Game End! REBEL VITRY!
SCENE: Earth. Imperial Palace. The Emperor's desk. A wrinkled hand stretches towards the communications button.
This is the Emperor. Give me a status report on the situation on Mars. .... Yes ... Oh, I see. Who?Winners:Hapah - Rebel, Cybrid Sympathizer
Rebel
Snowman, yes? Or how was that Overseer post made? Zombie didn't copy the Imperial Commander...
Jim Groovester/ZombieUrist - Metagen Traitor, Duplicator
First, thanks to
Jim for stepping in and replacing at the last minute. The game could really have been derailed if you hadn't. Good sport, and good vitry!
Second,
really? a survivor with a kill? and an inspection, and an ally, and a way to get more stuff?
Really!?Urist Imiknorris - Rebel Saboteur
I called this D1! Even before Toony asploded me! Sure, my rotten corpse also won a month later, but the real vitry I
feel from this game is that I called UI's alignment D1, and had all others right shortly thereafter, except for Toaster/Hapah; I thought Hapah was the Rebel and Toaster the Sympathiser... this is also a side effect of the Rebel Commander, unlike the Imperial one,
not knowing his Officers at the start of the game. I didn't know I had any or who they were, let alone that they would forget their Officer status and its implications later on.
Think00238 - Rebel (formerly Imperial) Doctor
Yeah, just send me the list of casualties. I'll call their families... what? Think? My trusted First Officer was persuaded by the rebellion? No, it can't be. It must be a different "Think", 0023 or something. The Think0028 I know would never...Toaster - Rebel Persuader, Officer
A hero to the cause, to the last. Scummy as hell, though. Mostly his own fault.
ToonyMan - Rebel Martyr
Bookthras - Rebel Commander
...and a couple of clowns, yes? What, my long forgotten thriced removed great-great-grand nephew was one of them? Well, fuck him. What was he thinking, joining the rebellion, arming another clown with explosives, and then poking him with a stick?? What did he think would happen? Oy!Losers:
Dariush - Imperial Zealot
obolisk - Imperial Commander
borno - Imperial Companion
Who was in charge there? ... really? that bunch of losers? what the hell were you thinking!? We can't be expected to hold the colonies if the Empire fields a bunch of morons to defend them! Report to your superior immediately for discipline, dismemberment, termination and replacement!Tiruin - Metagen Defective, Goad
Fuck it. Nuke the site from.... wait. Did you say it was the TI_RUI_IN glitch unit that was chasing them? Ah, that persistent bastard was still after them even after they killed him again and again, wasn't it? Never mind, hold the nuke order. I'm sure that thing will eliminate the problem. Then we eliminate the ship and it. Yeah. Get the pilots on it. Let's just hope they're not a bunch of morons like the last batch.
Solomon Petresun reviews the screens. So many problems, oh so many. One of these days, I'll sleep....from the depths of Mars, a grave opens briefly, and Tony Petresun's faint voice is heard: "... but this was FUN!"Some additional thoughts, perhaps for another thread:
1)
GG: I submit to you that "non-aligned survivors" are not a good idea. You've never used them, there's little benefit, they just confuse the issue, balance doesn't need them. Please proclaim that
everyone in the game is either Imperial, Rebel, or Cybrid, no other choices. For inspection results just say "failed" instead of "unkown" when blocked or cybrid, leaving the room for the ambiguity.
Jim would have been given the opportunity to convert, but I doubt he'd have taken it.
2)
Dudes: I think one of the points of this game was to teach us that
cybrids don't always convert! There were zero cybrid conversions here, they were never even possible, and yet
everybody at some point or another, during the game and on deadchat and even after the game, were still obsessing about who the cybrids would convert and when.
Cybrids are not (always) cults! That's just one aspect of several the glitches can become. Let's get wise to that. (but GG: formally removing "unaligned" roles will make that easier)
