Day 3, Take 1
Elizabeth woke with a startle. She was shaking all over her body and her sweat had soaked her duvet. She tried to calm down. After all it was just a bad dream. Just dream - nothing more. Her breathing came in quick and gusty gulps. It had been so upsetting. The horror she had seen felt real. It was like she had been there. And seen it all.
She forced her breath to slow down. Pulled the air all the way to her stomach and closed her eyes and tried to think of sunshine, green meadows, flowers, small puppies and cute kittens.
Then she laugh out loud. She was too big to believe in nightmare like this. So silly. So childish. She got out of bed to get a glass of water when she stepped on something on the floor. She looked down but couldn't make sense of anything in the darkness. She turned on the light.
It was a green leaf. And she turned pale noticing that the floor seemed covered with them.
It was like in her dream. She had been fighting for her life. Struggled with a man that suddenly turned into a giant plant covered in pods that seemed to spread as he grew bigger and bigger.
A scream was heard in the house. Then silence. No one seemed to notice. Or perhaps the house was empty and no one could notice...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dirx, The Mad Scientist, is dead.
Day 3 will last 3 days, ending at about 7 PM Chicago time on Thursday, September 22nd

interesting that dirx doesn't get the not recruited death reveal. must have been self innoculating. but that really doesn't make sense either. because the pod folks must have known that sooner or later he would probably not self innoculate so why kill a potential team member? kind of odd.

How are you figuring there's a recruited vs. non-recruited death reveal, peeks? Am I misreading something?

Sorry I missed all of yesterday, but I got busy, and forgot to come and play.
Given that Inner was the MPP and he was very, very quick to defend me. I think that I am on his recruit list. Either that or he was going for an I told you so vibe. I'm almost tempted to push for my own lynch at this point.

mod question: would a recruit know who potential future recruits are or does that knowledge die with the mpp?
i mean it's a real stretch that the mpp wouldn't post who the other ones will be or potentially be and in the order that they are expected even if he is just sitting on a board by his lonesome. but carp it is about the only thing that makes sense.
note to self: remember hoopy's admonition.
another mod question: are there any roles that are not specifically specified (kind of an odd alliteration) in the game?

Either that or he was going for an I told you so vibe. I'm almost tempted to push for my own lynch at this point. I looked back at this and I'm not sure that Inner was defending you so much as defending the idea that the reporter should claim. I am still hoping that the drunk and shrink looked at you on night one, and since neither of them has reported anything, I am leaning toward thinking that you are clean. Since Inner was the only scum on Day 1, and the only one who knew how many recruits there were, it is now obvious that Silver Jan's slip was just a misspeak and not PIS. Does anyone have a clue about who Inner's recruits might have been? He said If I were the MPP, I'd pick people that I knew were going to not get lynched right away and that were definitely going to be playing the game regularly. But unless anyone has an idea who the MPP is, this discussion will only come in useful as a reference in the days down the line. I know I don't really feel like making a possible recruits list for all of the other players. but I'm not sure that helps me very much.

and fuck it i like stirring the shit. did anyone get a role pm that is not as specified in the rules and roles thread? it could merely be mod oversight and could be a hoopy* but i am curious.
*the reason i keep referencing hoopy is because he made an observation about gastard games that haunts me. and this is a parapharase but it was along the lines of: there is nothing that a mod can do that would be so fucked up as the players can do to themselves. kind of cracked me up. so the perfect gastard game would be along the lines of straight up mafia. heh heh. add a chia bingo master, however.

[sneaks in]
Hey, peek. Check the sig. It's the exact sentence I used in that post. And I came to that realization after running two gastard games, particularly with the all serial killer false-flip mafia. Mainly because even with the trick to an "everyone wins" victory was staring the players in the face, one of them decided to get clever and thereby not only cost himself the game but also one of the other players and led to a solo victory for the third remaining player.

mod question: would a recruit know who potential future recruits are or does that knowledge die with the mpp? No mechanism was designed to allow a recruit to know the identity of future recruits. This is an open game. The only roles present are the ones listed. The only role that may be repeated is the Citizen role. There were 9 Citizens to start the game. Every other role only occurs once. The only information not given is the number of recruitment attempts allowed.

It could be that Inner wanted the rest of us to think that and he never actually mentioned any of his recruits?

does ed[/b['s answer to my first question give us some hope that a recruited pod killed one that was set to be recruited? or is that too much of an optimistic assumption?

(FTFY, peek) There is a non-zero chance that this is what happened, but without knowing what conversation went on between IS and his pods before his death we won't know for 100% certain until endGame, I expect.

Or, with the mod's last post that I should have READ before posting, I suppose it went down to a zero chance after all.

It's great that the MPP is dead but the people he picked are still going to turn into Pods.

Since Inner was the only scum on Day 1, and the only one who knew how many recruits there were, it is now obvious that Silver Jan's slip was just a misspeak and not PIS. Agreed, Red is looking clean but with the caveats Dirx posted yesterDay. Jan is obviously not the MPP and, unless he was bussing her, Inner's self-preservation vote on Jan would indicate she's not a pod/recruit either. Likewise, if the N1 recruit was successful, it's likely not one of Peeker, Deni and PolluxOil due to their votes on Inner.

But that doesn't mean peek, deni, or PolluxO couldn't have been the N2 recruit, so let's not go assuming they're cleared.

Whew, I'm sure that's a load off everyone's back since they can trust me at my word. In seriousness, though. Inner's vote on Silver Jan to save himself is a lot of WIFOM at this point. I can see the MPP sacrificing someone he planned to recruit to gain some cred. So I don't think his vote clears Jan one way or the other. Since we know that Inner was the MPP, his "gameplay style change" that Dirx picked up on wasn't related to recruiting. I'm going to reread Day One and Day Two and look for a more substantial change that might signify a recruit.

It would really be nice to be cleared However most of us can't be cleared cos we didn't know if we are pods (genetic you/we). At the moment we have 2 people that have had to change sides and that is hard to do. I know I have been cleared from D1 but I don't know if I have been podded, and neither do most of us. There should be 2 people that know?
