*Not first night
Notable moments[]
- Dom's still going with 'hobbible' to torment Adam. And the rest of us, as it happens.
- Isaac, Isaac, Isaac. As a Christmas treat, Isaac decides to send Jon completely, properly mad: "Laurie's my demon". We got a new unravelling record as a consequence. Jon: "Have I lost my fucking mind?" Oli just makes Jon's day worse.
- Laurie may just chalk this one up as a loss and move on to the other 4 in person games. It's delicious in its cruelty. Laurie: "Have I died? Am I dead? Am I fucking dead?"
- Ben: "You two can scream at each other from the seats."
- Tiny bit of politics - that will age beautifully. Ben: "If you're watching this in 2090 as part of your history class, that joke was quite topical."
- Adam: "I will happily retract my nomination, for a 12% raise - it is Christmas!" but Oli would rather die and be buried with his money.
- The last 10 minutes of this game... Hold on tight and let's go for a ride.
- Adam: "My congratulations to my Pit-Hag who just turned me, the demon, into something that is not the demon and therefore ended the game for the evil team! ... Fuuuuuuuck. Fuuuuuuuck!"
- Laurie: "I WON! I FUCKING WON! I FUCKING WON! NONE OF YOU DID THAT, THAT WAS JUST ME! I DID THAT ALL ON MY OWN! NONE OF YOU FUCKING HELPED! I DID THAT! THAT WAS ME!"
- Ben: "Dom - as we know, he won the game as the snake charmer. It was entirely his skill and deduction that won, there." "What we can all agree on is that under Adam's leadership the evil team tanked significantly."
- Ben: "Isaac - the worst pit-hag in the history of [the game]."
- Tom: "Get on Christmas board or something."
