Game #1

Post by **joltcountry** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 11:56 am

I made a random number generator in Hugo and "1" was the first thing to come up. Sorry, Bruce. :(

So now you get to pick who you want the second Thing to be, before the game starts (presuming Roody is the 13th person to join). That will give us two The Things.

(Also, to everyone who ends up here, I will probably make this base public after the game, so don't say anything you wouldn't want everyone to hear. It's for reasons like this that my brother cannot play.)

OK, Bruce and Aardvark are our Things! I will start the game for everyone in a few minutes.

So now Bruce and I sit tight until the testing is over and then pick someone else, right? Or do we pick one person apiece? Actually, that would end the game in three days or so.. Can we confer on who to Thing-a -majig next? The way I see it, we pick someone who tested negative today. The old double jeopardy gambit.

In that TSR game I linked to yesterday the alien (named Zebu-Lon) attached some alien device to the back of the victim's neck, sort of walked up to them and Wack! I guess.

hey, we, as things, don't have to Bite anyone (like them werewolves) do we? that would leave a bad taste in my mouth..

As far as everyone else knows you are human. So you vote right along with the rest of them and don't let on that you are not. Strategy can come from trying to convince the humans to waste a test on each other. They'll go right along saying, "Hmm, Aardvark thinks we should test Johnny, well, I agree." And boom, wasted test!

Draal kicked things off by picking Pinback, so throwing in with him helps build a majority on a wasted test.

That was an excellent play, Vark. It looks like Johnny has some momentum. Well done!

Holy shit, Draal is on the pro-Aardvark BANDWAGON. I have never seen the humans get one of the two original Things right, this is surely unheard of.

Or maybe very common, I don't know.

The Milker is hot on your ass as well. At the end of the game I hope he will agree that I absolutely did not try to throw him on your trail or off it (he works next to me). On the other hand, noting this now makes for a better post-mortem thread at the end of things, to see if you two manage to accusations flying at someone else.

so after this vote, if I am still alive, we pick another thing. do we confer first? And if I am eliminated can I still crack wise in the other thread? just not vote.

I'd have to say Vitriola, because Pinback would just be too obvious.

Yeah, he'd change his whole attitude, lets go with V.

Okay, I am going to give Vitriola access to this base. She is asleep right now. I will leave her a note that says "You are a Thing."

To Dayna: Remember, nobody knows you are a Thing except Bruce and Aardvark. You three are on the same team right now. Let me know if you have any questions. This being the first attempt at playing the game, do consult with me if you are confused about anything!

Also: there should be delicious tea waiting for you in the morning when you wake up and read this!

Huh, I really thought it would be GSDGSD. I'm going with him.

WHO'S WITH ME??????? COME ON!!!!!!!

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:35 am

OK, I am going to get either Jack or my brother to replace Johnny. It requires my brother not being a RAGING ASSHOLE, but I think the DLP thread calmed him down a little. He was able to blow off some steam.

There was a text message that said Johnny voted for Bruce, it came from Gerrit this morning. I just didn't know if you could fake a post from Johnny saying that.

I hopped on the gsdgsd bandwagon but it looks like I may be pulling into DiscoveredThingville Station soon.

Yeah. Nobody is considering Johnny, CO and Milker because they are hardly posting (though CO gave us a reason why and we expected this). That essentially make it a 2 Thing 8 Human game to start, which is way-skewed in favor of the humans, I would think.

I just asked my brother to take over for Johnny. God help us all. He reads this place every night, so he at least visits.

Perhaps I am grateful for the oncoming sweet embrace of death, then.

When I am discovered, I would like to shriek, "SUCK MY THE THINGLY BALLS!" at everyone. With, I hope, appropriate grossly-inappropriate images. I envision something like giant cabbages writhing with vivid purple worm-tentacles.

Just....suggesting.

So we stand a better chance of staying alive if we all vote for the same people. How to do that without looking suspicious?
