The moment only Matt said it was a plant, I knew it was him. The way "Agarentia Occidentalis" is written, it could only be a taxonomic name. Chris was almost plausible, but slipped up in stating it was the name of the infection rather than the organism that caused it. Guess the college course on greenhouse tech I dropped out of isn't entirely wasted.

[@dbseamz]

I knew it was Matt when he was the only person to mention "west". Even not remembering that he usually uses the cardinal directions of "up, down, right, and left", I knew that whoever had the article would likely mention the connection to "west" because Tom's likely to know "occidental" means "western".

[@Blankfacedmanager]

Can we talk about the thumbnail? It is exquisite when you realize that Matt and Chris are not sitting next to each other and have been seamlessly edited together. Well done!

[@BleachedBlackSocks]

I only just noticed this

[@Liggliluff]

Yes, we can talk about it. It isn't seamless at all. It's two separate images with an obvious seam down the middle. The only edited part of it is the screen being poorly cut out from Chris' image and overlapping Matt's image. With the two logos overlapping the image, plus it being small scale, makes it appear seamless, but it isn't at all.

[@ErikYoungren]

I have to agree. _Citation Needed_ was great because it delved really deep into the article and had ample space for the players to make jokes. _Two of These People are Lying_ is entertaining, but I just can't see it getting the hilarious lines we got from the previous game. I feel like it lacks the space to do so, since each player is on wildly different topics and can't really play off each other. Although, perhaps I'm just being hasty. There were points where they did play off each other, so maybe they will find a way to let that bloom.
