Day 9

Staaaaarscreeeeam!! Megatron bellowed as the white and red F-15 Eagle flew past.

Starscream circled around once, then landed in front of Megatron. What do you want, o mighty leader? he asked, with just the hint of sarcasm.

Megatron grabbed his errant second in command by the throat and swiftly threw him down, aiming his cannon at his face. Tell me why I shouldn't blow you to pieces right now.

Starscream threw his hands in front of his face, as if that's stop the blast. What did I do!?

Megatron pointed back to the wreck of the recently destroyed vehicle. I said take care of him! Not blow a crater in the road!

Because of your incompetence, we are going to be delayed once again while we drive around it! Your blundering.....

Me-Megatron? Starscream interupted, pointing past him.

Megatron squinted his eyes at Starscream, then turned around, confident that even Starscream would not dare..... Where once had been his convoy of cars and trucks, now stood Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots. There guns trained on Megatron and the Decepticons.

*SSHHHBOOOOOMM!! Take Cover!!! Megatron called. The blast of his cannon forcing the Autobots to do the same, or be struck by the blast.

Mayhem ensued as both armies ran for cover. The humans in their vehicles scrambling to get out of the way.

Buzzkill and Laserbeak were sent out by Soundwave to recon the enemy forces.

As Laserbeak recorded where the Autobots were taking cover, Buzzsaw laid down cover fire to keep them pinned down. All was going well until a shot hit Buzzsaw, coating him in a glass-like layer of ice. Laserbeak fired back at Cliffjumper, who'd foolishly stood up to take the shot.

But suddenly Laserbeak found himself under a barrage of laser fire. Weaving through the deadly light show, Laserbeak turned to head back and report his findings.

Just as he was almost free of the enemy air space, a final shot clipped Laserbeak's wing, sending him spiraling down toward the highway. Struggling against gravity, Laserbeak fired his thrusters one last time, skipped against the concrete and into the safety of the Decepticons side.

Though badly damaged, Laserbeak was still able to report his findings before being taken into Soundwave's protective care.

Laserbeak (Spy) was shot down, and in bad need of repair. He was played by The Grimmace.

Night 9

Overhead, Slingshot saw the reawakening of the Autobots. Overly excited to join the fray, he neglected to call the other Aerialbots with the good news, and immediately dove in firing at the opposition from behind. Dirge exploded immediately.

But as he glided back up toward the sky, three other Seekers followed him. Slingshot immediately recognized his error, and quickly sent a short wave emergency call to his remaining fellows. But it was too late.

As good as Slingshot was, he was no match for all three at once. He dove through trees, hoping they would follow. And another Dirge clone bit the dust doing so. But the other two were not so easily duped.

They flew overhead, firing down at him and dropping a few cluster bombs. The bombs mostly just destroyed the landscape around him, but he was running out of room.

Hitting his thrusters, he shot up into the clouds. Thrust and Skywarp following behind. Higher and higher they went, until the mighty engines of Thrust gave out, and he was forced to return to a lower climate.

Now it was just him and Skywarp. Slingshot smiled to himself. He could easily handle this old timer. He cut his engines, resulting in a quick stall, and then deadfall.

Backwards Slingshot fell, zooming past Skywarp, and then he engaged his engines once again, and immediately started firing at.... nothing. The lasers fired through Skywarp, but there was no explosion, no smoke. Nothing at all to indicate damage.

Then Slingshot felt what'd gone wrong as he began to be pelted with Skywarp's own lasers. Skywarp stayed on Slingshot's tail, continuing to spray the cocky fighter's fuselage full of holes until *BOOOOM!!!* Slingshot exploded.

The last remaining Aerialbots began firing at Skywarp, chasing him away. But it was too late. They were down to just two: Air Raid and Fireflight.

Slingshot (Superion) was blown to pieces by Skywarp. He was played by GnomeGninjas.

Day 10 Begins
It will last about 48 hours.

[Trixie]

52.5 Lemons...

[RuneboundShade]

52.5 Lemons.

[banjo1985]

Lemons then, as we haven't been steered wrong yet.

[TBFProgrammer]

52.5 Lemons and then I'd like to know how Grue Bait survived that one day.

[banjo1985]

I'd like to know how Grue Bait survived that one day.

Well, there's a few possibilities:

- Grue Bait is Megatron and survived his first lynch as per the role. Reasonably likely.
- The day vote ended in a tie, so no-one was lynched. I don't remember what the vote was like that day, so I don't know whether this is even a possibility without going back to check.
- The mighty Lord Fullbladder was auto'd the same day. I guess its possible that the auto took the place of the proposed lynchee, but looking at the Player list, there was an auto on Day 4 and the vote leader wasn't saved then. I'd say this is very unlikely.
- Some shennanigans invloving the Neutral Disrupter, Starscream, or some kind of secret role, playing silly buggers with the lynch or vote tallies. Possible I guess, but not exactly likely.
- Grue got protected by a Day Baner. With Penguinator, the only known day baner role in the game, dead, this is unlikely. However, with disguised players showing up as their disguised role on death, it is technically possible the day baner is still around, and that Penguinator was disguised on death. However this is incredibly unlikely, and with Lord Fullbladder's inactivity leading to autolynch, it gets even less likely as a possibility.

