Werewolf Game. :o ??? ;D
ONLY ONE CAN SURVIVE.Optional ReadingThe Thing (http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,3136.0.html)
The Thing Returns (http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,3226.0.html)
The Thing Attacks (http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,3334.0.html)
MI6 Headquarters
Basement Level 101Fresh from the success of the capture of the extra-terrestrial creature, MI6 scientists and an assortment of agents are busy finding out what makes the Thing - tick. In less than 24 hours, ALL contact with Basement Level 101 is lost. Security protocol MI6-911 is initiated and a total lockdown is engaged. Morale, however, is high as the personnel are professionals and the facility is one of the most highly secured in existence.
ROLES- Medic - Can heal ONE person each time. Cannot heal someone who has been healed before. Can heal ownself if not healed before.
- Bodyguard - Protects ONE person from ONE Thing each time. Cannot protect the same person TWICE in a row. Automatically protects oneself against ONE attack.
- Black Operator - can remove the LAST vote cast every time. Can indirectly attack ONE person if lynched.
- Covert Operator - Hides quietly and scans spoken thoughts (PMs to GMs EXCEPT orders). Automatically escapes ONE lynch.
- Behavioural Analyst - Scans a person's speech (thread post) and analyzes it (truths, lies, fears, motives, etc).
- Foreign Intelligence - Will attempt to stop the other humans from killing the Thing. May recruit someone to their side if he or she is the only remaining agent left. The Foreign Intelligence wins when they reach parity with the other humans and there is only ONE Thing left. They MUST call in their black OPs to capture the Thing for their own nefarious use and kill off the remaining people.
- The Thing - May attack one person per day until it reaches parity and will then openly kill the last person and wins. Has a more successful attack against the quieter humans who don't speak much and keep to themselves. After several successful attacks can then attack anyone successfully. First attack will ONLY wound someone. Second attack on someone already wounded will kill. Two attacks on the same person at the same time will kill immediately. If Thing attacks Thing, the Thing with less kills loses the fight otherwise both lose. Can infect ONE human upon its death who then turns into The Thing (will NOT have any human abilities). Infected humans cannot infect others. Only ONE Thing can win.
RULES- Only ONE role per character.
- Medic, Bodyguard, Black Operator, Covert Operator, & Behavioural Analyst win when the Thing and Foreign Intelligence are killed.
- The Thing wins when everyone and everything else is killed.
- Foreign Intelligence wins when the Thing is captured and everyone and everything else is killed.
- Heal, Protect, Remove, Attack, Scan, Infect, Recruit, Call In are ORDERS and must be sent by PM to GM.
- Abilities can only give hints and not directly reveal roles of others.
- Orders will be executed with saving characters taking precedence.
- If GM makes a mistake or players disagree with GM action, any player (with a living or dead character) may stop the game and call for and make a vote. Majority vote wins, correction will be made through RP and game play will resume.
- In the event of a tie NO ONE will be lynched. Lynching also requires a minimum of 2 votes for the to-be-lynched person.
- Voting and unvoting must be done in the thread and in the following format: VOTE ..... UNVOTE ..... (any bright colour and large size)
- Deadline is BM Sunset time and is when Orders are carried out and GM Event happens.
- No editing of posts or BAD RP will follow. ;D

-
Sign me up.
-
Poor Thing!
-
;D
-
In.
-
Ahhh, this THING never dies... I am in to get rid of it again.
-
Oh man. The Thing... It is still alive? :o HORROR!
-
I am In. It still alive?? Omg, run! :P
I am not the Thing, I am not the Thing! ;D
-
All right, I'm crafting the game now.
Any must-have roles you want in it? ;D
-
I'm in. Humans beware!
-
Everyone (even the Thing) will only be able to choose ONE role for yourself. ;)
Roles not open yet until the game is ready.
-
All right, I'm crafting the game now.
Any must-have roles you want in it? ;D
Escape Artist. I LOVED the brutal role from the last WW game.
-
Escape Artist is now known as Covert Operator (with scan ability). Escape Artist wasn't brutal but I can add in a brutal role.
-
They were sperate thoughts.
-
You got me thinking. What will happen if we all choose the Thing? And maybe just 1 Agent. It will be fun, right? ;D
-
Brutal is now Black Operator.
If everyone or many are the Thing then I'd have to add the ability for the Things to choose one more role and then... it's probably going to be a massacre with the lone human or two keeping vewy vewy quiet... ;D
-
Why not? *Shakes hand*
-
If the Things outnumber humans then WIN for humans is to survive long enough to reach parity with the Things, call for help and escape. Or get recruited. ;D
-
Can we get a Doctor role for this? I was looking at the wounded and thought that Doctor seems to be missing. Maybe Doctor can heal a patient who is wounded if no stop heal for 2 days. Or if there is attack, hehehe ::)
-
Doctor is now Medic.
Rules now in. Questions?
-
Doctor is now Medic.

Yes. Where have you been all my life?

I enjoy double-vote and a hunter type person that is good but can kill someone once.
Just some ideas.

Everyone needs to PM me their role.
If you have questions, don't be shy to ask. ;D
Everyone should get the roles they choose.
Everything is available. I'll work the rules around the choices made. ;)

Old rule for the Thing reintroduced:
Has a more successful attack against the quieter humans who don't speak much and keep to themselves
Meaning:
Don't speak = die first :o ??? ;D

* IT BEGINS *
The mission to capture the Thing was a success. Keeping it alive, was a failure. Nonetheless, there was still much to be learned and now that it was dead, cutting it up along with all the humans it had killed, was the way to go.
Like anything that concerned extra-terrestrials, the Thing was brought to the lowest level of MI6, level 101. There was only one way in, and one way out. The personnel assigned to the 'Pit' were professionals who could be counted on keeping their visitor a secret. It would not do, if word got out that there was a real alien on earth. People would want to keep coming to visit and in the end MI6 would turn into another theme park and become the laughing stock of the Intelligence world...
GAME STARTS
It is time to get to know the rest of the personnel. There will be no voting or orders until someone (NPC) dies (at deadline).
PMs sent to all. Let me know if you didn't get any or if your role is not clear.
-
Dishman was buried under a pile of paperwork. Digging through examinations, requisitions, and general complaints made for bothersome reading. Of all the things to be laboring on, bureaucracy was not high on his list. Especially when new and strange things were ripe for prodding. After a deep gulp of a hidden flask, he walked to the kitchen to get away from pushing paper.
"Oh, how you guys doing? I'm dying for a good soup, anyone know how to administrate a laddle?"
-
"It's me, Agent Lefanis, the hero who brought back the Thing from Thule! And how does M repay me!?", he mutters as he walks towards his quarters, his Walther PPK pressing coldly against his thigh.
"A pity Olivia died and they had to get this government bureaucrat to do the job... Where's that bloody fool DK anyway... Bet he's responsible for the specimens death."
-
No editing of posts or BAD RP will follow.
« Last Edit: Yesterday at 04:52:40 PM by Fury »
BAD RP ;D
-
Stabbity paced furtively, muttering under his breath, a sheaf of paper in his hands. He ran a hand through his slightly curled hair and continued to read.
"But are we sure its dead? Previous research shows that any cells remaining alive will begin to work on their own and attempt to takeover a new host..."
-
The question is how and who decided it was dead?....
(OOC: Won't be posting too much of rp at least for the next few days, mostly just ooc comments)
-
Ugh, the Thing is dead?
-
Greetings once again.
Will be here supervising the disposal of this specimen, we must be prepare for anything it could happens.
I know is dead, but if the reports are rights, is not enough.
-
(OOC: On trip till Tuesday so shorter posts till then)
With something like The Thing, we can never be sure enough. Better take all the precaution we can, just in case. I rather make sure I can burn it should it just be in slumber awaiting its chance, how many times has it been now?
-
[suspicious][/suspicious]I risked life and limb to catch it alive, and now you want to kill it? If its escaped somehow, or infected someone, we ought to catch it again, that's why we're the best agency in the world, and not the KGB or CIA types...
-
Lefanis, i thought you were dead? Haha

DEADLINE 1
"And here we have the famous MI6 Headquarters - a must see on every tourist stop!" gushed the tour guide to the horde of Slavic and Yhudi tourists busy snapping shots in awe. "To misquote one of our more famous not-so-secret Secret Agent... Johnny English, you are now looking at the most secure location in all of England..." BOOM!
Explosions were going off simultaneously in multiple levels of MI6 including the Pit severing all connections with it and the rest of the building and knocking most of its personnel temporarily unconscious. When they rose groggily to their feet, they immediately did a headcount and... naturally found the Thing missing... a few of its more miniscule body parts.
"Does the Thing even have a miniscule body part?" yelled someone over the din of smoke. "Who did the autopsy?" yelled another as sirens blared in the background. Then there was silence as Snot, their faithful canine mascot was found dead with its body parts strewn all over the floor.
Deja vu?
VOTING and ORDERS are now open!
-
ACT I: SCENE I - REVELATIONS
The whole world swirled before Agent C. Slowly peeping open his eyes he found most of the lab in dismal condition. The floor was stewn with broken glass and the whole room smelled of strange reagents. "What the...?" , he suddenly remembered about the Thing and ran towards the Main Lab. . . .
He found most of the Pit personnels there. Hush hush there was the Thing had escaped. "Silly people and their stupid conclusions!", he thought. He shouted at top of his voice trying to reach everyone, "Now calm down everybody! I did the autopsy.. It can't escape on its own. Its DNA is at a quiscent stage and it is unable to replicate on its own. ." , he paused and continued, ". . . Unless its cells find a suitable host to latch into, it should be lying there. . . Now there are two chances, someone was infinestimally stupid and sumbitted himself to those filthy parasites, OR. . . Someone deliberately use those blasts to create a confusion to get away. . . Lets find out what exactly happened!
-
Sir Stabbity Goldman mutters to himself, pacing back and forth.
"Its happening! It ALWAYS happens! The Thing is loose! We're doomed!" he says, looking around, and makes a dash for the exit, hammering on the open button.
-
Penchant states,"People calm down. If we freak out and don't work together, our odds don't look so good, but if we all work together and stop freaking out, I am sure we can overcome this."
-
Dishman dusted the debris off of his person. No soup would be had this day.
"So we've lost the thing? We are to assume it has infected one of us, right? It's behavior is indicative of a kind of parasitic organism that first controls it's host and then, once it reaches a certain internal cataclysm, will be fully capable. We have time, I think. Until it reaches it's catalyst, it will give us information that can be used to pinpoint it without killing us off."
"What I think we should do, is wait and collect information while it is weak. Does anyone agree?"
-
Ketchum looks around and stands up after the explosion. "Calm down everyone. We can find out where is the Thing or what left of its, the body parts. Let gather some intel like we used to."
-
Lefanis, i thought you were dead? Haha
"Mallo.. M, is that you?" Lefanis groggily asks.
"Yes. Well done, Agents. Well done."
The Thing has been captured!
THE END
[/color][/glow][/center]
I lived... To die another day...
-
I lived... To die another day...
Ahh, my bad. It was your game. Not you. Sonya and D'Espana died together as the finale. Haha.
Back to the game, who else hasn't reported back yet?
-
[suspicious][/suspicious]I risked life and limb to catch it alive, and now you want to kill it? If its escaped somehow, or infected someone, we ought to catch it again, that's why we're the best agency in the world, and not the KGB or CIA types...
Care to repeat that again?
THAT is not anymore here, what are we suppose to o now?
-
...what are we suppose to o now?
I didn't understand the rest, but I'm going to vote Sonya. You seemed jumpy when I criticised the CIA/KGB.
-
I didn't understand the rest, but I'm going to vote Sonya. You seemed jumpy when I criticised the CIA/KGB.
CIA? KGB? what are you talking about, i talked to you because you said this:
I risked life and limb to catch it alive
And you are voting me for it? because i don't want the Thing to be alive?
What side are you on? on our side, or the Thing's Side?
-
CIA? KGB? what are you talking about, i talked to you because you said this:

Uhh, I caught the Thing in Thule and brought it here for further investigation. Our task is to bring the escaped Thing back into our control, and keep it from the KGB/CIA, who are also the bad guys, which I think you know.
And I'm voting you because you got jumpy about the foreign agents bit, so you may be one of the foreign agents.

DEADLINE 2
VOTE Sonya - Lefanis #57
Agent Cren was the first to take action and control of the situation while Agent Penchant and Agent Ketchum tried to help him by calming everybody down and setting off to gather some intel like they used to. Agent Stabbity, however, made for the exit mashing the open button repeatedly until it fell off the door. Agent Dishman was calm and collected and tried to get a consensus going but no one was listening. Agent Disturbedyang wanted to know who hadn't reported in but no was was replying.
Agent Lefanis was moaning in a corner that he lived to die another day while Agent Sonya dared him to repeat some comment made before the explosion and immediately Lefanis voted to have her lynched but he didn't meet the minimum requirement. Then they started arguing. Apparently, there was still residual sparks from the blast.
Then Agent D'Espana's scream of terror down the hall had everyone rushing to him. D'Espana had come face to face with the Thing! "Haha, you are dead", shrilled a chilling alien voice with an eerily familiar phrase but when everyone got there, the Thing was gone.
Long before the arrival of the Thing to the Pit, D'Espana was heard talking about planting a bomb in someone's donkey. It didn't make sense and everyone thought he was bonkers but it wasn't right the way he was cut up by what seemed to be razor sharp claws. "Where was security?" someone yelled.
It was probably his own fault for being a loner. If he had been with others it was unlikely he would have been attacked. Still, he was alive but another attack like this and it would certainly be his last.
D'Espana has been wounded.
-
OK, now we have some information to work with.
We can make several assumptions. That A. D'Espana is trustworthy. B. There is either only one Thing or a bodyguard was successful. C. D'Espana will need both bodyguards and doctors to survive.
From here, things look good. We can block the thing's actions, protecting ourselves for more time. We can likely afford a mislynch, for more information, but that may be a needless sacrifice. For now, what we really need is finger pointing for reactions...so.
VOTE: Stabbity
Lefanis, explain why the vote for Sonya. Sonya, explain why no rebuttal to Lefanis's accusations. Stabbity, sweat for me.
-
As of now, 3 are still not around. Arrandal, Telrunya and Thomasgriff.
But you are right Dishman, so VOTE: Dishman. Reason from my previous post.
-
VOTE DISHMAN
I hope this is the response you were hoping to elicit Agent Dishman.
-
VOTE DISHMAN
I hope this is the response you were hoping to elicit Agent Dishman.
An 'Oh My God, You Suck" vote is usually a pretty good way of gauging how town oriented a person is. It says you don't care if a person is acting good or bad, just you want anyone pointing fingers at you gone. Not a complete indication that a person is the thing, but a good indication that their votes might not be town-friendly. All responses are useful, some more than others.
But you are right Dishman, so VOTE: Dishman. Reason from my previous post.
How so? Ahh, my bad. It was your game. Not you. Sonya and D'Espana died together as the finale. Haha.
Back to the game, who else hasn't reported back yet?
This doesn't seem to give a reason toward voting me.
So far no one has really tried to lead the discussion. It may bring more attention to me, but I'm trying to put forward plans that can help us flush out the thing. The attention that does get focused on someone trying to orient the town may be a better indication of thingyness.

Its not an "Oh you suck vote." It's a "you voted for me randomly, I'm town, I'd prefer to survive, and you voting me (the townie) is distinctly anti-town."
A great man once said "Lynching Town is anti-Town."
-

A great man once said "Lynching Town is anti-Town."
Another good quote is 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks". Calling yourself town and voting for another person (because you are town) for voting for you is still an OMGUS vote. It all comes down to how/why they voted. Granted, my vote was mostly random, but when the bomb went off everyone tried to keep their cool except for you...who tried to run off like you had been kept in a cage for months. I had to start somewhere, because without any reactions we sit quietly while the thing picks us off.
So far, the only clear we really have is D'Espana. Stabbity is a reactionary and Arrandal, Telrunya and Thomasgriff are quiet. I'm still looking at DisturbedYang for reasoning on his vote, and there are still several who have yet to put any theories out. We have the advantage right now, and we should use it to find information.
-
Uhh, I caught the Thing in Thule and brought it here for further investigation. Our task is to bring the escaped Thing back into our control, and keep it from the KGB/CIA, who are also the bad guys, which I think you know.
And I'm voting you because you got jumpy about the foreign agents bit, so you may be one of the foreign agents.
This is the most idiotic Sentence EVER some one could say!
You talk about random things (Front A to D, i got against somethings (A and B~) and you vote me because i an against C and D?
NO!
Our task is not to bring the thing under control, out task NOW is to kill the Thing, We win if the Thing Dies! I win if the Thing die, and i want the Thing to die.
And you jumped and Vote me, what are you scare of? I m not accusing you, i am just simply talking to you, why are you so defensive?

