    Woo hoo! who would be the tastiest?
  2. Herowannabe
    Ooh ooh can I play too? based on what you just said, if I ate all the players remaining in the game, how many Eliminators would I have eaten (counting Drought as the first one)?

    Vote tally: Ornstein (1) - Elbereth Elbereth (3) - Yitzi, Herowannabe, Queensteph @Ornstein and @OrlokTsubodai, care to chime in? In all likelihood, at least ONE of you is a villager, and withholding your vote is not helping. The "Bad at Math" talent is still out there somewhere, and if the Eliminators (assuming more than 1 are still alive) have it they could get married and potentially pull a hefty vote swing with it.

    Herbert perked up when he heard his name being spoken, and lumbered over to his new in-laws. They gazed up at him in terror as he began speaking. "Pardon me, but I could help but overhearing your conversation. Indeed I am a Smedry, although I clearly have no human-ancestry. How can this be, you ask? It really is quite simple. If you think about it, you will see that there is only one explanation." Herbert paused for dramatic effect, but the Randuir parents just gazed at him with wide, horror-struck eyes. "I was adopted, of course! By none other than Josiah B. Smedry the third." Herbert grinned, showing rows of razor sharp teeth, and Mama-Randuir promptly fainted. "Oh my," Herbert said. "You mustn't be afraid. I have a strict policy of not eating relatives. I find that it creates far too much drama at the family reunions." "N-no," Papa-Randuir stammered. "It's not th-that. You have a... a..." He raised a shakey hand to point at Herbert's chest, and Herbert looked down. There was a massive spear rammed through his chest and protruding out his back. Blood was getting everywhere, staining his tuxedo. "Ah yes, I had noticed that. It's fine, really. We Micropachycephalosaurs are so big that it takes a lot longer for blood to reach our brains. And nerve impulses, too. I really don't notice the spear at all, but it will probably sting in the morning." Herbert grinned and slapped Papa-Randuir on the back (toppling the man over), then turned and rejoined the party. His appetite had returned, and he knew just who to eat this time. yeah, Elbereth, not buying it. Not a single word. Queensteph had one HUGE piece of evidence in her favor that you do not. Simply put, she didn't vote for an all-but-confirmed-good player last cycle, and you did. Also, she had the power to betray us with her power and get Yitzi killed, easy as pie, but she didn't. the only question now is whether or not you have any accomplices left or if you are the last Hushlander.

    Well I really want to vote alongside @Yitzi2 or @randuir but I only have a few minutes left before the opera starts and I'm unavailable . So I'll vote for Jedal unless one of those two else speaks up in the next 3 minutes. EDIT: Ninja'd. Good to know I'm on the same page as Yitzi though.
  6. Herowannabe
    Good to know. ornstein . Who do you suggest then?
  7. Herowannabe
    @queensteph I really want to keep trusting you but your logic is... well, terrible. We just established that I am good a couple posts ago. Rand was ATTACKED by the Eliminators and that's why he's dying. Rand (along with Yitzi) was the driving force behind both BrightnessRandiant and Droughtbringer's deaths. I suppose there is a microscopic possibility that it's some elaborate ruse to gain trust but really, what's the point? Before Rand and Yitzi set this in motion the Eliminators were a cycle or two away from a perfect game. Yes Rand and I got married. We've been discussing things in PMs all day along with Yitzi because we know that it's almost certain that we're all village. Most of our plans will remain in that PM for now because we don't want the Eliminators to know what we're doing. Luckily for you, Queensteph, I think you are a villager trying to make sense of things, not an eliminator trying to cast suspicion on virtually elim-proof villagers. Anyway, moving on. We need to vote. BR and Drought were both fairly active, so I think that there are an eliminator or two floating around in the "lurker" region. As such I'm going to cast a vote for Ornstein for now. I'll try to check in one more time but I'm going to the opera in an hour so that will be it for me this cycle.
  8. Herowannabe
    No Problem. I tend to be a little reckless (is that the right word? Wild maybe?), especially near the beginning of the game, because I like to stir up trouble and see how people react. C3 I think is when I called out DroughtBringer for being a librarian and I had a couple odd votes, so I don't blame you for suspecting me.
