Game 238 | Round 1 ~ The Crystal Ball

[BleedingRayne]

"Alright everyone, gather round the table." Rayne says as she takes her place at the head of the table. Noire takes the place opposite Rayne. Relm and ktoasty take one side while ponchi Fext and Riley Rain take the other. A seat next to Relm is left open for visitors. The crystal ball is placed in a stand at the center of the table along with a Ouija board and a blank notebook with a  pen. The group joins hands and Rayne began to speak, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to honor the fortunate dead. As is our custom we will first consult the crystal ball. Who would like to ask the first question? Just as they were about to look around to figure out who would ask first the lights suddenly go out. "We are hungry and one of you shall feed us. Tonight the rest of you shall join our ranks." The candles relight themselves. "Well, I suppose we now have different questions we want to ask. Who shall go first?" It seems this was going to be an interesting night.

"If they could talk why would we need an Ouija board? Something doesn't add up here."

I take a moment to think of a question, not wanting to start the finger-pointing just yet.

"The seat next to Relm, who was it left open for?"

[Relm]

How haunted is rayne’s house? You can only fit but so many ghosts.

I assumed it was left open in case panda tries to join us a bit late like last time. That or I’m supposed to be sitting next to beelzebub.

[Fext]

...why tonight and not already?

It seems plausible one of us could have already been fed. Advantageous, even. So why would that not be the case?

"Spirits have preferences and will choose the object they are most comfortable with."

"The dead. Isn't it obvious? Seems kinda rude to invite them to speak with us and not offer them chair."

[Fext]

Fair enough, on both counts.

[Fext]

...can Noire vote?

[Relm]

I’m curious what Noire believes we should vote.

Ponchi chuckles. She prepared for this moment (by reading a wikiHow article). "Actually, seyances are discouraged in haunted places!" She smiles, and continues on all her infinite wisdom that is definitely not wrong, "We'll invite visitors to join us here, so it's not required."

[ktoasty]

"I do wonder if we can use the spirits' messages to our advantage and find their feeder from our group that way."

"The way they spoke in a green sort of way makes me suspect Relm. If you look at them, in a picture sort of way (profile picture), you can see the green tones all over. Not to mention how Relm has been sitting right next to the empty seat."

[Fext]

seems sensible to me

with noire unable to vote I think we mathematically want to make an attempt every day - there are 5 voters, and considering we need to have two voters to win, I think we should bank on somebody being fed every time and play it safe and use every chance

after all

5
4 after vote
3 after feeding
2 after vote, non-npc wolf wins
1 after feeding
vote noire if the game isn't over yet and because she can't vote that's game

whereas if we don't vote today

5
4 after feeding
3 after vote
2 after feeding, non-npc wolf wins
1 after vote
0 after feeding, wolf noire wins

as you can see it's mathematically a losing move not to vote today

[Fext]

ie not voting today cuts our odds of voting the wolf out by giving us one chance instead of two if it's a player and two chances instead of three if it's noire

[Relm]

(I’ll be doing rotc stuff irl this weekend til Sunday, so this is my last post til I get back!)

“Though my profile picture may be green, it’s far from my favorite color. At this point I can only go off of gut. + Riley

[Fext]

In the interest of ensuring we don't tie, I'll follow that for now.

Could be convinced to go back to green if anybody else shows and agrees it's the move. Don't want to risk a phase transition with a 3-way tie.

[Fext]

See somebody else swapped from novote->Relm and am following that

[ktoasty]

That was me. I had my vote on the blank option earlier

[Fext]

Nice to have you along!
