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

[a completely inoffensive name]

I have not kept up with this game since I died, can some one give me a quick catch up?

[Beskar]

It is because the mafia are infact the 'pro-town'.

[classical_hero]

Hey guys, we've managed to move back home, but the ETA on restored power was an hour ago, its now been updated to midnight sunday. However, I should be able to get to the office and spend my day there tomorrow, with power and net.

I really don't want to be replaced due to this flood.

That is great news to here that you are back in this game.

[Rebel Jeb]

Sorry for my inactivity..Really hard news just happened in real life and it's hard to deal with it and follow a large game. I hope I'll be able to, I'll try.

[Chaotix]

As a note, I may not be at home at the time this phase ends (in roughly 5 hours). I will still try to get the write-up done in a timely fashion, but I hope you'll be understanding. I won't have my usual post to mark the end of the phase. It is at 8:00 PM EST.

People died, I posted a lot of annoying pictures, with plenty in reserve, and here we are.

OR!

You could just go here.

tl;dr I will just wing it.

[Yaropolk]

Holy Crap, ACIN is in this game and we haven't voted him out yet?!

[classical_hero]

We could do it next round.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, vote for ACIN, because nothing would make me happier.

[Chaotix]

Still working on the write-up, but I'm almost done. It's a big one.

ACIN just replaced Khazaar at the end of the day phase. His original character was lynched in the first round.

[Choxorn]

Yeah, don't vote the guy who just came in to the game, let him play a bit first.

Night 6

Not many crew members of the GFS Olympus were able to sleep that night. They were sick with worry about the dangers of the Hunter and the other new threats, which they had failed to locate. Their commanders, Admiral Dane and Captain Falcon, often seemed just as merciless as the Hunter herself. There were many who were too fearful to fall asleep. And there were others who were awake for their own reasons…

Master Chief had positioned himself in the mess hall.

He stood up all the tables on their sides to provide him with cover, and hid behind one of them. Effectively, he had created himself a battlefield of chest-high walls, one that might have impressed even his buddy Marcus Fenix back at IDFH HQ. He was ready to be holed up here for as long as he had to.

The Chief crouched at one end of the room, back to the wall, as his sniper rifle pointed toward the other end and the door. He was relaxed but vigilant, and he stirred into position when he heard pattering footsteps at the other end. He looked through the darkness, unable to find his target. Every few seconds he would hear the footfalls again, and a few times he even saw a small creature bound from behind one table to another.

Finally, the small creature bounded out right in front of his view.

“Pikachu~!”

Master Chief looked through his sniper lens at the adorable creature mewling at him, and was nearly reduced to dropping and running up to cuddle it. Then he saw the glowing blue eyes, decided against it, and fired.

With lightning-fast agility, the Pikachu sensed the bullet and dodged out of the way. Then it began moving faster than the Chief’s eye could follow, zooming all around the room. Frustrated, he switched to his assault rifle, hoping to hit it with the spread.

But it was not to be so. The Pikachu dashed around him and hopped onto his back, and due to the claustrophobic HUD in Master Chief’s helmet he was unable to turn around quickly enough to stop it.

“Pika…”

Pikachu began glowing with an unholy light.

“CHUUUUUUUUUUU!”

A massive, dark pulse erupted from the rodent’s body, passing straight through Master Chief’s armor and hitting him at his core. The force of the attack sent him flying like a blow from a Gravity Hammer, and he collided with the wall in a satisfying crunch of bones.

The electric mouse giggled as only it could do, and scampered off into the ship.

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

Roll Casket was wandering the halls of the crew quarters that night.

It looked as if she was looking for someone, but she didn’t know who or where it would be. After walking the corridors for a long while, she finally stopped. The door she stood before intrigued her for some reason. Mustering her courage, she opened it slightly and peeked inside.

At the far end of the room, with its back to her, was a being wearing bright orange armor. Roll stifled a gasp, but remained mesmerized. She began to slowly open the door until it was only half closed.

