Rampage Out of Space

[Dolby]

I know that I've repeated this like every 24 hours, but Csargo is one my lightest townreads and probably shouldn't be put entirely out of people's lists but is still probs town

[Laurentus]

you got your wish! That was a really exciting demise for a scum.

Erm. To be exact, this was his 4th post, and it was made upon entry to D2? Okay, yeah, not a good look, but I find it hard to imagine Tim tolerating such lazy scum.

[Dolby]

Just to list my thoughts on Gnome:

1) pretty much on the float day 1, had a couple talking about posts, but then never voted
2) comes in Day 2 still without any reads and spends the first half the day saying they have no reads
3) gets a little pressurefrom someone else and then me
4) quickly goes full defensive as hominem attacking me and not giving any reads
5) comes back at the EOD latching onto the idea that she and I must not be w/w to claim that we are both not scum when in fact it could easily mean she is scum and tries to drop it.
6) asks a couple questions in EOD and votes Dolby on a follow up but doesn’t really post a lot about who she suspects. The Dolby vote in particular feels like a tie on

I think she floated until I put pressure, she pushed back to try and get me off her but then belatedly tried to look town with some weak questions eod when that didn’t work. Feels scummy to me.

yeah I'm not opposed to Gnome dying

[Csargo]

The way that Tims treated him in comparison to the way he treated El is also striking.

I don't really remember El's entrance into the thread. I remember thinking both were fine yesterday, so it's odd.

[Winston Hughes]

killing in gnome/panda/nook/borg/ibn is probably fine

confidence says we've got them on the run

paranoia says someone's got past us

[Laurentus]

That is my progression. D1, which you can find in my ISO, I thought Panda had wolf potential. Then I forgot he was playing b/c his posts aren't memorable at all.
His posts still aren't memorable.
Your posts are fine, I think you're probably town.

Oh, I meant your progression on me. Why am I town? Especially after this would be an almost exact repeat of our last game together where I was, in fact, scum, and you indicated you wished to turbo me D1. And then my slot stayed until the end and won.

thoughts on the derpgate people?

I need more time with it, I set my alarm to wake up this morning but there were more pages than I thought I’d wake up to. Laur could be lying about not noticing C4 was dead but I do think a wolf would be more careful know more be more plugged in.

[Winston Hughes]

someone vote gnome

we need that rps buzz

[Laurentus]

No, I didn't. Kind of by accident. My Wednesday evenings are super busy, and EOD occurred when I wasn't able to post. I intend to vote today, and it does look like people are saying more than they did yesterday.

Okay, yeah, non-commital, and I don't quite get what people saying more has to do with anything.

[Dolby]

the big problem for me is that pretty much my entire lower PoE is the people who sussed me and voted for me

and I don't think it can be all of them

that'd be lolworthy

[Lewwyn]

I would lynch gnome over EL, I think he’s been a bit scummy but in my conversation with him earlier in this day he came across more townie than gnome in the end

Day Two

The shrinking UMENSES remnant trudged along to confirm the status of the residential area in the complex, collecting and cataloging as they went. The work was quiet and wary. Though the Bionics' apparently-vitiated composition was a boon, the images they saw at roll call chilled them to the core. If there was an Alien Werewolf, what other bizarre and dangerous Bionic experiments still lurked in the bowels of the lair? And were they in their very midst, like the Bionics themselves?

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The troops were beginning to get used to the idea of an internal inquisition to root out disguised threats, though it contradicted their credo and experience. Naturally there was no consensus that could form out of such a process. A few interpersonal grudges and microfactions began to inflame the deliberation. Towards the end proceedings devolved into bare threats and fisticuffs.

ATTENTION, bellowed the Major over the clamor. There's only one way to resolve situations like these: a duel! ... Sergeant Visorslash, what now?

Sir, there actually is not tie. Despite 7%, ah, turnout, Lieutenant El-Ahrairah here has the plurality of votes for us to, um, frag him.

... oh. Alright then, bring forth the Tribute.

Before the Algerian commando could be rendered up, Captain McGinty hopped up and down, waving his hands. Sir! Sir! Please, leave to double vote on Garden Gnome for the tie? I'm pretty sure it's the Marine way.

Major Montmorency sighed heavily. Son, I know your pain. I am bitterly disappointed that we could not hold a proper duel to settle the matter today. Tradition says that a true Marine will always come out on top. At any rate, all of us have our guns pointed at the suspects, so if a Bionic were to try relying on their full complement of weapons and abilities we'd frazzle them in a second. But no, we'll follow the rules in this situation like proper military folk.

Lieutenant, get over here. For having brought dishonor upon your unit by drawing too many votes and interrupting a prospective duel in progress, the only appropriate penalty is death. Here. Fall on your sword and redeem yourself.

The Major handed the squinting, sweating, heaving, distress-ball of a once-hero a very large and jagged hunk of shrapnel. He must have just picked it off the ground on the spot, an artifact of the early fighting through the halls of the facility.

El-Ahrairah mechanically took the shrapnel into his hands in disbelief. Was this a dream? A nightmare?

After a minute of standing transfixed, the Major gently removed the helmet of the condemned and gazed directly into his eyes.

What a disappointment, Lieutenant. What a shame it had to come to this.

Grabbing the shrapnel, the Major rammed it upward into El-Ahrairah's exposed gorge; his eyes bulged in shock. When he collapsed flailing and gurgling to the ground, Montmorency jammed the metal further in with his boot.

As the struggling stopped, Major Montmorency raised his arms into the air for the quiet milling crowd to see.

No cowards under my command!

Subsequently the Marines prepared the Bionics' own bunks for the night.



El-Ahrairah was a

UMENSES Operator

You are a Marine, or maybe a whole fireteam of Marines, with at least 5 years of exemplary combat service.
Every one of you steely-eyed veterans has been blooded against the Bionics before.
The present battle engaged and after days of hard fighting both sides have nearly been wiped out.
Now, with the remnants of the Bionic command group cornered, you have your chance to fulfill your mission and return a hero.

You are Vanilla Town. You win when all threats to your mission are eliminated. Vote in the thread every day to liquidate potential threats.

There is a hard 125-post cap Days 1-3. Vote-only posts do not count toward the cap during EOD only. Twilight is always uncapped.

Twilight lasts for the next hour from this post.

Does el flipping town move your read on gnome at all?

having been the loudest duder on two town chops in a row now I expect not to die tonight and to have to fight for my life tomorrow.

Further towards scum.

I had two intense interactions on Day 2, one back and forth with El and one with Gnome. I came away from the one with El feeling he was town and came away from the one with Gnome feeling she was scum. Nothing following those changed that and in Gnomes case the feeling only intensified.

[NANOOK]

Why would you kill el

Big lol

[Winston Hughes]

need to have a look at pzelda again

any opinions?

[NANOOK]

I can't really complain that much I did forget eod was today

Still tho
