I like Smee's suggestion. However, since I hate agreeing with anyone, here's another way to go:
Don't let on that the real Smee is escaped. Put him back in easily escapable chains and let life continue as normal.
Work on Nallon. Offer him a better deal than he's going to be getting from the fake Smee. Maybe even offer him... *gulp*... guild membership, if he helps out the real Smee.
All he has to do to get it is incapacitate the fake Mayor while he sleeps...

One of us fell to his alleged death remember, saving his almighty smarminess.
I like Smee's idea. OR we could send Mordok in. The impostor would be surprised at either who the new fellow is or get caught up in greeting him. Then the real Smee could enter all guns blazing?

That's it, we send in Mordok! He still has the keys to the City Council Chambers, but he's been gone so long he hasn't figured in the imposter's plans. He'd be the perfect person to whack the Mayor on the head.
I also like Smee's ideas of distracting the new Mayor.

SLIME! 
Good chapter China, and thanks for making me a featured character! I feel so loved! *melts*
I like the idea of bopping, but we have to get up close to do that. Maybe if we lock the real Smee back up, loosely, and then go to the mayoral inaugriation, then get close, and wait til he's sleeping and then bop. And bop hard! Harder than we have ever bopped before! :biggrin:

I like the Mordok idea, and maybe even pair him up with Reiso and Shanty, our two retired moderators (I can't think of any more that have retired) and they can catch him by surprise. And do the already mentioned bopping on the head.

Mmm. Head bopping seems to be the popular choice. I will get a new poll up once I have PMd Smee and he has eliminated the old one. Unless we can do in ourselves now? *Goes to check*

When am I coming in? I need to test out my new machines, and it's safer (and less costly) for me to do it on someone elses forum. That way I don't get the bill for damages.
Or I could just join in the petitioning of Smee, saying that the mayor always has to test out one of my inventions. It says in the Inventor's Clause of the Ifian law Book, sub-section HRHHJE, paragraph 4768792, as part of the InterFablicic rules version 2.877349.And you have to get those details right.
Or maybe you could get them wrong and he'll spend so much time looking for it we'll have plenty of time to bop him on the head.

I volunteer to "bop" the fake Mayor on the head, heck I'll volunteer to "bop" them both on the head for good measure. Then you can sort them out later.

Excuse me? Lordy doesn't have an evil twin brother - just think about it.
A good angelic brother prehaps, but an evil brother would most likely have destroyed IF by now, and that would never be good.

*Starts singing in the fashion of Nightmare before Christmas*
Kill Mr. fake old mayor,
bop him on the head,
lock him in a metal box,
and wait until he's dead!
Kidnap Mr. fake old mayor,
expose that he is false,
put him in a little room,
and then see if he talks!

Hey Meany, I would really stop holding your breath. If Soily comes in he's gonna get really mad. He has a patent on it. So, just to annoy him, here goes:

