Star Fox- Lylat Wars [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

BTW: Atpg, why do you have put down as abstain? Because I missed an h when voting for shlin28?

I have no idea.

Fixed.

[Romanic]

vote: wideyewanderer

[hell_hound]

I have to agree with the case against vote:shlin28. Why are you voting for wideyedwanderer Romanic?

[shlin28]

Guess I'm going to be lynched...

Might as well make my case one more time:

I first came under suspicion because I commented on this post:

Tis me, or do we have a nice mix of Cornerian and Venomian players voting for no lynch? Hmmm...

Which, at first glance, clearly deserves more attention focused on it. Hence I commented on this.

But later, when I retracted this, it suddenly screams "scummy" to everyone. Now, I know from personal experience that YLC is a very good player and it could have easily been a ruse from him to test other players, so after thinking over this point after a few hours, it should not be surprising that I retracted what I said previously.

Now, if I am scummy, why would I act this way? In fact, it would be far easier to lay low and use YLC's post as an easy defence. But, I am not scummy, so after thinking over what he said, I 'un-FoSed' him.

Then, to justify me voting for someone, I voted a person who was relatively new and who correlates with who I thought the killer is, which is seen by many as scummy once again. But at least this was a better justification than "He's a Venomian! Lynch him!"

This is quite a poor defence and is now totally irrelevant, since I am to be lynched. But I am going to use the last few seconds of my life to demand an explanation from YLC regarding the post quoted above. Was it just a simple ruse, or was it really a hint at your role? Unvote: WEW, Vote: YLC

That's all from me.

[Romanic]

I have to agree with the case against vote:shlin28. Why are you voting for wideyedwanderer Romanic?

At this point I'm picking the leading candidate who's more likely to be a villain. I don't have any argument to add to the ongoing discussion.

[Nightbringer]

vote:wideyewanderer
my reasoning is pretty much the same as romanic's, i saw what i saw as a scummy post by him and dont see schlin as a villain

[wideyedwanderer]

Venomians are not the bad guys... They just want to survive in this hostile Universe. After all, what is the difference between the Venomians and Cornerians? Both sides want to outnumber the other by the game's end (i.e. killing the other group), yet somehow you consider the Cornerians to be better? How? Why are you so species-ist?

Just lynching Venomians is not the answer my friend, only by working together can the Venomians and Cornerians destroy the ultimate evil once and for all. Indeed, attempting to bringing about the death of not one, but two Venomians would hinder the Conerian cause, and certainly nothing to be proud about.

Of course, I don't really believe this, because I am just an evil alien trying to destroy everything you loved, right?

Vote: wideyedwanderer

Okay, I see. I was mistaken. I thought Venomians were bad guys. Venom=bad guy from Star Fox, right? (Or was that spiderman?)

Chaotix said I've never been innocent in a game, but this is untrue. I was innocent in NOTW once (although I entered as a reserve.) I was the cult leader in mafionaire, and I was mafia in Star Wars. This is my fourth game, so there's not a lot to go on me. I'm trying to participate way more than I did when I was mafia (when I purposefully kept low in the beginning) and now people are suspicious of me. Great strategy.

[wideyedwanderer]

I don't know what WIFMUS and WOMGUS and the other accronyms stand for, so if someone could shed some light, it would be much appreciated.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

WIFOM: Wine in front of me.

OMGUS: Oh my god you suck!

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...previous-games

glossary is in here for all these terms. I would explain them more in depth but you are better off just reading this

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't know what WIFMUS and WOMGUS and the other accronyms stand for, so if someone could shed some light, it would be much appreciated.

WIFOM: Wine in front of me.

Based on a scene from the Princess Bride, it refers to the infinite regress that happens when you try to judge someone based on what you know of them, and try to infer from that how they would behave. Would they place poisoned wine in front of you, or themselves? Are they the type who would place the wine as far away as possible, or as close as possible? Would they try to reverse that, just to bluff? What if they want you to think they would reverse it, and thusly, double bluff? What about a triple bluff?

That kind of thinking goes in circles. I have a bit of experience with it....


OMGUS: Oh my god u suck

You voted for me, so therefore, I vote for you, because after all, oh my god you suck for voting for me!

[wideyedwanderer]

Thanks for the explanation. To be clear, I don't believe my voting for johnhughtom falls into the OMGUS category, since my reason for the vote, as I previously explained, was he has not participated much and then voted for me without any explanation.

