Pair Thread McMurdo Station Away Team, Night 1

[Zippedpinhead]

Hello Away Team,

Hopefully no one is wearing a red shirt...

 

[Maolfunction]

did someone grab the smores

 

[Natiko]

I demand a recount. Was supposed to be here with all the homies.

 

[Blargonaut]

fuck

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

I demand a recount. Was supposed to be here with all the homies.

:(

 

[Natiko]

:(

I asked if it was intentional that he was left out and told the gamerunner’s could not answer that. We’ve been had Ambo. Betrayed. Sent out to die by our own brother.

 

[Maolfunction]

I can sympathize with Natiko, somehow the person I voted for didn't wind up here.

 

[Natiko]

At least now we might find something of merit in the votes I guess.

Lol even as a gamerunner ATP is tunneling Chuggs

 

[HPSauce]

My OMGUS worked out!

 

[Hawthorn]

Hey away team. Who else was freaked out by that tentacle corpse??

 

[Maolfunction]

At least now we might find something of merit in the votes I guess.

Yeah, Chuggs had two votes, the start of D1 post said if there was more than 50% of the roster voted for, the low votes would be randomized. Chuggs not being here is intentional, not chance.

How reckless do you all feel? Anyone want to claim now?

 

[Kyanrute]

Oh, big chat. Boring.

 

[HPSauce]

Chuggs being absent is suspicious. One can only hope the base team will be having the same conversation. Assuming he's in there of course.

 

[Natiko]

Hey away team. Who else was freaked out by that tentacle corpse??

Wait, you mean that’s not normal?

Why tho

I don't see it working out well for them

 

[Maolfunction]

Why tho

Running with the assumption that the game starts with a low number of infected players, or even just one player infected, if we 9 town core tonight by claiming, it'll make it simpler to go through the remaining half of the roster.

If you're uninfected, you should be town, so there shouldn't be an issue unless you're already infected.

There's also a high chance it blows up in our faces but c'est la vie.

If everyone agrees then I’ll play ball.

 

[Kyanrute]

I'm game for claims.

Same

I'm down but if this game is what I think it is based on the flavor, we'd supply scum with all the info they need and it won't guarantee the townness of everyone here into late game

 

[Neki]

I hope all of us are innocent and none of us die, truly. Though maybe it's a cult so maybe none of us will die!

 

[Maolfunction]

It's definitely not without its risks, but the fact that there was no kill on D1 makes me think there's not a traditional mafia in the game as town not being able to kill them on the first day would be quite beneficial to them from the jump.

YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Hawthorn]

Could be the big team are in pairs and we’re the only ones in a thread with everybody together.

 

[Maolfunction]

I also have to assume the gamerunners are being consistent with their flavor and if there is a traditional mafia, they're most likely split up and don't have access to a shared chat tonight.

 

[HPSauce]

I'm more than happy to claim

 

[Maolfunction]

Alright, I'm vanilla. Woof.

 

[Hawthorn]

Didn’t refresh. I’m actually willing to claim and shake it up. This is an unusual enough game that I think town has to play somewhat aggressively to win

 

[Z-beat]

That's kinda my point. If that dog spawns a random scum from the base team and that scum gets even one of us we're proper fucked.

 

[Neki]

I'm gonna have to kill someone if we mass claim on day 1.

 

[Maolfunction]

If it means anything, I'm that dog.

C'mon Neki be cool

 

[Maolfunction]

I'm gonna have to kill someone if we mass claim on day 1.

Technically, it's N1

 

[HPSauce]

If it means anything, I'm that dog.

Lol

 

[HPSauce]

Okay

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Woof, I’m a vanilla town (good) doggy.

If it means anything, I'm that dog.

Ayyy

 

[Blargonaut]

I'm gonna have to kill someone if we mass claim on day 1.

It can't be me because if you kill me during me despising your guts for dragging me here that's motive usable against you in a court of law probably

 

[Natiko]

If it means anything, I'm that dog.

Wait I too am dog. Vanilla as well. I even breadcrumbed it a couple times (go check my first post in the game thread, also was being cheeky when I said play ball in here).

 

[Z-beat]

If it means anything, I'm that dog.

 

[HPSauce]

I'm sorry Maol are you claiming Scum?

 

[Maolfunction]

Wait I too am dog. Vanilla as well. I even breadcrumbed it a couple times (go check my first post in the game thread, also was being cheeky when I said play ball in here).

I breadcrumbed too when I told Randomless to keep an eye on that sled dog lol

 

[Z-beat]

Wait I too am dog. Vanilla as well. I even breadcrumbed it a couple times (go check my first post in the game thread, also was being cheeky when I said play ball in here).

Wait are you THAT dog or A dog because there are multiple dogs.

 

[Natiko]

Awe there’s so many good pups in here. Puppy Gang unite!

 

[Maolfunction]

I'm sorry Maol are you claiming Scum?

No, I'm town. vanilla, just a good dog

 

[Z-beat]

And one dog is not a good boi

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Lol can we rename this chat to the Paw Patrol.

 

[Natiko]

Wait are you THAT dog or A dog because there are multiple dogs.

