TWG LXXII: The Chimera Code (Redux)

[Litodude]

trave safe. goodnight

[heavylee]

Hey guys, still not gonna be around much till Saturday. So anyone have any theories going yet?

[u84]

So that means he had to have been wolf scavenger, right? Because it says blues can't be killed by holding the shard, regardless of which one. But any wolf but the MW holding a pure shard will die. And if he couldn't have had it passed to him until end of night, he must have found it, making him the wolf scavenger. MW does not equal wolf scavenger. BUT: Human scavenger does equal blue, and blues can't be killed by either.

Damn. I tried to thoroughly explain all that, maybe I repeated myself once or twice, but I hope everyone understands. And if that's wrong, please let me know. If I'm right, woo! One wolf down!

Safety on gnr61 for now. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get on last night, since I had a LOT of homework to do. :/ But thankfully, all I seemed to have missed was conversation about how shards worked with wolves and humans.

Now to get on AIM and get up to date.

[heavylee]

safety on xcept for safetying on me... and it would suck to get a phantom on my first time back...

[pntballa18]

u84 for great justice

[freakysnots]

game sucks without me, revive please

[gnr61]

safe on roundbux for now.

[aTzUeLo1191]

Anyone want to get on AIM and get a chatroom going so we don't have to do this stupid safety stuff? Lets try not to have a KitB D1.

[jump_the_bullet]

i guess ill safety on tps for lack of a better target

[Temote]

Alright, with a general lack of anything really seeming to go on (at least on my side) and a few questionable comments, I'm going to have to give my vote to u84.

Litodude (10:02:08 PM):IF he had gotten a tainted shard
Litodude (10:02:11 PM):he dies
Litodude (10:02:13 PM):since he didn't use it
u84 77 (10:02:14 PM):item passes aren't instant, are they?
Litodude (10:02:19 PM):they're real time
Aksmooth77 (10:02:20 PM):or he couldve stole it as well
Litodude (10:02:24 PM):that's what bdn told me
u84 77 (10:02:25 PM):oh, really?
Litodude (10:02:31 PM):since he did say nights are extended
Sumote (10:02:32 PM):But, I'm still thinking he's more likely to have been a wolf, as why would someone randomly pass him an item if he were human.
u84 77 (10:02:32 PM):why isn't any of this in the OP..
Litodude (10:02:42 PM):look
Litodude (10:02:44 PM):if he was a wolf
Litodude (10:02:53 PM):he would not have told us that he had a shard
Litodude (10:02:59 PM):i'm confident that he would have used it
u84 77 (10:03:03 PM):ehh, Litodude (10:03:04 PM):to vigi someone
u84 77 (10:03:09 PM):not necessarily
u84 77 (10:03:17 PM):you have to remember there are lone wolves out there
Sumote (10:03:21 PM):Also, thieving doesn't take effect until the start of the next phase.
Sumote (10:03:26 PM):So if it were stolen, he wouldn't have died.
Sumote (10:03:34 PM):(For bullet)
u84 77 (10:03:42 PM):also true
Aksmooth77 (10:03:50 PM):ok yeah that makes sense

The first part. Lito pointed out to me that nowhere does it say that thieving takes effect the next day. I know thieving takes effect the next day because I'm Tair, but u84 would not be privy to this information without either having been told by me or the wolf thief, or in the event he is the wolf thief.

