[SANDard] Revenge of the WINNERS - The Allied SNOWS and STARS!

lynchline

The day begins with ginganinja quickly insisting the missing askaninjask should be lynched. Spiffy stupidly makes fun of him despite everyone assuming he is probably persuaded.

Nightmare jigglypuff continues his weak cries for SNOWS while Blue_Tornado decides it is in everyone's best interests to lynch nobody, until everyone is united, or at least ensure stealths do not occur.

A wise decision: you may decide to later ally with a faction and they would probably not be pleased if you had randed their strongest member!

And so the lynch is once again, a nonmatter.

"Wow whoever froze me is a jerk!" Fatecrashers says, weakly emerging from his house.

Suddenly out of gd nowhere he is hit by a beam of ice and turned into a giant chunk of snow again!

You may not communicate with Fatecrashers outside the thread.

You can almost hear him muttering, "What the <snip>" angrily, but as he is in ice, it doesn't work. He may post in the thread via his brainwaves penetrating the ice.

Everyone looks around, expecting askaninjask back. He has not walked back yet, so people start to get nervous.

Suddenly he runs up, yelling, "WHOA there was a lot of sand!"

Everyone has survived the day.

We were missing five PMs. We have subs waiting. Don't let it happen again or you're out.
Idling almost led to a VERY UNFORTUNATE event this cycle. It can cost you your life.

It is now Night Two. Night Two will end in 48 hours, 3/26/11 at 4:00 PM PST. Please have all PMs in by then. Additionally, please work to unite your factions! You don't want to be wasting kill cycles because you aren't together.

Result PMs should all be out by the time this goes up.
 
real life made me miss the DEADLINE

how terrible.

UltraPorygon admits he didn't send his action, RaRe telling everyone he didn't either.

Fortunately, only one person missed it this time, and if they miss one more (sadly they've never missed 2 in a row), we're subbing them.
Here's looking at you, 1 missing PM.

Everyone emerges from their rooms, standing in the street to take count.

"Hey, haha, StevenSnype ain't here," Nook giggles, happy that the former MUDSMAN Snype seems to be gone. GoldenKnight rolls his eyes and says it's no loss, the guy couldn't write PMs correctly to save his life.

You all walk around, seeking the supposed body.

Eventually, Khz and Manafii 101 stumble across a cheap motel room containing three bottles of used whipped cream, four unused condoms, two bottles of cheap wine, a six pack of beer, a broken vibrator, a Polaroid camera now missing the film, and one dead StevenSnype.

It appears he hung himself. Around him is a list of STDs, with the title: Crap you're now infected with. It seems whoever Snype had a wild night with gave him herpes, pubic lice, crabs, warts, and an assortment of other vile genital diseases.

You all take him off his noose and wrap a blanket around him, shaking off sand. The coroner informs you he had sand in his penile tract for some reason, as well as copious amounts of alcohol.

It seems Snype's wild night with a loose girl ended quite poorly.

Dear StevenSnype
You are Jesus
buddy_christ.jpg

God incarnate, a crazy lunatic, a great teacher, or a fictional Christian character, either way, you are a very important figure in history through Christianity. However, none of the factions accepted your message, and you are now alone in spreading the good news.

At night you may PM Quagsires and Yeti with the following: "NX- Pray for <user>." <user> will then try to crucify you that night, but you will not be killed from any kills that may be redirected as a result.

You may further PM Quagsires and Yeti with the follow: "NX- Forgive <user>." If <user> tries to kill you during that night, you will die, but you will resurrect whenever you decide is time.

Nightly you may lastly PM Quagsires and Yeti with the following: "NX- Purify <user>." <user> will be instantly killed if they were a member of the SANDS, and will go to heaven as a perfect soul.

<snip>.

You are allied with yourself. In order to win, the SANDS must all be dead. In addition, you know <snip> will oppose you in this. In order to win, <snip> must be dead as well.

Suddenly, a shiny Latios appears.

It kicks the decayed body of Quagsires and tells him, "Wow, that PM was really crappily written. Perfect for Snype you maggot."

As quickly as it came, it is gone again.

How odd.

You all take a few brief moments to mourn StevenSnype, before taking a count once again after all the excitement.

"Where the <snip> did that idiot Nightmare jigglypuff go?" macle grumbles, and sure enough, the meek SNOWS hunter has vanished from sight!

He cannot be spoken to, with, post, etc. for this day. He's GONE.

Still frozen in ice in his room is Fatecrashers. He may thaw someday...

With the sun rising into the sky, it is now Day Three. Day Three will end in 48 hours, 3/28/11, 4:00 PM PST. No delays are accepted. Have all PMs in by then and vote.

Results going out asap - all out.
 
To clarify because there's been some questions:

Like the original SANDS, all names mentioned in the update text are unrelated to each other or the event(s) that took place. The only exception is a reference TO the original SANDS game; this has no significance for this game.
 
