That Creeping Darkness [Concluded]

[CCRunner]

Look at ATPG's name again. And Sigurd Sigurdson

[Beskar]

What does Country Fried Chicken got to do with anything?

Though more seriously, the Diamento character seems to be fine for now (quote:" He had escaped the nightmare...but for how long?"), it could be related to CDF's "seeing the light" ability he discussed last round. It could mean there are cultists here still, possibility trying to spread the word of Cthulhu.

There was an interesting comment from ATPG last round which suggested siding with the cultists was the only way for the town to win (but ultimately lose). The name of the game is afterall "The Creeping Darkness" and being honest, while Andres seems to be some mad-man who is a godfather who took over the town, he doesn't strike as being a "Creeping Darkness" like ACIN, CDF, etc seem to suggest with their roles.

I would go out on a limb and say Andres isn't the true bad-guy facing the town, but infact, it is "The Creeping Darkness" which the Cthulhu Cult seem to ring bells with. Maybe in an ultimate twist, Andres could even be our saviour of sorts, as afterall, he is a doctor and he is currently doing research and he obviously picked this place. Perhaps he took over the town to try to stop the Creeping Darkness from being released? Afterall, you have to remember, this is an YLC game, not "run of the mill gotta' stomp them".

Obviously there has to be more people here with information. You have these psychics, what is their connection? Do they see the Creeping Darkness coming? Are they able to read the intentions? Why are these opposed to Andres in a more lore-based way? Then there is Andres, Andres, what is your true and ultimate goal in all of this? Are you simply taking over the town for power, or is that just something you had to do, to stop the Creeping Darkness or even support it? What is this research you recieved from CDF and what work are you doing? As for the Cultists and the Old One, what is your true aim and goal in this?

There are many untold answers, and possibly even more untold questions.


For now, I will Vote: Nictel due to his susipicious post.

[Beskar]

So the fact that Sigurd was "Sigurd Sigurdsson", ATPG was something with four names that sported A, T, P and G as capital letters and Winston Hughes was Winstos Hughes or something like that, combined with the fact that I am so sure of the name that I am voting to kill myself for the good of the town is not enough hint for you?

I wonder who Adrasteia could be then... a role-name in their own right, or alternative name for atheotes (begins with an A and is Greek)

[Greyblades]

I'm sorry I havent been very active, holidays have been quite busy and I'm finding it hard to concentrait long enough to read the epic writeups.

This is what happens when I skim posts at work.

[Andres]

No Beskar, I don't need to take over the town. I merely need to take out one person: Psychic 0.

Since nobody of the power roles, except CDF (who, unfortunately, got lynched) wishes to cooperate with me, I'm kinda forced to use what I have.

If the pro town power roles wish to combine their forces with me, then my pm box is open.

Help me finding Psychic 0 and I'm happy.

Alternatively, I could just keep killing until I have Psychic 0. I don't care either way; I am neutral and a-moral.

I just need Psychic 0's skin for my research.

[Diamondeye]

I am considering that Adrasteia might be DBL A considering her name was shortened "Ada". But Atheotes might fit better on second thought.

Anyway, it seems the consensus that I am not an imminent danger. Unvote: Diamondeye; Vote Nictel

[Sasaki Kojiro]

So diamondeye is claiming to be Diamanto, and voted himself but now switched off. Why don't you tell us more about yourself?

Alright, so assuming this is correct, Andres is not the biggest badguy out there and obviously not the Creeping Darkness.

There was the thing where Andres saved Adastriea from doom from a big beast creature, who ran away from Gas Mask and they seemed hostile to eachother. This indicates that Andres faction and the Darkness faction are not allies, but infact enemies.

Also, what faction is Psychic 0? Is he a town, or is he a purple? What is Psychic 0's goal in all of this? to simply survive? To defeat Andres? Would the town even handing Psychic 0 over to Andres actually be in our benefit?

Though I am guessing Psychic 0 can contact and talk to the Ghost Council. The Ghost Council seems able to use abilities. A thing to note is "When good, non-mafia players die.." that means Ghosts could ultimately be on our side, though it did suggest that some ghosts "are not who they might be".

