At a toll booth just outside the city, Sonny steps forward to pay, unaware of the danger lurking just yards from him.

The bullets fly. Sonny’s body gesticulates wildly, though he fights to find his gun with one hand, and the New Glarus IPA he’s just purchased with the other. In the end, he gets his hand on what he wants.

The beer goes through him and pours out of every exit wound, a la Looney Tunes, and Sonny drops to the ground dead.

“Full of beer, he was. Is very inspirink,” says one Russian.

“Eh, should have been vodka,” the other avers coldly.

The Dread Pirate

Since you’re used to a 9pm Central end time in this one, that’s where it’s going to stay.

Note that I’ll be at work for a large portion of today. After the first hour or so here, I’ll be gone until about 6:30pm Central. Gather votes if they need gathering, and I’ll do my damnedest to check in at slow moments to see if a majority has been reached.

***IT IS DAY***

The Dread Pirate stepped out of the coffee shop after finishing up a few good novels and several dozen cups of coffee. The books had been entertaining, but he was somehow not satisfied. As he reached the curb, a shot rang out from the building above, slamming into his chest. Luckily, he had copies of the entire “Wheel of Time” series, along with Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” and Neal Stephenson’s “Cryptonomicon”, which managed to stop the flight of the bullet (apparently, he had large and numerous pockets in his coat).

Here we go: one of the favorite challenges of players, and a very fitting one considering all you horrible bastards.

This will make us three-quarters of the way through the eliminations, kids! With just four challenges left, has the game started yet? I mean, I get that this is the game we’ve got, but I know some of us are hankering for surprises.

“Hey, guys! Can I come too?” implores Spookymilk giddily. The shadowy retreating figures glance back in surprise. “Какого черта ты здесь делаешь?!?” they exclaim. “Меня?” Spooky responds.

Spooky’s almost inaudible moans emerge from his sewn shut mouth (stuffed full of Crazy Ivan’s Sausages) as he lays, stunned from the 6 story drop and immensely pained by the carving of “доносчик!” in his chest. The mafia, surprised at his resiliency, decide that taking off both his legs with a rusty knife should finish him off. After all, this snitch has seen plenty of abuse tonight.

For many years, the mafia and the law abiding citizenry co-existed peacefully, with money flowing in one direction and “protection” going in the other.  Then, for no readily apparent reason (it was an election year), the government decided to wage a full out war against the mafia to “clean up our city!”  The mafia, responding in kind, vowed that if they were going down, the city was going down with ‘em!  As is typical, the government, after causing a problem, decided that the best way to solve it would be a filibuster followed by a presidents day week-long recess, leaving the populace to deal with the enraged mafia.

All we know now is that mbnovak has mysteriously vanished and the sausage at Crazy Ivan’s Meat House tastes decidedly off.

Survivors, again, you amaze. Thank you for this strong writing season. Did triumph tragedy over tragedy, or did tragedy triumph?

Seems like nobody knew who was setting it up.

Good morrow, gentle Survivors. I stress “gentle” since you’ve all played such an annoyingly straightforward game so far. I guess that’s fine, but it has whetted my appetite for the insanity of past games – most notably the mistakes players have made that led to either their demise or great embarrassment.

With nearly ten full games in the books, here’s a list for your enjoyment.
