You... YOU!

Oh, there's 4 dynamites. I thought there was only 2 like the flamethrowers. My mistake.

They keep me regular you damn hippie. Now take off that damn hat, it's the only thing that makes your character not the coolest horror movie character ever.

I really think we shouldn't test me now, I'm a pretty bad Thing target. Really I think it would have been someone inconspicuous like MacReady or Windows last turn who got turned, especially with Mac bandwagoning on me.

What was so weird about my actions around Childs?! I suspected him as part of a first round shake out strategy and then he did stuff that made me not suspect him anymore. What is your damage, Copper?

I really do want to see what Garry is. I think he's one of the originals.

I really do suggest Bennings or Garry over me as a test target but I agree entirely with Copper.

I'd rather test Copper, Bennings or Garry for only being active ENOUGH to avoid suspicion.

If you want Norris tested, then I say we get him to self test to prove he's not a thing and then use the vote test on one of those guys.

I'm thinking... Copper?

How do you figure it has to be one of you guys? The Things could have gotten anyone.

I think that Fuchs claiming his dynamite this early was a little dumb btw, he's a prime target for assimilation now, though I guess we do have an other dynamite and two flamethrowers and this is good way for him to remove himself as a test target. But was it really worth it? I found you to be pretty trustworthy and honestly, I don't think I would have assimilated you already if I was the Things, too predictable since you were so active on day one.

I think I actually agree with your logic there:

If I have the test, I'm Human and I test myself, that proves that I am Human.

If I have the test, I'm Human, and I test someone else, then I prove that they are Human or The Thing.

If I have the test, I'm Thing and I refuse to test myself, that proves that I am Thing.

If I have the test, I'm Thing, and I test someone else, then I prove that they are Human or The Thing.

So it seems like in the majority of cases there, the random test will end up with at least a possibility of finding a Thing if not for sure identifying one if they refuse to test themselves. Only the first case results in for sure, no thing being found. This is assuming of course that we all play by the rule, test yourself unless asked otherwise.

I'm for this plan.

Trust in Childs++

Damn it, I already destroyed the helicopters, the snowtrack and the radio AND killed all the dogs. What's everyone worried about, we just need to destroy the whole station and ourselves now and the Thing loses.

Now just untie me so I can get started.... no? Well fine, none of you know what's going on here anyway.

Fuchs and Window's math seems legit and doesn't seem to be goading us into any foolish choices, so I'm gonna go ahead and trust them a little for now until I catch one of them trying to lead us astray in a at all sloppy manner.

I don't like how Garry got off with seeming relatively quiet for so long and then posting something very reassuring that anyone could have posted. However, Palmer's acting real weird and his random foolish test and then pointless voting for MacReady has me a little worried. That said, he almost seems too suspicious, like he's an innocent who doesn't know what to do but has nothing to hide and so is saying a lot of stuff that would reveal a Thing. I mean Nauls voted for MacReady and he's human enough. But then maybe Palmer's just a sloppy Thing and Nauls a gullible Human.

Childs seems suspicious to me for making a dumb plan and then going pretty quiet but at least he's talking.

Bennings is being real quiet, but maybe he's just not around, we have honestly pretty much just been playing last night and only after 9pm or so. I don't know if we want to claim inactivity makes you a Thing. Bennings, Clark, Norris, and Copper Have all been pretty quiet. The first three almost completely, the latter more strategically.

My vote is for Dr. Copper but I think we should test Palmer as soon as possible with the next rando-test.

Actually on second thought, fine. Just test Palmer, he's weird.

But if he's Human it's gonna increase my suspicion of Childs and Copper.

Well Palmer, you were a Thing in the movie, you were a Thing in the last game too I believe, and I think I saw you smile a little when they locked me out in the equipment shed. So are you gonna test yourself and prove that you're not a Thing or are you just a quiet, chicken shit little alien! *RAWR*

Charges palmer with an axe before being restrained and sedated while screaming and muttering "He'll kill us, he'll copy all of us to get what he wants!"






Alright look, I'm all better now. I really am much better now. Now just untie me and we can talk about what worked well last game. Did the person with the test testing themselves end up proving that usefull before. I'm gonna check.
