Be Excellent To Each Other

It's Curiosity's turn in the chair this time, no matter what Jock does to him, he can't stop Curio from giggling like a girl.
In between the fits of girlish laughter, Curio blurts out "I'm a kidnapper, I'm a kidnapper! But I don't know where Kima is, we split up and she is no longer with me"
"I can tell you something though, you have 4 days until we kill her"
Giggle.
"Good luck"


<camera pulls back, in slides a scene with Goddess Jasmine, she is sitting at her desk and spies a box of chocolates that weren't there before. Nobody will notice if she has just one, a little one, maybe one of these ones that smells of almonds... [cough, cough, splutter, erk]>

Goddess Jasmine was a CTU Agent

<bottom left corner of the screen we see Kima still bound in the back of a van, a shadowy figure is taking potshots out of the window at pedestrians, Alberto is unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time>

Alberto was a Townie

<bottom right corner of the screen reveals the bomb. It is showing 5 and still counting down.>

Actions sent to me by 10pm Friday please If Jock interrogates sooner than that, then the next day will start sooner than the deadline if all actions are in, and I get a chance to log on and sort it all out, otherwise the deadline will stick.

Can a mod sort the dead thread please.

Well that's less than ideal. I guess we already had a deadline of day 6 anyway because of the bomb, but now two different groups to chase for it.

Russ, anything?

That was a bad "night".

For purely selfish reasons, I hope Russ investigated me

For the good of the town, I hope he didn't.

Ohhh , new information in the rules section



I guess we're waiting to see what Russ has found out tonight but the multiple deaths each night are really cutting through the people left !

Intriguing.

Two more goodies down At least with Curio's interrogation we've learned there are more kidnappers apart from him, and the new info pointed out means we can keep Kima alive longer by finding the others. I guess it was a given there'd be more than one, but good to have it confirmed.

Whoever the serial killer (hitman?) is, he's so far targeted a terrorist and a CTU Agent. With a dwindling number of people left, should we be focusing on him too in case he takes out more goodies? I assume he's hitting at random.

Sorry, misremembered - hitman has targeted a townie, not a terrorist. That's two goodies down by his hand, then, not one of each as I first thought.

The CTU agents should have been blocking people each night and as there have been kills each time should have an idea of who are some notbad people if needs be.

However, last night I investigated Squirt and found him to be also a very bad person indeed.

Hmm, now it starts to get really interesting...

GJ may have been the only CTU agent, though. And since she's dead we have no idea who she blocked and why.

No, but they can talk to the head of CTU.

Not really - I'm plain old vanilla, so Russ would confirm that. But if he investigates me, he misses the chance to catch a baddie.

How convenient... I guess there's only one way to tell, even if it does risk you having told the truth and us missing out on a bad guy! Which we may well do anyway, if he investigates someone else who also turns out to be on the good side

Given Russ's choices so far I'm willing to just let him investigate who he wants :-)

Is there anything else we want to cover 'today' while we still have the chance ?

And while we're on the subject , if Russ does investigate a 'good' person i'm not sure its worth him saying - given there looks to be two different bad factions - Russ saying X is good reduces the chances of the baddies accidentally hitting each other - however if the CTU head is gone then it may well be worth Russ saying what he's found at that stage (since he'll be dead the next night) will need to be a bid of a judgement call.

Hmm, yes, good point.The more the goodies can stay hidden the better, so they can't be bumped off too easily!

It's convenient for what I posted to fit in with what I also posted?

I know the timing has been a little off from Troopers initial plan , but this day started yesterday afternoon but we seem to have a lot of people just staying silent.

I know that some of them wont be caring whats going on , and some will be trying to stay below the radar (for both good and bad roles) but not talking / not interacting does not work for the town.

Using Grim...'s counter - 4 people have not even posted yet

Including squirt, who's been quite firmly accused.

I'm not silent. As a concerned and patriotic citizen, I am watching with interest as the events unfold.

(Side note, the lack of voting makes the game a little dry for us townies)

I've been playing pooter games! And I've only just got into work (despite a 9am start).

So, erm, that Grim..., aye? Hmmm?

Of course, there can still be voting. I'm more than happy to interrogate the majority choice.

It shouldn't - and the way to make it not is to talk , actually theres nothing wrong with 'voting' - it doesn't do anything but lets people know what your thinking and who you do / dont trust

(It will be worth talking over after the game but i understand the concern - my question would be what would be happening right now if Mr Russell had not come forward?)

