You mean assuming he isn't lynched for the same reason?

Town logic:
Person who gets a mafia killed = scum.
Person who tried to counter mafia getting killed = innocent.

Not really we are just saying it is a fairly large coincidence that the investigator managed to find scum night one and trusted you to reveal this information. Whilst this does not make you scum it does not preclude you from being scum though I would have to say it was a fairly ballsy move if you are scum.

The night phase has ended. Beginning the write-up now.

Night 2

As the crew proceeded to their night-time stations, their minds were full of memories from the previous day. The GF marines and bounty hunters were pleased that they were one step closer to their mission of ridding the GFS Olympus of hostiles like the followers the Dark Hunter. The IDFH warriors were in good spirits as well… though they couldn’t get this mysterious Phazon substance out of their minds. The radioactive glowing blue stuff was capable of bestowing incredible power on those who wielded it, but could also have terrible side effects. And again, tonight, there were some who wandered the deck.

One such wanderer was Rundas, the bounty hunter.

He was confident in his abilities as a hunter- especially his super-cool ice powers- but also smart enough to keep a plan of safe action. Rundas believed he would be safest if he was on the move. As he proceeded down a corridor, he heard the very distinct sound of heels striking the metal deck behind him.

Quickly he tried to spin around, but he was stopped by two delicate arms thrown over his shoulders.

“Easy there. No need to be cold with me, hunter.”

Slowly the arms turned him around and brought him face to face with his captor. She had beautiful red eyes, and although Rundas did not recognize her face in the darkness, he felt that it was familiar; as if he had seen that face in a picture somewhere. The bounty hunter was quickly entranced.

“Now just relax and feel the warmth of my touch.”

She kissed Rundas, and he felt a tingling sensation where her lips touched his face. She was not just warm; heat spread from her lips to his whole body, beginning to melt the icy armor he was encased in. The magnitude of the heat increased until she was burning hot to the touch, and at this point Rundas realized he was in danger and tore himself away.

He didn’t get far. Furious, his attacker launched twin fireballs at him, and he roared in agony as the flames scorched his skin, used to sub-zero temperatures. With a final blast of flame, Rundas was knocked to the ground. As he burned to death, his last sight would be that mysterious, entrancing face.

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

Commander Shepard stood alone in the darkness. She had decided that the corrupted hunters would most likely revisit areas they had previously been to. Believing she was more than a match for either of them with her superior combat skills, she had ventured into the wrecked Medical Bay area, which had been plunged into darkness since it lost power during the attack.

Shepard was at a disadvantage, though, for she didn’t have exceptional night vision, nor did she have a weapon that blended in with the darkness.

The Dark Hunter did.

The Commander was caught completely unaware and blasted off her feet by a missile composed of dark energy. As she got back up, gun at the ready, she saw the armor suit of the Dark Hunter, glowing blue as she menacingly approached Shepard.

Shepard fired at her target, but the heavy armor-piercing bullets just bounced off this special armor. The Dark Hunter picked Shepard up with one hand and flung her to the side, where she crashed into a medical table.

The Dark Hunter concentrated and charged up one final blast of dark energy in her arm cannon, unbeknownst to Shepard. When the Commander sprung up, ready for a counterattack, the attack struck her right in the chest, destroying the rest of her life force. The Dark Hunter left, satisfied.

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

Tonight, the Hunter headed into the Mess Hall. Inside was a lone GF Trooper; apparently he had got up for a midnight snack.

The missile she fired missed narrowly and struck the table he was sitting at, blowing it to bits and launching him against the far wall. The trooper was quick to get up, though, and had his machine gun trained on the fast-moving Hunter almost immediately.

The Hunter began firing blasts of light energy at the Trooper, who somehow managed to dive, roll, and do whatever was necessary to dodge these attacks. As soon as he saw an opening, the GF Trooper returned fire.

Several blasts of Phazon struck the Hunter’s armor, draining at her energy. She was surprised for a moment; then she understood. This was not just any Trooper. The Hunter was dealing with an elite, a GF PED Marine. The Phazon Enhancement Device on his back allowed him to fire ammunition charged with deadly Phazon.

However, the Hunter was not fazed. She took more care in dodging the Marine’s attacks, and charged a beam of concentrated light energy in her arm cannon. Finally seeing her chance, she jumped in the air and fired the beam, which traveled extremely fast and struck the Marine, simultaneously blinding and incinerating him.

The Hunter left his charred corpse in the stew pot, boiling for tomorrow’s breakfast.

