What has happened???

In England and RvB I had verifiable roles (innocent child and color seer) but got blocked or restricted the following cycle and it couldn’t be verified. Then I got voted out in England and everyone was like “oh. Oops.”
 
:scared:
Meats do us uninitiated naifs want to know what the meat locker is
Don't worry, I cleaned the blood off the floor recently so it's less slippery now!

Honestly we should do such things more often. The Meat Locker was a great time.

That was the game where a certain cheezy dick broke MadZoo up by killing MJ n1, MJ was then rezzed, and then that dingus broke us up again by killing me...on my birthday :rage:
It's actually really funny to me how fond people are of my "scheduled ****posting" mechanic
Lol it is a distinct possibility one should NOT put past this mod team
I have been warming up my wood chipper so I could probably decoratively spray a couple people around the joint in the event of a tie
 
The phrase villager code has been uttered, causing a mod brain meltdown. Reboot will take approximately long enough for everyone to get twitchy about the lack of writeup, plus 5 more minutes. What a shame.
The theme appropriate phrase for this is "That's it everybody, wheels DOWN"

At least until everybody gets their ish together
 
Just kidding, my brain was already melting down, I was just making a point.

Placeholder writeup incoming because it turns out I'm out of spoons
Same. On top of killer work weekend for some reason everyone keeps talking to me about my ****ed up back at work and I'm a little over the repetitive conversation of "yeah, haha, those are all things I'm going to be afraid of doing always for the rest of my life! No, this surgery doesn't prevent anything from happening again! My back is horrible and this will probably happen again and I will just have to be on the edge of my seat for the rest of my life waiting for the other shoe to drop forever!"

Also any time my legs hurt I have a prolonged panic attack that everything is happening again... except since I'm currently under bending restrictions I squat a lot now so duh my legs hurt sometimes
Just double or quadruple or something the dose and youre good to go!
uh.... no. hellcat gets 300mg. my brother takes way less than that for his neuropathic pain.
I'm on like 600 mg TID. It infuriates me that gaba hits me harder than it hits either of my pets lol

My own cat burns through gaba like butter in a hot pan so he gets trazodone instead
 
He objectively did, as I quoted.

and?
He objectively didn’t move onto Alley to get her yeeted though which is what I thought you were trying to say.
She had one vote at that time.
The leading wagon was 3.

Day Two

The 911 dispatcher blinked, unsure that she had heard the caller correctly. "Sir, I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"
The man on the other end choked out the words again, "They're in...my house...so many...of them..."
"Sir, who is in your house?"
"Raccoons!"

The man was still alive when the patrol car arrived, though he was covered in bite wounds. The animals that had attacked him were nowhere to be found. He was rushed to the hospital, where his wounds were bandaged, but he refused prophylactic treatment for rabies. Something about putting mystery chemicals in his body...

A few weeks later, the same dispatcher received another strange call to the same neighborhood.
"Please send someone, my neighbor is just wandering around his backyard, yelling at nothing. And I think he hissed when his sprinklers came on? It's very strange, and it's scaring my kids."

Days later, when the man's cause of death was reported as encephalitis due to raccoon variant rabies, the BAU caught wind of the story. There had been a string of similar cases not that long ago, same story, only noticeable because rabies deaths were so rare in the US these days.

"You know," said one agent to the others as they debriefed, trying to determine if these raccoon exposures had been intentional, "Rabies isn't the only pathogen that raccoons can transmit to humans. Baylisascaris, the raccoon roundworm, can be passed through the ingestion of infected soil or feces. There have only been 30 cases since 1980, but it almost invariably causes severe neurological damage. It's possible these victims were suffering from both the virus and the parasite."

"Regardless of which pathogen won out in these cases, it does appear that someone intentionally set these raccoons loose in the victims' homes. What a strange and elaborate way to go about killing someone."

"You're right. This killer clearly has ample time and means to carry out their crimes. Think of it. Capturing, or breeding, raccoons. Infecting them with rabies. Transporting them to the victims' homes, breaking in, and removing the raccoons before the police arrive? This guy has a lot of time on his hands, and experience with handling wildlife."

"We have our profile. Wheels up in 15 minutes."

~~~

The press liaison again stood before the crowd of reporters, this time on a sunny day. She could see beads of sweat gathering on their brows as they pressed forward with fervent energy, each one wanting to be the first to ask their burning questions. A single word came to mind to describe them.

Rabid.

Awaiting trial is @mkg323 who was "has ample time and means to carry out their crimes", a village blocker.
Bummer.

Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.

Day 2 writeup has been updated
 
Night Two

The agent paced the conference room, his usual scowl in place. "As you know, we had been closing in on a suspect for a cold case from a few years back, a smattering of poisoning deaths. But the suspect turned up dead this morning."

"Yes, as a quick reminder, this was the one who had been putting ethylene glycol in the victims' coffee," said another agent, this one more chipper, even as she talked about murder. "They likely never noticed - would have just thought the coffee was a little too sweet."

"And don't forget we narrowed down the suspect list by the profile - likely female, and someone who would try to insert themselves into the investigation."

"And now she's dead...What are we thinking? Revenge from a victim's family member? Suicide?"

"We're not sure, but suicide doesn't fit the profile, especially not by gunshot."

"Interesting. We will have to look into this further. Even if she was a serial killer, she deserved a proper trial."

Dead is @vetschoolsletmeinplease, who was "will likely try to insert themselves into the investigation", a vanilla villager

What is food to one, is to others bitter poison.

