Mongoose wrote:A mysterious message for you:

"Meow."

You wake from your slumber to the diminutive sound.

"Meow. Meow. Meowmeowmeow."

The sounds multiply, and you feel the bed beneath you begin to dissolve. Startled fully awake, you try to sit up.

"meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowme-"

Your bed is dissolving into tiny, bug-sized kittens! Groping out wildly, you try to grab the bedframe, but it dissolves as well, and you find yourself squeezing a handful of microkittens. Each kitten flattens its ears and hisses angrily as you tumble into the vortex of fur and tiny, pinlike claws.

You land with a thud on your back, on a wide expanse of black leather. You feel yourself begin to grow, laying prone, and as your perspective grows, you realize you are on a giant dentist's chair. You continue to grow until the chair is just your size, and you realize your hands have grown through leather straps, binding them down.

A blinding light turns on, shining down into your eyes, and you hear a stern, echoing voice:

"?em fo kniht uoy od tahw ,niuQ"

You feel compelled to answer:

"!edud ,tey tsuj tsil ym ffo uoy dessorc t'nevah I"

You awaken with a gasp, and the tiny scratches all over your arms leave you wondering what is real...

I'm pretty sure these are references to when I discussed my cat with 3J in the beginning and getting my wisdom teeth out. The latter was what made me think it was LC, because we talked about it in another game. Funnily enough, it was not when he asked me the same question in thread as the question he asked me in the PM. I'm very stupid.

I'll post the one he sent me, juliets.

@Epi - I realised it was 3J as well, but I didn't see his name. I just noticed the similarities between 3J's and the Casual Friday's posting style.

Epignosis wrote:Long Con, what did Quin realize that I was lying about?

I was referring to 3J's name being included in the Casual Friday post.

...I did not see this.

What slip up was this?

juliets wrote:Who had the +2 vote and who had the -1 vote? And Quin, was the thing you figured out but didn't want to tell us that JJJ was Casual Friday?

It was, yeah. The first message they sent made me think it was marmot at first (it wasn't a strong thought, but whatever), but the writing style did a 180 and it became kind of obvious who it was. The only thing missing from his message was the word 'inspired'.

Boomslang wrote:Who has two thumbs and cast four out of four mafia votes? This guy. Good game, civs!

I do want to say that I saved Quin—completely by accident. I used my Skinny Jeans power the night before the lynch on him, but I read the power as taking one away from the value of HIS vote, not of the tally FOR him in the poll. So I voted for him, thinking I'd lynch him, when in fact I canceled out my own vote and forced a tie. I guess it worked out to buy us another day?

Too bad he was a civilian

At least me, Quin, and LC can take pride in our inaccuracy.
At least we were wrong... together.

Next time the three of us have compatible reads, we should probably just reassess everything.

...And, y'know, missing the mark on every single other one

You absolutely ruined me

Also, there was a period in the beginning where I seriously wondered whether I was a secret baddie who didn't actually know it at the time.

On night 1, I was role blocked and nobody was killed, and the next two nights my silence targets were killed.

I was messaging Mongoose like ?!?????????????????????????????????help????????????

In fact, I was still desperately holding onto my suspicion of Boomslang in the hopes that I could have contributed something of merit. I was helpful in literally zero aspects in this game.

I was an embarrassment in this game. I am sorry.

Please take this as a sign that for the next five or six games, you should consider believing the opposite of each and every one of my reads.

It's been 24 hours since I took flight at the end of the water slide, and there is still no sign of descent. I fear that I will die up here. I had to pee earlier, I hope nobody below had their mouth open.

Scotty wrote:Man sorry llama. Wish we knew more about his secret role.

Yo Quin, you said you figured out who you think the Denim Shirt is.

Care to enlighten?

no

Question for the host:

Are these events (the item thing and the labyrinth thing) triggered by a certain role? Or is it a schedule event rather than a 'triggered' event?

Quin wrote:I might know who the denim suit is. I've been thinking about it and I've narrowed it down.

Ok yeah, I know for sure. Hi guy.

I might know who the denim suit is. I've been thinking about it and I've narrowed it down.

Epignosis wrote:I'm sorry for missing the vote. A member of my family had a meltdown and that needed addressing.

Who would you have voted?

My answer was 'Absolutely.'
and it always seems to be Made making those too close for comfort votes...

I also noticed this.

I agree that llama looks as though he's been claiming the denim shirt, but I think he's more than likely bad anyway. So best case scenario we lynch a baddie, worst case there's a no lynch.

I'm still not the denim shirt. In fact, I'd argue that the denim shirt is likely to be among LC and INH who claimed lynch immunity today. It feeeeeeeeels right.

cfd on Scotty for posting a dog meme

Mongoose wrote:hi team, I'm at a Village Inn charging my phone so I can have an alarm wake me up for tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. I'm in a bad mood because I just bought like 500 worth of food yesterday that I turned into freezer meals that I spent all day preparing, so at this point I'm going to lose it all. That's like 2 months of food if not more omg.

Anyway! Sorry to whine. Im cranky basically vecause im at Village Inn and cant eat pie hahhaa.