Yes DavPaz, each day becomes more like a Day 1 crapshoot.

If I don't keep finding baddies the game'll perk up a bit I'm sure.

The ones getting bumped off each night seem to be 1) the most vocal and 2) the quietest. It's like they're taking one from the top and one from the bottom whittling us down.

Hang on, not everyone can be a townie.

So that's Davpaz and Grim..., anyone else want to pretend to be a townie?

I reckon there's four townies, maybe five.

Four people have not posted yet today.

And that's what you get for talking.

Just checking that 'today' is the contents of this thread (which started yesterday afternoon) not posted since 00:01 this morning ?

If your saying you'll get stupid stuff (seriously - who apart from Mr Russ is going to claim as the mafia don ?) then yes , but accusations / discussions / 'stuff' will give more information for the rest of the game - I notice that Squirt is still not communicating with us - that may well be because he doesn't trust himself enough that he's not going to give out anything accidentally - its safest for him to go silently to the interrogation chair.



Why ?

What are you using to get to that number ?

Lies. I can only assume that Mr Russell's investigation has been nobbled by some sort of crooked FBI agent / CTU insider on the take. Or maybe someone playing a political game, who wants the serial killer to win. Who knows.

Squirt is innocent!

Sorry, Squirt. While I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden role that can affect the results of Russ' investigations, it would seem a bit unfair. Jock, strap this bastard down and make him squeal.

If you want to RUIN THE ILLUSION, then yes, today = this thread. Obviously.


No, I'm saying that if you talk you'll be accused of being a baddy.

Russ' character is the one character you could pretend to be without anyone being none the wiser, except the real FBI agent. No one has accused Russ of lying so you've got to assume he's the real deal.

Time for Squirt to squirt.

... the red stuff, that is.

Not that weird porno thing, I mean, what the hell is that stuff. It's wee-wee, isn't it? Gross.

That's exactly what a someone with a hidden role would say! Officers, arrest GazChap!

The thought did occur to me that it would be plausible for Russ and Curio to be in cahoots, and to agree for one to sacrifice the other to make the other look like a goodie.

But the lack of a counterclaim, and the pointing-of-the-finger at Squirt, will hopefully confirm that this isn't the case.

It's actually a scientific mystery.

No, really.

It's concentrated parental disappointment

Craster as Jock
Russ as FBI
1 Head of CTU
2 CTU (one of which is a double agent)
1 Terrorists left
1 kidnapper left
4 townies

He's using maths! LIKE A TRRZT!

Protect me CTU! Grim...'s out to get me.

Interesting , i'd have had more kidnappers down and less CTU - since we've already lost one i would have said we only have another 1 - having 1xFBI / Jock / 1xCTU head and 3 CTU seems a very large size for the 'good' team ?

That would make my numbers more like
1 x Jock (Craster)
? x FBI (at least one Russ)
1 x CTU head
? x CTU agent (we've lost one I think theres probably one more or swap this for another FBI)
2 x Kidnappers
1 x Terrorist
Which would leave :
4 x townies

I do wonder if those 'X townies' could also include another character type - also I see we still dont have a win condition for the Kidnappers - given that even if its only Jock and the kidnappers left he cant be killed I wonder how they get to 'win' the game ?

Yeah, I agree more with this, would be a lot to have had 3 CTU as well as the head! So that means only 3 baddies left? Unless we have a double somewhere?

I guess that might be their win state - that they're the only ones left along with Jock? Can't see any other way, given that Jock can't die!

So who's Russ investigating tonight?

I'm thinking Grim... who was double bluffing earlier, while Jock off's Squirt. Vote?

JUSTICE! FREEDOM! LIBERTY! DEATH TO TERROR! WAR ON BROWN PEOPLE!

Jock has been rather quiet lately - let's hope he doesn't miss the deadline.

Also: Surely Kovacs is in danger of being modkilled at this point? I think he made one post on the first day and nothing since.

Jock's here. Jock's just a little redundant while there's actually an identified target to aim at.

Having said that, the part of me that just wants to watch the world burn is tempting me to interrogate Russell. For shits and giggles.

Right then, Squirt! It's a night of Celine Dion and Greek wine for you!

Actions in by 10pm please
