I don't like people unilaterally moving us around, that feels like a scum move

Then go back and look at the other statue! It sounded like there wasn�t anything there besides the lettering we couldn�t read. I don�t have a lot of experience with this game format.

I�m watching Strongbad�s �Disk 4 of 12 - Vampires Castle� to study possible commands :h:

Also we need a key to read the language on these things so we gotta find it.

Maybe the torso is the rosetta stone!

It didn't sound to me like there was anything else we could investigate from far away.

So, I did NOT think opening the door would solve the puzzle.

I think it is fair to assume opening this door could solve the puzzle this time.

We gotta play mafia too ! !

Can someone go north and look at the lock? tia.

Oh I basically said the same thing yuming did, lol

Right kekeke

I don't think it's scummy of Maer to have ended the day because I don't think anyone knew that was the solution.

I suppose it's possible scum have extra information about the puzzle, but that seems like too much.

Maerlyn posted:

I don't know that it matters but just to correct you TPC, YPM wouldn't have ended the day with that action (I think he tried to enter before the arms/head pedestal thing)

TPC making things up in response to pressure totes scummy, heh.

For this game to work I think it has to be solvable / fail-proof.

I�m on aboard for Maer solving the puzzle.

Are we gonna vote someone out today or just let the scum pick us off?

I think Maer feels townie still.

TPC is neutral maybe scum. Like a bit of weird tone, I wasn't sure what to make of that giant post which seemed out of character and not particularly helpful.

MSSR YPM kaschei and Hal ??

Opop I think his aggressiveness feels more townie than not.

yuming: Feb 26, 2008; dance dance dance

I thought for a bit about who would kill Fancy N1 but didn't really come up with anything.

Fancy has gotten eliminated early a few times this spring IIRC, he seemed to be thinking about the puzzles in a unique way, and no way to know he was a vig.

Bet he regrets not shooting v :shobon:

Is this bragging

What do YOU think kaschei?

I would feel bad killing Fancy this game since I haven't played with him for a bit. Ditto MSRR.

I probably would've killed TPC or Opop hth.

Why did your scum partner want to kill fancy

I don't have a scum partner :sun:

Perhaps whoever killed Fancy viewed it as a good-for-the-game lurker kill.

A collection of movement omitting fancy

Opop points out potential readability of how people decide to move, yuming gets defensive

YPM tries to enter dungeon, which if he weren't on cooldown would have ended the day

It's Maer That's able to do it, thus ending the day

From what I can tell though it's not like anyone could have known that would end the day right?

This post is out of character for TPC.

It gives me ~bad vibes~

My Second Re-Reg posted:

For yuming:

AFQM had, like, a grand total of three posts in the thread D1, at least one of which (maybe two) looks like a joke post. I'm not sure where yuming gets that AFQM was "thinking about the puzzles in a unique way", and the bit about regret at the end just makes the whole thing feel all the more strange. yuming is putting in good work toward solving the puzzles, but I feel like that's alignment-neutral in terms of the game; this post strikes me as.... oddly reasoned out.

For TPC the post about movement is pretty white-noisy, and I'm not really sure I like people pushing for voting out lurkers in such a small & active game; I feel like we should be able to focus more on the active people creating posts/content for us to judge, and pushing lurkers as a day vote tends to be a scum strategy, in my experience.

As to why your comments about movement feel weird, it seems like it was awful early in the game to be judging people for messing around with the system and mechanics; if someone was moving us maliciously, like in ways that prevented us from returning to previous areas, I'd agree. But coming right out of the gate with heat for people just playing around with the setup on D1? idk seems like scum trying to sow early suspicion to keep people distracted - TPC agreeing with you on this doesn't help me separate the two of you in my mind.

ALSO YOU AND TPC VOTED FOR ME, LET ME NOT FORGET THAT ONE

Eh I just meant that he was trying weird commands.

But ultimately I think scum viewed him as a lurker kill.

kaschei is an interesting kill. I thought I was gonna be me or Maer tbh.

The track was a boon I got for solving the puzzle btw.
