    I feel like generally, with names like that, you can assume the Y acts either as an I or yi sound, whichever makes more sense. So Fleercado Violi (Although I actually like the sound of Vyeoli, but that's a bit hard to say for an English speaker)

    I almost sent you a "You successfully converted Wiz" message.

    Long Game 105 - Aftermath: Just Another Expedition This is the story of an expedition. A journey into a strange wilderness, full of bizarre creatures. It's a story of a Medic, trying to keep that expedition safe, at the expense of themselves. It's the story of a Linguist, searching through the words that tell the story of this Forgotten Coast, and finding only lies. It's the story of a Surveyor, searching tirelessly, without pause, and only finding the truth at the last moment. It's a story of failure, because Area X always wins. Everyone is always replaced. Nobody ever goes back across that border unchanged. The Linguist returned utterly broken. The Surveyor never returned, living in Area X until the end of their days. The others? Some would say they never returned. What returned merely shared their faces, their memories. Perhaps you think that's enough, perhaps you think it was always Theseus’ Ship. But there will be another expedition. There always is. And it always ends the same. ~ The Wandering Wizard has completed his win condition just in the nick of time! Everyone has been replaced by doppelgangers! A new rule has been revealed: Housekeeping: <snip> Everyone will win, how they win is the question. TJ completed the Return win condition on Day Four. He also completed the Return Anew win condition Day Eight, making him the only double winner. Be more like TJ. The Wandering Wizard completed the Discover the Secret of Area X win condition on Day Eight. He also discovered it on Day Seven, so he was much more efficient than the rest of you. Everyone else completed the Return Anew win condition on Day Eight! Ashbringer, who was the first doppelganger, and saw them through til the end. Quivil, who should have been the first doppelganger (Ash stole their glory with an unlucky heal), and single handedly executed everyone who stood in their way. Illwei, who valiantly took up Polly’s mantle, and would have completed the Escape Along the Coast win condition, if they had remembered to put their action in. RBM, who chugged along, exploring until they discovered Discover the Secret of Area X win condition on Day Three. They also would have completed it if they had remembered to send an action in. Hoid, who spent half the game hypnotized by Polly and the other half collecting information from descriptions of my writeups. While I admire your effort, they were fully irrelevant. And Polly, you didn't make it all the way through, but you'll be remembered for dragging Hoid along by his ear then making Illwei deal with the consequences. ~ I can't speak for the rest of you, but I really enjoyed GMing this game. Congratulations to everyone, and thanks for playing the madness that was this game. My GM thoughts can be found scattered throughout the Spec doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZiiDeGhn2VAsAuxbi4m8fooxcUoyfeVpyEVwfxsCz8o/edit?usp=drivesdk I might make a post to sum them up, but I wouldn't count on it. I've done enough writing for this game.

    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. ~ LG105 Day Seven has begun! Illwei was sent to Central. Psychologist: They have been tasked with analyzing the mental stability of the expedition. This player will be able to make another player explore the same location as them.

    Long Game 105 - Night Seven: Speeding Up You return to camp, weary from your travels. You sit down to eat and discuss, but it feels later than it should be. The moon sits higher on the sky than it has any right to. You better discuss quickly. ~ Welcome to LG105 Night Seven! No-one has died. No public rules have been discovered. Things to Note: That's enough people that I'm just going to do it, especially considering other factors, this turn is being shortened to 24 hours!

    Long Game 105 - Day Six: He's Back? You have a relatively normal night. You discuss with the others, but, ultimately, don't send anyone back to Central. Central, however, had other ideas. You awake to a piercing scream. You rush out of your tent, adrenaline pumping. You find the Linguist, looking normal, if perhaps a little weary from his travels. “Doppelganger!” someone yells. They assure you they are the same as ever, and offer to submit to the full range of tests. That dissuades your fears. For now. ~ LG105 Day Six has begun! No one was sent to Central… Slim ShadyThe Linguist (TJ) has returned from Central! Votecount: Things to Note: This is in big and bold so people other than Ash see it: Would everyone like to shorten next Night to 24 hours?

This turn will end at 12:30 in two days, on Sunday the 11th of May. I've noticed some concerns, so I'm putting out the official calls, would everyone like to start shortening Nights to 24 hours? This one I can't, but I can start afterward. Players:

    Long Game 105 - Night Five: Explanation I went to the Lighthouse today. I found something. I was lied to. We were lied to. This is the last I write in this journal. I will head along the coast.
