TIG: LXV - Our fate lies with...them? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Let's see here...

I can't see casting away Butterfingers (Brin). Her destructive powers could be extremely useful, like if Dark Monarch builds some sort of death ray that needs to be mangled.

Leaf Man (Hakon) would be valuable in forest spy-type missions.

Hover Girl (Lari) could come in handy if there is a booby-trapped floor to get across.

Athlete's Foot Man (Morm) would be very handy in survival situations with his ability to produce something edible from nothing.

If they start looking shifty, then naturally I'll change my position, but for now I'd like to keep these folks out of the noose. And actually, speaking of noose... how exactly are we going to do away with our daily selections? I don't think we even have a rope handy, and it doesn't appear that any of you are the weapon-toting superhero types.

Explain please. And do it forward. You've proven you can type backwards (though you made a couple of errors dearie), but as I have expressed no great talent at reading your chosen method of communication, perhaps you could shift for a bit out of consideration.

I suspect they've read every game I've ever played in. If they did so, their behavior is to be expected.

Ordinarily I would have answered, "I dunno", but Candor Man does not dance around questions. He may refuse to answer, but he does not deceive.

Seeing as an "Omaha accent" is basically the lack of an accent, that hardly seems like a compliment.

I specifically told them to leave codes that could only be pointed out, not actually seen by reading (in other words, very very low risk- no risk if they do it right). The clues would be to prove their identities should it be necessary come lynch time (or to challenge a false claim).

That is a good idea, and not a trap. So says Candor Man.

This may not be a trap, but it is not a good idea. .resreveR eht syas oS

I mean, what's the point? Baddies can leave gifted clues too.

All right, Duck Whisperer, hand it over. How'd you do that?

(And I know. I don't have one either, but it fit the quote so

)

How did I do that? Well...

Okay, actually not. I cannot lie. That is not how I did it. But I choose to not answer the question.

I have a feeling this is going to be really interesting come tomorrow morning. In the meantime I'm going to go to bed since I have to go to work tomorrrow morning.

Don't highlight stuff that isn't voting. Boro will modfire for stuff like that I bet. Don't test him.
