Re: The Thing! Day 1
Brilliant post.SoN!c wrote: Thu Oct 01, 2026 12:25 pm Let me give my reasoning on Hjelp again:
Hjelp’s Day 1 is three cuts.. (Nauls is our cook afterall):
First cut: silence. Opening days he flew under the radar. Almost nothing on the table, no suspect, no case. Just present enough not to be replaced. (Claimed "to be travelling" later).
Second cut: the wagons. Once his name was up as a possible Thing, the quiet ended immediatly and the jumping started.. Traf first, then onto me once votes were already there, “I call your hand,” then off Traf again when the wagon moved. No theory under it. Calling a hand is not a reason. And I was not dodging the BT. I had already said test one of Charle, Traf, or me. The phrase "calling you hand" only works if nobody checks the order. In short : Be on the wagon, as long as the wagon is not on him. Any wagon will do. Panic galore..
Third cut: the reasoning, and only then. When confronted his boarding passes on all those wagons had no valid theory, "The old-player" case and the "30 Sep numbers" and "It's Charle" showed up.
Like he already knew in the second cut who the Things are, so he did not need to spend time on that search.. Some of the third cut theory is decent yes. It is also way too late. Because it only arrived when confronted he had no search theories on the Things. Only then he started to think on that. Again like he never had the need to do so before?
Then for Dessert: He pleas random numbers 2/9 on every seat, but then prefers Charles anyway. .A Charle he claims he suspects the most but never voted for BT.
Ofc i could be wrong but boy, if we let all this slip, and we do not lynch Hjelp - just how stupid as a science team are we?

Re: The Thing! Day 1
@Loose: In case you missed it (or just forgot it like the L-1): Time for you to vote Hjelp. Afterall: If you are so sure he is town you have nothing to worry about ey loosy?

Re: The Thing! Day 1
And in case Hjelp does flips town (very unexpected) :
The winning town strategy is:
Blood test every day, lynch the positive the same day, flame the best remaining suspect that night, and do not flame a negative from that same day. Repeat the next day.
Remember: The original Thing is the prize, because if we manage to kill that then we have 1 night without conversion before it transforms into a recruit and a new original Thing is born.
The FT has unlimitless fuel as long one of the 3 townies that can hold it is human: Mcready, Windows & Childs. If the FT holder is infected a message the next morning will appear from DDS "the FT is found by an unexpected hero".

Innocents why waste a bt on sonic d2 when you can bt him d3 and catch either a n1 or n2 conversion

Re: The Thing! Day 1
I agree, @ Loose, it seems that you are very protective over hjelp for some reason, even after you mutiple times said that you will follow Sonic's vote but still not doing it?

Re: The Thing! Day 1
That is the final cut. Cut four. Silence, wagons, late theory and late maths, and now the funeral violin, because in cut four Thing Loose cuts loose and buses his original. Drama. Suspense. Thriller. What an end to a great day.
So Hjelp is the original & Loose is the recruit.
The night shot is the goose who cut loose. (Served with a nice bottle of Chianti to pair the crispy bird)
Or is it?
Only one way to find out.. that's a hammer.

Re: The Thing! Day 1
For the record, I haven't recruited anyone.
Re: The Thing! Day 1
A song about "Chicken" (right after Loose puts you on L-1 sounds a bit appropriate) to a Goose

Re: The Thing! Day 1
Actually F'it I'm going to say it.
My claim is Windows 2nd BackUp
Hjelps last post has convinced me he IS infected.
So whilst you digest this;
unvote Hjelp

C'mon it does get any funnier then this!!

Re: The Thing! Day 1
we have to lynch Hjelp and flamethrow you or vice versa - doesn't matter because DDS posted "flame before conversion"Loose Canon wrote: Wed Sep 23, 2026 7:56 am we have to lynch the thing d1 and flamethrow the recruit n1 to win.
How sure are you?
Very sure

I wanted to make it look im Mcready "Mcready is hot tonight and ready to flame".SoN!c wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 2:09 am Confirmed! The long-awaited roles, yikes!
And for those who haven't played before, know that a negative bloodtest on D1 does not mean he/she is negative on D2 or later.. because BT has a tactical element as The Thing could lean more to convert an already tested player..
But we should test every day before lynching.
Have good and real fun y'all!
But im Gary, the station commander.
It was hidden in my opening post
Confirmed! The lonG-Awaited Roles, Yikes!

I think i did a good job as station commander - cheers
So perhaps, if Mcready is sleepy tonight, you still have a chance to make that conversion and win as Thing.

Re: The Thing! Day 1
Mine would be a futile claim if I didn't start as Windows
Hjelp could be lying he didnt infect
In what world would Hjelp have infected me
The equation to consider is what you think you have on me vs Kong and Hjelp or Hjelp and Kong both work.
You should have a look at Kong.

Re: The Thing! Day 1
I actually think the optimal play is for you to switch the lynch vote onto me right now - you have time to switch back if you decide otherwise.

Whatever you do you should do it in a way that examines Kong because it might not be Kong