Ultimately, the town is lacking quite a bit of vital information. Who are the Psychics and this Mysterious Psychic 0 ? Who is the Old One, is it Cthulhu? What are these creatures, who is the man in the white suit who has a face of thousand horrors?

If any of the following could private message me and provide me with information which I can share on your behalf, I would be grateful.

Actually, Double A does seem like a good choice as well. Could either Double A or Atheotes confirm or deny this?

[Diamondeye]

There's a very simple reason (which explains why I sit with no information and am at a loss to what's going on): I don't have any more to tell. I'm a basic townie; no PM. That's about what you can know about me from my PoV. Which is why this mention of the person I suppose is me (and who seems ordinary) in the update scared me quite a bit.

I am with Beskar on this one; we need some information!

Well, at this time, I think you are harmless, as it did suggest you were saved for now. It might imply that in the future, you might become a threat or something if attacked again, thus need to be taken out then, but that can wait for then, as you see with the Guy in White Suit, Monsters, etc, killing a simple townie now when they don't have to die seems a bad choice.

[DELETE_THIS]

-He doesn't read through the update properly.

Didn't you see the enormous wall of text? I'm not going to read all that.

Only two things are important, who was killed and who could have done it. All that text just blinds us from the truth!

YLC's games eats chumps like you for breakfast then and spits you out dry.

[Renata]

Why did Gasmask kill ATPG if Andres is so friendly to the Town? ATPG was a claimed pro-town investigator, and his death was not going to lead toward but if anything away from determining the identity of Psychic Zero. Andres is lying, and Beskar is helping him do it.

Screw Nictel; his scummy skimming can wait.

unvote, vote: Beskar

How am I helping Andres doing anything? I am sorry that proposing questions that need to be answered to unravel a YLC game = scummy, since if I was Andres/Psychic 0/Cultured Drizzt fan/Old One, I would know these answers already and would most likely be in my interest to not reveal them. Why does Andres need Psychic 0's skin?

Why did Gasmask kill ATPG? We don't know, but why did ATPG try to kill Ada (Double A/Atheotes), why did a Monster also try to attack Ada? Why did Andres save Ada?

Why did you miss that information out on purpose?

Is Ada some one the town should be killing?

[Diamondeye]

Excuse me for speaking but I strongly interpret that "wall of text" as if ATPG is trying to protect Ada.

Luckily, as far as I understand, we can simply ask him.

AskThePizzaGuy, what role does Ada play in this and were you protecting or killing her?

[Renata]

ATPG wasn't trying to kill Ada; that read to me like a call for protection. Which suggests ATPG was lying through his teeth about being an investigator, but Andres shouldn't have known that. And in any case, he might not have been lying; the protection may not have been his own choice:

He dreamed that someone was in danger, and they called out to him, begging him to save them.

Written all over every surface, engarved directly into the wood, were the words "You better, hurry! Tick, Tock, Tick Tock, you know what I'm talkin bout!" Fear gripped him as it dawned on him...quickly gathering his wits and revolver, he headed out of his house to find the person from his dreams, his only clue, a blood stained note with an address...

Panicking, Antonio galvanized himself and gave a burst of energy towards the building, praying that hopefully he was in time...

he was not here for Winston, but for Winston he was here, this was true. His mind fizzled at the problem, and his conscious sank into the background as instincts took over. Fumbling with his gun, Antonio brought it to bear and aimed at the "thing"

This STRONGLY implies a mission of protection and not assassination, and mildly implies it wasn't ATPG's own choice (that is, his order), but that of someone else, presumably Ada herself. So Ada was protected twice.

As for who Ada is, read the first post again. [Edited to add: Heck, you used the shortened version of the name yourself, you already knew. You're blowing smoke, Beskar.]

