Black Iron Prison: A Phillip K. **** WW game (Game Thread)

[Vampiric]

Aaaand that's it! Update in a sec

[Mordokai]

Well, lets see who's up next for lynching

[Vampiric]

Day 6 ends!

*thunderstorms*

The rain returns.

The group, wet, tired and frustrated, have had enough. One man has enough energy to point at another.

"You, sir, are not one of us."

"What are you talking about? I've been a member of the Rhipidon Society for ages! He's the spy!" He points at another man.

"I agree with the first man. You are not familiar."

Another voice joins in.

"Well, I agree with him! It's you who we should oust!"

This continues for a while, until, from the middle of nowhere, a man pulls a gun and fires a single shot.

The crowd stops, and drops, covering their heads.

The man flees.

As the crowd slowly gets up, they notice that one man doesn't.

Many gasp, and begin to give the corpse space, out of respect.

At least, they do, until they notice the pills in the man's hand...

Mustiado was lynched. He was a Substance D Dealer.

Night 6 begins, and will end in 24 hours.

[Mordokai]

Apparently me

[Hyozo]

Apparently me

If you update the Tempt Mordokai thread I promise I won't vote for you.

[Nychta]

If you update the Tempt Mordokai thread I promise I won't vote for you.

Hey, awesome. If the paladin succumbs to bribery, he'll fall.
If he doesn't, there's a higher chance he'll be lynched. Hooray, either way.

[Jontom Xire]

Ummm, Vampiric, I think EvilDMMk3 should have been auto-lynched...AGAIN!

I'm not sure about Day 1, but otherwise his voting record looks like:

Day 2: Didn't vote.
Day 3: Didn't vote.
Day 4: Didn't vote.
Day 5: Only voted because I pointed out that he hadn't voted for 3 DAYS IN A ROW.
Day 6: Didn't vote.
Day 7: Didn't vote.

So out of the last 6 days he has only voted once. That's an average of once every 3 days and you have a 2 day auto-lynch rule. How coem he gets special treatement? I don't see an away notice posted anywhere.

Anyway, in case I die overnight:

Recaiden: Look at day 4. We lynched Banjo, but Shades of gray also had 7 votes. The last three votes were Mustiado (dealer), Recaiden, and Griever(Dealer alpha) in that order. Days 2, 5, and 7 were also odd. I don't have records for day 6.

EvilDMMk3: Keeps escaping auto-lynch. Never votes except when he absolutely has to to not get auto-lynched.

Mordokai: Still suspicious for all the reasons stated before.

[Vampiric]

Well, heck. Hmmm, I've got him down as voting on the second day...

Anyhoo.

You're right JX. EvilDMMk3 will be auto'd with the night update. Guess I just can't count... ><

[Vampiric]

Night 7 ends!

Lightning flashes, the thunder rumbles, light arcing and rolling across the grey sky.

Two men are silhouetted against the white blue streaks.

Ah. It's nice to finally meet you.

I wish I could say the same.

Oh well. It's not like I need your approval anyway. I assume that you have guessed my loyalties by now? No matter. Basically, we have decided that we have no more use for you.

What does that mean? I've been against you all along!!

Ah, but you see, by acting as yourself, we could predict and shape your actions. But, your time here has run it's course. Goodbye.

No-one heard the crack of the gun over the roar of thunder.

Mordokai was killed by the Substance D Dealers. He was a Villager

However, in the morning, not one, but two, bodies were 'found' missing.

EvilDMMk3 was auto'd. He was a Villager

Day 8 begins!

[Mordokai]

I hate to do this, but...

Spoiler

Show

You can't lynch me, you can't lynch me

Oh well, the best of luck to villagers

[Hyozo]

... I guess I won't be voting for him anyway.

Why would the substance D dealers kill one of the top suspects? I'll hold my point until somebody can come up with something semi-logical.

[Recaiden]

Well, Mordokai was suspicious of Reinholdt?

[Reinholdt]

((Well there is that. If you find me suspicious Recaiden, why didn't you go ahead and point at me?

However, since I don't find myself suspicious and prefer self-preservation over untimely death, I shall point based off of JX's list.
Mordokai No luck there.
EvilDMMk3 He's dead, too.
Recaiden Ah, there you are.))

[Nychta]

Been suspicious of Recaiden for a while, and his counter-argument rang a little hollow.

Recaiden.

[Jontom Xire]

Thanks, dealers. Your night kills just make my job even easier. I only have one top suspect now and that's Recaiden.

I'd also like to say that three in a row is a record for me I think, apart perhaps from WW V where we had the werewolf list and so knew who they all were. I think it might be a record for anyone. Anyway, let's see if we can make it four in a row.

[Emperor Demonking]

The Bushranger

[Recaiden]

Well there is that. If you find me suspicious Recaiden, why didn't you go ahead and point at me?

'

Now, I'm more suspicious of iceddragons.

[Jontom Xire]

I've been reviewing the voting for some other people. IceDragons' point on day 4 was as suspicious as Recaiden's for the same basic reason. Hero 1.0's point on Day 5 (he didn't point on day 4) was suspicious for the same reason.

Just thought I'd throw that in there. I still think Recaiden is the most suspicious for other reasons though.

I'm also wondering how many dealers are left? There were only three masons, I thought with three dealers dead that the game would end. It didn't. There can't be more than two dealers left though, surely. Unless they can recruit and it's not in the rules.

11 players left alive unless I miss my count. So a one or two in ten chance of finding a dealer randomly.

[Hyozo]

Now, I'm more suspicious of iceddragons.

