The Rumble 2013 [CONCLUDED]

[LazyMcCrow]

vote: jht When the sun comes up?

[Zack]

Bah. This is confusing. I'm not quite sure why we need an entire 48 hours for a phase where nothing happens.

[johnhughthom]

So you forget I'm scum.

[Zack]

I don't do anything during the Night phase, and the r/p/s phase is just a simple one-word PM. 3/4 of this game is spent sitting and twiddling my thumbs.

[Makrell]

killing edse could just be aplay by the mafia to frame jht, even though lazy said so and it is obvious indeed.

[johnhughthom]

I don't do anything during the Night phase, and the r/p/s phase is just a simple one-word PM. 3/4 of this game is spent sitting and twiddling my thumbs.

Exactly, the scum team has the ability to shorten each phase, but we are dragging them out as you have us all pegged. We are very confident that this will be succesful, and we will win through townie broken thumbs.

[El Barto]

vote: jht
Hold your horses!

I don't do anything during the Night phase, and the r/p/s phase is just a simple one-word PM. 3/4 of this game is spent sitting and twiddling my thumbs.
We can always engage in discussion in the meantime, but you can sue the spare time to play GM your game and play the other games you've signed up for.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I can always shorten the phase as soon as the votes are PM'ed.

Come on dead people. Do your thing. *poke*

[Double A]

Just occurred to me that I haven't checked this in awhile, and I actually have a good excuse this time.

See, on Saturday, I went swimming, and like a dumbass, I didn't bring any waterproof sunscreen, so made do with my friend's regular spf 30. To spare you all a bunch of gruesome details, sunburn blisters and bacne get exponentially worse together and my back is probably infected with bacteria. I spent about 4 hours of my Monday night in the worst and sharpest pain I've ever been in, but I'm better now. Mostly.

If I'm not dead, I need a replacement.

[Makrell]

dont yoy ussually just recover from these situations, i might bew off but something strikes me as scummy from that post.

vote: El Barto and Yay!


Vote:classical_hero

for daring to post above me. :stare:


He probably tried to post the update when the forum was down earlier.


Take your time, knees are fragile things.


Vote: Ishmael

Maybe it was reverse psychology?


This is the entirety of Ferret's posts for this game, from start to finish. Look at them. It won't take you long.

What do you notice? He pops in each day with a quick vote with zero rationalization behind it. If you're lucky, he'll pop in a second time with a quick one-liner joke, just to make sure he's perceived as still active.
If he's Town, he's doing a piss poor job of scum hunting.
But if he's scum, he's doing an excellent job of staying under the radar. Until now.

Vote: Ferret

[LazyMcCrow]

You don't mess about do you? :D - but it's not day yet, so no need to add the vote to your attack yet :)

[johnhughthom]

If he's Town, he's doing a piss poor job of scum hunting.

To be fair, that's the default townie position of a lot of players.

[EnderBoy]

You don't mess about do you? :D - but it's not day yet, so no need to add the vote to your attack yet :)

Wait what? I'm so confused. This is dawn right? That's where we vote isn't it? I saw another vote above for jht.

[Ferret]

Actually you missed one of my posts...

There have been two day phases, it is impossible to do any meaningful scum hunting this early in the game. Besides, as jht pointed out, no one has done any better.

[Darth Feather]

Wait what? I'm so confused. This is dawn right? That's where we vote isn't it? I saw another vote above for jht.

To host-quote:


Reminder: The dead have a vote which they must PM me. Don't forget to vote, dead people.

:bow:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm trying to think of a way to combine phases, but having the dead vote while the lynch phase is happening would allow them to give out blessings with knowledge of who might die, and that's not fair. Doing it during the murder phase won't work either, for similar reasons.

It might be possible to do this during the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock phase, and shorten every day down to three phases- but I am worried that it will confuse players in an already unfamiliar game setup. It would radically alter the sequence of events.

This game is a mad science experiment and I'd determined to let it live or fail on its own merits.

[Makrell]

cant you add an activity in the dawn phase? maybe making townies voting for a player which should receve a double vote or similar.

[johnhughthom]

Or who should receive a paddlin'.

[Askthepizzaguy]

cant you add an activity in the dawn phase? maybe making townies voting for a player which should receive a double vote or similar.

It's a decent idea. Or perhaps a mini-game of some kind. Trouble is I'd have to worry about game balance and/or making things more complicated.


The paddlin' idea. Now that sounds like fun. Any volunteers?

[EnderBoy]

Not me. I was already paddled by Grover Cleveland on two non-consecutive occasions.

DAWN of the THIRD DAY



The sun began to rise over the town of Gameroom.

Once again, the sun seemed to be shining particularly brightly for just one citizen of the town.

Perhaps something miraculous would save him or her from almost certain death?

Hopefully, the townfolk would be able to find the ones behind my murder today.

The Gunslinger rode to the center of town, and fired Delilah at the bell tower. The noise woke everyone up.

"Rise and shine! I feel like shootin' werebeast today!"

Who would be forced to face the Gunslinger? Let's find out....

BEGIN MORNING PHASE OF THE THIRD DAY

MORNING PHASE ENDS AT HIGH NOON [3:00 AM Saturday the 15th of June, EDT].

[Askthepizzaguy]

NOW you may lynch someone. :cowboy:

[Darth Feather]

I am Not going to vote jht, because he will probably be lynched regardless of wether I vote for him or not.

So Vote: LazyMcCrow. Not much info but an easy bandwagon-vote yesterday, without giving his own argument. I guess I have just a bad feeling about him. If jht turns out to be scum however, Lazy is probably innocent.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Vote: jht

I am unconvinced by your denials - if anything they made me think that you are more guilty. I deem it likely that Visorslash/Abstain made a simple mistake, that of assuming he would be lynched and trying to avoid lynching an ally. Since the logical thing to do would be to save himself this, unsurprisingly, has led to scrutiny. I think it is likely that you are guilty, I do not view anyone else as more suspicious at this stage, and quite frankly, your continued survival, even in the unlikely event of your innocence, will distract the town as a group from actively seeking out the mafiosi.

If it is indeed the latter case then I am sorry that I seem so obstinate, but this honestly strikes me as the correct lynch for the town today...

[johnhughthom]

Meh, the continued survival of someone with so much focus on them is something I've often preached against, whether they flip townie or scum it is often best to get rid of them and allow the town to focus without the big distraction. BUT, I also think townie self votes are a crime against mafia and refuse to do so. I will not be voting this round, feel free to lynch me and allow the game to move past the silly case on me.

[Makrell]

does the myghty jht have any other suspects?

vote: jht

[LazyMcCrow]

So you forget I'm scum.


Exactly, the scum team has the ability to shorten each phase, but we are dragging them out as you have us all pegged. We are very confident that this will be succesful, and we will win through townie broken thumbs.

Since you had the finger pointed at you and narrowly missed being lynched, you've done nothing that makes me want to vote anyone else. vote: jht

Yeah, we have to lynch him now really. It's like he's the new ATPG.

Vote: EnderBoy

[El Barto]

I think that LazyMcCrow should answer a certain accusation against him, otherwise this will be 'lynch jht day' all over again, with little to no discussion.

[johnhughthom]

does the myghty jht have any other suspects?

:inquisitive:

[Makrell]

:inquisitive:

if you are town, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

if you are mafia, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

[Ishmael]

vote: jht for today, as I can't really see the vote going any other way, and I can feel helpful if he is in fact scum. Tomorrow I might see if I can pull one of my trademark hilariously inaccurate analyses of somebody's posts, but at the moment I don't feel there's really enough to go off. I do like the fact that EnderBoy is actually scumhunting, but unfortunately his reasoning incriminates about 90% of the town at this point (including myself), so I'm not willing to act on it just yet.

