    Oh, and we have 332 replies to the thread now. TWG I had 180, TWG II had 154. We also have almost as many pageviews as the two combined. Do we RULE or what?

    <b><span style='font-size:19pt;line-height:100%'>IT IS NOW NIGHT SIX, NO POSTING!!!</b></span>

    -------------------------

    "So, let me get this straight." <b>Condizzle</b> said, walking 3 paces behind <b>Gwahir</b>. "You traveled through the forest, from the other side of the island, and you knew right where we'd be?"

    "Well... not <i>right</i> where you'd be, but I knew which direction to head in." <b>Gwahir</b> replied, rummaging through his sack. "After we mounted the ridge we had a clear view of you camp."

    "That, and we knew you were out here." <b>lolfighter</b> added, running along <b>Gwahir's</b> heels.

    "Well, it's good to know we aren't the only ones out there." <b>Isamil</b> said with a smile, walking towards the group. "So tell me, how long were you gents out there before you found your way here?"

    "Oh, just a few days." <b>Gwahir</b> replied, grinning. "We were doing fine on our own, but we thought it might be a good idea if we found you guys. Afterall, if we pool our resources we're bound to get out of this mess alive, right?"

    "I suppose, yeah." <b>Condizzle</b> replied nervously. "But, how did you know we were even <i>out here</i>? I mean, the chances of finding us without knowing our exact locations are pretty remote. They gotta be atleast 400:1"

    "400:1? That's pretty steep." <b>lolfighter</b> noted, sitting down to rest. "I would have placed our odds at 20:1, maybe. But 400:1? That's outlandish"

    "I wouldn't argue with me on betting odds, buddy. When it comes to gambling, I know a thing or two." <b>Condizzle</b> remarked smugly. "Would you like to explain in detail why your odds are 400:1?"

    "I don't think there's any need for that." <b>Isamil</b> replied reassuringly. "Besides, all that matters is that they've made it, and we have a few extra hands around the camp."

    "Hmmm. Speaking of extra hands, has anyone seen <b>Mouse</b> and <b>Hellfire3k</b>?" <b>Condizzle</b> inquired. "I haven't seen them since our new guests arrived."

    "Well, <b>Hellfire3k</b> went into the woods to chop some wood. And <b>Mouse</b>... <b>Mouse</b>, he uhhh... Hmmmph. I have no idea were <b>Mouse</b> is, come to think of it." <b>Isamil</b> responded. "Maybe we should go check on them, just incase."

    "We'll come with you." <b>Gwahir</b> interjected. "Might as well make ourselves useful, right?"

    "<i>'We'</i>? What do you mean <i>'we'</i>? How about <i>'you'</i> go help them search. <i>I</i> will stay here and try to stay off <i>my</i> busted ankle." <b>lolfighter</b> retorted, nursing his wounded ankle.

    "Alright. Just try not to <i>break</i> a sweat while we're gone." <b>Gwahir</b> said with a note of disdain. "<i>We</i> will return shortly, hopefully."

    But they wouldn't find <span style='color:red'>Hellfire3k</span>, just a dried puddle of his blood, and drag marks that led into the forest. They would follow those drag marks until it led them to the edge of a cliff, were they would turn back. Upon their return they would find <b>lolfighter</b> gone and <b>Mouse</b> still missing, and a strange man standing in the middle of the camp.

    <b><span style='font-size:19pt;line-height:100%'>IT IS NOW DAY SIX, POST AWAY!!!</b></span>

    -------------------------

    <b>Sky</b> stood in the middle of the clearing, facing the party of oncomers. "Was wondering when you'd show up. This you camp?" he asked, smiling.

    "Yeah, this is our camp. Who're you?" <b>Condizzle</b> returned, stopping just a few feet short of the treeline. "And where's <b>lolfighter</b>?"

    "Guys. <i>Guys</i>." <b>Gwahir</b> said under his breath. "I have a <i>really</i> bad feeling about this. <i>Really</i> bad, <i>really</i>."

