Werewolf XXII - Werewolf Battle Royale

Day 1? Interesting.

Normally I'm against bandwagons, but considering the free-for-all nature of this game, and because FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT, knkwzrd gets my vote.

You realize if I die, the game ends, right? Just saying.

knkwzrd dies, people cheer.

nuttyturnip dies, everyone's collar explodes, game over.

knkwzrd dies, there will be no more rainbows, ever.

nuttyturnip dies, everyone gets free ice cream and miniature American flags.

How can you argue with a picture like that?

I'm voting for nuttyturnip again! It doesn't count but I don't care! knkwzrd's wacky antics have warmed my heart!

Wow, that sounded so pompous I'm tempted to change my vote to [b]nuttyturnip[b].

But you won't because you love America, and life.

Besides, I didn't mean to sound pompous. Don't you think it's entirely possible that our captors gave one of us some sort of dead man's switch, so that when that person dies, they take everyone else with them? Following that thought, if our captors wanted the game to go on for any length of time, they wouldn't give the kill switch to a bloodthirsty monster like knkwzrd.

Mr. Mod is pleased so far.

nuttyturnip (7): The_Griffin, knkwzrd, Shin, Diss, Chaotic, Crash Landon, StarmanDX
knkwzrd (7): nuttyturnip, Tritoch, Garr, nazpyro, Rollins, Darkcomet72, juanzen
nazpyro (2): ZiggyGo, Plarom
Darkcomet72 (1): Identity Crisis
Zergrinch (1): Zergrinch

In the interest of not having a tie, voting will be open until the deadline, even after Plarom votes. It's just half an hour, but still.

I have to sleep, so don't expect anymore from me tonight. I'd just rather not wake up dead in the morning.

well if it is still by the deadline I will change my vote to knkwzrd.

I want an honorable trial by combat. As such I am withdrawing my vote against knkwzrd and voting against myself

For once, I'm actually in favor of one of Zerg's totally demented moves.

I entered this situation quite aloof, unaware of the gravity of the situation at hand. As happy as I am about potentially holding both knk's and nutty's fate in my hands, I'm even more ecstatic about ending the first day on a tiebreaker. Yes, let this end in a bloody duel, one which will set the tone for the rest of the game!

I like the sound of that. Nazpyro~

"Well, it seems you couldn't even wait until you got outside for the blood to start flowing. Forcing a tie just means we get to see a show right here and now."

The students started chattering amongst themselves, wondering what would happen next. Once they realized something would be going down between nuttyturnip and knwzrd, all eyes turned to them.

"nuttyturnip, knkwzrd, please come to the front of the room. Oh, and please pull the weapon out of your bags."

Both students stood up and began to unzip their duffel bags. They both pulled out a knife, and continued to look dig further through the bags.

"No no no, you don't get to use anything else unless you actually live. Besides, I wouldn't want everyone else to see you special items yet."

Both students took their knife and zipped their bag back up. They then walked to the front of the room and took a place on either side of Mr. Mod.

"Good, you're both getting the hang of this," Mr. Mod said as the smile on his face somehow managed to get even wider. "Now, this is a simple affair. You both turn your back to each other, and whoever strikes first after I say 'go' wins. Understand?"

Both students nodded their heads as they turned their backs to each other. Both held their weapon with a tight grip, as if their life depended. Of course, in this case, it did.

"Go!"

Yes, we have ourselves a tie. To break the tie, both nuttyturnip and knkwzrd will need to send in an attack, and will keep doing so until the tie is broken. In the interest of not having this delay the game too long, the total deadline will be set for 24 hours (from the timestamp on this post). This means no matter how long this takes, we're breaking this thing within the time limit (I'm assuming this thing will probably end on the first attack, but if by some miracle of God they keep getting a tie I'll drag them both onto AIM or something until this is broken).

So hold tight, everybody. If you're so inclined (i.e. the results of this battle won't change your planned Night actions), feel free to send in any attacks or use any items that are applicable, but Night 1 has not officially started yet so there is no deadline or anything. And while I will take note that you have sent in your action, I won't start sending out attacks until Night 1 officially begins.

If I die, I'm officially creating my first :nutgrudge: against Zergrinch.

