Mobile (mini-PHALLA) P Gundam - Zombies come... you die - Mafia Victory

(Snazzy logo to come soon)

Welcome to the 13th annual Gundam Phalla!

You are here to represent the governments of your respective colonies. The winner will determine which colony will preside over the planet Earth for the next four years. Regrettably, it has come to our attention that a secret organization may be plotting to wipe out humanity entirely, making their elimination slightly more important than just winning this awesome, although somewhat ridiculous competition. This phalla will be very non-standard, and although it will feature the typical Village vs. Small Mafia set-up, the voting system is being handled completely differently. This will be explained later, but please be aware of it, I'm hoping it'll be fun for everyone, and more appropriately captures the spirit of a giant robot fight. There will also be some light resurrection and conversion... notice the and, it means both will happen at the same time, and it will all happen at once.

This game will be divided into two sections, the "Survival 11" and then the "League Finals". You will be very clearly informed of when this change occurs, and updated on everything that means when it comes (mostly because I want to see how the revised voting system works, the current plan is to make the "League Finals" section revert back to normal phalla rules).

The vote will close at 11 EST, and hopefully I plan on being able to get narration up by midnight, with PMs out around that time. This will be a fairly large mini, but I'm hoping to have tons of deaths every night.

Voting:
The voting system in this game will be quite different, you do not merely select a person to die, but you elect many competitors to fight in the following days arranged battles. You will vote for one person in bold red similar to this: !TehSloth. Then a secret number of combatants will be selected from the top vote receivers, although it will be roughly 1/4 of the population rounded to the nearest even number, if for some any reason there must be an odd number, there will be a three-way fight arranged between the highest vote receivers. Ties will generally result in more competitors, and the only time it will be RNG's is if I have to pull in competitors with 0 votes because we have not reached the minimum amount of contenders. The battle system will be explained next, but here are a couple examples of what would happen in certain scenarios:
A) If all players had exactly one vote on them.... EVERYONE WOULD FIGHT. Three people would be RNG'd to fight in a three-way battle.

B) 35 players, and the vote is evenly split between 7 competitors. These 7 would battle, and one other person would have to get RNG'd to raise the number of fighters to 8, since it is the minimum.

C) 35 players: 10, 7, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. Everyone receiving votes would battle because the minimum is 8, and we would need to dip into the 1's. There would be a three-way bettle between the person with 10, the one with 7, and the one with 4.

D) 35 players: 10, 6, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1. All players with 2 or more votes would battle, this is exactly the minimum.

Battles:
Battles will take place the following day and the highest vote receivers will be paired with the lowest, a bracket will be posted. Everyone involved in a battle is still a fair target for votes and abilities. I'll be using a complicated system I devised for determining the winner, but know that competitors will take turns attempting to hit each other and dodge attacks, at fairly low odds for each. On top of that each competitor will receive a Morale Penalty based on how many votes they received which will reduce their chance to hit and dodge. Most Gundams have 3 health, and any surviving Gundams will be fully repaired at the end of the evening.

Skirmishing:
Don't worry, those who aren't competing can still have a little fun, this isn't the 13th annual Gundam Friendship & Politeness Competition after all. Anyone not competing in sanctioned battles can still square-off against the opponent of their choice. PM a target to TehSloth, and you will engage in one round of battle with that target, so know that chances are low that you'll even do any damage, lower that you'll eliminate anyone, but this will take place after sanctioned battles and before repairs, so it could be a vital coup de grace to the wounded competitor you just know has to be evil. Morale Penalties are not considered during these fights, and anyone opting not to skirmish will be on the defensive and receive a dodge bonus.

    Wait for it.....

    The Theroo began the day like every other, rolling over and searching under his pillow for his hated enemy, Maximus Traitorous. He proceeded to tear apart his entire house searching for his arch-nemesis, leaving no nook unchecked and no cranny missed. He then kneeled down, tears streaming off his cheeks, and prayed to the Gods for Maximus Traitorous to die and for his torment to end.

    Men wondered how it had began, how such good friends became such bitter enemies. Some would believe that it was The Theroo who threw the first blow, but the truth is that Maximus Traitorous began this accursed cycle. The Theroo had come to Maximus Traitorous in friendship, bearing an offering of peace and a beneficial alliance. However, the cunning Maximus Traitorous spit in his face and stabbed him the back. Broken and bleeding on the battleground of Phalla Royale, the Theroo swore revenge. He would not rest until he had run Maximus Traitorous out of these lands forever, he would not stop until he had his triumph, and woe to anything man or God who got in his way.

