Deadwood: The Gem Saloon

[livius drusus]

Kick back here with a 50 cent whiskey shot and a whore and discuss the day's happenings. No game playing, though, or you'll find yourself impaled on a rack of antlers faster than you can say cocksucker.

[Smilin]

Let the games begin...

WOOOHOOOO!

[viscousmemories]

Great game OP, liv! :clap:

[Leesifer]

liv, your opening was fucking brilliant!

I'm looking forward to watching this game.

[MonCapitan2002]

The opening was fucking awesome, liv. Did you make those logos?

[Sock Puppet]

You may be too saucy fer yer own good, liv, but I love the way you motherfucking narrate.

[curses]

Love the OP, liv! You should GM for life :giggle:

/me pulls up a bottle of whiskey and sits back to enjoy the ensuing carnage.

[Smilin]

"Mutherfuckin' snakes on a plane"??? :lol:

[livius drusus]

Thanks for the kind words, you cocksuckers. Yes, MonCap, I made the logos.

[cappuccino]

I'm so glad I started watching Deadwood last night otherwise I'd be totally in over my head with the details.

Cocksuckers!

[TomJoe]

Hardly any use of the words cocksucker or fucker in the game thread. I hope the hoopleheads start acting like real hoopleheads. Damn cocksuckers.

[livius drusus]

Yeah! They best get motherfucking and cocksucking or it won't be Deadwood.

[Crumb]

/me looks nervously at the blood stains on the floor...

[viscousmemories]

Hello, Deadwood almost virgin again. :mememe:

Is 'hoople' just short for 'hooplehead', or is a hooplehead a type of hoople? :dopey:

[Smilin]

/me thinks...we have to suck cocks? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:d

[Crumb]

* Smilin thinks...we have to suck cocks? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you're ok with the motherfucking? :scratch:

[livius drusus]

Is 'hoople' just short for 'hooplehead', or is a hooplehead a type of hoople? :dopey:

Hoople is just short for hooplehead, ya hoople.

[Sock Puppet]

Quick clarification on the rules: How many times do we have to say "motherfucking" per post, and is there a difference in exchange rate with "cocksucker"? And do we get extra for motherfucking cocksucker?

[TomJoe]

If you're Jane, every other word should be cocksucker or fucker or motherfucking cocksucker.

For everyone else, using cocksucker should at least be once per post.

[viscousmemories]

The hoople bit is confusing me 'cause everyone seems to expect everyone else to be "acting like hoopleheads" with the motherfucks and cocksuckers in the game thread, but as I understand it there are only three hoopleheads. So are we all expected to pretend we're hoopleheads?

[wei yau]

Raise your glass to Ellsworth, cocksuckers. Wherever he is, may he still be beholden to no one:


I'll tell you what. I may a fucked my life up flatter than hammered shit, but I stand here before you today beholden to no human cocksucker. And workin' a payin' fuckin' gold claim. And not the U.S. government sayin' I'm tresspassin' or the savage fuckin' red man himself or any of these limber dick cocksuckers passin' themselves off as prospectors had better try and stop me.

[Leesifer]

Lotsa votin' going on with you cocksuckers already.

I like it!

[Joshua Adams]

The hoople bit is confusing me 'cause everyone seems to expect everyone else to be "acting like hoopleheads" with the motherfucks and cocksuckers in the game thread, but as I understand it there are only three hoopleheads. So are we all expected to pretend we're hoopleheads?Well, there are apparently three "respectable townies" which you might also pretend to be. I don't know where in the source material this idea came from, though...

[Smilin]

and what is the purpose behind the Hoopleheads administiring beatings?

It's not like any information is obtained from this act is it?

[MonCapitan2002]

I think liv just likes the words motherfucker and cocksucker you motherfucking, fistfucking, cocksuckers!

[MonCapitan2002]

and what is the purpose behind the Hoopleheads administiring beatings?

It's not like any information is obtained from this act is it?
It is to mask the beatings made by the cop.

[livius drusus]

Everyone in Deadwood let's loose with the motherfucks and cocksucks, even the respectable types. There's only one person who doesn't cuss on account of her refined upbringing -- Alma Ellsworth -- and she doesn't have a part in this game.

Acting like a hoople means drunken fisticuffs, vm, not just run-of-the-mill abusive profanity.

[Crumb]

It is to cover up the actions of the sheriff who also administers beatings.

[MonCapitan2002]

and what is the purpose behind the Hoopleheads administiring beatings?

It's not like any information is obtained from this act is it?
It is to mask the beatings made by the cop.
I already explained that Crump.

[thegoldglove07]

TGG is here to win...hehe :yup:

[Crumb]

We crossposted.

[thegoldglove07]

Hello, Crumb. :mischief:

[Smilin]

He's got an evil grin on his face crumb...

You'd better be clinching your butt cheeks,,,else you're fucked! :D

[thegoldglove07]

I wouldn't do that. I am a nice guy. :D

[Crumb]

:chuckle: This is all kinds of awkward.

