Zack Mafia IV: Birthday Bash [GAME THREAD]

oops.

Hi Nazis. Ironically, you and the town now have a common interest. You need to kill a horsemen, or they'll either kill you or - if you both kill townies - they'll control the lynch.

No one ever listens to me.

You were screaming 'I AM SCUM' in every single post. Buddhafish is most likely the remaining Nazi, IMHO. Now the Commies must get out of their shell, since they are the last townies. This information will be useful for the Nazi: if he don't kill a Horseman, he loses. But that will completely expose the remaining Nazi... The thing is that the Nazis need to kill a Horseman to gave a chance at victory.

Didn't you say that yesterday?

Certain orders have been sent which now mean the game's outcome is inevitable. As such, night is officially declared over. The final update has been written and will be posted shortly, followed by the game's epilogue and what I'm sure will be a welcome announcement.

WAR sat quietly in the room, watching the ongoing duel through the looking glass. Witty banter was surely being exchanged. WAR's projection of himself was, of course, winning the duel. WAR calmly stroked his chin. Victory was nigh. The town was almost destroyed, their task almost complete. Two of his brethren had fallen, but fortunately WAR knew someone who could change that. The duel was just beginning to get exciting when WAR sensed a presence enter the room.

"Who goes there?"

The shadow did not answer.

"How did you get in here, anyways?"

Again, the shadow did not answer.

"You do realize who I am, right? A flick of the wrist and you're as good as dead."

After a few moments, the shadow responded. "I recognized your foul stench from a mile away. You are WAR, and I will kill you."

WAR snickered. "I'd like to see you try."

The shadow smiled, although WAR could not see it. "Then let us dance the deadly dance." The shadow laid a prerecorded audio track down on the floor where he now stood, then stealthily made his way around the room, so that he was now behind WAR, who still stared ahead.

"Come out of there and fight like a man," challenged WAR, facing in the wrong direction to issue such a challenge.

The audio track responded. "I am sick and tired of your games, WAR. My master and I have labored diligently in our efforts to ensnare you and your brothers in our trap. Months of careful planning are finally paying off."

"I don't know what you're talking about. What master? Who are you?"

"The world will not fall to you. It will not be destroyed. It will survive. We cannot allow you and your petty ambitions to get in the way of our plans. If that means killing PESTILENCE, so be it. If that means killing FAMINE, so be it. If that means killing WAR, so be it."

"WHO ARE YOU? I AM WAR, ONE OF THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE. NO MORTAL CAN SLAY ME. YOU ARE DOOMED. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO, BOY."

"We will kill all three of you without mercy, without regret, without compassion, as you would do the same to us and all others on the planet."

"Three? But... there are four of us."

That was where the track stopped. Now, the shadow answered WAR's question. "Three. Who do you think my master is?"

WAR's face betrayed his horror and fear. He spun around towards the sound of the voice, but it was too late.

The shadow swung his scythe at WAR. It was the last thing the horseman would ever see.



~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, only four were left. Zack, johnhughthom, mayor, Verarde. The only survivors of the bloodbath.

johnhughthom stepped forward towards Zack's pedestal, placing WAR's head down on the ground, then kneeling in respect.

"I have completed the task, master. The horsemen are eliminated. The other... unexpected... threats are eliminated. We have won."

A smile spread of Zack's face, and he began clapping. "Congratulations. You've done it. The killers have been eliminated. The party is safe. The town is safe. We are all safe."

johnhughthom, mayor, and Verarde smiled.

"Now, who's ready to party?"

I'm sure there are Nazis left. I've already stated this at least twice but until I see a massage saying that the Nazis have been eliminated, there will still be Nazis out there.

Ja, und ve are interested in such a zink happenink. Do not vorry, my little non-Aryan one. Our reign shall last for a zousand years anyvay.

Oh, I was really expecting more Nazis

Great game with great hosting, and a nail-biting endgame thanks to the talking dead mechanic, which was very well combined with the secrecy about factions and the no private communication. Simple wonderful.

Congratualations, townies, ve shall meet again. Und ve shall have schtrudel and sing carols.

Zack called for everyone's attention. "One week ago, we rightfully feared for our lives. Infiltrated by enemies ranging from Nazis to three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the town appeared beaten. The battle seemed lost. But we never gave up hope! We kept fighting. We turned the tables, we went all in. We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. We took our town back!"

This was greeted to raucous cheering.

"It couldn't have happened without you three. So thank you, mayor. Thank you, Verarde. Thank you, johnhughthom. And thank you to all of the deceased, who fought the good fight until their bitter end. We couldn't have done it without them, either.

"In related news, this course of events has left me exhausted. I am officially retiring from my post. mayor and Verarde, I hereby appoint you to work together to lead this town. johnhughthom will stay here in my mansion with me, as my personal assistant. Again, thank you for everything. You are free to go."

Verarde and mayor both thanked Zack and wished him well, then exited. After they had left, Zack snapped his fingers...

...And reverted to his true form, as did johnhughthom. Death -- masquerading as Zack -- and Zack -- masquerading, with Death's assistance, as first choxorn, then SamSniped, and finally johnhughthom -- stood side-by-side.

They both walked out of the room, and made their way up onto the roof, where they overlooked the town.

Zack spoke first. "So, where do we go from here?"

Death stood there silently for a moment before he responded. "We initiate the next phase of the plan, Zack. We bring the entire Earth under our control. We do it while shedding as little blood as possible, and make the world into a better place."

Zack nodded. "And then?"

Death turned to look at Zack. "I think you know."

"We take back Heaven?"

Death turned his head again, resuming his previous stance of staring forward. His voice became quiet. "We take back Heaven."

Elijah was finally able to speak with God.

"Father, there is something I need to tell you."

God looked at his most loyal and successful servant. "What is it?"

Elijah's face took on an even more serious expression. "After I completed the mission, I ran into someone. A man, a strange man. He told me to give you a message: 'z4ckdabeast is coming.'"

God's face grew dark. "My greatest fear has finally come true, then. He is returning. Oh, no, no, no... This is bad. This is awful, Elijah."

"Who exactly is he?" asked Elijah.

God shook his head in despair before answering the question. "z4ckdabeast is very old, and very powerful. Perhaps even as powerful as I. However, no one knows him by that name anymore except myself. You probably recognize him by a different name."

Elijah's curiosity raged. "Who, Father?"

God took a breath. "Death. z4ckdabeast is Death, Elijah. And he is returning."

Elijah was speechless.

God continued. "And this time, I'm not sure who will win."

Seriously? What the hell, you guys?
