Daggers in the Night [Concluded]

[Choxorn]

Then why did you vote for The Stranger initially? (And are still voting for him)

I thought other people were voting for Kage, and now it's pointless to vote for him.

[Andres]

Day 10 - Conclusion

Tempers flared as the souls of the dead seemed more lively than the souls of the living.

The Naib stepped forward, seemingly irritated by certain folks not voting. But someone who was usually talkative was strangely silent after losing a grand debate with the ghost of a metallic cow (), and it made everyone more suspicious of him. After counting the votes, a smile crept across the Naib's face. She snapped her fingers and one of the daggers brought her a lasso.

"Oh, I have been waiting for this for a long, long time. The Stranger, step forward please."

The Stranger looked at the Naib, and saw the gleam in her eye, and decided that running was his best option. Immediately the Naib was after him, easily keeping up with The Stranger as he tried to scamper away. He ducked around corners, he climbed up fire escapes, he jumped from rooftop to rooftop, but the Naib was following him and not even breaking a sweat.

He eventually got turned back around, and dashed through the crowd. The Naib seemed to be enjoying herself, and began swinging the lasso. With one skilled toss, the lasso went over The Stranger and dropped down to his legs and began to tighten. The Stranger went down like a sack of potatoes, landing in the rocky sand face first.

Diana Abnoba pulled the rope as tight as it would go, and began to hogtie the young dagger with great enthusiasm. Suddenly he yelled: "You can't do this! I still have so much inspiration, so much to tell you! I have all this poetry in me and it needs to get out before I die!"

The Naib ignored him until a few daggers, slowly stepped forward, each of them holding a book in their hands.

"Ehm, hm, *cough*"

The Naib paused, seemingly annoyed.

"We bought his book and before he dies, we'd like him to sign it. You never know if he becomes famous after dead."

The Naib sighed, untied The Stranger and waved her hand. "Hurry up, will ya! I haven't got all day!"

The daggers quickly stepped over to The Stranger who signed their books, his eyes covered in tears.

When the small interruption was over, the Naib grabbed the rope and pulled it even tighther than the previous time. When The Stranger was tied up good and tight, his face expressing pain, she pulled out a pair of silver six-shooters and began shooting them into the air.

"Yeeee-hah!" the Naib shouted, as she began dragging the hogtied Stranger back to the center of the crowd.

"What are you going to do to me?" stammered The Stranger.

"You do remember all those lovely negative comments about women, right?" said the Naib.

"Yeah, it's quite obvious that a male-dominated society would have easily caught the Ancient One by now, and the only reason that we haven't is because of the total incompetence of the female establishment. You women are more concerned with your purses and your nails than you are about catching scum!" began The Stranger.

The Naib just stood there, shaking her head.

Scienter stepped forward from the crowd. "Let me do it, please... I promise it will be painful. Please, oh please..."

The wind began to blow, and it seemed to whisper in the voices of Secura and Renata... crying out for the blood of The Stranger.

The Naib listened to the wind with her eyes closed, and nodded solemnly.

"I understand you wish to do this, but you elected me Naib. And as a result, the responsibility.... and the pleasure.... is all mine," she said, smiling sardonically.

With a beastly scream, Diana jumped on top of The Stranger and pinned him to the ground. She began strangling him with the rope, but quickly switched to her bare hands. The Stranger gasped and struggled but there was no escape.

"Die! Die! Die!" roared Diana with pleasure. She lifted up his head and bashed it against the ground repeatedly, never loosening her grip. His face turned blue.

Just before The Stranger lost consciousness, Diana let go. The Stranger coughed and choked, and he struggled to catch his breath. But Diana lifted up her silver dagger and began stabbing him in the chest... in the stomach... just stabbing wildly. Anywhere the dagger landed would do.

The Stranger screamed in pain, as Diana stabbed him in the heart. Then she took her pair of silver revolvers and pointed them at The Stranger's head, and pulled both triggers. There wasn't much left of his head when it was over.

The other daggers were slightly disturbed by the level of violence, but at least one voice in the crowd yelled with approval, and Diana herself looked quite pleased.

She walked over to a wooden chest and opened it. In it were two swords; it were the blades of the former Naibs.

Diana grabbed a sword, stepped to The Strangers' body and cut off his both legs, screaming "This is for Secura!" Then she took the second sword and cut off the two arms, yelling "And this is for Renata!"

Suddenly, Scienter ran forward, holding her sword firmly in her hand and cut off The Strangers' head. "And this one is for me!!!!"

