vs. vs.

Otters live their lives happily, playing and loving one another freely. Otters are loved by all, something that inspires bitter envy in ostracized animals. Both sharks and tigers are tired of the favoritism. No on kills otters. No one hates otters.

So they'd just be otters. The tigers dyed their fur brown; the sharks rolled in mud. Independently, the sharks and tigers infiltrated the otter community of Rompville, doing their best to blend in. Ever trusting, the otters of Rompville had always allowed newcomers into their community with open arms. They accepted the new otters, even if they were a bit large, and life resumed as usual.

But sharks and tigers have certain urges and needs that cannot be ignored. Before too long, the perfect peace of Rompville was disturbed...

Here is an example of a town role that may or may not appear in the game:

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, Player X. You are an otter, determined to ferret out those among you who are disturbing the peace of Rompville.

You are

Otterly Adorable

.

You're just a cute little otter, and your one duty as a citizen of Rompville is to vote.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

The game thread is here.

Please confirm via a return PM containing the name of your role.

Rompville was getting along happily with its new citizens.

During the day, everyone played as usual and went to bed tuckered out.

But upon waking the next morning, the otters discovered something terrible.

Someone had killed Trumpet of Doom and IceGuy! They looked gnawed on, almost as if someone had eaten them.

How horrible! Who could have done such a thing?

Trumpet of Doom -

Otterly Adorable

, eaten pre-game.

IceGuy -

Otterly Adorable

, eaten pre-game.

Day 1 dawns over Rompville.

[Amrun]

Guy_Named_Riggs struggled to appear to be an otter.

His playing made him stand out, it seemed. The tigers on island Sumatra, his homeland, just played too vigorously for the otters of Rompville.

Guy_Named_Riggs didn't react well to the criticism of his rough playing, which Rompville thought might be indicative of an underlying violent nature. Guy_Named_Riggs wasn't trying to be rough or violent, though. He was just trying to find a new home, since the people on his island had built an apartment complex over the jungle he was born in. But he got so angry about the accusations that he slipped and revealed his true nature.

After that, he felt so bad that he left Rompville quietly, his head hanging in humiliation.

Guy_Named_Riggs -

Sumatran Tiger, Mafia Goon

- has been lynched Day 1.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 1 begins.

Action submission deadline is Wednesday, February 1st, 9pm EST.

After kicking out a tiger, Rompville felt safe.

They went to bed feeling accomplished and rose to a new day feeling refreshed.

But upon waking, the otters realized their sense of safety was short-lived.

Someone had killed hohum and zMuffinMan! Just like Trumpet of Doom and Ice Guy, someone had eaten them.

Apparently Guy_Named_Riggs wasn't the only nefarious character in their midst.

hohum -

Psychottergist, 1-Shot Psychiatrist

- has been eaten Night 1.



zMuffinMan -

Dr. Otter, Tiger Doctor

- has been eaten Night 1.



Day 2 dawns over Rompville. Deadline is Wednesday, February 15, 11pm EST.

[Amrun]

Nobody Special didn't really feel like part of the group.

Some of the other otters picked on him, and some otters he didn't like at all and just plain avoided.

The Otter Committee convened to discuss him.

They decided that Nobody Special was simply too anti-social. What if it was because he was hiding his nefarious intentions?

The Committee decided to evict him from Rompville, just in case.

Nobody Special was

shocked

that the Committee made such an unjust decision. He decided he would be better off on his own anyway, so he left. All the company he really needed was his teddy bear, and his teddy bear would never evict him.

Nobody Special -

Otterly Adorable

- has been lynched Day 2.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 2 begins.

Action submission deadline is Friday, February 17th, 11pm EST.

[Amrun]

The flavor for Night 2 was lost.

I will eventually cobble something together; in the meantime, here were the flips:

Yosarian2 -

Gourmotter, Poisoner

- eaten Night 2.

kdowns -

Significant Otter, Mason Lover and 1-Shot Shared Matchmaker

- died of ciguatera poisoning Night 2.

Magister Ludi -

Significant Otter, Mason Lover and 1-Shot Shared Matchmaker

- died of a broken heart Night 2.

implosion -

Police Ottficer, Shark Cop

- died of scombroid poisoning Night 2.

Umbrage -

????

- mangled Night 2.

[Amrun]

Fate was playing a bit too hard with the otters. This made the otters immediately wary, after Guy_Named_Riggs, but Fate told a story about how everyone in his family had extra long teeth and liked to play rough. The otters reluctantly bought it, unwilling to evict anyone else after sending Nobody Special away.

But then, something happened to one of the otters Fate had been playing with.

First, they were just playing with a ball, but then...

Only one thing was going through everyone's minds.

Long teeth indeed! Fate tried to argue that it was just his hereditary trait, and that it was an accident, but the Otter Committee didn't buy it. They evicted him.

Once the decision was made, Fate reveled in it.

He was a shark and he hoped all the stupid otters died!

But even Fate couldn't take on all of Rompville by himself. He swam away slowly, let his fine rise above the water in intimidation.

As soon as Fate disappeared over the horizon, Rompville celebrated.

Fate -

Sandbar Shark, Mafia Framer

- has been lynched Day 3.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 3 begins.

Action submission deadline is Sunday, February 26th, 11pm EST.

EXCELLENT NEWS, MEIN SQUARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE AN ARCHIVE.

http://www.mediafire.com/?9h8bq8dewdrjdi4

The above is what was recovered via Google Cache and my personal computer caches. Unfortunately, 10ish pages near the end are missing, but it will have to do. If anyone ever recovers anything that is missing (particularly the Night 2 flavor), please send it to me.

Rain lavish praises upon Feysal, He Who Saved the Game! Also, thanks to Tierce, who contributed something of the tech-fu sort, I believe.

Join the otter party in celebration!

Night 3 will end on Monday, April 2, at 10 pm EST. Please resubmit all night actions if you sent them in before the crash. Thanks!

EDIT:

We have a site-hosted version of the archive now as an alternative link.

With both a tiger and a shark successfully evicted from Rompville, the otters' faith was renewed ... a little bit.

They'd met with some success, but still, they remembered the massacre from the night before...

The otters began to look around to see who was missing.

Oh no... where was Elmo TeH AzN?! He was the smartest otter in Rompville, forever scribbling away at his calculations, though no one ever knew what he was calculating.

They searched and searched and finally confirmed their worst fears... He was dead.

But in the search, they realized that someone else was missing, too:MrBuddyLee.

This greatly distressed Rompville, for MrBuddyLee was a very young otter beloved by all. He loved to play and would even keep people up at night to play with them.

When they found his body, they all took a moment to remember MrBuddyLee.

This was a terrible tragedy.

The otters of Rompville must be safe again.

Some otters were discouraged, but other otters stood up to them:

Those tigers and sharks were no match for otters!

They would root out those tigers and sharks. They had to.

MrBuddyLee -

Otterly Distracting, Roleblocker

- has been eaten Night 3.
