had no idea what the “Mafia” part really meant, but he assumed it had something to do with a bunch of guys running around at night in silly hats and shooting people with their Laser Tommyguns. For some reason, the rest of the players of Space Mafia always wanted to kill these guys, and he had assumed it was because they kept shooting them with their Laser Tommyguns. This, Askthepizzaguy felt, was a reasonable assumption.

At the moment, Askthepizzaguy was reading a particularly engaging account of Space Mafia that boasted of Pirates, Ninjas, Robots, and Zombies, whatever those were. What intrigued him was that this account, at a glance, seemed remarkably similar to the situation that the crew of the Galactic Chutzpah was in at the moment. At his current point in the log, the crew members were about to name the spaceship they were on. Askthepizzaguy couldn’t wait to see what they would call it.

Which is why he was pretty annoyed when he heard some scratching and a groaning sound at the door to the Space Gameroom. Someone had probably forgotten to let the Space Dog out again before going to sleep. And when they did, it always fell upon Askthepizzaguy to let old Sparkplug out to do his space business.

When Askthpizzaguy opened the door, however, it was not a whining metal dog waiting for him, but a shambling, rotting Space Cadet. Askthepizzaguy was about to tell him he should probably get that checked out when his crewmate lurched forward and bit down into his shoulder, tearing off a huge chunk of flesh as he lifted his head back up.

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHH! I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, oh for Pete’s sake just LOOK at all this blood! Hey, wait a minute… this reminds of a game I hosted that one time…”

But there was no time to stop and think about it, because the rotting Cadet was reeling up for another bite. Askthepizzaguy hopped away just in time, and the creature tripped and fell forward onto the floor. Then, clutching at his shoulder, Askthepizzaguy had another, even more potent thought.

“I have to see...”

He muttered under his breath as he went back over to the console he had been sitting at. Looking at the log, he scrolled all the way down to the first sleep cycle of the game, noting with a little bit of giddy excitement the GIANT SPACE WHALE attack at the end of the ship-painting. Then, after a second or two, he found it. He found the place in the script where it says “Then, after a second or two, he found it.” And scrolling further downward, he SQUEEE’d with delight at what was to happen next.

“It’s happening, it’s happening! I can’t believe it! It predicts the FUTURE! The SPACE FUTURE!”

And Askthepizzaguy was so enraptured with the log of Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie Mafia in SPACE that he completely forgot about the creature crawling across the floor to him, which he now recognized clearly as the Zombie. Even as the Zombie began tearing at his legs his eyes remained glued to the screen.

It was just so awesome he couldn’t look away from it. But it wasn’t his own death scene he was reading.

It was the scene directly afterwards.

---

The Zombie grabbed the table to steady himself after his meal. Askthepizzaguy had truly been a choice piece of meat, and he was glad that he had chosen him tonight. Sucking his brains out with a straw had been just the dessert he needed to wash it all down, and the man had not been lacking in the brains department. Next time, he decided to pour the brains over ice first. That would give new meaning to the word “brain-freeze”.

As the Zombie got ready to make the long, shambling walk back to his quarters, however, he noticed a dark figure standing in the doorway.

How had he not heard this one coming? Sure, his hearing ability had not exactly improved since his ear drums started rotting, but he still should have been able to hear anyone approaching on these hard metal decks.

Before he could move, the dark figure drew a long, thin blade. It shined in the darkness and reflected light off of the intruder’s eyes, the only part of his body that was visible. Then the figure spoke.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Memnon.”

ZOMBIE VS NINJA!!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byRs4vZdjgQ)

The Ninja continued to taunt his adversary.

“This is quite a feast you’ve had here… I’m kind of insulted you didn’t invite me.”

Then the Ninja lunged forward and sliced Memnon’s left arm clean off his festering body. The severed limb fell to the ground with a grotesque squelch.

“You might even say… I’m on the verge of flipping out.”

