Title: Huts or Hats
Chosen by: Fernewelten.

Specifications:
This month, your game must feature at least 6 huts. Or at least 6 hats. Or a motley mixture of huts and hats; that's fine as long as there are at least 6 of them in all. The huts or hats needn't be all different and they needn't be all identical, but they can if you want them to be.

Don't take the words too literally: If some or all of the huts turn out to be doggy shacks or some of the hats to be oriental turbans, that's perfectly okay.

Happy game writing.

Haha Stupot you take the next go. That answer is amazing. 

If I think of one I'll post but in the mean time anyone can go for it.

I thought I had a great one to offer not long ago but I realised it didn't actually work (due to massive hole in my general knowledge).

I wonder who I would have killed if it had gone to a 2nd night. I hadn't thought that far ahead. I was too busy trying to convince even myself that I was the psychic.

Kastchey and Cassie and other spectators. I'm interested to know whether you guys had any opinions about who was the murderer or psychic while the game was ongoing? Did anyone think I was innocent or were you all shouting at your monitors for them to lynch me?

Happy Birthday, Stupot! I hope you have a great day!

Have a great one, Stupot. Eat some extra sushi and beer.

Happy potday, Stu! 

Thanks for the messages guys. Sorry I missed them. Turns out I hadn't checked this thread since August last year.

It's the N-Seoul Tower in... well, Seoul. I've been up it.

No idea what film it is though, but now you know the country, it might help others.

Hehe. I was pleased with that. As soon as I read Man n fist's answer though, I knew he was right.

Well I'm going to be back home in the UK for a week and I'm not sure what sort of time I'll have to deal with it, so I'm happy to leave submissions open until the end of Next Sunday (August 4th), if you need it.

How are we getting on? Anyone need an extension?

Spoiler

Freddie Krueger?

He has blades and basically has a duel in FvJ against Jason (July Aug Sep Oct Nov - which come after June)

Good game everyone. I'm actually a little relieved Riaise caught me out on the ‘psychics last scan' thing. When it was looking like Josiah and Mandle might lynch her, I was feeling quite guilty rather than happy. I think because I'd had the advantage of the time difference to twist their minds before she woke up. When I managed to explain my contradiction and get them to change their votes I actually emailed Sinitrena “I am going to hell” but in the end justice won out.

Regarding why I chose to kill Wombat, it wasn't so much a choice as a pained realization that I was screwed whatever happened.
(I live-streamed my pained thoughts into my PM to poor Sinitrena who couldn't do anything with it. )

Spoiler

I seriously have no idea who to kill. If Mandle is right about his ‘civilian' theory then Riaise must be the doctor or psychic. I could kill her so they lose that power but then I would just get lynched the next day. And if she is the psychic then she probably already chose to scan me based on Mandle's theory. So basically I'm screwed before it's even begun. If she's the doctor she'll probably protect/heal Mandle because he's been the most vociferous.

As you said I could just not kill anyone tonight, but I seriously think it's already game over. I could take out Mandle, as there's really no reason to take out Josiah and VW as they've not given anything away. That said, Mandle's vocal theorizing could be interpreted as trying to stir things up so perhaps there's the off chance that he could be suspected as being the killer if I left him alive.

Hmmm hmmm I think it's game over but I'm going to go out in a blaze of gory. I will take out....

Man, this is hard... okay. Perhaps taking out Jo or VW would be the most random and least predictable... so...

VampireWombat sorry dude.

As you can see I really didn't put any thought into how I was going to deal with Day 2, just trying to keep as much element of doubt  as humanly possible (which wasn't much).

Also, in my defense I did actually read the rules, but in the heat of the moment I wasn't really thinking about that when I said I thought scanning Riaise would be a waste of a scan. Remember I wasn't actually the psychic after all. So nice catch Riaise. You deserve the victory for staying cool especially after I threw you under the bus while you were asleep.

My only crime here is not rereading that massive wall of text with a fine-tooth comb after being given my role. If you lynch me tonight, it's game over for all of us. Other than that, I don't know what to say. I already explained the apparent contradiction and given you my whole thought process in minute detail.

Oh. I genuinely didn't realise that the psychic's scan is revealed when they are murdered. I assumed it wasn't. To be fair that is a big block of text in the first post and it's easy to miss a detail like that (I mean you did miss it too, Mandle, and until two posts ago you also assumed it wasn't revealed, as I did).

As the psychic I know should have checked that but it didn't occur to me.

That sounds great. I won't always be able to take park but I'd try to once in a while.

@Mandle. What I mean is that IF your theory was correct the Riaise would definitely be the killer so it would have been a waste to scan her as she would have killed me anyway (although it turned out she didn't). So I was playing with my idea that you were the murderer. If you were, there was still a chance you wouldn't have killed me and I would know whether or not you were the murderer.

Also, that ‘no special role' thing is just copy and pasted. I bolded it to show that's exactly how she presented it in my PM.

[Mandle has no special role]

Damn. Poor Wombie.

I am not the murderer. I'm the psychic. I scanned Mandle because I thought he was the murderer. But I can confirm Mandle has no special role. Riaise is surely the murderer! My thinking was that Mandle was playing some mind games when he said about Josiah and Wombat both saying ‘civilian' but I noticed that Wombat never actually said that word, so it didn't really make sense to me. That's why I scanned him.

I thought for sure Riaise would kill me because if she believed Mandle's theory was correct then she'd know I'm the psychic. Still not sure why she left me alive. Perhaps killing me would mean she was the only ‘non civilian' left so she would just be lynched anyway. I dunno. All I know is that regardless of the ‘civilian' question, the fact that Riaise is claiming me to be the murderer means that SHE is the murderer.

Vote to lynch: Riaise

[Vote to lynch: nobody.]

I'm also up for not lynching anyone this time.

I was actually wondering if none of us are the murderer, or even sinitrena herself, but that would be very devious. Good experiment though.

Vote to lynch: nobody.

[Marvel Phase 4 - Official dates:]

I'm getting a little bit fed up with the MCU to be honest. Disney takes enough of my money as it is. But dammit if they don't know how to spin a good superhero yarn. I guess I'm hooked for another few years at least:

Marvel Phase 4 - Official dates:
Black Widow 2020
Eternal 2020
Shang-Chi  2021
Doctor Strange 2 2021
Thor 4 2021

Mentioned, but no dates:
Fantastic 4
Blade
Black Panther 2
Captain Marvel 2
Guardians vol. 3
X-Men

Ive got a few questions:
1) with the core Avengers arc over and done with, what is going to be the glue that holds phase 4+ together?
2) where does Spider-Man 3 fit into this?
3) what about the Deadpool and Venom crossovers. I thought that had been confirmed.

4) are you planning to watch the many TV series being planned (Hawkeye, Scarlett Witch, Loki and God knows what else)? I think I'm going to have to draw a line and say no to those. There are other shows.

I thought this article was relevant:

@VW The beauty of MAGS is you can interpret the themes in many different ways. As long as you feel that you are keeping to the spirit of what the topic setter intended rather than using a cheeky loophole, then you can do what you like. At the end of the day the voters will decide.

@Fernewelten I've updated the link in the first post accordingly :-)