/me 's gonna watch his mouth now. :censored:

[wei yau]

/me gestures at TGG and Crumb

I take it you two hooples are acquainted with one another?

[thegoldglove07]

No need for it, Crumb. I'm a big boy...haha

Yes, I know Crumb. :darn:

[Crumb]

Yes, us two hoopleheads know each other all to well. :giggles:

[RandomThoughts]

* wei yau gestures at TGG and Crumb

I take it you two hooples are acquainted with one another?

who'd ya say ya took? :yum:

[thegoldglove07]

Yes, us two hoopleheads know each other all to well. :giggles:

True. I seem to have known this strange fella my entire life. Not sure why though...:chemstudy:

[Joshua Adams]

f it's idle banter and commentaries you're prospecting for, The Gem Saloon awaits you on the main thoroughfare, with comely whores, decently priced liquor and the squarest games of chance in the hills.

Kick back here with a 50 cent whiskey shot and a whore and discuss the day's happenings. No game playing, though, or you'll find yourself impaled on a rack of antlers faster than you can say cocksucker.

:glare:

[Smilin]

cheatin' mutherfuckin cocksuckers!

[livius drusus]

There are games and there are games. Oh, and don’t :glare: at me in my own fucking place.

:glare:

[wei yau]

Hey! What's a man gotta do to get a drink and some fucking pancakes in this place?!

[livius drusus]

Show some coin and wait for the gimp.

[wei yau]

The gimp? Every step, a fucking adventure.

[livius drusus]

Prefuckingcisely, my celestial friend.

[wei yau]

Well, here's my dollar and tell the gimp I just want the fucking pancakes. Don't want none of that fucking bacon. I know my Uncle Wu.

As an aside, I always thought that Joanie should have opened a restaurant after Wollcott's rampage. That was, of course, before Aunt Lous arrived. But, I'd have sooner eat my own horse than whatever it was E.B. and Richardson served.

[Adam]

Beautiful opening, liv, and nice work on the custom text banners.

/me knows nothgin about Deadwood and hopes to cover that fact by throwing a liot of motherfuckers and cocksuckers into his motherfucking posts.

[wei yau]

Yeah, that's about the whole of it, Adam. Also, try not to bathe so often. Oh and don't eat pork.

[Smilin]

Why pork? Are there Jewish mutherfuckers in deadwood?

It's what I've basically been doing Adam. Falling back on my military service in the Navy is what I've been relying on. I've never seen the show yet either, but I can cuss with the best of any mutherfuckin cocksucker around these parts. :)

[wei yau]

Why pork? Not cause of the Jews, the only one I know of is Sol and he's got his head so far up Trixie's cunt that he don't know if he's coming or, well coming.

I'm advising to stay away from the pork because...well, let's just say that some that die end up the grave and others end up making fat and happy pigs in the sty.

[livius drusus]

Did everyone see I bowed to the inevitable and embraced y'all's irredeemable fucking hoopleness?

[Sock Puppet]

It just makes sense. It's not like anybody here wants to be respectable.

[Joshua Adams]

There are games and there are games. Oh, and don’t :glare: at me in my own fucking place.

:glare:Like shit this is your own fucking place. Unless you happen to have assumed the moniker "Al Swearengen." You sure you ain't one of the whores done escaped from the back room?

Due to the absence of a craps table as deceptively advertised, I believe I will be getting my booze and snatch from Mr. Tolliver o'er at the Belle, from here on out.

/me spits on the floor.

[livius drusus]

It just makes sense. It's not like anybody here wants to be respectable.
Especially not that Joshua motherfucking Adams hoople bastard.

[godfry n. glad]

Hey... If everybody in Deadwood is a hoople, can I be Mott?

[Sock Puppet]

godfry, you cocksucker. I was hoping to get in the first Mott The Hoople reference. :shakefist:

[livius drusus]

Who the fuck is Mott the Hoople?

[Sock Puppet]

Mott the Hoople (http://www.amazon.com/Mott-the-Hoople/artist/B000AQ307O/104-7808948-3031912) (sorry, Amazon is just the easiest way to get a link on washed-up old rock bands.)

[livius drusus]

As mentioned in the original sign up thread (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=270585#post270585), we need a replacement player. If anyone wants in on the cocksucking good times, please speak up.

[godfry n. glad]

Hmmm....It seems to me that liv has taken on the role of "Fortuna", that goddess of Roman heritage who has come to be known colloquially in the English speaking world as "Lady Luck."

[MonCapitan2002]

If this game were being played over at RPGamer there's be so many asterisked posts, that it would boggle the mind.

[Dingfod]

Mott the Hoople (http://www.amazon.com/Mott-the-Hoople/artist/B000AQ307O/104-7808948-3031912) (sorry, Amazon is just the easiest way to get a link on washed-up old rock bands.)That fucking musical bunch of cocksuckers got their fucking name from a novel by Willard Manus, (http://www.hunter-mott.com/books/mott_the_hoople.html) a story of a fucking misfit that fucking joins a circus of freaks. Like there aren't enough fucking freaks around this drinking and fucking emporium.