And suddenly, the rage contained within the Ninja was too much for him to withhold, and he really did start to flip. With a blood-curdling war cry, he flung the katana straight into the Zombie’s gut, where it stuck. Then he pulled out a pair of nunchucks and started flailing them around wildly in all directions, screaming the whole time.

Luckily for the Zombie, the wooden nunchucks were nowhere near as deadly to him as the katana had been. Sharp things could slice off body parts, as he had just recently experienced. Blunt trauma was much easier for him to endure. The Zombie shambled steadily forward through the barrage of blows, pushing the Ninja onto the defensive. Sharp Zombie claws raked at the Ninja’s body, which managed to tear his clothing but not to significantly harm him. All the same, the Ninja began to flip out even more at the defacement of his awesome stealth gear.

The Ninja was flipping out so badly that he grabbed the Zombie’s arm and just tore it straight out of its socket. Then he tried to beat the Zombie with his own arm. What he didn’t expect was for the arm to fight back. It reached over and grasped him by the neck, holding him in place. The owner of the arm cackled a gurgling death rattle as he stumbled ever forward. His other arm had crawled its way over to the Ninja’s feet, tangling him up down there as well. Just a few more seconds and Memnon would be close enough to take a bite… then his enemy would be finished, whether he killed the Zombie first or not.

But Ninjas, of course, are blindingly fast, even when they are flipping out. With his free hand, the Ninja grasped his katana, still lodged in the Zombie’s stomach, and wrenched it upward with all of his might, slicing Memnon’s chest and face clean in two. With its brain and nervous system destroyed, all the Zombie body parts fell to the ground, limp.

The Ninja then proceeded to break every computer in the Space Gameroom, rendering it unusable for the near future. By then, he had calmed down somewhat, so he left.

---

YES, STILL DAY 1
[WAKE CYCLE 2]

When the Space Cadets all woke up and gathered again in the Meeting and Bingo Room, a role call revealed they were three less than they were 48 hours previous. A search of the ship turned up three bodies, one of them already rotting. The Captain was not pleased.

“This is unacceptable behavior from one of our Space Cadets, and it cannot be allowed to continue. You must find the culprit who did this. It pains me to say it, but I will have to place the guilty Cadet in Space Jail.”

The Cadets all gasped in unison. Not Space Jail! There was no describing the sorts of horrors that went on in that place. Nobody wanted to go to Space Jail. But they agreed that, as far as this on-board life-borrower was concerned, better him in Space Jail than the rest of them dead. Especially if he was borrowing their lives without permission, and wasn’t planning to return them. That would be almost like stealing.

“So get voting on that. Oh, and I almost forgot. Our original course was slated for the nearby Asteroid Belt, but it’s said that GIANT SPACE WHALES have tubs full of Uranium in the caves back on their home planets big enough for them to bathe in.

I explained why I voted in the previous day. My vote was late, was jokingly and had absolutely no bearing on what was going to happen. It does not demonstrate or prove in any way that I am mafioso, quite the contrary. As such, I want you to explain why I decided to vote for ATPG so late in the day when the votes had been decided to Zaccivo. I also want you to explain why people were voting for themselves as well then.

Besides the fact that the town's only weapon (besides the few power roles we have)

What? I'm afraid your logic is the one that isn't make sense here. To give you the example of Rubicon where I won for the town (A game where even most power roles were not exclusively town related!), the very best thing the town did in the whole game was not starting to lynch in the first rounds and allowing power roles to start gathering information so that the lynchs could be better used later on in the game. In the beginning of the game, it is merely a Russian roulette, where you're far more likely to hit a townie than a mafioso. It only becomes the town's weapon if we have information on who to hit with it and why.

What you're wanting to do is lynching at random, and reducing the number of people that the mafia has to kill. I, on the other hand, prefer to keep everyone alive so that there's more townies left for the end game. You do not want that.

And where did you read the amount of power roles we have in the game?

Your voting doesn't make sense and it seems scummy to you, and your thinly-veiled OMGUS is a lame attempt to lynch someone who suspects you. Time to go to space jail.

