Damn. Good job shadow. I really don't know how to play these situatioms and I just tried to help.you as much as I could. I'm proud that I managed to change your mind.
Edit: can we get a spec chat?
Also question to Cantrip: how many of these king names did you have in stock?
Oh, I didn't have to worry about running out. I could've gone with famous people (BB King, Billie Jean King, Stephen King, MLK Jr) or game pieces (Chess King, Checker King, the King in draughts) or...well, really it's Kings all the way down.
King Shadow sat upon his throne, tossing question after question at the two lesser kings in front of him. One of them was a traitor to the crown. One of them a loyal subject and colleague. Finally, without much fanfare, King Shadow announced that he had made a decision. He pulled his sword from its scabbard, and, deliberately turning his back on vezokpiraka, plunged the blade through D_V's chest. Even in that decisive moment, King Shadow felt a flicker of doubt. Had he made the right choice?
D_V was King Nebuchadnezzar II Budweiser, the King of Beers Red King Crab
King Shadow, aka shadowlancer, aka Amir Timur, aka Tamerlane the Sacramento Kings King Cobra and vezokpiraka, aka King Louis XIV of France The King of Queens King Vulture have proven to both be King Solomons (Solomen?) and survived to endgame. Town have won.
King Shadow slithered off his throne and approached the crab known as D_V and the vulture known as vezokpiraka. "Ssssssssay, ssssince you've both proven ssssneaky and sssslimy, perhaps each of you could sssshow me postssss that demonssssstrate your ssssinnissster sidessss but demonsssstrate how they were town? No actually, I jusssst think D_V'sssss sssssscum."
Vezok ruffled his feathers in anticipation of a feeding frenzy.
"Sssslow your roll, King Snake," said D_V. "Just because I'm a little crabby doesn't mean I'm rotten underneath this carapace!"
But it was too late. The cobra's fangs sliced through D_V's shell and delivered a fatal amount of venom.
Let there be great mourning throughout the land, as King Bur, aka King Suleiman, aka the Burger King, aka King Penguin was assassinated last night in his royal bedchambers! The perpetrator is still at large, but eyewitnesses describe him as being, *quote* a king something of some sort *end quote*. The local squire has reached out to all peasantry of the land asking those with information to come forward so as to hasten the apprehension of said perp.
In other news, the king is dead, long live King Shadow!
(shadowlancerx is now confirmed town; however, in a terrible twist of Murphonic irony, he still doesn't get two votes because there are only three players left in the game.)
It's now Day 3. With 3 alive, it takes 2 votes to lynch!
We could double lynch today too cantrip so I don't think that solves the problem.
One of these players is dangerously close to getting himself a modkill for being an obnoxious smarty-pants; which one is it?
No.
Nope.
Not this one, either.
Just kidding; it's D_V.
Rest assured that any attempts to end the game in a way that doesn't involve an equitable chance for either team will be frustrated with extreme prejudice.
Kevin James' character in King of Queens, Doug Heffernan, makes appearances in three other '90's sitcoms. Which three?
Yes, yes, and...yes. How is it that Becker ran for six seasons and stars Ted Danson and I've never even heard of it???
Not fresh, not improved, and not Barr-ed.
Gah, quit with the vampires already!
Ffffffffffffffff....nope!

Announcement:
As the concept of the King voting both unconfirmed players in a final 3 situation to ensure a town win goes against the spirit of the game, if the game gets to a point where there are only 3 players, the King will lose his double vote. Sorry, King!
What mythical monster may have been inspired by King Kong, with no reported sightings prior to 1933, but the first one being within six months after the film's release?
Nah, this guy's reportedly been around for longer than that.
Ha, these guys date back to at least the 14th century.
Dude, this is the same as Bigfoot!
These suckers are 18th century concepts. And there aren't any vampires in King Kong!
Hmm, the answer has to be around here somewhere...
Answer: The Lock Ness Monster. Really hard to spot, wasn't she? Yes, Ol' Nessie may have been inspired by the diplodocus that attacks searchers on a raft. Votecount 2.2
What two animal sounds were used to create King Kong's roar in the original 1933 production? For all you phonophiles, here's a compilation of all the roars from the major Kong productions; the first two are the ones you're trying to pin down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36pC9ugLUC4.
Ooooh, close, but no Macaw!
Hmm, that would bee bearzzare.
What? That's just gibberish!
Yup, this one. It was a combination of tiger and lion roars, but played in reverse at slow speed.
Lol, did you come here after clicking on Tiger and Macaw? Sucker.

Start of Day 2: That's No Mummy; It's a Space...Monkey?
With a roar of propellers, the squadron of fighter planes banked in the crisp dawn air and wheeled around, realigning their sights on the massive gorilla that had terrorized New York City all night and now clung to the top of the Empire State building. Once again, ranges were met, triggers were squeezed, and hundreds of bullets sliced through the air to land with sickening thuds in the already pulpy hide of the great beast. The last fighter pilot chanced a few extra seconds of staying on target and paid for that choice with his life, as a massive hand swung up and clipped the right wing of the Curtiss Helldiver, sending it into a nosedive destined to end in splattery death.
On the next pass, however, it was the great ape that gave up the ghost, performing both song and dive in the manner of a swan.

King Kong is a giant movie monster, resembling an enormous gorilla, that has appeared in various media since 1933. The character first appeared in the 1933 film King Kong from RKO Pictures, which received universal acclaim upon its initial release and re-releases. King Kong has become one of the world's most famous movie icons, having inspired a number of sequels, remakes, spin-offs, imitators, parodies, cartoons, books, comics, video games, theme park rides, and a stage play. His role in the different narratives varies, ranging from a rampaging monster to a tragic antihero.

Alexander the Great's father was King Philip II, but his mother, Olympias, claimed that it was not Philip who sired him, but instead was:
Nope.
Yes. His mother may have been involved in a cult that practiced snake-handling. One night Philip discovered a great snake in their bed with Olympias, who claimed the snake was Zeus-Ammon. Alexander frequently referred to Zeus-Ammon as his true father.
No, that's just silly. Surely they didn't believe in that sort of thing back then!
Not this one, either.

What monarch is sometimes referred to as "the first king of all England"?
Ecgberht of Wessex made Wessex such a powerful kingdom that England was eventually unified around it. He was proclaimed "Bretwalda" or sole ruler of Britain in 829 and is sometimes referred to as "the first king of all England".
Oh, I didn't have to worry about running out. I could've gone with famous people (BB King, Billie Jean King, Stephen King, MLK Jr) or game pieces (Chess King, Checker King, the King in draughts) or...well, really it's Kings all the way down.