The Hunter had not noticed her, but seemed to be preoccupied with something in her Visor. Roll continued to study her closely. Finally, deciding she had seen enough, she began to slowly close the door in order to leave. But when it was almost closed, the hinges of the steel door let out a loud, squeaking creak that broke the silence.

The Hunter whipped around in a flash, just to see the door close shut. She fired a missile at the door and then barged straight through it, denting it and knocking it off of its hinges. She saw the girl running down the corridor and gave pursuit, charging up a beam in her arm cannon.

As she turned a corner, the Hunter aimed for the girl’s legs and fired. Then she slowed her pace. When she approached Roll, her leg was encased in ice and frozen to the ground. She was in hysterical fear, trying frantically to break free.

The Hunter raised her arm cannon slowly until it was level with Roll’s face. She was so close as to be within reach of Roll’s arms, and noticing this the girl pulled out her wrench and started frantically hitting her with it. The Hunter was unfazed, and allowed her Ice Beam to charge up to its full potential. Then she fired. Roll screamed.

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

The scream of Roll Casket was loud enough that it roused the nearby Adam Malkovich from his light sleep.

He rushed out into the corridor only to find the body of Roll transformed into something resembling an ice sculpture, and the culprit gone. Not wanting to stick around and end up frozen in ice like the girl, he began to quickly move down the corridors toward the exit of the crew’s quarters section of the ship.

Just as he was about to leave the quarters, a figure in jet-black armor with a glowing red visor blocked his way.

“Commander Malkovich… how strange to see you at this hour of the night.”

Adam recognized the armor, but could not see the face inside. He cautiously put his hand to his gun.

“Identify yourself, soldier.”

“Now, now, Commander. No need for formalities. It’s quite late. You should really be getting back to sleep.”

“I’m not tired. Out of my way, soldier!”

“But Commander… I INSIST!”

The dark figure fired a beam of pure light energy at point-blank range. The searing blast struck Malkovich in the chest and went clear through, incinerating his armor and the flesh in between. He fell backwards to the ground, somehow faintly conscious even with a smoldering crater in his chest. The dark figure stood over him.

“You see, Commander… the Lady? She had an objection.”

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

Anthony Higgs, patrolling the depths of the ship, heard the screams first and then the gunfire second.

As quickly as he could, he began moving out towards the crew quarters. Through the clanking of his armor, he did not see or hear the glowing orb floating slowly behind him, following him. The orb did not disturb him, however… yet.

When Higgs reached the mutilated body, he grimaced and knelt over it. Opening the visor plate, he was shocked to see who was underneath.

“No! Commander…”

The face of Adam Malkovich was peaceful in death, but obviously had not been so moments prior while he was living. Hefting his mini-gun, Higgs stood back up.

“You will be avenged… I swear it! Samus…”

Upon turning around, he noticed the massive creature that had been lurking behind him all this time.

Were he not weighted down by the gun and armor, he would have jumped from the shock. He reacted quickly, firing up the mini-gun and burying the creature in bullets. Heavy weapon or no, however, the creature seemed all but impervious to it. And there was no heavier weapon than the one the creature was about to use.

Pulsating with light, the orb at its center unleashed a hellish storm of energy. When the blinding light faded, the bodies of both Anthony Higgs and Adam Malkovich had been completely obliterated.

The creature’s limbs disappeared and the orb floated away.

Begin Day 7!

It will end at 12:30 AM tomorrow night.

Results will be out ASAP.

[thefluffyone93]

HAH!
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT GOREA!
.......aw snap......we in trouble...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I want to look at ironside and classical hero today...will maybe reread some key parts of the game.

[Double A]

Cecil, you should have been using the shotgun... and chest-high walls? What were you thinking? You should know that's not your thing!

[thefluffyone93]

Wow...I just noticed that two heroes were killed tonight.
Also, I also have a hunch that Gorea is in his own faction, much like ATPG was,
since I seriously doubt he would join Samus. But this is just based off the info from the metroid wiki,
so who knows if Chaotix changed Gorea's attitude.
Although him being another member of the phazon group is another possibility, but I doubt that as well.
Why would an ancient entity capable of wiping out an entire civilization join with dark Samus' forces?
Doesn't make sense to me.
But hey, 'tis all speculation. (I sound so fancy!)