Dishman - haha. I am going to say something that sounds absurdly stupid. I thought i did post my reasoning because it was all playing in my mind but i don't have time to post it. hahahaha :p Okay, the reason was because i have not actually played with you and it seems to me you were too "enthusiastic" as if someone that got a good character to play with. Simple as that. Not a good reason but something good to start with i guess.
Also, Sonya, i think Lefanis is an agent himself. Somehow something tells me that he is trying to flush out the other so that he can get rid of him.
As of Stabbity, his play has always been erratic, and that actually makes it kinda hard to judge. You know we always try to get rid of erratic behaviour and yet you do the same when you are a townie. So....DOH!
I have no idea-yet what Sonya is.
And i agreed that D'Espana is a high chance townie. Of course pending there's no two "Thing"s alive. But he is not much of a worry because if that's the case, he will be dead fast enough anyway.
Ketchum seems to be playing a behind the scene game nowadays. Are you afraid we know your reaction, Ketchum? Haha.
There are still a few that remained quiet. Please be reminded you are the TARGET unless you start talking. Unless of course you are the THING! So i think our best chance now lies in getting rid of the quiets one....
Hence, UNVOTE: Dishman VOTE: Cren - simply because i have never played with him and i want to see his reactions.
-
Hmm, first of all. Let us start off.
We should continue talking. The Thing has a considerable success chance to attack those quiet Agents, professionals, etc. If you are quiet, you are in danger of being attacked. If you the quiet ones have any Power Role, you are not helping the Townie either. If you are Thing, er, sorry we talk to the wrong guys :P
On another note, yes. I have to agree Lefanis has higher chance to become Agent/Foreign Agent. He acts too gung-ho on this ;)
Disturbedyang, my reaction is simple. Staying alive of course ::)
-
As of Stabbity, his play has always been erratic, and that actually makes it kinda hard to judge. You know we always try to get rid of erratic behaviour and yet you do the same when you are a townie. So....DOH!
This I did not know. Perhaps his vote means less than I thought. Maybe it would be better to spread the vote across mutes. This way we take away potential victims (and lurking things).
UNVOTE: Stabbity, VOTE: Thomasgriff.
-
*He moans in his recovery sleep, unheard nightmares terrorizing his dreams*
(OOC: Sorry guys, I've got me a busy weekend, as usual. Also, can the wounded vote?)
-

(OOC: Sorry guys, I've got me a busy weekend, as usual. Also, can the wounded vote?)
I believe so D'Espana. But if you are attacked one more time, you will be dead. Fury made it so we sort of have 2 lives. Presumably the game isn't as easy...especially since we all choose our own characters(or not).
-
On another note, yes. I have to agree Lefanis has higher chance to become Agent/Foreign Agent. He acts too gung-ho on this ;)
Also, Sonya, i think Lefanis is an agent himself. Somehow something tells me that he is trying to flush out the other so that he can get rid of him.
Did you two even read the rules? Didja? Of course I'm an agent. Of course I'm trying to flush out the foreign agents. Everyone here are agents, unless you're the Thing. Did you miss the fact that we're buried deep inside MI6 HQ? All townies are agents. That's why we are supposed to catch the Thing, that's the win condition for agents, always has been. A pertinent question to ask, is who you are working for, and I can attest that I've been a 00 agent, and I'm on Her Majesty's Secret Sevice. Suck on that, you behavioural agents.
-
Experience tells me voting the inactives is going to bite us in the ass. And those who are so eager to do so need to be investigated.
So, I vote Dishman. He hurriedly tries to vote an inactive after other people vote him. Could be nothing, but I've got nothing much for now to go on.
-
Also, I call on everyone to say these things publicly, and follow my lead, or I will lead a vote against you.
"I am not the Thing.
I am not working for foreign intelligence."
-
It is you Dishman.. Trying to spread the infection. VOTE DISHMAN. Few more people are acting strangely calm.. Disturbedyang and Ketchum, I'm watching you!
-
Joining the part, eh, Cren? I haven't hear you say you aren't the thing or foreign agent.
UNVOTE DISHMAN
VOTE CREN
-
I don't take orders from you, but I'll still say it: "I am not the Thing. I am not working for Foreign Intelligence." Is that okay?
-
I favor it being Dishman for reasons others have already stated. Vote Dishman
-
I am not the Thing, and I am most assuredly not working for some two bit organization like the KGB or the CIA. That would be undoubtedly not British.
-
Wounded can still vote. Easy enough to point a finger or say a name. ;)
UPDATE
VOTE Dishman (3) - Stabbity #63, Cren #76, Penchant #79
VOTE Cren (2) - Disturbedyang #68, Lefanis #77
VOTE Thomasgriff (1) - Dishman #70
-
Fury, you missed #76! :O
-
Oops, so I did :-[ - corrected now.
Everytime I post, someone double check for me. :)
-
Also, I call on everyone to say these things publicly, and follow my lead, or I will lead a vote against you.
"I am not the Thing.
I am not working for foreign intelligence."
Clever way to make behavioral analysis work. We need you to say it, not just instruct us to say it, though. I am not the Thing. I am not working for foreign intelligence.
I am not the Thing, and I am most assuredly not working for some two bit organization like the KGB or the CIA. That would be undoubtedly not British.
Clever way of trying to avoid outright saying "I am not foreign intelligence". You are Mossad, aren't you? I would suggest a scan of Stabbity given his erratic behavior if he ever makes a statement that can be scanned.
As to voting an inactive, I had hoped to stir some of them. The only reason people are voting for me is because I've drawn attention, which would be stupid if I had any powerful position. The Thing is likely sitting with the inactives or the casual bandwaggoners. I suppose splitting the vote is my only hope, now. Cren has been less than helpful, and his bandwagon jump against me after seeing a few votes my way are pretty good indications.
UNVOTE: Thomasgriff, VOTE: CREN
-
I am not the Thing.
I am not working for foreign intelligence.
-
I will not vote on first day without concrete evidence.
I will keep watching, but is more likely i keep my vote..for today.

Aaaaaaah... I am not... the Thing... neither working for... uhhhhhh... foreign intelligence. Oh, for the Queen's sake, this !@#$ hurts... I won't vote for today, as I... don't have a clear opinion. Now, I'll rest... just for a bit... Aaaaaaaah...

DEADLINE 3
3 VOTES Dishman - Stabbity #63, Cren #76, Penchant #79
3 VOTES Cren- Disturbedyang #68, Lefanis #77, Dishman #84
Agent Dishman started the ball rolling on the voting. Ironically, it started rolling back towards him when Agents Disturbedyang and Stabbity questioned his rolling. Agent Sonya became emotional about what Agent Lefanis had previously said but he ignored her and concentrated on other things. Agent Ketchum didn't like Lefanis' gung-ho'ness. In the end, the votes were tied and people started grumbling and went back to whatever work they could still do.
Out of nowhere, Agent D'Espana started moaning, proving to everyone that he was still alive. Then Lefanis hit on the brainwave of getting everyone to say that they were not the Thing nor working for Foreign Intelligence but it remained to be seen how well it would work out with at least one agent not keen on taking orders from him, though they tried to say what he wanted them too - at least the ones who were talking.
While Lefanis was in the midst of getting people to proclaim their innocence, it was still rather chaotic after all with the Pit a complete mess, a low menacing growl appeared from somewhere and seemed directed towards Lefanis. To his credit, he had after all experienced this first-hand before, the moment the growl started and people around him started screaming like little girls, Lefanis turned and ran without looking back, even pushing people and things behind him to block the advance of the Thing who started howling in dismay as after D'Espana's misfortune, Lefanis was smart enough to plant himself in the middle of people - as an early warning system.
Naturally, in the face of such horror, no one could recall who was there and who wasn't and no one was looking to see where the Thing went either as everyone was busy scampering to save their own skins. Then someone said, "Where's Ketchum?" Forming a search party, they set out to look for Ketchum amidst the rubble and smoldering wreck of the Pit. In a half collapsed corridor, they heard a menacing alien voice say, "I am surprised M still hired you as their..." followed by a gasp from Ketchum who started screaming for help. When they got to him, he was in a similar condition to D'Espana.
Ketchum is wounded.
D'Espana is still wounded.
-
Hmm.. Agents Ketchum and D'Espana.. BFF were wounded. Sonya, can you prove me that you are still human? VOTE SONYA.
-
First up, medic, please start doing your job. You can heal people that are wounded here!
And I am NOT the Thing, nor i am working for any foreign intelligence. And i swear by those words.
Cren-if u are saying it for the sake of saying it, it doesn't make a difference.
Sonya sort of gave me the feeling that, "Oh, these guys are fighting among themselves, i should stay out of it." - something that happens when you are the bad guy. At least that's my opinion for now unless you can change that.
Cren - what do you even mean by spreading the infection? Your excuse on Dishman was irrelevant at all. And somehow, posting at the end that you suspects someone else without analysis whatsoever. Sounds to me like you are trying to get one after the other with lynch and killing them. Something makes me think Fury will give you the main character after coming back from a long off. It seems that you were pretty "famous" despite that i haven't played with you before.
For now, i will try to see what sonya has to say...
I was about to post this...until Cren posted his. And i went back and analyse something.
Arrandal and Thomasgriff was inactive for the past few days. But not Telrunya. It's either he is working on the background, or he is the Thing.
VOTE: Telrunya
-
On further analysis, Penchant is acting wolfie. Have anybody seen him vote or anything? Yet he seems to be strangely active. Telrunya is not the Thing that attacked, he is most probably on our side. Thomasgriff and Arrandal are sleeping, they couldn't have attacked anyone. Ketchum and D'Espana are outta suspicion. That leaves:
Cren - Townie
Sonya - Suspected
Lefanis - Under suspicion
Arrandal - Not the Thing
Telrunya - Not the Thing
Stabbity - Suspected
Ketchum - Not the Thing
Dishman - High Suspicion
D'Espana - Not the Thing
Penchant - High Suspicion
Thomasgriff - Not the Thing
Disturbedyang - Suspected
I don't hold any grudge against any of you. Feel free to prove me wrong.
-
I don't fear to die but I'll take the Thing with me if death comes. Yo Behavorial Analyst and people able to read (when did MI6 start recruiting psychics O_o) minds, I challenge you to find anything wrong with me. Lets get the Justice League started, I want you and other scanned townies in it. The Thing is among us, lets find it out.
-
TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
This is to certify that Agent C is ready with a defibrilator, double barrel shotgun and tasty mead. He has a thing for killing Things and often invites abominations to take him on. He has worked with the MI6 for a long time and is one of our best field agents. Things Beware! He is waiting for YOU!
-
Hmm.. Agents Ketchum and D'Espana.. BFF were wounded. Sonya, can you prove me that you are still human? VOTE SONYA.
What can i do to prove it?
I couldn't certainly have a clue of what everyone is after, my first suspect was Lefanis, but then he makes everyone play along saying "I am something"
You may excuse me, but playing "Simon Says" won't solve anything.
OCC: You guys are unlucky, my boss came to the office to see how things are running.
-
So far I've got some good suspicions, but no definite reads.
Cren - jumped on me with little explanation, lets say medium suspicion
Sonya - Hiding and not helpful, lets say high suspicion
Lefanis - Attempting to lead with a good plan, yet still has not stated his own innocence. Some/little suspicion
Arrandal - Hiding and not helpful (confirmed inactive?)
Telrunya - Hiding and not helpful (confirmed inactive?)
Stabbity - Erratic and evasive, high suspicion
Ketchum - Not the Thing
D'Espana - Not the Thing
Penchant - Hiding and not helpful with some unexplained bandwaggoning, medium suspicion
Thomasgriff - Not the Thing (confirmed inactive?)
Disturbedyang - Putting forward effort, some/little suspicion
So far I'm leaning toward Sonya as thing, Stabbity as Foreign Agent, an inactive as doctor. I'm not fond of using OOC activity (people not logging on) as indicators. It's too gamey. I suppose we've already started, though. I'll leave that line of debate to others and stick with prodding. I'll save my vote for now and try to chime in before the deadline.
-
Cren - mind i ask why you suspected me? And Ketchum as well as D'Espana aren't cleared. They could still be the Thing. One might be inactive until the other dies, at least i think that's how Fury keeps the balance.
-
I feel Cren is acting pretty defensive, and am getting a not so friendly vibe from him.
VOTE CREN
-
You know what is funny, if i say something, some one blames me, because i am defending myself of anything.
I didn't understand the rest, but I'm going to vote Sonya. You seemed jumpy when I criticised the CIA/KGB.
[/size]
And if i don't say anything some one else blames me, because i am quiet.
Sonya sort of gave me the feeling that, "Oh, these guys are fighting among themselves, i should stay out of it." - something that happens when you are the bad guy. At least that's my opinion for now unless you can change that.
Or even more dramatic, lets blame some one to see how acts, is like saying, "let's trow some one tied to the river, if float is a witch"
Sonya - Hiding and not helpful, lets say high suspicion
So far I'm leaning toward Sonya as thing.
Well. detail detail.. is time for me to analyze what everyone has said, is my time to Shine here, and find out who is behind all this!
-
UNVOTE SONYA. Stabbity seems to jump on other's back suddenly, why?
Whoever is the Thing, meet me after today's vote is over. Bring your claws, I'll bring my shotgun.
-
As of now, 3 are still not around. Arrandal, Telrunya and Thomasgriff.
But you are right Dishman, so VOTE: Dishman. Reason from my previous post.
What if we all are wrong and Disturbedyang is the Thing?
-
Dishman - haha. I am going to say something that sounds absurdly stupid. I thought i did post my reasoning because it was all playing in my mind but i don't have time to post it. hahahaha :p Okay, the reason was because i have not actually played with you and it seems to me you were too "enthusiastic" as if someone that got a good character to play with. Simple as that. Not a good reason but something good to start with i guess.
Also, Sonya, i think Lefanis is an agent himself. Somehow something tells me that he is trying to flush out the other so that he can get rid of him.
As of Stabbity, his play has always been erratic, and that actually makes it kinda hard to judge. You know we always try to get rid of erratic behaviour and yet you do the same when you are a townie. So....DOH!
I have no idea-yet what Sonya is.
And i agreed that D'Espana is a high chance townie. Of course pending there's no two "Thing"s alive. But he is not much of a worry because if that's the case, he will be dead fast enough anyway.
Ketchum seems to be playing a behind the scene game nowadays. Are you afraid we know your reaction, Ketchum? Haha.
There are still a few that remained quiet. Please be reminded you are the TARGET unless you start talking. Unless of course you are the THING! So i think our best chance now lies in getting rid of the quiets one....
Some docs to help with investigation. He has been tempting Sonya to vote for lefanis.
-
Hmm.. Agents Ketchum and D'Espana.. BFF were wounded. Sonya, can you prove me that you are still human? VOTE SONYA.
I Vote Cren. If people could prove they were human with ease, we wouldn't be doing a witch-hunt to find out who is the Thing. He knows this and thus is trying to have someone prove something he know they can't. By the way, I am quieter, but I did vote last turn.
-
Posting less is still open to attack. Uh...
(OOC: Busy working life, I will post more from now on. Will do more analysis in moaning mode later today)
-
Sonya - you should know the game better, it's all about blaming and see how the others react. Somehow, i don't think you reaction is that good afterall...
Cren - you seems to wanna blame whoever that finds fault in you. And things you posted about my posts doesn't even mean anything. And we all know the foreign agents are least of our worries now. We need to get rid of the Thing, not the foreign agents because they can recruit when they are down to the last. So tempting Sonya to vote Lefanis by telling her Lefanis is an foreign agent? Hmmmm. And perhaps you know that i am suspecting you as the Thing and you can get rid of me by attacking me, hence you trying to lead a lynch on me because i did that on you the previous turn?
I am leaning towards both of them, that's for sure. But i am also wondering where is Telrunya....
*Cren first, as Sonya edited her(?) post. So i am sure we will get a hint of her. :p
UNVOTE: Telrunya, VOTE: Cren
-
Sonya has refused to work with the rest of the group. She has tried to generate tensions between some of us. More unusual is her usual townie tactic is turtling and vote sniping now and then, even in Thing games. This time, she She won't even say she isn't the thing/ foreign agent, which just smells of bad intentions. It's our best shot to give our behavioural analysts someway to create a unturned agents list.
VOTE SONYA
-
I'll rather not be up for lynchin people unless we have some solid evidence which we will get by tonight. So I VOTE SONYA just to keep everyone alive.
Disturbedyang and Penchant- Want some Botox? Signs of ageing are visible on you.. I don't know why.
-
Clever way to make behavioral analysis work. We need you to say it, not just instruct us to say it, though.
That's twice you mention this. I am sure the analysts can analyse what I said earlier, but since its not enough for you, I'll go again-
"I am not the Thing, nor am I working for a foreign intelligence agency."
-
UPDATE
VOTE Cren - Stabbity #97, Penchant #102, Disturbedyang #104
VOTE Sonya - Lefanis #105, Cren #106
-
Also, Disturbedyang is next on the suspect list, next to Sonya. He's had time to write walls of text, but not to say that he isn't the Thing or foreign agent, like Sonya. I'm almost certain one of them is one of the wolfies. Disturbedyang has also voted Telrunya, who's been missing two whole days, and thus cannot be responsible for the murders. All evil tells.
Also,
And we all know the foreign agents are least of our worries now. We need to get rid of the Thing, not the foreign agents because they can recruit when they are down to the last.
Lies. Foreign agents become more dangerous as the game goes on. It becomes easier for them to recruit, as there is more incentive for a townie to defect to them then. It's very hard to stop foreign agent victory if they elude the town till the end. I infiltrated Thule myself, so I know this firsthand.
I am willing to change my vote to Disturbedyang, if the rest of us British Agents can reach a consensus. Till then, my vote is to Sonya.
-
I would also like to hear more from Penchant and Stabbity about their Cren vote. "Being defensive" isn't necessarily a tell on his part. I'm not going to remove him from suspicion altogether, but he isn't at the top like Sonya and Disturbedyang. Plus, he's tried to work with the group and given our analysts something to work with.
-
And I am NOT the Thing, nor i am working for any foreign intelligence. And i swear by those words.
I did not see this. Sticking with the Sonya vote for now, but requesting analysts to scan Disturbedyang ASAP.
-
I did not see this. Sticking with the Sonya vote for now, but requesting analysts to scan Disturbedyang ASAP.
Exactly what i was about to post. And mind you, i posted it with real intentions. Not just stating it for the sake of stating it unlike the rest of the guys.
I would also like to hear more from Penchant and Stabbity about their Cren vote. "Being defensive" isn't necessarily a tell on his part. I'm not going to remove him from suspicion altogether, but he isn't at the top like Sonya and Disturbedyang. Plus, he's tried to work with the group and given our analysts something to work with.
And somehow you just conveniently dismissed my analysis. So you are worried because i mentioned to everyone you are a Foreign agent? And I suspected Telrunya yesterday, because he was only a day away(before the turn change), but he was here when the game started and yet he did not post whatsoever. Hence the suspicious. And obviously i realized he is now two days away when i changed my vote to Cren.
The funniest thing being that you did not state any opinions at all about Cren but yet you asked why the others voted for him and you trying so hard to change everyone's votes on me out of nowhere. Sounds very likely that Cren is indeed the Thing and you are the Foreign Agent who realized this and try to keep him alive.
-
Cren - He posts analysis and helping the Townies/Fellow Agents. Most likely good.
Sonya - High Suspected, She not helping the Townies
Lefanis - Actively leading the Townies/Fellow Agents. But there is something else
Arrandal - Not the Thing
Telrunya - Not the Thing
Stabbity - His actions are unreadable, maybe Agent Q has reprogrammed him
Ketchum - Not the Thing
Dishman - He posts analysis and helping the Townies/Fellow Agents. Low to Medium good.
D'Espana - Not the Thing
Penchant - His actions are unreadable, maybe Agent Q has reprogrammed him
Thomasgriff - Not the Thing
Disturbedyang - He posts analysis and helping the Townies. But there is something else
VOTE SONYA
-
Ok after almost a whole day, i finished reading and my opinion in all this is as follow.
Cren:
Active, doesn't follow Lefanis. Started the Analisis list, was seen as a treat after this, seems to be in the good side, or too good to be true? Want to preserve the most life possible.
ME:
I am the mainly suspect, my lack of participation has proven that i have been negligent with this case, even single apologies would cover my faults.
Lefanis:
Fan of the Thing, wanted to keep it alive, turned defensive and accused me just for question a random thing. Seems to be popular with a certain group, since he is charismatic he can make others follow him. he acts like a true "LEADER"
Arrandal:
Is hiding somewhere, is he scared of somethign or is plottign behind everyone's back.
Telrunya:
Is hiding somewhere, is he scared of somethign or is plottign behind everyone's back. Arrandal's acomplice?
Ketchum:
Was wounded, but aren't those wounded by the thing.... susceptible to become infected and later a thing itself?
Stabbity:
He got accused for the simple preoccupation for the Thing, but on first day even me was accursed for that. after that he was let out, and only have been voting....silently.
Dishman:
Acted impulsively against Stabity on the very first day, just the same as Lefanis acted. Later he joined his band wagon, but looks innocent to me since he is looking for clues, to follow.
D'Espana:
Was wounded, but aren't those wounded by the thing.... susceptible to become infected and later a thing itself?
Penchant:
He has been calmly...following!
Thomasgriff:
Is hiding somewhere, is he scared of somethign or is plottign behind everyone's back. Arrandal's and Telrunya's acomplice?
Disturbedyang:
Very observant, and good annalist, if he is in the good side the Thing will never prevail!
Well after my Analisis on what everyone has said, sadly i have no sage powers, but the ones i mainly suspect are Lefanis, Me, and followed by Dishman. being the second easily solvable with my participation, so for now my vote still sticks with the Lynching Leader Aka "Simon Says", Lefanis.
I Vote For Lefanis
-
OCC: hahaha i didn't read the Explosion part, and i was wondering what was everyone talking about ::)
-
So Sonya, are you the Thing?
-
Telrunya walks in the room and grabs the first drink he can find, emptying the entire bottle of what hopefully wasn't any dangerous liquid. Dropping a grumbled map that obviously hadn't been of any use, he gasps:
"Finally! I found my way back to civilization......I was walking around and before I know it I was somewhere very unfamiliar. You know there's even lower research cells in this place? You DONT want to know what kind of creepy stuff they are doing down there, sjeesh. Ill never sleep peacefully again....Anything happen while I was gone?"
Not voting since random voting wont do any good at this point in the game. Ill be fully here again tomorrow.
(OOC: Returned from my trip with Arrandal, took us more time then we thought and we couldnt keep track of the game, apologies)
-
UPDATE
VOTE Cren - Stabbity #97, Penchant #102, Disturbedyang #104
VOTE Sonya - Lefanis #105, Cren #106, Ketchum #113
VOTE Lefanis - Sonya #114
-
Vote: Sonya
Given my suspicions (which haven't changed drastically), If Lefanis and Ketchum are my most trusted people (and they are voting one of my high suspicions) it seems logical to follow suit.
It's interesting to see such a vote split.
-
*He starts moaning again, awakened by all the commotion* Why is everyone... being so loud? Anyway, we need... to catch the Thing... before it attacks again... I feel that I will die tonight... *His finger dramatically rises, pointing to Sonya* I VOTE SONYA! *He grips his wounds, moaning again* And where is... the godforsaken medic?
-
Well this one goes for Survival.
Unvote Lefanis
Vote Cren

