Oh, shit, one of the deaths was Tau?

vote: Hydra

There are 3 people here who would have wanted to get rid of Tau: me, Aragonn and Hydra.

I'm sorry, but the evidence thrown forward implicates Hydra too much. Vote: Hydra

"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."

The "some turrets" thing is worrying me.

Also, according to mythology, the most commonly cited number of heads for the Hydra is 9, not 2. I suppose that's where the "only because more wouldn't fit" thing comes in, though.

My other worry is that we have someone masquerading as a Town power role, which also seems to be a sensible reading of this clue. If that were the case, though, it would have made more sense to refer to it as "faces" and not heads. Heads is oddly specific.

Yeah, that's why the wording stuck with me a bit.  The type of person is normally called Two-faced, so the choice of saying two heads was an interesting one.

This is possibly a long-shot, but if it's not referring to Hydra (not discounting it, but adding an alternative), perhaps two of the turret players have a linked power between them?  Is there such a role that exists that would be similar to that?

Off that note though, I'm willing to take a shot at Hydra because he's an experienced player, and the dead list of non-mod Turret-killed players (Tau, Ex, Funnier) tells me that at least one of the Turrets is pretty experienced.  You don't pick off players like that at random in a game of 30 (well, 24 dis-counting the turrets themselves) people, these are turrets who know who they're after.  Laurentus speaks truth when he says there's few people who would know to kill off Tau early because Tau can be a pretty big threat to scum if kept around, and Hydra is on that list.

So I'm willing to follow my gut and go with Laurentus on this one.

Vote: Lynch Hydra

I don't usually trust random effects in games (having done them myself in hosted games and know how bad they can sometimes get), so I'm going to also Push the Button.

I'm going to wait on voting on someone to go across the bridge.  Either the effects will be good, or could be potentially bad, so I want to weigh the options of sending a potential good guy that might possibly be negatively impacted, or sending a potential bad guy to get positively impacted.

Wagons are never this easy. We probably have scum on it.

As I said I would, I'm going to vote for Red Mones.

Oh I wouldn't doubt it.  With 6 turrets, it's more than likely that at least one on the wagon is scum.

I do what to hear what his responses to some of the questions asked in the the chat were though.  We have people like Red Mones say that his responses didn't ease suspicions (and if anything it sounds like possibly raised further ones), and both him and Lil G chose to vote for him after being in their own chat with him.

So I'm curious as to what was said in the chat if it supposedly made him a bit more of a suspect.

Declarative: My suspicion of core designate RED MONES has already been stated. Accordingly, I shall Vote: Red Mones.

Gotta count some votes:

Push the Button: 1

Hydra: 7 (Vroendal, Hapi, Lil g, Aragonn, Laurentus, Gerrick, Red Mones)
Red Mones: 2 (Weissreich, Doc)

Bridge:
Mones: 1
Hapi: 1

Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.

By the way are we allowed to vote ourselves for bridge? @Ruguo

Yes

I feel like a number of us are being two-faced/two-headed, but voting Hydra seems like the obvious choice. It doesn't mean I'm not suspicious of Red, but I feel like voting Hydra off would give us a better clue as to whether Red is telling the truth and on our side.

I also choose to send Doc across the bridge.

Vote: Hydra

For reasons explained above.

I'm assuming you mixed up Gerrick and I since my vote (aka Pengu's vote) didnt make it on the list, and I believe Gerrick hasn't voted yet.

Ruguo's statement seems to imply that I misinterpreted the clue and that the clue wasn't meant to point to Hydra at all. However, based on that I can only rely on him according to what other people say and that he was already suspicious to me, my vote still stands.
The Franckenturret is the only turret I know of that has two heads. It also "carries" a cube. This may be what Pengu's clue was referring to.

I don't know if it's purposeful or not, but Red Mones seems to have only increased in erratic behavior, and I don't know what that means...

How do you know what the Frankenturret is, and what kinds of turrets exist?

It's a turret that was introduced in Portal 2.  They were failed turrets made by Wheatly that just made button tests more annoying.

@Pengu, Gerrick voted for him in the group PM. Also, for everyone who’s asking, I’ll give a more detailed run down of our group PM in a couple hours when I can dedicate the time.
