OK, 12 hours and no posts? New rule: Lack of contribution = -100 points from here on out. It's Day now, so someone needs to get selected to embark on a dangerous mission that will surely cost them 200 hp. It seems this game is basicaly taking place between pms from you to me. People need to start posting on the thread.

Good one. I had to think for a while about it...

I was too sexy for my own good...

This is a very cool game. I wish I got to answer some of the past ones as well OK, my first go around:

There are plenty of ways to earn back stat points as stated in the rules: surviving Days and Nights, successful kills, extra mentioning in Flashback and Day posts. Those are all worth 25 points. The Flashback posts are worth 50 points per team. All of those earned points can be used to rebuild any life lost.

Chapter 2: Akatsuki Attacks! Star Tiger was stealthily walking through the sewers of Konoha while memorizing the lay out. She thought this would make a perfect place for an ambush. Every pipe, every dead end, every grate accounted in her mental map. She was almost finished surveying the area, when she noticed an ominous shadow. The shadow crossed over the water she was standing near and blocked the exit she was planning on using. She didn't turn to run though. She wasn't one to back away from a fight. ???: Can I interest you in converting to the Jashin faith? Star Tiger didn't answer. She drew her sword and waited while her apparent attacker just stood there. The silence mounted. All she could hear was the echoing drip of the water from a loose pipe behind her. *drip... drip... drip... * She never once thought about running, though she had plenty of time to strategize. The man confronting her lifted a religious symbol hanging from his neck and kissed it. He was clearly in no rush either. Hidan: *sigh* I'll take that as a 'No' then... I didn't expect to find many converts in this Godless village anyway. You leave me with little choice, but at least this will be fun. Since my resurrection, I've been itching for a fight. Just make sure you last long enough for me to let out some steam. --- Deidara flew over Konoha riding his clay owl. He flew atop it silently and quickly looking for his prey. His action very much imitated that of an owl searching for it's night's meal. He had already prepared his masterpiece and was ready to let it drop at a moment's notice. There he was! Frost emerged from an unmarked building near the outskirts of the village. Deidara dropped the bomb directly onto his target. It plummeted like a rock, but then spread its molded wings halfway and gracefully floated above Frost. He noticed too late though and was consumed in the blast. He held his arms up which took the brunt of the attack. His body was thrown back and slammed through the door of the building he had just emerged from. When the dust settled, several people rushed over to Frost to check his vitals. He was still alive. They all looked up into the night sky. Deidara was long gone. --- Star Tiger used an explosive technique to open a hole in the roof of the sewer and escape to the surface where she could open the fighting arena up some and not be so confined. The sewer didn't offer much space and restricted movement. It was a poor read though, because judging from his weapon, this guy liked to keep his distance from his opponents. The rope attached to the scythe was extremely long and began to cause worry in Star Tiger's mind. "What's with this odd weapon?" she thought. As she jumped up out of the sewer, she noticed Hidan launching his next attack. She passed the newly made crater and was now above the surface. Hidan's scythe followed and she back-flipped over it. She looked behind and dodged the vicious weapon a second time when it retracted back into Hidan's hand. Hidan clasped his hand over the grip and jumped up to level ground with her. He was enjoying this... He stalked her and then just before she could attack he shot the scythe out at her again and again. Hidan: You've got some nice moves! Hmmm! I'm going to enjoy experiencing your death. Star Tiger: I've had it with you. You're dead. Hidan: As if you could pull it off... hmph! I'd let you kill me if you could. Star Tiger: What's that supposed to mean? Hidan: You'll find out soon enough non-believer. Lord Jashin will smite you. Hidan swung his scythe around without regard as to what he destroyed and Star Tiger was forced into dodging the swinging blades and barely managed to get any attacks off for herself. Trees blew up, benches were torn through, the blades whirled in a frenzy and Star Tiger began to get winded. Hidan saw an opening and aimed for a spot behind Star Tiger. While she was waiting for the recoil of the rope attached to the blades, Hidan threw a dagger at her heart. She dodged the dagger and then he pulled on the scythe. She couldn't dodge both. The scythe ripped into her side when it returned to its owner and Hidan began to laugh mirthlessly. Star Tiger swallowed hard. Hidan licked the fresh blood off the blade and laughed in an endless tirade. Star Tiger thought she had a great opening and threw all her explosive-tagged kunei and shuriken into Hidan's body. They all pummeled him, but in the midst of the attack Hidan quickly drew the same religious symbol on the ground in his own blood as the one that hung around his neck and he then stood in it. Star Tiger waited for the smoke to clear and then her eyes widened in astonishment. --- Brandonb casually sauntered down a trail near the center of the village, when a flood rushed down over the trail. He leaped back before the water level got too high. He looked for the water-user who must have created this mess, but he couldn't.. "There he is!" Bb thought as he dodged a massive wave. Kisame rode the wave under him and laughed as he threw shuriken up at the leaping Bb. Bb blocked them all and landed on part of the trail that had now become an island in a lake of water. Moments ago there wasn't even a drop of water to be seen. He lost Kisame in the confusion of the constant tidal waves. "He must have gone back under." Brandonb wasn't quite sure how to deal with such a massive Water Technique. The extra moments cost him. He landed on the water surface and began to run, but Kisame reached up from underwater and pulled Bb down under. Kisame pummeled him and forced him down to the basin, deep underwater. Bb was stunned and held his sides in pain. He looked up and saw Kisame on the surface, smirking with amusement. Soon after he uttered those words, five sharks sprouted from Kisame's palm and sped down onto Bb. He fended them off, but took serious damage. Kisame: Consider this a warning. And remember the name Hoshikage Kisame! I'll kill you the next time we meet. Bb: *cough* You... don't even ... know what ...*cough* I'm capable of.. Kisame: Well, you're certainly capable of drowning. I know that much. See you around. Heh Kisame disappeared in a flash and the water then dispersed just before Bb drowned. Bb used the last of his strength to hide himself from any other attackers who may have been lurking around the area looking for an easy kill. He waited for a while and then left to recover. He didn't get a chance to track Kisame's trail leaving the scene, but he was badly wounded and didn't think it wise to pursue him then and there. He coughed up the last of the water in his lungs, cursed his failure to see the attack coming in the first place and left the scene. --- Star Tiger couldn't believe her eyes! Hidan stood there, in that symbol, with a wry look on his face. He was indeed injured from her barrage, but he showed no sign of pain. Was he some sort of masochist? Hidan: You're under my curse now. There is no hope for you. Realize my power and make peace while you can. Star Tiger: Like I'll!... ugh.. ow! She tried to stand straight, but her body was badly damaged. She was in serious pain. What happened? "Did he manage to link our bodies? ...the blood!" But she realized his technique too late. Whatever damage she did to him would be done right back to her. She threw a shuriken at Hidan's ear and her own ear split as well. ...It was true. She was done for. Hidan smiled and took out his sacrificial spear from his robe. He extended it and plunged it into his own heart. Star Tiger stared right at the madman, this indestructible merciless foe. How could she possibly have survived such an encounter? She looked down and then toppled backward onto her back, dead. Hidan looked up at the sky shaking in ecstasy. Hidan: MUuAaaha HAhAHAhahaHA! hehehehe... aHA hahHAH hahahAHhhh!