  9. Herowannabe
    Awesome, thanks for your quick reply. Your story checks out with things that have been said in the past (I just finished a read through of the past few days) so I am inclined to trust you. Also, it should be pretty clear that I am village: 1. I had the dancing power- a broken ability to give to the Eliminators to start with 2. I just used that power to kill an eliminator. 3. @randuir and @Yitzi2 can confirm that I did so at their PM-suggestions. If I were an eliminator, that would be a very elaborate and meaningless ruse to go through to gain a bit of trust, when instead I could have just married a team mate, give them the dancing-power, and we could have killed two people and instantly won the game.
  10. Herowannabe
    A couple questions for you right now that don't require any searching/analysis: Who started your PM? Who proposed marriage? Who was the original smedry with the tripping power?
  11. Herowannabe
    Even better.
  12. Herowannabe
    You really should. Just make sure you imagine a giant dinosaur doing all of Richard Simmon's moves in a cramped library/archive.
  13. Herowannabe
    Lol although if anything I would have thought you'd kill me in retaliation for posting a link to an old Richard Simmons dance video.
  14. Herowannabe
    Sweet, it's nice to see that his talent for tripping was no match for my killer dance moves (get it? See what I did there?) EDIT: @queensteph, any comment on your husband's death and his hushlander ties?
  15. Herowannabe
    Herbert stretched and yawned, finally waking up from his nap. As a dinosaur, his naps tended towards the long side; this past one had lasted 2 days. Slowly, he stood on wobbly legs, and his stomach rumbled loudly. He was hungry! Not surprisingly, though. The only things that he had eaten in the past week was a bit of wedding cake. He looked around for someone who looked tasty, and spied Master Namer Smedry cowering behind a bookshelf, while several other individuals searched for him. From the sounds of it, the were looking to forcibly put Master Namer into a coma. Well, if nobody likes the guy anyway, then nobody is going to miss him if I eat him, right? Herbert thought to himself. Herbert let out a blood curdling roar and lunged for Master Namer. Unfortunately the roar tipped off Master Namer and the little man dodged Herbert's lunge. Herb swiped out with a claw but missed again, then snapped his teeth but it was no good. The little man was too spry, and Herbert was too stiff from his long nap. So Herb popped his favorite 80's workout video into the VCR and began his morning stretch and work-out routine. For the next 10 minutes Herb hitchhiked, went round the world, he exited, slid, cheered, sweated, rumbled, twisted, and danced. As he did, his tail smashed into walls, his leaps caused his head to smash into the ceiling, his slides toppled bookcases, and in the end, his clawed foot came down on top of the frantic Master Namer Smedry. Feeling much better about how his morning was going, Herbert picked the little man out of the debris and gobbled him up, then went in search of everybody else. Apparently they had all fled when he had started his workout routine. Herb couldn't fathom why though. To be perfectly clear, I open my Music box, begin to dance, and Kill Master Namer Smedry (Droughtbringer)

    Hey all Busy day today with Mother's Day stuff, so I haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread but I wanted to pop on long enough to post something. I'll work on catching up with the thread as soon as possible, and I see that several people have PM'd me and are waiting for responses. I'll do all that as soon as I can but it probably won't be tonight. In the meantime, can someone please give me a quick recap of the past two cycles? Anything important that I missed? Anybody I should be watching closely and/or voting for?
  17. Herowannabe
    *Pops in long enough to see if he is about to get lynched or if his vote is needed anywhere* *looks around* *goes to bed* (Also, X-Wing Tournament went really well today. I took 1st place out of 30 people. Woot! Now I really am going to bed.)
  18. Herowannabe
    Just popping in to say that I won't be able to post much of anything this cycle. I am running an X-Wing miniatures game tournament tomorrow, and by the time it finishes the cycle will be over and my brain will be fried anyway. As such I'm going to refrain from voting this cycle, though if anyone desperately needs my attention for anything I'll try to check the site in about 6 (ugh) hours when I wake up. Real quick before I go, @queensteph So I just checked and I DID create that PM and sent it to... absolutely nobody. Either I somehow forgot to add recipients or there was a glitch with my phone or the site and it never reached anyone other than me. It did send, which was weird, just I am the only one who can see it. I just sent a PM to @A Joe in the Bush to see if he will allow me to add you (Queensteph) to the PM, at which point you can confirm that I'm not lying about this.
