My Little Pony WW 2: The Shadow Reign

[TBFProgrammer]

GnomeGninjas , since it looks like any other voting analysis is shot for the day.

Any more analysis. GnomeGninjas

[planswalker]

Don't want to lose our one big advantage over the wolves: the seer. If discord getting night-killed hurts that, then definitely GnomeGninjas

[52.5 Lemons]

GnomeGninjas it is then.

[Penguinator]

GnomeGninjas.

[Gray Mage]

GnomeGninjas?

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

The Rocky Horror LLama apologizes for his absence, but his player put finding a new job as a top priority.

As for why I kept bringing up Alan Wake, was because I thought it was a good game and that the village didn't get enough credit, especially Reinholdt. That is all.

[Elemental]

GnomeGninjas it is then.

The Count was in reasonably high spirits. Oranges were hard to come by due to recent events and now he could have oranges on the terrace if he wanted.
Things are looking up Silver Scream! Now we need merely to get rid of the Gninja problem and things will be perfect.
Ninja problem?
No, Gninja problem. Don't get the two confused.

[Beacon of Chaos]

When you strike through a point, please make a separate post making a new point. Like so:

GnomeGninjas cause the Istari wagon is too one sided and it is very easy to lie about being Discord.

Ah, I do apologise.

Back to GnomeGninjas.

[Tom the Mime]

Well if Grue Bait says that the Chaos power GnomeGninjas claims is bad for Twilight Sparkle, that's good enough for me at this stage.

[TigerFang]

I never liked Discord anyway. GnomeGninjas it is.

[inky13112]

GnomeGninjas then. Hoping to find time to analyze this game better soon though.

[planswalker]

Thing is, it's hard to analyze voting patterns when clear and present bandwagons are forming every day. Heck, all 5 wolves have probably gone ahead and voted for Gnome already. Good way to keep themselves off the "missing days" radar and make it harder to find a pattern to their votes.

@V I like the way you think. So, which of the dozen people who jumped on Gnome's bandwagon do you find most suspicious?

[Castaras]

So you should look at who jumps on the bandwagon quickly. And who jumps on later. Wolves always jump on the bandwagon as soon as they can so that they throw suspicion off of themselves. And Wolves always make sure their vote doesn't matter so that they don't push the bandwagon on one of themselves.

*points at planswalker* I don't like seer bandwagons, makes the game boring. So I'ma point randomly at people rather than join the people wanting to stab Discord.

[Eternis]

@Reinholdt,
Wasn't it you in that last MLP game, that I kept asking for a "roll in the hay" with?
Man, that was fun.

Day 5

Gninja Ninja pranced out of her home, donning her sparkly black Gninja suit. Tiaraville had already seen that wannabe Mare-Do-Well, who turned out to be four different ponies just teaching their "friend" a lesson. Pfft. Whatever. With friends like them, who needs enemies.

She rolled her eyes and kept trotting around Tiaraville, looking for someone to save. Her mind then raced ahead to the recent fad of super-heroes, actually villains.

There was the strange and enigmatic Batmare, who showed up, declared herself "Batmare", then disappeared without doing anything significant. At least the Mare-Do-Wells did something.

Then there was Darkwing Pony. The only one who was honest with what side of the law he was on. Luckily, he'd vanished in a plume of smoke.

And most recently, the Cowpony Silver Star. Who evidently got lost after one night in Tiaraville. Another eyeroll. And of course, "Batmare" was on the case. Yeah, right. It was probably Batmare who made the cowpony disappear.

Well, enough was enough. This town needed a real hero. Someone who would save Ponyville, I mean Tiaraville, from these evil villains. Gninja Ninja stopped and posed, looking up to the sky dramatically. Fear not, Po- Tiaraville. Gninja Ninja will put a stop to this foul foulness. she declared.

poink a rain drop splattered her between the eyes. She blinked it away, only to be hit again by another, and another. She looked hard up into the night sky, and noticed a dark shadow hopping from raincloud to raincloud.

Clearly a villain trying to stop me by raining on my parade. she muttered to herself. Well, we'll see who stops who.

Gninja Ninja ran after the cloud jumping pegasus, using her ninja speed and agility to leap onto a tall buildiong ahead of the pony, allowing her to confront him.

Stop your evil ways, villain! She demanded as he drew closer.

Not expecting anyone to call out to him, especially not on equal... uh.. air? Rainy Charge almost missed the next cloud. Woah!! Upon seeing the darkly covered mare before him, he smiled and blushed. Hi. he squeeked. Then stood up straighter, just as Iron Will had taught. I mean... Hello.

Gninja Ninja hadn't anticipated this form of attack. This pegasus Rain-maker was.... handsome, charming. She found herself falling under his spell, and swooned as thoughts of he and she together filled her mind. And she began to faint away. Oops.

It was a short fall, and Rainy Charge didn't have time to think about it. He leapt off his cloud, diving to rescue the fair maiden in the ninja costume. Just before she hit the ground, he swept under her, breaking her fall, and crashing himself into the hard ground. Luckily, he'd been raining over Tiaraville for the pasrt few nights, so it wasn't nearly as hard as it could have been.

