Happy Wanderer

Like the other passengers, curiouskarmadog, Gorrad, and OhGodMyLife quickly head away from the burning bus. They never see a light to walk toward, however. They are among the first to regain their bearings, and all make it out of the smoke before the light shines toward them.

Eventually, they find a large house, and enter through the first open door they see, figuring whoever owns the place will be understanding. It is soon apparently that they have entered a basement.

They walk up the stairs, but the door is locked. Banging on it does no good.

"Let's walk back out and see if there's another way in. The smoke isn't so bad around this place."

They go back to the basement door, but it is no longer open. In fact, it is jammed shut. No amount of pounding will let them out.

There is a moment of panic, but there is nowhere to go, so they decide to wait until help arrives or they think of a rational course of action. As they sit to think and talk, they hear voices above them. It is the other passengers, and a new voice - apparently, the owner of this place. They shout out, but there is no pause in the conversation above. Strange: they can hear the discussion above them clearly.

Well. At least there is something to talk about.

---

You are in the basement. You can hear everything that goes on above you (in the main thread), but they can't hear you.

You can discuss amongst yourselves while you look for a way out. Optionally, you may choose to lynch one of your number by a majority vote at any time before you rejoin the main group.

All rules from the main game thread apply as normal.

It is Day 1. With 3 present, it is 2 to lynch.

[Mr. Grey]

You are also reminded of the post content and participation rules for this game. Take a moment to read over them one more time. If you have any questions about the Basement, send Mr. Grey a PM.

[Gorrad]

Ha! It seems like Vollkan's finally getting the chewing out that saying his system deserves. Hopefully he'll quit with the 'here's how scum should act so I don't suspect them' bit after he dies for it. There's also another group of three, probably under similar circumstances as us.

Right now, we've been forced into an end-game situation with no background information. Luckily, only one of us is scum.

Vote: OhGodMyLife

[OhGodMyLife]

This is interesting to say the least.

Gorrad, as you say, its an end-game situation with no information. How do you feel comfortable voting for somebody already?

Especially given the fact that nobody else can or maybe ever will be able to see this thread, if CKD is scum and simply hammered me, it would just be your word against his on what happened when you rejoin the main group.

[Gorrad]

I'll wait for CKD's response before responding myself.

[OhGodMyLife]

And give him a chance to hammer if he wants to?

[Mr. Grey]

To clarify a couple things:

There is no "Day" or "Night" in the basement. You can discuss in the basement until you rejoin the main group - when, how, and if that will happen is not information you currently have. While you are here, you can discuss, and optionally lynch one of your number. You may not vote for or otherwise target anyone outside the basement.

If you choose to lynch here, the alignment of your victim will be revealed to you, and if/when you rejoin the main party it will be revealed to them as well.

[Gorrad]

So far so good.

[curiouskarmadog]

interesting, Gorrad just comes on and places a vote?..how is that a good idea at all?

FoS Gorrad

please explain how that vote is a good vote at this point in the game? How does it give us any information?

well I am not interesting in hammering atm.

also I note that there are 3 more missing players (Nib twins, IH, and sarc). I assume they are in some other part of the house like we are....With IH and Sarc together, you can bet your ass Nib twin will probably die..

also, Gorrad, how do you know that one of us is scum?

[Gorrad]

I don't know one of us is scum. There's one way to be sure. Unvote, Vote: Curiouskarmadog. OGML, now's YOUR chance to hammer.

Gorrad, you have some sort of knowledge that you are not sharing? Did you just slip up already? Sounds like you have knowledge that there IS one scum amoung both "missing" groups.....again, you avoided my question, how is voting someone helping at this point?

[OhGodMyLife]

Gorrad, I do not like your play here AT ALL.

If you're town, this seems like a very stupid move to try and out one of us as scum this way. If you are successful in doing so, you will kill a townie in the process and all you'll have accomplished is going back to the main group with your word against his.

also, Gorrad, how do you know that one of us is scum?

I'd like this question answered too. I don't think its outside the realm of possibility that none of us are scum.

[Gorrad]

You're wrong, OGML. Here's the thing, there are three of us, yes? Given that, we can assume that we have either town-town-scum or town-town-town. If we had any more, then the town would be killed by now.

Now, let's say we lynch. We then have town-town or town-scum. If it's the latter, the town is killed.

So if we lynch, when/if we're put back into the group as a whole, there will either be two townies or one scum. It doesn't take a genius to figure that if there's one person alive and two town dead, the third must be scum. Also, if there's one scum dead and two alive, the other two are confirmed town.

Either way, we can't lose. So, since I aparently DIDN'T unvote, OGML, would you care to hammer? Alternatively, we can massclaim if y'all'd like and kill based off that.

[OhGodMyLife]

Nowhere has the mod said that if we lynch town and are left scum-town that the scum would auto kill the other town, for starters.

I am also beginning to think you have some kind of outside information.

At this juncture I am totally unwilling to lynch CKD, but I am considering a vote for Gorrad.

[Gorrad]

I have no information that you don't other than common sense. When it's 1 vote to lynch and there's town and scum, scum win. How do they win? By killing the remaining town. Go ahead and kill me. The one person left when the doors open will be scum, and there's enough smart people in the town to realise that. It really doesn't matter a lick who we kill, as long as exactly one person is lynched.

[curiouskarmadog]

Where does it say we have to kill anybody?

OMGL, I agree, I too am considering voting for Gorrad

[Gorrad]

We don't have to kill anyone, but given the situation as I've explained above, scum is either outted or killed if we do so.

[OhGodMyLife]

Well then do you support your own lynch gorrad? Because you seem awful eager to have it be either of the other players present.

[Gorrad]

Meh, I'm a roleblocker. Not the best role, but I'm willing to be sacrificed if y'all insist.

[curiouskarmadog]

I doubt that you are a RB, there was no reason to claim so early..there is no reason to think that both groups of 3 have one scum in them, there is no reason for you to think that it is protwon for you to claim or lynch anyone..

unless you are scum

vote gorrad.

[curiouskarmadog]

also, gorrad, why is it a good idea to "sacrafice" yourself if you are a protown power role?

no reason.

[Gorrad]

Have I not fully explained this above? Unvote, Vote: Curiouskarmadog. I'm First baseman Kieth Hernandez. I can seduce once per night (RB). Breadcrumbed in my first post upstairs (First post...nothing to Base...). I'm claiming because I'm at L-1.

Votes/Unvotes not appearing at the bottom of the post are not counted. Tags removed. - Mod

[Gorrad]

Right, not counted unless they're at the end.

Unvote, Vote: Curiouskarmadog
