[Bookthras]

Woohoo! Toen Vittry! You guys got really lucky with that bomb there, it could easily have gone the other way around... and I totally called it!

Toaster: very well played... up to that Spore Spreader fakeclaim. That was utterly lame! Still, hitting both dopps the same night was truly inspired. Glad to see the Exterminator Win trophy is still available for when I roll it (not fair, you've been Exty what, two or three times already?)

Tiruin: Heh, yeah, sorry. Couldn't resist. And we needed to laugh at you guys to keep deadchat going.

Thanks Meph for a very fun game!

Great game everybody! I enjoyed it greatly, and look forward to the next one. High five, fellow towies!

_{(...also, a request: please don't call it "assbot". It sounds like an automated sodomy device. What's wrong with just "bot"? it's unambiguous enough, there are no other bots... "killbot" would do if you must have two syllables.)}


PPE: Toony: yeah, the dice did play a larger part than usual in town's victory this time. Still, it was great fun.

[Tiruin]

Also town were all incompetent. Me especially.

Thanks UI for that. I'll keep it in mind for the future Paranormals and that info...

* Tiruin desires to borrow Shakerag's shovel for personal punishment...

[ToonyMan]

I'm so mad I'm going to do probability poorly.

The chance of a dopp getting hit Day 2 was 3/7.  43%
_{(the chance of me specifically getting hit was 1/7 or 14%)}
The chance of a dopp getting hit Day 3 was 1/3.  33%

Since we rolled both bad for 1/7 if I remember how that works (multiplication) which is 14%.  Bllurururug

[Leafsnail]

I think the DMB needs tweaking.  If the user could select a target in advance that would at least make it not down to a dice roll.

[ToonyMan]

Vengekills might be even more powerful...but I never see good vengekills anyway so maybe.

[Leafsnail]

I don't think it'd add much extra power to any aliens though, except maybe adding a tiny bit of extra "I'M AIMING MY BOMB AT YOOOU" WIFOM for survivors.  The bomb is only useful for the exty if it leaves noone else alive afterall.

[Toaster]

Awww.  Fun game, certainly!  I knew if my shield blew in the night (which I rather suspected it would) I was in trouble, regardless of any choices I made.  Dariush's double just made things harder.

Dead chat had several things right (you should totally read it for unbiased strategy advice):

1) Sentry Guns would have been a great fakeclaim except for the morning kill bit
2) I totally should have called Dariush on his body double being OUTSIDE his room
3) I feel good about calling both dopps N2
4) By claim time, it pretty much had to be me via process of elimination


Why Spore Spreader?  A touch of RiA.  My claim was all typed up to be a VT/mindshield claim, but that was just too weak.  I was hoping someone would flip agent so I could claim agent op, but that didn't fly.

FUTURE TOWNS TAKE NOTE:  Replicators *cannot* replicate during the day.  I made the bomb N2!  If I could have wait to day, I could have made a shield/bomb/orb as per best choice, but I had to pick earlier than that.



One of these days I'll win as SK in a Meph game- this is my fourth try!

[Toaster]

Toaster, why did you kill Shakerag?

Oh yeah UI, if it makes you feel better, I nearly shit my pants when I read this.  You ALMOST dragged out a fakeclaim from me here, admitting to visiting him.  I went to simple denial at the last minute.

[Jim Groovester]

Now that there's been a game where the Deadman Bomb actually is an issue, I don't like its random nature. Having the difference between a victory or loss being determined by a coin flip isn't a very cool or fun way to resolve games.

[Mephansteras]

I agree. We'll need to look at the deadman bomb a bit. This is the first time it's really swung a game quite so much.

Here are the Role PM's & Night Actions

Spoiler: Role PMs (click to show/hide)

--------------------------------------------------
Doppelgangers

The three of you awoke in the basement, knowing little other than hunger. You found a few stray humans in a downstairs room and soon gained both identities and purpose.

