Hmm. Some of this will depend on the year.Kast wrote:-Are there any races that are specifically aligned with the Alliance/Hierarchy/????
@Mod: What year is it?
Guaranteed Alliance
Arilou - Human allies
Chenjesu - Alliance leaders; slave shielded after war
Chmrr - Genetic fusion of Chenjesu and Mmrnmhrm
Earthling - Joined Alliance late; slave shielded after war; heroes of SC2
Mmrnmhrm - Allied with Chenjesu; slave shielded after war
Shofixti - Uplifted by Yehat, didn't survive war
Syreen - Alliance member; slave shielded after war
Guaranteed Hierarchy
Androsynth - Joined Hierarchy as battle thralls as revenge against humans; were wiped out by Orz after war
Ilwrath - Original Hierarchy member
Kzer-Za - leaders of the Hierarchy
Mycon - Original Hierarchy member; very erratic though
Vux - Original Hierarchy member
Guaranteed 3rd Parties
Druuge - Space pirate coporating things (unfriendly)
Melnorme - Merchant race (friendly)
Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah - Obv serial killer role if they exist here
????
Orz - They start as a neutral party then join the Earthlings, so depends on the year. They're unpredictable though.
Pkunk - Allies with Earthlings post-war. If they're here they're very likely town.
Supox - Join Earthlings after the war. Same as Pkunk.
Thraddash - Conquered early in SC2 and joined as battle thralls. Likely scum if present.
Umgah - Technically Hierarchy but they're pretty uncontrollable so could be 3rd party
Utwig - See Pkunk
Yehat - Depends on the year. Original backbone race of the Alliance but they join the Hierarchy after the war
Zoq-Fot-Pik - See Pkunk.
I mention "the war" - Star Control I was a strategy game between the Alliance and the Hierarchy. In Star Control II the Hierarchy has won the war and you play a human who is leading an uprising against the Hierarchy. If our year is during the war then a lot of the ???? races will be neutrals; if after then they'll be as marked.
Not including the Star Control III races here (Hegemonic Crux, etc) because I don't think the game is big enough for 2 scum groups. If the year comes back later than I think it will I'll revise this to include them.
BTW, I looked it up and Zeta Sextantis has one of the Rainbow Worlds.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

Yes, more sarcasm. How did my meta research turn out, BTW?

Please elaborate on how my 3rd vote or Porkens' 2nd vote was opportunistic. I'm fairly sure that there was zero chance of your actual lynch based only on Kmd4390's "case."

I'm not used to being the center of attention so much.
I didn't want to place a vote in this game because I'd be forced to defend it, which I couldn't do since I was V/LA. Besides, I haven't decided which of the two was more likely scum.
My behavior is different here than in Boost because I wasn't attacked right off the bat for retarded reasons there.
what else...
I'm sure I missed stuff directed to me in all this mess. Restate plz.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

Being on the defensive makes it harder for me to be on the offensive, so, yeah.Excedrin wrote:Hi Papa Zito, could you take a look at #163 and comment about Mini 817, does being the center of attention stop you from scumhunting?
I didn't find 162 inspirational. Saying he's "only" done 3 major things is a huge stretch when you consider we've only gone 8 pages.
Kast's 168 reads less like case and more like pressure, which I have no issue with.
65 is fine, it's early and that's better reasoning than most early votes.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

Okay, all this stuff makes sense.Porkens wrote:I guess I'm not making my point clear. The whole ability to leave a ship/maybe get pushed off the ship indicates to me that someone out there may be able to hijack, punch off, or otherwise move people around ships.
Since the ship abilities are racial (this one's is, anyway), this race would want to take this ship. So, I don't want to say who it would be useful to.
I'm assuming that blown-up ships will show in the day start, or that I'll be alive to tell y'all tomorrow which one it was.
I think that's more valuable than moving one race in certainty from one list to the other, especially since (modmeta) Spyr certainly gave safe-claims.
I brought this up so people would have something concrete to talk about, and because I thought it would be best, strategically, for the town. The only downside I see is the aforementioned info to the scum.
Spyrex gives safeclaims? That's good to know.
I guess we'll see what blows up tomorrow then.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

He voted you in the same post as all the ship-talk, so I thought they were related.Kast wrote:@Zito-
Why did you assume that Porkens has role info suggesting my affiliation? What would you normally think if a player waits until right before deadline then suddenly tells people that he has role information indicating another player is scum; a player who he has not mentioned any suspicion of previously and actually completely ignored the entire game?
Why would he wait? To see if the wagon would develop naturally without outing himself I suppose. I dunno, I'm not in his head.

