And now part 12 of the Traitor Game Essentials re-presentation of Traitor Game VI: Back to Basics. In our last installment, Ukyo said ""Shrike and Darth Vader are safe, though. They won't choose to kill someone who's close to being banished."
Is Ukyo right? Or is she wrong? Read below to find out.
"Well if I've inspired you then everything I've been through up to this point will have been worth it. Don't second guess yourself about your vote Jeff. Leaders need to make decisions in times of crisis. Its important to be confident and stick to those decisions so your followers feed off that confidence. From what I've heard both Vader and Shrike are evil. Whichever of them is banished will be worth it. If one of them turns out to be a traitor then its a great win for the non-Traitors." |
"I bet there's probably some comic book, movie or anime featuring me on your world, Jeff." Ukyo said with a smile. "Hmm...maybe it's called [U]Ukyo Kuonji, Okonomiyaki Cook Extraodinaire![/U]" Ukyo waited a bit, and then laughed. "Just kidding. I bet I'm only a supporting player in whatever book or something I'm a character in where you come from."[/QUOTE] "Ha ha ha, who knows maybe you are one of the most famous characters in Japanise animation and I'm just not familiar with you. I may have to look you up and find out... if I make it out of here alive" |
"All kidding aside, I really don't know what an anime or anything in which I'm a character would be called." Ukyo said. "But everything that happens where I live seems to revolve around Ranma, somehow. I mean, he's got three fiancees, myself included, he's got people showing up out of nowhere to challenge him to fights, and he's got this weird curse I'm not sure you want to know about." "On top of that, his father seems to be responsible for EVERYTHING that's gone wrong in Ranma's life...and the lives of those around him. If it weren't for Genma Saotome, Ranma wouldn't be engaged to both me and Akane Tendo at the same time. And he wouldn't have got that curse, or run into Shampoo either. That Genma makes Homer Simpson look like a Father of the Year candidate." Ukyo sighed, and smiled. "I'm sure you can look it up if you ever get back to your own world." |
|
She turned to the others. "I'm still wondering what happened to that Dentarthurdent. But maybe we've been going about it the wrong way. Maybe instead of waiting for him to show up, we should go looking for him. It's possible he's gotten lost somewhere in the castle and needs our help." "Maybe some of us should form search parties and try to find him. At least it'll give us something to do other than just sit and wait for the results." |

[COLOR="Red"]"Maybe some of us should form search parties and try to find him.

"[B]Indeed so. It pains me to have never met the valiant warrior.[/B]" |
|
[COLOR="Navy"]Ok, now. I may have gotten a little out of hand. Anyway, Ukyo, I was just warning you because it happened to myself as well. I had Rorscach "pinned to the wall" with more than enough people voting for him. Then, before he gets banished, I get chopped up into pieces. So it's just a remind that if you look too closely, they might want you knocked off. Well, onto the search parties. Anybody need an extra person?[/COLOR]

