There's a reason I said rey was not bad

DP and reywaS were the only Narrow Gauge Engines to have BTSC. Others were successful in their searches, but one of them was killed the Night they searched.

Also Snow Dog, there's something about your role that you didn't know.

The Night polls determined who would receive a Really Useful Engine Badge. If you got three of them, you could choose to be protected the next Night or have your name off the poll the Day following the next Night.

The "correct" choice in each Night poll was whichever one Sir Topham Hatt chose.

Here is Emily's secret (which Hedgeowl only got to use one time):

Emily – The newest member of the Sodor Steamworks just wants to be included!
*Secret* Emily wants to help and share and learn more about the other engines on Sodor. If she receives any votes during the Day but survives, she may “ask” each person who voted for her one of the following questions:

- Do you have any close friends to talk to? (Emily learns if the player has BTSC)
- What kind of work did you do last night? (Emily learns who the player targeted on the previous Night)
- Are you a really useful engine? (Emily learns how many Really Useful Engine badges the player has won)
- Can I help you with that? (Emily will give the player twice their ability the next Night)
- I really don’t think you should be doing that, do you? (Emily blocks the player)

Quite a brilliant move actually. So then Andrew took out Nev?

Yes.

Lizzy sent in the PM for McViper to be scrapped on Night 9. I didn't see a reason to wait nine hours to end the game, since there was no guarding against it.
Oh. I was hoping she would go for me.

The Diesels knew your role from almost the beginning. They used Mavis to switch the decommission vote to you, which is why no one got lynched Day 3. So they figured you out and knew not to waste a scrap on you.

The biggest thing I feel bad about is you leading the charge against A Person. On Night 7, you redirected A Person's action to Lizzy. Lizzy chose to forgo any biffing and instead pretended to be insanified on Day 8. That of course framed A Person. I could not believe how well that ruse worked out for her.

McViper was the last of the steam engines, and the diesels scrapped him. That put Snow Dog (Sir Topham Hatt) out of a job, leaving us with Lizzy and reywaS. This would result in a tie (even if reywaS came in to vote), in which no one would be decommissioned. And the diesels would scrap reywaS on Night 10.

By scrapping Mcviper, Lizzy just sealed a victory for the Dirty Diesels.

Endgame:

‘Arry managed to get to the yard where Diesel 10, Bert, and Mavis were being stored. Luckily for him, they had not been used for spare parts.

“Wake up!” ‘Arry said. “The Minister of Transport is here to sack Sir Topham Hatt!”

And indeed he was. “Sir Topham Hatt!” the minister exclaimed. “You have allowed confusion and delay! You are hereby relieved of your position. You shall be henceforth transferred to the United States of America, where you shall wash the windows and scrub the loos for a fine dining establishment known as The Waffle House. Pack your belongings!”

“Heh heh heh” said ‘Arry, who had for some time now been going under the name “Lizzy.”

The Island of Sodor was a wreck. Nothing was delivered on time, and commerce failed. People wanted to leave. But ‘Arry had other plans. Out of his exhaust pipe came a thick black smoke that seemed to have a life of its own!

And it devoured every single inhabitant on the Island of Sodor.

Except John Locke, who became the Bald Controller.

Night 9

Flora is a steam tram on the Island of Sodor, and her tram car is her pride and joy. She’s very happy to be one of the Sodor engines and she’s proud to be able to travel on roads or tracks.

One winter day, Flora is chugging along the tracks with her car full of passengers. She is taking them to a mountain on the Island of Sodor, called The Black Rock, for a day of winter fun and hot chocolate. Unfortunately, she comes across a snowdrift and crashes right into it, ending up trapped in the snow.

“Cinders and ashes,” cries Flora.

Bertie, a friendly bus who is always ready to help any engine, comes to the passengers’ rescue.

What winter activity should the passengers take part in?

Night 5

The Sodor Construction Company is working on clearing ground to build houses for a company called the Dharma Initiative. Monty and Max, part of the construction company pack, are devious and troublesome dump truck twins. On the job site they begin to play tricks on the construction workers by hauling bricks where rocks should go and hauling timber where the bricks should go. Miss Jenny becomes cross and she sends Max and Monty back to the shed.

Who should take the place of Max and Monty on this important job?

Krissy has been decommissioned. She was Mavis.

It is now Night 5. You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

My understanding is that the Welsh have their own bad language. It is very bad indeed. Much like the Ents, it takes all afternoon just to say "Good Morning."

Night 2

The Island of Sodor is preparing for Sodor Day. Cranky the crane is cross because he never gets to attend any parties with The Others on the island. Despite his gruff nature, Cranky always keeps things moving at Brendam Docks. He often works with Harold, a good hearted helicopter who brings supplies to the island from the mainland.

Today, Harold is trying to figure out how many boxes of balloons the event planners will need for the Sodor Day celebrations, but no one is there to give him advice, and Cranky is too cross to tell him. The pilot, Frank, warns him not to take too many because Harold has a fuel leakage.

How many boxes of balloons should Harold take?

thellama73 has been decommissioned. He was Sir Handel.
