Werepenguin XV- The wrath of tablet game thread

Jura you really ruined my plan when you didn't hide behind having a vote against yourself. Dave was supposed to die, but I thought it was going to happen at the same time you were lynched when night fell. When Dave died right away, and you went out of your way to say your vote was to cancel Dave's, it made you look too honest for me to vote for and fool anyone. Which, fair enough, because you weren't a bad guy so it wasn't exactly like you were lying to anyone (you know, like I was ).

I had a host of half-baked plans at the end, as I’d put earlier I’d figured NSS’s vote was clutching at straws, but I couldn’t be sure, that left you, SCG and Gayer, if I cancelled all the votes and made it obvious I was good I thought you still might come at me knowing I had a gun, I was going to shoot the first person who then voted for me and try to get the last person to nullify the remaining vote, we could have won, but you voted for NSS and acted cute, so I thought what if it is NSS and blew it, and Gayer didn’t turn up so it was moot.

Did all the dead apart from Jane just fuck off?

But I enjoyed it, good game CFC.

Yep, I fucked off once dead. I knew our prophet had been killed so there was little good we could provide.

None of the ghosts ever contacted me, so after NSS voted to lynch Jura I contacted Jane and told her I thought Jura was innocent and I'd vote to lynch NSS. I don't know if Jane passed it on, but that was my way of trying to make myself look innocent.

Congratulations to the evil team. Not that I really cared which way it went. I still have no idea what happened. I won't play again unless the narrator AND a majority of the players want me in, which at this point seems extremely unlikely. I obviously don't belong in these things. Not that I object, but CFC made it pretty clear that I was not welcome. Which, frankly, is understandable.

You shouldn't let other people decide how you are going to spend your leisure time for you. Either you want to play, or you don't. There is a decision to be made either way, and consequences that go along with the decision you make. As an adult, the onus is on you to find your path. Look what happens when you wuss out. The Werepenguins win. Don't be a bitch. Make a decision and take the appropriate action in accordance with the decision you make.

Good advice. I'd never played one of these games before so it made sense to try. Since I really could not figure out what was going on, I tried to just be silly. In the first one I had absolutely zero sense of who might be the penguins. It seemed as though one person voted for someone they didn't like and then people jumped on the bandwagon. In the second one, maybe because I'm losing my ability to concentrate in my old age, I could not keep track of the details enough to do anything useful. I'm glad I played because it's the only way to find out, but these games don't seem to be my thing. In the future I'll pass. Thanks for letting me give it a try. 

Mags! You quitting on me boy, is that what they do where you come from? The moment stuff stops making sense is the moment finely balanced minds quail?  No, my friend here we are robust, stone gods, when things stop making sense, that is where we thrive, are you seriously saying that you have reached old age and are still looking to join the dots for sanity? There is a turning you missed somewhere, all those years as a minor celebrity in hiding and it never occurred, that the world is a mad house, the plates do not belong on the table, numbers add up to precisely nothing, the only things with any meaning are intoxicants, tears of laughter and Were-penguins.

I got caught up with things in real life.  But in my defense I did do a lot of damage to my own side so that's participation of a sort.

It's like boydster said: If it's not fun, don't do it. In the vastly unlikely event that enough people wanted me in the game, knowing that I'm not going to get any better at it, I could change my mind. But at this point it seems that everyone, including me, will enjoy it more without me in it. And, yes, I think that my mind is starting to go. I suspect that the "globularists" (to use wise's term) here would agree. I cannot concentrate on stuff as well as I once could. And if I do play, I'm not going to change my style. It will just be more of the same. It was interesting to give it a try, though.

(Even way back when I was younger and home computers were just coming out, I could not figure out those text games. So maybe it's not old age at all, just not something I'm good at.)

A part of you will always be in my pants!

You don't have to be good at this game, you just have to participate. In actively stating you will refuse to vote to kill someone in the game, you're basically saying you refuse to participate and are just dead weight.

Damn, I wasn't able to get on until now because my parents are visiting and I was too late

Exactly. I gave it a try. It's not for me. As I stated before my first one, games in which people pretend to kill each other are not my thing. I stated that I would not vote to kill anyone, and I was urged to play anyway. So I did. I went into the second one with the same proviso. I won't play again unless a lot of people say they want me to, which is unlikely, because now you all know that I won't do anything but try to make silly comments. At least I won't get angry and throw fits like a certain temperamental individual. But unless there's a bunch of people who want me in the game just to annoy you and CFC, I don't think you have to worry.

All well and good. If that's how you feel, then it is probably best to stick to it and not participate, even if others try to convince you otherwise.

It's all an act duck. His entire persona is... I am suspecting he is an alt of someone.

He speaks kinda like scepti, but not sure.

If enough people want me to participate I will. But I agree with you it would be a bad idea.

Nope. I'm not an alt of anyone. I've never posted on this or any other Flat Earth chat board as anyone other than myself. Obviously I'm not using my real name. But I'm much too lazy to try to maintain multiple usernames.

Mags! I think I speak for some here when I say, that while we are happy to the point of delirium for as many people as possible to come and play this glorious game, because in diversity and numbers there is the potential for unadulterated joy and mayhem, we will not be begging you, never okay, and if you should come to the game with the attitude you have displayed previously, vis a vis, Mags is too holy to stoop to the level of pretending to butcher their friends within the rules of the game that is predicated on the gradual whittling down of the living as a device for ratcheting up the tension, and would frankly be impossible to finish if we all pretended to be Gandhi, then you will be destined to be used as a meat shield or sacrificial lamb, always.

I will do a game in a month or so, and I hope it will be epic, and I would like you to be there, but be warned, there will be a character with a “Magsnum” pistol, that will have a variety of salt based ammunition infused with screwworm eggs, flesh eating bacteria and itching powder, with which he will shoot you in the groin area at the slightest hint of you preaching to us, the damned, just saying.

Fair enough, and I appreciate the warning. There are things like eating crickets, that one tries once just because other people say it's good and one wants to find out what the deal is about it, and that having done once and learned it's not really your thing, one leaves alone afterwards.

Just please let me say that I was not trying to be holier than thou and there was no judgement of others intended in my actions. I was just unable to bring myself to participate in the manner the game dictated.

[I vote to lynch Mags in perpetuity]

What about werepenguin XVI: storming area51? There are already many creatures there can be used in a game.
