Please don't burn the island down. It's where all our stuff is, for one thing.

How can we trust you? When we were on the ship, you introduced yourself as one name, now you're someone else. I just dont know anymore.

DON'T SHOOT!
Just took my new beagles out... for a morning walk.
I saw them wash up on the beach in a leaky lifeboat a few hours ago, poor things. Someone must have saved them before the ship capsized, and they luckily drifted ashore on the tide. They were half-dead of starvation and thirst. I carried them into my tent, fed them a bit of my provisions. That's why you never saw them before.
I couldn't save the alpha, sadly. I made a few articles of clothing out of his fur and hide for myself. Best be prepared for our first night; you'd be surprised at how cold it becomes when the sun sets, even in the tropics. Do you like my hat?
No need for the looks of disgust, it's perfectly alright. He gave me his blessing before I did it.
Uh about that. I can assure you that there is a plausible explanation for that. Just give me a moment.

Allow me, steward.
Sorian, Sorian, Sorian...
we've all come from the civilized world. Our elders name us as children, correct? Traube is his first name. Zatoth is his family name.
Allow me, steward.
Sorian, Sorian, Sorian...
Traube is his first name. Zatoth is his family name.
That's....a much more rational explanation than mine. I was going to say that Traube found a DMV/Commune on a random island and decided to get his name legally changed for the heck of it :/
Allow me, steward.
Sorian, Sorian, Sorian...
Traube is his first name. Zatoth is his family name.
Yeah, yeah. That's how it is. I am totally trustworthy. Born and raised in a beautiful city called Innsmouth. Once this is over you have to visit it. You will love it. People there are crazy friendly.

Nice to see things are picking up.
I have a slight feedback request that's been a pet peeve in the past. I fully understand and appreciate the work you're putting in(Crab, Karkador, and Mattyg too), but if you choose a way to relay deaths in the OT could you stick with it? Every game so far the mod started linking to the death posts or just listing the deaths, and then stopped midway through or would inconsistently update it after a few weeks. In their defense, I never mentioned this before but I'm correcting that this game.

I don't trust any of y'all.
I put my faith into RetroMG & Sorian. Watch me get burned.

The best way to go into this game is a complete lack of trust for anyone else. The downside to this strategy is that, not unlike gazing into the face of an eldritch horror beyond time and space, it may very well drive you mad.
I've been silent so far, but does anyone else find Castamere suspicious? He does his smileys backwards!
No it was getting to me as well

I'm going to try the strategy of trusting everybody and taking literally everything at face value. It's the cool, new way to play!

I could have used more of that attitude in ONUM G2. You could have helped me win. Tis a shame.

Gotta say it's awesome to see so many enthusiastic campers this year. Normally when people show up there's lots of crying. Word from the counselors is that they caught a wild pig so you guys should look forward to a luau on the beach tomorrow night.
Apparently paint ball is all the rage right now so have fun but remember safety first, those pellets can hurt.
Lastly, we have a request from the staff to please report any dog sightings, apparently an animal carrier washed ashore with nothing inside, there worried the poor thing may be lost and hungry. "Waddles" was stamped on the side, kind of an odd name for a dog though.

Good news! It seems my complaints about someone performing blood rituals next to my tent have paid off: not only have I not seen any more blood remnants these past few days, today I found this beautifully bound book waiting for me when I woke up. Whoever is responsible for this, I wish you had hand-delivered it so I could personally thank you! I've never seen such a nicely built book.
Consider your apology accepted, and I hope you show yourself soon so we can discuss the book sometime over tea! I'll be sure to start reading it soon. For some reason whenever I try to focus on the writing, the sound of anguished laments that emanates from the book drowns out my own thoughts, but I'm sure it's just a matter of getting used to the effect. Thanks!

Try not to kill each other before the game starts. Us vets have to stick together or the newbies might swarm us. Except Darryl, I think I'm supposed to fear Darryl

Those gloves are sophisticated tools for sophisticated and responsible people, not savages living on some island.
That reminds me, we're having a fire extinguisher race later at ISIS. Loser has to help Krieger in the lab for a week.

You work for ISIS, and you call us savages.
Well at least I don't live on an island without a sewage system or electricity. But hey, at least you'll have double use for those holes you'll dig.

We don't live here we're stranded here! You chose to work for ISIS, unlike us.
There are no kids here! What kind of monster would put kids in such a game?
There probably were some kids on the ship though.

Grieving.

To be honest, I was super jealous of your Cthulhu game
But then.... Blarg and Darryl and LoC.....
....... GOOD LUCK KEEPING YOUR SANITY Y'ALL o7
Seriously, though, I think your Cthulhu game is going to be E. P. I. C.

I bloody concur.
You know what?
Infinity Tic-Tac-Toe. 2-player, alternating turns. First to post their move image becomes the designated challenger; one challenger at a time until someone wins. Cthulhu Club members only. Minigame ends once all the spaces are filled with a symbol. Whoever has stricken through the most of their own symbols by the end wins. Strike-throughs are the same as normal Tic-Tac-Toe, either through straight horizontals, verticals or diagonals; but, in this game you can strike through as many symbols at a time as possible (minimum of three though) if the line of symbols is unbroken/unblocked did I really need to explain all of this quit typecasting yourself quit typecasting yourself
Win and I'll never vote for you.
Y'all move, sailors.
