Mad Science! WW

[Lex-Kat]

And, has anybody ever been in a game where Murska has been on your side AND helpful?

Murska, Allysian, and I won Death Note 2 together. Which is why, even though he's screwed me over many times since, I don't like killing him in the first few days without a scry, or as revenge for his role in my death in another game.

Yes, I do revenge point.

[Kroy]

I'm not trying to insult Murska's usefulness. I'm trying to point out that he is constantly changing his story and is very good at manipulating people. It is impossible to tell who's side you're on, so it is easier to just kill you.

Please note that I have no reason to believe that Murska is actually not on team good.

[smuchmuch]

Soirry for being late. didn't notice this game had started before first day ended.

Counterbandwagoning at Murska, since theres already a lot of people on Kroy.

[Murska]

Hm. True - Two bandwagons like this staying close is often just wolves pushing them both.

Anyway, it might be 'easier' to kill me off early every game, but is it 'more entertaining'?

[Reinholdt]

Please note that I have no reason to believe that Murska is actually not on team good.

Then why did you vote for him?

Those are called 'psychic' and 'bodyguard', if you haven't noticed, people.

I wonder why I play when nobody seems to have any sense of humor anymore.

You gotta make humor obvious. Smilies help.
It also didn't help your case that MOST games don't actually name the Seer, Seer and the Baner, Baner. So yeah, that would go right over everyone's head.

And because I'm a bastard, I'm going to throw out a third option.
On Day 1:

Looking for the Wonderflonium Case, the now white-haired young man found himself humming the theme from Stargate even as he kept a wary eye on Murska.

This vote brought Murska to a tie with Billtodamax, leaving the wagons free to go either way.

On Day 2:

I don't believe Murska is a Science Team Member.
Reinholdt's insistience on lynching him, in fact, makes me supect that he is...

This logic doesn't follow at all.
I think The Bushranger might know something we don't. Like who is and isn't on the Science Team.

[Copacetic]

I think Murska is a pretty safe bet.

[PirateMonk]

This logic doesn't follow at all.
I think The Bushranger might know something we don't. Like who is and isn't on the Science Team.

((It seems at least as likely that he scried Murska, as any reasonable person with that power or a suitable item in a game with no interference would do, as that he is on the Science Team, but I guess we don't really have good leads now.))

On a dusty shelf sits a pirated version a Tagliatelleware Enlightened Artificial Intelligence With No Output Except Little Blinking LEDs, which is exactly what it sounds like. It blinks away merrily and contemplates the mysteries of the universe.

[Strategos]

The unexpected sound of boiling liquid seems to fill the air. It's coming from the teapot on the floor which is being tended by the Englishman. He's also managed to conjure up a pitcher of milk, a sugar bowl and an odd assortment of cups and mugs and a variety of teaspoons. He's currently putting some sugar into a mug with a picture of Paddington Bear while perusing over several of the documents that have been scattered across the room. He puts down the paper entitled Zero-point Energy Field Manipulator. And begins to speak.

"I say, did you here that one of the colonies venerates a so-called (the) Bushranger as a hero? I've never been able to understand that personally."

He pours the tea into the mug and sighs. "I do hope that the Dandelion manages to find one of the Watermelons soon, that way we won't have to stumble around in the dark looking for those Villainous Curs." He looks around, suddenly embarrassed. "I'm so sorry for the outburst, I don't know what came over me. Would anyone care for some tea?"

I hadn't considered the former. Huh.

[Lamech]

I switched to the Spidermech Remote Control because I realized that the Portal device would be useless for me. I have been playing a lot of Portal, so I chose it without reading.

And, has anybody ever been in a game where Murska has been on your side AND helpful?

Murska's a great player. He's very helpful if he's on your team. Also a lot of useful stuff is not always obvious in thread.

[Kroy]

Then why did you vote for him?

Because he is one of those people that just makes the game more difficult. Seeing as how I don't have a reason to go after someone else, I chose him.

Plus, I don't think I've ever been on the same side as him in a game.

Sir Digby Chicken-Caeser stumbles into the room, wide eyed and a little rough around the edges.

"What is this lunacy?! I slept for a whole extra day, missing possibly very important events and clues that might lead me to the Hydrate? This must be the work of my Nemesis! Drat, this kind of thing can mean one thing and one thing only...another interesting adventure of Sir Digby Chicken-Caeser!"

Sir Digby then starts running around the room with his bottom lick sticking out and an intense crazy look in his eyes. "Dan-duh-dan, dran-duh-dan, duh-duh-duh-daaa-duh-dahhhh!"

He barrels into Azure Butterfly as he runs about, and carries on past without really noticing.

[Mustiado]

Hmmm. [COLOR="Red"]The Bushranger[/COLOR].

Zero Point thingie.

All this science makes my head hurt.

[Teron]

Something about the first day's events rubbed me the wrong way. I think I'd like to know Lostlittlebear's role.

I'll look for the Phlebotinum in Jar C.

[Heroic]

I'll go for The Bushranger

Gonna look for Phlebotinum in Jar C

[DarkLightDragon]

*DLD gives a cold stare to The Bushranger*

The others have pointed out flaws in your logic. I'm afraid I agree with them.

*DLD briefly glanves over her shoulder at Teron*

Wouldn't we all? Such a thought is no grounds for accusing people, however. While you consider that little tidbit, I shall seek the Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator.

[Mustiado]

Kroy.

Do not question the scientific method.