    That day a feud was born, and such a mighty war it has been. Many have tried to stop it, and they have been broken and crushed upon the otherworldly hatred the two share. The struggle has been long and costly; neither side is able to rest for fear the other is watching. Many attempts had been made on their lives, and there would be many more before the feud was done. However, this day was different, this day it might end.

    The Theroo stepped outside, though not before looking both ways to see if any hired assassins were waiting outside his door. Seeing none, he donned his top hat and monocle and proceeded to make his way to the village bar to see if he could procure any drinks to make his long vigil go sweeter and to forget the many bloody battles he had endured. As he walked the villagers scattered away from him, getting to close to the Theroo has a way of shortening ones lifespan, the assassins of Maximus Traitorous were everywhere and did not care about collateral damage. However, this relaxing jaunt was not to be. As the Theroo opened the door to the pub, a knife whistled by him, missing his monocle by mere centimeters. Reacting instinctively using the experience gained from many attempts on his life, he kicked over the nearest table and took cover behind it. Faster than the eye could see, he reached into his coat and drew out his twin pistols, the legendary weapons Epic and Reveal. Forged in fires of the great Mount Amarth under the watch of an Elder Cacodemon, the Theroo never went anywhere without them. The .357 Magnum Epic was said to be able to shoot fire and lightning from across a mile away and stop a wild rampaging Bandwagon dead in its tracks, all while looking incredibly stylish. It's twin, the howdah pistol Reveal, was not something to be trifled with, it could pierce the strongest of guards and kill the toughest of baddies. It was only loosed in the gravest of circumstances, though many have said that the Theroo used it far too often. However, he had to, danger was everywhere.

    His weapons unleashed, he grabbed his pocket mirror and held it up over his head to take a look at the latest assassin, no doubt some hired gun way over his head. However, today was different. The Theroo gave an audible gasp when he saw that it was none other then his hated opponent, Maximus Traitorous. He had finally manned up and decided to finish this battle like real men. The Theroo gave a quick prayer in thanks that today it would finally be over, his long ordeal was finally at an end. He kicked back the table and started firing.

    No man knows how long these Titans fought, the Theroo throwing fire and lighting and Maximus Traitorous giving back all that he took. The clash set the bar on fire with the violence of the blows, and the warriors spilled out onto the streets of the town. Thunder was heard for miles around, animals hid, and even the Gods themselves stopped their ceaseless games and watched. Every being knew that today history would be made, today would be the end of an era, today it would finally end, and no man, beast, or even God would get in the way of the fury of the two.

    After days of struggle, the Theroo saw his chance, a small opening in Maximus Traitorous' defense. He drew his pistols together, lined up the shot, and whispered "It's Epic Reveal Time, you son of bitch." He pulled the trigger, and there was a blinding light and a thunderous boom. The shot that issued from those barrels had the power to unmake armies, to destroy Gods, and to rip the very fabric of reality itself powered by the hatred the two men felt towards each other. Maximus Traitorous saw the shot coming, and knew his time was at an end. Accepting his end like a true man, he closed his eyes and waited for the end.

    However, it was not time just yet.

    The world froze, and the combatants stood still. The Theroo could only watch with a hatred that could light a thousand stars as Maximus Traitorous was taken away from the battlefield. It seemed that their contest was not yet over, could not be over. There always needed to be a fight, a struggle, a battle between these tortured souls. Their hatred for each other was so deeply ingrained into the very fabric of reality itself that the cessation of the conflict would mean the end of the universe, so they must continue until end of all things. So if you ever come across the Theroo or Maximus Traitorous then run, run very far away, but pity these two men and their bitter, eternal wars.

    In other words, !SIGN UP YOU SON OF A BITCH.
    Apologies for the quality, I wrote it in like 20 minutes. It really is shit but I wanted a more epic way of responding to Maximus. Blame Law, it was his idea. DON'T HURT MEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    Well, technically there will be a day zero, and you will most definitely survive through that..... no promises afterwards, but hopefully being able to cast 2 votes will be some consolation.