You saying my voting doesn't make sense, doesn't make it so. Your logic for my lynching, however, makes no sense. You are trying to poke holes in my logic, which simply isn't working. And the fact that you are very clearly endorsing the random killing of townies shows why I am voting for you.

Incorrect. A lynch is more likely to kill a townie, true, but in a standard game it is infinitly more likely to kill mafia than a mafia night kill, and a greater lynch to night kill ratio is therefore more likely to create a town victory. Also the threat of lynching is a great way to trigger sometimes incriminating reactions from players and creates a voting record which is useful in the later rounds.

Your alternative, relying on power roles to find information for us, is dangerous as it relies on the existence of investigative power roles and on them not being killed by scum.

Of course this game will be a little different. I believe we have 4 different mafia teams (if this is true at least one of the teams must have night actions other than killing, or we would expect more night kills?), which can each kill each other. However because none of these teams is going to kill themselves our lynches are still more likely to bag us a scum than abstaining.

And where did you read the amount of power roles we have in the game?

I think he assumed we have a few power roles because town normally has a few power roles.

To me this doesn't seem like an attempt to misguide the town and is instead just a case of genuine lack of knowledge, but I don't like that self vote and I don't see a better option.

You and I have different perspectives on lynching it seems. What happens if the mafia kills off the power roles early? What then?

In the off chance that Mafia gets uber lucky and manages to kill off every single important power roll, then the town hopefully still has enough people to attrition kill the mafia. Mind you, that's only on the best possible night actions that the Mafia can do. On a normal game, then the Mafia will be more likely to spend their first rounds either investigating if they can or killing randomly. If there's more than one Mafia, then the town odds improve since there's the chance that the mafias kill each other (As was in Rubicon, for example). In this game, we apparently have 4 different mafia groups (Composed of 1 person, I guess, which means 1 is already dead killed by another mafia). And the fact that you are voting for me based on no evidence whatsoever, only leads credence that you are indeed randomly lynching.

However, you're selfvoting when so little time in the phase has passed and you are only ahead my two votes over te nearest target? Why?

Because I'm sick of getting lynched for no reason, as I'll show here:

Incorrect. A lynch is more likely to kill a townie, true, but in a standard game it is infinitly more likely to kill mafia than a mafia night kill, and a greater lynch to night kill ratio is therefore more likely to create a town victory.

Of course this game will be a little different. I believe we have 4 different mafia teams.

So here we have a player with a theory that was so far disproven by the game (A Ninja killed a Zombie) and admitted himself that his own theory isn't that correct (As this is not a standard game). Nevertheless, he still votes for me.

This is what I'm talking about getting sick of being lynched for no reason.

I got my own points across. Lynching in the beginning at random (For me) is silly. I already 4 votes based on me actually not wanting to lynch randomly (2 of them without any reason at all, but I am past caring).

I'm already tired of defending myself when there's nothing to defend. Came back to try and have fun in this game and I'm already sick of it.

I didn't admit my argument was flawed... I said that our lynches in this game are still more likely to kill scum than the scum is likely to kill each other, even if this game has multiple scum teams.

Which is utterly and patently wrong. In this Mafia game, provided there are only 4 mafioso and all of them are enemies of each other, the town only has a very slight increased chance at lynching one mafioso than there is of a mafioso hitting another mafioso. All the while the most likely probability is that your going to be lynching a townie and helping the Mafioso all along.

And you didn't say "more likely" you said "infinitely more likely", as if mafioso had close to 0% of hitting another mafioso (Which this game has already disproved) and/or that the town had close to 100% of lynching a mafioso (Which the game has also disproved)

I'm not certain there are only 4 mafioso. That seems like too few for this many players, especially if they are all divided into rival teams. And yes we are only marginally more likely to kill scum than the scum are themselves, but it is still better for us if a higher proportion of the kills in this game are town lynches. Remember that we need voting records and we need to put pressure on players to help us discover scum. Leaving it all down to our power roles is just too dangerous.

