Plus, I am and probably will remain one of the world's worst vanilla townspeople.

You volunteering to take over the reigns? The two former champions may get jealous. Then again, there is probably a third champion by now, I need to recheck the tally.

One more consecutive no-vote gets a WOG. Did I overlook any of your votes? Inform me.

Pizza has stated the writeups do not contain clues. I take him at his word. I repeat: You claimed neutral. Which is not town. With no other clear choices, you are the best. Further, there's some questions I'll raise in the morning about your reveal that don't quite make sense, atm. Gonna get some sleep first.

That isn't accurate, as the write-ups clearly point to the killer (void portal, etc) and who was attacked. Also, the part where pizza mentions the town and neutral are working together against the big bad is in the game rules themselves. The "neutral" are just a 2nd town faction, but Pizza is mainly writing it all from the Cornerian angle.

Also, if the write-ups are completely non-related, then how is it that it was Wolf that killed the Mafia? Which seemingly makes light my contributions in the phrase to get a mafia lynched.

Sorry for not having the intimate knowledge of game structure that having "the best investigative" ability in the game imbues, as you put it. But honestly, I've been a bit more attentive to my officer role in Subo's game, and plus, this whole setup goes a bit over my head. Never played a Star Fox game. Plus, I am and probably will remain one of the world's worst vanilla townspeople.

Understood. It is because of that "best investigative" ability is how I deduced that he is either Star Fox or the Mafia straight away. The only reason I considered a "truce" was because I thought he might have been Star Fox, and he was willing to allow me to investigate him tonight. It was thanks to Starfox team (namely Romanic) who pretty much said "he isn't one of us", is why I made sure I pushed my case forward. I think this is pretty clear I have no ill intentions towards Starfox or the town in general.

Also, credit goes to TheFlax as well. he shouldn't be left out.

I will state it here for the record Yasei, both the town (Cornerians) and second town (Venomians) both require the Big Bad dead as their victory condition to win. If the Big Bad is dead, we all get a victory. If the Big Bad wins, we all lose, regardless of Cornerian or Venomian. Venomians are only called "neutral" for lore reasons, as Pizza is writing it from the angle of the Cornerians. In games such as StarFox Assualt, both Star Fox, Wolf, Cornerians and Venomians worked together against the "Big Bad". This sort of union has happened in lore at numerous occasions in games.

Best way to sum it up. Corneria is the USA, Venom is the USSR, and the Big Bad is the Third Reich. Just like in that conflict, two sides who disagree (USA and Russia) work together to defeat the Big Bad (Germany)

Pizza has stated the writeups do not contain clues. I take him at his word.

I've noticed some controversy over this, and argument. Perhaps I should make myself clear.

What I mean by this is.... I had a practice of placing cryptic clues in my writeups which could be found.... if you're really imaginative.... and use that to solve the game instead of standard mafia accusation/solving tactics. Examples: My early Simpsons games and Psycho games and Futurama games and so forth. As recently as the Snatcher, the writeups indicated something unusual about the game, or Psycho II, there were subtle messages embedded in my games. However... as nice as that idea is, and the flavor it gives to my games, I also realize that it could become the main focus of a game, and any crazy, off-the-wall theory about the way I word things or the numbers I mention suddenly mean anything you want it to mean. Then no one focuses on the scummy behavior of the mafia. Worse, if I make the puzzle too simple to solve, then there's no challenge, and possibly unfair on the mafia.

As such, I'm phasing out such things in my games. I want everyone to have a fair chance. Those kinds of clues might be better in some other kind of game.

What you might call clues, could be simply facts about the game.

If someone is killing in a certain manner, that might be a signature. If they die, no more of that signature. So, that's the only "clue".... but that's no different from any other game. If a certain kind of murder disappears, then you could call it a clue, but I'd just call it a natural extension of the lack of there being a scumbag murdering someone.

Apparently my definition of clue conflicts with other peoples. I am not saying there's NOTHING to glean from the writeups, only that they aren't necessary to read and do not contain hidden messages or special clues. It might contain facts, but it might also contain misleading information.

So, it's not a reliable source of information. Therefore, it isn't a clue.

No way! I don't believe it!

5. Minimum level of participation:

If you do not vote three rounds in a row, you will be sent out of this dimension by the angry, wrathful hand of God, and will be removed from the game and will automatically finish with the lowest possible score and rank dead last. This can be averted under extenuating circumstances by contacting me and letting me know why you will be inactive and when you will be back. I may still be forced to replace you temporarily.


6. Voting procedure:

• If you wish to vote to lynch someone, post Vote: Askthepizzaguy
• If you wish to vote for someone new, post Unvote, vote: Sasaki Kojiro
• If you do not BOLD your vote, it does not count.
• If you do not unvote your previous vote, your new vote does not count.
• If you edit a post with your vote in it, the vote still counts.
• However, if you edit your post to change your vote, you WILL be removed from the game. Do not edit your votes. Make a new post. You can edit other parts of your post, but not the vote part.

I should also mention that voting during night phases doesn't count towards either any lynch, nor towards your activity.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Obviously, lots of people understood this, and either abstained, no lynched, etc, with possible Bad guys and clueless fools, claiming I was some anti-town role.

News in Thread: Beskar nails Mafia-scum, in spite of dunces trying to prevent him.

