WW CLII Gorey Stories - Middle Floor - GAME OVER! START HERE at Post 954 to see how!

[CrimsonFox]

It is Zinto, yes ZInto, you all cry and shout
And you keep saying Zinto! aloud and about

Zinto is mean
Zinto's can't spell
Zinto is not wanted
Zinto's from hell!

We must vote out Zinto! Because he is lame!
And just like your words, the room sets ablaze

You run to the window and below you all stare
At a angry Zinto alone on the front stair.

He's more than angry and points at you all
for his ears are all burning and he's pounding the wall.

Zinto has this horrid feeling. A horrid feeling indeed.
That people are talking about him.

And then his head starts to blaze. Then his chest bursts on fire and burns all his clothes, then his arms, then his legs, then his....tail?

Yes his tail! A great devil he was. And no one liked him. Even though he would dance and put on a show. But when he danced he would dance away with the souls of so many people.

And now as he stands there fuming at you,
he gets so mad that he grabs a passerby from outside and kicks her.
Kicks her hard like a devil would do.



But that is no more for he cries out and wails.
Because nobody likes him.
And vote him to shame.




He shrinks and shrinks into his dark bird form
And he flies up to the rooftop
Still Fiery and dark
And spits on you people below him that look

But he keeps right on shrinking as small as a bug
Until he shrinks down forever as a spec that could be swept under the rug...

And the spec lands on the tracks and is suddenly run over by the 7:15 to London, that reliable train...
Old Beelphazor the Devil, who was also known as Zinto, is gone...

[mauchow]

Early mvp props to saldana. Now lets get the last one or two !

[CrimsonFox]

And just as you're feeling all proud of yourselves
Out the lights go again
Someone should really fix the wiring in this old old old place.

The bay doors blow open once again!
"SOMEONE SHUT THOSE DAMN THINGS! IT'S COLD IN HERE NOW! AND IT'S STARTING TO RAIN!"

In answer the thinder cracks and the lightning smacks!
And you see a dark figure inside of your room.

Well technically all of you are dark figures because you're like in the dark and all.

"Oh, you mr. monster" you say, "You with your big cape and you with your wings and you picking up our friend and biting him again..."

"Oh do not mind me..." your friend says very quaint.
"Why this reminds me of a parable...yes...a parable...
Taken from the good book.....and paul went out and preached to the romans and to the coughkaphesians and sailed cross the globe and bade him spoke they and they all followed him to the desert to see what he was talking about and he told them stop that because they were doing it wrong. You do it like this and then sing a song and you follow the good book and all will be well and then he bade them come and he fed them and ouch that quite hurts and he told them about his mother and father uriah and how uriah had come ouch by blood give that back and from josiah and how josiah had come from zekeriah and how zekeriah had come from Jamiah stop drinking that and how jomiah had come from googalima and how googalima and come from Tryziah and how tryziah listened to mariah and was gave birth by Triptomya and how trytomiah was...

and soon you forgot what you all were doing...your eyes had glazed over and you started to drift all away and nod off to yourself...even the monster in the room starts to nod...

...
And when you awake...you find your friend had stopped preaching and well he is over there...and over there...and over there...he is all over....well bits of them here and bits of him there...

You know how when a mosquito is sucking your blood and he gets cut off in mid drink and it then explodes, the same such thing happened it seems in reverse. Whatever was drinking from him fell asleep with its fangs (for you find the pale neck and for sure it has fangmarks) deep into the throat drinking long from his artery. But it must have fallen asleep and snored out and things clotted and then reversed and suddenly the great blood whirlpool went kablooey...

And so your friend, the Reverend, the longwinded Reverend Bland, the good Reverend Lochlan Wearsome Bland, or Passacaglia the villager to his good friends, had passed and you mourn for his...

"ENOUGH! CLOSE THE DAMN DOORS! IT'S COLD!"

So you close the door.

[CrimsonFox]

The walls spin and push you somewhere else...a bedroom of some sort but you can't see the color as the other wall then spins and sends you to yet another room.

[CrimsonFox]

You are in the Orange Room.

[CrimsonFox]

Autumn, ntndeacon, Jag, and Goldeneagle enter. You try and stop them from closing the way they come in but too late. It slams shut and there's nothing but wall there now.

[JAG]

Weird, none of us took an action in the last room that would explain why our exit was closed as we entered.

Hi guys. Going to take a read back and see what's been going on here.

[JAG]

Ah, so Chief came here at the very end of Day 3. There was a permutation I hadn't thought of. In the other room, we saw some votes for people other than Zinto and wondered what was going on, then realized no one in the room was probably aware saldana had revealed Danny + Zinto as wolves.

[JAG]

I would never advocate not voting for a known wolf. He's going to have to be voted out at some point anyway, no reason letting him hang around and potentially screw up a close vote for example.

[JAG]

Alright, caught up and I think I have all the voting history, though didn't have time to colorify it. My day is going to be tough, but I'll try and carve out some time to dive into things.

INSPECT CHEAP ORANGE FAKE FLOWERS

pull red lever

[mauchow]

Ah so it looks as though we are all in this room so we don't need vote count anymore.

unpull red lever

[Autumn]

I'm here, will read back and catch up later this morning.

[Lathum]

hey all, I'll catch up tonight prior to the deadline, anything really important I should know?

