Quick Fix 75: The Tower's Pressure

[OoklaApologist She/her]

Ok, @StrikerEZ, @BigBadBagsworth, @The Unknown Order, @ThatOneWorldhopper, @Lord Spirit, you’ll be PM’d your question. I, Polly, am your GM, and @Araris Valerian is your IM. You have two hours to opt out

Once you opt in, or at the two hour mark, you will receive your question to answer in thread. Do not share your question, or hint at it.

Can we get back to the actual game? If I’m the next one to be exed (after striker) then that’s fine, but I’m suspicious of Triple B. Striker’s obviously an elim, but Triple B’s initial posts today seem a bit excessive in expressing their vote for Striker.

Why would we do that though?

Sounds like someone is scared of getting the wrong question.

Okay, so no meta mafia. But what if we did like...rock paper scissors in thread. I think that's a really good way to decide if you guys should vote me out or not.

I offered tentative hangman.

OK, at this point, I think we’re blatantly bullying striker. Just because we found out his role and he’s ineffectively denying it doens’t mean we have to mercilessly tease him about it.

He's said it himself, but speaking from my own experience in similar situations, doing this kind of thing is really fun.

I swear if Polly makes anyone other than Striker the imposter, I'm voting her

(for legal reasons this is a joke)

Also, incoming math nerd meme

Also, if anyone wants to do hangman, go ahead:

guesses: 7

And if anyone wants to moderate hangman, I’ll PM you my word so you know I’m not cheating.

But obviously, if you’re moderating, you can’t guess.

Oh shoot hangman sounds like a lot of fun. I don’t remember that being an SE tradition, but I’m so down.

Tbf I'd be more screwed if you were also Elim since you're usually the one who doesn't want me to overdo bro reads.

The bright side of bro reads is getting them right easier. The dark side of bro reads is letting them get way with way too much crap smh.

I think you PMed the wrong person. I just replied to a PM from Striker and I don't have any from you

But it's also no big deal, we've never used a mod for impromptu thread hangman games.

As a brief serious aside:

I will concede I still read you as Village but my reads have been off all game. I could maybe see Triple B but it's risky/weird for Triple B to be calling for an extra Penguin vote in the opposite valence from Striker last cycle - the Elims needed a Penguin Night Massacre and blocking it isn't really great for them.

That being said, if I really went with my sincere reads:

Light Village: Polly, TUN
Village Probably: TOW, Triple B
Would Like To Think Village: Spirit

I felt a bit eh about your run and dump TUN vote but it's honestly kinda at the point where it's PoE for me. Polly and TUN, and to a lesser extent, TOW did really Villagery things. I trust Aet on Triple B more than I trust me on Triple B but if forced to revise (assuming the game doesn't end after Striker dies and you flip Village), I'd probably rethink Triple B over TOW but I am absolutely refusing to revise anyone in a higher tier until we get there.

I never read Dragonsteel Prime. Should I?

@Kasimir great, then you can guess. I’ll PM the word to @The Unknown Order.

I don't think you need to PM anyone the word. It's not necessary, this is for fun and no one believes you're going to cheat for a game of fun thread hangman  

[BigBadBagsworth He/him/his]

*shrugs*

Onkeydonkey then. Who wants to guess?

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

I'll guess!

[BigBadBagsworth He/him/his]

@The Unknown Order But I sent you a PM with the word in it that I can’t rescind!

If you want, I can change to a different valid 6 letter word you don’t know that doesn’t have R, S, or E.

Nah, it's fine.