And you didn't say "more likely" you said "infinitely more likely", as if mafioso had close to 0% of hitting another mafioso (Which this game has already disproved) and/or that the town had close to 100% of lynching a mafioso (Which the game has also disproved)
I'm going to bed. Have fun.

I did say that, in the section of my post pertaining to standard mafia games with a single mafia team. In games with a single mafia team I have not seen mafia ever kill themselves(except where they got some kind of bonus for doing so). Conversly, I have seen mafia killed by lynches frequently, and most of those times those lynches involved either dumb luck, looking at the voting record or analysing how a player is reacting to a situation.

Also, Chaotix extended the round, citing lack of Night orders, which indicates there are more than four people sending in orders.

There's always the possibility that the mafia are split up at the beginning and have to find each other.

EDIT: Also, two teams of two doesn't seem very balanced. The two scum teams will kill each other if they're both that small.

STILL DAY 1
[WAKE CYCLE 2]

When the Space Cadets reconvened at the end of the cycle, the Captain took a look at the tallied votes.

For one thing, he was quite pleased that the Cadets had chosen to follow the Space Whale rather than head into that boring old Asteroid Belt. It wasn’t like the Belt was known to contain the ruins of some ancient spacefaring civilization with all sorts of crazy space technology or something like that.

Besides, this was Uranium they were talking about. Enough Uranium for a GIANT SPACE WHALE to take a bath in it! A prize that great had to be worth all the potential danger involved – such as the rumors of the extremely harsh climates of the planets that the GIANT SPACE WHALES lived on, or the fact that it might not take kindly to a spaceship less than a tenth of its size trying to steal all that Uranium.

The Captain didn’t want to think about that. Pleased with the results, he went back to the bridge and set his thermal trackers to the GIANT SPACE WHALE’s heat signature and directed the Galactic Chutzpah to begin following in its wake.

Then he remembered there was that other vote he had to check.

The Captain was less pleased with this vote. There was a clear majority, but it certainly wasn’t without opposition… he had expected his best and brightest to find the culprit almost immediately. He had a couple of Cadets checking out the ruined Space Gameroom below decks for clues, but there was nothing besides the bodies. Even the computers had been busted beyond all repair. Well, it’s not like the computers could have helped them catch the culprit or anything like that. They certainly wouldn’t have shown this very scene about to unfold and whether or not their chosen suspect was guilty or innocent.

Well, he had to make do with what he was given.

“Space Cadet Jolt! You have been found guilty of Space Treason through a vote by your peers. You have been sentenced to life imprisonment in Space Jail. How do you plead?”

Jolt was pretty annoyed at this turn of events, to put it mildly.

“What do you mean, how do I plead, doofus? You already sentenced me! If you wanted to hear how I would plead, you should have asked me before you convicted me!”

“Oh. Well, then, I take it back for the moment. How do you plead?”

“No, it doesn’t work that way, either. In order to overturn your verdict, you first have to have to appeal your decision. Then you have to hold a hearing for your appeal. Don’t you know anything about Space Maritime Law? How did you get to be Captain, anyway?”

The Captain was getting pretty embarrassed right now. It was not a usual occurrence for him to get one-upped by his own crewmates. No, not at all. Especially not the ones he was trying to sentence to Space Jail.

“Look, can we just pretend I haven’t found you guilty of anything yet? I really just want to hear how you plead.”

“Nope. I refuse to plead at all.”

“That’s just really not cool. I had this all worked out in my head how this trial was going to go down, and now you’re just ruining it.”

“Well, if you want to hear someone plead so badly, why don’t you plead instead?”

The Captain chuckled just at the thought of that. He decided to humor the little man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8KqVQTpiyg).

“Plead what?”

“FOR YOUR LIFE.”

“What.”

This was cause for a little bit of alarm. As snarky as Jolt had been to him, that last bit was really out of character for him. And the Captain kept getting this strange feeling that his speech had suddenly changed from blue to red, and – wait, what? That last sentence made no sense at all. Speech doesn’t have color, that’s just silly.