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

A small yellow creature with glowing blue eyes scampered through the air duct system, seemingly randomly. However, as it passed one exit, its ears perked up and it stopped. Looking through the metal grating in the ceiling, it saw its target below.

Noxus, the Vozon bounty hunter, lay sleeping in bed. Like Rundas, he had a tendency to use frigid weaponry on the job. Unlike Rundas, he was not so much concerned that he would be attacked, and so was not wandering the halls. However, it appeared neither his nor Rundas’s strategies were terribly useful for avoiding trouble.

The small creature kicked out the grating and it landed squarely on Noxus’s face, jolting him awake. He was confused and groggy, and the creature used this to its utmost advantage. The grating having fallen off of Noxus, the creature dropped through the vent opening and landed carefully on Noxus’s head. The perturbed bounty hunter flailed around wildly as he tried to throw off the creature.

“CHUUUUUUUUU!”

The small creature released a powerful current of electricity from its body and into that of Noxus, electrocuting him. It continued to hold the current open until it could no longer sense Noxus’s pulse.

After having placed Noxus into a more permanent sleep, the creature playfully scampered out of the room and through the ship.

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

Jill Valentine walked cautiously through the halls, gun at the ready and trying to make as little noise as possible. She was skilled at survival in a situation such as this, but although having been in many extraordinary circumstances, they were never quite like this. Zombies? Yes. Infected, deranged humans? Sure. Intelligent, dangerous, and deadly bounty hunters? Not quite.

She continued navigating the halls, which became darker and darker as she progressed further into the Cargo Bay. Finally, the corridor opened up into a large room, which was lit dimly along the walls. The ceilings were high, however, and she could not see them through the darkness.

Suddenly, she heard a deafening screech, which sounded almost like some sort of animal’s roar. A massive, shadowy figure glided close to the ceiling, from the left to the right. To her right, a huge fireball exploded, throwing her to the ground from the force of it.

Jill, still on the floor, raised her hand to return fire, when suddenly another figure appeared right in front of her. It was a massive, muscled humanoid, with his back to her, holding his arms outstretched as if to stop whatever was lurking in the shadows.

She tried to figure out who this mysterious protector was, but his chiseled figure was reduced to a silhouette as fireballs exploded in front of him, seemingly stopped by some sort of imperceptible force field. The screeching of the creature became more and more frustrated, until eventually the fireballs stopped coming and it seemed to leave. In the blink of an eye, the protector had disappeared as well, without so much as a word.

Jill returned hurriedly to her quarters, shaken by the attack.

Begin Day 3

It will last 24 hours and end at roughly 10:30 PM EST tomorrow.

I will try to have updated role PMs soon, but I am very busy right now.

**Askthepizzaguy** · 01-04-2011, 04:47

This might already be obvious to some people, but "updated" role PMs indicates that people are gaining powers and abilities similar to the Star Wars games.

If you have no powers right now, do not fret and do not tune out and ignore this game. If you survive you will end up being powerful.

**Beskar** · 01-04-2011, 04:50

I would like to thank you, who ever protected me.

My sincere thanks.

Though Secura is going to be upset. It is pretty obvious her killer was some one trying to get the investigator. =/

**ULC** · 01-04-2011, 04:50

Good Job Samus, you

I was totally recruitable by you. GO IDFH AND DARK SAMUS. I'd tell you more about how much you screwed yourself, but I'm not in the mood.

Whoever Samus is obviously and totally completely incompetent.

'Hero' could possibly be Samus' faction, thus Pikachu might have vigged a mafiosi successfully.

I don't think so because if you look at the Hunter writeups which unless I'm completely out of it, is for Team Samus, 'Hunter' is bolded in red.

Yes; this is a Council of Villains game, the "hero" faction will be mafia and the villains/non-heroes/or in this case, some metroid people and some unrecruited good guys, will be townies, but the "heroes" and the phazon will be mafia.

I think all these games start with the premise reversed; good is mafia and evil is town. However they've been getting less straightforward as time goes on. Here, I believe there are "hero" mafia and "phazon" mafia; the phazon I thought would recruit villains only, but I don't think that theory is good anymore. The heroes should be led by Samus Aran, who is mafia from our perspective and that's why she's killing every night, as is Dark Samus, her rival and also mafia.

Some of these oddball kills feel like vigilantes, or nerfed killers of some kind. They are not our main objectives.

edit: I am still missing pieces, so I think Reenk's theory could also be valid. I am just assuming Samus is "Hero" in spite of the red writing.
