there will be a follow up top level to the motive shortly, the mods aren't around at this exact moment!
feel free to react to that top level tho or congregate in the location
we'll put up the real motive in about half an hour to give you a chance to react to this one!
in the meantime, pick your hostage carefully guys
they can be anyone, dead or alive, but they should definitely be someone important to your character
What does pick your hostage carefully mean...........
this grows more foreboding by the moment
Oh god time to kill the hostages
IM SO PUMPED FOR HOSTAGE MOTIVE THO
we mean that this might be a fake out motive, but you definitely shouldn't pick a joke hostage or one that wouldn't have a ton of impact on your character
Only time will tell
...if anybody's around, I can post a top-level for everybody to icly react?
if that's a thing people maybe want to do
you can just react underneath the current motive!
I think I know what's going on
we'll top level with the real one in about half an hour
feel free to react yeah! go for it! sorry guys, i genuinely expected to be home by now but houston traffic is monstrous
Or well react under the top level I'm on mobile rn
i am unfortunatelt mobile so posting top levels is kinda hard
can my dead body be a hostage
unfortunately hostages can't be anyone who was on the ship!
No dead brother for clover
who wants to help adrien upstairs tbh
i'm waiting to figure out what's happening before i make any final decisions but i was definitely gonna ask tbh
I don't think he is in condition. to walk much yet.
do you need to be princess-carried adrien
also I kinda wanna joke that its adriens mom. IS THAT WHERE SHES BEEN ALL THIS TIME???
Time for team dad to carry Adrien
I mean probably he will try to walk on his own but he lost a shit lot of blood and got his arm cauterized and there is no morphine in space so... probably.....
this was like 12 hours ago help him
What if the hostages are part of Harlan now and that's the surprise I don't know??? What is going to happen
also that's really bad adrien no...
what if the surprise is me putting in Gabriel agreste in the hopes he dies
HE'S FINE? THIS IS FIne no it isn't someone drug him better
The hostages are actually everyone's dad so it's okay they can die
I was definitely going to use Dorians dumb dad but
honestly I just like the idea of adrien waving at pod Gabriel with his stump. perfect
If we wind up getting stuck with the hostages I don't want that???
"hi dad. wait shit. wrong arm"
quick question, would you like the real motive to go up now or in an hour or so to give people a chance to react to the fake one?
What if adriens dad has the same problem Adrien and Marinette had at first where like
When he shows up he thinks he can just transform and be Papillon and no one will figure out its him
he looks everywhere for his brooch and adrien is just oh my god
I think we're probably ready for it now since we're all mostly just screwing around in the plurk instead of reacting but that's just me
I'd prefer not to wait longer than the mods need just so we know who to make our hostages
"I dont have enough arms to strangle him?"
No Adrien and Marinette still don't know they're like
Somehow papillon is here too!
I CANT REACT ADRIEN IS IN THE MEDBAY UNLESS SOMEONE FETCHES HIM OUT...so its u guys
And everyone has to break it to them
I'm crying stop they think its actually Jason tbh
I mean I'd offer to carry him but Dorian isn't carrying anybody sorry
zia in all seriousness assume that luke/probably adam went to pick up the furries and he hauled adrien upstairs if you need that
I don't mind that
welcome to hostage week everyone
surprise you get to be hostages too!!
okay well fyi Gabriel agreste has probably immediately murdered someone when he saw adrien there
adrien there and down an arm
How many survivors are left on nuwa?