2 1/2 Hours to get all finalized Night Actions in.

But is pulling the cords out of a machine that is keeping you alive suicide? It's an interesting question. The person would live with them, but in a natural sense, they would die without them. Therefore, I say it isn't suicide. If one were to get shot by police on purpose, it means they would live otherwise (at least for a little while). But in the euthanasia cases we're discussing, the people would die naturally without assistance. I would pose this question to religious-minded people who have mortal sins on their mind: "Isn't keeping the machine on going against God's wishes? We invented these machines, they are not part of his design. We are keeping Him from taking the person's life, are we not?"

If you're an important innocent, why do you have nothing intelligible to say? Edit: You have some time not to get lynched though. PT will go down this time, cp next, then you'll have to convince us.

My opinion is that I don't see the point in living, as a human, if there is no medical possibility to be able to enjoy life anymore. If a person is brain dead with no possible recovery, or if they are very old/very sick and want to die I think that that is their choice and that it is fine. We all will die, so why suffer horribly for a few months/years before we do? If this comes down to an ideology of any kind (whether it be religious or naturally based), I think that keeping people alive via machines who have no recovery hope and/or have asked to die is going against what God and nature intends. So by keeping them alive we are only satisfying ourselves. If unplugged, we allow God, nature and the person who is asking to die to have their way. By keeping them plugged in against their will, I think we are being selfish and ignorant as to how much that person must be suffering.

