Grave Robbers 2: Skippy's Revenge - Game Thread

[Philistine]

I'm not a Creature this time, though... which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, given the way Fears 2 ended. Seriously - one reason I was so late signing up for this one was that I was worried I'd be lynched in the first couple of days, just because so many people wished they'd gone after me early on in Fears. And given that this is an Alpha game - well, I know I wouldn't have picked me.

Anyway, I'm thinking we might learn something from poking Shadowcaller with a pointy stick. Subject to change if we get a "masonically-approved" target.

[PhantomFox]

Blah, I don't have anything really good to go on. Mordokai for now unless I think up something better.

[Mustiado]

Yeah, that's an interesting point, PF. Mordokai, who's been silent all game, now outraged that I didn't immediately supply a target. Mordokai, who really ought to know better, since he knows that a bandwagon day tell us nothing.

I think that makes our target clear. Mordokai

[Mordokai]

I do hope you see the faultness(yeah, I know that's not even a word, but screw that, I'm not pulling a thesaur out) that you call logic.

[Helgraf]

Well, with all these microwagons, I'm just going to stick with my gut. Fin.

Shadowcaller would be my second choice though, so if someone can cough up some reasonable reasoning...

[Griever]

Trusting Helgraf and my gut, Fin.

[Shishnarfne]

"Ahhh... We is supposed to taunt dog with meat? Is easy! Let me show you!" Heading towards the dog, meat extended in hand, the intrepid and eccentric individual starts to demonstrate the stunt before anyone can stop him...

"Here, doggy, doggy, doggy"

A lunge for the meat is met by the retraction of the morsel towards the torso... followed by the dog... Utterly flattening the fool who attempted the taunt... The meat is sent flying a few feet... again followed by the dog who commences to dine on the offering.

"You see, Fin, is easy! I simply forget second rule in rush to remember first. First rule: Never get between dog and meat. Second rule: Not be in straight line with dog and meat. Hold meat to side instead."

[Deathslayer7]

I don't like either of the wagons. So lets go with helgraf.

[Dragoon]

Why don't we make the bandwagons equal, Mordokai.

"Why did I get stuck with the walk the tightrope above the acid?! What type of stunt is that?" Dragoon shook his head wondering if he should have ever joined this group anyways.

[Zar Peter]

Hmm... point at Fin. Becauthe I'm thad there'th no TH in hith name...

[Philistine]

Switching to Mordokai, then.

[LadyMeyers]

Scene 6 ends

Maybe if I reconnect this power supply to here, and this ribbon cable to this port, maybe I can get this to boot up.

Fin fiddled with the interior workings of the set computer. He wasn't the world's most technologically savvy people, but he was the only one around and he really needed to check his email. He was expecting a contract for a new picture from his agent.

If he could only get this cheap computer to work like it was supposed to...

He closed up the computer, hit the power button, and prayed.

It seemed to like what he'd done had worked. The monitor lit up.

Fin zoned out a little. It was so mesmerizing, the computer was. Why he found it so fascinating, he wasn't sure. But he couldn't look away.

Come here. Come closer, Fin. Give me your attention.

Fin leaned closer to the machine. The computer was being very helpful. He reached out to type on the keyboard.

Zap! Now don't do that. We need you to calm down and leave the hard work to me. We'll take care of everything.

Fin dropped his hands.

Just relax. Focus on me. Give me your cooperation.

Fin said nothing, just leaned closer to the hypnotic voice.

Give me your soul. Fin closed his eyes and let himself go.

Fin was lynched; he was an Extra. Night 6 begins now and ends in 24 hours. Send all night actions to Darkcomet and myself.

[Helgraf]

Damnit. Why'd you have to go and be an extra, Fin?

[Fin]

Hmm, I am being killed off with alarming regularity just recently. Perhaps it has something to do with the One Ring!?

Oh and... In your face Helgraf!

[LadyMeyers]

Night 6 ends

Bang! Shadowcaller looked down at the tiny little hole.

That's not going to be good enough.

Time for a bigger gun. BANG! The report for a much larger gun echoed through the room.

Shadowcaller looked down at the new hole and shook his head. Nowhere near enough.

