The Thing! Science Team wins!

[SoN!c]

Sonic quid pro quo i ll trust in asking you will give your duo before the lynch and last plea.

If not dev, then 1 from those on your bt and 1 from those not on it.
1 not on it i have to go for kong, back to impressiveness of past play
1 on it, i think either annie or bunny.
Annie is less likely because i think she told the truth when saying homer - intellectual type, even if he doesnt have a highet iq his name suggests the og homer. Also game cut shorter last game so less track record to go on when choosing.


Bunny - sure footed last game asked good questions, nullify her as an opponent and have fun with her on your side if choosing her. If she was choosing, well i do think annie was truthful that she would have chosen homer.

Fpd

I think bunny loose so im happy you said her name.

You could have found the key to solve this. So do what you do best

[annieh]

I have a hard time believing a Thing would have enough interest to check hjelp's math. +5 happy scientist points to kong

Bunny says look at homer, and ok, yes, let's do that. But then the full homer quote with no comment on the quote! If you're not adding something, your not adding something. Overall, I don't have an issue with Bunny.

I have an issue with king, to a lesser extent hjelp, and to a lesser extent lc and Dev.

[Loose Canon]

Anticipating your next question the answer came quickly.

If it had to be hjelp then id stick with one on your bt and one off.

So it would have to be hjelp and kong because kong would be better choice for hjelp and because i could see kong choosing hjelp.
Each will have earned respect of other pregame.

Fpd

[SoN!c]

So we are all paranoid in this all paranoid game called The Thing. As it should be by paranoid design.

I have loose (still) as town, and Kong, and Charle and Dev.

I think Annieh too.

Im most sus on Hjelp & Kingm,.. if they flip whatever i know the flip result on their combo already!,

Bunny more on the scum flip side then homer..

Loose on the flip side too but since i love Loose so much he has sooo much credit ...

That credit is not limitless however.,but what a great game we are in.

[SoN!c]

And Hjelp is playing a great game since he has been called out a Thing. Bravo

[Loose Canon]

If you are thinking hjelp bunny and king then perhaps you'd tear up my 1 on your bt, 1 off it theory on the basis that hjelp voted you before bunny and bunny has been vote happy.
Bunny would i think have liked hjelp to recruit.
Not sure either if hjelp was the og

By the way i was ok with hjelps probabilities and his posting of them.

Fpd

[HottBunnie]

im town Sonic best to look elsewhere.

Thx for the response homer. I didn’t say anything about what you posted because there was hardly anything there but inactivity as well as somewhat distant responses reads scummy to me. At this point you have cleared up my concerns for the moment and I think Im going to reexamine the hjelp kong possibility.

For hjelp, the statistics seem to be effectively diverting the conversation away from realistic reads on what people are saying. To me it reads as noise and noise is helpful to cover other clues up. That and it seems hjelps name just keeps coming up on a list of suspects. I’m not convinced yet but I want to reexamine.

And then kong who right now I have a similar read as to what I did for homer, basically all and all not enough information. Tomorrow I want to look at both of their posts this game and see if there is anything i might be able to surmise.

Until then, don’t let the aliens bite… and as always keep looking up

[DirtyDishSoap]

Lynch:
(2) Hjelp - Sonic, Charle


With 10 alive, it takes 6 for majority.

Night is fast approaching, the Science Team has until October 5th, 9pm -05:00 UTC to determine what they want to do.

[Loose Canon]

Dev 2.53pm - dont really think Sonic is ideal
Sonic
Sonic
Sonic
Dev 1st of 3 asking for players to be prompted speak up
Dev 2
Dev 3rd
Sonic
Sonic shifting vote
Dev 3.37pm
Sonic
Sonic
Sonic
Sonic 4.20pm self blood test vote

Two first time I've seen this things happening;

1. Innocent Sonic going on tilt leading up to his vote shift, then in 3 votes preceding 4.20pm going on full tilt

2. Dev making 5 posts in just over half an hour

Number 2 is weird
- innocent Dev thinking Sonic is innocent or not ideal as per first post?
- infected Dev knowing Sonic is innocent drawn self consciously into posting multiple times, still posting his 5th vote after Sonics vote shift

Dev was drawn into something - weird for Dev between 2.53 and 3.37

[homer_jay]

Annie is less likely because i think she told the truth when saying homer - intellectual type, even if he doesnt have a highet iq his name suggests the og homer. Also game cut shorter last game so less track record to go on when choosing.

hey hey... i was there to the end last game. the game that was cut short was the one where every single thing went wrong for town. overall, that game was incredibly short for all of us.

my comment on annie being a good choice for infected was based on prior game play and nothing that i've seen in this game. it's been more of what we've come to expect. i don't think bunnie falls into that category though. i think the high school was her first game? too new to be a good choice for infection, IMO. of course, that doesn't eliminate her from possibly being the OG Thing. but if she is, she's doing a great job keeping it hidden.

