[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption [Concluded]

[pevergreen]

That said I can't remember a game where the mighty legendary hybrid "Reenkus peverroinkus" actually curb-stomped everyone. Did I miss something?

Its like the old rule involving CR, its no fun if its an instant win.

How did Pirate Ship go? peverreenk dictated the course of that game.

Its not often that we actually are both in the same game, Reenk is a busy, busy, sexy man.

[Motep]

I would like to join

I've just returned to the flowchart for the second time and finally made some sense of it all.

Congratulations Chaotix on such a dedicated and continuous plot! Mafia has really developed since I last played!

This means that characters should be handled much more reverently with a view to future games...

Is roleplaying still encouraged or enforced? (Is this the wrong place to ask?)

It's never enforced.

I would say that, for this game, it may be more prudent for players to conceal their identities than to reveal and roleplay, though you are certainly welcome to do so.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You can also do what I do which is roleplay as a character that you are not.

That way you conceal your identity while also being able to have fun.

[pevergreen]

Metroid characters don't have that much flavour compared to such extreme ones as Mario universe ones.

ATPG:



No, I didn't make that. It harkens back unto the day when the legion of pevers was around.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I really dodged a bullet on that one. No way I'm giving up my zombie avatar.

[pevergreen]

Absolutely sure you dont want to be Askthepeverguy?
I have chat logs saying you were seriously considering it.

[Seon]

a legion of pevers?

were there...peverreds?

[Chaotix]

a legion of pevers?

were there...peverreds?

I don't think so. There was peverblue, peveryellow, peverbrown, and pevermauve, but I don't think we had a peverred.

Also, getting slightly off-topic in here.

[woad&fangs]

Winter break.

[Kagemusha]

In. On second thought i will be on holiday trip with very limited internet access until 10th of january and if the game will launch on 27th maybe i should be just a replacement.

[classical_hero]

I don't think so. There was peverblue, peveryellow, peverbrown, and pevermauve, but I don't think we had a peverred.

Yeah, I am a bit peeved about all this talk.

[Reenk Roink]

Ok,

[Renata]

I won't ask to be a sub, because I'll have a few minutes most days, but am just noting now before the game starts that I'll be very pressed for time until about mid-January. So don't lynch me for it. (please)

[Ignoramus]

Sorry, Chaotix, but I'll have to pass on this one. I won't be able to have internet access over the next 3 weeks. All the best.

He could also do what I do, and not know what he is doing until he starts typing.

[Chaotix]

Sorry about the delay, guys; I had to shovel myself out of a snowstorm this morning (the one in Northeast US if you're wondering).

Sign-ups are closed, and I will start the game as soon as I have finished all of the role PMs and the opening write-up.

[Double A]

I have snow too.

6in deep. In North Carolina.

Freaking crazy.

[Chaotix]

I have snow too.

Freaking crazy.

Over 2 feet in NY. I win.

I'm still working on role PMs and such unfortunately, it's taking longer than expected due to an oversight on my part.

[thefluffyone93]

Gar. My back is still hurting from the 4 ft of snow and ice I had to shovel. Durned snow plows.

[Choxorn]

I have no snow right now, despite living a bit farther North than both AA and Chaotix.

[Renata]

Over 2 feet in NY. I win.

You must live very close to me; not much of New York got that much snow. We're still not done clearing the walks.

[PershsNhpios]

What has snow got to do with when this game will finally start?!

Did you know that Australians must wait a day longer than everyone else?! It's the 28th already!

(Nevermind, I didn't see Chaotix' post! I will be patient!)

[Diamondeye]

I have snow too.

6in deep. In North Carolina.

Freaking crazy.

Some places in Denmark has been under 5 ft. of snow....! Luckily, the capital wasn't too awfully hit. Still, a couple of feet in total, I guess... 6 in. ain't nothing

[Askthepizzaguy]

This weather discussion is off-topic and getting sort of prolonged.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

This weather discussion is off-topic and getting sort of prolonged.

Yes, the last thing I wanted after shoveling snow all day (we got 8 inches and it was about 25 degrees outside and cloudy) was to read about the weather here.

[Double A]

Gar. My back is still hurting from the 4 ft of snow and ice I had to shovel. Durned snow plows.

Get a flamethrower.

I meant for North Carolina. We never get snow this deep in December.

EVER.

Night 0

The Galactic Federation Starship Olympus coasted through space at a leisurely pace. It was headed for a planet controlled by the Space Pirates, who had recently resurged, probably due to the Council of Villains event and the empowering of their leader, Ridley, that came with it. The spacecraft was not moving quickly, however, because the forces on board were still being trained.