Wait but so the only way we can SAVE the other ship is to kill right
the only way to save ourselves is to kill
would... would there be an age limit to the hostages since they're in a murdergame too
if we kill and they dont they die
I guess technically we could not kill and they could kill and we'd be purged
Adam leave ur daughter out of this, no,
I just am having trouble wrapping my head around the prisoners dilemma because there's no real like
if we both dont kill everybody dies we fucked
There's option where we cooperate to get a better result is the option where we both kill
just isn't a murdergame without the prisoner's dilemma
I'm sorry in advance for team dad actively losing his shit the moment the camera feed shuts off
what a terrible yet great week to be already dead
can we just murder jack. collectively. as a group
the age limit is probably the same as ours yes mods?
in terms of hostage possibilities
for age limit anyone who k8s appable is fine
Is there a valued list this week?
its a free for all
Did Jason get jack's gun back
for anyone not getting the motive rn (i saw some confusion but im also eating dinner so im slow)
the other ship has your hostage on it, and the only way to save it is to not kill. same for the other ship
If that was me I get how it functions
if neither of the ships kill then both ships immediately go under and everyone dies
Isn't the only way to save it to KILL?
Don't both ships get saved if we both kill?
if the other ship has a murder then the pygmalion is DEAD but if the pygmalion has a murder then the nuwa is DEAD
I thought it was the other way around
If the other ship has a murder and we don't the Pygmalion is dead, if we have a murder and they don't they're dead,
But if we both have a murder we both live?
Wait I'm almost home what is going on
And if we both don't murder we both die?
So the best outcome is both ships kill
And the worst outcome is neither ship kills
LMAO thats what im saying but a lot less confusing basically sorry
Ok. So if we both kill, no one dies, but the game also doesn't end, right?
how does the game determine the if the other ship killed?
that's right siz! sorry for confusion
I'm glad we're at "hope both parties murder"
the ais are communicating with each other so theyll know and report back
if someone's super hot hostage gf who is also a murderer is there...
wtf
Lmao I mean I think we should make up a chart of hostages bc I think with some peoples hostages we can probably assume they'll kill
Ok but when do we get the sequel game where we play as our hostages
i mean im but a simple ghost
but that was my question, siz
coz some ppl's hostages would fucking go wild and out
MARION DONT REVEAL OUR SECRET!!!
It doesn't really matter bc we have to kill if WE don't want to die but
I do like the idea of maybe knowing whose hostages are whose
It will give peace of mind maybe that the hostages will be ok
icly maybe do it on the whiteboard and oocly a gdoc?
I'm guessing each of the dead people had a hostage there too. I wonder who among the hostages from the Nuwa ship are hostages whose loved ones are dead in the Pygmalion, heh
I can't believe this is the week where someone committing murder is the best outcome
pls dont kill booker dewitt
here you go guys I broke in the post
shouldve just let him sleep
This is it, Cradle Project has reached its zenith! Adrien said 'fuck'
he's probably like. wobbling in place instead of standing up lbr
roxy sheds a tear, starts a slow clap. from death.
listen he is so tired? why was his dad in the camera? how tf did his father survive a murder game the man only knows how to make clothes.
picks up the small cat but also agrees tbh
listen at this point I figure we are all "oh what the fuck"
but listen someone will probably have to explain it to him later when he is more coherent
did we want a hostage google doc bc i'll set one up
a hostage google doc would be nice
That'd be great Courtney! Do we also want an IC discussion about it?
an ic discussion would also be nice!
because wow many shits are going to be flipped this week
kill and risk allowing your loved one to die
or don't kill and risk everyone dying
Do we want the ic reaction to be immediately after the feed stops and Alice shuts up
both ships killing isn't necessarily the best option!
ic discussion of whether we want to purge ourselves so the hostages can 100% live or attempt to hope both teams murder. ha ha. fuc
it means the project will continue
yeah but if you dont kill and the other ship does then there are a loooot of casualties anyway
so this is like...which option is less damaging overall
yea we've got like shitty aliens and if we dont kill and they do then? their game ends?
but if one ship kills and the other doesn't, the ship that kills has the game end immediately and everyone left survives
you gotta consider if we are worth saving. for one: we kept jack
on the other hand: nisha is probably on the other ship
well as far as options that we have control over though
remember, no one icly knows when the project will actually end
or how many survivors there will be if it continues
i hope nisha kills their entire ship
"i win? i guess? whatever?"
nisha does what nisha does best
Like are they marshmallows over there or are they jerks
for the hostage google doc do we just want names and like, a section for reference images maybe? is that all. anything else
batman is on the other ship
Maybe names, images and notes
let's discuss it icly and also make a list of hostages. adrien has his dad so that's already a point against the other ship
maybe ooc reference and then a field for whatever would be said about the hostage icly?