So far I can't say that Charle has convinced me not to be OGT or IT. Just because of stating several times being clean isn't reassuring in my point of view. Rather on the contrary.

this is exactly what i said about everybody backing off when hjelp made a claim.

[Charle]

We are now at the stage where we are talking in circles again and it seems that we do not move forward. I also agree with Sonic that hjelp is playing a brilliant game since he was called the Thing.

a.) If we have no-lynch day 1 and no FT day one, we start D2 with 10 players - 3 x scum and 7 x Town.
b.) If we have no-lynch day 1 and a miss FT at night, then we start D2 with 9 players - 3 x scum and 6 x Town. (same for miss lynch and no FT)
c.) If we have no-lynch day 1 and FT recruit, we start D2 with 9 players - 2 x scum and 7 x Town. (same for lynch recruit and no FT)
d.) If we have no-lynch day 1 and FT Thing, we start D2 with 9 players - 1 x scum and 8 x Town. (same fo lynch Thing and no FT)
e.) If we have a miss lynch d1 and a miss FT at night, we start D2 with 8 players - 3 x scum and 5 x Town.
f.) If we lynch recruit D1 and miss FT at night, we start D2 with 8 players - 2 x scum and 6 x Town. (same other way around miss lynch and FT recruiit)
g.) If we lynch Thing D1 and miss FT at night, we start D2 with 8 players - 1 x scum and 7 x Town. (same other way around)
h.) If we lynch recruit/thing D1 and FT recruit/thing we win.

For interest sake, which option would you prefer for us to go for, options "a" or "b to d" or "e to h"?

[Loose Canon]

I've got to trust Sonic even if I see things not the same - so its E-H for me - and only a vote on me from Sonic with cause me to go my own way with vote.
Ultimately if sonic sticks with Hjelp - that will be my vote
I'm not playing devils advocate but if Sonic or someone else wants to test or challenge my logic on anything or be a sounding board I'm up for it.

One thing you can all trust in me - is that as a general rule I do look in and post pretty regularly.

[Loose Canon]

Loosey Goosey thought Sonic was best chance of finding Golden Egg.

Loosey Goosey poor as town.
Loosey Goosey worse as mafia.

Loose Goosey absolutely worst of all as Crispy Duck.
Dont flame me in lynch or at night

[hjelp]

This will be a long post - sorry about that.

Charle is scum behaviour -
follows the tactic - be close to your enemy - several statements to make sure Charle is aligned with Sonic. Charle jumped from BT Loose to BT SoN!c after SoN!ic stated BT Charle

Hjelp has a good argument that town should BT one of the 3 players who played The Thing game before. So since we need to find general agreement why don't we agree we test one of Charle, Traf and me?

CHARLE:

SoN!c is the enemy.
Charle then posted
28 Sep 2026 08:56

...
... Test me, or test Traf, or test Sonic for that matter, but Test first before we lynch.

So if those are the choices, we have, and I cannot BT myself:

Unvote

Blood Test Sonic

If Charles flips Scum then SoN!c is a perfect BT. A Scum Charle knows that SoN!c is Town and that's a good reason for the later alignment to SoN!c town. And later added several reassuring lines Charle is being Town.

hjelp, I am 100% clean at the moment, that i can assure you. Sonic is the only person we can trust here at the moment, so it is easy, I will follow what he will be doing.

...
@Sonic, what do you think of hjelp's claim? He could be Nauls as he started, but he could also be an infected Nauls. As I said, I will go whatever you decide, as you are the only one I trust at this moment. and @hjelp, that does not make me guilty.

Sonic, I am 100% clean blood at the moment, and for some reason you always hit on me and so many times you were always wrong.
...
I further said that I would follow your choice on a lynch, no matter which one, so whatever, you can say that you have 2 votes as you are the only person I can trust at the moment. I am very up for a BT on me first thing tomorrow (if the Thing do not recruit me obviously), i will even vote for myself, as I now only saw that you could when you did it...

You say that the Thing is playing a good game, but the chances are that he is not. Kong is abnormally quiet in this game and everybody is leaving him out as a possible thing or recruit.

But for now, I stay with your vote.

