Athena August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 I'm the Kingslayer! I heart Jaime. Today, I made myself a Dark N Stormy with local ginger syrup, sparkling water, and Gosling's rum. Then I baked bourbon brownies. 5 Link to comment
Jesse August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 I am apparently Vizzini and Tyrion. Maybe I overestimate my own cleverness?? 2 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 I'm the Kingslayer! I heart Jaime. Me, too! And me, too! Jaime is my favorite. Never would have thought I would say that after Season One... 2 Link to comment

TJtrack99 August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 Sean Bean! As I don't watch Game of Thrones (I know, I know *ducks*), I have no idea if this is accurate or not. Sounds like it could be. 1 Link to comment
Drogo August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 Well, I don't watch Game of Thrones, but this sounds like me. Khaleesi got this one, too. Definitely awesome. Sean Bean! As I don't watch Game of Thrones (I know, I know *ducks*), I have no idea if this is accurate or not. Sounds like it could be. Ned Stark was the best character on the show. A word of advice, though, TJ: Try not to lose your head. 3 Link to comment
SVNBob August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 I'm the Kingslayer! I heart Jaime. Me, too! And me, too! And again I make 3. So my role for our Game of Thrones was appropriate. I really need to read and watch this series... 3 Link to comment

Hanged Man August 18, 2015 Share August 18, 2015 Oh for fucks sake. I got Cersei. Between getting Cersei and Vizzini I am beginning to think I may not be as nice as I thought I was. From now on I am cutting down on the nice and escalating the intake of the unpoisoned wine. 5 Link to comment