  19. Herowannabe
    To be fair, Queensteph is voting for me. We wouldn't want an incomplete vote tally. I don't mind sharing that cycle 1 I started a PM with Cloudjumper and this cycle I started one with Queensteph. I decided that this game (at least to start out with) I wanted to reach out to newer players who may not be getting many PM invites. So far neither of them has responded, though Cloudjumper has read my PM and I saw him reading the thread, hence my accusation of lurking on him. I'm not going to share who, if anyone, has started PMs with me. That's for them to decide whether or not to reveal.
  20. Herowannabe
    Well that and Drought basically confirmed that it is a scanning role because he said he's still searching for other librarians. "Aha! Jolly good! I was right, you are a librarian!" Herb bellowed, causing heads to turn. Herb was so happy that he did a little caper and forgot all about eating Droughtbringer, who slipped away while the dinosaur was distracted. Also, good plan. I wish you luck. Also, I've notice Cloudjumper lurking but he has yet to post anything in the game since it started. Being completely inactive is regrettable, but lurking without posting is supicious. Care to explain yourself @cloudjumper?
  21. Herowannabe
    Drought is as good a candidate as any I have right now, so why not? No point in waiting, cycles are only 24 hours long so the sooner we get votes cast for someone/anyone the better we'll be able to analyze and discuss them. So in short, I want to get the voting going. And it's already working! See? You've already cast a vote on me! also, I just noted this in the GM's Writeup: I take offense at that (jokingly)! Dinosaurs are people, too! Okay well actually no they're not. In fact the particular dinosaur we're talking about here is more inclined to eat people than associate with them, but that's besides the point. The point is that the terms "bachelor" and "bachelorette" don't apply just to human beings. Dinosaurs have legitimate marital statuses too you know! speaking of which, this particular dinosaur is a bachelor and he is more than willing to entertain offers of marriage / exclusive plutonic friendship. And think if, if you marry Herb, whether or not you win or lose the game, whether or not Herb betrays and eats you, you will go down in SE history as the first (and probably the only) person to ever get married to a dinosaur. That's pretty cool, right? And if you happened to share any smedry powers you may have with said dinosaur, well that would be a sweet bonus. I promise I will not use any such powers for evil purposes. EDIT: ninja'd by @DroughtBringer Eh, you make a fair point about the trolliness of the scenarios, but I notice that you still haven't denied being a librarian, which leads me to believe I'm right about you either being a librarian or wanting us to think you are.
  22. Herowannabe
    You'd have no reason to wonder if everybody was a librarian if you weren't a librarian yourself. I notice that your short list of possible GM-trolling-with-the-librarian-role-scenarios didn't include the possibility that nobody is a librarian. Hence my deduction. Either you're a librarian or you want us to think you are for some reason. Edit: of course, this all depends on whether or not the librarians start the game knowing who each other are. If they did, then obviously my decuction would be stood on its head. But I don't think so- I was always under the impression that the Librarian was a watered down scanning role.
  23. Herowannabe
    Herb had been planning on eating that Shem fellow, but then someone went and threw a wedding! And the one thing in the world that is tastier than people is cake. Herb had barely been able to wait for the Bride and Groom to cut a piece of cake and smash it into each other's faces before he gobbled the whole thing down. It would have been most rude to eat the wedding cake before they had cut it, after all. After that he had promptly taken a nap, and had then awoken to hear the conversation going on around him. Herb decided to interject. "Um, yes. Hello? If I might say a word or two about the Librarians in our midst," he rumbled politely. "It is my opinion that the main advantage of knowing who the other librarians comes not from trying to lynch them right away, but rather it gives you an idea of who to watch. If I were a librarian, I would quietly watch the other librarians closely. Who do they protect? Who do they try to lynch? Who is trying to protect/lynch them? That's the kind of information that- once a Hushlander is found- will allow you to deduce who their hushlander companions are. "Also, Droughtbringer just let slip that he is a Librarian, or he is intentionally trying to trick us into thinking he's a librarian. "Also, he looks tasty. I say we eat him."
