After rereading, I think you are right. Lassr starts with the Get Smart theme, and tru1cy uses it a couple of times in his posts. I don't see any other references to Get Smart, so I'm fairly certain tru1cy is our 2nd bad guy.

msteelers wrote:My suspect list on who I should shoot is this:

Unagi - I've gotten the feeling from him at various points throughout the game that he's a wolf trying to lead the pack.
Stessier - Just because.
RMC - He's followed on almost all votes, and actively claimed he was doing so at the time. It just seems like something a bad guy would do.
Scoop - He just worked himself up onto the list by voting for Lassr already. I purposefully left my hint at being Bond vague in the hopes of allowing the bad guys to make a mistake, but I thought for sure Scoop would jump all over it. That he ignored it and started the voting of Lassr makes me think he could be a bad guy hoping that Bond is dead.

Right now I'm leaning towards shooting Unagi, because I think he needs to be tested. Off to read the thread one last time before submitting any orders.

OK, Bond...

Take your shot on RMC.

I am fairly convinced that Scoop and stessier are good guys.

If you do end up shooting me, please folks. remember - I called tru1cy, RMC, and Lassr. (And I got Lassr without Remus' help)

No just wait one minute. I am not a bad guy at all. I know I made the wrong choices, and did not learn from my first game at all, and got ax'd there as well.

Please scan me and then it will prove I am just a normal Agent.

Bond peered through the haze of the flash bang. He had to take his shot. There was no time for hesitation. He had to take it now. The mission was in a pivotal moment. The fate of the world hung in the balance. He looked across the room and saw his quarry firing his weapon. In the haze Bond couldn’t see where his target was aiming. Just then the figure ducked behind a pillar. Bond didn’t have a shot. He pushed a patron down on the dance floor, and dashed across it, then leapt and slid across a serving table. He ended up in a crouch, with a perfect angle on his target. Bond raised up his PPK and was about to shout a warning, when the target started to turn, arms extended the AK-47 held firm in front, in a firing position. Bond had to take the shot. Holding his PPK steady in a two handed grip he aimed down the sights and squeezed the trigger.

15 yards away a third eye drilled through Tru1cy’s head as he dropped to the ground lifeless. Bond quickly ran up to Tru1cy’s body and started rifling through his pockets, looking for anything that confirmed his suspicion that Tru1cy had been working for Spectre. In Tru1cy’s wallet he saw a pair of coupons for fish and chips from the Deep Blue restaurant chain, tossing them aside a certain fear started gnawing at him. Frantically his search carried on. In seconds it was over, Msteelers put the PPK down at his side, knowing one thing:

You don't like my reasoning on Unagi but you like that?

Anyway, I hope the group of you seriously think about lynching Unagi tomorrow.

If I'm a villain I'll buy your lunch at the next octocon.
No wait, if I'm a villain, I'll buy you and chaos lunch and give you and chaos $100 for some titty bar.

Heh. Now that's meta gaming.


RMC, there will very likely be no more scans.
I'm starting to wonder if you are a villain or not, once more.

Wow. Filled with doubts now.
Fuckin Day 3.

Oh, and that is 5.

Btw. Kudos to Tru1cy for how he started playing the game.

Did lassr and stessier ever interact?

Why no more scans? We have a protector who knows Q, so just protect him. Even if the baddies kill our protector tonight we get a scan, and can ax the right person, right?

I love it when a plan comes together.

Well that's an unexpected Binky to come back to.

Interlude 3 - A sure shot

“BOOM!” The flash bangs went off. The strike force sprung into action as they each penetrated the brothel.

Qantaga was the first one through the door; as he charged in he came upon a guard attempting to draw a weapon. Qantaga swung the butt of his gun, connecting with a satisfying thud on to the guards head. The guard was out in an instant.

A few feet behind him Msteelers rushed in, his eyes scanning the room. His eyes caught a quick motion by the bar, he swung and saw the bartender reach under the bar. Without hesitation Msteelers squeezed the trigger, the bartender dropped to the ground dead.

As the shots rang out RMC was the last through the front door, he rushed up to a table, knocked it over, and took up a covering position from behind it.

Up the street Scoop pressed the gas on the team van and slowly rolled up to the brother; his eyes were constantly scanning the streets looking for any surprises that that might pop up.

While the rest of the team was penetrating the brothel Remus was running down the side of the building, shooting at the windows then tossing smoke canisters into the brothel’s side rooms. Having finished he lifted himself over a ledge and jumped through the last window. The door was open, but a curious sight caught his attention. His instincts cried out and he acted on them.

