The truck rumbles along a road filled with potholes and barbwire. In the surrounding wasteland, you see the burnt-out shells of military vehicles and the strange, ethereal glow of thermal radiation. Listening closely, you can hear the faint sound of artillery firing in the distance.
Your vehicle comes to a halt. The driver barks an order; you and the rest of the servants climb out of the truck. In the distance, a huge fortress looms. You have no choice but to begin walking towards it.
As you trudge towards your potential doom, you begin to wonder why this job offer originally looked so appealing. Welcome, servants, to the seventeenth round of Overlord's Orders! This is a sign-up thread; for questions/comments, consult the commentary (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=7725.0).

The Rules
We will have an overlord (or overlady), who will be all powerful and control the game.
Everyone else will be a servant of theirs to do his or her bidding, which will be a new assignment at the beginning of each round.
The game begins by the Overlord issuing a task, sending out their servants, and then summoning everyone before them and questioning them about whether they got the thing they wanted.
Any given round may have anywhere from a developing storyline and plot to pure and simple tasking. At times, the gamemaster (Overlord) may deviate from the general pattern and do something different at the end than just another task.
Example Round:
Let's say the Overlord might have wanted a jeep to use.
Stage 1: Introduction
The Overlord sends out their servants on a task and they return, and the Overlord will question their servants and ask them why they failed to bring them the thing they wanted (which will invariable happen, no one ever succeeds).
Stage 2: Defenses
Players can then blame their failure on some random thing (like maybe an elephant destroying the jeep) or someone else in the game; anything to shrug themselves off from fault.
Everyone can then blame someone, themselves, keep silent, or introduce some sort of new feature that happened while acquiring the item (in this case, a jeep). Eventually, the Overlord will process the information and decide who failed.
Stage 3: Punishment
The person chosen to have failed by the Overlord is then thrown out, vaporized, or something creative, by the Overlord's orders. The idea is to not be this person, and to survive as long as possible.
Don't overflow the round. Player defenses will be judged on quality, not length or frequency.
Inter-game rules: The winner of any round is given host-ship of the next game. This can tie in with them going from servant to overlord, or it can be original.
General Guidelines:
Free roleplaying, or game spam, is fine. This means having yourself eat a banana, talk about the weather or river dance.
Whenever someone says something about an event, it becomes fact. It is what happened. If someone says an elephant destroyed a jeep, then anyone calling that person a liar is for certain lying; the jeep was destroyed by an elephant. What's up for telling by someone else is, for example, who set the elephant on the jeep. Also, a character doesn't know what someone else's motives were in doing or saying something -- they can speculate on those motives, but saying about someone, for instance, that "they meant to kill the Overlord" is not automatically factual.
Godmoding pertaining to persons should be restricted to some extent, just try to keep things with at least a hand in plausibility. Powerplaying is allowed. However, it cannot affect players between tasks. For instance, you cannot have a servants contract a disease and be unable to speak, or even die. You can have them be sick during the task, but you cannot impede them during the Sessions before the Overlord.
Normally, the Gamemaster will have technology restricting servants to a base during the game to prevent physically roleplaying and keep the game focused on its purpose. Overlords can power play.
Also, you cannot use an excuse like being brainwashed or cloned during the task. You are you - and you are responsible for what you did wrong.
All posts after the game begins should contain IC text; there should be no posts that are only OOC chatter.
No "backseat moderating". You may ask the Overlord whether someone else's post violates the rules, but do not tell that person, whether by making an OOC comment or PMing them, that they are in the wrong. The Overlord is responsible for managing the game.
Remember to keep things civil, stay inside the board rules, keep all hands and legs inside the game until it comes to a complete stop.

I see. I'm afraid I won't be joining this one after all.
I'm in.
I'll join.
How's it coming Overlord Izeroth?
Edit: the round will begin on Monday, November 9th.
*sighs* I'll play, even though I doubt I'll make it far.
It's been a while. I'll take a crack at it.
A legend returns!
If Daniel gets here, that'll be half of the old gang back.
I don't know if I'm that legendary. That is quite flattering though. Thanks!

I'm not scared.
Can I try? Let's see how far I get before you wordy people trample me. Heh.
Its gonna be a busy round. :o
Too late to join?
I'd love to return once again if it is not too late.