You need to eliminate the rest of the humans here and take control of the facility.

blackmagechill (Doppelganger)
    You consumed a human who was researching psionic capabilities. You are a Psychic Warden. Each night you can choose to block another player using the Ritual of Subdual. This is a Psychic ability so you do not need to leave your room to use this action.

ToonyMan (Doppelganger)
    You consumed one of the janitors, and therefore gained no particularly useful skills. However, you are a rather Tough Doppelganger and very difficult to kill.

Dariush (Doppelganger)
    You consumed one of the scientists in the building. You are a Cutting Edge Scientist, working on some top secret tech. You may choose one of the Cutting Edge techs from the mad scientist list.

The three of you can communicate in secret with one another using an innate psychic link.

Spoiler: Night 1 (click to show/hide)

Bookthras   Human   Heroic Guard            Protect ToonyMan   Blocked

 After fixing up the office you’ve claimed as your temporary home a bit, you start gathering up the stuff you’ll to go guard ToonyMan.

 You feel a chill come over you, and you stop to look around. A tightness starts to surround you, constricting your arms and legs. You struggle, trying to get away, but whatever is doing this follows you.

 You stagger against  wall, the tightness growing stronger. You start to feel light headed, and slump against the wall. The last thing you remember is sliding down to the floor.

 You wake up the next morning with a pounding headache and a stiff neck from sleeping so awkwardly. But other than that you seem to be ok.
--

Dustylou2   Human   Heroic Guard            Protect Jim Groovester   Protects, Dies

 After fixing up the office you’ve claimed as your temporary home a bit, you start gathering up the stuff you’ll to go guard Jim.

 Pistol in hand you head off to the part of the building you know he’s staying in.

 As you get close you see another figure ahead of you. The hallways are pretty dark, since the emergency power doesn’t power all of the lights. But...something seems off.

 The figure turns a bit near jim’s door and you can see smooth head, the clawed hands. Cursing you open fire with your pistol, shouting at it to leave.

 The monster staggers back as one of your shots hits it. With a snarl, though, it quickly turns on you. With inhuman speed it rushes down the hallway, dodging every bullet.

 As it gets close you hear the click of the gun. No ammo! No time to reload.

 Run!

 You turn just in time for it to slam into your back. Sharp pains erupt over your body.

 Death is swift, at least.
--

Hapah   Human   Telepath            Investigate Jim   Survive

 You settle down in the office you’ve commandeered for yourself. Might as well be a little comfortable while you’re stuck here. This one even has a couch to sleep on!

 And some tasty candies in dish. Always plus.

 But before you sleep, you need to exercise your talents a bit. You descend into a trance and slowly let your mind free of your body. You let it drift up to the space of thoughts, where the world is dark except for the shimmering lights of your coworker’s minds.

 You fly through the darkness, skimming by the lights until you come across Jim’s. Dipping down you feel the timbre of his thoughts. The surface echoes and reflections of what he is thinking. Much is unclear, as always, but you get strong desire to Survive from him.

 You return to your body, tired but content. You have learned something. Hopefully it will help you tomorrow.

--

Jim Groovester   Alien   Survivor               Protected 

 You sit in the room you’ve claimed, looking at the door.

 Will they attack?

 Will the Deadman bomb work? You finger it, nervously. You don’t really want to die, of course, but if they try to take you down at least you can take one down with you.

 The evening drags on. You grow weary.

 You’re shocked back to alertness by the sound of your door handle rattling.

  Your pulse begins to race. You can feel the chemicals of fear rush into your veins.

 Then gunfire, and shouting! The door handle stops rattling. Footsteps pound on the floor outside.

 Close! Very very close!

 The gunshots are rapid. Then a scream, and a thud. Then silence.

 Nothing else happens near you that night. But you do not sleep well.

--

Shakerag    Human   Townsperson/Anti-Tech Field               Dies

 You awaken to the door of your office being opened. Your instincts kick in and you roll to the floor, crouching as you try to see what is going on.

 A figure in the doorway.

 A flash of light.

 Pain. So...much...pain...

