Chromeknight Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 So I was scum killed. Cool. What was the thinking guys? Was the the Ragnarok marathon that'd just screened?
mediumsnowman Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 You had a strong showing in Ragnorak and were fairly quiet Day 1. We thought you might have had a PR. We talked about killing Dragonfire night 1; oh, what a different game that would have been!
Hinckley Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 You had a strong showing in Ragnorak and were fairly quiet Day 1. We thought you might have had a PR. We talked about killing Dragonfire night 1; oh, what a different game that would have been! No comment.
MagPiesRUs Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Yeah, Lind was the protector, inherited it from fhomess (but I thought it was Lady K) Hmmm. Good thing you weren't the godfather then, otherwise the town would have really been screwed. There was supposed to be meaning to the code, but I'll admit I totally lost track of it myself. It worked better than I could ever hope for as a distraction though. It also had a major flaw incriminating CMP and TPRU. Sorry guys, luckily we got a quick end. But also because we are awesome. I apologize for digging your grave Tariq J, but that's what happens when you claim to scum. Yeeees.... kill dave. kill dave. kill dave. not me. I'm not actually sure why people were implying me or CMP had to be responsible for Lady K's death. I don't think the scum would ever kill someone just because they received a small part of a code. Speaking of the code, I was right that Hinckley was the one who killed Tariq! Even though Lady K never told him her code... I admit to glossing over most of those code posts too.
Hinckley Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Speaking of the code, I was right that Hinckley was the one who killed Tariq! Even though Lady K never told him her code... I admit to glossing over most of those code posts too. That's because nobody needed the damn code to figure it out. Trust me, I'm kicking myself now for switching my target from Dave to Tariq. I really did think Dave would be an easy Day Three lynch... I can't roll my eyes enough.
Dragonfire Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I also think we would have been rooted out and lined up to the gallows, given the town had gotten a day, or tops two more. Thanks for showing me the ropes To be honest we would have lynched you last. You were probably the towniest out of all the scum (cause of the code thing). Not counting CMP though. This is sci-fi.. If I host a sequel, I don't see why anyone couldn't recur as a previous character. Death is cheap. What image did you post? Oh, one more fun fact, last night I changed targets twice. I originally submitted a kill for Clementine, but Dave told me he was going to be protected. Little did we know he was the doc. I retracted it and killed mostlytechnic, but at the last minute swapped it over to Dragonfire, because we thought he was the actual doc! We lied to Dave so that the scum would hopefully kill Ranger. Sorry Bob. I ordered both kills on you
Tariq j Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Speaking of the code, I was right that Hinckley was the one who killed Tariq! Even though Lady K never told him her code... I admit to glossing over most of those code posts too. You Evil Scum... I Should've claimed to minga or Lind. Massive mistake on my part, apologies to the town for that.
Piratedave84 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 To be honest we would have lynched you last. You were probably the towniest out of all the scum (cause of the code thing). Not counting CMP though. What image did you post? We lied to Dave so that the scum would hopefully kill Ranger. Sorry Bob. I ordered both kills on you I thought you were lying but we had to ensure a kill to win; your buddy-up post was waaaay yo buddy-buddy to be sincere!
Bob Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 You had a strong showing in Ragnorak and were fairly quiet Day 1. We thought you might have had a PR. We talked about killing Dragonfire night 1; oh, what a different game that would have been! Why would you order the kill on Dragonfire? He was the scum godfather, after all. That doesn't make a lot of sense to kill one of your own team. Dragonfire had to have been the godfather, He was investigated as town. Come on, post the real conclusion pictures in which he gets up and joins his Blacktron comrades! He was "killed" with blanks!
