You've been saying that for three days now.

Yep. It still applies.

I'm not saying I'm going to do the iso today either (because I'm not). I need to find time for it, and time has been unfortunately tricky for me. That's why you've never gone either down or up - you're just sticking in the same spot which in my rainbow would be right in the middle.

JJJ - Town
Quin - Town
LongCon - Scum
Golden - Light scum
Scotty - Light town
MovingPicures07 - Town
juliets - Light town
Dyslexicon - Back to neutral
Fredwood - Wanna say light scum because of lack of commitment, but he says it's just his playstyle to only vote once or twice per game. I'll just read this as "More useful as scum than town, perhaps 3p?"
Strawhenge - Light town (JJJ can we get a link to that LC case?)

Mostly that it's annoying?

I mean, it's a valid line of reasoning if he wants to actually evaluate it, but as it is, it just feels like pointless doubtcasting. I explained very early on why I posted what I posted. If that explanation isn't good enough, fine. Do something else about it.

Speedchuck was your previous read of Dyslexicon slight town? If so, could you talk about why you moved him to neutral?

I can understand that perspective.

But I'm not going to leave you out of my reads or give no explanation on why you're there just because it hasn't changed. In that sense, there is entirely a point - it's making sure people know that I am still where I was on you, that nothing has shifted.

It is annoying though, I'll give you that.

I don't want to reevaluate *that* point. I want to evaluate if it's an isolated situation. What it told me was that you are sly and it takes a good hard look to get past your friendly tone and find whatever pointers there could be in your game.

Day 1

Long Con ignored it until I prodded him a second time on Day 4. The two of them had an exchange from there.

More Strawhenge

More Long Con

More Strawhenge

I don't really think Dizzy looks like a good candidate to be an independent at face value, particularly not one who would be LMS or otherwise anti-town. They've played the whole game more care-free than anyone, but not without still providing a great deal of useful reads content. I see someone who is motivated to solve the game by necessity, not for appearances. They've not been afraid to poke other players regardless of who; they've rocked the boat.

What do others see in Dizzy that they fear might be indy-applicable?

I had actually changed my mind since I made my list early this morning, I just haven't updated my reads in the thread. I now see Dyslexicon as straight town without the indy possibility.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 4:50 pm**

Day 3 and Night 3 have been updated with their flavour texts. Sorry on the wait. I'm gonna take a short break, and then get back to working on Night 4.

Oh and Day ends in 8 hours

The theory being that someone who needs to survive until the end wouldn't try to solve the game, or?

I also don't think Dizzy is the best candidate for the indy, but I don't quite understand why you think it's unlikely.

They'd try. Usually though they still don't look like civilians in the effort, even when they try. I don't think it's impossible Dizzy is an indy, but he's not one of my top candidates. I am pretty well sold by the content I can see.

Agreed. Scum can presumably overrun even with an indy around.

Day 5 EVENT - Trial By Death

The sun was in the distance. Max Bardindes checks his watch. His targets were eliminated, but there was the trouble of the witnesses. Eugene Gamma knew not of who he was among the passengers, nor what was about to occur. Max Bardindes resumes standing among the passengers, engaging and blending in. They would never see this coming…

-----------------------------------------

A wall mounted analog clock ticked away as the evening progressed. Golden had taken Quin to the back railcar to discuss ‘something important.’ And by that Golden meant that he was suspicious of Quin’s loyalty to the Passengers. That was all an act however, as Golden pulled out a revolver from his jacket pocket. Quin, realizing the situation backs up to the door at the rear of the car. “Any last words?” Golden says in a smooth, dark voice.

“Actually, I have a few, “ says a figure behind them.

Golden whips around, aiming the gun at the voice. Max Bardindes stood in his entirety at the front door of the car, the one leading back to the rest of the train. “Now tell me… Ms. Gilligan. Did you really think this whole operation would be that easy? That I would simply allow you and your team of bygone scientists follow out, a quite noticeably, difficult and personal mission? That doesnt matter now, seeing as the shenanigans never seem to stop on this hell train.”

Golden cocks the hammer on the revolver. “And who might you be?” they ask.

“No one important, but I do ask one thing…. Send Dr. Cash my regards.”

Bardindes quickly exits through the door before Golden can register what he had said. Quin is cowering in the corner, unsure of the whole exchange. Golden continues watching the mystery man, unknown to them, and Max Bardindes returns the gaze through the door of the adjoining car. Bardindes presses the button on his watch, before turning and walking away at last.

Golden turns to finish off Quin, confused themself on who that was. A beeping noice caught his attention though before he could pull the trigger. “.....Son of a bi-”

-------------------------------------

The clock struck six o’clock. A loud explosion rocked all the cars and startled everyone aboard. Eugene Gamma bursts into Car No. 3. “WHAT…” he regains his composure, “What in the everloving hell, was that!?” Everyone began piling to the back of the train to see what had happened. When they arrived at the second to last car, well, it had become the last car. There was a gaping hole in the back of the train, and the rear car was far behind them in a plume of smoke and smoking metal. The passengers realize that Golden and Quin were missing and had no way of identifying them.

“Worry not everyone. I have this under control.” Gamma says. He returns to his room to review the tapes.

--------------------------

Eugene returns later to identify Golden and Quin.

Golden was Amy Gilligan, The Spy:

Spoiler: show

And Quin was Roy Hardwell, Aging Doctor:

Spoiler: show

With two more down, it appeared the luck for the passengers was turning around. Or at least they hoped….

With 9 Alive, it takes 5 to Lynch, Day ends in 5 hours!

Thanks for the game sprit.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:09 pm**

Y'all better be ready to show up tonight. We need to hit the hammer of 5 votes. I'm not saying drop the hammer now, but if you're not going to be here at the deadline then you need to throw your votes down.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:09 pm**

Wow!

We didn't do that.

I love the demo man role so much. Still laughing.

Good game though Golden and Quin. You both played hard, and no matter how things may have looked -- you weren't lynched yet. There's no guarantee it would have happened at all. The detonator has done us a big favor.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:24 pm**

Oh wow - wth -

Whats the current vote count? Can I just vote now?

The votes were reset after the explosion, so the current tally is just one vote for LC (mine).

Ok so

That's 4 votes for Scotty, one shy of the hammer.

Before we get there, I'd like to hear who everyone believes is the demo man. It's pretty likely that player, heroic as they may be, is not our friend.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 8:59 pm**

for Long Con*

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 9:00 pm**

My guess is speedchuck.

But isn't the game over if we lynch LC?

juliets wrote:My guess is speedchuck.

That'd be nice. I don't think the demo man is a civilian though, and it's probably an LMS role. If that's true we'll need to lynch that player.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 9:10 pm**

Hey guys, I'm back.

I'm crying right now I just can't.

What.

Hammer Long Con

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2017 9:16 pm**

Gun to my head, I think the best candidate to be the demo man is Fredwood. Every single player should be assessed though, interactive reads won't be relevant to that.

For some reason I thought we weren't allowed to post after the hammer came down.

JJJ what is fueling your read that it's Fredwood? My read was total gut and based on who has been here today.

This ties in with locking the thread/not posting as soon as a hammer vote has been made. Possibly, to remedy this, we just have someone screenshot when they vote and it meets hammer? In any case I'll more than likely leave it to community etiquette to wait for a host if a hammer vote has been reached.
