TOADSTOOL TRAITOR 3 - [WINNER FINALLY REVEALED!!]

[Litral]

Gasp! Why did I succumb to sleep?

[Litral]

I love the Mole, I love Mario, and I love Blackberry's games.

Deadline is 48 hrs from Task 19 post.

yeah, i think that means I'm in.

I wish.

[Litral]

vote: GreenLiquid

. My guess is that the leader may have the chance to betray us for an immunity, and GreenLiquid doesn't need immunities from what I've read.

Yoshi!

And guys, please don't try to fake the traitor by screwing over tasks, you barely got enough stars in both TT1 and TT2...

[Litral]

Meta Knight continues, "...I don't think he trusts us.

Wonder why?

[Litral]

You all do realize that you only have 1 vote right?

You may change your vote at any time.

Not too worried.

[Litral]

Bit early for rivalries, don't you think?

[Litral]

vote pickem

hes never let us down before, and besides its tradition and GL was traitor in the first game wasn't he?

You mean TT1? That was Guardian I believe, and GreenLiquid scored perfect scores on the first three tests (but missed the next one). I'm expecting the "immunity or stars" test of loyalty here.

[Litral]

I suspect BB may have earlier planned for 30 people to play this game, thus a majority would be 16.

Let's bandwagon GL before he can speak!

[Litral]

vote pickem

That was TT2 wasnt it?

Wasn't TT2 with Eteocles and the 70-star lucky guess question?

[Litral]

It's even less potentially damaging than a 23 townie 1 SK setup, since the leader can't make themselves do the tasks...

To me, informed decision = reaching a decision. I'm also worried about sabotage on purpose and GL seemed unlikely to do such a thing. It's a good choice.

[Litral]

Chelseafan, is your number 77 or 38.5? I'm guessing it's 77, so here is me modifying the list (change it back if I'm just being a smart ass):

I'm not bothered about PEG taking the heart container. It's to be expected. But we should also expect not to have enough stars; the past two games tell us that much at least. Clearly, PEG is very satisfied with what he has seen of our group's ability.

My information:
1. Diddy Kong

(Lawrencelot)

need to send Meta the favorite item of Donkey Kong

(charter)

.
2. My favorite item has been sent to Pikachu (Wizardcat)
3. Here's a list of who needs to send Meta the favorite item of whom:

PEG: SSF --> scigatts
hascow: Wizardcat --> Litral
(someone): hascow --> ssf
Flash: cybele --> Lawrencelot
klebian: Flameaxe --> MafiaSSK
MafiaSSK: Gamma --> SensFan
Cybele: Litral --> farside22
Lawrencelot: Flashstorm --> Flameaxe
Chelseafan: UROE --> Moonie
Litral: Lawrencelot --> charter

The first name is "who said that", the second name is "who needs to send it", and the last name is "whose item". This is just to discourage wanton sabotage...

[Litral]

Current list of item sending.

PEG: SSF --> scigatts
hascow: Wizardcat --> Litral
(someone): hascow --> ssf
Flash: cybele --> Lawrencelot
klebian: Flameaxe --> MafiaSSK
MafiaSSK: Gamma --> SensFan
Cybele: Litral --> farside22
Lawrencelot: Flashstorm --> Flameaxe
Chelseafan: UROE --> Moonie
Litral: Lawrencelot --> charter
farside: Scitgatt --> Porochaz
SSF: Pickem --> Wizardcat
bird: Moonie --> klebian
GL: JDodge --> PMG
charter: Iron Man --> flashstorm
Flameaxe: klebian --> UROE
Gamma: MafiaSSK --> JDodge
UROE: Chelseafan --> Iron Man
Iron Man: charter --> hascow

Farside, the current pattern tells me most likely only I need to send in your item.

Can the person who told hasdgfas to send in SSF's favorite item stand up please?

We're lacking 6 claims of item-sending, I believe.

[Litral]

There we go

PEG: SSF --> scigatts
hascow: Wizardcat --> Litral
Wizardcat: hascow --> ssf
Flash: cybele --> Lawrencelot
klebian: Flameaxe --> MafiaSSK
MafiaSSK: Gamma --> SensFan
Cybele: Litral --> farside22
Lawrencelot: Flashstorm --> Flameaxe
Chelseafan: UROE --> Moonie
Litral: Lawrencelot --> charter

Added in information.