At the end of the castle's greatroom, illuminated in the dim light of candles, stood a polished marble throne. On the throne sat a tall, thin figure, his narrowed eyes gazing contemplatively at the twelve visitors.
The Overlord spoke, addressing the servants in an almost casual voice. "Welcome to my fortress, servants. It's a little off the beaten path, I admit, but it suits our purposes well enough. Now, without further ado-"
He removed a remote control from the pocket of his grey trench coat, pointing it at the wall to activate a holographic display of the fortress' dungeon.
"Over years of neglect and disinterest, my dungeon has become filled with all sorts of unsavory magical creatures. They damage the decor, eat through the insulation, and keep me awake with their annoying howls and shrieks. Despite the best efforts of my exterminators, these vicious beasts have tenaciously resisted removal."
"Your task is simple: enter my dungeon and eliminate all of the goblins, ghouls and other various pests that have taken up residence there. I don't particularly care what method you choose to complete this task; just see to it that every last creature is removed."
The Overlord paused, remembering one more important detail. "Also, make sure that you don't touch any of the experimental technology I've stored down there. It's very unstable, and using it without proper training could result in an unfortunate accident."
---
Five hours later...
The Overlord leaned back on his throne, casting a glance at the staticky hologram display before shutting it off.
"An entire afternoon has left us, and yet the hordes of enchanted scum remain. There doesn't appear to have been any dent made in their numbers or effectiveness whatsoever; if anything, you've only emboldened the fiends in their quest to drive me insane."
"Unfortunately, your incompetence did not end there. Despite the sign clearly stating that it is not a toy, you activated an inter-dimensional portal device I had been working on. Several of my favorite tapestries now reside on a different plane of existence, defying the laws of time and space."
"While I can't say that I'm completely surprised by your conduct, it disappoints me that my servants would fail such a simple mission. I require an explanation as to what went wrong."
Well your Overlordship it's really quite simple. I being the only one qualified for leadership took charge as soon as we got to the dungeon. I had a brilliant plan in mind for what to to, the only problem is, one mistake could have ruined it and it did. I gave that job to the older responsible Matthias and do you know what he did? He goofed off instead of doing his job. I don't know what happened with the machine, ask Sandpaw.
One of the servants, dressed in military fatigues, and wearing a sour glare stepped forward raising his hand.
"M'lord if I might explain. We entered you're dungeons in high spirits and with good moral ready, and willing to clear you're dungeons of every vile pest down there. Me, Skyblade, and James grabbed the nearest nets and started entrapping ghouls, goblins, and elves. Sage Vilu, and Banya snatched up dart guns and started putting trolls werewolves, and witches to sleep. While everyone else grabbed brooms and knocked out all the little annoy creatures. Everyone that is except Mr. Ashen and Mr. Sam. They contended themselves with as they put it, supervising."
"After about thirty minutes I came to the realization that we weren't getting very far. There was far to many creatures running around wildly. Calling a halt to the proceedings I requested ideas from my fellows. James suggested using a giant vacuum, however as Daniel pointed out we had no access to one. Matthias observed we might shoot all the creatures, however as the good Lady Amber pointed out we had no where near enough fire power."
"Then of course Cornflor had the brilliant idea, and I use brilliant sarcastically' of using you're inter dimensional portal to suck away all the vile magical vermin. Everyone agreed that it was indeed an idea that might work. Sage made the point that we had been strictly told not to touch those items, I myself backed Sage saying we should find another way. However James made it clear that we really had no other option, saying you and Sage could go back to catching the creatures in nets while they got rewarded for clearing them out with the portal."
"Well me and Sage did just that, snatching up as many as we could, Skyblade feeling sorry for us joined in, though she did encourage the others. So Sam being the most technically inclined jumped onto the controls and fired up the portal. Now I must admit he was quite adept and sucked in nearly a hundred creatures. But then Ashen and Mathias began complaining they wanted a turn."
"Vilu attempted to take charge right then, however he was ignored and a three way battle began over the controls. And well... What happened next is rather self explanatory. The portal itched a sleeping dragon who set fire to some of the other machines. A load of random stuff got sucked into the portal, and we barley made it out with our lives with a pack of furious magical creatures at our heels."
Stepping back Sandpaw bowed, before going to the position of parade rest.
OOC: You just contradicted me Sand.