So we can talk about like. Their personality or whether they'd kill? Idek
ooc doc and we'll do an ic discussion!
"this is my father and he is a good man" me oocly " HES A FUCKIN SUPERVILLAIN AND A TERRIBLE DAD KILL HIM" for example
maybe the doc can contain a little ic info for reference?
Yeah I think it should. Maybe a column for info shared icly and a column for info shared oocly
the doc would just be for easy reading I assumr
If your answer to 'shared icly' is I'm telling you fucking nothing
I was so horrible confused for a minute because of the name Nisha. Also how is
this for the IC reaction?
yeah shared icly for jason is "he won't kill" THATS ALL
No objections I will make it as a new top level
i guess if nobody kills this week we're going for the badend
I have to decide who my hostage is lmao
Also do the dead have hostages
I hope luke continued to carry adrien from room to room. piggyback rides
maybe the inquisitor? idk dragon age unfortunately
I know some of them are dead
The inquisitor is def one of the options I'm considering yes
He absolutely did zia because it's the only way he isn't snapping immediately
this the week the good ended assholes go bad end
I mean listen all we gotta do... is kill jack
listen.........let jack live
he's jason's alibi..........forever.............
everyone sits down in the conference room and someone just kind of goes "so we're killing jack, right"
Goes to write Luke's ic reaction to the motive itself :')
also rhys should not be there either
why do rhys and allen hide from us
RHYS IS LIKE RIGHT THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT THOUGH AND ALLEN WAS JUST LIKE. HIS ROW WASN'T REMOVED IT WAS INVISIBLE?
this is the week to get wrecked
Could we have a column for ooc notes too?
And should that doc be linked to the ic discussion comment?
i dont think anyone's replied to the top level so you can edit it in
added an ooc notes column!!
I'm mobile but I'll find the stupidest picture of adrien's dad to link when I'm home >:c
The operative question is whether they'll kill
adrien will be like no and oocly I am just YES? YES.
ty you've got a stray H in your tag
want me to make a separate y/n column for would they kill
the would they kill is ic knowledge right
oh ic knowledge WELL I GUESS PRESUMABLY
it's i guess the answer they're gonna give if asked and i'm assuming that discussion is happening ic under the discussion toplevel
Yikes thanks! Mobile isn't very kind to me sometimes
Yeah ic knowledge I think
Since that's what the decision will be based on
all dead people have a hostage! you'll have seen them at the start of the video when all 40 were still alive
we're leaving it up to gy to decide whose hostages are still alive, but if you want to include room for them on the gdocs that's be great
do!! i'm gonna add them at the bottom if that's okay so the alive people are first?
also I'm driving home rn so I won't be on at all tonight except during bathroom breaks, please ping Xander or coco for anything
we could include a row for everyone in the graveyard and they can use the ooc notes to state if their hostage is dead or alive?
oh i might just do a separate page even
god. clover would probably know whoever kosy decides on for light's hostage too because the fields are a package deal more suffering for the suffering pile
good news everyone im back in the game type casted as jack's crazy gf
he's so happy
i can promise u someone died on the nuwa
I WANT TO KNOW ALL THE ALT SHIP...
sequel to cradle where we play the alt ship
me playing dad agreste would be hilarious he's just. an asshole. straight up
i would literally die if we played the alt ship cradle has fucked me up enough
it would literally be the best worst thing. make it happen.
