Greetings, all! For a change of pace, I'm happy to announce a new game called Rabbit Doubt (idea courtesy of Tyranomaster3). This is a game which requires careful strategy (and a bit of luck) to secure victory for your team. The gameplay will be accompanied by narrative portions to increase the immersion of the experience. All of the details can be found at the link below:

If you are interested in playing, please post in this thread. I'll leave sign-ups open for 48-ish hours to see how many players we get. Of course, it's always more fun with more people. Then the game will begin! :D

If at any time you have questions regarding gameplay, please PM me and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

As requested, spots have been reserved in advance for miss snopes, Sleuth Sindy, and Sal Iva.

Looking around I notice Sleuth Sindy doing bicep curls with what appears to be a couple of heavy rocks. Across the way at the large tree, I spy Yeti making a nose from the piece of rope we discovered earlier. A glimpse of movement catches my attention. LaSorella is trying to conceal herself behind some bushes as she observes what is happening. I realize I have yet to see Miss snopes, Sal, and Windowm today. Are they hiding from is? Actually I'm very concerned about Windowm, he started out with us on this expedition, but I have not seen him since we have been trapped.

How I wish I new more, being an explorer with no powers stinks!!!

I'm going to spend a minute breaking down the logic here, as I'd hate for us to accidentally not hang anyone (what a tragedy).

I stated Sindy was visiting Zara last night. Sindy says she was not. Therefore one of us is lying, and almost certainly one of us is the traitor (with that in mind you all trust each other now, as there's only one traitor). So either:

a) I'm the traitor and Sindy is being put upon by my traitorous lying ways. Let's say that I succeed in having Sindy hanged; where do I go from there? I get to stab one more person in the night then face the noose myself in the morning. It's not a winning strategy, it is a doomed strategy.

b) Sindy is the traitor and I'm genuinely a tracker. I saw her going to visit Zara and in the morning Zara was dead.

The simplest explanation is clearly scenario (b). So vote to hang Sindy, and resolve to hang me tomorrow if Sindy is innocent. Ultimately the explorers win.

Remember everyone that you do need to vote at some point, even if it's just to say you're not voting. Else you might die in your sleep of natural announcer causes.

Oh I have a question. I figure others may have the same one, so I'm posting it here.

The rules state
"All players must vote. Any players who miss voting twice (total) will be considered dead at the start of the next day phase. Votes may be changed until 60 minutes before the day phase ends. "
Does that mean our votes also must be cast 60 minutes before the end of the day phase? I'm assuming that is the case. Also when do we learn if someone has been hung? At the beginning of night phase? Or do we have to wait until morning to find out?

Yes, votes must be cast at least 60 minutes before the end of the day phase. So that would be 19:00 server time. EVERYONE MUST CAST A VOTE. If you're unsure, write "NO VOTE".

You learn when someone has been hanged at the very start of the night phase, much like the death reveal this morning. Those ^ 60 minutes are for me to tally votes and write up the hanging scene, if applicable.

Remember all; vote Sindy!

Um, not the simplest solution, Yeti.

What I see is a TRAITOR who knew that he would be suspected as soon as it was made known that he had survived the night. Therefore, said TRAITOR jumps the gun to be the first one to post and immediately accuse someone to deflect attention from himself. *If* I was a traitor, I most certainly would have offed you first thing. Sorry to be so brutally blunt, but there it is. You know I love you and all, Yeti, but a game is a game.

Aug-19-2017 15:13

And the idea that you would have no strategy up your sleeve for tomorrow, whatever the situation, is a little unbelievable to me.

Aug-19-2017 16:08

I bet you wanted to kill me on the first night, Sindy. I bet you weighed it up and ultimately decided if there were any doctors then the odds were they would be protecting me on the first night. So you killed poor innocent Zara instead, almost certain no one would be looking out for her. If you couldn't get me lynched during the day, then you could safely eliminate me on the second night.

There's what, two and half hours until voting closes?

Right now just one vote can swing this towards either Sindy or I getting hanged. What a power trip!