[LazyMcCrow]

I think that LazyMcCrow should answer a certain accusation against him, otherwise this will be 'lynch jht day' all over again, with little to no discussion.
What accusation? If you mean the Darth Feather vote against me, I just re-read that and it didn't sound much like an accusation. For the record, I have absolutely no problem with the 'little to no discussion' regarding a jht lynch. jht has offered his defence: He is basically saying 'I'm townie but you may as well lynch me in order to move on'. This has done nothing to persuade me that he isn't scum. It just feels like the last gasp of a mafia who knows he's caught and doesn't care too much about it.

[johnhughthom]

if you are town, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

if you are mafia, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

Indeed, I was more curious with regards the 'myghty' part.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Seems the round has ended, with johnhughthom as the clear lynch favorite.

I need a little time for sleep before posting anything, please proceed with sending in your Rock paper scissors etc Orders.

Writeup will be posted as soon as I can get to it. Although you might want to keep your eye out for it. It's going to be a big surprise for someone.

[El Barto]

Well, we'll keep an eye out, surely, but it's-a bedtime for some of us.

I've changed my name back! :beam:

[johnhughthom]

You are going on my ignore list, unless you change that sacrilegious avatar, El Takewer.

HIGH NOON of the THIRD DAY




johnhughthom knew his goose was cooked well before the day even began. It was only a matter of time now.

The Gameroom townsfolk seemed to have an ironclad case to be made against him, relating to the behavior of the known Were-beast. It looked as though the Were-beast would have preferred to live, but didn't want to make johnhughthom die.

Were-beasts were not known for their compassion. It was either a desperate attempt to keep his partner alive, or.... an attempt at deception.

The townsfolk weighed the options. It seemed so obvious that john was guilty. Why would the Werebeast want to die, to keep john alive, unless they were both were-beasts?

But wait... if they were both were-beasts, would it matter which one of them died?

Maybe it would matter. Perhaps one were-beast was more valuable than the other.

But wait... wouldn't the Godfather be the more valuable were-beast? Nobody would have suspected that The Baby Did It. And yet, he was the one who was slain.

It made no sense. But the townsfolk were not wavering... they still concluded that johnhughthom was guilty of something. Apathy, perhaps. He stood there watching them vote him to death with the kind of disinterest you will only find in johnhughthom. Or perhaps a Csargo. Maybe even an issaikhaan. But really, nobody evoked pure apathy in the face of certain doom like johnhughthom.

He looked the Grim Reaper straight in the eye, and began to yawn. He was not afraid of death. And when his name was called, he began to mosey on down to the center of town, to face his fate.


"johnhughthom. You have been found guilty by a jury of your peers..." began the Gunslinger.

"Hardly. I have no peers." snarked john.

"Of the incomprehensible and reprehensible crime of slaying an unarmed, albeit talkative pizzaguy. And of being a rather large nasty beast with big sharp pointy teeth." said the Gunslinger.

"Look at my teeth. I realize I could use a trip to the dentist, but they're not big and sharp, now are they?"

"It doesn't matter what size your teeth are right now! There's too much sunlight. When the sun sets, you'll transform into a hideous man-beast!"
said the Gunslinger.

"Why don't we delay my execution until after the sun sets then? Wouldn't that be.... I dunno.... logical?"

"Logic has no meaning here. This is the Gameroom. The rule of law is that whatever my gut says is true, is true. And if I saw you eating a spicy meat-a-ball, you must die. That is the way of things. It has always been this way, and it will always be this way" said the Gunslinger.

"Fine with me. Let's get this farce over with." said johnhughthom.

The Gunslinger tossed john one of his silver revolvers, keeping Delilah for himself.

"Thirty paces."

The two men began at the corner of main street and market street, and began walking in opposite directions. The assembled townsfolk took cover, but made sure they had a good view of the action.





<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h_zeiKrRTuk?feature=player_detailpage" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="640"></iframe>




One of the Gameroomers was good enough to bring along some music and play it in their car stereo with the doors wide open.

You know, like those really obnoxious people who drive to the convenience store and assume that their taste in music is so great that they have to make sure everyone within nine blocks is listening to their selection of music, because it never once occurs to them that their taste in music is absolutely, and without question, so terrible that it defies description by any spoken language conceived by human beings.

Sometimes I wonder if they were dropped on their head as a child, or if they lack the gene that allows people to feel shame, but whatever the case may be, regardless of what tragic event shaped this person to be so anti-social that they lack all sense whatsoever about how the world around them might react to their behavior, I can say that they still deserve to be slapped. Hard. On the mouth.

And while I'm on the subject, let me tell you another thing- while listening to such music, I realize that literally anyone can become an "artist" and sell music to the bleating masses. Why is that? Because when the lyrics to your song are "Started from the bottom now we're here" and that's basically the entire song, then really, that proves that you can't write music. I mean, if the likes of Drake can write lyrics like that, sprinkled liberally with words I can't repeat here, that means anyone reading these words right now can become a successful "artist". You could literally toss slips of paper containing random words and expletives into a blender, and record whatever comes out when you turn the blender on and leave the top off. And then some moron could play your music as loud as humanly possible, in their vehicle, with all the windows rolled down, and all four doors on their pimped-out idiotmobile propped wide open, gracing the rest of us with their truly classy behavior, and excellent sense of musical artistry. You're wasting your time holding down a job, you could be "writing" what passes for "music" and selling it to people with excellent "taste" and absolutely no shame whatsoever. And keep in mind, you could be playing a song I like, and this kind of behavior still makes you a gigantic bag of feminine cleansing fluid.

.......So yeah, it was like that, except the music was actually being played at a normal volume, and didn't cause the elderly and small pets to experience convulsions, violent diarrhea, nausea, and occasional death. It was actually decent music, if a bit cliche. It was the soundtrack to The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.



And the Gameroomers watched with awe as the two men stared each other down. Even the town's unusually large population of lizards decided to take cover. This was going to be a gruesome battle, but it would be over in the blink of an eye, and only one man would be left standing. And that man would be forever known as a hero, and the one who was left face down in the dirt, well.... history is written by the victors. It wouldn't matter if that man was really a hero or a villain. All that would matter is that they would be known for all time from this moment forward only as a "la-hoo... za-hurrr".


The Gunslinger stared at john with an expression of cold blooded murderous intent. johnhughthom stared back, with an expression of utter disinterest, and possibly a hint of sarcasm. The way he was keeping his hand hovering over his weapon made it seem like he was poking fun at this whole process. It was the fourth-wall-breaking kind of sarcasm. Did anyone actually think that johnhughthom had a chance to shoot the Gunslinger, who was obviously the host of the game performing the lynch on john? There was absolutely no tension whatsoever on john's face. He knew he was being railroaded by the narrative. He didn't even bother reading this writeup. He knew at the end, he'd be the one with the bullet in his chest. So what was the point? Oooh, I look like a real badass wild west outlaw. I'm totally going to shoot the Gunslinger. Let me pose and grit my teeth like a real manly man. Watch me grab my gun and fire. I'll definitely hit him, and there's a chance in hell he won't kill me today. Whoopdy-freaking-do!

Yes, johnhughthom was quite smug and sarcastic, somewhere beneath that polished exterior of practiced apathy. And yet, he would see this farcical duel to the end.

