I got it for killing you. Also you lied, you had two items.

I just got those berries, I don't think I lied at the time.

Is there a list of what all the items did?

Also, I'm never cursing myself again.

MacGuffins
Skull - Dead Role Check (once used, it can only check the same person)

Promissory Note (Can collect another player’s vote)

Rare Book (tells about tseng-ko)
It appears to be a book on botany and plant-derived drugs. One particularly interesting chapter tells of a mysterious drug called Tseng-Ko, which makes the imbiber highly suggestible, to the point that they will answer yes to any question put to them.

Silver Buddha
It is clearly of oriental design.

Clock
YOu can consult the clock once per Night to learn what time it is.

Green Jade Hand
It is clearly of oriental design.

Safe
Once per night, you can put something into, or take something out of the safe. The safe may only hold one item at a time, and items locked in the safe cannot be used until they are removed.

Stock Certificate (can be cashed in for votes)

Handkerchief (with a message on it regarding a plot twist)
You are surprised to find that there is a message written inside. It says:

"I know you two think this is very funny, masquerading as one another, but you're going to get found out eventually, and there will be Hell to pay. I advise you to give up the charade at once."

Telegram (info regarding a plot twist)
It is not addressed to you, and you really shouldn't read other people's communications, but you do anyway. It says: "Results of your genealogy test are in STOP Suspicions confirmed STOP You do indeed have a long lost twin STOP I look forward to reuniting you, longer message with details to follow."

Will (reward for killing one particular person)
Surprisingly, it belongs to Zomberella12. It reads: "Whosoever holds this will at the time of my death will receive my entire fortune.” That's a weird thing to put in your will, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Julu berries

Amber Necklace
It looks great on you!

Two-Headed Elephant charm
It is clearly of oriental design.

Silver Coin
It is clearly of oriental design.

Key (opens the safe) If you try to steal an item, you will be able to get into the safe or vault.

Ivory Arrow
It sure is pretty, but would probably break if you actually tried to fire it from a bow.

Ivory Ball
It is clearly of oriental design.

Ear tubes
They let you hear like the dickens! Every night, you will overhear part of a BTS conversation or a PM.

Bottle (contains an oriental drug tseng-ko that makes the person who takes it have to answer every question “yes.”)
a shiny new bottle.
Blowing dust off the label, you see that it contains a rare oriental drug called Tseng-ko, which causes extreme suggestibility when administered. Each night, you can give the drug to another player, and they will have to answer all questions the next day in the affirmative.

Nothing (the first person who vote for nothing gets nothing. All subsequent votes for nothing will get something, a piece of info on what an item does)

So, I read it as closer to what BF said than S~V~S. And I can see how it implies that the person named in the Will is rich - "entire fortune" sounds like an entire fortune. What was your angle, S~V~S, was this you trying to help the baddies on purpose?

Trust your instincts.

Ha! I knew Nothing was something.

By the way, your welcome TH (and SVS) for stating in thread what my item was and that it was Oriental.

Though it seems you may have figured it out anyway with the book.

Trust your instincts.

Let's start over, but this time not have blindfaeth suggest what his document says.

I thought it was closer to what I said

I had no agenda, I was just trying to paraphrase it. When Zomba tried to imply it exonerated her, if you recall, that was when I started to go after her. Until Golden convinced me she was not bad.

The person named in the will was assigned randomly to Zombarella, and I was a little dismayed that BF shared that info with the whole thread and that it became taken as an indicator of Zomberella's guilt. I felt like I had painted a target on her back, which I had not intended to do. The point of the will was to give one player a private incentive to kill a particular person that may or may not have been consistent with their other goals. I was a little surprised at how eager everyone was to share details about their items. If I had to do it over again, I might have prohibited talking about them.

Outside of blindfaeth, the only real chatter about items seemed to come about when players had their items stolen, or when players were about to die, at least early on in the game. I didn't pay attention to everything that happened after I died.

Too bad my curse on SVS didn't really work.

The best item-related chatter came from SVS when she thanked the Buddha for saving her life

And the Celestials were divided over Zomba. I felt SVS got a bad rap for what she said in the thread after reading the will, she was still suspicious of Zomba but was defending her from BF's wrongful accusation, but no one really saw it like that. I was the one who pointed out in celestial chat that the will didn't expressly say the owner of it was wealthy, so it didn't sound like it implied a specific role for Zomba at all. So I thought BF had read way too much into the will's contents. And he had, even though he turned out to be right :P

So SVS pointed out in the thread what the will really said, but she was actually still suspicious of Zomba's reaction to it. It was Golden and I who thought Zomba could still be civ based on her reaction. Since I disagreed with BF's interpretation of the will, I felt inclined to trust Zomba a bit more.

You also tunnelvisioned me on Day 2 and Zomba was my top suspicion. That probably didn't help you Celestials look at Zomba. :P

Truth

Technically BF was only barely right. Zomba wasn't the millionaire, the will wasn't info, he read too much into it and the fact the will named a baddie at all was purely coincidental. For the record, I'd have said all the things I said even if the will didn't name a baddie and even if I wasn't bad myself.

people keep suggesting in threads which items might be celestial but we knew what we needed the whole time. We had gotten most of them in the start poll, and then we robbed BR (I think?) night 1 to get another.

At the time, I thought I was the only person who knew that the bottle held an Oriental drug. And when TH spoke up and said he had it (when Epignosis should have had it), I was surprised he would be so blatant about it. Why did you say that anyway, TH?

That was a hint to LC that I had received the bottle from him, and that DP and I were Celestials.

At least that was confirmed for me. My face was the opposite of this:

Also, I felt really bad when Canuck was upset by me getting annoyed at her wanting to follow my vote that one day.

My vote was forced to vote for my teammate, TH, that day, and I was like WTF? And jumped to an incorrect conclusion. In retrospect it would have been ridiculously obvious of her to have done that had she been part of the team that forced me, but at the time it freaked me out immensely.

Robbed and killed night 1, what a sad day for a sweet lady.

If the celestials don't have then likely the civvies don't either.

Then there was LC who was NKed.......

Get anything JC......

Waldo could have up to what 6 items.....

Rabbit8 (7), Dom (9), Long Con (10), Elohcin (11), juliets (12), Black Rock (13), Bullzeye (14), S~V~S (15), Bass_the_Clever (16), birdwithteeth11 (17)

My attempt to hint at trading the amber necklace with the Celestials.

I suck.

Since your whole powerinvolved items, and you started with no items, I was amazied you never voted first to try to gain some.

Was it said what the enthraller did?

It was a role/item block for two people.

I was thinking about it, Lama. But never felt that strong during lynches. Until it was Bullz.

I was even wavering on Zomba due to Golden and SVS.....

That was Metalmarsh 2.0 after he replaced in for A Person and took Bass's role who replaced the Sock.

This is probably due to the influx of the RM civvie culture. For what its worth, I don't think games that paint targets on the back of individuals are necessarily bad. Zombs did a very good job of working hard to turn it around, and bf was really the one who got lynched as a result of the info being shared. I don't think it is necessarily a negative either for the game or for the skill of an individual to have to go through a pressure test of having a target on their backs.

Of course, I would say that - I'm adept at painting a target on my own back by accident and then being forced into defending myself for the rest of the game.

I do not play this game