Nonetheless, the Captain decided to take a bit of a closer look at Jolt. His skin was kind of rotting off of his face, and generally all over his body, but there were lots of exposed places that were just made of metal instead. And it was all remarkable that he could discern this, because over his body and Space Cadet uniform, Jolt looked to be wearing a black bed-sheet wrapped all the way around his body and face a few times, so that he could barely see out of the eye slits.

And it was the strangest thing, one of his eyes was all glowing and metallic, and the other one was an eyepatch. Wait. AN EYEPATCH??

How had he not noticed it before? Underneath his mechanical left thigh was a sinister peg leg, and on his rotting right arm was a hook! And worst of all, on top of his head… a feathered hat with a skull and crossbones on its front.

“You… You’re a PIRATE!”

The Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie seemed amused.

“WELL… YOU ARE ONLY THREE QUARTERS WRONG.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you only three-quarters of a Pirate or something? I mean, you’re missing an eye, and a leg, and a hand… hey, yeah, that’s about a quarter of your body, right? HA! I have solved your riddle, scum of the seas!”

“ENOUGH TALK. NOW WE FIGHT. OR TO BE MORE PRECISE, I FLIP OUT AND HAVE A 99.9% CHANCE OF KILLING YOU WHILE YOU RUN AROUND SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. THEN I WILL HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS BOOTY. AND YOUR BRAINS.”

The Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie drew the broadsword hanging at his hip with his left hand, and held up the hook that replaced his right menacingly. Then two more robotic arms sprouted from his body, one holding a katana and the other a massive laser cannon. It all looked like quite a threatening ensemble, compared to the pea shooter the Captain wore at his hip.

Within seconds, the Meeting and Bingo Hall was in pandemonium as the Captain and the Space Cadets ran around screaming. And it seemed that the Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie’s mathematical calculations had been correct.

Then a vent opened up in the floor and a few tubes poked out of it, each with what looked like a spray nozzle at the end. Before Jolt could so much as “Yarr!” in surprise, jets of supercooled liquid nitrogen blasted him in the face, and he was cryogenically frozen solid on the spot.

“Time to go to Space Jail.”

With the threat neutralized, the Captain quickly tried to call his Cadets to order and salvage some semblance of his dignity. This wasn’t the first time the Galactic Chutzpah’s autopilot AI had saved his career, but he wasn’t about to let his crew know that.

“Err… excellent work, everyone. It all went exactly according to my plan. Now, uhh, I just need two of you to help me escort the big guy down to Space Jail. It’s time this Pirate was locked up behind some good old fashioned laser bars.”

Note: This write-up has been truncated for your own safety. Space Jail is so horrible and terrible that even if it was described here, your mind would immediately block it out to prevent severe neurological trauma. In fact, for all you know it is being described here but your feeble mind is only capable of reading these safer sentences instead. Move along now.

IT’S NOT GOING TO STOP BEING DAY 1
[SLEEP CYCLE 2]

The capture of the Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie had left most of the crew of the Galactic Chutzpah in high spirits. Sure, the whole part where they all almost died was a little bit nerve-wracking, but after that was over and the Space Cadets had finished running around and screaming, they felt they were in a pretty good position. Surely the presence of that creature explained all the killings going on. Surely it would be smooth sailing from here to the Planet of the GIANT SPACE WHALES.

DaveShack, for one, was sleeping quite peacefully. He had no sort of preoccupation or disorder whatsoever that prevented him from sleeping and put him in a vulnerable position out in the middle of a dark ship with no one else around. In fact, being only a Space Cadet, he shared a room with three other crew members, so if anything, he was safer even while sleeping.

That sleep cycle, he had been having a particularly vivid dream. There were a bunch of dinosaurs and sharks, and they all had laser guns, and they were having an awesome battle in the middle of space. It was typical for DaveShack to have dreams that took place in space. Space was his favorite thing in the whole universe, and it was a good thing, too, because the universe was mostly made up of space. So whenever space turned up in one of his dreams, he made special note of it that it might be important to him, so he should remember that. DaveShack didn’t really know what to make of laser-wielding dinosaurs and sharks, though.