at this rate most of the alt ship is adults instead of teens
wait are we assuming like
alt ship had the same motivres
might be worth discussing in the ic toplevel o:
i ask this oocly because it influences my hostage
i actually wanted to talk about that ic but i don't think there's any surefire way for the characters to know
we can still icly talk about it! it's just like if certain weeks happened i'm like "yep they DEFINITELY would have killed for that"
I figure some people would get beaten to the punch
ALSO YEAH PAGE 2 FOR DEAD PEOPLE HOSTAGES IS UP
hilariously enough until this week dad agreste would probably... have been like his son and stubbornly refuse to trust the ai's word I'm laughing
and then once we've decided which dead people hostages are alive if we wanna just move those rows into the first page
we have 20 people on the other ship right?
so...6 alive from the dead people i think?
because they didn't have alien parties
they said half so I assume so
sixteen survivors was what xander said earlier in the plurk
I just talked to Alli and I think it's more
But the gy people have to decide so they don't know yet
cant believe dad agreste is alive. a mistake was mad
time for him to be the other ship's victim of the week
mr agreste is the jack of the numa
"what if we just kill gabriel"
"we're killing gabriel right"
"let's scapegoat gabriel"
he didn't even kill anyone its just no one likes him
I could see him getting away with it
Because couldn't he akuma somebody else and technically be the true culprit
Or maybe he wouldn't be the culprit but he does it every week for shits and giggles anyway
Idk how his powers would be nerfed
he can only control someone once a day for 5 minutes??
also honestly he'd probably ... not have murdered for these motives because he's a stubborn asshole who would be like
"why would I trust my kidnapper smh"
Gabriel agreste angrily refuses to play mind games, rolls his eyes every Monday, mocks the ai bringing up his wife because he doesn't need help to get her
(he does he cant get that teen jewelry)
gabriel is mad that his hostage isnt the wife
...immediately loses his shit hostage week.....
Jessie's room supposed to be searched during the trial since Totty sleeps there? Erin's implied (I think) that there was something in there?
totty wasn't there the night he died though right?
afaik we've only searched everyone's initial room and then if they were somewhere else that night
I think it's more he left something in there
And I have no way of knowing
despite it being Jessie's room haha
maybe pp erin then and see what she says?
it's probably something for jessie then
She's on vacation, so I don't know if I can, figured it'd just be easiest to ask here
if we searched jessie's room you'd be the one doing the writeup anyway so....
What if they did have item motives
And Adrien and Marinettes teen jewelry was destroyed
...wow I just thought of something that would pop a hole in the logic of the pygmalion re: items
but its solely character choice and irreelvant
shhhh only murder mystery now
oh also idk who wrote the note in the hostage chart, but gy knows about the requests stuff! We're mostly just marking it on the spreadsheet so it's written down somewhere but we're talkin about it
OKAY COOL that was me i just wanted to make sure 'u' i can make a separate column for life requests if you guys want
its alright i think we're getting the last ones in now so once its finalized we'll just move them over to the living side
i THINK** that's everyone, rather, burns
oh no
"You can tell Adrien everything will be all right. Or did he lose the other one? I'll try and get in touch soon."
YEAH WELL DON'T YOU TELL HER WHAT TO DO EITHER..!!!!!!! if we can get a dezalgoed version pls mobile is suffering
I can decode everything for everybody if that helps?
I've been going through out of curiosity myself
SHE IS NOT TAKING DEAD PEOPLE PASSIVE AGGRESSION GOD!!!!!!!
did sonya send romantic lyrics to her ai girlfriend
how much am i going to die if i read these
DARLING, DARLING STAND BY ME
and alice turns into pink lemonade
or maybe she just wanted to make everyone feel cared about? you dont know her
isnt she jason, wrist bone destroyer-- AJHSF
look she wasn't going to use it again its okay
that's true but it's the principal of the broken wrist
here is a decoded version for anybody curious about all of these and can't decode themselves
oh does the furry passing let them send audio now
messages from the great beyond
I hope Ran enjoys how much Im haunting her
I DON'T WANT TO BE HAUNTED ANYMORE
the audio like....audible?
or is it scrambled like the letters
...
