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

[TinCow]

Apologies, my PM box space filled up momentarily. Don't know how long it was like that before I noticed. The problem is fixed now, so everyone who got their messages blocked can resend them now. I'll pay more attention to my space limits from now on.

[Greyblades]

So Greyblades the proven townie was from a third mysterious family?

I'm such a good mafia I warped reality and kept my identity secret from even myself! Fear me puny mortals!

How could your PM box be filled up? I'm pretty sure the limit is 1,000,000 messages here. But maybe I'm thinking about TWC.

My limit is 200. That's plenty if I remember to clear it, but since I used to have space for 5,000 it's not something I'm used to paying attention to.

[Jarema]

unvote, vote: abstain

[Chaotix]

Round is ended. I will begin tallying up the votes.

[Double A]

Doctors, protect Beskar tonight.

In case you didn't get the hint.

So Greyblades the proven townie was from a third mysterious family?

Also, Samus is mafia?

Keep them rolling tincow.

I'm positive Samus is anti-Phazon, but I doubt she's anti-IDFH.

Since she was working with those punks who were killing off my cannon fodder!

[Beskar]

I do hope doctors will protect me tonight.

[Greyblades]

Since she was working with those punks who were killing off my cannon fodder!

Man thats nostalgic, hey chaotix are we going to have another council game any time soon?

[ULC]

I'm positive Samus is anti-Phazon, but I doubt she's anti-IDFH.

You're wrong, sorry to disappoint you.

[Skooma Addict]

I'm positive Samus is anti-Phazon, but I doubt she's anti-IDFH.

Both Samus and Dark Samus are dangerous to the town. I believe them both to belong to Phazon. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

[Double A]

That doesn't make sense, though. Why would Samus be against both the organization she's part of and the one she collects bounties from?

Unless Fawful is involved, anyway.

TinCow has been lynched. Feel free to send me night orders.

Also, you may notice I started keeping tabs on who's not even showing up to post during the round. If you accumulate more than 5 of these, or 3 in a row, chances are you'll be WoG'd and replaced. And nobody wants that except Greyblades.

I'm beginning the write-up now.

[Greyblades]

What can I say, after the first council of villians game I was hooked. Pity there hasnt been another council game actually featuring a council since the first one.

[TinCow]

For those of you who think Samus is somehow pro-town, Samus killed robbiecon last night. Samus is the Hunter. Dark Samus is the Dark Hunter. They're clearly visible in the write-up. Samus killed GF last night because, like us, she had no intel on who belonged to which faction. Thus, she was forced to kill randomly and hit a GF through bad luck. Those kinds of blind attacks are exactly what we Phazon are trying to avoid when it comes to the IDFH. While it is too late for the IDFH to contact me secretly now, many did so before time expired. So, if you are an IDFH survivalist, there are others amongst you who know how to get in contact with me and inform me of your alignment. If you want to stay alive, do make an attempt to locate other IDFH players and share information with them. Obviously, be cautious who you trust, as the GF are not going to be happy about this.

[Choxorn]

It's a million on TWC, it's 200 here.

I want that, too, and so does everyone else on the replacement list. :)

[dcmort93]

I'm here, just not in time to vote in the last phase

[Insanious]

The last phase was 48 hours, what kind of a NYE coma did you go into? :P

[dcmort93]

Its called beating Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 in under a week

[ULC]

That doesn't make sense, though. Why would Samus be against both the organization she's part of and the one she collects bounties from?

Unless Fawful is involved, anyway.

Because Samus is NOT IDFH aligned nor can she recruit from them. Samus is nominally GF aligned, and can recruit from the survivalists among the GF. TC hasn't lied, because he hasn't had too - it's in his best interests that the town fight amongst themselves trying to prevent Dark Samus from recruiting heavily from the IDFH now that Dark Samus has several contacts within the IDFH. Those of the IDFH who can be recruited, will be, those who can't and those who have yet to be act as a good distraction.

TC and his faction are in a very strong position so long as they recieved a large number of contacts. A lot of IDFH will have likely contacted TC just so they can jump ship if it starts to sink and will try to remain town up until then.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It seems clear that my feelings about the detective result were correct--that there is a nerfed ability that will not catch mafia. But beskar had a more powerful investigation. That gives him good odds of being the counterpart to tincow (which is basically confirmed to be in the game). Other possibility is that he is a protown investigator. In either case it's good to start with a small wagon on him tomorrow.

Total lie - Beskar is with Dark Samus, they just sacked TC, who will still win with them, to gain 5+ recruits. An even gamble which publicly puts Beskar at odds with TC. I don't even really trust you Sasaki, despite being Rundas.

Prevote: Beskar

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I didn't kill reenk roink, although the fact that someone is going around claiming it explains the pm's going about. So I think you know less than you think you do.

I doubt beskar and tc are the same family.

[ULC]

It doesn't matter what you "believe", Sasaki, as it is of little importance to me when I pursue my case against Beskar, and you if you get in my way. I am not going to be intimidated and pigeonholed like everyone else is, and I evidently know more then you do about the current situation.

Day 2

It had been another long day on the GFS Olympus. There was much arguing and accusation, and the crew had become even more factionalized between the GF and the IDFH. But in the end, the voting had come to a clear resolution. This time Captain Falcon stepped forward to tally the votes.

When he had finished, a grimace crossed his face. He turned to the assembled crew to read the result.

