Aussie Dingo Aussie Dingo: Predator vs Prey - Ep 1 (Night 1/Day 1)

[Tubby23]

You beaut! Welcome to Austraylya and crikey do we have some fun in store for you! My name's Steve Irwin and I just love animals! Everything about them. There is not a species on this planet that I don't love.



Here in Australia we have some of the rarest and most interesting creatures right on our doorsteps. I'm passionate about conservation of their land and their lives and want to bring the joy of these animals into your living rooms. There would be no greater thing for me in life than for everyone across the world to appreciate and protect animals.

Not all animals are friends with each other though and for my next show I wanted to show you the inter-species dynamics between Predators and Prey. So I have set up cameras across 1 million hectares of the Australian outback, I want everyone across the world to watch on as these animals interact and live their lives.

ROLE DESCRIPTIONS:

Team Prey:

Role: Kangaroo
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: Can't remember the Joey's name. However is desperately trying to find it. At night can nominate a player to check. If that player is the Joey they will be reunited via DM, if the player isn't the Joey the Kangaroo will receive no further info and must keep searching.


Role: White Ibis
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: At night, can nominate one player they wish to see the animal instinct of that player. As noted in the role descriptions not all animals on the Prey team present as such when the Ibis uses their animal instincts.


Role: Kookaburra
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: All seeing, always laughing. The Kookaburra loves nothing more than having fun at others expense. Can nominate one player to have their role revealed publicly on the Kookaburra's death. Nominated via PM and can be changed at any point.


Role: Platypus
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: Is the only player able to stop the Great White Shark's blood sense. Once per game may nominate to clean the waters, they do so via DM and must successfully pick a member of the predator team. Example: I choose to clean the waters and nominate XXX as a predator. If succesful the water will be cleaned, the town will also be notified that the clean was successful. If unsuccessful the platypus may no longer take part in lynch votes.


Role: Magpie
Animal Instincts: Unknown
Description: Magpies swoop and boy are they pricks. No one knows whether they are evil or not. Each night is able to swoop a player, that player is now injured. If a player is swooped for a second time they are now dead. Can not swoop the Joey, the Kookaburra or the Box Jellyfish.


Role: Joey
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: No powers, however knows which player has the Kangaroo role as it's mother.


Role: Wombat
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: At night can nominate one player (or itself) to take back to its burrow for protection. Wombat protection can only work twice. If succesful in defending a target the wombat will be informed of the role, but not player, that attacked (in the case of the predator vote they will be informed as such). Once twice successful in defending a player the wombat becomes powerless prey. Protects against all night attacks.


Role: Koala
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: While being cute and cuddly they are often infested with chlamydia. The koala can scratch a player with its claws during the day in an attempt to give it chlamydia. Their role will be announced to everyone when used as use requires a post in thread of "XXXX scratches YYYY" if the player scratches a Predator or Solitary Animal that player dies, if the target is on the Prey team the Koala is culled.


Role: Possum
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: Often killed by domestic cats left out at night, the possum is the least powerful member of the prey team and as such has no powers.


Role: Quokka
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: Can watch a player at night. If the player watched is killed by the predators the Quokka will be given two suspects for this death, one will be the lowest ranked remaining predator and the other a random prey.


Role: Echidna
Animal Instincts: Unkown
Description: Spikey little fellas, they're slow moving but all seeing. At night, can nominate a player to check their role however doesn't receive the result of this check until during the next day phase. If killed before receiving their result the result of their check will be passed to the Joey (if still alive).


Role: Tasmanian Devil
Animal Instincts: Prey
Description: Distantly related to the Tasmanian Tiger, the Tasmanian Devil has the ability to select two players to watch, if either of those players dies the living players role will be revealed to the Tasmanian Devil. One successful use only.


Role: Tasmanian Tiger
Animal Instincts: Unkown
Description: Has been extinct for many years however many still offer rewards if you can find proof of them living. At night, can speak with the dead in a dead forum. Can revive any dead player (except the Joey) once per game via nomination at night via PM.


Role: Veterinarian
Animal Instincts: Unknown
Description: You hold the anti-venom to protect the box jellyfish target, unfortunately you have only a one-time use as the manufacturer is suffering from decreased output following the return of a niche internet forum.
May select one player to target once per game as the Box Jellyfish (once selected can not change), if successful the Box Jellyfish will not be able to take another player to its death when/if they die. If unsuccessful you become a powerless human.

Team Predator:
1.

Role: Box Jellyfish
Animal Instincts: Predator
Description: The deadliest of all Australian animals can only be killed via lynch or day attacks. Can take another player to the grave with them, this is nominated via PM prior to death and can be nominated at any time.

2.