[Litral]

We're missing JDodge, Porochaz, Moonie, SensFan and MafiaSSK for Task 3.

Flameaxe, do you have MafiaSSK's info?

[Litral]

And we have about 2 and a half days left.

[Litral]

What is that challenge about? Any ideas at all?

[Litral]

I think SSF won.

[Litral]

Llama, my memory tells me we're missing some info from you. That info (should) be "who should tell BB whose favorite item".

[Litral]

Okay, that's good. I'm just looking for accountability, you know. Secrecy lets the traitor lie.

[Litral]

No, I don't think PEG getting one makes sense. He's taught us he's capable of dicking around if pissed off. We can't guarantee we'll do everything according to His Majesty's exact wishes from now on. His best argument is "Since I've already been mean enough, I can't possibly be mean from now on." That's like a mass murderer saying he's killed enough people to ensure he'll be the most productive member of society ever.

[Litral]

You need a reason to dick around?

[Litral]

No, I don't think PEG getting one makes sense. He's taught us he's capable of dicking around if pissed off. We can't guarantee we'll do everything according to His Majesty's exact wishes from now on. His best argument is "Since I've already been mean enough, I can't possibly be mean from now on." That's like a mass murderer saying he's killed enough people to ensure he'll be the most productive member of society ever.

Thats a horrible analogy... really. I would like PEG to be in as his incentive to dick around is low compared to everyone elses. There is no way he can be eliminated at the quiz so has no need to try and make people think its him. PEG is the best bet for someone not taking the free pass, PEG is the best bet at having someone not dick around. If he dicks around some more then fine you can be pissed at me too, but I want him doing a puzzle.

Remember, the other solo missions occur in the following rounds.

Missing, beside JDodge, Moonie and MafiaSSK.

[Litral]

This is the way JDodge does things, I think. We can double check it as many times as we want before he reveals his number.

[Litral]

I kept track. There was no new info since I posted it last time.

[Litral]

JDodge, deadline is August 19 7 PM GMT, which is about 13 hours later.

I have double checked the list right from everyone's posts that stated their favourite numbers. The list is correct; nothing was "lost"... I have also checked the list to see if it's a proper translation of the equation. It is.

Since Fox's number doesn't count, the list should sum up somewhat like this, x being your favourite number:

Positive(+)

(565.14159 + 2x)

Negative(-)

(478)

Of course, I offer no guarantees that I am not the traitor.

[Litral]

Simulpost, Cybele Yeah, so that's what I got too.

[Litral]

Guys, what's the point of even attempting task 3? The Traitor is obviously just going to post the wrong number, and it will be imposible to discern who did it.

If you all insist, my number is also 42, but I'm going to be diverting my attention to the other tasks.

we got it right last time.

Also, BB posts the right numbers at the end, I believe.

I think I've seen BB post this game two or three times and the players never got it right (once in TT2, once/twice in some sort of Survivor game).

[Litral]

About 4 or 5 hours left. supposedly it is 2x + 39.14159.

[Litral]

Cough.

One hour, 27 minutes.

[Litral]

Did anyone look to see what numbers were wrong? Hmm somethings things to worth noting.

I noticed something, you lied to me about your special item.

[Litral]

It's because some numbers are calculated twice, farside. I just checked, everyone's number is correct.

And assuming JDodge's is 42 would net us 173.14159.

I think something is wrong though, double checking.

[Litral]

Sorry, assuming Jdodge's is 42 would net us 123.14159. SSF, you missed the fact that Fox's 24 is also calculated.

@farside: Well what can I say, BB wanted to confuse us.

Okay, to summarize: Everyone told their favourite number entirely truthfully. The calculations were correct (2x+39.14159). SSF guessed JDodge's was 42 but forgot to take into account -48 from Fox, so he got 171.14159.

[Litral]

Olimar and Yoshi sent in an incorrect item.

Lucario claimed his item in the thread, thus any solutions with the word CLOAKING DEVICE would be void. Pit sent in Cloaking Device, but it was void due to Lucario's breach of rules.

Bowser, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Lucario, Snake and Sonic all attempted a submission, but did not include the item in the title, thus their submission was void.

