Ahhh, good game all. That was a lot of fun. I thought we were toast 2 days in, but somehow it went the distance.

So Tyrant Steve falls again. That was some great RP Trull! Really enjoyed it Was there any method to your madness when giving out orders?@Blend: As always, the Steve mechanic is very enjoyable. Did you ever think about giving him other abilities too (perhaps not for an M&P)? The fighting mechanic - though I never got to use it myself - felt like something which would be best served in a more complex game. Cool idea.

Thanks! I'm obviously a huge Spartacus fan. That said, I hope I did not offend when I called some/all of you shit-eaters, c**ts, whoresons,... All in good fun!

My rule for picking fights was pretty obvious early game. Choose the silent town and hope to find at least one quiet champion. Found two that way, then worked to get rid of them. Eventually pairing town with the champion isolated potential shields, so I mixed it up.

As for actions and orders specifically, I did whatever I could to create a smokescreen while at the same time trying to avoid anything that defended a shield. Obviously I aimed to limit information (hence targeting the same people), but made some mistakes that cost scum in the end.

Good game everyone.

Also, can whoever keeps resetting the game alts timezones to the incredibly annoying half-hour-or-15-minute off of normal timezones cut that shit out? I don't care what timezone my alt is in, I never bother to change it, just as long as it's on the same hourly time advancement as the vast majority of the world.

GG people.
I still want to know how Obdi found me out.

I posted in the spoilers thread but,

Merrid was refusing to vote Tennes and Tennis was trying to distance from Merrid. Merrid was trying to keep Tennes alive and Tennes was trying to get Merrid to stop. I assumed the Shields knew each other but couldn't communicate, and it looks like typical symp play to me.

Damn.
It was all Merrid's fault!

That would be me. I started doing that last year when I went through them all checking passwords and getting passwords for those alts that had incorrect/unknown ones. I still do it routinely. The idea being that when a mod proceeds to set up a game if s/he sees that the alt is in Arcoboleno skin and the oddball timezone, they'll know that its mailbox, notifications, notes, and attachments are all empty. Tongue-in-cheek ”Verified By Gnaw”™.

Sorry folks, I've been extremely limited in computer access this week - got around ¼ of the house decorated.

Tennes, too perfect a play on D1! Although finding out you're the other shield I knew I was doomed.

Nice to see I totally wiped the floor in my fight though, take that town

I'll try and figure out what actually happened in the last half of the game next week
