Meph:  For when you get back then.

Was there anything game relevant about the plant area?

And, yeah, just what were the hard numbers behind the mechanics of the game in general?

Waitwaitwait, Jim and Irony didn't have scumchat?  Oh wow.  So when did you guys figure out each other was scum? 

Never for certain.

I apparently had surprisingly good reads about who the traitors were, but since I could never pin them down for certain I never thought I was in a position to do anything other than act independently.

It's scum resonance.  They vibrate on different and more unique waves.  When they get close to one another they start to thrash about violently.

Like when their claims conflict, which explains why neither of them pursued the other.

I... don't know.

I'm thinking it might be this. I thought this was my attempt at winking at Jim, but he only had one post before that and I'm not seeing why I would have thought it was him winking at the rest of us. Hrm.

I know somewhat later he mentioned asked something about "tripping us up," which was certainly more confrimation, but I'm pretty sure I knew already by that point.


So I guess the inconsistancy between Jim's and IO's claims wasn't intentional, then?  I figured you two had a private chat, so that was either intentional (for some reason) or one of you goofed badly.
I wasn't paying attention, so just gave my actual claim instead of ensuring that it matched Jim's. Oops.

To be fair, I still think there was enough going on that that was reasonable.

Nah. In theory we totally could have killed each other without knowing we were on the same team (like Jim did to Shak at the end), but nobody did, and we were the only ones with NKs.

It did keep it off anyone else, though, which could have been a nasty surprise.

Epic setting, Meph, but you promised you'd use some ideas from my offer, you liar. :(

Yeah, I'd been planning on working some of that in, but this idea sort of popped up and took over. I had some good mechanic ideas for this and I kind of had to run with it.

Meph:  For when you get back then.

And, yeah, just what were the hard numbers behind the mechanics of the game in general?

The plants were just there for flavor. I thought it'd be an interesting area to have you guys hide in.

Mechanics-wise, each Traitor had a 50% chance of their 'kill' going off. Each extension raised that chance by 25 points (so, 75% or 100%). Shortening once dropped it to 25% for that night, but shortening again without at least a regular rest period would jump it to 75% and then 100%. If three days were shortened in a row then Flavor Kills would have been added in. Shortening more than a single RL day's worth of time basically works as two or three shortens in a row. So the actual Optimal method for town would have been to cycle single day-shortens and regular days.

The end-game could get a bit complicated. If there were no pilots left, the escape would fail. If there were no scum left and at least 1 pilot, the escape would succeed. With equal or greater scum to escapees, the scum would win. With more town than scum, but some scum left, a mass vote would happen where everyone had to vote each other player if that person could go with them on the ship or not. Anyone with a majority against them getting on the ship would be left behind.

General consensus from everyone on the game? Fun, I hope?

I though it was interesting and bastardly without being unwinnable for anyone necessarily. And having a game consisting mostly of survivors seemed like a very interesting idea.

Yeah, an interesting bastard twist on the usual Paranormal series.  So there really wasn't anything that would have triggered my shield or the DMB in this game, huh?

I should have just taken 4 stun orbs, if repeats were possible.

Not in this set-up, no. But of course, you couldn't have known that. In theory a Doppelganger could still have had a killing role, since they don't need weapons to be deadly.

Was there any special effect for leaving a dopp behind? A little bit of violence followed by a lot more violence followed by some dead guards and a taser?
