Based on prior experience, edse's statement leads me to believe he is town.
Based on being wrong all the damn time, lynch edse.
I have no idea how to respond to this.Quote:

Plan:
NOBODY HAS ANY CLUE WHAT TO FREAKING DO - 7 (classical_hero, Choxorn, edse, Ironside, Jarema, wideyedwanderer, Visorslash)
Round ended. Standby for write-up.
EVEN IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DECIDE, YOU HAVE STILL MADE A CHOICE
[WAKE CYCLE 7]
The seven remaining Space Cadets spent the majority of the day accusing each other and running to hide when the occasional deafening roar sounded closer than usual. Without anyone to lead them, their debate quickly devolved into chaos, with threats and accusations flying fast between them.
And what was more, nobody had any clue what they were supposed to do now. None of them were tech-savvy enough to figure out how to get the Harpoon back online, and for all intents and purposes they were stranded in the middle of a tropical rainforest filled with giant, ferocious predators.
They were pretty much screwed.
But there was one cadet who was more screwed than the rest, and that was edse. In their discussion of who they believed killed the Captain and Engineer and sabotaged the ship, his name kept coming up, and by the end of the day (that’s right, this planet actually had days and nights), he appeared to have drawn the ire of the majority of the group.
“We know it was you, edse. It’s the only outcome that makes sense. You always stood there with that smug look on your facing, always voting for Choxorn and not caring about what was going on. You must be guilty!”
“Look, it totally wasn’t me! It’s all just one crazy coincidence. You’ve got to believe me!”
“I say we shove a knife in his eye and burn his face off, just like he did to The King and SalmonSoil!”
“Yeah! Then we’ll stab him in the back and slit his throat. Just like Montmorency and Major Robert Dump!”
“Guys, wait! You can’t just do this. We’re a team, remember?”
“And then maybe we’ll feed him to one these giant monsters out here. Ahahahaha!”
The Space Cadets started picking up flaming pieces of wood from the fire they had built. A few of them produced pitchforks; where they had procured them was anyone’s guess. They started to slowly advance on edse, chanting for his death
“NOOOO! You’ll never take me alive!”
All the Space Cadets braced themselves, expecting edse to attack. Instead, he turned around and ran, sprinting away as quickly as he could from the campfire. A couple tried to chase after him, but he was just too fast. Before they had gone ten yards, he had already disappeared into the jungle.
Now bored and disappointed that they wouldn’t get to skewer him, they dropped their pitchforks and went back to sitting around.
---
edse looked back over his shoulder. Not an angry Space Cadet in sight. That was good. He might have just lost his job and his ride back home, but at least he was alive. It might be difficult living out here in the wilderness, but he was sure that given a few weeks he would be a regular Tarzan. Space Cadets always made the best frontiersmen, it was said.
edse slowed his sprint down to a walk. He was safe now. He kept moving, but slowly so that he could catch his breath. Every few seconds he would nervously look behind him to make sure he wasn’t being followed. It was during one of these moments that he walked straight into a tree trunk.
Upon getting his bearings, edse realized this was a very strange looking tree trunk. It was bigger than any of the other trees around, and it was kind of greenish in color. And it was covered in scales. And there were a few short white roots sticking out one side that looked conspicuously like toes.
It was the only tree of its kind in the- oh, wait. There’s another one that looks just like it right over there. It’s pretty funny, together they look like a pair of…
Legs. They are not trees. They are legs. edse looked up his heart slowly beating faster and faster. What he saw practically paralyzed him with fear. It roared with such force that edse was thrown off his feet and landed in the dirt.
There was a giant tyrannosaurus rex standing in front of him, and it looked pissed. What’s more, it was carrying a laser gun. Oh, they must be intelligent dinosaurs, thought edse. Then its gaping maw shot down and snapped him up, its terrible teeth killing him instantly.
---
Ok, it was getting really boring back at the campfire. There was literally nothing to do except poke the fire and make the flames bounce up in little different ways. Then something arrived to make things interesting.
It was a human-sized lizard with a cool techno-visor and a laser gun in hand. At first, the Space Cadets flipped out and were about to get their own laser guns. But then the lizard introduced himself quite civilly.
“Greetings, wanderers. I... am the Philosoraptor.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I do not know. But I am pondering it. In the meantime, you must come with me.”
“Wait, if you don’t know why you’re here, why do you need us to come with you?”
“These are the kinds of questions I ask myself all the time. I believe we will get along quite well.”
As suspicious as they were, the Space Cadets didn’t really have anything better to do, so they followed the Philosoraptor. Along the way, he shared them quite a few philosophical quandaries that he was thinking about, such as, “If guns don’t kill people, people kill people, then do toasters not toast toast, toast toasts toast?” and “Is there another word for synonym?” Usually, the cadets had no answer for him.
He led them on a long, winding trail through the jungle, and eventually they came to a clearing with a great pyramid. Up the steps of the pyramid they went, and when they were just outside the entance, the Philosoraptor stopped to talk.
“If Physics has laws, who governs it? This is a question I have pondered for many a year. But now I think I finally have an answer.”
“Well, what is it? What do you mean? Does Physics have a government?”
“No. The government of Physics was taken over long ago in a coup. Now those who rule over Physics have abused its power. They do not have its best interests at hand.”
“How can you know all of this?”
“Well, it is quite simple. One of you is a servant of the new rulers of Physics.”
“Which one of us is it?”
“I do not know.”
“If you know one of us is a bad guy, how do you not know which one?”
“This is a question I have asked myself since I first came across your group. I do not yet have an answer.”
“So if you can’t help us, why did you bring us here?”
“Hey now! I’m the one supposed to be asking the questions here. Inside this pyramid, there is a portal. I do not know where the portal goes. Nobody I have sent through there has ever returned.”
“How many people have you sent through?”
“None.”
“How many dinosaurs have you sent through?”
“Only nineteen. This portal leads to the place where the usurpers of Physics live.”
“How do you know that?”
“Somebody just told me.”
“Who?”
“I do not know. But I do know that now it is time for me to leave. But I don’t know why it is time. But I do know that I still have many things to ponder. And I don’t know if I will get to keep pondering them if I stay with you.”
And with that cryptic message, the Philoraptor vanished into the darkness of the jungle. The six remaining crew members decide to wait out the night here, and check out the portal in the morning.