So yeah, a few possible connotations, but there is clearly a more likely outcome. At the very least Grue has some explaining to do while we take out Lemons.

EDIT - Looking again, Penguinator died as the night baner. There is a day baner role, and they haven't turned up dead yet. This makes the day-baned option slightly more likely maybe, but still not as likely as Grue being Megatron.

[Deathslayer7]

52.5 lemons. baaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Internet Flea]

Have I not voted?
52.5 Lemons.

[GnomeGninjas]

Even though I'm dead can I continue to be the seers proxy or is there some rule against that?

[Helgraf]

Even though I'm dead can I continue to be the seers proxy or is there some rule against that?

You are dead - you cannot influence the game in any way, and being the Seer's Proxy absolutely qualifies as influencing the game.

[Trixie]

Even though I'm dead can I continue to be the seers proxy or is there some rule against that?

I checked several games, and I can assure you Lex never wrote any rules forbidding dead people to be seer's proxy, specifically

[Helgraf]

I checked several games, and I can assure you Lex never wrote any rules forbidding dead people to be seer's proxy, specifically

[HEAVY SARCASM]Yeah, because having an unkillable seer proxy doesn't break the game in favor of the villagers. There's no evidence of that in this thread at all.[/HEAVY SARCASM]

[Trixie]

Son, your emoticon detector, she appears to be broke

And I certainly don't mind the villagers having an advantage in this game :P

[Gray Mage]

52.5 Lemons today.

[Helgraf]

Son, your emoticon detector, she appears to be broke

And I certainly don't mind the villagers having an advantage in this game :P

I was one of the villagers in this game, and frankly, no. I prefer a game that's at least nominally fair to both sides.

[Lex-Kat]

The dead can't be the Seer's proxy. And yes, Trixie was being sarcastic.

[Trixie]

Sarcastic...?

You wound me :P

[Lex-Kat]

I'll do more than that.....

[Grue Bait]

I'd like to know how Grue Bait survived that one day.

I'm not sure what day you're talking about. From what I've seen, I don't think that I've ever been in that much trouble on any day. However, to defend myself against Banjo's post-well, I can't actually think of what happened. I'm not Megatron, and I'm thinking that this is a wolf's attempt to get a random villager killed instead of Lemons, another obvious wolf.

EDIT: Forgot about this. Lemons

[52.5 Lemons]

Wait. Why am I being targeted, either this is some not thought out bandwagon, or there is a fool afoot. At any rate, I should probably go back and figure out the cause of this madness.

[The Bushranger]

Madness?

THIS!
IS!
CONVOY!

*kicks 52.5 Lemons into a pit*

[GnomeGninjas]

The dead can't be the Seer's proxy. And yes, Trixie was being sarcastic.

That makes sense.

[Lex-Kat]

Day 10

Drill Sergeant William Lemons paced back and forth in front of his men. He glared at them as they stood at attention. Daring them, waiting for any one of them to give in, to crack a smile.

Behind him was a brand new, two-thousand twelve, lime green Smart Car. He didn't particularly like the car. He never in his life would have dreamed of owning such a car. Yet the car was indeed his.

But now that it was his, he cherished it. He cherished it, because his lovely wife had given to him. She'd given to him as a birthday present just the day before. And someone had desecrated that gift.

He stopped in front of Private Deana Slayer, his eye twitching. Did you do this to my car, Priiivate! he hollered in her face.

Sir! No, sir! she quickly answered back, keeping her eyes straight ahead.

He heard someone sneeze to his left, and quickly saw the movement of who recovered. Taking two large steps, he moved to be in front of Private Rusty Shade. What do you think you are doing, son!! Did I give you permission to sneeze!? he bared down on the smaller man.

N-n-no s-s-sir. Private Shade stuttered, shrinking away.

This infuriated Sergeant Lemons further. Drop and give me fifty!! Which Private Shade began immediately. For now, it was better than standing there.

Drill Sergeant Lemons resumed his pacing. But his pacing was cut short by the sound of a small explosion from overhead.

*CRACKABOOOOM!!!*

Everyone, including the Sergeant, ducked for cover. They looked up to see a dark blue jet flying away in the distance. As it got further away, they began to hear another sound. It was a sharp, crackling sound. Like cracking ice, but sharper.

Sergeant Lemons face went pale, and he looked back to his new Smart Car. The Smart Car filled to the top with lemons. Of the two windows he could see, both were cracking. The cracks slowly spiderwebbing across the whole of them.

And then *CRASH* followed by the sound of lemons falling out of the broken windows.

Sergeant Lemons smacked his forehead, and passed out. The day couldn't possibly get worse.

52.5 Lemons busted out of the windows. One was cut in half. He was Thundercracker (Seeker).

EDIT - Looking again, Penguinator died as the night baner. There is a day baner role, and they haven't turned up dead yet. This makes the day-baned option slightly more likely maybe, but still not as likely as Grue being Megatron.

I talked with GnomeGninjas about this possibility before he died. While I don't have the particulars, he told me to go ahead with a push against Grue. This tells me that either the day baner is working alone, or Grue was not day-baned.

I'm not sure what day you're talking about. From what I've seen, I don't think that I've ever been in that much trouble on any day.
