Mafia 79: Nintendo of America Power Struggle - Day 1
« on: March 05, 2019, 11:38:19 PM »
Reggie just announced his impending retirement, and now it's an all-out free-for-all between the different factions of the company to decide his successor.

The day will end at 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, March 7th unless a majority of living players have voted for the same player and that holds for at least half an hour, at which point it will end immediately. Players will have 12 hours following the end of the day to send in night actions.

Greetings everyone, I am Leslie Swan from the Nintendo Treehouse.   I am most known for voicing Princess Peach in Mario 64.   Hope to see you enjoy all the games that the Treehouse has localized for you.   
Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.

Vote Mop it up

I'm not really interested in the president's job. I just know she's trying to get it and if she does then she's going to eat more cats so I have to save myself and my species before it is too late.

Vote Mop It Up's Cat.  Because it's suspect logic that if Mop it Up became NOA President, that they'd eat MORE cats.  You'll be too busy not porting operation rainfall games to switch to eat cats as NOA president.

Sounds like we have another cat meat enthusiast in our midst. You say my logic is suspect but it seems to me if you are not porting games over then you've got more free time and not less. And if you have more free time, what are you going to do with it? Obviously lolmonade is planning on trying new cat recipes as that is the only explanation that makes sense based on his quick defense of Mop it up and her pro cats are food agenda.

Finally Chibi robo looks away and resumes cleaning as if nothing had happened. Telly, shaken, is nowhere to be seen.

Chibi robo finishes cleaning, opens his head-lid, and pops on his frog costume. He picks up his plug and wanders off to find an outlet.

Hey, guys! Kit Ellis reporting in. Busy burning the midnight oil getting another episode of Nintendo Minute ready.

I was sad to hear that Reggie was retiring, but then my boss, Doug Bowser, was named the next president of NOA. Doug's a good guy, so I was happy for him. Still, I gotta say that things have been getting weird around the office lately. Rumors flying around. Getting frantic phone calls from Billy B. Who would delete his Wikipedia page? Don't they have quality control at that site?!

The latest rumor is that a contest has been setup by Furukawa-san to decide who will succeed Doug as the next next president of NOA. Reggie hasn't even left yet! Why do we have to decide that now? It will be decided by a vote. That's one thing. But the rumors also say that anyone who loses the vote will be forced out of NOA and... maybe worse. Something about ninjas out of Kyoto, I don't know. Billy's phone call cut off and I wasn't able to get back to him through the Nintendo Hotline.

I'm really getting concerned. I'll post with more info as I get it. Stay safe, guys.

indeed. However it occurs to me that it is not the fault of Mop it Up's cat that they have been cursed with the inferior new nintendo 3DS XL. This is clearly the fault of Mop it Up herself, who no doubt provided the new 3DS XL to them in an attempt to slow them down with the poor weight distribution the XL model has so they would be easier to catch during dinner time. it is bad enough to own a new 3DS XL for yourself but to curse another living being with such an inferior device is unforgivable.

In celebration on your 20th anniversary today Billy of your fan site  this is the most  appropriate time to release those numbers.  Congrats!!

Vote tally.
decoyman-1
Stratos-2
ShyGuy-1
Mop it up's Cat- 1
Mop it up-2
Morningshark-1

Looks like it is a two way tie between Mop it up and Stratos at 2 with several other possible options to be voted out at 1.

I just got off the phone with BB Action. I had to call the Nintendo Power Line and ask how you get the triforce in Ocarina of Time. They always route the stupid questions to Billy, so it was the only sure way to reach him. Among the crazier things he said was that I was one of the potential candidates as the next next President of NOA. I said "Look, Billy, I know that stuff is legal in Washingtion State, but you have to lay off it a bit." But he was serious!

I told him I was just the Senior Public Relations Manager. I make videos and run contests. Why would I be among the list of candidates? Because I worked for Konami back when they made videogames? Because Hideo Kojima wanted me to voice a role in Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops just because I resembled a background extra from an 80s Sylvester Stallone flick? Yeah, neat stuff, but not exactly a resumé home run.

He even said I may be forced to double cross my best friend Krysta Yang. I know we act like we don't like each other on camera, but that's just an act. We're tight when the cameras are off. This 'contest' is slowly turning NOA into a place I don't recognize.

I must reluctantly vote for Stratos. I assume he's Masahiro Sakurai. I love the man and think he's a gaming god. But the man is such a workaholic that he's in the office with IVs stuck into him. And I don't mean the Pokémon kind. He needs a break. And I feel that due to his decades of service, the so-called Nintendo Ninjas will just settle for taking his job, not his life. Though Mr. Sakurai may feel that's the same thing. :(

The fact that Stratos jumped on the train when it was leaving the station almost guarantees he's a townie, right?

Unvote Stratos for now, unless someone tells me otherwise.

Looks like there is 2 votes still for Mop it up and Stratos and I haven't heard from many people this game so I may just throw out a vote for a random person.

Looks like random.org said Nickmitch.

unVote Nickmitch

One hour until the thread closes and the day ends. Get your votes in while you can.

What's the tie rule?
From the sign up thread.
 If the vote is tied after 48 hours, one of the players in the tie will be eliminated by random draw.

Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.
Alexis, she/her/Miss

Thing is I am not even sure on if Stratos or Mop it up is a good vote or not and the other options in there I am not sure on so I decided to go with a random vote.

Does anyone else have any thoughts if we should vote for Stratos or Mop it up or should we all vote for another person?

Well, I didn't want it to come to this, but if I'm being forced to try and save myself, I have little choice.

Vote Stratos

I need to make sure I survive to run Nintendo, since I know everything more than anyone!

Oh, I see how it is. Since you haven't been able to get enough support for killing your cat then you are going after a known cat lover in Sakurai. Well, I need to protect the pro-cat people.

Therefore, if you want to make today end in a wild and unexpected manner, I will give you that option in voting for one player who has not yet made their presence known in this game and is laying low.

un-Vote Steefosaurus

Eh. Forget it. He hasn't logged onto the forums since before the game began.

No leads and I don't feel as strongly as I could on the Nickmitch vote.

I hope this stratos vote leads to some answers.

Vote Stratos

A lot of people suddenly want to protect a cat eater. I don't like what this means for my potential future.

Or would people like to vote out Steefosaurus since he hasn't shown up and that's what he gets for not checking in on the forums. Get rid of a non-player.
