After the death of another leader, the Stranded once again had to vie for leadership.
Itchni,
TPM, and
BlackHatGuy all stepped up to attempt to lead the crash survivors, but
BlackHatGuy was soon cast into suspicion after he produced a note that he said belonged to
Aclow. Needless to say, the Stranded were confused. Who was this mysterious
Aclow character, and what had he done with
Acklow?!!
BlackHatGuy also said ridiculous things about there being more than two prisoner's dilemma players on the island. This "guy" was clearly either insane or prophetic.
Although there was much confusion about who to follow, it was ultimately decided that they should kill based on a show of hands. However, it was a long night, and everyone apparently really sucked at counting. After the first two people had cast their vote for
Acklow and
Aclow respectively, for some reason there was only 1 vote counted! The next 3 voted for
BlackHatGuy, only for them to find out that they only had 1/4 of a vote between them! Was this really a counting problem or were the malevolent Gods of the island playing a cruel practical joke on the islanders? Let us all hope that it was the first one!
Utimately, it was resolved that they would kill
BlackHatGuy.
By popular demand, they started by removing his hat. Underneath, they found his role pm:
Dear BlackHatGuy,
You are Tabuu.
You are the giant blue Dr. Manhattan knockoff who was the ultimate opponent in the Subspace Emissary. After your plot to suck the world into Subspace failed, you receded deeper into Subspace to regain your power. But now, the Destructive's leader has summoned you out of Subspace to help him gain control over the island.
To use any of your powers, you need Shadow Bugs, and there is someone else on the island who has a supply of them. That person also wants your massive supply of electricity, so you started an anonymous exchange of the two commodities. During the night, you
MUST PM the hosts "Night X - Cooperate" or "Night X - Defect." If you cooperate and leave your trade partner some electricity, and your trade partner also cooperates, you will both gain three points. If you both defect and leave nothing, you will make inefficient use of the commodity you already have, and both of you will gain one point. If one of you cooperates and the other defects, the defector will gain five points and the cooperator will gain none. If one partner in the exchange dies, the other will always recieve one point per night and no longer has to send in cooperation or defection PMs. If you fail to send in a cooperation or defection PM while both players are still alive, you will be godkilled.
Any number of times in the game, you may spend your points to execute certain actions. For two points, you may PM the hosts "Night X - Send Primid to USER." You will create a Primid to sneak up on that user, steal his items, and take them back to you. For three points, you may PM the hosts "Night X - Send Bucculus to USER." You will create a Bucculus to stick to your target's mouth, keeping him from posting in the main thread the next day. For four points, you may PM the hosts "Night X - Trowlon-carry USER1 to USER2." You will send a Trowlon to carry the first user to the second user, forcing the first user to target the second user.For six points, you may PM the hosts "Night X - Send Spaak to USER." You will send a Spaak to spy on that user from above and obtain his full role PM. For nine points, you may PM the hosts "Night X - Send Greap to USER." You will create a Greap and send it to slash that user to ribbons, killing him.
You are allied with the Destructive. You win if the Destructive eliminate all threats.
Interestingly enough, the revealing of this role pm only sparked more questions rather than answering them: questions like the one posed by
Itchni:
"WTF, THERE ARE 3 DILEMMA PLAYERS?!!!"
Clearly very confused and pissed off (one of the most deadly combinations of qualities), Itchni struck the first blow on
BlackHatGuy. At this point, it might have been more appropriate to call him
BlackEyeGuy, because he no longer had his signature black hat on, but his eye was certainly very black. After Itchni had landed the first punch, it occurred to everyone that they should participate in the beating as well. Everyone grabbed their sledgehammers and crates and what have you and wailed on poor
BlackEyeGuy, until he was so bruised all over his body that it was probably more appropriate to call him
BlackAndBlueGuy. He died soon after, something that no one left on the island was sad about, because he was the last of the Destructive!
What does all of this mean for the confused survivors? Everyone was too tired to find out today. Maybe the night will answer the questions that have began to form, or maybe it will only create more questions.
It is now Night 6. Night 6 will end in 24 hours.
