My Little Pony WW 2: The Shadow Reign

[Alarra]

I don't know that I'm much of a 'big name' any more. I haven't really played in ages and haven't done anything of note in even longer. Anyway, I'm at a meetup this weekend, actually hosting it, which makes me even busier than if I were just attending, so I don't think I'll be able to post again in the next 3 days. I'd appreciate not being lynched when I am not going to be around to defend myself.

[Elemental]

Well, that's helped me make up my mind.
Istari.

That afternoon, the Count was sitting out on the terrace drinking some orange juice, reading the Fillydelphia Herald. Actually, he had just started reading it, and the headline shocked him.

Mysterious Pony Saves Holiday Makers

Wait a moment... That's Doctor Whooves! But he's here in Ponyville!
Umm... It's Tiaraville now...
Then they should have changed the sign on the post office then. Anyway... He's clearly an imposter!

Maybe so, but the same can be said for many of the ones who were found to be wolves. Murska and Castaras aren't nearly as active as they once were. Yet Murska is still a huge name. And you're a moderator, so people are going to know of you, at the very least

And then I noticed that last Eternis post. Wow, what is up with that? Red flag!

[Diego Havoc]

Changing vote to Eternis. I just re-read that last post and I agree that it's suspicious enough to not ignore.

[super dark33]

I could have sworn i voted today...

Eternis.

[Istari]

Along the big name lines, I'm only well known because I've been around a while, not because of anything notable I've done.

I'm perfectly happy with an Eternis lynch though.

[Lex-Kat]

I'm giving this one more day, since not many ponies have voted.

[usourselves&we]

Hmm, Eternis, because like, we don't know any thing here, and more that likely have not voted.

We'll lynch you when you get back, then.

Eternis for lack of a better option.

[Eternis]

...Damn. That post was REALLY stupid.
If I die, then I can explain it.
Either way, Istari for survival

Edit: I claim to be an average pony, nothing more.

[Elemental]

Well then... Eternis it is.

Your earlier post makes it unlikely you're actually a vanilla town pony. If were a semi-important town role you could have claimed to Grue and he could try to sort out any competing claims and act behind the scenes to try and swing the vote away from you. Instead he's voting for you.

Eternis

[inky13112]

Eternis is definitely town pony, I think

But I don't have much to go on with this

Will vote istari

So, with that paste of information from dead wolf interactions, I'll provide my list of suspects/towntells/etc:

Town:
Grue Bait (For absolutely obv-- WAIT HE MUST BE A WOLF! )
TBFProgrammer(Sensible, helped scumhunt the wolves all game so far.)
Planswalker(I believe I noted my first towntell on him in the spoiler above.)


Smaller suspects:
Diego Havoc(Fairly sensible himself. I don't see him so much as a wolf...)
Elemental(Sort of faded into the background, unsure.)
EvilRoeSlade(Early game he was fairly solid.)
inky13112(Contributive for a newbie. Good enough for me to avoid for now. Also was voted D1 by Gninjaes who isn't the kind to bus most of the time.)
Reinholdt(Autolynch replaced in but has done nothing of note since. Replaced into a townier player though.)
Super Dark33(Superdark, hasn't done anything good/bad all game. Usual fare.)
TigerFang(I don't remember anything notable he's done.)
Penguinator(Seems town for the most part, Gninjaes voting him, then immediately changing when another player was offered is a bit off though.)
usourselves&we(Zzzzzz. Didn't read them enough and I'm tired after the rest of the analysis. =...=)
Tom the Mime(Zzzzz. Didn't read them enough and I'm tired after the rest of the analysis. =...=)

Larger suspects:
Alarra (Nothing of substance, been away, wishywashy.)
Eternis(The most odd post today, and he's been on and off? He's posted very little of substance..)
52.5 Lemons(Absentish. Going to be autolynched today, if I'm not wrong.)

And my largest Fos:
Istari(Just after SuperDark & Plans voted Gninjaes on the day he claimed Discord, He helped push the alternate wagon, buying Gnome a Day.)

Good list but it has a big problem - you're relying on outdated information. Someone got possessed by a changeling last night and the prime target would be whoever has avoided suspicion the most. Thus I would put TBFProgrammer at the top of your suspects, and maybe Planswalker too? I'm not sure what you mean by towntell.