I’m an Alaskan Marmalute

 

[Maolfunction]

Wait are you THAT dog or A dog because there are multiple dogs.

I'm specifically an Alaskan Malamute

 

[HPSauce]

I wonder if all vanilla are doggos then?

 

[Z-beat]

I’m an Alaskan Marmalute

That doesn't exactly narrow it down. They're all malamutes. One of them is sus

 

[Z-beat]

I wonder if all vanilla are doggos then?

Not all the dogs are good bois

 

[Maolfunction]

If one of you other puppos feel the urge to assimilate, you tell the rest of us.

 

[Natiko]

That doesn't exactly narrow it down. They're all malamutes. One of them is sus

I can’t birth things that aren’t in my role PM lol Worst case just start testing pups tomorrow if you want to go that far down the flavor hole. We’ll be able to pick three. Some real lack of claiming from some of you so far.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Who wants to explore with a little music?

 

[Z-beat]

If y'all are cool with it I'd like to iso the dogs (not metagame iso, like THIS game iso) since if I read that right it won't kill you unless you're sus and this is the only lead I got

 

[Maolfunction]

When you say ISO do you mean vote to test tomorrow, because I'm fine with that

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Works for me.

wow this is great thanks Neki

 

[Hawthorn]

Wait, you guys are all a bunch of dogs?? Who else is a dog?

 

[Z-beat]

it was late
A case rolled across my desk
"who let the dogs out?"
I knew why they'd picked me for the task
but was I up to it?
I decided to start with Louis
he knew all the back alley dogsledders

 

[Z-beat]

Wait, you guys are all a bunch of dogs?? Who else is a dog?

 

[Natiko]

Continuing to see people not claiming. Woof

 

[Z-beat]

Works for me.

One problem:

If I'm right then it's already too late for at least one person.

 

[Maolfunction]

honestly a game where there's no scum and only dogs is a huge upgrade

 

[Z-beat]

Continuing to see people not claiming. Woof

I'm breadcrumbing for now

But I'm watching close

 

[Maolfunction]

I'm breadcrumbing for now

But I'm watching close

are you breadcrumbing a 40s era private eye trapped in a noir film?

 

[Blargonaut]

Hey away team. Who else was freaked out by that tentacle corpse??

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

 

[Natiko]

One problem:

If I'm right then it's already too late for at least one person.

Perhaps you should be wondering why some people are hesitant now then lol

 

[Z-beat]

A thought just occurred to me: that corpse is still active...

 

[HPSauce]

Watch The Thing

 

[Maolfunction]

A thought just occurred to me: that corpse is still active...

only if it hasn't jumped to one unaccounted for canine body

 

[Maolfunction]

Watch The Thing

that's not a claim

 

[Z-beat]

Another thought occurred to me: the things all function independently of each other. What if there's a scum who doesn't know about the other scum? (I forgot what the actual role is called)

 

[Maolfunction]

that's possible, but that scum is usually isolated for the whole game and isn't able to kill people or communicate with his teammates

 

[Neki]

wow this is great thanks Neki

Don't blame this on me. Blame this on Randomless for putting me in this position.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

How about a little more music?

 

[HPSauce]

Is everyone gonna claim?

 

[Maolfunction]

Don't blame this on me. Blame this on Randomless for putting me in this position.

Where is your two's sense of adventure.

 

[Maolfunction]

Is everyone gonna claim?

Everyone but Neki and Blarg said they were game, and yet.

 

[HPSauce]

Its easier to claim when you're vanilla dog

 

[HPSauce]

That sentence reads dumb given that you're a Vanilla dog lol

 

[Z-beat]

I'm still worried about the risks. I'll need to do my own research

 

[Maolfunction]

there's less risk the more claims there are

 

[Maolfunction]

if there's scum in here they already know you all have PRs because the vanilla dogs have all claimed already

 

[Z-beat]

there's less risk the more claims there are

Scum gains nothing if I eat this horse paste instead

 

[Z-beat]

if there's scum in here they already know you all have PRs because the vanilla dogs have all claimed already

Have they? A solo sled tram consists of 4 to 6 dogs

 

[Hawthorn]

Anyway, I’m no dog. I’m Norris, a human, and I am a watcher. I’m on mobile now but will post more of my thoughts later. I’m not saying anything more about my role though.

 

[Maolfunction]

There's probably a few dogs over in the other half of players.

 

[Maolfunction]

That makes sense with this sort of game. I trust it.

 

[Natiko]

I hope the other side is also mass claiming and we go into D2 in the most absurd game state lol

 

[Z-beat]

Well I've got more info than I usually get on D1 so I'm Clark, the dog handler. The specifics of my role are best left to me for now but I can tell you that someone will be notified

 

[Maolfunction]

You can’t handle me, dog

 

[Blargonaut]

there's less risk the more claims there are

And how exactly did you come to that hypothesis

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

You can’t handle me, dog

Now now, we’re supposed to be good dogs.

 

[Maolfunction]

And how exactly did you come to that hypothesis

only a medical professional would attempt an autopsy