Meanwhile Stessier was going from room to room securing them. He had just barged into a room and inside found an amusing sight; piled in a bed was an overweight man, sampling the tastes of two luscious blondes; all were oblivious to the commotion and Stessier’s presence. Stessier shook his head knowing they’d pose no problems. He muttered to himself, “If only this wasn’t work related!”

Chaosraven meanwhile had made his way through the building and had located the steps to the cellar. He clicked on his radio. “Am by the cellar, no sign of Reko yet; am going down.”

On the other side of the building Unagi kicked a door in and rushed into the room. With his weapon drawn he swung around the room. His eyes took in the luxurious double King’s size bed, the mirror on the ceilings and the banks of TV’s on the walls. No one was there. This was not good. “Guys am in Reko’s room and he’s not here, tell me you have him!”

Lassr had entered into the brothel with the rest of the team but had languished behind. He had to make certain something happened. He slipped his Flash Bangs into his pockets. He wouldn’t be needing them; after all he knew where Reko would be. He took a quick look around, saw that none of the other strike team was around; he then pushed a statue on a wall, next to it a portion of the wall slid open revealing a secret passageway. Lassr ran down the narrow hall and down a few steps. At the bottom of the steps he emerged into a small cavern. The cavern was dimly light, ocean waves could be heard lapping up on the sandy shore. Only 50 yards away was a small speedboat. And frantically undoing the moorings to the boat was none other than Reko.

Reko suddenly noticed and turned toward Lassr. “You…..? Here…? How you manage to?...” Just then he noticed Lassr raising his weapon. “Hey look man I swear I wont talk.”

“I know you won’t. I will make sure you don’t. “ Lassr coldly said

Just then Remus came into the room, his weapon drawn. “I can’t let you do that Lassr, we need him alive!”

Lassr didn’t move, torn between options. Remus didn’t hesitate and pumped the trigger five times. Lassr’s body convulsed as the shots riddled him, then fell to the ground. Dead. Keeping his gun trained on on Reko, Remus calmly walked over to Lassr’s body. He stopped for a moment appraising it. He then tore Lassr’s wristwatch off of him and smashed it on the ground. Within the small pieces that flittered out was one that caught Remus’ eye. He reached for it, his suspicion confirmed. It was a small receiver; standard SPECTRE equipment.

LASSR WAS SPECTRE!

INTERLUDE BOILERPLATE
Q- Who's biometrics shall you investigate?
Villains- Who shall not live another day?
Judy Havelock - Which team member shall you protect tonight?
Erich Kriegler - Shall the EMP detonate now?

While the rest of the team was penetrating the brothel

This has been an illuminating game if not for this one than for the future.

two villains:

• stessier
• Scoop
• Qantaga
• RMC
• Unagi

Good luck guys. I do not expect to live through the night.

Just checking back into the thread. Damn it all. Missed it by that much.

Qantaga wrote:

RMC wrote:Am I missing something

Yes, (whether intentionally or innocently) you are missing something.

Well not sure what I am missing, here is Judy's role:

Judy Havelock – As a special Attache you've been asked to accompany the team to protect the freighter. With the murder of your parents fresh on your mind, you’re determined to not let your team members meet the same fate. You will watch their backs, you will be their protector. (Role – Protector, once per interlude you can you can choose a team member to protect from the Villains’ killing strike.

So Judy just needs to protect Remus(or herself), and the villians can flip a coin. Attack Chaos(Judy) or Remus and maybe choose right.

Seems like a chess match that I am glad I am not involved in.

So Qantaga what am I missing?

RMC wrote:So Qantaga what am I missing?

On the off chance that you're toying with me and pretending ignorance, I'll be happy to enlighten you once we hear the Interlude's results.

Actually, I get what he is missing but mostly because we usually play it that way and it is not actually written there.

Newcastle, can the Havelock protect the same player on consequtive nights?

Remus, it is spelled out in the rules (in the second post):

Newcastle wrote:Rules:
Protector – At night can protect one person of his choosing. Can not choose same target back to back. He will find out if his target was successful or not. Can self protect, but not on consecutive interlude phases.

I was being vague in case RMC was a bad guy and had missed it.

I find it interesting that you are keeping Qantaga on equal footing with the others. Lassr was on his vote at N-1. Q checked in while at N-1. Thus, either Q forgot he could self vote and explode, or he is not the Zerker. If he is not the Zerker, and Lassr was on him at N-1, then you really think he is potential Bad Guy?

