[Forum Game] The Thing: Survives!

[Ketchum]

Good work. We get rid of the Foreign Agent. Let see, my next suspect list is:

VOTE PENCHANT

[Fury]

UPDATE

VOTE Cren - Disturbedyang #128, Stabbity #129
VOTE Telrunya - Dishman #130
VOTE Penchant - Cren #132, Ketchum #135

[Ketchum]

We should have a closer look at those who voted alongside Sonya. Sonya is Foreign Agent, so there must be either one Foreign Agent or Thing there. Food for thought.

4 VOTES Cren - Stabbity #97, Penchant #102, Disturbedyang #104, Sonya #121

I have been voting Cren since 2 turns ago. I hope that someone can scan his words and i will give him a final chance.

And now i do not have anyone that i am so confident that it's the Thing and i wanna vote for. Dishman is very suspicious because his analysis is based on solely how others post. I wanna hear Ketchum tell me he is not the Thing. I know you guys think he might not be the Thing because he got wounded, but like i said, there might be two of them.

UNVOTE: Cren, VOTE: Ketchum

[Lefanis]

Ok. Arrandal and Telrunya yet have to say they aren't foreign agents or things. ThomasGriff hasn't been signed for days, so while either three of them could potentially be third things, I prefer not to go for that vote right now.

D'espana, Ketchum, and I have been attacked by the Thing. What's interesting is that on day 1, there was only one assault, but two on days 2 and 3. So on the assumption that one of the things was inactive that day. We know Cren, Stabbity, Penchant, Dishman, Ketchum, me and Disturbedyang spoke, so we cannot be the inactive thing, assuming of course, that the second thing was inactive and didn't just forget to attack. That leaves only D'espana, who got attacked that night.

Of course, the question that comes to mind if a wounded Thing can attack. If it can, my vote is on D'espana, for one of the things. Of course, this particular analysis hinges on the Thing being inactive that day, and active the next, and that wounded thing is allowed to attack. So I am not particularly satisfied with it. Further analysis incoming.

[Lefanis]

Ok.

I have just learned that a wounded Thing can attack. I am going to vote D'espana, owing to the fact that he was the inactive person on day one, when there was only 1 hunt. Afterwords, when he became active, though wounded, we had two hunts on day two and three.

[Lefanis]

Now to figure out who is the other Thing or Agent.

I've had my eye on Disturbedyang for a while.

Lets take a look at his votes.

He voted Dishman, Cren (repeatedly), Telrunya (also repeatedly, and with faulty reasoning), and now Ketchum.

His reasoning has been faulty and not watertight in my eyes. The Telrunya vote, for example, made no sense as Telrunya was inactive at the time he accused him of being the Thing. He claims people can say things without meaning them. Again, this makes zero sense.

Reason being he was the only one apart from me that said he is not the Thing like he really meant it. Without meanings behind like what Sonya and Cren is doing.

Meant it? That means nothing. If its a lie, scanners will catch it anyway.  Besides, Sonya said nothing, she never denied being the foreign agent, so again, there really can't have been hidden meaning there.

Plus, he is criticising those who voted Sonya, again, which makes little sense. Sure the bad RP might have given a hint, but this way, we saved a day by lynching her.

He was fixated on Cren for a long while, but now its suddenly Ketchum.

Both Cren and Disturbedyang have been exhibiting bad guy tells, but Disturbedyangs definitely higher on my suspect list. Hopefully, we will know more by dusk.   

[Cren]

Sorry D'Espana.. Lefanis has got a solid analysis and an extremely important information that wounded Things can still attack. If you are not, I promise I'll avenge your death. I have no option.. UNVOTE PENCHANT, VOTE D'ESPANA

[Fury]

UPDATE

VOTE Cren - Stabbity #129
VOTE Telrunya - Dishman #130
VOTE Penchant - Ketchum #135
VOTE Ketchum - Disturbedyang #138
VOTE D'Espana - Lefanis #140, Cren #142

[Dishman]

Not true. I was also attacked yesterday, when these two were still missing.

Ah, this changes things. I had thought we had a good shot to get the thing, but I suppose we still have 'shots in the dark'. The D'Espana vote seems along the same lines, but less obvious. It's still better shot than pure suspicion.

Unvote: Telrunya, Vote: D'Espana

[Stabbity]

Vote: D'Espana

[Stabbity]

Rather:

UNVOTE CREN

VOTE D'ESPANA

[Fury]

DEADLINE 5

VOTE Penchant - Ketchum #135
VOTE Ketchum - Disturbedyang #138
VOTE D'Espana - Lefanis #140, Cren #142, Dishman #144, Stabbity #145

It seemed that the clues led to Agent D'Espana and while the votes this time were more fractured with three to four candidates put up for lynching, it was D'Espana who was strung up. Agents Lefanis, Cren and Dishman came to get him and in his wounded state they didn't think he would put up much of a struggle when they smothered him in his sleep.

Except that, he wasn't sleeping - and he wasn't wounded anymore. The Frankie Nightingale that healed Agent Ketchum had also presumably healed D'Espana in his sleep and who now managed to punch Lefanis in the stomach, Dishman in the jaw, Stabbity in his ribs and Cren deservingly in the groin before they overpowered him. In his smother, they managed to hear D'Espana say "... ABUSE ... POWER ...!" and then choked, shuddered three times and croaked for the last time.

Panting from their exertion, the question now was - did they get the Thing? Or maybe another Foreign Intelligence? The answer to that came in a long drawn out wail of someone being eaten alive - Agent Arrandal had finally put in an appearance!

Unfortunately, it was a short-lived one, and the multiple howls of alien hunger jockeying for the best meat made short work of Arrandal and by the time everyone arrived at the scene of the dinner, all they could see apart from his devoured state were the words "Guess who I am" drawn in Arrandal's blood right beside him.

Such taunting. Were the MI6 Agents helpless and nothing more than the next meal? With the first alien kill and two others lynched, they were down one-third of their original members and there was now real fear in the Pit as it seemed the Ghost and the Darkness were unstoppable.


D'Espana is healed.
D'Espana is lynched.
Arrandal is killed.
Thomasgriff is still wounded.

[Lefanis]

Gah... Sorry D'espana, you should have spoken up some more. The speech analysts must have found some results by now, they really ought to be sharing their findings...

[D'Espana]

*As D'Espana lets out his final breath, a sudden breeze blows inside the building, and a few words echo in everyone's mind, as if an unknown conscience was speaking right in their brains* Not... a smart... move...

*Then, the breeze stops and the conscience fades away, and only silence remains*
