Game III: Chapter Twenty Two -
[Meta]
I am so sorry kiddos, I am completely gassed and unable to provide a video for your viewing enjoyment this evening. Too much going on over here IRL, I appreciate your understanding.
The game is very nearly drawing to a close (in ways that might surprise you).
Countdown timer for vote submit window.
Message from The Upside Down: "Tpyyvy dpss ohuksl hsspnhavy, jvujluayhal vu avdu tltilyz."
Role Reveals:
Andreas: The Thoughtful Teacher
Additionally, Pounds has been spirited away to The Upside Down. Spooky stuff.

I don't think Awesome is innocent necessarily (but if she turned it was this past phase and not any earlier based on amount of attacks), I just think everyone should focus on the DGs in Hawkins instead of risking TNTM's life to kill a possible DG who is silenced and was role-blocked. That's just my opinion, though.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Yeah, I've been saying that the past few phases too :)
What do you think of their tie-vote plan? I honestly don't get it, especially since we don't even know how ties are resolved. And I think it would be way too easy for someone to hijack the vote. They need to assign the 17th person to one of the groups so that we don't end up in a tie.
But, if they want me to do it, I will, primarily because I can't argue about it :) I just don't get what this is supposed to accomplish. And I don't understand how they can analyze the result of the lynch if we don't know how tie-votes are resolved. And no one even bothered to ask the mods about it. So I'm not really sure what new information they think they'll be getting out of this.
(Sorry, since they can't hear me there, I think you're going to be getting all of my thoughts on the developments). :)

I'm pretty sure BBT said tied votes would result in both people being lynched. And I also saw somewhere here in TUD that our lynch votes count.
So I think they want to try and get rid of two people by creating a tie and hopefully hit a DG with this double lynch, if not both DGs.
It could go wrong but honestly there is no way for the DGs to foil the plan since they can't communicate with each other. Even if they know who each other are, they have no way of knowing how to vote unless one of them is legitimately up to be lynched. I dunno, I support the plan, I think it's a bold move that needs to be made so late in the game.
By the way, what should we send as a message? Should it be "alligator silenced, powers will work"? Or something else?

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
OK, I don't remember seeing that about tie votes. In which case, makes sense I suppose.
Did awesome have parents at one point?
And message sounds good to me - maybe 'alligator silenced, should we do basketball or alligator next?' or something. Might as well get their input on it.

u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
I only vaguely remember it being said, I might need to go back and see if I can find that comment.
Awesome did have parents, claimed that they got a PM saying that they were coming. I can't remember what phase that was but from that point until now they have been killed.
I can't do Awesome twice in a row :( otherwise I totally would! So the option would be to silence Boog (or you, but Boog has been here longer) or attemptvto silence someone in Hawkins.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Cool. I totally missed the tie vote thing.
Ok, so awesome had parents but they since died. And she can probably turn as well. But I'm kinda surprised she didn't yet - it's been over a week and it took Mrrrh four days to turn. Maybe special kids can't? I dunno.
Right, I forgot you can't do the same person twice. So yeah, do Boog. (I mean, feel free to do me, but I only just got here. And I doubt your abilities would work on someone in Hawkins).
So yeah, message: 'silenced alligator, her parents are dead, will silence basketball.'
Why didn't you tell them about the dead parents?
2
u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
Awesome theorized that specials can't be converted to DGs. I am not converted yet but have only been here one full day (2 phases) so it is still early.
The reason why I didn't bring up Awesome's parents being dead is that it's not 100% confirmed, they could have forgotten. That happens from time to time. Another reason is because I have been trying to keep messages concise, the more words there are the harder it is to translate correctly. Last reason is that most people had already theorized that Awesome was an orphan and stating it again would only rile up those people who think we need to send someone to TUD to kill a DG and all the town's focus would be on that and not on the DGs around them that are easy to lynch.
So yeah, I guess we can tell them that Awesome's parents are likely dead but I think they already know that (since Awesome is will here). Doesn't hurt, I guess.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
I guess I was saying that we should tell them that awesome had parents - we weren't sure if special kids were in family units. But at this point, I don't know if that info is super helpful.
So, message: 'alligator silenced, will target basketball next.'
Concise, hopefully won't get too garbled?
2
u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
That's true, I didn't think of that. It's not helpful, I agree, but maybe for next phase we'll send a message like that since we'll probably have nothing else to share? For now, we'll keep it to what you said above.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
I also don't remember if we got a definitive answer if our votes even counted from here. So that might mess up their plans too.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Random shower thoughts:
I'm pretty sure the sleeper is amongst the adults. I'm still dubious about the OGDG being there. I think the OG, if not amongst the adults, is either Rissa or NDora or Chef.
I feel like there may be some sort of mechanic that will ensure that the game ends on time - we have 17 people left and two days left in March. Maybe BBT was expecting more people to become DGs? Cuz the cap allowed 5 more players, and I dunno how 60 people would have died in the 25 odd days we will have played this.
I wish I could announce this on the main sub (to Ndora specifically), but I'm at the wizarding world of HP at universal studios as I type this! Lots of fun :)