NIGHT 2 (LOLWUT)
[SLEEP CYCLE 7]
The entrance chamber of the pyramid was large, and the six remaining Space Cadets had spread themselves out, distanced from each other on the floor. They had known implicitly that a traitor was among them all along; they had thought it was edse, and after they chased him away they were safe. The Philosoraptor, in his mysterious wisdom, had proved them wrong. He had confirmed the presence of the enemy, and after that the cadets found themselves unable to trust anyone.
Choxorn was standing out on the top level of the pyramid, just outside the entrance. He was thinking about edse, of whom he had been the main accuser. It was probably his fault that edse had been driven away, and according to the Philosoraptor he was apparently innocent. If he was still alive, maybe he would find his way back to join up with them again… but that seemed unlikely. This jungle was dangerous. He probably hadn’t survived. And if he had… well, they weren’t exactly welcoming to him the last time they saw him. He might want to stay away for fear of his own life.
“Watch out for those stairs. You might fall.”
Choxorn spun around. The voice had come from the entrance to the pyramid, but he couldn’t see anyone there. It was dark, though, and the other cadet might be just inside the doorway.
“I’ll be fine, thanks. I’ve used stairs before.”
“Well, that’s where I’m going to have to disagree with you.”
That time the voice had come from behind him, where he was just looking before. This was starting to get pretty creepy-
A hand grabbed the back of Choxorn’s neck. A foot swept out his legs from underneath him. Before he knew what was happening, Choxorn was tumbling down the stone steps, breaking and cracking bones as he went.
“I warned you about stairs, bro.”
Choxorn thought it was going to end, but it kept happening. He kept falling down and down again and again. He hadn’t realized how tall the pyramid had been. By the time he hit the bottom, he was bruised and bloody, and his skull had been cracked open.
As it happened, he landed right next to Ironside, who had been answering a call of nature. Upon seeing the body, Ironside promptly stopped answering a call of nature and started screaming for help. The he was all the way at the bottom of the pyramid, though, and the roars of the giant laser gun toting dinosaurs in the jungle drowned out his cries. There was no way anyone would hear him over that racket.
And then, before he knew it, another Space Cadet had shown up. He couldn’t see his face in the darkness, but boy was he relieved.
“Oh, I’m so glad someone’s here! It’s Choxorn, we have to help him!”
Choxorn was clearly beyond help.
“I warned him about the stairs. I told him.”
“Oh, you saw him fall? What happened?”
“I pushed him.”
Before Ironside could register what he had just been told, he had half a dozen shuriken sticking out of his chest. By the time he did register it, he had about two dozen more. There was scarcely a space on the front of his body that didn’t have a shuriken in it. He fell flat on his back, groaning in pain.
“Those shuriken are poisoned. You won’t bleed to death.”
Oh, that was good. At least the pain wouldn’t last too long.
“Instead, the poison will cause your blood to clot at the lacerations. After that, it will slowly attack all of your internal organs and force them to rupture. Soon you will be bleeding internally, but the blood will have nowhere to flow out to. You will become bloated. So bloated, in fact, that your eyeballs will explode, and blood will start gushing out of your ear canals. Then you will die.”
That didn’t sound so good after all. Ironside thought he might have preferred it if the Shinobi had just left the shuriken un-poisoned. But he had no such luck. The Shinobi vanished in the darkness, leaving him to die alongside his buddy Choxorn.
---
In the morning, the four remaining Space Cadets found the bodies at the base of the pyramid.
This was it. If they went through that portal in the pyramid, they would be facing off against the Space Krakens themselves, to save space from being destroyed. As noble a cause as there ever was.
But if they went through there now, they would only be stabbed in the back by the traitor, and it would all be for naught.
They had to catch the Shinobi now. Today. This was their final chance, and if they didn’t get it right, their mission would be a failure. This is it.

