Rumour WereDocker 6 - Holodeck of Horrors - Eagles victorious. No, really.

[ZergMinion]

Preamble:

Spoiler

We now know what happened and we'd rather we didn't.

It's fair to say it's been a rough few weeks for all things West Coast Eagle. Murders on the ground, Murders at sea, and Murders in space, plus a particularly brutal Murder on the Gold Coast.

Thankfully there's some light at the end of the tunnel. The newly refurbished Mineral Resources Park is ready after that definitely planned controlled demolition a few weeks back, and Trevor Nisbettt (Definitely not a clone) has unveiled a new state of the art Holodeck with full state of the art safety protocols where groups of past and present Eagles or lucky fans can experience anything from playing at a full house MCG to visiting a 1930's SpeakEasy during prohibition to walking on the moon. After passing Quality Assurance it is now time for the first customer testing. Unfortunately a couple of Freagles may have weaseled their way into the first test group, and the safety protocols may have been deactivated.

Roles:

Spoiler

Freagles - Every night, the Freagles choose a player to murder. They are allowed to murder each-other if they really want to.

Seer - One of the Eagle players is incredibly good at noticing fine details and is pretending to be a psychic as that's easier to explain. Once per night the seer may ask if another player is a Freagle, and receives a yes/no answer.

Doctor - One of the Eagle players is a master in the art of preventative medicine. Every night, the doctor chooses a player who will definitely not be murdered. If that player is murdered during the night, they recover by morning. The doctor may use their ability on themselves. The village only finds out who the doctor protected if that person is murdered during the night. The doctor can save players from the vigilante.

Vigilante - One of the Eagle players has had enough and is going to take out some Freagle trash. Once every two nights, starting on night two, the Vigilante has to choose a player to murder.

Eagle - Everyone without one of the above roles is a vanilla Eagle.

Sequence of play:

Spoiler

Day/Night 1:

Day - Eagles introduce their characters.

Very interesting late action. As usual, I didn't see it coming.

 

[MrKK]

Damn, would've liked to have it drag out a bit longer to know that everyone saw it.

 

[wing it]

He could make it a 3- way tie if he was mischievous...

I've pegged him as a disgruntled, disinterested villager. A Freagle would surely have voted for survival.

Surely?

Sorry. Too late now.

Eviction 3 - Crown roast of weiners

"It can't be Darling" said Jetta, while voting for Darling. "Was there anyone else?" asked Hams while voting for Darling. "Hickey just wandered off in a huff so it can't be him" said Braun, while voting for Darling.

The three of them looked at each-other. "Ummm...so I guess now we have to kill her?" said David Hynes who had not voted for Courtney Darling, but was a team player.

Courtney Darling sighed loudly. "Why am I always surrounded by idiots?" she exclaimed to no-one in particular.

Then she bolted out of the room, leaving a confusion of footballers in her wake.

"Shit! After her!" they all yelled in unison as their brains caught up with current events.

Courtney already had a two room head-start and was half way across the indoor pool area. If she was going to die anyway she was determined it wasn't at the hands of those buffoons. She tried a door she didn't remember seeing before off to the side of the pool area. Maybe she could hide there while they accidentally killed the wrong person? The door opened into the vastness of space. The air suddenly rushing past her pulled her into the void, where she had time to mouth the words "Stupid Holodeck!" before she asphyxiated and froze to death at the same time. The door closed again without assistance before the chasing pack could catch up and see what happened.

They found her body a couple of hours later floating face down in the spa.

"Did she drown herself?" asked Peos, who had rejoined the group after the first hour of searching. No-one seemed to know as none of them were medically trained.

Checking through her things they found no evidence to suggest she was a Freagle, and plenty of evidence to suggest she was married to Jack Darling.

"Gee" said Jetta..."Jack is gonna be pissed at us."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Courtney Darling AKA MWPP was a vanilla Eagle. The Freagle kills again tonight.

 

[Dazzler9]

I laugh and I cry.