Neither knkwzrd or nuttyturnip wanted to be in this situation, but they knew they had no choice. Regardless, they did have different feelings about what they were doing. nuttyturnip was shaking in fear, dreading thought of dying, but dreading the thought of killing someone even more. knkwzrd, on the other hand, was fascinated by the thought of possibly killing someone, but tried not to show it in his demeanor.

Once Mr. Mod's declaration rang through their ears, both students tensed up. This was it, this was their live or die moment. Both of them turned around at nearly the same time, but while it was most likely unnoticable to those watching, one of them had managed to strike just a little bit quicker. Maybe he was a little jumpy from the fear, but nuttyturnip had managed to turn around just a tad bit quicker.

This quickness allowed him enough time to target knkwzrd, choosing to go for his neck. knkwzrd knew he was a bit slower to react, and thus flailed his arm wildly in an attempt to both defend himself from nuttyturnip's attack and launch one of his own. He managed to succeed on the defense front, blocking nuttyturnip's attack to his neck by having the blade get stuck in his arm. However, this prevented him from making his own attack, still leaving the ball in nuttyturnip's court.

nuttyturnip knew he had not won yet. He had knkwzrd trapped at the moment, but if he tried to make another attack he knew knkwzrd could still try to overpower him. But before he could think out his next action, knkwzrd had already decided to go on the offensive. With nuttyturnip's knife still stuck in his arm, he rammed his body against nuttyturnip in an attempt to stagger him. His plan succeeded better than he expected, as nuttyturnip not only staggered, releasing his grip on the knife, but also fell to the ground.

With nuttyturnip downed, knkwzrd had the perfect opportunity to strike at him. He stood over nuttyturnip and lunged his knife at his chest. nuttyturnip managed to see the blade coming at him, and was able to react quick enough to stop knkwzrd from stabbing him by grabbing his forearm. Though nuttyturnip was in a more disadvantageous position, knkwzrd was severely weakened by his injury, as nuttyturnip's knife was still stuck in his arm. This gave nuttyturnip just enough of an edge to overpower knkwzrd, preventing him from striking a fatal blow.

As their struggle continued, nuttyturnip knew this was his chance to end it. With his free hand, he pulled his knife out of knkwzrd's arm. This made knkwzrd wince in pain, giving nuttyturnip just enough of an opportunity to strike. He thrusted his knife upwards into knkwzrd's neck as hard as he could, stopping him instantly. nuttyturnip felt knkwzrd's arm go limp in his hand as blood ran down all over his face. Finally, knkwzrd's entire body went limp as he fell down on top of nuttyturnip.

nuttyturnip hurried to get out from under knkwzrd. Once he was free, he threw down his knife and wiped his face. He looked down at his hand and saw how bright red it was. He then started to look around at his fellow students, some looking back in horror, others relieved that he had managed to survive, and even a few who were angry that he had managed to live. All nuttyturnip could do was stand there in disbelief.

"Well, it seems we have our first successful kill of the game," Mr. Mod said, his smile still as huge as ever. "Unfortunately, we don't have time to lament over young knkwzrd's death, as this little spectacle has already delayed the start of the big show. So now it's time to take up your bags and scoot on out of here."

Many of the students were still horrified by what they had just seen, but they had no choice but to get out as quick as they could as the soldiers started to nearly drag them out. The students were being separated from each other and getting escorted out of different exits. As the last few students were leaving, nuttyturnip was still just standing there in disbelief.

"I suggest you pick up your knife and leave if you don't want knkwzrd's death to be in vain," Mr. Mod said as he put his hand on nuttyturnip's shoulder. He then moved his hand to nuttyturnip's neck and gave his collar a slight tug. "Staying here will only cause your own death, which would be a shame considering he died so that you could live...for now anyway."

This kicked nuttyturnip into gear, as he picked up his knife off the floor and then ran to get his duffel bag from his seat. A soldier then walked up next to him to escort him out the building.

"You know, knkwzrd talked a big game, but you actually proved that you can play one," Mr. Mod yelled to nuttyturnip as he was leaving. "Go get 'em, killer!"

nuttyturnip's heart sunk as he realized he had become the same thing he had accused knkwzrd of being.

Results:

Group vote is a tie between knkwzrd and nuttyturnip.
nuttyturnip wins the tiebreaker, killing knkwzrd.

And with that we have our first casualty of the game. There's still plenty of people left though, so the bloodshed is far from over. And with the first night now upon us, there will definitely be more bloodshed.