Falco, Fox, Link, Mr. Game & Watch, and Pokemon Trainer did not send in a submission.

This is just sad.

[Litral]

Yeah, I want to know that too. And who's the other person who asked about your favourite item, farside?

Anyway, thanks SSF, you are win!

[Litral]

Anyway, thanks SSF, you are win!

are you serious???... blows my mind.

Yes.

Apparently lots of things are incomprehensible to you.

[Litral]

Pfft. PEG, if you want to be selfish, that's fine, but at least have the balls to do so without blaming everything on everyone else.

[Litral]

??

Welcome to my island!



Stay a while, have fun, collect the stars, and don't tease the Piranha plants!

All scummy and oily people will be eaten with extreme prejudice.


^ What the Yoshi Elder wants. The reason is as simple as it is relentlessly complex, so I will not be explaining to you.

Blackberry, I'm not a visitor. Yoshi Elder is buddies with me. Can I not post question marks?

I have thought up a plan so that we may tackle Task One easier. Post this: "??" at the top without anything else. Once that becomes a trend, it will be much easier to follow (because you'll be reminded of it whenever you see any post).

[Litral]

??

GL trusts Llama? Well I suppose that is reasonable...

[Litral]

??

SSF is right.

Ways one could slip:
1) Quick replying
2) Swearing at someone
3) Posting while drunk
4) Making a joke
5) Being the evil traitor?
etc. etc. etc.

I'm just hoping the question mark at the top is weird and unusual enough to remind you at all times we are now experiencing the evil fun of Task One.

We should follow charter's plan for now. I won't be posting until Task Two appears.

[Litral]

So we lost Task One within two pages, right? Meh, I expected to complete at least half of Task Two. I wish you guys followed my plan...

I am good at memory

I'm off to fight Rayquaza. I request we all observe this rule: Post with at least two people between you!

We now have 20 stars out of 85.

[Litral]

* Also: If you post in the WRONG battle thread you will have left your battlefield and your battle team will automatically lose.

Please note.

[Litral]

no stars will be earned for that species.

We can still earn stars.

I swim out and rescue a Mr. Saturn

1 Mr. Saturns
2 Bob-ombs
4 Freezies
6 Goombas

[Litral]

3 Freezies
2 Goombas
(1 Bob-omb)

The last bob-omb wouldn't be there if Cybele bolded his statement. Please do so, Cybele.

I vote: LlamaFluff rolls a dice to determine who among those who have not rescued gets the exemption.

[Litral]

1. Bowser (farside22)
2. Captain Falcon (Cybele)
3. Donkey Kong (charter)
4. Fox (orangepenguin)
5. Kirby (Scitgatt)
6. Pikachu (Wizardcat)
7. Snake (Chelseafan)

[Litral]

I think you two should tell us explicitly you'd allow someone to throw the dice in order to decide it. Not Llama, he's gone for a while.

[Litral]

Petey Piranha Pow-Posting People, hurry up.

I don't think voting makes sense. It's not like any of us have actually earned stars (except SSF, but then again he lost some too), so the only real benefit is to vote someone who you think is the traitor (so no one really gets the exemption), but obviously we're not going to do that.

[Litral]

Rayquaza is done. Hurry up Piranha guys.

Yoshi (Litral): 246
Ice Climbers (Klebian): 241
Pokemon Trainer (bird1111): 163
Donkey Kong (charter): 158
King Dedede (somestrangeflea): 64
Pikachu (Wizardcat): 59
Lucas (LlamaFluff): 32
Ness (SensFan): 27
Jigglypuff (hasdgfas): 10

Great work guys.

Hey, logically we should be able to help the Piranha guys now, right?

Okay llama, roll a dice next time you visit.

[Litral]

A six-sided dice.

1. Bowser (farside22)
2. Donkey Kong (charter)
3. Fox (orangepenguin)
4. Kirby (Scitgatt)
5. Pikachu (Wizardcat)
6. Snake (Chelseafan)

Everyone agrees to it completely. No regrets. If you still hold out after the dice doesn't roll your way, you're definitely not getting the exemption nor getting us stars, because the person who got lucky would never give up their exemption with such conditions.

