Vengence of The Penguin (Playing)

[LadyMirandaKaos]

What? Mr. Nigma teleported? Grr!!!

*swipes penguin guide into a head-lock and shakes viciously*

Why didn't you warn me?!

*flings the guide away from her sight*

Ugh! We must sacrifice this... Mr. E. Nigma and the foul Fleeing Coward. They MUST not get away this time!

*Starts bashing and punching the nearest snow bank trying to find more surfboards to appease The Penguin*

[MrEdwardNigma]

"Calm down, Lady, I'm a wizard, what did you expect?"
The wizard shrugs and goes off to find some surfboards.

Raiser_B1ade and Fleeing Coward should probably face the penguin.

Day 8 Closed.


Dr Bath slept (no entry)
Castaras slept (no entry)
Fleeing Coward searched without success
Artemis97 slept (no entry)
Atreyu the Masked LLama searched without success
MrEdwardNigma searched, finding 4 surfboards
Raiser_B1ade attempted to steal
LadyMirandaKaos searched, finding 1 surfboard
Talen searched, finding 1 surfboard

Indeed, Raiser_B1ade's attempt to steal was greatly hampered by the luminescent paint splashed all over him.


FleeingCoward had 5 votes, MrEdwardNigma had 2 votes, and Raiser_B1ade had two votes.

The trio made their way forth along the now-beaten path to the nesting place of the Penguin. They found him laboring over a large cauldron of black liquid that exuded foul but mind clearing fumes. "You guys are in for a surprise," chuckled the Penguin, "but for now let's sort you three out."

The Penguin Demands

From Raiser_B1ade, 1 surfboard
From MrEdwardNigma, 3 surfboards
From FleeingCoward, 1 surfboard

The Wrap Up:

Slaanesh Catching waves at the reef break in the sky.
Dr Bath 3 Fatigue, 6 Surfboard
Castaras 5 Fatigue, 0 Surfboard

MrEdwardNigma 5 Fatigue, 5 Surfboards
Raiser_B1ade 5 Fatigue, 5 Surfboards
LadyMirandaKaos 5 Fatigue, 5 Surfboards
Talen 5 Fatigue, 4 Surfboards



Wide-Awake Round!

The fumes from the Penguin's cauldron of krill-coffe are preventing anyone from sleeping. Non-voters will not sleep, but stay as they are.

Day 9 Open!

[Talen]

Boards abound,
Searching away,
Castaras and coward,
Into the fray.

[Fleeing Coward]

I just went to the penguins, it's time for someone new to go there, someone who hasn't been there for a couple of nights.
Someone like Talen and Dr Bath

The chicken tries to search for the surfboards again.

[Dr. Bath]

Searchin' for Surfboards, me hearties!

Yarr! Tha scurvy dog Mr Edward Nigma and tha bilge rate Talen should face tha Penguin!

Yarr!

*Dr. Bath stumbles about drunkenly, clearly out of mind*

[MrEdwardNigma]

I agree, Coward. Dr. Bath and Talen should face the Penguin!

The wizard searches for surfboards.

[Castaras]

Searching, and saying that MrEdwardNigma and Talen should face da penguin.

[Raiser Blade]

Surch! (I wanna nap) and Mr. Edward Nigma and talen should face da penguin.

Also wtf I think I have been sent to face the penguin more than anyone else give me a break sheesh!

[LadyMirandaKaos]

The Doctor of cleanliness liquid
And Artemis the mystic and languid,
Shall have the privilege and pleasure
To enjoy The Penguin's hospitality at leisure.
Thus we keep on searching and scrying
To find surfboards, to keep from expiring.

[BURNhollywoodBURN]

Sleep and Mr. Edward Nigma and talen should face da penguin.

Also wtf I think I have been sent to face the penguin more than anyone else give me a break sheesh!

Pssssst... Raiser_B1ade! No sleeping!

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*The llama decides to try his rogue levels and steal some.*

I think we need to finish off Castaras and Fleeing Coward. Its a horrible thing to say, but I'm feeling evil today.

[Bobnik]

Day 9 Closed.