[viscousmemories]

Mr. Dingfod! Are you here to fill beyelzu's shoes with a real hoople?

[Joshua Adams]

I was wondering how he could possibly miss out on this thing. Do it!

[MonCapitan2002]

Yes. Join us Dingfod. Take Beyelzu's place among the Hoopleheads.

[Crumb]

You know you want to, Ding.

[livius drusus]

I can't believe he just walked away. :sadno: Oh well, motherfuck the bastard. Leesifer's in now. :pleased:

[Smilin]

Dingfuck!

You bastard mutherfucker!

Got sand in your vagina or what?

[Crumb]

Cool. :thankee: Lees! :leeshug:

[Dingfod]

Dingfuck!

You bastard mutherfucker!

Got sand in your vagina or what?No, I lack fuckin' sand, that's the fuckin' problem. That, and time, a fuckin' commodity that is irregular in fuckin' occurrence and in short fuckin' supply. You fuckin' cocksuckers have a fuckin' problem with that?

[Smilin]

no time to fuck eh?

I can relate to that problem. :)

[MonCapitan2002]

I have b een having fun with this game. It's only been about a day since it started and I am already having more fun than with Mafia III. The other game did get a lot more interesting towards the end, though.

[wei yau]

/me sighs

I appreciate the lack of time, hing-dai. It's a shame, because I think you'd got the language pretty much down pat.

Anyhoo, welcome to fucking Deadwood, skunk-gwai.

[livius drusus]

It can be combative.

[wei yau]

Thanks for the latest "Word of God", liv. Man, I thought listening to Deadwood-dialogue was hard enough, it's equally fucking hard to write it well.

It's not just the cussin', there's a rhythm to the speech that I can hear but can't play. Also, there's a vocabulary that is just so, I don't know, elegantly simple that I can't quite grasp.

All this just makes me appreciate your skillz, liv.

[MonCapitan2002]

Well liv is God. She should have skillz.

[beyelzu]

best line so far imho

Yeah? Well, your plug-ugly pigshit mug didn't make it any brighter.


mad props godfry

[beyelzu]

You may be too saucy fer yer own good, liv, but I love the way you motherfucking narrate.
or in deadwoodian

liv, i dont trust ya as far as i can throw ya, but goddamn, i like the way you narrate, you heavy thumbed motherfucker.



great op by the way liv, definitely capturing the feel. and loved the role explanations as well.


awesome, liv.

[beyelzu]

wei yau, your posts actually do capture the deadwood spirit. and i love reading all the deadwood knowledge that permeates your posts.

fuck, i wish i was playing.

:tmgrin:

[beyelzu]

also great post, ja.


very fucking nice.

[livius drusus]

Thanks, bey. I was worried it wouldn't live up to your expectations. :thankee:

[beyelzu]

i dont know why you would be worried, the posts you have made are just brilliant.

[thegoldglove07]

Damn, you people. I know it was one of youuou. I knowew taht ti wass onee offfffff youuu. I'll bea watchhhinjg. :drunk4:

[wei yau]

When I lay my head down to sleep tonight, I'll recall these words of praise of yours bey and I'll fall aslumber content in the knowledge that I've elicited such complimentary words from such an esteemed and well-respected cocksucker like yourself. And should I expire before I am once more kissed by the rising sun, I shall march straight to St. Peter or whichever fucking angel is standing guard at the Gates of Heaven upon my arrival and I shall point down towards you and proclaim my desire to be your fucking guardian angel. Because any man who is astute enough to recognize my innate speechifying talents is a man worth protecting from any limp dicked cocksuckers who might not appreciate your intellect.

However, until that blessed day arrives, I can do little more than give you my fucking thanks and order up a whisky and a fuck for you on my tab.

liv, make sure your barkeep and your whores know that tonight, bey's money ain't no fucking good.

[livius drusus]

Aww... Ain't that a pretty picture? Ever so often there's a love match.

[wei yau]

liv, you might find that you pour a bit faster if you kept your lips from flappin'

[Smilin]

Well I died. :woopdedo:

Woopde fuckin do!

Great going you fuckin' cocksuckers!

[viscousmemories]

Great write-up, liv! :giggle:

Sorry 'bout the killin', hooplehead. Guess you just spit in one too many beers.

[wei yau]

Not an atypical result for Day 1. Let's just hope the final outcome is atypical.

[Smilin]

My money's on the Pinkertons, there Wei. ;)

[Sock Puppet]

best line so far imho

Yeah? Well, your plug-ugly pigshit mug didn't make it any brighter.


mad props godfry
Brightened my day, too. :D

I ain't been around, but at least I just missed the noose's maiden voyage. Yesterday was my alleged day off, and I wasn't anywhere near my computer. I'm only on to get caught up, and then I'm off again. I'll find a cocksucker to vote for later, when the thread's open.

[Nightson]

"Nightson, mightn't it be better to wait so that Bullock can give Swearengen a list of confirmed Pinkerton cocksuckers, or at least a list of fine citizens who ought be left in peace? I don't see how they can form a "strategy" at this junction. I am pretty sure that there is only one PM, from B to S, and not an indefinite exchange on one occasion. 'Course, that there deity might be able to clear the matter if she be so inclined."
~JA

Obviously yes they get more than one PM as mentioned. But by communicating now they can set up a sytem for communicating inside the game about their targets for the night and the results they get.

