Octopus Overlords

(Crux all of a sudden becomes PR_GMR--Hey, it happens in sitcoms, so it can happen here)

I vote for Gryndl! He just smells like.... THE THING!!

INTERLUDE

Voice 1: Hey guys, Crux has woken up!
Voice 2: Oh thank God, I though he'd never recover from that coma.
Voice 1: Yeah... I think maybe it's affected his mind being gone sso long, though.
Voice 2: Huh?
Voice 1: Yeah, hee keeps insisting he's the King of Spain. And a weasel. Oh! And apparently his name is PR_GMR now....
PR_GMR: I can fly!
Voice 1: Oh God, man, put on some clothes!
Voice 2: Alien infestation is hell.

END INTERLUDE

PR_GMR is a player in this game. He has always been a player. All statements to the contrary are treason. The fictional entity many of you have bene hallucinating known as Crux is an un-person. He does not exist. Agreement is mandatory. Disagreement is punished by summary execution.

FOURTH TEST

Pharaoh ----> Kraegor
Zekester ---> Kraegor
rdm ---> Kraegor
Trikane ---> Caine
PR_GMR ----> Gryndyl
Gryndyl ---> Pharaoh
Kraegor ---> Pharaoh
Caine --->
Lars ---> Kraegor

TALLY:

Kraegor: 3
Pharaoh: 2
Caine: 1
Gryndyl: 1
Voting continues as normal. Decide within 48 hours or I will take the plurality as the vote. Majority is five.

So when Gryndl posts that you just wasted your vote blah blah, go ahead and make sure to see how he defends it:

A) If he says that you were scammed and he isn't a Thing and you should vote for me, he's confirming hes a Thing.

B) If he says that you are wasting your vote and he isn't a Thing and you should vote for Kraegor, he's a Thing trying to do the right move and kill another THing to save his ass.

We pretty much know both of em are evil, its just a matter of taking em down!

Of course, I'm insane! I'm the King of Spain and I'm prancing around the artic butt naked.

so pm_gmr...faced with the choice of steak (me) or chicken (pharaoh) orders...the fish...

hmmm

*cry* still in deadlock.........Nooooooooooooooooooo

yeah, PR, flip a coin or something if you have to. You can vote for me next time if you still feel the urge

it's not rocket science need 5. trikane switch to me. done.

i survive. we move to day 15. with 3 things.

do it. do it! do it!!

day 13 whatever...

PR_GMR notices the deadlocked, and tense situation at the research facility. People stay on their rooms.. Things can be heard scurrying about. A horrid scream comes in the night.

Enough of this!!

I was wrong to accuse Gryndil. It's obviously one of the rest..

I found these pair of dirty-ass drawers... Look at them! They're horrid. Something just burst disgustingly out this person's ass!

What name do they have on them!

KRAEGOR'S!!!!

PR_GMR changes his vote and votes for Kraegor as The Thing

someone wrote my name on their underwear? guess i have an avid fan.

grats pharaoh. guess you'll infect me now. yippee.

<shrug> I tried to get a pharaoh vote going

i just like how there's no evidence against me. re: consistant behavior.

Pharaoh has been playing politician...re: flippy floppy. so he wins.

/sigh.

I should use more strong words in my accusations i guess.

vote pharaoh! The sick bastard tortures squirrels! WTF is wrong with you people!! Cant you see he's guilty!!!?!?! LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!! OMGDAMMIT!!!?!?!WTF?!!

(PR walks into the room... with his winter beard, he even looks a bit like Kurt Russell. His sporting a flamethrower, a petri dish, and a stick of metal)

Come on, Kraegor... Time for your test.

obviously im guilty. that's why i post so quickly. to hide my guilt

It is night? It wasn't Kraegor?

Oh, Hell no.. I better safeguard my ass!

(PR goes back to his room.. locks his door right behind him. Starts watching re-runs of 'The Price Is Right')

Well I apologize to Kraegor, and appluad Gryndl on getting us eachothers throats.

Probally tonight Kraegor or myself will be infected, so at least we held up well.

*waves goodbye to day*

Okay...whew! I'm back. What's happened since I've been gone? Oh...I'm dead...and 2 days have passed....in a month. Pity that...

IT IS DAY

Voting for the first test begins again immediately as per. Remeber a seconde test is guaranteed whatever the results of the first - also remeber that a sucessful first test does not lead to a third.

Majority is five - as soon as a majority is reached it will be binding.

As much as I suspect Pharaoh, I REALLY suspect PR_GMR

Welcome to Antarctica. Bend over.

That sucked. Pharaoh's gotta be next on the list though. Or Kraegor again... worked on mssteelers last time right? Well if this hasn't led anywhere by tomorrow night I'll reevaluate.

Burn Pharaoh Burn!

better to clear pharaoh first. he's gonna babble, need to know his place.

Pharaoh

Fair enough. Switching to Pharaoh

However, based on the rapidly improved thing response time, I'm thinking PR should be high on our list.

(PR comes out of his room.. where he locked himself in all night)

I see you've all gotten up early, and have started to conspire afresh.

Well, you can look me over all you want.

I'm an innocent puerto rican.. I'm not a Thing. You don't have no proof, so you must acquit! Tareeq will represent me!

That thing that is amongst you is Pharaoh. He is IT!!!!

SECOND TEST

Begin voting on the second test immediately.

Pharaoh ---->
Zekester --->
rdm --->
Trikane --->
PR_GMR ---->
Gryndyl --->
Kraegor --->
Caine --->
Lars --->

I think Gryndyl played Kraeger and I against eachother and proved hes a Thing.

I vote Gryndyl!

I think that you were the one that kept harpinf for everybody to test Kraegor and I had nothing to do with it other than votin in order to keep the game moving.

I vote PR_GMR

wow. pharaoh and i both missed.

messy...back to the drawin board...

right now,

im suspiscious of Lars, because he's on chaos' "oh they'd be crazy to test him" list. And since chaos was playin the tongue in cheek game the entire time....yeah lars looks interesting.

gryndyl, yes i was suspicious of him, but figured that was pharaoh throwin smoke (couple game-days back)....so yeah...hmm...

caine...cuz of the silence...

pm_gmr...dont really suspect him because...why draw attention by voting outside of the block to start things? course that could be mis-direction but...

<enhance>
<processing....>
<enhance>
<processing...>

prime for infection this past turn...well the ones that are left...

Zekester
rdm
Trikane
Kraegor

yeah im clean but no one believed me last time..why believe me now?

I knew it. Both Kraegor and Pharoeh WERE clean. Now who the hell knows. Amazingly, I am still human..whoopee! Wish they would infect me and get it over with lol.

So I am going back to my last vote CAINE.

So Pharoah is clean? That's news to me. His bunk is always filthy.. and I'm tired of finding his old, stale porn magazines at the lab after his shift is over. Dude, that 'Barely Legal' issue is over 6 years old. She's in her thirties by now!

Since Gryndil has picked on me.. I send the distrust back his way. My vote goes to Gryndil.

SECOND TEST

Pharaoh ----> Gryndyl
Zekester --->
rdm --->
Trikane ---> Caine
PR_GMR ----> Gryndyl
Gryndyl ---> PR_GMR
Kraegor --->
Caine --->
Lars --->

I really thought one of the two were a thing, so that just leads me to believe the one guy confusing the issue is one...

Burn Gryndyl Burn!!??!!??