 Another flash of light.

 Darkness.

--

Toaster   Alien   Exterminator/Mind Shield            Exterminate Shakerag   Kills

 You easily find Shakerag’s room. A nice cosy office, well away from where everyone else is. With the doppelgangers around you can’t trust anyway, so it’s a sensible idea.

 Makes your job easier, though.

 You carefully pick the simple lock and open the door. He immediately rolls onto the floor off the couch he’s sleeping on and gets into a defensive crouch as he tries to figure out who and what you are.

 Good instincts.

 You blast him with your plasma pistol. He gasps and collapses to the ground.

 Good...but not Good enough.

 You shoot him in the head for good measure and quickly slip out of the room.

 Nice and easy. Just the way you like it.

--

ToonyMan   Doppelganger   Tough Doppelganger            Kill Jim Groovester   Protected

 You head out into the silent hallways of the building. You can sense you prey, somewhere ahead on this floor. The bloodlust begins to fill you, and you grin in anticipation of the warm blood you’ll soon be feasting on.

 You creep near the door to the room he’s claimed, and jiggle the handle. Locked, of course. Not that busting it down will be a problem.

 Before you have a chance to, though, you hear a shout from down the corridor. You turn just as a figure fires off a pistol at you. The bullet slams into your shoulder. Painful, but more enraging than anything else.

 You bolt down the hallway at him, using your inhuman speed to dodge the rest of his shots. You can hear the gun click as he tries to fire more shots off from an empty clip. Moments before you reach him he drops the gun and turns to run. Too slow, though. You slam into him, knocking him to the floor as your claws rip into him.

 The rage and bloodlust mean you do a bit more damage to him then you’d planned. No matter, you scoop up the body and head off to the others. You need to heal, and fresh meat will help with that.

 Jim will just have to wait his turn to die.

--

Urist Imiknorris   Human   Telepath            Investigate Toaster   Blocked by MS

You’ve taken over a small break room to use as your temporary home. There is a couch here, coffee pot, and a vending machine. Not bad. Not as good as home, but not bad.

But before you sleep, you need to exercise your talents a bit. You descend into a trance and slowly let your mind free of your body. You let it drift up to the space of thoughts, where the world is dark except for the shimmering lights of your coworker’s minds.

You seek out Toasters thoughts. Odd, though, they seem dimmer than the others. Curious, you try to dip down to see what is going on, but you just sort of bounce off. You try again, with no success.

Disappointing, but it seems you won’t be able to get past his mental defenses. You return to your body, tired and frustrated. Maybe tomorrow night you’ll have better luck.

--

blackmagechill   Doppelganger   Psychic Warden            Block Bookthras   Blocks

 You sit down at the desk in the office you’ve commandeered to be your room. You pull out a candle and a length of chain, setting the candle alight and wrapping the chain around a finger.

 In a low voice you start to chant the words of the Ritual of Subdual. As the chant drones on your mind begins to slip free of your body.  The realm of thoughts surrounds you, a darkness punctuated only by the lights of the people in the building.

 Seeking through those thoughts you find those of Bookthras. There you cast out the spiritual form of the Chain, wrapping it tightly around him. He struggles, but all that does is wrap the chain even tighter. You can feel the energy leave from him, and soon his sparks grows dim.

 You return to your body, confident that he won’t be doing anything this night.

Spoiler: Night 2 (click to show/hide)

Dariush   Doppelganger   Cutting Edge Scientist            Kill Toaster   Protected, double dies in morning     

With the loss of ToonyMan, the task of hunting down your enemies falls to you. You ready your body double, power it up, and put the headset on. All set to take it out to hunt down the suspected Exterminator, Toaster.

You walk the hallways, seeking out the room he’s claimed.

As you draw near you can sense him. Even though you know it’s just the body double, you feel the blood lust rising within you.

He’s just around the corner. You burst into motion, slinging around the corner.

