Long Game 105 - Day Seven: They're Gone

You have a relatively normal night. You discuss with the others, and the Team Leader singlehandedly decides to send the Psychologist back to Central. Twice they've done that, that's worrying.

Available Locations for Exploration:

Spoiler

Base Camp

You have arrived, after a now foggy and forgotten journey from the border, to the Base Camp. You found stored supplies to supplement what you traveled with. You set up your tents and equipment, which is outdated due to the proscription of modern technology in Area X. 

Perhaps it wouldn't be polite to go snooping through someone's tents, but what they don't know can't hurt them. 

Besides, can they really blame you for looking for clues as to their humanity?

Linguist's Tent

Psychologist's Tent

Surveyor's Tent

Medic's Tent

Biologist's Tent

Anthropologist's Tent

Archeologist's Tent

Abandoned Village 

The records from previous expeditions speak of an abandoned village in the same direction as the Lighthouse. Not much is known about this village, but the records claim that previous searches proved fruitless.

Perhaps with the Surveyor's newly detailed maps, you can find something more here. The previous expeditions found nothing, hey, maybe you'll be special.

The Tunnel

You have learned some about this mysterious structure, but surely there must be something at the bottom of those stairs or a message in those cryptic words.

Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is perhaps the most prominent feature of Area X. You have been tasked with exploring it and uncovering the information hidden therein. Even if you weren't under orders, you would still feel drawn there. Something inexplicable pulls you. As if its long dormant light were focused on you and only you.

Island Y

Little is known of this island except its existence. It is not considered a priority, but there must be some information hidden in its own smaller lighthouse and village.

Up the Coast 

It has been determined that the secret of Area X does not lie along the coast. It is outside the purview of your mission, though you may explore here if necessary

Long Game 105 - Night Eight: Getting Tired

Still, you need to figure out who to send back to Central.

Quivil are you openwolfing now?

[|TJ| he/him]

Hi hello, sorry I meant to post earlier but life happened. Obviously, there have been some lies in the last post because my wincon was to get myself voted out. Let's correct that now -

Results - 

Wiz was with me. 

Italics say that the the previous visitors seemingly lied about the tunnel. The tunnel is moving, not in location, but like a living, breathing thing. Walls are not made of stone, but seemingly out of flesh. We're left wondering if the tunnel had changed since the previous visit, or if the previous visitors lied. 

I find the words mentioned by others. It is made up of mushrooms as described previously. I also do the same mistake as the Biologist. I lean in and can't help but breathe in the spores. 

Not sure if I can c/p it, but paraphrasing of the words - it's something about sinners who are worms in nature. 

All true till here

In non-italics - the text analysis basically says at least one player who visited the tower (it doesn't say if it is initially visited so could include Wiz as well) and discovered the Return Anew wincon is now a doppelganger. It doesn't say if they immediately turned doppelganger or if they turned a cycle later, though I suspect the latter. 

All of the above para is made up. I had to make this up in order to make it seem like voting me out is imperative because it takes out some doppelganger.

In addition, I hid something I found at the Lighthouse last cycle because it was important and I was worried that if I revealed it and the doppelgangers somehow had gotten a kill, they would have targeted me with it, so I wanted to keep it to myself until we knew more. And with the info gained this cycle, I think it's sensible to reveal it now. 

I gained a passive ability called 'Return'. This ability means if I get removed through a vote (essentially leaving Area X), there's a 50% chance that I take down the doppelganger with me (not sure if they are killed or 'removed' with me). It is EXPLICITLY stated that this ability only works if I am removed and NOT if I am killed, which is why I did not want to reveal it last cycle.

I did gain something at the Lighthouse but it was not an ability, it was a wincon called 'Return', basically I win when I get voted out. 

How am I back? Not sure if this is for everyone if I am unique because I got voted out to follow a wincon but when you are removed, you are given an option to either go on to the dead doc or return after 2 cycles with the Destroy the Area X wincon. I need to explore more to find out about the wincon. And that's how I'm back!

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Interesting!

I finally learned how to complete the explore area X wincon, supposedly

Long Game 105 - Day Eight: Fraying 

We sent the Archeologist away just for the Anthropologist to return. Certainly Central wouldn't be sending so many back. Can we trust those who have returned?

The world frays. The end draws near.