 

[MrKK]

Running on the dangerous assumption that Peos and Hams were at least somewhat aware of what was happening, their reluctance to tip Hickey over the edge suggests they are villagers.

So if I'm right on Hynes being village then it's down to Hickey and Braun. At least I won't be here tomorrow to screw up another vote lol.

No clue, forget the deadline altogether.

 

[CM9000]

Well, perhaps I should’ve voted, but I was expecting to be whacked there.

Thanks for not letting me die wing it, appreciate it.

I was unaware but Il take the "it is one of those two" line to the death.

 

[MrKK]

FYI, I was 5 minutes away from changing my vote to Hickey when Braun stepped in to save him. I didn't want to lose Darling as she's the most clued-up player and I was very sure she was a villager. You'll have to ask Braun why he voted her out.
The more I think about it the more I think it's Hickey and we screwed the pooch again.

I was uncertain. That's why I changed to Hynes. Then when you went after Darling I followed your lead, since you are the only confirmed villager and I can trust your vote is honest.

If you didn't want to lose Darling then why on Earth did you vote for her??

 

[wing it]

Also, my reasoning was that if Hickey was the Freagle, he would have instantly switched votes to save himself. By being absent I just assumed he was a pissed off villager who had chucked the toys out of the cot.

I voted for her purely to force a tie and try and get some engagement from the other players, two of whom hadn't even voted (and never did). I even said so at the time:

Fair enough. Your switch makes you look very villager since the Freagle wouldn't care if Hickey went quietly tonight. As it stands we're going to OT.

I don't think anyone really believes Darling is this Freagle, so be suspicious of anyone who tips the vote in that direction now.

Also, my reasoning was that if Hickey was the Freagle, he would have instantly switched votes to save himself. By being absent I just assumed he was a pissed off villager who had chucked the toys out of the cot.

Per my post quoted above, he was possibly wedged in that voting for a clear villager in Darling would out him as the Freagle. Or he was just ignoring the thread - hard to tell in this game.

 

[Dazzler9]

I know the murder hasn't been posted yet but I'm getting in my vote now. Hickey

Night 4 - Welcome to the Jungle

David Hynes couldn't sleep. It might have been because lynching the only woman in the group made him uneasy, but more likely it was because none of the food here was real and you can't holograph nutrients.

He was pacing around the ARC looking for distraction or something with honest to god calories when he noticed a furtive figure duck through a door he hadn't seen before. "Aha" he thought and followed the figure through the door.

The door opened into a lush tropical forest, which surprised him long enough for the door to close behind him and disappear.

"What the hell?" he exclaimed, turning to look for the door. He felt around in the air experimentally but the door and wall it was attached to were gone.

He was pretty sure he'd seen this movie. What would Dwayne Johnson do? He was just attempting to figure out "Smouldering Intensity" when a giant Anaconda grabbed him by the head and twisted. He died so fast he didn't even have time to think "Stupid Holodeck".

His mangled body turned up on the floor of one of the state of the art toilets the next morning. A rather small huddle was convened.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
David Hynes AKA Dazzler10 is dead and was unsurprisingly an Eagle. 2nd last chance today to get the voting part right.

 

[MrKK]

Freagle just flat out trolling us now.

 

[MrKK]

Vote Hickey.

 

[wing it]

I done f***ed up lastnight. Sorry.

Vote Hickey

 

[ashley12]

hickey

 

[Smeg Head]

Why would the freagle leave Jetta alive? Unless he considered that he was likely to bark up the wrong tree on the next lynch.

Yeah, it's hard for me to not interpret it as an insult

 

[Smeg Head]

Braun is of interest to me thanks

 

[CM9000]

Vote Hickey.

Vote Hickey

hickey

I didn’t vote yesterday just to show you I was innocent, as voting for my own self preservation hasn’t done anyone any favours. I could’ve done so to potentially save myself, but I didn’t, and luckily wing it decided to save me.

I don’t know what else I have to do to prove my innocence.

You said you didn't vote because you were expecting to be whacked.
