Night 4 begins with the epic duel between Ahoda and DS. The crowd in the gambling is excited to see two new contestants competing for their enjoyment tonight. The energy is frenetic and paper objects are being waved around. Just then, the house lights go dim, with only the two combatants illuminated in the spotlight.

"What do we do now?" DS asks Ahoda, starting to shake a bit.

"Umm, duel, duh" replies Ahoda. "Are you afraid of the dark?" he adds, laughing and starting to unbutton his pants.

"No, and WTF are you doing?" DS replies.

"Oh, sorry, it must just be a reflex for when the lights go out. My bad."

"Damn dude, I don't think it's that kind of contest. Well, I hope it isn't, as I wouldn't stand a chance" DS spits out while trying not to laugh.

"Ok, let's go on 3" Ahoda says.

"1-2-3-Shoot"

The Martian in the striped shirt quickly comes up, examines the choices, and points at DS. He has won this first round.

"Damn man, I can't lose to this chump" Ahoda thinks to himself. "I definitely won't be getting any from Angi if I lose."

"Ready to go again?" DS asks, as the crowd quiets down once again.

"Let's do this."

"1-2-3-Shoot"

This time it's Ahoda who is being cheered by part of the audience in attendance.

"Your damn right I won that round. You ready to get your ass beat again?"

"Shut up and throw down"

"1-2-3-Shoot"

As the stripey-guy begins to point, Ahoda quickly realizes that his arrogance was not well placed. He loves scissoring, but it's not quite the same when DS is doing it to you.

Part of the crowd erupts in cheers, while the other half quickly exit out a side entrance. Ahoda is quickly escorted back to the humvee, while DS follows behind shortly thereafter. Both people are quickly returned to their homes, to begin their nights.

Day 5 begins, just like every other day, with a beautiful sunrise obscured by obnoxious spaceships. The group begins to assemble, when they notice that President Dale is not around to take role.

"Umm, I guess I'll do it" says Curtis.

He begins to count the crowd members, and announces he only sees 12 people present.

"Hey stupid, you forgot to count yourself" states DS, with a smug look on his face.

"Damnit, 13, we have 13 people."

Angi chimes in, "we seem to be short Merc and Helios." The rest of the group nods in agreement with her assessment. They start to make their way over to Merc's place, and drrr steps up to open the door. The site they see is all too familiar to them. Merc is lying in his front hallway with all of his soft tissues removed and his skeleton glowing a bright shade of green.

Player: Merc Character: President James Dale (Jack Nicholson) - Role: Governor Action: As President of the United States, you hold a small amount of power. You are able to completely stop one lynch during the course of the game. Additionally, since you are a good guy, you can choose to take the place of one lynch victim by being lynched yourself. Both actions must be submitted before a lynch is reached (either total or time limit). Win Condition: Generic Town

Following this terrible news, the remaining members of the group take a quick moment of silence for the passing of their fearless leader. They then recompose themselves, and start heading towards Helios' place. About halfway there, they see a body lying in the street that looks sort of like Helios. A closer inspection reveals that it is in fact Helios, however he seems to be missing most of the top of his head, with brain matter splattered all over the street.

Player: Helios Character: Martian Alchemist Action: Your specialty on Mars was that of a chemist for the Martian War Council. You would develop new chemical compounds for use in war situations. One of the compounds you created was a sugary drink that renders humans speechless for long durations of time. Each night you will covertly place one of your cans of juice in their home, and if they drink it, they will be rendered speechless and will not be able to post, vote, or lynch the following day phase. Win Condition: Generic Mafia

While this news is comforting, it doesn't quite make up for the death of their President. The group returns to the Army base, and vows to find the vile things responsible for all these deaths.

Day 5 has now begun. With 13 players alive, it'll take 7 votes for a nomination and/or a lynching. Deadline is Sunday at 5 PM CT. Plurality is in effect for today.

Before anyone asks, no I did not kill Merc.

But did you kill merc?

Whose that?

but did you kill helios?

I picked box #8 and got a one time tracking power. I used it on im317 last night, but was roleblocked. Spin says I get to use it again since I was blocked.

from this im going to think that the roleblocker is AT. Why would you block me, if not to block whatever power I may get from the boxes.

oh, and my message was going to be this:

Has anyone noticed that the only farlig vote cast all game was for brian to duel day 1?

That Helios self silencing

Would that help or hurt me if I did? But to answer your question, no, I did not kill helios.

hmmmm

Looking at Angi for declaring him cleared because of it.