    "Oh, really?" <b>Isamil</b> replied under his breath. "What strikes you about him? Hmmm? The flak jacket, perhaps? Or maybe the gun he's got over his shoulder, or maybe it's-"

    "Name's <b>Sky</b>, please to meet you. Been trekking through the forest for hours to find your camp." <b>Sky</b> responded, still smiling. "It's alright, you can come closer. I don't bite."

    "The thought of your jaws clamping down on an area of my body isn't what worries me." <b>Isamil</b> said with a note of fear. "It's that assault rifle you've got slung over your should that's got me pausing."

    "What? This?" <b>Sky</b> responded, unslinging the rifle. "Don't worry, it's on Safe. And it's not like I'm g-"

    But before he could finish the rifle misfired a single shot into the group, scattering them.

    "Hey! Wait! It was an accident! An <i>accident</i>! I swear!" <b>Sky</b> shouted as the group disembarked into the woods. "Come back! I'll throw the rifle away! I promise! Please come back!"

    <b>Gwahir</b> ran at the front of the pack. "Hhh. Hhh. Hhh. Maybe. Hhh. Hhh. We should. Hhh. Hhh. Go back." he said, dodging branches and undergrowth. "Get <b>lolfighter</b>. Hhh. Hhh. He's injured. Can't run. Hhh. Hhh."

    "Probably already dead. Gotta keep moving. Get out of forest." <b>Condizzle</b> responded. "If he's alive. On his own."

    -----

    <b>lolfighter</b> and <b>Mouse</b> trekked through the forest, unaware of the creature stalking them.

    "Are you sure they went this way?" <b>lolfighter</b> asked, limping slightly. "My foot is <i>killing</i> me over here."

    "We should be close to the sea-cliffs by now. Probably be able to hear the tide any min-"

    But <b>Mouse</b> never finished his sentence. Behind him, a creature descended upon <span style='color:red'>lolfighter</span>, crushing his internal organs with its weight. <b>Mouse</b> could only watch in horror as it proceeded to tear his corpse apart, flinging chunks every which way.

    In the forest, <b>Mouse</b> screamed.

    I <b>knew</b> I shouldn't have picked a lawyer. The lawyer always dies in the end, or the audience is not satisfied.

    GG wolves. <b>Sky</b> is the last remaining wolf. For being the last alive, you get a free gorge::gorge::!

    [b]Sky[b/]

    You've got a slight problem Sky. Every single person alive, except you, has been seered by Condizzle and proven human. Confirmed by me, the psychic.

  • CondizzleCondizzle Join Date: 2004-10-05 Member: 32107Members
    I was going to wait for postgame to gloat... but Isamil already said it...

    I R TEH SEER! No one ever suspects the gorge trainer. They think 'omg cute gorgie! yay!', so they forget to think about me. HA! and HA again!
  • SkySky Join Date: 2004-04-23 Member: 28131Members
    Well that's a laugh Condizzle. You spend the entire game contributing precisely nill, and now we're supposed to believe you have a genuine source of information? Thank you for your accusation, though; now I know who the two wolves left are. That's right, two. It's been a beautiful arrangement, I must say. Perfectly orchestrated, even. One active wolf, one wolf feeding misinformation, and one wolf to wait on the sidelines to come in for the kill relatively clean.

    The active wolf was already killed off, obviously; who it was doesn't really matter, I simply know that we have killed one wolf because a) the game is not over, and b) the game definitely slowed down somewhat somewhere in the middle, when the active wolf was removed. The game may have taken a day or so to calm down back to pre-wolf-aggravated levels though, so the exact identity of that particular wolf will remain unknown until the post game. However, that is said and done; there is the present situation to talk about.

    The wolf feeding misinformation, which judging from the conflicting pms I have received is most likely still in the game, is again difficult to pin down exactly. He definitely lies somewhere along the psychic's chain of information. He could be Mouse, who could be lying to us all; the same goes for Isamil. He could be someone behind the scenes feeding those two information. Or, and this is the reason why I can't say for sure who is the wolf in this situation, he could be someone who accosted a normal human early on, convinced him he was the psychic, and then fed information through him just to keep the active voice on the forum at least 2 levels away from him. No matter, today's vote will show who that wolf is.