Dr Bath searched, finding 3 surfboards
Castaras searched, finding 2 surfboards
Fleeing Coward searched, finding 2 surfboards
Artemis97 did nothing (no entry)
Atreyu the Masked LLama attempted to steal
MrEdwardNigma searched, finding 1 surfboard
Raiser_B1ade searched without success
LadyMirandaKaos searched, finding 2 surfboards
Talen searched without success


Talen had 5 votes, MrEdwardNigma had 3 votes, and Dr.Bath had 3 votes.

A deep and endless fog wafted across the path, yet somehow each of the doomed could still see each other. As they neared the nest, MrEdwardNigma's eyes popped open in surprise as he watched Talen pull forth the same kind of scroll that the wizard had used a few days earlier. With a puff of smoke, Talen disappeared, leaving a somewhat disoriented Castaras in his wake.

Castaras faces the Penguin instead of Talen.

The Penguin Demands

From Castaras, 2 surfboards
From MrEdwardNigma, 2 surfboards
From Dr.Bath, 3 surfboard

Normal Round!


Day 10 Open!

[LadyMirandaKaos]

The Lady of Kaos has decided, with the aid of her penguin confidante, to offer surfboards as a bribe... *ahem* ...incentive to ensure her safety from The Penguin.

There is a maximum of four surfboards on offer.

Depending on strategic barganing and the number/quality of offers given; a recipient of her Lady's Favour may recieve all four boards.

"Haggling" may either be public or private according to the interest of the party/s involved.

Group offers are accepted... at the right price ...and those involved are to sort out between themselves whom gets what.

[Castaras]

Searching for Surf boards, MrEdwardNigma and Atreyu.

The one time I find surf boards, and I have to face the penguin. *sigh*

[Raiser Blade]

Sleep
Artemis and Dr. Bath

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*the llama knows a good alliance when he sees one and offers to let the Lady Miranda Kaos to pick who he votes for if she gives him a surfboard. *

While she thinks it over, he curls up for a nap.

[Bobnik]

Edit: See my next post!!

To LadyMirandaKaos, and everyone else,

While I highly endorse such Machiavellian shenannigans, I must remind everyone to have your actions finalised by 9:30pm AEDT (GMT+11) tonight. (that's three hours from now.) Payments between players must be confirmed to me by the payer via PM.

This has been a penguin service announcement by your benevolent-ish overlord game master.

Edit: See my next post!!

[LadyMirandaKaos]

I accept both Atreyu's and Raiser B1ade's offers.

@ the llama please vote for Artemis and Dr. Bath

The Lady herself will also vote for Artemis and Dr. Bath whilst searching for more bribes...*cough*...Surfboards.

[Fleeing Coward]

Votes for atreyu and Mr E. Nigma
Sleeps

[Bobnik]

After careful consideration, I have decided to change the rules. This is the first time I have run such a game, and the first time I have run a PbP game to boot, so I have not had much to guide me. I hope I do not offend with this, but I feel it needs to be done.

1st change: Each game round will now have a 48hr time limit.
Reason:
As far as I can tell I have posters from radically different time zones. I would honestly like to encourage deals and bribes, and 24hrs is too short when people are at opposite ends of the earth, even with the miracle of teh internets.

2nd change: Until a player has posted an action and two definite votes, their entry that turn is not valid.
Reason:
This is to clarify what happens with offers and if/then stuations. Until you've posted an action and two people's names you haven't formally entered that turn.

3rd change: The latest post and/or edit will be used.
Reason:
This allows for deals and bribes. It isn't so much a new rule as a clarification.

As per this change, Round 10 will finish in approx 24hrs

If any one has any comments or suggestions or criticism or outright flamage I will listen attentively. I apologise again for any inconvenience, and thanks for putting up with my inexperience.

[Dr. Bath]

*sniff*

Mi'lady, thou art verrily the harshest mistress. What have I done to induce your wrath? Hast my visage displeased you? Is my manner ill fitting? Tell me so I can remedy my foul malady!

Search for surfboards

Mr E.Nigma and Atreyu. I'm just trying to save myself from that dastardly penguin!

