Rumour WereDocker 5: ClusterFreagle - Game over, man, game over

[Truckosaurus]

Additional Rules:
Trade Week - the Freagle Captain can recruit one Eagle in exchange for a packet of chips, but they have to do it within the first three rounds.

HeavenChat - discussion between dead/exiled players is quarantined from the thread in a PM group I'll establish after the first lynching.

Preseason Competition - consisting of a day where everyone can establish themselves and their characters prior to the first kill.

No Runners - no PMs between active competitors, all strategy talk conducted in thread.

Converting - if the Freagle Captain converts the Match Analyst or the Club Doctor, a new player will be picked to fill that role. A new player will not be picked to replace the Club Doctor if the power to save an attacked player has already been used.

ACTIVE ROLES:
Freagle Captain - can convert an Eagle during Trade Week (see above).

Freagle - work it out, Einstein.

Match Analyst - the MA can ask the compere about any player to find out whether they're the Freagle or not, but only once per round. They have to find a way to convince people to follow their lead without being identified by the Freagles as the MA, or risk death!

Club Doctor - every night, after the Freagles have picked who to kill the Club Doctor will be given the opportunity to save them, but they can only use this power once. They can save it for themselves (assuming they aren't evicted) or use it to save someone else. After that, they'll have run out of panadol and caffeine tablets.

DEAD TO ME PLAYERS

[RookiePick]

Oops sorry Ochre not Quinz confirmed by Ash.

So here it is. Running with the KISS principle:

Townsfolk:
Ashley 12 - Seer
MWPP - Seer confirmed
Quinz - Seer confirmed

Now how about the other two confirmed townies I promised you...

Wally Matera = Doctor. Yes it was I who saved our erstwhile seer last night. A few epi-pens left at the bottom of the kit bag after I finally came to terms with Brandon being a little fatty as opposed to bloated by an allergic reaction.

... But if Wally is the Doctor that must mean... We have our first Freagle

VOTE: SMEG HEAD = Freagle

That brings us to our 5th townie..

I beat out SMEG Head with a buzzer beating vote last night. His vote was for
TOWNIE - What is (Braun)

Knowing his doctor gambit would come unstuck there is no way he would have thrown a co-freagle under the bus.

Vote for SMEG Head there is 0% chance he flips Doctor.

Also explains why the freagles didn't kill 'Doctor' Barra for the numerical advantage.

I'm happy to follow RP on this - he knows he'll be lynched tomorrow if Barra flips town. Switch to Adrian Barich.

Good enough for me. As I said earlier, if another doctor arises and we kill Barich, we'll nab a Freagle either way as the new doctor will be the Freagle if Barich isn't.

Of course if Barich turns out to be an Eagle and the Freagles murder RookiePick overnight I'm packing my things and going home because this game is stupid.

Vote: Adrian Barich

P.S. Like the logical deduction about Braun.

 

[ZergMinion]

P.P.S. Don't assume everyone jumping on Barich are not Freagles. Smart play now he's outed is to jump on him for remaining Freagles assuming RP isn't making stuff up.

 

[RookiePick]

Can someone run up a vote tally please?

Ta

 

[Carbine Chaos]

My current vote is based on an obvious strategy re: conversion, so it’s unlikely one that the Freagles would have employed. Surely?

With that in mind David Grace QC sees no reason to not change his vote to Adrian Barich.

You massive potato, I was smoke screening the actual doctor but now you have gone and wasted a whole day of freagle hunting with this melt.

Score update

Barich - 4
Obama - 2
Hickey - 1

with Daz, CM, Quinny, DoaShuey, Smeg, Ash and wing it yet to vote.

 

[Quinz]

Adrian Barich works for me.

 

[ZergMinion]

You massive potato, I was smoke screening the actual doctor but now you have gone and wasted a whole day of freagle hunting with this melt.

If we've wasted a day that's on you for BSing us to save yourself yesterday when we punted another Eagle instead of you. Get out and stay out.

 

[RookiePick]

Either way you deserve to die for taking that line as a townie as this was inevitable

But you are a freagle. So I'm down with that.

 

[ZergMinion]

Going to toot my own horn for a moment and point out that unless a new doctor declares themselves today, my last minute vote last night likely saved the doc, which probably makes me a villager (no certainties since bloody Squashface last game though).

I would like to retract this horn tooting just quietly.

 

[Smeg Head]

If im a freagle maybe you should also go the account delete?

 

[Doashuey]

Not convinced on Barich but then again not.convinced on anyone. Still reckon CM and Squash but looking at the pile on, a vote for either wont mean much so add me.to the pile on - Barich.
If he is the convert that would be great but if not I reckon we have to test out the other 2.

 

[CM9000]

I vote for Adrian Barich.

 

[RookiePick]

This should activate a handy Easter Egg. Good job team

 

[squashface]

I’ve been taking full advantage of the pubs opening up today so forgive me for being behind but why is there a pile-on on Barich?

Day 3 - Gornski

Barra's goose was cooked, so it was safe to eat. He loved goose sandwiches. Delicious. Meanwhile a lynch mob was forming behind him, made up of former teammates, former presidents and former relevant pop rock performers. God that camembert was good on goose. Tom Hickey tapped him on the shoulder. "Psst, Barra, I've got a bit of hot inside goss for you."
"Mmmf?" Replied Barich, his mouth full.
"We think you're a Freagle so we're going to throw you overboard."
Barra reached for his phone to tweet this, his media instincts kicking in before his survival instincts.

The mob half-pushed, half-carried Barra over to a railing while he tried to get the fingerprint recognition on his phone lined up properly. He'd just got it right and unlocked his phone when he went over the side. Typical. The Eagles above him were baffled when the expected splash was replaced with a loud thud. They peered over the railing and realised their mistake. Beneath them was not the temperate waters of the Pilbara coast, but the lower deck of the Aquila. Whoops, ballsed that one up. Still, going by the blood spatter Barra had made some kind of a splash. Still yet, the real mistake was lynching an innocent Eagle.

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

No Freagle for you, Smeg Head a.k.a. Adrian Barich was an Eagle. Another death greets you tomorrow morning.

RP claimed to be the doctor. It was a pretty good post. You should go back and read it.

 

[ZergMinion]

Oh come on.

 

[RookiePick]

Whelp. I'm out then.

You can't play these games when townies behave like this. It's impossible.

So that's you shouting in the street outside my apartment?

 

[ZergMinion]

So that's you shouting in the street outside my apartment?

Can we assume from the lack of a listed role that Smeg Head definitely wasn't the doctor and is therefore 100% a confirmed idiot?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Correct, he was not the Doctor. The idiot bit I'll leave to you all individually to decide.

 

[squashface]

So that's you shouting in the street outside my apartment?

Yeah mate let me in ffs it’s cold
