Choose Your Own Adventure Mafia [Concluded]

DAY 4

They decided they would be investigating the source of the radiation rather than heading into Coldenskian territory. Jolt, deemed most likely to be an agent of the Union, was decided as the advance scout for the day.

The workers marched north for most of the day before they came across something interesting.

That something was what appeared to be a massive extraterrestrial spacecraft. It was definitely the source of the radiation. It was filled with many hull breaches and in most places the siding was rusted and wearing away. However, some writing in very large, red letters could be seen on the side of the ship.

Most of the word had been obscured, but on one end the letters “GAL” were visible, and on the other end, “TZPAH”. Whatever could have been painted in between was a mystery. What was most striking was that the writing was in English, whereas the craft of the ship looked like nothing that was made on Earth – or at least, nothing that could be made since the dismantling of the space program.

Surrounding the spacecraft was what appeared to be a series of metal fence posts, but there was no fence in between.

“Jolt, go examine those posts.”

“No way, man. I’m not going anywhere near that thing!”

“Go, or I’ll have to consider you a traitor. And you know what happens to traitors.”

There was no arguing with the Foreman. Jolt took a deep breath, and started out toward the nearest fence post. He had a really bad feeling about this. The spaceship seemed somehow familiar to him – and not in a good way. Maybe in a past life this spaceship had caused him a lot of trouble or something. But that was nonsense. Jolt didn’t believe in that reincarnation crap. That hadn’t been a legal religion since some scientist had found a way to actually reincarnate people using stem cells and brain transplants. That was highly illegal.

But when he walked up to the nearest post, he was not surprised when it began to spray rapidly condensing supercooled gas particles at him. And it was somehow familiar being frozen solid indefinitely. But for the life of him, Jolt still couldn’t fathom why.

Choxorn - Should've said he was a witch.
Zack - Will probably be reincarnated as a Space Whale.
The King - Is probably wishing he was still called Ibn Khaldun.
Darth Feather - Never liked licorice much anyway.
Montmorency - Is probably medium-rare right about now.
Makrell - Is in sweet, sweet heaven.
TinCow - Shouldn't have lost his head in that argument.
Arjos - He may be dead, but his legacy lives on...
Ishmael - Is between a rock and a hot place. Actually, he is between two hot molten rocks. Or actually it could be three.
Double A - Swam in so much sugar he got the bends.
Jolt - Has been put on ice.

This phase will be roughly 48 hours, because I won't have time to do a write-up tomorrow.

Curses and drat. Meat popsicles for dinner again!

The ghost of choxorn uses the supercool gas particles to create ice cream, and searches the ship for cake to go with the ice cream.

There's probably some Space Cake in the pantry if you can find it.

Don't kill Jarema.

I'd be looking at the Riedquat counter-wagon for some scum.

I'd be looking at the Jolt wagon. Jolt was acting the same way as last game, and he wouldn't do that again as mafia IMO. It just makes him so much more lynchable.

Easy wagon for scum to hide by on.

Certainly, and it needs attention. However, the mafia knew Jolt was going to pop townie. There was a whole lot of fluff on the Riedquat accusations and it came late in the day after Jolt was already doomed, so that's an obvious bail-point for scum that didn't want to get caught up in the Jolt fail.

Makes sense and chances are you're right - unless I'm right of course and Riedquat is scum.

Then Tincow must be right. From the people voting for me, robbiecon and Csargo are the ones intriguing me the most, Csargo is interesting because his posts and votes have less substance than mine... you and visor seem to have a problem in your radar.

I should note that Csargo's style hasn't ever really changed. You'll not see many... um... words from his posts.

His behavior has no tell at the moment. Perfect poker face.

Indeed.

NIGHT 4

That night, Askthepizzaguy was out by one of the fenceposts, standing around and muttering suspiciously.

“Quantum physics… electromagnetic forces.. bahahaha!”

He was so busy giggling maniacally that he failed to notice the dark figure sneaking up behind him.

“It will be mine! All of it! All for me! Yes. YES. Yes. Yesssss….”

At this point the agent in the darkness was getting kind of uncomfortable.