Staring at the still standing Cultist, the sniper paused thoughtfully. An elephant gun might do the trick; yeah, that was it. BANG!

The Shadowcaller's chest blossomed red as a new (and this time, fatal) wound appeared.

Philistine was watching from the sidelines. Wow, he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it himself.

That had been one tough monster. He was glad that they'd lured him to this rec room; it was the one place that you could find any weapon imaginable.

Whew! I'm glad that's over.

Not for you, it isn't. A voice rang right in his ear. He whipped around and froze.

How did you get here?!

You didn't expect him to come alone, did you? You might've won the battle, but I'm afraid that your side had suffered some casualties as well.

The next morning...

Clara looked at the other actors. I have a surprise for you.

The director wants you to work together to create a new scene.

His instructions were, and I quote, surprise me. So get to it.

Shadowcaller was killed; he was the Cthulhu Cultist. Philistine was also killed; he was the Parapsychologist. Scene 7 begins now and ends in 48 hours.

[Darkcomet]

Sidenote: Sorry we're slightly late. I was going to write the night scene, but certain events meant that I was in no state to be trying to think of a scene. Sorry.

[Dragoon]

"Five hundred points to the sniper, pick them up after we finish the movie. Let's see here, surprise the director. Well how about a silly scene, what do you think SweetLikeLemons?"


((darkcomet, it's fine))

[Deathslayer7]

i think we should look at you dragoon.

[Philistine]

Sidenote: Sorry we're slightly late. I was going to write the night scene, but certain events meant that I was in no state to be trying to think of a scene. Sorry.

I'd have been willing to wait a little longer, personally.

Hey, do we have any of that Consolation Cake left over from Fears 2? I need comfort food, stat!

[Zaragon]

The Cake is a lie.

[Darkcomet]

Suddenly, cake appears where Zaragon was killed.

The actors stare at the cake, not knowing whether to eat it or run for their lives.

Eventually, they panic, and one trips over the cake, falling and getting all the tasty icing everywhere.

It really was just a cake.

However, the icing concealed a note...

The cake is a lie
The cake is a lie
The cake is a lie

And then the cake disappeared, and there was no sign that it had ever been there.

This randomness brought to you by I'm Practicing! Ltd.

[Mustiado]

Hello folks!

Okay. We're at end game on this obviously. Sorry I couldn't reveal SC yesterday and save you, Fin, but that was about as subtle as we could be. The sniper works best in secrecy.

With that being said, we have our leanings as to the alpha, whom we believe to be the final creature. We're still waiting for contact from the neutrals and the baner. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, PLEASE COME FORWARD! At this point, we've run out of options. Your win condition is survival. I'm offering you your best chance at it.

[Griever]

I think we should take a closer look at Mordokai. It seems to me that there was some half-decent evidence on him, and he did point at Philistine yesterday.

[Helgraf]

I'm willing to back that up.
Mordokai

[Mordokai]

I think we should take a closer look at Mordokai. It seems to me that there was some half-decent evidence on him, and he did point at Philistine yesterday.

You really think I'd be stupid enough to kill person I pointed at and which pointed back at me if I was a creature? When then are so many better targets? I would like to think better of myself. And yet I can't... *sigh*

Witholding my vote and waiting for Mustiado to give us that lead. Trying to think with my head yesterday almost got me lynched and I wouldn't like that to repeat itself.

Come now brave leader, give us something to work with. Possibly backed by some real logic this time

[Mustiado]

Well, if the people are going to demand.

We've waited long enough. After careful analysis of the wolves team, we've determined the Alpha is most likely to be Banjo1985.

Sorry, Banjo. I think your number is up. Very cleverly played with the 'accidental' killing of Murska after discovering he could void your kill, though.

[Griever]

So has it been spoketh, so shall it be. Banjo1985.

[SweetLikeLemons]

I am comfortable with that. Banjo1985 it is.

[Jontom Xire]

I point at Banjo1985. Baaaaahhh!!!

[banjo1985]

You're pointing at the Thief? Silly people, that won't do you any good. You should be out to get the actual creatures, like Mordokai maybe? As the thief I could be easily taking items from your suspicious targets, but instead you want me dead? Sounds like you don't really know who the last creature is after all.

I believe this is time for me to use my item. You has been warned.
