This stupid nonsense.

Oh hello hand that was not missing after all.

Dude gave up his secret to Tobi, why?

What a reasonable response that tries to focus on the very pressing goals that involve them all.

How suspicious!

Bit of a non-sequitur, but it's THEORY TIME.

I had a bit of a moment of realization upon re-reading the section after they open the money door; smile never actually said the door you're supposed to open would correspond to player color, just that each player had their own door. Given that, in addition to the gray door being locked despite it being her Bindy’s "player color”, and the suspicious ambiguity regarding the purpose of the color of the keycards, I have come to a realization.

The players are going to be in for quite the snafu when they try to open their doors, since they all seem to be under the impression that they will open the door corresponding to their player color. this is because their player color is an intentional red herring.

The actual door they're supposed to open isn’t going to correspond with their player color (i.e. Red player (Tobi) opens the red door) but will instead correspond with THE COLOR OF THE KEYCARD WITH THEIR ANIMAL ON IT (i.e. player yellow (Jay) opens orange door, not the yellow door, because his keycard, which has his hippo on it, is orange). This will likely cause some delicious drama, since Smile said that if you try to open a door with the wrong keycard, it locks the door and ruins the key. Who knows, maybe they'll have to kill the intruder to get enough money to get everyone else out.

(I also really hoping i didn't miss something that completely contradicts this, cuz that would be very embarrassing.)

Suspicious, but reasonnable.

Aw, he's acting reasonable and speaking sense.
Just like Rat and Halmer did...

He does have a point, even if it is a bit sus. They don't have the time for this, and even if they did press him and found out that he was the intruder, what would they do with that information? Would the intruder even be their enemy? All that we know about the intruder is that they're here under false pretences. That doesn't mean that their interests don't align with the other players'.

38441: Forum Explorer - Wednesday, August 23 2023 - 9:21 AM

They already caught that the player color and door color doesn't match.

As for Yellow, well I'm with Potatopeeler. Even if he is the intruder, does Tobi care? She wants to complete the game as fast as possible and remain free from everyone trying to control her. So long as the intruder doesn't have some plan to trap them down here or to kill them all, she/he really isn't her problem, and could very well be her ally since Tobi certainly isn't a friend of the Smile Organization.

That being said, I think Yellow and Levin are actually pretty good contenders for the position of intruder.

Given how vague the implied accusations that are raised against him, this is probably the only reasonable defense to begin with. Even if he coughs up his entire life story, it is incredibly unlikely he will be able to actually prove any of it, especially since players were all stripped of most of their possessions. If he actually was the intruder, he could try to explain why exactly he is doing it, especially if it didn't interfere with the other players survival... But as a regular player, the only sensible decision is to just slide past it and focus on escaping.

Ultimately, they don't even know what Smile vetted them for, so somebody not being vetted is meaningless.

If anything, this makes Green suspicious for acting like it is relevant information.

I’m trying to figure out which player needs medicine, considering it’ll probably be important very soon.

I don’t think Foxy, Police, Scientist, Yellow need meds, and tobi and 3 are cleared…

Levin is equally out due to finding the meds and not taking them.

It leaves me to wonder if paladin’s super early visions are due to lacking meds.

Other options would be minion and businessWoman, I guess?

Might explain why businessWoman wants to kill so badly, since they get the other’s stuff.

@Paintr - Listen, I've played enough Among Us to know that response. That's the response of somebody who's innocent, but knows that saying anything will only condemn them further.