~~~
"I know we are all shocked by the suspect we've arrested in this case, but I do want to debrief on the profile so we can be sure we didn't miss anything. The case is going to be handled by another team, and we need it to be airtight before we hand it over."

"The MO was certainly...unique," one agent said, contemplating the view out of the conference room window. "Death by suffocation. The victim's lungs were full of cat fur."

"I could see him going for the irony here. Some people believe that a cat resting on your chest provides excellent health benefits. The frequency of their purrs is meant to have healing effects. Of course, others believe they'll try to steal your breath. But really, murder by cat isn't how anyone expects to go."

"Well, you should never trust a cat," said another agent, shuddering. The others looked at him before quickly averting their eyes.

Just then the phone rang. The press liaison answered with a sigh. The calls had been nonstop.
“Look, we heard there was an arrest of a former BAU agent. Can I have you on record that he went rogue? Something better than the “no comment” crap? Did he kill the—”
“No comment. *click*”

Awaiting trial is @genny, who was Jason Gideon, a 3p
serial killer
😱

Better to be violent if there’s violence in our hearts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.

i was trying to figure out why I got an angry react because you’d posted the write up
I didn’t even notice there was more to go. Whoops.
 
yes but i think someone had already been making inigo montoya comments before me? he's the only one with any princess bride connection
Ooooog cause he’s Inigo Montoya
But he doesn’t play with the powder

So genny tried to kill me night 1? Rood.

Edit: I also posted the inconceivable gif. So that was me. Had no idea there was an actor in both because I just now googled it.

yeah it's a loose connection, but if the idea was just to give some kind of hint to the identity of a serial killer I can see why it was chosen
 
Bouncing around?
I was in a 4 way tie, self prezed and landed back on my vote. Thus far I have voted 2 people this cycle.
I meant more bouncing around with your content. I will iso later and decide how correct I was. Someone commented that was your normal routine, so maybe it is a good thing for you.

I am on an actual computer for the first time this game!
 
Day 3: Anyone who believes what a cat tells him deserves what he gets

None of you are feeling very murderous. Slow day? Can't move because a kitty is sleeping on your lap?

???/9

Has yet to vote: ALL OF YOU
Police hot on their tail: 🤔

Vote closes at 10pm EST, TOMORROW, 11/16 (a long time but pls entertain my need for blood)

Tin-foil:
Killing zenge when he was voting for me, and now flipping VSLMIP who I’d been tunneling for two days….the wolves are out to paint me as sketchy…
 
Vote TME

Want to see how this feels. Going to re-iso TME and Visc later.

It’s Day 3 I could vote AM out of sheer paranoia too lol.
 
Well. One 3P who was serial killer. I don't see any skills listed (or is serial killer a skill?). Should we expect a skill to be listed? Or the win con? Or can it be left off to further throw us off preconceived notions?

Does having a 3p like this change the wolfpack size? Does having only solo wolves (if true) change the number of wolves we could expect?

Thoughts on the two kills?
 
I’ve yeeted you for a similar story and was wrong.
Interesting.
So are you worried that it is happening again? Or are you worried that he is recycling that story from prior experience? (what are the odds of it happening again versus the other scenario happening?)
 
I am starting to think my tinfoil about entirely independent killers is very possible.
I thought I had posted the idea of multiple separate killers but maybe you did and it was in my head. This could also be a setup to throw us off habit of considering compatibility. I don't think it hurts us to consider compatibility, but I would not rule out someone as being a wolf bc they are not compatible with anyone until we know more.

Who said something about main characters being bad guys? Bc this proved out with genny
I said both of these things in my original tinfoils at the very start of the game. I think you repeated the independent killers ideas later too. If nothing else, I'm good at reading the mods minds?

plausible but...
Vote TME

...this isn't making me feel better about you😛
 
@BobLoblaw78 What are you thinking today?
I started the day looking at TME but have been less certain with more recent posts. Mel voting there doesn't comfort me.

Cray- most village. Good posts since no show. Likely not absent if playing wolf (correct me if she does that as wolf)
Visc-
Stagg- I need to look closer at the claim but it felt like a sincere reveal and true. I will keep healthy level of paranoia until proof
Samac/AM
Mel- need to check some ideas on him
TME/Cubs-moving in opposite directions. Cubs down and TME up. I need to check out some ideas on others after read through, reply, then I will try to commit

Why is Vis empty?
 