[Litral]

... believe it or not I actually did it wrong. Orangepenguin already rescued a freezie...

1. Bowser (farside22)
2. Donkey Kong (charter)
3. Kirby (Scitgatt)
4. Pikachu (Wizardcat)
5. Snake (Chelseafan)

Roll it again please.

[Litral]

2 Freezies and 2 Goombas.

[Litral]

The deadline is within 14 hours.

2 Goombas, 2 Freezies. Make it quick.

[Litral]

I SWIM OUT AND SAVE A GOOMBA

Next time I'm not going to do this.

The only reason not to do this is if you were the traitor.

Chelseafan is never going to give up his exemption, and we have very few stars. There's nothing to gain by holding out.

[Litral]

Got mine.

The maximum is 30 stars, and I don't see us getting anywhere above 16... so uh, good luck guys.

[Litral]

...

...

...

...

...

...

The answer is 333333.

Two questions.
Llama, why did you choose PEG?
PEG, if an exemption were given, would you take it?

[Litral]

Yeah, well, you see, King Dedede's the only one who has demonstrated he'll give up an exemption, and Peach's the only one who has demonstrated he'll take the exemption, and you choose Peach

Not that I blame Peach.

[Litral]

The capital of Russia would be Fortytwoski. Obviously.

[Litral]

Wait, what?

[Litral]

Blackberry, check your inbox for the message which I sent on Sat Aug 30, 2008 10:02 pm (GMT). I gave you a response.

[Litral]

Noo! My fellow Yoshi(s)! I will avenge thee!

I have a sneaking suspicion that task eleven follows the TT name list - so that WO + RD = WORD.

Bowser (farside22)
Donkey Kong (charter) - MO
Ice Climbers (klebian) - WO
Jigglypuff (hasdgfas) - RD
King Dedede (somestrangeflea)
Kirby (Scitgatt) - PA
Link (Porochaz)
Lucario (MafiaSSK)
Lucas (LlamaFluff) - IC
Ness (SensFan)
Pikachu (Wizardcat)
Sonic (Iron Man/skitzer)
Yoshi (Litral)

Then again I can't think of a four letter word ending in MO and making sense in our context.

I'm not posting mine until I figure out it doesn't say "you'll get stars if you don't post your info in the thread".

[Litral]

Ah what the hell.

Freezie's info:
US

[Litral]

Bowser (farside22)
Donkey Kong (charter) - MO
Ice Climbers (klebian) - WO
Jigglypuff (hasdgfas) - RD
King Dedede (somestrangeflea) - SS
Kirby (Scitgatt) - PA
Link (Porochaz)
Lucario (MafiaSSK)
Lucas (LlamaFluff) - IC
Ness (SensFan)
Pikachu (Wizardcat)
Sonic (Iron Man/skitzer)
Yoshi (Litral) - US

Hmm :/

[Litral]

I agree no more cells.

[Litral]

Heck I'm happy enough with 12 stars.

Next door:
Get 2 stars chance = 11/14
Lose 12 stars chance = 3/14

So there's almost no gain from opening a door, not to mention someone could figure out the hint... (I tried, no luck).

Opening 3 more cells has a 55% chance of losing us all of our stars, while the 45% chance stands for only gaining 6 stars. Not worth it at all.

[Litral]

Oh well. SSF got us some stars, then farside decided we didn't really need stars.

LlamaFluff, if you choose me for the solo mission, I will get the stars to the best of my ability. You have my guarantee. I pegged it on the exchange market against a Pooky guarantee at 1:1 value, so yeah, it's valuable!

[Litral]

No, BB probably didn't write that. Too many spelling mistakes. Chances are someone just wanted to find out who wasn't trustworthy.

[Litral]

To the seven of you who don't know what the hell is going on, someone using the Iceman account sent a PM to me, Porochaz, SSF, Scit, Sens, and charter, asking us to post what Sens just did and receive an exemption at a cost of 20 stars.

Now if Blackberry actually sent that, he would've first of all also noticed that we've finished task eleven, so he would update the thread; second, there's no reason to use the Iceman account; third, the traitor shouldn't be allowed to do this, but there is no sign they can't, unless the six of us aren't traitors, which would be a huge tip-off; fourth, this sort of thing is unprecedented in TT games; fifth, the spelling in the PM is pretty bad, doesn't seem to be up to BB's usual standard.

