Aye, Dark Owner!

deletedabout 8 years

Inspired by this thread, thanks edark: https://epicmafia.com/topic/79709


Real simple but potentially hilarious game based on ""Aye, Dark Overlord!".

After sending a strongly worded letter to lucid, I have gained ownership of Sandbox Lobby. You players are my mod team. Unfortunately, as Sandbox is wont to do, drama ensues. I will approach one of you with a problem, and your job is to come up with an explanation to pass blame onto another mod. I will then ask that mod for an explanation, and so on.

When I question you for an explanation, you have 48 hours to respond until I either replace you or just demod you on the spot.

My mood can be either Neutral, Irritated, or Angry. If your explanation isn't up to snuff, or if you have done something else I find distasteful, my mood will worsen. I am a tyrannical owner, and anyone who manages makes me angry will be immediately demodded. The object of the game, of course, is to be the last mod standing.

Look to the thread linked above for an example of the game being played. I'll take 8 players max. Game will begin once we have that or once I get bored of waiting for more people to sign up.

I see, I see. Sounds reasonable. So that just leaves you, cute. Surely you are responsible, yes? Or should I say, Cute?

My sweet owner, I assure you I would never do such a thing! I put the application into a Google Doc, since that is the easiest way for me to edit documents, and I fully intended to fix the typos. However, I heard that notorious troll Eris was posting inappropriate things in the forums, and you know how angry that user makes me! I had to rush off immediately to take action, so I added cute to the Google Doc so she could edit it as well, and I asked her to look over the small fixes I had made. I assure you, I would never ruin your good name!

I see. izzy, Is this true? Have you gone to great lengths to tarnish my good name with wicked capitalization?

oh, dearest mist, it was not my doing! I do admit that there were some typos in the original draft because I was very tired at the time - but this wasn't among them! The typos were noticed by none other than izzy who offered to "fix" them. Seems like she's ruined it instead...

ROUND I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE

[Status: Neutral]

This is outrageous! As we all know, the mod team is looking a little thin, so applications have been reopened and a new app has been posted. But it looks like SOMEONE made a bit of an edit to the application which slipped by me before posting. Instead of "Will you swear fealty to mist forevermore?" it says "Will you swear fealty to Mist forevermore?" The m in my name is not meant to be capitalized and you all know it! This is unforgivable. nepenthe, since I delegated the task of drafting the new moderator application to you, I can only assume this was your doing, am I correct?

A ha! So Bebop, the disgusting memer is you! What do you have to save for yourself?
deletedabout 8 years
My dear owner! My sincerest apologies for this misunderstanding. Hopefully, as you have noticed, I have now changed it back to something much more pleasing. But the issue here is that I had a brilliant idea for a background, and I needed a little help to make it. I was going to make a background dedicated to you! However, graphic design isn't exactly my strongest suit, so I enlisted the help of Bebop to make the background. I provided him with some images, and he sent me a file over Skype that was supposedly the finished background. I was about to check it when someone informed me that notorious cheater Blister was back, and I needed to go keep an eye on him, so I uploaded the background without checking the file first. I do believe Bebop sent me a file full of Pepes! I am very sorry I let this slip under the radar, ma'am. I assure you I will be more dutiful next time.

ROUND SOMETHING

[Status: Neutral]

Minions Mods! As you know, I decided recently that I would thank you for your dedicated service by allowing you to pick the background for our lobby for a week at a time. However there was ONE RULE which I made VERY CLEAR. There was to be NO PEPE BACKGROUNDS. izzy, this was your week and I woke up today to find that disgusting, sniveling, unfunny frog staring at me from the background of my lobby. What's the meaning of this!?

"A grudge towards the individual named error." Don't play dumb with me, FannyChmelar, you know well that this sort of issue should have come to me if you received conflicting instructions! Regardless of error and cute's past relationship, error is a dangerous revolutionary!! I didn't mod you for your personal judgement, I modded you for to be an extension of my righteousness and to smite dissidents. This is the last straw, I've had quite enough of your failings.

FannyChmelar has been demodded.

Although I must admit that mod cute did tell me some instructions, she did not tell me the orders were from you directly so I didn't know whether to trust her word completely on the matter, after all, look at the havoc created from the past mods!

Plus, you see, I had also had a conversation with mod izzy in which she told me that your mighty had told mod izzy to not reban him, instead to keep him away from harming our individuals! Mod izzy had requested my assistance in this matter, and of course I accepted as mod cute had asked me to do something similar, and because mod izzy had said these orders were from your graciousness directly, I had asked mod izzy about mod cute telling me about the rebanning of error and mod izzy had told me a tale about how mod izzy and error had actually went through a nasty breakup in the past, and mod izzy explained that perhaps that was the reason that mod cute had 'lied' to me! I was led to believe that perhaps mod cute had some sort of grudge towards the individual named error, so I followed mod izzy's orders like the caring mod I am! And if I may add, mod izzy did not respond to my messages after this event! I was merely a pawn in mod izzy's movements, almost as if she is in some sort of clique with this insurgent! Although this was in no way, shape or form my fault for this happening your majesty, I do apologize for my sloppiness in detecting which of the conflicting stories was false or not! Next time I will be sure to directly ask yourself which was telling the truth or not, as that would give me the answers I do seek! I-if you would as well, I would like to r-request lessons directly from you in how to handle situations like these, you are so strong and powerful...

