The Rumble 2013 [CONCLUDED]

[johnhughthom]

I think I'll call him, Yyayy.

[classical_hero]

I will be in this one also.

[EnderBoy]

By the power invested in me, as a newly registered poster, I now pronounce me player #14.

[El Barto]

Player 15 in here!!!!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Nice. Everyone please give a warm welcome to EnderBoy, who came here all the way from the Giraffe Boards mafia section.

He's got a few games under his belt. He knows what a scumbag is. He also knows what a scumbag Pizzaguy is.

There might be some culture shock- they have much longer days over there, among other differences.

[johnhughthom]

Pleasure to have you with us, EnderBoy.

[Jarema]

vote: EnderBoy
hello!

[El Barto]

You point him out as a new player, so we'll lynch him first before we even start random-voting in order to save time.

Isn't that kind of a rude welcome?

[Ferret]

vote: El Barto and Yay!

[EnderBoy]

Strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

See? All power to the EnderBoy!

[Darth Feather]

Strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

For all we know, Luke is tripping on some awesome Jedi acid, and Obi-Wan's friendly post-mortem advice and ghostly visage are all a figment of Luke's hallucinating mind.

I mean, how could someone named "Skywalker" not be a druggie?

[Zack]

Strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Is that a challenge?

[Diana Abnoba]

Welcome to the org. EnderBoy.

[Double A]

Is that a challenge?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Actually, we have 17 players now, since I hadn't updated after Monty posted, when Ender joined he believed he was number 14 when he wasn't.

So I can get crackin' on designing this game. I have no idea what I was thinking.

But, I designed and hosted The Dinner Party completely out of my own rear end, and people liked that game a lot more than some of the ones I put a lot of thought into. So.... awayyyy we go......

[Visor]

I'll drop out then.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll drop out then.

You sure? I could use an even number of players, actually. But if you want to drop that's your choice.

Didn't know if you were willing to go over the limit. I'll stay in then.

[gnarlycharlie]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Gnarles! I haven't seen you here since Capo. Welcome back.

I'll put you on the list of reserves.

[EnderBoy]

I'll drop out then.

You might even say that you're abstaining.

[Askthepizzaguy]

All Role PMs have been sent out.

If you have not received your role PM, then send me a private message indicating so.

Please be advised that this thread will be locked while I finish setting up the stage, and while I wait for folks to read their role PMs.

If someone, even a vanilla townie, does not read their role PM, I may elect to replace them before the game begins.

We will be starting the game with the death of our dear Moderator, Askthepizzaguy, who has no victory condition and will otherwise only be a plot element and narrator.

We will begin the game within a day or so.


/Lock

[Askthepizzaguy]

Game will begin in approximately 12-13 hours. Thread will be unlocked at that time.

We start with a Morning Day Phase, so that everyone has the opportunity to vote for a scumbag before being killed.

THE RUMBLE

Day One

Morning Day Phase- 6AM



The sun rose over the dusty canyon. The town known only as "Gameroom" is still sleeping soundly in their beds.

This forgotten town hasn't seen much in the way of good news for quite some time. The town is at the very end of a long and dusty trail, and just beyond that is the edge of the canyon. There's no bridge to the other side, and nothin' over there worth building a bridge for.

There hasn't been much rain lately. Even the river hasn't swelled in some time... the snows didn't come this winter. The farmers have long since moved on, their fields turned to dust. But there are still ranches, and cattle, and pigs, and whatnot. People still live here, And people still travel from far and wide, on account of this town having a lot of what you might call a.... "history". You see, in its heyday, this town was quite the notorious little place. There were gangsters, and lawmen, and all manner of crazy characters come through here, looking to make a name for themselves. Some of them became famous. Some others.... well, they're buried down in that canyon somewhere. But there haven't been lawmen here in ages. Town's not big enough to afford a Sheriff no more. And there ain't nothin' left worth stealin' or killin' for. At least, that's how it's been for a while.

But that's where I come in. You see, I was just a simple pizza delivery man. Yeah, them cowboys eat pizza, too. Expensive to get all the right ingredients way out here by truck, but folks do it anyway. And like I was saying, I was just a simple pizza delivery man. Last night I was, anyhow. When the sun rose this morning, I was a pizza man no more. Seems someone out there don't like pizza men. Or maybe they like them a little bit too much, I can't say. It's all such a blur...

The town of Gameroom found my body square in the middle of town, and torn to shreds. The ground must have been so thirsty that it done soaked up all the blood. All that remained was a body, half-buried in the sand.Not the prettiest sight you'd ever see. And not how I planned on leavin' town, either. But you never plan on something like this happening. There weren't nothin' anyone could do to save me. Happened so fast, I couldn't even scream.

I don't want no fancy funeral. I don't have no will, and nobody to give all of my nothin' to. All I really want, if anyone out there is listening, is a little justice. If someone could find out who or what did this to me, that would be mighty kind of you.

~~~

Well, well.... what do you know. Seems like Gameroom has a visitor after all. There seems to be a gentleman rode in on a horse, wearin' a hat pulled down over his eyes, and two silver revolvers slung by his waist. This wasn't the man who killed me.... wasn't even in town yet. If there's anyone could sort this mess out, I'm sure he could.

What's his name, I wonder. Does he even have a name?

For now, let's just call him the Gunslinger.

The stranger's horse stopped not ten feet from my body, just as the crowd was beginning to gather. "Who done this?" one of the townsfolk asked. "Who would want to kill a pizza man?" said another. "Who wouldn't want to kill a pizza man?" said yet another. "We ain't got no Sheriff. Who is gonna protect us from who or whatever killed 'im?"

"Seems you're havin' a bit of trouble with your pizza guy." said the Gunslinger.

"Trouble, I'll say. He's dead! And one of us might be next!" replied someone in the crowd.

"Say you got no lawmen in town. Don't look like coyotes could do a thing like this. Looks like he was killed by a man-sized beast." said the Gunslinger.

"Or perhaps a man posing as a beast!" said someone. "Or a beast posing as a man...." said another.

"Tell you what. Give me two bottles of whiskey, and I'll help you solve this crime. On one condition: My word is law. My judgment is final." said the Gunslinger.

"We ain't got no choice, I guess. You're the only one here who couldn't a done it. What do you suggest?"

The Gunslinger pointed at the silver hanging from his waist.

"You know each other better than I do. Bring me the person you think ain't acting right, and I'll set them straight the best way I know how."

"That don't seem like a kind of justice I ever heard of. That just sound like random killing." said someone.

That someone's hat flew clean off of his head, and a thunderous noise echoed through the canyon. Before anyone could see it happen, the Gunslinger drew his weapon and fired. Put a hole clean through that hat.

I don't recall anyone else ever questioning the Gunslinger after that. Folk in the Gameroom are pretty smart that way.



"You have till High Noon to bring me a suspect. High Noon happens to be at 3:00 AM Friday the 24th of May, EDT for some reason. Don't look at me like that, or you'll be talkin' to Delilah."

The Gunslinger held up Delilah for everyone to see. She is very pretty, and all covered in silver. The sun shone off her like diamonds.

"She's not as patient as I am."

[Ishmael]

Great, we've got a wackjob vigilante who's come into town to rule as a petty tyrant through fear and violence (this is murmured towards the back of the crowd, so I don't get my hat shot off again. I quite like that hat).

I'm going to resist the urge to vote: Abstain, and instead just open up the random voting:

vote: Zack

[LazyMcCrow]

vote: Ferret

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Vote: Yay!
