The Syndicate

I was hoping to see more votes by now. I am going to have to go with Bullzeye on this one. He was on the winning side and, despite having a really busy schedule, he pushed through it and played really well (though I thoroughly enjoyed watching Wilgy and gleam's distancing game unfold).

Had the civilians come back to win it, my vote would have gone to INH for giving them the chance they needed.

I'm glad to see people enjoyed the game for the most part. I can't wait to be back in the hosting seat, hopefully with less mistakes (and less drama) next time

I'm reservin my vote for after more people have voted. These are each deserving candidates so far

Apologies folks! I completely forgot about the Heist MVP. So, if you played this game please vote for the person you thought played the best in this game. Who is the Attack on Titan Heist MVP?

sig wrote:Thanks for the game Drac! Looking forward to that promised role madness version of this. :P

Yes! I almost forgot to announce that for those who didn't know already. If you at least enjoyed the theme of this game, I will be working on a full Attack on Titan game with more characters and way more role madness. Eren Yeager's ability in this game was just a small taste of what you will see in the full game. This will be further down the road, though (preferably after the second season premiers so I don't have to worry about spoilers ). I will also have a someone acting as my co-host because I know it will be too much for me to handle

I second this

I'll post more later.

Yeah... She was the only civ role that would survive the first attempt on her life. And she survived a night kill attempt, of all things.

Yeah, I'm sorry for not being clearer. In hindsight I shouldn't have said "48 hours" so casually several times. It became a bit of a bad habit. I will keep that in mind for my future games

In any case I hope everyone at least had fun playing. I'd love to get some feedback on the game, and on my Day/Night posts.

Special Role:

Eren Yeager - If Armin Arlert is targeted with a Night Kill, you will die in his place. If this happens, your "Titan Form" will activate giving you a 1-time-use night kill to use on whomever you wish. This ability will also activate if you are targeted with a night kill. You must use it within the next 2 Night phases.

Because of the circumstances, I had INH use this ability immediately. And he used it perfectly. Well done, Sir! I'm sorry you didn't win in the end, though.


Linki: To be fair, I have said 2 or 3 times in thread that phases will ALWAYS end at 9pm and to ignore the clock on the poll because I don't know how to manually force it to say 9pm EST. I understand not reading large posts, but those were all very brief posts...

Dusk was fast approaching Trost. Titans are terrifying enough in the middle of the day. But now... How many titans had Levi killed? 20? 25? He had lost count, but that was understandable. He stood alone on a rooftop and listened.... Silence... Silence can be good... But it can also be deadly. With that thought he took off in the direction where he had last seen the recruits he was left in charge of. Almost as soon as he had propelled himself forward, the color of the sky changed. There was a flash of lightning far ahead of him, a wave of heat. No. Panic gripped him as he increased his speed. There was another flash of lightning farther along to his right. Shit! NO! He could hear screams in front of him, so he continued on in that direction. He could hear loud crashes now. The sound of brick buildings crumbling, accompanied by the sound of metal clanging and snapping.... the sound of bones breaking, of bodies hitting the ground. "NO! GODDAMMIT NO!!!" He screamed as he flew into a clearing. This was where he had seen the flash of lighting. He stopped short, unable to believe what lay before him. This... This wasn't a fight. This was a one-sided slaughter. The lives of those entrusted to him lay scattered across the earth in front of him. And in the center of it all... A massive 15 meter aberrant was hunched over the body of a2thezebra, chewing on what remained of her. The titan had noticed Levi's arrival. It looked over at him with bright, blazing red eyes... and smiled at him, Zebra's lifeless torso dangling from it's teeth...

In that case we will keep the Day at 48 hours. I don't want anyone to feel inconvenienced this late in the game.

It is now Day 6. I will have the new poll up and the thread unlocked very soon. Please be patient.

Quin wrote:I guess in hindsight the fact that the mafia actually allowed a three way tie to exist earlier should have meant that it was unlikely any of the three were bad. With that, I have my doubts about the marmot being bad.

Since the game's still not over I guess this means we have another day, unless there's a reason outside of the civ/maf ratio to warrant it to continue.

Yes. 1 more Day to do something worthwhile. Both sides are still in this with a fair chance to win.... barely.

It is now Night 5. Titans, you have until Friday 10th at 9 pm EST to send me your next target. Good luck humans.