DEADLINE 4
4 VOTES Cren - Stabbity #97, Penchant #102, Disturbedyang #104, Sonya #121
5 VOTES Sonya - Lefanis #105, Cren #106, Ketchum #113, Dishman #119, D'Espana #120
Agent Sonya was just too disbelievable. Agents Lefanis, Cren, Ketchum, Dishman, and with moral support from D'Espana, confront the femme fatale.
Bad RP #94
"Скажи Привет моему маленькому другу, MИ-6! Потрясенный тем не менее, дураков? Hahahaha!"
The lynching committee was stunned at the sudden outpouring of foreign words but it galvanized them into action and a flamethrower was no match for 5 Walter PPKs in action and she went down like vodka. Going through her stuff, they find the following note in code form. After deciphering it, it read:
Агент Соня,
Это последний раз, когда мы приносим вам вернуться живым. Есть только так много Ботокс, которую мы можем придерживаться в вас. Либо принести что вещь вернуться ЖИВЫМ или не на всех.
Директор, КГБ.
NOTE: Bad RP is usually a small disadvantage - unless you die then we go for the whole shebang. Dying will also not reveal your role - unless you die with a Bad RP.Right on cue, D'Espana's moans turn into a scream of terror as the Thing pays him a visit but D'Espana was lucid enough to jump off his make-shift bed and high-tail it out of there - faster than the Thing could chase him which made the Thing wonder if he should go for the easier prey - and there were at least 2 solitary individuals hiding somewhere in the Pit.
At the same time, another voice started screaming in the dark. Agent Thomasgriff had finally appeared and he collapsed in the main hall where people could see that something had scraped the following unfinished sentence into the back of his head:
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..."
Then Agent Ketchum suddenly nonchalantly strolls in completely healed - more or less! When asked about it, all he knew was that someone had bandaged him up and gave him some shots while he was asleep.
Sonya is lynched.
Thomasgriff is wounded.
D'Espana is still wounded.
Ketchum is healed and cannot be healed again.
-
Blehhh :P
You got lucky my boss was all day yesterday, my plan was to bury you all!
You just got lucky!
Я только сожалею, что у меня есть только одна жизнь, чтобы потерять для моей страны
-
KGB down, huzzah!
So what can be gathered. Our doctor is back or at least doing his job now. The previous votes being split may be indicative of allegiance differences. Does anyone know if there are likely to be multiple foreign agents and if they know each other? If so, then we can assume that Stabbity/Penchant/Disturbedyang are not to be trusted (unless Sonya's hypothetical partner decided to throw her under the bus).
For now, I'm leaning toward Penchant. I was sure Stabbity was the foreign agent, but people have said he is erratic so I'm less sure of his guilt. Either way, it'll do us better to catch the thing because I assume it is now capable of making kills rather than wounds. Therefore, I'm voting Penchant for general 'active but trying to stay hidden'. I'm willing to switch to Stabbity, but I'm less fond of lynching Disturbedyang. I trust Cren and Lefanis.
Vote: Penchant
-
That's the NKVD agent down! I guess she only lived twice! 8)
-
Those PPKs were great. Thanks M, you atleast gave us something better than pitchforks to fight with.. Now over to the real job.. KGB infiltrator is dead and Thing is running around.
5 years from now, people are gonna ask what were you doing when the Thing wreaked havoc on the world.. We are gonna say, we just sit back and lynched each other. So stop acting like headless chickens and use some analysis. Now where is that psychic and speech therapist M recruited?
-
Bloody good job everyone, Uncle Putnov will be put off by this. Now, who's the American mole? Time to plug our leaks.
-
It's kinda suspicious that i have mentioned Sonya will get a bad RP but some of you guys still decides to lynch her instead of Cren. I would like to hear why you guys think Cren is a good guy. He is the most suspicious guy i have right now. It also seems now that there are probably TWO THINGs around here with the two attacks. I would suspect one of them to be either Telrunya or Arrandal. Since the attack came when they are back.
And lynching is the only way to go, Cren. Your reluctance to lynch is really anti-town. Without lynching, we will slowly being picked off one by one. We seems to established that on previous games when you weren't around.
Lastly, personally, i don't think there's partner for any of the foreign agents. There might be two different factions, but not two agents for each. Like i said, i look at this from a balance point of view. If there are 4 foreign agents, we will never win the game as soon as we lynch one town guy. Of course they can fight each other but imo its imbalanced. Especially if it's true if there are two things.
I will VOTE: Cren again on the basis that he did not even try to tell us properly he is not the Thing. If you convince me by stating clearly that you, Cren is not the Thing. I will trust you on the basis that someone will scan you and exposed you eventually.
TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
This is to certify that Agent C is ready with a defibrilator, double barrel shotgun and tasty mead. He has a thing for killing Things and often invites abominations to take him on. He has worked with the MI6 for a long time and is one of our best field agents. Things Beware! He is waiting for YOU!
This statement has nothing to do with you whatsoever. Agent C can be anyone. And your reluctance to tell us you are not is the same as Sonya. You are on the bad side.
And my analysis on everyone else.
Telrunya and Arrandal - One of them is the Thing! Seems that way with 2 attacks last turn when they were back.
Cren - as stated above
Lefanis - Most likely an agent. Eventhough he leads everyone into stating the statement, it seems like he is just saying a statement himself instead of really meant it.
Stabbity - less erratic as he seems to be. Maybe he's holding a good guy position. The last time he was on a bad guy position, he just went havoc. The thing is he has been bandwagoning since the start. 3rd on my list.
Dishman - Comes in and out all of a sudden. And this time leading a lynch again. Goes up my suspicious list right below Cren.
Penchant - I think he is the safest. 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.
Thomasgriff, D'Espana, Ketchum - I think they are safe for now but irregardless, if one of them is the thing, that confirms that there are TWO. And if it's true if there are two, we will let them kill themselves, as one needs to kill the other to win.
Did i miss anyone? Hmm. But if you are really on the good side, what's the harm of telling others you are not the Thing nor Foreign agent? And actually meant it of course.
p/s-sorry for the long post
-
That is solid analysis. Excepting myself of course. There is a difference between bandwagoning and agreeing. So once again I VOTE CREN .
-
I would like to hear why you guys think Cren is a good guy. He is the most suspicious guy i have right now. It also seems now that there are probably TWO THINGs around here with the two attacks. I would suspect one of them to be either Telrunya or Arrandal. Since the attack came when they are back.
I trust Cren mostly on intuition. He placed pretty high on my suspicions early on for throwing votes around, but it seems like he was doing what I was doing...getting reactions.
As to inactive thing...I hadn't noticed that. I figured it was rp flavor, but D'Espana and Thomasgriff screamed 'at the same time'...so now it does seem like we have two attacks (one failed?). My Penchant vote was mostly a shot in the dark (and to get him to put a little more forward), but if we did have an inactive thing...a 1/2 shot is our best bet. For now I'll take the 1/2 shot unless I'm convinced otherwise.
Unvote: Penchant, Vote: Telrunya
-
It also seems now that there are probably TWO THINGs around here with the two attacks. I would suspect one of them to be either Telrunya or Arrandal. Since the attack came when they are back.
Not true. I was also attacked yesterday, when these two were still missing.
While Lefanis was in the midst of getting people to proclaim their innocence, it was still rather chaotic after all with the Pit a complete mess, a low menacing growl appeared from somewhere and seemed directed towards Lefanis. To his credit, he had after all experienced this first-hand before, the moment the growl started and people around him started screaming like little girls, Lefanis turned and ran without looking back, even pushing people and things behind him to block the advance of the Thing who started howling in dismay as after D'Espana's misfortune, Lefanis was smart enough to plant himself in the middle of people - as an early warning system.
Lefanis - Most likely an agent. Eventhough he leads everyone into stating the statement, it seems like he is just saying a statement himself instead of really meant it.
LOL, I wonder how saying something three separate times makes me not mean it. Anyway, I AM AN Agent. I just work for MI6 and not a foreign agency. If you are a townie, you are an MI6 agent too.
Too lazy for analysis right now, (watching game of thrones :P ), but I'll come back in a while. Meanwhile, I'd like Stabbity to confirm that he doesn't work for any foreign agency, not just the CIA or KGB. There are literally hundreds of agencies to be named, CIA, CHEKA, IMF, ISI... It's better to have a blanket statement.
-
I was so happy with the death of the pesky infiltrator that I had shot after shot of the vodka I got from her room. . . My head's heavy at the moment so I'm unable to give a logical analysis of who is the Thing. . . Those who are considering me as one, I implore you to backup your accusations and don't forget that I have been helping you to get rid of worldly as well as otherworldly threats. VOTE PENCHANT, the silent stalker.
-

As to inactive thing...I hadn't noticed that. I figured it was rp flavor, but D'Espana and Thomasgriff screamed 'at the same time'...so now it does seem like we have two attacks (one failed?). My Penchant vote was mostly a shot in the dark (and to get him to put a little more forward), but if we did have an inactive thing...a 1/2 shot is our best bet. For now I'll take the 1/2 shot unless I'm convinced otherwise.
Unvote: Penchant, Vote: Telrunya
I agree with you partially. We were all trying to get reactions...initially. But some of the things he is doing now, just seems to convince me more that he is the Thing.
I was so happy with the death of the pesky infiltrator that I had shot after shot of the vodka I got from her room. . . My head's heavy at the moment so I'm unable to give a logical analysis of who is the Thing. . . Those who are considering me as one, I implore you to backup your accusations and don't forget that I have been helping you to get rid of worldly as well as otherworldly threats. VOTE PENCHANT, the silent stalker.
Like i said again and again. I am asking you now, are you the Thing?
-
I don't take orders from you, but I'll still say it: "I am not the Thing. I am not working for Foreign Intelligence." Is that okay?
Happy?
-
Good work. We get rid of the Foreign Agent. Let see, my next suspect list is:
VOTE PENCHANT
-
UPDATE
VOTE Cren - Disturbedyang #128, Stabbity #129
VOTE Telrunya - Dishman #130
VOTE Penchant - Cren #132, Ketchum #135
-
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
-
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.
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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

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.

