Turn 4: Failure in the Senate

“Ladies and Gentleman of the Senate! If I may have your attention please?” Slowly, the Noise in the Senate hall quieted as senators took their seats and waited for Senator Alron to begin.

“I’m sure by now you’ve all heard of my deeds. I personally slew one of the corrupt senators who murdered our former governor, leaving us leaderless when we need a leader more than ever. We need a capable leader, and I’m willing to be him. Gentlemen, Ladies, Ritt Momney, I need your votes for the Governorship!’

“Hey, why don’t I count as a Gentleman?”

“What was that?”

“You said my name separately, after gentleman, implying I wasn’t one!”

“Senator Momney, please, come forward where we can all hear you.”

The crowd watched as Ritt Momney made his way down the aisle to the Governor’s desk, where Alron stood. “So, why don’t I count as a gentleman Alron?”

Alron smirked, then turned back to the senators. “Gentleman, Ladies, all of you know of the impeccable character of Senator Oromis, who was unfortunately arrested. He has found irrefutable proof, that this man, Senator Momney, is one of Chantelle’s allies against Machmuller! He assisted in the poisoning of our beloved governor in an attempt to hide his own wrongdoing! Great people of the Senate, I ask you, What should be done with this man?!”

“What. No, I’m not corrupt.”

His voice wasn’t heard over the yells of the rest of the senate. “Throw him behind bars!” “Give him what Chantelle got!” Get rid of him!”

“Constable-General Yosef!” Alron called out over the yells of the crowd. “You can hear the will of the senate, can you not? Take this man to prison, and let him rot ‘till he’s forgot!”

“You guys seriously think I’m corrupt? That’s the most hilarious thing I've heard since Trump got elected senator.” Momney folded his arms and smirked. “But I’ll play along. The cells are probably safer than out here.”

A group of constables, lead by the general, approached the desk. “Senator Momney, you are under arrest for crimes against the city of—”

“Wait sir!” Constable Claincy said. “I was with Senator Momney before the meeting. We’re old friends. He never had a chance to murder Machmuller.”

Yosef frowned, then turned back to Momney. “Is that true?”

‘Indeed sir, but I still want to be arrested.”

“Alright, Claincy, escort him to the cells. I guess he’s innocent of the crime. Carry on Senators.” The Constables walked out of the room with Senator Momney, leaving behind a considerably deflated Alron.

“Oh, well, I guess he’s not a murderer.” He waved his hands in front of him, as if trying to clear the scene away. “But that doesn’t matter, I still killed a corrupt senator, and deserve to be made governor for it. Who’s with me?”

Several hands shot into the air, and Alron grinned as he began to count. “One, two, three, four, uh, anymore?” Another hand slowly raised itself. “There’s five! Um. . . What about the rest of you?” He looked around the hall, attempting to make eye contact, but everyone was looking away uncomfortably.

“Well, I see. I will, well. This hasn’t gone very well.”

[Mailliw73]

What? StrawMan told us he was corrupt. I don't understand anymore...

[Alvron]

Just wait.  Joe is a massive troll and it's April fools day so....

 

Otherwise, I'm as confused as you.

[Master Elodin]

Yeah... well at least I'm alive!

[DeathClutch19]

Sorry I could not contribute last turn, I was drugged

[Wonko the Sane]

It could have something do with the secret rules...? I have no clue. Here's hoping it's just a joke.

I didn't do a count -- Alvron, are you Governor yet, or not?

Edited April 2, 2016 by Wonko the Sane

[Master Elodin]

Did someone protect me?

[Alvron]

Alvron, are you Governor yet, or not?

I don't know yet.  By my count I should be but am waiting on confirmation from Joe.

[A Joe in the Bush]

Just wait.  Joe is a massive troll and it's April fools day so....

 

Otherwise, I'm as confused as you.

NO.

 

I told you guys, I will not do an april fool's joke.

 

Hellscythe is a Senator!

