New Beginnings...
April 11, 2006 - Posted by Supreme Commander at 7:55 AM
Hello again…
Thanks for coming out to the Drinkathon on Sunday…I’m pleased to hear that many of you were unable to make it to work the next day…and I have heard numerous stories of people taking work naps in stairwells and bathrooms. I applaud your exhaustion.
It was truly a pleasure to meet those of you that came out and to get drunk with you…liquor rarely tastes so sweet than in the company of worthy assassins.
I thank you for your company…and for all the fine wettings you gave me.
So…how does it feel now?
4 weeks of action, paranoia and copious amounts of liquor and now it is all over…no more hunting, no more being stalked…everything goes back to normal, though hopefully you still keep up with the drinking…
And while you drink your liquor from your fine stemware come read a few more stories and peep some pictures for the last days of the game and the party…
Indeed, I will be posting more stories and pictures in the next few days, as well as a page chronicling the winners of the various awards…give you a chance to wean yourself slowly from the crack that is Streetwars…
And now, once again player stories…
[And this evening - The Death of the Supreme Commander - ]

(The following is all true, except for the parts that aren't)
Blind Date With An Assassin
OR
Another Way To Make A Girl Wet
When it came down to the final deadly 17, the blog became suddenly very quiet. No one was going to give anything up, to either their hunter or their prey. In order to stir things, I decided to call out Smoke & Mirrors' target, Lady T., using an obvious pseudonym. To my surprise, she posted back. I couldn't believe she was that dumb.
I started a conversation with her posing as a solo assassin. I made a lame excuse to invite her out for drinks ("my last target didn't look like his picture"). I was really just toying with her, as Smoke & Mirrors already had a plan to take her out. She quickly wrote back, agreeing to drinks. I couldn't believe she was that dumb.
I called Lady T. and we decided to meet at Tiki Ti at 8. I gave her my description and told her I would see her there. I quickly called up the rest of the team and canceled the earlier plans. We decided that Mordeth and Agent Pedestrian would arrive at Tiki Ti at 8:15, and then wait for Lady T. to leave. I couldn't believe she was that dumb.
I arrived at Tiki Ti at about 7:45, feeling pretty smug about how easy this kill was going to be. I didn't mind being the decoy, as long as the team got the kill. I ordered a drink and settled down at the bar to wait. I couldn't believe she was that dumb.
I had barely set my Blue Hawaiian down from my first sip when someone grabbed my arm and yanked me out the door. A small pistol was jammed into my ribs and two squirts neutralized me.
She wasn't that dumb.
Before I fully realized what had happened, we were in her car, driving away. The plan was blown. Thinking quickly, I opened my cell phone in my jacket pocket and speed dialed Mordeth by touch. I could only hope that he could hear our conversation.
Me: "Where are we going?"
Lady T.: "Someplace safe."
Well that wasn't going to help. I took a moment to assess my prey turned kidnapper. Holy Iansa! She was hot. Long black coat, boots with five inch heels and a cleavage you could fall into (not to mention her lady-like gun, still pointed at me); she was a real life femme fatale.
We pulled into a parking lot after a few minutes. "Ye Rustic Inn!", I said as loud as I could, hoping Mordeth was still on the line.
Lady T: "I like Ye Rustic Inn. I've spent Christmas here a couple of times."
Now, no one out Bukowskis Exu.
Me: "I had a beer here once at 8 in the morning while waiting to pay my gas bill next door. You have to love those pink bills."
We went in and ordered. They didn't have cachaca, so I had a beer. She had a vodka martini, three olives. We took a table in the back and started talking about the game. I told her a pack of lies about my career as a solo killer. She told me about her punk-ass bitch of a target, who hasn't left his work since the game began. I hoped that Mordeth and Pedestrian knew where I was. I didn't want to waste a whole night of hunting.
A second round was ordered. The talk became more personal. The glances became smokier. I began to hope that the rest of Smoke & Mirrors didn't know where I was.
I glanced up and saw Smoke & Mirrors' own femme fatale, Pedestrian, walking through the bar. I gave her a nod and she headed back outside.
Me: "I could use a cigarette"
Lady T: "Me too."
Lady T bummed a cigarette from the bartender and we headed outside. As I passed through the door I felt a squirt on the back of my head.
Me: "Hey! What was that for?"
Lady T.: "I just wanted to make sure."
I glanced over and saw Pedestrian smoking. I couldn't see Mordeth (he was covering the back door). Lady T. asked Pedestrian for a light. Pedestrian handed Lady T her cigarette. Then, while Lady T was occupied, Pedestrian reached into her bag, brought out her weapon, and ended Lady T's life.
We went back inside for a celebratory cocktail Mordeth looked across the table at Lady T. and me and gave us a knowing leer. I couldn't help but feel that I was forgetting something.
We finished our drinks and got up to leave. Mordeth again gave me that look and said, "You get home safe, Exu." Again, I had the nagging feeling that I was forgetting something. I went down the list; altoids, check, condoms, check, gun, check, back-up gun, check. As far as I could tell, I was totally prepared.
I walked Lady T. to her car.
Me: "So, would you like to come to my place for another drink?"
Lady T. smiled at me and gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Maybe another night. After all, I just died." I watched her get into her car and drive off. Once again, I felt like there was something I should remember. I turned to go to my car and…DAMN!
I started walking.
To my car.
At Tiki Ti.
Exu

Trading Card # 2, Suckaz
March 28, 2006 - Posted by Supreme Commander at 7:50 PM
You thought the Supreme Commander Trading card was the only one?
That would be like Cobra Commander with no Destro...and having it end there would be only telling a tiny part the story of the Shadow Government...
Oh yes, there will be more...

The World Domination plan of the Shadow Government continues tonight, as CNN drops some knowledge on our EVIL and VIOLENT little contest.

The 4pm hour of programming (shortened version)

Peep it.
You will see Agent Tuna get a kill.