"Draw!" someone shouted.

johnhughthom grabbed his weapon and fired.

When he was still standing there, holding his weapon, a few seconds later, it dawned on him. He hadn't been shot yet.

He was actually gazing off into the distance, not really paying attention to where he had fired his weapon. Because, after all, what was the point? The whole duel-lynch thing was just a silly railroad plot anyway.

But he grew mildly curious as to what happened, and looked over to where the Gunslinger had been standing.

He wasn't standing anymore.

It seems, john shot him.

[Darth Feather]

That was ...... unexpected

[johnhughthom]

Meh, TLDR.

[LazyMcCrow]

so which of you deadies gave jht your blessing hmm? don't suppose it was the were-baby by any chance?

[Darth Feather]

Why are we actually still duelling? Was the point not to firstly satisfy the gunslinger and secondly defeat him in a duel?

[Askthepizzaguy]

You want to piss off the undead Gunslinger? You have balls of steel, man.

[Darth Feather]

He is a zombie? But that means he can cheat as well as Abstain.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh yeah, he was a zombie. I forgot to mention that.

Also, I forgot to mention that the entire time I was telling this story, there was a gun conspicuously placed on the wall that I was supposed to keep mentioning, and then later on, it will get used for a murder, and then it would have all made sense.

Storytelling!

[Diana Abnoba]

Wait...what??? So John got a blessing, or had a protection, or the dead voted him to live, or he had a "get out of being killed free" card...now our gunslinger is a zombie...wt:daisy: :dizzy2:

[El Barto]

dafuuuuuuuqqqqq????
You are going on my ignore list, unless you change that sacrilegious avatar, El Takewer.

Somebody has been reading too much TvTropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChekhovsGun). Or possibly I have. Hopefully I managed to ruin somebody else's productivity today as well.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Since Double A and classical continue to refuse to send in orders, I'll have to disinclude them from this and future duels.

I will have to redo the duel matchups, but to be fair, the rule is: it's the same order as before, but if there's a gap, everyone below is moved up by one slot.

I realize any change in the order will change the outcome of the duels, so I'm announcing the metric and demonstrating that it's a pretty neutral metric. All in all, it's not that important to the game anyway.

[EnderBoy]

Meh, TLDR.


~;)


Well you've had a day and a half to pontificate this series of fortunate events.

Anything you wish to contribute to the conversation as to the goings on and the "what the hell"ness thereof?

[johnhughthom]

Ponificate? You don't know me very well, E-boy.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Please send in night actions now, those of you with the ability to do so.

I'm working on the results and writeup now, but let's get the night phase orders in.

AFAIK, nobody died from the duels today. Will have to re-check but if I'm wrong I'll give you more time. Assume everyone is still alive and please let's get the night phase over with.

The duel writeup is the most involved one, but it shouldn't delay the next phase any.

SUNDOWN of the Third Day




johnhughthom couldn't help but be at least mildly amused by this turn of events. He began to examine Delilah, wondering how he managed to survive the railroad plot against him.

He noticed that a very small rock had gotten itself wedged in the firing mechanism. Seems the desert was a cruel mistress after all, but from john's perspective, it was an early Christmas Miracle.

"This must be my lucky day!" marveled john as he removed the tiny pebble from the weapon, looking at it with a surprisingly non-apathetic look on his face.

Meanwhile, Gaius sneaked up behind him and swatted him on the head with a newspaper.

"Hey!" shouted johnhughthom. "......Quit it!"

~~~~


Makrell was well-prepared. He had pushed Ishmael's boulder from yesterday all the way back up the hill overlooking the town. He shouted down to his opponent, Lazy McCrow.

"I'm ready whenever you are!" he said.

LazyMcCrow was still completely engrossed in his project, the gatling gun made out of construction paper. He didn't even look up.

Makrell waited impatiently, leaning against the boulder, ready to let it start rolling down the hill at any moment.

"I'm still ready! Hurry up down there!"

"Uh.... I'm almost done!"

Makrell could barely see LazyMcCrow. "What are you DOING down there? You're not still trying to build a gun out of paper, are you?"

LazyMcCrow looked back at Makrell. "No! That's not what I'm doing! That would be absurd, to try the same failed tactic THREE TIMES in a row! What kind of fool do you take me for?"

Makrell was getting tired of waiting, and tired of holding up the boulder. "I can't hold on any longer.... I'm weak.... I'm too weak.... help me! Help me!"

"Just four more barrels to go, and I can build a tripod out of cardboard tubes."

He had nearly finished with the seventh barrel, when the boulder rolled past him with Makrell flattened against the side of it.

"I feel like a fish out of water."


~~~


The boulder continued rolling, flattening both Darth Feather and El barto as it continued rolling, each holding rocks of their own.

Let's call that one a tie and keep rollin' rollin' rollin.


~~~


Meanwhile, Jarema stood facing Ishmael, while holding a pair of scissors menacingly.

Ishmael, on the other hand, was busy searching for a rock in the nearby quarry.

"Come on..... where's a rock when you need one? How am I supposed to find a rock, with all these STONES in the way?"

Jarema continued holding the pair of scissors menacingly. "Yay!" he shouted.

Ishmael kept digging through pebbles, stones, even boulders, but couldn't find any rocks.

"Yay!" Jarema shouted again. This time he began chewing on the rubber handle of his scissors to find out if it was edible.

Ishmael thought he found a rock, but it was just a useless diamond. He tossed it in the pile of other gemstones.

"Oh Lord in heaven above! Why have you cursed me with this quarry that contains no rocks? I have found gravel, stones, metallic ores, and very large pebbles, and very small boulders, but absolutely no rocks! Will you please help me by giving me a rock? JUST ONE ROCK!? IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK, O SKY KING?"

"Yay!" Jarema shouted, as he began chewing on the sharp end of the scissors. They tasted like blood. Suddenly his mouth was full of blood for some reason. It must have been one of those newfangled blood scissors, Jarema thought to himself.

"Curse you, o Lord! Why couldn't you give me, your humble and loyal servant, a simple rock? There's a whole Earth literally made out of rocks, and instead, you've cursed me with these gigantic boulders that suffer from dwarfism and can fit in the palm of one's hand! And these ridiculously oversized pebbles which are the same size as the tiny boulders! ARE YOU MOCKING ME, O LORD?"

He had nearly finished cursing the Lord, when the boulder rolled past him with Jarema flattened against the side of it.

"Yay!" shouted Jarema, as he continued chewing on the bloody scissors.

"Live long and prosper!" shouted Zombie Monty.

"What? You can't live long, you're dead, Monty!" replied EnderBoy.

"Live long and prosper!" repeated Monty, holding up the Vulcan Salute.

"Oh no, it's worse than I thought.... Monty's not just dead..."

Monty continued drooling, as he began putting fake Vulcan ears on his rotting head.

"HE HAS NO LIFE!!!" shouted EnderBoy. He began screaming in horror, and ran away from Monty as fast as he could.

"It.... is.... only... logical...." said Montmorency, as he began chewing on his Spock action figure.

EnderBoy was running so fast, he didn't even notice the gigantic rock rolling towards him.

"Vulcans..... have.... telepathic..... BRAAAAIIINNNSSSSSS" said Monty.


~~~


Edse snatched Monty's Spock doll from him. "Yoink!"

"It.... not.... doll....... it..... collectible.... posable.... action..... figurine....." protested Monty.

"Now then, BSmith! Are you prepared to lower your shields and surrender your ships? Resistance is futile!" said Edse.

