Chapter 1 was here Chapter 2 was here Chapter 3, part 2 is here Chapter 3, part 3 is here Chapter 3, part 4 is here Chapter 3, part 5 is here Chapter 3, part 6 is here The epilogue is here- Location: Tabloid Town
- Time: A few days later
- Objective: ...this'll take a tad longer to explain. Gather round, people. *spreads a map on the table*
Tabloid Town has been divided between two warring mafia syndicates (well, this particular map is from my old German textbook, but it serves its purpose >>). Ever since the merging of the two original syndicates, the blue blocks are under Rider's and Rikku's command and protection. The yellow blocks are under Carrie's and Hunty's command and protection. You, as our trusted hitmen, are going to defend your don's blocks or attack the enemy's blocks, however you wish.Current objective: find the Editor, dead or... deader. Da Rules: - Everyone has one move per stage, obviously. Keep an eye on the title to learn the current stage. Each stage lasts for about two days, but it might change depending on the activity level. - To make a move, post on this thread along the lines of, cue example: 'Stage 3, attack: Barber's' or 'Stage 5, defend: Butcher's'. You get the picture. - You don't have to post your real move, however. If you want, you can PM our friendly local neutral Swiss party, aka Scar (and no, it means that he's completely fair and unbiased, not that he's soft and full of holes >>) If you don't, and post here, he'll take the post into account. If you post and send him a PM, or just send a PM, he'll take the PM into account as the real move. - If a block gets more attackers than defenders, it gets taken over by the other family. - Four of the blocks have +4 defense, as you can see. Those are extra-sweet ones, generating extra-big income, are guarded better, and thus harder to take over. The defense means that even if no players defend the block, it still remains guarded against up to four attackers. - Scar tallies the score at the end of each stage and the map gets updated accordingly with new turf status, plus anonymous results about attackers and defenders. - The idea is to take over the town, ofcourse x3 Feel free to ask questions in case I forgot to cover/specify something >>; Scar Edit: Please send ze PMs to me, Monsieur Scar Dessan of ze Swiss Foundation, in this format: <stage> <allegiance> <actions (attack/defend)> <block location> ResultsStage 1: Don Hunty gained Hardware Store. Stage 2: Don Hunty gained Pizzeria, Car Shop. Don Carrie gained Pet Shop, Barber's Stage 3: Don Hunty gained Sports Club, Pet Shop, Pharmacy, Barber's.

[glow=red,2,300]Ahh, this'll be good. Come on, Carrie, do your worst.
Stage 1: Rider of Don Hunty's, defending the Pet Shop. Them puppies need defendin'.
A girl in a red cape wanders through the aisles looking at the puppies. Her mind is elsewhere, on the streets, around the corners, through the secret back doors and into the heart of the city.
The shopkeep was a sincere young woman, early 20's at most. Behind Rider, she leaned over a birdcage. A cockateil approached and playfully nipped at the fingers she stuck into the cage. All was quiet.[/glow]

((Umm, if I'm not mistaken, Huntress, but wasn't Goosh killed in the mansion (before the explosion occurred)?))

((Umm, if I'm not mistaken, Huntress, but wasn't Goosh killed in the mansion (before the explosion occurred)?)) Maybe, but that doesn't affect the story. It works on the same purpose as computer games. No matter what you do in the game, cutscenes stay the same.

Man, I can't believe I forgot about that))

This looks good ^^ Stage 1 - Attack Clothes Store It took a while, but you managed to convince every single business in Tabloid Town to pay allegiance to Huntress.
"I'm blaming you if I'm too late to save Azzie," you say grumpily as you hand over the deeds to Tabloid Town.
She shrugs. "Seems like you'd be the one to blame for taking a long time, not me."
You open your mouth to retort, but you are too tired to think of a comeback. "Just give me the radioactive bra, please."
"A deal's a (very uneven) deal," she replies, and drops the bra in your outstretched hand. "Pleasure doing business with you."
You received a Radioactive Bra!
Another ingredient, another item checked off the list. Next up was nine pounds of ground tombstones. Tombstones...only one person would have that much. "Seen Komori lately?"
"Sure have. She's been parading her new Korbat around the forum."
You thank Huntress for the information and carry on with your search.

D: Why does Carrie get all the good territory? Pizzeria, night club, movie theatre... Because I let her choose first >>; But I have the bank :3 And the candy shop. Clocky, doesn't much matter xD You still have only one account, and that's what's used to tally the votes here. If you post a different move on the same stage, it won't count.

Oh by the way, are we allowed to attack somewhere that is surrounded by enemy territory? (ie. One of you attacking the movie theatre)