Also, if Chaotix stays true to the wiki, then only samus would be able to kill gorea, as she possesses the Omega cannon.
But I might be relying too heavily on wiki info, so you can ignore this if you want.

[PershsNhpios]

Nasty! I am definitely not picking them in this game. But I am still going with what I have and choosing Skooma, Csargo, Beefy and classical_hero. I don't see much reason to suspect our newly-returned players yet based on those who were previously playing them.

Skooma is my top pick.

Vote: Skooma Addict

[Askthepizzaguy]

The "dead" list could use a bit more red.

[Beefy187]

Skooma sounds good to me.
Vote: Skooma

I've finally gained a new ability, making me somewhat useful again.

[classical_hero]

vote:Skooma Addict. I also have learned a few things recently, but they ar only for self defence, it is only good if I am attacked.

[Csargo]

I've had a few so I'll just vote:Csargo until I can actually look over and find someone worth lynching :D

[Seon]

I would much rather see Vote: classical hero dead.

[PershsNhpios]

I am this |----| close to voting for Beefy or Classical_hero...

[Diamondeye]

I think Vote:Ironside would make an excellent lynch. We're kinda running out of time, and as Pizza says, that list could use some red.

[Yaropolk]

I think Vote:Ironside would make an excellent lynch. We'ð
re kinda running out of time, and as Pizza says, that list could use some red.

Vote: Ironside the corrupted marine appeared one day after I revealed him as a GF survivor in thread, so I think he may be it. I really hope god emperor told someone who he investigated tonight.

[Frozen In Ice]

Good luck town, I guess all the suspicion Autolycus put on me wasn't enough to keep me alive from the mafia's point of view.

[Romanic]

Stay around to help us Frozen. Who's your pick for today's lynch?

[Diamondeye]

Another good candidate in my opinion would be JohnHughThom. Winston agrees.

[Romanic]

My top picks are : Skooma, johnhughthom, Csargo.

But I wouldn't mind an Ironside lynch after reviewing his posts.

I've considered that idea. The thing is that Jill Valentine is IDFH... And Samus pulling that on day one is stupidly risky. I think it refers to the defender, but I'm not sure.

Edit: The most bizzare one would be Dark Samus and interestingly enough, not impossible. Very unlikely, but not impossible. Beskar's hand was more pulled by the investigator than by his own choise in the scenario he has given.

A fair question was raised about how Ironside figured that Jill Valentine was IDFH.

Guess who came to the rescue? Beskar!

I will need to scroll back to read his post in full, but from what you quoted, I will respond.

Out of GF and IDFH, and every GF member has 'GF' in their name, and every IDFH has been a 'hero' character. This would place me on the IDFH side of things.

From the information I can seem to gather though, Phazon are using IDFH members as cover roles and Samus is using GF roles as cover roles. The 'Hero' faction seems to possess both 'GF and IDFH' typical members.

So according this, if I was on a mafia team, it would be on TinCow's team, not Samus or on Team Samus.

This goes back to YLC's far-out-there theory, where I am TinCow's team mate. This is also arguably not true because TinCow is using his resources to kill me off. This is from him accusing me of being Samus, his team has night killed me, they have night killed people I know in Real Life in attempt to get at me, and his various other methods. In short, if I was Tincow's team mate, him and his team wouldn't be putting in a serious effort to kill me.

Did Ironside really figured Jill Valentine was IDFH because he realized how the roles were teamed up, or did he know Beskar's cover role?

Ironside's votes so far: YLC, TinCow, Renata, no vote, abstain, Captain Blackadder.

He lynched two Phazons and two townies. It fits the story that he's on Samus' team.

Everyone he voted for is dead. That's scummy.

He didn't vote to lynch a revealed neutral, that's also a scummy clue to me (though I know some of you don't agree).

Yeah, I wouldn't mind Ironside to be lynched.