Oh no this was not my intention :<
if you want a more detailed description it probably sounds like. it was recorded with a potato. it went through a lot to get here, ok
this dead 8 year old needs to stop threatening adam
....Im glad you used a potato for this reference specifically
And hey maybe if you were a good friend Adam he wouldnt be haunting you like that! he only sends Grell nice things
recorded with a potato im laughing
grell is also the most sensible adult on this ship who has not killed yet
dorian is also up there but he reanimated a dead guy
And? That makes her awesome!
i mean he's killed a lot of people
somagic ugh lavi's letter is the exact balance of "you are a force to be reckoned with and i fear you" and "pls be okay??" that matters to clover don't hurt me like this
the "we haven't killed HERE" club
XANDER HOW MANY POTATOES HAVE YOU MADE RECORDINGS WITH, JUST CURIOUS?
time to tag adrien and be like
RECORDED WITH A POTATO IS A CLASSIC XANDER
bull wanted to know if you're okay
that's the sentiment he expressed
he wanted me to make sure you're doing well
fuck you dorian you say his joke verbatim
you fulfill his dying requests?????
"Don't forget to look out for yourself too."
A BIT LATE FOR THAT ARUMAT
you're coming through this feeling decently
you aren't too troubled by the events that happened
dorian tread carefully or oure getting a break up letter through furry passing next?
listen please say his joke verbatim adrien'd laugh
his sense of humor is shit
dude ao im glad you know about recorded with a potato i thought i was a weirdo for a second
clearly not the rest of you just know cool kid lingo
i know?? get up to date with your hot memes you jerks
recorded with a potato is def a thing
my people
"this is not the real cradle project" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
yells softly into the void
it means we're all screwed ig
it means all y'all better not have sent in a murder proposal probably
and join the big pc with a furry passing themed operating system in the...wherever
im sexting jason in my next letter
your sins will be revealed
week 12 is cancelled so we can all find out jason finally got some
i guess the pygmalion continues to be the fuckboy ship
exactly you get it completely
the nuwa gets a goddess of creation as their name
Suddenly Light Field groping the statues around the spaceship looks rather appropriate
who would have thought hed get vindicated twelve weeks later
you all even ignored that my pastebin username is ~wormkisser and it was for naught, im truly just this dumb
but in seriousness thank you xander!
I put Addie's info in the chart
ANYWAY HEADS UP there will be an event tonight!
it will happen at 10est at the latest!
but we can't time it exactly so keep your eyes peeled, please, you'll see why when it happens
CORRECTION: 9est at the latest!
one more thing! there will be no investigation on friday
because we'd like to give people a chance to discuss what this event might or might not reveal
there will be a trial this week, but it's going to be a quick one day throwaway trial!
investigation will happen on saturday and the trial will happen on sunday
that said, i recommend showing up at the trial anyway because
it might be a throwaway one, but it's still going to be important
also the one time I dont work on Friday there's no investigation I see how it is
i swear to god cappy if judar murdering and immediately confessing stops being a joke DON'T DO THIS
maybe someone is putting me out of my misery before I hit 3k
well they already got 1/4 of adrien so...
I guess that's fair
get that other 4/5 outta here
time to start refreshing the page
aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
NONE OF MY EMOTES VIBRATE INTENSELY ENOUGH FOR THIS
me as I'm waiting for 4, 5 and 6/6 tbh
DOES THIS HELP
I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT'S INTENSE ENOUGH?!?!?!
there will be one more mod tag when the comment chain finishes! but then y'all can react
y'all look like you've seen a ghost
I'VE BEEN QUIETLY SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES NOW
where are liz's boys honestly
THIS IS SOME RIGGED ASS BULLSHIT
everyone we could have had back from the dead and we got the TRASH MAN
Looks like it's all done!
the trash man has one friend
what're we doing guys what do we do with the corpses
HAHAHAHA the robots will come back in a bit
but feel free to cry-- yes
THATS THEIR CHALLENGE THIS WEEK!!!