He’s caught off guard, your claws ripping into him. He staggers backwards and then ducks into a roll. Blasts of energy rip past you and slam into the wall behind you. He’s got some sort of weapon in his hand. You dodge back behind the wall. More blasts follow. No sense going that way.

You leap up and clamber up through the ceiling tiles. Maybe you can drop down him. You scramble along the beams and drop down.

The corridor is empty. He’s fled. But you can hope that he’s hurt enough to die anyway.

You search around a bit, but there is no sign of him. Best to head back. You don’t want to walk into an ambush.

As you walk by a conference room you see a shape rise up into the air. You barely have time to register it before flashes of energy rip through the body double.

Your ears are full of static. Cursing, you rip the headset off. Things just keep getting worse.

--


Hapah   Human   Telepath            Investigate Tiruin   Find       

Once again you let your mind free from your body. Once again you float through the blackness, seeking the spark that is one of your co-workers. This time, it is Tiruin.

 You skim down through his thoughts, sampling the ones on the edge of his consciousness. It’s difficult to piece much of it together, but you do sense that he is trying to Find something.

--

Mr. Dwarfinton   Human   Psychic Warden            Block blackmagechill   Blocks       

You sit down at the desk in the office you’ve commandeered to be your room. You pull out a candle and a length of chain, setting the candle alight and wrapping the chain around a finger.

 In a low voice you start to chant the words of the Ritual of Subdual. As the chant drones on your mind begins to slip free of your body.  The realm of thoughts surrounds you, a darkness punctuated only by the lights of the people in the building.

 Seeking through those thoughts you find those of blackmagechill. There you cast out the spiritual form of the Chain, wrapping it tightly around him. He struggles, but all that does is wrap the chain even tighter. You can feel the energy leave from him, and soon his sparks grows dim.

 You return to your body, confident that he won’t be doing anything this night.

--

Toaster   Alien   Exterminator/Mind Shield            Kill blackmagechill, Assassin Bot Dariush   Kills, Shield Protects, Assassin Bot       

You take out the Assassin bot and give it its orders. It beeps a few times and then floats off through the corridors.

And now it is your turn. Time for blackmagechill to die.

Getting to his room is fairly simple, although you take your time and ensure that you are not spotted by anyone on the way.

Once there you quietly open the door. He sits, half asleep and slumped in a chair. A few quick blasts of plasma and he’s put to rest for good.

Satisfied, you head back. Keeping a wary eye out for the doppelgangers. You suspect that you’re a prime target for tonight.

As you near your room your suspicions are confirmed. A figure darts out from behind a corner, claws slashing. Your shields protect you, but you are staggered back by the blow anyway. With a quick roll you dodge away from the next attack and pull out your blaster. Hot plasma burns past the monster and scorch the wall behind it.

The creature has quick reflexes and darts back behind the corner. You fire a few more warning shots and then slip back into an open office and set up and bead on the door.

You hear sounds from the ceiling, and then a thump outside. It must have tried to drop down from above.

You wait for a while, weapon out, but it never shows itself. Perhaps it’s given up for the night. Perhaps it thinks you’re dead.

In any case, you return to your room.

The next morning you check on the status of the Assassin Bot. Success.

Things are looking up!



--

Tiruin   Human   Telepath            Investigate Hapah   Blocked

 You sit down on your couch and prepare to let your mind go free. But as you meditate, you feel a strange presence draw near. There is a cold tightening around you, as if invisible chains had grabbed hold of you. Your eyes snap open, and you try to move. Your limbs are held fast, though, and all you mange to do is roll onto the floor.

 The more you struggle the tighter the chains become. Even worse, you can feel your energy being drawn from you into the chains. Your movements become sluggish, your eyes heavy, and your thoughts dimmed.

 You awaken the next morning with a splitting headache and quite a few sore muscles. But you seem to be otherwise unhurt.

--

blackmagechill   Doppelganger   Psychic Warden            Block Tiruin   Blocks, Blocked

You sit down at the desk in the office you’ve commandeered to be your room. As you did the night before, you pull out a candle and length of chain.