[The Bushranger]

I'm not on the science team, I'm a good guy. Day 1 point was based on Murska Is Always A Wolf. Based on in-game data I'm pretty sure he's good hence today's point.

[Eloel]

I'm not on the science team, I'm a good guy.

Orly? Changing my vote to The Bushranger

Will strike other in a sec

[Kroy]

Do not question the scientific method.

Isn't questioning part of the scientific method?

[Thufir]

Tired and cranky, the test subjects were inclined to jump at the slightest provocation the second day. It didn’t help that a disembodied voice sounding suspiciously like Billtodamax was occasionally interjecting things like “I found him!” and “FATE!!!” Causing much frustration to all.
“What the hell is going on?!”
“APOLogies. mEntal scans DUring the mime field TesT were saved andthe Test Subject appears TO be GHOSTING in thesystem.”
Meanwhile, the lynching debate was raging on.
“What? Why me?”
“You’re always suspicious.”
“You’ve never met me before! They’ve made you delusional! What about him! Surreptitiously looking for this and then that, trying to avoid notice!”
“I was initially basing my efforts on the techniques I used in Aperture Science testing, which I realised weren’t so applicable here.”
“Actually, you know, that Bushranger guy seems to know a lot about what’s going on.”
“Yeah, you’re right...”
“No! It WAS him! I know it, I’m sure of it! It was Murska! It’s so clear to me now! AAAARRRRGH!”
The bear flung itself forwards at Murska. Moving quickly out of the way, he deftly drew a scalpel from a concealed pocket. However he was unsure quite how to defend himself against an enraged teddy bear, and this hesitation was enough of an opening for the bear to leap onto his arm and wrest the scalpel away. Jumping up to his shoulder, it slashed, a quick dodge just saving Murska and leaving him with only a tear in his shirt, revealing a GeneCo stamp underneath. The next assault he blocked with another hapless test subject, who had the misfortune to be standing behind him, and lost much of his face for his troubles.
After that the others gave a wide berth to the combat, which began to feel almost like a gladiatorial contest. Murska clearly had greater skill, but the bear’s small stature and uncontrolled aggression made it very hard to defend against. After a few more impressive feats of evasion he managed to grab the arm holding his scalpel, but a teddy bear, having no specific joints, can of course bend anywhere, and enough to slash the wrist of someone holding its arm. On being dropped, it was quick to press this advantage, swing wildly but viciously, until Murska was a mass of open wounds and there was blood all around.
Dropping the scalpel, the bear suddenly dropped to its knees, clutching its head and screaming,
“AAAARRRRGH!”
Before collapsing entirely.
“I- I don’t- WHAT just happened?”
“As WaS once said by the GREat Roland, ‘There is NO mind CONtrol, CITizen. Please Go BACK to your Fun.’”
“Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.”
“IT’s quite fuNny, really.”

Summary: Thanks to lostlittlebear being mind-controlled, Murska was lynched. He was an Organ Harvester.
Pahvimato was autolynched. If anyone would like to take over his role, he will return in day 3 having undergone extensive plastic surgery to repair the scalpel damage. Otherwise, I'll reveal his role.
Night 2 Begins now and ends in approximately 38 hours because I'm at a party tomorrow night.

[Reinholdt]

...
Well that was unexpected.
Sooo... what? A secret neutral role maybe?

Also, based on timing and evenness of the wagons, I think it more likely that Kroy or friends of his were responsible for this.

[Murska]

Aw. And after all the work I did, and the vast amount of better targets they had, and the fact that whoever it was must've known I was no threat to them... I just hate people sometimes.

[lostlittlebear]

Okay, just in case I get night-killed tonight, I'm going to be clear. Looking through the item searches, the only people who could have mind-controlled me are cd4 and Azure Butterfly. Considering cd4 voted for Kroy, I bet it's Azure.

Which leaves me with a question: why is Azure trying to protect Kroy? There are no masons in this game - the only people who know each other are the WOLVES.

Take that how you will.

[PirateMonk]

the only people who could have mind-controlled me are cd4 and Azure Butterfly.

Each day I will post a list of items which you may specifically search for, which will give you a greater chance of finding that item (Unless someone already has it). Your searching should be posted in blue.

Flaggellighaerotube Activation Switch: No-one really knows what the flaggelighaerotube is supposed to do. Best guess, it’s supposed to do everything. Each night you will be given a randomised ability (Taken from a selection including some abilities which are not available by any other means).

Phlebotinum in Jar C: This substance has a strange way of providing you with just what you want. The player with the phlebotinum in jar C gets a one time use of any ability in the game they choose.

((Bolding mine, of course.

Edit- Not the names of the items. The other bolding.))

[Kroy]

Just so that people know, I got the Portal Device, despite not searching for it. This means that someone may have an item that they didn't search for.

Just letting you guys can be careful.

[lostlittlebear]

@PirateMonk: Pointed noted. But still, someone wanted to save Kroy, which means Kroy is probably a wolf.

[Copacetic]

Or someone wanted Murska dead. We still don't even know what his role was, does, or what side it was on (If any). I wouldn't be too hasty tossing around those fingers of blame, thank you.

[Eloel]

Assuming LLB is innocent (by now, some assumings need to go through), Kroy does look suspicious. It could be a frame by someone (including LLB) too, I mean, if everyone thinks Kroy is suspicious, there's bound to be mindgames in that.

Sorry, nothing helpful here.

[Kyouhen]

You make a good point. I'm sure there's nothing at all sinister about a role called the Organ Harvester. Nope, nothing at all. A member of Team Good if I ever saw one.