[Litral]

A more specific version you mean

I found no breakthroughs. I'm on the verge of writing a simple program that can solve this.

[Litral]

In fact I think I'll do it in 8 hours.

[Litral]

Drat. I finished the little program and suddenly realized it probably isn't powerful enough to solve it. There are far too many possibilities after all....

[Litral]

Interesting. The words without a are:

Cell
Encounter
Hill
Killer
Lick
Liquid
Mission
Moon
Night
Only
Quit
Solid
Stud
Trust

But only at most 6 of them are correct (if alaska and alliance are both in).

Assuming neither alaska nor alliance is correct, only 3 of those words are correct.

One of them is either liquid or quit, considering q.

Considering s, base, island, solid, stud and trust are all correct if mission is not correct, but this is impossible as now there are 4 words correct in the above list, so mission must be correct, and one among solid, stud and trust is correct.

Then the following words must be incorrect:

Cell
Encounter
Hill
Killer
Lick
Moon
Night
Only

However, then there is no word that contains h, so we have a contradiction. This means that at least one of alaska and alliance is correct.

.... tiny conclusion, but anyway...

SSF: You missed alliance in the l series.

[Litral]

SSF: You missed dead and deal in the a list...

... the deadline is 2 hours later.

I find it justified for me to do this. I have my logic below:

If ALASKA is not correct, alliance must be correct:

7 more words from:
Agent
Angry
Army
Car
Dead
Deal
Gear
Island
Liar
Metal
Mountain
Traitor

ONE: Alliance
ONE: Ball, base, break
ONE: Liquid, quit
ONE: hill or night
Suppose BREAK is correct, then base and ball are not correct; we need at least THREE other words, including mission, from the s series. There is a contradiction.
Suppose Break is then not correct, and suppose further base is correct, we still need TWO other words from the s series. There are at least fourteen words.

This means that Alaska is most likely correct.

I'm going to look for the rest of them...

[Litral]

Screw it, I'm doing this. Sorry if I'm wrong.

I would like to submit the word: Alaska.

[Litral]

By the way, what I did was count the number of words that had to be formed if alaska was not formed. 7 words with a would have to be formed (two given to alliance and one given to either base/ball/break), etc. This would eventually result in at least 14 words having to be formed in order to satisfy certain letters (maybe 15 or 16 if I consider everything)

Might have counted wrong of course...

[Litral]

I

think

I just proved that mission is also in there if alaska is in there.

This is what I wrote down as I thought.

SUPPOSE: MISSION IS INCORRECT
THEN: Base, island, solid are all correct (s)
ONE of stud and trust is correct, the other is incorrect (s)
BALL is incorrect (b)
ENCOUNTER is incorrect, MOUNTAIN is incorrect (u)
METAL, ARMY, MOON are thus all correct (m)
ANGRY and ONLY are thus incorrect (y)
TRAITOR is incorrect (o)
QUIT, METAL, AGENT, NIGHT are all correct (t)
HILL is incorrect (h)
GEAR is incorrect (g)
Not enough R

[Litral]

Deadline is 4 hours, sorry, someone get online plox.

[Litral]

More thinking, if alaska and mission are both correct.

If MOON is correct,
ENCOUNTER, MOUNTAIN, ONLY, SOLID, TRAITOR are all incorrect (O)
AGENT, METAL, NIGHT, QUIT, (STUD OR TRUST) are all correct (T & U)
LIQUID is incorrect (Q)
ARMY is incorrect (M)
ANGRY is thus correct (Y)
Since ANGRY, AGENT, NIGHT all correct, 3 Gs.

Thus Moon is not correct.

[Litral]

Encounter would follow if alaska and mission is correct.


If: Encounter is incorrect,
SEVEN of those are correct, from the E list:
Agent
Alliance
Base
Cell
Dead
Deal
Gear
Metal

All of those words contain an "A". Since Alaska is correct, at most seven A's can be used. However, one of army and mountain must be correct if we consider the rest of the words with m, so only six A's can be used for those with e.