And that was the last dream-thought that DaveShack ever had. A poison dart in his neck stopped his heart, and he died painlessly in his sleep. The dark figure vanished from the room as silently as it had entered, waking none of the other crew members.

The Ninja silently congratulated himself on a job well done. He hadn’t flipped out or anything this time. Then he realized that he had no reason for leaving the other three crew members in that room alive, and he could have taken them out just as easily. The Ninja sighed. It seemed there would be much flipping out to do after all, once he got back to the privacy of his own quarters.

---

The Robot activated his cloaking device, so as to roam the halls of the Galactic Chutzpah unseen. This actually didn’t help to hide him at all, because every step he took still made a heavy clanking sound on the metal floor. However, he knew that the Space Cadets on this ship were none too bright, so he wasn’t that worried. They didn’t even know multivariable calculus, based on his conversations with them. How could they possibly find him out?

The Robot stopped outside his destination door. A small crew room, designed to hold four Space Cadets. He could kill all four of them quite easily, but he was sure to make a racket in doing so. More likely than not, one would be able to sound an alarm before a guided missile was able to give him a dramatic face lift.

So the Robot had to use cunning for this one. Cunning capable of only an artificial intelligence.

He knocked on the door. A loud metal clanging rang throughout the hall, and as the Robot assumed, the room within, rousing all the crew members inside from their slumber. Using his acute auditory sensors, he heard the four of them arguing from within about which one of them should answer the door. Finally, it seemed one of them had lost the argument, and grumpily trudged over to the door and opened it.

This unlucky individual happened to be Arjos. Since the Robot’s cloaking device was still activated, Arjos saw nothing but an empty hallway when he looked out. He stood there groggily wiping the sleep from his eyes for a second or two, and was about to turn around and close the door.

Then a guided missile appeared out of nowhere and exploded in his face.

The Robot managed to escape before the other crew members had even discerned what had happened

---

Seon was not sleeping like the rest of the crew. If there were Ninjas around, he had best be on guard.

The way he saw it, he could defend himself better awake than he could asleep. And more than that, he could defend himself better drunk than sober.

Wait… that can’t be right. No, it was the other way around. He definitely was able to defend himself better sober than drunk. Well, too late now. That ship had sailed. If only he had remembered that vital bit of information before he headed down to the empty Space Bar for a bottle of his favorite Nebulon-Three Blue Sake.

Seon spun around on his stool when he heard the door to the bar open. From the looks of it, there was nothing the bar could help this newcomer with, at least not until he took a nap and was able to walk without stumbling. He had a rather funny looking hat and was carrying an empty bottle. Rum, from the looks of it. The man took one look at Seon and then gestured to a colorful bird perched on his shoulder.

“Yaharrr! Why look at this, Polly, it seems we have a new drinking companion!”

Then he hurled the empty bottle at Seon’s face. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeK1vuKQat4)

SAMURAI VS PIRATE!!!

Seon ducked and the bottle narrowly missed him, sailing over his head to smash against the wall behind the bar. He stumbled as he got to his feet, but was immensely relieved to find he had remembered to bring his sword with him.

“Oho! Be careful with that thing there, wouldn’t want to poke your eye out. Then you’d look like me! Har har harrrr!”

Seon bristled under the slight to his skill. He was drunk, and he would brook no insult with this laughing fool.

“You dare insult my honor?”

“Wh-”

“HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

Before the Pirate could reply, Seon loosed a blood-curdling war-cry and charged straight for him. In response, the Pirate clumsily swung up his broadsword to block the attack. Luckily for him, Seon’s stroke was just as clumsy and bounced off the blade, throwing the Samurai off-balance.

The Pirate pressed the attack, swinging his blade in wide, sloppy arcs. Ordinarily, they would be easy for Seon to avoid, but in the state he was in it took all of his effort to block or dodge out of the way in time. After a few strokes the Samurai managed to throw up a parry that left the Pirate open, and thrust forward in an attack that only narrowly missed because he was feeling a bit dizzy.