However, today Batmare tosses a ponyrang at Eternis, trusses him up, and hangs him upside down outside of Mayor Mare's office. She stalks off into the night, but returns moments later when she realizes she's left Eternis with no entertainment. Thus she gives him a box of apple juice (a special Bat-invention that can be consumed with no hands while upside down), and a loli-pop, and if he's managed to get this far without saying "You haven't heard the last of me!" then he gets a sticker too, just like all the good criminals she mercilessly beats up.

Day 8

Sub-Lime stepped to his scratch station and looked out at the crowd of ponies. And they all looked back at him in anticipation. Let's get this party started!! he shouted over the microphone, and began working his magic.

The beat was loud and thumping, perfect for getting their minds off the past seven days. Stallions and Mares began dancing without a care in the world. Tonight, they would live carefree.

Outside, a different tail was unfurling. Dorian Grey, a Stallion new to Tiaraville, was busy making moves on Cheerilee. He nuzzled her cheek with his, and whsipered in her ear things best not said on this forum. Cheerilee blushed and giggled. Oh my! she shyly covers her mouth. I wonder what Big Macintosh would think of that.

Do not worry about him. He need never know. You and I, just this one night. You'll experience pleasure that will last you your entire life. Dorian takes Cheeilee's hoof in his. Come away with me. I won't regret it, I promise.

Cheerliee's feels her heart racing, and almost steps closer to him, but suddenly stops. Big Macintosh!

Dorian Grey rolls his eyes. Great. Another reluctant mare. he thinks to himself. After tonight....

A'yup. Dorian Grey turns around, just in time to see a big blur of red come charging at him. With no time to move out of the way. *CRASH!*

Big Macintosh, in his well-contained anger, crashes Dorian Grey through the wall, and right into the head-bopping DJ Sub-Lime. Sub-Lime goes flying out of his sunglasses, and into the party. Not used to this kind of rough-housing at his parties, he takes off, leaving his glasses and turn-tables behind.

Cheerilee, coming out of the spell Dorian had her under, soon follows the fighting duo through the wall. She finds Big Macintosh standing with Sub-Lime's sunglasses over his eyes, searching the room for his enemy. Let him go, Big Mac. He's not worth it.

Big Macintosh looks down at her, and quickly his anger disipates. And the couple walk out together. As they leave, they can hear the music begin playing again. When Cheerilee looks back, some unnamed pony has taken over the turn-tables, and isn't doing too bad.

As for Dorian Grey... well, he was never seen in Equestria again. Apparently the bump to his head knocked some sense back into him. Or should we say her? As he hung upside-down outside of Mayor Mare's office, the grey coat turned pink. The cutie mark of a portrait of a vane stallian was replaced by a teal crystal heart within gold lace. His mane of various greys turns instead to violet, pale gold, and rose. And his features soften to a females.

Later that night, she's found by Mayor Mare, with a Batmare^TM sticker on her nose.

Spoiler

Sub-Lime (52.5 Lemons) has run to escape the violence, as it was ruining his mellow. He was {Replaced by Sitzkrieg}.

Spoiler

Dorian Grey (Eternis)'s illusion has been broken, revealing her true self. He was Princess Cadance.

Night 8 Begins.
It will last about 24 hours.

[Eternis]

Yeah, I noticed that I should have died according to the roles in the starting thing, because according to that, I die when Prince Whatsit dies.
And, like an idiot, I didn't look forward in the forum to see that there was a giant posting of updates to the roles.
But yeah, when he died I became useless. So my claim was correct.

Thank you inky for believing in me.

By the way, would you mind if I kept using Dorian Grey for future MLPWW games? I just LOOOOOOVE that character!

Edit: also, this character is... shall we say... into the stallions as much as the mares. If not more so.

Edit: My apologies for not actually looking deeper into the forum first. (*Is extremely embarrased)

[Lex-Kat]

Eternis, would you mind editting your first edit? Please.

2nd: Some may have noticed the changes that I announced just before the game started. Though I'm glad you pointed out that I had somehow neglected to edit them into the OP. Very strange.