Regarding you, you just assisted Andres in making a plea to town to buy the idea that he might not really be all that bad. I don't know if that means you're a henchman, a dupe; or heck, maybe he's even trying to frame you. But in any case the idea, I believe, is a dangerous one. Andres is the mafia godfather for the game, and killing ATPG got him no closer to his claimed goal and town further from ours.

[Beskar]

I thought ATPG might have tried to stop Ada, as Lowell tried to protect her, and he was trying to get there before he was too late. Though, it could be too late for the monster. [Edit: which he actually might have]

But if ATPG was trying to protect her, why was he protecting a target which Lowell was also trying to protect? How did both Lowell and ATPG both know that Ada was in danger? Who sent this dream? Psychic 0?

Question to the Ghosts, Sigurd, ATPG, who that can answer. Are you able to address any of our questions and if so, would you be willing?

You obviously never played a YLC game before, because that is what he doesn't do.

In his last game, YLC said there was a terrorist on board a space-ship who we had to catch and get rid out. Nice and simple, just like the beginning of this game.

Want to know what the end result of?

There were about 2 different cults, various mason/mafia groups, an intergalatic battle between gods, the rise of the God of Random, (who was Chaotix) then there was his twin sister, (ATPG) who was part of a mason group, but also this evil goddess in diguise, who killed the God of Random, who was then killed by a mysterious Death God.

In short, never take a YLC game at face value.

Also, notice how the game is "Creeping Darkness" and Andres is not a Creeping Darkness, and there is a Cthulhu cults, psychics, ghosts, Old Ones, etc running around? It is far more than the simple game it is, and we need to think outside the box.

[Renata]

I do think it is very likely that this "creeping darkness" is as much a danger to Andres as to the rest of us. For that reason I'm not going to begrudge Ada her protection coming in part from Lovell.

Trust you lot to vote for thread active people It's most likely your a bunch on townies that can't keep quiet, which is all mafia needs, really.

Which is exactly what I was saying, while Andres is the bad guy (not saying he is necessarily good), he isn't THE bad guy (cue: Creeping Darkness).

Should I unvote and vote you for having the same thought as me?

I know, how about we partner up? It could be like a Dan Brown book. I will be Robert Langdon and you could be the other star (depending on which book you want to choose, or your very own one), and we solve this mystery together and save the day.

Sounds like fun.

[Sevis]

Heh. Me? And is that truly due to my idleness (which only set in quite recently), or my past accusations of Beskar? Regardless... I'm going to go for Vote: Nictel for now - claiming the write-ups are unimportant is rude, and using their length as the argument is silly. Whether Beskar is guilty or not, I do not know - although the fact we've got someone with past experience is nice.

[Diamondeye]

How's it that you, Beskar, suggest that we think outside the box and not even consider the possibility that although the busdriver in the update (I would guess taht was his role in traditional terms at least) was lying when he said he was from Lovell? Perhaps he was just doing it to be convincing.

Nevertheless, I think you're both right in assuming that we are dealing with plenty of dangers. Which is why the rest of the town and the pro-towns need to wake up soon or we're dead meat.

[Renata]

I only remember your past defense of Beskar, Sevis. When I questioned his apparent knowledge of a Cthulhu cult, it was you who came in to explain how reasonable that was.

[Andres]

I had Adastriea protected last night by switching her with Winston Hughes.

I knew Winston was just a townie and Adastreia has an important role. Ada is capable of investigating dead bodies to determine their roles and allegiance. I discovered that not so long ago and I thought she was worthy of being protected.

The man in the white suit seems to be our mutual enemy, dear townies. I want the name of a Psychic today or I won't keep helping you against him. If he would be the first to give me Psychic 0, then I wouldn't mind to take out a pro-town power investigator and to decide that he's my ally instead of our mutual enemy.

Your call. But it's do ut des.

[Beskar]

But doesn't YLC give that information on death anyway? (Such as he revealed the purple people)

Though if Psychic 0 did warn ATPG about the danger to Ada, it would mean that Ada could be a powerful role. Could Ada please contact me in private to tell me more about themselves? With townies dying over you and Andres knows who you are, I can't betray you. I want to know what is special about you.
