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

[Frozen In Ice]

I think Ironside should be lynched, let Classical live. Based on votes Ironside isn't Phazon Pikachu, but he could be a Bowser Corruption, while Classical isn't likely to be either. But by god don't do another double lynch, and major fos on those setting up double lynches in the past, except for the first one of course.

[thefluffyone93]

Standby for the write-up.

Day 7

The next day, the crew was on the verge of a panic. The second-in-command of the GF troops, Adam Malkovich, had been brutally murdered, and it seemed that the insurgents were gaining the upper hand. They would have to get their act together quickly if they wanted to survive.

At the end of the day, there was a clear consensus, and Admiral Dane was called in to read the votes.

“Today, the crew member you have determined to be guilty is… James Pierce, GF trooper and communications expert for the 07th Platoon. Pierce, please step forward.”

James Pierce, wearing the blue armor that all 07th Platoon troopers wore, confidently walked toward the center of the room.

“Pierce, what is your defense?”

“My defense? You don’t want to see my defense yet, trust me. First, I’ve gotta say something. You GF troopers are all idiots, you know that? The only reason Samus is out killing people at night is because we’re harboring this IDFH scum on board.”

“Pierce, where is this going?”

“And you, too, Admiral Dane. Shut up and listen! You keep telling us we have to catch Samus, but really all we’ve gotta do is jettison Captain Falcon and his so-called heroes out the airlock. Then we’ll have our favorite bounty hunter back on our side, and she’ll go and wipe out that Space Pirate homeworld we were heading out for. You’re all fools to sit here and agree to die one by one, when life is easily achievable!”

“That’s quite enough! It’s clear you’re not working in the best interests of this ship, Pierce!”

“You’re right, Dane, I’ve said enough already…”

James Pierce deactivated the cloaking device on his armor and revealed his true form.

His armor turned a jet-black color. Pierce lowered the visor, and it was shown to be a bright, angry red.

“Behold! I am THE DELETER! I am here to erase from existence all those not loyal to Samus Aran.”

Many of the crew members gasped. The IDFH warriors readied for battle, but some of the GF troopers were hesitant to act.

“And I will start with YOU, Admiral Dane! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

The Deleter fired a blast of pure light energy from his gun, straight at Admiral Dane. He was struck head-on and stumbled backward. The attack that had killed Malkovich yesterday, however, was not powerful enough to defeat the Admiral. Dane regained his balance, pulled out a heavy machine gun of his own, and opened fire on the Deleter.

But the bullets just bounced off of the Deleter’s shiny black armor. With nearly super-human speed, he charged Dane, disarmed him, and struck him with the butt of his gun, knocking the Admiral to his knees. He held the gun to Dane’s head. Admiral Dane looked more annoyed than afraid, but did not move.

“Now, fools! You shall all submit to the will of Samus Aran, or the only thing left of your precious Admiral Dane will be his fancy hat! And I will wear the fancy hat! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

Nobody dared move now. Well, almost nobody.

“HYAAAAAAH!”

Charging to the Admiral’s rescue was the hero Link. The Deleter, in a moment of panic after seeing the sharp sword heading straight for him, turned and began firing at the green-clad hero.

In the process, he fell directly into Link’s gambit. Link raised his Mirror Shield and easily deflected the blasts of light. Then, closing in, he bashed the Deleter with the shield itself. Even through heavy armor, the blow had a dizzying effect on the dark warrior. Link was prepared to run him through with the Master Sword, but before he could do so he was interrupted.

Admiral Dane, having risen to his feet in the confusion, grabbed the Deleter by the neck and lifted him off the ground. Then, with his other hand, he punched with all of his strength.

“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

The remains of James Pierce had to be cleaned up by the maintenance droids.

Begin Night 7!

It's going to be like a 36-hour deal (probably a bit longer). I want this phase to end at 4:00 PM EST on Monday. Otherwise I'd be doing a night write-up at 2 AM, which would be... not fun for me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

FINISH THEM!!! FINISH THEM!!!!

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

MOAR!! MOAR!!!

[ByzantineKnight]

Glenn is next, he was trying really hard to save Ironside

[PershsNhpios]

ByzantineKnight, I would understand suspicion of me regarding my opinion that Ironside was a bad vote, but you seem to be exaggerating my attempts to 'save' him. I would almost lynch you. You are on the list.