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.
-
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...
-
*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*
-
So, "Abuse...power"...what does that mean? - bodyguard i presume since he managed to fight 4 at the same time? 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 am going to do this until i see Ketchum tells me he is not the thing nor foreign agent. A few guys have been refusing to do this. Like i said, if you refuses because of ego, then you are not helping the good guys.
VOTE: Ketchum
-
OK, D'Espana may (or may not) have been foriegn agent...but we should assume the worst. We have likely lynched a friendly, there is likely another foriegn agent (or more?), and it is likely there are two things. So let me reevaluate my fingers of suspicion and get my thoughts out.
Cren-attempting to help, a few faux-pas' but mostly helpful <low suspicion>
Sonya-KGB
Lefanis-helpful, some leadership (potentially too helpful?) <low suspicion>
Arrandal-mutilated unknown
Telrunya-late-comer, possibly second thing (inactive except for few failed attacks?) <medium-high suspicion>
Stabbity-erratic but sometimes helpful <medium suspicion>
Ketchum-little interaction and potentially evasive <medium-high suspicion>
D'Espana-lynched unknown
Penchant-quiet and evasive <high suspicion>
Thomasgriff-inactive or mute thing? <medium-high suspicion>
Disturbedyang-helpful but sometimes misleading, <low suspicion>
I say a Penchant or Telrunya lynch. I'm open to a Ketchum or Thomasgriff lynch, but beyond those I'll need persuading.
-
I will admit I have been quiet, but when have I been evasive?
-
Agent Ketchum respectfully disagrees with Agent Lefanis and Agent Dishman. See how you lynched the wounded D'Espana and get him killed. Agent Disturbedyang is right about one thing, the infected Thing human host only activate if the real original Thing dies.
I am considering Penchant and Telrunya. See Updated my earlier analysis.
Cren - He posts analysis and helping the Townies/Fellow Agents. Most likely good.
Sonya - KGB
Lefanis - Actively leading the Townies/Fellow Agents. But there is something else
Arrandal - Confirmed Not the Thing
Telrunya - Something is wrong. Disturbedyang saw him online previously and I also saw him online but he no post anything helpful.
Stabbity - His actions are unreadable, maybe Agent Q has reprogrammed him
Ketchum - Not the Thing
Dishman - He posts analysis and helping the Townies/Fellow Agents. Low to Medium good.
D'Espana - Not the Thing and yet you all lynch him.
Penchant - His actions are unreadable, maybe Agent Q has reprogrammed him
Thomasgriff - Not the Thing
Disturbedyang - He posts analysis and helping the Townies. But there is something else
-
[color=green=VOTE STABBITY[/color] Lets see what he have to say.
-
I will admit I have been quiet, but when have I been evasive?
I equate quiet to evasive. So it isn't that you've been directly evasive (as say, Stabbity when asked if he was foreign agent), but that you haven't put enough forward to attack. Granted, there are town-sided reasons to be evasive and quiet (even beyond self-preservation), but guilty parties can use it to more effect.
So a Ketchum and Stabbity vote so far....I lean toward Ketchum, but don't discount Stabbity. I have him pegged as potentially foreign agent rather than thing. Since we've gotten rid of one agent, it'll be more important to go for the thing/s right now.
-

On the other hand, a foreign agent lynch gives us time for more analysis.
Vote Stabbity.
-
Lefanis your last vote worked terribly. I'm not entirely convinced you're not the Thing, prove it by not lynching another townie. However I do believe Ketchum is working against us. However if it makes you feel better, I am not working for foreign intelligence.
VOTE KETCHUM
-
Lefanis your last vote worked terribly. I'm not entirely convinced you're not the Thing, prove it by not lynching another townie.
Yeah, I killed poor D'espana all by my lonesome, no one backed me up at all... Not.
-
You strut around with a banner that reads "Follow me I'm the hero of Thule." Of course people will listen. I did. I regret it.
-
Yes, you are right. Since Disturbedyang keeps pestering me to say this:
I am not working for foreign intelligence.
-
Dishman begins to take copious drinks from his flask, which he openly holds.
Not foreign intelligence, eh? Don't recall a "I am not the thing". It all sounds....thingy. Like a thing that would say things to be...thingy.
Votes: Ketchum
-
Nor the Thing. How about that?
-
Nor the Thing. How about that?
Still too...thingy...for me.
Dishman falls on the ground drunk.
-
Very well then.
UNVOTE: Ketchum. VOTE: Dishman
You trying to get rid of everyone else and even blamed Ketchum but you yourself refuses to say it yourself. So you will get a vote that you have garnered from yourself. (Haha, rhythmic :))
-
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.
-
Through sloppy gestures and slurred words, you find that Agent Dishman references his earlier (very direct) words...
My bad, so that means... UNVOTE: Dishman, VOTE: Stabbity
-
UPDATE
VOTE Ketchum - Stabbity #157, Dishman #161
VOTE Stabbity - Cren #154, Lefanis #156, Disturbedyang #166
-
I have received some information and am convinced.
VOTE STABBITY
-
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.
-
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.
-
So basically, our speech and thought analysts need to get to work, if we are to piece the truth from the lies.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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."
-
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.
-
Vote Dishman You have not been attacked yet. Others haven't either, but they are cleared for other reasons.
-
VOTE 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.
-
There is something not right with you Dishman, and I can feel that. You have been acting rather fishy.. Trusting others then going at their throat and vice versa. Furthermore, I haven't seen any logical explanation from you as why you are not a Thing. . .
-
I am not the Thing because I am neither attacked to have a chance to be infected with the A1N6 virus nor I have gone near the dead Thing we brought to study without protective suits. That leaves me human.. As much human as a MI6 covert operative can be.
-

I fish for responses, which helps te townies, is why I smell fishy. There were a few I trusted, but trust changes with new information. Stabbity, Sonya, and Penchant have been my most stable suspicions and I have not deterred from dat.
As to logically explaininang I am not the thing...I did the behavioralist analisisisis check. Said it out loud and with no room for hedgings. I've put forward analysis, although that is part self preservation to make sure I am not targetted. More talk means less bleedings!

Covert operator, eh? Tis a way to test dat, ya know? Havin an active clear would go a long ways, even though I already think ya clear ya sexy yous. Would you be willing to take a lynch vote to prove your innoosense?

I am going to try to analyze Fury's hints.
But before i start, i think all of us are open to infection. As "Infect" is an order as posted on the first page. Hence i will be wary of you all, still.
On another note, everyone has stated what they needed to. I hope the analysts will scan and come back to us. I will refrain from voting this turn to preserve our number as by lynching, we get a guy in a turn. If the Thing attacks, he needs two.
p/s - i will try to post it after i have my dinner. I am starving now. lolz
-
Deadline 1 - clue on number of...
Analysis - I can find nothing here....
Deadline 2 - clue on shot
D'Espana was heard talking about planting a bomb in someone's donkey. It didn't make sense and everyone thought he was bonkers but it wasn't right the way he was cut up by what seemed to be razor sharp claws. "Where was security?" someone yelled.
There were only one attack...
Anaylsis - So what does planting a bomb in someone's donkey means? I can't relate any character to it. Perhaps a foreign agent? And clue on shot...what shot? There are no shots at that time...
Deadline 3 - clue on number of...
"I am surprised M still hired you as their..." to Ketchum
There were two attacks. Only the one on Ketchum was succesful. The one on D'Espana failed.
Analysis - Sounds to me like a good guy character, as if he is hired by M.
Deadline 4 - clue on different nature...
The only thing i can see during this deadline is this...
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..." to Thomasgriff
Same thing, two attacks. The one on D'Espana failed. But the one on Thomasgriff success. Fury also gave hint to the Thing to attack someone that is less active.
Analysis - It seems that this might mean Thomasgriff is a foreign agent. M or your other boss i believe... is what the hint is trying to tell.
Deadline 5 - the Ghost and the Darkness - the movie...
D'Espana say "... ABUSE ... POWER ...!"
Panting from their exertion, the question now was - did they get the Thing? Or maybe another Foreign Intelligence?
"Guess who I am" drawn in Arrandal's blood right beside him
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.
There were only one attack but an attack that kills Arrandal. Hence i can be quite sure both have found each other and targeted the same guy.
Analysis - what abuse power is he talking about there? hmm.
IMPT NOTE: Arrandal was killed with one attack, hence most likely both Thing attacked him at the same time.
Further confirms now that there are TWO Things! Fury tends to give hints when one side are near to winning. It seems that way because we are unable to find the Things.
Deadline 6 - clue on (eh what?)
"Agent Telrunya, let's play the claw game"
...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...
Analysis - I would like to assume that Telrunya might be a bodyguard. What other objective there is? Or perhaps he is the second thing. If it is true he is the bodyguard, we need him to come forward and tell us who he protected! Because the person that he was trying to protect was probably the Thing! It also says away from the ghost and into the darkness, as if potraying he avoided one but jump straight into another(seems that he chose to protect another Thing)
I went and google and wiki-ed, as that's what Fury likes to do too and found "The ghost and the darkness" as the movie. The movie tells a story about two lions working together to attack and kill a group of people. Initially though, it also said that the group of people thought they killed the lion that were hunting them, but were wrong. Google it to get the full story.
I can't figure a lot of things really....haha. But all i know was that i don't think there are anymore foreign agents left. But there are TWO things left. Somehow the way i know how Fury plays it was that he will give us hints when we are desperate. And it also seems that if we get another one or two wrong ones, we are more or less dead. So i urge all of you to not vote to lynch for another turn. Let the analysts another turn to work themselves out.
All i can tell from all these was Ketchum and Telrunya are good guys - period. But Telrunya, tell us now or we are doomed!
-
As said earlier, I do believe Ketchum is a good guy. I can only agree that Dishman is suspicious. Something is not right there, I bet he's the one I can thank for being in pain now.
VOTE DISHMAN
We'll know tonight.
-
As of now, as I said earlier, Penchant and Dishman are my number one suspects. If I was to vote, it would be one of them. Unfortunately I've had a very busy day and been unable to do any analysis after what I did last night, nor check out the hints from Fury. However, I caution against not voting to lynch. Every day we delay brings us closer to defeat. Keep in mind we are not just dealing with the things, but those who will get infected as well. I'm doing a little catch up, if anything hits my eye before sunset, I'll vote.

DEADLINE 7
VOTE Dishman - Penchant #177, Cren #178, Telrunya #187
VOTE Penchant - Dishman #184
Agent Dishman's sudden drunken behaviour fooled no one. If anything, it made him even more suspicious. Agents Penchant, Cren and even Telrunya stick the muzzles of their Walter PPKs into his belly and fire, causing him to topple over but not like how a normal person would fall over. Instead Dishman sort of tore himself backwards and sprouted alien-looking appendages. As the intrepid trio bend over him to get a closer look, a spurt of goo bursts out of his cavity and cover them with a sickly-greenish substance. Though the darkness has been lifted, in terror, they fled their separate ways.
In another part of the Pit, Agent Lefanis is busy taking a break and cleaning the Walter PPK he took from Agent D'Espana, which explains the extra gun shot on Sonya and Stabbity. "M is sure disappointed with your analysis, Lefanis - all of you", a ghostly whisper suddenly springs up from behind him. True to form, Lefanis does the 100m dash again and the Thing roars in anger as it had thought it had now had enough experience to hunt with free claws. It was close - the Ghost just needed one more successful attack. Lefanis was never in any danger though as a hidden hand with a Walter PPK fired shots from a dark corridor and made the Thing do its ghostly act and disappear.
Dishman is lynched.
Telrunya is still wounded.
-
Thank you to my bodyguard. I guess I'm cleared from being the thing. If you can get in touch with me, we can create a real MI6 group and root out Ghost.
Penchant, Cren, and Telrunya are one of the infected... Glad I didn't join in on that lynch... Loved the prisoners dilemma presented.
-
Ok. I deeply suspect only the lynchers of Dishman could be infected. But to get more data on this, we should all say we aren't infected.
I am not infected.

Yes, i agree. Like i said, there was "infect" as an order. So anyone can be infected even before this happened. Good job guys for lynching Dishman and not following what i said. I wasn't trying to protect him but was trying to protect everyone just before someone comes jumping in. Otherwise, i wouldn't waste so much time analyzing.
Regardless, i think we should rephrase it.
"I am not infected and I did not transform into the Thing." said Disturbedyang.
And also, there is still one of us that is the Thing that are there even before the infections. The question is who. The only one i am suspecting now is, Telrunya. Hence, VOTE: Telrunya.
-
So what did you want to do? Give The Thing another day to attack and infect us? I guess I am no good at this game, but we got one, from your analysis, that sounds good to me. If we didn't kill him now, we had to kill him today. I believe we already said we had double attacks earlier that would disprove me from being the Thing due being away and you have your analysis as well that pointed out I'm a townie. I'm not the Thing, neither have I been infected, I know that much. We can narrow down the infected to Cren or Penchant (From my point of view at least). That leaves us with:
Cren > I think he's a townie, but possibly infected.
Lefanis > Cleared, I believe. Has not been wounded.
Telrunya > Townie, not infected from the lynch.
Ketchum > I believe he's safe. Was wounded once though, but early on.
Penchant > Possibly infected. Might be the Thing, though he lynched the other Thing.
Thomasgriff > Inactive, I think there's little suspicion for him. He's been wounded before though.
Disturbedyang > Got us to the first Thing at least. Has not been wounded.
There was high suspicion towards Penchant already and I narrow down onto him as well. I believe we should VOTE PENCHANT, but I'll check in later to change votes if needed.

UPDATE
VOTE Telrunya - Disturbedyang #192

disembodied laughter echoes
ha...aha...aha ha ha...*hic*...a ha!
<good game all>
-
Gosh, I miss such interesting day... Dishman is the Thing and we got him! 8)
I will do further analysis later.
-
AFAIK, I am not infected, and I am definitely not the thing.
-
UNVOTE: Telrunya
-
I think Disturbedyang is the thing. He has consistently posted up faulty analysis in the early days. Now he comes out with more "analysis" in an attempt to throw the spotlight away from himself.
For days I see that he has been manipulating the "clean agents" group he seemed to be leading. He told me that he mistrusts Ketchum, after saying something else in public. Its a good cover for Dusturbedyang to pretend he is an analyst, that way he can buy more time to live, by "clearing" people he knows aren't the things. The problem now arises, because he has "cleared" so many people, one of them (or him!) has to be the liar. So he has to frame someone, the other analyst perhaps, and say that he is a the masquerader and not him, in case the spotlight goes to him.
Also, he was against the Dishman lynch, when it was obvious he was guilty. WHY? I think because he knew Dishman was the Other thing, and he needed the backup from the other thing temporarily to reduce our numerical edge.
Now he votes Telrunya (and now unvotes) after Penchant privately voices concern about Telrunya. I was pretty certain Penchant was the other baddy, as Disturbedyang has done a good job throwing attention away from himself. But now, I don't know.
Between the two of them, I'm divided.
Going to vote Disturbedyang for now.
-
Also, its a classic wolfie tactic to do a lot of analysis and pretend to be a good guy. I think I want to call Disturbedyangs bluff.
-
I am not exactly sure who is the rampaging thing and who is infected.. But I won't go with Lefanis. Your job is suspicious and you have been slipping away while pointing fingers at others. VOTE LEFANIS.
-
I am not infected and haven't transformed into a thing.