"That's the borg, you idjit. If you're going to be a nerd, at least be a competent one!"

"Then perhaps today IS a good day to die!" said Edse.

"YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD!!! AND THAT'S THE KLINGONS, YOU FOOL!"

"I'm sorry. Perhaps being dead has affected my..."

"Don't say it."

"Being dead has affected my..."

"DON'T SAY IT!!"

"Thinking abilities."

"Whew...."

"Orange you glad I didn't say BRAAAAIIINNNSSS?" shouted Zombi-edse.

"AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!" shouted BSmith in frustration. He ran up to Diana Abnoba.

"May I please borrow your Lizard?"

He ran back and stomped the Spock doll to pieces, and fed them to the Lizard.

The Lizard burped happily, as Edse ran away to tell his zombie mommy.


~~~


Ferret snatched the Lizard next, and threw it at Zack.

Zack caught the lizard and began to pet it. "Aww, did that bad man try to hurt us? Here, have a cricket."

The boulder, which by now had Makrell, Darth Feather, El Barto, Jarema, and EnderBoy stuck to the side of it, continued rolling and flattened Ferret as well.

It rolled off of the cliff.

"WE HOPE THERE'S A RIVER DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE!!!" they all said.


~~~


Diana Abnoba was searching for her pet lizard, trying to lure it back to her with tasty bits of paper, when the Werezombiebaby exploded out of the ground and trapped her in its gigantic scissor blades. It seemed she should have stayed out of the shade.

Diana Abnoba screamed for her life, as the deadly blades began closing on her.

"Eat paper, creep!" she threw the paper bits at the monster, hitting it in the face.

"Ooooohhh.... confetti! Goes great with marinara sauce and human entrails." said the Werezombiebaby.

Some of the paper got sucked up the creature's nose, and it was stunned for a moment.

"Aaaaa...."

"Oh no." said Diana.

"Aaaaaa....."

"Dear god, no."

"AAAAAPTCHOOOOOOO!!!!" the beast sneezed. The force of the blast carried Diana all the way across the center of town and she landed in the water trough.

"Ewwwww..... now I'm covered in baby sneeze and horse saliva. Pizza, how could you write such a disgusting thing?"

Diana walked over to Pizza and gave him a good smack.

"Lower!" said Pizza.

"Laaaaater." said Diana.


~~~~


The Gunslinger got up off of the ground.

johnhughthom began to protest.

"Hey, wait a minute! I killed you! I declare shenanigans!"

"I'm the game host. You can't call shenanigans on me." replied the Gunslinger.

"It's been done before." said johnhughthom. "recently, in fact."

"Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it?" replied the Gunslinger. "As host, I make the rules! As narrator, I don't need to let a little thing like being dead stop me. I can just write myself back into the game."

johnhughthom shot him again, this time with Delilah. It hit him square in the chest. He began bleeding.

Watch this....

"You missed!" declared the Gunslinger.

It seems the shot missed, actually. The blood was actually just a can of pizza sauce that the Gunslinger keeps in his breast pocket for special occasions.

johnhughthom began getting frustrated. He kept firing, pushing him backwards, and the wounds on the Gunslinger kept closing, T-1000 style.

"It's amazing how fast one's body can recuperate if you have enough iron in your system. Pizza sauce, for the win." said the Gunslinger.

johnhughthom put Delilah in his holster, and produced a shotgun. Even though the narrator clearly indicated that nobody in town besides the Gunslinger even had a weapon. Somehow, johnhughthom killing the Gunslinger and possessing Delilah gave him Narrator powers.


"I...."

*BLAM*


"HAVE HAD....."

*BLAM*


"ENOUGH......"

*BLAM*

"OF YOU!!!!"

*BLAM*


The Gunslinger had been pushed back to the edge of the cliff, with big huge gaping plot holes in his body He was teetering on the edge of disaster.


*click*

johnhughthom checked his shotgun. Out of ammo. He tried again.

*click*








"I'm the narrator, john. You can't kill me." said the Gunslinger, wagging a finger at him. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuVepcvZngU)







~~~~~~









Then, the Gunslinger looked up. He saw a gigantic boulder rolling towards him, with the bodies of Makrell, Darth Feather, El Barto, Jarema, EnderBoy, and Ferret plastered to the side of it.

"Wait, what?" said the Gunslinger. "How? Who? When?"

johnhughthom held Delilah in his hands, and began twirling it. "Narrator powers."