Ukyo arrived. "I searched just about everywhere I could think of. I searched the Main Hall, the living quarters, the halls, the courtyard, that place where I found the Hitchhiker's DVD, the dining room, the kitchen. I even checked the freezer. All I found there was the remains of some blasted Doombot that looked like it had just been at a party or something." Ukyo sighed. "I guess we'll find out what happened to Dentarthurdent soon enough." |
[COLOR="Green"]Who have you fools chosen?[/COLOR] Captain America: We believe that [B]Darth Vader[/B] is one of the traitors! (Patriotic music begins to play with the American flag appearing behind Captain America) As a congregation it is our right to vote in a fair and just manner. That is why I believe that voting as a democracy is the most logical way to go. Although he was not one who I wanted banished, at least in this case, it was the proper solution when we are in an environment where do not know who our enemies are. You see, as our forefathers in the United Sta— [COLOR="Green"]Ok! I get it! It is done. I have always hated it when you do those long-winded speeches.[/COLOR] Doombot-24601: Nobody does long-winded speeches better than you, my lord. (Dr. Doom obliterates Doombot-24601 after that comment.) [COLOR="Green"]My speeches are interesting and never boring! And for that, you paid the price![/COLOR] Darth Vader: No0o0o0o0! (Darth Vader is banished to Limbo) [COLOR="Green"]Bah! You fools have eliminated one of my Doom Squad members.[/COLOR] A sigh of relief is heard from some of the players. [COLOR="Green"]Do not be so relieved. You were all lucky this round. But remember, there are 2 more Doom Squad members lurking around. And by the looks of it, they do not look to happy. I sense their next kill will be in the near future.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Green"]Meet me in the 3rd Floor Von Doom Dining Facilities. There is something interesting there for you all to see.[/COLOR] Chris Jerico: There’s a 3rd floor? [COLOR="Green"]Yes...Yes there is.[/COLOR] Arriving in the dining room, the group meets with Dr. Doom. James Bond: Ok, Doom. Why have you brought us to your dining room. [COLOR="Green"]Well Mr. Bond, I just wanted to show you all my newest cuterly equipment. Watch as these new knives cut through even the hardest items. And these knives come in so many different varities! Look at this magnificent fillet knife. I am filleting the fillet![/COLOR] Spider-Man: Alright Chef Tony. Is there a point to this? [COLOR="Green"]Why yes, Spider-Man. You see these knives were supplied by my Doom Squad with the help of their latest victim…[B]the Shrike[/B]! With the help of my mini-EMP, the Shrike was completley short-circuited rendering it inert. It only took a matter of seconds for my team to smash the Shrike into bits. Oh, and by the way, the Shrike was one of the Living Tribunal’s Secret Avengers! HAHAHAHAHA! Voting begins![/COLOR]
To the last Secret Avenger: Please send your next guess anytime before the voting deadline. There are a good number of people who have not voted for 2 straight rounds. As per the new guidelines, if they fail to vote for a 3rd consecutive round, then they will be eliminated by the traitors. As much as I hate to do it, I will have to send them an additional PM warning them that they are close to forfeiting the game. |
Kassad: Well, looks like The TechnoCore had The Shrike backed up and ready to go. Lucky for me I guess. I still get to talk. |
[i]The banishment had gone well. I was proven correct when, by mere chance, Darth Vader was eliminated. I felt pretty decent about this. Then, after we gathered in the 3rd floor dining room, the tragic news of the Shrike's death came. We learned he was one of the Secret Avengers. New thoughts entered my mind. Soon enough, I would reveal them.[/i] |
"No wonder you never showed up for dinner," Ukyo said, addressing Dr. Doom regardless of whether or not he was still in the room. She assumed he could hear her either way. "You had another dining room on the third floor." As the group gathered back in the Main Hall, Ukyo sighed. "I guess we're back to square one now. Both Vader AND the Shrike are gone. And here I thought the other one would still be around after the banishment." Ukyo shrugged. "Guess you can't ever really know what's going to happen next here." |
Kenshiro: So Doctor Strange was correct, well, I guess I WAS WRONG aobut the God Doctor. ;Cracks Kunckles.; Oh I am gonig to enjoy this, you cyborg freak. Darht; Hey, wait a minute, I cna change, will you forgiv eme. Kenshiro: NO!!!
ANounncer; Moutain Splitting Wave!

