The Crazed Spruce March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 Once HM posted about his wash bucket I came out and declared him trustworthy until proven otherwise... Yet you kept your DL on him open, OB. So to be clear, you didn't let him off the hook. I also think it's interesting that you put CP on your trust list for starting a DL, but I'm not trusted even though I also started a DL *and* have alluded to my extremely fun character at least a half dozen times. Also, why do you know Jesse and she seems to have no idea who you are? Something ain't right with OB, Jambi. I dunno. As of right now, I completely trust Jesse, and she says she's a mason pair with Oinky, which is more than good enough for me. 3 Link to comment

Drogo March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 So either you're a Villain and so is she, or you know things. I am willing to trust Spruce and OB until further notice. You know who I'm not trusting as much? The SilverStormm. Because she doesn't trust any of us, but she knows I only put forth this Bard-level commitment when I'm being forthcoming. 3 Link to comment
halgia March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 (edited) ^ And saying that doesn't target you? (Edit: in reference to Spruce, Drogo posted while I was typing up the rest of this.) I agree that Janus seems clue-ish. From his wiki page: Janus as god of all beginnings presides also over that of war and is thus often called belliger, bringer of war a feature of the Ianus of the Porta Belli, the double gate ritually opened at the beginning of warsThe character of Drogo has been known to be associated with war. Also, he and Dany's pet names for each other are "sun and stars" and "moon of my life", both of which Janus is associated with:identifying him with light[15] the sun,[16] the moon,[17] [...] Edited March 13, 2016 by Dougal 2 Link to comment

Also, he and Dany's pet names for each other are "sun and stars" and "moon of my life", both of which Janus is associated with: identifying him with light[15] the sun,[16] the moon,[17] [...] Ah, but to continue that quote from Wikipedia, we also get this; time,[18] movement,[19] the year,[20] doorways,[21] bridges[22] etc.) or else see in the god a sort of cosmological principle, interpreting him as a uranic deity.[23] Almost all of these modern explanations were originally formulated by the ancients.[24] What's a 'uranic deity'? Pertaining to the heavens is my best guess, but there's also 'uranic' meaning 'of uranium' and when you look up uranium, the definition is "a chemical element with symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a SILVERy-white metal in the actinide series of the periodic table." See, you can make anything a clue. I'm not advocating for a DL on @SilverStormm AT THIS TIME, but like @Drogo, I've got my eye on her. And given the questionable company I'm forced to keep, as well as the size of the family I have to support, this is a time-consuming and difficult job! And since there is some astronomy tied to Janus, we probably should take a closer look at @aquarian1 and @Firearcher, IMO... 1 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 I, too, trust Jesse. Which means I should trust OB, even though her posts are making me doubt her, but I'll trust for now. The rest I still need to sort out. 2 Link to comment

Drogo March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 Also Drogo why is SilverStormm on your watch list but Athena, who has also said she doesn't trust anyone, isn't?First, I brought up an Athena+Janus statue earlier but no one liked that as a clue.Second, saying I'm not sure about trusting someone yet is very different than saying they're on my watch list. ;) 2 Link to comment

formerlyfreedom March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 The Uranic deity is usually personification of the sky, I doubt that has anything to do with SilverStormm. The main definition of uranic is an adjective that is relating to the celestial once again I doubt this has anything to do with SilverStormm. Which was kind of my point? I'm not using this to start a DL on anyone, just making the point that we can (and we WILL) see clues anywhere, and we can make them fit. I think the last game DEFINITELY proved that! And come to think of it, the Aquarius astrological sign DOES start on January 19. January, the month named after....see where I'm going? 2 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 And although "just an example", you would be wrong. From Janus wiki: It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius),[2] but according to ancient Roman farmers' almanacs Juno was the tutelary deity of the month.[3] So Janus has nothing to do with aquarius or January. 2 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 And although "just an example", you would be wrong. From Janus wiki: So Janus has nothing to do with aquarius or January. Dammit! So I should have been spelling it "Junoary" all this time? ;) 3 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 I do like Janus as a possible clue, though, and in my research I turned up this - a list of many (all?) possible Janus references. However, I can't seem to make it fit anyone easily, and there are possibilities for a few pointers, but that seems too ambiguous. It goes on to several other categories of references, this is just the first two. The others are: Computing, Film and music, Television, Literature and comics, Magazines, Games and gaming, Places, Science, References. All that said, if it were going to point to anyone, the "two-faced" description sticks out to me most. Still don't know who that could point to though. Janus is the two-faced Roman god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings. Janus may also refer to: GeneralJanus (moon), a moon of SaturnJanus Patera, a shallow volcanic crater on Io, a moon of JupiterSociety of Janus, a San Francisco based BDSM education and support groupJanus Capital Group, an investment company based in Denver, ColoradoZündapp Janus, a bubble car model by ZündappJanus word, a.k.a. auto-antonym, a word with two opposite meaningsSchempp-Hirth Janus, a German two-seater gliderHMS Janus, a name used by British naval shipsJanus, a British diesel shunting locomotiveJanus, catalogue database of Cambridge University Library PeopleJanus of Cyprus (1375–1432), king of Cyprus from 1398 to 1432Janus I, Duke of MasoviaJanus Junius Toland, a sobriquet of pantheist philosopher John TolandJanus Ulitius, the Latinized name of 17th century philologist Jan van VlietJanus Friis (born 1976), Danish entrepreneurSamantha Womack (born 1972), English actress, formerly Samantha JanusTim Janus (born 1976), American competitive eaterJ'anus, the claimed stage name of Janis McGavin, a performer on Balls of Steel Australia 1 Link to comment
Drogo March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 So Janus has nothing to do with aquarius or January. Nothing... except that one is conventionally thought to be named after the other. And Brittanica and Timeanddate.com (to name just 2) both say January is named for Janus. I don't think it's our clue, but it's as viable as anything else we got. 1 Link to comment