DEADLINE 8
VOTE Penchant - Telrunya #193
VOTE Disturbedyang - Lefanis #199
The votes were tied so with nothing else to do, everyone gathers round former Agent Dishman to study him closer after first making sure he wasn't going to spout any more sickly-green goo. Then Agent Cren comes running in to throw in his vote but it was past the deadline and everyone ignored him.
Looking at Dishman they wondered who he had infected? Just how many had proclaimed they weren't infected? Three persons were looking rather suspiciously pale and ill and turned in to bed early. Could they be the ones? Then again, they were cut off from the rest of the world and it wouldn't be too far off to say that... the air circulation in the Pit wasn't good.
Suddenly, one of the three yelled, "Hey! Did you just bite my BUTT??!!" And another laughed uneasily and replied, "Oh, well, you see... there's really a very interesting story behind it..." and then the voices grow less audible.
The next morning, everyone finds Agent Thomasgriff lying in the loo, half drained of his blood with the words "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" written in blood on the wall.
Telrunya still looks wounded.
Thomasgriff is wounded and cannot be healed.
-
I VOTE LEFANIS. You have acted fishy all along and won't be surprised if you are the Thing.

Going to vote Disturbedyang for now.
I think to have faulty analysis is very pro-town. Which townie can post a sure thing especially in their early days? You tell me. Not posting any at all...that is, suspicious.
You saying that i blamed someone. But did i even lead a vote whatsoever. I was just suspicious. Not accusing someone for sure. And my trusted friends have all been informed - unless they are not so active. And i cleared people with proof. Ironically, you suspected me instead of Ketchum who has posted all the same results. Have you been turned???
And did i oppose Dishman's vote at all? I told you guys i have already scanned him and needed time before it gets processed. We are down to quite a few numbers as you can see, and if we get it wrong, we are more or less doomed. Do you think that's townie or baddie? I did not want to get rid of Telrunya - which might be our bodyguard as stated in my previous analysis based on what you said "faulty analysis". I had to be sure because i know if there's the Thing around, he will jump in to vote as well.
Ketchum - I trusted him. And i don't think he is infected. But to have two analysis while all other characters are of only one person - that's something to be suspicious about. Though, it is an important character, that might be possible. I will update about him after i get the result of my scan ASAP.(Which Fury seems to forgot to send it to me). I need to be sure he is on the good side
Thomasgriff - definitely cleared and inactive
Penchant - I trust him. Don't ask me why, it's just from my experience of playing with him. Unless he is infected of course.
Cren - If he is the bad guy, i'm sure he will jump on me instead of defending me. I was the only one that analyzed the most even during quiet times. Just another note, do you guys think a bad guy would even analyze if all things went quiet? He might as well blend in. I posted for two reasons. I want to get the Thing and I don't want to get attacked. So he seems cleared to me unless he is using me to get rid of Lefanis. Or if he is infected.
Telrunya - Has gone suspiciously into hiding now. I did not suspect him, because based on my previous analysis, he is supposed to be the bodyguard. But he has yet to come clean at all. A good guy will not be keeping it to himself. Is he avoiding the analysis? He was active, mind you. But did not post at all. The most suspicious thing was that he was injured but the Thing chose to get Thomasgriff instead. Why is that? He could be other Thing we were looking for previously if he is and not infected.
Lefanis - I have all sorts of reasons to counter Lefanis with. But I would like to think he might not be the Thing. The time when Dishman got lynched, he was supposedly attacked. The infected won't act that fast because Dishman just got lynched. So Lefanis will never be the other Thing. Unless he is infected of course, which of course will explain the attack on Thomasgriff instead of Telrunya instead. But that's quite an unlikely case. And he told us our character which is on par on the head counts - except we don't know what D'Espana and Stabbity is. As well as Arrandal. But like i said, i need strong proof to throw someone into the pit fire now that our numbers are running low.
Based on my previous analysis - Ketchum and Telrunya are supposed to be cleared, but over here they seems the most suspicious. I will decide again as soon as i get the reply from Fury.
-

I think this confirms one of the lynchers of Dishman is infected. One of them even tried to make a preliminary assault, thinking the infection was complete. The question now is, whose butt was bitten? And who bit the butt?
-
I VOTE LEFANIS. You have acted fishy all along and won't be surprised if you are the Thing.
Bro. That analysis just blew me away. It's epic.
(http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp294/MARITZAMM/Joker-Clapping.gif)
-
But we killed one Thing, yet Lefanis was attacked by the other Thing. That seems to clear Lefanis from being the Thing, unless we have three. But then he's divided between two people to lynch, but he goes for the one that doesn't have a vote yet, failing to set off a lynch last turn while he could have easily seen one of his high suspects lynched. I'll have to recollect my thoughts before I vote.
Actually, I've been getting more active as I can now properly follow the discussions. When I came back, I had about 8 pages to go through.
Also, Cren bit my butt. Why, Cren, why? I likes my butt, don't bite it :(
-
I am not the infected.
Now what? I am super confused.
-
I think to have faulty analysis is very pro-town. Which townie can post a sure thing especially in their early days? You tell me. Not posting any at all...that is, suspicious.
You seem to think that I am asking for all analysis to absolutely 100% name the baddy. Not what I'm saying at all. You can name the wrong person, but the process that led you to that person must be foolproof, like when my analysis led to D'espana who was innocent. Having deliberate faulty analysis is definitely anti town. And this is not the first time I had a problem with your analysis, I mentioned it multiple times before.
Your vote against Telrunya, for instance. Telrunya cannot be the thing, as he was not even active when the ghost was going around killing people. I have further concrete evidence that he is innocent, and I said that I trust him completely as not being the thing (don't know about infection). Yet you vote him, as late as last turn. Now, when you realised no one was bandwagoning, you UNVOTED. Then later you say you aren't sure about anyone, and we shouldn't be voting anyone right now? You just voted yourself, until you released no one was voting with you.
Then, your early vote against Cren (which you led, btw), ironically saying that his disinclination to lynch was anti town. Then you started talking about how behavioural analysts get wrong results if a person didn't mean what he said, which apparently I hadn't when I said "I am not the Thing or foreign Agent". Which is BS. Analysts might be confused by deliberate word slurring, like what Dishman did, but "not meaning it" makes no sense at all.
Also, on the very first turn you cleverly accused me of being the foreign agent, poking Sonya to vote me, when there was no proof whatsoever, trying to plant the idea of me being a baddy in people's heads.
Finally, you were against the Sonya vote, when one of the analysts had confirmed she was a baddy. Furthermore, you were also against Dishman vote, saying you needed time for confirmation. Something doesn't add up here.
You saying that i blamed someone. But did i even lead a vote whatsoever.
You did, against Cren day 3, I think.
I was just suspicious. Not accusing someone for sure. And my trusted friends have all been informed - unless they are not so active. And i cleared people with proof. Ironically, you suspected me instead of Ketchum who has posted all the same results. Have you been turned???
Exactly. It's a very convenient alibi if you are the thing and claim to be the analyst, when you are actually the thing. That way you know who are the good guys, so you can clear them one by one. And the people you clear think you are innocent, because until you tell them they are clear, they are living under a cloud of doubt that anyone will vote them. It reassures people when they realise someone else believes them in this game. You were preying on that fear of being left out. They think of you as their "guardian". Case in point, Cren here who blindly votes with you, and bites Telrunya's ass in the night. And why not Ketchum, you ask? Because you are the one exhibiting baddy tells.
Just another note, do you guys think a bad guy would even analyze if all things went quiet? He might as well blend in.
The best things always do. How better to blend in than to be so conspicuous. It's perfect. Besides, it fits into the Ghost RP. You are in our midst, going around, "clearing people", when you are the bad guy.
-
UNVOTE LEFANIS.. And I didn't bite Telrunya's butt, I stumbled upon him.
-
Lefanis was attacked the night we lynched Dishman. . . By no way he can be the second Thing. I have slight faith on Telrunya that he too is a townie because he was wounded that night. Thomasgriff is out of the question. That leaves me, Penchant, Ketchum and Disturbedyang to be the second Thing. I proved myself by healing Ketchum and D'Espana (which was quite a bad choice because we lynched him thereafter). Ketchum, Penchant or Disturbedyang can be the second Thing.
-
Ok. On Deadline 3, there were 2 attacks. One against me which failed, another against Ketchum, which was a success. If Ketchum was the thing, and was attacked by Dishman, (I am also clarifying if when a Thing attacks another thing whether it results in death of one of them or just a wounding) then Dishman would have known that Ketchum was his rival.
But this is what he had to say right after that assault.
Vote: Sonya
Given my suspicions (which haven't changed drastically), If Lefanis and Ketchum are my most trusted people (and they are voting one of my high suspicions) it seems logical to follow suit.
I think its a very reasonable assumption to clear Ketchum of all suspicion of being the Thing. That clears me, Telrunya, and Ketchum. I also think we can clear Cren of being the Thing, because if he was the Thing, he wouldn't bite Telrunya's ass, he'd do much worse, and certainly not on a day the Thing already made a hunt. So he may be infected, but ain't the thing.
So-
Lefanis is cleared
Cren is cleared
Ketchum is cleared
Telrunya is cleared
-
Lefanis is cleared
Cren is cleared
Ketchum is cleared
Telrunya is cleared
ThomasGriff is cleared
This leaves Penchant and Disturbedyang. IIRC, neither of them have been attacked by the Thing.
-
Holy Queen's €#*...
I'd like to BURN SNOTS BODY. Can it be a coincidence that one of the things been growling all the time? Plus we know the two things have a different nature...
-
Lefanis, i am so tired of explaining to you. Every single turn you try to accuse me and then after i explained it, you accumulates it in the turn after. I will explain it to you one last time and try to reply all your doubts. The thing you have to understand is, there's always two ways of looking at it - but when you try to suspect and ingrain into yourself that that person is a bad guy - which started off on the first day i accused you of being an agent to Sonya, you were aiming at me.
You kept on insisting my analysis are faulty. If like you said, i am the bad guy, and i know everyone else, why would it be faulty? I tried to analyze every single thing, there's always chance of it contradicting, like for instance Telrunya. I did mentioned countless times that he was active the day before that happened - which i did not check the time, it was actually after the turn did happened. I was only looking at the day itself. And i unvoted quite early pardon you. I could always just leave my vote there because i needed only one other vote to get his lynch, why not bang on that? Also, if i would like to get rid of good guys, wouldn't you think the best way is to get the active ones? Furthermore, Telrunya is wounded! The thing needs only one attack to kill him. I must be really stupid then. The sole reason i voted him last turn was simply because i questioned who he protected but did not get his reply. I mentioned before who his protected can be a very good clue to who is the Thing. (Refer to Deadline 6 - he was trying to complete his objective, which i presume is to protect. The only "objective" i can think of)
When i said leading a vote, i am referring to recently. Because now is the critical point. To get the wrong guy means the end or almost...
And to lead them? Cren hasn't been liasing with me for quite some time now. You can ask him if you wants. I even asked him to heal Telrunya, which i do not know why he did not. So is he suspicious? Maybe. Or maybe he has turned? Or maybe he can only turn after the 2nd thing is dead.
"The best things always do. How better to blend in than to be so conspicuous. It's perfect. Besides, it fits into the Ghost RP. You are in our midst, going around, "clearing people", when you are the bad guy. "
And like i said, two sides of the coin. I established a "justice league" because i know townie can never win without doing it. I still am suspicious of everyone because i know Fury's game. Though we needed it. And like you said, me clearing people around. So why they hell am i that freaking stupid to clear everyone and not have a room to accuse anyone if i am the bad guy? I must be really lousy i think in your opinion if i become the bad guy....
Ok. On Deadline 3, there were 2 attacks. One against me which failed, another against Ketchum, which was a success. If Ketchum was the thing, and was attacked by Dishman, (I am also clarifying if when a Thing attacks another thing whether it results in death of one of them or just a wounding) then Dishman would have known that Ketchum was his rival.
But this is what he had to say right after that assault.
I think its a very reasonable assumption to clear Ketchum of all suspicion of being the Thing. That clears me, Telrunya, and Ketchum. I also think we can clear Cren of being the Thing, because if he was the Thing, he wouldn't bite Telrunya's ass, he'd do much worse, and certainly not on a day the Thing already made a hunt. So he may be infected, but ain't the thing.
So-
Lefanis is cleared
Cren is cleared
Ketchum is cleared
Telrunya is cleared
I do not understand how that clears Ketchum. Because if you read my analysis, i did mentioned Fury gave us the hint that they work together. That actually means that Ketchum is VERY LIKELY to be the other Thing. And i have told everyone i suspected you and i was trying to find out. But thanks to you, i can't do it as discretely now. I did get my result finally, but i got the wrong one unfortunately. I sent the post #153(because i was also in a rush) and i got this result.
Oops :-[
He is not saying he isn't the Thing. He is listing out people and their possible non-roles. You will need a post where he states it clearly.
The oops because Fury forgot to send me the result. And i had to pester Ketchum to say it. And if you look at post #160 and #162. It was on separate posts. I can't analyze that. And recently, he was quite strategic in saying he is not infected. And that's it. So there was no way i can analyze him. Moreover i did mentioned in my PMs with the others about how his results seem to be the same and on the guy that were already lynched or killed. I also questioned that will Fury give us two analysts? Maybe...maybe not. That was why i needed time to be sure.
And on Dishman, i just wanted to be sure. I told the rest of the guys i wanted to scan him before making the decision. As a matter of the fact, Ketchum said he will scan Dishman before Deadline 6. Which he conveniently "forgot" or went inactive. Until we lynched him, and then he came up with the result. Hence, the reason why i needed time to scan Dishman in the first place.
I think Penchant is clean. And so are you Lefanis - based on the pure fact you were attacked. Otherwise, i would had suspected your aggressive play like during the Angel's and something game..
And Cren, if it is true you said who you are, maybe you should start playing your role instead of biting Telrunya's ass.
I don't care what happened, if you guys want to lynch me after all this explanation or what. But get Ketchum next. Penchant is clear, i am sure for that - like i said unless he is infected.
VOTE: KETCHUM
-
I do not understand how that clears Ketchum. Because if you read my analysis, i did mentioned Fury gave us the hint that they work together. That actually means that Ketchum is VERY LIKELY to be the other Thing. And i have told everyone i suspected him and i was trying to find out. But thanks to you, i can't do it as discretely now. I did get my result finally, but i got the wrong one unfortunately. I sent the post #153(because i was also in a rush) and i got this result.
Since i can't edit the post. Prone to lots of errors cause i just came back and very tired.
-
As to logically explaininang I am not the thing...I did the behavioralist analisisisis check. Said it out loud and with no room for hedgings. I've put forward analysis, although that is part self preservation to make sure I am not targetted. More talk means less bleedings!
And on another note, that might just be pure coincidence, or might be what they told each other - to tell others they are analysis. Dishman said he was, and i actually sent him a PM to ask for the reports. Somehow Ketchum might be the one who suggested if he is the Thing, because he was filled with reports when he approached us. Yes, that puts me into perspective too. Like i said, I provided my analysis. If i do get lynch, i am a willing sacrifice to get the 2nd thing.
-
How I know Sonya is the Highly Suspected? See her forum post that I analyse ;D
From there, I deduce that she is lying that our task is to kill the Thing when in fact, she want to protect the Thing.
My role is Behavioural Analyst.
Scans a person's speech (thread post) and analyzes it (truths, lies, fears, motives, etc).
She is not telling the truth about the last part.
Lefanis is good guy. I checked my scan results on him 2 times to confirm it.
These below are my scan results on Lefanis. Coupled with the recent attack on him, he was as good as cleared to me.
He speaks as though it is the truth. There could be something else.
He speaks as though it is the truth. There could be something else.
This forum post below is Lefanis reaction from Dishman forum post, I thank you for that.
I am sorry Ketchum for leaking it out to everyone but it will serve as a proof that you are a townie.
Ketchum has posted good analysis and correctly deduced that Sonya and Dishman were bad guys.
-
So it becomes:
Lefanis- Clear
Cren- Clear
Ketchum- Clear
Disturbedyang- High Suspicion
Penchant- High Suspicion
Telrunya- Suspected
As such, I VOTE DISTURBEDYANG.
And I am not healing Telrunya because he still is suspicious and I don't want a fully healed Thing running around. I already got the return of being nice from D'Espana.
-
I am sorry Ketchum for leaking it out to everyone but it will serve as a proof that you are a townie.
Ketchum has posted good analysis and correctly deduced that Sonya and Dishman were bad guys.
Cren - i got the same message just in case you haven't realized it. The question is, when did he sent you those? After or before Sonya and Dishman were lynched. That was the question there. And noticed the results? It's all the same. "He speaks as though it is the truth. There could be something else."
This is what i got for Dishman's scan from him.
Hi guys. Sorry, I was away whole day yesterday. I scanned Dishman as suggested by Disturbedyang earlier last 2 days.
Last night I did not put in my scan.
I will try my best to scan this weekend. Any idea who to scan?
He not speaks as though it is the truth. There is something else.
His earlier post is not there and missing in Forum post no.84 that he referenced. I suspect him is the Thing.
And yes, i got this yesterday which is way after Dishman was lynched.
With Dishman slurring his words every which way, there is no way to analyze it.
That was what i got from Fury's reply on Dishman's scan.
And Cren - i told you previously why you should heal Telrunya. Firstly, he might be a bodyguard. Secondly, Being healed saves him from the Thing at least for another attack. Because if he gets lynched, it's irregardless of his status. Not saving him...now that doesn't make sense. Because the heal actually helps townie. If you are really the medic like you said, perhaps he should be healed next turn regardless of what happen this turn. Otherwise, guys, pay heed to Cren as well.
I am tired of explaining. You guys chose to expel whatever analysis AND scan results i posted and PMed. And Cren uses Ketchum one instead. So like i said, i will leave it to you guys. Just do the right thing, or i will come back at the end of the game and say - i told you so. And Lefanis, if i see you in real life, i will even give you a punch for giving me such a hard time to explain.(Just kidding :p) Regardless, i did what i have to do and i did my best. Good luck.
-
And Lefanis, think of this. Why would i try to clear you off when Cren accuses you initially? Like i said over and over again, you guys are looking at only one side of the coin and you guys chose the bad one.
Okay, i should stop spamming now.
-
UPDATE
VOTE Ketchum - Disturbedyang #216
VOTE Disturbedyang - Cren #220
-
Cren, no problem. Sooner or later everyone will know.
VOTE DISTURBEDYANG
-
Penchant and Disturbedyang were my prime suspects earlier. I'm still not sure on why we chose to sit out a lynching last night, but I sure don't want to miss another one. And I know Lefanis is at least not the Thing. I'm left confused and I'm far from sure, but I have to go with my earlier instincts.
VOTE DISTURBEDYANG
I can only pray I'm in the right direction. If you're a townie, at least we'll be able to deduct a lot from that.
Healing is no danger as long as there is just one Thing left, I believe. It will just prevent the Thing from killing me.
-
Good luck guys! :) Please analyze my post when i am lynched. Perhaps i typed too long, you guys didn't actually read most of it. Wasted my time. Doh. I am gonna be quiet next game....