Now, please note that things are done differently at night during this game. There is now a 72-hour deadline, but each of the 24 hour periods within that deadline have different specifications. The first 24 hour deadline is for sending in attacks, the second for sending in defenses, and the third is for counterattacks and any other last minute things you may need to do (use an item, etc). Remember that once a deadline for a specific action has passed you can no longer perform that action, but if you're performing an action for a future period you can do it before that specific period.

With that said, the deadline for sending in attacks is Friday, May 23rd at 3:00 PM, the deadline for sending in defenses is Saturday, May 24th at 3:00 PM, and the final deadline is Sunday, May 25th at 3:00 PM. All times are CST.

After they left the building, many of the students did not hesitate to start playing the game. Though the thought of being killed scared them, the thought of settling their grudges far outweighed this fear. This led to constant fighting and killing all throughout the night, only ended by the sound of a bell that rang over the loudspeaker for all to hear.

"Good morning students!" said none other than Mr. Mod over the speaker. I'm sure you've all been anxiously awaiting the results of last night. so it's time for a progress report! Don't worry, your parents won't be getting this one, so there's no need to hide your bad grades!

"The night's first unfortunate victim was nuttyturnip. He showed lots of promise in his showdown at the cafeteria, but he proved to be a lightweight after all, not even surviving past the first night. Makes me wish knkwzrd had won after all, as he was a bloodthirsty little devil that would have injected a little excitement into the game. Oh well, after all that, they're both dead now, so too bad.

"Next up, we have Darkcomet72. After making a botched attack against another student, he had managed to survive the counterattack. Luck was just not on his side though, as Shin wanted him dead. Well, to be more specific, he didn't want Darkcomet72 dead, he just happened to be the first person Shin saw after make his way through all that smoke. It sucks to get caught in the way of a random, two-pronged attack, but that's the unfortunate life of Darkcomet72. Of course, Shin himself is not the happiest camper either, also being dead and all. Yes, after his original victim escaped his attack and he ended up inadvertently killing someone else, he managed to get himself killed as well.

"Then we have poor little Tritoch. The little guy was so scared that he just couldn't attack anyone. That didn't stop someone else from attacking him though, and successfully killing him. I say good riddance to him, as his kind of cowardice is unwanted and unwelcomed. He can go rot in a cave somewhere for all I care. And on that note, watch yourselves Chaotic and ZiggyGo, or you might be joining him. Of course, it'll be from your collars exploding rather than from someone killing you, but you get the gist of it.

"But the MVP of the night has to be Identity Crisis. Of course, he would be if he were still alive. He definitely had the potential to be a great player, if it wasn't for that unfortunate dying thing. Apparently he wasn't very popular, as he managed to get attacked by four separate people. But to my surprise, he actually managed to escape two of them and successfully defend himself against another, launching a counterattack that he won in the process. Oh yeah, sorry to poor StarmanDX, the victim of that counterattack. Anyway, back to Identity Crisis, his luck just happened to run out as he finally faced a battle he couldn't win. Unbelievable that he managed to do all that without even initiating his own attack. I'd normally frown on this and tell him to go join Tritoch in that cave, but you just have to give it up to him for everything else he did right. Except for you know, the dying part.

Anyway, that's all for now. Please report back to the cafeteria. Today's meal is death with a side of drama. Delicious."

Lots of exciting action tonight, and I was surprised that most people responded in a timely manner (I was the slow one, taking so long to update the thread). This was about on par for how many people I thought would end up dying, and with only one more person dying today, we still have a ways to go before a winner is declared. And trust me, there are still some surprises in store!

With that, it is now Day 2. All votes are due by Wednesday, May 28th at 3:30 PM (CST).

Normally I'd swear vengeance upon whoever dared to kill me, somehow, but I kind of deserved it. I forgot to send in a kill that night, and then spent the rest of the kill deadline day out quitting/looking for jobs. Damn me for being productive for once!

Besides, my item sucked anyway. What kind of cheapass discount staff breaks after a single use? Not even a real staff at all, I bet. That Mr. Mod bum just gave me a stick from the woods.

Damn you guys. I never was any good at scissors, paper, stone. I'm glad I used my item on night one though, I had a feeling I wouldn't last out the night, having survived the last two games. I hope whoever killed me has the decency to win now.
