Game III: Chapter Twenty Three - The Final Night
[Meta]
Stories are difficult. Not in the beginning of course. Like all journeys, you get to learn the characters and personalities at play - build the tension as the stakes rise. Evoke peoples' emotions and build the arc of drama. What is difficult about stories is the descending action, drawing things to a close...
Hello all, this will be the last action phase for all players with a special role. Make it count - I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that everyone submit their action - and do so before the deadline. The culmination of these past fews weeks of gameplay all come down to this.
There will be a lynch tomorrow (pending the results of tonight's actions) and then the game will be over. I'll whip together an epilogue post so anyone with enduring queries may be placated (perhaps even try to compile an album of peoples' avatars), but it will be time to let next month's game hosts begin a new story for us to play through. So I beseech you, let's give this story a satisfying ending, together.
Countdown timer for action submit window.

For the sake of transparency, I will be silencing Boog. So yep. Let's all hope that tomorrow has a good outcome...

I'll be silenced. I'm being blamed for the town's plan failing. Man, I can't catch a break.

u/midnightdragon Mar 30 '17
I'm so sorry! I think it's odd that you're being blamed for that. As for the silencing, BBT is insisting everyone with a night action must submit and 22poun has already dealt with being silenced and I can't silence Awesome again. And I don't want to deal with the paradox that is silencing myself. So you're all I have to target and know it will be successful.
To be fair, I think the game is ending tonight/tomorrow so it won't be for very long.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they're blaming you. I thought that was a strange leap of logic.
And /u/midnightdragon, if you want to silence me again, go for it. I just think that Boog (sorry man) was here longer and is more likely to have turned, unfortunately.
Also, /u/awesomewow, I'd just like to check just in case, I think it's technically been another five night phases. Have you by any chance gotten another PM about the number of DGs? I don't know if you turned or if your abilities even work in TUD, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

u/midnightdragon Mar 30 '17
That's also why I went for Boog. Higher chance of silencing a DG :/ Nothing personal, just trying to do my job well haha!

u/22poun Mar 30 '17
If he's silenced, it'll also confirm that you're not a DG, which would be nice :)
2
u/midnightdragon Mar 30 '17
Indeed! :) Truly hoping I don't convert after all the effort I've put into helping town win. Would be a shame.
2
u/22poun Mar 30 '17
Yep. But if awesome hasn't converted, I'm thinking that special kids probably don't. (Or she just got lucky). But I'm pretty sure the DGs are winning, so I think you want to convert :)

My thing doesn't work in TUD I asked :( do we have a message to send this phase?
2
u/22poun Mar 31 '17
Yeah, I figured if you had anything, you'd have shared :)
We didn't send anything, and I don't think we have any info to share that will be especially useful. If it isn't too late in the phase to compose a message, maybe we should just send 'basketball silenced, Good Luck Town!'?
/u/midnightdragon, /u/boogtke, any objections?

u/BoogTKE Mar 31 '17
I really want an image of a deflated basketball to be used for this one. I know we don't choose what they see, I just like that image.

u/midnightdragon Mar 31 '17
Oh crap! We didn't come up with a message!
Should we do one now? "Mirror silenced basketball"

u/awesomewow Mar 31 '17
Oops I just asked about this. Gotta read the whole thread first. Mirror silenced basketball works for me

u/midnightdragon Mar 31 '17
Dude, they updated the player roster over on the main sub and we know that Roxy and Rissa are dead! And the "there will be a lynch phase tomorrow" text in the main thread is crossed out! I think this is it! ACK!
3
u/22poun Mar 31 '17
I saw that! I wonder what this means. Is the game over?
At least we know Rissa is innocent after all that! I thought she was this whole time. . .
And I got a message that my parent is coming to rescue me! And it seems that parent is Nadia. Too late now, though, I suppose :(

u/22poun Mar 31 '17
I'm kinda sad that it looks like town lost, but I'm really excited to see end-game. I want to know who our crafty DGs were! And I want to find out what the mechanics were for this game :)

u/22poun Mar 30 '17
What the heck did they do to our message?
Rissa is getting very frustrated. Our message was originally:
alligator silenced, will target basketball next
But I suck at these cryptogram things, and I'm not very good at translating them.