DEADLINE 9
VOTE Ketchum - Disturbedyang #216
VOTE Disturbedyang - Cren #220, Ketchum #224, Telrunya #225
Agents Cren, Ketchum and Telrunya wouldn't listen to Agent Disturbedyang. They came after him with murder in their eyes and finished him off... but there was no transformation. In horror, they silently skulked away in shame at what they had done.
Meanwhile, Agent Lefanis was busy burning Snot's body or what was left of it. Before he burnt it, though, he had reassembled it and came to the conclusion that there were no missing pieces.
Everyone gathered around for a discussion and a check on the remaining survivors:
Cren
Lefanis
Telrunya
Ketchum
Penchant
Thomasgriff
Half of them were now gone. Several theories had been proposed. How many of them were debunked and how many of them were left to be checked? Have they now ruled everyone out? If so, what then? A wise literary character once said that once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. The question was, what do they have remaining or have they missed something? Upon that thought they turned in for the night.
.... and in the night, the Thing struck again. "We have much to discuss Agent Penchant. To the Ghost and the Darkness we go", it whispered as it left Penchant for dead. Or so it thought.
One thing was certain - the Thing had all their routines and hideout down to memory. It was free to attack anyone and no one - was safe anymore.
Penchant is wounded.
Disturbedyang is lynched.
Telrunya still looks wounded.
Thomasgriff is wounded and cannot be healed.
-
Holy cow! I would need a full bottle to sleep tonight!
So.. It comes to this:
Cren- Not the Thing
Lefanis- Not the Thing
Penchant- Not the Thing
Ketchum- ???
Telrunya- Suspected.
-
Penchant may be infected and Telrunya might be the Thing. Lefanis, Ketchum.. Are you with me?
I AM NOT INFECTED. I'll prove this by healing Thomasgriff. Lets destroy this abomination once and for all!
-
Oh.. And to prove my point.
Can infect ONE human upon its death who then turns into The Thing (will NOT have any human abilities). Infected humans cannot infect others.
-
Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Vote Fury ?!??

Penchant may be infected and Telrunya might be the Thing. Lefanis, Ketchum.. Are you with me?
I AM NOT INFECTED. I'll prove this by healing Thomasgriff. Lets destroy this abomination once and for all!
I trust you Cren. But the part about you healing Thomasgriff, your heal will not work if the update is anything to go by.
Thomasgriff is wounded and cannot be healed.
-
UPDATE
Once again the survivors gather round to discuss their survival options. It was clear that there were three things they needed to do.
1
Clear Cren as the 2nd Thing
Clear Lefanis as the 2nd Thing
Clear Telrunya as the 2nd Thing
Clear Ketchum as the 2nd Thing
Clear Penchant as the 2nd Thing
Clear Thomasgriff as the 2nd Thing
2
Clear Cren as the 1st Infected
Clear Lefanis as the 1st Infected
Clear Telrunya as the 1st Infected
Clear Ketchum as the 1st Infected
Clear Penchant as the 1st Infected
Clear Thomasgriff as the 1st Infected
3
Once and if they lynched the 2nd Thing:
Clear the remaining survivors as the 2nd Infected
It might also be a good idea to go back to the basics of investigations - motives, opportunities, threats, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Additionally, through a series of knocking on pipes in Morse code, communications had been established with MI6 Control! While they were still some days on digging through to them (there were 100 levels between them after all), there were some good news as the survivors reported back the events thus far, Control had managed to confirm the identities of the KGB Agent (Sonya) and the Mossad Agent (Stabbity).
The question remained, would MI6 defeat the Thing and prove to the world once and for all that it was the best secret Intelligence in the world or would they also be overcome by the terror from beyond the world, now in its fourth incarnation? One thing was for sure: The Agents had better step it up...
...and no, voting Fury or dead people wasn't it. ;D

UNVOTE FURY
VOTE KETCHUM
-
Here you go, Agent Lefanis.
VOTE LEFANIS
-
OMGUS vote? Very professional, Ketchum.
-
You do not have any analysis to it when you voting. Figure I give you the same.
UNVOTE LEFANIS
I have main suspect on Penchant and Telrunya. Will post my analysis, it may be very long to read.
-
Currently having problems with my ISP - it can't connect to BM ??? I have to connect through an online proxy which doesn't let me reply to PMs so I'm replying all the PMs here:
The 2nd Thing is free to attack anyone and was free since the last attack.
The 1st Infected will need 3 successful inactive attacks first.
Infected will not lose human ability UNTIL he turns into the infected Thing.
Attacks are not kills - people still need to be wounded first before being killed.
Lynching someone kills right away.
The Thing, like everyone else can have and has only ONE role - if it's the Thing then it's the Thing and nothing else.
-
Since we have reach the critical stage. Here you go, all my scan results and the posts.
I recall GM Fury very interested to make all scanners powers, fairly distribute across all players. So my one scan result on a player is not enough, that why I tried scanned one player at least 2 times.
How I know Sonya is the Highly Suspected? See her forum post that I analyse ;D
From there, I deduce that she is lying that our task is to kill the Thing when in fact, she want to protect the Thing.
My role is Behavioural Analyst.
Scans a person's speech (thread post) and analyzes it (truths, lies, fears, motives, etc).
She is not telling the truth about the last part.
This is the most idiotic Sentence EVER some one could say!
You talk about random things (Front A to D, i got against somethings (A and B~) and you vote me because i an against C and D?
NO!
Our task is not to bring the thing under control, out task NOW is to kill the Thing, We win if the Thing Dies! I win if the Thing die, and i want the Thing to die.
And you jumped and Vote me, what are you scare of? I m not accusing you, i am just simply talking to you, why are you so defensive?
He speaks as though it is the truth. There could be something else.
Uhh, I caught the Thing in Thule and brought it here for further investigation. Our task is to bring the escaped Thing back into our control, and keep it from the KGB/CIA, who are also the bad guys, which I think you know.
And I'm voting you because you got jumpy about the foreign agents bit, so you may be one of the foreign agents.
He speaks as though it is the truth. There could be something else.
This forum post below is Lefanis reaction from Dishman forum post, I thank you for that.
That's twice you mention this. I am sure the analysts can analyse what I said earlier, but since its not enough for you, I'll go again-
"I am not the Thing, nor am I working for a foreign intelligence agency."
My scan on Disturbedyang.
He telling the truth. He has fear, maybe for his life.
First up, medic, please start doing your job. You can heal people that are wounded here!
And I am NOT the Thing, nor i am working for any foreign intelligence. And i swear by those words.
Cren-if u are saying it for the sake of saying it, it doesn't make a difference.
Sonya sort of gave me the feeling that, "Oh, these guys are fighting among themselves, i should stay out of it." - something that happens when you are the bad guy. At least that's my opinion for now unless you can change that.
Cren - what do you even mean by spreading the infection? Your excuse on Dishman was irrelevant at all. And somehow, posting at the end that you suspects someone else without analysis whatsoever. Sounds to me like you are trying to get one after the other with lynch and killing them. Something makes me think Fury will give you the main character after coming back from a long off. It seems that you were pretty "famous" despite that i haven't played with you before.
For now, i will try to see what sonya has to say...
I was about to post this...until Cren posted his. And i went back and analyse something.
Arrandal and Thomasgriff was inactive for the past few days. But not Telrunya. It's either he is working on the background, or he is the Thing.
VOTE: Telrunya
I also asked GM some questions today for more confirmation.
1) Seeing the latest Update. Can the Thing attack anyone especially the talkative ones and kill them now? No more wounded?
It was free to attack anyone and no one - was safe anymore.
2) Will an infected human lost his human abilities? That infected human will not turn into the Thing just yet.
Can infect ONE human upon its death who then turns into The Thing (will NOT have any human abilities). Infected humans cannot infect others.

Lefanis- Black ops
Cren- Medic?
Ketchum- Analyst?
Telrunya- Bodyguard
Penchant- analyst?
ThomasGriff- ???
Another possibility is that ThomasGriff is under thrall of the thing (GM). But then why would he attack himself on deadline 8...
My vote against you, Ketchum, is based on Disturbedyangs last suspicions before his death. I also want proof that Cren is the medic.
-
Also, Cren did not heal Telrunya at night? WHY?

I understand your vote then. I hope for our sake, you are not the last Foreign Intelligent Agent recruited by the dead Foreign Agents.
How did you know Telrunya is Bodyguard? If you are Foreign Agent recruited, most likely you want the Thing alive, not dead. Analyst want the Thing dead, Medic want the Thing dead >:(
You still want proof that Cren is medic? So far into the game stage and you still questioning his credential? No other Medic has step up so far. Who is the Medic that heal D'Espana(before some of you decide lynch him the same day) and me? ???
Also, Cren did not heal Telrunya at night? WHY?
I think Cren below post explain why he does not want heal Telrunya.
So it becomes:
Lefanis- Clear
Cren- Clear
Ketchum- Clear
Disturbedyang- High Suspicion
Penchant- High Suspicion
Telrunya- Suspected
As such, I VOTE DISTURBEDYANG.
And I am not healing Telrunya because he still is suspicious and I don't want a fully healed Thing running around. I already got the return of being nice from D'Espana.
-
I understand your vote then. I hope for our sake, you are not the last Foreign Intelligent Agent recruited by the dead Foreign Agents.
I vote killed both of them. ;)
How did you know Telrunya is Bodyguard?
He protected me.
-
I think Cren below post explain why he does not want heal Telrunya.
As was pointed out, it doesn't matter, even if Telrunya was thing, as healed thing hasn't advantage over wounded thing. On the other hand, if he is human, then it prevents him from being instantly killed next hunt.
-
I vote killed both of them. ;)
He protected me.
Good to know that. I still suspected Penchant and Telrunya. Disturbedyang says earlier that he too suspects Telrunya as he online but he not posting here. And do not forget, Agent Lefanis. You are the one who posted that the wounded Thing still can hunt. I also clarify the same with our GM.
We should start by scan everyone at least 2 times to clear them up. That what Analyst for. Now what? Seriously this game has been giving me as much headache as the last few Things games. Is there any way to clear them or clear us all? :o
-
Also, Ketchum, I don't see ANY behavioural analysis you sent after 18 March. What's up with that? Plus, why don't I see scans from past four days? Wy have to been giving them late, like the he of a Dishpan, days after his lynching?
-
You are the one who posted that the wounded Thing still can hunt. I also clarify the same with our GM.
Exactly, so it wouldn't have mattered if Cren had healed Telrunya even if Telrunya was the Thing. But if Telrunya was a townie, it only helps us.

Do not forget, I got PM you and some of us here that I am inactive abit during weekend.
Besides, if we scan the earlier posts from before 18 March. There are a lot of information there posted and for analysis. How conveniently you ignore my PM to you and others.
Exactly, so it wouldn't have mattered if Cren had healed Telrunya even if Telrunya was the Thing. But if Telrunya was a townie, it only helps us.
Yes, you are right. It helps us. After you kill me, who next? Cren? Penchant? If I do not know you, you could be the active Thing we are looking for. That is why you conveniently trying to kill all the scanners. Then you can play us against each other.
What is your Role? Black Ops? You are Black Operator?? ???
The one who could be good or bad guy... Hmm, seriously I need look back and do more analysis.
Black Operator
- can remove the LAST vote cast every time. Can indirectly attack ONE person if lynched.
-
Aye, I protected Lefanis. As he was attacked when the first Thing died, I believe he's our best shot at being a townie. How can he be the Thing? I'm still collecting my thoughts a times, so I don't have much to add yet. I had to do some catch-up on missed days as well.
Disturbedyang believed Ketchum is the second Thing.
From my perspective, I can tell Cren or Penchant is the first Thing. I found Penchant suspicious from before already, he might be the second Thing as well (Leaving Cren to be the First Thing). Cren also bit me (Yes, I won't let that go! ;)), as if I wasn't wounded enough already.
Cren claims to be medic, but he can't prove that if he tries to heal Thomasgriff. He can heal me though.