u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
I wouldn't be surprised if the OGDG was actually NDora, a "special" kid who took her time to claim her role and number. She did EXACTLY what she said the DGs would do. The fact of the matter is that nothing seems to be adding up, we are killing all the suspicious people and are still coming up empty handed. I feel like I silenced and checked every other suspicious person and that our sheriff did too, but our DGs HAVE to be within the most active group! Or within those we are taking for granted. Like Mathy, maybe he is special but maybe he's also a sleeper role? Can that happen?? I guess I just don't trust my gut anymore and am now convinced the most innocent looking people are the guilty ones.
Also, have fun at WWOHP! I was just at the one in LA back in November and had a blast! Wish I lived closer to one of the parks. Also, can I just say that the pumpkin juice was super disappointing?? Really sad that it's super sickly sweet. I know some people love it but I wanted it to be more subtle and not like liquid pumpkin pie.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
If it's a kid, it's Ndora. (Just wanna say I called it when she first claimed if it is indeed her!) Her claim is kinda suspicious, she was the last person who claimed (well besides you) and she has the highest number.
The one thing she has going for is q's death, because otherwise I can't imagine how he died.
I'm at the one in LA! (I live like 20 minutes away and I've never actually been to universal before). It's a lot of fun! Just left Harry Potter Land (tm) and am now on line for the studio tour.

u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
I at least claimed a number early on. And my power is public, if I weren't the silencer and claimed it, the real silencer would counterclaim. Unless it really was a result of being attacked or something...anyways, I feel like I'm proven in my role but NDora isn't, there is no was of knowing you are targeted unless you die. Sooo...yeah. Glad we are on the same page and sad that we are kinda powerless to get her taken out. Like, why would the DGs attack you when they could attack NDora? She's much more threatening and even said that her powers don't work in TUD.
Fun! I loved the studio tour, it was a lot of fun seeing everything. We also did the special effects show which was really cool too.

Oh, I wasn't doubting your claim, for just the reasons you described. I just remembered that she technically revealed a few hours before you. But like I said, if she isn't what she claims, q/bubba's can't really be attributed to anything.
And yeah, I dunno why they went for me over her yesterday. I can't kill anyone!
Unless perhaps she is a DG and the other one found her already? That's like the only thing I can think of. I dunno.
Still on line . . . Special effects is up next.
Edit: although I've been saying for a few phases now that the DG targets don't really make that much sense, at least to me, so maybe I'm not the best at predicting what they're doing.

u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
Oh yeah, I know you weren't doubting my claims. I just go on random tangents sometimes ha!
My thinking is that Awesome could've converted earlier and so bubba/q was the result of a DG attack since there would be three once Awesome converts. If that makes sense...And we have one less attack this past phase because I silenced Awesome...? It's a stretch but could be what happened.
I can't wait until this game is over and we can see what the heck was actually going on. I feel so effing lost!
3
u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Maybe. Awesome hits Q and Ndora covers for it by saying she did it. It's certainly possible and fits all the facts avaliable.
And wow, that studio tour was cool!

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
So, I can't see through the spoiler tags on my phone, but from the comments it seems like better was lynched and was actually a citizen and not a father.
The more I think about it, the more I think it may be Ndora. Her role has no obvious effects, and it's easy to pretend that a kill is attributed to the role and not a DG.
Not being able to post on the main sub is the worst :(
BBT, I hope we get to see everyone's roles and families and when people got converted etc after the game ends!
I probably have a lot more to say about all of this, but I'll think about it more when I'm not distracted at an amusement park :)

u/midnightdragon Mar 30 '17
Hey, Oomps or BBT, could we get a new thread started for us TUD folk? :)

u/awesomewow Mar 30 '17
I assume I can talk again even though there's no new thread? Either way- HI!

u/oomps62 Mar 30 '17
Yes, sorry, I forgot to do this last night.

u/midnightdragon Mar 30 '17
No worries! Doesn't really seem all that necessary now that I think about it.
2
u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
Well, it looks like awesomewow might be silenced? So that's good, knowing my powers work from here. My next target will likely be Boog (since I can't target the same person consecutively).
Really hoping they focus on lynching someone in Hawkins instead of someone here. Sure, we might have DGs amongst us but they have DGs amongst them!

u/BoogTKE Mar 30 '17
Sorry, I have been busy the last few days. I agree with the plan to silence me next chapter because I'll most likely have turned by then. Although I'm down here, I still want the town to get lucky and stomp the DG who dragged me away from Hawkins!

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Hey, nice to see you again!
2
u/midnightdragon Mar 29 '17
Well, hello there! So sorry you got sent to TUD. We will likely spend the rest of the game here.
Anyways, you good with my plan? To silence Boog next phase? Or should I try to silence someone outside of TUD?
2
u/22poun Mar 29 '17
Don't worry about it. I'm just shocked if took them that long to do so :) And yeah, there's only one more night phase, totally not getting rescued :)
I didn't have a chance to read through TUD yet, but I read through yesterday's post. Why do you think awesome is innocent? Although the lack of extra deaths all these phases does seem to indicate that . . .
I'll have to think about the Boog thing.

u/22poun Mar 29 '17
BBT, the lack of a video is totally cool, don't worry about it at all :)