LET THEM FIND PLACES FOR THE BODIES
kazuma goes in his room, the trash
grell's taking kazuma ok you are all mean
drags jason todd onto the scene tbh
drop kazuma into the incinerator while someone plays taps on a kazoo
we could have a mass funeral for them all
I can't stop laughing goddamnit
but this is super foreboding :')
this conversation went downhill rapidly
"Im trying" "my last message was a warning"
a top level where everyone is just screaming
do we wanna do what we did last time and top-level for reactions or...?
the only way the nuwa can live is if somehow we teleport someone onto the ship who could then be deda
who wants to volunteer on a space adventure....
also, guys, be sure to give a huge round of applause to the gy, they were phenomenal
i also hope this was fun for everyone watching it happen
thank you graveyard for helping us not destroy nuwa ship
i'm screaming which means i'm having a good time
this was very cleverly done tbh
I just got home guys what's going on
zombies with the news that everyone on the nuwa has immunity
who was on the middle deck while all of this was going on
pls be here for this dramatic effect
turns out it was only judar
judar grabbed a bunch of peaches from the kitchen
saw a bunch of dead people
and just nodded "yeah thats about right for this place"
i want to be there for the dramatic angst
Yeah I think we need a discussion top level
LMFKL
HFG
grandpa simpson'd out of there
i freaked out so bad i emoted
follow the music to the tragedy
I can put up a top-level?
but yeah lmfao the music was an alarm, so you can handwave your characters being woken up by it for sure
unless someone else wants to since I feel like I've been doing a lot of top-levels :x
it was definitely loud enough
and I don't want to step on toes or etc
lol courtney i laughed XD
it was just set up so that it'd lead anyone looking for the source to the elevator that lead to top deck
all 14 survivors just staring at a pile of bodies
luke come give me a sad nuke
i could top level but someone is going to have to stop grell from touching the dead bodies
of him missing almost all of the dead bodies
please be nice to the corpses
quick someone loot the bodies
she just wants to close their eyes for them
YEAH FUCK YOU GUYS THOSE ARE ALL PEOPLE LUKE LIKED?
anyway i for one am commenting to the event because lum has spent the past thirty minutes laughing directly at me and i'll be fucked if i don't get back at her
i bet elizabeth has graveyard treasures
listen respect the culture the pygmalion, it's customary to disrespect bodies
they all got disrespected the FIRST TIME
please judar doesn't even remember half these people
YOU GET THE FUCK OVER HERE AND FIGHT ME LUM
time to shoot their heads off tbh
that's how you make sure they dont come back
you know what cappy thats true
okay what if somebody just puts up a blank top-level
im sure judar just went wow
judar standing around in the background of all this squinting real hard at this pile of bodies
oh looks like we got extra faces on the ship okay
what the fuck are you all doing
like who are these assholes
everyone just ignore the suggestion to shoot off their heads bc thats RUDEEE
so that everybody can fucking yell
close their eyes grell they wont mind theyre too busy being dead
all in favor of doing it that way bc I wanna see literally everybody's reactions
y'all remembered to shoot the heads right
are you actually shooting the 8 year old this time
guys you do know they could reanimate right
suddenly we have the walking dead
why waste the bullets when grell can cut off the heads
he remembers Liz and Addie!!!
the rest died way too long ago come on that's like impossible for him
come on judar we totally talked about peaches once!
no go ahead and put up a top level ty!
honestly with respect from the grave dont you dare give jack a gun
judar is the hero we all need
also can we get a new plurk
judar like who are these assholes and where did liz and addie find them
and i'm sure we'll fill it soon
i'm just kidding he's not going to do that
listen no if thursday makeover hell is still real clover absolutely dragged judar away for this and so he's just stuck standing around watching all of these zombie strangers like the fuck is this. who's this
we can imagine he did it in the timeline where he shot an 8 year old
everyone just stares intensely at dorian to reanimate the corpses
