Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Mafia {POSTMORTEM}

[lapluie]

The Woods seems like a safe place to be. I'll go there.

I got the smores

[lapluie]

Visiting creepy old houses on your own is an odd survival strategy but you do you.

Creepy old houses are safe places when they're empty.

Unless the dead spirits are trying to scare the crap outta you

[Marmot]

It will be easier to eliminate DharmaHelper if I'm in the same location as he.

[Marmot]

lap, I'll join you in the woods for reasons.

[novaselinenever]

Just caught up and I have no idea what's going on. I was on here for a brief moment D0 and voted Dharmahelper. I didn't like one of his posts. Sketchy vibes.

Nobody truly has any idea and INH has made a point of encouraging us to try to figure it out. I've made my best guess so far and I am going to play as though it is correct until I have reason to believe I am wrong.

So I am guessing that given we aren't lynching and the game ends at the end of day 7 that the aim is to survive to the end of the game moreso than to actually "get" the bad guys (for vanilla townies at least). This poll might more of a "don't go where the people you suspect are because they will kill you overnight if you are in the same location as them", dealio.

If I am correct in my absolute guess here, then the mechanism might be;

Each night area has a BTSC. Anyone who goes there can talk.
Mafia can only kill someone who is where they are.
If they kill someone who is where they are, then anyone else there is notified of it (but can't infodump).

This actually makes a lot of sense. I have a feeling though with a potential mechanic like this, there wouldn't a Mafia faction but Independant Killers (2?, 3?). Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get rid of us with 1 conditional faction kill per night with only 7 nights.

[mention]MacDougall[/mention] It's weird though that the votes are made public.

I agree.

[MacDougall]

@MacDougall It's weird though that the votes are made public.

Why?

[Long Con]

Sorry guys, JJJ beat me to it. If he moves, I'll join you. If he doesn't, then I'll make sure he's dead by the end of Day 2.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

k

[Long Con]

Cool, then my very real death threat is rescinded. Thanks dude.

I have no idea why they want me to be there. Probably they think I know something and they want BTSC with me. LOL they'll be disappointed.

[insertnamehere]

@insertnamehere will the results of the last Twin Peaks game have any bearing on this game? I know you're sort of looking at this as a trilogy, so is the old game worth looking at?

Putting myself back in the timeline of FWWM after the first game, I would think the goal here is to save Laura. Since we don't know the roles, I don't know if it's something much simpler like just somehow getting rid of Jacques or Leo or whatever. I'm approaching this as a puzzle, though, and I'm not sure this game is as much about finding "baddies" as fulfilling very specific conditions (what with no lynches and whatever).

I view this game as kind of a redux of the one from years ago, which I feel I kind of bungled. It also functions as a prequel to the eventual Season 3 game.

One of the rules:

"There are a limited number of nightkills."

[speedchuck]

I'm cool with having a diner dinner with DH.

[ColinIsCool]

Colin why did you choose the location you chose?

Enrique why did you ask Long Con and then Jay to go where you were going?

Honestly, I just picked it at random but I kinda feel like I should hop somewhere else, being alone in Twin Peaks is historically a bad idea.

This feels plausible, but wouldn’t finding the scum become super easy? If we have 3 people in a location and 1 dies, then we only need to test out one of them the next night and we’ll have figured a scum out either way.

What am I chopped liver?

[DharmaHelper]

You are forgiven.

[speedchuck]

I just didn't want to speak for you. :P You might not want Colin at the Diner.

[DharmaHelper]

Mac and Enrique and me in the same game

Thank you for this gift INH. Thank you my friend.

[DharmaHelper]

I just didn't want to speak for you. :P You might not want Colin at the Diner.

[Marmot]

I would lunch DharmaHelper if you know what I mean.

'Cause, you know, he's at a diner.

[nutella]

Idk why Enri wanted LC, I was just going along with it. LC's a cool dude and Enri's my bestie and if he wants a cool kids club then so do I.

[novaselinenever]

@MacDougall It's weird though that the votes are made public.

Why?

Oh, I forgot about there not being lynches. I thought the vote being public, we would be able to identify where the kill happened and the potential killers.

However, we'd know who to run from and not go in the same location with.

[DharmaHelper]

A bit like Avalon or Coup.

psst if you're looking for help or a co-host in the S3 game I'd be thrilled to offer some

[Marmot]

My browser tells me this page is in Vietnamese.

[Enrique]

I think it'd be a good idea to have 3 people in The Power and the Glory, personally.

[Enrique]

Cool, then my very real death threat is rescinded. Thanks dude.

I don't necessarily want to learn something from you, but I'd be thrilled to learn something with you.

[Marmot]

Will you go there?

[Enrique]

Unfortunately I've made plans to go to the Roadhouse tonight! Maybe tomorrow.

[Marmot]

I finally listened to of Montreal last week. They are amazing!! I thought of you since you hosted that one game.

I can't believe it took so long to check them out too. I've been listening to and loving Kishi Bashi for a couple years now.