I wuz astonished dat quillface weren't da traitor-- he wuz onea' da good guys! I guess I should know bettah since mosta dese bums wouldn't know I was da woistest villain evah! (ooc: *cough*yeahright*cough*) Unfoh-tu-nately, dis means da odds are against us! Two bad guys left an' only one good guy! I decided ta stop pussy-footin' around-- so I found some old shoes. Den I pulled out a deerstalkah cap an' a pipe --from where? Don' ask... where do any cartoon charactahs wittout clothes pull stuff from? Anyhow, I decided da costume change'd help me t'ink. Ta 86 da livin' pincushion, da bad guys used a borrowed MP3... or some'tin ta discombobulate ol spikeface before he went all ta pieces. Mebbe my t'eory wuz right an' some a' da otha crimes wuz wit' borrowed stuff... Hmm... if Jessie, James, an' I wanna get close enough ta da twoip ta take his Pikachu-- we use a disguise! I bet whoevah else is da baddie-baddie here is tryin' deir hahdest ta act all goody-goody... but who? Hrm. Ukyo- she's my friend. She's out. I refuse ta believe she could do any such t'ing. She's been honest wit' me so far an' I gotta respect dat. Not ta mention, she's been da most vocal of alla' us. I t'ink if she wuz bad, she wouldn't talk so much-- or otha-wise, she could give herself away. Captain America- ol' Blue might do it. Dat dinnah plate looks awfully sharp. Plus he tends ta be rather bossy. Still, a lotta dese guys seem ta know him. I don't t'ink anyone could ACT dat corny. I t'ink he's on da up an' up too... Beta Ray Bill- ....he looks like one'a dose Digimon. I don't trust Digimon. Columbo- where'd he go? Hm. Fer a detective, he ain't questioned ev'ryone... but he questioned a few of 'em. Wuz it 'cuz he's doin' his job? Or wuz it ta find weaknesses? Plus, no one's questioned HIM... hm. Doctah Strange- Hm. Not only is dis mug s'posedta be really powahful, he could prob'ly use magic ta frame any o' us. He claims ta not use dark magic, but if he's really a baddie-baddie, ain't dark magic what bad guys use?-- er... when dey're magicians anyhow... Prez- Like Columbo, he made a point ta go around an' shake ev'ryone's hand-- well, not EV'RYONE-- *hmph* No one pays attention to da talkin' kitty! Dat's why I vote independant! Otha than that, he's been talkative like Ukyo an' don't seem skilled enough ta use even borrowed stuff. I don't see him bein' capable or mean enough ta do anyone in. Den dere's da othas... Jade, Moon Knight, um... Mumbly Joe, er... Old Man Willohsby who dressed up like da Ghost Clown ta scare ev'ryone away from his countahfeit opah-ration.... uh... Pikachu(?) ...well, I fergit! But still, I can't rule dem out. Even da statue-still ones dat I drew mustaches on. Well, one thought crossed my mind. "No mattah how confused I am, I'm still better at dis den dat Officah Jenny." |

[B]"Dr.Strange."[/B][/QUOTE] Ukyo was surprised. "Why did you choose Dr. Strange?" she asked Jade. "Okay, I thought Dr. Strange might have been a good choice for the person who set up the Shrike. But he defended the Shrike. It was as if he knew that in this case, the Shrike didn't do it." "I don't think Dr. Strange is one of the Traitors. Now that both Darth Vader and the Shrike are out of this, I don't know who to pick any more. We've still got a number of good suspects to choose from." Ukyo noticed that Meowth was nearby muttering to himself. It looked like he was trying to think about what had just happened. She wondered just what he was thinking. |
"Hi, Ukyo. I nevah woulda guessed dat Cap'n Porkypine (Shrike) wuz on da good guys' side. Now I'm worried. What if we accidentally lose da last helpah in dealin' wit' da otha' two villains? I wish dere wuz more clues. Especially since when da squad guys offed Pricklepuss dey used dat nasty MP3 t'ingy a' Doom's. I don't t'ink dere were any clues... unless dat gen'ral whoziwhats knows some'tin. Did he say any'tin' before da livin' pincushion went ta da big cutlery woild in da sky?" |
"If we remember correctly, being a Sorcerer provides Strange with powers from both ends of the spectrum, both benevolent and malevolent. Therefore, he could have just as easily transported Shrike's victims to the aforementioned tree of pain. To add on, the mistake the traitors made of putting dead victims on the Tree of Pain as opposed to Live Victim's proved that someone wasn't doing their research. Sure Strange may ahve helped make the pivotal descision, however, this could be a set-up to get the blame off of him. Too add on, with his past experiences of being a surgeon, he could have given good Vader some guidance on the deaths of vivisection and the skinning." |
Captain America, Beta Ray Bill, and Moon Knight, all colleagues, had voted against Shrike. At least one could have been a member of the Doom Squad. My other two active colleagues, Mantis and Spider-Man, voted their own ways, separate from either group. And, lastly, there were the two I knew the least about. The Undertaker and Meowth had both voted for Shrike. There were just too many variables. I decided to await the Secret Avenger's guess and the return of the Rogue Watcher, who had been absent of late. I hoped those two actions could make things a little clearer. If not, I would just have to guess.[/i] |
"Hi, Ukyo. I nevah woulda guessed dat Cap'n Porkypine (Shrike) wuz on da good guys' side. Now I'm worried. What if we accidentally lose da last helpah in dealin' wit' da otha' two villains?

