Blackpool Manor Dinner: Kong Mulligatawny Ming soup - first course (D1)

[Charle]

Ragian, the patron converted one person on night 0. So, it is up to us to try and figure out if you were the Patron, who would you convert on N0 and why. And I really think that Sonic could leave a clue in the pictures he sent us, it could be just flavor but knowing Sonic there could be something hidden in there. That is why i had the idea earlier on that the Patron if male, could have converted a female, maybe just something to look at as well. You guys know Sonic as well as I do.

[Ragian]

You're kinda avoiding what I'm asking. Where the roles not handed out at random? (Roles, not recruits.)

[Charle]

Yes I believe they were. But, at N0, the Patron/Wolf/Mafia guy, had the chance to recruit someone (that is why there was the possibility for an additional invite) of his choice. I really think that Sonic created that picture on AI to give us some clues, or not?

Why is homer so quiet?

I dread to think how long your last 2 posts took you charle, given i fpd you by 10 minutes while you posted the above?

[Ragian]

Charle, get it together! If Loose and homer discuss who is most likely to be the patron, don't you think that that negates roles being handed out randomly? Surely, everyone would be equally likely to be the patron if random selection was employed. And please stop posting thoughts on clues in an image (playing the mod) until you have something that taps into what we know. I, for one, don't know anything yet.

The patron was determined at random. Our host expounded at length as to the process in the sign up thread. Myself, I thought it was randomly Kong, his departure necessitating a new randomization. However, since his return, the process strikes me as quite convoluted. What remains, I believe, is one random patron, and their first designee, the secretary.

Perhaps two recruits along with the patron. This would be bad news because, at two, the circle can only recruit. With a third they gain the capacity to kill.

I should like to hear Kingm's take as to the likelihood of clues in the portraits. He and sonic have a long and intimate history. If I hear another, and allow me to paraphrase, "woah, crazy dinner" out of him, I'm flipping the soup table.

Since Sonic's recent italicizing of the word "hand" I find myself quite hung up on the possibility of clues. Though I do fear I may be being misled.

And ive just sorted by author and king has been more quiet than homer.

Leaving that aside but not leaving that aside but frowning nevertheless, the 10 minute gap between my post and charle's "why is homer so quiet fpd by loose" implies you were posting something more extensive then thought better of it.

F(rowning) O(n) Suspicious charle

With 12 alive it takes 7 to dismiss somebody from Blackpool Manor dinner!

[HottBunnie]

I was not fondling his hair or whatever you said loose lol I merely parted the comb over over the bald spot. And Dev was the one who came onto me and Annie, it seems as though no one else has insight on this. He’s not on anyone else’s radar? Wouldn’t that make him further suspicious? No mention of the idea that there will be a third circle member? So wouldn’t they be looking for their third member right now? Katyssis lashes out at Annie without a reason other than she was singled out as a possible suspect. Random accusations thrown at King as hes been quiet, I mentioned hjelp earlier, now his name arrises again with no vote or second. I do think the italicized hand might have significance and the picture might matter, if it does I do believe its someone other than Dev raising his hand… So many questions, but for me I think the voting record is most telling which is why I am trying to get the ball rolling.

[Devante]

Flavour aside I am hauling bales all day then running a combine till the wee hours of the morning and having a hard time staying up on turns. I'll need a day or two to catch up and then I'll post my thoughts, hoping to be done in the field by tomorrow

[Loose Canon]

Well bunny, my take on dev which was his "hello future wives" was that was a witty for its unusuality statement, that could have drawn absolutely any reaction from you and annie, and so as a circle statement could have drawn him unnecessarily into any manner of a back and forth with you and/or annie.

Seeing neither you nor annie had responded after a while, i thought you two just couldnt think of something appropriately witty to respond with, so i added my own adding to the awkardness, because i was curious to ser you and annie outside your comfort zones.

For me devs post evidenced house.

On your wish for voting record, i think im repeating myself, but if patron knows who secretary is yet secretary doesnt yet know who patron is - its of no value d1.

