K sure, here's teh beef:
I'm still Commander Stryker Assistant #1 (the blonde one), but I'm Town Laser Reflector, not flavor cop. (no really: I'm serious)
In other words: I'm vanilla since my main job is solely to LAUNCH IT, except for I'm prepared on the off chance a wild laser comes charging at my person, in which case I'll deflect it (Washed's phrasing is lol)
I've yet to determine exactly what that entails: but I mostly suspected it was a red herring role from Washed. Either that or the vig (who I initially assumed would be the Green Gigabot laser) wouldn't touch me.
So with that out of the way, down to details of why I gambit'd, and why I'm still pretty darn sure Meow is town:
I'm sure you all remember back when John was claiming yes? Well just before he claimed, Meow made this post:
Ha ha very funny: Standard Kirb (MeowMonster) antics.
John claimed Assistant #2 and I backed down since there was no way in my mind he could fake that flavor role without being legit.
Then however, after the claim by John, Meow posted this:
Uh huh... That's not quite as normal for her. She likes Batman just fine, but also posting Robin wasn't something I was expecting, WHILE also claiming that John was legit. She could have just been highly believing of me, but I didn't think that was it, it was too unlike her to post that. (she likes to joke about Batman because college humor vids that are totally amazing, but I've never known her to ever mention Robin)
It struck me as funny, so when I did a re-read of the section after the John claim dust settled I examined it a little harder. That's when I realized John didn't claim back-up vig like my mind paraphrased it to be: he claimed
sidekick. Hmmm
That's a mighty big coincidence, more than I'm willing to accept as so. But the real deal clincher came when I was pressuring Gorf the next day and looking for opinions since I wasn't willing to let him just slide by. When Meow chimed in on the matter, she had this to say:
Oh
really. Weird picture to be posting while condemning Gorf... I'm curious. *right click inspect element* -> google search link. Leads me to find it's the corrupt warden from Shawshank Redemption the movie. I never saw it myself: but wikipedia tells me the character is a total a**hole antagonist acting like a good guy throughout the plot. Oddly specific...
LYNCH GORF LYNCH GORF LYNCH GORF
And we all know how that went down. There was no way those were both coincidence, so I took up the flavor cop guise with the assumption she was an investigative role able to peg these, hopefully giving her another day out of the spotlight and therefore not murdered. I figured with laser reflective powers I'd at least be a slightly better target for death since I wasn't going to be directly helping if never targeted, if we got lucky maybe scum would even die from it. (thus: no doc on me requested at end of day)
Considering Gorf flipped Jailer, I highly doubt my gambit was in vain. Now I guess we just wait to see exactly what kind of help she is and what she has for us today.
Beyond that: Since I'm laserproof, my idea for the rest of today was to point the laser pointer at me and see what happens. That way if it's a death ray in disguise because Washed is a troll there's at least a good chance it's going to bounce off and not kill me.
