Well Spoilers was an interesting read. I think anyone could have won it, and that normally a sign of a good balance. Was a fun game after the first few days when I managd to find more time to play.

Have to say I am very pleased with my initial recruits I could tell I wasn't going to be able to contribute much so was hoping the recruits could carry the day a little. Worked swimmingly.
PB is a miracle worker so we are still in with a shot....

My only downside is the lynch of Kalse.. I was sure no one would lynch the proven Finder over the Xeno scum and was surprised it was so close. If Alkend had voted earlier I would have switched back to Osseric immediately and I think we would have been in a very good position to win. I waited till 12:30am and had to go to bed and so had to vote Kalse I think Alkend voted Osseric 12:40am or so my time... thats how close it was damn it.

@The new people.
First game is always a bit of a strange experience! We're quite ruthless and there's a sort of desperate jumping on newbie mistakes sometimes in a case of self preservation not to by lynched early It was made worse by the Jesters in this game when we know some people were trying to be lynched.

You'll find after playing, then following the game from spoilers and watching it unfold before you with expert commentary from spoiler heaven is great experience and in the next game you play you'll be remarkably better.
And you can always console yourself, regardless of how you played, you played better than Bent!

Also as pointed out, ignore the swearing - its never personal, its more like a group of friends who enjoy the banter, and the very occasional angry rant

I'm certain we're looking at one of two situations...

N C C T T/H - lynch C and recruit T/H for 50%, see how NKs etc play out and try to win final Day; all other lynches LOSE (Chaos wins); lynch C and vig C, final day is N T T/H (possible auto-win, possible 1v1v1 and hopefully lynch N for win)
N C T T/H H - lynch N or C and recruit T/H for 50% or H for 50%+1 and win; lynch T/H or H and recruit other for 50%

So I think my best possible play is to recruit and not kill... a vig will win the game if it's double C and we lynch a C and I vig a C. However, if I mess up, i could vig a T, if there are T. If I recruit a T, no harm, essentially I know I have 2. If I recruit H, that's 50% for single C, auto win for double C.

Anyway...

Recruit Alkend

It's a tossup between him and Rashan. Both could already be recruits. Hell, maybe they were recruits that were replaced by FMs. I feel more likely that Rashan is more likely to have been taken over last night, so I will try to recruit Alkend.

so...... looks like an Eldar win, no?

hehe
game's stalling again.
incidentally, I shall be celebrating my belated b-day with my uni friends today. I have 3 bottles of vodka, and i'll be hosting a pre-drinking BYOB at my rez tonight, so i'm expecting epic levels of intoxication.

if the game's not over by then, it might stretch for an extra 16 hours untill I recuperate tomorrow,

So it seems. Hardly anything happens anymore during my day/modding time
I'll be playing poker for most of tomorrow, so I'll be equally unavailable - enjoy your drinking party

Work and alcohol, Ment - yesterday's and this mornings not availibility from my side was caused by that.

Also, no to mod-puppets. NEVER mod-puppets. Mods run a game and guard the mechanics, they do not influence the game.

Amen....Praise be to the mod gods...Amen... The mod gods are never wrong...Amen...

Endgame is awesome

[Path-Shaper]

I suppose I should call it now, despite the fac that come morning there will be two cult and one 'nid, no?

That was really anyone's game at the end-
Eldar could have won if the vote went Rashan (eloth should have voted immediately imo).
if chaos had been lynched, Barghast would have likely won.
and chaos did win.

Humans, Necron, couldn't have really had it. But a great game overall, the whole what will the Avatar do next kept me following as opposed to just doing schoolwork haha.

[Barghast]

Quote

Necron:
1 Predator-type role.
2 lynch BPs, 2 NK BPs,
Cannot be possessed or recruited, ever
Can kill at night.
If he withholds a kill one night, night 2 kill bypasses BP
If he withholds a kill for two nights, night 3 kill bypasses guard.
When spending an NK BP, is notified of who targeted him.

How did we lynch Eloth if he had 2 LPs?

[Barghast]

Quote

Eldar
2 Harlequins – Jesters, paired, can’t vote self, have off-thread communication and 1 Day/Night kill each
Share 1 NK BP, if both are targeted same night whom ever was targeted later in the night, dies.
If recruited, die, counts as lynch
If possessed, die after third post in a new alt, counts as lynch.
Once both are lynched, pick one living player to become Avatar—gains a night kill power that bypasses BP, plus 2 Night kill BP and 1 lynch BP
Avatar can’t be recruited

So the Eldar started with 2? But they were able to 'recruit' an Eldar if they both died?

[Stalker]

@PB- Eloth was not the Necron. Korv was.

Eloth was the Avatar of Kaine, who has 1LP. Since Karat and myself (Sukul) achieved our goal of death by way other than player kill, we were able to bring the avatar into the game to hopefully win it.

[Barghast]

Wait a minute, you're saying that Korv was the Necron? And that Eloth was telling the truth? Does that mean he was turned into the Avatar with the Eldar deaths?

Quote

Necron Lord Korvalain
You are the Necron who was awakened by these stupjd living miners.
you want to kill everyone. you will win when you are the last one standing.
You are a goddamned Predator of this game.
you have 2 BulletProof protections against Lynches and 2 Bulletproofs against Night Kills
you can kill once a night.
if you choose to withhold a kill for a night, the next kill you use will bypass any BP your target may have.
if you decide to withhold a kill for 2 nights, your subsequent action will bypass any guard action that may have been targetting you.
you are immune to all attempts of posession or recruitment.
if somebody targets you for a kill, but does not kill you, you will be notified who it was.
Have Fun!

[Barghast]

Oh.... I get it. Karatallid was 'killed' by me the same night that GL tried to recruit him but the recruit killed him and counted as a lynch, so you were both lynched, in a sense.

[Barghast]

Dammit GL, just leave the killing to me! =D

[bubba]

Great job everyone. It was a blast

[Barghast]

Too bad this couldn't get used... lol

Quote

Unstable Devastator (town)Eloth
you are the last survivor of the Devastator squad, 4th company of the Raven Guard Chapter Space Marines.
You saw your entire squad get torn to pieces by a Tyranid Lictor on Orion IV, and, frankly, it left you somewhat... unstable.
seeing as your power armour is still intact, you get a 1-shot BP. it can be used either for lynch or NK.
you also get to pick one person a night to kill with your NK
should you reveal your ability to kill on thread, you will have untill the end of that day to activate a strange Chaos artifact you've picked up, before you become sedated an lose all your powers (both passive and active)
this device gives you the ability to be a ninja--i.e, at any point during the day you may type in:


I GO TO JOIN MY COMRADES, AND YOU, xxxxxxxxxxx ARE COMING WITH ME! FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comissar(town)Olar Ethil
You are the ill-fated Commissar Flemming, mentioned in the opening scene
your force was nearly anhihilated by whater those idiot woke up over at Thermopiles Gorge, but luckily you've manged to stumble onto a group of Spoace Marines and Imperial Guardsmen survivors of Orion IV, who were supposed to be coming over as reinforcements. Since no commmanding officer was present, you've taken it among yourself to bring them back to the city.
you are one of the squad leaders. unfortunately, you can no longer tell which ones of these men were part of your squad.
you are fairly pwerless among whatever's been gathered here, but you still have your commanding presence, and you faith in the Emperor s strong.
once, during the day, you may execute one person whose faith you find lacking. your aim is still true, so the shot will bypass whatever BPs the target may have, going straight for the medulla Oblongata, or somehting equally vital that these Xenos have in their heads.
naturally, you may not reveal your name, but feel free to reveal any combination of the standard mafia powers.

So bent killed one of our own people and then got modkilled. Greaaaaaaat.
