Blue's in a bind. They could try to stage a comeback and likely fail, or they could resign themselves to being kingmakers. Screw it. It's a game, and you only live once. They load up for bear in Brazil, and kick down green's front door, trying to retake their former base. Unfortunately, the dice just aren't having it. The offensive is nearly stalled entirely by green's last trooper in North Africa, who single-handedly takes down six blue soldiers. Blue wins a Pyrrhic victory, and takes the territory. Green spends its turn retaking Ukraine and North Africa, and settles in for the endgame.

Yellow capitalizes on the ineffectiveness of the other teams, and lays down a card set. As soon as the other players see the set drop, on top of yellow's continent bonuses and dominant position, means the game is effectively over. Sure enough, yellow drops a metric crapton of troops in the Middle East, and begins to stomp their way through Europe.

"Shouldn't have left Ukraine so weak,"

Pine says.

"You call Ukraine weak?"

Flubbernugget shoots back, apparently referencing Seinfeld. With nothing left to lose and the winner a foregone conclusion, Flubber completes the bit and flips the board, sending multicolored armies flying.

"Screw this game! Every damn time I think I'm winning, you pull some cards or whatever out of your ass and win!"

The tirade had quickly risen to a crescendo, as half-drunken near-wins are wont to do, but Flubbet ignores his teammates' frantic attempts to hush him. When he finally stops, everything is dead silent...except for a shrill and piercing baby's cry.

Uh oh. Now you done it.

[Pine]

The near-silence is deafening.

"One thing.

"I asked for ONE thing, you guys. Keep the noise down, Pinecone is sleeping.

"BUT NO. We can't have a nice evening with friends! Apparently, we've got to WAKE THE BABY!"

The crazy builds ominously in Pine's eyes as he rants, his fists clenching and unclenching, and suddenly he springs to his feet, grabbing a handful of fallen green, blue, and yellow army tokens. He kicks Flubbernugget down and shoves the fistful of pieces into his mouth, holding the nose to make sure they go down. When Flubber chokes and tries to inhale, a second handful follows, with a few cannons shoved up his nostrils to finish the job.

Long moments follow, with Flubbernugget's heels drumming on the floor, trying in vain to draw breath. Eventually, silence reigns again, broken only by a baby's cry.

Flubbernugget has died! He was a

Vanilla Townie

"The next son of a bitch who wakes the baby gets the same. Don't test me on this. Clean that up, while I go give her a bottle. Check out the games closet, figure out what we'll play next."

Please note that I can't run a game I am unfamiliar with, so

Resolving actions and generating daystart...

[Pine]

Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Okay, guys, she's back down. Let me get some coffee and we'll put this whole business behind...what the hell?!?

Laid out on the kitchen floor, a dozen stab wounds in his back, is the body of dramonic. After a futile attempt at resuscitation, a search reveals a small concealed pistol and some rope. Looks like he tangled with the wrong person.

dramonic has died! He was a

Mafia Prime-Number-Night Jailkeeper!

Ummm, okay, he was definitely alive when I went upstairs. Errr, let's get this body cleaned up, and then we can get back to our evening. Inferno suggested we play

Munchkin,

so let's do that. Help yourselves to booze and whatnot, let's try to have some fun.

Guys, I know TWO people who did a thing at night.
One of them was so loud I couldn't help but hear it, and the other one killed a dude. Or at least tried to.

How should we proceed - I do not wish to out our Vig and I'm not sure that one person being so noisy means anything alignment-wise..

[HitAlt]

Also mad respect to Pine for the flavor.
THOROUGHLY enjoying it so far!

VOTE: Andrius

If you are Town, you should sheep this. I will post a full refutation of MoI and also fully explain on Andrius when I get to a computer (at work rn).

Why should I sheep you?

[Inferno390]

No
Hit talk to me
Did you do some sort of investigation on dram?

[Inferno390]

Because I am now basically conftown now brass. And my association chart says that Andrius is the most reasonable for lynching.

[Pine]

Also mad respect to Pine for the flavor.

Thanks! I try. I figure it's better to have a game with slightly-less-prompt VCs and daystarts, but which players will enjoy and be engaged by.

[brassherald]

Okay, sure.

VOTE: Andrius

[Raskolnikov]

Duncecap for me I guess.

[Raskolnikov]

Actually really duncecap would be lynching hitalt (probably town in retro) instead of vt flub

[Inferno390]

So
brass, why coming in with Taly?

[brassherald]

So

He was the main one arguing against lynching dramonic after the claim, as I recall. dramonic was scummy af, I feel like it was scum trying to protect their PR.

[Pine]

Oh!

With dramonic flipped, I feel comfortable now commenting on the D1 discussion of whether the role was Normal.

The new Normal rules opened up a lot of latitude in X-night modifiers. I decided to do something unusual, just for funsies. I cleared this directly with implosion. The relevant passage:

Any-nights-specific: you may only use your non-factional abilities on the specified nights. For instance, the following are all now whitelisted:

Night 1 and 3 cop
Night 2+ vigilante
Night 1-4 jailkeeper
Night 1 and even-night neapolitan

In my experience most stabbings are serial killers?

Guys, I know TWO people who did a thing at night.
One of them was so loud I couldn't help but hear it, and the other one killed a dude. Or at least tried to.

How should we proceed - I do not wish to out our Vig and I'm not sure that one person being so noisy means anything alignment-wise..

Do you *know* someone tried to kill someone or is this speculation based on 'I know two people did things'.
There's a line here and we need to be careful because I *also* know things.

APPARENTLY ME AND CHICKADEE WERE GETTING "COZY" ON THE COUCH LAST NIGHT

And I also got a mysteriously-wrapped BANANA last night so whoever gave me that thanks for my daily supply of Potassium and Vitamin... whatever bananas give you.

Lemme think how I want to move forward with something. Give me a minute.

[Raskolnikov]

TFW you thought he was trying to hardgrab towncred by doing the obviously protown thing by not lynching claimed pr day 1.
