Quick Fix Game 26: Stop the Madness

[Sony]

@_Stick_ I think Bard has a long forum post on his impressions of the game so far on page 12 of the entire game thread  

It seems like one of the Lovers is killed now, correct?

Yes. But the other Lover is still alive? Possibly turned SK? Let's see who dies this round. If we get more than 1 killed then probably safe to say we'd be dealing with another elim. Aman, it would be great to hear from you now to shed some light. Don't want to start an unnecessary witch hunt <3

[Herowannabe he/him]

Hmm, yes, Haelbarde died but @Amanuensis didn't. I don't know what to make of that- I promise that those two were the ones I picked to be lovers. I don't have any way to prove it but I don't have any reason to lie about it either. Genuinely perplexed here. 

 

I wonder if perhaps Haelbarde's death triggered Aman's moment of clarity?

[A Budgie she/her]

I'm currently wondering if the 'kitchen catching fire' could be a hint to somthing...
Anyway, we really need Aman to tell us what's going on with them.
Also, do we know why Hael died? He didn't mention having the doll...so it looks like he might have been eliminated to kill off two people at once? But in that case, why not kill off Aman when they mentioned they were a lover way back?

Thank you.

I still think there's one specific owner of the doll that we need to lynch. By 'owner' i don't mean the players 'holding' the doll -lynching seonid didnt do anything. What I mean by that is someone who's controlling it, or 'triggering' it, I suppose. By the looks of how getting a tied lynch went, I'm a little suspicious of Hero. Alv died by accident. Or did he? Unless the requirement for a lynch is more than one vote or something, this is suspicious. Now we have hael dead but his apparent lover still lives which is odd. This makes people suspicious of hero. Buuttt he probably isnt the doll owner, assuming there is one, because I dont see why he'd make the doll kill hael and make players suspicious of him. It's probably the doll owner trying to frame him? Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and hero really is evil. As for why Aman isn't dead, i dunno...Maybe there's a protect role or something that we arent aware of? Cant think of any other explanations at the moment. 

[Herowannabe he/him]

Well, I don't know what to say in my defense. Like I said earlier, I can't actually prove any of my claims since apparently killing one lover doesn't kill the other. Even my death won't reveal anything to you.

He most certainly did not die by accident. I voted for him and got him lynched because at the time he was pushing for a tie vote in order to get Aman- the scapegoat- killed along with (as far as we knew at the time) Haelbarde- his lover. 

So yeah, sure, lynch me. I'm curious what the dead doc has figured out about this game anyway. herowannabe  

Edit: PS. If there is anyone out there with a corpse-scanning role, don't bother wasting an action on my corpse if you have any other targets. I haven't been lying about anything I've said this game.

[Stick. she/her]

Oops, sorry. I just skimmed the thread and saw alvs name on red and assumed you were going to for tie as well. My bad.

I've already said that I don't think lynching you will solve the game so i am not voting for you.

[Amanuensis he/him]

I've sadly got nothing to add right now  I'm pretty clueless. No idea why I'm still alive, no new Moments of Clarity since becoming the Scapegoat. Sorry to disappoint ya'll xD

Sorry, all. Cycle is over and has been for a bit. New cycle coming shortly.

QF26: Cycle 12

"The Heron" frowned when he saw Horatio's mangled body. He knew that meant a second death was soon to follow. Looking down at the body, he was surprised to see cut marks around the neck.

When the second death didn't happen, his frown deepened. "But why," he asked himself.

He watched as the mob started casting him glances, and by the time the crowd came for him he was resigned to his fate.

Herowannabe was lynched!

Okay, I haven't had a moment of clarity yet. Has anyone had any status changes they wish to share?

[Stick. she/her]

Well. That was uneventful.

Nothing

[Sami she/her]

Nope

I feel like we're just going to get cluelessly killed off one by one until the game ends 

Is it something we're doing that's causing it?

We have tried lynching, we have tried not lynching, we have tried to kill the doll holder and a doll holder has tried various actions with the doll.

The random kills are every other cycle (unless I've missed a cycle somewhere) which kind of looks like a "day/night" thing going on but we are getting extra lynches. 