[godfry n. glad]

:wish:

[Adam]

Obviously yes they get more than one PM as mentioned. But by communicating now they can set up a sytem for communicating inside the game about their targets for the night and the results they get.

Is that legal?

[Nightson]

Obviously yes they get more than one PM as mentioned. But by communicating now they can set up a sytem for communicating inside the game about their targets for the night and the results they get.

Is that legal?

Don't see why not. It's like if Bullock told Swearnagen hat if he found out a Pinkerton he'd say caboose when he replied to that person. Which is the dangerous part of the code, as it's in the open, if the mafia look closly they'll be able to see it and possibly elminate both characters. That's why the two characters would have to work out a very discrete system.

[MonCapitan2002]

Liv has stated that there is only one PM allowed between Bullock and Swearnagen. Since she is God her word is law.

[livius drusus]

No sir. I stated that there is only one exchange allowed between Bulock and Swearengen.

[beyelzu]

damn great post liv.

damn im surprised adam was the sheriff and i kind of wonder what he said to make the hearst cocksuckers kill him.

fuckin a

as an aside, for dclarification. the doc can protect against the dan kill??

[livius drusus]

Yup. Whoever doc protects survives the night.

[Adam]

Damn. Now I get to watch the rest of the game on the edge fo my seat and wait until it's al over so I can ask them Pinkerton sons o' bitches what I did to give myself away.

[livius drusus]

I blame Spider.

[cappuccino]

More likely it was a revenge kill and they got damn lucky they got the sheriff.

[Crumb]

I bet it was just their good luck, Adam. Damn shame though.

[beyelzu]

hypothetically with the doc in play and utter having only one view. he can out today. he will have the knowledge of bullock's beating and will be able to get one more. cuz he can be protected by the doc.

[beyelzu]

the benefits is limiting the pool of suspects for who is a pinkerton by a couple of people. ultimately 3

[beyelzu]

and of course everyone should think about it and discuss it in the game thread.

[MonCapitan2002]

hypothetically with the doc in play and utter having only one view. he can out today. he will have the knowledge of bullock's beating and will be able to get one more. cuz he can be protected by the doc.
He only has Bullock's knowledge if Bullock shared it with him. If he didnt then, Utter would lack that knowledge.

[MonCapitan2002]

I would also like to compliment God on her work with the graphical text. They are certainly quite spiff.

[Smilin]

Yep!

Great graphics liv..errrr...God!

(or is that goddess?)

[livius drusus]

Thank you kindly gents.

He only has Bullock's knowledge if Bullock shared it with him. If he didnt then, Utter would lack that knowledge.

Not quite. Bullock and Utter were never allowed to communicate directly. At Bullock's passing, any information he might have divined would have been transmitted to Utter via divine intervention.

[MonCapitan2002]

Ahh. I see.

[Crumb]

Oh cool I didn't know that. So Utter has one view and will get one more.

[Leesifer]

I would also like to compliment God on her work with the graphical text. They are certainly quite spiff.

They are a work of art and so is the narrative! If any of you cocksuckers wish to say otherwise then meet me out back in five minutes. Once I've downed this whiskey.

[MonCapitan2002]

Are you threataning us with violence?

[wei yau]

liv's narratives are works of art, indeed. Anyone who doubts me sucks cock by choice.

[Leesifer]

Are you threataning us with violence?

Well I was but none of you cowards turned up.

All afraid of a girlie, huh?

[Sock Puppet]

Sorry, I was too busy drinking to notice you waving your cock around, Lees.

[Leesifer]

And I only do that on special occasions too, Sock.

[wei yau]

Anyone else read "CocksuckerY" as "cocksuckery". I'm just trying to figure out if that's an adverb or a noun.

[Crumb]

I don't know why we put up with your cocksuckery, wei yau. :rolleyes:

[wei yau]

Ha! There was nothing quotable in my previous post. Without the context of the game, that quote would be meaningless!

[Crumb]

Anyone else read "Cock..." as "...suck..."[,] I'm trying...

I think that would work pretty good.

[godfry n. glad]

liv-

Is there a town clock?

[livius drusus]

Is there a town clock?
Hmm... Not a bad idea.

[beyelzu]

alright again as an aside guys.

utter has bullocks view and he will have his own tonight. he should out today. he is only going to get the one view anyway. and he can clear three people. himself, and his two views. i think he should out today to take himself out of the running for the lynch. limits the field of suspects. he gets protected today and he can communicate with the vigi tonight as to the other innocent. tomorrow 3 people will be clear most likely and utter will know a fourth clear the vigi. this certainly narrows the field nicely of suspects and it will take several days for the pinkertons to kill off that many people.

and no one seems to really be discussing it much in the game thread, but yall should.

it doesnt seem likely that the bullock was the swearengen kill, it seem likely that adam being adam made contact last night. i certainly hope he did anyway. and of course the cochran can stand in the way of dan.