So here's what I know. The current wagon is on a townie so it's like scum-driven. It's also built on a meta argument, which is crap. If you want to see a town example of me playing like this, see Day 1 of /invitational 2. Also I'm pretty pissed I've allowed Kmd's antics to throw me off this much, especially when I love the theme so much.
I'm mulling whether to claim or not. Won't for the moment. Claiming the ship is right out, don't even bother asking.

Rosso Carne - Has absolutely tunneled on Kast for no apparent reason. He keeps soliciting votes but doesn't give any reasons to make people want to join his wagon. I'm not sure what to make of him.
Porkens - Kinda irritated that he didn't tell me where to find animated SC2 avatars. Jumped on my wagon because I got defended against a crap case. Then he didn't do anything until he announced that he's on a scum ship. He claims to have said this to draw reactions but there's a distinct lack of analysis now that he's gotten his reactions. Thinking this could a scum gambit.
Papa Zito - Irritated townie.
Kmd4390 - Started this whole mess and has now jumped back when his Rising attempt went nowhere.
Plum - Prob townie.
sigma - I agree with his scumhunting and his targets. Townish
KeelieRavenWolf - Waiting on the promised post tonight. Hasn't done much of anything.
Excedrin - Can't decide on him. I didn't like the way he jumped on me. I don't like that his vote is still on me but he's posting like it's not. I don't like that I'm 3rd on his list and I'm still his vote. ...
Rising - I have reasons to believe he's town which I will not go into.
Kast - Prob townie.
Locke Lamora - Correctly had my stance throughout the game, and now he's allowed himself to be "convinced" to vote me. Coasted along otherwise. Likely scum.
Dry-fit - I'm confused why his vote is on sigma and not Plum. If she's committed two scumtells then you'd think a vote there would make sense. You'd also think he would explain the second and try to get votes on her. Not sure what to make of him.

I'd like to give Locke a chance. I'll switch if I have to but I'd rather vote one of the three at the bottom.Kast wrote:@Zito-
Thanks for your insights.
I feel that a vote for Locke Lamora is a wasted vote this close to deadline and with a sword over your head. Townies have to compromise on vote candidates when a strict majority is required.
I suggest Dry-Fit.

-Your recent posts have answered my questions already. For completeness:
-You would prefer a lynch of Locke Lamora over all others.
-You prefer lynching Porkens or KMD next and equally to each other.
-You prefer a lynch of KRW, RC, Ex, or DF next and equally to each other.
-You prefer a lynch of Sigma after that.
-You prefer a lynch of the rest after that rather than a no lynch.

I need Porkens/someone else more familiar with SCII than I to help confirm this (or knock it down as the case may be).
SC2 has two modes. One is the regular story mode where the events I've talked about take place. You never meet the Mmrnmhrm in this mode, they have no dialogue or race encounter animation. The other mode is Super Melee where you can just fight ship vs. ship. (This mode is fun because you get to use any ship you want) The Mmrnmhrm ship (and the Chenjesu one) is playable here.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

Jelly, please answer these questions:
1. Does your flavor state why you left the Chmmr merging process, thus slowing it down?
2. Does your flavor explain how you left the partially merged Chmmr state as an intact Mmrnmhrm?
3. Does your flavor indicate why you would be sent into a highly dangerous situation when the Mmrnmhrm were already decimated by the war and unable to reproduce due to the loss of the Mother Ark?
4. Does anything in your PM say how you were able to escape the impenetrable Ur-Quan slave shield?
5. Why does the flavor you provided (while accurate) apply to the whole race and not to you specifically?