Eh, I might be entirely wrong, but at least I tried :/

[Litral]

Encounter
Alaska
Mission
Army
Metal
Traitor
Dead
Base
Island
Cell
Liquid
Night
Gear

A: 10
B: 1
C: 2
D: 4
E: 7
G: 2
H: 1
I: 7
K: 1
L: 6
M: 3
N: 5
O: 3
Q: 1
R: 5
S: 5
T: 5
U: 2
Y: 1

I checked it. It is right. Go on,

guess the words that are NOT alaska since I guessed it already!

[Litral]

Encounter
Army
Metal
Traitor
Dead
Base
Island
Cell
Liquid
Night
Gear

Those words are left, go go go.

[Litral]

By which I mean submit those words as soon as possible.

[Litral]

Army
Metal
Dead
Base
Island
Cell
Night
Gear

[Litral]

Shoot.

[Litral]

Well, this task kinda encourages the bystander effect.

Plus it took me an hour and a half to figure it out - and that's when I've suspected that alaska is correct for a while.

[Litral]

... can't be worse than choosing PEG for the second one.

[Litral]

Eh, I think I'll be eliminated. But at least I finally did something.

[Litral]

Woaaah.

[Litral]

I'd like to pair up with WizardCat. Pika pika?

[Litral]

I mean... Wizardcat. *cough*

[Litral]

Llama is right, Crazy is the traitor, everyone choose none of the above!

[Litral]

Oh, I did. Getting rid of fox avatar.

Why not add a penguin to your avatar

[Litral]

Llama, again, my guarantee I'll get stars to the best of my ability.

Wiz, I have enough info on my hands not to select "betrayal". I have sent in "Alliance" as my PM. So it's your call; do you want 6 stars or an exemption?

I

think

I know how to win the car racing thing.

[Litral]

TASK THIRTEEN: DOG CHASE

LOCATION: ONETT

It appears a couple of Skate Punks have lost their Runaway Dogs. Five of them in total. Each of you set out to find one of the dogs...

* Each of the teams will be given a riddle/pattern to solve. If you two solve the pattern you will rescue the Dog and earn 5 stars for the Team.

* The Punks will give you 5 stars to each pair if that team successfully finds a Runaway Dog.

* You will only get one guess between the two of you. Your guess most be posted in bold in the thread and BOTH players must agree on it. You will have 48 hours to complete this task once I send out the patterns. You may change your guess if both player have not locked in yet.

* Each person in each team will be given a seperate part of the pattern. You may NOT discuss your pattern in the thread or your specific team will be disqualified. You may discuss in private though.

* Once the deadline is up, I will no longer accept submissions.

POSSIBLE STARS: 25

Answer is s.

Right, pika?

[Litral]

Sorry, answer is S.

[Litral]

I think I'm going to do Betrayal. I honestly feel like I can't keep going with the current strategy I'm using. Something has popped into my head though, so I'm weighing the options.

Go alliance. If you are one of us, you need more stars to actually win, definitely. Even if you are the traitor, you won't mind giving us a few stars and portraying someone else as the traitor, so you can stay hidden forever and thus win.

[Litral]

King Dedede is definitely alliance, I'm sure. I have a high opinion of him. Don't make me disappointed!

[Litral]

Wiz PM me if you're here, I need to send you my race car task plan.

[Litral]

180/405

[Litral]

Blackberry: Are the people who said the quote in Task Seventeen one of the eight left, or one of the ten before?

[Litral]

Proposal.

If someone refuses to dance on the stage, we give them no chance at all to receive an exemption next round. We betray them before they betray us, we don't send them on solo missions, etc.

Please agree to this proposal.

[Litral]

Wait, farside, your scumday is right after your birthday?

Happy both!

[Litral]

Is a leader still necessary?

[Litral]

Well, our PMs are the same, then.

There seems to be a striking similarity between every two numbers. That is surely no coincidence. I tried crossing out all the same numbers.

23412431-2432147219: if you cross out "2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1" you will get "3-729"

2432147219-08470298471: 3212-08087

08470298471-29380471: 0847-3

29380471-290834: 71-(nothing)

290834-7132908: 4-71

7132908-4723198: 0-4

4723198-047231908: (nothing)-00

047231908-472319: 008-(nothing)

472319-80425: 7319-805

etc.

Doesn't seem like the right path, but at least worth considering. Maybe you're supposed to take the numbers that are the same.

