    What should we have done differently to change tonight's outcome? Apart from somehow picking the Mafia out of our Top 5, I don't think there's anything we could have done.
    Voting me to win the Cup.

    In retrospect, the one thing we should have done is had every villager with a Red Shell or Blue Shell standing by to send orders in the event of the Mafia revealing itself through votes at the last second.

    There's nothing we could have done in terms of our own votes to avoid the outcome since 1) The Mafia disrupts the votes simply by changing their own and 2) The Mafia might also have items.

    Beyond that, the only other thing we could have hoped for is to correctly peg Blarney as Mafia, and I don't know what we would have looked at to ascertain that.

    (sorry about the picture quality - at work with limited resources)

    Dry Bones looked at his kart before the final race, trying to improve it.

    It had full fairings, nice comfortable seat, and finely tuned engine.
    beforekart.jpg

    How could he make it better? Faster?

    As the wind swept through his bones, he realised that there was one way.

    The Bones way.

    Presenting, the Dry Ride:
    afterkart.jpg

    Stripped of every bit of excess - nothing but the bare bones, not very comfortable, but aerodynamic as there is practically no air resistance. The wind passes through the gaps in the frame like it wasn't even there.

    Hopefully, none of the other drivers will realise that he's also driving au natural.

    Gotta get rid of all the excess weight, after all. :winky:
    As Baby Mario began the final lap on Rainbow Road, he realized he was in trouble. The leading racers were decently far ahead of him, and he knew that even though he had the lead in points, he would still have to place well to take home the Mini Cup. He had only one chance for victory...

    Just after the starting line, the track dropped off steeply before turning sharply to the left. Baby Mario angled towards the left edge of the track, shook his rattle three times for good luck then secured it in the back of his diaper, removed his cap and bit down on it with his brand new front teeth so he wouldn't lose it, then played his ace in the hole.

    mushroom.pngMUSHROOM!mushroom.png

    "Baaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyy Maaaaaaaarioooooo!" he bellowed through clenched teeth as he left the comforting prismatic surface of the track for the black unknown of space. After a few seconds he landed on the track far below, his baby carriage making a disturbing CRUNCH! sound when it hit. Baby Mario jerked the wheel hard to the left just in time to avoid careening off the far edge of the track he'd just reached, made a few more corrective maneuvers to get his kart under control, and then looked behind him. Thanks to his foolhardy stunt, he'd gained a huge amount of ground and passed several racers. It seemed the Mini Cup just might be his after all.

    A road created amongst the stars. Truly, a frivolous locale for a simple race. If this was a simple race.

    I knew better. Some of the others did too, but most of the rest have no idea of what's on the line.

    That's fine. It will give me room to do what needs to be done. I infiltrated this race successfully, no one questioning my identity.

    I mean, Toadette? Really? Really? They believed such an entry? It was a bit embarrassing, but we all made sacrifices.

    At any rate, it was time to stop playing nice.

    A jump pad had been prepared, allowing bypass of a particular treacherous section of the course if used properly. As far as normal racers were concerned, that was all it could do. But when used in conjunction with an overlooked aspect of the world, well...

    I bided my time for a lap, watching the positions they fell into. Nice and predictable. Good. I shadowed a promising target, keeping our distance relatively constant. I was a good 80 feet or so behind him at all times, waiting to pounce. He didn't suspect.

    In the middle of the second lap, as we moved into the prepared jump pad area, I made my move. Having no ability to use the pad, my target had been forced to take the treacherous route, but had just made it through successfully, dodging the Thwomps. My Mushroom, combined with the pad, soared me through the air. Ordinarily, that would be it. I would keep on racing, shaving a few seconds off my time.

    Except that I knew the world this was derived from. The physics were...unique, to say the least. Flowers that produced fire, feathers that gave you a cape, mushrooms that made you grow. And one simple constant, jumping. A universal way of combat for these words, pure in its simplicity.

    The important thing about jumping was that momentum was conserved during landing and the jumper would be propelled back into the air if he landed on another being.

    As Tiphareth came out of the typical route, he didn't see me soaring through the air behind him. He did feel when I landed on him, though, flattening him and vaulting me back into the air. When I landed again, it was across a gap that most certainly wasn't intended to be vaulted, bypassing a full third of the course and putting me well into the lead.

      I knew that something was going to happen at the last second. Unfortunately I didn't have any kill items or blue shells on me despite hoarding specifically to obtain them.

      The last second vote for Tiph was admittedly a futile gesture.

      The only reason I did that, by the way, is because Dunadan was acting strangely and he was strongly supporting FWD. Kime can confirm this.

      you solely lost this game for the village.

      had FWD gotten those 2 votes (which were only two thanks to your plan) he would have come in 4th (infidel?) which is MORE than enough for him to win.