    Which leaves the behind the scenes wolf, the safety valve that supposedly would let the wolves survive past the critical final two or three days. I'm quite certain most of you have read the other TWGs; look back at the first twg, at the final few days of discussion. Notice how easily it is to put the pieces together at the end; someone simply has to show themselves as a wolf in order to finish the game successfully. Unfortunately for the wolves, I already have first-hand experience in routing them successfully from this game at the end, and I damn well intend to do it again.

    The problem with the strategy of leaving one wolf clean until the end of the game, and then quickly pouncing on the final humans before being discovered, is that I expected it. I've actually had conversations with some of the people still in this game about the strangeness of Condizzle's behavior; how he was so active in the channel (as soon as he gave up blockland....) yet he almost NEVER talked about the game itself. He set himself up as a harmless, mostly active but strategically unimportant individual, perfect to be used to deliver the killing blow to the humans at the end of the game.

    Well, the wolves have tipped their hand now. Tonight <b>Condizzle</b> will go, and the remaining wolf (if there is one; I'm fairly sure there is but I could be pleasantly surprised that the game ends in victory tonight) will either have to reveal his hand today, OR the remaining humans will have to pool their experiences to reveal him tomorrow. Of course, since I have stated this the wolf could either conceal himself and hope for 1:4 odds tomorrow, or he could do exactly what I said he <i>shouldn't</i>, to conceal himself in plain site like he has likely done for the entirety of this game. In any case, the humans are now on a path to victory, possibly for the first time in this game. Damn it feels good to finally figure this out, I've been antsy about the end game for at least 4 days now.

    I highly suggest both Gwahir and Mouse read this before posting:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><Isamil> What time is it in AUS
    <Skyhigh> who's an aussie here?
    <Isamil> Mouse
    <Skyhigh> ah
    <Isamil> Need his vote to finish the game
    <Skyhigh> mayhaps he'll listen to reason, because this is incredibly silly
    <Skyhigh> i reveal the entire ploy, and you just ignore it
    <Isamil> Your post does sound rather desperate
    <Skyhigh> What happened in the first game i ask you, what?
    <Skyhigh> i did exactly the same thing
    <Isamil> As you should be as you'll die whenever mouse shows up...
    <Skyhigh> check for yourself
    <Isamil> True, you were the psychic then
    <Skyhigh> yes, this game was much harder
    <Isamil> What stops you from knowing that people trust that and doing it as a wolf?
    <Skyhigh> eh?
    <Skyhigh> care to rephrase that?
    <Skyhigh> oh
    <Isamil> What stops you from doing the thing you did in game 1 this time
    <Skyhigh> i get it
    <Isamil> As a wolf
    <Skyhigh> nothing, obviously
    <Isamil> See
    <Skyhigh> i'm just saying that my behavior isn't suspicious, because it's what i do
    <Skyhigh> take that for what you will
    <Isamil> I still intend to kill you, but I'l take it into consideration if you die and the game doesn't end
    <Skyhigh> and if I'm right, and there are indeed two wolves left?
    <Skyhigh> the humans lose
    <Isamil> Well I know thats wrong
    <Skyhigh> this is true
    <Skyhigh> or perhaps not
    <Skyhigh> after all, my idea would work if you too were a wolf
    <Isamil> True, but your idea wouldn't affect me there
    <Skyhigh> think of it this way, if condizzle goes tonight, the game has no chance of ending in the wolves' favor
    <Isamil> How so
    <Skyhigh> well this is for everyone except you and condizzle
    <Skyhigh> for you, you really have a 50/50 decision...if you really are the psychic
    <Skyhigh> for everyone else, there are two situations:
    <Skyhigh> either condizzle and you are right, i am the lone wolf, the game ends if i go
    <Skyhigh> or
    <Skyhigh> condizzle is the wolf leading us one
    <Skyhigh> on
    <Skyhigh> oh wait
    <Skyhigh> third option
    <Skyhigh> both condizzle and you are wolves, and mouse, me, and gwahir are the humans
    <Skyhigh> so basically, in none of these situations does the game end if condizzle goes
    <Isamil> And if we kill you and you aren't the wolf
    <Skyhigh> however, if i go, there is the possibility that i am right and the game ends for the humans
    <Isamil> Theres always condizzle
    <Skyhigh> indeed
    <Skyhigh> the first two options are for you
    <Skyhigh> all 3 are for mouse and gwahir
    <Isamil> Well I would therefore pick out of the first 2 options
    <Skyhigh> but for everyone, the safest logical vote is to vote out condizzle
    <Skyhigh> and no, we shouldn't just choose out of the first two options, or at least gwahir and mouse shouldn't
    <Skyhigh> because you yourself could be the wolf
    <Skyhigh> and none of us can know for sure
    <Isamil> Doesn't affect me unless you happen to vote for me
    <Skyhigh> that is why voting for condizzle is the sure thing
    <Skyhigh> plain and simple
    <Isamil> I don't like it, we've(most LF and I) been planning this for many days now
    <Isamil> Of course the entire plan was based on condizzle actully being the seer
    <Isamil> If he's not we might be screwed I guess
    <Skyhigh> a conclusion that you can't prove, let alone base the game on
    <Isamil> Can't prove anything in this game
    <Skyhigh> true
    * PS_M|Away has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
    <Isamil> Wow how nice
    <Skyhigh> and there goes mouse
    <Skyhigh> ...
    <Isamil> Do we have to wait for tomarrow?
    <Skyhigh> so, where's gwahir?
    <Skyhigh> timezone wise
    <Isamil> Rarely here
    <Skyhigh> damn
    <Isamil> Er..I don't know
    <Skyhigh> well, i'll post my logic on the forum now, unless you object
    <Isamil> Not like you can stop me
    <Skyhigh> eh?
    <Skyhigh> you mean not like you can stop me?
    <Isamil> Er
    <Isamil> Yeah, not like I can stop you

