The Summoner stands outside the castle, contemplating his next course of action. "These pathetic rodents, they've killed my family!" From over his shoulder, he hears a delighted singing: Poundsie poundsie! Me'll makes the clergy into moundsies! Knight is having none of it though. He turns to the skeletal man approaching him. "I have had enough of you. I will not be a victim of your poundings today!" He grabs his jaw and yanks off his head to reveal a gruesome visage. "WALLA WALLA BONGA!" As he is about to pull the trigger on his laser-contraption, the clanking sound of stamping feet approach. Sir Carrots leaped out, saving the Pounder's life. The ray pews off his shield, striking the green thing in the face. In only a moment, the fate of the men standing there has truly changed. Staring at the green globs on the ground, they count their lucky stars that things have resulted as they have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christos Knight was Scum. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That next morning, Sir Carrots tells the tale to the boy king. "And then the ray went pew!" Sir Carrot says, with a rush of joy. "There is only one of them left, if the puzzle is to be trusted." The boy king is almost pleased. "Thank you, good Sir Carrots, you have done well. Now, please, step aside, there is at least one more life to take today." Pirelly Dabito is escorted into the room. "What have you to say, Dabito?" Dabito is about to speak, "I~" His head falls to the ground, revealing its true form. "I didn't really care what he had to say, so why not just get it over with." The boy king looks at the fourth and final Witchbreed, still, on the floor. "My people, you have done well. It seems you have rid my kingdom of these... things." He turns to Wolverton. "As the man in charge of day to day operations here, what dost thou thinks? Be we safe," he asks. Wolverton considers his answer carefully. "For the time being, I trust we will not be troubled by these creatures again." Satisfied, the boy king turns and addresses his subjects, "I am very proud of you, you have done well this day, and I expect us to return to the normal cheerfulness we celebrate daily here." He stops and thinks. "Oh, and whoever this 'Pounder' fellow is... Stop it. This pounding behavior is unacceptable!" The crowd titters, knowing the hand he had in clearing the kingdom. "Very well, carry on!" The crowd disperses, and Wolverton mutters to himself. "Yes, carry on." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Town (and Serial Killer) wins! More thoughts coming up, but I know people are waiting, so I'll update this later. Afterlife Writeboard: http://123.writeboard.com/d8791pgvcs870cj5/login Password: witchbreed

Wow, I really ducked that up, next time I'll differentiate my pronouns more. I'll try to live it down. In other news, if this situation isn't over tomorrow, I'm going to kill Mr. Freeze

I have to run out to work for two hours. I planned to have the next day up before I went, but I'm still waiting on some night actions When I get home, about two hours from now, I will take the pics, write it up, and post it, with or without everyone's actions. So, expect it in three to four hours

Well folks, it looks like this is going to be our last night in Gotham It seems that Zsasz and Ra's have pretty much admitted they're scum. Or at least rolled over to play dead before their time had come Joker's going to blow Zsasz away tomorrow morning, and I have a feeling Ra's is going to be ripped to pieces by somebody in the night If they both turn out to be scum, we'll have crushed six scumbags in five days. We'll have killed more scumbags than they killed of us. Strangely enough, we'll have killed more of us than they did They will go down in history as the worst scum team ever. And their names will be whispered in hushed, snickering tones for years to come. Of course, that's if Zsasz and Ra's are both actually scum. There were 24 of us, so it seems to me that six is the absolute max there could have been. We'll see. This is all hypothesizing though. One thing I can say though: The Creeper will be here tomorrow, taunting your transparent scum behavior and poking fun at your elementary school English.

What is it with the scum totally sucking in this game? We have two choices of who to believe: you, who has done "nothing" this entire time, or the watcher who has given me results since day one starting with the Ventrioquist? Hmm... It's a hard choice. Same as with the rest of you scummies, if you're going to lie, at least make it plausible. I swear, the real goal of these scummies is to rob me of any satisfaction in winning this by playing so damn terribly And to the rest of you, don't go jumping off a sky-scrapper

Here's the message. Croc wasn't 100% requested, but I said Oky claimed Croc was the vig in thread... Maybe we can punish Ra's for criminally not paying attention to the game days... Regardless, he was seen targeting Egghead, so he was still caught in a lie. LIAR!

