Well done guys...really well done. 🙄

Probably best because I have too much going on in life right now to keep up anyway...

Anyone else here think that using a bomb is dangerous?

Wouldn't y'all agree to suggest that Swings use it on herself before trying it on someone else?

It never said I could use it. It just said I've received a bomb & it's old fashioned and ticking. Maybe it will kill me & I can't stop it 🙁
 
Does this deadline make anyone else 🙁?

I pulled it out of my ass. I didn't want one too quickly so people couldn't get PMs in, but I didn't want to push all the way to tomorrow.

Would 7pm eastern work better for people? Midnight UK?

I really don't care. But I'd like to firm it up so people can know definitively when it is.
 
This is like that movie from a ways back with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matheau....oh yeah....Grumpy Old Men!

Hey WS :hello: any thoughts from your not-so-afterlife?? Apologies to Philiab.

Feeling so fuzzy after my naptaking. I always think them a good idea and then :smack: No items here so I'll just be studying like a good student until night cycle ends :d

Love devyn's avatar 😍
 
It's Saturday. I bet the west coasters are still asleep.

👍

Then I shall smite the west coast. If I don't get to sleep, nobody does. 🙂

It sounds like you're playing a game of hot potato! Dunno if it'll get passed on automatically or if you have to pass it on, but it probably has a set time when it'll blow up. Just my guess, anyway.
 
And I'm sure it won't be pleasant for who(m?)ever it blows up on.
 
Welcome back, WS! Anything you can tell us about the circumstances of your revival?
 
:th

Yeah I was thinking that's probably what it was. So a heads up if anyone gets it. I'll let y'all know if I still have it this cycle or not.
 
Hello, Gotham City! I am very sorry to hear about the deaths that have happened in our city, but am glad that wolfspeaker has returned to us! Unfortunately, I do not have any new info or other news to share at this point 🙁 Thanks to those who have kept me company via PM, sorry I can't respond 🙁 I was told by someone that I was cleared last night by the GCPD badge (an investigative item, I assume) and if that person would like to come on and verify that they cleared me they certainly can, and then hopefully you all can information with me more confidently. That's all for today, until tomorrow!

That's interesting, because I had the GCPD badge N1 and didn't use it on you. So either there are multiple badges, there's one tied to a role, or whoever told you lied (or is unknowingly passed bad info). I'm inclined to think that you were lied to/got bad info.

I'm inclined to believe that there are multiple badges rather than wolves behind this. Why would a wolf want to clear someone? Their goal is to get villagers lynched, not help them prove their innocence. In any case, if you don't have the badge anymore, do you mind saying who you investigated?

Wolves can "clear" other wolves or "clear" people that make good conversion targets later...so there can be motives behind it. I dunno what the motive would be in this case, though, and it's pretty early for dead people to be running around causing chaos.

I don't think we've had a game with multiple items of the same name yet (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). And it doesn't make much sense to me... which is why I don't think it's as likely. But I guess I wouldn't put it past the mods :shrug:

In any event, clearing people, or saying they had such-and-so-item and cleared someone, when they know no one can call them out, is a way for wolves to gain trust. I'll share who I used the badge on if they come up for lynch.

Good points definitely. Well, if the "investigator" comes forward maybe we can figure it out. But if they really do have the badge, then they probably shouldn't come forward until they lose it - that way they're not wolf bait for the time being.
 
Okay, I'm finally caught up and in. Sorry about the avatar, but I wasted about two hours trying to find a way to get a ggod one using my iPad, and I'm failing, and I can't be bothered to fire up my lappy.

I don't have any information. I have one suspicion, but I'm sitting on it in the short term, because I don't have a good baseline reading of suspiciocity just yet on account of being a non native in a strange forum.

Good game so far, mods—you're giving us some confusing obstacles to deal with.

Can the vote rigging be a mob function? Is there a crime syndacate working to fix things here?
 
MOD UPDATE:

Since there wasn't much response to my offer to move the deadline earlier, I think in the interests of fairness (i.e. sticking with what I originally said) we'll leave the deadline at 10pm eastern for now.

There are still some PMs outstanding.