 

Alvron got 5 votes for governor. (that will be revelaed in the writeup, so I'm okay with stating it here to avoid confusion.)

 

No secret Rules were used to make either of those results happen.

[Firemuffin42]

Sorrry I've been inactive. I've had a lot of stuff, like loss of power and life stuff. Also, trying to get used to the 24 hour cycles, I've only played a long game before so it's a bit of an adjustment. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm here, I'm alive and that I'll start actualy contributing.

Yay! i was going to have to kill you tomorrow.

 

All PM's have been sent out.

 

I can't repeat this enough. All results are accurate. I did Not perform any april Fool's prank.

[Master Elodin]

I guess that implicates Mailliw then.

[Mailliw73]

I guess that implicates Mailliw then.

Actually, unless Aman, DC, Phatt, and I are all evil, no it doesn't.

[DeathClutch19]

I guess that implicates Mailliw then.

Why?

[Alvron]

Because they all talked to Strawman and it was he that told everyone Hellscythe was Corrupt.

[Master Elodin]

Oh. Sorry Mailliw.

[Mark IV]

Strawman might have been trolling us.

Other than that, I see no other explanation yet.

[TheMightyLopen]

Did someone protect me?

 

If you got a Medkit, then yeah, someone did. Although...Joe, if someone is attacked with a Dagger and gets protected, what happens to the Medkit? It might be that it disappears, so if you just got a Dagger, then I guess that would mean you were protected, since, obviously, you didn't die!

 

Which brings me to another question. Joe, are blocked attacks not stated in the write-up? Because there's supposedly been 1 before(Hellscythe attacking DeathClutch).

 

Here's the Governor votes from last Cycle. Alv(11): Elodin, Kynedath, Mailliw, phattemer, Bugsby, Aman, Wonko, Lopen, Alvron, Hellscythe, Mark. Since there's 19 players left, I'm assuming you'd need 10 to actually become Governor? But Joe just said Alv only got 5 votes. So, there's bribery afoot(I'm assuming by the Corrupt). If the Corrupt are gonna keep spending their money to keep Alv from being Governor, that's fine with me. Alvron

 

Has anyone heard back from Strawman about what the heck just happened with Hellscythe? This doesn't make any sense. phatt, you said he confirmed that he'd scanned Hellscythe as Corrupt?

[A Joe in the Bush]

Joe, if someone is attacked with a Dagger and gets protected, what happens to the Medkit? Joe, are blocked attacks not stated in the write-up?

Blocked attacks aren't outright stated in the writeup, but will be in there. In this case, read the tags. There was a blocked attack.

 

For the first question, the Medkit is not expended. I'm thinking of changing that if it proves too easy to block kills and makes the game drag on. If I do change it, I will warn you guys. (There are currently more Medkits in the game than Daggers.)

 

Also, If you get attacked, I will tell you. you can choose to identify yourself or not.

[Amanuensis]

Dyson Trump.

 

DC was the first one to contact Strawman, as far as I'm aware. He later sent me a message to inform me that Strawman scanned Hellscythe as Corrupt, and of course I instantly confirmed. Knowing that the scan was redirected or interfered with implies to me that DC was the culprit or at least in cahoots with them. A bit convenient that he was the only player who thought to contact the arrested Senator, who happened to be bearing a false scan. Why did you pass the info to me anyway?

[Bugsy]

Just in case my vote was changed, Alvron. I'll try and get on to vote for who I think is corrupt, but I can't guarantee it, since I'll be pretty busy today

Edit: I somehow gained a bag of boxing last round, so I'm now assuming my vote was changed. Joe, any chance you can tell us how votes currently stand for Governor?

StrawMan has now told me that he was testing to see who I'd trust. I'm not sure if he means me or everyone he told, but regardless, I don't understand his plan whatsoever. He said he had no idea if HS was actually evil. So im utterly confused by that.

[STINK]

Sounds like we need to send Strawman to the Crockery instead of the cells...
