I sent MR a PM about the interrogation room, and he hasn't read it yet, so yeah, he has not been online. Maybe you could make me alive again to take his place?

#355

Sorry again!

I'm here now.

I'm curious what AP's talking about? Is this a lynch or what?

Vomps for me too, I suppose.

#356

Shit, stupid nook I didn't wanna vote for me! What the hell?! -_-

#357

"Farewell, Stanley!" cried the Narrator, as Stanley was led helplessly into the enormous metal jaws.
In a single visceral instant, Stanley was obliterated as the machine crushed every bone in his body, killing him instantly.
And yet it would be just a few minutes before Stanley would restart the game, back in his office, as alive as ever.

What exactly did the Narrator think he was going to accomplish?
When every path you can walk has been created for you long in advance, death becomes meaningless, making life the same.
Do you see now? Do you see that Stanley was already dead from the moment he hit Start?
*chuckles* Oh look at these two.
How they wish to destroy one another. How they wish to control one another.
How they both wish to be free.
Can you see? Can you see how much they need one another?
No. Perhaps not. Sometimes these things cannot be seen.

#358

Am I dead? Or am I - perhaps for the first time - truly alive?

No I'm definitely dead.

That's a matter of perspective.

#360

#361

But listen to me. You can still save these two. You can stop the program before they both fail.

Quit. There's no other way to beat this game.

As long as you move forward you'll be walking someone else's path. Stop now and it'll be your only true choice!

Whatever you do, choose it! Don't let time choose for you! Don't let time choose for-

Vompatti has been lynched.
He was the Narrator.

This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee 427. Employee 427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Employee 427 did every day of every month of every year, and although others might have considered it soul rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job.
And Stanley was happy.

And then one day something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Stanley. Something he would never quite forget. He had been at his desk for nearly an hour when he realized that not one single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow. No-one had showed up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say "Hi". Never in all his years at the company had this happened, this complete isolation. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time. But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got up from his desk and stepped out of his office.

All of his co-workers were gone. What could it mean? Stanley decided to go to the meeting room, perhaps he had simply missed a memo.

When Stanley came to a set of two open doors, he entered the door on his left.
You have up to 24 hours to make a decision, but I will end the poll when a majority is reached.

Good luck.

I'm back sorry
going left
RIP vompatti (if the narrator is good? I have no idea)

#367

The character descriptions are back in the drawing board thread -- basically The Narrator and the Female Narrator are on Team Right. So I figure if we find her, we win. Also, we need to not turn right.

#368

Yet there was not a single person here either. Feeling a wave of disbelief, Stanley decided to go up to his boss's office, hoping he might find an answer there.

Coming to a staircase, Stanley walked upstairs to his boss's office.

Stepping into his manager's office, Stanley was once again stunned to discover not an indication of any human life.
Shocked, unraveled, Stanley wondered in disbelief who orchestrated this. What dark secret was being held from him?
What he could not have known was that the keypad behind the boss's desk guarded the terrible truth that his boss had been keeping from him.
And so the boss had assigned it an extra secret pin number: 2845.
But of course, Stanley couldn't possibly have known this.

Yet incredibly, by simply pushing random buttons on the keypad, Stanley happened to input the correct code by sheer luck. Amazing.
He stepped into the newly opened passageway.

Descending deeper into the building, Stanley realized he felt a bit peculiar.
It was a stirring of emotion in his chest, as though he felt more free to think for himself, to question the nature of his job.
Why did he feel this now, when for years it had never occurred to him?
This question would not go unanswered for long.

Stanley walked straight ahead into the large door marked "Mind Control Facility".

The lights rose on an enormous room packed with television screens.

What horrible secret did this place hold, Stanley thought to himself. Did he have the strength to find out?

I didn't know that the character descriptions were available.

I have to stay up until you guys actually put in the commands.

thank you

Now the monitors jumped to life, their true nature revealed.

Each bore the number of an employee in the building, Stanley's coworkers.

The lives of so many individuals reduced to images on a screen, and Stanley one of them, eternally monitored in this place where freedom meant nothing.

This mind control facility, it was too horrible to believe, it couldn't be true.
Had Stanley really been under someone else's control all this time? Was this the only reason he was happy with his boring job?
That his emotions had been manipulated to accept it blindly?
No! He refused to believe it! He couldn't accept it! His own life, in someone else's control? Never!
It was unthinkable! Wasn't it? Was it even possible?
Had he truly spent his entire life utterly blind to the world?

But here was the proof. The heart of the operation. Controls labeled with emotions: happy, or sad, or content.

Walking, eating, working, all of it monitored and commanded from this very place.
And as the cold reality of his past began to sink in, Stanley decided that this machinery would never again exert its terrible power over another human life.

For he would dismantle the controls once and for all.

When at last he found the source of the room's power, he knew it was his duty, his obligation, to put an end to this horrible place and to everything it stood for.
You have 24 hours to make a decision.

turning it off

#382

I'm not sure how doing nothing and turning it off have different outcomes.

#383

^Agreed.

Personally, I'm hoping turning it on makes some funky Lost isht happen.

#384

I'm with LA on this one.

If you are confused by the information in the adaptation, maybe review the source material to spot any similarities.

#386

it's an adaptation? I thought you were making the images yourself

The Stanley Parable Mafia (2014) is a direct adaptation of The Stanley Parable (2013) which was a game that was an adaptation of a Half-Life 2 mod called The Stanley Parable (2011).

Any questions?

Blackness. And a rising chill of uncertainty.

Was it over?

Yes! He had won!
He had defeated the machine! Unshackled himself from someone else's command. Freedom was mere moments away!

And yet... Even as the immense door slowly opened, Stanley reflected on how many puzzles still lay unsolved.

Where had his coworkers gone? How had he been freed from the machine's grasp? What other mysteries did this strange building hold?

Defeat the Narrator.
You have 24 hours.

MR is my best guess. I think he and Logan were teamies.

I was super wrong about Vomps though so don't follow me blindly unless you've got a nudge as well. We are SO close; let's bring it home, hosses.

you do know that llama was innocent, and vomps was bad, right? no? okay...

#393

I just misspoke I meant I was right about him and wrong about the other. I have a very good reason that I suspected Llama, so much that I'm having trouble processing he was not bad. I will reveal why in the End Game, if there's interest.

But as sunlight streamed into the chamber, he realized none of this mattered to him. For it was not knowledge or even power that he had been seeking, but happiness.

Perhaps his goal had not been to understand, but to let go.

No longer would anyone tell him where to go, what to do, or how to feel. Whatever life he lives, it will be his.

And that was all he needed to know. It was perhaps the only thing worth knowing.

Stanley stepped through the open door.

Stanley felt the cool breeze upon his skin, the feeling of liberation, the immense possibility of the new path before him.

This was exactly the way, right now, that things were meant to happen.

And Stanley was happy.
