Suddenly, a majority was reached: the town was to kill Killthestory. Or, at least, the entity formerly known as Killthestory. The townspeople were relatively sure they were just lynching a social construct, but the thought of this mostly just made them dizzy and a little itchy, so they tried not to dwell on it too much.

In place of Killthestory, a book burned at the stake. Everyone thought it was a great visual pun, and it definitely smelled better than a burning person.

The worst part about violent vigilante justice was definitely the awkward silence that followed afterward, when everyone realized that yeah, they just killed someone and yeah, they kind of sucked as people.

Well, it usually was. Today, a female voice pierced the silence:

"Wellllll wasn't that fun, Titus who is definitely my scumbuddy in crime?"

It was nancy, who had walked up to Titus and placed her arm around her shoulder.

Titus uncomfortably looked at nancy out of the corner of her eye. "This is how I die, isn't it? Under the collapse of bias and misunderstanding."

nancy laughed. "Wow, Titus, you're so profound! I was thinking something along the lines of 'with a knife in your back'!"

Then, Titus felt a sharp pain in her side (nancy's aim was pretty shitty). And then again. And again.

As she laid broken on the ground, she gasped her final words: "So many vote counts...I will never see..."

Everything had happened so fast. He wasn't sure if he would wake up the next morning, but at least he could die knowing he was right.

Dunnstral suddenly realized he was very, very wrong.

Then, he felt cold metal on the back of his neck, and he realized he was about to be very, very dead.

"Who was it?" He figured that if he was going to die, he wanted to know the truth, the conclusion to this bizarre mystery.

A quiet voice answered: "nancy."

"Oh, fuck off." He turned to face his assailant. "You...I knew it. I was right about you."

In front of him stood bangthemafia.

bangthemafia smiled. "Well, that means you were half right...and that's still a failing grade."

Then there was a bang, and one more townsperson was dead.

---
If he had to admit it to himself, Cloudkicker actually liked the brutality of town mobs. They were entertaining, someone usually brought food, and they really increased his chances of winning the gardening competition next month.

They were less fun when illicit organizations took control of the proceedings.

"Nemo!" proclaimed Cloudkicker. "You are a bad mefia fish!"

bangthemafia turned away from Dunnstral's corpse, his gun now pointed at the man in front of him.

"Oh, Cloudkicker," he said, "you almost had us...too bad no one listened."

"I died as I lived," said Cloudkicker solemnly. "By the mefia."

bangthemafia paused awkwardly. "You, uh...you sure you want those to be your final words?"

Cloudkicker stared silently at him for a couple of seconds, and then rolled his eyes and nodded forcefully.

"Um, okay. You do you."

Another gunshot rang through the town, and then only four remained.

gigabyteTroubadour stood shellshocked as they watched their neighbors fall. With each death, the truth became so terribly clear.

Now they understood how wrong they really were.

"Prince...you can't be..." they stammered, their eyes fixed on the robed figure in front of them.

Prince Lyon's face betrayed no emotion.

gigabyteTroubadour collapsed at Prince Lyon's face. "This can't be true! It's impossible," they cried as they clutched the feet of his robes.

Again, there was no reply.

"I...I...fuck, I killed a penguin for you, Prince..."

Slowly, a wicked smile formed on Prince Lyon's face.

He knelt down so that his face was level with theirs. gigabyteTroubadour felt the sharp edge of a blade against their neck.

Finally, Prince Lyon spoke.

"Thank you."

And then everything was dark.

Oh my GOD, looks like I am late for the party! I am in hospital right now so dont have much time to read and comment. But just wanted to say sorry to everyone who trusted me, especially Giga and Cloud. Sorry Cloud, though I was playing for a wincon, it did feel shitty as hell to betray your trust so much.

Arona, amazing write up of the endgame. Very creative and innovative!! The best and most brilliant I have ever seen- not that I have played too much! And with all the melodrama that you created, I literally felt like an evil anti social element.

Having said all this, this was one of the best games I ever played, so thank Arona for all the VCs especially near deadlines.

Will read and comment more soon