[Leesifer]

ACCOUNCEMENT

As he is back online, bey will now be taking over again.

:cheer: go bey :cheer:

[livius drusus]

Thanks for letting me know. :glare:

[Leesifer]

:gromp:

He pm'd me this morning to ask if it was OK.

[livius drusus]

Well, that's nice and all, but determining player replacements is not actually up the players themselves, you know. :unpoke:

Anyway, as long as he shows up this morning to play, I'm okay with the change.

[Leesifer]

I'm sorry liv, I didn't even think about that. I should've pm'd you instead.

[Crumb]

Thanks for letting me know. :glare:
Aren't you supposed to be omniscient? :eyebrow2:

[Sock Puppet]

I hope all of you scums & specials say your fuckin' prayers to liv quick-like, so I can play this damned game today. Unless one of you cocksuckers kills me.

(Note - not gameplay; all of the above sentiments could be stated by anyone in the motherfucking game, including the shit about getting killed.)

[godfry n. glad]

Wait a second!

I don't think there's enough votes for vm yet. It takes seven and I think he's only got five.

The time has not yet run out.

Please prove otherwise.

NM.... I missed Crumb's vote. There are seven. It is nightfall.

[Joshua Adams]

Phew... this night may take awhile, I have to really think about this investigation, and probably discuss it with Swearengen. Sorry for any hold up.

[godfry n. glad]

I'm still waiting for the narrative on nightfall. Then the fun can begin and I can relax for a bit.

[Sock Puppet]

There it is. :wriggle:

[viscousmemories]

I hope you all die.

[Sock Puppet]

We all will, cocksucker. It's just a question of when.

Nice try on the "townie" play.

[Adam]

Beautiful bookened scene, as always, liv.

vm, now that nightfall is here, I can finaly say: nyah nyah nyah! :tmspider:

[viscousmemories]

:D

[Crumb]

Damn we were rough on you, vm.

[wei yau]

Yikes! What an interesting post to read right after having had lunch. That was a horrible way to go. Nice work, liv!

[beyelzu]

alright im all online, liv, i wanted to check with lees first before approaching you. hope you are ok with the switch.

as an aside i totally called vm as suspicious for not being vmesque enough here in this very thread

anyway ifn the switch is ok with you liv im totally ready to play this game. im working during the day but have plenty of time to post in the evenings.

[livius drusus]

Okay, bey, but this is it.

[beyelzu]

nm

[beyelzu]

Well, that's nice and all, but determining player replacements is not actually up the players themselves, you know. :unpoke:

Anyway, as long as he shows up this morning to play, I'm okay with the change.
sorry liv, i didnt realize that lees would show up and agree and quit, waiting for me. and again im sorry you werent informed earlier, i also didnt realize that we were cruising for nightfall at noon.

should have, but didnt. anyway. sorry.

[livius drusus]

It's okay, really. It's good to have you back in the game, what with it being your idea and all. :)

[wei yau]

/me offers to buy a shot for both bey and liv

Eep, I just noticed there was almost 24 hours between the previous end o the day and daybreak.

Liv, is there a set time for night or is it based on when everyone gets their choices in?

[livius drusus]

Last time I intentionally waited until noon so nightfall would also be at noon, but I'm not doing that this time. Noon isn't particularly convenient, I found. Anyhoo, I'm writing it up now.

[Nightson]

/me celebrates unless he's dead

[MonCapitan2002]

Huzzah! We got one of them Pinkerton cocksuckers! One down two cocksuckers to go!

[trillian]

Once again liv makes me impatiently wait more than an hour for her fantabulous write up. :hairpull: At least these are not 24 hour nights as I was beginning to think.

But I thought I'd post because whenever I do, the write up miraculously materializes.

eta: Didn't work! :sadcheer:

[MonCapitan2002]

Maybe liv times her write ups to your postings here.

[livius drusus]

Um no. If I could time anything I wrote, I'd get paid for that shit.

[Nightson]

Damn, at least we didn't lost the main doc.

[MonCapitan2002]

Um no. If I could time anything I wrote, I'd get paid for that shit.
Well you did post the write up shortly after trillian posted. She might be on to something.

Well that sucks cock for sure you cocksucker. At least I might have beaten one of you bastards.

And if it was the vigilante killing me, then it must mean that there are no reading glasses yet available in Deadwood for your sight impairment.

[Adam]

Man, this is the first time I've been eliminated early. Can I just say how frustrating it is to watch but not be able to say anything? :tmspider:

Edit: Is it me, or are the Pinkertons playing a strange game, eliminating trillian and me, both of who can usually be counted upon to garner suspicion merely by acting like ourselves?

[MonCapitan2002]

I don't know what they were thinking either. I do know that I will miss your insight and feedback.

being dead early does suck, indeed. the pinkertons are playing a strange, strange game.

hey why did you investigate vm the first night?

Well, son of a fucking bitch... I can't seem to stay in this game for more'n two days.

I gotta learn me to keep my fuckin' pie-hole shut.

