Werewolf XXV: Physician, Heal Thyself

Quote:

The village of Kildarbia had a vexing problem. Construction had just finished on a brand new hospital, but the citizens could not reach a consensus on what sort of medical treatment would be offered. “Voodoo magic is the only way to treat my corns!” shouted one old crone at a town meeting to discuss the quandary. “Let’s get real here,” yelled another woman, “Modern medicine is our only real option!” “Silence, all of you! Prayers to the Lord our God are the only healing this town needs!” put forth a pious-looking man.

The mayor, having grown weary of the debate, laid out his proposal. The town would let representatives of the three most popular choices (Pagan Magic, Modern Medicine, and Christian Science) staff the hospital. During the day, the groups would treat patients, and at the end of each day, the least competent practitioner would be put to death (while this might seem barbaric, the folks in this particular town didn’t get much entertainment). At night, with the hospital to themselves, each group would be free to prey on their opposition. Whichever group survived the longest could take control of the hospital.

Why would any group of physicians risk their lives over one hospital? Because this hospital possessed a piece of technology not found anywhere else in the world: a resurrection chamber, capable of restoring an individual to perfect health, no matter how dead they might be. The resurrection chamber took enormous power, and could only be used once per day. The mayor proclaimed that during the competition, once per day the townspeople would choose the group they felt had done the best job (or had screwed up the least), and that group would revive one of its departed members.

Thus begins Night One. The night ends roughly 48 hours from now, so the propping/dissing will begin on Friday night. I’m not going to the trouble of renaming the roles to fit the situation, since it just makes things more confusing. Role descriptions are in the PM you'll get. If you have any questions, feel free to ask; I'm sure I haven't thought of or explained every contingency.

Night One ends Friday at 8pm

lol wow, a hospital theme?

Please let there be wacky diseases to cure and be killed by. =D

Since someone asked, I'll clarify it here in the thread as well. A Nullifier nullifies all role-specific abilities. This means that you can nullify a Hunter, and then kill him at night without consequence.

Posting to subscribe. I hope I don't catch Lupus.

I'm afraid I must anti-subscribe. Just to do the opposite of Tritoch!

So you do hope you catch Lupus? But that would mean we agree on something, thus revealing your entire opposite act to be a sham!

12 hours to go, and I'm still missing quite a bit of night actions. I've heard zilch from the Pagans; maybe there's some fairie holiday I'm not aware of.

Bumping this thread by request of Nutty. WHERE ARE YOUR RESULTS NOW?

The story so far:

Quote:

Nothing made the Doctors happier than testing a new unproven vaccine on a convenient guinea pig. In this case, the unfortunate rodent was Chaotic, who had been wandering the halls in search of a vending machine before being nabbed by the unscrupulous experimenters. “This medication should inoculate you against lupus,” one of the doctors said from behind his mask, “but we’ve had some unpleasant side effects in our animal tests.” Chaotic felt the pinch of the needle, then a blinding pain in his skull drove him unconscious.

A few hours later, Chaotic awoke to find himself alone in a dark hallway. Other than a lingering headache, he didn’t think he’d suffered any lasting effects from the drug test. Then he noticed the extra arm which had sprouted from his chest. “At least now I won’t catch lupus!” he thought to himself.

Spoiler:

Doctors attempt to kill Chaotic but fail, because he was protected by a Shaman.

Quote:

Yeldarb was a very pious man, and he never worried much for his own safety because he knew God would protect him and smite those who would harm him. He and his Christian brethren had set up shop in the hospital chapel, and had spent most of the evening deep in prayer. Even a man of God must answer the call of nature, however, and in the wee hours of the morning, Yeldarb excused himself and headed for the restroom. Confident in his divine protection, he gave little more than a sideways glance at the strange man in pagan garb standing in the urinal next to him.

“Answer me a question, Christian,” the pagan bellowed.

“What do you want to know, my son?”

“If your god is all-knowing and all-seeing, does he even watch you in your most private moments, such as this?”

Yeldarb thought for a moment before responding, “No, I suppose God gives us some privacy when we’re in the restroom. He’s not a pervert, after all.”

“That’s good to know,” chuckled the pagan, right before he plunged a dagger deep into Yeldarb’s chest. “Tell your god he’d better pay closer attention if he hopes to defeat us.”

Spoiler:

Pagans nullify Christian Scientist Yeldarb’s Hunter ability and kill him.

Quote:

The Christian Scientists, in keeping with their pacifist beliefs, chose not to kill anyone.

Spoiler:

Christian Scientists submit every nightly action, but fail to submit a kill.

The night was very light on death, so I'm going to change things a bit for the first day. If the Christian Scientists win the prop/diss challenge, they will revive Yeldarb. If the Pagans or Doctors win the challenge, and they are the team that loses a member in today's lynching, the lynched member will be revived immediately.

As a reminder, here’s how the propping/dissing works:

-Each prop is worth +1 point, each diss is worth -1 point.
-Any props/disses made between now and the end of Day 1 (48 hours from now) count.
-The team with the highest point total wins the right to revive a dead teammate.
-Dead teammates count towards the point total. For example, any props Yeldarb receives counts toward the Christian Scientists’ total, even though he’s currently dead.
-Props/Disses can come from any member of GFF, on any post.
-You can use whatever method you want to attract props/disses, as long as it doesn’t include mod interference or otherwise hacking the system. For example, you could post a link in chat or your journal that says “click here” but actually props a post. Feel free to be creative, as long as any other player can do what you’re doing. Please check with me first if you have questions about the legality of your idea.
-Before the end of the day, each team should PM me the name of the player you wish to revive (but not today, since I already know).

Any questions?

Well, that's wonderful. But at least my team knows who killed me! *cough*tritoch*cough*

Voting for nazpyro because he's EVIL.

...Wait, no evil teams this game? Fuck.

We're over halfway through the day and only one vote. We can't have a game if no one talks, people. If our friendly spammer can post, so can you.

voting Zergrinch then, I know he is up to no good with all the grudges.

Juanzen is really starting to get on my nerves. The guy walks around the hospital in a doctor's coat, loaded down with wiccan bling and carrying two pocket-sized Bibles. Pick a side, flip-flopper!

EDIT: Oh-ho, the fiend posts just before me to feign decisive action. I'm on to you!

I'll have to vote for Juanzen because i'm too tired to come up with a good imaginative reason, and Tritoch just did for me.

juanzen just because we need to vote for someone.

Voting for Juanzen because honestly Helloween's excuse for voting for him may be the lamest one I've ever heard and totally makes them seem like teammates, but hopefully they're being so obvious because Juanzen has a role that they deemed necessary to get rid of.

Juanzen for the retaliatory vote
