Title: Rogue Mafia: Day 3. The Undersea Hideout.
Post by: Khushrenada on April 10, 2007, 06:20:12 PM
Waaah! Waluigi here, continuing my story of villainous ne'er do-welling.

At 8:00 AM, I got up and hurried to the golf course. I had a tee time with my man on the street and on Tuesday's he golfed instead of playing tennis. The course was lovely by the sea. I enjoyed the par 3 with the Koopa Troopa hill. Of course, I made a wager with my secret informant. If I won, he'd tell me what he had learned since tomorrow. If he won, I'd have to dress like Princess Wadaisy and work at his nightclub. I don't think he's all there.

Not that I was worried. I know that there was no one who could surpass my skill at the game of golf. I hit powershot after powershot. Unfortunately, they kept going in the water. Because I was trying to keep the game close. Yeah. That's it. Fortunately, I am also skilled in the art of smack talk. My constant cries of "Today!" seemed to shake him up enough and I beat him with a 15 over par. With my victory secure, he was forced to uphold his part of the bargin.

"Alright," he said, "Listen up. I have about as many valuable pieces of information as Diet Coke has calories. Which is to say, I don't have any information."

"What?" I cried, "That's it. That's all you have to offer me?"

"Yep," he replied. "You..you lousy...I had to bet to work in your nightclub....as a princess! All you had to offer was this? What kind of trade-off is this?" I demanded.

"Not my fault I'm better at making deals than you are. It was a smart business decision on my part," he replied.

"You're cheating," I said and slowly walked towards.

"What...what are you doing?" he cried.

"Are you sweating?" I taunted.

As the paramedics carted his body away, I drove back into the city to see if I could find some more info on my own. I decided to look into this rumor about the abondoned warehouse district. As it happened, I arrived just after another murder had been commited.

Appearently a villain called Ganondorf, who was using the alias Stevey, had attracted a lot of attention to himself. People didn't like the way he kept insulting the gods and desiring the wind. The fact that he had a piece of some golden triforce caused a lot of people to think that he had a part of the treasure. So, they confronted him. And there was a massive swordfight. Ganondorf was able to hold them off for quite a while. But then, someone hit a crane which caused a bunch of crates that it was holding up to come crashing down on Ganondorf. Even in this beat-up condition, he was not yet defeated and cast some black magic towards his attackers. Unfortunately, the crates contained butterfly nets. The attackers were able to repel the black magic towards Ganondorf. With him stunned by his own black magic, someone finally found a sword and put it in his head. Hearing the wail of the siren, they fled the scene. Seeing these attackers run by me, I ran towards where they came from and searched the scene as fast I could for clues. I wasn't able to do as thorough a search as I would have like but I found enough information.

I wondered what I should do next. Who would be targetted now? I found out in a flash. The sirens were not coming becuase of Ganondorf's murder. They were coming because the owner of the warehouse district, Tom Nook, also known as Garnee in some circles, had been killed. Apparently, there had been a scuffle between Tom and some people he was renting too. They had a disagreement about money owed. Tom Nook took a whack at one of the people's legs and the others just pulled out some pistols and filled him with lead and then took off. Although, since Tom Nook was dead, they decided to help themselves to the post office collection he had. With the police swarming the warehouses, I decided to look up Tom Nook's residence and search his house.

He lived in an apartment downtown. Going into a back alley, I climbed the fire escape up to Nook's apartment. Looking at my reflection in the glass shattered it and allowed me to enter. I searched his apartment for clues and came upon some interesting tidbits. Well, going through a book of loans and debts he had, I heard sirens from the police arriving at the apartment. I quickly hightailed it to the window in time to see another figure racing down the fire escape. Someone was trying to get information also. I hurried after and gave chase. We ran through back alley after back alley. Somehow, he managed to give me the slip.

As I stood around trying to figure out where I had lost him, I heard some shouting and ran in that direction. I found Bowser Jr. or as he is referred to on the street, MaryJane, lying dead on the ground in a dark alley. I looked around the alley for who might have done it but saw no one. Lying beside Bowser Jr. was some spiked koopa shells. His back shell had been blasted open and he had been stabbed by a magic paintbrush, impaling him to the ground. Some tires screeched in the distance and I saw the figure of the person I had been chasing earlier running down the road. Was he connected with this. My mind raced with possibilities as I tried to piece together what has been happening these past two days.

I decided I'd better see my informant one more time. Even if he has no information, maybe he could help me piece together what had been happening. The new rumour was that the gang of thieves had an underwater base that they had fled to. I decided I'd check for myself tomorrow after I was finished talking with my "friend".

And so the next day, things went something like this:

Since I have a feeling this issue is going to grow even larger today, let me just say this concerning the mad scientist. He has until noon Eastern time to bring someone back from the dead thread. After that deadline, he has to wait until the next day to bring someone back.

Voting ends at Midnight Eastern time of course.

Also, I may not be around much in the evening, so try and contact me earlier in the day if you have any questions. NHL playoffs begin tomorrow and my two favorite teams are playing, so I don't want to miss that.
Let's go Pittsburgh Penguins.
Let's go Mighy Ducks of Anahiem. (I know they call 'em Anahiem Ducks now but they'll always be mighty to me. Never forget Wildwing.)

Other than that, I don't think I need to post anything else.