Spoiler: Spider Behind Here

Role: Funnel Web Spider
Animal Instincts: Unkown
Description: Once per night can creep its way into another players den and find their exact role, done via PM. Can vote with other predator players however in the case of a tiebreaker being required their vote is removed.

3.

Role: Great White Shark
Animal Instincts: Predator
Description: Once per game activates its ability to sense blood in the water (must be activated during the day). The predators normal nightly kill is guaranteed however everyone is alerted that there is a shark in the water. Sense is active until either the Great White is killed or the water cleaned by the Platypus

4.

Role: Common Death Adder
Animal Instincts: Unknown
Description: Can select any non-predator player, can change the selected player at any point via DM. If the nominated player dies by any method except predator kill or Crocodile Death Roll the dead player will appear as the Death Adder and the Death Adder will take on the animal instinct and team status of the dead player.

5.

Role: Saltwater Crocodile
Animal Instincts: Predator
Description: Once per game at night can nominate a player to put in a death roll, that player now has two day phases to live. The only way to save a player from the death roll is for the Crocodile to be lynched. Can not vote with other predators on nightly kills.
If the Crocodile attacks the following roles it will also die at the end of it's death roll: Dingo, Tasmanian Tiger & Daddy Long Legs Spider

6.

Role: Cane Toad
Animal Instincts: Predator
Description: The most useless thing ever brought to Australia, literally told to kill them at night in Queensland. The lowest ranked predator they can vote but have no other powers

Solitary Animals:

Role: Dingo
Animal Instincts: Unknown
Description: The dingo's win objective is to find and snatch the joey from it's mother. Sends their attempted snatch at any point by DM to me in the form of Dingo snatches XXXX. If the snatch is successful the game is over and the Dingo has won. If the target is incorrect the Dingo is culled. If the Joey is killed by prey lynch while the Dingo is still alive they join the Predator team and win with them. If the Joey is killed by the Predator team while the Dingo is still alive they join the Prey team and win with them.

Spoiler: Another Spider Behind Here

Role: Daddy Long Legs Spider
Animal Instincts: Unknown
Description: Lots of silly rumours exist about these guys have the most potent venom of any spider in Australia but just can't bite, really they are nothing to fear and are good for getting rid of other insects. Wins the game by being successfully lynched during the day. Loses in all other scenarios and if they are last alive the Prey win.

OOC: genders used in the prose to refer to the various animals are not an indicator of the gender of the player who has that role, merely my best approximation of Steve Irwin

*screen rises, a graphic on screen says 1.36am*

Strewth mate, what a fascinating night it has been out here in the outback. I've gotta admit things have gone a little pear shaped.

First the mother Kangaroo lost her Joey and is trying with all her might to find it. She's trying to band together all the other animals to help, I know she's got the White Ibis flying over head watching, the Wombat searching all the burrows vowing to use his ample frame to protect the little baby from any harm and there's even rumour the Tasmanian Tiger is helping from the Land of the Dead. I don't know who else she has got helping but I'm sure there are others, there has to be for the sake of that joey.

We went out searching to help her but we couldn't find anything before it got too late at night even for me. That's when things got worse! Our vet went walkabout, he's stuck out there in the outback with nothing but the clothes on his back and one-shot of Box Jellyfish anti-venom. This all turned into a bit of a dog's breakfast because next I knew a dingo had gotten south of the dingo fence. They may seem like friendly dogs, and while they've certainly never stolen a human baby they most certainly will eat that baby kangaroo joey if they find it. That worries me, mate!

*fade to black*

*screen returns with sunrise over Uluru*


Now folks this makes me sad. This morning I've found one of our friendly prey dead. My efforts at conservation were not enough! There is no way we should be seeing this animal this far north-west of the east coast, these fellas love the marshy mangrove but the continued destruction of their habitats for our housing has led this fella a long way from home and now he's dead. It looks like he has been attacked by a Box Jellyfish, a Funnel Web Spider and a Saltwater Crocodile. There are other marks here on his body but I can't tell what they're from and my best vet is lost so it will be some time until we can work that out! Anyway hooroo, I've got to hit the frog and toad I'm off to see a man about a dog.

*fade to black*

Zell 17 has been killed, they were the White Ibis.

White Ibis fun fact: affectionately called bin chickens, they are seen around most eastern cities hanging around bins.

[Tubby23]

My zoo is all about education and crikey there have been some questions that everyone should have the answers to:

Q: If the Kangaroo is reunited with the Joey, is the Joey safe from attacks by the Dingo? A: No the Joey isn't safe when found. The point of the search is for two townies to have a method of communication to co-ordinate the town and their knowledge if they can.