Dannylonglegs Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Why would you order the kill on Dragonfire? He was the scum godfather, after all. That doesn't make a lot of sense to kill one of your own team. Dragonfire had to have been the godfather, He was investigated as town. Come on, post the real conclusion pictures in which he gets up and joins his Blacktron comrades! He was "killed" with blanks! Of course! The scum actually had 6 members, but the 2 godfathers (both userpers as well), Dragon fire, and TPRU could not both win together, so, knowing this, TPRU buddied up to Medium and got him to kill DF, who turned out to have been a secret reverse death miller. That's what really happened. ~Insectoid Aristocrat
fhomess Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 You Evil Scum... I Should've claimed to minga or Lind. Massive mistake on my part, apologies to the town for that. No, you should not have claimed at all. At least, not on Day 2 when you had nothing to go on and sharing your results didn't solve any real problem. Someone accusing someone else is no reason to go claiming to them. As for the numbers, I think 6 non-townies is a lot, but I feel like the roles were a bigger issue as far as balance is concerned. Role cop and watcher both help scum find town PR's so they can direct their kills where it hurts most. Add a blocker and a godfather and they can pretty much neutralize town. If they had large numbers but were mostly goons, it could still balance out.

That's what really happened. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Actually, that's completely wrong. On the night the scum killed me, I was converted to the Cult of Insectoids and died as a giant mutant fly monster
Darkdragon Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Hosts, will you be posting the welcome pm for each player? I'm still confused.
mediumsnowman Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) What pranks did you guys pull? I planted a disco ball and a mariachi band in Bob's room one night. I requested to kill Hinckley by smashing a houseplant over his head, but he was bulletproof. I also requested to plaster Danny's room in Prometheus posters, but he didn't allow it because "he didn't want the conclusion to be tarnished" Edited September 23, 2015 by mediumsnowman
Hinckley Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I pulled the prank of not killing Dave...
JackJonespaw Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I pulled the prank of not killing Dave...
Piratedave84 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I pulled the prank of not killing Dave... bahhhhhh!
Dannylonglegs Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Hosts, will you be posting the welcome pm for each player? I'm still confused. I will soon. Tonight most likely. I just needed to go to sleep early yesterday. and I've got a busy day tomorrow, so there is a chance it'll have to wait until I do character analysis on friday. But, if it's any help: there were no conversions or anything. The cult (and cake) is a lie. all the roles were very simple (in my opinion) with the only atypical roles being the backup and the (first ever) scum watcher. And yes, I agree the game was unbalanced. I didn't adapt the mechanics well to accommodate the lower number of players, and as a result, the Blacktron team was a bit OP. If I'd had 21 players, I would be more interested to see how the combination of a role cop and a watcher helped (or didn't) the mafia, but as it is, such questions are overshadowed by the more obvious imbalance stemming from the one-to-many number of scum. ~Insectoid Aristocrat
mediumsnowman Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I wouldn't be too hard on yourself Danny. Balancing a game seems pretty difficult. Last night, had my kill bounced and the vig killed one of us the game could have gone very differently!
Bob Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 It's OK, you can come out of your tunnel now. The game's over, it's safe to come out

jluck Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Guys, thanks so much for hosting! I didn't get to follow too closely after I died so early but it looks like you did a great job, thanks!
Dannylonglegs Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Uploaded with better pictures. Thanks JJP! I'll try to get at least a bit of analysis up tonight after work! ~Insectoid Aristocrat
