Does anyone in here have a block tonight? If so could y'all block me? Alternatively, if you have a protection, could you use it on Epignosis? I would like to cover all bases. I would especially appreciate it if if you did so, you would be willing to state that tomorrow should it come up.

I have the feeling a very bad thing is going to happen tonight, and I think I am being set up as it's perpetrator. So I want to put this out there, maybe I am being paranoid, but it is what it is.

S~V~S who do you think is setting you up?

I think you overestimate how big a deal that'd be.

What an oddly specific fear.

I don't have a block. Good luck, SVS.

I would rather not discuss that until tomorrow. It isn't a person so much as it is an element.

It would be a big deal to me if someone people may perceive as a person I might want dead died. And I have good reason to think what I think.

I don't want to put anyone else in danger, so whether you do or not, I would prefer we not discuss it until tomorrow. I mainly ask to be blocked so that if a bad thing happens, someone can say it wasn't me (and hopefully does say it, lol).

Also YAY, the Spoiler Tags are fixed

OK Everybody, gather 'round and buckle up cuz I got some shit to get off my chest. This whole Day 2 thing was a pretty fun romp, but more important than that you folks stirred me from my slumber and now I'm ready to rock and roll. I was gonna play this game as a free agent, at the service of whomever needed me enough to offer me a good deal in exchange, but something about the wacky Day 2 shenanigans reminded me that I don't play second fiddle very well.





And so here we are, Night 2 and I'm ready to stretch my legs a bit. But quite obviously "King Negan" will not work here in this format as well as it did in Survivor.It just isn't feasible. And so I've been forced to adapt a new, evolved form of the Negan strategy. I Thought to myself: "Self, what's better than one mercenary, one bounty hunter, one gun for hire?" In short "What's better than one Negan?"


And so there I sat, pontificating this great quandary, when the answer smacked me 'cross the dome like good ol' Lucille herself. I present for your consideration the following terms:

This, it seems to me, will quickly and in short order become a game of factions. I think even after Day 2 we can all see faint lines in the sand. Negan's not interested in that bullshit. I just want a good time, and maybe a few friends for Lucille along the way. And so I make this one time offer to any similarly inclined parties: Join the Saviors. Be Negan with me. Hold allegiance only to those strong enough to earn it.
I understand, previously, I've had varying levels of such an agreement with some of you, but now's the time to put that shit in writing. Shake off your prior alliances, agreements, pacts and promises. Swear loyalty to Negan. Be Negan.
Now, with all that said, I got a few rules that I just gotta lay out here for any interested parties:

1. Rule numero uno, above all other rules: Saviors don't work for free. We'll put our weight behind the best offer.
2. Ape no kill Ape. Anyone who takes this deal is protected by it from any other takers.
3. No offer, great or small, will ever be enough for me (and by extension any of the Saviors) to turn on, provoke, or otherwise interfere with SVS.
4. Any member of this pact has an equal say in the actions take by the pact.

As noted above this is a one time offer. You're either in or you're not. So, who wants to have a little fun?

Sounds like the offer I was waiting for

That sounds like fun.

I knew you'd be ready to rock.

I'm in.

Oh rule #5 is sign up for Blue Velvet Mafia so we can play that this year.

You get extra points for the visual, Jack

If this gives me a way to avenge Sriracha, I'm in.

Besides, I like the players who have already agreed.

I like this squad. I'll save Quin a spot in the batting cage.

It's a better plan than your last one. I'll follow the doctor. I'm in.

My only demand is in your number two.

Alrighty I'm thinkin' ~8 is a good number. Applications are closed. We'll now be taking offers for our services.

Dirty deeds done for cheap

Damn, looks like I missed my chance. Guess I'm dead meat.

What gives you that idea?

My whole goal here (I can't speak for those who've joined up) Is "you all go to war and leave me out of it. I'll only help you if you can provide for me." Nobody is in my direct crosshairs.

What sort of things would you like to be provided?

Hey man, I suppose that's down to how badly you need my help.

I need nothing right now, but I am curious. Will you be looking for info? IOUs? Favors? SSNs? Beer?

Anything you feel like offering up, we'll take.

I vote we ask for beer.

i was about to say 'i'll take an iced tea' but then i spilled coffee all over my keyboard so im thinking its a sign of some sort

What a quiet, boring night. We're gonna need to have a fun Day 3 to make up for this

I'm here... I'm here!!!

Field trip this morning and at a car dealership all afternoon. Just got home. What's going down?

Not a lot really. Wondering how you're going to pay me back for saving you.

I chose you last night, DH.

What would you like from me?

I dunno. Thanks for mixing with me though, I hope whatever power it gave you was good.

If I think of something I'll let you know.

Sounds good. And it was good, thanks.

And you, yourself don't want one particular male to win this game?

Oh? Which male is that?

Mediocrates had begun to feel a little more clear-headed since he put on the breathing mask during the Dust Storm. However, when the storm ended, he had taken the mask off again, just as a cloud of scarlet red smoke from some chemical reaction puffed right up into his face. Rubbing his eyes and squinting down at the table, the scene that unfolded before him was horrifying. The elements were attacking each other viciously!

Before the alchemist's eyes, Water formed into a miniature tidal wave, and washed over one of the Darkness samples, refracting Light until it winked out of existence. Psionic and Earth came together, forming a lethal predator of stone, smashing one of the Waters so hard that is splashed right off the table. Darkness flowed into Metal, and then again, lashing out blades sharp enough to fatally cut Light and Air!

As the gasses continued to accumulate around the alchemist's head, he could hear a voice whispering... their names their true names you can know you can say hear read the names true names

His head spinning, he tried to grasp the edge of the table for support, but missed, and his head came crashing into the table as he overbalanced. As he moaned in pain, he peered across the table at tabletop level, and he could see within an element, beyond its form, to its very identity... as it grabbed hold of the other Darkness and shook the life out of it, it turned to him and he could hear its true name whispered...

Nutellaaaaa.....

Holy. Shit.

holy shit.

air is gone, darkness is gone, light is gone. wow.

Got an ID on one killer.

S~V~S has been killed by nutella! She was also Darkness.

Looks like Our Gang lost its leader. Bass, you willing to be dual replacement head honchos?

We'll attempt to honor his spirit by kicking ass and taking names.

Also, Nutella, you have anything you wish to share with the group?