It seems this statement from me has got his attention (one week later!). He has messaged me and claims to have targeted Mr. Freeze last night. Of course, I knew he'd targeted Egghead, while I had requested he target Killer Croc. LIAR! :thumbdown:

So, would you folks like to see Ra's die? He's done nothing in thread, and like a few others, he's done nothing in PM either. He made a roleclaim to me, but now won't even reply with his results (I suppose I'm not the most trustworthy one here... ) Here's his claims The suspicious part is his claim of targeting Nightshroud Zsasz day one, then me the next time. Funny enough, the Ventriloquist protected Deadshot day one, and me the next night. I told him I wasn't the vig, and that I have a defensive ability... He seems curious about my ability, for the sake of "learning about his own"... Maybe. And since then he hasn't responded to any messages. Anyway, between his failure to participate, his lack of interest in communicating, and the supposed uselessness of his night actions (Zsasz also couldn't get night results, apparantly), I'm ready to take him out. What do you say? This is a mini lynch game. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Me, I say: Ra's

Day Ends Final Vote Tally: Pirelly Dabito (Piratedave) 6 : Scubacarrot, volcanicpanik, Skipper, Yumiyoshi, Wuntin, ChromeKnight Sir Carrots (Scubacarrot) 2 : Piratedave84, darkdragon Please send in those night actions, folks!

There's no bridge though. It's on an island. There should be decent rates on Skymark between Tokyo and Sapporo/Chitose. I'm assuming you were looking at a flight to Chitose? That's the city next to Sapporo which has the bulk of the flights. I would imagine you could get round trip for ¥30,000. (looking on Skymark's site, they have one-way tickets as cheap as ¥7,800! Keep looking!) http://www.skymark.co.jp/ja/

Not at all. One is my decision, the other is the will of the people. I'm sure if the Ventriloquist had turned up town, people would have been pissed. I was gambling on his second (third!) protector claim being bull. And it was

Well, I actually thought Scarecrow was scum. Ra's, I just think is incredibly lazy. Is that worth killing someone?

Vote Tally: Pirelly Dabito (Piratedave) 3 : Scubacarrot, volcanicpanik, Skipper Sir Carrots (Scubacarrot) 2 : Piratedave84, darkdragon Yet to vote are Wuntin, ChromeKnight and Yumiyoshi. I will be working when the day ends just over four hours from this post. I won't be able to promptly close the day, but votes or changes after that point will not be counted. See the first post of this thread to see the exact time the day will end

No, I'm as likely to vote for someone who "supports" me here. His doubt of my claim is 100% based on the fact that he isn't here paying attention, much like you didn't pay attention to the bolded text I used to explain the case against Zsasz to you. He might be town, who knows? But showing up every 72 hours and saying a little, at the same time literally doing nothing helpful behind the scenes... He needs some muck flung at him. Really, there is nothing positive I have to say about his behavior except he's good at making excuses. Some of the laziness I've seen on display this game is really unbelievable. A lot of people here are eligible for a nice fat win soon. You'd think they'd start showing more enthusiasm to be involved. But you guys have your ways, and the Creeper has mine

Unvote: Zsasz (nightshroud) Vote: Ra's (fred Fred) Just getting ready for tomorrow

:roflmao: Once again, the only people getting offended at the Creeper are the scum. I realize you were all talking about me together, cursing my name, so it's easy to share the same language. Honestly, I find it hilarious that the scumbums have had their feelings hurt so much in this game situation. If having an investigation against you is not a reason to vote, I don't know what is. We had no evidence against Catwoman. I clearly stated it. We had strong circumstantial evidence against Deadshot. I clearly stated it. We had strong circumstantial evidence against the Ventriloquist. (I'm sure some of you who aren't Mr. Freeze see where this is going....) I clearly stated it. We had circumstantial evidence against the Pieman. I clearly stated it. We had no evidence against the Scarecrow. (Mr. Freeze is starting to clue in...) I clearly stated it. Today, we have evidence against you! The first time! I'm clearly stating it now! I'll come right out and say it. I killed Scarecrow. I killed four scum and one townie so far. And you think that's a scum ploy? Once again, like Deadshot, like the Pieman, it's great to lie and all, but at least make it a plausible one. For future reference when you're playing mafia games in Hell I'm going to be busy for a while, but if anyone wants to look through the last few days voting record and see how much Zsasz had been "drinking the Kool-aid," please do. It'll give us more to taunt him about It's true! 1. I don't think I have been calling people out for grammar mistakes. That's unpossible I have pointed out some people's fundamental misunderstanding of the meanings of words. That's different. 2. No, that's a moronic plan. Kill one of you own? Maybe. Kill four of them? That's Zsasz-level stupidity 3. If I were scum, I would just kill people myself, not use a vig. Think about it, Zsasz, think! Anyway, Zsasz, you missed the point in your defense. You got an agent reading. You're supposed to argue why it wasn't accurate (framed, lying investigator, etc), not call me the scumbum. I'm just the messenger. I'm afraid you fouled up your lie so much now, like Deadshot, nobody is going to believe you I guess there's nothing else to do except change those dirty diapers and bite the bullet. 24 hours have passed, so Vote: Mr. Zsasz/Nightshroud