Dannylonglegs Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Ok, so, as a general thought, I thought everyone played really well! Maybe it's just that I knew everything everyone was trying to do, but I was really impressed by how sensible most players were being. Maybe the players themselves have different opinions on the subject, but I think everyone did a great job! Except me. I threw you all into an unbalanced game. So I failed to meet my win-condition. So: First, the roles: Characters (19) 4 of 2 (Mostlytechnic) Race: Human cyborg Occupation: Technician 4 of 2 is what happened when a human underwent the cyborgization process practiced by the Ufoan race. Damaged in a starship explosion in Ufoan space, and the sole survivor of her crew, the Ufoans performed their cyborgization tradition upon her to save her life. They succeeded, but at a price. 4 of 2 was not the woman she was before. Once a vibrant, fun-loving individual, she is now more machine than woman, and has a very robotic way of looking at things, which tends to make those around her uncomfortable. She now tends to the machines and technology on this frontier settlement, having decided to keep as far away from people and her former life as she could. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the Vigilante: You may chose one target each night to kill. Bock Pathos (Bob) Race: 1/2 Klingulcanomulan Occupation: Bureaucrat Bock is half Klingulcanomulan, half human, and, as is typical for a member of his race, he is a very passionate individual. Bock has a tendency to care very deeply for those around him, placing the few over the many. There are many ways to trigger an emotional response from Bock. Even something as minor as a cute pet picture can cause him to become overwhelmed by emotion. However, due to the fact that he is half human, it is possible to coax him into a fit of logic. Bock had a steady job as an administrator on a core world, but that all changed when he received a chain holo-mail lamenting the "plight" of the Miners on frontier mining worlds, which could be alleviated just by sending in your Bank PIN and Social Security Number.... So he had himself transferred to LI-420 so that he could help them out through his passionate love for social justice! However, when he got here, he found the job to be thankless, and primarily composed of paper-work crunching. Also a large sum of money had been transferred from his account to a mysterious "Social Calamities Averted through your Money" organization. You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. You may PM me during the nights with poems, if you like, but they'll probably have no effect. Clark Kubrick (Chromeknight) Race: Human Occupation: Bureaucrat Clark was appointed to oversee the unveiling of a brand new super computer spaceship control system and to attend its inaugural flight. This prestigious event was a culmination of all his hard work climbing the governmental ladders, and, had it been successful, might have ignited his hopes of running for Governor of his home colony. Naturally, the voyage was a complete disaster. The computer turned out to be homicidal, as they often do, and he was forced to deactivate it, remaining the ship's sole survivor. The manufacturer of the computer denied all of this, citing "human error" as the fatal flaw, and placing all blame and culpability on Clark. Fleeing persecution at the hands of the Computer manufacturer, Clark wound up on LI-420. Now, with his dreams of governorship in shambles, he only hopes that somehow he can make a name for himself here, and move up on to better things. He's now in a relationship with Harriet Stomper, although he doesn't know she already has a family back home. You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. You may help your team through voting, wit, and participation. Claw (Lazychicken) Race: Burghiszoid Occupation: Various "Claw" is a single mind between several bodies. They belong to the species known as "Burghiszoids" due to their truly bizarre alien physiology reminding the very first human to discover them of the Burghis-shale-locked creatures of earth's Cambrian explosion. A brood of Burghiszoids, such as claw, shares one mind among its member bodies. These bodies can perform a myriad of dissimilar tasks, but their thoughts are one and the same. The brood known as Claw was here on the planet when the Federation first began mining. They just showed up one day, and have been performing odd jobs for the facility inhabitants ever since, demanding nothing in return. At first, it was pretty unsettling to the crew, but they've gotten used to not having to clean out the ventilation shafts, or gather energy pods from the solar fields, or picking up after meals. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the Paranoid Blaster Owner. You passively kill anyone who targets you at night. Clementine Lister (Lind Whisperer) Race: Human Occupation: Miner Clementine Lister was a lowly technician onboard the "Little Red," M-Tron's first expedition to LI-420. So lowly was she that her Crewmates forgot to retrieve her from cryosleep upon arrival. This turned out to be her saving grace, as the expedition ended in disaster due to a malfunction of the ship's computer which resulted in the release of a deadly neurotoxin. Only after the ship had long since crashed on LI-420, and the neurotoxin had dissipated, was Clementine awoken from her slumber. She survived alone on the deserted ship for several years before her rescue at the hands of 'Rip' and some other miners who finally found the derelict ship's homing beacon and were tasked by their company to "check it out." Clementine claims to have made companions with a sentient cat and a hologram during her stay on the ship, however no evidence of these characters was discovered. The medical consensus is that these were just hallucinations induced by lingering neurotoxin. But in her defense, Major Dave believes her. Now Clementine works as a miner, supporting Harriet and 'Rip' in tending to the mining equipment. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the backup. Should the Town Investigator, Protector, or Vigilante die, you inherit that. First dead, first served. Diamond Dodd (CallmePies) Race: Pliskeen Occupation: Cook, among other things Diamond Dodd is the facility's chef, during the day, and bartender during the night. The facility's robots actually do all the cooking and cleaning, so Diamond has plenty of time to partake in other activities. Diamond is a member of the hermaphroditic Pliskeen species from Arcturius. Arcturius is a lush and verdant world positioned midway between several other homeworlds of ancient space-faring species. As a result, the Pliskeen species evolved alongside quite a few different alien races, making them famous for their "compatability" with many a species. The typical career trajectory for a Pliskeen in the Federation either involves performance art, or diplomatic relations. Diamond was not gifted with a particularly melodic singing voice (by Pliskeen standards), nor were they gifted with the grace and poise other Pliskeen often displayed, so Diamond opted for diplomacy. after leaving their homeworld, however, they discovered that they found diplomatic relations to be exceedingly boring. After a few failed internships with famed diplomats, Diamond found their way to LI-420, and filled an empty hole that was in need of attention. Diamond still wishes to explore the galaxy, though, having once again grown dissatisfied with their current inactivity. Diamond wants action and adventure, and they found some in their partner, Nathan Mallard, who they calls "Maurice" for reasons only they knows. Nathan promises to take them on adventures on his smuggling ship, which suits Diamond just fine! You are Blacktron. Comprised of Diamond Dodd, Nathan Mallard, Harriet Stomper, Paul Harkonenn, and Zipzop Beetlejuice, you all win by outnumbering the town. Coordinate here Password is "Rebelscum" You are The Blacktron Rolecop: You may investigate one player per night to see what role that individual has. Doctor Wen (Xenophobic Monoxide) Race: Seems Human enough Occupation: Doctor Doctor Wen is definitely a human, and definitely has a doctorate of some kind. Likely a medical doctorate, as that would make most sense, considering Wen is the base's Doctor. The good Doctor knows a lot about a lot, and has absolutely no problem babbling frantically, in a varying accent from the British Isles, about just about anything while doctoring. The doctor is deeply altruistic, caring about even the smallest and ugliest of creatures. The one exception to this rule is in regard to an entity known only as "Mo-Phat the Destroyer." The Doctor despises this creature for some reason, and whenever it's name is brought up in conversation, the Doctor becomes uncharacteristically serious, claiming "they gave him to much power." No one has ever seen or heard of the entity, and it is speculated that the creature may only exist inside the Doctor's head. You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. You may bring victory to your team with your voting, and thoughtful analysis of events. Ender Gaiman (Jluck) Race: Buggizoid Occupation: Bureaucrat Ender Gaiman is a brilliant tactical mind. He wrote the book on interstellar warfare in the 26th century. While many applaud his efficiency and strategic genius, some consider his methods brutal, and "pretty sociopathic." His life up until recently has been devoted to quelling insurrections, and dealing with hostile first encounters. This all changed when during one such hostile encounter, he ordered the complete annihilation of the alien's homeworld. "It was seriously us or them." Were his remarks. Needless to say, Ender was stripped of his rank and given a lowly position as one of the diplomatic liasons on this planet. He was not endighted for war crimes, however, because he still has powerful friends in high places who didn't want to see him imprisoned. Also, most people agree that "It was probably us or them." You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. Use your vote and wits to out-maneuver the Blacktron rebel scum! Hannah Ford (Ranger of the Forest) Race: Human Occupation: Smuggler A rogue and a scoundrel, Hannah is the suave pilot of "The Annual Eagle" a hunk of junk spaceship she souped up and pimped out to fit her intended use... which was smuggling, of course! Quick to crack a joke, and even quicker on the draw, Hannah has made many enemies in her business... because she's not that great at it. She's certainly amoral enough to fit in with her corrupt clients, and she certainly sounds like she knows what she's talking about when she throws out words like "parsec" and calls folks "kid" or "rookie", but for whatever reason, she ain't the best at following through with her end of the deals she offers. For the most part her misadventures end up well enough for her, but she's racked up debts all over the galaxy, and some day, she'll have to pay up. She's rivals with fellow smuggler, Nathan Mallard, and the two end up butting heads wherever they go, as they pursue the same clientele. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the Investigator. You may target a player to determine their affiliation each night. Harriet Stomper (Mediumsnowman) Race: Human Occupation: Miner Harriet' s a tough space miner, who does what she does for the good of the Federation, and for the good money in it! Without miners like herself, where would the Federation be? Ships need metal and gas, and other stuff, and Harriet is very good at extracting those things from asteroids and planetoids alike! She takes great pride in her ability to operate heavy machinery, and her hands on knowledge of the perils of space mining. She's exploded soon-to-impact comets, operated almost every Power Mining and Rock Raiding vehicle, and even extracted awesumnium from a biomass granting planet. Mining is her life, and she does it for the Federation, and the money, for her family back home on Earth. She's presently in a relationship of convenience with Clark Kubrick, although it doesn't mean anything to her. You are Blacktron. Comprised of Diamond Dodd, Nathan Mallard, Harriet Stomper, Paul Harkonenn, and Zipzop Beetlejuice, you all win by outnumbering the town. Coordinate here Password is "Rebelscum" You are the Blacktron's Night Killer. You may target a player each night and kill that player. Laura Starbucks (Tariq) Race: Human Occupation: Bureaucrat Laura Starbucks is the second in line to being heir to the Starbucks Franchise. Her tall days were spent in vicious intrigue and competition amongst her four three sisters for the Trenté fortune awaiting the eldest. Laura was a clever schemer... but she was out gambited by her sociopathic younger sister, who finally had her banished to as far away from Starbucks HQ as she could. Laura too has powerful friends, so she has maintained a prestigious position in the company, as well as a simple syrup sweet administrative job on LI-420, but still she still has resentment brewing within her, and longs to enact her grandé revenge on her sister and retake her place as the rightful heir to the Corporation! As far as exiles go, LI-420 isn't so bad. The work is so easy, Claw could (and often does) do it, and she has plenty of time for her scheming. The only problem is the coffee on this planet is miserable. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the Proud Owner of a Tracking Device. You may target a player each night and learn who that player targeted. Major Dave (Fhomess) Race: what's the hurry, man? Occupation: Security Officer Major Dave's earliest wish was to be an astronaut, but ended up enlisting in the Space Police program. Bored of his unfulfilling life in a core world precinct, Major Dave sought to enlighten and entertain himself by becoming a phychonaut instead. Making use of confiscated LSD and similar substances, Major Dave went through his daily routines high as a space station. And for the most part no one cared or noticed. That is, until one day, Major Dave went out into space with his suit on backwards. In his defense, that's what the Glimmering Space Dragons told him would allow him to ascend to a higher plane of existence. His supervisor started taking notice of his proclivities, and soon Major Dave found himself under intense scrutiny. Chaffing under the new regulations on submitting narcotic drugs into evidence, Dave left his cushy Core-World job to become the primary security officer on LI-420, where he continues to blaze it daily, and partake in solo psychotropic expeditions. There's not all that much securing that needs doing in the facility after all. The Glimmering Space Dragons are much more interesting. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the protector. Each night, you may target a player, and prevent that player from dying during the night. Minga Gorgon (Dragonfire) Race: Fa'Anta Cera (Trollz) Occupation: Bureaucrat Minga Gorgon was an exceedingly competent Governor of her homeworld. The only problem was that she was, infact, the Governor's Administrative Assistant.... and that of the previous 5 Governors. During her unelected reign, her planet saw an Economic boom, and grew in influence in the galactic court. All that changed when the court finally looked into the governance of her homeworld after some incompetent baffoon errased her planet from the Federation's archives. In the ensuing scrutiny, it was revealed that Minga had been ruling the planet from the shadows. To be perfectly fair, though, she ruled it very well and her people, the Fa'Anta Cera (derogatorily referred to as Trollz) had always been under the leadership of absolute monarchs, having