I know you're great at role deduction. right now, who do you think is vizzini?

because you just fell for my trap. laying low and saying little until someone points the finger at you There's a 3rd baddie after prof. t gets lynched who was hiding under the radar and before, it was between you and FIF IMO. now that FIF is cleared (and dead sadly), all signs point to you

I'm not the one who jumped on the JS bandwagon. I wanted to push Sinistral a little and the bandwagon blocked that path. How convenient for you DNH's.

me too! you, Bb and ST fill out the other 3 baddies nicely.

So you were assuming the baddies didn't read all the characters' roles? I'm not buying that. Edit: and no roles are confirmed by our doubts of you

Though I'm inclined to believe he is TF, we don't know it for sure. Watari may have just wanted to negate a lynch-vote that was based on nothing. At that point Watari could only know L and one other's ID, so it's not a given that Watari knows JS is TF. Bb's comment was indeed shady which is why I replied to it, seeing if he'd take it any further and he didn't which is a good strategy for baddies. The more they talk, the more they let odd statements slip like: "I have no idea how you can tell who is what already" -Bb to Watari. So, I'm with JS thinking Bb is highly suspect. Also, I'm still on Sinistral's case. He was a little too clever last game as Light (in fact both of them were very clever). So, if I die tonight, I suggest putting pressure on those two.

Westly can't die, if I'm alive, so I def. need the protection.

One last thing (hopefully ). There are multiple characters with the ability to control the actions of others, so I'm going to go with the Naruto Story and this will be the order or priority: 1) Sharingan Users: if Itachi and Sasuke it will be a 50/50 chance for either. 2) Hidan and Shikamaru (if both then a 50/50 chance for either) 3) Ino Also, the Night pms must be in by 7 hours from this post. I've gotten tons of progress and completed Nights from almost everyone presently. So thanks, and we'll get this started tonight! Edit: added in Shikamaru

I totally agree. It's good that lynch didn't go through because it was really awful and based on nothing. But... Why are people thinking he's innocent? He still never put up a defense which is odd.

Oh sorry, I totally forgot about that. I was busy concentrating on my perfect breasts . My bad though. Anyway yeah Y-San, 2 of the bad guys I thought were bad from the beginning are still alive and Prof. T heads the list. Bb is mos. def. Vizzini.

2 things right off the bat: 1) I didn't vote for JS, I voted for Sinistral (so I'm assuming my vote was manipulated) 2) "Sinistral stroked his chinny-chin-chin" implying three little pigs implying cops implying he's a good guy? It's a reach, but what the heck, I went there

Since it hasn't come into play yet (since we haven't started ), I'm going to alter the Healing roles. They will Heal for double their stat. Meaning if Kakuzu, Kabuto, Ino or Sakura have 75 for instance for their Special Ability stat, they will heal their target by 150 stat points that Night, but only if their target is Attacked. And I don't see why those 150 points cannot be rearranged by the target as well, since they effectively did lose points and then gain points. Edit: I also re-worded Hidan's Special Ability. I just realized there was a bit of confusion (my fault in writing it strangely). Hidan doesn't control his victim's Night actions, he just nullifies them. So he can't make someone attack someone else for instance. I also gave his special ability double damage. Sorry Hidan... I hope the double damage makes up for the misunderstanding

This does looks like textbook goodguy getting lynched on the first day, but there is the factor of JS not having had defended himself yet. Something else is up because I find it hard to believe JS would just go down without swinging. He might be Misa, and therefore not die.

Good point, I'll change it to FIF since he doesn't come on often and may not have seen my post. Edit: I was hoping Roberts would believe me and take out Bb, but him wasting an action and me dying would be a total waste, so I'll try to nullify him. But it's not always effective. I tried to nullify Bb Night 1 and it didn't work. <_< How could he not think Buttercup is hot???

If you attack me tonight, I will die and most likely you will all lose. You're claiming Roberts and PT is claiming Inigo. You should attack Bb and do us all a favor by killing the first bad guy. Edit: the bad guys have bigger fish to fry than me: I'm Buttercup, I'll be seducing cp tonight