[wei yau]

You'll be missed, godfry. I really appreciated how you got into the role and your posts were wonderfully Deadwoodian.

[godfry n. glad]

Why, thank you, wei. Considering I've never seen the show, that's a compliment. I did read the site, though.

I was a passable Calamity Jane?

I'm assuming I was done in by the Pinkertons. I think I quite possibly stepped on some toes.

I called out that Frenchie cocksucker and he never responded. He probably doesn't even realize he's a Frenchie cocksucker. Passing hissef off as some kind of officer. Sheeeee-it. If he was ever in the military, it was as some quartermaster way behind the fuckin' lines, probably skimming the stores. Or, he bolted and came here to Deadwood to escape having to do his mutherfuckin' duty. That's that Mon Cap-i-tan.

Don't the Pinkertons hire ex-military types?

Well... It was fun while it lasted.

Fuck... I'll have a bottle of that nasty shit you call whiskey. Save yourself the stinkin' glass, though. If'n you want any of my whiskey, you'll have to fuckin' put up with my cooties....

[wei yau]

You were more than just passable as Calamity Jane. Personally, I thought to twigged onto the fact that Deadwood-speak was more than just liberal sprinkling of "cocksucker" and "motherfuck".

[godfry n. glad]

Huh?

[Joshua Adams]

godfry, I mentioned in the thread who killed you, seeing as Swearengen told me who was gonna get it from him.

[Crumb]

You were a great Calamity Jane godfry. Sorry we let them get you.

[wei yau]

I meant:

'I thought you twigged onto the fact that Deadwood-speak"

[godfry n. glad]

Well, great goddamn mutherfuckin' sonufabitch. That piece of shit Swearengen had me done in by his personal cocksucker? What the fuck did he expect he'd get outta that? That he could be the best fuckin' swearer in the goddamned camp?

Fucker can't stand up to real challenges, so he has his dick-lickin' lapdog sneak up from fuckin' behind! What a fuckin' lame-assed stunt! Sheeee-it, boys and girls, any mutherfuckin' retard coulda done that. He didn't even give me a chance to kick him in the fuckin' nuts as a final sendoff love tap.

All well...a pine box and six feet of fuckin' dirt for Calamity. Suckin' fuckin' dirt the second goddamn day.

[wei yau]

You probably confused him by acting like Calamity Jane while sporting a full-on beard. Jane might not be the handsomest woman in Deadwood, but she knows enough to shave.

[godfry n. glad]

I meant:

'I thought you twigged onto the fact that Deadwood-speak"

My father was in the construction business all his life. Construction workers are boom town migrants, following the "big jobs". Hooples. And they talk pretty much like that. Fewer "cocksuckers", more "SOBs" and "bastards". "Stupid son of a bitch" was usually the site leader's name, or the contractor. During his career, about the time I turned four, he became a construction inspector for an architectural firm....he became what he called "a spheroid son of a bitch", the wrench in the works for either end, architect or contractor. He had the authority to make sure the contractor met the architect's specs, or if it couldn't be done and a change order was necessary, he would be capable of explaining the contractor's position to the architect.

Anyway, I grew up with this stuff.

[godfry n. glad]

I'll pipe in on the online problems with ff. I kept getting messages that it'd timed out trying to connect. Then, when I did post, I'd get double posts when there was no good dognamed reason for it.

:glare:

Ah, well... I watch from the sidelines now. It seems the camp has a temporary leader in Joshua. Doc can't protect him tonight, too, can he? Anything he finds out tonight doesn't come back to the camp.

[wei yau]

If I'm not mistaken, Joshua gets only one beatdown, which he used last night.

[Joshua Adams]

I can't find out anything anymore, I only get the one view. The doc may be able to protect me tonight, since there's no guarantee that he protected me last night.

[godfry n. glad]

ah...I see.

I forget...are the vigilante, and Swearengen, separate and discrete entities in this game? Can they be taken out?

The reason I ask is that I've kinda considered hanging back to be a "tell", I guess, that the player is trying to stay out of the way...has reasons to not want to attract any attention. But then, camp specials, like Bullock, Utter, Doc, and Calamity Jane, have reasons to go the fairly low profile route, too.

I do think that the timed sessions helps the bad guys (Pinkertons, here), because they can actually sit back and be totally non-committal and let the hooples/townies do all the work. Time works for the townies, not for the pinkos.

I still think "Molehunt", a spy versus spy game, would be an appropriate adaptation of this game.

[Joshua Adams]

Swearengen functions as the vigilante. For narrative purposes, Swearengen sends his bulldog Dan Dority to do the deed, but there's no person with that role in the game.

[Sock Puppet]

But then, camp specials, like Bullock, Utter, Doc, and Calamity Jane, have reasons to go the fairly low profile route, too.That's the hell of it. It's not good enough to know somebody's hiding something. You have to have some idea of what they're hiding, which is a fair sight tougher.

[Adam]

hey why did you investigate vm the first night?

