Suicide Squad Mafia, Game Over: Number the Dead
« on: June 30, 2008, 08:20:38 PM »
It's a rough life, being a supporting character in a colorful multiverse. Oh sure, your big-name superheroes might get killed off once in a while, but they can rest assured that the wise and powerful lords of all creation will resurrect them just in time to save the day during a crucial crossover event. But for the throwaway villains and the powerless civilian cast? Anything can happen. For a few issues you might be just fine, going about your life as though it was perfectly normal for men in bright tights to run around on the rooftops fighting crime every night--and then, before you know it, some jerkass named Doctor Sick von Evil is stacking you in the hero's refridgerator just to piss him off. Congratulations, you were created to be fodder for a Shocking Plot Twist and now your job is done. Yes, it's a rough life being a minnor character in the comics...

~

The time? 199X.

The place? Belle Reve maximum security prison in Louisiana.

The event? This year's bloated, DC-wide, multiseries crossover CRISIS. Omens and portents are everywhere, natural disasters wrack the Earth, heroes and former archenemies band together to stem the tide of chaos, because THE WORLD IS AT STAKE. And all the while, the members of the Suicide Squad, a government-funded program attempting to rehabilitate super-powered criminals by using them to further national interests (supervised by a group of goody-two-shoes heroes, of course), sit on the sidelines. A rising ocean leaves them stranded in their headquarters, alone with their private vendettas.

The team maintains an uneasy peace at the best of times. In a situation like this? It's a POWDER KEG just waiting for someone to strike a match...so it can EXPLODE. And soon enough, as if on cue, an unknown party starts eliminating the team members, one by one...


NOTE: This scenario reflects no particular event in the comics. Characters who never met each other in the series are thrown together willy-nilly here. I have endeavored to make metagaming highly unproductive and avoid giving an advantage to people more familiar with the source material. In other words, if you attempt to infer someone's alignment based on a character name or roleclaim, you do so at your own risk.

ALSO NOTE: Despite the signup thread projecting a scenario in which the scum were the heroes, I have opted not to go with that angle because it's just too obvious. Again, see the above note. Character name cannot be taken as an indicator of alignment one way or the other.

ALSO ALSO NOTE: Brick is red.

##Vote: Strago

An actor, so he's definitely likely to be pulling strings somewhere and playing us.  Just look at Team America!  Actors are powerful!  Also, he's not coming to DL Con, so...yeah.  Has to be one of us scum.

Also, hi everyone!  Welcome to the game.  I think we should be able to PM people outside of the game, any alignment.  What say you, mod?  It would be just like Touhou!

Referencing MotK game. NEEDS NO FURTHER EXPLANATION.

##Vote Ciato

For pointing out my failings as a DL-er in the sign-up thread.  ;) 

But really, talking outside of the game in PM, OK?  Way to buck the rules.  Would be fun, don't get me wrong.  But the Word of Mod is law, you know.  (of course, we're all villains, so what do we really think about that, anyway...)

##Vote: Elfboy

Gee guys, such violence jumping in! Talking outside the game though, I guess it might be fun, but of course, wouldn't want to ruffle any feathers... Personally, I think the Elf is suspicious, mostly, because he has Elf in his name~ AND I HATE ELVES

We affectionately call him Dread Thomas, actually.

This may or may not make an ounce of difference.

Oh yeah, we should be able to edit posts too.  Seriously, that would be good - then if we make mistakes, we can cover them, and not have so many posts to read through!  Easier for people to lurk!  That can't POSSIBLY be bad!

Also, Ashdla...talking about not being a fan of violence and then...saying you HATE elves and are voting based on that?  Mmm...so much irony!  I think that's a bit...oh....hippoish. 

...wait, hypocritical?  Eh, hippoish sounds better.

No problem! You know me, always happy to help you kill someone that isn't me!

I think we need a thread for Dead People, too, so we can talk there and the living can use that as a pool of information.

We also should play hangman here to distract from the actual game.

Let's all roleclaim! 

Otherwise, I think I do agree with voting the obviously scummy people. 

##Vote: Carthrat

Carth is (nearly) always scum.  Clearly the definite person to go after. 

There may be a Canadian conspiracy here, but I'd be more suspicious of those damn Aussies.

Current votecount:

Ashdla (0): Deltaflyer2k8
Bardiche (1): Deltaflyer2k8
Carthrat (1): Jo'ou Ranbu
Ciato (1): QuietRain
Deltaflyer2k8 (1): Shale
Elfboy (1): Ashdla
EvilTom (1): Bardiche
Excal (1): Ciato
Laggy (1): AndrewRogue
OblivionKnight (1): Laggy
Strago (1): OblivionKnight

OK's last vote was not counted because he failed to unvote Strago.

Deltaflyer2k8: The usual voting format here is ##Vote and ##Unvote (this one being for when you want to remove a vote). Please use this format from now on, as the #'s make votes and unvotes easier for the mods to spot. (I should've specified this in the opening post and will edit it in now). In case you were wondering, names bolded in the votecount above are active votes; names in italics are votes people have cast and subsequently removed.

With seventeen alive, it takes nine to lynch.

What the...the game started while I was busy playing MMBN3?  This is madness! Why was I not informed of such...

Do I really need to explain why at this point?  If you're asking for a logic explanation from me, you guys have clearly been driven to a point of madness that is beyond repair!

My my my... vote for the one with the rat in his name you say?

All this talk of conspiracy makes my stomach turn! Though, I suppose there is some sort of a case for your opinion, OblivionKnight. However, I will wait for the Elf to defend himself before making any assumptions. You know what happens when you assume...

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's day one! My favourite part of the game! It's time to make up a whole bunch of bullshit, pretend it's legitimate, and then act all surprised when people vote for me! Along the way at least two people will say 'let's vote for lurkers' despite the game only having lasted like five minutes, at least one experienced player will spontaneously forget how to play and need reminding, and someone will roleclaim doctor like a moron so he can 'attract scum away from the cop', who will turn out to be paranoid anyway and only investigate himself because he keeps forgetting what side he's on.

At least Ciato actually voted before hell froze over, which means I have hopes that this game will develop in a different fashion than the usual. On the other hand, for the 412nd game in a row, we have someone voting Dread Thomas because he has 'evil' in his name.

What a retard!

Did he not read the fluff?  We're villians, you numbskull! Evilness is a sign of trustworthiness! Everyone should vote for Bardiche immediately, he is clearly scum (which is alignment-neutral, just so we are clear.)

I can't actually vote because Cid is a jerk and likes giving out ironic roles, so I'll have you all do it for me. Kill Bardiche! DO IT NOW
WHAT BENEFITS CAN ONE GET FROM SCIENTOLOGY?
