i noticed the Okaros and HP interaction reading through just now. It could be seen as signalling

or it could be due to the fact that I got up around the time HP posted that.


should I have waited for several hours before responding?

Well there isn't a lot to go on, but I agree with the up-thread suggestions of going for the Amino Acid cult first. It's standard strategy for a multi-faction game with a cult, and from the plot descriptions on wiki there's a lot of Amino Acid double agents and such, which has me fearing the Aminos aren't starting as just a recruiter.

It should be standard strategy for a multi-faction game, and we should try to do just that. In practice though, malazan mafians tend to continue attacking one faction at the expense of paying attention to all the other ones. It's called "beating the dead horse" method. With luck we'll hit the cult first.

One of my favorite faction game memories was when Morgoth was cult and made that crazy reveal as a tribalist in the (i think it was) Mistborn game.

actually, we call that "culture hunting"

and I think Silencer was the scum in the Mistborn game.

finally done with work. what's up? who waylaid us from dragon sex?

I think it was that grumpy old rockface, D'riss

Ok, I thought it might have been a different game theme than mistborn...but I`m positive it was Morgy who did the funny "I`m one of the tribesman!" reveals - the PS scene was pretty amusing.

Whoever they were, I'd like to thank them.

Alwasy wanted to read GAP series.
Had to stop reading the OP though as its seems a tad bit too spoilerific...hopes its not a requirement to do so.

agreed as to the principal but saying its what we should be doing is a lot easier than managing to do it. Has everyone checked in?

[Eloth]

i think everyone is on, and a few people seem intent on discussing winning conditions - after last games modkills i reckon people should be very careful of how they skirt the rules this game.

[Path-Shaper]

It is Day 1. 8 hours and 25 minutes remaining

16 Players still alive: Alkend, Anomandaris, Barghast, D'riss, Eloth, Fener, Gamelon, Hood's Path, Kalse, Karatallid, Liosan, Merrid, Okaros, Ruse, Serc, Tiamatha

9 votes to lynch, 8 votes to go to night.

Players not voted: Alkend, Anomandaris, Barghast, D'riss, Eloth, Fener, Gamelon, Kalse, Karatallid, Liosan, Merrid, Okaros, Ruse, Serc, Tiamatha

Im pretty sure kalse hasn't joined us yet, everyone else has checked in, sorry ive been a ghost on my own game. Probably a good thing to stop all you pesky veterans tricking more info from me!

The trumpet is the covert ship sent by the U.M.P.C.

[Path-Shaper]

your allowed to speculate on other teams winning conditions.

But no quoting your P.M.s on thread.

[Eloth]

so whatever team people dont speculate about is theirs

[Eloth]

and using meta arguments about vets p-s better watch another mod doesnt come get ya!!!

[Fener]

They are generally the most dangerous given recruitment, but given that we know very little about anything its mostly luck at the start. Once we start pressuring people we can see if there are any people trying to protect them.

thread death otherwise my friend, each time i get a chance to log on there are a few users around but no one seems to be posting.

I highly doubt the games death hinges on your vote on a low poster 18 hours into the game...but fair enough.

day 1 it generally is. in faction games your really trusting luck not to catch a team mate. Going for lowest poster on day 1 seems fair tbh.