Chapter 11 – Woe is Smee!
The Shapeshifter currently taking the form of Smee leaned back on the Mayoral chair, made from the skin of various enemies of Key. It was soft and silky to the touch, though it sagged a little in the middle where Key’s ample form had created a hollow. Still, nothing that a cushion couldn’t fix.
Smee2 swiveled around once more and then paid more attention to the desk in front of him. The wood was shiny and smooth, and he stroked it lovingly. At this very desk he could plot the downfall of IF for his master! The rewards would be… delightful. Smee2 threw his head back and laughed.
“Someone is in a good mood” said a voice.
Smee2 looked up. No one was there.
“Hey, I am here!”
He leaned over the desk and peered down to see the diminutive form of the Fat Fairy standing on the carpet. As he watched she launched herself with a grunt into the air, landing with a thump on the desk a moment later.
“Fauna” Smee2 forced a friendly grin onto his face. She would be the first to go, once he had conslidated his position. For now though, he needed to play along. “What a happy surprise! I have only just sat down in the Mayor’s seat and my delightful best chum is here to help me celebrate. Let’s see, I am sure Key must have left some Alcofrol somewhere about here.” He stared to look around the desk.
“Well, that’s nice of you, but I am here to petition you in your official Mayoral capacity.”
Smee2 rearranged his face carefully into a look of concern and leaned forward. “Of course. How can I be of service to our beloved Fauna?”
“It’s that darned Stoat! I agreed to vote for you as long as you made sure the cream cakes came to me first! Well, I have lived up to my side of the bargain! What are you going to do about this?” She sat down on an empty ink-pot.
Smee2 opened his mouth to answer.
“Hello? Anyone here?” came another voice before he could speak.
“Hello Soily” said Fauna from the desk as the brown mound shambled forward.
“Mr Solomon” said Smee2, trying his best not to look at the mess left behind on the carpet. After Fauna, a nice heavy shower… “How nice to see you, I hope you are settling into the, er, your new forum nicely?”
“Going well thank-you Mr.Mayor!” Smiled the dirt mound, slumping into a chair, making Smee2 wince.
“Is this just a social call Mr. Solomon? I am rather busy as you can see,” he gestured around at the office in the hope Solomon would take a hint.
“Actually, it’s about the Skiffy guild” replied the mound.
“The…?”
“You know, we said we would start a new Skiffy guild, and I am going to need a new Hidden Forum.”
“Oh yes, yes of course…” Started Smee2.
“After you have dealt with my little complaint first of course” interrupted Fauna.
“Now, well yes…” Smee2 said.
“Smee! There you are! I need an urgent word with you!”
“Hey Lordy! How’s it going? Take a seat.” Solomon pulled over another seat, staining the covering beyond repair.
“Yes, it’s lovely to see you Lord of the Night” Smee2 said, “However…”
“I want to complain about Ravenwing!” Lordy shouted, cutting him off. “She has been laughing at my alter ego again, and it is most upsetting!”
“Your alter ego?” Smee2 said.
“You know…” Suddenly there was a cute fluffy doll standing on the spot where the demon was a moment ago. “This one! You know how sensitive I am about it” the doll continued in a squeaky voice.
Solomon sniggered. “Ahh! How cute!”
“Don’t you start!” the doll replied, shaking a tiny fist.
“Now, I am sure you are quite up to handling…” Smee began.
“I am afraid that Smee is helping me first” said Fauna.
“After the new Skiffy project! City business must take precedence you know!” Soily retorted.
“I was here first” Fauna stood up and pointed a finger at Soily.
“Please everyone, I am sure…”
“So, what are you going to do about it?” said Lordy.
“What? Oh well, as I was saying…” Smee2 attempted to speak, half standing out of his chair.
“There he is! Look at him!” The doors banged open and the scaly figure of Rai barged in. “Mr. Mayor! You simply must take that Demon in hand! He has been EVIL again and you know how that upsets me! You wouldn’t want an upset dragon now would you?”
Smee slumped back on his seat. “I am sure…”
“You will have to wait your turn, Mr. Mayor is dealing with my problem! Aren’t you Smee?” said Lordy, batting his button eyes cutely.
“I…”
“Not until he has helped me secure those items from that darned Stoat.”
“The…”
“No no! A new guild is priority!”
Smee2’s head swiveled, trying to keep up with the conversation.
“Ah, it’s a meeting!” The door swung open again to introduce a large Orc into the tale. “Smee! I need to ask you about the sound in my storygames! What do you think…”
“Well…”
“There you are! Now you are here you can back me up about those deliveries,” Fauna stood up.
“Are you still on about those cakes? That can wait, what do you say Smee?” said Omega Terra, striding up and standing next to the desk.
“It’s…”
“Now just wait your turn Orc! I happen to be on Mod business here, your little sound problems must come after…” Soily shook a hand, shedding mould.
“They are important for the future of the city! Right Smee?” The Orc moved a little closer.
“Surely…”
“Hello there! Am I intruding? Just wanted to ask The Mayor something, couldn’t find Ingro.” An imposing figure in orange wizard’s robes strode in.
“He is going to listen to me” snarled Rai, smoke curling up.
Smee2 put his head in his hands. “Yes, don’t worry Rai, I am sure I can deal with your problem. Now, what is it Ravagerrr?” he asked, trying to regain control of the conversation.
“Just wanted to know when Story Game of the Month was starting. It’s late…”
“Well, Ingro…” the Mayor started.
“Smee is busy with my request” said Soily, “Mod business you know. Here, I even have the paperwork for you.” He slapped down a complex looking form on the desk.
“Well, here is my official complaint document!” said Lordy, back in his demon form. He put a piece of paper over Soily’s.
“Now you two! I am first in line, and I have been Mod longer than you Soily!” Fauna stood on the two pieces of paper.
“Mr. Mayor! Smee! Can I be in the Fantasy Guild yet? I have been eversogood!” Nalloon peeked over the edge of the desk.
Smee2 looked at him. “How did you get…”
There was a ‘bop’ sound and everything went black.
>
“…hit him too hard.”
Smee2 opened his eyes. A circle of faces were above him, including, he noted, the real Smee.
“He is coming around! I told you I bopped him properly!” said the Orc.
“Who are you? What do you want?” the real Smee said.
Smee2 grinned, a wider grin than really possible with Smee’s real face. “You may have stopped me here, but my master has other irons in the fire! You will never beat him!”
“Look! What’s happening?”
“Quick! Stop him!”
“He is changing shape! Cast a spell!”
“I left mine in the other robe!”
“A fireball!”
“NO! Not in my new office!”
“Catch him! Hold him down!”
“I am trying! He is slippery! He is some sort of goo!”
“Stamp on him! Orc, get him! Look out, he is sliding away down the cracks!”
“Stand back! I will cast a freeze spell.”
“Wait! I’ve got him!”
“That’s me! Let go!”
“Sorry Soily!”
“Quick, Lordy, start the Dance of Freezing!”
“Which one is that again?”
“Hurry! He is getting away!”
“You know! I taught you last week!”
“I can’t hold him! He’s too slippery!”
“You never did? Did he Soily?”
“I can’t remember, is that the one that goes ‘oompedy doomety’?”
“Urg! He is disgusting!”
“No no! That’s the dance of Marshmallows!”
“I am sure it was the dance of freezing.”
“You guys.”
“No, no, the dance of freezing goes Dumpity dumm…”
“Guys!”
“I was sure it was oompedy…”
“GUYS!” Shouted Fauna.
“What?” Said Smee, finger still raised at Lordy.
“He’s gone.”
“Who? Oh, the imposter. Damn.” Smee remembered why he was going to cast the spell. “Well, never mind. I am sure he will turn up again. I will get him next time, assuming Lordy can remember a simple Spell Dance that is.”
“Hey! That’s not fair!”
“So,” said Smee. “As you helped him get away you two can help me look for the Mod machine.”
“Mod machine?” said Soily and Lordy together.
“Yes. A fiendish machine that will allow anyone to have mod status, even lowly Nalloon here.” Smee gestured at the figure near his desk.
“Hey!”
“So then. Where should we start looking for this ‘ere machine?” asked Lordy.
“A good question” Smee rubbed his chin. “Hey! Soily! Careful with that chair!”
>>>>>>
So, the imposter has been chased away and Smee is back in control, well, as much as is possible in IF anyway, and he can finally begin his search for the Mod machine, with Soily and Lordy helping him.
Where should he begin the search?