Ah. See, usually I just read the rules for the roles. Damn him for burying it in other posts. It is pretty standard for these games to play that way though and I had just assumed we were even without seeing it.

BTW, I was thinking about why they may have triggered the EMP right away. Doing it the first night gives them a step up on us and if all three Spectre agents are people who would be likely scans they may have felt they needed to get it done. Thus, stessier, Scoop, and Unagi stand out huge to me. I probably will not take the time to go back and read each of those players again but I suggest you all do. stessier, in particular, is playing well under the radar which is really bugging me right now. Combine that with Unagi's comment regarding feeling that stessier is human and I think you may be very wise to lynch both of them. If one of them is wrong I would lynch Scoop.

1. stessier
2. Unagi
3. Scoop

I didn't want to say anything out loud either... when I read that (missing the back-to-back exclusion), I thought maybe we'd gotten lucky.

CHAPTER 4 – The pen is mightier than the sword

With the sound of soft mariachi music playing in the background, the team started to extract themselves from the penetrated brothel. Dragging Reko up from the cellar, Qantaga pushed him up and into the van. Reko tried to move, but Qantaga gave a quick rap of his gun on his head, Reko’s resistance evaporated.

As Reko was shoved into his seat, Msteelers tore strips of duct tape and slapped them on Reko’s mouth and over his eyes. Next he slid a hood over his face and shoved him down. As Reko was shoved down RMC plunged a needle full of truth serum into him. “He should be spilling his guts in about 15 minutes.”

As the last member jumped in, Scoop punched the accelerator. It was only 10 miles away, but Scoop would be damned if they were stopped. The road was bumpy as Scoop maniacally made drove back to the safe house.

Once back to the safe house, Stessier violently pushed Reko into a dimly lit light holding room. He took a step forward and ripped off the hood and then the strips of duct tape. In an instant Reko was devoid of eyebrows.

Chaosraven started to tear into him with questions. “Where’s your cash?” Silence. “Where’s Drax?” Silence. They had to kick it up a notch. The drugs weren’t working! Brass knuckles appeared and were quickly slipped on to Chaosraven’s hand, a punch to Reko’s gut ensued. And so it went, until at last he cracked. “Where were they going? What do you know of them” Chaosraven asked.

Knowing he was a dead man for what he was doing, his voice shook as he said “CreigVeld Exports; they were…were both from there.”

Unagi punched the name into his laptop and a moment later said, “Got a location for them, they got an office at the local port looks like an import export operation. Anyone up for a ride?”

The team locked Reko’s cell and then rushed outside to the still warm van.

“Damn forgot my assault bag,” Remus said as he was about to get into the van. He turned and went back in. He took a look into the holding cell and noticed that Reko was slumped over. Thinking that was peculiar, Remus walked in to check on him and noticed the blood streaming down his chest. He turned and was starting to click on his headset when it was ripped from his hands and a large pair of hands sent him flying backwards.

“Were you looking for me?” A large bearded man said, holding what looked like a silver pen in front of him.

Remus looked at him then the device, he had to be careful. “Hugo Drax in the flesh.”

“Observant aren’t you,” Hugo said as he held his ground. Remus let his hand fall casually, closer to his gun. “Interesting device here wouldn’t you think? Heard it was made by the renowned Q.”

Remus started to go for his gun, but he was too slow. Hugo Draxx flicked a button and three silver prongs shot out of the pen and imbedded themselves into Remus chest. Attached to the prongs were long wires that led back to the silver pen. With another flick Hugo Draxx sent a surge of electricity forth frying Remus nervous system. Remus death was shockingly painful.

Stessier , in my head people are not on equal footing. This was a list of players that could be villains. Yes. He is indeed a potential Bad Guy, Stessier. Even if he's the least likely in my list, that doesn't mean there isn't any potential of him being a Bad Guy. There is a big difference (on the trust scale) between msteelers and Qantaga. There is a big difference between Chaos and Qataga.
I know you know this is true, and you aren't doing anyone any favors harping on me for putting Qantaga 'on the list'.

I've been running with the idea that stessier and Scoop are british, but I'm not sure any more at all.

RMC is actually a little more 'clean' to me, from recent takes on the game.
Qantaga had his N-1 moment.

But I need to wrestle with what I know to be a fact, 2 of these are villains:
stessier
scoop
qantaga
RMC


I'm going to throw this out there to anyone that knows Scoop's style.

Why isn't he more in our faces this game. He seems to be making few waves. We haven't butted heads ONCE this whole damn game. Or, wait - very early, but he backed off that very fast.

MSteelers - Bond
Chaosraven - Judy
