Why did that fail?

Town players are one-shot deathproof, and also deathproof the following time-block.

PeregrineV · Post Post #1203 (ISO) » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:02 am

Special Rules:

The communications specialist went to the post count for the day in question.
Day1=highest
Day2=2nd highest
Day3=3rd highest
Day4=4th highest

They could submit a word or phrase and receive the usage in the QTs

Town all had 2-phase unkillable.
If they were lynched, they were immune to NK the following night.
If they were NK, they were unlynchable the next day.

They were not informed of this.

The Insert ability from the Dead Thread allowed dead players to post a message in either the thread or their team QT up to 25 words, as long as it was sufficiently "cryptic".

Agency flips would remain unknown until a member of another Agency also died.

The Agencies has daytalk as long as their Director was alive.

Yes, he still had his invincibility.

Wow I really did never have a chance to make it to the end as sole survivor

Game was a blast, though. Thanks Pere!

Good game in any case, sorry I was getting really tired of playing Mafia at the end there, I'll admit the last day probably could've been played out better.

I'm curious though, Pere, if Emp and I had lynched off shos, who would've won?

If shos was lynched Day 6, then Day7 would have been shos, Emp, and you. If he was lynched again, then it would go into night, and presumably you two would shoot each other. If you did, then town would have won. If one shot shos n6, and the other shot the other, we'd have a day with shos+1, and the same endgame would occur.

As it finished out with Super-shos, who would be killed by EmpKing night7 turning into regular shos, but neither side would vote themselves, leaving the next NK belonging to EmpKing.

I kind of figured you would use the NK on town (you sort of had 2), and then handle your "teammates" with lynches.

Would've loved to. Except I didn't know who they were

At least I got Matt killed via Piggy.

This game was pretty awesome. I truly enjoyed this. I was somewhat bored at the beguining, but I picked up and got enthusiastic about it when I got lynched, lol.

Anyways, Can we nominate this game for the scummies?

Oh hey here's my private QT for anyone who's curious about how screwed up I was

PeregrineV · Post Post #1217 (ISO) » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:43 am

Just want to point out that Matt fakeclaimed HQ Infiltrator in 151.
Night happened at 261, at which point he was informed he had received the role which was semi-randomized in it's recipient determination.

Iecerint · Post Post #1221 (ISO) » Wed Feb 06, 2013 1:57 pm

The game was a lot of fun. It kind of seems morally wrong for town to lose with only one mislynch and no night game, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes with lots of factions.

shos · Post Post #1222 (ISO) » Thu Feb 07, 2013 5:08 am

ok, I'm home!
So, first thing I'd like to say is that holy mother of god, this game was exciting. Wonderful modposts, the setup has confused us all and wondering about it, while at work, in the army, while taking a shower, made this probably the best loss I've had onsite and offsite. Flavor with the pictures was awesome; reading the setup at the end - I was stunned! didn't know what to think. even after we lynched piggy(hell, I was sure I won reading the flavor) I thought maybe my alignment changed and I won with emp as CIA?

anyway, exciting, thrilling, interesting - this game had it all. very enjoyable; 9scum-4town - not a disappointing loss at all. bout how the scum didn't know their partners - so cool. I read the dead thread and the QTs, looks like everyone had their share of the fun this game. I loved it. THIS BIG thanks to the mod and all the other players excluding no-one. Wonderful. Looking forward to more bastard games

Guy_Named_Riggs · Post Post #1223 (ISO) » Thu Feb 07, 2013 6:31 am

Good game everyone
I think the best part about this game, for me, was not knowing who my partners were. Sure, it was annoying at first, but that made it all the more interesing in the end. I loved how we were given code names and told our QTs could be breached, so we each made a new QT account as our code name so we wouldn't get caught. Very fun, and glad I got to play in it

PeregrineV · Post Post #1224 (ISO) » Thu Feb 07, 2013 7:57 am

My original thought was to do a secret agent theme, but I also like the concept of the uninformed majority. But, I wanted to try an uniformed minority, but felt 2 scum teams would be enough.

However, there has to be a town. Each town was named and had a role name, so they weren't VT, but didn't want a mass claim/exodus of confirmed town when a lynch failed. I think town did a good job of coming to that conclusion, but enough element of doubt remained so it wouldn't break the game.

And the town kill protection I thought would even out all of the bullets flying around.

Secret agents recruit, and the best stories are about double agents, or playing both sides, so I added recruitment as an option. I was surprised that all 3 groups didn't take advantage of it, but they did have to give up a NK for it.

Paranoia being a key factor in all good Ludlum novels, I wanted the teams to experience some of the paranoia, so included the line about trusting no one (this was also a reference to the fact if a teammate was recruited, they would have divided loyalties). I upped the paranoia a little when I only gave the rolenames in the QTs.

However, I think I overcranked that aspect, as QT activity was extremely light, and communication became sparse. The result was that the players didn't even know each other in the the QTs. Was not expecting that, but I';m glad it created the tension I was looking for.

The Communications specialist role would be the first time any player would find out more than one QT existed. Incredible luck that it happened to fall to Matt. Twice.
The following days, talk was light, so no results were gotten.
I do like the attempts at thwarting the eavesdropping attempts. I guess that's why secret codes were invented in the first place.

Props to saulres at becoming the only double agent in the game. The fact he was CIA director and became an FBI agent made me laugh, but he made a good attempt at keeping both sides going. His Miley Cyrus effect was to stop him from dominating the game by killing off teammates and keeping the factional kill abilities, but this was tempered by the fact individual agents could submit night actions.

I think that's the bulk, I'll check my notes if I have more.

Glad everyone enjoyed it!! If you have any feedback, please share!!
