Mmm. Hotness.

Also whoever voted Fener - I wonder if we can lynch him? If he's listed as a living player but not as one who can vote. I mean yeah ok joke votes on Fener are pretty normal but it raised the question in my mind, especially since he's now posting like an NPC would.


Hmm, does that sound like a challenge to anyone else? Seems Like Karosis has it out for Fener.



Also HiddenOne posted that they were in on the signup thread, so they could be the 16th and the signup has not been updated.

Is that Omtose getting in some early distancing from Fener? And setting them up as not being worth targeting hence the speedy remove? I am suspicious.

I'm curious as to what you were sickened by? I was being literal, the shape of Togg's penis, the length and girth of an elephant's foot.

A horse is renowned for having some meat in its package, so is an elephant but imagine it giving the finger first.

Either you didn't actually read Fener's post or you're intentionally trying to start something. Sounds to me like Fener's asking for PMs with info that they can then broadcast for the thread.

So ultama made the point about alts being present i think it's a reasonable assumption.

What intrigues me is why have fener listed as a character/participant when, there is no way that post what done impromptu/off the cuff. Yet if it was a mod written message, why not just use the P-S alt for flavor text? That it's the fener alt as well strikes me as a deliberate move to troll us so lets not get too eager on the lynch train folks.

Somethings fishy and it's not JUST the fact it's fener.

The livestream cuts in abruptly, catching a figure in cheap sweatpants holding a slice of soggy pizza and talking to themselves whilst simultaneously trying to type through cheese and ham coated fingers. It doesn't appear they are aware the camera is on.

"Right so I'm going to start a blog, I've seen so many amateurs talking about their moms dog and the rain and so it can't be too hard can it. I've got some hosting, got a rocking theme for me if what I heard is true, I just need to string it all together and be totally serious."

"I need a name though, something that'll stand out from the crowd whilst totally being the in-thing. Something that'll look good as a neon gif flashing on the top of every post. My theme is going to be pretty limiting though. I could go for the old clichéd title revision, 'Miss Fener Investigates' or 'Inspector Fener.' Maybe not Miss Fener, that could raise some awkward questions about my weekend habits."

The figure spins rapidly round on the swivel chair, apparently hard in thought

"'Fener's War' perhaps, old romantic images of the past and tales of simpler times whilst still being pretty current. There's potential there. Oh, Wikipedia says it was axed twice? Perhaps not then."

The slice of pizza is orbiting the parent body, held at arms length, at speeds just shy of escape velocity. Just one rpm more and it'll slide from the greasy fingers. The figure kicks at the stand whilst staring at the slice.

"Is this a pizza I see before me? Ham and pineapple? That gives me an id... oooohh shiiiiiiiii..."

headed off for the night, ill throw this out.

The pizza slips away, trailing a meteor storm of melted cheese and chunks in a stunning arc around the room as the slice slams into the distant door with a faint *splobb* sound. With a sickening feeling the viewers watch as a drop of greasy cheese impacts the centre of the lens

"Oh it's the door, that's fine. There's a couple more over there somewhere from last weekend. So my blog will be called... wait for it... 'Hawaii Fener-O.' Genius. Thank you, thank you. You're all too kind."

The figure seems to be bowing forward slightly as if accepting praise from the monitor. Fingers become visible around the edges of the cheese and it begins to type.

Good evening gentle folk of our fair city, it is sad tidings indeed that bring about the first post on the official Hawaii Fener-O blog.

News has just this minute reached my ears of a crime most foul that has happened on our very doorstep. That's right, here in downtown itself someone has committed a most dastardly act. Whilst I cannot go into great detail for reasons of operational security I can reveal this much:

Not less than 2 hours ago outside [redacted] a single grocery bag from [redacted] was found to contain the results of a most grisly shopping trip. I don't know if I dare say all my source told me for risk of my own life but I can tell you this - inside the bag were the aged, wrinkled, bent and broken fingers of a man well known to many of us in the city. We've all seen him around even if we've only known his as "that drunken douche." We'd all I'm sure recognise the fingers so often seen wrapped around the many brown paper bags of liquor he had carried. Yes, they were the fingers of our own drunken fool, the far-fallen Venge.