^_^ Did you listen to False Priest or Paralytic Stalks? FP is when K first got involved with the band and by PS he's a full-blown member.
That period from 2007 to 2012 or so is one of my favorite runs of any band ever. Their new album actually comes out this Friday, the last few ones haven't been great but here's for a return to form.

[insertnamehere]

If anyone could contact Reywas and tell him that the game has started, that’d be very appreciated.

[S~V~S]

K, I Facebooked him

[reywaS]

im here

[Lunalee]

Planning to hang out at the Palmer House tonight. Hoping to learn something useful and not get murdered.

[speedchuck]

I trust DH not to kill me to death. He seems like more the type to hurt those who hurt him, and I have no intention of doing so. If I'm wrong, and DH is a crazy killer, I invited a sacrificial lamb to our dinner.

Good times. I'm going for the glory hole because...i.feel.so.alone.

DAY 1

EXCERPT FROM LAURA PALMER'S DIARY, AGE 12:

Spoiler: show

July 22, 1984

Dear Diary,

My name is Laura Palmer, and as of just three short minutes ago, I officially turned twelve years old! It is July 22, 1984, and I have had such a good day! You were the last gift I opened and I could hardly wait to come upstairs and start to tell you all about myself and my family. You shall be the one I confide in the most. I promise to tell you everything that happens, everything I feel, everything I desire. And, every single thing I think. There are some things I can't tell anyone. I promise to tell these things to you.
Anyway, when I came down for breakfast this morning, I saw that Mom had hung streamers all through the house, and even Dad put on a party hat and tooted away on a kazoo for a while. I didn't think Donna and I would ever stop laughing!
Oh, Donna is my very best friend in the whole world. Her last name is Hayward, and her father, Dr. Hayward, delivered me twelve years ago today! I can't believe I finally made it. Mom cried at the table because she said before I know it I'll be a grown-up woman. Yeah, sure. It's going to take years for me to even get my period, I just know it. She's crazy if she thinks I'll be a grown-up in no time, especially if she keeps giving me stuffed animals for my birthday!
Today was just the way I wanted it to be, with only Donna and Mom and Dad there. And Jupiter, my cat, of course. For breakfast we had apple pancakes, which are my favorite, with lots of maple syrup and sourdough toast.
Donna gave me the blouse I saw in the window at Horne's Department Store, and I know she bought it with her allowances because she was saving all of them for a long time and wouldn't tell me why. It's the most beautiful blouse you've ever seen! It is white and silky and has tiny embroidered roses all over it, but not so many that it looks bad. It's just perfect. On Donna's birthday, I'm going to get her something extra special too.
My cousin Madeline, Maddy for short, is visiting tomorrow for a whole week. She and Donna and I are going to build a fort in the woods and camp out if Mom will let us. I know Dad will. He likes the woods as much as I do. One night I had a dream that Dad moved us to a house deep in the woods and my bedroom had a big tree outside the window with two songbirds nesting there. I'll be back in a minute, Diary, Dad is calling to me from downstairs. He says he has a surprise! I'll tell you everything when I get back!

Love, Laura

July 22, 1984, later

Dear Diary,

You will never ever believe what just happened! I went downstairs and Dad told Mom and I to get in the car and not to ask any questions until we got to where we were going. Of course, Mom asked questions the whole way. I didn't mind because I thought maybe something would slip out of Dad's mouth, but it didn't. I just kept quiet so that I wouldn't lose my surprise. When we pulled up to The Broken Circle Stables, I knew! Daddy bought me a pony! Diary, he is so beautiful, much more beautiful than I could ever have dreamed. His colors are cinnamon red and deep brown, and his eyes are big and sweet. Mom couldn't believe it when she saw it and she started asking Dad how he managed to do it without anyone knowing. Dad said it would ruin the surprise if she knew, and he's right.
Mom nearly had a heart attack when she saw me underneath the pony's legs to find out if it was a boy or a girl. I barely had to look to find out that it was a boy. Like I've never seen one of those before. Mom doesn't know her little girl the way she thinks she does, hmmm?
Back to my pony. I decided his name should be Troy, like the pony in Mrs. Larkin's photo book. Zippy, who works at the stables, said he would make a nameplate for me that says TROY in big letters, and he'll hang it right in front so that everyone will know his name when they see him. Troy is still too young to ride, but in two months I'll be able to get on and just race through the fields! Today I walked him and fed him carrots (Dad brought them with us in the trunk) and a cube of sugar that Zippy gave me. Troy loved ail of it. Before I left him, I whispered in his warm, soft ear that I would see him tomorrow and that I would write all about him, here, in my diary. I can't wait to show him to Donna! I almost forgot, Maddy will see him too!
On the way home from the stables Dad said that Troy and I have the same birthday, because when a pony is given as a gift to someone who will love him, they share everything. So happy birthday to Troy too!
I'm glad I don't know where he came from, because this way, it is almost as if Heaven sent him down just for me.
Anyway, Diary, tomorrow is a big day and tonight I will sleep very well, dreaming of Troy and all of the time we shall spend together. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Love, Laura

P.S. I hope ███ doesn't come tonight.