OOC: How so?
OOC: I said As soon as we got to the dungeon I took charge, you said I tried to take charge while ya'll were messing with the machine.
OOC: If you want to get technical, that can actually be two separate events. Just because he didn't mention the first time doesn't mean that he said it didn't happen.
That said, long OOC chatter would be better in the OOC thread, or PMed to Izeroth for him to adjudicate. Anyway though, I think I can take care of any discrepancies in my response.
---
"Let me explain more clearly how things got started, and where things went wrong in your servants' attempt to carry out your Majesty's mission."
"It's important that your Majesty knows that Vilu is severely afflicted with delusions of grandeur. He refers to himself as "the Emperor, and the son of a long line of Emperors". He didn't lie when he said that he started bossing everyone around the moment we got there. He told some of us to catch the monsters that could be caught with nets, others to use dart guns, and others to use brooms to sweep small creatures like locusts and tribbles. His ideas actually seemed to be fairly sensible this time, so most of us saw no reason to question them. Sam and Ash said that their doctor had forbidden them to use nets, dart guns, or brooms (which I thought was rather convenient), but that they could make sure we did our jobs correctly."
"As you might expect, they made no positive contributions. In fact, they made things worse. Whenever we trapped a creature in a net, Sam would say that our technique was off. He would then lift the nets back up, letting the ghoul, elf or goblin go, and insist that we do it again. Likewise, Ash went about trying to "correct the aim" of the dart-gun wielders, causing them to miss almost as many shots as they took. Having adequately messed up two teams of workers, Sam and Ash then drafted up teams for broomball and got all of those workers to start slacking off as well. Matthias, who was supposed to be taking care of the tribbles before they could reproduce, was the most enthusiastic player; I think I heard him say he scored three goals."
"Anyway, this continued for thirty minutes, enough time for the tribbles to multiply exponentially. Daniel projected that, now that the tribbles had bred, it would take 17.9 years for us to clean your Majesty's fortress using the methods Vilu had chosen. Clearly, we needed a new strategy, considering that your Majesty had allotted us only a few hours to do the job."
"As Sandpaw said, we had a discussion for several minutes, when Cornflower suggested using the inter-dimensional portal. I would never have recommended it myself if I had known it was experimental technology, but there was a sign on it that read "Unlike all of the other technology down here, this inter-dimensional portal is safe and approved for any purpose, including sucking numerous creatures into other dimensions. Use it to complete the job more quickly." The message was in your Majesty's handwriting, so I assumed that you had left it there to let us know that particular piece of technology was neither experimental nor unapproved for use. Now it looks like somebody must have forged that sign. Anyway, though, that's the reason why we thought it would be a good idea to use it."
"While Sandpaw and his cohorts vainly continued the task of trying to sweep out an ever-increasing flood of tribbles with brooms, Sam, who is a Certified First-Class Teleporter and Portal Operator, began to operate the portal. As Sandpaw mentioned, Ash thought he could do a better job (as usual) and started trying to show Sam how to do it 'correctly'. Matthias hopped into the fight, and the portal began to visibly spin out of control. Vilu shouted, "His Highness the Emperor commands you servants to stop," but by then none of them were listening... and as Sandpaw already mentioned, disaster ensued."
My Lord, I called myself an Emperor for no other reason than I thought that my fellow servants might listen to someone who they thought had royal blood, I never actually meant it.
"M'Lord, the things which have been spoken of me are true, but greatly exaggerated to make these tale-tellers look good. But to say truly, they were not good; not by a long shot. I proposed early on that we use guns to overwhelm the enemy with sheer firepower, but we didn't have enough firearms to go around. I went off searching through every cabinet, chest, and drawer I could find for more weapons. Some may call that slacking, but I believe I was productive; I found every location were there wasn't a gun of some sort. The few guns that I did find were deposited on the floor of the portal room, to be kept close at hand. Daniel had promised to take my job of tribble-clearing, while I went to search for these guns, so even though I was assigned to the task, I went elsewhere instead. It isn't my fault that everyone else wasn't paying attention to where I went.