Unfortunately, Gninja Ninja landed atop his left wing, spraining it, and sending the hero to the hospital.

Rainy Charge (Gray Mage) protected Gninja Ninja (GnomeGninja) from harm, sacrificing himself. He was Shining Armor.

I do not understand anything that has happened in this game.

[Forum Explorer]

Well Gnomegninja is either Princess Cadence or Queen Chrysalis. I'm inclined to think Queen Chrysalis as why wouldn't GnomeGninja claim Princess Cadence instead of Discord?

However the really weird part is Grue's scry. He didn't point out that GnomeGninja was Queen Chrysalis, only saying she was 'harmful' if Night Killed. I don't quite understand why he would do that.

[Beacon of Chaos]

Grue Bait didn't scry Gninja, she just PMed him a fake Discord power with the intent of trying to trick him into leaving her alone, since she claimed it would hurt Team Shadow more than the town. This clearly backfired.

Speaking of which, Grue Bait, care to tell us what that power was? I'm curious to find out what could have happened if Gninja really was Discord.

Wait I think I'm misunderstanding something.

who sent who a PM?

[TBFProgrammer]

who sent who a PM?

GnomeGninjas sent Grue Bait a PM claiming that certain things would happen if Gnome were night-killed. For whatever reason, Grue came to to the decision that killing Gnome was better than letting him live. I can think of several possible reasons, but you'll have to excuse me if I don't feel like they should be shared.

Probably because I butchered my sentence something awful, but yeah, TBF got it right.

Great thanks! So this worked out in the best possible way.

[Grue Bait]

Huh. Well that completely backfired for Gnome. I'll give the whole list of what supposedly happens if Discord gets killed tomorrow. 'Course since Gnome isn't actually Discord, I don't know how much is true.

[Elemental]

I'd rather doubt that Gnome was trying to hide that he was Chrysalis, after all, that would be a rather risky manoeuvre easily proven false by an appropriate scry.
I think it's more likely that Gnome is Cadance (Cadence?) and it was some kind of attempt to avoid a night kill. But we'll find out the case soon enough.

[Penguinator]

Yes and no. Chrysalis scries as Pinkie Pie. So no, it wouldn't be an easy scry. At this point, however, the real Pinkie Pie is dead, so Chrysalis would be worried about being scried as Pinkie Pie.

No. Just, no. At least, I hope no. If I were a town Lover-type role, I wouldn't go, "hey, let's just falseclaim, so they kill my lover and me, and we lose two town PRs instead of maybe one. Sounds super smart, mkay?"

You're right about that. Though I recall hearing earlier when the Discord claim first came up that GnomeGninjas said that the chaos would be worse for the wolves. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, I admit faulty logic on my part.

[Alarra]

I'm out of town for the next 4 days. Don't autolynch please. K thanks.

Night 5

Thinking Cap leaned forward on his counter, head on hooves. Another day had gone by with no one even looking into his shop. With an Eternal Night, no one need to shade their eyes from the sun. And with it so dark, who would notice a fine lady in a glamorous new hat, the latest trend or an old classic? No one. And no one was buying.

With a weary sigh, Thinking Cap walked to the entrance and flipped the sign over to closed, once again. What had gone wrong? It'd seemed that after Nightmare Moon had gone back to being Luna, that everything was right in the world.

And after this past Nightmare Night, who would have believed Luna would regress back to her villainous self. But she did, and even more surprising, she did what no one, including herself, had seemed to do before. She defeated Princess Celestia.

Thinking Cap shook his head sadly as he left the store, and with pain in his heart, he looked up at the only light source in all of Equestria, the Moon. And then he stopped. Blinked a couple of times, and took a looong look again, this time squinting. Had he seen what he thought he had seen? Maybe... maybe his mind was playing tricks on him, because he could have sworn he saw....

And there she was again. Princess Celestia, trapped in the moon, looking down with sorrow at her precious Queendom. I've found her! I've found her! he called out excitedly. She's in the moon. Look! Look! he pointed up at the ever present moon.

Ponies from all over Tiaraville came out of their homes, hoping to see this miraculous sight... and saw nothing. All of them, including Thinking Cap, continued to watch, but she didn't appear. Soon they began to look at Thinking Cap, at first angry at the cruel joke. But... but... She was there. I swear I saw her. He sputtered.

Then seeing how confident he was in his sighting, the anger turned to sorrow. Poor Thinking Cap, they whispered he finally flipped his lid.

Soon Nurse Coldheart and Nurse Redheart escorted the poor stallion to the hospital. You poor dear. We'll take good care of you.

Gnome Gninjas. There's no way that cadence would claim discord instead of her own role.

________________

The brown earth pony in the snazzy yellow pants continued to sell his cakes and pies in the vending stall just outside of his home. For an eternally gloomy town, today was very pretty. The streets were less crowded than on the day he came into town and it was not longer necessary to push and shove to get people out of the way. That was nice. He didn't like having to jostle others.

The yellow pants, on the other hand, was starting to get paranoid. It knew that people were disappearing from this town. He could see no rhyme or reason behind who was taken at night. Probably best to have his host keep his head down. Diamond Tiara didn't seem to put up with people who rocked the boat.
