The Thing! Science Team wins!

[SoN!c]

It makes no sense that you claim to believe Hjelp is infected and unvote at the same time.

In short: You agree Hjelp is infected, but you take the vote off, while claiming back-up vig , and pointing at Kong while asking to be lynched.

[SoN!c]

BREAKING NEWS: THE THING WALKS AMONG US!!

Loose Canon, the Day-0 recruit voted the original to L-1, then unvoted him in the same post in which he called him infected. He did not deny being the copy.

[Kingm]

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

fpd by Sonic

No I'm not the OG Thing

So you unvote Hjelp, since you are sure hjelp is infected, then you vote kong since you think maybe the order matters, and not you way that maybe its not Kong? like why do you not vote for one we all think is the baddie?

I do not follow your logic here mate.

It feels like Sonic is spot on here.

[Kingm]

FP by sonic, that did not come up when I tried to post, weird

[SoN!c]

CHIANTI ON ICE. GOOSE ON THE MENU.

[Loose Canon]

The taking the vote off was to give you time to consider all options

Whether you think it is me depends on the level of "bad play" (and dishonest play) you ascribe to me.

If you think I'm poor (to go for Devante) but not necessarily That Poor (to have started going for Devante when I did) - thats a question

I do deny being the OG or the Copy (and the copy makes little sense because Hjelp would have chosen the copy)

Fpd by Sonic x 2

[Loose Canon]

Maybe as part of considering all options you could start by asking Kong to claim?

[SoN!c]

This logic is dead.

I think both of you played a great game untill you got both caught in the lure web.

Hjelp made the mistake not using your Thing line to shift the noose away from his neck.. You made the mistake to defend him too many times (and not once voting for him).

Station commander's kiss for your lovely play, both of you.

Then the rope moved tight and the goose started talking about cranberry. With sage and onion "elsewhere".

[SoN!c]

True order doesn't matter or maybe it does.

But for what its worth lynch Kong

What happened to "Iynch Devante"?

[Loose Canon]

I changed my mid on Devante once I became convinced that Hjelp was infected.
My theory on Devante only worked IF he was playing you and with one of the players not on the BT of you.
The multiple posts of Devante were weird to me though.

MAKE KONG CLAIM!

[Loose Canon]

I'm pretty sure there are scenarios in which you can pin Kong D2 even if I'm flamed today or tonight if you make him claim

[Loose Canon]

And equally there's scenarios in which he's cleared D2

Gotta be worth it if so?

[Loose Canon]

I mean cleared D2 as an infected right now.

[Loose Canon]

Trust my play from whatever game you cited before that you wanted me to get back to.
Or at least humour it.

[SoN!c]

I changed my mid on Devante once I became convinced that Hjelp was infected.
My theory on Devante only worked IF he was playing you and with one of the players not on the BT of you.

MAKE KONG CLAIM!

I'll have whatever your drinking. Must be very good.

Now im gonna make the final chess move on you or on my own theory (just like in The Thing).

You claim Windows 2nd BackUp.

But by doing so you forgot to defend your king and now it's checkmate. Or it's your big escape line..that you didn't see yourself...

One of the Things has a real name, the recruit. Both Things know that name.

So the OGT infected Windows. Because both Things are the same entity. They both know the recruit's name.

The checkmate in it is that it's only one name they know. Not two.

But Hjelp already claimed Nauls. So one of you is lying and the real Windows (or the real Nauls) has to come forward.

If you both are Nauls en Windows and there is no counterclaim then one of you two is not the Thing.

Or DDS provided cover names this 2026 Thing game.

[SoN!c]

But that would be a big mistake by DDS because the Thing has no name. It only gets a name after the first infection. It's not human.

So is there a counterclaim on Windows and Nauls?

[Loose Canon]

You are arguing with me when you should be asking Kong to claim - to double check the rigour of what you think - and to verify Kong isn't infected now (for D2 purposes) when you see for sure what I am now.

FPd by Sonic

Yes probably adds to reason you should ask Kong to claim - if so would have been ideal if you'd humoured me first but you are human.

[HottBunnie]

I think I get what he’s saying he’s saying he’s sure that hjelp is infected and if we’re all sure that’s the case why vote for hjelp because if there’s certainty there that should be the flamethrower. We still have time why not try to see who the second person is? At least I think that’s the logic. I haven’t seen that written in words. So it can only be a guess at this point. However, it does make loose look mad suspicious.. The problem with this plan if that is the plan is it can also be something that the thing has planned to do to help draw suspicion off themselves. I think we should just vote for hjelp. There is a good point there. We haven’t considered who we really think is second. Who would we want to flamethrower as a second? My strong second was Kong… loose is yet again looking suspicious. Who do you guys think is the other?

And no counter claim to those from me. But even if he is Windows could he still be infected?

[SoN!c]

What is in it for you? Why does Kong need to claim? Why do you wanna know his name?

The OGT steals a jacket that already had one in it.

And you and Hjelp have each offered a name. For each name (Nauls and Windows), the speaker is either wearing it or faking it.

The alien has no name. DDS cannot issue it a badge that says "HELLO MY NAME IS STEVE".

[SoN!c]

If there is a counterclaim then we know who is lying and we win no matter what. If there is no counterclaim then Loose could be talking the truth how crazy that sounds. I need that Chianti on ICE now

[Loose Canon]

I'm saying wait to see what Kong claims in the very first instance.

Fpd by Sonic

Again wait to see - there is value in it - I'm sure.
You have Hjelp and me (if it is me) in the bag
softly softly catchy monkey (kong) - or clear monkey (for right now infected)
or catch goosey gander - and goosey wants a gander at Kong

Fp'd again - I am telling the truth

[SoN!c]

The only thing that makes sense for you to do now is buy time, hoping we miss deadline, (by waiting on those counterclaims). All in all, your buying time but your paying for it in loose change, loose geese, and loose theories.

Kong is the slowest player on the list to post (work issues he posted). Is that the real reason Loosy? So we run out of time while we are waiting on Kong?

Loose geese is the new currency?

[Loose Canon]

No that isn't the reason as you will see in due course.

[Loose Canon]

I suspect a guilty Kong might decide best option is to play clock down though - (not sure on that) - then a fast 1-2 on me and Hjelp or vice versa allows infected to reinfect ANO and live to fight another day for the infected faction
I also think a guilty Kong is trappable here (probably)
And an innocent (now) Kong on the other hand is innocent.

But I do want him to claim

[hjelp]

Hm, I got my name and I'm not infected. Also not OGT.