never truly even desired a democratic government system. Naturally, the Federation removed her, but her planet's Governor ensured Minga would not see jail time, instead having her assigned to LI-420. Here, Minga does the best she can to help administer the planet, and maintain positive diplomatic relations with the Insectoids, but in her absence, her planet has fallen into a recession. Her people need her, and she needs to go back. You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. Only your wits, charm, and your vote! Nathan 'Maurice' Mallard (TinyPiesRUs) Race: Human Occupation: Smuggler Some people call him the space cowboy. Others call him the gangster of love. One person calls him 'Maurice,' but as to why that is, it's hard to be sure of. Nathan is and ace pilot and captain of "The Serendipity," a ladybug class freighter, which he uses for smuggling. This puts him at odds with Hannah, quite frequently, as she too is a smuggler, and the two of them constantly compete for the rich and eccentric clients who end up on frontier worlds like this one. Whether it's unroasted Coffee beans fresh from a Starbucks Coffee-Basket world, Illicit psychotropic drugs, or really dangerous and extremely illegal guns, Nathan is willing to skirt the law and deskirt the law-enforcers, to get the good folks of LI-420 their goods. For a price. Nathan is a free-spirit, and a gentlemen. As much as he tries to blend in with his corrupt clientele, it's often plain to see that the man has a heart of gold, and a moral compass. Bending that compass costs his clients extra. Somehow he's made it pretty well in the world of grime and crime, despite his "Integrity." He's found himself a steady partner in Diamond Dodd, and promises to take them off this miserable planet one day, so that they can see the stars and live a life of adventure alongside him. You are Blacktron. Comprised of Diamond Dodd, Nathan Mallard, Harriet Stomper, Paul Harkonenn, and Zipzop Beetlejuice, you all win by outnumbering the town. Coordinate here Password is "Rebelscum" You are the Blacktron Infiltrator (Godfather). You have no night action, but when you are investigated, you display as "Loyal to the Federation" Paul Harkonenn (Piratedave84) Race: Human Occupation: Bureaucrat Paul Harkonenn is the bratty son of the Governor of a rich desert world. His powerful father put him on the track to success as early as he could, paying his way through the best schools (not to mention paying for black market intelligence enhancing drugs). Only the best for Paul. Unfortunately, despite all his father's best efforts, Paul grew up to be lazy and cripplingly incompetent. During his first job in the Federation government, he lost track of a few planets by misfiling paperwork, erasing several from the Federation's archives, and nearly caused an interstellar war. It's anyone's guess as to whether these mistakes were accidental, or just childish methods of dealing with his boredom. Regardless, after many failed attempts to get his son to take his life seriously, his Father got him assigned to this backwater planet, in order to make him "man-up". Even as one of the diplomatic liasons stationed here, though, Paul has yet to change his ways. You are Blacktron. Comprised of Diamond Dodd, Nathan Mallard, Harriet Stomper, Paul Harkonenn, and Zipzop Beetlejuice, you all win by outnumbering the town. Coordinate here Password is "Rebelscum" You are the Blacktron "Feed Hacker" (Watcher). You may target a player at night and watch who else targets that player. You may not see what actions are performed either by or to that player, however. 'Rip' Sewer (Captain Nemo) Race: Human Occupation: Miner 'Rip' is a space miner, and shes a week from retirement. She's finished her 10 year shift and she's going home. It's been 10 long years since she's seen her wife or now-11 year old daughter. She watched her daughter grow up from satellite transmissions, and was there for her birthday parties only on a television screen. It's been 10 years since she's picked up her own daughter in her arms and told her how much she loves her, or kissed her caring and understanding wife.... but the family needed money, and 'Rip' has been dutifully mining LI-420 to support them. 'Rip' has endured miserable work conditions, uncaring corporate higher ups, and the occasional Alien parasite, all in the name of supporting her family... and now she's one week from going home. What could possibly go wrong? You are Loyal to the Federation. You have no role. You may help your team by cleverly figuring out who the Blacktron agents are, and voting them to death! Seamus Aaron (Hinckley) Race: Human (mostly) Occupation: Bounty Hunter An infamous bounty-hunter, feared galaxy wide, Seamus Aaron is always on the clock. From disintegrating space pirate motherships, to interplanetary pest control, no job is too repugnant for Seamus. As long as Seamus gets payed, it makes no difference. Seamus was trained from a very young age by the last of a dying warrior race, and therefore knows many archaic