Why is Vis empty?
I didn't have specific examples. If I put "feels like good hunting, good posts, good logic" (which is true) then I get flamed for vague statements. She has been village to me most of the game. She has the village from start feel that makes me feel confident (but still keep an eye to make sure the person isn't going for deep wolf)

Serial killer is an alignment with an inherent ability (killing). We don’t know the specifics of genny’s wincon or restrictions on her killing. No one to my knowledge claimed being attacked N1.

For balancing I believe you generally balance village and wolf numbers as usual (with 3p obviously not counting in either number), but would probably be less likely to give wolves extra killing ability.

samac claimed to smell iocaine powder, which may or may not have been associated with genny

Missed this post, but serial killer is the whole enchilada. It's a 3p who can only win by being the last player alive.

I got a result that I was investigating and that I didn’t notice the killer near me and that building alarms went off so he retreated. I could then smell iocaine powder.
I wonder if mkg blocked a wolf or genny and the alarm was the block. She wouldn’t have realized it was important because there was still a kill.
Anyway, guess it doesn’t matter much.
 
i would guess he seer'd you because you got the powder thing? Maybe he's gideon?
i can't* remember if hes said anything for/against you today

*fixed spelling mistake
I had quoted this bc it didn't seem correct, but stagg went ahead and confirmed it.
No one, I didn't submit an action because I was showering off vomit.
Been there, done that....but that is a long shower
to be honest i do not remember what it is, its been so long since ive watched the show lol
it's a moot point, he said he didn't seer anyone
Deadly, odorless powder from Australia
I honestly like the tinfoil of the main characters being the bad guys at this point.
Who started this tinfoil? I can't find it and want to finish my thought on it.

this one's on the stagg voters. and maybe cray. If he's truly village/seer they get big frowny faces from me
Weird to blame stagg voters when the vote didn’t go through on stagg and MKG was on the board anyway. This very well could’ve happened without the stagg wagon. And this statement sounds as if you already know that MKG is village before the reveal...
And now I feel like an idiot for realizing I never self-prezzed :bag:
Not seering and not selfprezzing. So many thoughts. Are you really seer? Are you a seer and just disinterested villager (with vomit on them)? (I can't see wolf not selfprezzing) Finally, as a wolf where were your options for selfprezzing that you wouldn't have went on the counterwagon? More of a question to myself- I need to look once I finish this
It makes sense. I expected someone to move with that reveal, but I’m also unsure.

@mkg323 if you’re around and village and have anything helpful now is the time.
I unfortunately found out about the reveal too late, but would have jumped off had I seen it in time.

FYI- I was trying to post on phone and keep formatting correct (if you delete one space too much it removes the person that the quote is from). And it kept giving me the posts out of order (the most recent one or two, but not the 10 in between)
I'd be surprised if it's just entirely reversed though. There's enough flips and hints on thread that I'm guessing many of us have picked up a pattern and if we ALL fit that pattern, it's just normal villager code but backwards. there is a pattern though.

cover roles. i think it would be game breaking to have village fit a pattern and wolves have named roles with no clue about how to role reveal convincingly.
This comment reads much differently after seeing how genny flipped. She seemed to be comfortable position. This sounds like her laying ground work for not role revealing when descriptions have been very different for villagers this game
There’s a difference between hypocritical reads and possible slip ups, though. I don’t have a problem with any and all hypocritical reads because you can realize that something you’re doing is something wolves are more likely to do (e.g. ghosting and giving little to no reasoning), but have your own reasons for doing it (e.g. cleaning up toddler vomit), and obviously know that you’re a villager so not be suspicious of yourself but be suspicious of others who are doing it
I like this from visc and she has had many like this. If you want specifics for visc, this is one. It is very village perspective. Village wouldn’t mind being hypocritical but wolves would try to avoid it (you would at least think they would)
Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.
Good writeup, esp with the personal touches! I can appreciate them more now that I am not scouring them for clues!

The person that said this has never seen my cat with its prey! (or gennys with a giraffe)
Wat? I don’t even bother starting doses lower than 300mg BID unless someone is frail or super somatic. Heck, I’ve got plenty of people on 800mg TID.
100-1,200 TID. I am shocked to hear how high the cat dose is! I only start that low bc patients hate the fog that comes with it and quit it.
In England and RvB I had verifiable roles (innocent child and color seer) but got blocked or restricted the following cycle and it couldn’t be verified. Then I got voted out in England and everyone was like “oh. Oops.”
Wouldn’t that make people more likely to believe your claim this time around? Do you fake claim often?
Ooooog cause he’s Inigo Montoya
But he doesn’t play with the powder

So genny tried to kill me night 1? Rood.

Edit: I also posted the inconceivable gif. So that was me. Had no idea there was an actor in both because I just now googled it.
Can I ask why she didn't kill you? Or if you don't want to answer, at least be working through that on your own if it helps with wolf reads, their skills, etc

Ah, I was reading it as serial killer descriptor. So she either had restrictions or was blocked D1.

that was before I had seen that AM moved votes and thought we were losing a claimed seer.