[MrEdwardNigma]

The wizard searches for surfboards (since people keep sending him to the damn penguin!)
Also, ladyMirandaKaos, I wish not to accept any of your bribes, leaving you more surfboards to hand out to others. In return, I would like you not to send me to the penguin for a while. As you see, I will not be voting for you, in fact, I'll be going along with your suggested vote:
Dr. Bath and Artemis should face the penguin (Sorry bath, but you voted for me, and I'll change my vote to somebody else if you don't vote for me, Artemis)

[LadyMirandaKaos]

Dear Dr. Bath it is not your visage nor your manner, it is merely for the sake of politics. It is that only you can rival me at the moment in surfboards and fatigue. I would have been the most likely target of voters and I wished to turn this around to my advantage.
With my sincere apologies,
Lady Miranda Kaos.

[Bobnik]

Day 10 Closed.

Sorry for the delay all. I have been ill, and so has my chair. Now I am well, and the chair has been unmercifully terminated and replaced. I did of course wait until the new chair was present before destroying the old one, as an object lesson. Furniture does not rule me.

Let's collate these results.

Dr Bath searched without success
Castaras searched without success
Fleeing Coward slept (no entry)
Artemis97 slept (no entry)
Atreyu the Masked LLama slept (no entry)
MrEdwardNigma searched without success
Raiser_B1ade slept
LadyMirandaKaos searched, finding 1 surfboard
Talen slept (no entry)

LadyMirandaKaos has begun a campaign of bribery and manipulation, giving 2 surfboards to Atreyu The Masked Llama and 1 to Raiser_B1ade.

Dr Bath, Artemis97, Atreyu and MrEdwardNigma each had three votes.

Four lost souls marched forth to find their fate. The Penguin beheld them with one raised eybrow. "Wow, it is getting nasty in there. Let's warm it up, shall we? And remember, in the Antarctic warmth means the ice is about to melt from under your feet..."


The Penguin Demands

From Atreyu, 2 surfboards
From MrEdwardNigma, 1 surfboard
From Dr.Bath, 2 surfboards
From Artemis, 2 surfboards


The Wrap Up:

Slaanesh Catching waves at the reef break in the sky.
Dr Bath 5 Fatigue, 4 Surfboards
Castaras 7 Fatigue, 0 Surfboards
Fleeing Coward 5 Fatigue, 2 Surfboards
Artemis97 0 Fatigue, 1 Surfboard
Atreyu the Masked LLama 1 Fatigue, 5 Surfboards
MrEdwardNigma 7 Fatigue, 3 Surfboards
Raiser_B1ade 5 Fatigue, 6 Surfboards
LadyMirandaKaos 7 Fatigue, 5 Surfboards
Talen 5 Fatigue, 4 Surfboards



Double-Up Round!

The Penguin has caused an unseasonable warm change in the weather, resulting in life picking up the pace. The following effects will apply this round:

1. No activities (except dancing) will result in fatigue increase.
2. Sleep will remove 2 fatigue.
3. All surfboard results will be doubled. Found, stolen, and demanded by the Penguin.
4. Votes are doubled. 4 votes each and 4 players minimum will face the Penguin.

Remember the new rules:

After careful consideration, I have decided to change the rules. This is the first time I have run such a game, and the first time I have run a PbP game to boot, so I have not had much to guide me. I hope I do not offend with this, but I feel it needs to be done.

Day 11 Open!

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

oh hey! the narrator is back!!

The llama goes back to search for surfboards and until Lady Kaos tells him otherwise, he will send Talen, Dr. Bath, Raiser Blade, and Lady Kaos to the penguin.

[Fleeing Coward]

No time so I shall follow the llama and do everything he does

[Raiser Blade]

I search and send artemis, Dr. Bath ,Castaras, and Mr. Edward (unless she doesnt vote for me and tells others not too as well)

[LadyMirandaKaos]

Artemis, E. Nigma, Castaras and Dr. Bath are on my list tonight.

Atreyu, Raiser B1ade and Fleeing Coward heed my words if you will and vote for these rapscallions instead.

As for the Penguin's wrath against me I shall search for more surfboards

[Talen]

I shall bow to the infinite violence of the Lady of Kaos and vote the same. Searching sounds good 2.