What is this, a seance? :tmgrin:

Sorry, I feel like giving out my reasoning would count as Playing While Dead. It's killing me, too, cause there are a bunch of questions I want to ask JA and Swearengen, but I don't want to unintentionally influence the outcome, or accidentally out Swearengen.

[godfry n. glad]

We're the ghosts of hooples gone past. I don't think you should reveal anything, especially any specials you might know of. My suspicions are just that...nothing but suspicions.

[beyelzu]

i was just curious, cuz i told lees that vm was my only real suspect in this thread, i believe.

and was just wondering how we arrived at similar conclusions.

but you will be sure to tell me after the game right?

[Nightson]

or accidentally out Swearengen.

Don't have to worry abou that now. :D

Did you guess right?

[Crumb]

Oh whoa. I didn't know we were that close.

[Joshua Adams]

I didn't realize until the last second that only 5 votes were needed... Oh well, it's not like anything he would have said would have swayed us.

[thegoldglove07]

Now do you still think I'm a pinkerton?

[cappuccino]

Thank God for explaining her decisions to us lowly mere mortals. I was so confused for the longest time these past several pages of the gameplay. For some reason I had my mind completely stuck on the trillian thing. At least we got it cleared up on the subtleties of violent hooples replenishment.

[godfry n. glad]

I think wei is the other Pinkerton.

[Joshua Adams]

Now do you still think I'm a pinkerton?
Nothing has happened yet that could change that. I assume Nightson is going to kill you or Crumb tonight so we'll know who is the real doctor by tomorrow.

[Nightson]

Well the only thing that will change anything is if he comes up doctor in which case crumb will be getting the sweet vig kill instead of tgg.

[cappuccino]

No matter godfry, there's more than enough of us to deal with wei next day if necessary.

[thegoldglove07]

I think wei is the other Pinkerton.

As do I. It seems as though she did too much talking.

[thegoldglove07]

Now do you still think I'm a pinkerton?

Nightson is killing the doctor?

[cappuccino]

Psst goldglove, wei is quite masculine. No, crumb's claimed he's the doctor, if MonCap turns out to be the doctor, then Crumb's getting the vig kill, instead of you. If MonCap's Pinkerton, then I'm afraid you're dying by Nighton's hand, assuming he decides to do so.

[Joshua Adams]

Wei is male (as is everyone else who took part in this game except for livius drusus, trillian, and Leesifer).

[godfry n. glad]

Wait...wait...there's two claimants to be the Doc?

[cappuccino]

No, Crumb's the only one who's claimed to be the doctor, but hypothetically if MonCap turns out to be the real doctor, then Crumb's going to die tonight.

[Joshua Adams]

Nightson is killing the doctor?Not on purpose. You and Crumb both claim to be the doctor, so one of you must be lying about it. Nightson will kill one of you and then we will know for sure which one is lying. Hopefully he won't kill the actual doctor but the imposter, but it's not that big a deal if he does kill the doctor by accident.

[Nightson]

Wait...wait...there's two claimants to be the Doc?

No, but MonCap never got the chance to claim, if Liv's write up reveals him to have been the doc, then crumb would get killed.

[thegoldglove07]

Psst goldglove, wei is quite masculine. No, crumb's claimed he's the doctor, if MonCap turns out to be the doctor, then Crumb's getting the vig kill, instead of you. If MonCap's Pinkerton, then I'm afraid you're dying by Nighton's hand, assuming he decides to do so.

Damn, well, I honestly believe that Crumb is the doctor, so I guess I'll say bye now. :wave:

[Joshua Adams]

Why did you edit out your doctor claim, thegoldglove?

[livius drusus]

This is reading like a continuation of the game to me. Take it down a notch please, and don't bring accusations made in here into the game.

[thegoldglove07]

Why did you edit out your doctor claim, thegoldglove?

I had a short memory loss.

[godfry n. glad]

Yeah... When I read it, TGG claimed to be a hoople....not the doctor.

[thegoldglove07]

I am a hoople.

[livius drusus]

Enough, please. You can't pick up discussion here where you left off in the game thread. What's done is done and night has fallen.

On to more generic conversations.

[Joshua Adams]

So, why hasn't the Pioneer published the ballgame scores for the past few issues?

[thegoldglove07]

Alright. I apologize. Crumb, we need to talk about weekend plans.

[cappuccino]

What's everybody having for dinner tonight?

[cappuccino]

I almost feel sorry for MonCap, he's going to have a nice surprise waiting for him when he gets back online.

[Joshua Adams]

I think we can go ahead and declare the first town victory on :ff: ahead of time.

[Crumb]

I wouldn't do that yet.

[Joshua Adams]

I am not saying it is over tonight, but it seems exceedingly likely we will win one way or the other.

[godfry n. glad]

I knew that Frenchie fucker was acting too gawddamned weird to be a hoople. That's two down...or up, rather.

[Crumb]

It certainly looks very good.

[viscousmemories]

What's everybody having for dinner tonight?
I made and ate a 12" ham and pineapple pizza and a Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. :burp:

[thegoldglove07]

MC, was a pinkerton. I knew I was correct.