After I had finished my search, Sam told me that all the creatures had been captured, so we could knock-off early and play broomball. After scoring several times, Daniel ran in, screaming about the tribbles reproducing beyond containment. That's when Cornflower suggested using the portal to clean up the millions of tribbles filling every nook and cranny. Sam started to operate the portal with a skill that could only be described as, masterful. However, Ashen started raising a fuss over how Sam was "hogging the controls" and made quite the scene. Now I'm no inter-dimensional portal operator, but I did take a few classes on quantum mechanics and string theory, so I insisted that if someone else was to take the controls, it should be me. Well, Vilu didn't seem to like someone who wasn't him in charge, and started to charge towards the controls. I tripped him as he passed me, and he tumbled straight into Ash. Vilu jumped up and took a swipe at me; he missed, and ended up punching Ash in the nose. I put myself between them to stop the fighting, but it was too late. Consequntly, I had to fight to keep them from hurting each other and jeopardizing the portal.
The next thing I knew, the portal room was on fire, and Banya and Amber were ripping tapestries from the walls and tossing them through the portal. I tried to stop them, I really did, but by the time I had rushed over to push the emergency portal shutdown switch, it was too late. The tapestries, the guns I had piled up, and a few other items were all sucked in without a trace. You would have to ask Banya and Amber about that, M'Lord."
"I would first like to say that I was not the person who put up the fake note that was in your handwriting.
Like Matthias, Sam had also told me that the creatures had been captured, so we could play broomball. If I had known that they had not been captured, I would have continued working diligently.
Also, I have an explanation for Banya and I throwing the tapestries into the portal. You see, I had read an article online that said that there is a possibility of disabling any kind of portal by throwing in tapestries, draperies, and any other types of heavy cloth, because the fibers of the cloth block the signal that the portal emits, stopping objects from being transported. I told Banya this information, because she was the closest person next to me, and everyone else was busy. She agreed to the plan, and we both started throwing the tapestries into the portal. I tried explaining to Matthias, but for some reason he didn't seem to understand."
OOC: This game is so darn fun :D ;D
BIC: Skyblade stepped forward and bowed deeply. "As mentioned, I used the nets after Vilu told me to. I thought, Why not? Might as well try. However, Sam kept disrupting us, even when I told him repeatedly to stop. It became clear to me that I wasn't going to get anything done this way. I told Vilu this, but he proclaimed rather pompously, "The Emperors knows best." I continued to use the nets, but only because otherwise Vilu would kick me out of the room (in actuality, I was also searching for a better method of killing the beasts).
I was really confused when Sam told me the creatures had been captured, since they were quite obviously still running rampantly around the room. When I objected, Sam told me shut up. He motioned something, which was probably a code, because Ash suddenly tackled me from behind and covered my mouth with super-sticky duct tape. I spent the entire broomball game just getting that off; it was so strong.
Cornflower then suggested using the portal. I did agree that it might work, as Sand said, but I also added that we shouldn't do it regardless since it would be disobeying your orders. James then pointed out a sign on the machine that was presumably written by you. I was still wary, but he and some other servants seemed really confident about the idea. We now know that it was a ruse. If you want to know who was responsible, well, Sage is the only one in the group who knows how to forge handwriting. I certainly wasn't involved.
By the way, I'm the one who ended up stopping the destructive portal. As everything and everyone descended into chaos, I found the switch for the machine and turned it off - had I not, more of your precious belongings would have for sure also been lost. The thing about the tapestries stopping the portal is nonsense. That leads me to believe that Amber's been reading articles from this website called nothingbutlies.com again. The information in that site is, well, all fake. I warned her against using it, but nobody ever listens to me."
Jeez, it's like you think that forging a signature or something is bad. You should see Vilu: he was enthusiastically goading me into forging the afore-mentioned handwriting that he claimed was "signs for his mum." Just as I figured out the truth, masked men burst into the room and took the signs. They had the symbol of the Emperor on their uniforms: Vilu was planning to incriminate me for something I didn't even mean to do. After being robbed, I left the room and planned to finish off the magical creatures before punishing Vilu for his dishonest actions. Before I got around to that, though, the portal came on. Sensing that its controller, Samuel, was endangering the precious items (and our lives), and seeing that I knew the truth about the "non-experimental, totally safe" portal, I attempted to save as many items as I could by stuffing them into rooms. Thanks to Skyblade, however, I had little success. She removed each item I saved, making them go into the portal. I suspect that she was creating more destruction so she could have more glory when she turned off the machine.