Both women then started to pour gasoline over the body parts. They stepped backwards and both lit a cigarette. Inhaling the smoke, they looked at each other and grinned. Two cigarettes were thrown simultaneously at the remnants of The Stranger. A big "woosh" sound could be heard and soon, all that was left of the talented poet were dust and ashes.

Scienter went back to her place and Diana, finally calmed down enough to be able to speak, softly said.

"Thank you for electing me as your Naib again. I'll do the best I can to save us from our enemy."

It's now night. PM's please. Night will last for +/- 23 hours.

[Secura]

Kawaii. <3

You went totally overboard in killing him, but it just seemed so fitting... masterful.

[Diana Abnoba]

Thanks Andres for not changing to much of that write up and the thing you did change/add were great!

Thanks Secura, I thought you all would like this write up (well maybe not The Stranger). Sorry man, but you said be bloody, and give it my all. And you earned it.

Note to the rest of you men, don't mess with the ladies.

[Scienter]

Bravo! Excellent write up!

[Askthepizzaguy]

I actually toned it down from where it was probably going to go, but Andres apparently decided it was too tame, and ended up putting in almost exactly what I had wanted to begin with, including the fire.

Take that, censorship!

[The Stranger]

bravo i couldn't have wished for anything better :)

[Choxorn]

That was awesome.

[Double A]

Hey guys, what's up?

[pevergreen]

Hey guys, what's up?

Bru!

[Double A]

[KukriKhan]

No lightning, no diabolical laughter accompanying this kill. Just another dead townie, and lots of back-slapping.

Reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

Honestly, if town wants to win, town better get crackin', and finding REAL scum.

[Choxorn]

Like you?

[Diana Abnoba]

Hey guys, what's up?

Your life, if you don't pay more attention to this game.

Been there, done that.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Just because you vigged someone, it doesn't mean they're guilty. That's a common mistake. I remember TinCow thought I was guilty in TGFIII for that reason.

[Beskar]

I remember in Khaan mafia, I got a mafia lynched and the host made him look like a townie. Really put egg on my face, as I claimed detective and apparently lied to the town.

Was only half-a-lie, he was a mafia.

[The Stranger]

difference is, beskar = always mafia

TS = never mafia.

[Beskar]

difference is, beskar = always mafia

I wish I was always Mafia, far from it.

Everytime I score a mafia role, it is a sucky one where you got to share kills, and there are superduper pro-towns and third parties which make the mafia look like a complete joke.

[pevergreen]

difference is, beskar = always mafia

TS = never mafia.

See, TS, thats wrong.

You have been mafia before.

[The Stranger]

woo... 1 time -_-'

[Kagemusha]

I would like to be also mafia once a while.

[Beskar]

I would like to be also mafia once a while.

Says Mr. Twice out of his two games.

[TinCow]

Just because you vigged someone, it doesn't mean they're guilty. That's a common mistake. I remember TinCow thought I was guilty in TGFIII for that reason.

Yeah, but citing me is easy because I'm always wrong.

I will say that Andres has always put clues about the game into his write-ups, via the descriptions and the order of the actions. On that basis, I do think that Kukri's vig does make him look like he had a role. Then again, I'm always wrong.

[Double A]

Your life, if you don't pay more attention to this game.

*gulp*

Yes mam.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

1 (presumable town) special role. 3 mafia. Kage is known, and since the kills dropped, it's possible we got a slave. That gives 50/50 odds of Kukri being mafia. And Sasaki thinks he sounds townie. So put it at 90/10 :p

I don't know that the slaves would be described like that either.

[Niklas]

Sasaki, that a rather big "presumable" you got there. Your whole reasoning is based on the special role being town-aligned, which I don't see why we should assume.

I think Kukri's lack of comment on his own role is suspicious enough to not consider him town. If he were, and is now dead, why hasn't he shared what he knows with the rest of the town?

No dead reveal is a common enough rule, and seems sporting anyhow.

I don't really see the special role being mafia, doesn't make that much sense. That was the way in the first godfather, but the mafia walked away with that one, and in the next two godfathers it was a pro town role. Since the mafia appear to have been beefed up with Kage's lynch escape, I doubt there is a 4th.

Essentially you guys are betting against reason and the odds because you "can't be sure" but of course that works much better as an argument against your position.

[Diana Abnoba]

I think the this "special role" in this game is neutral.

[TinCow]

I think the this "special role" in this game is neutral.

I agree, but I think it's irrelevant in any case. Without any evidence of the role's alignment, it must be assumed to be hostile to the town in some manner.