battle techniques that have been very useful for the bounty hunting career. Additionally, the ancient warrior race bestowed upon Seamus their form-fitting battle gear with highly advanced defense capabilities, and the power to roll up into a perfect sphere somehow. Seamus is also honourable, and will not fight an unarmed opponent.... preferring instead, to toss them a weapon before opening fire. Despite Seamus' reputation, people are still surprised to discover that he is, in fact, a man. You are Spyrius. You are the Neutral Night Killer. Contracted by Spyrius to sabotage any and all diplomatic relations on LI-420, you may choose to target a player each night to kill that player. Or you may choose not to. It's up to you. You investigate as "Neutral" You win if you survive the game as one of the last 4. You may win with any other faction as long as you survive to the end of the game, and the game ends with four or fewer players. Spyrius will protect you from 1 Night Kill. Vasquez Rodriguez (Lady K) Race: Human Occupation: Space Marine A member of the Rodriguez family has died in every great interstellar conflict in human history dating back to the liberation of Earth from the Hypaxxians. To carry on this honourable tradition, Vasquez Rodriquez enlisted in the Classic Space Federation's Space Marines! Vasquez is honour-bound to die in glorious battle against whomever she deems a worthy opponent. unfortunately for her ambitions of reaching Valhalla, she was stationed on a backwater mining planet marking, or rather, muddling, the border between the Federation, and the Insectoid Empire, and the two have hardly conflicted since they first encountered one another. Until now, she's been pretty bored. You are Loyal to the Federation. You are the Blocker. You may target a player each night and prevent that player from performing their action. Zipzop Beetlejuice (Sir Stig) Race: Beetljuician (One eyed monsterous Space bunny) Occupation: Bureaucrat Zipzop is a self-styled interstellar playboy. Leaving behind him an immense string of scandals and ex-lovers, Zipzop is constantly on the run from his unsavory reputation. He's held many a govenmental office, on countless different worlds, but it always ends up the same for him: He listens to his second head, and ends up in trouble with the public eye. Zipzop believes he's found a safe haven on LI-420, however, since very few people give a damn about the planet, and his salary is still quite good. His only fear is that his first Ex-wife finds him and demands the alimony she is rightfully due. That or his mistress during his stint as Governor of Uranus returns for more cover-up funds. You are Blacktron. Comprised of Diamond Dodd, Nathan Mallard, Harriet Stomper, Paul Harkonenn, and Zipzop Beetlejuice, you all win by outnumbering the town. Coordinate here Password is "Rebelscum" You are the Blacktron Blocker. You may target a player each night and prevent that player from performing their action.
Dannylonglegs Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) As far as analysis on the roles go, I think they're all fine. I'm particularly proud of my win conditions for the SK. I may try something different next time I host though, so don't metagame that. Or do. I can't stop you. The 1-shot bulletproof was added in a post-start review of the game's balance, in which I realized it was not as balanced as I'd hoped it would be. I feel that, as written, the Win condition makes the SK a balancing element as opposed to an ant-town role, and I figured Hink would be clever enough to play it that way, whittling down both factions with his vote and kill. Unfortunately the SK role is typically anti-town, and Hink played it as such for the first 2 nights before realizing that the town was not going to survive much longer at that rate, and his win-condition would not have been met if he continued as such. Also, of course, the game balance was off, so end-game was much sooner than anyone expected. So, That's why I gave the role a one-shot bulletproof. It was too late for me to do anything else really. I should have realized it was unbalanced before starting, as opposed to shortly thereafter. The not-universal backup was designed to make sure the 3 most important town roles (in my opinion) survived. Good thing I did add that. I put it in instead of a watcher before starting to make up for the lost 2 players. I'm also pleased that it served to be one of teh only things still confusing the Scum at the end. The scum watcher might not have been the wisest in conjunction with the investigator. Regardless, though, it's about damn time someone popped EB's "Scum Watcher" cherry. Come on! It's always thrown out there on day 1, and it's not abnormal or broken in any way! I had no idea I was the first. It just seemed so normal to me. What image did you post? Alien 4 Resurrection/defamation of the corpse. Edit: Actual Player Analysis may come later. I'm getting really tired. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited September 26, 2015 by Dannylonglegs