[Skooma Addict]

I think a practically confirmed Cornerian is less likely to be guilty than shlin.

vote: shlin

Unless he's scum/neutral with a perk for killing the venomians. Vote: wideyedwanderer for now. I have a feeling about you so if you can give a good answer to this question I'll remove my vote. Why are you hunting another town faction?

That was me, not Chaotix. Sorry, forgot about the NOTW. On the other hand, you did vig kill several innocents...
As to mafionare, cult leader is still technically not innocent.

The Cornerians and Venomians need to be bigger than the other to achieve their personal goal.

Day Phase Three

General Pepper: Reports indicate that ships have been disappearing in the Meteo Asteroid Field. It's too dangerous to go in there!

Fox McCloud: I hear you, General, but I'm still missing members of my team. I can't leave Falco and Slippy hanging.... plus I still have a score to settle with Star Wolf. But I'll be on my toes!

Stage Three: Meteo Asteroid Field

Good luck!

You can watch this video for fun, but it doesn't quite fit into the story.
Instead, click on the music below it to accompany the writeup. Watch this video afterward if you want.

Click for music.

Fox McCloud: Stay close to me, Peppy. Things could get heated really quick. Do Falco and Slippy appear on your scanners?

Peppy Hare: Not yet, but I'll keep an eye out for 'em.

Fox McCloud: Rob, is everything OK? How is the Great Fox holding up?

Rob64: Great Fox is OK.

Fox McCloud: I don't see anything. Usually there's more activity in this sector...

Peppy Hare: Fox, we've got incoming!

Katt Monroe: What are a couple of handsome fellas like you doing in a dangerous place like this?



Fox McCloud: Katt? Where'd you come from?

Katt Monroe: Are you sayin' you're not happy to see my pretty face?

Fox McCloud: No of course not, it's great to see you again. We're looking for Slippy and Falco.

Katt Monroe: You'd better not have left Falco in danger, little man.

Peppy Hare: We got separated.... Star Wolf ambushed us.

Katt Monroe: I'll help you look for him. But you'd better take good care of him when we find him.... this Kitty has claws.

Fox McCloud: Ha ha, I'll keep that in mind.

Peppy Hare: Thanks, Katt.

Katt Monroe: I'll go this way.

Peppy Hare: I'll take the right.

Fox McCloud: I'll go down the middle.

shlin28: I cannot allow you to go any further.

Fox McCloud: Whoops, spoke too soon. Who said that?

shlin28: Haha.... you'll find out soon enough. You've got three seconds to say your prayers, Star Jackal.

Fox McCloud: It's Star Fox, actually.

shlin28: IT DOESN'T MATTER what your name is. Do you know who I am? I am the greatest villain you've ever seen.

Peppy Hare: I don't see it on my scanners. Do you, Fox?

Fox McCloud: No.... it must have a cloaking device. Evasive maneuvers!

shlin28: Don't talk about me in the third person while I'm right in front of you. It angries up my blood.

Fox McCloud: My sincerest apologies. Who are you?

shlin28: You don't recognize me, yet, you ignorant little worm? I'm known throughout the galaxy! I've even handed you defeat before, during the Battle of Corneria! My legend only continues to grow.... and soon, you will be relegated to the dustbin of history!

Peppy Hare: I don't show any energy readings. This one must have one heck of a cloak.

shlin28: My energy is OVER 9000. Your scanners can't see it because you've got obsolete sensors. Maybe you should fly home before it is too late, and upgrade your ships! Hahahaha!

Fox McCloud: ......Thanks for the advice, but I'll take my chances. When did you say you defeated me, again?

shlin28: You don't remember me? I am insulted! And when I get insulted it angries up my blood! I am that which swallows entire star systems in the blink of an eye! I am the crown prince of chaos, the duke of doom, the sultan of sexy! I am your worst nightmare incarnate! Are you prepared for your death, Star Raccoon?

Fox McCloud: I already told you, it's "Star Fox". And yeah, I'm kind of curious to see what you look like now.

shlin28: That's a foolish, foolish mistake! It will be your last and most dire mistake! You're a fool, a foolish fool! Now I shall do you the honor of ending your miserable life!!!

Fox McCloud: I'm waiting....

shlin28: Hold on just a minute... I'm still speechifying! Don't rush me, don't rush me.

Fox McCloud: What's wrong? All talk?

shlin28: No. No I definitely have the power to back up these awesome words of doom. This is your last chance to escape with your life!

Peppy Hare: I spot him, Fox, he's hiding behind this asteroid.

shlin28: Uh....... pay no attention to the man behind the asteroid.

