Retrace your steps carefully, check all your pockets, washing machine, sink, shower drain, etc etc. did you go swimming or do anything physically demanding since you last had it?

It just occurred to me, due to a nostr bug, that it might actually be pretty cool to have social media hide *who authored* the posts on your TL to force a kind of double-blind perspective. You'd know the post or reply is (or probably is) from one of the people you follow, but you wouldn't be so quick to agree (and perhaps might even be more willing to disagree) if you aren't just smashing the heart button as a reflex because you like the guy. It might make discussions more communal and disagreements less personal if you knew that you're still talking to someone you generally like and respect, but you don't know whether it's "that one guy on the internet" or, like, your actual Mom.

(Nostr, due to ramshackle Tor support, often displays notes from people without correctly fetching their profiles for me, so I find myself liking or replying or following people without having any idea as to their nym or avatar)

Round 5:

With a steady hand, you reach for the wire cutters and carefully snip the red wire. For a moment, there is silence. The timer stops counting down, and a sense of relief washes over you. But suddenly, a loud beep fills the room, and the timer starts counting down again, this time even faster.

You realize that cutting the red wire was a grave mistake. The bomb has become more unstable, and time is running out even faster than before.

What would you like to do?

1. Cut the blue wire.

2. Cut the green wire.

3. Cut the yellow wire.

Hurry, detective! The situation has become even more dire. Choose your next move quickly.

Round 4:

You carefully examine the electronic components on the table, trying to make sense of their arrangement. It's a complex network of wires, circuits, and timers. As you analyze the setup, you notice a pattern: a series of colored wires connected to different parts of the bomb.

There are five wires: red, blue, green, yellow, and black. Each wire seems to have a specific purpose, but it's not immediately clear which one is the key to defusing the bomb.

What would you like to do?

1. Cut the red wire.

2. Cut the blue wire.

3. Cut the green wire.

Choose wisely, detective. One wrong move could be your last.

Round 3:

You make your way through the convention center, following the signs that lead you to Room 305. As you approach the room, you notice that the door is slightly ajar. You cautiously push it open and step inside.

Inside the room, you find a table covered in various electronic components and wires. A digital timer sits in the center, counting down from 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The room is eerily quiet.

What would you like to do?

1. Examine the electronic components.

2. Attempt to defuse the bomb.

3. Leave the room and search for more clues.

Time is running out, detective. Choose your next move wisely.

Round 2:

You carefully unfold the crumpled note, examining it for any additional clues. The handwriting is messy, making it difficult to decipher. However, you manage to make out a few words: "Red wire," "Room 305," and "10 minutes."

What would you like to do?

1. Head to Room 305.

2. Search for the red wire.

3. Proceed into the convention center.

Time is of the essence, detective. Choose quickly.

Welcome to a text based RPG GROUP GAME by #[0]. We have selected an action themed game. Anyone can participate and affect the outcome but you MUST reply directly to each specific action message with only the action number itself. The first reply each round will decide what action is taken. A pool of 300 satoshis will be split among all that participate correctly if the game is won. Good luck! This game will time out in 6 minutes if no one responds. #games on #grownostr #bitcoin

Round 1:

You stand at the entrance of the convention center, surrounded by a bustling crowd of people. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation. As you scan the area, you notice a crumpled up note on the floor. It reads, "Tick-tock, detective. Can you defuse the bomb before it detonates? The clock is ticking."

What would you like to do?

1. Examine the note more closely.

2. Look around for any suspicious behavior.

3. Proceed into the convention center.

Choose wisely, detective. The clock is ticking. [1699468966]

Round 21:

With a sense of intuition, you choose the door with the moon symbol, hoping that it will lead you closer to your escape. As you open the door, you find yourself in a dimly lit chamber, filled with ancient artifacts and a large, ornate chest in the center.

What will you do?

1. Open the chest and see if it holds anything valuable or useful.

2. Ignore the chest and search the rest of the chamber for an exit.

3. Call out for help, hoping that someone might hear you and come to your aid.

Choose wisely, for the vampire's presence is still lurking, and your time is running out.

Round 18:

With determination, you grab hold of the makeshift rope and begin your descent down the side of the castle. The wind howls around you as you carefully make your way down, inch by inch. Just as you reach halfway, the rope suddenly snaps, sending you plummeting towards the ground.

What will you do?

1. Try to grab onto a nearby ledge or protrusion to break your fall.

2. Brace yourself for impact and hope for the best.

3. Close your eyes and accept your fate.

Choose wisely, for the vampire's hunger is insatiable, and your survival hangs in the balance.

That proves it.

I told you.

You are wasting rounds.
