Spyfall with ASOUE theme #48 (I think) - on going

[Hermes]

Almost certainly. Apples, perhaps.

gothicarchiesfan, have you been in this location a long time?

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

Master Note: The End Is Coming.

[Hermes]

I've completely lost track of what's happening. Am I allowed to accuse someone of being the spy?

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

Yes, you are. Each player can make a single charge by round. You can accuse any of being the spy, including other people who have been previously accused.

[Hermes]

OK then. I accuse Marlowe of being the spy.

[Marlowe]

Well, the jig is up. No use in pretending any more now: I am indeed the spy, and I'm going to guess we're in the Queequeg.

[tricky]

This was an incredibly long round

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

Well, the end came early for just a few hours.

I am the Master. I have a responsibility to announce the winner or winners of this round.

Now I will announce the result of the Round.

[Hermes]

Ah - I hadn't thought of the Queequeg: I wondered why the spy hadn't guessed earlier, given the very strong clues that we were on a ship, but of course the Queequeg would also have been a possibility.

I wasn't sure what to make of the dangers question, but monsters seemed a plausible danger, given we were at sea.

With food, I wanted to mention something that could plausibly be found on a ship, without giving too much away, and I thought of the apple barrel in Treasure Island. In retrospect, I suppose you were looking for wasabi.

Does Lemony wear something when he boards the Prospero? I was thinking of the ticket used as a means of recognition.

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

Oh Hermes, I am sure you were the agent of chaos and innocently deceived the spy. Lemony was dressed as a sailor, but I don't think it really helped to identify him.

[Marlowe]

Oh, bonk me purple. The Prospero was such a minor location it never even occurred to me as a possibility.

Here's what I thought:

Ways of identification = Melville/Guest uniforms

Monsters = Great Unknown

Hermes not knowing where he's going = meeting Great Unknown

GAF = Cpt. Widdershins

I'd assumed Hermes had forgotten about the Mycelium (when answering Roxy's question about potential dangers), and had conflated details from The End with those from TGG by telling me about the apples. And he was right, I was indeed looking for wasabi.

My first theories were Hotel Denouement (Hermes can't see bc he's blindfolded), then ATWQ's Thistle of the Valley ("getting from one place to another"; the fact that the previous round was an ATWQ location). It soon became clear to me that I made a mistake in saying I arrived by car (a general answer I gave since you could travel to most anywhere in the series by car).

From then on, I tried to play a role that could be interpreted as Mr. Poe or Fiona if we were on the Queequeg (not that the former would've made much sense anyway), and Lemony or Ellington if we were on the train.

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

Excuse me Marlowe. One of the Master's few diversions is watching the game go on while he realizes the spy is trying to get along. And as I am a Mean Master the greater the intrigue and the deception the greater my fun. Of course, it wouldn't be fun to choose a place that is really impossible to discover. The cool thing is to know that there is a way for the spy to find the answer and stay with him trying to do this. It's fun to be rooting for him.

[Marlowe]

Before we start the next round, I'm curious to hear the motivations for my fellow players' actions. R., why did you suspect Hermes before me? gothicarchiesfan, why did you field me the first question?

[Marlowe]

Since Roxy and GAF didn't answer my questions (despite having been online in the past 24 hours), I will now move on and reveal that Jean has appointed me as Master for Round 11. I hereby open up the registration period, which will last for 60 hours.