Fox McCloud: Here I come!

shlin28: Ok, I'm going to leave you alone with the big bad scary guy. Obviously you two will want some time to yourselves. I'll just be going now....

Peppy Hare: Oh no you don't! I'm not letting you get away from me!

shlin28: Ok, you asked for it! I'll destroy you with my death ray! Pew pew pew!

Fox McCloud: "Pew pew pew?"

shlin28: Yes, that's my death ray. Just you wait, as soon as I hit you with it, you'll be blown to smithereenies!

Peppy Hare: "Smithereenies?"

shlin28: Yeah! Totally! Pew pew pew!

Fox McCloud: You're not even firing at us.

shlin28: YOU CAN'T SEE MY DEATH RAY! NOT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE TO BEG FOR MERCY!!!!

Fox McCloud: I don't believe you.

shlin28: Fine, I'll fire my plasma cannon at you.

*Zap..... Zap..... Zap*

Peppy Hare: Do a barrel roll!

Fox McCloud: Wooo, that was too close. That little thing almost got me!

shlin28: Uh.... that's right! And if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain't seen nothing yet! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!!!

Fox McCloud: Ok, I've had just about enough of you. Hold still and let me shoot you.

shlin28: You cannot defeat me! I am the greatest villain you've ever faced! I'm known throughout the galaxy! I have hundreds of starships just waiting to come to my aid and blast you to bits!

Fox fires his hyper laser at the small craft. The ship is instantly disabled, and adrift.

Fox McCloud: Piece of cake.

shlin28: You haven't seen the last of me! I will have my revenge and stuff!

Peppy Hare: Enjoy your flight.

shlin28: I'm the greatest villain you've ever faced! I will crush you like bugs! I am the crown prince of chaos, the duke of doom, the sultan of sexy! I am shlin28, and you haven't seen the last of meeeeeeeeee!

Fox McCloud: Let's keep looking for Falco and Slippy.

Peppy Hare: Right behind you, Fox.

shlin28: What are you doing? You can't just leave me here like this! I'll starve to death! You big meanies! You aren't heroes after all, you're just big meanies.

Fox McCloud: Sorry to jet, but I'm in a hurry!

shlin28: Wait! Wait! I was just kidding! I don't really work for Andross, I was just bluffing! I am not a bad guy, I was just very, very scared to fight StarFox! I just wanted you to leave me alone! Don't leave me!

Fox and Peppy blast off to another part of the asteroid field. Meanwhile, shlin28 is drifting toward the densest part of the field.... where he sees small, planetoid-sized rocks bouncing off of one another.

shlin28: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A very large asteroid is heading for shlin28's starfighter, moving at a relative speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

shlin28: I have a bad feeling about this.....






shlin28: YOU GUYS WERE VERY MEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

"My energy is OVER 9000" .. Star Fox must be OVER 90.000!

And in response to the now dead Shlin - yes it was a ruse. Do you like dancing to my tune?

Still analyzing the write ups though - I am sure I'll be able to find everyone soon enough. Also, whats up with the attempt to save shlin once it was apparent that he was Venomian, hmmmah?

Man, that reminded me of the days when I was Rowdy Roddy Piper. Thanks for not starting without me boys.

Evil Cornerian scum, seeking to wipe out our pitiful race We only wanted to wipe out the BB, yet you still try to undermine our combined efforts...

I am still shocked by the fact that only I commented on YLC's ruse... did everyone else ignore it because they had become so experienced at playing Mafia games in my absence?

Combined efforts? That is truly luaghable - I know how these things work. Either the Cornerians win, or the Venomians do - there is no "combined" effort, there are two towns and once one starts to take the lead in numbers and organization, the other gets stomped flat. I'm just ahead of the curve, and your a bit behind it.

See, in this game, my tactics work, because I've got a lot of targets. The Cornerians are going to win, sorry, I'll make sure of it.

Someone is clearly forgetting Rubicon...

I'm ignoring the faction thing and going after the killer faction and I'm pretty sure if we don't want the bad guys to win, then that's what we should be doing. You're either scum or misguided in your effort at this point in the game in my humble opinion.

Wow, you Venomian's just come right out to defend each other don't you? I bet it's some innate attempt at being town, when in fact your neutral, and need to survive or outnumber us. Odd, that both of those goals would mean that Cornerians would have to die regardless, either to make sure your dead partners win or in your stead. Don't forget the fact you can change sides, to a much less benevolent goal.

The only good Venomian is a dead one.
