Werewolf XXVI: The Thing - GAME OVER! THINGS WIN!!! - Page 51

Barkeep49 · 05-02-2006, 08:05 PM

Just in case it isn't clear: I am a good guy. When tested I will come up a good guy. Because I am a good guy.

Blade6119 · 05-02-2006, 08:06 PM

wow, you guys....you let hoops get off.....fucking great...raiders, path, hoops...three things right there

st.cronin · 05-02-2006, 08:06 PM

wtf

path12 is almost definitely a thing, but it's probably game over

Blade6119 · 05-02-2006, 08:07 PM

dola, i set up hoops and barkeep to see who would save hoops...didnt expect path, expected raiders...tangle threw me for a loop, but im pretty set on hoops and raiders now...hoops, like every day, being the one

Swaggs · 05-02-2006, 08:13 PM

Wow... I did not expect that kind of movement at the end.

hoopsguy · 05-02-2006, 08:14 PM

Hell, if we make it to Day 9 I'll start the day off voting for myself. I won't have access tomorrow from work and it takes too much work to defend myself day after day.

Barkeep, I hope you are just jerking our chains here ...

After watching hoops avoid it this long, im suprised it took that long. I figured they would pull something

I am staying optimistic about this. I think we nail Barkeep and hoops right in a row.

hoopsguy · 05-02-2006, 08:23 PM

If by nail, you mean scan scientists on back-to-back days then there is still a chance ...

Im not...i had barkeep at about 25%...used him as bait to create a close vote, and with it hopefully draw out the other things. I expected it to end on hoops though. I made a gamble, it failed. I think we pegged path and raiders as targets, but im upset i let my gambit backfire. LIke ive said for 6 days now, hoops needed to be tested. I tried to smoke and mirror his friends out, and it worked too well

path12 · 05-02-2006, 08:24 PM

Anyone seen Schmidty?

hoopsguy · 05-02-2006, 08:25 PM

He was on before the deadline, but hasn't been here for 10-15 minutes now (that I have seen).

Blade6119 · 05-02-2006, 08:25 PM

hes on board, im sure he will take care of it on his own time. End game write-up might take awhile

I used barkeep to catch and test a thing.

I don't believe King has tiebreaker power. So I switched. Wrong? So be it.

path12 · 05-02-2006, 08:33 PM

Dola, let me rephrase. I don't believe King has tiebreaker power. There was a tie. So I switched.

I hope you are not right. I could have used a little wink-wink or something.

Couldnt...hoops is too good of a player, where any comment i made with a clue he would have caught. Had to go totally serious...unfortunately i think i went too serious...i was hoping my vote on hoops and backing of king would say it all...oh well, if we lost we lost

hoopsguy · 05-02-2006, 08:41 PM

On an unrelated note, ran across this from Post #866 in this thread earlier when looking up voting records and bust up laughing while at work (thanks, Qwikshot):

"This is Howard Cosell and I'm getting a piece of Eskimo tail before the Thing gets me..."

Barkeep49 · 05-02-2006, 08:44 PM

mckerny: Are you seriously going to take credit for finding a thing? That's absurd. You went all out against me since before the end of of Day 7. This was not some plan. You thought beyond a doubt i was bad. You acted accordingly. And you missed. If the game does go on please spare me the idea that today was some master plan.

Barkeep49 · 05-02-2006, 08:57 PM

Having just caught up with today a couple comments:

1. I don't believe Schmidty used the same descriptions with replacements as he did with the originals especially after the whole brilliant thing on D1. I say this with SOME authority having been a replacement (pennywise) myself.
2. I will never ever lie about my availablity. Considering how many times I have posted in this thread, I think I show that I am willing to spend time. I was lurking in it all morning, but there was no discussion, so what could I do? When I'm playing I give it as much time as possible. I will never EVER use schedule as a tactic.

Barkeep49 · 05-03-2006, 12:02 AM

Since it's so quiet I'll toss out a discussion question:

If you are the last person converted for a win will you consider it a victory in anyway?

I guess it depends on how much you win.

