(modified from A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams)

A short time ago, against all probability, a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more. Who knows how long it might have hung in the air there, simply waiting for gravity to do its worst. But someone saw fit to accelerate the whale's progression towards the ground.


This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it.

Ah … ! What’s happening? it thought.

Er, excuse me, who am I?

Hello?

Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life?

What do I mean by who am I?

Calm down, get a grip now … oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It’s a sort of … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach.

Good. Ooooh, it’s getting quite strong. And hey, what’s about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that … wind! Is that a good name? It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on. Now – have I built up any coherent picture of things yet?

No.

Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation …

Or is it the wind?

There really is a lot of that now isn’t it?

And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.

Dead is @mypetmoose , who was the Magrathean Sperm Whale, a villager...with a co-dependent buddy :thinking:

I think this was a weird night kill choice. Makes me think it was chosen by someone who didn't really know what else to do.
 
Or That's how they're trying to make it seem :thinking:

So, it's funny that you say that. Because, upon closer inspection I'm wondering if you and grebes are working together in some way, whether that be wolfy or not.

These are the posts that stuck out to me:

I actually feel like this is a really good argument against grebes though...

why is this a good argument against me?

###unlynch emlady######lynch grebes###
I have been swayed... but I'm stressed about it....

Mousse for a certain posting style (I picked it up on her first post)

Grebes was my wolf pup. I feel fairly confident she is not a wolf this time.

lynch Coffee for now. Also thinking about sticking to the grebes lynch.
 
can you clarify what you meant by this?
Look at her first post. Something like hi I'm awake.

Enthusiastic opening posts by noobs cab sometimes point to wolves (youngkal in some game I didn't play and myself in supernatural)

And following posts were a bit nonchalant.

Obviously it was wrong 🙄Then again I've never caught a wolf on D1 that I can recall

You legitimately think I would point fingers at the senior players, knowing that would include me and knowing that I was explicitly talking about mousse yesterday...conveniently she dies..

I am well aware a connection could be made. That's what framing is, and why I'm thinking someone experienced is involved 😉

you are getting awfully defensive for having a measly single vote on you
 
P.S. for everyone's knowledge, masons are players that are connected by PM and mod confirmed to each other to be village. Lovers are similar but if one dies, the following dies shortly thereafter.
So I am a bit confused. Does this mean someone in the group was connected with moose and knew moose was a villager? And this person will die soon without intervention?

These are possibilities but not necessarily true. MPM could have been a mason with someone else or a lover with someone else and either role could explain the "co-dependent buddy" referenced in the n1 writeup, but it could also mean neither. I only say this because we have been thrown some weird things this game, such as our lynchee from last night did not die, and Ski died instead because she was a sacrifice or something, "destined to take his own life rather than spend any more time in this cruel, useless world." I've never experienced the lover role myself, so I can't say for sure that Coffee is correct in that MPM's potential counterpart will soon die. She might have just thrown in the mason/lover info to throw us off track. Or not. Can't say for sure.

I don't know what to make of the transmission either.
 
Hey guys I’m working a 10h shift today and tomorrow with limited ability to keep up here. Will try my best between patients.

###contingency lynch shelter###

Mostly based on gut feels and meta stuff from previous games ive played with her. When she was village in the first game I played with her, she was super quiet and kinda absent. Last game we played together she was a wolf and came at me in a similar way and got me lynched D1. She came at me awful hard yesterday and it reminds me of wolf shelter.

I’m not dead set on this, but in light of a lack of feels about anyone else, this is what I’m going with.

That being said, M935–did you collect any proof of anything last night? I would like to see it. I think we all gave you the benefit of the doubt yesterday but you need to back it up now otherwise I’m gonna vote for you.

I take this back. Given the green color of the message, I am thinking a villager is trying to communicate something to us, or their communication to someone else was accidentally heard by us. I postulate the latter because of the "crackling."

Could the deck8 have anything to do with it? Maybe something with @Doctor-S
 
Lynch grebe. Still sketched out by her most of all from day 1.

Because you said yesterday that you suspected me mostly because I was a wolf in the only game we’ve played together... are you going to Lynch me because I was a wolf last time we played?
 
this is a weird thing for you to say considering that's why you want to lynch me
I’m lynchjng you bc certain aspects of your gameplay are more in line with how you played as a wolf. If dandy has reasons to Lynch me based on gameplay similarities, I’ll hear them. To me, she just seemed to be saying it was because I was a wolf last time.
 
The transmission almost sounds as if we have been invaded. by an alien. or a resurrection??

Man, I was clearly a terrible English major—this is the second person confused by my original post. What I meant was that I was more suspicious of you than the other two people—M359 and pickles, based on your posts in this game. I held off on lynching you immediately because I wanted to be wary of harboring a bitter taste from last game.

However, the more I re-read the thread the more I feel it’s worthwhile to throw a lynch vote in your direction.

I'm defending against a specific argument, nothing more 🙄

That is what is insinuated by her role description.

I had to include a third party so had to trust someone to not be a wolf. We’ll see if my trust pays off.
 
I find it suspicious that dirty thirty claims he has a power but has nothing to show for it, and he didn't get killed by the wolves.

Also, grebes is seeming odd to me atm.

I have to pick my lynch soon. I'll be on a flight most of the day.

The person I had to trust hasn’t been on yet. Not my fault. I actually figured I was going to get killed and planned around that. It’s kind of a bonus for me that I didn’t.
 
Hi everyone, I work until about 6ish, but I will try to check in occasionally if I can. BUT! Before I go, my name is Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?
 
@grebes4lyfe you're going to like my post but not defend yourself?

I wanna see how this plays out with dirty thirty

Lynch grebes

I liked your post bc of your point about Matt.
I defended myself a lot yesterday, so I will point you to those posts.

Your posts yesterday were either floundering because you felt outed as a wolf and wanted to survive, or you are actually a villager and just didn't know how else to convince people that you aren't wolf. I'm not sure which, but I'm more inclined to think the latter right now, because it would seem to be pretty noob of a wolf.

Putting on the tin foil hat: Or is it a wolf pack and this person is going to "vouch" for you and you'll kill us all.

Ot- Buddy and smiling are my favorite

Grebes wasn't my third party. I'm on the fence, but I'm not voting for Grebes because I'm trusting someone else for now.
