Not April Fool's WW I: Bermuda Playground

[BourgeoisJerry]

Jeri waits at the bus stop for several hours before finally realizing that it's part of a giant train set, and that no bus is coming. Stupid playground for giants. Resigned to her fate, Jeri trudges back to her hiding place for the night.

...did you miss the multiple times flat_footed mentioned I was voting for them?

((I was skimming through the thread looking for red text. The post where you voted for flat_footed had two votes in it, but when I saw the first one crossed out I ignored the rest of the post and moved on.))

[Silent_Interim]

....well, this has been a delightful train wreck. I'm... almost sorry to have missed most of the worst of it.

[BourgeoisJerry]

At least sanity should be restored tomorrow. It looks like joke lynches will no longer be tolerated.

[PopeLinus1]

You should probably double check on that, because I'm fairly certain someone did.

Also, people generally don't post after death except maybe a quick goodbye/good luck message.

Then goodbye and good luck.

Oh and I double checked all the messages sent about this game, nothing but the standard people trying to manipulate me to do what the want.

[Requilac]

The game hasn't ended yet, so that means that all of the Illuminati members have not found each other. If any remaining Illuminati members out there, we need you to complete the plan. Otherwise, we go back to the state as normal, which is a state of confusion with absolutely no good evidence as to who an actual wolf is. Now is probably a good time before any more illuminati die.

End Night 2

Another night, another bout of strange weather hitting the playground. Darkness looms, and around every corner is a shadow waiting to kill you. Everyone is on edge, and no one gets much sleep. The night is full of plotting and planning, scheming and also a little killing.
Somewhere, two shadowy figures face off. A few others notice from a distance, but their identities are obscured by the dark. A hand is raised. A loud bang pierces the night. Then a scream. The scream is from somewhere else, though. As everyone turns to find the source, one of the shadowy figures slumps to the ground, clutching his chest.

When the morning comes, two bodies are found. One, a wisened old man whose advice everyone had heeded. The other a younger man, who some recognize as having come along to try to find missing family members. As the two are put to rest, the mourning man's body bursts into flames. This time, no one is surprised. Another has passed, another will come.

Spoiler: Results

Show

Requilac was killed. He was the Wise Old Man, a townie.
Logic was killed. He was a member of the Mourning Family, a townie.
Logic was also the head of the Illuminati. The mantle has been passe

Begin Day 3

You have 72 hours

[Xihirli]

I feel like we're not super close to hitting some wolves, but maybe one of the secret chats is weeding them out.

Right now all I know is that Murska is being much quieter than I've ever seen him. Are you trying to evade notice? You are a massive eye of green flame.

[Caerulea]

Nooo! Not Logic! We came here to find a family member, and now I have lost you! What cruel, cruel, world.

(Logic and I were the Masons).

[Xihirli]

No Lynch everybody is Illuminati.

[flat_footed]

Xihirli, in case everyone isn't.

[Caerulea]

flat_footed, because Xihirli said they were and would never lie.

[BourgeoisJerry]

Placeholder vote for Fleeing Coward while we work out the Illuminati situation.

[Ramsus]

I'm just going to double down on my uselessness/fun times and vote to lynch lynching.

[Silent_Interim]

No lynch, I guess? I'm pretty sure we're all Illuminati.

Full credit to Duck, I didn't see this coming.

[Murska]

I mean, no reason not to lynch people while we're trying to gather our secret group. Xihirli for voting for me and being a wolf.

[Xihirli]

I'm in charge of our night kill. As long as we're gathering Illuminati I won't be shooting it. I can't say the same about whichever one of us is my successor.

[Elenna]

...you know what, I'm willing to believe at this point that everyone is Illuminati. Also I want to see what happens if we lynch lynching.

[Xihirli]

Down for lynching the concept of lynching.

[BourgeoisJerry]

Okay, for the one of you who hasn't yet joined the party here's what's happening: every single living player except for you has claimed Illuminati. The only other players who haven't claimed Illuminati are Cuthalion, who died before Requilac put out the call, and Logic, who was targeted by our vigilante for not being in the network but turned out to be our second leader.

Two members of the Illuminati have outed themselves as wolves so we've got two easy lynches if more night kills happen. Well, easy if the bandwagon against lynching doesn't succeed. It's possible there are a few non-Illuminati in the game, but it seems likely that we are all Illuminati, in which case the game will end as soon as we all realize that and join in a chorus of kumbaya. If you're still not part of the club by the end of this phase there's a very real chance you'll be targeted by the next night-kill. I'm sure most of us would prefer not to see a basket of puppies get murdered, but after we lynch lynching there won't be much we can do about it.

Edit: Okay, that came off a bit more threatening than I meant it to. I think most of us are ready to end this game without any more bloodshed. I was just being overly dramatic.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Sorry- I just had a long night. I guess I claim now? Does it matter?

[Xihirli]

A lot. It matters a lot.

[Caerulea]

All of our problems began by lynching something. Therefore, lynching.

[BourgeoisJerry]

If this doesn't work and the game continues into the night phase, I suggest that we all create clear skies. Finding out which of us truly are Illuminati may become easier once all is clear.

[kgato503]

Technically, BasketOfPuppies has not claimed.

[flat_footed]

Technically, BasketOfPuppies has not claimed.

Excellent point. Tanar has not claimed there as well.

[BourgeoisJerry]

Excellent point. Tanar has not claimed there as well.

He's part of the network, so he'll probably get to it soon enough. Anyway, for BoP: Xihirli is the third player appointed leader of the Illuminati. He has asked all members of the Illuminati to go to his QT and say "I am a member of the Illuminati." So far you and Tanar Aerdoth are the only ones not to do so. I would post a link to the QT myself, but...

To be able to post links or images your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 2 posts.

Please remove links from your message, then you will be able to submit your post.

I'm pretty confident I have posted more than twice by this point, but who am I to argue with the playground? I'll send you a PM.

I don't think Structured Games counts towards that total, just like we cannot roll dice here.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Sure. I’m the seer and I scried Tanar as a wolf night one. I scried Ramsus as town last night.

I’m not a he.

[kgato503]

Thank you BasketOfPuppies.

Meh, no offense Supreme Leader Xihirli, but if we can't get the Illuminati thing figured out today, then I am still going to work towards my other win condition, namely getting rid of the wolves.