However, she sincerely doubted that the Shrike had 'gone to that big cutlerly world in the sky'. Such a phrase implied he was in Heaven. And Ukyo doubted that a creature like that could ever go to Heaven. The Shrike seemed more like a demon summoned from some hellish dimension. "You're talking about Kassad, right? He practically outed Shrike as one of the Secret Avengers. I'd say that was a dumb move, but it's one of the reasons I changed my vote. That, and Dr. Strange's being so sure the Shrike was being set up." "I can't remember anything else Kassad might have said that might be important." Ukyo tried to think. "Except that he and the Shrike suspected Dante and Darth Vader. That's about it." |

I'll let'cha in on somet'in-- I soiched da mansion a bit, but didn't really find nuthin'. I'm guessin' dat dis Doom guy eithah keeps da dangerous stuff locked up, or simply don't keep it here. Aftah all, why would he keep anyt'in here we could use against him? If Doctah Doom does give his gang some help in da way o' weapons, he may be usin' his powahs ta get it to 'em-- or he could have his doodads locked up or hidden somewhere away from any a' us. I hope we find out da otha' traitahs soon. I bet my friends back home miss me..."
meanwhile in the Pokemon world... Jessie: ...James... that dress just doesn't do a thing for you. It's completely atrocious. James: Quiet! It's very slimming! Besides, it matches these pumps I bought! Jessie: .... Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!!! *salutes*
"Let's t'ink here. Wuzn't Robo-Hedgehog purty tough? Who coulda fashioned Sir Spikiness inta knives for Doom's housewares collection? Da way I see it, mebbe magic was da key... But I ain't sure yet. If Doctah Strangeoid wuz keen on protectin' da Prickly-bot, den mebbe dey're bot' on da same side..." "I wuz also ovah dere t'inkin' dat maybe if I wuz dis baddie, I'd disguise myself as someone extra-nice an' get ta know as many folks as I can. Dat Pez guy and uh... Rumpled Coat skin, da detec-a-tive went around ta a lotta folks-- wuz dey bein' friendly, tryin' ta find da traitah, or mebbe lookin' fer weaknesses? I ain't been dis upset an' confuzzled since I hoid about dat 'Monstah Ranchers' show." |

Maybe I should italicize his thoughts or something. It can be hard to muddle through his accent AND pick up on whether he's thinking, daydreaming, talking, or having an episode.) BIC: "Oh... no harm done, pal. It ain't so much slavah-ry. Al'tho, I do know dis twoipy kid who has enslaved a Pikachu.