Highly unlikely. The Mmrnmhrm were a mechanical race. They acted as one.KeelieRavenWolf wrote:Possible that I was a forgotten Mmrnmhrm? One that was merely overlooked for the merging process, now adrift in the universe as a pitiful, hopeless creature, bent on surviving to the best of my ability even thought there is no hope for my race.
Also, there's plenty of hope for the Mmrnmhrm - the whole point of forming the Chmmr was to create a race capable of defeating the Ur-Quan (which they did).

Yeah it does. They're random letters with a dash in the middle.Kast wrote: @Zito does KRW's claimed name fit with normal mmrnmhrn naming conventions?
Similar to Star Trek IV. They would have been kicked if they'd gone back immediately. Then they saved the world and stayed in. I'm trying to save the world and get back in. It's similar. My wincon is the same as the rest of the town.Kast wrote:This sounds like you are not Alliance, although you could be third party who can win with the alliance (similar to KRW's claim).
A huge difference between your analogy and your flavor is that Kirk wasn't kicked from the Federation or Starfleet.
Whenever the Ur-Quan subjugate a race they offer the race a choice - either become Battle Thralls in the Hierarchy or become a fallow species incapable of space travel. A slave shield is an impenetrable energy shield that encases the entire planet. Nothing can get in or out and the shield can't be cracked by conventional means.Kast wrote:I meant to ask this previously, what does slave-shielded mean?
Here is a pic from the game. This is the commander of the starbase that you start from. You can see the slave-shielded Earth in the background.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

Interesting. Is your flavor text "straight up into belonging to the Alliance"?Plum wrote:That said, neither of the two claims we've gotten line straight up into "belonging to the Alliance".
Also interesting. My PM has a specific (if sketchy) backstory for my character.KeelieRavenWolf wrote:I, on the other hand, know none of it, and my flavor is only that which is assumed, since I was given no backstory for my character, only an ability, a ship and it's abilities, and a racial name. Other than that; nothing.
I think you've been caught and are backpedaling.
This information is freely available in the opening post.KeelieRavenWolf wrote:My PM info was green. This, I assume, stands as town, as Porkens lead me to believe that red is the scum color.
...
It says I win when threats to the Alliance are gone. As such: Town.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

1. I love the theme. So nyah.Rising wrote:I don't like that so many of his posts are theme-related, though. What relevance to the game do these questions have, honestly?
2. The moderator has specified when the events of this game take place in the overall storyline of Star Control. That gives me a great anchor to judge claims by. Jelly's doesn't stand up at all, and those five questions are basically a list of reasons why. I gave her a chance to explain how those things could possibly happen, just in case Spyrex is completely screwing around with the story, but she utterly failed to do so.

I don't think it was mod-provided. SpyreX knows better.Kmd4390 wrote:Zito, Jelly has said she knows nothing about the theme. Knowing her IRL, I'm near positive of this. Where do you think she got the claim from? Your argument goes against it being Mod-provided, so she'd have to either know something about the theme or have time to find it on wikipedia or something.
She's had plenty of time to find it on Wikipedia or something. I also gave a big list in this thread of the races and their likely alignments. Funny hers turns out to be from the guaranteed alliance list, eh? I have no doubt that she doesn't know anything about the theme, which is why she screwed her claim up. She didn't know what "slave-shielded" means.
But let's talk about the non-flavor aspect for a second, then. Did Jelly claim survivor or not?KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-

1. Doesn't take that long to search a wiki. Also, maybe that's partially why you've been scarce until now?KeelieRavenWolf wrote: It seems to me as if your logic does not make sense. [1]You know I havent been at my computer often, yet you seem to think I have wiki-ed the information on SC.
[2]I've told you that I've never played SC before, and you still post as if I should know exactly what you are talking about.
[3]You keep saying it is IMPOSSIBLE for SpyreX to have given me such a small amount of information, yet Kast states there was no backstory to his role either. Why is it just I who have been singled out due to my "inaccurate" and "sparse" information?
2. That's the exact opposite of what I said. I said you screwed up your fakeclaim because you don't know the game.
3. No. Kast said his PM has flavor, you state that yours does not.
4. None of this addresses the non-flavor part - your survivor/3rd party wincon.KappaJust MonikaAge is a very high price to pay for maturity.-
