[Dimitri A. Blaiddyd]

Hosted by:
Ninja Squid (@Lanz), Waluigi Time (@Waluigi Time), and Goombuigi (@Wright Forde 'Shroom)

For details on the gameplay elements, please read our 'Shroom section here.​

---

Rules:

• There are three factions in game: Innocent, Mafia, Independent. The Innocents win by lynching all the Mafia players. The Mafia win by reaching the numerical parity or outnumbering the Innocents. The Independents have their own unique objective they must accomplish to win.
• Day phases will last for 48 hours, and Night phases will last for 24 hours. During Day phases, the players will vote to lynch someone. During Night phases, players may submit their role actions and quest actions. Extensions may be granted if needed.
• Vote should be using the following format: "Vote: Ninja Squid". Unvoting must be formatted as "Unvote". Voting No Lynch is allowed, but will lose in a tie. If multiple players are tied in the final votes for lynching, it will result in a random lynch.
• Role claiming is allowed (saying things like "I am the cop", whether this is true or not), but players should NOT be quoting, taking screenshots or sharing publicly anything of their role card (such as the characters they are portraying or flavor texts), or any messages sent to them by the hosts. If a player is caught doing the following, they will be modkilled immediately.
• Claiming your team or public discussion of the current point totals held by your team (i.e. stating how many points your team currently has or how many more it needs for an upgrade) or claiming your team is not allowed.
• Roleplaying is allowed, but players should make it as least intrusive as possible. This means that players should not be focusing more on the roleplaying aspect than playing the actual game, and making their roleplay easily comprehensive.
• Do NOT delete posts done in the Game Thread. A reminder will be given if you are caught removing content the first time, but you will be modkilled if done repeatedly. Removing if you posted something too early is alright, but please mention it to prevent confusion.
• If you are eliminated, do NOT post or react to posts in the Game Thread. Eliminated players can post in the Lounge Thread or the dedicated Ghost Chatroom. Do NOT reveal any information that could affect the course of the game. However, you can react to post done by the hosts. The same rule applies to spectators.
• Conversations regarding the game should be kept to dedicated game channels (such Game Thread, Ghost Chatroom, etc.) as much as possible. Casual conversations outside these threads are fine, but there should not be any form of speculations done outside channels created by the hosts.
• Players cannot interact with other players via PMs, unless there are dedicated channels created by the hosts for this purpose.
• Activity will be required in this game. If you sign up for this game, you must participate. We are not expecting anyone to be available at all the time, but at least posting at the very least once or twice per phases and submitting your night actions is recommended. If you have been inactive for a complete Day/Night cycle, we will be sending a reminder, and further inactivity will force us to remove you from the game. Hence, please be communicative. If you need to drop out of the game, send a message to the hosts.

The arrival of the new members of the ‘Shroom Congress was going wonderfully. The new members received their new employee cards and a map showing all the rooms of The 'Shroom HQ to help their whereabouts in the building. They were also given a good chance to meet fellow staffers in their new workplace.

As Goombuigi reunited the congress again in the Court Room for the official presentation of the budget, the lights were starting to flicker. Seeing that it was distracting a few members away from listening, Ninja Squid proceeded to reassure everyone that it was most likely Ukikey Wrench working in the basement for some repairs to the electrical system at the worst possible time. The room calmed down allowing Goombuigi to start doing the presentation. However, this was rather short-lived.

The alarm system started to sound and the lights suddenly went out, leaving only the few security lights on. Ninja Squid was starting to find these strange occurrences quite annoying. He then told to the congress members that it was most likely an incident, which could quickly be resolved. He advised Goombuigi to keep going on with the presentation of the budget, while he and Waluigi Time were going out to investigate what happened. Looking at the ninja while he was walking outside of the Court Room, you could sense how he was upset and getting ready to chastise Ukikey Wrench yet again for the mess.

After being delayed several times, Goombuigi was finally able to start the presentation of the ‘Shroom budget.

Goombuigi

Alright, I'm gonna start the presentation then.

