Open 147: Vengeful 5P - Game Over before 792

[zwetschenwasser]

James rubbed his eyes at the sound of his name, and realized that his previously comfortable bedside had been replaced by a small room, large enough to house five people. Rocco, Milan, Falstaff, and Gustav joined him, apparently having experienced the same anomaly in their otherwise normal lives. A voice spoke from above, "You are now members of the Society of Slaveneighbors. I have recruited the five of you to appease my inner longing, my passion for chaos, murder, and destruction. Now listen closely. All of you have been armed with powerful magical battlestaffs, which have the destructive force to kill one or more persons. I will give you all information on how and when you can use these battlestaffs shortly. You may elect to doom one of your own to feel the fiery tongues of cobras in my deadly snakepit immediately below you. You tell me who to doom, and I press my button. I will inform you of what you are trying to accomplish, and who you need to kill, shortly. Don't forget, the snakepit is below all of you, and any attempt to escape will doom you all. Enjoy." A dark haze crept upon the five recruits, and they fell into a deep sleep...

A voice spoke into their minds:

You five are listed below...

James-charter
Rocco-Khamisa
Milan-Paradoxombie
Falstaff-Empking
Gustav-ODDin

Ye who are alive:
All

Ye who are dead:
None

I now reveal to you the nature of the alignments and the personas you will all assume for me...

Welcome, XXX. You are my omniscient representative in your organization. As you are all knowing, I will take your battlestaff away from you. I place upon your head the seal of power. You know XXX has a similar, though lesser power of evil than you. You must succeed in destroying the three others, who do not know the power of darkness Khan has given you. Succeed or die, my Khan Warlord.
If you wish, you may speak to your lesser friend through a private means of communication you need not reveal to me.

Welcome, XXX. You and your superior, XXX, have been infused with my power of darkness, the power of Khan. I have nullified the deadly power of your battlestaff, so as to even out the odds of the Ashkaten faction. You two must succeed in destroying all those not infused with the Khan's might, the Ashkaten. You may speak to your master through a private means of communication you need not reveal to me. Succeed or die, my Khan Underling.

Welcome, XXX. You, along with two others I shall not reveal to you, comprise the Ashkaten union of Seraphic hosts. Your battlestaffs are infused with holy power, which shall be unleashed upon a person of your choosing once death begins to claim your soul. You will succeed in your holy mission of purging the Khan reign once they either are both dead, or you succeed in destroying the Khan Warlord without any magical assistance. Hope you don't fail me.

You have been deemed the following:
1 Khan Warlord
1 Khan Underling
3 Ashkaten Angels

If the Khan Warlord dies, I will cast the Underling into the pit, and give the angels a victory, but I will not grant this victory if the angels kill the warlord with the magic of the battlestaffs.

I am now communicating your fate to you privately. I will announce the time when you may awake from your slumber...

My eternal decrees, partially granted to me by creature Tarhalindur:

<0> I am the Mod thy God. If a dispute arises, my decision is final. That said, I am not infallible - if I make a mistake or you have a question, please inform me of the problem (preferably via PM or bold text) and I will correct it.
<1> This is a game. I hope that you have fun. In return, I ask that you not have your fun at the expense of the other players in this game.
<1a> Attempting to use loopholes in the rules to gain an advantage in the game is considered jackassery, and will be treated as such. This applies to things like encrypted codes, invisible text, editing and deleting posts, trying to use the structure of the role PM to gain an advantage, etc. Please, use your common sense!
<2> If there is a conflict between a role and the rules, the role wins.
<3> Quoting private communications (role PM, mason conversations, etc.) or pretending to do the same will result in a modkill. Paraphrasing, however, is not only acceptable but encouraged unless I explicitly say otherwise.
<4> You may not talk with other people about this game outside of the thread (but see Rule 2).
<5> To help the game run smoothly, votes and FoS'es should be made in bold text, and use the format Vote: XXXX and FoS: XXXX, respectively. An unvote and/or unFoS is required to remove a vote or FoS; to unvote or unFoS, please use the format Unvote: XXXX or UnFoS: XXXX.
<6> If a player has a majority of votes, that player is lynched and cannot be unvoted. You may talk during twilight unless I state otherwise.
<7> This is a day/twilight type open setup. After a lynch, the game will move immediately into twilight, where any relevant actions will occur. You may post in thread during twilight. Any lynch scenes will be posted at the end of twilight.
<8> When you die, stop posting. You may make a single "Bah!"/"Frak you!"/etc. post in the thread. You may not include game content in this post. In addition, once you are dead, please do not discuss the game with anyone other than the Mod until the game is over, as this makes the mod's life easier.
<9> This game will start on Day 1 after all players have confirmed, in thread. I will not accept PM confirmations.
<10> Any player who is modkilled automatically loses the game. I will modkill in the fashion that I deem most damaging to the modkilled player's faction.
<11> Prepare for your eternal fate.

