Thirty-five years ago, eight heroes rose. Two of earth, two of air, two of sea, and two of fire.
Together they fought and defeated Ragnor, preventing a catastrophic apocalypse.
For those thirty-five years, peace has reigned from the very heights of the twin Raven cities, to the very depths of the Otter seas.
But now, a new threat has risen.
THE VICEROY is sitting at his desk, idly watching AGENT DAWKINS, the resident bunny, jump around while eating the clover in the small field that makes up the VICEROY’S OFFICE in the center of the ORRERY.
The ORRERY’s original purpose was defeating Ragnor. And so after Ragnor’s defeat, the rotating platforms were spun down. But THE VICEROY, now quite elderly, remained.
He turns back to the CHESSBOARD on his desk. He moves a piece.
Far away in distant HELVETICA, YOURS TRULY sits pondering over the READOUTS he printed off a few hours early.
As the only resident of HELVETICA, he never powered down the heavy duty machinery inside. While he also looks elderly and frail due to his WHEELCHAIR, he also doesn’t appear to have aged much.
A piece moves on a CHESSBOARD near him. He glances at it, and frowns.
Another piece moves.
His eyebrows raise, and he quickly wheels to a large LEVER. YOURS TRULY pulls it, disappearing.
The shrill whistle of the NAUGHTILUS sounds. It is leaving TOWN PORT on a voyage to the VICTORY SEAS.
There are a NUMBER OF PASSENGERS aboard the NAUTILUS
LIST OF THE ALIVE:
1. Vaimes
2. tomsloger
3. Iso
4. Killjoy (r. Ophidia)

When NINE of the TWELVE have fully AWOKEN, the GAME will BEGIN.
The NAUTILUS leaves PORT. But the TWELVE who BOARDED aren't the TWELVE who now walk out upon the DECK. Everyone has DIFFERENT MEMORIES. But you all KNOW the TRUTH: There are TRAITORS among you.
The NAUTILUS has headed towards its FIRST DESTINATION: The OREGANO HILLS. It will arrive at NIGHTFALL - By that TIME, you expect ONE of you will not DISEMBARK.
With TWELVE alive, it takes SEVEN to LYNCH. You may now POST.
However, I think that you and I could get off on a considerably better foot if we started voting the same person; in particular, the only person who deserves death before they actually start posting. Are you game?
And even better, I notice that Tammy is your mentor!
You should ask her what the best opening is to this game and if she says anything other than "vote Regfan" then I highly suggest that you vote him anyways because it probably means that you two rolled scum together.

Vote: Regfan
I dunno. What's in it for me if as you say he's hilarious when mislynched? He needs to start posting to be entertaining!
@xequalsy I saw you in the DLP obs chat for the game which must not be spoken of - do you play over there, or were you just watching? I don't recognize your name.
I haven't played elsewhere for 7-8 years no. You can probably go dig up some of my very old games from xkcd but that was a long time ago. Not sure how useful they would be to anyone now.
Fair enough, I was just curious. I'll give your DLP stuff a skim sometime in this day.
Either way, cool to actually be playing with you instead of near missing for once.
I would appreciate it if you stopped trying to pocket xequal; that was my initial strategy for the game, and it really doesn't make me happy to see others moving in on my turf.

Well of course; it's not like we'd be able to get him mislynched immediately as entertaining as it would be. Rome wasn't built in a day and this Regfan mislynch isn't going to come from nothing. It's going to take hard work and a lot of dedication and unfortunately much more reading and listening than I would like.

Loool. What can I say? My pockets are just so empty, I need to put someone in there. It's like some weird mafia inverse of how I handle money.
Muscling into your territory was just unfortunate collateral damage.

Good post. In honor of fallen comrade Tammy, you are a townread.
Nacho asked me what kind of answer I was expecting. And the answer to that is an explanation that doesn't have to be dragged out of you, to see what you're willing answer on your own, without me having to hold your hand. I'm very curious as to what finally inspired you to type like a grownup and not clown around. Frankly, it's weirding me out, and it makes me wonder why Nacho is completely ignoring it.
And I'm also curious as to why you expect me to answer your questions when you don't even acknowlesge mine. I don't ask them for kicks.
You asking me things about Nacho that kind of imply you /think/ I should be suspicious of him when I'm already voting for him also kind of pinged negatively. Can't really explain it, and it probably doesn't mean anything right now.
I want Ophidia's reasons for highlighting me in particular out of a category containing three other people (those he's familiar with). Because if he's going to vote for a familiar face, why mine specifically? What separates me from tom and Iso in his mind? Is what I'm looking for.
I'm also kind of already disappointed in this game. I was expecting a more fun RVS, but all the cool people have yet to show up.
Anything else you want me to do for you that you aren't willing to do in return?
I thought the best way to answer your questions was to keep making it apparent what I am doing.
Have you figured it out yet?
If not, I'm sure you will soon.
Let's talk about Nacho though.
Where did I imply you should be suspicious?
I think he's probably town.

Also, hi everyone! Looking forward to playing with all of you.
Wheat Grinder, I just noticed that you have a touhou profile picture. Nice.
Lots of new faces here. I am currently on Mobile, so I will vote later.
Vote: Pozzai
1) How MANY PAGES will it take the TOWN to REALIZE THAT REGFAN is ENTERTAINING WHEN MISLYNCHED and LOL LYNCH HIM?
2) What HORRIBLE and GAME COMPROMISING EVENT will ruin the GAME to prevent NEWCOMB and NACHOMAMMA8 from PLAYING A FULL GAME TOGETHER?
3) How quickly will I BE MISLYNCHED for my EXCESSIVE and SLIGHTLY OFFPUTTING USE of CAPITALS???
ALL THESE, and MUCH MUCH MORE IN...
JURASSIC PARK ADVENTURE 2 MAFIA: DELUXE!
Hi! I'm looking forward to playing with you too!

Do you play much elsewhere, or are the DLP games most of your prior experience?

Typhon, let's not be blockheads this game, yeah?
Typh.
Hey, Typh.
Are you scum?
(You got it boss)
Rhand is now MENTORING Ophidia.
The Voxx thing works better if I don't know the background.
But nah. You can tell by the way I'm constantly f5ing the thread like we don't have literally unlimited deadlines in this game.
What do you think of Nacho's immediate abandonment of the capitalization gimmick?
This will be my last fluffpost, except maybe to exchange a meme or two with Newcomb.
I'm not really sure there's any answer to your question other than a flat "yes"; were you expecting something different?
Good post. In honor of fallen comrade Tammy, you are a townread.
Delphi, why didn't you say hi to me?
Those are scum eyes
You are the only one I know except for tom and Iso.
Hey, Vaimes.
Why does that particular RVS vote require justification?
Nacho asked me what kind of answer I was expecting. And the answer to that is an explanation that doesn't have to be dragged out of you, to see what you're willing answer on your own, without me having to hold your hand. I'm very curious as to what finally inspired you to type like a grownup and not clown around. Frankly, it's weirding me out, and it makes me wonder why Nacho is completely ignoring it.

It looked like you were highlighting a discrepancy in Nacho's posting, which I took to mean you found it scummy.
