The other strategy we could follow if we random-lynch would be to go for players who tend to talk to themselves in down time, such as Omtose and Barghast. Like this, if we're wrong and they're innos, then we decrease the chances they'll come back as possessed.

Time zone discrimination FTW!

[Omtose]

meh
I'm pulling another all-nighter, most likely
so i'm gonna be on for nearly 24 h
good luck making a prediction

OK maybe I can shed a little light on the beyond and how it affects you

Going by the book, you have the physical world that we all live in, then when you die, your soul is supposed to go through the beyond and then reach paradise. Now what happens in the beyond is that it just borders the physical world and as such those souls that are particularly clingy or are mentally damaged in some way, never move on, they just stay put and stare longingly back into the physical world. Also the beyond is a cold, isolated, desolate place and whenever a new soul pitches up and is unable to move on the others all gang up on it and rape it of its most cherished memories and then they all just stare longingly back into the physical universe.

The scene Dibs put up was just before the alien presence (the light the priest saw), decided to follow a soul to see where it went, this happens during one of Quinn's rituals and allows the first possessed to come through.

Now as I see it, when you get to the beyond, unless you are special, like maybe Ione and Joshua who are likely to just skip the beyond, it then becomes a popularity contest to see who gets back in. I also reckon that Quinn and co. will be the ones that allow the possessed to come through.

P.s. when I say the beyond is cold, isolated,... I mean that in the sense that there is no sensation, you have consciousness and a craving for warmth (Emotional energy) and thats it.

thanks for the spoilers
try and keep it to what we know in book 1...thank you

As for being immune, I fear the idea of a possessed Quinn. I mean he is scary in the book as a mortal, then gets a possessed's power and almost drags earth into another dimension......

wow...thanks again

maybe you could dictate the entire trilogy to us perhaps?
Would save me the cost of actually buying the 3rd book

[Meanas]

Sorry D'riss.
I will shut up now.

[Omtose]

maybe if you stop bringing it up, D'riss, those of us still reading will gloss over the spoilered parts and try to forget most of them
DiBs said that the game will only deal with part 1 of the trilogy anyhow.

Grrr....

I had a whole big post typed out with responses to things that had been said in thread while I was gone. It was good, made some intelligent points and I even managed to keep it all polite and non-combative like. Then my fucking computer did a flip out on me and guess what, that post is gone. FUCKING GONE! And you know what? I can't be bothered to quote things again and write the nice replies again and whatever. So you can all play day one however you like, but don't complain when you get to the end of the day and have had a whole one bandwagon of note based on ducks and a noob error and still know nothing about the game mechanics.

I'm out for 15-20 hours. Hopefully I'll have calmed down a bit by then.

ooooo...someone made papa smurf angry

[Thyrllan]

Tell me about it. God, I wasn't going to sign up for this game because I feared spoilers. Even with dibs being adamant that it was book 1 only, you can't stop some people from going too far. Anyway, I don't think the spoilers Meanas quoted were that big, so no worries. Just lynch him later

Liking the drunkenness It's about time we had a major drunken rant. Although having said that, it seemed to have stopped with this passage, when I was kind of hoping for a major breakdown. Ah well.

If you ask me, this whole Gamelon thing is a bit weak, which is why I haven't joined the bandwagon, and won't be dropping a vote before I go out today. Yeah he's making spurious claims, but I think that's noobiness coming to the fore rather than anything else. Now I'm not saying we should be afraid of lynching noobs, cos we all know where that didn't get us the game before last, but seems to me we should chill a bit.

He might be scum, but he's not pinging my radar as scum right now. I'll be back about 6 tonight, a good three hours ish until day ends, so I can use my vote then if it is necessary. Byeeeeee.

ETA: that was a cross post, meant for D'riss. What are you all doing on at this time, anyway? I'm around for the next ten if you want to chat.

Exactly my point, just pointing out to meanas that this is meant to be book 1
We specifically asked for that.

[Thyrllan]

So, what's getting Telas's back up so badly, anyway? Computer problems seem a little lame of an excuse for going HULK on our asses.

[D'riss]

The whole Gamelon thing is rather suspect.
Even if it is a noob mistake, it should not just get written off as such.

The rashan / Gay lord "connection" is rather interesting as well.

Telas is another one that worries me. Maybe its just because he is coming across as a right asshole.
But his holier than thou attitude could be a cover for scumminess. Being over critical and looking for any old lynch perhaps?

Anyways, i would lynch any of these guys at this point.

DiBs asked us not to lynch people before they get to post though...

Boring mod is boring.

Right I'm really off to work.

Gamelon, yeah, he hasn't been helpful. This might cause us trouble later in the game.

Telas is getting all ranty, but I get the feeling that if he were scum then he would have actually done more in the game than get pissed off at people over nothing.

Rashan/Gaylord... what exactly is the link again? I must have missed it.

Ok, off to work.

[Omtose]

at this point, everyone has at least one post though, so they're fair game.
not that i'm advocating a quick lynch.
want to hear more from everyone.

[D'riss]

There was some slight symping going on by Gay lord.
Rashan decided to call him out on it...seems that there is a chance that either GayL was fake symping rashan.
Or he really is rashans symp, and rashan didnt like how obvious GayL was being so tried to nip it in the but before we got all suspicious like.
Or even Rashan just got nervous about someone defending/symping him, which in itself is suspect if you ask me.

[Ruse]

Morning people, just caught up.

My thoughts so far - Weird statement by Gamelon, but not something I think is lynchworthy at this point.

Also, what the hell is up with Telas? First he comes on and commands us to stop talking about roles and the possessed. Then in his last post he says not to blame him if we dont know anything about the game mechanics at the end of the day. He got awfully upset about Gam being L-9 with 20? hours still left in the day. Cant say it makes him scum, since getting peoples backs up like that isnt the best way to go unnoticed.

[Galain]

I'm still curious as to what kind of "awesome" post he could have concocted with quotes and sharp insights, that he feels so angry about having lost.

Try as I might, it's too early for me to come up with these kind of posts, so I'm not in danger of having them ruined by computer breakdowns.

[Serc]

What possible amazing insights could he have had on the first day?! Sounds suspicious

he prolly just has a god complex or something

[Galain]

I'm going to

remove vote

I don't want Gamelon to become the sole focus of today, participation is moderate, which is normal since normal games' day 1 are usually the hardest to play, but I don't want a long silence followed by a last hour pile-up on him just because he has most votes.