[Autumn]

im dead already.

(welcome back!!!!)

[booradley]

INSPECT ORANGE SHAG CARPETING

[GoldenEagle]

Oh hai

[GoldenEagle]

INSPECT ORANGE AND BROWN INSTRUMENTS

[mauchow]

vote golden eagle

[Autumn]

So what we've been discussing in the top floor is this: Britrock most likely was killed because he made a comment up there about it not being good for the village if he was voted off. There is a small list of people left who could have seen that comment before he died. So I'm quite certain there is at least one wolf among:

Autumn
Golden Eagle
JAG
NTNdeacon
bhlloy

I will be voting from that list. I won't be voting myself, and so far JAG has gone out of his way to be a champion villager, so I won't be voting him. I have a good guess as to who the wolf is among the rest but I'm going to keep that to myself and see how the day goes.

[mauchow]

I would also be okay with ntn or autumn. I'm going based on early votes when it was cr vs danny.

[mauchow]

I came up with my short list without autumns fyi. I'm on phone and didn't refresh my last post.

[bhlloy]

INSPECT ORANGE JUICE

[bhlloy]

That's solid reasoning Autumn, but I'm somewhat troubled by your insistence on eliminating JAG as a possibility. I guess I don't know what has gone on on the top floor since I left but I'd have thought we would look at all options.

ntn's day 3 vote is interesting. Can anyone get (or remembers) the timing on saldana's reveal vs his vote? If the vote was before the reveal that looks good for him, as I don't think a wolf piles on another wolf like that. If the vote is after the reveal, it's meaningless.

[Autumn]

That's a good basis for votes too. I'll say in my defense, I wasn't going to vote Danny blindly from another room. There's a couple players who I just don't vote out day one with no reason. I remember thinking it was strange somebody was putting Danny on the block so quickly.

[Autumn]

I'm still recovering from the flu, and finding it rough changing threads. I can't really recall who or why I voted before JAG came up. Was my vote on Chief? I seem to recall having a reason for that but I can't pull it out of my foggy head.

[Autumn]

Yes, I had voted Chief, and GE and NTN had followed my lead. I remember that, as the three of us were in the top floor alone.

Oh, I remember. C hief was actually on this same list of people who could have seen Britrock's comment. I was still going by that list, and had picked Chief out of that, possibly because of his vote on Danny the day before.

[bhlloy]

I'll try not to overthink this then. Autumn seems to think JAG is good, and CR seemed to think that as well (although if I was a wolf in a room with two other wolves who were outed I'd probably go as far out of my way to be a good villager and spread the news as possible, but that's overthinking it)

I'd still like to nail down the exact timing of ntn's day 3 vote vs Sal's reveal, but seems as good as any

vote ntndeacon

[Autumn]

NTN was with us upstairs, bhlloy. He voted Danny after JAG came up and passed the info on to us.

[ntndeacon]

Inspect bird cover

[ntndeacon]

I voted for Danny after Jag told us of Saldana's reveal

[Lathum]

ok, question. Is there any benefit/ downside to 2 people inspecting the same thing?

[ntndeacon]

Using Autumn's list as a guide, I certainly have a preference of who I prefer to vote for and who not to vote for. JAg seems the least lupine of the bunch. And isee better candidates than Autumn.

I realize that y'all don't share my surity into my own villagerhood, but clearly I cannot vote for myself. Which leaves bhlloy and Golden Eagle.

[ntndeacon]

they either split the treasure or one gets it and the other gets bupkis Lathum

[ntndeacon]

Vote Golden Eagle

[Lathum]

Inspect weird orange puppet

[ntndeacon]

Going back in this thread and rereading it changed my mind a little. To me both GE and bhlloy are interesting candidates.

[GoldenEagle]

That is funny, because at this point, I am pretty sure that ntn or bhlloy are wolves. If not both of them.

There is really no evidence against me as a wolf.

[ntndeacon]

GE I don't think that both of you are wolves. And I am certainly willing to change my vote to bhlloy with a little convincing.

[ntndeacon]

And there is at least a bit of evidence for all of us on Autumn's list. That one of the bunch is a wolf. The idea there is only one in that bunch that is a wolf is nothing more than me playing from my gut. I think voting you gives me a 50/50 shot at a wolf. I could say similar about bhlloy.

[Lathum]

Just going off JAGs voting records DaddyTorgo looks pretty bad...

[ntndeacon]

There is actually some discussion of that in this thread, Lathum.

yeah, kind of jumping around trying to get a feel for what has been happening. Gonna try and catch up when I get home from work, just wanted to see what is up in case I get caught up or something.

[Chief Rum]

8:00
GoldenEagle - mauchow (522)

[Chief Rum]

I posted the above vote count at CF's request, as he is currently unavailable. I am still a ghost. Don't vote for me.

I am pretty sure everyone upstairs had voted for Chief Rum before I went up there, then changed after I posted with saldana's info. By the time I got up there, there's no question the wolves were already aware of saldana's scans because Zinto was in the room with him, Rum, and I and it was a few hours before CF logged on and I got moved.

[bhlloy]

I can't help thinking we are going to look back and wonder how we gave Autumn and JAG such an easy ride to the end of the game. I can see the case for JAG because he spread the word of Saldana to the heathens, but other than Autumn being Autumn what's the case for him getting a pass?
