You ask too much of me.

I actually never used your troll powers, for the record.

I may or may not have felt an unnatural compulsion to sit under a bridge for a day or two after the fact, but that's neither here nor there. (<3)

This owlhosr has to keep insisting upon this fact whenever jokes are made.

It's like she has a guilty conscience or something.

8.1 I Don't & Even Know Crustless Quiche

Total Time:
Prep: 1h
Cooking: 25min

Yield:
serves 21

Ingredients:
2 clusterfucks
100g congratulations
100g Pan, shredded
6 Tikis
1 cup confusion
1/2 teaspoon lucas
pinch of bullying

Directions:
Wash the clusterfucks and cut them in medium-thick slices.¹
Cut the congratulations in bite-size chunks, and mix with clusterfucks and shredded Pan. Place the mixture in a greased pie mold.

Whisk the tikis and add a cup of confusion, as shown in fig.1.

Er, double role powers, right? Well, if there's someone whose role power is a kill, this could get messy, no?

hoothosr wrote:Only one timeline will be chosen to continue.

Combine both ingredients thoroughly.²

Add Lucas and a pinch of bullying to the mixture, and pour it over the ingredients that you previously placed in the pie mold. Bake 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C.

Serve with hope.³

Chef's Notes:
¹ this game is a clusterfuck what is even going on. jfc I just keep on catching up ugh. sidenote, I'm returning home on thursday (finally), so provided I'm still alive by then, I plan on re-reading some things and making a person-to-person spec post.
² tiki, I'm fairly sure either way only one action will go through. also, hum. may I ask if your book's prologue hint/keyword is "dead"?
³ hope that I made the correct decision in dropping my deo suspicions and didn't vote deo when threads were split, and that this is indeed a town action and will let deo give us some info. (and also hope that thread lets me catch up properly soon. it's sort of hard to spec properly when you barely remember what you read through in the last I-don't-even-fucking-want-to-know-how-many pages.)

Wait, did deo even claim the (presumably) LoZ (and presumably) Majora's Mask timeline split? I thought that was just a vague comment by him and Lucas saying it felt like a deo thing. Though if this is his power, I can see why he wouldn't wish to activate it during the four split threads.

... also makes sense for it to activate upon death, given the theme of the game and (presumably) its book/manga/whichever, but I'm not sure how him being lynched would cut the information in half? Unless he planned to use it during a day phase to see people do two lynch votes. Though if it's the moon literally falling, it has to be a night action, right?

Hmmm.

That is if this is his role and u-pick choice.

I've found a redundancy in your recipe:

I shook my head. "No, the word 'dead' has nothing to do with me." And if I was to have it my way, 'dead' would have nothing to do with me for a good, long time.¹

1. Actually, in the books, written as memoirs of his character, his character lived to see his second century. Of course, even being able to jail himself the once, in order to equal this feat all he has left to do is run his mouth. Thankfully (or perhaps not), this was already something he was wont to do.

Unrelated, can someone provide the links from the master-post in the first post in the previous thread? Because it's locked and I can't quote it to get at the bbcode and forgot to save the links last night, after realizing I am for some reason unable to click the chapter links.

I guess I can just dig through the thread to find the posts. Or hosr post history.

@lulu: didn't nautilus say her death would be obscured though??? I assume this is part of it

nautilus wrote:The way my role PM is split up is that half of it is the Navidson Record, which has a scene that implies that my house is like schrodinger's cat (?) and I presume this means that something about my rollover flip is going to be either inaccurate or missing

high seraph wrote:I really think she didn't know exactly what would happen. And I don't know exactly how this works either, even though I've read her role like fifty times. FYI, her role is so weird it has around 1000 words, about 35~ of which are actual role instructions.

Edit: I missed 1 link, just fixed that.
Edit2: Updated some more stuff.
Edit3: THESE EDITS JUST KEEP ON COMING

This help any?

Sort of, yes. Thanks!

Mainly I wanted to double-check the list of book title keywords. I... forgot to jot them down. I know alca did previously, but.

Anyway, was just curious if there would be a hint towards which LoZ book it might have been, and I saw "legend", which come to think of it I think someone else said, but I wanted to check okay leave me alone. Also because I wasn't sure if owlhosr just conveniently included the Majora's Mask image due to mentions of a moon--since I wouldn't put it past her--or if the book/manga/whichever was actually specifically Majora's Mask and not just a general LoZ thing.

@Lux I don't have all rollover links because after nautilus got lynched all I could physically do was shake my head "no" aggressively for several consecutive minutes while reciting my mantra that goes "fuck you fuck you fuck y o u fuck yo u" or something like that. But I do have a few rollover links ok.

fwiw I would appreciate if hosrs would either put the rollover links on this thread's first post or unlock the other thread so we can get all other links by ourselves ;w; (s-sorry for being a pain in the ass)

anyway:

@pan thank you so much for being open about your actions ;w; I just kind of wished... you had targeted someone other than R...asei..... but that's ok I guess u r just a neutral heh.......

STUNNING HISTORY:

I'm gonna think a little about these stuns and be right back.

unrelated but now i feel like i should give LoZ games another try.... I only played the original game on the SNES and I didn't even get very far because I was dazzled by Final Fantasy games lmao. A Link Between Worlds did kind of pique my interest tho so mayb 1 day??? who knows

8. 2 Huh Wha EmpasomethingIjustfoundonthenetandfitsingredientnumber

Wait, did deo even claim the (presumably) LoZ (and presumably) Majora's Mask timeline split?

not explicitly, I believe, but this seems like it fits to what he claimed re: adding more confusion, and he quoted the entire intermission (+commented) which made me think that was him saying HI IT'S ME. (I also saw that before the actual.. intermission, so it might have been just the order of seeing it making me think so??)

Luxaria wrote:... also makes sense for it to activate upon death, given the theme of the game and (presumably) its book/manga/whichever, but I'm not sure how him being lynched would cut the information in half?

this might be a wild assumption, but. I'm assuming because the time for sending in the actions was shorter, that deo actually gets to pick which timeline becomes real. no idea how much he gets - possibly just potential rollovers??
but that would explain the info cut in half, as if he is still alive, he can share the info with the thread and potentially quite literally double the information we get through rollovers!
that's just my thinking though and it could be horribly off-track.

Lightly dot the edges of the dough with water, fold in half, and press with a fork to seal. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 190º C until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve with 1 cup store-bought uncertainty, that is only sold on weekdays after questioning weekends.

@ Lucas

Thanks ;w;

This would actually be really cool if so. Also really powerful.

Also kind of fits the game (not sure about the manga, of which I believe there is one?) in that you would do the story over and over and over, and eventually by the end you know which actions to perform on which days for the timeline results that you want. So in this case... it'd fit? I'm not sure if each person had to submit definitive "Timeline 1" and "Timeline 2" actions and only one is chosen between the two, or if just that two were submitted and the owner of the role gets to pick which of the two for each individual action.

I feel like the second variant would be far too strong, so I'm inclined to believe the role owner is merely shown what both timeline 1 and timeline 2 would have as their rollovers, and one is chosen over the other. Maybe?

Also, I agree that it seems like deo is claiming it, given his comments after quoting the intermission. I just was curious if we had any explicit claims in the thread.

o i actually skipped Lux's last post and didn't see that she only wanted to check the hints wow

here's the hints I have:

Re: N0 hints

Would the second poem be Pan? I can't see that book fitting anything else... except maybe an instructional manual. lol...

Also adds a certain poetry to the game if both neutral roles are "poem"-related works.

<3 @ all of you for helping me in my time of need.