My apologies to the UKers for picking an inconvenient time. We will take it more into consideration going forward. On the flip side, at least it isn't a lynch deadline, which really would suck.

Oh, I didn't realize it was an offer. I thought you were moving the deadline. Boo late PMers!

Apologies if it was unclear. I meant to convey that I was asking if people were willing to move it. Since I initially said 10p eastern, I hate to move it without broad consensus. Hearing minimal response, I think it's most fair not to move it.

I responded. I thought moving it was a great idea. 🙂

Just got back from school...sorry I missed the lynch voting.

Sucks to lose philliab, but yay for WS being back!

and on another note.....

Another night in Gotham and the citizens remain vigilant. The bat signal is lit over the city - there are always clouds on cue in Gotham. As if in response, a manly batwoman is seen speeding off around the city. A cloud of gas lingers over part of the city.

Shortnsweet was seen partying too hard after an exam and was sent to jail for public intoxication. She is soon joined by kaydubs who was mysteriously tied to a well-lit telephone pole not 1 mile from the GCPD.

Amidst the confusion, hedgiehog, a citizen, is found face down in a fountain by city hall, coins glittering around her bloated body.

Deadline is going to be 2 pm eastern

Well that doesn't sound like Nyanko at all!
Hmmm...... part of the item, or a forced comment from someone else??

Anyway, I no longer have to speak in questions! I have no idea what made me have to that, other than the mods telling me to do so.

Only one kill last night, so that seems to confirm one group of wolves.

I am going to be away most of the day and night tomorrow.

I have little to go on.
Randomly saying ..

lynch EC.

simply because when I looked at her name, I thought.. "wolf".

Hopefully you come up with some much better info than that.

Talk to you on Monday.
 
Re: nyanko's post: we already knew the bomb existed. Reaction seems excessively scared? Maybe there's a Scarecrow role? There's so many Potential villains...

I'm kind of suspicious because kaydubs was delivered to the police. I'll most likely get on in the morning, but for now Lynch kaydubs.
 
look guys i don't know how you can all be so cavalier about this bomb. i mean if it explodes, it'll do so much damage! and here it is, just tick...tick....tick...

:scared:
 
also why are so many people dying?? WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!

Yep, something's definitely up here 🙄 Haha. Not sure what, though, this is the first time we've seen this reaction.

In regards to kaydubs:

She is soon joined by kaydubs who was mysteriously tied to a well-lit telephone pole not 1 mile from the GCPD.

That sounds like the work of Batman. Doesn't he always leave criminals tied up/incapacitated where the police can easily find them?

Unless other news comes out, I'm going to go ahead and say lynch kaydubs for now. I'm willing to change if other people have info, but this feels like the most solid wolf evidence so far this game.
 
Also, does anyone know anything about the bat cuffs? They were revealed to me as an item (don't wanna say how, if it's okay). Apparently they make it hard to get stuff done, which sounds to me like a silencing item?

:nod: My thoughts exactly. You just explained it better than me typing on my phone and distracted by Skullgirls.

Also, I'm pretty sure nyanko's fear is due to the Scarecrow's fear gas. I just noticed "a cloud of gas" in the write-up, so I'm definitely thinking that's what that is.

Oooh yes! I didn't even think of that. I couldn't figure out what the gas was about in the write-up, but you're probably right! Good job 👍
 
I don't suppose anyone will admit to pickpocketing me last night?
Anyway, I no longer have to speak in questions! I have no idea what made me have to that, other than the mods telling me to do so.
Doesn't it seem like SOV is leaving something out? Like maybe a strange giggling figure?

But does it mean that kaydubs is a criminal, or just that someone thought she was?

No idea. Maybe the bat cuffs have to do with that? Like maybe the item's power is to incapacitate someone in a way that Batman would? The person I talked to about them only got them last night, so they could have been used on kaydubs. Just brainstorming, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

For now I'm sticking with the lynch, though I do feel kinda icky because it seems like kaydubs probably can't defend herself. If someone did use the bat cuffs on her, maybe they should come forward, because I'd hate to lynch someone just because they had an item used on them.
