The Thing - Game Concluded. What would have happened posted, mysteries tomorrow
- Thread starter Eor
- Start date
Explanation time!
I'm very sorry I haven't updated it. Really, I am. Thing is (haha), I have had too much stuff going on. Finals, end of school, Burning Crusade, and laziness have all combined to make me slow to update.
Next week I am going on a mission trip to Juarez, Mexico. It will be for a week, and I will have no computer there. As I cannot update for that week, i'd rather wait and do the first update later. Think of the Thing as a tv show, and this is the break inbetween seasons. You know one of you died, but who? Find out next week.

Lol, fine
I sleep talk saying, in growing volume, "The pickle is a world, and its very very round! Yes, it, is billy" I then roll over and make the sound: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Sticked because it's the best game this forum has ever seen, really.

Dawn breaks over Outpost #31
Cool winds waft through the halls, swirling in Floor 1. It's colder then normal, maybe due to the fading power. Maybe.
You awake from the night, your mind wandering over the occurrences of the day before. They seem like a nightmare, something existing only in the darkest corners of your mind. But you all know that is it real, a dream from a sleep you can't wake from.
Nauls opens his eyes, his head groggy.
MacReady also wakes up. He gets out of his gurney in the Medical Station, and looks around in horror at what he sees.
On a separate gurney lies the dead and mutilated remains of Childs, his hands sliced open in deep gashes. His neck is ripped open, and a scalpel is resting in his hands, the blade towards him. A piece of paper is sticking out of his pocket. Blood is dried in spiderwebs down the sheets and floor. Nauls, MacReady, and Gary all have blood on them.
Day 2 begins

Maybe my memory is just foggy but isn't Nauls Duke?

No I'm Nauls, I was subbed in.
Duke was kicked out when he was banned
Nauls walks over to Child's corpse and pulls out the piece of paper. It's folded over, but he can see that there are words written on the inside
edit: If you saw the action before this edit, it didn't happen. mistake on my part.

I knew Duke was banned but didn't know he was replaced. Good to know.
Ask Nauls what is on the paper

Reads what is on paper
Nauls opens up the note. It says the following in scrawling, scribbled handwriting. A dot of blood lays on the bottom corner.
"I am a thing. I know I have to be and not know it. That is the only thing that makes sense. I was alone with Common multiple times and left open each time. Maybe we aren't told if we are things or maybe if we are attacked we "forget".
I am afraid if I am tested I will lash out a maybe kill someone.
I have decided to kill him. I think this will make us live longer.
You should watch the newcomers, too make them test themselves in front of you all."

I'm confused who wrote the note. I thought it was a suicide but it says "I decided to kill him".
Does anyone else have any idea? Maybe it's just me but between the time gaps, and circumstances of the game I have no idea what's going on.

That's probably a current problem. If anyone is having trouble remembering what has happened, please post here, and ill send you a thread of what has recently happened (based on your characters would have seen). The summary would start when the lights went out.
From eastern hall, first floor.
Move to eastern stairs to B1. Take them. My party will come with me.

Ok, when I was reading the note my eyes became blurry, and basically I felt sick. Any idea where this might come from, or could it just be because I'm Nauls, and he's a pretty weak character?
You hear foot steps outside the door, running past it. The door to the pharmacy bursts open, and then the door connecting to the pharmacy opens as well. Blair runs in, shirtless, dried blood on the top of his chest from his stitches, sweat pouring down his face and fat. He shouts "Don't shoot! I have information!", then bends over panting
It's Summer. If we increase activity, this game can be done THIS MONTH.
I am just as fatigued from this game as the rest of you. Probably more, as I have the Pms to do (over 1,000 pms for this game alone). If activity is increased by you, we can be done. It can be over, a side will win, and we can find out who is who. Please, post more. I do not want this game to continue for another 6 months.
I will not make the same mistake of making the day unbelievably long.

I aim my gun cautiously at Blair, nodding at him to continue.
I also take aim at Blair.
Please tell us what you know.
I'll translate everything he says for the Russians.