(Begins reading the recap of the game) [COLOR="Indigo"]Ha! So, one of the traitors have been found! This is most delightful news! It can only get better because I now activate my Vigilante to strike justice to the Doom Squad![/COLOR] RW's Assistant, Donald: Uh boss? I think you forgot to read the second page. [COLOR="Indigo"]What? (Re-reads page 2) WHAT?!?!?!?! My Vigilante has been killed off before he could do anything?! What a damn crock! Nevertheless, I shall just appoint a new vigilante and---[/COLOR] (Cell Phone rings) [COLOR="Indigo"]Hold on a sec. Hello? Ah greetings, Living Tribunal. What's that? WHAT?!?! I cannot appoint a new vigilante? Well that blows.[/COLOR] (Hangs up phone) [COLOR="Indigo"]Well it seems, there will be no new vigilante for the game. Nonetheless, the Rogue Watcher Report will continue. And for this report, I call front and center [U][SIZE="3"]Captain America & Jeff-E[/SIZE][/U]! Plead your innocence![/COLOR][/QUOTE] "I wish I hadn't been right about that one." Ukyo said with a sigh. She noted the Rogue Watcher had chosen two people to plead their innocence this time. She wondered why. Normally, he only called up one person at a time. She remembered something she had read about the Rogue Watcher in that Traitor Game book Beta Ray Bill had found. Was he REALLY responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs and the apparent decline in quality of that American Simpsons TV show? She didn't understand the rest of his backstory at all. Who were J.R., Superboy-Prime, and those other people? What 'Clone Saga' were they talking about? The minds behind the book clearly expected the reader to already know. She did understand the part about nepotism, though. Apparently, the Rogue Watcher and his assistant Donald both owed their present positions to the fact that they were related to the right people. She had a lot of questions to ask the Rogue Watcher, but she didn't want to get in the way of his job. He had come for Captain America and Jeff-E this time. Besides, she was interested to find out how they would respond. She sat and waited. OOC: I recognized all of the cultural references in the 'Secret Origin of the Rogue Watcher', even though Ukyo didn't. So don't feel you have to explain 'The Clone Saga', 'Retcon Punches', or any of the other items to me. I'd rather not have to try to explain them to anyone myself. :) |
However, that trust vanished when Mantis looked back at Jade. [COLOR="green"]"In This One's life, the greatest dangers came from those who weren't necessarily the greatest power in and of themselves. They knew how to patiently manipulate their victims, and possessed the technology to bring their schemes to fruition."[/COLOR] With a disdainful expression, Mantis said, [COLOR="green"]"Again, This One names [b]Jade[/b] as one of the traitors."[/COLOR] |

Now that's continuity! :) EDIT: For those curious here is the Secret Origin of the Rogue Watcher from the 4th Traitor Game. [quote=Secret Origin of the Rogue Watcher] And now the Secret Origin of the Rogue Watcher Dude (Yes, that is his first name. But don't dare bring it up!) comes from the omnipotent alien beings known as the Watchers. As many know, they swore under a solemn oath to never interfere with the universe, only observe. However, the Rogue Watcher hated this idea. He decided to rebel against that idea. First he grew out a goatee. Then, he grew a mohawk. But then he did the one thing that pissed off his race. He began interfering with the universe......alot. Here is a shortlist of the many things the Rogue Watcher is responsible for: 1. Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and just about anybody who has a confusing history 2. The death of the dinosaurs 3. The Clone Saga ('Nuff Said) 4. The decline of quality episodes of [I]The Simpsons[/I] 5. Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown getting married. 6. Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown getting divorced. 7. Eric Clapton shooting the sheriff, but not the deputy. 8. Kristin Shepard shooting J.R. 9. He was responsible for giving Superboy-Prime the idea of the 'Retcon Punch' 10. Sins Past (Again...'Nuff Said) And the list goes on.... The Watchers grew tired of his constant interference and agreed on exiling him. Unfortunately, they could not strip him of his powers because he was the nephew of their leader, 'The One' (Nepotism can do that to you!). Currently, the Rogue Watcher travels multiple universes interfering in events nobody wants him in. So if you see him, you're kind of stuck with him...[/quote] |

Ukyo asked. "I've heard of a Digimon TV show. People said it was a ripoff of the Pokemon show you're a character from in my universe." "I don't think Beta Ray Bill's a Digimon, but I don't know what he is. I think he's some sort of alien from another planet. All I really know is that he has super-powers and Dr. Doom likes to make jokes about the way he looks. I suppose we could ask him what he is and where he's from." "But Meowth, I'm not sure if he has much of a sense of humor. Be careful what you say to him." |
RUMINATIONS:Well, I'm sure Ukyo's probably not the only one who didn't see the twist at the end of the voting round coming. As for Digimon, I'm still not very familiar with that show so I can't really say if there are more similiarities to Pokemon besides the 'mon' on the end of their names.
As for the Rogue Watcher, I think he's probably a case of Characterization Marches On. While above it seems to imply that he meddles for the sake of meddling, in later games he ended up being more heroic, organizing a team of heroes to combat the Limbo Legion. But that's a story for another time.