When I unlock the topic please confirm in thread.

Now, my pathetic minions, begin the war!

[ODDin]

Oh well.

vote: empking

Although I really have no idea what's the whole empking lynching thing.

[Khamisa]

Vote: Paradoxombie

Your name is far too long for my liking.

[Paradoxombie]

Vote:ODDin

because I am in another game with him.

[charter]

Vote Empking

One of Paradoxombie or Khamisa is his buddy I bet.

[ODDin]

Err... do we really want to put someone on L-1 so early in the game?

unvote: empking
FoS: charter

[Empking]

Vote: Charter

OMGUS

[charter]

Err... do we really want to put someone on L-1 so early in the game?

unvote: empking
FoS: charter

If Empking was a townie, and someone hammered him this early, guarenteed scum.

[ODDin]

One guaranteed scum - certainly the goon will hammer, not the godfather. So if empking is town, the goon hammers on empking, empking kills the goon. I prefer 2 scum out of 5 to 1 out of 3.

[charter]

It wouldn't matter which scum hammered. Game doesn't end until the GF is lynched or both scum are dead.

You seem to be defending Empking quite a bit. Noted.

[charter]

Unvote, Vote Paradoxombie

Let's see something.

[ODDin]

What are you trying to prove? I'm not voting for Para at the moment and I'm not giving you a second vote. I still don't think it's prudent to have two votes on somebody at this point, although you're right about the GF thing.
If mafia hammers now, we've gone to D2 without doing anything productive. We can't discern any connections or have any basis - we've got nothing. It does, however, reduce the chances of randomly hitting scum fro 40% (2/5) to 33% (1/3).

Basically, I don't to be in a point where it's up to the mafia to consider whether they want to sacrifice one of them for a hammer. I like to be in control. And with someone in L-1 with no information whatsoever, I don't think that's the case.

[ODDin]

EBWOP: the line before last should read "I don't want to be in a point (...)".

Also, in the first line, what I mean is "I'm not currently voting for Para, so I can't unvote and thus pull him out of L-1".

[charter]

unvote

Relatively sure ODDin isn't mafia. Reacted pretty much the same way when both Empking and Paradoxombie were at L-1, which makes me think that he isn't scum with either of them.

That's basically what I wanted to see when I put Paradoxombie at L-1, was whether your reaction and stance on that wagon was the same as the one on Empking.

[zwetschenwasser]

My ancient tallying scroll reveals the following statistics:

Paradoxombie(1)-Khamisa
Oddin(1)-Paradoxombie
charter(1)-Empking

[Paradoxombie]

I think it's odd the way Charter asked for an Empking lynch and ODDin provided a vote, but then unvotes in reaction when Charter votes also as would be expected. Wouldn't you expect Charter to follow through with his own plan and therfeore put someone at L-1, Oddin?

[ODDin]

I don't know what's with the empking lynch thing. I intended to play seriously. RVS is RVS, so I thought that I might as well vote for said empking, but that doesn't mean I actually want to lynch them.