"Oh sh...." said the Gunslinger, as the boulder flattened him, and they all fell into the canyon.






~~~





johnhughthom: "As narrator, I declare a New rule: Whenever someone is spared from the lynch by a 'Miracle' from beyond this mortal realm, the Gunslinger dies instead. And the Gunslinger, in this case, will be whoever happens to be wielding Delilah at the time- and that is going to be the person that accuses the lynchee first, since our original Gunslinger is dead."


"Hello john." said the Gunslinger. He was standing behind johnhughthom.

"GAH! How'd you get there?" said johnhughthom.

"Narrator powers." said the Gunslinger. "You don't really think you can kill me permanently, do you?"

"This is getting really tiresome. okay, how about this one...."






"I have to go now. My planet needs me." said the Gunslinger.

The Gunslinger vanished, and was replaced by a signpost.



NOTE: The Gunslinger died on the way back to his home planet.





"I didn't even know he was an alien." said johnhughthom loudly, as he dropped Delilah on the ground.

"This is getting creepy. Someone else can be the Narrator for a while. On to the Night Phase." said johnhughthom, noticing his name was no longer purple.

"Good, it isn't really my color anyway. Pizza, you host weird games."









"I'll be back..."

MIDNIGHT of the Third Night




Ishmael was standing at the bottom of the canyon, having been invited there by someone with a very furry face and a toothy grin.

Ishmael looked up, and saw the boulder heading for his face.

"Hey! Where's my interesting writeup?"

"I'm tired" said the deceased Pizzaman.

Splat.

DECEASED PEOPLE: SEND IN YOUR VOTES FOR BLESSINGS NOW VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE.

[Askthepizzaguy]

TL;DR?

Remember the new rule governing blessings. If the lynchee doesn't die due to a lynch blessing, the person who voted them first dies.

This will be true even if they later unvote.

[LazyMcCrow]

I call shenanigans.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I call shenanigans.

I totally care! :bounce:

[LazyMcCrow]

Well, I care that you care~:wave:

[Zack]

Vote: LazyMcCrow

I have no fear.

[El Barto]

So, that disturbing… baby thing with the scissors has won all its duels. Eek.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Happy 800 spam posts, Barto. :tongue2:

[El Barto]

The good thing is, I've actually contributed to discussion at some points! It's tax deductible.

[Darth Feather]

So, that disturbing… baby thing with the scissors has won all its duels. Eek.

Hey, If I were allowed to cheat, I would have won all of my duels as well. :bounce:

[Montmorency]

Huh, I thought I'd won all my duels. Oh well - I'll check later on-n-n-n-n-n.

DAWN of the FOURTH DAY



Once again, the sun began to shine on the people of Gameroom. But the sun felt particularly warm and inviting to one specific person, once again.

Interesting that only one specific person felt warm and fuzzy, but that is what the heavens demanded, I suppose.

Would today's chosen victim also escape death, or would they taste Delilah's sweet, sweet lead?

A rooster crowed loudly, as if demanding that the barbaric system of justice begin. People walked to the center of town, feeling strangely lost without the Gunslinger around. Who would lift up Delilah and continue his work?


Let's find out!

BEGIN MORNING PHASE OF THE FOURTH DAY

Please vote to lynch someone now!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Huh, I thought I'd won all my duels. Oh well - I'll check later on-n-n-n-n-n.

You tied your previous duel and was only placed in the lower tier due to alphabetical order.

[Darth Feather]

Cheating would imply breaking the rules. It'd apear this is different.

As much as I would like to prove you wrong, I re-read the rules and there IS no rule that says you can't choose zombie. So you are right, he is not a cheater. (merely a zombie)

[johnhughthom]

So, I'm still alive. We going to waste another day talking about me, or go looking for scum?

Vote: GSC

You seem awfully keen to keep the focus on lil ol' me.

[Zack]

Vote: JHT


Meh, the continued survival of someone with so much focus on them is something I've often preached against, whether they flip townie or scum it is often best to get rid of them and allow the town to focus without the big distraction. BUT, I also think townie self votes are a crime against mafia and refuse to do so. I will not be voting this round, feel free to lynch me and allow the game to move past the silly case on me.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Vote: jht

Just because the dead saved you (that is the only known mechanism for surviving a lynch) does not make you innocent, and your complete disinterest in your own survival rules you out as a power role - unless you would like to claim otherwise..?

Otherwise, it is in the town's best interest to remove you as quickly as possible, as you yourself said last round (thank you Zack)...

[Makrell]

vote: jhtg

[johnhughthom]

Just because the dead saved you

Which is what makes what Zack quoted pretty irrelevant, I had no knowledge of that particular game mechanism before I made that post. It is quite likely that there is some sort of dead qt, where knowledge is shared between the dead players. It may well be that there is a scan result or similar that clears me that never made it into the public domain. That is really the only thing that makes any sense as to why the dead would have saved me.


your complete disinterest in your own survival rules you out as a power role - unless you would like to claim otherwise..?

No, and no.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I had no knowledge of that particular game mechanism before I made that post.


DAWN- One may be spared from the beasts. One may be spared from the Gunslinger. These blessings are given out only once per person.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it.

The very organisation of the game into four phases is predicated on the dead being able to save someone. You must have been aware of this mechanic.


It may well be that there is a scan result or similar that clears me that never made it into the public domain.


When you are dead, you may no longer discuss any information that is not already present here in the game thread...

While I grant that it is possible, ATPGs wording renders it unlikely that the dead can disclose information that they have failed to do so prior to their demise. At the end of the day we shall see: you cannot be saved by the dead twice, and I believe that I will be proved correct...

[Diana Abnoba]

Agree with above reasoning, so again I shall Vote: johnhughthom or jht (whichever name he's going by now).

[Ferret]

Vote:jht

He's just as big a distraction as before, if not more so. I really cannot understand why the dead chose to keep him alive...

[Darth Feather]

vote: edse

Random vote: no problem, it is Day 1


vote:jht

Vote for jht, following the main townie feeling


killing edse could just be aplay by the mafia to frame jht, even though lazy said so and it is obvious indeed.

Claims that killing edse may be a ploy to frame jht


dont yoy ussually just recover from these situations, i might bew off but something strikes me as scummy from that post.

Says Double A, even though he is dead is scummy


WELL WELL, SEEMS THE CAPS BEAT ME AGAIN

No idea what this means, I might just miss the humor


cant you add an activity in the dawn phase? maybe making townies voting for a player which should receve a double vote or similar.

meh


does the myghty jht have any other suspects?

vote: jht

This strikes me as scummy: suddenly Makrell doesn't think his "frame-job" theory is no longer valid.


if you are town, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

if you are mafia, it would be very helpful to learn your thoughts, as to use them post mortem.

Like a scum would tell and a townie would know anything more than you


vote: jhtg

Again jht-vote with no reasoning

Vote: Makrell

Don't get me wrong, we should totally lynch jht today, because he is just distracting the town if townie and we might capture a scum if he is scummy.
I just think Makrell is worthwhile looking deeper into. (still got my eyes on Lazy though :whip:)

[Makrell]

how many mafias are there usually in a game this size, i might have something

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I've never played a small game before, but I'd guess two or three.

In what way is your theory predicated on the number of mafiosi though? Why don't you share it anyway, any theory that can be added to the discussion is good for the town.

[El Barto]

As much as I would like to prove you wrong,Which you can't…

I re-read the rules and there IS no rule that says you can't choose zombie. So you are right, he is not a cheater. (merely a zombie)
Maybe, although I hadn't interpreted it exactly that way.

[LazyMcCrow]

Maybe dead town is trying to keep a townie alive? vote: Diana

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's time.

Johnhughthom is the clear lynch, and I will get to this as soon as I can, which might be later on. (NEED SLEEP BADLY)

Those of you who want to be spoiled before the writeup, here is the outcome, and then, in another spoiler, the alignment of the deceased.

Those who prefer to wait until I post the writeup, may instead send me their Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock orders now!

johnhughthom was:
Lynched successfully.

And he was:

MAFIA!

If you keep reading, you'll probably be spoiled by others playing the game. So, unspoiled people send in that order and run far, far from here!

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Not Voting: BSmith, El Barto, Enderboy

Edit: Too Late!

Sorry 'bout that. Apparently this Day phase (or Dawn phase or whatever it's called) happened entirely over the weekend. So I'm confused as to what this means. Am I dead? In purgatory? Do I get a Red Ryder BB gun for my duels? Can I vote on the RPSLS? I'll turn in a vote either way.

[El Barto]

Red Ryder BBGun isn't a valid vote, mind you. Unless Darth Feather's correct.

[Askthepizzaguy]

My apologies for the delay- I'll get on this as soon as I can. RL has sucked away all of my free time these past couple days.

[El Barto]

I don't remember anymore whether I've sent you orders.

[LazyMcCrow]

I don't remember where I put the glue and paper for my model gatling gun. It's possibly by the river. Can I borrow anyone's lizard plz?

[Darth Feather]

I don't remember where I put the glue and paper for my model gatling gun. It's possibly by the river. Can I borrow anyone's lizard plz?

WIFOM, hein? I think you picked paper again. :stare:

[Diana Abnoba]

I have forgotten what I picked by now, hey Pizza, where are you, advance the game already, please. :grin:

[Askthepizzaguy]

All right, sorry for the delays. They were twofold:

1) Very busy IRL

2) Many, many people had lots of time to send in orders and just refused to do so. Very difficult to host a game with low participation levels. I blame myself because the setup of the game doesn't lead directly from lynch to murder phases, so I'm guessing that kills discussion, and no discussion kills interest.

I did prod folks to send in night actions, and I refused to advance the game without 100% night action participation. The duels are mostly color, but we don't have a game at all without night participation.

To get things moving again, and due to the low participation, I've decided to forgo any detailed writeups this round. Hopefully participation improves.





RESULT OF DAY PHASE:

Johnhughthom was lynched, was The Werewolf.




RESULT OF DUEL PHASE (Afternoon Phase):


Visorslash TIE
Gaius TIE

Bsmith WINS
Lazy FORFEIT SURVIVES

Darth Feather TIE
Monty TIE

Zack FORFEIT SURVIVES
Ishmael WINS

Diana WINS
John FORFEIT

Edse TIE
Makrell TIE

Barto FORFEIT SURVIVES
Ender WINS

Ferret FORFEIT SURVIVES
Yay WINS


As you can see, I had five forfeits due to nonparticipation. Ties and wins by forfeit. Not much of a duel phase to write about.

No deaths due to those people having one immunity to a duel forfeit for joining Andres' game.



NIGHT PHASE RESULTS:

LazyMcCrow was murdered. He was Town.



Just to get the game back on track, I'm not going to bother with the Dawn Phase. Low participation there anyway, and we need to get back to discussing and lynching things.




BEGIN DAY PHASE 5.

You have 48 hours.

[LazyMcCrow]

Damn. I didn't think I'd missed sending orders.

[Makrell]

jht the town, i dont know who else, would the mafia have several killers for a game this size or just one killer sending orders.

[El Barto]

Sod off, Pizza, I asked you twice whether I'd sent in anything or not and you never answered.

[Montmorency]

Hmm...I'm dead, right? Just a notice for this game and the other that I won't be able to send in orders after the 8th. :bow:

[BSmith]

A little birdy told me El Barto is evil.

vote: El Barto

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

In the absence of any other strong feelings...

Vote: Enderboy

While you seem perfectly pleasant and have actually attempted to engage in decent analysis from the get-go, you also strike me as intelligent enough to be convincingly disingenuous.

Unless someone can convince me someone else is more deserving of attention...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sod off, Pizza, I asked you twice whether I'd sent in anything or not and you never answered.

Check your inbox for response.

[Diana Abnoba]

Thanks for advancing the game along, Pizza. :bow:


Okay, my pet lizard is telling me that he saw Darth Feather eating human flesh the other night. Vote: Darth Feather
(okay, okay, I just threw a dart at the list of players left).

[Darth Feather]

Thanks for advancing the game along, Pizza. :bow:


Okay, my pet lizard is telling me that he saw Darth Feather eating human flesh the other night. Vote: Darth Feather
(okay, okay, I just threw a dart at the list of players left).

Random voting on Day 5? I allmost want to vote you. For now: FoS: Diana Abnoba

BSmith was telling that a birdie told him El Barto was evil. That looks like what Chaotix said in last game where he got investigation results from someone else. So: Vote: El Barto

[Ferret]

Vote: BSmith

Because Andres' game gave me a grudge against little birdies and those who listen to them.

[Darth Feather]

Vote: BSmith

Because Andres' game gave me a grudge against little birdies and those who listen to them.

The one difference being there is full reveal on death in this game, so we won't lynch an innocent more then once.

[BSmith]

Yeah... someone came to me in private and said they scanned El Barto as evil. For obvious reasons I am not saying who the birdie is, at least until we see the result on El Barto.

[El Barto]

Are you trying to perform an extispicium on me? :boxedin:

[Askthepizzaguy]

vote: El Barto


Vote: Enderboy


Vote: Darth Feather


Vote: El Barto


Vote: BSmith


After two days of voting, this is where we stand. And this is how it ends, I suppose.

Writeup in progress.

HIGH NOON of the FIFTH DAY




El Barto growled. He looked around the almost empty town. Only four people besides himself even bothered to show up.

Two of them were accusing him, and apparently, no one came to his defense.

At this point, it seemed futile to even resist. He decided he would have to go.

BSmith picked up Delilah and checked to make sure she was loaded. He tossed the other silver revolver to El Barto.

It was El Time-o. Once again, someone was kind enough to leave their car stereo on in a loud and obnoxious manner. Fortunately their taste in music was better than their sense of civility.





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QyWS7xUS2o



A man appeared before Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo's stage driver man
wearing a long white linen
and a dust flour sack over his head
Pointed a double barreled shotgun
at the driver and forced him to halt
Please throw down your box, sir
and madame please I don't need your money or pearls
They call him Black Bart P-O-8
the highway bandit poetry man
Leaving his poem disappeared
like a ghost on his own, all on his own
The road he owns
Rise Black Bart rise I'm calling
Calling your spirit out
dust off your hat and hatchet
there are boxes out there with your name and mark
The road has been cold and lonely,
the road has been out of good tales
Let's shake up some dust
We'll be opening the box like before, just like before
and leave a poem
For honor and for riches
I've labored long and hard for the bread
but on my corns too long you tread
You fine haired sons of






El Barto slung the iron off his waist, and waited for BSmith to make his move.

"Thirty paces" said BSmith.

"No, BSmith. That might be the way honorable men do things. But perhaps you don't know who I am. They call me El Barto, but I am really far more notorious than all that. I'm also known as Black Barto. And this is the way we do things where I come from."

El Barto took out his silver revolver and fired. BSmith was just a moment slower on the draw.




*BLAM*





*BLAM*



A few drops of blood were immediately swallowed up by the thirsty desert dust.

Black Barto: "I'm not a civilized man, BSmith. At my heart, I guess I'm just a black-hearted beast after all. Heh, heh, heh."

BSmith checked his chest to see if he had been wounded. He made doubly sure he wasn't bleeding anywhere.

BSmith: "Well, Black Bart. Let me tell you how we do things where I come from. You see, I know better than to allow a notorious gangster like yourself to have a gun with bullets in it."

Black Barto checked his weapon.

BSmith: "Oh I might have been slower than you on the draw, but when it comes to other things, you're definitely slow. You see, those are blanks."

Black Barto emptied the blanks out of his gun, furiously. "YOU CHEATED ME!!! I WILL RIP YOU APART!!!"

BSmith took a few steps back. "Uh.... I shot you, remember? You're supposed to lie down and uhmmm..... die?"

Black Barto simply snarled. "Maybe I didn't make myself clear. That's the way of honorable men. My name is Black Barto. I don't play by the rules."


Black Barto began to transform, in the shade of the saloon.








https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/0001_zps6071a18b.png







Black Bearto: "I WILL CONSUME..... CONSUME EVERYTHING......"


BSmith started unloading hot lead into the gigantic werebear. Even the bullets from Delilah were bear-ly causing any damage. The rampaging beast came within a werebear-hair of ripping BSmith a new gun holster, when BSmith closed his eyes and pulled the trigger one more time. The bear lunged, tackling BSmith to the ground, fangs bared.


BSmith felt the gigantic bear on top of him, its teeth locked around his throat. He gripped Delilah in his hands, worried even the fabled weapon's powers of narration wouldn't be enough to save him.

But he noticed the only breaths he heard were his own.