Drogo March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 I agree that Biz is a talkative hero and a quiet villain, but that seems like a real shot in the dark. Not that I'm necessarily against shots in the dark, but- Planet Janus is the home world of cancelled television shows, but according to its Wiki, "Turn: Washington's Spies" was renewed for a third season which will start airing in April. I think that show should be our focus. ETA: Created by Craig Silverstein. 1 Link to comment

Guest March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 “But first I’ve prepared you all breakfast! Eggs a la Bender!” Bender said as he handed out plates to everyone in the Planet Express office. Having encountered his food before, nearly everyone quickly worked to hide their food anywhere other than their mouths. Bender’s cuisine had been known to make even the strongest of stomach seriously ill, even Zoidberg knew better than to ingest. In their haste, no one had noticed Scruffy starting to eat the off color eggs. This makes it look like Bender killed Scruffy. And Bob has claimed Bender. But Bender, I thought, was a hero. Does Bender have an evil twin? Link to comment

Meredith Quill March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 Wow, I go away for a few hours and a DL is started on me out of nowhere. Firstly, I want to say that, like a few others due to Spruce's apparent complete trust for Jesse because 'reasons' - I too am prepared to trust her and by association OB for the moment. Secondly, what have I done except try to make all the heroes aware of potential villainous ploys and twists but because I trusted no-one earlier, I'm suddenly suspicious, seriously? Thirdly, as for that 'clue' that isn't a clue because I'm a hero; there have been far stronger clues from toDay and yesterDay that have been seemingly ignored. What's up Drogo, did I hit a nerve or something?? Seems like quite the over-reaction to a simple, 'let's be careful everyone'. 1 Link to comment

If it helps at all, @MuuMuuChainsmoker, my vote isn't based on a clue at all, it's also on previous gameplay by @SilverStormm, as well as my gut. But I'm suspicious of @BizBuzz as well - and just because SilverStormm is voting for her DL doesn't mean that clears her, since two Villain factions aren't unheard of, especially in egavasc's previous game.

SVNBob March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 This makes it look like Bender killed Scruffy. And Bob has claimed Bender. But Bender, I thought, was a hero. Does Bender have an evil twin? Hey! Scruffy ate those eggs of his own free will! It's not like he was forced to eat them. Anyway, Bender does indeed have a twin, Flexo, and he was mentioned as at the poker game in the first story. So he's out there. I have no idea where, but he is. But Oinky left him off her Villains list. That might have been a mistake, or it could have been deliberate. I know there's people vouching for her (or vouching for her vouchers...), but I can't fully trust her yet. Questions still exist. But mistake or not, the Villain list should look like this. DonBot Robot Devil Huge Brain Nixon's Head (carried by Headless Agnew) Flexo Lrrr Mom Wernstrom And the thought occurred to me. Brain slugs. Those could equate to another Mafia power/faction we haven't seen here before. The Cult. Like the SK, the Cult Leader is a third party. But its power is to recruit anyone into the Cult. And the Cult wins when the majority of the living is in the Cult. Again, it's Oinky who brings this up. Granted, Oinky has brought up other uncommon (here at least) powers before. But usually by name and ability, like I just did. So more suspicion. Not enough yet to cast a vote her way, but it gives me pause. 2 Link to comment
Oinky Boinky March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 Leaving Flexo off was a mistake. I was thinking his name was clampy or something and then didn't see it in my roundup. I did propose the idea that everyone has a twin or buddy. I said that was what Janus with two faces meant to me and that they are travelling to the planet TWOP. And while I am proposing the twin or buddy system why would I leave off Benders unless I missed it or forgot it 2 Link to comment
Oinky Boinky March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 I got to my number of villains by counting Agnew and I guess I stopped when the total was 23. My 23 of course may be wrong but it seems close to the stories. I think my daughter told me about brain slugs and I thought it was neat and wondered about them. 2 Link to comment
SVNBob March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 All right Oinky. Those are good explanations. Like I said, it wasn't enough to vote for you anyway, but you'll get a little more benefit of doubt. Besides, there's someone else I'm a tad more suspicious of right now. Not gonna say who yet. Just someone I need to keep an eye on for now. 2 Link to comment
Drogo March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 Hey! Scruffy ate those eggs of his own free will! It's not like he was forced to eat them. I agree; I mean we know* it was a Villain kill (since it happened during the Night) but since the story has all of our Villains and Heroes separated by time and space and whatever else right now, it's difficult to portray the Villain kill in-Story. Plus, who isn't a little afraid of eating some bad eggs? egavasc is tapping into our deepest phobias with this stuff. *On second thought we know nothing, Jon Snow. 1 Link to comment

BizBuzz March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 Truth ... non game context ... my daughter was in an accident on Thursday night (she is ok, but I became a mess for a few days), I was out of the house on Friday working, Saturday was in classes all day, and yesterday ended up out of the house without my phone ... today I head for class again and wont be home until after Day is closed. Now ... game context again ... I see a DL has been launched against me ... I feel like the quiet ones always get targeted, it's ok tho, I am a hero and you will figure that out soon enough ... I am so confused about all these characters, and frankly haven't had a moment to really dive into finding clues (although I have my eye on Curious Parker just because) ... I will try to come up with something before day ends, but honestly, I wouldn't count on it. 2 Link to comment
