Nice Job Fixing It, Villain - day 3

[ringo]

Or we could launch a joint attack on the Death Summon with Ego's Odd Jobs

hell, we could bring Infidel's Elites into that if we dared

[38thdoe]

Death summon?

[ringo]

Errr... Death Summoner. If Egos reveals the name of the person they seered to Savant, anyway.

[ringo]

MAXFROST SAYS
As far as I can tell we can both win without killing each other off. My group nabbed one of our targets last night, and it wasn't SLym. I did discover something about a Dragon last night though. Teammate of yours?

RINGO SAYS

I have The Dragon on my team, yes

any other kind of Dragon is currently unknown to me, but given naming conventions might still be part of Eastern Vestigial

MAXFROST SAYS

38thdoe is safe then. I will mention that we targetted him day 1, but I believe our kill hit stever777 day 1 instead. Basically, we didn't kill him because something negated it, and we didn't feel like trying twice, so it won't happen again. Also, I am discussing a possible alliance board with a 3rd member who is in the same position I am with you. The better we network, the less friendly fire we get.

So now we know who took that shot at Doe

[38thdoe]

Hmm, I missed that conversation I guess. Can we update the player list with our knowledge of who's in what faction?

[38thdoe]

Yeah let him think we have auto busdriving or whatever. I really want to hear the details of that first night. What kind of crazy times are we living in where I'm a day 1 target?

[ringo]

Am now sharing a proboard with Infidel and Maxfrost

from Infidel:

"Ringo, I regret to inform you that apparently we killed SLyM.

I targeted Sir Fab, and as the narration shows, he "insisted" on suiciding on us instead.

That was nothing more than a targeted kill on our end, I am not sure if it was a bus driver or a forced-shield ala Edcrab style or what. But it may be linked to Sir Fab himself.

AbysmalLynx was mine, and Wandering Hero is my surviving teammate. Tell us about yourself, Ringo. "

From Maxfrost:

"And to get it out of the way, I am a faction/subfaction/target seer. I also have a self guard, which is why I'm still alive. Because I'm Colonel Badass. "

[ringo]

Unsolicited PM from Cythraul:

"Just fyi, the light seal breaking more likely coincided with The Council attacking the Zen Survivor, the mysterious being who was carrying it. FYI, the Zen Survivor - The Spiral Federation - Mysterious being, was REG Rysk. He somehow didn't die when we attacked him, but the disk broke anyway. Do you have any info on the beings?

Also, do me a favor and don't reveal my identity. I have a feeling the Arcadian Elites are gunning for me. Inter-village warfare ftl."

REG Rysk is a Mysterious Being for the Spiral Fed? Then what the hell is Moleface?

[tiphareth]

Moleface reeks of mafia to me. But idk.

Hold off on the Sir Fabulous vote, Egos confirmed to me that he is an Odd job. He's trying to goose me a bit for info too:

do we have any idea how to take them out. we had someone on my team who could attack someone's elemental summon and do 100 hp dmg to them in the process, but Infidel group's took him out. Despite my understanding that they probably wouldn't , since I made dealings with someone in that group and they had told me they were after another organization within the Kingdom of Phalla not my own.

An aside I would give you the Summoner of the Guide's name but I figure it is a bit of a bargaining chip. Especially my team is the unpopular group and the others are the favored ones. As bad as it sounds, if Infidel is United Arcadian Elites and friends with the Royal Arcadian Army. You guys will back him because he is the prize stallion. Simply how things work.

We are against the Royal Arcadian Army..if that clears things up. Not the elites..despite the elites make a move against us..for whatever reason. Even though they should have had the knowledge that we weren't after them. It suggests either paranoia ,thinking we were the Council or they are after us.

Anyway that out of the way, if the summoners are the true threat. Do you have a good idea on how to take one down. Since we obviously both tried.

Here is how I responded, hopefully he'll tell us who death is:

Summon can attack each other by spending their HP if they are in the open, which does double damage of what they spent. Also the vote does 100 times the day it is damage. And there are powers around which do 100 damage to summons out in the open. Most kills targeted at players seem to do 100 damage to them as well. From what I can tell the baseline is that they heal 100 energy towards their cap at the end of the day.

And I don't see why we would back Infidel in particular over anyone. We simply want an uncursed Imperial summon to win, we don't have much stake in interfaction fighting beyond that. Infidel's group tried to attack Sir Fabulous last night, but it got redirected on to Slym, which is rather irritating from our perspective, especially since he didn't coordinate at all with who we were targeting.

Maxfrost is in one of the other village subfactions, I'm not sure which but could check. His trope name is Colonel Badass. Does that grease the wheels at all for you telling us who the Death summoner is?

[savant]

Infidel might be lying or omitting the truth about saying that he tried to kill Sir Fab, and may just be trying to throw some heat towards a rival btw. Egos is getting sort of pissed because he thinks Infidel's group killed MrB instead, which may be the case.

Egos is threatening to simply out the Death summoner in the thread, which will be interesting one way or another if he does.

Edit: Egos just wants a guarantee that we won't screw him over and not lead anyone to them, and he'll help us out. Let me know what you want me to say to him Ringo, since you are handling the other side of the networking.

[ringo]

Unsure on how to placate Egos. My first thought is that he's been scarily good at reading me personally in the past. So maybe if you tell him that I guarantee we have zero interest in screwing him over, he'll be more trusting? I'm not one to go out of my way to fuck people over.

It is weird that he thinks we're more likely to side with Infidel. I mean, yes generally in Phalla everyone is more likely to side with Infidel, that's how he keeps getting his enemies killed and he's very good at it. But Ringo/Infidel doesn't exactly have a strong working history there.

Anyway, thinking about it - I'd probably just encourage Egos to out the Death Summoner to the thread. Let the village deal with it. If he wants, he doesn't have to do it - he can just give us the name and I can out the name in the thread if he feels it's a safer bet than having just us in the know.

We must do everything we can to prevent every seal from being destroyed, so protecting ringo is vital.

I do not like these mysterious beings, I think that if every seal is gone they might win in some terrible way. A zen survivor is not necessarily good, and a complete monster certainly is not.

This is just your sixth ranger talking but I do not like it.

[Void Slayer]

That said offing death is a good idea and that is not just life talking.

Most likely the other VE summoner is one of the existing ones not the . Or something.

Our Complete Monster is dead, so we don't have much choice about it either way.

We want to keep Ringo alive as long it looks like we can reasonably get Life or Steel to win, but it'll probably be a good idea to sacrifice him in the case we lose the summon race.