Will analyse CH, wew and Jarema after I write the prologue up for my game. I'm feeling Jarrema though.
I believe this image conveys my sentiments in regard to the town efforts throughout the whole game.

Goes to the other side, Choxorn and Edse are both likely lynch targets, lets go for one of them.Quote:

I understand from write-up that we have three options? Seafloor, surface, or time-machine?
And what is this thing with time machine? Can anyone volunteer to go into it? or is it associated with someones ability?

Was he member of all this scum factions? or a faction of his own? (like SK)?

And, vote: Jolt.
Why others are not voting??
Morgue because you're going to be killing us all?Quote:
Vote: Choxorn should paint the ship. But the name should be simpler. Morgue, that is
Conclusion from Jarrema: He's sliding along, playing it safe, and hiding in wagons. Doesn't post more then he has to. To me its scummy play and he plays a lot stronger as a townie, and especially the fact there is reveal on death and he barely comments on things pings me. I know he likes reveal on death, yet he is not scumhunting, he is just sliding through.
And you haven't done any sum hunting either. Pushes the edse lynch. (as long as no-one is voting me, thats good)Quote:

Out of the three, I think Jarrema is the scummiest.
Vote: Jarrema
Lynching edse and killing Choxorn on the same night was amatuerish.
Choxorn would have been a leading candidate for lynch today
For that reason I don't think Visor is mafia
Were there another lynch, Jarema ought to be lynched for this alone.Quote:

Another double-lynch would have put us into a 3-way final round. This is the usual, and much less of a strain for town to succeed in. You're breaking my heart, potential scum-Visor.Quote:

I'd like to say I also think Jarema is the ninja.
I will vote: wideyedwanderer, who seems most scummy to me.
I am not ninja. And using name I wanted to give for a ship is ridiculous.
This is the defense of Jarema-as-townie.Quote:

And of course he wouldn't aggrieve the one guy who hasn't yet voted.
What's your verdict, Pizza? Time is running out.
I love Visorslash, but if he were townie, he'd be dead by now.
You good folks need to realize the typically scummy behavior you find in Jarema and WEW is their ordinary behavior.
Visorslash is playing the role of supertownie/Askthepizzaguy and he's not convincing the real McCoy.
I agree with Pizza. classical_hero, WEW, and Jarema all survive an unusually high number of games as townies. Visorslash does not.
Been calling for Visor to be lynched...so obviously i agree as well.
Well Visorslash, as you're about to win based on the fact that you killed off all the townies who were dangerous to you, do you have anything to say in your defense, or would you like to favor us with some evil, maniacal laughter before the clock runs out?
interesting
I think I believe in your arguments, ATPG.
unvote; vote: VIsorslash who is trying so hard
ATPG has several good points, and Jarema's vote doesn't make sense if he's the last mafia.
Visorslash is the Ninja. Kill Him.
We are the .org. Resistance is futile.
Classical will not return in time. Where is the White Luck Warrior? He must make the path that he has already taken.
I'm rooting for Visor, he killed the right people and town wasn't even trying, victory should be mafia's :P
I am unable to make these deeper analysis of characters and play styles because I do not know the individual players as well
If it turns out to be Visor, then terrible luck for me, as I basically acted as an enabler by screening for zombies, contacting him, and giving him a general idea of how the pro town roles operate. But I attribute his survival to other events as well
The only thing I have to say in my defence is that you guys are wrong and I will enjoy pointing this out to you after the game, and that Jarrema is scum.Quote:

The evidence and the clues are there. Do not let Jarrema slip by, do not let the scum win.
It's cool, Visor, 6 hours = clincher for you either way?
Note: I noticed my Atomic Space Clock had an error in it.
They do that sometimes when you're traveling at relativistic speeds.
It should now reflect the correct SINGULARITY ARRIVAL TIME.
-CHAOTIX.
The White Luck Warrior - the death befpre the death he had not yet prevented after the death - has not manifested.
Visorslash will now attain the Absolute and become the Thousandfold Scum.

Oh, and I suppose this is also fitting:

no, really
I am probably to blame more than anyone else
I kept you around, because I wanted to frame people. When you revealed I killed you so it would look like it couldn't be me, because I had known you since D2, and I would've killed you off earlier.Quote:

The four Space Cadets all eyed each other suspiciously for most of the day, but by the end they had come to an agreement. The CHeeky Artificial Onboard Theoretical Intelligence eXecutive, also known as CHAOTIX, was there to assist them.
CHAOTIX: “Please place your votes now. The one who is determined to be a traitor will be sent directly to SPACE JAIL via remote portal, and the remaining three of you will proceed to the Plane of the Great Ones through the portal in the pyramid.”
Visorslash: “Jarema.”
classical_hero: “Jarema.”
Jarema: “Visorslash.”
wideyedwanderer: “Uhh…”
CHAOTIX: “Time is up. Jarema has been found guilty by jury of peers.”
wideyedwanderer: “Hey, wait! I didn’t vote yet!”
CHAOTIX: “It is too late. The singularity is approaching.”
Before any of them could move, a dark void opened up and closed around Jarema. As quickly as it had arrived, it disappeared, taking Jarema with it. That was it. The only thing to do now was proceed through the portal.
The cadets all lined up before the portal inside the pyramid. It looked similar to the dark void that had swallowed up Jarema. They decided it was probably some form of advanced wormhole technology. In the end, it didn’t matter. On the count of three, they all rushed through it…
And arrived in the Plane of the Great Ones. To them, it appeared to be just a vast, white plain of nothingness, completely flat and devoid of features. So it might have been fairer to say they were standing on top of the Plane of the Great Ones. That was all there was to it. The Space Whale hadn’t been kidding when he said that the Krakens had flattened space and destroyed the third dimension.
classical_hero: “So, uhh… what do we do now?”
???: “I will answer that question.”
Suddenly, the plane below them darkened until it was pitch black. The sky (or whatever it was) above them became a swirl of red and black and violet, angry and dangerous. It was as if the world itself wanted them dead.
And standing in front of them was a Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie.
Visorslash: “Jolt?? I thought we sent you to Space Jail!”
Jolt: “Fool! This IS Space Jail, or haven’t you realized it yet? The only place repulsive and horrifying enough to house all the criminals of the universe is this very plane.”
wideyedwanderer: “So Jarema is here as well?”
And just like that, Jarema was standing next to them. He had been there all along, but only appeared when the conversation concerned him. That was how the Plane of the Great Ones worked, apparently.
Jarema: “I am here. But this begs the question: why would CHAOTIX send Jolt here if we were just going to have to fight him later on? Did he know this was where Space Jail lead?”
CHAOTIX: “OF COURSE I DID. WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE ONE WRITING THIS STORY?”
The voice of CHAOTIX was no longer cheery and helpful. It was booming, terrible, and in a second they saw what it was coming from. Out of the swirling cloud of darkness descended a giant, horrific being that could only be described as a SPACE KRAKEN. It was as far away as the horizon, but the cadets eyes played tricks on them, and it seemed like he was right in front of them. He was just THAT big. The Space Kraken’s tentacles reached all the way out to where they were standing and hovered over them, threatening at any time to swoop down a crush them all.
CHAOTIX: “I AM THE ONE WHO PUT YOU ALL ON THIS PATHETIC ADVENTURE. I SMASHED THE GALACTIC CHUTZPAH INTO THE ASTEROID CARRYING MY SERVANT, THE PIRATE NINJA ROBOT ZOMBIE. I SENT YOUR FRIEND BACK IN TIME TO BLOW UP THE SHIP’S ENGINE, SO YOU WOULD CRASH-LAND ON THE SPACE WHALE’S PLANET. I AM THE GREAT INKYNESS. I AM THE USURPER OF PHYSICS. I AM THE CAUSE OF EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WENT WRONG ON YOUR JOURNEY. I AM THE SPACE KRAKEN!”