  24. Herowannabe
    Putting this in blue because it represent my out of game opinion, unrelated to my role/alignment for this game, but I feel that asking someone to refer specific information from their GM PM like this is on the edges of breaking the spirit of the game. We could ask the same thing of everyone, trying to find someone who slips up by not posting the exact phrasing that is used in someone else's GM PM but that doesn't sound particularly fun to me. @Bridge Boy I for one would not hold it against you in the slightest if you chose to simply say "in an effort to keep to the spirit of the games, I chose not to reveal that information." That being said, I also have no problem with anybody suspecting or lynching Bridgeboy based on what he has posted so far or what he chooses to post in the future. It IS rather suspicious behavior. Herb noticed the shocked look on the face of the girl sitting quietly in the corner with a laptop on her lap. "Ah, I see you have been mislead by librarian propaganda, my dear. You see, while the librarians make a habit of stealing the bones of my cousin dinosaurs, inflating them to outrageous proportions, and then burying them in the ground as a means of misdirection and spreading false knowledge, in the case of my noble species they have chosen to do just the opposite. They shrink the bones of Micropachycephalosaurs to tiny sizes and try to make us out as being a small, unthreatening species. I can assure you that we are quite threatening and dangerous, and I am actually on the smaller side for one of my species. In short, the reputation that the Librarians have given to other dinosaurs as being large, vicious meat-eating machines? Well we Micropachycephalosaurs actually deserve that reputation." Herb licked his lips and turned to Orlok, still gripped in his claws. Herb blinked, looking between Jack and Orlok. Orlok was certainly squirming about and trying his best to participate in the conversation below, but he hadn't actually acknowledged that he was about to be eaten. There was none of the normal screaming and flailing that usually accompanied such an event. "Right-o, sorry about that chap!" Herb said, setting Orlok gently on the ground. Herb looked around for someone else to eat. His gaze fell on Shem Smedry (Seonid), quietly working in a corner by himself. He looked quite tasty.

    There was a loud crash as something massive slammed into the door, followed by a muffled "Ouch!" The door knob rattled and twisted ineffectually for a minute, and then the door creaked and bulged inwards before finally bursting from its hinges. A massive green creature was pressed up against the doorframe- too large to make out through the opening. It shifted and turned until its head was visible. "Good Afternoon. I say, I am sorry about the door," it roared in a British accent. "They just don't make them like they used to. Might I come in?" When nobody objected, the creature pushed its head into the room, followed by an arm. At this point things starting getting tricky. The creature scrabbled and twisted, and after few seconds it managed to squeeze its second arm through the doorway, but now its ribcage was wedged between either side of the doorframe. The creature breathed out all the air in its lungs with a loud "Whhoooogh," then scrambled forward as far as it could. It only made it as far as its hips. The creature gently pulled, strained, shimmied, wiggled, pushed, and pressed, but to no avail. Finally it gave up trying to be delicate and instead just planted its legs and shoved, smashing the sides of the doorframe as it heaved its hips and legs through. After that it's tail followed easily, though the creature was big enough that it had to circle two thirds of the way around the room before its tail finally fit. The creature cleared its throat, and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Herbert, though you may call me Herb. As you can see, I am a proud member of the Micropachycephalosaurus species." Herbert doffed the bowler hat he was wearing. The hat, which was regular sized for a human, looked tiny compared to Herbert's massive bulk. He went on, "All that hullaballoo with the door seems to have worked up my appetite." He reached out a clawed hand, and picked up Orlok by the collar of his coat. "Would it be much of a bother to anyone if I ate this chap?" Out of character stuff: Yay, this is starting already! FYI I'm pretty busy for the next few days, but my schedule should clear up significantly after Saturday. I'll do my best to keep up with the thread and post when I can. Also, day 1 lynches. Yes. For this particular game I am all in favor. It is a quick fix after all- no time to waste talking, just gotta start lynching. And I never did give my customary Contribution Crusade speech before the game began, but this is a quick fix so I don't know how much it will be needed. I'll just give the abridged version now: Everybody signed up for this game to play and have fun. So play the game and have fun. Don't abandon it- that's lame. I of all people understand that life can get busy and following the game can get tedious sometimes, but do what you can, post what you can, when you can, and have a good time with this game. One way or another it will be over in about a week or two, so enjoy it while you can!