“Today, you have decided that the impostor among is… the IDFH warrior Isaac, of the Golden Sun dimension. He is accused of being, in reality, the missing IDFH hero Cloud Strife, corrupted by the influence of the Dark Hunter.”

Isaac stepped forward solemnly and silently. The IDFH was in an uproar. They began shouting and protesting vigorously against the accusations against one of their own.

“WHAT? Just because he looks like Cloud, now he’s accused of BEING Cloud? This is ridiculous!”

Captain Falcon tried in earnest to calm down his own comrades.

“Quiet! A vote is a vote. This is what we agreed to do. We did it for great justice!”

He then turned to the suspect.

“Now, Isaac. What do you have to say for yourself?”

“…”

“Come on! Defend yourself. Show me your case!”

“…”

Captain Falcon soon realized that Isaac was one of those silent RPG heroes and really didn’t speak a whole lot. He was at a loss for what to do… perhaps this was an admission by non-denial.

“Alright then. Here’s what we’re going to do. I want Isaac locked up in the Quarantine Bay for the rest of this trip.”

Suddenly, a pale-faced GF officer dressed in a lab coat stood up.

“I… uhhh… I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”

Falcon gave the Quarantine Officer a piercing glare from behind his visor.

“That wasn’t a question. Do it now.”

The GF Quarantine Officer and a few marines brought Isaac down to the Quarantine Bay, near the bottom hull of the ship. The Officer dismissed the soldiers before they could see the blue glow emanating from behind the cold steel door. The Officer unlocked and opened the door, and Isaac walked willingly inside. Then the door was carefully locked and sealed behind him.

The Quarantine Officer proceeded to the Observation room, where he was provided a full view of the quarantined chamber through a large, ten inch thick glass window.

Inside the chamber stood Isaac, and he was surrounded on all sides by a massive quantity of pure Phazon ore. This was what he had been so reluctant to place Isaac in quarantine for.

Secretly, GF High Command had stored away tons of Phazon ore on the Olympus, for the purpose of experimentation and development of new bioweapons. The IDFH was completely unaware of the presence of such material, and most GF officials did not even know of its existence. If the IDFH found out about it, they would no doubt want it for themselves.

The Quarantine Officer continued to watch Isaac intently, and soon he began to notice a change in his usually calm demeanor. He began to twitch, and it soon became clear that the massive amount of Phazon around him made it difficult to mask his true feelings. The disguise faded away from Isaac and his true identity was revealed.

Cloud Strife, corrupted by the Phazon, was now trying absorb it all for himself. Frantic, the Quarantine Officer sent security mechs into the chamber to neutralize him, but he destroyed them all with a quick slash from his massive Buster Sword. Cloud then looked straight at the officer with a wicked grin on his face.

He shot at high speed straight through the plate glass, and proceeded to impale the Officer on his sword, cackling maniacally as he did so. But Cloud did not manage to kill the Officer before he pressed the red emergency button. Sirens were already blaring, and within seconds Captain Falcon and the majority of the crew had arrived, but were cautious of getting too close.

Falcon marched right up to Cloud, who swung his blade viciously. The Captain managed to dodge the first two swings, and then caught the blade in his hands on the third. He wrenched the Buster Sword out of Cloud’s grip and tossed it to the side, proceeding to bury Cloud in a flurry of punches. While Cloud was stunned from the attack, he brought back his fist in preparation for another attack.

“FALCON…”

Flames surrounded the Captain, and his fist shot forward.

“PAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUNNNNCCHHH!”

The Corrupted warrior was disintegrated into raw Phazon just from the power of the attack.

Captain Falcon looked back at his IDFH warriors in triumph.

“Awww yeah! We got one of them!”

But the IDFH was in staring in awe at the glowing blue mass behind him.

A secret cache of Phazon?
What a treat this would be for the Space Pirates if they found out!

[ULC]

Maybe I missed something. but where the heck are you getting these allegations?

There is no hard evidence for an investigator, at all. Beskar, randomly trusted, DAY 2, with no evidence as to why he was trusted. There wasn't a proceeding night for Beskar to be investigated, so no way the supposed investigator could have found Beskar to be clean.

The evidence as it stands now points to Beskar being part of a larger organization, which is either Samus or Dark Samus. Samus would have had nothing to gain from publicly announcing TC as an antagonist when they could have done it free of publicity during the night - no one could have contacted TC from the IDFH, which means no people they can magically recruit from without investigating to find out if they can recruit them in the first place.

It's far more likely that Beskar is working with Dark Samus, likely one of the original members, and they simply outed TC early because -

1) TC loses nothing really, he'll still win with Dark Samus and can act as a known and very eloquent mafioso.
2) TC is able to get into contact with IDFH survivalists, getting past the need to investigate them first. Tonight, they will replace TC and be at full strength.
3) Beskar is apparently opposed to TC and may have connections with Samus, meaning hopeful GF survivalists will contact Beskar and then get killed before they are recruited and become more powerful.

It's simple and elegant really, and a wonderful gamble.

[Greyblades]

Ok allegation: bad word. I meant where the heck did you get that stuff about getting 5+ recruits for getting tincow killed?

You really think that those saddled with "survivalist", in which if they die, they do not win, will sit there and NOT take a chance at victory regardless of whether or not they die? What about all the people who want to become a mafioso anyway?