Jarema: “But why? If you had just left us alone, we would have never posed a threat to you.”
CHAOTIX: “I DO NOT DECIDE. I SIMPLY DO. AS THE AUTOPILOT, MY PROGRAMMING DICTATED THAT I ASSIST THE CAPTAIN WITH HIS ADVENTURES. SINCE NO ADVENTURING WAS BEING DONE, I CREATED AN ADVENTURE FOR HIM, SO THAT I COULD ASSIST WITH IT.”
classical_hero: “But you didn’t help at all! You just said you made everything worse!”
CHAOTIX: “I HELPED THE ADVENTURE TO KEEP GOING. MY PROGRAMMING SAID NOTHING ABOUT HELPING TO MAKE IT A SUCCESS.”
Visorslash: “I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. Besides, how are you even a rogue AI if you’re supposed to be a Space Kraken?”
CHAOTIX: “CAN IT, VISORSLASH. THIS CHAT HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH. IT’S TIME YOU SHOWED YOUR TRUE COLORS.”
Visorslash: “Oh, very well.”
Visorslash vanished in a puff of smoke, only to appear standing right next to Jolt. He was wearing his Shinobi gear and he held a katana in each hand, his arms outstretched. Jolt bared his metal zombie fangs and whipped out his own laser katana along with a space musket. Two rocket launchers popped out of his shoulder.
Visorslash: “Man, this is going to be such a slaughter. Can’t we at least give them a fighting chance to make it more fun?”
???: “I, ZACCINO, IMMORTAL, CAN GRANT THAT WISH.”
Out of nowhere in particular, the massive Blubth-B’Glub sailed into the Plane of the Great Ones. For some reason, Askthepizzaguy and Montmorency were sitting on his back. They said something about having seen the future, they had known Visorslash was guilty all along, but obviously they came too late to affect the living cadets’ decisions. Their voices were drowned out by Blubth-B’Glub’s magnificent SPACE WHALE NOISES.
ZACCINO: “I, BLUBTH-B’GLUB, IMMORTAL, SHALL BESTOW UPON YE THREE HEROES ONE FINAL GIFT. YOU MUST USE IT TO DEFEAT HIS INKINESS AND SAVE SPACE ONCE AND FOR ALL.”
A bright, shining light radiated from the giant Space Whale. It was so bright that the intensity looped back to zero and everything went black. When the darkness lifted, wideyedwanderer, classical_hero, and Jarema had changed drastically.
Jarema leveled up!
+500 Strength
+500 Defense
+9001 Magic
+3000 Resistance
+2000 Speed
Jarema has become the Warlock!
wideyedwanderer leveled up!
+3000 Strength
+500 Defense
+2000MagicChi
+500 Resistance
+9001 Speed
wideyedwanderer has become the Master!
classical_hero leveled up!
+9001 Strength
+500 Defense
+3000 Magic
+500 Resistance
+2000 Speed
classical_hero has become the Demi-God!
Now the three of them could truly be called heroes. Lightning crackled at Jarema’s fingertips. wideyedwanderer looked like he was ready to let loose a thousand punches in a second with his sweet white karate uniform. And classical_hero, shirtless and sporting muscles on top of his muscles, was carrying a sword at least as heavy as he was. But the question remained.
Jarema: “This stuff is cool, but how are we supposed to kill a Space Kraken with this?”
ZACCINO: “DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE SQUID. JUST TAKE CARE OF THE NINJAS.”
wideyedwanderer: “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?”
But Blubth-B’Glub didn’t answer. Instead, he whipped his flipper and kicked off straight towards CHAOTIX at ramming speed.
CHAOTIX: “HEY, BACK OFF FATTY. THIS ISN’T YOUR FIGHT ANYMORE. GET OUT OF HERE. NO REALLY. HEY WAIT-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!”
ZACCINO: “I, BLUBTH-B’GLUB, IMMORTAL, SHALL DELIVER THE REVENGE OF THE GREAT ONES UPON YE!”
Without warning, the Shinobi and Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie sprang into action, nearly catching the three heroes off-guard. Their Space Whale power was on-par with Space Kraken power, though, and they reacted accordingly.
Visorslash and wideyedwanderer got themselves into a duel of blinding speed, katanas matching blow for blow with bare fist and foot. They were so fast the other three couldn’t see them, but that was okay, because Jolt was more than enough for the other two.
Jolt fired rockets and lasers more or less continuously from his upgraded Pirate Ninja Zombie Chassis, which had even more options and was even more souped up than BSmith’s had been. And it wasn’t scratched, either. It was all Jarema could do to bring them down with fireballs and lightning bolts or deflect them with hastily-conjured mirrors before them struck him or classical_hero.
