Story
Oof
what a first round! Mr. Zero knew he signed up for a corker when he signed that
very lucrative new F-Zero Sportscaster contract, but little did he know this one would be less predictable than a randomly generated X Cup track layout!
No less than three drivers were forced off track, but a particularly risky move from Race Leader Jody Summer bumped the Mighty Hurricane back on track through a miraculous move of physics-defying action!
Meanwhile, two drivers have ditched their cars for a single two-driver vehicle, and a fly-by-night new racing team pushed a brand new driver onto the track who will start the next race from the pitlane with a significant grid penalty! Amidst the chaos, Sonic the Hedgehog snatches pole position from everyone. Onlookers report he could be heard shouting "you're too slow!" while passing a few backmarkers.
Next up, we the racing action heats up as F-Zero moves to the Fire Field - Cylinder Knot!
Tonight's Events:
-
MASB was
killed by Townie Vote (by way of Race Leader Tiebreaker). MASB was
Mafia Goon #3.
-
BeautifulShy was
killed by Killer hit. BeautifulShy was the
Risky Driver.
-
Pokepal148 was
killed by Mafia hit. Pokepal was the
Townie Detective.
-
Pokepal148 was
revived by the Risky Driver. They enjoy a one-day protection, so they cannot be voted out or killed tonight.
-
Khushrenada was appointed the
new Race Leader by the previous Race Leader.
- Love is in the Aero Dive! Cupid's Arrows struck a new proverbial King Arrow & Mrs. Arrow.
A new couple was formed! Their objective is now to survive until the end together. If one dies, the other will too.
-
A new player joins the race from the back of the grid, see below!
New driver joins the race!
ThePerm is a late arrival! Since they are late in a AA-battery powered Bumper Car, their role is announced to everyone:
ThePerm is a Normal Townie with a one-time Boost item.
The Boost allows a one-time escape from a Mafia or Killer hit. ThePerm will need to use the Boost on their own accord; it does not activate automatically, nor will they be told if the Mafia or Killer have a hit planned on them. The Boost does not protect against being voted out.