“And then…mumble mumble…linear algebra! Gwahahaha!”

The agent pushed Askthepizzaguy into the fencepost, causing about 5000 volts to be passed directly through his body. He fell to the ground, burnt to a crisp.

Then the fencepost began to spark and crackle, along with all of the others around it. The agent dove for cover as the fencepost exploded, causing the ground to rumble.

The agent dusted himself off and walked away from the scene as quickly as he could.

Ironside was sleeping when suddenly, CANDY-

Wait, what? Hey, I’m trying to tell a story here. You can’t just come in here and MWEHEHEHE CANDY!

NOW I AM TELLING THE STORY. THIS HERE IS IRONSIDE. HE IS ASLEEP.

*SMACK*

NOW HE IS NOT ASLEEP.

“Hey, who are you? What do you want?”

BE QUIET, IRONSIDE.

“Mmmmph!”

I HAVE PLACED A JAWBREAKER INSIDE OF IRONSIDE’S MOUTH. HE CANNOT SPEAK.

“Mmmph! Mmmph!”

I WILL NOW PLACE TWO TOOTSIE ROLLS IN IRONSIDE’S NOSTRILS. OH, LOOK. NOW HE CANNOT BREATHE. HE IS SLOWLY SUFFOCATING SINCE HE IS UNABLE TO BREATHE EITHER THROUGH HIS MOUTH OR THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS. ISN’T THAT GREAT?

MWEHEHEHEHE- get out of here, you! I’m the narrator here. You stick to killing people.

Alright, let’s see what’s going on here… oh, it looks like Ironside is dead. He has suffocated. Sorry about that. I guess it’s about time for day time, then.

---

When the sun came up, two things were readily apparent.

First, the fenceposts that had been protecting the space ship now appeared to be defunct.

Second, they heard tires in the distance and saw smoke off to the south. Somebody had followed them, and they were heading right for the camp.

This round's gonna last 24 hours.

The choices are: Investigate the Ship and Run Away

FINALLY. It's about time. I was wondering how long it would take to attract that murder.

Word to the scummos:

You missed him! :smartass:

Double A is back from the dead to haunt us. Vote: Double A

investigate the ship written in red

The ghost of choxorn pokes askthepizzaguy's corpse with a stick. The stick partially melts and becomes stuck to askthepizzaguy.

The ghost of choxorn elects to wield his new askthepizzaguy-on-a-stick to fight off Coldenskians.

Why Ironside? I don't understand that choice, could you possibly shed some light on that?

vote: edse

It's quite possible that it's a full bluff from ATPG:s side. Gives the SK a more mafia hunting profile for a while.

Of course, I'm not exactly approving the murder of me.

Vote: edse

Vote: Investigate the Ship

More later...

I had a feeling this was the case; IIRC you've done this before. Well done. :bow:

Vote: Investigate the Sheep

Please remember that the day is only 24 hours long. I would like to have some time to defend myself if you present some erroneous scan or similar.

Why no proper vote Jarema?

Vote: Elite Ferret

Investigate the Ship

I'm not sure if 24 hours is gonna be enough to get people in here in time.

Wow! A lot of words together! But I agree it is a good question and another is, why his name is in blue? :inquisitive:

Well - I am persistant, but not I hope to the point of bloody mindedness. Your last few posts have actually seemed quite townie under pressure and whats more I think your vote is actually a good shout. robbiecon's post smells of newly recruited scum. unvote: Riedquat vote: Robbiecon

Either edse or Jarema are scum, because that kill on Pizzaguy seemed to be a desperate attempt to stop him for killing one of them. I am going to go with edse...Vote:edse

Very good slight-of-hand by Pizzaguy...still sort-of confused as to why he would do that other then for fun though.:laugh4:

Let's check out the ship...Vote: Investigate the Ship

Edse: It was more to see how you'd react to the insinuation of actual evidence. I have some vague misgivings, and your eagerness to respond to them, and awareness of the time constraints have reinforced them.

And why would the first thing you think of be 'an erroneous scan'. I don't believe that there has been a Claim of Detective in this game.

My vote stays where it is...