Vote Tally: Pirelly Dabito (Piratedave) 3 : Scubacarrot, volcanicpanik, Skipper Sir Carrots (Scubacarrot) 2 : Chromeknight, Piratedave84 Skip Pudding (Skipper) 1 : darkdragon

Dear criminals, It has come to my attention today that one of our criminal cohorts, the one and only king of the cold, the sultan of shiver himself, Mr. Freeze, has never been given the chance to learn his own native language Isn't this, my friends, the real crime? That one such as this could have fallen through the cracks of Gotham's education system. I will be taking up a collection dish in order to accumulate enough funds to send dear Mr. Freeze to a remedial high school English class. Please give generously, won't you?

I'm not going to bet my life on it, but it's a fair enough chance. The info I got from this person before was reliable, and I can always throw him under the bus if he's wrong

Why don't you guys consider that some 'quiet sheep' are working very hard with me behind the scenes? Why squabble like this? Just relax a little I'll have you know we have an investigator still. They've cleared a few, which only means so much in a situation where some scum can read as Criminal, but we have found another filthy agent, who goes by the name of Mr. Zsasz! Now, let us heckle and ridicule him until we finally put him out of his mercy with a bullet to the head

Thanks Sure enough, when I have time later in the day. Creeps has work to do!

Hmm, methinks somebody is not so "sure" about how to use his own native language Before you start saying I was "so sure" about Scarecrow, please learn what it means. "looks scummy" is very very different. There you go Now you, and everyone else, don't have to say such silly stuff ever again I realize the temptation to say such things, after all, the little Creeper here only caught, what, four Agents? I realize killing four of those scumballs is minor in comparison to killing Dr. Crane. As repentance, I'm going to let Dr. Freeze compile evidence today. Dr. Freeze, you are our new leader Oh, what's this I found on the doorstep? What an interesting read! Man! That Jack Ryder sure can get to the heart of a story. Dr. Crane, Scarecrow, bag-head, however you like to be called; I salute you and your hard work on behalf of the criminal community, and I hope when I see you up there in Heaven where you are most certainly using your fear gas on grandmothers, that we can have a beer together On another note, when are the scum going to try killing us again? It seems that their track record is far worse than ours. Hopefully they are out of day kills though. As for these so-called tasks, I can verify they exist, and they have nothing to do with the clubhouse. Why, I can confirm for you that I successfully completed one yesterday! I swiped some codes or something using picture puzzles They sure don't lock up their nukes like they used to!

Sorry, I completely forgot, voting is open!

Is this day still happening? I could swear this day is taking four days!

Zam Kuric is cracking under the pressure. Night has come, and he has scuttled off to a remote corner to drown his sorrows. As is always the case for those hanging around outside at night, he is making a poor decision. To his left, there is a snap as a twig breaks underfoot. Zam, already stunted from the liquor, doesn't quite believe what he's seeing. "Are you an elf," he asks the creature. The creature only has this to say: "Walla walla bonga!" And with that, Kuric is no longer on this mortal coil. As the creature scuttles back from whence it came, a second figure pops out from the shadows, humming a familiar tune. I'z the one who pounds them down, I pounds them down intos the ground, I smashes their skulls and stomps their balls, Then I smears them around the town. He takes a look at the scene in front of him and crawls back into the shadows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zam Kuric was Town. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the early hours, before the boy king is awake, mother speaks to Lord Wolverton. "Wolverton, the kingdom is collapsing. Will this gambit be successful, or will it all fall to pieces?" Wolverton weighs his words carefully. "M'lady, we must consider that our liege is the representative of God on this earth. I cannot see how failure would be a possibility. All of this is God's will. It could be said that a flowing river can be directed in a more useful direction though. Far be it for me to propose such a thing though." Mother steels her stare on him. "I'll mind you to watch your tongue. Above all, we must respect the royal will." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At morning, the boy king prepares to behead young Master Hale. The Summoner presents his servant before his king. "Please treat him delicately. He has kept me warm on many cold nights," the man said, his hand resting on the boy's shoulder. He turned to say goodbye to his partner of the last few years. "Farewell Master Hale. It will be difficult to replace you, but worry not, I will do my best to. Godspeed to the next life." Hale is in disbelief that his master can let go of him so easily. "How can you do this to me? You promised me you'd take care of me forever!" Tears stream down young Hale's face. He is about to reach out to his master when he is interrupted by a sword to his throat. The boy king looks at the bloody mess on the floor. "Well, that was truly becoming awkward, wasn't it. It is finished. Let us focus on the day ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Master Hale was Town. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day four has begun. Mafia School note: I don't know what happened yesterday. Discussion rapidly died off, and the voting was not discussed much.