Sig sat against a wall near leetic's body. The gaping wound in his side caused by sig's blade had finally stopped bleeding. Sig's body, however, would not stop trembling. Tears soaked his uniform, while blood stained his blade. Human blood. My friend's blood. His legs seemed to stop working, too. Rendered useless by the horror of what had happened. The tremors of a titan fast approaching were present, but he was numb to the sensation. I can't do this anymore. My friends are all dying around me. I can't. I can't. There are just too many. And we are too weak to kill them all. I can't... Humanity can't win this fight.
A scruffy, bearded, gray-haired titan that was 10 meters tall gently pinched the back of sig's uniform, and lifted him up. Fighting is useless now. Besides, I can't make a difference anymore. None of us can make a difference anymore... Well, maybe one. His body dangling freely in the air, sig's gaze fell upon the gaping mouth below him. 2 rows of large teeth stained with blood glistened in the sunlight as he was slowly lowered into the darkness below. Anyway, I hope it's quick....

Inspired by Zebra's courageous words, the others drew their blades, faced the titans nearest to them, let out a battle cry, and launched their attack. Rabbit8.1 found a relatively small 4 meter titan near him. It was facing the opposite direction. Perfect. He charged the thing, not realizing it had a companion around the corner. He was within a meter of the titan's neck and was about to deal a death blow when a large hand knocked him out of the air. A second ten meter beast which had a menacing, sadistic smile on it's face gazed down at him. The titan grabbed the wire of his grappling hooks and began to lift rabbit8.1 up to it's face. Bruised and battered rabbit8.1 still had some fight left in him. He had managed to hold onto one of his blades when he was knocked down, so when they were within range, he struck out at the titan's eyes, managing to pierce one of them. That shake the titan enough to drop him. Rabbit struggled to get to his feet, but one of his ankles seemed to be broken. He let of a cry of pain and fell back to the ground. Rabbit looked around frantically to see if any of his comrades were nearby. But instead he found himself face to face with the 4 meter titan he had originally targeted. Before he could react, the creature dove onto him and chomped down on his neck, decapitating him...

It is now Night 4. Titans, you have until Tuesday 7th, at 9:00 pm EST to send me your target. I will open the thread back up for discussion shortly.

"Stop quivering and help push my cart through you worthless dogs!!" The merchant's bellows made him numb to the tremors of something large approaching the crowded gate. Metalmarsh, insertnamehere, Bullzeye, and Serge all felt it, though. Sweat began to bead on their foreheads. Metalmarsh approached the merchant. "You! Officer! You're supposed to be enforcing the law here! You should be making these dogs push my cart through the gate! Why the hell aren't you doing anything? You're just as useless as the rest of this lot!"
"I need you to calm down, Sir. We're in the middle of evacuating these citizens and your cart is blocking their passage."
The merchant's face went bright red. "Blocking their passage?! These goods are for the King! They are worth more than all of their lives put together! How dare you insinuate that they are more important!" The merchant's own men were still struggling to push the cart by themselves. Puddles of sweat building up below them. "Put your backs into it, men! It seems we'll get no help from this bunch of useless vermine!"
The tremors soon bore sound, and the booms that they brought grew steadily louder. While Metalmarsh continued to try and negotiate with the merchant, insertnamehere, Bullzeye, and Serge propelled themselves up onto a roof next to the crowd to get a better look at what was coming. They drew their blades when they made it up, but horror struck their faces as soon as they did. An aberrant. Far down the alleyway a 13 meter titan had turned the corner with considerable speed, its momentum causing it to ram into the building in front of it. That didn't slow the monstrosity down much, though. It quickly recovered and began to run toward the mass of civilians. It's massive belly and bowing legs made it slower than it could have been. However, other than the armored titan that obliterated Wall Maria's inner gate, no one had ever seen a running titan.
"Shit." insertnamehere cursed their luck. "We need to act now! Or all of these people are dead!"
"Roger!" "Roger".
The three took off, blades in hand. insertnamehere hugged the wall on their right at a high speed while Serge and Bullzeye sped along the rooftops to the left. They couldn't tell if the titan had noticed them yet. It's eyes were all but shut, it's mouth wide open as it ran. If titans weren't terrifying man-eaters, this could have been a humorous sight.
"I'll try and distract it! You 2 go for it's neck!" Serge opened his gas tank shot forward at an upward trajectory. His plan was to fly past the titan's head and slice it's face in order to draw attention away from the crowd and his comrades. The titan, however, had better sight than anticipated. And better reflexes. Serge was almost within reach of the titan's enormous head, when it's gaze darted directly to him. Instantly, the large being brought up it's arm and swatted him against the wall with such a force that it caused bricks in the wall to break away. When he hit the ground, blood shot out of Serge's mouth.
"No!" Bullzeye reacted quickly. He propelled himself down between the titan's legs, sliced at it's left ankle, and used his other hand to shoot a hook up to the roofs to his left. The titan stumbled a long way. Eventually, after passing inh, the titan completely lost it's balance and fell on it's face. insertnamehere didn't miss a beat. He fell upon the creature's upper back and swung his blades with full force, destroying the nape of it's neck. The titan shuddered and then ceased all movement.
No longer concerned with the titan inh and Bullzeye immediately went to their fallen comrade. When they got to where Serge had fallen, they found his whole body shaking as was taking shallow, raspy breaths and was.... eating a potato. He chewed the piece in his mouth slowly, his face twisted in pain. "Don't tell the captain, but.... I stole this from the kitchen this morning... You know... In case I got hungry on the wall." inh and Bullzeye smiled at him, tears welling up in their eyes. Suddenly Serge had stopped breathing, and the potato rolled across the ground away from him, stopping when it hit Bullzeye's boot.

