WW LXXIII: Arkham Asylum: Holding Cells(Game Thread)

Batman sat in the Stopped Elevator alone. He Bangedthe Console. The Welcome Screen Fizzled to life. "Hey Bats! Sorry for the Delay! We had to tweak the party a bit before the Game could begin. HAHAHA"

With that the elevator shuttered into motion. He descended into the depths of the madhouse. When the bottom was finally reached he walked into a Hallway with rooms on either side not marked in any way.

Another screen was at the end of the hall. . "Hey Bats! Change of plans. We have 5 Wackos down here Two Guards. Two Bad Guys and Twoface! Tick-Tock Tick-Tock I hear a Croc. And I'm Itchy maybe some Poison Ivy? Have fun trying to sort it out! HAHAHA"


2 Guards
5 Patients
2 Baddies
1 Cobbler(NOT cursed)
1 Ranger

Alive(For Now HAHAHA)

Nerwen
Glirdan
Sally
Durelin
Boro
Nogrod
Wilwa
Isabel
Kitanna
Pitchwife
Loslote

Woot! This means I get first post.

I actually have a humorous topic-related story. So, this one time, there was a high school test over Immigration and an ID on Jane Addams. To which the student answered "I have no idea, so I'm going to draw you a picture of the batmobile exploding and batman tripping off a tall building...you know you're jealous."

Aside from the fact it was a pretty good drawing, I wanted to award full points for the question for the very fact that Batman was defeated by tripping over his own feet and falling from a great height, even though it had nothing to do with Jane Addams. Clearly this student was mocking the failure of the most disturbingly insane villain ever, the Joker, at defeating the Great Bat.

Not much pressure and I'm not very nervous,
That's when I clicked reply, googled the lyrics
and chose a silly song

So I click reply now
And parody the song,
And the werewolves run away
Typing the words like yeah,
Singing the song like yeah,
And I google lyrics,
To parody the song
I know I'm gonna be normal
Yeah, It's a party on the Barrow Downs

Well I'm the first post of the day
Everybody's lookin at me now
Like “who's this Lottie, that's posting first?
She's gotta be a werewolf, yeah.”

So hard without a seer playing
Its definitely smaller than I'm used to
Cause nothing's going on yet
But I'm not good at quiet

My eyes are rolling and I'm feelin a little boredom
Not much pressure and I'm not very nervous,
That's when I clicked reply, googled the lyrics

List! Muahaha.

Nerwen - evil. First post in the admin thread.
Glirdan - evil. Just look at his avie!
Sally - evil. Has a themed avie.
Durelin - evil. I've never played with (her?) before, so clearly evil.
Boro - evil. Messed up my first post song plus spoke sense last Night.
Nogrod - evil. Signed up later than several other people.
Wilwa - evil. Likes Alice in Wonderland.
Isabel - evil. Is sharing a room with Nerwen, which clearly means they're in cahoots! And, as Nerwen has already been established as evil, she must be too!
Kitanna - evil. I've never played with her before, either.
Pitchie - evil. Predicted exactly what I just did.
Lottie - amazingly good. Just sayin'.

Oooh, it's starting. *claps*

More Alice quotes?

There's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is -- The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours

Lottie, Alice in Wonderland is the bestest story ever. You're clearly evil for thinking otherwise.

All of the players are as follows:

Nerwen
Glirdan
Sally
Durelin
Boro
Nogrod
Wilwa
Isabel
Kitanna
Pitchwife
Loslote

That is 11. So hypothetically if we never lynch a wolf then it would take them until about Day 4 to win. Which is 4 lynches. That is also assuming though that the Ranger never makes a save. SO, we have quite wonderful chances, since 4 lynches is a lot and we have a Ranger. But I guess there's a cobbler too out there, so we kinda have to watch out for them, but them not being cursed is actually one less thing to worry about.

Anyway, I'm exhausted and have 2 tests tomorrow, so I need to go sleep. I should be on randomly in the morning.

So is this a party? I don't like parties. They make me nervous. Too many people, all acting like they like each other.

And I have a headache.

They tell me I should be left alone, but I don't really like being alone. But I'd really just rather you all went away.

I'm hungry. I think I could lunch any of you right now. I mean lynch.

I did not see anything in Boro's post that looked nefarious.
If there was something to it, then ha; otherwise o.O

Another note about Clowns, and a bit of a fun story. When I was a younger lass; I walked into an arcade with my sister, and the gal behind the counter ran from me. I thought it odd, I did not know her and I am just a young kid, why would I warrant a running away from. I guess she was terrified of clowns, and I had been wearing a sweatshirt with a clown on it. I found it amusing. xD

I do not think it far fetched to say that the majority of posts toDay will be filled with banter that perhaps far surpasses the typical crazy antics of first Days. So things being exploded out of proportion every which way, is I think overoffensive or overdefensive. Whichever way the Jester hat jingles.

I disagree with the sentiment that you can never have too much joking. If the amount of joking is weighted against the actual playing, and is found to be heavier; then it is a bad time we will have in catching the wolves. As it means people can just hide behind the joke aspect of the game, which includes the wolves and cobblers. Then it will mean a tougher time distinguishing between actual joking around and showboat joking. Savvy? (I felt the need of a pirate ending to that statement.)

I'd say this is pretty open:

*shrugs* I can't tell. He could be slipping into being Mr. Agreeable again, but I'm not sure. I'd like to look at him more toMorrow.

The statement about joking? 'Twas a joke, dear.

An inner monologue.

- You should say what you mean.

- I do, at least I mean what I say - that's the same thing you know.

- You might just as well say that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like".

- You might as well say that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe..."

- Say? Mean? Like? Sleep?

- Breathe... Sleep...



Well Pitch, this doesn't make me especially happy, but with Lottie's latest "I'd like to see him toMorrow" I need to stick to something I do think plausible.

++ Pitch


EDIT: X'd with Dury and Pitch