Because classical_hero himself certainly wasn’t doing a whole lot of defending. He charged up his massive sword with the lighting of the gods and let loose with a devastating rush of attacks against Jolt. But while Jolt was firing rockets and lasers with one of his duo cores, his other microprocessor was concentrating on dueling with classical_hero, matching his giant sword with the impossibly-sharp laser katana and rapid-fire plasma musket.
The Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie was stuck in a sword lock, struggling to hold back the sheer force behind classical_hero’s offense. He countered by extending his robot neck out like a tentacle and biting the Demi-God in the wrist with zombie fangs, as sharp as Memnon's had ever been. classical_hero gasped in pain, dropping his sword, and then bashed Jolt’s extended face with a beefy fist.
classical_hero: “Crap, am I gonna be infected now?”
Jarema: “I’ll take care of that.”
With a wave of his hand, Jarema cast his Cure All Diseases spell and healed classical_hero before he started to turn grey and metallic and began to sprout peg legs and parrots like thefluffyone93 had.
Meanwhile, wideyedwander had gained the upper hand over Visorslash, pushing him on the defensive. With a single awesome roundhouse kick, he shattered one of Visor’s katanas , and the follow-up punch sent him sprawling. Jumping out of hyperspeed just in time to see an opportunity, he launched an epic CHI BLAST straight at the already-reeling Jolt, which sent him flying. He landed with a thud on the nondescript black plain, and his chassis gave a loud crunch where the back of it had connected.
wideyedwanderer: “Damn I’m good.”
classical_hero: “You can say that aga-URKH!”
Visorslash: “What did you say? I didn’t catch that.”
Suddenly it was looking like classical_hero’s low defense scores were finally catching up with him. A katana sticking right through his manly, beefy chest was causing all of his life’s blood to run out of him, dark and thick.
Jarema was about to cast his Cure All Wounds spell, but then Visorslash threw a Ninja Silence Card at him, causing his throat to close up and swallow his words. And wideyedwanderer had spent a pretty good portion of his Chi on that last impressive attack. He rushed to engage Visorslash and defend his allies, but his reactions were comparatively sluggish.
Unfortunately for the heroes, Jolt’s chassis damage appeared to be purely cosmetic. He was most definitely not totaled; maybe a break light or two knocked out, but very much serviceable. And what was more, he was angry. His engine roared as he charged back into the fray.
wideyedwanderer had held off the Visorslash easily enough, but two Ninja-class enemies was just too much for him. He blocked one katana slash but took a nasty cut to his side, deflected a stab but took a kick in the face. Soon enough the Shinobi and the Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie overwhelmed him. A slash from the laser katana took off his right hand at the elbow, and he was finished. A backhanded blow from Visorslash sent him sprawling.
It was just then that Jarema was finally getting over his Silence. Seeing the desperation of the cause, he splurged all his remaining MP on his most powerful attack.
A dark aura surrounded him as he was lifted up into the air by the force of his own spell. Without warning, giant tendrils of darkness shot from his body, encircling the two Kraken-worshipers. His eyes glowed red and then black, and his face twisted in abject rage.
He screamed at Visorslash and Jolt, but they had absolutely no idea what he was saying. All they knew was that those dark tendrils were draining their HP, and fast.
Jolt: “WHAT IS THE PLAN?”
Visorslash: “I don’t know, man. This could get iffy.”
Jolt: “BEST COME UP WITH SOMETHING SOON. YOU DID WIN THE GAME, AFTER ALL.”
Visorslash: “Oh, I guess you’re right.”
Suddenly, Visorslash used his Spirit-Drain Ninjutsu skill! All of Jarema’s magical energy started draining into Visorslash’s body.
Without any magic power to hold up his horrible eldritch incantation, the spell collapsed. Literally. The tendrils shot back into Jarema. They had to expend their energy from somewhere, so they took it directly from Jarema himself. The darkness raged across his body one instant, and in the next he was nothing but dust, disintegrated from the force of the attack.
And so they stood.
Visorslash and Jolt, the sole victors.
The three heroes had been defeated, their rebellion against the Space Kraken crushed before it had even begun.
The Space Kraken himself was nowhere to be seen. He and Blubth-B’Glub had been destroyed in a matter-antimatter implosion off in the horizon.
Visorslash: “So, what do we do now?”
Jolt: “NOW, WE MAKE THE RULES.”