The Inter-dimensional Federation of Heroes, or IDFH, had established something of an uneasy alliance with the GF Marines. With a common foe in Ridley, both sides saw the wisdom in an alliance, but so far it had not worked out especially well. The heroes viewed the GF forces as grunts and common troopers, and mostly useless in a fight- and the marines were offended that the heroes would dare to insult them on their own ship. In fact, all the IDFH forces in Dimension 003 Metroid were stationed on the GFS Olympus, except for two who had gone missing a few months previously. And then there was the matter of the GF hiring several bounty hunters to fight for them, many of them former criminals.

It was not the best of situations. And it would soon devolve into something far worse.

A dot appeared on the Olympus’s radar screen. It was a friendly dot, requesting permission to dock. The ship was scanned and immediately recognized as the renowned bounty hunter Samus’s Gunship. The Fleet Admiral Castor Dane was notified and it was granted permission to dock, as was usually the case.

Minutes later, there was chaos. A siren began blaring, red lights came up. A messenger ran immediately to Admiral Dane’s room, shouting:

“Sir! The docking bay is under assault! The entire sector has been wiped out!”

Dane looked concerned and shocked, but not fearful.

“By whom? How is it possible we didn’t detect them coming?”

“I’m not sure, our cameras have been hacked and disabled by some sort of unknown technology. But we’ve received no word from Samus Aran since then, either. She could be harmed or even killed!”

“Perhaps… but there may be a more obvious explanation than that. Send a squad down to find any hostiles and search for survivors.”

“Yes, sir!”

The messenger hurried off, and Admiral Dane scratched his chin.

“So it begins…”

Not twenty minutes had passed before the messenger returned. Dane expected news of the docking bay attack, but this was not it.

“Sir! The medical wing has been breached!”

This time, Dane had more of a face that implied he was about to say “are you kidding me?” It only flashed for a moment, but he kept his cool.

“Details! What’s going on?”

“There are several survivors who managed to escape. They said that there wasn’t even a spacecraft. Just three shadowy figures, and they were all using… using…”

“Using what? Spit it out, man!”

“Phazon! They attacked us with Phazon!”

“That could only mean…”

“They think it’s the Dark Hunter!”

Dane looked worried now. He was about to dismiss the messenger, but was interrupted by Aurora Unit 242, the organic supercomputer that ran the ship.

“Admiral Dane, I believe you should be seeing this.”

A holo-screen stretched across the wall. On it, what appeared to be a large, metallic dragon was rocketing towards them through space. All of a sudden, a massive crash rocked the entire ship, and the lights dimmed for a moment.

“What’s going on, 242?”

"The cargo bay has been penetrated and the engines have been destroyed. The Olympus has been rendered incapable of moving."

“We’re stranded… out in Pirate Space.”


---------------------------------------------------

Role PMs are being sent. Please stand by and wait for the next part of the write-up.

[Chaotix]

Dane had called for everyone still living on board the ship to meet in the main assembly room.

The numbers of the GF forces and the IDFH forces were about equal, and neither group seemed happy about the other’s presence. Captain Falcon, in charge of the IDFH forces on board the Olympus, was at the center. Dane was not present.

“Now listen up! As you have probably guessed, there are some among us who are not as they seem! They are intruders on this vessel, and they are almost certainly villains. They’re here to kill us all, and we need to find them before they do that.”

A voice shouted from the group of GF marines:

“They’re only here to kill you! Why should we have to be subject to this treatment? If you weren’t on our ship, this never would have happened!”

“I do not believe that the intruders are only here for the IDFH. Word has it that Dark Samus is on board. She has never been on good terms with the Galactic Federation. Further, we have word that Samus, who is both a GF bounty hunter and an IDFH hero, is on board and has gone missing. The GF most certainly has a reason to be involved here.”

For the most part, both groups were quieted. Falcon continued.

“We need to vote on who we believe is most likely to be an intruder. Then the only method to know for sure if they are… is death. I will tally the votes.”

The marines were in an uproar.

“What’s to say you won’t skew the tally in the IDFH ‘s favor, huh? Out to protect your own, I’m sure!”

The IDFH were now starting to take offense. It seemed a fight would begin if Falcon didn’t do something.

“Fine! Admiral Dane will tally the votes today. I will take care of it tomorrow. We will switch off every day. That way, it will be fair. Is that acceptable?”

Both sides seemed to come to an uneasy agreement, for now.

“Good. Then it’s time to vote. Show me your moves!”

And so began the first day of A State of Corruption.

----------------------------

The role PMs for all mafia and other essential characters have been sent out. I am still working on the rest and will have those out as soon as possible.

That said, everyone who doesn't have a role PM yet is a basic townie.

I am starting the first round. Anybody can vote, even if you don't have your role PM yet. I will only start counting the 24 hours when I have sent out the last role PM, though.