[Adam]

OK, I think we've moved past the point where my suspicions from day 1 can impact anything.

bey, I beat a confession out of vm because he was just too insistent that he had reasons for wanting to hasten Smilin's trip to the gallows on day 1.

Incidentally, my other suspects were capp, MonCap, and Crumb, in roughly that order. MonCap, as others have noted, wasn't really acting like himself, and all three of them sort of tripped my suspicion based on their interactions with vm. It didn't help their standing in my mind that all of them made contentless "oh noes, the sheriff is dead" posts after I was taken out. Joshua made the same choice for the second knuckle induced confession that I most likely would have, based on my thinking after Day 1.

Nightson, I felt kind of dumb, b/c I'd considered contacting you on the first night and setting up a code even before you mentioned it, but I wasn't sure if it was within the spirit of the rules or not. I guess my not doing so worked out better anyway, given that that card remained for Joshua to play on night 2.

Btw, JA and Nightson, it probably looked different to someone who didn't know both your identities, but I about crapped myself when the two of you started chatting about how the sheriff and Swearengen should interact on Day 1. I was sure one of you was going to get it on night 1, but I was apparently wrong. Which raises the last question I wanted to ask...vm, MonCap, why me? Did I leave a tell, or was it just dumb luck that you got Bullock on night 1? JA, you said you saw something that could have been a tell, right?

At any rate, great job, town! The role claim was brilliantly timed.

[Joshua Adams]

I thought your asking Nightson "is that legal?" was like a neon sign. I didn't actually realize that Nightson was Swearengen though, so perhaps I only noticed your tell because I already knew you were Bullock, as I said. That's not to say a more astute Pinkerton couldn't have noticed either. I mentioned this to Nightson in our PM and told him I expected him to get it that night based on the same exchange.

Did you have my identity at the start? edit: oh, guess so, I can't read.

By the way, the big reason I chose capp was because I didn't want that WIFOM cloud hanging over the town from vm's vote, not because of anything specific he did on day 1.

[Adam]

Yep, I knew who you and Nightson were.

[godfry n. glad]

Did you have my identity at the start?

You didn't have the sherriff's real identity?

That's curious, because as Calamity Jane, I had one person's identity...the Doctor.

[Joshua Adams]

I knew that Adam was the sheriff, but I was asking whether he knew who I was.

[Nightson]

I kinda wondered if JA might be the sheriff, but I didn't pick up on anything from Adam.

I also thought up the whole code thing as soon as it was revealed as a game mechanic :blushes:

I was hoping that a lot more people would latch on and discuss it, that way I and the cops could blend in.

[thegoldglove07]

Did you have my identity at the start?

You didn't have the sherriff's real identity?

That's curious, because as Calamity Jane, I had one person's identity...the Doctor.

Damn. That explains alot now...

[wei yau]

Another great write-up liv, this game has been made so much more interesting and enjoyable due in no small part to your literary skillz.

[livius drusus]

:sheepish:

[Sock Puppet]

I am so fucking excited about the town win that I can practically taste at this point. Someday, I'm finally going to be scum, and if there's an unbroken history of scum wins, it wouldn't look like any sort of challenge.

And I second, third, fourth, whatever, on liv's write-ups. All of the :ff:'s games have had great narration, but this one raises the bar fuckin' considerably.

[beyelzu]

i agree, having been successful scum, i really wanted to be a successful townie. and actually help the town towards victory.

[MonCapitan2002]

I fucking hate you all. I got lynched! :sadcheer: Once the game is over, I shall explain our reasoning. I will say one thing, though. You were not my first choice. I shall explain further when the game is over.

[viscousmemories]

Well I may be dead, but I'm nowhere near ready to concede defeat. Mark my words: My family will rule the day.

[MonCapitan2002]

I am not conceding defeat either. I am merely stating that I will explain our logic once it is over. I do think we might have made some tactical errors, though. I noticed that I was acting differently as well. I hope that I get to be scum again, though. Even though I got lynched I had a lot more fun being a bad guy then an innocent townie. I wonder if that says anything about me.

[beyelzu]

uh, dude, there is only one person left in your family.

the town leads right now 7-1 after tonight we will either have victory or be up5-1, so yeah, the town is all but victorious and hearst is kicked out like the miserable cocksucker he is.

[MonCapitan2002]

That is what you think. Don't be so overconfident. Things may look bad for us, but it isn't over until God make a post telling us who won.

[Nightson]

Heh, we got this one in the bag, I'm going overconfident all the way. :yup:

[cappuccino]

We have every reason to be confident. All the puzzle pieces have fallen into their logical order. There are only two possible choices to who's the remaining Pinkerton. :yup:

[beyelzu]

whatever, i dont see how the town cant win from here.

dont be a sore loser, just lose. :tmgrin:

[Nightson]

And even if it isn't one of the two logical choices, I can't come up with a scenario that doesn't have to confirmeds and one uncomfirmed in the endgame. (Well, unless I die tonight)

[MonCapitan2002]

I am not sore at all. If you guys win it will be well deserved and I will gladly congratulate you then. However, the game is not over and won't be until God says it is.