FINALLY I CAN TALK!
ok, I slept in a cabin just down the hall, because I fear i could go insane if i undergo too much stress and I needed the sleep...sorry for just leaving but i couldn't talk...
when i came out of the cabin i overheard the following conversation >

Aims gun at Blair..just kidding.
But if what you say is true then I'm already infected. I think it would be benefical to perform the test on me. That way we can see if what you heard is true.
If it is well that sucks.
If you are the one who killed Nauls I think you made a mistake. If I remember correctly a thing can only be killed by fire. If you killed Nauls without an fire that means you killed someone who was not infected.

Rabble de rabble de rabble.
I speak long in Russian, outlining many things.

You know, Nauls could easily be playing dead.
Anyway, here's the translation of Evil Eye's epic tale:
Keep you gun trained on your overweight comrade Blair. He apparently has a firearm, and a man who sleeps alone is a man untrustable.
While you Americans were squabbling and starting fires, my brother and I were doing extensive searching. I, myself, was doing a bit of detective work, as my combat experience allows me to discern my environments and find things that are out of place.
I was able to conclude that shortly before you killed your Thing (I followed your radio traffic), Norris, your Negro comrade Nauls was briefly saved by an armed MacReady. This caused me to wonder why he was armed when so few were.
I remembered that earlier that night, the radio traffic indicated he disappeared in the evening and was playing the 'lone wolf' for quite some time. Your Doktor Copper, confirmed as human, said he saw a figure coming from his cabin and the top drawer of the man's wardrobe was disturbed -- an ideal place for a gun. Why would the man ghost in and out when going in a pack would be so much safer?
He was gone for many hours afterwards. My brother and I entered your Computer and File Rooms. The computer in one of them indicated that the file dictating the locations of the battery packs had been accessed. Yet no one came forward. Clearly, whomever it was that saw this file did not want to aid you in your search for batteries.
And what was accessed immediately before?
Chess.
And as the map and personnel file we have here indicates, he's the one man on this compound that can't go a day without a spectacle of electronic board games.
After briefly aiding your comrade Nauls, MacReady disappeared yet again while Garry and comrade Windows fought the Thing off himself. Why? He was armed. He could have helped, especially when Windows had his upper body in the mouth of that ****ed Thing.
Instead, he kept a low profile, appearing perhaps a few hours later and tearing up the basement in search of something without telling any of you what he searched for. And now he is covered in blood, and a dead man lies not far.
It would be beneficial to human survival that MacReady be disarmed detained, whether or not he passes the test. It is clear he has an agenda beyond the survival of his coworkers.
And as for the man Garry...
It bears mention that he and the Negro man Childs shared a certain animosity. Childs consistently undermined his authority as the station chief, and Garry made frequent threats to anyone that should do so, or attack his dual leadership with his friend, Blair. Blair, the man who has been going it alone for the past night, I might add.
And who was it that demanded we waste time with my brother and I taking the test, even after we saved his life and three others from a Thing we could have ignored until it would be in our own interest to attack? Garry. Sounds like a man who is stalling. And all this before he has supposedly been infected.
Lo and behold, there is yet another insistence of this in "Childs's" 'suicide' note (a laughably theatric), and Garry has also woken up drenched in blood. Again, human or not, he should be disarmed, and perhaps detained.
Try not to allow loyalties to clog your judgments, comrades, for this is the fate of our species we hold in the palms of our hands, something too important to muddle from trifle things such as friendship.

Translate this for me:
Alright, you come into my station secretively, armed, speaking another language, and from the place where the Thing had just been, and you think that I am immediately going to trust you over my other members? HeIL no. Im not going to trust you until you take the Bloody test. You throw around your accusations upon me on foolish things.
A) In case you haven't noticed, I've been avoiding Blair since I had to leave him a while ago. I actually believe that he is a Thing as well, which is why I am agreeing with you in that someone needs to keep a gun to him and make him take the test as well
B) Pay attention, Im the only one in the room NOT covered in blood.
C) Im not armed
D) I already came up as negative for being the thing.
So why do you want to detain me? I think YOU are the one stalling around here. Now TAKE... THE.... GOD... D@MN... TEST!!! And your companion and Blair too. After that, I will take the test yet again, even though I've already come up as negative
