Nice narrative!

And :)

Was that you!? Sarah O' Connor confirmed!

----------

Whoa! Didn't see either of those coming...

DP was my highest suspect, so back so square one.

I think he was the necromancer.

----------

****! Not having enough time to follow properly sucks big time with these more complex games. Not sure how Tomorrow got demasked. But awesome work!!

It was not! I'm off for a bit, but I'll check in later.
 
Ah, bravo. Excellent! Got one! Fantastic! Very, very, very well done. Take a bow.

(If there was an icon to depict rubbing hands together with pleased satisfaction, I'd post it, now; indeed, if there was an icon to depict appal use, loud, prolonged and sustained, I'd happily post that, too…..)

I was the Hunter. I suspected him already, but his comments about the "hole" was enough for me to decide to use my ability. My date was great, actually, to those who thought I came on here grumpy, and I guess others idea of what an end of date should be are different than mine (it's definitely not about getting into a hole...I'm surprised women on here aren't totally offended by those comments). That's certainly not what I'm about. Anyway, sorry if I seem or seemed "irascible," but when you have a guy like Plutonius who has an innate sense of who the baddies are, it seems senseless to even vote for him at all. I couldn't understand why the bandwagon started for him in the first place, and then there was the last minute "attempt" to save him. I just don't think it should have gotten to that point in the first place, which is why I was annoyed.
 
good luck, heroes!

Random.

DP was walking on Moses beach one warm spring morning, as two kids kids were flying kites nearby.
Suddenly, a bowl of petunias appeared in the sky, approaching the ground at terminal velocity. The bowl of petunias cleanly and precisely severed, in close succession, the single wire of the turtle-holding-elephants-holding-the-flat-world-on-her-back-shaped kite which the little girl was pulling against the strong sea-wind, and both the wires of the white-and-red stunt kite the teen-age boy was expertly flying into a controlled (and from then on, uncontrolled) dive. The bowl of petunias then proceeded to hit DP squarely on the forehead, knocking him down. Inexplicably, the two kites did not get lost in the clouds, but caught a swirling wind gust and followed a mathematically perfect harmonic spiral, which gently deposited them on the sand on either side of the poor chap.
The two kids arrived running, as DP was dazedly getting up on his elbows, surprisingly not dead.
“Can you fix it?” asked the little girl, offering the handle with the long, loose thread trailing.
“What are the odds!” murmured the teenage boy, a perplexed look on his face.
“Well, at least it wasn’t a sperm whale..” was the only thing DP could think.
It is not clear what the last thoughts of the bowl of petunias were.

That day, Random was born.
He now roams the streets of Manhattan, to keep his fellow Newyorkers safe. Anytime troubles are afoot, he yells "Don't Panic!", and intervenes. He wears a costume made of mismatched, miscellaneous items randomly picked without any thought, plan or fashion sense from his own, his wife’s, or his kids’ wardrobes. This being New York, he is practically invisible.

Random’s power -which he can occasionally control in part- is the ability to disrupt Probability and Its Laws, so that “unlikely” is the most common –but not invariable- outcome of any given event occurring around him.
At times, Random can wield his power to great effect, and he might –or not- be responsible for the current unexpected Ranger’s run at the Stanley cup.
His kids (the only ones along with their mom who know about this awesome power) have repeatedly asked him to do something about the Knicks and the Mets, but that might be beyond anyone’s range of intervention.

Every time DP flips a coin -any coin- “heads” invariably comes up. Oddly enough, this is true even if the coin did not have a “heads” side to begin with. When DP picks a card from a deck, without fail it turns out to be the Two of Spades.
 
i was wondering about your random but not Random comment :)

good call aggie although for all the wrong reasons, i haven't followed the bickering - seems like i didn't miss a thing.

Actually, I have just been re-reading some of the bickering, along with the last few pages, just to revisit what has been happening.

Right, comrades, lads and lasses.

Excellent call -aggie-; Tomorrow had laid a rather good trail and offered plausible arguments together with a rather credible self-deprecatory tone which defused my suspicions 0 which were strong - about him.

(I took the trouble to re-read the post to which you referred arriving home rather late; hm; point taken. Tasteless. In the extreme.)

From the start, I was highly suspicious of the bandwagon which seemed to be gliding around Plutonius - with startlingly suspicious ease, greased wheels and all, and that it seemed to accelerate on Day 2 also was rather striking to me.

I am also surprised at the resurrection of Southern Dad; I fail to see why this power was used so early - when to my mind a better use would have been the resurrection of a longstanding player of proven worth (e.g. Plutonius, or DP).

I am also struck by the fact that none of those who were supposed to have been lynched were lynched. SD was resurrected and Tomorrow substituted Plutonius for himself. Then, to compound that, we had the murders of ravenvii and DP.

Bear in kind that this is not a standard WW game; some of us have a number of powers, and I think it might not be a bad idea to begin to pool some of the information which is slowly beginning to accrue to us.

For now, I will have a rapid re-read of the first page and its useful list of powers and possible combinations. Some thinking needs to be done….

 
Seems like Tomorrow got infected? Or the real executioner missed a lot after his/her doing - quite unlikely.

Ss, It's quite likely that the Necromancer thought he/she dies early, say Night 1 and thus used it as soon as possible. DP stated it before and does make the most sense to me. Now that he is ultimately cleared I believe it was DP. And rightly did so.
 