But Penchant was assaulted tonight.
-
That would clear Penchant then indeed, assuming there were no two Things last night and one failed an attack (But I assume we would have known about that just like when I protected Lefanis, so I don't think thats the case)
-
But Penchant was assaulted tonight.
Hmm, GM got clarify that Thing can wound itself and still able to hunt that night. OMG! :o
If we have a look at the wounded, D'Espana(wounded, healed and lynched), me(previously wounded but healed), Penchant(just wounded) and Thomasgriff(still wounded) are cleared.
What role is Thomasgriff anyway? ???
-
I had already healed Thomasgriff, thats a pity. Since Penchant is cleared of being the Thing (can be infected), I'll heal him.
If you want an explanation why I am not healing Telrunya, I want you to remember the day we lynched D'Espana. He fought five of us alone for a brief time.. His strength gives a proof that he was the bodyguard.
Lefanis, did you CLEARLY saw with YOUR eyes that Telrunya protected you from the Thing?
-
Activity is reset after every deadline. If no one is inactive then we go for the least active.
-
Activity is reset after every deadline. If no one is inactive then we go for the least active.
For what?
-
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...
That doesn't sound like he is one of the things.
-
The 1st Infected will need 3 successful inactive attacks first.
I figure it refers to that.
D'Espana was already dead when Lefanis was protected, I think that rules things out. Disturbedyang's analysis was also correct in the sense that I protected the Thing that turn, it's why Dishman got lynched.
-
OK.
Here is what I suggest we do. Every time one of you posts, I get even more suspicious.
So I think we should work on two theories. My first theory is that Fury is subbing for inactive ThomasGriff, after he realised after first deadline that he was away.
Look at the RPs-
The next morning, everyone finds Agent Thomasgriff lying in the loo, half drained of his blood with the words "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" written in blood on the wall.
This is deadline 8. So my assumption is that he wounded himself, to throw us off track for few more days. The other referred to might be the new infected 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.
This one suggests the thing was in the inactive hideout... Plus, it was the ghost thing, which suggests the character was inactive.
At the same time, another voice started screaming in the dark. Agent Thomasgriff had finally appeared and he collapsed in the main hall where people could see that something had scraped the following unfinished sentence into the back of his head:
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..."
Other... Boss? Puppetmaster?
Let us all vote ThomasGriff, usually Fury pulls a little trick like this. We know it isn't a dead person, we know its one of us alive. He is the only one we have let off for being inactive.
My second theory is to catch the infected, or if my first theory is wrong.
I call on Cren to heal Penchant or Telrunya. Then I can buy his story that he isn't the thing, or if he is infected, it hasn't set in yet.
I call on Telrunya to openly say these exact words- "I am not the Thing or the infected"
I call on Ketchum to scan Telrunya when he says them.
I myself shall remove the last vote against Thomasgriff to prove I'm the black ops.
I call on Penchant to scan Ketchums thoughts.
If anyone doesn't do it, we lynch them tomorrow. This way, we know who can be cleared for sure.
UNVOTE KETCHUM
VOTE THOMASGRIFF
-
Since we know that a person can have only one role, this should clear everything up and prove who is who.
-
Hmm, GM got clarify that Thing can wound itself and still able to hunt that night. OMG! :o
If we have a look at the wounded, D'Espana(wounded, healed and lynched), me(previously wounded but healed), Penchant(just wounded) and Thomasgriff(still wounded) are cleared.
What role is Thomasgriff anyway? ???
The first part is a good find, but I don't see how it connects to what you say next. I ask that you follow my lead and vote Thomasgriff.
-
VOTE THOMASGRIFF
I am going with you to prove that I am the Medic and not infected. So going to heal Telrunya. Hope that I won't have to regret my decision.
-
Since inactivity is reset after every deadline, if there are 2 inactive then both can be successfully attacked. If all are active, then the one that can be successfully attacked is the one that posts the least.
Covert Operator works by scanning someone and GM will check that someone for any PMs to GM (which are considered talking aloud to oneself).
-
Sounds like a plan to me. We should be able to narrow down who it is like that. I have no better options right now, as it will clear things up.
VOTE THOMASGRIFF
"I am not the Thing or the infected"
I missed Penchant was wounded as well, so Cren, I suggest you heal up Penchant if you can to prove your innocence.

DEADLINE 10VOTE Thomasgriff - Lefanis #258, Cren #261,
Telrunya #263The death of Disturbedyang sparked the most intense discussion yet. The mood was grim. Agent Cren was the first to speak up and seemed to be rather keen to prove his innocence. At one point Agent Lefanis who had been consistently coherent even started saying gems like:
Wy have to been giving them late, like the he of a Dishpan, days after his lynching?
Agent Ketchum wanted to scan everyone twice. Agent Telrunya proclaimed his innocence. Agents Penchant and Thomasgriff just sat silently. In the end, Cren and Telrunya followed Lefanis' lead and confronted Thomasgriff until it was pointed out that Telrunya's vote was suspiciously missing and so he had to sit down again.
Thomasgriff got up and slowly back away from the two until suddenly he stopped, grinned and held out his hands and said, "All right, I give up. Here, take me in", as he offered his hands and in the next instant, two spring-loaded guns popped out from his sleeves into his hands as he points each one at Lefanis and Cren.
"Do you like these beauties, old boy?" he laughed out loud. "They're the latest things from Q." Now, which one shall I shoot? The first or the second? Or... how about we let
Fate decide?" his grinned widened. As both Lefanis and Cren yell out loud they rush him and he fires BOTH guns at them and the loud CLICKS were the last thing that the two would ever hear... and that was it. The guns were empty because Thomasgriff's mind was never here - only his body. Years in the Pit had seen to that. He had no interest in capturing or killing the Thing but they weren't taking chances.
Two shots to his head put him out of his misery but after careful observation, no transformation occured. Everyone had concentrated on the little drama but as they got back to their table, Penchant was missing! No one knew when he had quietly slipped out. They hurriedly mounted a search rescue and didn't have to go far. On a nearby floor, they found him with his face looking like what happens when it meets a plunger - a giant tentacle sucking plunger. This time, there were no funny messages. It was a different modus operandi. The Darkness had been reborn. And now, they were down to the semi-finals of survival...
Thomasgriff is lynched.
Telrunya still looks wounded.
Penchant is attacked and killed.

Actually, I think we can mostly piece everything together and save ourselves at the brink:
Lefanis is a confirmed Townie.
I'm a Townie. I wish Ketchum could confirm that, if he actually was capable of analysing me.
Cren is the Infected Thing. It is why he actually didn't heal anyone, I guess.
Ketchum must be the Second Thing, able to attack anyone.
-
Must be my ISP. It happens like once a year. ::)
GM NOTE
To state it clearly since it's not in the rules, posting alleged emails/PMs/RPs doesn't clear anyone of anything.
-
We didn't have a second attack. Why? Can't have been penchant, his body looked human.
-
Maybe they both went for Penchant?
-
It turns out:
Cren- Medic
Lefanis- Black Operator
Ketchum- Second Thing (The Ghost)
Telrunya- First Infected Thing (The Darkness)
In which way should we lynch them Lefanis?

UPDATE
VOTE Ketchum - Lefanis #279
VOTE Lefanis - Cren #280
It was a critical time. The closer it got to the end, the higher the distrust. One wrong move and it would be all over. Apparently, everyone had been cleared - or had they? If not, how could they have gotten by all this while? The clock was ticking. Who was human and who was not? The current kill score was:
Lynches - 6
Attacks - 2
The Ghost and the Darkness killed Arrandal
The Darkness killed Penchant
The Ghost - 1
The Darkness - 2
In their innate desire to survive and stay hidden, the Things might not even have considered what would happen once shove came to push or in their case, once nip came to rip. There was now pressure on both sides - human and alien. Would cross-species deals be made? Did they even know who to make it with? The questions were mind-boggling. One thing was for sure, the Ghost and the Darkness NEVER KNEW and even now do NOT know who their counterparts were in human form!!!
The deadline was fast approaching. What happens in the semi-final would determine the final result. It was time for some serious reflection. Who had the advantage? Who had the disadvantage? Even if they survived till the final, could they win? Was there enough time? The calculations were giddying. At this stage, could anyone be convinced of anything???
The MI6 Agents were fast running out of options!!
-
Here's something for fun and to gauge if we actually have spectators watching this. ;D
A poll has been added for most valuable player. It's at the top of the thread (any page) and will run for ONE day. You can choose up to 3 persons and can change your vote anytime. The results will only be visible once the poll has expired. I will add the winner in the final deadline RP.
-
Q&A
Penchant was only attacked by the Darkness. If two Things attack one person it will be in the Deadline RP like in Deadline 5 where you can also see two Things in the picture which means... I made a mistake and the Darkness now has 2 kills and the Ghost 1 kill!
The game will run until there are no more moves to be made then whoever remains, GM will make the final calculations for the winner(s).

There were less than 12 hours till deadline. Agents Lefanis and Cren targetted Agent Telrunya. A simple matter of survival or was there something behind the scenes? Neither was telling... Agent Ketchum kept his peace. A tell or was he planning something? No matter what, who ever was targetted for lynching would have to pull out all the stops to survive... The scene was set and the clock was ticking.

Fury did say we had to go for the improbable, no matter how improbable it was. I guess the Thing did attack itself to cause a ruse.

DEADLINE 11
VOTE Telrunya - Lefanis #285, Cren #286
VOTE Lefanis - Telrunya #289
While they didn't admit to it, it was highly suspected that Agents Lefanis and Cren used underhanded means to gain the advantage. Nothing wrong there, when it came to survival it was kill or be killed. Lefanis claimed to be the Black Operator and presumably used his skills to hack into the CCTV feed to find out who was active and who wasn't and made his decisions from there. Cren who claimed to be the Medic used his presumably medically-implanted cybernetic enhancements to project supposedly recorded data of his observation as proof of his role. Both were suspected to have formed an alliance and their target was... Agent Telrunya who cut a forlorn figure with no support and gave a half-hearted attempt at reasoning his way out. In the meantime, where was Agent Ketchum?
With glee and confidence that they had gotten something right, Lefanis and Cren approach Telrunya, waving the voting box in his face. They drew the votes one by one and read the names out loud.
Unbeknownst to everyone - or perhaps almost everyone, a hidden hand had stealthily removed the last vote cast. With a smirk on his face, Lefanis said in a playful voice, "Oh that's funny. Your vote's not here, Telrunya", to which Telrunya replied, "Well, that's because I unvoted and took it out at the last minute."
There was dead silence. That meant... that the last vote cast... which the hidden hand had removed... was... Cren's. oh !@#$. In a flash Lefanis and Telrunya drew their fire-piece and pointed it at each other in a face-off but as the rules of the voting requirements were not met (a minimum of two votes was needed for a lynch) they just stood there until everyone got bored and went to bed.
And in the night, Cren was heard screaming like a little girl saying "Oh please please stop I won't do it again I promise! I've been a bad boy I know I know Don't bite it OFF nNnOOOO!!! OMG!!!"
Coincidentally, Ketchum was later found wounded as well.

My Analysis: There is number 6 in MI6. Cannot be 6 Things running around, that is not right. "A few" meaning I search from Google is either 2 or 3. The clue here means 2 or 3 Things running around.
Disturbedyang: No Analysis.
=====
Deadline 2 - clue on shot
The only statements that I am on.
"Agent Lefanis was moaning in a corner that he lived to die another day while Agent Sonya dared him to repeat some comment made before the explosion and immediately Lefanis voted to have her lynched but he didn't meet the minimum requirement. Then they started arguing. Apparently, there was still residual sparks from the blast"
"D'Espana was heard talking about planting a bomb in someone's donkey."
My Analysis: There is no shot fired by any MI6 agent. The only thing here is the blast and the bomb. Looking back at Disturbedyang analysis, he gets the blast part correctly. Foreign Agent huh? Either one or two Foreign Agents among Agent Lefanis and Agent Sonya.
Disturbedyang Analysis: Anaylsis - So what does planting a bomb in someone's donkey means? I can't relate any character to it. Perhaps a foreign agent? And clue on shot...what shot? There are no shots at that time...
=====
Deadline 3 - clue on number of
My Analysis: Two attacks. One failed attack on Agent Lefanis, he managed to run away. And one successful attack on me, wounded me for the first time.
Disturbedyang Analysis:
"I am surprised M still hired you as their..." to Ketchum
There were two attacks. Only the one on Ketchum was succesful. The one on D'Espana failed.
Analysis - Sounds to me like a good guy character, as if he is hired by M.
=====
Deadline 4 - clue on different nature
Statement I am on.
At the same time, another voice started screaming in the dark. Agent Thomasgriff had finally appeared and he collapsed in the main hall where people could see that something had scraped the following unfinished sentence into the back of his head:
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..."
My Analysis:
Two natures with the "or" word used. At this point, we yet to determine Thomasgriff role as Bodyguard which we knew later on. Nature? The Thing victim screaming, hmm.
Disturbedyang Analysis:
The only thing i can see during this deadline is this...
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..." to Thomasgriff
Same thing, two attacks. The one on D'Espana failed. But the one on Thomasgriff success. Fury also gave hint to the Thing to attack someone that is less active.
Analysis - It seems that this might mean Thomasgriff is a foreign agent. M or your other boss i believe... is what the hint is trying to tell.
-
Deadline 5 - the Ghost and the Darkness
The statement I am on.
"there was now real fear in the Pit as it seemed the Ghost and the Darkness were unstoppable."
My Analysis:
I look back at Disturbedyang Analysis. He is not far from the truth. Ghost and Darkness, the movie. So there is 2 Things running around: One is called Ghost, another is called Darkness. Looking through Disturbedyang analysis, at this point the 2 Things did find each other and target same person. That is why Arrandal is killed.
Disturbedyang Analysis:
Deadline 5 - the Ghost and the Darkness - the movie...
D'Espana say "... ABUSE ... POWER ...!"
Panting from their exertion, the question now was - did they get the Thing? Or maybe another Foreign Intelligence?
"Guess who I am" drawn in Arrandal's blood right beside him
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.
There were only one attack but an attack that kills Arrandal. Hence i can be quite sure both have found each other and targeted the same guy.
Analysis - what abuse power is he talking about there? hmm.
IMPT NOTE: Arrandal was killed with one attack, hence most likely both Thing attacked him at the same time.
Further confirms now that there are TWO Things! Fury tends to give hints when one side are near to winning. It seems that way because we are unable to find the Things.
-
Deadline 6 - clue on (eh what?)
Statement I am on.
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...
My Analysis:
Telrunya is the Bodyguard, that explains "he had to complete his objective". As Bodyguard, he can escape one time from the Thing, that explains "Away from the Ghost". Telrunya escape from the first Thing. But not the second Thing attack which wounded him for the first time, that explains "and into the Darkness".
Disturbedyang Analysis:
"Agent Telrunya, let's play the claw game"
...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...
Analysis - I would like to assume that Telrunya might be a bodyguard. What other objective there is? Or perhaps he is the second thing. If it is true he is the bodyguard, we need him to come forward and tell us who he protected! Because the person that he was trying to protect was probably the Thing! It also says away from the ghost and into the darkness, as if potraying he avoided one but jump straight into another(seems that he chose to protect another Thing)
I went and google and wiki-ed, as that's what Fury likes to do too and found "The ghost and the darkness" as the movie. The movie tells a story about two lions working together to attack and kill a group of people. Initially though, it also said that the group of people thought they killed the lion that were hunting them, but were wrong. Google it to get the full story.
I can't figure a lot of things really....haha. But all i know was that i don't think there are anymore foreign agents left. But there are TWO things left. Somehow the way i know how Fury plays it was that he will give us hints when we are desperate. And it also seems that if we get another one or two wrong ones, we are more or less dead. So i urge all of you to not vote to lynch for another turn. Let the analysts another turn to work themselves out.
All i can tell from all these was Ketchum and Telrunya are good guys - period. But Telrunya, tell us now or we are doomed!
-
Deadline 7 - No more clue given
Dishman the first Thing is lynched and we start the day. Statement I am on.
"M is sure disappointed with your analysis, Lefanis - all of you", a ghostly whisper suddenly springs up from behind him. True to form, Lefanis does the 100m dash again and the Thing roars in anger as it had thought it had now had enough experience to hunt with free claws. It was close - the Ghost just needed one more successful attack. Lefanis was never in any danger though as a hidden hand with a Walter PPK fired shots from a dark corridor and made the Thing do its ghostly act and disappear.
My Analysis: Bodyguard is protecting Lefanis. If what Disturbedyang says is right about Telrunya being Bodyguard protecting the Thing from itself, then Lefanis is the Thing.

