Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Oh, d'oh. I misremembered.
I was the host and you got annoyed with me putting you two together again, and I thought that's what she said.
i also implied it was icicle's revenge, not yours, therefore if she actually did that she would be crazy lel

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
and if I was on the mayor's side (even as a weapon) which if I killed you guys I would be, why was I killed?

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Noooo, Pidgey!
Oh, they also killed my son I guess.
...
Oh well, gonna get a new one or something.
It says right in the chapter itself that the assassins get eliminated themselves after they are done.

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Ive just now been designed that way
No matter what I try
I cant help but hurt those close to me
And I cant see a way out this time
...These arent my hands
These icicles take their place...
Anyway, I needed you to die at the same time as the Marios (the murders are chronological going by the plaque: Ghost Jam's narration's jumping around for dramatic effect for his two listeners), and icicles have always struck me as the perfect way to murder someone without leaving a trace - and by that point, Starlow was trying to be discrete, hoping to avoid sparking more high-profile cheese factory or 'Shroom incidents, so she'd definitely want to make use of such a sneaky weapon. Maybe she blackmailed you into it, who knows.
How she quietly disposed of Bop is also a mystery, as are the gory details of whatever happened to LN1, and she also left the failed assassination attempts on me off the plaque (more for pride than discreteness, however, probably) - so whatever unfortunate sacks she sent before Edo are also up to the imagination (for now). Her desire to keep her peacekeeping low profile more often than not (except for strategically showy executions involving Mario himself) is why she has all her operatives killed after the job - or during it, as in the case of Shadowshy, since she knew full well that he couldn't kill Ghost Jam. There also might've been more deaths not touched on here: the bottom row(s) of the plaque weren't shown in detail, after all. Perhaps Roserade died in the SSG battle too, maybe Dippy.
Maybe
even
(The exposition continues even after the side-chapter ends. It just keeps hapening. I should throw in some rainbow gradients for good measure too. Oh wait.)

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Well
That is interesting.
Now I think of it, it appears my character hasn't done discreditable things as of this point in time. Kind of fits, I usually don't do much stuff when worlds around me change in this way I guess.
Though I wonder; if Mario and Starlow kind of press on the inhabitants, why don't they (the latter) sneak away to a far away place or something? Why stay?

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave.
This is in effect in the comic, but turned up to 11. After all:
No one turns their back on Mario while Starlow's around. Or else.
If there is a party thrown at the same time as a Mario Party, then its attendants might not be on the plaque at that moment... but they will be.Duke Devlin said:

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
I know why the murder happened.
It's obvious. Clearly Icemario was happy to have been accepted into SMB's secret club, and he wanted IcicleRain to become a member too. So he convinced SMB to invite her as well. But then SMB put "Iciclerain" onto the invitation by accident. Enraged and horrified by this grave incident, IcicleRain then murdered everyone in the secret club and Icemario too because he didn't correct SMB.
Little did she know that the office of mayor controls the postal service and that the "accidental misspelling incident" was just a fabrication.
A tragic tale.

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Now the only question left is, why did Shadowshy become the office of the mayor's assassin too...

Oh yeah, forgot to say that (in my head) Bop was trying to leave the corruption and murder behind (walking off into the sunset with his hair blowing all dramatically like a boss), but ended up checking out in a different way than what he intended.Walkazo said:

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Well, you're saying "while Starlow is around". While shy is quite a powerful character, I doubt she can always be around everything. Magical balls with feet need sleep too if I'm not mistaken.

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Does she really? She's a star sprite, a magical star being thingamabob, who knows if she sleeps.
Also, there are ways to turn a population against itself to make supervision and control much easier. You can give some citizens privilegues for ratting out dissidents and stuff like that, and eventually everyone will be watching everyone else FOR the government. East Germany loved employing techniques like that back when it was still isolated.

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
it wasn't just rewards, it was also punishment (more like some combination of the stick and carrot method). citizens would be rewarded if they caught someone but also punished if they had failed to report someone who was against the government
if they just had rewards, it would be too easy to just let dissidents go about their business. but if you know you're going to get in trouble as well, it's harder to allow them to continue when your family is threatened

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"
Well, in a twisted sense, the absence of punishment pretty much is a reward too if you live in such a hellhole.
But yeah, the general point is that there are ways to keep the population under control.
