!!! Bowser strikes again! His purge of NOA must be stopped. King Boo for president of NOA!

[ShyGuy]

What happened to my Wikipedia article???

[ShyGuy]

Wait, Stratos is actually playing? Now I feel kinda guilty voting for him.

[NWR_insanolord]

Just to be clear, Stratos is playing. He didn't post in the thread, but I talked to him last night just before sign-ups closed, and he's in, which is why he's on the players list in the first post.

His article getting deleted makes me want to revisit the idea of the NWR documentary. He started something 20 years ago that we still do on a habitual basis. That belongs in history.

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.

A sin worse than cat eating.

Thanks for clarifying, though I was hoping to sow some confusion a la Jason attempting to sway the vote when he wasn't in the game. Well, I guess Mop it up's Cat is out of the bag!

//Umm, I've been out of the Nintendo loop for awhile, but is this a real guy?? I thought maybe you made up a silly name, Insanolord? But then again, if so, where is Phil Mario or Felicia Peach?//

Chibi robo has climbed high up onto a shelf and is watching the proceedings from afar. His head-lid pops up with a festive sound effect and out pops... a blank sign.

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.

vote Mop it Up

[Mop it up]

Oh yeah, I forgot about roles to play. Hm, I s'pose I'll be that random person on forums who thinks they know everything and the best way to run the company. They should put me in charge, clearly I know what I'm talking about after having observed the company for so long and bought most of its products.

Vote Morningshark

Oh yeah, and I'm also a little bit of a troll. It's fun to watch the n00bs squirm.

[ThePerm]

Stratos should return to Stronghold Kingdoms. I finished research. Well effectively. I still have to research lowering the cost of research, except I'm done with upgrading everything else.  So, that is pointless.

Anyone else getting into Stronghold Kingdoms will get free lumber and stone for like a week.

When will NOA release the vote count numbers?

[BeautifulShy]

When will NOA release the vote count numbers?

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.

[BeautifulShy]

If you wish to inquire about what releases NoA is going to release in the future please contact me directly and I will be sure to get back to you.  Thank you for your patronange.

I'm surprised that nobody is voting for you. BeautifulShy is always the Godfather!

Law of averages for roles in the Mafia game makes it unlikely to be GF in consecutive games played. 
I can assure you I am not the GF this game.

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.

[ShyGuy]

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.

[BeautifulShy]

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

[NWR_insanolord]

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

[pokepal148]

What's the tie rule?

[BeautifulShy]

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.