Okay so you're thinking perhaps he had an accident - perhaps one of the times he fell over when just this side of unconsciousness he landed on the shards of the bottle he'd dropped? Oh how I wish that were the case. Alas those fingers were still attached to his hands. Both of them and all 11 fingers. It is shocking I know, please readers take a moment to spare a thought for those who will no longer have him sleeping on their drives, crapping on their lawns. We'll all miss him.

You saw him this morning you say? Recognised his blotchy, pallid face? Please call 911 and ask for homicide. They'd like to talk to you. Because not only were his hands in there but so was his whole head! Yes, I kid you not, the whole thing was in there from the C6 vertebrae up. Or so my source tells me, I gather it was a little hard to tell for sure due to the saturation of alcohol in his bones and the unlikely expression of what appeared to be multiple venereal diseases usually found in cattle.

So good people, the conclusion is inescapable - the Body Snatcher has come to town!


That sounds pretty good, nice and snazzy with some drama and twists. Perhaps I should put a warning about graphic content? Perhaps not - anyone on the internet has read worse by far, it's not like I even have pictures."

The figure ponders in silence for a minute, no doubt proof-reading the post

"It looks good, reads well, doesn't tell the reader anything about me but puts m across as someone in the know. I like it. I'll sleep on it for now though, this is sensational stuff so want it fresh with the dawn, not posted as people go to bed as who bothers with anything they read then anyway. Alarm set for... 7am!"

Fener seems to sit back a little and the rapt attention on the keyboard seems to diminish

"Okay so I struck it lucky this time, finding that off-duty Cop in the bar draining it dry to obliterate the things he'd seen was a scoop no doubt and just what I need. I can't hope to be so lucky next time, I need to recruit people who know things. Should I just say 'talk to meee people?' Maybe a little too crass and obvious. A heartfelt plea to tell me things to spread knowledge in order to help people survive this lunatic in our town? That should do the trick. Perhaps this'll require the application of greater charm - a Vlog tagged to the end maybe."

Fener reaches for the webcam switch. As the hand gets closer he realises the 'Transmit' light is on. There is a half-heard "Oh shii" and then darkness.

I will sympathize with that. Given Venge is modding and mocked in this post, something no sane player would do given the fact he's an angry spiteful bastard who plays mafia as if he's driving extremely nice guy whom I love and cherish and have nothing bad to say about, I think Fener will be a mod-puppet for scenes.

The same room is shown, although at a precarious 65 angle. Perhaps indicating something has been thrown at the camera recently. The globule of cheese is still present and is becoming more opaque as it cools and solidifies. Fener appears again to be unaware that he is observed. He appears and sounds to be reading comments made on his first blog article - the text, not the video

Goodness gracious me, I thought I realised how dumb internet people were but some of these comments are the absolute pits. Brain has left the building, unfortunately it left the fingers at the keypad. Just look at this stuff, sheesh."

"On the other hand, where there is shit there is gold. These may be worth encouraging. If nothing else I'm getting known a little more *and* interaction with readers is a proven plus point on a quality blog. I just need to find something coherent amongst the blather that I can talk with."

There is the sound of Fener perusing the comments section for the grand total of 37 seconds

"I'm never leaving the building again. Never. Some of those things. The goat. The chicken. the SALAMANDER. Is there no perversion to which people will not sink?"

"Never mind, I've got bigger fish to fry - the Body Snatcher to be precise. Perhaps some of these slightly less off the wall comments will help me think things through, Rule 34 notwithstanding"

View PostOmtose, on 09 November 2015 - 08:12 PM, said:

Well first thing to note. Apparently Fener does not get a vote.


Say what? I'm on the Electoral Roll aren't I? I'm registered just like everyone else is. What is this person trying to imply here. Oh god, there's not an election tomorrow is there? Because I totally wouldn't know which way to vote without having reviewed candidates for a week each."

"No no, it can't be that."

"Well if there was to be one, I'd definitely have to



Because he's wanting to get me worried therefore deserves everything that comes with getting elected - the scandals, the physical and verbal abuse, the unfortunate stains on the dress, all of it."