Then the Pirate pulled out his Space Musket with his left hand, still holding the sword in the right. He had sawed off the barrel so that he could aim and fire it with only a single hand. Luckily for Seon, Space Muskets were as notoriously inaccurate as the two of them were drunk. They fired circular energy balls that bounced around in the barrel before they left, often causing the shots to veer off course. And the fact that the Pirate was drunk was like to make it even more inaccurate.

And inaccurate he was. Seon was easily able to anticipate each shot and duck or move out of the way before it hit him, if it was even on track to hit him at all. The problem was that he couldn’t very well walk up and stab the guy while he was getting shot at.

So Seon came up with the best plan that he could in the state that he was in. He charged straight forward again. A Space Musketball grazed past his shoulder as he lunged, causing him to wince, but he kept moving. He sliced in an upward arc, removing the Pirate’s left hand at the wrist.

The Pirate stared at his new bloody stump in disbelief.

“Yarr! Ye cut off me hand!”

“That I did. Now surrender.”

The Samurai had his blade at the Pirate’s neck. Then he felt a stabbing pain in his gut and saw the broadsword protruding from his stomach. In the confusion and adrenaline, he had only noticed the fatal blow now, when it was too late.

“I don’t think so, matey.”

Seon dropped his katana and clutched at his stomach. When the Pirate unsheathed his sword from his abdomen, he dropped to his knees, the strength ebbing out of him with his life.

“That was a mighty fine battle ye gave me, matey. I have no doubt we shall walk the plank in the afterlife together, as brothers in arms. What do ye think, Polly?”

The parrot squawked a reply. He would have to teach it to talk at some point; that would make the write-ups much more interesting. With Seon dead on the floor, he left the bar, considerably sobered by the confrontation.

---

STILL DAY 1
[WAKE CYCLE 3]

The next wake cy-

B-BOOOOOOOOM!!!

SPLOOOOSH!!

CRACKLE FRACKLE CRACKLE BLURBLE GLURBLE BLURBLE…

The next wake cycle, the crew of the Galactic Chutzpah found themselves stranded on an unknown planet, at the bottom of one of its oceans. This was deemed by most to be a non-ideal state of order, so they went to the Meeting and Bingo Room for guidance from their Captain.

“Listen up, Cadets! Apparently, last sleep cycle, the Galactic Chutzpah’s main engine exploded. We are still determining what caused the explosion, but we did find the remains of a dead Space Cadet in the engine room. Unfortunately, he was so disfigured by the blast that we cannot determine his identity. In addition, three other Space Cadets were found dead, of unrelated causes.”

“You may have noticed there is some flooding in the ship. Luckily, our increasingly useful on-ship AI succeeded in closing down bulkheads to stop the flooding, so the rest of the ship will stay dry so long as the hull doesn’t sustain any more damage. Also, if you see any water, report it to me and DON’T drink it. It’s not water, it’s liquid ammonia. That’s very bad for you.”

“Hey, why is the ship flooding anyway?”

“I’m glad you asked. As it happens, we have crash landed on the as-yet uncharted planet of the GIANT SPACE WHALES. And if we’re going to acquire their tubs of Uranium or just get moving in general, we’re going to need to fix that engine. I’ve got two different plans for this ready to set in motion. First, I suggest we scout for raw materials or resources. We can either send a shuttle to the surface, or search the seafloor. I’ll leave that to a vote.”

The Space Cadets, not too psyched about venturing into oceans of liquid ammonia where beasts as large as GIANT SPACE WHALEs could lurk, eagerly awaited the second plan.

“Second, I’m going to need a volunteer for this one. The autopilot has suggested we prevent the engine from ever exploding in the first place. To do that, we’ll need be needing the Time Machine.”

Listen up, folks! In order to allow you sufficient time to brainstorm and figure out how to proceed in this situation, we're going to have an extra-long wake cycle. Oh, don't look at me like that, we all know none of you are really sleeping during the sleep cycles anyway.