Good job on the lynch though, I am really annoyed at my guesswork this game.

Does this mean we have one Phazon and one Bowser to go, or what?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Rereading that day, fluffy did several extremely suspicious things, and classical doesn't look so bad.

My guess would be one Phazon and two Bowser, due to a lack of Samus kill on a previous night.

ByzantineKnight is dead, ya know. He's not going to be a suspect....

[PershsNhpios]

Oh bloody hell!

Glenn:

1. Go to bed.

2. Read everything which occurred after your initial ban thoroughly before offering judgement.

Sorry Byzantine.

[Ironside]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

FINISH THEM!!! FINISH THEM!!!!

This was about my estimated life expectancy. And that lovely role made it all easier. My mafia pic is at my cover role's wikipedia.
Another Deleter will take my place anyway.

And for the fun of it:

It made some sort of a signal with its hands, and suddenly the liquid in the tank 242 was suspended in froze. 242’s major functions were stalled, and the figure slipped away into the shadows.

Both Samus and Pikachu have ice based attacks. Enjoy.

Romanic, I still don't know the alignment of Beskar's cover, I never asked.

[Diamondeye]

What's the case on Skooma? Is it just his lurkiness? I think the case on Classical Hero is much stronger than skooma. God emperor was an investigator (Roll Casket in the writeup). Last night he investigated Classical Hero according to landlubber. In the writeup we see him walking into Samus's room and spying on her, then samus turns around and kills him.

I don't think it works that way, sadly. There's a reason why GE isn't allowed to reveal his targets - why would the host do so, then?

First off, I think for now the town should focus on trying to find original mafia members, as they will left a lot more evidence inthread than recruited ones. We can get the recruited ones later. Following this logic, the following ignores the recruit possibility.

So I've started going through the thread and taking notes on all the living players and this is what I noticed about Classical on day 1.

classical_hero
-Renata votes Classical hero (Day 1- 1st)
-Beskar votes Classical Hero (Day 1 -2nd)
-Beskar unvotes while Classical Hero was tied (Day 1) changes vote to someone who was not in the lead, but was close

I'd say Renata placing the first vote on him day 1 doesn't say all that much. Perhaps it makes him slightly less likely to be on the Phazon team, but a day 1 first vote on a mafia partner usually isn't that dangerous. Beskar however, places the second vote on Classical Hero, while at the time the leading candidate had like three or four votes. Normally I would say right here that this would prove Classical Hero can't be Samus, as it is an extremely risky move to put a second vote on their partner. However, Beskar was playing pretty risky this game, and he did unvote Classical later on in the round, but it is important to note that he switched his vote to someone not already ahead of Classical. It would have been much more telling if that had been the case. The fact that Renata never unvoted while Classical was near the lead reduces his chances of being Phazon. Later on Classical joins the Tincow wagon so I think there is very little chance he is actually Phazon.

So in conclusion, simply based on the above info, I find it unlikely Classical is Samus, but still possible. I find it very unlikely that he is Phazon.

I agree... I think there are better lynched, JHT and Glenn to name the top suspects.

I feel that Ironside is a mistake...

Glenn is next, he was trying really hard to save Ironside

ByzantineKnight, I would understand suspicion of me regarding my opinion that Ironside was a bad vote, but you seem to be exaggerating my attempts to 'save' him. I would almost lynch you. You are on the list.

Does this mean we have one Phazon and one Bowser to go, or what?

... Byz is dead. You're grasping at straws, man.

I think you're right there's one Phazon left. There might be two Bowser guys, though.

[Yaropolk]

Nobody is bothered by the fact that Ironside took his punishment so stoically? He didn't bother defending himself, he didn't switch his vote to the 2nd highest person (CH). He was protecting CH! Classical hero needs to die, very badly!

Fluffy started out voting for glenn, then switched to CH when CH was 2 votes behind. Once I asked people to vote for CH and pever did, making the vote difference only 1 vote, Fluffy voted for Ironside (40 mnis before end of round). This could be a skum move to sacrifice Iron in order to prevent a double lynch of 2 mafia.

[Frozen In Ice]

So you're saying that Fluffy, a bowser mafia, saw that one of use bowser buddies, Ironside, was in first place so he then decides to vote for his second mafia buddy, Classical? I guess it's possible that they were trying to distance themselves from each other but that theory doesn't jump out at me or anything.

