I PMed Shadows once...

Where did you come from?!?!

I'm special! And the hosts have been watching to much Psych.

Baritones IV!!!!! And I love the new title.

Additional Easter Egg: Ossie (Rufus) and Is (Pandora) from IMHOTEP.

The Pearl - Conclusion Bon Voyage! The crowd had surrounded Betty / Ferrik and two different security guards arrived to escort her away. "Not so fast, megablocks! Reach for the sky!" "Where did you hide that gun?" someone asked, noting Betty's swimsuit. The two expendable security guards hit the deck immediately, fearing for their lives as the others raised their hands in distress. However, Betty had clearly forgotten about Bill, who produced a rod and hit Betty over the head with it. The diamond fell out of her swimsuit, revealing Betty / Ferrik to be the last and final Thief. "Where did you get that rod, Bill?" someone asked. "It's my Johnson Rod." Bill said. "Not so fast!" Susan / TinyPiesRUs said. "Holy hell, how many factions are in this game?" someone asked. "Now I have the diamond!" "What are you going to do with it?" someone asked. "I'm not sure. My role pm doesn't tell me what to do with it once I have it." she replied. Susan put the diamond down and walked off out of the Ice Lounge. She was a Criminal. "I am a scum too! Why won't you guys lynch me?! I've been telling you I'm scum for the past two days!" Michael / badboytje88 said. blam! "You're welcome, Phil." "Thanks!" Phil replied off camera. Michael / badboytje88 was an Amateur Thief. "I've checked the roster. It would appear that we've gotten all of the thieves, master criminals, criminals, non-players, and amateur thieves." "Hooray!" the town called out. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that the passengers aren't going to make it. Staff!" Each member of the staff produced a weapon. "Seriously. Where are you guys hiding these things?" someone asked. And with each passenger cut down and gone, Captain Bob / Bob, the Super Mastermind and the Pearl's Staff could rest easy knowing that they would be safe from all lawsuits and potential spoilers of future mystery cruises. "Bring up the convicted." he said. The living scum assembled in front of the Staff while Jordan / Tamamono, the only surviving passenger, waited to the side. "I'm sure you're wondering who your mysterious benefactor is." "Yes, who?!" the scum asked. "It was us. The staff of the Pearl. Myself really. The others just played along." He turned to Jordan. "And you, Jordan. I trust you will not mention this to anyone?" "Baby, baby, baby, you can count on that." Jordan said. ~~~ Congratulations to the following teams!: Innocents def TinyPiesRUs Amateur Thieves for a win in the fasted mafia game to date. Thanks for playing!

It was rather useless and there was going to be an MOC contest using the set numbers, but that just ended up confusing everyone because people thought that the set numbers correlated with allegiance. Additionally, the scum didn't stand a chance in this game. There were technically five investigators, and in this game it would be to the neutrals advantage to work with the townies rather than the scum. Something I didn't account for is what badboytje88 did on Day Three. He went and revealed that Peanuts was indeed scum. So, that's one thing that I would drop. Adding the amateur thieves team was also another mistake. They were always supposed to be introduced, before I'm accused of adding them in to attempt to bring in a new balance to the game. That is why, if you will notice, they're the only other husband and wife (other than Rufus and Ferrik, and Ferrik is already aligned with scum) so they make a natural scum team. Nobody picked up on this, really. I'm ready for a brutal thrashing, so have at thee. Once again, thank you for playing. Easter Eggs: Ernst the Chef from Day One and Two is from Mystery Castle. Johnson Rod that Bill is holding is from TheBrickster's Murder On The Emerald Express game. Excalibur's Engine Room is the same as the Pearl's Engine Room. Jordan Blieber is Justin Bieber. http://123.writeboar...uupj43fdptjoon3 password: manoverboard!

The Pearl - Day Four A Very Messy Night Holly / Nightshroud99 and another figure are standing in the lounge for no good reason other then to set up the scene. Holly proudly possesses the diamond. "I swear this is a ruby." she says. "Don't antagonize the host." the other figure says. "Why are you shadowy? Everyone knows who you are." "Just in case people decided not to read the day thread." Suddenly, Barbara / def and another figure approached at the same time from different directions. "I'd like that diamond, Holly." Babs said. "Oh no you don't." the other figure replied. "That's mine." "Hah! You wish!" Babs said, getting all up in the other figures face. "I'll fight you for it!" "You're on! Bitch!" Babs yelled. The two fought on the floor while Holly and the figure watched, not knowing what to do. Eventually, Barbara emerged as a victor. "Don't mess with Babs, my dear." she said. "Now, where was I?" "Ahem." another figure said. The figure shot Barbara / def in the back of the head. The other attempted thief fled into the night. Barbara was a Master Criminal. "Holy crap!" Holly yelled. "Everyone on the ship probably heard that!" "I don't give a rats megablocks anymore. Give me the diamond." The other original figure tried to wrestle the gun away from the silhouetted gunner, but failed and was hit on the head. "Give me the diamond!" "Uhm...can we talk this over?" Holly asked. "No." the figure said. It shot Holly. The figure took the diamond/ruby/emerald/stone/whatever and held it up. "Finally, we have it again!" it said. Holly / Nightshroud99 was an Amateur Thief Later, Timothy / Palathadric arrived on the scene. "Oh no! What a grim scene!" he said. snap And that was the end of Timothy / Palathadric. He was innocent. Bill once again took the stage. "Last night sure was a mess!" he said. "Timothy was Innocent, Bristol was a Thief, Holly was an Amateur Thief, and Barbara was a Master Criminal. Good work everyone. ~~~ Players: Alice (Passenger) - Played by Rumble Strike Betty (Passenger) - Played by Waterbrick Down Ferrik Bill (First Officer) - Played by Capt.

Each player will be given a character to play. That character will be aligned with either the Innocents or the Thieves. To win the game, the Innocents must vote or kill off all the Thieves, while the Thieves need to outnumber the Innocents. Additionally, keep on the look out for other factions. Each character was given a sort of “bare-bones” description. Expand on your character a bit, give them their own tropes and play with them. 2. Each day will be played out in its own topic. During a day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting must 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, meaning that over half of the remaining players must vote for the same player to warrant a lynch. 3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end after those 72 hours. After the day has concluded, a night will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of nighttime. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. 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 day threads. Similarly, do not post out-of-character inside the day threads. 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. Don't edit your posts. 9. Post in all of the day threads or else. 10. There are no clues in the pictures. If you feel I inserted a clue in a picture, please tell me privately and don’t make a fit of it in the thread. 11. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5-vote penalty against you on your first offense, and the death of your character on your second offense. Your character will also die in the most gruesome and awful way possible. I also won't cry. 12. Everyday there will be a certain “event” or theme aboard the ship. You will be told what said event is and you may participate or act accordingly to the event. You must post during this time. I won’t tolerate lurking or inactivity in this game. 13. Have fun! This is a cruise ship and a vacation, put all the seriousness aside and post all you want.

As per usual, two new guards arrived to escort Bristol / Peanuts out of the Ice Lounge. The singer looked completely distraught to the point of tears as she was taken out of her favorite spot on the entire vessel. There would be no more parties or themes to those currently involved in the situation. They were far too worried about survival and their own skins. The guests and staff left rather quickly, some to sleep and others to go out and prowl the corridors.