Sumote (10:13:14 PM): Wait, what?
u84 77 (10:13:15 PM): u84 77 (11:13:03 PM): but that could also lead to the uniting of the lonewolf and wolves
u84 77 (11:13:09 PM): if they both try to wolf seer
Litodude (10:13:21 PM): no
Litodude (10:13:23 PM): it doesn't work
Litodude (10:13:27 PM): if they both tried to wolf seer
Litodude (10:13:37 PM): then they're ****ing stupid and they wasted a wolving
Litodude (10:13:51 PM): the only thing they could possibly do
Litodude (10:13:58 PM): would randomly kill othr players
Sumote (10:13:59 PM): How would both of them targeting the same guy unite them?
Litodude (10:14:17 PM): in hopes of killing the guardian
u84 77 (10:14:21 PM): dont lone wolves find their wolves when they both wolf the same person?
Litodude (10:14:25 PM): no
Litodude (10:14:25 PM): wtf
u84 77 (10:14:29 PM): what?
Litodude (10:14:29 PM): read the thread nub
u84 77 (10:14:35 PM): how are they united then?
Litodude (10:14:42 PM): Lonewolf Masons. They are freshly infected, so they are still difficult for #000 to rein in.. They seer RED. By Night 5, they are told who the other wolves are and lose their kill ability.
Sumote (10:14:42 PM): It says night 5
Litodude (10:14:45 PM): A DURR DURR
u84 77 (10:14:49 PM): yeah
u84 77 (10:14:51 PM): but
Litodude (10:14:54 PM): but nothing
u84 77 (10:15:12 PM): isnt it standard that wolves and lonewolves unite when they wolf the same person?
Litodude (10:15:17 PM): wow
Litodude (10:15:17 PM): no
Litodude (10:15:19 PM): what the ****
u84 77 (10:15:21 PM): that's how ive always been taiught it works
u84 77 (10:15:25 PM): in eveyr game with lonewolves
Sumote (10:15:28 PM): Where are you even getting this? x_x
Litodude (10:15:32 PM): well you've been taught wrong
u84 77 (10:15:34 PM): my last games
Litodude (10:15:35 PM): shut up and listen now
u84 77 (10:15:38 PM): lol
u84 77 (10:15:43 PM): well ****
u84 77 (10:15:46 PM): that changed things

And the second thing that came up. Which games in particular are you even talking about that had both wolves and lonewolf masons? I can't seem to find anything in the history of TWG or jTWG that includes them at all.

[Brilliant Dynamite Neon]

Oh, I nearly forgot. I'm going to need a replacement for travman. I'll have day end at normal time, but won't continue the game until I can find a replacement.

Woah, calm down. I just thoroughly read the OP's. I would assume that thieving's would be listed as real-time if they were. That's why I asked. Secondly, I remember being told by some vet in one of my first games that lonewolves and wolves were united after they both tried to wolf the same person. This is why in my last mystery game I thought I was mixing it up from the norm by making the wolves discover each other only when they wolved a fellow wolf. Honestly, if this is all you have to go on, it's pretty dumb stuff to try and lynch someone for. But, hey, better than a KitB situation, I guess.

[Brilliant Dynamite Neon]

Sent an annoying activity prod cause you guys suck.

[Temote]

Oh god, my eyes. D=

[jump_the_bullet]

ill activity prod you xD

[Brilliant Dynamite Neon]

Day is over. We'll see who gets the boot after a while, I'm a bit tied up right now.

[Brilliant Dynamite Neon]

The first day is uneventful for the team. Of course, there is discussion about the grave situation that has fallen upon them, but nobody knows anything or has any ideas, so nothing really happens. The only event of note is when they come across a pond and fight off an attack by Chimera-infected ducks.

Back at the guard house, the sun is setting, and due to the lack of information the company has considerable trouble deciding who to send off.

"Why vote for the Commander?" Lia asks Exer.

"You heard what he said. It could be anyone, even him. Besides, is there anything to go off of?"

"But the Commander is the one who keeps everything running!" exclaims Mavin.

"Uh, I think he would be smart enough to appoint someone else if he were voted off," says Lain.

"Yeah, but if he really is a Chimera, he'll appoint one of his buddies, and they'll mislead us," adds Visark.

"Now, see here..." Mezera joins the discussion.

"Who are you voting for?"

"Is it any of your damn business?"

"Hey, what's your problem..."

So begins a volley of shallow arguments, ideas, and general bickering that leaves them not very far from where they started.

"Okay, guys," says Vee as the din settles. "I think I've got something. I cast my vote on Commander Mezera. It's not really much, but he seems a lot more interested in the Chimera than anyone else, that's for sure."

"Haven't you heard of threat assessment?" replies Mezera.

"Yes, but you also seem to want everyone to trust you. You are our commander, but we're capable of handling ourselves."

"You also went straight to the defensive side every time someone even hinted at the possibility of you being one of the infiltrators." says Exer. "I know the innocent need to defend themselves, but you just stood out."

"We know it isn't very smart, and it isn't even close to a majority vote, but it's all we've got. We have to get somebody."

The Commander stays silent for a long while. "Fine. So be it. You have made your choice. Visark, I appoint you as new commander. Everyone else, I wish you good luck."

Keevan and Axl escort the commander to the secure elevator leading to the prison. As he steps in, they lock the door from the outside and send the former commander on his way.

They rejoin the rest of Mobius squad. Bored out of their minds, the soldiers do various silly things until they go to bed.
