only the Log Lady's face is framed. As she finishes speaking, the
camera continues to zoom in. As it gets closer and closer, the Log
Lady looks nervously up, down, and to her left, before staring
straight ahead as the camera moves in through her left (our right)
glass frame. As the iris of her left eye fills the screen, the
screen turns completely white, then we hear a hissing sound, and then
a 'door slamming' sound as the screen turns from white to black.)

42. INT. LLAMA'S ROOM - NIGHT

Wearing pajamas, Llama lies in bed. Doc Hayward and Truman attend him. Llama opens his eyes again.

DOC
Here he is.

TRUMAN
Llama ...

LLAMA
Where am I? How's Nevinera?

TRUMAN
Your room at the Great Northern. Nevinera's gonna be okay.
He's in the hospital.

Pause.

DOC
You've had quite a shock. Everything checks out, though.
You're going to be fine.

TRUMAN
I can't tell you how worried we were. I saw you
disappear. God almighty ...

LLAMA
(pause)
I'd like to brush my teeth.

TRUMAN
Okay, sure, good.
Let me help you up.

They help him to his feet.

LLAMA
Thank you.

Llama walks slowly to the bathroom and closes the door.

CUT TO:

43. INT. LLAMA'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

Llama looks at the sink, at his personal effects, he picks up the toothbrush, squeezes some toothpaste on it and lifts it to his mouth. He holds it in front of his mouth, looks into the mirror and smiles brightly. Looking into the mirror, staring back at him, is the face of Bob. He starts laughing quietly.

LLAMA
How's Nevinera? How's Nevinera? How's Nevinera? How's Nevinera? How's Nevinera?




thellama73 has won the game. He was the Giant.
Unfortunately, Nevinera is the runner-up. He was the Man From Another Place.
It's been awesome, and I can't wait to play, or host with you guys again.
Explanation in a minute.

Yay! I won without understanding why or how! I am the greatest!

The way I chose the winner was very simple, and a bit anti-climactic. Whoever had gotten further in the first game would win. There were no mafia in the Black Lodge, I just did that to mess with your heads. I understood that having such a high-concept game, with two concurrent games could devolve into a weird clusterfuck, but anything less would be an insult to Twin Peaks. It's been great hosting this, and I cannot wait to do so again. Thanks for being so awesome.

So how did llama's vote get redirected to me?

Man, I really had no way to win there, huh. I was hoping for a tactical dilemma that boiled down to a gamble (because there aren't really any ways to symmetrically break ties but that one).

Oh well, second place makes me first among losers, right?

Congrats Llama

I am going to move this to the archives, so move the Llama Wins~ YAY!!! Party over there with it

Thanks for a great game everybody, and thanks for hosting INH! The White Lodge portion was easily the most fun I have had so far playing online mafia. The Black Lodge was a little more frustrating. Since we had no confidence in anything the host said by that point, it was sort of like playing a game to which we didn't know the rules, not even our own objectives. I like having some aspects of secrecy, but I think you have to give the players just a little bit of something solid to go off of.

Thanks again to everyone. I am utterly shocked thta I won (but very pleased!)

This was truly an awesome game, INH! Congrats to llama!

I was frustrated and confused - you really captured the essence of the show

Congratulations, llama! I just wanted to say that going head-to-head against you in the White Lodge lynch was easily the most fun I have had playing mafia so far. You were a worthy opponent, and I had no idea until the last civ vote came in whether I'd be able to tie it up or not. By the way, INH, did that come down to a coin flip? I'm assuming Vomps switched a vote from llama to me.

I guess you can see from INH's post, but we actually really wanted to recruit you on Night 2. I was so mad when it didn't go through! MP hadn't been around and I was itching for an active BTSC partner in my first baddie role.

Thanks for such a fun game, INH and everyone!

Oh, and S~V~S, I haven't been able to shake the sneaking feeling that you may have missed the vote on purpose the day I was killed so we wouldn't have to kill Kate. Is that true? I know she's your best friend, so I was a little nervous about even voting her. You and MP posted your thoughts on FB instead of our chatzy though, so since I was out of town I never saw that you wanted Mata to die until later. I literally just randomized and voted because I wasn't going to be back in time to do it later, and I was nervous when Kate came up because I thought you might be against it.

Told you there was no mafai. Next time don't argue with the Dog of iced white water.

So the only way I could have won is to kill Llama at the end? That sucks. So I voted Llama at the end and if nev also voted him I would have won. Nev could not win with me and Llama at the end. That sucks for him too.

So I need to know, Nev, why did you claim to know that llama and Snow Dog could not be Bob? You had only searched for James one night (you were blocked the other ie did nothing the other ) so why did you claim that you knew they couldn't be Bob??

No, I did not forget on purpose~ I have killed Kate before

I really was trying to catch up and went to make my post, and kept getting caught in linkitis. By the time I got out of it, it was too late.

And sorry re chat confusion~ MP had said you two were doing the FB thing before, and Chat rooms are really hard on my phone at work, FB is more like texting. Lack of clarity ftl, sorry russ

And although I should have known better, i was so excited to have won the first thread Basically, I guess, the people who outplayed were destined to be the losers since the early dead were running the thread and out for blood by the time we got there.

There was a reason why the BOB role was a little overpowered. The advantage that BOB had over the first half of the game evened out during the second half.

Kate wrote:So I need to know, Nev, why did you claim to know that llama and Snow Dog could not be Bob? You had only searched for James one night (you were blocked the other ie did nothing the other ) so why did you claim that you knew they couldn't be Bob??

A) I claimed I had "some confidence" that they weren't, not that they 'couldn't be bob'. Tough to convey confidence percentages without making my role obvious.
B) I was trying very hard to get any support I could find to keep from being lynched under your hard-line campaign of utter confidence, and overstating their probability of innocence seemed like a solid trade for their subsequent good opinion of me.
C) I received answers both times saying "not him", despite that one was apparently blocked.