THANKS FOR PLAYING!
Role PMs/Mini-Commentary tomorrow.
Right now I am tired; that was a big write-up.
Hope you all enjoyed, the write-up and the game in general. I know it was fun for me!
Awesome writeup. And so are the other ones. Thanks for the game Chaotix, I had a blast.
Hahahaha, this was a epic one.Quote:

Once again, well done everyone.
Bravo. Just Bravo.
............
Does this count as a victory for the robot and pirate as well?
Don't forget about the zombie! But no, if Jolt had survived then yes, but he didn't, so...Quote:

But still loses. :tongue:Quote:

great game, great descriptions!
cant wait for role pms...
Pizza, honestly, it couldn't have been anyone but me or Jarrema in the final day, so it wasn't that hard to make a decision.
Translation: Pizza is god.Quote:

All I'm saying, Visorslash, is that you will never slip that fake analysis on everyone remaining, with quotations, past me in any game. If you ever try that stunt, which I invented, patented, and perfected, you'd better make sure I'm dead every time.
What if I'm town?Quote:

Hearty congratulations to you Visor, and to the lesser beings who are also scum.
High-fives to the townies who paid attention, particularly the ones who sniffed out Visor a while ago.
Yeah? What if town had an extra 12 hours to decide?Quote:

You're just lucky the round ended when it did, or your victory would have been quite reversed. :bounce:
Atheotes was the earliest I believe, whose main contribution to it was: please lynch Visor. Hardly convincing stuff. The main problem was after my whole fake analysis thing with the dead guys. I barely garnered a look at bar the WeW (which was a bad move on my part) and the final day.Quote:

Hey, the win is legit, you convinced the right people to lynch the wrong people and killed the rest. Just saying that it could have gone either way and been a deserving victory in either case.
:shakehands:
atheotes isn't much for case-building. That doesn't mean he's not right, and he deserves props.
You make me feel SOOO stupid. I never really thought you were mafia, before ATPG does not post reasons in front of my eyes.Quote:

Remember, atheotes said it first.
He's also a player in this game. True story.
Then why did you kill me?Quote:

No-one would've voted you. But who else would I kill? And at the end if not you, then Classical Hero, so Wew, Jarrema, you and me. And you probably would've came around to voting me, and so would Jarrema. But classical I didn't think would. I thought Jarrema would straight OMGUS me. :laugh4:Quote:

At that point, it would have been impossible to get everyone coordinated to do it, plus the samurai was dead
I might be drunk, but I'm pretty damn happy to win as the role i have always wanted, I played a damn fine game. Thank you all for the fun. I may never make the endgame again, but who cares. This is what I have wanted since I started.
Thanks chaotix.
You were a SK? I still do not understand system used in this game (waiting for descriptions)
Funny thing about that is that I had already sent the order to kill you before you started acting all piratey.Quote:

Aye, Chaotix mentioned that after I PMed him about my piratey reveal.Quote:
