[split] The Return of Jester Mafia - GAME END!

The votes were in. The people were in agreement - the enemy army should be lynched.

Just as everyone started arguing about whether that meant lynching them simultaneously with the same rope, however, Paranoia stepped up to a conveniently-placed podium and pulled out a megaphone..

"ATTENTION, JESTERS! THIS IS PRESIDENT PARANOIA OF JESTERLAND SPEAKING!"

Everyone was confused - since when had Jesterland had a President? As they spoke up to raise the question, they found themselves surrounded by armed soldiers.

"JESTERLAND HAS ALWAYS HAD A PRESIDENT, AND THAT PRESIDENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ME! AND OF COURSE, AS THE ARMY UNDER MY COMMAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE JESTERLAND ARMY, THIS CLEARLY MEANS THEY CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AN 'ENEMY ARMY' IN ANY WAY AND IT WOULD BE TREASONOUS TO SUGGEST SUCH A THING."

Nobody argued with that point.

"I HEREBY DECLARE THAT THE ENEMY ARMY CONSISTS OF THE REBEL FORCES, LEAD BY PALAMEDES, SUPAHKIVEN, AND YD12K. I WILL THEREFORE CARRY OUT THE DEMOCRATICALLY-APPROVED LYNCHING OF THE ENEMY ARMY..."

The loyal soldiers of the Jesterland army promptly seized the traitors so named by their glorious leader.

"...BY REMOVING THE ARMY'S HEAD. IN OTHER WORDS, TOSSING THE LEADERS INTO THE JESTILLE PRISON."

The traitors were promptly carried away. The remaining loyal citizens praised their glorious leader's wise decision, and awaited the explanation of the enemy army's role.

"THE ENEMY ARMY NEVER EXISTED, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD EVER BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO OPPOSE JESTERLAND. IF THEY DID EXIST, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD NO POWERS BECAUSE THEY WERE POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF MY LEADERSHIP. THEIR WIN CONDITION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO OVERTHROW ME AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET."

Paranoia smiled as the assembled crowd eagerly applauded his wisdom and incredible leadership.

"I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE PRISONERS ARE STILL LEGITIMATE TARGETS FOR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO TO THEM AT NIGHT. AS LONG AS IT ISN'T TREASONOUS, OF COURSE. BECAUSE I AM MERCIFUL, THE PRISONERS WILL ALSO BE PERMITTED TO PERFORM THEIR OWN NIGHT ACTIONS, BUT ONLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LOYAL OFFICER OF THE JESTERLAND ARMY. YOU MAY NOW RESUME YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTIES. AND REMEMBER, WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH JESTASIA."

And so everyone went to sleep, certain that President Paranoia's wise and just rule would continue forever.

wooooooo

Hello, this is my restless spirit. I hope you had a fun day of losing to the army that I was keeping away from our borders.

As my first act of vengeance, I am going to make it perfectly clear that night actions will not be impeded by the arrests; the prisoners will be able to perform night actions, and everyone else can perform actions on the prisoners. This may affect flavor of the morning reports, but nothing else.

This has been my first act of spiritual vengeance. Thank you, and get those night actions in quickly, or else I may engage in even greater acts of vengeance, such as tallying your votes during the day.

woooooooooooo