In a low voice you start to chant the words of the Ritual of Subdual. As the chant drones on your mind begins to slip free of your body.  The realm of thoughts surrounds you once again, and you gaze out over the glimmering lights that pierce the darkness.

Seeking through those thoughts you find those of Tiruin. You fling the spiritual Chain over him, and feel it draw taut. His spirit struggles, but to no avail. Soon his energy begins to dim, and you know that you have been successful.

As you head back to your body you feel Chains wrap around your mind. Your eyes snap open and you try to move, only to feel the chains tighten. Cursing, you try to summon the energy to throw off the Ritual. But it is no use. Your mind, already tired from your own Ritual, is rapidly sapped of its remaining energy.

You slump in your chair, your body tired beyond belief. As you are about to slip into unconsciousness you sense a figure entering the room.

There is a bright flash of heat, and pain.

 The Darkness wraps around you, and your soul floats into the void.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Why Spore Spreader?  A touch of RiA.  My claim was all typed up to be a VT/mindshield claim, but that was just too weak.  I was hoping someone would flip agent so I could claim agent op, but that didn't fly.

I was wondering why anyone bought your claim for more than ten seconds.

[Dariush]

WHAT THE TRIPLEFUCKING SHITASSCRAP FUCK FUCK MOTHERFUCKING SHITFUCK?!

Why did TWO aliens who lose after their deaths pick fucking DEADMAN BOMBS?! Apart from 'to spite everyone else', of course.

Why did two deadman bombs randomly hit dopps? I refuse to believe RNG can be so FUCKING ASS. YOU SET IT UP, MEPH. FUUUUUUUUUUU.

I had a FUCKING PERFECT PLAN. I tunneled Toaster from nothing into lynch and could single-handedly win dopps the game.

FUUUUUUCK. FUCK YOU ALL. FUCK TOASTER. FUCK JIM. FUCK TOWN. FUCK EVERYONE.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Dariush]

Also everyone alive on D3 was a non-flavor-reading idiot. Body double outside the room = guaranteed dopp. Tsk-tsk.

[Dariush]

I haven't lost a mafia game in awhile (like four or five games in a row) while Dariush has lost a lot recently

Oh fuck you Toony. I've only lost thanks to getting randomly blocked at inconvenient times (like in last RL). I haven't been lynched on a scumslip in like a year. Well, maybe a bit less.

Dariush claiming a dopp military scientist shot him with the bot and didn't use his kill at the same time, which is totally possible, is dumb.

He should've blamed it on Toaster and accused Tiruin of being the final dopp for being evasive about his claim.

I couldn't blame it on Toaster, since I needed a scapegoat for a dopp, with an explanation for the lack of NK. I couldn't blame it on Tiruin either, since I needed a Mr.D lynch to get rid of a warden. Yes, that was dumb on my part, I should've continued pushing my Mr.D case. Also, I totally forgot that a dopp MS can use both an assbot and a regular NK in the same night. Oh well.

Also, reading the deadchat. I didn't realize that Toaster would take a deadman bomb, since using it properly would require him to survive to D4, which is quite hard, since I knew that he's the Exty and town had a warden. Also, Toaster lynch was pretty much guaranteed. Why would I claim?

Well if they can get Toaster lynched and he doesn't have a bomb for some reason then this will be a very easy town win. They could even block Dariush this night.

Lulz. No, town would still be fucked. I would no-kill for Telepaths to get a Survive result on me. If by some chance only Mr.D would target me (without any Telepaths), I'd claim that he's lying and town would believe me. And finally I had absolutely no doubts that I'd be able to lynch him on D4.

Assbots.

[Toaster]

(hur hur assbot)

My plan from the start was to load up on LYLO breakers.  Here's the thing- if Dariush had died N2, then it would have been me and three townies D3.  All I would have had to done is get a no-lynch through and I would have a guaranteed win.  Losing my shield and hitting a body double put me in a bad situation.


Anyone who thinks the SS claim was dumb- what would you have claimed?