Yeah, I have no art of this and don't have the talent to create it. I do have the ability to write about it. I was just trying to think of the most off-the-wall, out there, crazy, bizarre deal that I could think of. Maybe I'll give an award to somebody who can create a picture of that.

Definitely needs the big pink nose and an evil mustache.  Definitely.

Anyways, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the mafia would kill Garnee.  Anyone have ideas on this one?  Maybe it was the Slasher?

and how do you know that the mafia didn't kill MaryJane instead?

Post by: that Baby guy on April 10, 2007, 07:14:56 PM
I was implying that's what I thought the mafia did, and that the Slasher was the one who killed MaryJane.  That's why I said, "Maybe it was the Slasher?"

So someone explain to me how the hell we are supposed to find out the roles of the dead people?  So far this seems less like a game of mafia and more like a game of dice.

Post by: oohhboy on April 11, 2007, 03:26:40 AM
I vote mantidor. That attemped last minute rally was far too suspect. Stevey is dead so that also leaves Athrun Zala and mantidor. All their timestamps are too close not to mean something. I voted for mantidor first seeing that his timestamp is far closer to stevey than Athrun.

C'mon pale, you know how. It's when the Mad Scientist uses his power/ is killed. I don't know why you always pretend you don't know what's going on, I'm pretty sure you're one of the most devious of players.

Anyway I guess oohboy's theory checks out.

VOTE MANTIDOR, until someone can convince me otherwise.

Post by: Pale on April 11, 2007, 05:10:48 AM
God i seriously don't know how.  I skimmed the rules and came up empty.  Mad Scientist?  What is his power?  To say "Tell teh world who people are"... it still doesn't make any sense.
Title: RE: Rogue Mafia: Day 3. The Undersea Hideout.

Dammit. could the scientist or whoever PLEASE make a move so we can see who is dying? The lack of information is getting to me.

Well, it's too late for today, but can they do it tomorrow? This is like having several day ones in a row or something.

Mad Scientist,

Your inventions have been most useful in our fight against those tresspassing on our motherland, we know need you to come foward and use your new invention and bring some fallen comrades back from the dead. We can use their intel as well as the intel we will start to recieve once your invention is burned out for the month.

Anyone have a list of people who still haven't voted?
Title: RE: Rogue Mafia: Day 3. The Undersea Hideout.
Post by: Pale on April 11, 2007, 07:12:54 AM
I went back and read the roles again and I still don't get it.  What does bringing someone back from the dead have to do with revealing roles?  Sorry if I'm really that much of a moron.
Title: RE: Rogue Mafia: Day 3. The Undersea Hideout.
Post by: that Baby guy on April 11, 2007, 07:17:00 AM
In the Day 2 thread he added to the role.  I guess he never changed the original, though.

Everyone is busy voting or hunting for treasure or offing people. But I have far more important things to worry about. Thanks to this get-rich-quick-reasonably-quick plan I purchased off WaBay for 25 gold coins, I will soon be wealthy beyond all reckoning. And the plans are so easy, too.

Step 1: Gather together a dead metroid, a gaggle of rogues, and a giant hamster wheel. Done. (It took me all of yesterday, but I finally found a local giant hamster wheel emporium. You know you're in a small town when they only have one of those.)

Step 2: Put the dead metroid in the giant hamster wheel. Done.

Bwahaha, things are going so well, and there's only 13 steps left. Nothing will distract me from my quest.

....hey, across the street, is that my sweet, WaDaisy?



Oh my. She's gotten even lovelier since the last time I saw her.

Well, I had a good laugh at the picture. Also, Pale, if you look in the players list thread, you'll see that I talk about why I added this power to the mad scientist. I have a feeling that by tomorrow, this won't be an issue. Oooooo. Spooky.
Title: RE: Rogue Mafia: Day 3. The Undersea Hideout.
Post by: Pale on April 11, 2007, 08:17:18 AM
Jeez I finally found the post.  I'm sorry I was such a moron for not understanding something that was explained in the second post of the second day of the game instead of in the rules thread.  I must totally be sandbagging.

/sigh

So here is a little bit of information about Bowser's "falling out" with us kids.  

After Super Mario rescued Princess Peach for (I dunno) about the third time...Larry though he could save face by recapturing the young lady.  He "borrowed" the Clown Copter and was planning an all out attack on Mario and crew during the long trip back to the Mushroom Kingdom.  Unfortunately, he didn't get past the garage before wrecking it.  

Larry had us all swear to secrecy and non of us broke.  Soon after Bowser was kicking us out, and seizing our castles.

Those years were tough on all of us.  Wendy took it the hardest and resorted to selling her body.  It was all quite tragic.

Remember what happens with ties everyone:

Breaking voting ties.

If there is a tie at the end of the day's vote, I will leave the thread open a bit past the deadline for a length of time afterwards. I will list then how much extra time will be given as circumstances may vary for me. No more than half an hour. During this extra time, any player can change their vote if they wish. As well, any player who hadn't voted that day may then cast a vote. The first vote that breaks the tie ends the voting. The person with the most votes will then be killed.

If however, the remaining time has expired and the vote is still tied, the players who are tied are all killed. However, those players get to choose one person who voted for them to die with them. Thus, you may want to avoid ties.

This thread is closed. Don't lock it yet however. I still have some things to update in it. ShyGuy, the mysterious blogger is dead.

Let's get those night actions in people.

And in case anyone is curious, the mad scientist has used his ability for tomorrow so all roles will be revealed now and manner of death. Stay tuned.