"Could someone help lift this thing off of me?" he shouted to the crowd, which had already fled for their lives.

DUEL PHASE COMPLETE.

Please note, some of you did not survive this particular engagement. Therefore, if you plan on sending in night actions early, you might wish to check in after the writeup is posted to see if your target even made it to the night phase.

Will try to put this up sometime today, although my time will be sucked up by phone calls to insurance companies and dens where the ones known only as attorneys lie in wait.

[El Barto]

May you escape the perilous realm of The Legal Ones, O questioning flatbread fellow.

[Zack]

Please replace me. Sorry.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Status update: Some night orders will need to be re-sent as a result of the duels.
You have 24 additional hours.

After that, the duels and night results can both be posted.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There we go. We're about ready to conclude things.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

Note to self: Adding extra phases to the game is a busted idea.

The Showdown




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyQDr4ZBvAA



Darth Feather approached Gaius Scribonius Curio, like a thief in the night.

Gaius heard the mortal's footsteps approaching. He bared rows and rows of teeth, ready to devour yet another fleshy morsel.

Darth Feather, on the other hand, held Delilah firmly in his hand, and a flashlight in the other.\

The flashlight did not deter Gaius. Only sunlight would do such a thing. So he turned to face the mortal, and grinned with evil anticipation.

"So, you are the last of the Were-beasts. I knew it was you. I could smell the stench coming off of your breath. You can't hide from me anymore."

Gaius was undeterred. "What makes you think I need to hide from you? I could bite your head off in the blink of an eye."

Darth Feather waved Delilah in Gaius' face.

"Oh please. Put that little toy away. You'll certainly not harm me with it."

Darth Feather pondered that for a moment, and was inclined to agree. Gaius stood a hulking nine foot tall, and his shark-like jaw had a reach longer than his arms. He didn't look like bullet wounds would even slow him down.

"I do have something up my sleeve, however. I didn't come alone."


BSmith leaped out of the darkness, wielding a kitchen knife. Gaius Scribonius Curio turned around and bit him completely in half.




BSmith has been slain. He was Townie!




Zack and EnderBoy were next. They charged at Gaius from both sides, armed with rocks, and lizards, and even Spock dolls.

"Collectible action figurines!" shouted Zack.

Those would be his last words, however, as the devastatingly evil Were-beast grabbed them both by the throat, and dumped them into his jaws unceremoniously.




Zack has been slain. He was Townie!




EnderBoy has been slain. He was Townie!




Gaius Scribonius Curio sneered at the silly Gameroomers. Choosing to attack him in the dark of the night was probably not the wisest decision they could have made. He was a were-beast, after all....

[Askthepizzaguy]

The Chase
















The remaining villagers decided to retreat and regroup. They jumped on horses and rode off, trying to stay out of reach of the enormous Werebeast, who was in close pursuit.

The sound of gnashing teeth and chomping jaws echoed through the night.

Makrell, the pizza delivery man, tried to distract the monster by throwing pizzas at the creature. However, it was only interested in human flesh, and in his zeal to hurl pizzas at the Were-beast, he overextended and fell off of his horse.

With one last bloodcurdling scream, Makrell was no more.

The Standoff







The remaining townies led the Were-beast deeper into the desert. The horses were slightly more able to run through the desert sands than the bipedal were-beast, who also happened to dislike the dry conditions in the desert, being half man, half shark.


However, Curio pursued them relentlessly, blood dripping from his fangs. Deeper into the terrible sands they went.... and the minutes seemed like hours. There was no shelter from the danger... it would follow them to the very ends of the Earth.


Darth Feather led them closer and closer to the canyon, but the horses were getting tired. One of them stumbled in a dip in the sands, and broke its leg. Elite Ferret was thrown from his horse.


Darth Feather and Diana Abnoba stopped to try to help Elite Ferret, but it was too late. Curio arrived, and pounced upon the man. He was torn to utter shreds within seconds.


Diana and Darth Feather rode off hurriedly... unsure they would survive this.








Elite Ferret has been slain. He was Townie!







Finally, they reached the edge of the desert, overlooking the canyon. Darth Feather dismounted his horse.


"I forgot to ask LazyMcCrow.... was there actually a river down there somewhere?"


Diana just shrugged, and they prepared to jump in, not knowing what their fate would be.


But as they turned, they saw Gaius Scribonius Curio standing at the edge of the canyon, grinning his big toothy grin. The moonlight shone off of his glistening jaws.


"Now then.... shall we begin?"

The Rumble









Darth Feather and Diana Abnoba stood, watching their horses run away in terror. Now, there was nowhere left to run.

On one side, there was the Were-shark, and beyond him was a cliff, and the only hope of surviving such a fall would be if there were a river down there somewhere.

On the other side, was endless desert, and they couldn't possibly run faster than the Were-shark.

Their only escape was to kill the hated beast.

Diana Abnoba gulped loudly, and reached into her breast pocket, and pulled out her secret weapon.

"One more time, my precious.... help momma live!"

She tossed the tiny lizard at Gaius Scribonius Curio, who promptly slammed his jaws shut over the airborne reptile.

"No..." whimpered Diana.


"Drop the lizard, were-shark!" shouted Darth Feather.

Gaius Scribonius Curio only grinned. "Make me." He said.


*BANG*


Darth Feather shot Gaius right in the chest. Gaius looked down, and was unhappy that his new Italian suit was ruined not just because of desert sand, but blood as well.


"I'm bleeding." said Gaius. "You made me bleed my own blood! That makes me angry!"


Diana ran over to Darth Feather, and grabbed the other revolver out of his holster. She promptly turned the weapon on Gaius, and began firing furiously.


*BANG*


*BANG*



*BANG*



*BANG*


*BANG*


"YOU WILL DROP MY LIZARD RIGHT NOW!!!" shouted Diana Abnoba, as she began cursing the Were-beast with rather colorful language I can't repeat here, as there are lizards present.


Gaius Scribonius Curio turned and spat the Lizard at Diana, slightly annoyed by the cluster of bullet wounds.


"You wish to be the next to die. That can be arranged."


Darth Feather looked at Delilah, and remembered that it could be used as a narrative device.


"Hey guys. Did I miss anything?" said LazyMcCrow.


"What?" said Gaius, turning to see the deceased LazyMcCrow standing next to Darth Feather.


"You arrived just in time, corpse-boy. Did you bring the goods?" said Darth Feather.


"Yup. Behold!" said LazyMcCrow, as he pulled a dusty tarp off of a rather large item that nobody noticed had been sitting there the entire time.


Darth Feather immediately grabbed the weapon, and pointed it at Gaius Scribonius Curio.


"....A gatling gun?!?" shouted Gaius incredulously.


"Made of paper." replied LazyMcCrow.


Darth Feather: "Hasta la vista, baby."


"There's no fricking way...."


The gatling gun began to unload on Gaius, launching countless wads of paper at the surprised Were-shark, covering him with tiny paper cuts, bouncing off of his eyes, and filling his open jaw with debris.


Now furious, the Were-Shark vowed to make LazyMcCrow die once more, and cause Darth Feather to suffer the slowest and most horrifying death imaginable.


Darth Feather tossed Delilah over to Diana Abnoba, as he continued firing the paper gun. Gaius Scribonius Curio charged toward Darth Feather, jaws wide with murderous intent.


Diana thought quickly, and decided to bring back another narrative device.


Out from behind an absurdly skinny cactus, came a gigantic boulder. It strained everyone's credulity that it could have possibly fit behind the cactus, and that it was already in motion, and that nobody noticed it before. Nonetheless, the boulder emerged, surprising Gaius as he came within ten feet of the gatling gun.


"NOT AGAIN!!!" Shouted the Were-shark, as the boulder crushed him, and began rolling toward the cliff.


The were-shark sighed, defeated.


"I hope there's a river down there somewhere...."













Gaius Scribonius Curio has been defeated.

He was The Were-Shark!








Darth Feather watched the final mafioso plummet down the canyon, with Diana standing at his side.


Diana turned to Darth Feather. "So.... what just happened?"


Darth Feather consulted his Sleuth notebook, and replied.


"It seems as though several townies died due to missing duel orders once again. And BSmith was rightly murdered."


Diana Abnoba nodded. "Okay, that makes sense."


Darth Feather: "I scanned Gaius last night, and got a result that he was a Were-beast. And I also survived the night. Since Gaius was the final mafioso, the last day phase would have been a foregone conclusion. Knowing that, Gaius Scribonious Curio conceded defeat."


Diana Abnoba: "What about the other town deaths?"