No, I don't think that Tomorrow got infected. I think he was one of the originals (i.e. original WWs), and had the 'Die-Hard' power, which he then used, (and more or less admitted to having done so).

Then, I suspect that the Necromancer (possibly then DP), may have used this power to revive SD; this may well have been a tactical decision in order to prevent it being used subsequently, especially if DP was infected.

Next up, we have -aggie-, who has used the power of the Hunter to dispatch Tomorrow (good work).

That still leaves quite a lot that we don't know.

I'll admit that I am unhappy with people not posting, and a lot less happy with individuals not even bothering to cast a vote.

In fact, I hadn't realised (and never noticed the lack of same from my own notes) that neither TechGod nor WoodNUFC had voted on day 2; I hadn't even missed either of them. So much for the strong imprint of their presence on the written page, or, for that matter, for my powers of observation.
 
Die-hard? Possibly..not sure why he wouldn't say so though. Would have been quite a risky move by him then.

Or the Leecher who took the Executioner's power. Or the die-hard's.
 
Nice Aggie!!

I wonder if Tomorrow was infected before or after he saved himself. Either way, nice to see him taken down so quickly!

If the Die Hard power was used, would there be a lynching at all? It seems like either he was the executioner (and infected) or he leeched the power of the executioner.
 
I think DP was indeed the necromancer.

Since DP doesn't seem to have a history of surviving very long as a villager:)D)

He probably thought, one more villager means one additional person to increase our voting power. If DP truly was the necromancer then I think he pulled off a smart move.


Also, great job aggie!
 
Nice Aggie!!

What makes you think he was infected?

I very much doubt that he was, and I will continue to operate on the belief that he was one of the original WWs until proven otherwise. Or is there something else that we need to know?

Given that no WW had been caught, and with the plethora of powers available, it hardly makes sense to use the infection so early. Not with three thriving WWs in the field.

However, it would be useful for the WWS to make individuals think that the infection had been in play and had been recognised and dealt with. I don;'t believe it - or, rather, I don't think that Tomorrow was the infected. He was either the Alpha or the Third WW - and, remember, under these rules, the infection need not be used when the Alpha is about to die….it can be retained by the team as a whole, and remain not simply in the gift (blessed, cursed, tainted or otherwise) of the Alpha….to be off-loaded as needed

Yes I realise I didn't vote, but I was waiting to see what bandwagons would start then, shortly after I got a nice surprise from my History teacher, it was to fully complete an essay on the Industrial Revolution and how important the technological advances were to the success of the revolution.

I got VERY busy with that and I apologise for not voting, I am free now however.
 
He wasn't leeching the executioner stuff. That much i can tell you. And i doubt he was the die-hard since it would be strange if he was at that point but lied about it pretending to be the executioner.

He was infected in my book.

----------

That said, ss is right regarding the early infection looked unlikely. Maybe one of the original bad guys was under pressure?
 
Ouch. My bad.

I have re-read (yet again) that first page.

It seems that we may have had an infected Executioner, then.

That makes it four WWs that we have to deal with (with one now successfully identified and removed) and an experienced, bold hand leading them.

For it is a bold - and daring - move to infect so early, and makes me think that the WWs are going for broke.

Merde, which, given the tone - and titles - those self- awarded by some - of some of and on this thread, is perhaps, appropriate in the circumstances..…..
 
wow, im so lost. thought i would check in, but its pretty overwhelming. hopefully when i get back to the hotel room tonight i can catch up. won't be sober though. :D
 
Twietee

Again for the same reasons as previously.

At least, I'm pretty sure the WW would not have tried to save Tomorrow, since he could save himself and be relatively safe for day 3. Thank to Aggie tho, we have a WW down.

Last thing tho, we need to remember those 3 roles.

Swapper - This player may swap the powers of any two other players. (Active, One-time use, Anytime, Dual-nature)
Leech - This player may steal the power of another player. Power use status is preserved. (Active, One-time use, Anytime, Private)
Scavenger - This player may steal the power of a dead player. Power use status is preserved. (Active, One-time use, Day-time, Private)

So even if we find our self a seer, guard or undertaker we can't be sure it's a villager....... so sad
 
I'm going to vote for Sythas based on his voting record.

Day 1 he voted for both Pluto and DP. I think he's smart enough not to pile on votes to get rid of strategists, but on day 1 since most voting is "random" it's easy enough to blend in with the crowd.
 
Aggie didn't vote for either myself or SouthernDad last turn which is why he was under consideration. He responded to this and there isn't any evidence why he (or anyone else) is guilty (we are shooting blind).

I also strongly feel that it might be a bad idea to kill Sythas and I'm not going to vote for Aggie. I still think that Tomorrow is a WW but it's only a gut feeling.

I'd usually go with who Plutonius voted for, since he seems to have a gift, at least in the last few games. He even had Yesterday in his sights.

I'm going with Abbie. I don't believe the argument that she got ninja'd when she voted for me right after DP.

Edit: My list of potential suspects from the OP list (just gut feelings for the other two):

3. abijnk
4. Twietee
14. Queen of Spades

People I think are NOT suspects:
Scepticalscribe, TechGod, and maybe Southern Dad.

I'd also normally say Rick is a suspect, but I'm not feeling it this game.

Moe is always a mystery, but she seemed to be trying to help save Plutonius, albeit at the last minute.

The others I didn't mention I have no opinion either way.