Meredith Quill August 21, 2015 Author Share August 21, 2015 Night 8 Just Desserts His heart sank as the boy disappeared from view, Oh hell, what am I going to do now?! he thought despairingly. As he turned to take the long walk back a voice called out, “Murderer! I saw what you did. Murderer! I know who you are, I’m going to tell!”The Albino looked around but couldn’t see where the voice had come from deep in the trees. He heard rustling and the sound of someone moving hastily ahead of him. “I didn’t do anything, I tried to save the boy!” he yelled back but was met with only silence.Eager as he was to put this behind him, the walk back to the clearing, where the secret entrance to The Pit of Despair lay hidden, seemed to take forever. As he neared the clearing he could hear angry shouts from what sound like a very large crowd indeed. He stopped, feeling wary, and peered from behind a tree to observe what was going on. “Are you sure this is the right place?” one man asked aloud.“Yes, I’ve been here before but they all look the same” shrugged a huge man whom the Albino recognized, causing him to shiver with fear.“Well he has to come out sooner or later, then we’ll have him!” another man stated calmly.The Albino watched as they continued to mill around the clearing poking at tree trunks without success. Eventually someone suggested, “Maybe this isn’t the right clearing? I say we go look for another one”.“Yeah maybe you’re right” the huge man sighed.They turned back and began walking in the direction where the Albino was currently hiding. The Albino threw himself into the nearest bush and sat quietly as the sharp twigs and thorns scratched at his face and body, afraid to move a muscle as they passed by.Once they had moved out of sight and he could no longer hear them he crept out from his thorny hiding place and scrambled to his feet.Moving quickly with his heart pounding in his chest he made for the secret entrance and pushed the knot in the tree trunk. The door swung open and the Albino dived inside, relief flooded over him. He watched as the door slowly closed once more, desperate for the security it provided. With only an inch to go, a meaty hand shot in and grabbed the edge of the door. The Albino’s eyes widened in horror and shock, “Noooo!” he cried out as the door was pulled open once more.“You can’t be in h-h-here!” he stuttered as Fezzik’s face came into view.“Says who?” a voice asked from behind the huge man.The Albino backed away and half stumbled, half fell all the way down the stairs backwards.“I’ll call the guards, I’ll call the brute squad!” he shrieked, panic stricken.“I AM the brute squad” Fezzik chuckled.“That’s him! He killed a boy, I saw him do it!” the same voice from earlier shouted. Looking at his accuser the Albino could see it was a young man he didn’t recognize.“I didn’t kill anyone! I tried to save that boy, he fell, it was an accident” he stated shrilly.“Liar! You were chasing him, that boy was trying to get away from you, I saw the whole thing!” the young man spat back at him.Having reached the main chamber of the Pit, everyone was eyeing The Machine; “What is THAT?” one asked.The Albino was too petrified to give a coherent response other than “mmph, er, I, not..” as Fezzik cut him off, ”That is a bad machine that hurts people, it hurt my friend real bad”.“Destroy it! Let’s make sure it can’t hurt anyone else!” the young man shouted.Fezzik advanced on The Machine just as a new voice called out above the din, “Oh, I think we can find one last use for it before it’s destroyed” everyone turned to see who the new voice belonged to.At the top of the stairs stood the Man in Black with his hands on his hips and a grin beaming across his face. Out from behind him poked a head with curly dark hair, “Fezzik my friend!” Inigo cried out and pushed past Westley to go greet his huge buddy.“Inigo, I been so worried for you. You found him, you found the Man in Black! The Princess will be so happy!” Fezzik said all at once, delighted to see his friends once more.“Oh yes, well, to tell-a the truth, he found-a me” Inigo said a little sheepishly. “But I took him to a Miracle Man and he remembered who-a he is now” he said smiling, “I did-a good, no?!”“You did very good Inigo, I’m so proud of you” Fezzik chuckled.“Enough with the family reunions for now, we have this ‘person’ to deal with” Westley stated as he descended the staircase.The Albino was shaking now, unsure of what fate was in store for him.“I think a poetic end would be for him to be the final ‘experiment’ this infernal machine ever performs” Westley suggested.Everyone nodded in agreement. “Fezzik, would you care to do the honours?” Westley indicated to the machine with a hand.“Sure, I can do that” Fezzik replied taking hold of the Albino, who began screaming. He lifted him up and laid him on the machine, holding his legs and torso down, Inigo and the others began to strap him in.“Someone please gag him, that screaming is going to give me a shockingly bad headache” Westley asked, covering his ears.Someone stepped forward and tied a rag around the Albino’s mouth, once he was fully secured everyone stepped back except Westley, who stepped forward, “Now this is going to hurt, quite a lot actually, I can attest to that. Please do try to keep the noise down.”The Albino squealed in terror as Westley walked back to the starting mechanism. “This is for every person you helped to cajole, kidnap or kill using this damnable machine. Know that it was all in vain because it will be destroyed along with the records and plans immediately after your death” he announced. In one fluid movement he pulled the lever and turned the dial up to full. The Albino’s eyes widened briefly as his mouth opened in a muffled scream, a few moments later he had expired.Emerging sometime later from The Pit of Despair Westley was greeted by Buttercup who threw herself into his arms, “Westley you came back! Can you remember me?! What happened? Are you ok?” she reeled off the questions between kisses, giving him no time to answer.Peeling her away for a moment he looked deep into her eyes and softly replied, ““I told you, I will always come for you, this is True Love, you think this happens everyday?”Then he kissed her. The End.The Mostly ALL Dead:Jesse – Yellin, Neutral, Recruitable.You are the leader of The Brute Squad, neither a Hero or Villain unless recruited, until then you may choose to assist the heroes or villains as you see fit. You deal with outlaws and ruffians without mercy as instructed by your superiors. If recruited you will endeavour for your side to win.Hanged Man – The King, A Hero, Mason with The Queen.You are an old but kind man, slowly becoming senile, deaf, and difficult to understand… however, you are still King of Florin. Due to your ailing health, you’ve relinquished all but a few of the ruling duties to your son Prince Humperdinck, who has let the power go to his head and now looks to your neighbouring countries with greedy eyes. You have a soft spot in your heart for Buttercup because she once kissed you. Together with The Queen, you form a mason pair and may communicate outside the game thread.CuriousParker – removed from the game upon request replaced by Jesse.TMunz - A Florin peasant, a Hero.One of Florin’s underclass, you’re nothing special (except in that trite “but everyone’s special” kinda way) and you’re none too clean, but you love your country and royal weddings. And food. Of any kind. You’re really not fussy. You have no powers in this game. Machiabelly - Westley, a Hero Investigator of sorts.You are a brave man who left Buttercup to seek your fortune. Later reportedly murdered by the Dread Pirate Roberts, you in fact spent the time away learning everything the world could teach you, with the sole focus of returning to your beloved. Upon your return, you are disguised as the Man in Black, and intent on rescuing Buttercup from the clutches of Prince Humperdinck and any other threat. Because you are only searching for your true love Princess Buttercup, you may enquire of 1 player each night; "Is this my beloved Buttercup?" You will receive one of the following responses: Yes, No or No Result. If/when you do find her you will become a mason pair. Beware! Prince Humperdinck’s henchman searches for you, should he find you Humperdinck would have you tortured, at which time he will ask you(via the game mods) 3 questions, which you must answer truthfully. Find Buttercup fast, there is strength in numbers... Lisin - Count Rugen, a Villain Protector.Prince Humperdinck's right-hand man, you are a sadist and wannabe author, torture and pain being your special area of study. In fact, you have designed a diabolical machine to help you in your quest to learn everything there is to know about the maximum amount of pain a person can bear, as you believe these findings will be your legacy. Your biggest mistake in life was to murder Inigo Montoya's father... it has lead to his life long crusade to seek you out and make you more than a little bit dead. It’s not easy for you to hide your identity, as you are a unique man who has 6 fingers on his right hand.As a Protector, you must choose a different player to protect each night. If Westley is handed over to you, you will torture him; you will be able to ask him 3 questions (via the game mods), which he must answer truthfully, he then automatically becomes your team's nightkill that night. MarkHB - Vizzini, a Villain Investigator.Owing to your brilliance, there is no doubt in your mind that you are the world’s #1 criminal genius. Being short of stature and also of temper due to your Sicilian blood, you sometimes misuse words in frustration if your plans are thwarted. A smug, ruthless man, you cannot refuse a battle of wits, even to the death, as you know you shall always win.As an investigator, each night you may investigate one player in the game by PM'ing the mods. Should you find Westley you will hand him over to Prince Humperdinck for questioning. You will get results back in the form of Name & alignment or No Result. Dougal - Valerie, a Hero.Although professed to be one by your husband Miracle Max, you are in fact, not a witch. You merely impersonate one; because all Miracle Men must have a witch assistant.

