I wonder if there could be a mechanic where the dead players can return as “ghosts” to offer vague advice?
Hmmmm, that could be interesting.
Or the dead players become evil ghosts that the Ghostbusters must battle!

Night 3 - New York City
“We’ve already lost Theo due to an unforeseen accident,” said Hans. *“Take care that we do not lose you as well Karl.”
*
“Right,” Karl answered back into his phone. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll report back when I’m done.”
He ended his call and continued walking down the sidewalk. He rounded the corner and proceeded towards the hotel that his latest target was staying. As he he approached the side parking lot, he saw him standing on the sidewalk, smoking a cigarette. Karl stood off to the side for a moment, sizing up his target, then decided to change plans a bit. Shooting him now would be too easy of a kill. So he instead decided to just get his attention.
He drew out his pistol and fired one shot a few feet in front of the man, striking the pavement. Startled, but by no way scared, Martin Riggs turned towards Karl, drawing his Beretta 9 and aiming it at his chest.
"Wait, wait, "** Karl **said calmly, his gun still leveled towards Riggs. “I could have killed you just now, but I did not.”
“Why not?” Riggs asked. “I’m ready to die anyway, guy, so give it your best shot. Because that last shot was way off. I hope you really did miss on purpose.”
“You remind me alot of McClane. He talked alot as well. That is precisely why I want to destroy you instead of just shooting you.”
Karl lowered his pistol and tossed it aside. Riggs watched the gun clatter off onto the pavement underneath one of the cars in the lot. He looked back at the tall blonde man and then smiled.
“Alright then,” he said as he threw his gun away as well.
The two men approached each other, slowly circling around the open space in the lot. Riggs thrust out two well placed jabs that snapped** Karl’s** head back. He smiled to himself as** Karl** wiped his nose and then swung a left hook at Riggs, but he was too slow and his arm swung wildly as Riggs ducked out of the way, coming back with a blow to** Karl’s **gut causing him to double over slightly.
Riggs hesitated for a second too long as Karl recovered and threw out a side kick to** Riggs’ leg. He went down on one knee and Karl** came forward with a massive shot to the jaw. Riggs groaned in pain, but grunted his way to his feet, fighting through the pain. ** Karl** came in with another shot, but Riggs blocked it, cinching Karl’s arm up in the process. He then grabbed him by the shirt and yanked him forward, smashing his own head into Karl’s face. Faltering back, Karl coughed and sputtered on blood from his nose and mouth. He growled and reached his free hand towards **Riggs’ **throat, squeezing, driving his nails into the flesh. Riggs let loose of Karl’s other arm, to grip the hand around his throat, but the hold was strong. He grabbed with both hands and pulled down and towards his chest, causing Karl to crouch slightly. Taking this opporotunity, Riggs drove his knee into **Karl’s chest. He cried out in pain from the hand to the throat, but he pushed on, driving his knee forward again. And again. ** Karl loosened his grip as he gasped for air for a moment, then in one swift movement, he swung his leg out and behind Riggs’ leg, tripping him down to the ground. As Riggs faltered, Karl grabbed his head both hands, stepped off to the side slightly and pushed forward and twisted Riggs’ neck to the side, breaking it instantly.
The man’s body slumped to the ground as Karl stood back upright, panting and wiping the blood from his face. He collected his pistol from the ground and walked away.
WF Tomba has been killed. He was** Martin Riggs **(Lethal Weapon) / Town aligned PGO x 1
It is now Day 4. There are 3 votes needed for a lynch. The Day will end at 1pm EDT on Friday. Your suspects are :
- Mahaloth
- Sangfroid
- Prof. Pepperwinkle
- Hooker Chemical
- Astral Rejection
Note - Sorry for the abundance of blue and red, but I wanted to properly label the names in the fight scene. It’s colorful, for sure, but then again, it is color commentary, so there ya go!
Pfui, pfui, pfui! So much for outguessing scum. I figured Tomba was the safest of the three of us, so I took Mahaloth to keep the Watcher safe.
VOTE SANGFROID.
VOTE SANGFROID
I’m not sure I have much to add to the conversation, but if sang is next, I’m in.
I received no results in the morning, but have PM’ed the mod to see if it was missed. I used my role last Night and want to see what happened.
That’s because I gave you a ride. It kept you safe, but you couldn’t look either. I shoulda grabbed Tomba. Congratulations on not dying as early as usual, BTW.
That’s right! Congratulations on staying alive, Mahaloth!
WOO HOO!!
Yay.
And I watched Toomba. And got nuttin’.
I guess we knew that anyway.
Either you protected a power role (and prevented the use of the power role as a side effect) or you protected the weaker townie. Both make some level of sense, especially when you start considering WIFOM.
It looks like Tomba’s power only worked once. I was afraid of that.
If his power worked twice, wouldn’t you be dead if you commuted him?
Which is one of the reasons why I didn’t.
Right now I think Astral is Karl, and sangfroid is Hans. Anybody got other thoughts?
I actually agree.
VOTE SANGFROID
Mahaloth, I’m wondering why you chose to view Tomba. If his claimed ability worked, you’d be dead in the Night, and we needed to know more about sangfroid, Hooker and Astral, IMHO.