VOTE TELRUNYA. ((sorry, wasn't be able to log in due to bandwidth problems and a sheer determination to finish Mass Effect 3))

DEADLINE 12
VOTE Lefanis - Telrunya #293, Ketchum #297
VOTE Telrunya - Lefanis #294, Cren #303
There were no surprises with the voting this time. The four of them had divided equally into two distinct camps. What that distinction was though, wasn't clear yet. With the voting tied, no lynching occured.
Yet, in the night two attacks were made - on Agent Cren - as he was already wounded, he was simply shredded to bits.
And now there were three.
Ketchum is still wounded.
Cren is attacked and killed.
The Ghost has 2 kills.
The Darkness has 3 kills.
-
Sorry for the delay. I was travelling, 8-hour drive. Then had light dinner and fell asleep. Still sleepy this morning.
Deadline (in 24 hours from now) will be extended until next SUNRISE (not sunset).
-
Vote Ketchum, for being an ass and throwing the game.
-
Ketchum has lesser kills, so he had a chance if he'd gone for Telrunya last turn. too bad.
-
Unvote Ketchum
Vote Lefanis
-
Ketchum has lesser kills, so he had a chance if he'd gone for Telrunya last turn. too bad.
LOL, yes, you are right.
Let me highlight in Green below for your benefit 8)
I will die too if hunt Telrunya the Thing :P
Actually you can help me win by helping me vote lynch Telrunya today. Well, that if you want me to win ;D
At that time before last night hunts.
The Ghost has 1 kills.
The Darkness has 2 kills.
- The Thing - May attack one person per day until it reaches parity and will then openly kill the last person and wins. Has a more successful attack against the quieter humans who don't speak much and keep to themselves. After several successful attacks can then attack anyone successfully. First attack will ONLY wound someone. Second attack on someone already wounded will kill. Two attacks on the same person at the same time will kill immediately. If Thing attacks Thing, the Thing with less kills loses the fight otherwise both lose. Can infect ONE human upon its death who then turns into The Thing (will NOT have any human abilities). Infected humans cannot infect others. Only ONE Thing can win.
-
For the fun and keeping to the rule of excitement for last day and if Agent Lefanis think of changing mind :P
It is a bit pity that original Thing does not have any advantage over infected Thing in terms of hunt each other :'(
VOTE TELRUNYA
-
GUYS - I TOLD YOU SO!!! Haha. Just had to do this. I just can't believe that you guys still did not believe me after i was lynched, especially with Ketchum saying he cleared me way before but was involved in the voting. What more can i say huh?
-
It is a bit pity that original Thing does not have any advantage over infected Thing in terms of hunt each other
Well, you are free to hunt whoever while I was limited by the activity rule. I think that's the one advantage you had over me.
And yes, while I was hoping Ketchum wouldn't explain till after the game, he had no chance of winning if he attacked me (Actually, if Cren healed himself, the townies would have won if Ketchum attacked me since he would have killed himself). For us both, this was our best shot at winning and crucial that we took out either Lefanis or Cren, even if it wasn't ideal and neither of our victories was certain due it. There was just no way for either of us to double-cross each other, from what I could think off. And I was definitely thinking about how I could make my victory 100% certain.
Since Lefanis wants to lynch himself, I'll oblige, but I'll switch to voting Ketchum if he votes Ketchum:
VOTE LEFANIS

DEADLINE 13
VOTE Lefanis - Lefanis #308, Telrunya #312
VOTE Telrunya - Ketchum #310
The finale was tight. What made it tighter was that everything had been found out. With the Ghost not able to rack up a higher kill score as well as being wounded, attacking the Darkness was impossible. Try as he might, Agent Lefanis could not get the two Things to kill each other and as such had decided to use his final Black Ops ability - for country and Queen.
It was a Mexican stand off like no other. Agent Telrunya the Darkness reborn pointed his talon at Agent Ketchum the Ghost who pointed his own talon at Agent Lefanis the Black Operator who in turn pointed his Walter PPK at Telrunya.
"Agent Lefanis, I will send you your Nobel medal in the afterworld", smiled the Ghost. At a nod from both Things they at once converged upon Lefanis and stabbed him to death but not before Lefanis managed to get a crack at Telrunya and wounding him in the process.
Then in the ultimate face-off, Telrunya (wounded with 3 kills) stared down Ketchum (wounded with 2 kills) and Dishman's eyes could be seen glinting in Telrunya's. With a savage roar they both launched themselves at each other and using his experience, Telrunya got a talon into Ketchum's heart and slowly he sanked to the ground in death.
Lefanis is lynched.
Ketchum is attacked and killed.
Telrunya is auto-attacked and wounded.
In the ensuing days, after reviewing the intelligence reports, the entire MI6 acknowledges the bravery of the Hero of Thule, Agent Lefanis, his double-0 status reinstated, and knighted post-mortem, Sir Lefanis was inducted into the MI6 Hall of Fame as its most valuable agent.
Back on the streets outside MI6 headquarters, a strange wounded dog dragged itself quietly onto the tourist bus filled with Slavic and Yhudi tourists who were busy communicating with each other and with their respected intelligent agencies. Then without further ado, the bus sped off to parts unknown with Telrunya in his new form, hiding underneath the seats...
THE END
-
Congratulations Telrunya on your win. Good game, well played Sir. Now the after game of what could-be and what-not. Heh 8)
-
That was a fun game, and I didn't suspect Ketchum at all till Disterbedyang came with his analysis! And I can't believe we managed to turn that around at the end :)
Thanks Fury!
-
So...what was your role before being infected?
-
Bodyguard. I did protect Lefanis that day, and Dishman on the 6th(?) night where Disturbedyang analysed I had protected the Thing.
-
Good game, all. I'm glad my scion could avenge my death.
-
I was a Psychic, though y'all lynched me before I could do much. Hence my death RP and the voice in your minds :P
-
Shouldn't i get the MVP instead? Haha.
Anyway, i don't get why you guys did not get rid of Ketchum after i got lynched? Aren't my analysis of any good? Or are you guys too lazy to read it? I would think the turning point was Lefanis and Penchant went inactive when i got lynched. If they sided me, we would have had the chance. We know Cren is the infected, Ketchum is the other thing and we only need to find out the other infected one.
-
A good long game. :)
Since we all know this is a niche game with few players, the objectives for the game mechanics were to lengthen the game by giving each player roughly 2 lives, and to make the game go on as long as possible as long as there were moves to be made by artificially extending the lives of the Things.
And yes, GM does try to balance things along the way, I've mentioned it before in one of the previous games too. ;) I'll post some more when I think of something else to say. But for now, here are the clues revealed:
Deadline 1 - clue on number of (Things)
... naturally found the Thing missing... a few of its more miniscule body parts.
Meaning there's more than 1 Thing in the game.
Deadline 2 - clue on shot
Shot as in who had a shot (opportunity) at attacking people?
Agent Penchant and Agent Ketchum tried to help him by calming everybody down and setting off (going away on their own) to gather some intel like they used to.
Deadline 3 - clue on number of (Things)
1 Thing tried to attack Lefanis and 1 Thing attacked Ketchum (self-attack).
Deadline 4 - clue on different nature
1 Thing attacks without saying anything and 1 Thing has wisecracks. Could be a hint to the player's personality.
Deadline 5 - the Ghost and the Darkness
My first DVD movie - it came free with the DVD player ;D.
Deadline 6 - clue on (eh what?)
If no one was surprised how Telrunya could escape 1 Thing's attack but not another, this would let you know you were missing something.
-
Need some of those !@#$itall pills. ;D I can't figure out why Cren didn't heal himself >:( I was on vacation for the last two turns, and somehow managed to log on once. Don't see why Ketchum tossed the game by voting me, his only (slim) chance was to vote Telrunya and try and convince me that Cren was the other thing. I though he realised that, so I didn't bother sending him a message (I should have, but not enough time...) :'(
-
LOL, yes, you are right.
Let me highlight in Green below for your benefit 8)
I will die too if hunt Telrunya the Thing :P
Not hunt, vote him that day, instead of me. [/list]
-
For the fun and keeping to the rule of excitement for last day and if Agent Lefanis think of changing mind :P
Just read this, but no :P I was too impressed by Telrunya's move to avoid lynch.
-
The Medic forgot to heal himself.. Thats a ROTFL sight. But no worries, even if I had healed myself, it would have made no difference because there were two attacks on me that night. ;)
-
his only (slim) chance was to vote Telrunya and try and convince me that Cren was the other thing. I though he realised that, so I didn't bother sending him a message (I should have, but not enough time...) :'(
How big was the chance that he would have succeeded with that? Cren was obviously the medic, that would have been a very slim chance to go on to convince you. I don't think you would have fallen for that. Ketchum or me dying meant the other one was dead, as everyone already knew each other's roles. He had a bigger chance taking out Cren with me and then convincing you to vote for me. You could have gone either way, you had no way of winning, all you could do was pick the winner. It wasn't ideal for me either, but that also allowed Ketchum and me to work together, for we couldn't doublecross each other, and we both had a fair 'random' shot at winning. My chances may have been better with having more kills, but it was far from good.
Though my move was actually planned to be done with Ketchum voting for Lefanis as well, then both unvoting. It seemed DNS issues stopped Ketchum from posting though, but I was lucky. That did mean I couldn't attack together with Ketchum to end the game one turn earlier though, but luckily we managed to force the tie rather quickly.
The Thing only being able to attack inactives is sometimes a bit of a pain when you get 'no' choice to choose your target, but I really liked the wounding system for it allowed everyone to play a bit more instead of being taken out in one go.

I still have no idea what the clue means...hahaha :p
-
I still have no idea what the clue means...hahaha :p
Impossible. You were the first to suspect Ketchum. ;D I think Dishman also suspected Ketchum. It takes a Thing to know a Thing.
- Ketchum's move to attack himself was brilliant.
- Telrunya's move dumbfounded me - it never occured to me!
- I loved the way people tried to avoid getting scanned by saying things without meaning it. ;D
- I loved how they tried not to ask me things directly in case their thoughts got scanned. I put in the 'scan thoughts' mechanics because I usually get asked a ton of questions. ;D
- D'Espana's last cry of abuse...power referred to his last scan of Disturbedyang who tried to guide a scan by quoting out of context and he jokingly mentioned abuse of power.
- All the stunts in this game were pulled by the players themselves. GM actually set a straightforward game.
Win scenario for MI6 Agents would have them storming the tourist bus and arresting the whole bunch. Anyone got the Slavic and Yhudi clues? Someone mentioned botox which was like hey how did you know?? Because that was how Agent Sonya was brought back to life in her RP role.
One possible ending was for Lefanis to see no way out so he sacrificed himself and took out the remaining Things by wounding one through his auto-attack. Timing would to be perfect to have both Things wounded with equal number of kills so they end up killing each other.

Haha, suspecting Ketchum is just based on his gameplay - like you told him. It's easy to see the way he plays. But unfortunately, Lefanis do not trust me eventhough i was the one who put out most analysis. I still wonder why...
Telrunya's move was indeed impressive. Haha. He deserves an award just for that. :p
Actually, i think that's abuse of power(which i agree) to ask someone to say a statement. I mean it's very clear then those that refuses or took their own sweet time are the highest up in the suspect list. Even with Ketchum posting that way, it actually points all the fingers at him. Like i said, i do not understand why nobody look at my analysis. Was it too long? haha. But i think this abuse of power is getting out of hand. :p Thanks to Lefanis.

@Lynch Voting
*Interesting to see only 1 person vote: Lefanis vote on Sonya.
*Everyone seems less analysis due to not know each other well yet.
@Selecting victim for Thing to hunt at night
*Dishman, Lefanis, Stabbity, Disturbedyang, Sonya, Telrunya talking on forum.
*Arrandal, Telrunya, D'Espana, Thomasgriff are quiet and exposed to Thing attack.
*Telrunya? He says he is busy in Real Life, so consider good gamesmanship to not attack him just yet unless got reason to.
*Arrandal? He is new to the game. Bad form to kill new players. Atta boy!
* Thomasgriff? He has some Werewolf games experience. Surprise sees him quiet this game.
*D'Espana seems to be a good random choice from all of the quiet ones. If one of the experienced Werewolf player is hunted, at least it gives some confusing result on the rest of the players. Heh.
Attack D'Espana
Include the following words "Haha, you are dead" line from previous Agent Lefanis.

I've got to say I'd have chosen me too if I were you. It was a real pain that I was quite busy those days with unexpected stuff, but hey, life's life :D

@D'Espana was wounded
*D'Espana had come face to face with the Thing! "Haha, you are dead", shrilled a chilling alien voice with an eerily familiar phrase.
*Suppose mislead everyone and make everyone think of Lefanis the previous Agent in previous Thing game installment. Not a successful attempt to portray him as Foreign Agent.
@Lefanis
*He come up with bright idea. Anyone who not say this on forum will be voted. "I am not the Thing. I am not working for foreign intelligence." So I better watch out for those who not say this or twist their words around, they could be Foreign Agents for all I know.
@Stabbity
He looks like Foreign Agent. He not says outright what Lefanis bright idea contains. I have to keep an eye on this one. Playing Werewolf games with him a few times, he has his own reason.
@Cren
He suspects Disturbedyang and me. Our forum posts almost together do not help reduce the suspicion. Gotta avoid Disturbedyang, heh :P
@Selecting victim for Thing to hunt at night
*Dishman, Disturbedyang, Stabbity, Lefanis, Sonya, D'Espana, Cren talking on forum.
*Arrandal, Telrunya, Thomasgriff are quiet and exposed to Thing attack.
*I have PM GM Fury with my question below. Sometime Thing has to attack itself to throw off the suspicion. I am considering this idea seriously since people(Read: Cren) easily cleared wounded people(Read: D’Espana).
I checked the Thing rules, there is no rule against attacking myself. Can I attack myself to throw off the suspicion when the need arises?
@The Thing = Hunter in previous Thing game
I realize The Thing wound skill looks like Hunter role to clear people up. People misunderstand that those who are wounded are cleared up. The only thing that been giving me headache. What if everyone reply to Lefanis bright idea earlier and some Physic scan their posts? That is the main reason why I do not want to post frequently.
Sorry to trouble you again. I have another question. If I found an Agent, can the Agent recruit me? (Of course he doesnt know I am the Thing)
The Thing role in this game starts to look like the Hunter role in previous Thing game where Hunter clears off everyone as Townie by shooting. So I can still wound myself too, right?
Shhh, dont tell anyone. If the Thing(me) wound myself, will the Thing able to attack at next night hunt? As I check and cannot find this in any of the rules. I keep look and look again ::)
@Planning ahead never hurt aye?
If I still alive till then, I need all the helps I can. I even have to consider that I will be recruited by Foreign Agent at one stage.
Sorry to trouble you again. I have another question. If I found an Agent, can the Agent recruit me? (Of course he doesnt know I am the Thing)

Foreign Intelligence can recruit you. But if Foreign Intelligence tries to Call In parity it won't work. You can wound yourself, sure. ;)
Attack Ketchum(Wound only)
@This RolePlay
RP I sent to GM Fury is supposed to make most of the players to think I have a Power Role. Or make them ignore the GM Update and RolePlay when GM Fury left some hints around. Success remain to be seen.
Include the following words "I am surprise M still hire you as their... *cut off line* " line.
@Lynch Voting
* Result is closer than I thought. I thought of breaking the tie, but then I will be suspected. Oh well. Better let them kill each other. Aw… A lynch ties will not result in double lynch. D’Espana and Sonya not break the tie when almost deadline. They both building some alibis huh? :-\

"Include the following words "I am surprise M still hire you as their... *cut off line* " line."
That one almost worked. But i think i messed it up thinking that it was D'Espana. Haha. It was in one of my analysis. I think too much analysis confuses onself. :p
One question though Fury, did the covert op scan Ketchum's thought? What did he get? I believe it was Penchant right?
-
I've got to say I'd have chosen me too if I were you. It was a real pain that I was quite busy those days with unexpected stuff, but hey, life's life :D
Yes, it had to be you on first day though ;)
I should have get rid of Telrunya on first day though, then I wont need to work together with him in later stage 8)

One question though Fury, did the covert op scan Ketchum's thought? What did he get? I believe it was Penchant right?
That is the hard part. I am thinking of leaving you alive for the later stage. As you managed to attract enough attention. Lefanis is becoming more of a threat as the game goes on ::)
Cren suspects me correctly on first day, but then again with so little to almost no information, we have to rely on our gut feeling and follow it through sometime. I very much wanna know Cren role badly on second day :P
Oh yes Disturbedyang. I know you been keeping in touch with Penchant. You even asked him for his scan result in your PM to many of us. Which hint to me that I would need to hunt Penchant in later stage ;D
That Lefanis brilliant master stroke move is suggesting everyone say the same thing on forum. Luckily for me, Stabbity is open to play along with me on forum when he/I need to say it out I am not the Foreign Agent(in 1 post) and nor the Thing(in another post) :P
-
One question though Fury, did the covert op scan Ketchum's thought? What did he get? I believe it was Penchant right?
Skimming through the PMs, I don't see Ketchum getting his thoughts scanned.
Also, people seem to love getting infected and wanted to waste no time in finding out if they were. Actually, I meant for people to try and see if their human skills still worked instead of going and attack someone. ;D