The host post was correct and I will updated the prayer list now.

Thanks, but what we really need clarified is the player list.

That Denim Suit guy is fucking weird.

"The definition of axis of evil is a term that former United States President George W. Bush used to describe countries which he thought were involved with terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. An example of countries identifed by Bush as the axis of evil were Iran, Iraq and North Korea."

In this game it's you, inh and LC that llama believes are involved in poor denim fashion choices and murder.

So, suspects?

I don't know what axis of evil means.

What were your thoughts about llama under the assumption that Wilgy was the blocker, Epi?

If Wilgy is the blocker, that'd mean he still voted to protect the doctor over the overalls or a vanilla. I don't really see how it changes things too much.

Long Con wrote:Quin, what do you think of me?
I think you could have been buddying me earlier on. If llama is correct about his theory that one of you, me, or INH are bad, I'd probably say it was you. Outside of that, I think you're civ, but just not as likely to be as INH.

On the matter of llama, Epi pointed out something along the lines of him being civ based on Wilgy's decision to defend DDL instead of him. If llama was the role blocker, then Wilgy chose to protect the scum doctor over the role blocker or overalls. Before I would have leaned turned my read around on llama based on the direction Wilgy went there, but now knowing the doctors full power, I'd say it makes sense to protect DDL over the role blocker or overalls if they were both bad.

And as Scotty said, if he's hinting at being the Denim Shirt, he'd survive today.
Wilgy was the blocker, as LC pointed out. I had the roles confused.

No he wasn't. He was the Skort.

Jhorts is the blocker.

thellama73 wrote:In my opinion, there's a lot of civ on civ squabbling going on up in here, and a lot of baddie coasting and laughing. Also, a lot of Llama going to bed.
As I said when he first said this: That opinion makes me feel suspicious, because I do not understand how a Civ could formulate it. In the parlance of our times: how the f*ck would you think that?

IF it's true that the main arguments are Civ on Civ, then there are four players who know that for sure, and correctly identifying such a thing could be a way to get that baddie some buddying-style Civ cred. As in, each Civ in this big Civ on Civ conflict can think "I'm a Civ, so Llama is at least reading me right and trying to steer this game in the right direction!"

thellama73 wrote:I also agree with the players saying that DDL sounds civ. He sounds civ to me too, particularly his post about game mechanics.
Straight-up defense of a baddie. Note that Llama doesn't just say "I think he's civ and here's why", he's puts it out there as an agreement with other opinions. It's not coming from Llama, it's coming from "the players" he's agreeing with.
Seems to me you're trying to argue two incompatible things at the same time. If llama's game plan was to get on the civilian squabblers' good side, his post stating his agreement with other people regarding DDL would be antithetical to that strategy, wouldn't it?

Nevertheless, I believe llama should be more specific about his view at the time that DDL sounded good. Which of his six living posts gave you that impression, llama?

Can you explain this? I don't see why this is incompatible.

Long Con wrote: I know that NOW!

Which is it? Do you know it NOW, or do you wish you had remembered it?

This is just arguing semantics.

Long Con wrote:Does a baddie list all Civs as his suspects, or does he mix in a teammate for good measure? We know JJJ wasn't. And he tries to link Llama and JJJ as teammates as well, which allows Llama to be sort of "off the hook" when JJJ turns up Civ.
Well, we don't know that, really. It's heavily inferred though.

Right Quin?

uhhh... i think so.

It's just a narrative choice since I didn't want to write "You have 48 hours to find the Florida Panther."

Shame. That would have been a wild ride.

also who the fuck

I just realised a thing. Not a thing I care to tell anybody about, but a thing none-the-less.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Do Boomslang's voting record or his survival mean anything to you or no?
His survival doesn't.

Just a thought on this. To suspect Boomslang is bad is to believe in the Roleblock Setup or some similar sinister scheme. A scheme in which part of the plan is to fake a kill on Boomslang on Night 1 for cred. There's no POV where you can suspect Boomslang and not believe in the scheme.

My point being, a) JJJ, of course Boomslang's survival means something to Quin, it's a huge central premise required to accuse Boomslang. It's almost silly to ask. b) Quin, when you say Boomslang's survival doesn't mean anything to you, it feels like you're saying something that's not real, which just makes me consider that you might not be entirely honest with your suspicions, which would of course indicate that you're bad.

There's a world where his survival makes him a civilian, and a world where his survival means he isn't. Both are possible, both are logical. I won't throw unearned trust at Boomslang because the rest of you insist on calling the alternative a tinfoil. My read is based on his contributions, and his contributions suck.

aren't*

Both Jean Harlow and the Denim Suit don't seem to have used their roles. They are the most productive civ roles, so what's the likelihood that they're just abstaining from using them?

linki: I thought the Jean Genie could be Jeggings. There's no visible secret associated with them but the description of 'Sassiness' is at least compatible with how he's carried himself.

I'd rather Eloh than INH.

Epignosis wrote:In that vein though, Boomslang voted you, Quin. If he were bad and thought you had information on him, he wouldn't want you lynched.

Unless he thinks I'm denim mini, there aren't any roles that would lend to that theory.
