Night 1

Despite a relatively quiet night, everyone was feeling slightly tense and untrustworthy. Still, the group knew there were traitors within, and needed to lobotomise them sooner rather than later. At first, people were content to draw straws and infer conclusions from the reactions of those around them. However, that soon descended into madness, and not the kind that the Asylum was supposed to treat.

Accusations flew left and right, but a consensus slowly emerged at the end of the day. Why was that one guy acting so weird, so scummy, so aloof? The eventual target couldn't have been more delighted. He cackled maniacally as the group hauled him to the Lobotomy Room, with a smile as wide as the permanent one etched onto his face.

"You fools! I played you all against each other and this is the result! Madness is like gravity; all it takes is a little push! Introduce a little anarchy! Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos! I'm an agent of cha-"

And then they pulled the switch. Just to shut him up. But he'd already won.​

Charlie Brown has been lobotomised. He was the Joker.
Charlie Brown has won the game.​

Day 2

Oh, what a night* for one Norman Bates. As the sun set, he armed himself with his trusty binoculars and contraband popcorn and watched Kelly Bailey's room like a hawk.

First he saw Paul Blart visit Kelly whilst performing his investigations. Then he saw a small creature scurry through a hole in the wall. Was it a mouse? A squirrel? No, it was a rat. A rat that turned into Peter Pettigrew. He knocked Kelly out cold and dragged her limp body to the Lobotomy Room. Had she been awake, she'd have cackled even more than the Joker, and the Asylum staff wouldn't have wanted that. But Norman saw it all.

And if that wasn't enough, Norman had barely started with his popcorn before a mysterious figure knocked on his door and asked him to join his Family. What else could he do but accept? Who knew the amount of people watching he could do.

Elsewhere, Dr. Evil planted his first poisoned cocktail in a secluded area of the Asylum, and Feathers continued his waddling around the same vicinity. Who knows what secrets he was spouting?​

Alex Kaz has been lobotomised. He was Kelly Bailey.​

Day will end approximately 50 hours from now at 00:00pm GMT. Please submit your night actions to me via PM/Discord message as soon as possible. I'll literally be doing a Chris Rea, hence the extra two hours of hopeful chaos.

Right, we must find and remove Manson, that popcorn interrupting fiend.
 
Crane pls. Dammit I had quite the organizing role, it would be amazing later in the game :' (

Guess your questions will have to wait, Arsenic.
 
Who wants to win money
Spoiler:

Nah, I wasn't going to claim to know that.

But he certainly wasn't a very good choice, anyways. But whatever, the fool seems to win quite frequently on day one or even two here in the UG. Everyone is so easily baited.

Who was a better choice then? I don't remember you giving any other options.

Primarily because almost all of the votes against him happened while I was gone.

And nothing he did warranted a bandwagon against him anyways.

I love how people always accuse someone of starting a baseless bandwagon and then use that as reasoning to start one against them instead.
 
Does poison kill at night or at the end of the night phase?
 
Oh, well then I'm going to do something totally un-EC-like and role claim.

I am Dr. Frasier Crane, and NightKrow will not be dying to poison on this night.
 
So not going to do Naku's thing (:P), but next time I tell you not to lynch someone don't xD
Then again, if Krow is poisoned I was wrong about her anyway lol

Which really only leaves Johnny for my current suspect list so I'll keep waiting and watching for now. We've learned that one Paul Blart is "one of the cops" in this game which means we have two (don't remember if this was confirmed or not I do remember at least one was removed though). I'd also hazard a guess that Blart is not the real cop based on that character. That's just speculation though.

Sorry folks, that's all I've got for this moment.
 
Johnny said:
I'm sorry, did you ever say CB was the Fool? Oh that's right, you didn't :p and people will follow the most convincing argument, it's not that we should follow you just because you say so haha.
Click to expand...

Of course I didn't because, as I assumed was obvious in my clearly joke comment, I did not know. Although quite frankly I do wonder how anyone found the ludicrous arguments against him even remotely convincing. I'm wondering if there wasn't something fishy going on in there.
 
Johnny said:
He wanted to get lynched, you do know that, right? Other people saw it too, including Alex.
Click to expand...

Um... if people saw he was trying to get lynched he wouldn't have been lynched. Nobody lynches the person who is obviously trying to get lynched. But beyond the attitude he put on (maybe), there was literally nothing against him. It was a bad lynch and a bad bandwagon not because he was the Fool, but because there literally no good reason for the bandwagon to be happening. He didn't even really need to do anything because the bandwagon formed without him actually having to do anything to make it happen. So once it had, he just had to be dismissive and chill. It's not that I want to discredit Josh's win because he made the right plays once the wagon had formed, I'm just saying the stupid bandwagon basically removed all the work he would have needed to do.

Something fishy like what? You should focus on the people who were "sure" about his innocence, such as Seth and lloebet, the only way you could've known was if you were mafia. I'm willing to let lloebet off the hook on this one because of his post during the night phase, though. What do you think about this? And fishy like what?
Click to expand...

You don't think someone being successfully bandwagoned when there is literally nothing on them looks even a little bit suspicious? I'm not going to make a guarantee here, but there's a higher chance that mafia were encouraging that bandwagon than discouraging it.

Good plan! Let us ignore a good source of information and instead focus on the small group of people who were correct. Could Seth, Illoebet, myself or anyone else who didn't leap onto that BW be mafia? Shit yeah. It's still too early to absolve anyone of suspicion. I'm not about to disregard the obviously dubious bandwagon from last phase though to look into people. So now you've been schmoozing Alex, perpetuating stupid bandwagons, attacking people for not following along with bad ideas and on top of that you want to push us away from looking into the people who went with the easy BW? Are you intentionally trying to make yourself look scummy? Like, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt because you're always this aggressive and always think that you're right but surely you realise this doesn't look good?

As for Seth, what's suspicious with him isn't so much that he was "sure" of Josh's innocence. I was pretty confident we weren't hitting mafia too (although I'd never have guessed Fool in a million years), so was jd. A touch more suspicious is that normally right now we'd be seeing a lot of aggressive, highly detailed investigative posts from him and for memory he's posted like twice without ever really prodding anyone?

Right now you're my top scum read for sure but I'm willing to concede something does seem off with Seth.