Schmidty · 05-03-2006, 01:04 AM

My grandfather died tonight after 7 months of chemo, fighting colon cancer that he just found this past september. It spread fast, and he was brave, but was no match for all the tumors. I try not to share my life with internet people, but I feel it's necessary right now. i don't fell like doing this game tonight. I will try to do something in the next few days, but I can't think right now. If someone wants to start a new one, I won't take offense. I WILL piost in this thread again soon, but tonight, it just seems trivial.

saldana · 05-03-2006, 01:35 AM

oh man, schmidty, i am very sorry to hear about your grandfather...my sincerest condolences to you and your family...i am sure no one will blame you for putting the game on hold under these circumstances, you'll have all our sympathies.

Raiders Army · 05-03-2006, 05:11 AM

My condolences as well. Be there for your family and do what you need to do.

hoopsguy · 05-03-2006, 06:19 AM

Very sorry to hear that news, Schmidty. I'm sure we'll be around when you are ready to jump back into this.

tanglewood · 05-03-2006, 06:30 AM

My condolences to you and your family Schmidty.

JeeberD · 05-03-2006, 09:03 AM

Sorry about your loss, Schmidty.

Barkeep49 · 05-03-2006, 09:20 AM

This is an absolute shame. I know we all understand.

path12 · 05-03-2006, 09:56 AM

Best wishes to you and yours, Schmidty.

Poli · 05-03-2006, 09:56 AM

I'm sorry for your loss, bud. I'll be praying for you.

st.cronin · 05-03-2006, 10:03 AM

We're all with you Schmidty.

SnDvls · 05-03-2006, 11:01 AM

Horrible news Schmidty...my thoughs are with you and your family.

Swaggs · 05-03-2006, 11:26 AM

Sorry for your loss, Schmidty.

Stay strong.

Blade6119 · 05-03-2006, 05:55 PM

Im terribly sorry for your loss schmidty! My thoughts, as well as everyone on this board go out to you. Stay strong through this period, and i wish you all the best

kingfc22 · 05-03-2006, 06:11 PM

Sorry to hear for your loss schmidty.

dubb93 · 05-03-2006, 06:16 PM

Very sorry to hear about your loss schmidty.

Take your time, however if you would like to get the game finished and don't feel like you could do it you could PM me the game set-up and I'd be willing to finish it up for you. I'm now back from my trip that forced me to pull out of the game.

Schmidty · 05-05-2006, 03:57 PM

Thanks for all the kind thoughts guys. This has been tough because my grandpa was like a best friend growing up, but I haven't seen him in the 2 1/2 years that I've been in Washington. I was also pretty sporadic with my calls and such until I found out how quickly things were spreading. Add in the fact that I can't afford to get back to Michigan for the funeral, and things have been tough over the past few days. I've been feeling guilty, depressed and hollow.

I'm going to finish this game up and stop making you guys wait. I'll do the write up this evening.

I see there's a new game forming, so hopefully I can get into that, because I really need distractions right now.

Barkeep49 · 05-05-2006, 04:32 PM

I am glad to hear this game is continuing and my heart goes out to you based on the situation you've been in.

Schmidty · 05-06-2006, 12:09 AM

You go to sleep tonight feeling down and defeated, but you are still able to fall asleep.

While you dream, you have visions of horrific creatues covered with sharp fangs and huge appendages coming from every orifice standing over your slumbering bodies.

Too late, your realize that your "dream" is not fantasy: It is reality.

"You" will never wake up again, but you don't care. You're only "thought" is to multiply and destroy for your Mother.

The Things Win.

I dunno. I like being able to read a book, hold a drink, and scratch my head at the same time.

You were, actually. You were the final convert and gave us the win.

There was talk of converting you a night earlier, but I was sure we'd be able to get you to help us by voting for Barkeep.

The full list that were things on the last day this were hoops, path12, Swaggs, Raiders Army, kingfc, and myself.

JeeberD · 05-06-2006, 12:53 AM

Oh, so I won?

WOOHOO! Go Things!

You were the final conversion, so you kind of won.

If I remember correctly, it went in this order: Qwikshot (original Thing--RIP), saldana (original Thing--RIP), Hoops, Swaggs, Path, Coffee Warlord (RIP), mckerney (the real bodyguard), Raiders Army, King (who had the double vote role, and then JeeberD.

Were there any Thing friendly roles out there? For awhile, we thought st. cronin was, because he kept throwing suspicion away from us, but then he lead the charge against CW.

What other roles were out there? We had the terrible run of converting three straight simple scientists with hoops, me, and Path.