"Well, I don't know about Sam, but the items Sage was referring to were actually useless (and unsanitary) creature droppings. They were crowding the room and making it hard to navigate, as well as making us all prone to some type of creature disease. Seeing as how there was no trash can in sight, and by disposing of these I could hinder the other servants' attempts to get rid of your important belongings, I threw them in the portal (with a 10-foot pole, I might add).
I must also clarify something. When someone stops the machine, it doesn't spit back everything that it previously swallowed. What's lost is lost, hence why I couldn't save the tapestries Amber and Banya tossed inside. But it's worth nothing that had I not stopped the machine, the destruction would have been even worse. And also on the bright side, we don't have to deal with those disgusting creature droppings."
Oh dear Overlord, I did do some of these things, but most are misinterpreted or exaggerated. It is true that I didn't help trapping the creatures, but it is because I am seriously allergic to the liquid in the darts. And I looked at the brooms and the nets and they were made by the same company as the darts. And I've had... experiences with things that were made by the same company as those darts. You see, for some reason, the company soaks the nets, brooms, and other things in the liquid, because it makes them "stronger". Add the reason I was trying to help people with capturing the creatures is because I was wearing gloves. If I hold onto those things, even with gloves for too long, then my hands will burn, because the gloves are so thin. And I tried to help as fast as I could. About me saying that the creatures were all captured, well, I was told that by Ash, who said that I should say that instead of him because of my "loud voice", I trusted him because he was one of my better friends of us servants. And I never even played "broomball", I said I would be a referee. Banya said that I should draft a team for some reason, and then choose someone to be Captain instead. (I think she wanted to be Captain). And I was just as surprised when Ash put duct tape on Skyblade's mouth. I do admit that he said he wanted to put duct tape on Sky's mouth, and he wanted to shut her up. I joked and said that you should shut her up, and to my surprise, he did. About the portal, I thought it was safe at first, but then Ash tried to take the controls, and hit a few buttons. I tried to stop it, but Ash pushed me away. And the third time I tried to stop him, he even pushed me to the wall, and used the same duct tape on me and duct taped me to the wall. I tried to call for help, but no one noticed me, even before he duct taped my mouth. I thought he was my friend before that, but apparently he is not. Everyone almost forgot me, but luckily, Sandpaw pitied me, and tried to get it off. Luckily, he found a scissor somewhere.
Sky is obviously un-taught in teh science of creature droppings. I was moving them into storage - next time such an infestation took place, I could use the droppings to lure the creatures out from their hiding places. She was cutting off my long-term plans for extermination.
My King, I have a perfectly good reason for goading and having Sage robbed. It was just after I was hired to be your Illustriousness' servant, I was bet by a acquaintance to do what I did to Sage. The acquaintance was the infamous assassin Rulch and he said if I didn't do it or if I lost he would assassinate your Majesty. What else could I do? Having such a great love for your Highness I took the bet and luckily managed to succeed thus saving you life.

Nothingbutlies.com is a very trustworthy website. It has such a strange name because it takes commonly known things that people say that are actually not true, and says the correct things about them. That's what they deal with: lies, and nothing but lies. Skye thought the website's information was fake because of the name. In fact, she told me one time that a friend of hers told her that she had received information that said that the website was false, which explains why Skye thought that. However, Skye's friend was actually lying, because all the major websites that review other websites say that nothingbutlies.com is a "very trustworthy website, and has never lied once".

The website nothingbutlies.com stated that if you clog the portal with tapestries, and if you shut it down after, it will spit out the tapestries, because that is what was clogging it. That is why I threw the tapestries in, because I knew that it would fix the problem and that the tapestries could be saved.

Apparently Sky forgot that I had explicitly stated that everybody was to capture creature droppings and in no way dispose of them. She violated this and got rid of the droppings, foiling my plans to eradicate any future infestations of magical vermin as said above.
OOC: Sage, I think we should stop ;)
(I'm replying only to rebut a serious accusation)
BIC: "I wasn't around when Sage said the thing about the creature droppings (I think that was after the other servants ruined our house and I left to get supplies to fix it). Perhaps he told someone else to inform me later, in which case it really isn't his fault. But anyway, I didn't know about Sage's order at all."
OOC: Draw. ;)
I wasn't told to inform Skye about saving the creature droppings, and I had no part in ruining our house.