Process of elimination im down to 4 possibles for patron being charle, king, hjelp and homer.
And IF that is correct a mislynch on patron, would still stand a fair chance of hitting secretary, and if missing both but still correct would give archivist a good chance at hitting either patron or secretary.
So im now pro voting for a lynch now because i think by process of conversation the odds are favourable.

I do think you are going on a wild goose chase by looking for hidden cryptic clues visual or textual in sonics posts. It would be helpful for a patron within the 4 who i suspect if so. But we have 9 days so take some more laudanum and enjoy

Loose! What the hell is this?!? How can you narrow random down to four people? What are you basing this on? It reeeeally feels as if you're pulling this out from where the orange light doesn't go.

[Ragian]

Oh, I cocked it up...

[SoN!c]

There are propper clues to be found in the images( *as it should be in a Propper SoN!c hosted game)! However the sloppy AI to generate them gives a thousand possibilities which would make you to loose your mind if you tried to decypher them..

As in the clues are in the props? Or the ones who use props? I don't understand at all...

[Loose Canon]

I have an idea our chef might have some Indian blood. Maybe a good idea to cool the toilet paper down in a fridge somewhere.

Mulligatawny Origin and Name
• Name meaning: The name comes from the Tamil words miḷagu (black pepper) and thanneer (water), literally translating to "pepper-water".
• History: During the British colonial era in India, British officers expected a multi-course meal that included a soup course—a concept not traditional in Indian dining. Local cooks adapted thin, spicy South Indian rasam or lentil-based daal into a heavier, meat-inclusive dish tailored to European tastes.

Key Characteristics & Ingredients
• Base: Typically made with a well-seasoned chicken, mutton, or vegetable stock, often thickened with red lentils or rice.
• Flavor profile: Combines warming Indian spices (such as curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper) with sweet elements like diced apples, carrots, or a touch of mango chutney.
• Finish: Often enriched with coconut milk, cream, or yogurt, and garnished with fresh cilantro.

And this is a factor as to why of the 4 im currently most suspicious of charle.
Its like he wanted to fit into some kind of fake flavour claim sonic gave him early on.
Otherwise i cant understand now why charle went to the trouble of posting this.

Fpd

[Loose Canon]

Rag , i dont now think patron is you, annie, bunny, dev or kong, its not me, it cant be zulu or katy.
Therefore whilst patron was chosen randomly at the start - its down to charle, king, hjelp or homer

A prop is just flavour like a cigarette an actor smokes on screen or a lollipop an actor sucks

Too funny!

Nice job working on the farm Dev, I hear you I will wait for your response.

But no response from LC on how there are clues in the pictures like he just gave us that for free. I think we do need to examine them more thoroughly. something that has been on my mind for a bit is: the patron could easily be LC. The conversation has been well controlled so far by him. He has put out more accusations than anybody. And we’re making an assumption that the secretary wouldn’t know who the patron is initially. Subtly putting these ideas out there could be useful to the patron since they are the only ones with any confirmed knowledge at the moment that we know for sure well that and Kong since Kong is confirmed to be house.

[Loose Canon]

Bunny check the pregame and probably in game card for the secretary.

So you dont like accusations being thrown around but do like throwing votes around.

You want to look for clues in flavour but ignore that this is a social deduction game. Im pretty sure sonic has explicitly said that by the way

[HottBunnie]

Yes, I think a voting record is important
Yes, I think you are accusing a lot of people
Yes, I think there is more to the rules than you have expressed that you understand and that what someone else knows could be more than what we know they know which is partially why sonic is laughing
Yes, of course I am deducing but ignoring information that is presented to us and told to be useful is ignorant

[Loose Canon]

1. Voting record is of negligible importance d1 - i think ive explained why
2. Yes i am accusing + some
3. a.Yes sonic will be enjoying the cut & thrust + some
b. Good luck finding more about the set up and finding the patron as a result
4a. Good luck if you are deducing from speculating the rules might mean this or might mean that, let me know what you find.
4b. Im blissful to be ignorant

[annieh]

Lord have mercy and God almighty, my hearing must be going.

Did not reply to the idea of Dev being my next husband? For lack of wit?

Bunnie, hold my gimlet. This man is trying to provoke me.