Also, I'm unconvinced that we can use Glenn's defending of Ironside as evidence against him. Mafia will defend their partners as long as they aren't in the lead in votes, but once they are, they usually don't as it is a very dangerous move. Basically, defending mafia that are about to die is a town move. So is not knowing ByzantineKnight is dead, bonus points if Bowser team killed him. Besides, just a few posts ago Glenn was asking for a double lynch between Ironside and Classical.

[Beskar]

I liked how Reenk Roink said me saying about the whole "voting block" thing was a diversion and how the town shouldn't concentrate on any of the members.

Egg on face.

[autolycus]

Idle Speculation on Setup of Game and other stuff.
At Start of Game
3 Bowser Corrupted: Samus, Shadow Peach, Deleter
3 Phazon Corrupted: Dark Samus, Pikachu, Corrupted Cloud Strife
2 Un-Corrupted Scum (Possibly allied): MetaRidley, Gorea
1 Neutral: King Dedede
8 Heroes, 4 GF-based, 4 IDFH-based: Admiral Dane, Captain Falcoln, Amaterasu, the 3 dead GF heroes, Link?, ???
15 GF Survivalists
15 IDFH Survivalists

Pikachu's Cover Role is likely a hero/GF character, since Shadow Peach was a Hero/IDFH cover. Samus likely has a GF cover, since Dark Samus was IDFH Cover.

If Chaotix is cycling through the home-worlds of the villains that survived to the end of CoV, next up should be Sonic or Fire Emblem


Finally, I will likely be subbing in for Rebel Jeb, so please don't kill him tonight :).

Oh... Samus and Bowser Corruption are the same team... oooooooooooooh.

Egg on face.

Are you implying that Ironside was actually an original Bowser corruption member so that it was worth to actually focus on the group?

Because you know, that doesn't jive with what you told Secura which basically forced her to leave the game because of knowing things while she was dead, a fate that I also share now. And it does jive with the fact that you try and use the group to distract from your team which is the only way you can help them after being flagged so early.

Go frighten some more children Mafia ghost.

[Romanic]

Romanic, I still don't know the alignment of Beskar's cover, I never asked.

Not sure why you are debating this.

It's obvious that you knew that Jill Valentine was IDFH because that's exactly what you wrote in the game thread. It doesn't matter how you got that information, by asking Beskar or not.

[thefluffyone93]

Fluffy started out voting for glenn, then switched to CH when CH was 2 votes behind. Once I asked people to vote for CH and pever did, making the vote difference only 1 vote, Fluffy voted for Ironside (40 mnis before end of round). This could be a skum move to sacrifice Iron in order to prevent a double lynch of 2 mafia.

Now wait a minute!
I only did that so the mafia couldn't cause a 2 or 3 way tie.
If you recall, it was 6 votes for Ironside, 5 votes for CH, and 4 for Skooma.
Anyone could have easily made a 6-6 between Ironside and CH, or they could have gone and caused a 5-5-5 tie between Ironside, CH, and Skooma. I don't know what would have happened if there was a 3 way tie, but we all know what happens in a two way tie.
And I never voted for glenn that round....

[TinCow]

Nice, so Reenk actually PMed three of us with that group? I'm going to notch up Ironside's death to being Reenked, even if the actual lynching itself was on another basis. His spectacular luck deserves further recognition.

[Reenk Roink]

Nice, so Reenk actually PMed three of us with that group? I'm going to notch up Ironside's death to being Reenked, even if the actual lynching itself was on another basis. His spectacular luck deserves further recognition.

It would only be considered that had Ironside been Mafia from the start rather than a later recruit. Which seems very unlikely considering it was Ironside himself who pointed to the possibility of someone being a leak to Beskar within the group, and Beskar's further insistence that a possible Team Samuser was in the group. Add the fact what Secura has said...

Unless of course it was their plan to try and use the group to mislead the town while risking the fact that one of them was actually in the group itself. I can't really fathom WHY Team Samus players would try such a foolish move , but it obviously backfired miserably...

Also, stop bastardizing my username with "Reenk maneuvers" and "Reenked" now... "Reenk Roink" is the sound your guitar makes when you make a mistake and rub your fingers across the strings.

[TinCow]

Some people just don't know how to take a compliment...

[Beskar]

Also, it appears Secura enjoys talking too much.

[Choxorn]

Ah. So we should call it "Roinked" then?