There has been a claim for a magistrate which implies there should be someone worthy of detaining. There may be an elim team, but I think it will be very small, or we are dealing with a lone SK.

Of course, I could be completely wrong  

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Well we've had a role scanner and a detainer role, so I agree with lemonelon that that implies someone among us is working against the village. I don't have any strong suspects, but back at the start of the game, I pm'd Rebecca and she never responded to me. I guess I'm mildly suspicious of Stick's last couple of posts. But...not really. xD

I can't vote, but if I could, I'd vote on one of them I suppose.

[A Budgie she/her]

Gosh. This is...not going so well. We really shouldn't have killed off our only allignment scanner.
On a related note, does anyone know who has the doll now?

[Sony]

After reading some of the earlier cycles, I'm a little suspicious of Aman. 

He votes to lynch himself in the first cycle, but doesn't really give a reason besides "just because." 

Then he doesn't die when there was no lynch, even though that's supposedly how the scapegoat role dies. (Yes, I know Wilson could have just said the wrong information or was lying about the role.... but that still doesn't make Aman not suspicious.) 

Finally, nothing happens to him when his lover dies? I assume something would happen... 

Although, Rebecca not answering Lopen's PM is interesting...

I'm not voting yet, just spouting out some of my opinions. I want to hear what others think. 

 

[Lemonelon]

Aman because I'm genuinely worried we have created a SK and that time they voted for themselves was just a bit iffy <3

Were you like waiting for me to start posting again just so you could say that? XD 

@Amanuensis do you have any clue why you're still alive? Do you know if you were protected last turn?

At this point I'm reaching for anything that might remotely be suspicious, so I got a little paranoid of one of your last posts, but then I looked over it again when I was making my post, and I really didn't think there was anything there, but I just left it in cause why not?

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

Oh wow so Hero makes me feel bad about lynching him and no nothing coming out of it >.<

Fair

You have(had?) the Teacher role, right? Could someone explain that role to me? Is it passing among players or staying with one? Something about not being able to vote? 

[Jondesu he/him]

Aman, I'd feel bad about this if you hadn't survived till cycle 12 already, but I'm worried about the exact same thing others have said, about you becoming a SK following the Lover's death (which of course you wouldn't reveal to us), or even perhaps the continued life of one lover perhaps causing more difficulty.  If you were both still alive I'd leave you alone, but this seems like a legitimate approach to solving this game.

That said, anyone who's been pointing out Aman's behavior from before (voting on himself), that…doesn't really connect, if you think he's been turned into an Elim or SK.  I guess if you think he was all along, it makes sense, but I feel like some people were kinda saying they thought both things, which doesn't add up to me.

[Amanuensis he/him]

Amanuensis.

EDIT: I don't think there's eliminators, for the record. I revealed myself as a lover because I wanted to bait them into attacking me. I wasn't attacked, so obviously there's not a group with the win condition to outnumber or eliminate villagers. Whatever our 'opposition' is, it's non-traditional, and it may very well just be RNG. Whoever gets the doll next, I recommend you give it to the Scapegoat after me, since we haven't tried that yet and as far as we know those are the only two roles that existed from the beginning. I have no idea why I didn't die with Hael, the only options there are Hero lied, he was trolled by the GMs, or someone has been protecting me without saying anything, which is pretty pointless tbh.

Obviously I'm not very invested in this game. I've been on vacation for about a week and will be so for another, so it really doesn't make a difference to me if I live or die. The reason I voted for myself Day One was just an experiment. I didn't expect anything out of it, but I figured there was a chance it could trigger some kind of hidden mechanic or grant me an ability or win condition. Probably just a coincidence I became the Scapegoat after, but who knows. Certainly not me. Maybe Elbereth, but I'm not even sure of that

I looked through all the write ups and there's no real clues. I saw a couple instances of loud noises and someone having a "Eureka!" moment (I think) but there was no explanation, so I'm guessing it may have to do with someone using or obtaining a role? I recommend everyone looking through them to find out which cycle and investigating that.

That's about all my thoughts. Good luck everyone.
