mediumsnowman Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Somewhere in upstate New York... In a poorly MOC'ed control room... ...the occupants, members of a top-secret government organization known as SHIELD, were doing absolutely nothing, as per usual. "Ar baap re! Why is this pretzel the exact same color as my hand!" exclaimed Jafar Masrani (JackJonespaw). Meanwhile, Steven Schram (Khscarymovie4) showed off his weight-lifting skills, and Kinjobby O'Laughlin (Junior Shark) sprouted out an incomprehensible stream of gibberish. Hailey Coleman (Comrade Commander) chased around her mutant spider (a reject from a former experiment.) "Come back here my pretty! We can't have you running around making more Spider-Man's! Spider-Men! Whatever!" A Plot Device (NPC) watched disapprovingly. And then, Director Fury (mediumsnowman) returned with the board executives... "Listen up, scrubs! I just finished taking these executives on an exhausting tour of our massive Helicarrier and I'm tired and cranky! It's late at night and my camera died! Get in an orderly fashion. I have an important announcement." Because nobody wanted to face his Fury while he was tired and cranky, they listened. For the most part. David Leffel (fhomess) continued to lurk in the shadows, like he always does. "I've been reviewing some archived security footage and lab files, and I have chanced among something rather... disturbing. Myself, as well as agents Hill and Coulson, believe that among us, sinister forces-" Plot Device (NPC) didn't let him finish his sentence. He elbowed through the crowd in a mad rush for Director Fury... "SHIELD isn't a peacekeeper, it's a monster! You are the sinister forces here. It is our duty to liberate humanity from-" ...but Agent Hill was quicker on the draw. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* The assailant went down in a pool of plastic blood. "...Hail HYDRA..." were his last words. Director Fury seized the moment to speak. "It is as we feared... they are among us. Speak among yourselves... decide who within your ranks has been corrupted by HYDRA. You have 72 hours. Bring me a HYDRA agent or face the consequnces of a Day 1 mislynch." Host (1) Nick Fury, played by mediumsnowman NPC’s (2) Phil Coulson, NPC Maria Hill, NPC Players (16) Daniel Bartell, played by mostlytechnic James Cunningham, played by Bob Eugene Lawson, played by Forresto Jafar Masrani, played by JackJonespaw Hailey Coleman, played by Comrade Commander Todd Castillo, played by Tariq j Jasper Heinz, played by PirateDave84 Cecilia Reed, played by Darkdragon Jeffrey Brown, played by Dragonfire Walter Williams, played by jluck Robert Thorn, played by Umbra-Manis David Leffel, played by fhomess Steven Schram, played by Khscarymovie4 Alyssa Turner, played by CallMePie Kinjobby O’Laughlin, played by Junior Shark Margaret Corrigan, played by Lady K The Rules! 1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either SHIELD or HYDRA. To win the game, SHIELD must kill off all the HYDRA agents, while HYDRA needs to outnumber SHIELD. Third-Party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles. 2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. You must place a vote each day. 3. A game day will last 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the following day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host, or in PM with any other players. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 8. You may not edit your posts, unless you are me. Your beloved host often makes typos and will be compelled to correct them. 9. You must post in every day thread. 10. There probably aren't clues in the pictures or flavor text. Wildly speculate if you must. It's fun. 11. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM. 12. Violation of the above rules will result in a vote penalty of half the required majority against you on your first and second offense, and the death of your character on your third offense. Violation of rule 7 will have a heavier penalty, including suspension, made at the discretion of the Games Moderator. Let the games begin!

Khscarymovie4 Posted March 8, 2016 I hate to say it, but I think one of the executives is part of HYDRA. They have the power to put plans, and actions into effect. I think one of them is setting us all up, so HYDRA can take over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khscarymovie4 Posted March 8, 2016 Oh dear. Shouldn't we just call in the avengers for this one? Punching Hydra masterminds is kind of their thing. Nah, That would cost Director Fury more money if they help out. About half of us are highly trained. We can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted March 8, 2016 What? Also be careful, you edited your post which is prohibited Apologies I typing playing tetris when the boss wasnt around at the same time.

mostlytechnic Posted March 8, 2016 ...the occupants, members of a top-secret government organization known as SHIELD, were doing absolutely nothing, as per usual. *snip for length* Because nobody wanted to face his Fury while he was tired and cranky, they listened. For the most part. David Leffel (fhomess) continued to lurk in the shadows, like he always does. So... first, we obviously aren't doing absolutely nothing. I see lots of food there. We're clearly eating on a union-mandated break time. Harumph. Second, since rule 10 explicitly allows for wild speculation, I suggest that we have a hint here in the story and should begin by lynching David for day 1. All in favor? Anyone? No? Oh, so you're just going to leave the 'stache hanging. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediumsnowman Posted March 8, 2016 Eugene Lawson (Forresto) has received a vote penalty of half the required majority for editing his post. Vote Tally 4 votes for Eugene Lawson (Forresto): (Penalty x4) Nonvoting: (Everyone) With 16 players remaining, a majority of 9 is required to lynch. Approximately 13 hours remain until voting opens.

I wanted to vote for you for the way you positioned HYDRA as "the" HYDRA ealier ... now if I do this, I'll be the guy going for the easy lynch ... Why'd you have to edit your post!

Bob Posted March 8, 2016 Aroooooo! Freakin' Plot Device. I knew that guy was bad news. I could smell it. Hey Eugene, put your name in your signature so I can call you an idiot for editing your post without having to go and look at the roster. Second, since rule 10 explicitly allows for wild speculation, I suggest that we have a hint here in the story and should begin by lynching David for day 1. All in favor? Anyone? No? Oh, so you're just going to leave the 'stache hanging. Thanks. That's stupid. You're an idiot too, Daniel. It was hard to see who you are this game because you've got all your old roles in your signature too. Nick Fury wouldn't make it that obvious. I hate to say it, but I think one of the executives is part of HYDRA. They have the power to put plans, and actions into effect. I think one of them is setting us all up, so HYDRA can take over. Hm. This is a slightly more intelligent post, so I won't call you an idiot because it's a possibility. Any one of us could be scum. You could be scum. I think you're scum.

fhomess Posted March 8, 2016 I'd like to file a formal complaint with our narrator and character description author... I can't actively non-participate if you keep calling me out for it. How am I supposed to fly under the radar then? Also... if Jafar is feeding us hand-colored pretzels, it seems like it's only a matter of time before we bite the hand that feed us! Oh, and booooo Hydra! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