"Probably just for dramatic flavor" LazyMcCrow said. "Makes things more interesting...." Lazy then transformed into a thousand paper airplanes and sailed off into the night, never to be seen or heard from again, until the next game he signed up for.

And he somehow took his gatling gun with him. I don't know how he did it. Just trust me on this.

I'll get to the duel results and the finals of the duel tournament later. For now, the game is over. I apologize for the length of the phases and the superfluous phases where almost nothing happened. Sometimes experiments don't go as well as planned. We live, we learn.

Hope you folks enjoyed the writeups, where possible, and had fun where possible.

[Darth Feather]

I did love the write-ups and the game. And I actually found out two scumbags. For once I wasn't completely useless to the town. :horn:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Between the Abstain lynch and your continued survival, unimpeded by either the mafia or the town roleblocker, that was all she wrote.

Those two things meant mafia couldn't possibly win. The Godfather was lynched round one, while making his own teammate look guilty in the process. And also meant your scan was reliable, which Godfathers are supposed to throw into question.

Your scan of the remainder was inevitable. Telling someone else to claim results for you was the winning move.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Congratulations to the town, and particularly Darth Feather: ATPG is correct. I had a feeling that you were the detective, but I was not sure enough not to kill BSmith first. Next time I will be braver.

I feel that the mafia had pretty poor luck, but having said that we made preventable mistakes: Visor failing to vote for JHT; El Barto being lynched; Darth not being targeted in the final round. Would I be correct in suggesting that I was not the first choice for scanning in the final round, but your original target was killed, DF?

[Darth Feather]

True, I targetted Enderboy. :yes: A stroke of luck from my side.

[Askthepizzaguy]

True, I targetted Enderboy. :yes: A stroke of luck from my side.

Unfortunately for the mafia, not all of the town deaths due to inactivity helped them.

I established a very clear and unambiguous rule- if you signed up to Andres' game, you had precisely one survival against duel inactivity.

Anyone else in game who misses a duel, or has squandered their duel inactivity mercy shot, will die upon missing duel orders. I couldn't not enforce the rule, that would be playing favorites.

Mafia really needed those deaths, too. They were getting some much needed help until your scan target changed.

[Makrell]

what is a naive roleblocker?

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I have no complaints, the rule was unambiguous and totally fair. As I said: preventable mistakes.

[Visor]

Someone who thinks they roleblock, but don't actually?

[Askthepizzaguy]

what is a naive roleblocker?

A roleblocker who is told they have a night action, but are unaware of what it is.

You were told you could deliver pizzas. You didn't realize anyone who ate a pizza would be otherwise too busy to do anything that night.

Not until you delivered pizza to yourself, would you realize you were a roleblocker.

Which, incredibly, you did.... and learned you were a roleblocker. Forgot which night that was.

[Askthepizzaguy]

And yes, I did invent that role.

There's another role with the same name, which is being told you're a roleblocker, but it doesn't function at all.

I think that's too cheesy, even for me. I prefer my version.

[Makrell]

Didnt i send for Curio final night? I think I did, seeing as I threw pizzaz at him, why didnt that work?

[Visor]

That sounds like Makrell.

[Makrell]

Of course i sent it to myself, as i needed to learn the purpose, i knew it wasnt fatal as noone died from it.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Didnt i send for Curio final night? I think I did, seeing as I threw pizzaz at him, why didnt that work?

You sent in an order for pizzas to Diana.

I just inserted you into the writeup because I was sad my awesome little pizzaguy role never really got to either stop a scumbag's kill, or even interfere with the town powers at all.

Nobody knew you had any powers all game. Was hoping we'd have a writeup where nobody died, and there were simply empty pizza boxes in the middle of town.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Of course i sent it to myself, as i needed to learn the purpose, i knew it wasnt fatal as noone died from it.

A very clever move, actually. You would know what you were doing to yourself, at the very least. So your reasoning was extremely sound.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Be an interesting write-up for a 'naive' vigilante...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Be an interesting write-up for a 'naive' vigilante...



Askthepizzaguy crept into Gaius' bedroom, not entirely sure why he was doing so.

He trembled with trepidation. The voices in his head would not stop telling him to visit strange men at night. He would wake up in the morning feeling sore, and having a bit of a headache, never quite remembering what he had done, only, that he had indeed visited them.

He decided to be prepared, just in case. He brought along a six pack of beers, hopeful that he had been spending his time watching Three Stooges reruns and getting smashed. He brought a hardhat and a large assortment of wrenches, just in case he was secretly a plumber that went around town fixing leaky pipes while sleepwalking. He brought a black mask to wear, just in case he was such a notoriously sneaky cat burglar, that he even fooled himself into thinking he was just an ordinary mild-mannered dude. He brought along a skimpy pink negligee, just in case he was playing for the other team and didn't even know about it. Not that there was anything wrong with that. It just would have shocked the hell out of him.

Gaius stirred in his sleep. "Askthepizzaguy... what are you doing in my bedroom, wearing a hardhat, a mask, and a skimpy pink negligee, while holding a wrench? And what are all those beers for?"

Askthepizzaguy shifted his feet nervously.

"I..... I don't know, Gaius. I only knew that I was drawn here by some hidden, irresistible force. And I didn't know what would happen when I arrived. But I am ready to finally find out what I've been doing at night."

Askthepizzaguy found himself being drawn closer, and closer.... and closer.

With a sudden swing, the wrench was embedded several inches deep in Gaius' skull. Gaius fell off of the bed, and lay in a pool of blood.

"Ohhhhhh.... I run around killing people every night. WHEW! Thanks Gaius. You don't know what a relief this is for me."

Gaius said nothing in return.

Askthepizzaguy began climbing out of the window, stopping himself only momentarily to offer parting words to Gaius.

"So umm..... call me?"

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am a little surprised no one is questioning my reasoning that if a roleblocker roleblocks himself, the roleblock succeeds.

...It's more than a little paradoxical. :evilgrin:

[Darth Feather]

I am a little surprised no one is questioning my reasoning that if a roleblocker roleblocks himself, the roleblock succeeds.

...It's more than a little paradoxical. :evilgrin:

BWAM Brain exploded :tnt:

[Askthepizzaguy]

The roleblocker is not roleblocked until his action is successful. Otherwise, he would be blocking himself before he had a chance to block someone, the someone in this case being himself. So, due to cause and effect, the roleblocker's action against himself must always be successful. Unless, of course, someone else blocks him. Then his action will be unsuccessful, even though he will still be roleblocked either way.

[Askthepizzaguy]

To put it in even simpler terms- you can shoot yourself in the brain with a gun, but you can't shoot anyone else afterward.

The bullet does not enter your brain until after you've fired. So the bullet from your own gun can never prevent you from pulling the trigger which fires the bullet into your own brain. Unless you get yourself a time machine.

[Askthepizzaguy]

So, I've solved it neatly for you. All nice and tidy, with a bow. Paradox avoided.

Oh, but there is one more thing.

If he roleblocked himself, and he was successful in doing so, doesn't that mean he was actually unsuccessful in roleblocking himself? He failed to stop himself from roleblocking someone, after all.

I know, but as nobody seemed to jump to it, I decided to try to convince others. I was really deciding wether I should do it or not. If I wouldn't have voted for him, he would have gone free. But in the end it turned out well for the town.

Oh yeah, um.... sorry. Kinda kept putting this off. I can't find my duel notes but it doesn't matter, there were two players with a flawless duel record, and they faced off against the game host and won, therefore winning the game also, with the town.

Insert epic duel writeup here. Sorry.

http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/PXyetVm3a3Nf

Here's their quicktopic which explains it all. One wins every duel if alive, one wins every duel while dead, and so they were completely undefeated because one didn't die until there were no more duels, and one didn't live past day one. The odds of that happening are astronomical.

Visorslash and Gaius Scribonius Curio officially win the game, with the townies.

Surprise!