Any real reason behind that Recaiden?

[Heroic]

point at Recaiden

[Aemoh]

*goes along with the wagon*

*points at Recaiden*

[David94]

Recaiden. 10char

[Shadowcaller]

Sorry about the delay, but Vampiric have not been online for some time.

The game is about to end now and I would like the games creator to write the last narration.

I think you can guess the winning team.

[Vampiric]

Day 8 Ends!

The rain finally stops.

Later, some said it was a sign. Some dismissed it as a coincidence.

Some said that VALIS did it, or made us think that the rain had stopped.

Either way, it was a welcome break from the soaking the crowd had received from before.

As they marched on the High Castle that the government hid in, they found that someone was a little too uneasy.

"It seems we have not rid ourselves of this parasite that hides among us. It is you, Recaiden, who are dragging us down. You must be removed."

"Falsehoods! I am more opposed to the government's machiations than you, Jontom! However, I think the true culprit here is Iceddragons!"

Jontom Xire smiles. The dying efforts of a wolf amused him so.

The rest of the crowd sides with Jontom.

"We cast you out, Government Agent. Be thankful we did not take your life!"

Not that it made much difference, he knew. He had failed. That was more than enough reason for the Government to remove his identity from the face of the Earth....

The Rhipidon Society made it's way to the entrance, expecting resistance. There was none.

Are we being deceived? Are they waiting to ambush us?

They moved cautiously through the halls, covering all the rooms as they went.

They finally came to a room that was on it's own, and unchecked by anyone there.

They opened the door, only to find a single, elderly man, looking out the window.

"I should have known you would all make this journey. I expected that by taking out the leaders, I could reduce this rebellion to nothing. I had not counted on your force of will."

Some of the crowd are speechless. Some start to try and speak.

"Please, let me say my piece, before you decide what to do.

As you may have guessed, I am the Government. The President, the Secretary, the Shadow Cabinet, the Opposition. All of them are me, and I am them.

Many years ago, I saw the cruelty our Nation was dealing to itself. I could not decide how to reverse this damage.

I suddenly found myself in a position of power. I rose through ranks, gaining allies, making enemies.

I found that reason would not move people to making decisions that would benefit them. I ordered rules and legislation in place that would force them into the decision. Obviously, some resented this oppression, despite the fact that it was for their benefit.

Some felt that a comfortable life was preferable to causing trouble. They made the necessary changes, and made things better. Of course, the dissenters were causing more and more problems. I had to remove them if our future was to be secured.

I used the police force to deal with those making problems. This just meant some, like yourselves, tried even harder to break my grip.

Eventually, there was a kind of status quo. I was able to relax my grip, without causing problems, and used the media to keep people feeling secure.

Then, some scientists found what you know as 'Death', or 'Substance D'. Initial testing showed almost no side-effects, but a slight decrease in active thinking. This was perfect. Using carefully placed dealers, I could get most of the population under it's influence in under 6 months. The ideal solution - I could loosen my grip, free the media slightly, and let people have a bit more choice - within reason.

The problem came about 4 months later. Some of the initial test subjects were showing signs of addiction, as well as severe cases of chemical schizophrenia.

I couldn't stop the production of the drug - as I had no immediate influence over the production company, so instead I passed a law making it illegal, and putting a heavy sentence on those caught. I found that those who were addicted were easily influenced, and could be used for my advantage.

This is where you all come in. I had realised I had made some mistakes. But I couldn't admit this to the general public - and I absolutely couldn't admit the scale of the problem - it would cause a mass panic, which would be worse than anything I had created so far.

I thought that if I stayed on the course I had made, things would eventually get better. And then groups like yours started to spring up. None made it very far, except for yours. I always wondered what it was that made you all so capable.

Now I know.

I do not know how to proceed from here. I do not believe there has been a precedent with which to base our decisions on.

Of course, I hold the immediate future, of the country, and of me, to all of you."

Recaiden was lynched. He was the last remaining Substance D Dealer!

The Villagers win!

Game ends!

Player and role list upcoming, and a list of night actions can be posted, if enough people so wish.

[Mordokai]

*grumbles* Killed right before the end and just when I had the last dealer figured out...

Ah well, good game in any case.

[Reinholdt]

Wow. A straight 5 days, 5 wolf lynched win. Impressive.

I was dead wrong about Murska and I never would've expected Griever to actually pick his friends. But I was right about Banjo and Recaiden. Though I doubt Jontom actually needed my help there. He probably could have found them all on his own this game.

Oh and apologies to Lex-kat. I scried you night one because I was hoping to get you more involved in the game after none of the masons talked to you in classic. Even if you had scried as a wolf, we would have left alive for a couple days, but getting rid of the devil was too valuable. Sorry again.

*still finds it ironic that Lex-kat's RP partner was the devil.

I just want to say how amused I am when Reinholdt sends in a PM with his scry - it's always a short rhyming poem!

Give us some examples?

[Murska]

*sigh*

This game wasn't so fun. Never once did we have a chance. Wasn't the narrators' or the settings fault but villagers just got quite lucky a couple times and that was that.

@V Oh and Mordokai: I attempted to hint you in the MSN conversation on the last day where I was still alive that Mustiado wasn't a wolf but you didn't seem to even notice it?

[Mordokai]

Impressive work there Aemoh, congratulations, you must be one of the few baners that decided to protect somebody else rather than just himself on night one. Really, good work.

I suspected that Jontom wasn't baner just before the end, but I guess by then it didn't really matter if he died or not.