    and if it kills me, so be it.

    <b>Sky</b> slowly shifted back into human form, standing over his kill. <b>Mouse</b> lay on the ground, unconcious. <b>Sky</b> looked over at <b>Mouse</b> deciding whether or not to kill him. <i>On the one hand, he's unconcious, so he poses little threat in his current state.</i> <b>Sky</b> thought to himself. <i>On the other hand, if he wakes up he might reveal my nature to the rest of the group.</i> "A big risk to take. But then again, everything in life is a risk." he said to himself, still staring at <b>Mouse</b>.

    <b>Sky</b> walked off towards the seacliffs, dark energy tailing off of him.

    -----

    <b>Sky</b> stood on the edge of the black rock, arms outstretched, the dark energy now fully coursing through him. He could feel the heartbeat of the island, it's pulse. <i>I can hear the whispers of the island's core. The ghosts of a thousand dead, trapped for all eternity in the currents and eddys of the dark energy here.</i> He could feel the pain echoing outward from the ruins beneath the surface, their cries still audible if one strained their ears to listen. <i>I can hear the pain of they lost in the dark, forever walking between the lay lines that intersect beneath this place.</i> The sounds of the physical world became lost to him as he opened his core, and let the dark energy flow outwards. <i>I hear-</i>

    <i>You hear nothing, punk.</i>

    "W-what? Who is that? Who walks in my mind?!" <b>Sky</b> demanded. "Who dares to interrupt me?!"

    "We do." <b>Condizzle</b> replied, the others standing behind him.

    <b>Sky</b> could only watch as a flash errupted from the barrell of the rifle <b>Condizzle</b> was carrying. The slug hit him in the chest, dead center, and carried him over the edge of the black rock. The world moved slowly as <b>Sky</b> fell, until his body collided with the rocks below. As his physical body died, his spiritual essence was torn away and taken to the dark core of the island. It would remain there, trapped for all eternity. Never finding rest.

    Along the horizon, a helicopter flew towards the island.
