[Forum Game] The Thing: Survives!

[Dishman]

Through sloppy gestures and slurred words, you find that Agent Dishman references his earlier (very direct) words...

I am not the Thing. I am not working for foreign intelligence.

My bad, so that means... UNVOTE: Dishman, VOTE: Stabbity

[Fury]

UPDATE

VOTE Ketchum - Stabbity #157, Dishman #161
VOTE Stabbity - Cren #154, Lefanis #156, Disturbedyang #166

[Ketchum]

I have received some information and am convinced.

VOTE STABBITY

[Lefanis]

But the fact was there was only 1 attack tonight. Was the thing given the option to have two attacks - one on backup if the other fails?

I figured both Things went for the same guy. At least that's what the evidence pointed towards, and the fact that a single attack by thing results only in a serious wound, not death.

[Lefanis]

Cren- has said he isn't the thing or foreign agent.
Sonya- NKVD
Lefanis- said he wasn't thing or foreign agent.
Arrandal- dead MI6
Telrunya- inactive
Stabbity- suspected agent, has said he isn't thing, but not that he isn't foreign agent, till now when he was about to be lynched.
Ketchum- has said he isn't foreign agent, or thing, but very late.
Dishman- has said he isn't thing or foreign agent
D'Espana- MI6, wrongly lynched
Penchant- has said he isn't thing or agent.
Thomasgriff- wounded, inactive
Disturbedyang- has said he isn't thing or foreign agent.

[Lefanis]

So basically, our speech and thought analysts need to get to work, if we are to piece the truth from the lies.

[Telrunya]

I sincerely don't think Ketchum is the Thing, so I'll be  going with Stabbity on this one:

VOTE STABBITY

And yes, I'm not the Thing, as there were double-attacks before, nor am I a foreign agent. Just your regular sleeping townie that has too little time for his own good.

[Lefanis]

Oh crap. Both dying things can infect another perfectly healthy human. So in addition to the 2(?) things and 1(?) foreign agent, that's 2 more potential bad guys we'll have to deal with, that's 5 baddies in all.

There's nine of us now... Lets hope our things take each other out soon.

[Fury]

DEADLINE 6

VOTE Ketchum - Stabbity #157, Dishman #161
VOTE Stabbity - Cren #154, Lefanis #156, Disturbedyang #166, Ketchum #168, Telrunya #172

Suspecting Agent Stabbity to actually be a double agent working for a foreign intelligence, Agents Cren, Lefanis, Disturbedyang, and Ketchum drag him in front of them, draw their Walter PPKs and in an ironic twist tell him to "make a dash for the exit and hammer on the open button". Seeing no other choice, Stabbity hightails it out of there but gets cut down by 5 bullets, execution style.

It was a successful lynch but did they get a foreign operative or perhaps the Thing?

Out of nowhere, Agent Telrunya had previously reappeared to cast his vote but as he goes back to every inactive's favourite hideout, the John in the Pit, aka the Johnpit he finds the Thing in there. Maniacal laughter can be heard saying "Agent Telrunya, let's play the claw game" as the Thing claws the shower curtain open. It was smart and had stalked Telrunya for sometime now but didn't realize that Telrunya had just left to cast his vote which saved his life. In the scream of rage that was now venting from the Thing, Telrunya wisely decided to slip away and find another hidey hole...

...but first he had to complete his objective and he sets out to accomplish it and comes face to face with... danger. What was the saying now? Away from the Ghost and into the Darkness...

Back in the makeshift aid room, Agent Thomasgriff wakes up bandaged and healed, yawns and says "Hey, what's going on?" Then promptly goes back to sleep.



Stabbity is lynched.
Telrunya is attacked and wounded.
Thomasgriff is healed and can no longer be healed.

[Lefanis]

Further analysis after sunrise, as even 00 MI6 agents have to sleep...

Cren- has said he isn't the thing or foreign agent.
Sonya- NKVD
Lefanis- said he wasn't thing or foreign agent.
Arrandal- dead MI6
Telrunya- inactive
Stabbity- IMF agent
Ketchum- has said he isn't foreign agent, or thing, but very late.
Dishman- has said he isn't thing or foreign agent
D'Espana- MI6, wrongly lynched
Penchant- has said he isn't thing or agent.
Thomasgriff- wounded, inactive, count him out.
Disturbedyang- has said he isn't thing or foreign agent.

For the sake of this analysis, I count Telrunya and ThomasGriff as non suspects.
That leaves Penchant, Ketchum, Disturbedyang, Dishman, Cren and I. With two things, a random vote gives us 33% chance. I personally can afford to eliminate my own name, which would be a more respectable 40% chance, with random vote.

Cren, is lower on my suspect list as he was one of the first to say he wasn't thing or foreign agent, and has has generally seemed to be pro townie through his actions.

Disturbedyang has done faulty analysis, but I'm reluctant to vote on just that, though it could be a tell, especially as he was egging Sonya to vote me early on.

Penchant has been remarkably silent, and managed to get away from being hunted. Hmmm.

Ketchum till yesterday didn't clarify whether he was thing or foreign agent, and has been relatively silent.

Dishman is a wild card. He went from fully trusting Ketchum to wanting him dead. Also voted Telrunya, which made no sense. He was "open to lynches of Ketchum, ThomasGriff, Telrunya and Penchant."

[Dishman]

My suspicion on Ketchum has slowly raised to match Penchant. I did initially think he was clear because of injury, but two things can explain that. The vote on Telrunya was faulty reasoning (I hope), mostly from Distrubedyang's analysis of online/offline behavior.

With only one attack, it sounds like Stabbity may have been the thing...or perhaps there was a no-attack this round to throw off the trail. Either way, it benefits us if we think critically.

Cren- low suspicion, generally helpful
Lefanis- low suspicion, generally helpful
Telrunya- medium suspicion, inactive potentially returned doctor or sneaky thing
Ketchum- high suspicion, forwardly stated wasn't foreign agent, implied not the thing
Penchant- high suspicion, inactive or sneaky
Thomasgriff- low suspicion, wounded inactive
Disturbedyang- low-medium suspicion, generally helpful but sometimes misleading

I'm glad the Stabbity vote went through. Ketchum and Penchant are my next suggestions unless someone has something.

[Penchant]

Vote Dishman You have not been attacked yet. Others haven't either, but they are cleared for other reasons.

[Cren]

VOTE DISHMAN

[Dishman]

Agent Dishman seems to be hitting the sauce again.

Not been attacked..*hic*...cause I've been active. Hard to hit a live target, movin' about and such. Someone else hasn't been attacked, who been much less active. You pretty little THING, you.

Cren, mind givin an explanation? Wild votes don't help too much.

Votesh: Penchant

*hic*. If Stabbity was our active thing...then Penchant would make sense as our somewhat active thing.