I agree completely with Loose. A clean Sonic means a lot for us now. Don't know why are you so upset about it Sonic, it is a good thing. Luckily you are not the Bad Thing!

Anyway, I will follow your lead for sure.


FP'd by hjelp

Also the two different statements -

"... So if those are the choices, we have, and I cannot BT myself ..."
"... I am very up for a BT on me first thing tomorrow (if the Thing do not recruit me obviously), i will even vote for myself, as I now only saw that you could when you did it ..."

but didn't.

- In my opinion - Charle is the most likely OGT or IT.
By that LC flips Town.

Which one is the other Thing? I don't think both Things are voting together on the same person => Bunny and Homer flips Town both. and Annie and myself flips Town both.

BT Votes:
(1) Charle - Sonic
(5) Sonic - Loose, Charle, Annie, Hjelp, Bunny
(1) Hjelp - Kong

And Devante and Kong flips Town.

that means only Kingman (Traf) left to be the other Thing ... which probably means there was a ligned up BT and I think it's Bunny. since the strong reaction from Charle -

Bunnie, what on earth did I do to make you think I am scum? because I followed Sonic's vote on a lynch? Sonic is town for now. I was the first on a bt vote, that is right, but I was not the one who jumped on the lynch band wagon so quickly before we had a bt done! To get the BT done early in the day is a good thing, it is not bad and I cannot see why it makes you believe i am scum.
---

Moreover, Bunny has jumped a lot and did quotes without saying anything.

So my Dual things are Charle and Bunny.

[hjelp]

For the moment being - I wait for more posts from Kingman though, still on my list.

[hjelp]

Clarify - Devante and Kong flips Town since Kong BT Charle and Devante me lynch. Charle is still voting me lynch.

[Charle]

@hjelp, you know I am town and therefore trying to get a lynch on me. I said that I would be the first one to vote on a BT myself tomorrow morning, meaning tomorrow D2, I said that after the BT on Sonic was done already, and I still mean to do so.

You now sound like someone very desperate in a corner. I think Sonic had it 100% correct this time.

[hjelp]

@ Tomorrow is too late, it's easy to say D1 - you will have infected another one N1 if you are the OGT which I think you're.

[Loose Canon]

@Charle in last game do you know if infected had chat and if so from when.
Hjelp claimed nauls - infected could swap og names if chat & dont know why hjelp claimed?

Kong you said was thinking about merits of a mass claim at some point. Why were you thinking about it when you did? Could be you were thinking ahead when it would be most dangerous for you and substituted merits for dangers?

[Charle]

Hi Loose,

I honestly cannot remember that particular detail, almost 3 years later. If infected could chat, I do not believe they would have had day chat, but really I cannot remember.

Then also, what we do not know is whether the N0 recruit know he was infected during the night of N0, or only the next morning. What happened in the previous game, DDS forgot to let me know that I was recruited the next day, so my false claim that I still had the FT the next day was actually not false, I did not know that I haven't had it anymore. Why I mention this is that in the previous game we would only know about infection the next morning, but I am not sure about the first N0 recruit.

[Loose Canon]

Ok im going to assume they dont have chat then, but assume they know who each other is unless someone knows.

Question still stands to hjelp.
Why did you claim Nauls?

[SoN!c]

Charle and Traf are still my primary suspects
even more Charle now since Charle joined the wagon and put me L-1.

Hjelp himself said he was at L-1 so i asked him to claim Loose. I wasn't counting the votes myself but trusted Hjelp to know how many votes he tallied.. And because of the unwritten rule that you need to claim at L2 i asked him to do so (also to see if he would claim to be Mcready because of the consequences that would have).

You should know because you commented the L-1 situation 2 days ago yourself.

Memory loss? Or signs of infection?

[HottBunnie]

No need for me to review all the posts of hjelp afterall, I agree hjelp looks desperate rn. Also you didnt acknowledge my statement on why I posted quotes without saying anything. I got what I thought was necessary out of that post acknowledged it and then stated my suspicions are on you. You then said your suspicions are on me and stopped talking about the statistics which I called out as a distraction. And you put up more/different distracting info. Im still unsure on kong, but I am not seeing anyone else giving off as much of sus vibes as you. Also Sonic seems to have pretty good reasoning and we know he is town.

Lynch Hjelp

[Loose Canon]

Missed him saying he was at L-1

And missed you asking him to claim

[SoN!c]

I would quite like a vote count because im not at allsure that just because sonic said hjelp was at L-1 he was.
It takes 6 to lynch.