So you DID unban error? At least with the intention of letting him play one final game. This is definitely something I should have been informed about. I won't stand for such decisions being made without my input from here on out, I hope that is very clear! Especially since your plan went wrong, and error wasn't rebanned! FannyChmelar, you were specifically instructed to reban error after one game which you were to watch closely. Why then did I find error lingering in lobby chat!?

Knowing the prospect might make Bebop a little uncomfortable, for we know that they were once friends and that the intimacy might make him feel a tad guilty for all that is happened, I instead delegated the duties to FannyChmelar, who I carefully instructed to unban error, moderate the game closely, and to reban the insubordinate after all has been done.

Perhaps error's wicked ways have managed to lure FannyChmelar onto the side of the anarchists? ...I sure hope not. My sincerest apologies if my actions had been the ones to cause one of our brethren to fall to the dark side. Your Grace, we have been close confidants long enough for you to know that I would never do anything to sabotage the relationship we have together, let alone your regime. 2/2

Your Majesty, my dearest friend, we have known each other for many long years and I believe that I have never once performed such deceitful pranks of trickery as nepenthe has accused me of. Last night, FannyChmelar (we should surely get this named changed, I assure you that it is unprofessional and does not bode well for your glorious reign over this lobby) and I were having a go at teasing Bebop and nepenthe, by changing our usernames respectively. After a fun night filled with laughs and inside jokes, as we had already retired for the night after having taken care of all of our daily duties, I had fallen asleep without changing my name back to cute from nepenthe. I am terribly sorry for any confusion that might have occurred.

As for the prematurely granted freedom of the well-known revolutionary error, I do have some light to shed. The morning of which these events transpired began for me with a PM in my inbox. This PM was from the beguiling activist and he explained to me that his days playing in EpicMafia were coming to an end, and that it would be a great honor if he were to be allowed one last sandbox game before he went. Think of it as a rite of passage into the new world, if you will. Of course, I know that you, O Wondrous One, want to be remembered not only by the great change that was brought about under your rule of Sandbox, but also by your just judgement and sensible kindness. Believing that it would be best for the people to see that their great ruler mist would allow such a miserly man one last game for the road would surely boost your approval ratings, I informed error that he would be allowed to do such a thing. After informing him of my decision, however, I realized that if I did not leave immediately, I would be late for the very important meeting I had scheduled for that day, so I requested that Bebop unban error when he can. 1/2

Egad, how Skype impersonation! This is a serious accusation. cute, what do you say in your defense?! Did you truly change your Skype name to impersonate nepenthe and trick Bebop?
about 8 years
Your Highness, there must be some sort of a confusion here as I never actually said such a thing! I do have a suspect though... cute changed her Skype name to resemble mine a few hours prior to the unban... I never thought much of it - it seemed like she only did so for a joke or two - but now it very much feels like "cute" is a traitor who tries to undermine your glorious leadership!

I see. So you were a mere pawn in a plot set in motion by a true chessmaster. I suppose it can't be helped that someone of such a simple mind like yourself was rused so easily. Let this be a reminder of why I am owner and supreme leader of sandbox, and you are a lowly moderator, Bebop. I can't help but imagine the pandemonium this lobby would be thrown into if you were in charge.

Anyway, back on topic. nepenthe, mind explaining why you told Bebop to unban error? I heard nothing of this and certainly would not have allowed it!

Your Magnificence, it is my utmost displeasure to inform you that I've been deceived - my unwavering loyalty to our awe-inspiring lobby empress being my ultimate downfall. Late last night, whilst your Grace was in the midst of your aesthetic-sleep, I received a rushed private Skype message from nepenthe. I know how your Omnipotence dislikes moderators conversing outside of the mod chat as it encourages skulduggery, but nepenthe insisted it was an emergency. It was explained to me that your Righteousness had tasked them with unbanning the traitor error as he had been reformed via the usage of the Lucidvico technique, but that they had forgotten to do it on their shift. Knowing that I could never interrupt your Excellence's slumber to report them for incompetence, I did what I believed to be the next best course of action; carrying out my staunch obligation to serve your Virtuousness's commands.

It is now clear to me that my status as your most loyal servant was taken advantage of by the Judas nepenthe. I sincerely apologise and beg forgiveness for my shortcomings, please, lend me your legendary wisdom and fortitude to overcome this one-off incident.
