Whoever Neo is, it's up the him to play a helluva game basically. And for innos to get it right for once.

We're frigging doomed!

When Neo has been hit by Agent Smith or is lynched the Matrix is Reloaded.

I don't know the protocol behind Neo getting hit by the other two agents, but it doesn't say in the rules that it triggers the Reload. So I'm gonna bet Smith hit Neo.

Neo dying triggers the reload, so I assume being hit by the other agents at any point would kill him, triggering reload or victory. It's a moot point though.

[Olar Ethil]

I see we've been reloaded. Woo!

Well, it seems fairly certain that Agent Smith caught a lucky break, and got Neo night 1. And the partnered killers got Ruse (or whoever he was before). Not the greatest of outcomes, but not particularly bad either.

With the alts shuffled, any leads from Day 1 basically go out the window, since we can't be certain who is who. So it's virtually a Day 1 again.

There are plenty of positives to take from the situation - now it's just a case of lynching Neo to win. If the reload hadn't have been until tomorrow, there would have been fewer players around and we would have had much less time to find him again. Does mean we have to start from scratch, but we lost a lot less information than we would have if the Reload had been tomorrow. Personally, I think the fact that we reloaded is a very good thing.

A nice shiny new ALT, and we're a smith copy away from winning. Good deal.

Does killing Smith end the game? Even if we lynch him, there are still the other two Agents to consider, right?

Ok your friendly co-mod is here.

It is Day 2. 26 hours 0 minutes remaining. (If I'm correct)
9 Players still alive: Ampelas, Barghast, D'riss, Gamelon, Olar Ethil, Osseric, Serc, Spite, Tulas Shorn

5 votes to lynch, 5 votes to go to night.

[General King]

And has anyone seen episode 14 of season 3 for the big bang theory there a tip of the hat to the Matrix films.

Now you can ignore me and continue playing.

[Olar Ethil]

OK, so looking at the alts that are left in play, we've lost Ruse and Emurlahn and gained a Spite. Any significance, do you think? Seems likely that the Ruse alt is gone because it was declared as dead...does that mean the Emurlahn alt got hit last night as well?

[Path-Shaper]

Am I going to watching over a dead thread for the next ten hours or so.

[Path-Shaper]

Damn I'm thinking of rewriting my LOTR game or writing up a sabotage game so behave nicely children.

[Olar Ethil]

OK, well I'll be back later...hopefully there'll be a few more people around by then, perhaps some that will have answered my semi-rhetorical questions .

[Path-Shaper]

I'm thinking some a bit of sabotage, some mechanics and ideas from LOTR and a bit of spycraft, oh gods this may be something.

[Path-Shaper]

Gem here - there is no significance to the Spite alt - I switched to it for technical reasons.

It is Day 2. 23 hours and 47 minutes remaining

Sorry, I erred. I was operating off of the victory conditions which state:

Quote

Win Conditions:
Town win when all Agents, Smiths or otherwise, are dead or Neo has been hit by (a copy of) Agent Smith.
Scum win when all Nebuchadnezzar crew members except Neo are dead or have become Smith.

And forgot about this one:

Quote

After the Reload Neo and Trinity are lovers and can talk to each other off thread at all times.
Neo becomes a Jester after the reload - if he is lynched or hit by Agent Smith, Innos win automatically.

The victory conditions dont say anything about lynching Neo for the win, but obviouly that is intended. My bad.

[Path-Shaper]

Yeah, win conditions state that scum win if the crew except neo are dead or have become smith, and that we win when all agents are dead. So it's not just about finding smith.

And the new alt is obviously the best one yet

[Serc]

I'm here and getting caught up.

[Path-Shaper]

Sorry about the confusion with the win conditions - meaning and intent gets blurred sometimes when I write these things. It's what happens when you have an over active brain. Innos win when Neo has been hit in any way - by Smith, other agents, or lynched. I hope that clears it up.

[Serc]

I cant get my head around who was actually killed. I get that Neo was hit, but who was that, and who is the other player not alive today? I guess it's a good thing because the killers will be divided also because they hit two different targets last night. I just hope Neo does a better job at trying to draw a lynch today than he did yesterday.

[Spite]

I would guess we don't get to know who neo was to stop us just alt guessing him.

[Gamelon]

We'd be able to try alt guess if we were the ones that hit Neo and not the scum.

People are going to have to start talking again though - the alt shuffle is pretty confusing, since the connotations you had towards each of the alts tend to linger on.