You know the greatest gift in life is to possess true love. You are a vanilla hero, however, IF certain pre-defined conditions are met, you have a dormant power that will be activated.caprice - The Queen, A Hero, Mason with The King.You are The Queen, a Hero and mason with The King. As the kind but elderly queen of Florin and Humperdinck's stepmother you have no real power in the land, and are content to while away your days with other noblewomen in ladylike pursuits such as sewing, flower arranging and gossiping. Together with Hanged Man, The King, you form a mason pair and may communicate outside the thread.The Crazed Spruce - Prince Humperdinck, Head Villain.The heir to the Florinese throne. You are an insecure and self-absorbed man who thinks of nothing other than pursuing your own interests. War and tracking/hunting animals are your primary focus, and you are good at it.

You will receive one of the following responses: Yes, No or No Result. If/when you do find him, you may use your 1 kill vigilante power to kill him that night.

When you smell blood you attack; you are a vicious, slimy presence dwelling in the Fireswamp, and make survival almost impossible for anyone who foolishly wanders in.As a Serial Killer, on each even numbered night you may choose 1 player to kill. You may only choose to kill from those players who have not posted at all in the preceding day, if everyone posts, then you will be able to choose from all players. Please contact us if you are unsure who your potential victims are on any night that your urge to kill is eligible. Because you have this restriction upon you, you will be immune from all investigations for the first 3 nights. You will only win when all other players are dead. OinkyBoinky - the Grandson, and thanks to some mighty plot armour, a hard to kill Hero, namely a 2-Kill Investigator. You are a young boy who would rather play video games than suffer the indignity of a visit with your grandfather who always pinches your cheek, which you hate. However, you were faced with just such a situation when you became ill one day and your grandfather offered to read you his favourite book. Your life was changed forever. You may PM the mods each night for the name and alignment of any player. You will receive one of the following responses: Name & Alignment or No Result.

Lady Calypso - You are the Albino, a Villain & 'Brown Goo'.You are a strange and silent Igor type character who takes care of Prince Humperdinck's Zoo of Death located in The Pit Of Despair, primarily as a lackey to Count Rugen. One of your main duties is to nurse injured prisoners back to health so that Count Rugen can inflict pain on them with his dastardly torture machine once they are recovered. Being Brown Goo means you will steal the vote of anyone who targets you, either by being the person to start an unsuccessful lynch on you or via any night actions, for the next game day. However, this does not protect you against any night kill. Your team will win only when all who stand against you are dead. Forever Living Happily Ever After:Jesse - You are the Grandfather, a Hero Roleblocker.The teller of our tale, you are a man that cares very much about family and tradition ... and you would like to see that tradition carried on for future generations. When your grandson falls ill and is bedridden you take the opportunity to share with him a magical tale, proclaiming that it is your favourite book; the same one that your own father read to you when you were ten and in bed with pneumonia. As a Roleblocker, you must choose one player each Night to block from performing his or her night actions; you may not choose the same person on 2 consecutive nights. SVNBob - You are Princess Buttercup, a Hero Investigator of sorts & Beloved Princess.You began life as a common girl who also happens to be bold, passionate, and uncommonly beautiful. Parted from your true love Westley the farm boy, whom you believe captured and killed by The Dread Pirate Roberts, you move complacently through your days, certain that you will never feel passion for anything or anyone again, you merely go through the motions of the routines and rituals involved in becoming queen to Prince Humperdinck. As a Beloved Princess should you be lynched & subsequently die, town will suffer greatly for it; forfeiting a whole Day and going straight to the following Night. You may not reveal this to anyone but you are permitted to hint at dire consequences. Because you are only searching for your true love Westley, you may enquire of 1 player each night; "Is this my beloved Westley?" You will receive one of the following responses: Yes, No or No Result. Should you find Westley, you will become a mason pair, at which time you must then inform Westley he is now your bodyguard, dying in your place should you be targeted for a lynch or a nightkill. Beware! Prince Humperdinck's henchman also searches for Westley, therefore, it behooves you to find him sooner rather than later.Athena - You are Miracle Max, a Hero Protector/Doctor.You are married to -!notAwitch - Valerie. Once the king's leading miracle man, you now harbour a long standing grudge toward the King’s stinking son; Prince Humperdinck for firing you which shattered your self-confidence. You have a small but vital part in our story, as without you, the story would have a completely different ending. Even though your initial motivation is revenge against the pus filled Humperdinck, ultimately you end up discovering the real power of true love.Each night, you must choose a different player to protect from being lynched the next day; you may choose yourself only once. If you are still alive the first time Westley should die, whether by lynching or nightkill, you will automatically revive him as he will only be 'mostly' dead.Drogo - You are Fezzik, a Hero Protector.The strongest man alive. You were jobless, friendless, helpless and hopeless in Greenland when Vizzini found and recruited you. Although excellent at following instructions, you’re very bad at remembering them, so you love using rhymes to keep Vizzini's rules straight. You have a good heart and your most admirable quality is that you don't like to fight dirty, but you have no qualms subverting the law. You are fretful, fair, loyal, and an excellent follower, because your only drive in life is not to be left alone. As a Protector, you must choose a different player to protect each night. If you rhyme 3 times throughout the day, you earn a Holocaust Cloak to wear for the night, this means you gain the ability to also either protect yourself, or any additional player of your choice each time you succeed in donning the cloak.Please PM us proof of your rhyming and we will bestow the cloak upon you. Aquarian1 - You are the "Impwessive Clewgyman", a Hero.You are the chuwch official who pwesides over the wedding cewemony of Pwince Humpewdinck and Buttewcup.

