The tortoise is confusing but I guess it is meant to represent a turtle... Ah Cass got in before me. Capt. Jack Sparrow

We'll go characters as well, if anyone is still awake.

Movies, please.

Lol, what? Overthink? What is this thing you speak of? I must devote the grey matter to ponder this concept more.

That is very unfortunate. I was thinking Beach Boys but cannot think of a title that would fit. Surfin' USA does not seem to tick all the boxes. Is the bikini a different item or just a continuation of the theme? It's not even an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, which would have made it easier, to be fair. Under the broadwalk? Really have no idea.

I'd say that looks like NYC, but you would be the expert, Turin.

Always thinking of your meme game, Zander has taught you well 🙂

Aw shucks, thank you 🥰 Though building a plausible narrative, isn't the same as being right, or of being able to convince anyone. Indeed, in some ways I think the feeling of responsibility if you do convince or sway people is pretty heavy. This is going to be odd though, trying to guess the odd one out, but not who the wolf is, but who the townie is. At least there is no pressure on trying to get it right. I suppose at least if we get it wrong then it is all over mercifully quickly.

Fair enough.

I love your optimism 😄 I feel like I am getting a better understanding of my ignorance rather than the game.

I'm getting the feeling this isn't a very typical game to help us new players learn. But it could be a kind of crash course in the themes involved? Betrayal, sabotage, in-fighting, nervous breakdowns, that kind of thing?

True, I realised only after posting that I was only talking to those left alive. It was just a thought - perhaps I'm odd but I find turning a problem over in my mind relaxing. I'm all out of jokes so I thought a bit of rumination might help others relax. I'll try though. Knock knock. Who's there? Interuppting cow. Inter... MOOOO!

Aside from my personal antithapy, I can see that it would be a problem in areas where there are racial tensions, particularly in the US, especially in face to face games. Allowing anyone to weaponise the term either because they are racist or have a strange idea of humour, I think would be terrible. In this kind of international and impersonal setting, I think it is fine. Not to say if someone says they find it uncomfortable that a mod should not enforce it, but I don't think it should be banned. The way people mix and match as much different terminology as possible, it would be difficult to stop, even for me. It is interesting that Turin characterises it as mob justice, I think ever since my namesake Judge Lynch started lynching people for sectarian reasons, not racial if I'm not mistaken, it has been a byword for mob injustice. Though I guess that is what Turin means.

I was looking up some of the acronyms used here and came across a list of unused ones due to being L-word based. A little digging could not find much about it on that site but did fins an old reddit discussion about whether the lynch is really appropriate in such a game given it's connotations of racial violence. Obviously I would be quite happy not to see the word lynch everywhere, but what do you guys think?

I shall uphold the honour of the Reds by visiting terrible vengeance against the Blue Horde and the hideous Battleship massacre. But I'm going to bed now, to dream of howling wolves.

I know, I meant in the two following nights, presuming the game lasts that long.

Awful lonely in this big spaceship with so few people and so many wolves.

The wolves would already have taken care of Shad. Verb hits another Townie and it is 2 dead, not 1.

The wolves will presumably NK Verbal and Zander - I cannot see why they wouldn't. So that leaves three of six people still being villagers. This has been a strange game, I wonder if it will get stranger.

And just when I was having such a positive day, sawing bits of wood in half for points on my man card and cat-proofing my papyrus. Though admittedly Vincent was watching me the whole time with a distinct look of "challenge accepted, hooman". Fleabag will no doubt think up something to get at my plants. Just hope the villagers on Dice feel bad, lol, and I kind of include Dice in that.

Well, that sucks.

I hate the EoD, always have a bad feeling about it.

Don't know who to blame.

Spiderman mostly, a bit of back and forth with Lenlo...dunno other than that.

It would be pretty cool, though I imagine it would be some kind of nightmare with maintenance. But #lifegoals, though in this country I doubt there is any where you could drive one legal or not. Not a lot of free space in the Netherlands.