By the way, how are ties resolved in this site?

It varies between hosts. As for myself and this short game, I am randomizing ties.

Everything was happening so fast. The little hope that remained was falling apart for humanity. At the moment, Zebra only hoped that all of the citizens were able to escape, unharmed. The ten and seven meter titans before her, dripping with the blood of her comrades, didn't leave room to hope for much more than that. Both approached her, hideous smiles upon their faces. She was on her knees still, her blades in front of her still steaming with the blood of the titan she failed to kill. What use is it? Why should we continue to struggle and die? As long as the civilians have escaped this time... that's all that matters, right? The ten meter titan was closer. It began to reach out for her. I'm exhausted. I can't do this anymore.
Fight!
What? Zebra thought she was imagining things.
Fight!
No. I can't. She thought.
Fight! Fight! Tatakai! If we don't fight, we lose. If we don't fight, humanity loses. Tatakai! TATAKAI!
Yes. As the titan's hand began to close around her, Zebra grabbed her blades with lightning fast reflexes, and swung them both vertically with such strength, she cut all of the titan's fingers from it's hand and broke her right blade in the process. She leaped back out of the titan's reach, ejected the broken blade and drew a new one.
Zebra was gritting her teeth, staring down the titans before her. This is not over. "THIS IS NOT OVER!!" Nearby comrades stared at her in disbelief. "Humanity must rise. We must fight. Or die trying!!" Some of the others were moved to tears. But they all drew their blades. They all gave a loud battle cry as they moved to make their attack...

leetic wrote:After a long day of chores, this is what I come back to. Seriously, guys?

Oh well. Is there a deadchat for this game?

I do not have one set up for this game, no. If enough people show enough interest in it I could ask one of our wonderful MODs to make one.

It is now Night 3. Titans, you have until Saturday the 4th at 9 pm EST to send me your next victim.

I'll state this again for everyone's benefit. My end-of-phase times will ALWAYS be 9 pm EST. I don't know how to manipulate the time on the polls down to the minute, so just ignore those going forward.

Effective immediately rabbit8.1 will be replacing in for MovingPictures07.

Thanks for at least trying to participate in my first game, MP. Good luck with your PHD program!!
And I was so looking forward to writing your death post.

Effective immediately: Quin 2.0 will be replacing in for Dyslexicon.

Please don't kill him right away

It is now Day 3. You have until 9 pm EST on Friday 3 to kill a titan. Good luck.

Everyone was thrown into a panic after witnessing the deaths of 2 of their comrades. Most had scattered to the rooftops of further buildings and houses in every direction after Hannah Diamant's demise. Some were much safer where they had landed. Others found themselves closer to more titans. "Dammit!" rabbit8 exclaimed, as he watched Mina Carolina go down from afar.
"One more day. Just one more day! We could have chosen to be behind Wall Sina. We could have been safe from all of this shit! DAMM..." As cursed the fate of him and his comrades, a massive hand smashed the roof next to him. Although he wasn't hit directly, the sheer force collapsed the roof, causing rabbit to tumble inside. He forced himself to continue rolling toward a door he had spotted passed a massive, ever-searching hand. Smashing into the door, rabbit bolted up, yanked the door open, and darted through. Breathing deeply, he gathered his thoughts, "This building has to be 13 or 14 meters tall. I'm dealing with a 15 meter MONSTER! DAMMIT!!"
The titans hand burst through the door and wall, slamming rabbit into the wall across from him. The wind was knocked out of him. Rabbit lay on the floor gasping for air as he watched the groping fingers get closer and closer to him. It only took a finger and a thumb for the titan to pick rabbit up. One more day... ONE MORE DAY! "Dammit! CHIKUSHOOOO!!!!" He used his very last breath cursing every titan to walk the planet.

You know what? I'm feeling generous. The thread will remain open during this time. Better make it a productive night

I haven't figured out how to manipulate the exact time and day on the poll, itself. Ignore the time on the poll and just keep in mind what I post in thread.

Unfortunately, I am feeling really under the weather right and don't feel much like doing a lynch post. Also, I'm kind of surprised there are only five votes on the board.