3rd: Of course you can continue playing Dorian Grey. He is your character.

[Lex-Kat]

Night 8

Elixer's eye twitched as he locked up his shop for the night. He paused and rubbed the irritation for what had to be the hundredth time, then continued to lock the door.

He then turned, closed his eyes, held his breath, and tried once again to walk home with some dignity. This had become increasingly hard to do, as his legs seemed to have a mind of their own, dancing every whioch way, as if he was from the ministry of funny walks on theat Dobsy Rattler show.

It had gotten increasingly worse ever since Nightmare Moon took over Equestria. And now that he'd heard that Queen Chrysalis was in charge, it felt as if something was taking over his body. AAHHHHHH!!! he suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, standing on his hind hooves and pounding on his chest.

Then, just as suddenly, he stopped. Stopped everything. His eyes became glazed over, and his head lolled to one side. Everyone, watched in horror as a zipper appeared on the unicorn's chest, which he proceeded to unzip.

But instead of the usual gore you'd expect if this was one of those stories, a foot stepped out of the cotton-fluff filled body. Followed shortly by another, completely unidentical foot.

--------------------------

Elsewhere, in Manehattan, the real Elixir was at an Herbs and Spices convention.

Spoiler

Elixir (Diego Havoc) has become unzipped. He is DISCORD.

All of Discordville has once again been thrown into Chaos. Ha ha haaaa!! Let there be chocolate rain, bring on the cotton candy clouds, let's turn this town upside down!

Rules for the Days of Chaos

Spoiler

Diego Havoc (Discord) will leave the game in three days, but will continue to live on during his Chaotic Riegn. His votes count, but votes against him do not.

Alignment does not change.

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Incoming Chaos! I hope you're all ready for this! (PROTIP: You are not ready for this)

[Elemental]

Bah! Russian Fluttershy has the best evil laugh!
*evil laughter*

Yes. That is the actual laugh from the Russian version edited into the English version with added lightning.
Yes. I have no life.

[Castaras]

I'm so glad I'm reading this thread, and also glad that Discord exists.

Only thing I'm sad about is I'm not involved in this day.

[Tom the Mime]

Chocolate rain? I'd better get my scuba mask and funnel.

[planswalker]

The deep purple pants were absolutely confused. What just happened? Why was the rain brown and sticky? Why was he purple?

Why am I PURPLE?! was the confused and upset thought.

The brown earth pony, though, really loved the chocolate rain. He may not be selling many desserts today, but hey! free chocolate!

[TBFProgrammer]

The wolves have very much enjoyed throwing Eternis' name up in red whenever they are in danger so far, so it stands to reason that someone did so to divert attention from Istari.

I refuse to acknowledge the chaos. ~Mule

[EvilRoeSlade]

Oh look it's TBFProgrammer and his "logic" again. I vote for him because he'd be a prime target for a changeling takeover.

[Reinholdt]

*peeeers at EvilRoeSlade*
I don't deny that TBF would be a good changling target, but dissing his rather sound logic with quote marks seriously makes me question your intentions.

Besides, we really should concentrate on finding any other wolves before jumping after potential changling targets. This will give us time to get information and note any change in behavior.

Istari for the time being.

[EvilRoeSlade]

Well, I suspect that it ultimately wasn't changelings that diverted attention away from Istari.

EDIT: And besides, it's entirely possible that there's only one changeling left and TBFProgrammer's reliance on outdated logic is entirely detrimental.

[Reinholdt]

Well, I have to admit that I can disagree with that.

[super dark33]

Another day another ruler.

Dark spark is sick of all this.


Time to end it.

Dark spark WILL go to the new ruler and kill him.
he doesnt care its a kid show anymore.
He means, most of the veiwers are male adults that should go to work!


Time to end this.
and then eat something.

and when the whole thing ends (game end), its time to teach this "Nightmare moon" a lesson.

But now, that mule is pretty annoying.
time to meet you maker little mu-
*sniff sniff*
that is the best smell of grass he ever smelt.
Im going to eat it, dont start the lynch without me!
(you will)

baaah.

Oooh goodie. I do love me some chaos. Hmmm.... Istari for the moment then.