Goombuigi

Ahem … Greetings, members of The 'Shroom Congress! I hope you're having a good day so far. In this presentation, I'm going to outline the ways in which we are planning to use The 'Shroom's budget.

First and foremost, we are considering cutting funding on microphones by 45%, which, in turn, we will use to invest in heaters for the 3rd Floor of The 'Shroom HQ.

Secondly, we are planning to increase the vacation budget for 'Shroom employees by 183%, and scheduling a vacation to Isle Delfino for June 2022. Note: for those wondering why the budget increase was so drastic, most of it was for the luxury cruise liner.

In addition, we are considering doing a bug check of the offices, and buying a large horse to situate in one of The 'Shroom HQ's rooms. Lastly, Morton Construction is in the process of construction of building a dog playground.

Goombuigi

These are our budget plans thus far. Please let me know if you support the budget, and if you have any opposition to the budget plans.

~From the Desk of El Presidente~​

Of course I support your support of this budget, Presidente. And might I add, it was truly an impressive idea to use the vacation budget increase to divert some extra funding to your swiss bank account. It is important a great man like you always have a little something tucked away!

"Detective" Luigi: Mm. I got my employee card.

"Detective" Luigi: ...Yuri, are you sure about this?

Yuri: Well, sir, if I had to pick a smart, handsome, and charming detective to investigate here, it would be you!

"Detective" Luigi: Aha, you're right. Thanks, Yuri.

Yuri: Anything for you, Stud!

"Detective" Luigi: ...what was that last part?

Yuri: SIR! SIR! I SAID "SIR!"

"Detective" Luigi: Ah, alright. And, uh, by the way, Mr. Goombigi, sir? One, I like the name. And two, I've got some changes to propose to that budget plan of yours. I'll share 'em in a sec, okay? Lemme write them down.

[ENA]

Mm hm hm. I thank you for your invitation into the Congress, Your Honor. Unfortunately, I must contend that I oppose the proposed budget. Why is that?

There is not nearly enough money placed on technological innovation! Come now, no investment in furthering the 'Shroom's machinery? Just look at your Vending Machine! A brilliant marvel in invention! We need more like it! I demand to see more robots, more AI, more direction into the future!

Let me help you. As President and CEO of Haltmann Works Company, I can guarantee our finest products and renovation to your 'Shroom HQ. What do you say... native mushroom thing?

 

[Thanos (Car)]

'Ello 'ello 'ello! DCI Heffley here, on loan from er... Bonneton.

Oim 'ere to 'ave a look at your roleplays, alright? If anything don't look right, be that what it may, you'll 'ave me to deal with! Got it? Now, that could range from a number of offences - where's me bloody notebook, ah - such as erm, the "Breach Of Canon act of '98"... "Possession of one or more persons from the 'Ace Attorney' franchise of characters"... "English-Speaking act of 2021"... "Repeat damage to immersion through breaking character"...

Manage to steer clear of all those, and oim an 'appy chappy, aren't I? Now, where's the slasher? 'Aven't 'ad a leak since getting here, and that Greggs coffee has gone straight through me, oi-oi!

 

[Polly]

Ta for the press pass, mates! I'm sure yous won't be disappointed in the quality of work I put out.
...


Strewth! I just realised I haven't even introduced meself yet! Name's Flash Bandicoot. I'm a freelancer, and a bit of an all-rounder in the Aussie Press scene. Footy, politics, entertainment... I reckon I've done it all. So let me tell ya, there'll be no dramas with this newest assignment you've given me... yeah, I'll get this human interest piece done for ya, easy as!