| Maybe try Smee's mansion, it's possible the mod machine was a tool of the false Smee.

For me, there's only one place the mod-machine can be.
It's a black-market device. It has to be in the Market Bizarre. Then the people who are trying to destroy IF can also drain its economy by making everyone pay to become Moderators!
I'll bet that Zogby's been luring people into her/his(?) tent and making them mods in return for the silver fables crossing its gender-unspecific palm. Bad Zogby!

No no no, that's not good enough!
Don't you see, that while we've been talking and discussing on how to get rid of the Fake Smee, Chinaren Inc. has obtained the device and is currently analyzing it?
Alas, when they are done, they'll be handing out Badges of Moderation, and the City will collapse!
There is only one way to stop this...
We must find the self-destruct button in the factory and blow it halfway to hell!
This will require stealth, cunning, and many cool spy devices, for the button is on the underside of Chinaren's desk, surrounded by many guards and redundant guardian computer systems.
It will also require speed, as the device does not set a very long timer for escaping once pushed.
Alas, if only there was a simpler way...

If I were an evil genius intent on destroying the City, I'd take the mod machine to the registration wall, and mod the evil spammers waiting outside
Good thing I'm not. But let's check the registration wall just in case that's their idea too.

Hilarious chapter Chinny 
Clearly Smee2 would want it somewhere safe where he had complete power. As fake mayor and fake smee then the Fantasy Forest was the ideal place to hide it. Some dark cave, or some hidden clearing idea for a battle or picnic.
Then he could mod'ify' any and all the random monsters and creatures that frequent and live in the forest to the doom of the city