You wanted the other Heroes to do it in a DL. I know you knew she was me, and I'm sure ya'll suspected Oinky was right about what my power was. BTW, good thinking Oinky on figuring out my power. As you all can see now, I wasn't allowed to say anything about it; only that there would be consequences if I was DL'd. And when my name came up on Day 1...well, I had to say something. And if my name had come up again, I would have said something about Oinky's "guess." It is so hot here. Okay, it's probably still hotter for HM and Bob... One advantage to my schedule: I get home before it starts to heat up, and stay home until it's cooled off. But yeah, it's been triple digits recently. Although the rain has been helping. 3 Link to comment

I then found Mad Max followed by Rugen, Vizzini, Humperdink, Grandpa and the Albino. Being half dead, I was amazed everyday to still be alive and able to use the investigations. 1 Link to comment
TJtrack99 August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 INIGO! I imagine this is like the Parks and Rec finale, where Leslie is like "I couldn't be happier than I am right now" and then Ann is there and Leslie shoves everyone out of the way to go see and hug her.

I then found Mad Max followed by Rugen, Vizzini, Humperdink, Grandpa and the Albino. Being half dead, I was amazed everyday to still be alive and able to use the investigations. I alternated between protecting you two every night. Figured out Bob's character early when I protected him and Buttercup was saved from the shrieking eels. :) 1 Link to comment
Hanged Man August 24, 2015 Share August 24, 2015 So what's the next "Kill HM As Fast As Possible" scenario? Has there been a decision? 1 Link to comment

Hanged Man August 24, 2015 Share August 24, 2015 Not too long ago, when I realized that whatever my expectations for the Rangers were the Rangers would do the opposite just to piss me off and be contrary, I completely gave up hope and optimism for their season. They will tease but fall short and fail. I am certain of this. Plus, even if the Rangers do get to the Playoffs, they don't have a prayer against Kansas City, Toronto or Houston, and certainly couldn't beat the Cardinals or the Dodgers in the World Series. Nope, they cannot. Link to comment

Jesse August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I alternated between protecting you two every night. Figured out Bob's character early when I protected him and Buttercup was saved from the shrieking eels. :) You know, that hadn't really occurred to me -- when I have two people I know I want to use a power on, to just alternate! I'm not sure I've been in that position, but it's good to think about for the future! PS: Did anyone notice how many times I said I was "reading the story"? :) 3 Link to comment

Drogo August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 The great thing about TPB and its small character list is that once OB cleared Jesse, there was only one person left she could be. :) 2 Link to comment
BizBuzz August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 Ok ... here we go ... I have to say thanks to all for playing and it was fun sitting on the other side of the fence and watching how a game unfolds. I got to learn a lot about the game itself and it was fun being able to converse with all of you behind the scenes. SS wrote all the stories ... and I think she did amazing with what we had to work with. Working with much beloved movie got to be a little hairy when you had to kill someone off, but I think she handled everything with grace and lots of out of the box thinking.
