Not April Fool's WW I: Bermuda Playground

[Elenna]

@kgato, Murska, and flat_footed, we've already got everyone but Tanar posting in the current "leader of the Illuminati" thread. If Xihirli dies we have to do it all again, which seems less than ideal.

[Caerulea]

Well then, let us ask Taner Aerdoth to post.

Xi, while a wolf, is narrator confirmed Illuminati. You claimed wolf and Tanar has been scried as Wolf if we are to believe BoP. There's not been a seer counterclaim, so I'm gonna accept that as the truth. Town moves a step forward if any wolf is lynched today, so I'm fine with moving my vote off of Xihirli and latching it to Tanar Aerdoth.

You make an excellent point. Tanar Aerdoth.

[Silent_Interim]

Sure. Tanar Aerdoth.

[BourgeoisJerry]

I’m not a he.

Sorry about that. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

Anyway, Tanar Aerdoth.

[Elenna]

Cool. Tanar Aerdoth

End Day 3

Another day, another whole lotta finger pointing. This time the pointing is different though. Instead of being suspicious of the Illuminati, everyone's suddenly suspicious of who is not Illuminati. Maybe everyone is Illuminati? Yeah right, seems unlikely.
After logically deciding not to not kill anyone (and not to kill the idea of killing), a target is settled on.
"You don't seem like you're in the Illuminati, and everyone else does."
"Come on, which is more likely? I'm Illuminati or everyone else in this game is?"
With a pile of kindling, some rope, and a match, the majority makes its choice very obvious.

Tanar Aerdoth was killed. She was the Malicious Wolf, a wolf.

Begin Night 3

It will end in 48 hours or when the game ends, whichever comes first.

End Night 3

I mean, you probably know what happened, but still refrain from posting. I will narrate later today.

[Duck999]

With a wolf now dead and gone, nothing much changed, honestly.
Everyone had already to a realization that they weren't the only Illuminati member trying to stop this attempt to infiltrate the playground. Even the werewolves, specifically hired to find and eliminate Illuminati threats to the mission, were entirely Illuminati members.
Suddenly, a quacking fills the air, and the moon is blotted out by a whole lotta ducks. They descend into the camp, coming together and forming a figure everyone immediately recognizes.
I open my mouth to speak.
"So, you figured it out. I expected it would take you guys a little longer, but your paranoia ended up speeding everything up." With this, I glance at the remaining wolves. "Well, I intentionally gathered a group of Illuminati members to explore the playground. Only the upper echelons of the Illuminati know this, but we control this playground. Nothing happens here without our notice. Anyone who gets too close, disappears. It's a big playground, though, and we are short staffed. All of you, however, could really make our jobs easier. What say you?"
I don't say it, but it's pretty clear that the alternative is disappearing into the Bermuda Playground like so many others. Good luck with your new job!

[Xihirli]

Under my leadership, the Illuminati immediately emerged victorious.

It turns out the real April Fools were inside of us all along.

[Duck999]

It turns out the real April Fools were inside of us all along.

Oh yeah, Happy April First everyone!

The real victory was the friends we made along the way.

Also, a brief note: there was originally no head of the Illuminati. The plan was whoever was lynched first would be declared as the head and the first one to vote for them would be the new head, and it would be passed on in the same way. Then you lynched a boat, so there wasn't a head until Night 2. Then the wolves and FC both tried to kill the new head (though FC got vortexed away).

[Silent_Interim]

Well done, Duck. You played us all for fools.

[flat_footed]

Well done, Duck!

Honorable mention to Req for being willing to guide others to a treasure they could not possess.

[BourgeoisJerry]

Then the wolves and FC both tried to kill the new head (though FC got vortexed away).

Oh, I guess that makes more sense. I didn't say it out loud, but the fact that Xihirli had targeted Requilac for murder made me suspect that she couldn't actually be trusted to stop killing us. Requilac's death being an accident fits better with the way things played out.

By the way, why am I still getting overthrown?

[Caerulea]

It was a fun game.

I want to put this in my extended sig. Permission?

[Duck999]

Well done, Duck. You played us all for fools.

*Takes a bow*

Well done, Duck!

Technically, everyone (including Req) won. Anything I said earlier that conflicts with this was a lie.

Oh, I guess that makes more sense. I didn't say it out loud, but the fact that Xihirli had targeted Requilac for murder made me suspect that she couldn't actually be trusted to stop killing us. Requilac's death being an accident fits better with the way things played out.

Req's death wasn't an accident. The wolves knew they were vortexing a vigilante toward Req. The wolves all had to kill the Illuminati because they thought the other wolves were out to get them.

By the way, why am I still getting overthrown?

Because I missed it
Because the French Revolution never truly ended

@Caerulea: Go for it

[flat_footed]

Req's death was intentional, and we also targeted Logic that night for the night kill. We traded my Scry target of Req for FC's shot at... was it Caerulea, FC?

No, we intended to kill Requilac. (Specifically, we intended to vortex to point FC at Requilac.) But that was discussed in werewolf chat before we realized we were all also Illuminati, so presumably we all agreed because we were trying to act like good wolves and we couldn't think of a good excuse not to kill Requilac.

EDIT: ...Oh look, a triple ninja!

[flat_footed]

Speaking of, I'm good to release the wolf chat

[Ramsus]

Well, that was amusing. Shame the game didn't go on a bit longer though. It's been a while since we had a game. And I doubt I'm ever going to get another opportunity to lynch lynching.

[Xihirli]

It was going to be a long, grueling task to link up with the other Illuminati members. Then, at the end of the night, I would say
long live the queen
And night kill whichever wolf was still alive.

[Fleeing Coward]

I didn't shoot night 1 then tried to shoot Logic night 2 since he wasn't in Illuminati chat. I assume the wolves vortexed me to Req.

I kind of figured that the Illuminati thing was the April Fools mechanic but my initial theory before Req outted was that everyone was a different secret society.

[BasketOfPuppies]

So I somehow glossed over the fact that I was in the Illuminati and felt a little terrified because everyone else was.

[flat_footed]

So I somehow glossed over the fact that I was in the Illuminati and felt a little terrified because everyone else was.

You know, I was waiting for that. The one player who claimed Illuminati that actually wasn't and ruined the all claim plan. I ribbed Xi and Elenna for claiming when we weren't sure this would work. But then it did! Turns out Xi was the pied piper to a better future after all.

Speaking of which: Wolf Chat.

[Xihirli]

I'm really smart!

[BourgeoisJerry]

Ditto. I didn't catch your Illuminati Eye reference, but kinglinus1's hive thing and Murska's barking had me convinced that they were part of a bee faction and a dog faction.

Speaking of Murska's barking... so, I was the guard dog, and that actually convinced me that the april fools joke was that we were all going to be dog roles.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Wow I wish.

[Requilac]

I consider this is a success, because my plan did eventually work out. Just after my death. To be completely honest, I was not really expecting to survive the night after that. It was a gamble on my part, but clearly a worthy gamble. Great job carrying the flag of the illuminati Xihirli.

I find my death to be especially ironic, because I was actually aware that FC claimed to be a vigilante that was going to kill someone on that night. And also, Tanar Aerdoth actually told me that you were an anti-Illuminati agent through a PM, but she didn’t have any evidence so I was not willing to rely on that benign the truth. I guess she was right in the end though. Sorry Tanar, I was jaded from all the lies involved in Werewolf.

[Xihirli]

Tanar was also an anti-Illuminati agent, to be fair.