Q: Can the dingo snatch the joey at any time? For example if we are about to lynch the Dingo, can they make a last ditch PM effort to random guess the Joey and win? A: Dingo can snatch at any time until they die (or the Joey does)

Q: Does the player in the death roll know they are in a death roll? A: The player will be informed that they're in a death roll via PM, the entire game will also receive a message starting that day phase to say for example "there is a player now caught in the crocodile death roll and has 2 day phases to live" (something more exciting than that though in the opening post).

Q:
Death roll starts at night. Does 2 phases mean:

Alive during day
Alive during night
Dead at start of day?

A: Death roll equals day, night, day so they would die at end of the day phase (with the lynch, if there is one). Two full day phases to save themselves.

Q: Can the wombat protect the Joey from being gotten by the Dingo? A: Yes. Wombat is a protection against all attacks, if the Dingo chooses to attack at night then the Wombat would successfully protect.

I didn't realize someone might try to give me chlamydia just because I'm playing this, wtf?

 

[Tubby23]

Apologies for the thread snafu all, first time blunder!

 

[Dean]

Dean scratches TD

 

[Dean]

I'm not the Koala. You just looked itchy.

 

[Jawneh]

First of all, get those bloody kiwis off this island! We don't need no flippin invasive species here!

Voting Benzine.

 

[Dean]

First of all, get those bloody kiwis off this island! We don't need no flippin invasive species here!

Voting Benzine.

The Australian sun must be getting to you too

 

[Dean]

I'm really bummed that we lost Zell on night one.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Fools Requiem scratches Dean.

 

[Local Hero]

Maybe @Zell 17 can finally rest

 

[Dean]

Fools Requiem scratches Dean.

Thanks, these mosquito bites are really itchy, and this sunburn I'm gonna have soon will be too

 

[Jawneh]

Do we need like a conga line of scratching?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I'm not 100% sure if I should just lie in every post in this game, or the next Zell game.

 

[Dean]

Do we need like a conga line of scratching?

Quid pro quo scratching?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Fool's Requiem applies anti-itch cream on Dean.

 

[Dean]

Dean scratches himself

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Maybe @Zell 17 can finally rest

So, you admitting you killed him?

Dean scratches himself

hawt

 

[Local Hero]

So, you admitting you killed him?

It wasn't my vote

 

[Fool's Requiem]

@Local Hero is Wolf Seer, get him.

 

[Local Hero]

@Local Hero is Wolf Seer, get him.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm grinning like a shot fox after reading all that flavor, Tubby. Good on ya.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

BTW, the dingo stole my baby. It's a tragic tale.

 

[Christina]

I read a story about a marriage that almost ended because a kola peed on a guy and gave him clomidea and he gave it to his pregnant wife.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I would never give a koala to my pregnant wife

 

[Dean]

But if the wife got stung by a jellyfish and the guy peed on her and gave her chlamydia, would it be a forgiveable offense?

 

[TD]

I vote Joseph Snapple.

Zell was killed. He was #7.
Joseph Snapple was #1.

COINCIDENCE?

I think not.

 

[Dean]

I've never known an animal to hurt another animal for absolutely no reason. Animals might be protecting themselves or their family, they might be hungry, or they might be territorial, but just to hurt another living thing?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I vote Joseph Snapple.

Snapple is sugar water mascarading as juice.

COINCIDENCE?

I think not.

 

[TD]

FOLKS WE GOT OUT FIRST BANDWAGON.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Making the same joke as someone else makes it 86.9% funnier.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

FOLKS WE GOT OUT FIRST BANDWAGON.

don't make me vote you. I'm still salty about the last game.

 

[Local Hero]

I vote @TD

 

[VashTheStampede]

Okay guys the next person to vote for Snapple is the THIRD person.

This is an important thing I have been told.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Okay guys the next person to vote for Snapple is the THIRD person.

This is an important thing I have been told.

"Listen up guys. We won a game yesterday. If we win a game today, that's "two in a row." If we win one tomorrow, that's called a "winning streak." It has happened before."

[Dean]

Listen, we don't make the rules here.

I don't blame @Tubby23 for being distracted. How could anybody not find a woman who played tag with her pet duck attractive?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Anarchy is the best policy. Absolutely nothing bad can come of it.

 

[Tubby23]

I'm getting there, I promise

 

[Dean]

While I'm on my soapbox, I don't think it's correct for someone to refer to an awful person as an animal.

 

[Dean]

Anarchy is the best policy. Absolutely nothing bad can come of it.

When you’re starting out you don’t like to ask for help; you want to prove you’re capable of doing everything yourself. You actually have to be pretty secure to admit that you need some help.

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[Christina]

I've never known an animal to hurt another animal for absolutely no reason. Animals might be protecting themselves or their family, they might be hungry, or they might be territorial, but just to hurt another living thing?

You don't live near wasps do you?