You don't want to wear a dunce hat for a 3rd time, do you?

Unless you make it clear this is roleplaying, I'm issuing a warning to tone it down, Beskar.

Remember the gameroom rules

3. Friendliness. Be nice to our new and old players. We should also strive to help new players feel welcome. Words or comments like n00b are specially frowned upon.

5. Role playing is fun, but make sure your co-players understand you are acting.

And the rules for playing this game, repeat:

13. Sportsmanship, player etiquette, having fun:

* Don't do personal attacks. You can criticize strategy or suggest people are guilty. Don't call them dumb, or anything similar.

Criticize ideas and strategy, do not criticize people in this way.

[pevergreen]

Hmm?

Don't worry, you aren't one of the three former champions.

Two of them are my countrymen...

[johnhughthom]

Don't do a Johnhughthom on us.

You what?

[Beskar]

You what?

End up getting wogged and replaced, and them end up being the mafia godfather.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Gah why does everything important go on when I take a night away from the computer?

[johnhughthom]

End up getting wogged and replaced, and them end up being the mafia godfather.

That's not how it happened, it was my charitable gesture for the year. Two godfather roles at the same time was pretty selfish.

[Romanic]

Rob64: Falco's ship is under maintenance. Slippy's ship is still out of range.

Hey man! Be careful with my ship! Don't give it to an amateur like Fox.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Calling all replacement players and standard roles who have died:

I will need to replace several people shortly. Let me know privately if you're still interested in playing

[Renata]

Pinman, you dirty liar, you. I would have never thought you had it in you.

Yeah, I can't say it with a straight face.

Beskar, unless you're implying that was an investigation result on Pinman, the credit does not go to Star Wolf for outing him, but rather to Romanic, for contriving to find a way to let me know where to look for mafia without actually breaking the rules, and Flax, for following up on the lead in a way that made sense to people.

[Romanic]

What in the name of vivisection was that?

Flax gets a lot of credit, Romanic does for complying with answering my question, I voted originally picking up on his scum tells independently and had to overturn a kitchen sink.

You didn't participate much.

[Renata]

As for me where what? Voting and not unvoting you after encouraging a lynch of Pinman at the start of the day? I could say I was on the Duquesne Incline at the time, but really I just feel like making myself look scummy. See, even Romanic picked up on it.

[TheFlax]

How about we drop the arguments about who gets credit and nab another scumbag?

[Romanic]

As in.... Romanic is so bad, he can't usually pick a scum tell, but this one was so blatant that even he, was able to find it?

[Beefy187]

Lets give a clap to Pinman for a WIFOM well done

And Beskar seeing through the trap and successfully lynch a baddie

[Chaotix]

.....hmph.

Good job, Beskar. I guess you don't suck so much after all.

Though I'll be surprised if you survive the night now.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Those of you waiting for the writeup, don't bother! I will need extra time to find replacement players and so forth, and was busy. The writeup would have been way late anyway.

(Some peace of mind for those who wanted to see it right away)

[Beskar]

Though I'll be surprised if you survive the night now.

I will be honest, I will be surprised too.

[Pinman]

Sshhh Renata..... they'll never believe me again.

Romanic woke up in the medical bay of the Great Fox, being attended to by Rob64.

Romanic: Wha.... what happened? Last thing I knew, I was about to be turned into a fried chicken. How did I get here?

Rob64: I was able to locate Falco's damaged Arwing using the Great Fox's scanners. Your medical condition is OK.

Romanic: How's the Arwing? Is it salvageable?

Rob64: Falco's ship is in the docking bay.

Romanic: Good. I'm anxious to get back to flying, and show these monkeys who's boss!

_______________________________

Yaropolk's ship was drifting far off-course due to his navigational system shorting out from solar flare activity. Long-range sensors detected a squadron of fighters leaving Aquas, so Yaropolk tried to cut directly across the star system and head for Macbeth. The shortest route to get there was passing by the dwarf star, Solar, the smaller of the two stars in the binary Lylat star system. He sent out a distress call to planet Katina, informing him of his trouble.

Yaropolk: Blue 3 to Katina base... I'm having some trouble with my navigational system. I'm going to attempt to reach Macbeth and rejoin my squadron.

Yaropolk noticed that the squadron of fighters were heading directly for his position, so he pulled his craft closer to the star, hoping to mask his signature in the star's atmosphere. His ship's outer hull temperature began to climb, reaching temperatures exceeding the design limit. His sensor array overloaded, and his aerofoils began to melt and contort in shape. There was no way to tell if the fighters had passed yet or not, but there wasn't time to wait and find out. He piloted his craft away from the star's surface, and began to break free....

Suddenly, a solar flare erupted from the star, and a wave of highly charged particles and extremely hot energetic plasma pushed the damaged craft away from the star, nearly crippling the ship in the process. Just outside the stellar atmosphere, a large vortex was forming, of the same size and type observed previously. From within the gravity well, a group of missiles emerged, heading straight for the hot, desert world of Titania, the planet in close orbit around Solar.

Yaropolk: Blue 3 to Titania, if you can hear me, there are missiles incoming. Titania, do you read me?

Yaropolk got no response. His little craft was unable to escape from the gravity well, and was crushed by the immense forces inside, just as the phenomenon collapsed.

Yaropolk: I never even got to host the Spider's Webbbbbbbbbb!!!!
