Open 840 - Guardians of the Fortress [Game Over]

[Aristeia]

he's missing all the good stuff

[Aristeia]

I usually don't enjoy post-hammer trolling

but I can see why people do it now

[Aristeia]

ok ok

final guess:

Lukewarm - Implosion - Imaginality


I'm doing this for fun.

Please don't actually blind-sheep me, do your own work.

<3 you Tanner See you on the other side my love.

[Pavowski]

maybe Prism gave Pavo the wrong role pm

Don't do that

Don't give me hope

how is that even hope? it just means the game is compromised?

I don't think Prism would do that, she's so careful about everything.

Not cool.

[Aristeia]

if Lukewarm flips town you should probably throw out everything I ever wrote and just look at the stuff Luke wrote because he's like a genius at this

<3 you luke!!!!!!!!<3

[Pavowski]

maybe Prism gave Pavo the wrong role pm

Don't do that

Don't give me hope

how is that even hope? it just means the game is compromised?

I don't think Prism would do that, she's so careful about everything.

Not cool.

Damn it again I didn't mean to quote that

[Aristeia]

[Pavowski]

You all are caught in a standoff, but at the end of the day you have to trust one another. The fate of not only yourselves but your allies hang in the balance. The sun makes its way westward, posing now directly above the top of the Keep, the heat bearing down directly on its inhabitants.

Pavowski, long sheltered by the shade of the wall, now finds that all refuge has disappeared. He looks nervously at an old friend, Lukewarm, now skeptical that this assignment was made to reap the rewards of an extended betrayal.

Aristeia had played that she had all the answers, ready to vote at any time. Still, she wavers. An eye looks at Lukewarm, an eye looks at Pavowski.

Lukewarm feels himself turn warm, turn to hot, turn to very hot. The pressure and heat wave combine to be unbearable, and the wavering of Aristeia has transformed this once stalwart soldier into a nervous wreck.

"No need to rush, dude" says Pavowski. Now standing next to Lukewarm, his voice is as reassuring as ever. Still, Lukewarm catches an anxious glint in his eye.

Aristeia senses the nerves creeping in, and begins to walk over, eying Pavowski. Lukewarm catches a smile flash across Pavowski's face, and realizes this might be his last chance. He lunges towards Pavowski, shoving him over the Wall, and anxiously turns to face Aristeia.

Did he really make the right call? Aristeia, unfazed by the demise of a comrade, smiles.

"You're all alone now, Lukewarm. You know what that means, right?

I wanted to come here with Tanner, and you? Well, you're second rate. You're not enough. You've always known that, right?

...I can defend the Keep on my own!"

She continues walking, the gentle smile hiding unshakeable determination. Lukewarm, in disbelief, freezes.

It takes only the lightest shove to send him to join Pavowski as a pile of scattered bones below.

[implosion]

i was extremely ready to lecture luke; i imagine now his scumbuddies are extremely ready to lecture him instead

[Tanner]

I guess I break the ice then

VOTE: ari

????????????

did luke forget how keep works?

[Tanner]

i am so confused

at least my crack theory on pav being town was correct i guess??

i need to sleep

[implosion]

the only thing i can assume is that he was going for a gambit of vote ari, hope pav votes him before ari self-hammers.

[implosion]

but also, good

god

this universe i think means scum did perhaps the single worst possible swap x__X

i guess maybe it's good i kept my luke townread close on d1??

[implosion]

LUKE fuckkkkkk

Jesus Christ. If you were town, you voting me was the way out of this. omg

yeah it must be what he was fishing for.

[Tanner]

and for like, the last 20 minutes i have been thinking how i'm gonna enter here and be like "wow gee baltar, such a funny coincidence that you told the people at the keep to not listen to me and go with their own will when i was calling scum scum and one townie was calling scum town"

but nevermind i guess

[Tanner]

probably... but ari was literally constantly posting, seems like the worst possible time for that >_>