Anyway, I was gonna shoot through to the hotel so I could get the beers on, but if you want my opinion on that budget before I go... I reckon it's a bit iffy, mate. Hardly any of it goes towards helping the bottom line, apart from the bug check, which I reckon is pretty instrumental to make sure the competition ain't listening in to your meetings and pinching all your ideas before you can publish them. Reducing the microphone budget? I know yous are a print paper, but digital media's the path to the future, fellas. If you aren't gonna start doing video and audio content, you're gonna find yourself being outrun by the competition faster than a snail racing a kangaroo. Old mate over there has it right: you gotta invest more in your tech if you wanna make it in today's modern landscape. And what about the rest of it, ay? Super expensive cruise tours, buying a horse just for putting it in a room (you didn't even say which one yous are gonna put it in!) and making a dog playground? Mate, I know it's important to keep up morale, but you gotta keep the main thing the main thing. Hard hitting investigative journalism. Put that cash into rewarding and helping your writers make the articles that no one else is able or willing to write up. Give 'em the resources to set up the interviews and events coverage that'll put you above the competition. Mark my words, mates, if you keep getting off track with this parks department stuff and these expensive cruise tours instead of focusing on what your business is actually about, you're gonna find yourself up the creek without a raft... and bloody oath mate, that creek's full of crocs that'll devour you as soon as you hit the water. Anyway, that's what I reckon. I'll see yas all in the morn at brekky time.

In a dusty saloon in the bad part of town the tall handsome stranger sits sipping a shot of whisky from a dirty glass. A man approaches with a portly belly weasely face and dirty clothes. He sits down by the stranger and says "Buy me a drink stranger" the stranger obliges and the bartender pours another glass of what appears to be corn whisky
The weasel faced man takes the drink before whispering "You red?" Shocking the stranger.
"Ive been sent by Long Hat. Meet me outside in 15 minutes" the man says scurrying away.
The stranger goes outside to meet the mysterious man. "You got what I'm looking for" the man says as the stranger pills out a small bag full of gold coins
GOLD GOLD GOLD" The Weasley man says biting one of the coins to make sure they're real
The sketchy man pulls out an envelope and hands it to Red. "In that envelope is your new identity. New name new id new birth certificate it even has your powers and skills. If you get in trouble don't hesitate to use this information." Explains the man.
"And nobody will be able to tell right?" Asks Red pocketing the envelope
"Trust me Red nobody will be able to tell the difference between this and the genuine article" the man says before slipping away

[Hooded Pitohui]

Master Goombuigi, having received the identification card that makes my transfer to your newspaper's headquarters official, I must respectfully suggest revisions to this budget.

The lack of a uniform budget is distressing. Without a professional appearance for the staff and writers interacting with guests on tours, the reputation of your paper will suffer. Further, Master Superchao and myself will need a greater budged for supplies for the upkeep of the building's appearance. The computer systems of this building failed to pass my white swatch examination. While Master Lakituthequick has kept up with the paper's demands to the best of his abilities, I found traces of... undesirable materials downloaded by careless writers. A full cleaning of the computer systems is in order to protect our vital fil-

Hi nice to meet you

 

[Hobbes]

Finally an easy rp I can do!

OH my Poochy, it's been forever since I was last here

Boy I do love The 'Shroom's HQ. So many good memories inside these walls.

Feels like a lifetime ago that I first walked in, aspiring to become a Fun Stuff writer. Who knew a casual Mystery Images section would turn into hundreds of sections, several staff positions, a couple of directorial stints, and - above all - so many good friends.

But sadly we are not here to walk down memory lane, this is a dangerous place to be in now. This is serious business. It's been almost seven years since we last found ourselves in a similar situation. Last time, after a battle lasting several months, we were able to save ourselves from the mafia - albeit just barely. And definitely costing Stoob his sanity. Three years before that we also managed to make it out alive. But two years prior, under my own watch, in the first ever such attack, we could not defend our newspaper against the mafia. Our own turf. Our home. That was twelve years ago. Some of you were probably babies back then, but I am still haunted by that memory to this day. This is about vengeance. About standing for what is right, defending ourselves, and not letting some thugs take away what is ours. Not letting them take away The 'Shroom. Our 'Shroom. I'M WILLING TO DIE IN THESE OFFICES, IF THAT MEANS DEFEATING THE FORCES OF EVIL THA--

Hello. I am a completely normal man, here to attend your "Shroom" meeting.

I am definitely not a mind flayer in disguise. What would cause you to think such a thing?

That brain of yours does look rather juicy though... may I try a bit?

It was a dark and stormy night.

It was very dark and very stormy.

A giant shadow loomed over the world.
