Pikachu Tribe - Day 9

The champions boarded the train at Ridgecrest. It was the height of opulence, fit out with only the best of everything; Ossetran Caviar, Dom Perignon, other Dom, perfectly tailored tuxedos, the McGoogle search engine, pristine peacocks, velvet cushions...

Hang on a minute, the McGoogle search engine? Spacedaisy immediately realised something was wrong. Whispers passed through the carriage like wildfire. Scotty and Kylemii were in one corner, talking worriedly. LoRab and Long Con were hunched over a notebook, working out what it all meant. MacDougall had been working on his start-up, McGoogle, for some time. Far from being state-of-the-art, it was an abject failure. An incongruent piece in what was otherwise a wealthy scene. However, everyone knew that Mac himself believed it was the solution to all of the Syndicate's security woes, and issue that had plagued them since the Russian hacking attack of early 2017. Perhaps, one day, it might have been...

"I remember those hackers" said Quin. "They deprived the world of one of my greatest mafia performances of all time."

Investigating further, S~V~S declared what everyone suspected. "MacDougall is on this train when he isn't even a champion, and it's no accident. He's the engineer, and he's been murdered. As best I can tell, the train cannot be stopped!"

"Why can't it be stopped?" asked DrWilgy, pulling on every lever he could find "this shouldn't be that hard." He then spotted the bright orange lever right in the middle, at eyesight level, that said "BRAKE" in big black letters. "What about this one?", Wilgy asked. Nutella pulled it, but it snapped off in her hands.

"It's no use at all" said Epignosis.
"This train runs on your haiku
it's the entry fee."

Nijuukyugou got out the operating manual. Sure enough, there it was. The levers operated automatically, by power of haiku. Perhaps MacDougall was a genius engineer after all, but his talent had been cut short, and no-one could understand exactly how it worked, or what they could do to fix the situation.

"Please train, apply brakes
I'm shit at writing haiku
Refridgerator" said insertnamehere

"The Marmot is here
Perhaps a little self-vote
Will solve all our woes" cried Marmot

"How unfortunate
We are all about to die
Jay could have fixed this" wailed Sloonei

"Why won't you slow down
Don't you know how hard it is
counting seventeen?" beseeched Dragon D Luffy

None of it worked. Several of the champions turned pale. Not everyone had looked at their ticket before boarding the train, and some of them failed to provide the correct fee for joining the trip. Now their failures were possibly going to cost all 23 passengers on board their lives.

The train picked up speed as it reached Fiji. Sig scrambled around looking for one of those cards that explains the correct brace position on a train, but for some reason none existed. Sprityo had the vague feeling that he remembered something about a murder on a train before. Everyone got in to the best position they could for impact... but the impact never came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone looked around. All that was left was half a carriage... and half of them. They looked around and realised that they were on a beach, on an island. Exactly what they were doing here, they couldn't be sure. Suddenly, there was a flash, and a vision opened up before them.


Day six has ended. Colonialbob has been lynched. He was:

13: Charlie Pace. No matter what you do, you're going to die, brotha! You will consume the lynch on day 6, but you are immune from any form of death until that point.


The vision ended as abruptly as it had begun. But just one thing was on everyone's mind - accountability for those who did not haiku!

Day One has begun. You have 48 hours to lynch somebody. All players who paid the correct entry fee will be immune.

The players have been randomly split into two tribes. Your tribe is the Pikachu tribe. The players currently alive here are:

Dharmahelper
DrWilgy
Epignosis
Kylemii
Scotty
Sloonei
Spacedaisy
Sprityo

When using targeted abilities, you may only target people on your tribe.

The following two roles were present in this tribe at game start:

17: Refridgerator (Haiku). Each night, you may choose one player who must post in haiku for the entire following day phase. At least 10 haiku must be posted. Unless the hosts deem that they have failed to meet the haiku requirement sufficiently, no votes cast against that player will count during that day.

15: Cecil (Welcome to Night Vale). Each night, you can write a news article to be published in the thread via the host.

Please remember that there is NO INFODUMPING of any kind allowed.

To have a bit of fun, eh?
Seems the thing to do

But yeah. So Bob won't die his first death for 6 days? Sweet for him.

So roles went out right before the game. So so far you guys, who came straight here, would seem less likely to have a chat room. At least that's my theory for now.

You all also seem to be Haiku senders. So I am unlikely to vote for any of you three; DH, Nutella or Chuck.

The two deaths thing; was that something in a game played while I was on break? Or is it a unique new thing?:
From the Rules:

8) Players will get two roles in this game. You will all get your first role at the start of the game. You will only get your second role upon your first death. If you die twice, you are officially actually dead. When your first role dies (regardless of how you die), your role will be revealed, but your affiliation and win conditions will be kept secret. When your second role dies, your role and affiliation will be revealed if you die by lynch or any method other than nightkill. It is possible for players to change win conditions or affiliations, however any mafia player who has BTSC with their team for role one will continue to have the same affiliation and win conditions for role two

I think it's just a thing to let them put more role in the game

SVS, how CC123 worked was there were like 101 roles and 21 players so every time someone died they got a new role (and new alignment, there were several teams) until all of the roles had been assigned. So yeah this is a simpler version of that

So the way it is written, civvies can change affiliation, but those with factional BTSC do NOT change affiliations? So if we lynch Person X, and they flip bad, then they come back as bad again?

So you have to lynch the same baddie twice to get rid of them, but once you know who they are the first time, you know they are still bad the second time?

The only thing wrong is that affiliation is not revealed when a person's first role dies. Also, only mafia with factional BTSC are guaranteed to remain with that faction. If any other factional BTSC exists, it only guarantees affiliation for the period in which those roles remain alive.

Oh, OK, I see it now: "When your first role dies (regardless of how you die), your role will be revealed, but your affiliation and win conditions will be kept secret. "

Linki, yeah, trying to find baddies is best, even if we wind up with a no lynch on a haiku sender.

Well, then do we really want to catch someone who didn't send in a Haiku? Will there actually be a benefit from that, or is it just story to move the game along? Because if we actually want to catch someone on the haiku thing we just round robin vote since anyone who paid the entry fee is immune.

But I would think that is just storytelling?

about finding non-haikus
Is they get new roles