That last post was persuaded. Factionmen and neutrals, talk to me! I don't want this day to end in a no lynch; there's definitely a way we can get a better result for (most of) us than no death.

you will all feel the wrath of the stars
 
FYI there has been some interest in/confusion about the faction alliance and merging protocol. The way Quag typed it isn't very clear nor does it indicate my true intentions for the feature, so:

(o 7:25:16 pm o) <&firefly> ok here's how it works
(o 7:25:27 pm o) <&firefly> faction SEA CREATURES FROZEN IN ICE has 3 members left
(o 7:25:42 pm o) <&firefly> they want to merge with the REALLY REALLY UGLY people
(o 7:25:49 pm o) <&firefly> the RRUP agree
(o 7:25:57 pm o) <~Quagsires> Wickdaggler/spiffy in that faction?
(o 7:26:11 pm o) <Snivy> let's not forget Quagsires in that faction too.
(o 7:26:12 pm o) <&firefly> so the SCFII all 3 send in PMs to ally with the RRUP
(o 7:26:20 pm o) <&firefly> but it's a sad day for the SCFII
(o 7:26:39 pm o) <&firefly> because all 4 RRUP send in PMs to merge with the PEOPLE WHO NEED TO GTFO POKEMON FORUMS!!!!
(o 7:26:41 pm o) <&firefly> who have 4 left too
(o 7:26:54 pm o) <&firefly> all GTFO THE FORUMS sent in PMs
(o 7:27:00 pm o) <&firefly> the SCFII got screwed over
(o 7:27:03 pm o) <&firefly> the RRUP/
(o 7:27:06 pm o) <&firefly> GTFO THE FORUMS
(o 7:27:11 pm o) <&firefly> who were probably honestly a bad example
(o 7:27:18 pm o) <&firefly> because really really ugly people are on pokemon forums
(o 7:27:23 pm o) <&firefly> and are so ugly they should gtfo the planet
(o 7:27:31 pm o) <&firefly> but assuming they were individual factions
(o 7:27:34 pm o) <&firefly> are now one faction
(o 7:27:47 pm o) <&firefly> they COULD try and kill each other but that's dumb
(o 7:27:58 pm o) <&firefly> and they no longer need each other dead
(o 7:28:05 pm o) <&firefly> but if all 4 GTFO THE FORUMS die
(o 7:28:47 pm o) <&firefly> and 2 RRUP survive when the SEA CREATURES FROZEN IN ICE and BAD ZOMBIE DESIGNS and WE LOVE CAPSLOCK are all gone
(o 7:28:54 pm o) <&firefly> both win
(o 7:29:07 pm o) <ginganinja> so they are allied for the entire game?
(o 7:29:10 pm o) <&firefly> yes
(o 7:29:20 pm o) <&firefly> BUT you have one shot
(o 7:29:24 pm o) <&firefly> if someone idles and doesn't pm
(o 7:29:29 pm o) <~Quagsires> And you CAN get screwed
(o 7:29:29 pm o) <&firefly> or if you get BETRAYAL
(o 7:29:31 pm o) <&firefly> you lose

(o 7:34:40 pm o) <Captain_Bagman> i'm saying like this happens
(o 7:34:46 pm o) <Captain_Bagman> A and B ally
(o 7:34:51 pm o) <Captain_Bagman> and C tried to ally with A also
(o 7:34:57 pm o) <Captain_Bagman> and now they can't ally with D
(o 7:35:01 pm o) <ginganinja> ah
(o 7:35:01 pm o) <Captain_Bagman> so C and D are now <snip>ed
(o 7:35:10 pm o) <ginganinja> yeah true ish
(o 7:35:11 pm o) <~Quagsires> UNLESS they get together unofficially.

You could run into (1+1) vs. 1 vs. 1, (1+1) vs. (1+1), 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 vs. 1.

Start thinking about who you may want to play nice with or keep around, to later ally with. If you piss a faction off killing/hooking them they may be inclined to BETRAYAL.
 
Apologies for double post:

Flamestrike has been subbed in for polelover44, by request.
Give him some time to review.

Get your actions in, missing 13 PMs right now.
Remember to try and unite your factions if you haven't already!!
 
lynchline

The day opens with askaninjask informing you that you all will feel the wrath of the stars, just as soon as he offs Nightmare notactuallyabletodiepuff as per his apparent persuasion.

Fangren suggests this is a poor idea, and submits his vote to no lynch.

You see the ghost of Quagsires complaining that nobody is getting down to business and voting. What an angry old spirit!!!

Everyone else is too interested with the new men who just walked into town.

A CHALLENGER APPROACHES

The man known as polelover44 turns around, looks back at the warzone behind him, and nods his head, walking forward with determination. Who knows where he is going? All you can tell is he wants out of this. He locks hands with Flamestrike, who walks up from someplace less violent, looking for a good fight, wishes him well, and soon has vanished into the dusty horizon.

Flamestrike enters the fray, ready to crush.

Soon, another man takes his leave. He's getting too old for this sort of war and he shakes his head slowly, casually walking with a firm spine. He glances briefly at the entering Tsuk, slips him a note, and soon, he too, is beyond your line of vision.

Tsuk emerges on the scene, prepared to fight for victory in this messy war.

Back at the lynching tree, askaninjask screams everyone will feel the wrath of the STARS while Fangren rolls his eyes. They hear a noise from the left, and both glance over.

Nightmare jigglypuff runs up, coated in sand.

"Hey guys what's up what did I miss? SNOWS doing okay?" he timidly but excitedly asks, apparently happy to be back.

aska informs him that he will feel the wrath of the STARS, but things seem to be going well, to which Fangren agrees. Everyone else is still busy staring at the newcomers, who have brought superior weapons with them that may or may not actually function.

The trio decide to go and see how Fatecrashers is doing. As they approach his house, he suddenly bursts out, screaming, "FINALLY YOU <SNIP>ING MOTHER<SNIP>ING PIECE OF <SNIP>!!"

It appears he has thawed out!

It is now Night Three. Night Three will end in 48 hours, 3/30/11, 4:00PM PST, as always.
We were missing 1 PM today, don't let this happen again.

Result PMs going out promptly - all out, sent by Quag and I. If you want confirmation PM me on IRC.
We would like a sub, contact me if you would like to sub in.