[Litral]

Well, we still have 24 hours left.

Also, 50 stars for the task, Post 7. Betting it isn't only a number.

I think we have to submit multiple things.

[Litral]

Ahh, can anyone think of a code that makes every two numbers very similar?

[Litral]

despair

[Litral]

Blackberry, will we get 40 stars if only 4 of us guess (and none of us is wrong)?

[Litral]

Apparently he didn't realize that I was the traitor.

[Litral]

Indeed. I estimate at least a 25% chance that my guess is correct.

[Litral]

That none of us three spam-posters is the traitor.

DUN DUN DUNN

[Litral]

I think it's the difficulty in re-editing 40 pages of red herrings out that's demotivating BB.

Since last time he disappeared, he was planning to edit 40 pages of red herrings in.

EDIT: Okay, I'm not watching this any more. Someone send me a message if BB comes back.

[Litral]

... Ahhh, the first time the little airship suddenly started sinking, I was like "wtf" and died.

[Litral]

Well, I thought one of them would attack us, and Ghetto seemed like the most probable choice. BB does things like that. Everything fits in a story

I wish only one more of you were alive...

[Litral]

Well, Blackberry has read it.

*gulp*

[Litral]

Yay. I don't have to take the test?

[Litral]

I will elect anyone that the three of you agree with.

I request that you agree as soon as possible. 100 stars here is far more important than anything anyone has done in this game.

[Litral]

And by the way, I sure am glad I didn't take that quiz, because I made a pact with charter to always say that the traitor was <some person>... who apparently it is not.

[Litral]

Has, stop dilly-dallying and vote someone, or make the same promise I did.

[Litral]

Then vote.

[Litral]

Okay, that's it. I don't see how Wizardcat will ever vote me, so the only option is this.

I elect Wizardcat.

Farside, has, please also elect Wizardcat. He may not deserve an exemption, but we don't deserve losing 100 stars either. This is the easiest 100 stars I have ever seen, and we're screwing them over.

[Litral]

Because I really can't care who gets an exemption.

[Litral]

Fine, we'll go without the stars.

I elect Litral

.

[Litral]

Wiz, I know who the traitor is, and I check this thread frequently enough to be the first to answer the quiz. You won't suffer any problems with odds by giving me an exemption.

[Litral]

You must have been too tired from all the traitoring

[Litral]

Ehh... I hope we still have enough stars to win. It's barely above 50%. I think it's lower than 60%...

I figured Jigglypuff would also think that farside's gender was obvious, so the first question was easy... the second one was a lucky guess.

Thanks animopherv1

[Litral]

Yay, I won Thanks, Blackberry, it's been great fun.

There's a question in BB's application that asked us what our general strategy would be. I answered that I would help as much as possible and not try to screw over the town in order to pretend to be a traitor. That I did.

There seems to be a general but somewhat inexplicable pattern that whomever screws with the town dies within a round or two. Maybe because they usually do it far more obviously than any traitor would dare to, so by eliminating themselves as a possible traitor they actually increase the winning chances of everyone else. Or maybe because no one trusts them any more, and having friends is useful in this game because you could share quizzes and do a bit of analysis to easily reduce the number of possible suspects.

I had an alliance with 5 people in it (charter, hascow, sensfan, bird and me); good relations with Wizardcat earlier on (quiz exchange... and this avvie ); and Scitgatt helped me out with some quiz analysis. Most of us survived until the late game. Proof that discussion with trusted people helps.

I'm glad I managed to do that letters puzzle - the one with alaska - although I should've done it a bit earlier. That was the only task in which I really could've added stars to the team. The rest was mostly luck...

Eh, I got some of the questions wrong on purpose in some of the latter rounds because I still had doubts that it really was Bowser. She seemed... townie. I went with Sonic earlier. He was quiet enough to arouse a lot of suspicion.

Again, thanks for the game, BB, it's great, although it's been extended quite a bit.

[Litral]

Sorry for being such a dick, guys. Pikachu gets a little overcompetitive...

Can't believe that one question screwed me over... I only have SSBM and SSBB. Just assumed. :/

I had the two right games... SSB and SSBM... and I still got it wrong >.<

Animorph, what do you want with the avvie?
