I wouldn't mind either way.

[Toaster]

Either.  I hate to see a game go, but six replacements midway through D2 is absurd.

[ToonyMan]

Yeah a reboot would be must enjoyable for me.  I'm guessing that means our roles get rescrambled though?  :[

[Jokerman-EXE]

I guess I can go for either. A reboot wouldn't be my first choice but I certainly won't stand in the way of the majority.

[Max White]

You guys planning to start again then?
I guess I would like to be in on that if you do, otherwise, disreguard this.


Been lurkering this thread for a while now...

[Mephansteras]

Sounds like a reboot is best, then. I'll get the new one open for sign-ups.

Please go over here to sign up for the new game.

[Think0028]

Is it cool if we post our old roles?

[Mephansteras]

Is it cool if we post our old roles?

I'll go ahead and post the role and night pms here so people can see them.

Spoiler: roles (click to show/hide)

Role PMs
--------------

Doppelgangers

You awaken to a deep cold. It surrounds you. The smell of snow and ice permeates the air.

But another scent drifts in on the wind.

The smell of Prey.

Silently, you creep out of the glacial chasm and seek out your prey. Three humans, performing some sort of scientific task in snows. Surprised and unarmed, they barely put up a fight at all.

Pandarsenic
    You are an Advanced Doppelganger, able to shift forms far more rapidly than your kin. While they must wait months to shift, you should be able to change again quite soon. Once per game, if you perform the doppelganger kill, you can turn yourself into the player that you kill. Pandarsenic will cease to exist, your old form seeming to have been killed, and the other player will become a doppelganger. The transformation is not perfect, however, and any skills they had before the transformation will be lost.

Think0028
    You took over the identity and memories of an Intelligence Scientist working on tracking ice flow movements. But it seems he had another project in the works as well.

 Choose one of the Intelligence Scientist techs from the list and PM me with your decision. Feel free to discuss it with the other doppelgnagers first, but keep in mind that you will not be able to use your tech until you send it it.

 In addition, you have a natural Mind Shield that will protect you from any psychic abilities that are used on you.

ToonyMan
    You are the Doppelganger Leader. Your ability to mimic human behaviours is superior to your kin, and you will appear as human even under careful scrutiny.
   
 In addition, you have a natural Anti-Tech Field that will help protect you from any technological gadgets that may be used against you.

The three of you also share a secret connection that lets you speak with one another telepathically.



Hive Mind

Dariush (Alien)
    You are the Hivemind Master. You escaped to this planet for crimes on your homeworld. Here you plan to make use of the weak-willed humans. What you will do with them? Well...that remains to be seen. First you need to establish a strong base here. And to do that you’ll need to deal with the Doppelganger infestation and any other threats to you or your plans.

 Each night you may choose to Convert another player to your cause. You may choose to be either a Psychic Hivemind or a Technological Hivemind, which determines which defenses will work against you. You must make this choice during Day 1. Note that only humans can be converted, and any attempt to convert a doppelganger or another alien will fail as if the target had a mind shield or anti-tech field.

 You and your converts may communicate in secret

 In addition to your Hivemind ability, you also begin with a medium or small tech item. Choose one from the list of tech before the end of day 1.

Bdthemag (Human)
    You served in the army to pay for college. You figured that after you go out of Iraq you wouldn’t have to worry about stuff like this. Maybe a stray polar bear but...science is supposed to be safer! In any case, you’ve decided that you’ll act as a Guardian for the installation. Each night you can Protect another player and prevent them from dying should they be attacked.

--

Darvi (Human)
    Damn alien bastards! Bad enough you served in some nasty business in Baghdad, now you gotta deal with doppelgangers out in this frozen wasteland?? Well, this is one War Vet who isn’t going to just lay down and die! You’ve got a nice rifle you keep handy to keep bears away. You figure it’ll work on aliens just as well. Anyone comes near you at night and they’re going to find themselves short a face!

--

JanusTwoface (Human)
    As a budding Cutting Edge Scientist you figured this was an ideal place to get some good science done. Lots of time to work on personal projects, too. And now it seems that you’ll need to get one of those projects up and running in a hurry! Select one tech from the Cutting Edge tech list.

--

Jim Groovester (Human)
    You served in the Marines to pay for college. You figured that after you go out of Afghanistan you wouldn’t have to worry about stuff like this. Maybe a stray polar bear or something but...science is supposed to be safer! In any case, you’ve decided that you’ll act as a Guardian for the installation. Each night you can Protect another player and prevent them from dying should they be attacked.

Mysteriousbluepuppet (Human)

 As a Military Scientist this wasn’t exactly an ideal assignment. But you needed work and you haven’t proved yourself to any of the companies that you’d rather work for. But at least this place gives you lots of time to work on personal projects. And now it seems that you’ll need to get one of those projects up and running in a hurry! Select one tech from the Military tech list.

--

Toaster (Human)
    You’ve always prided yourself on being an Observant Guard. Not that a facility like this needs much security, but you never know when keeping a keen eye out will solve a problem. And right now lots of problems need solving! Each night you can Protect another player. If they are attacked, you’ll die in their place. But not before getting a look at the attacker and passing it on to the person you’re protecting.

    Sadly, you’re known for being a bit of a Kook. You can only hope that no one mistakes you for one of those monsters...

lordnincompoop (Human)
    You thought this was a strange assignment for an Agent. But, as usual, central command was right. And now you need to use all of your skills and training to stop these monsters. Each night you can Inspect another player to determine what Race they are. You’ll just have to figure out who to make sure the right people get lynched without tipping the monsters off about who you are.

Spoiler: Night 1 Actions (click to show/hide)

------------
Night 1
------------

Bdthemag  Human  Guardian        Protect Jim Groovester  Protects 

 You decide that Jim Groovester deserves your protection most this night. So, after suiting up in some heavy arctic gear you grab a rifle and head off into the snow. You find a safe spot to watch from and hunker down for the night.

 Fortunately, no one attacks him this night and your protection is unneeded. You head off home to grab a few hours of sleep before the next day’s trials begin.
--

Dariush  Alien  Hivemind (Tech)        Convert Jim Groovester  Converts 
     
 You sneak off through the night, seeking out Jim Groovester’s house. Once there you open a small canister hooked onto your belt and pour its contents out onto his doorjam. The nanobots vanish inside.

 Pleased, you head back to your house. It takes a while, but sometime before dawn you get a message on your communicator stating that the assimilation was successful. Your first convert on this miserable planet. Now to get more...

Jim Groovester  Human  Guardian    Tracked    Guard Janus Twoface  Guards, Converted 

 Janus Twoface...he’s a pretty likely target for the dopps tonight. Better make sure they don’t get to him.

 So, after suiting up in some heavy arctic gear you grab a rifle and head off into the snow. You find a safe spot to watch from and hunker down for the night.

 Fortunately, no one attacks him this night and your protection is unneeded. You head off home to grab a few hours of sleep before the next day’s trials begin. After you take off your coat, though, you start to feel odd. A sort of...tingly sensation running through your body. You sit down on your bed, feeling woozy. Images start to flash through your mind. Images of what happened today. The people here at the research station.

 The images start to focus on Dariush. Such a great guy, Dariush. Why, he’s probably the only hope any of you have to survive this. You’ve got to help him out, in any way you can. Otherwise, well, otherwise the Doppelgangers might kill everyone!

(You have been converted by the Hivemind, and have joined that faction. Your win condition is now soley based on Dariush surviving to the end of the game and dominating all living humans. The doppelgangers will need to be killed in order to fulfil this condition. You now have access to the Hivemind quicktopic.
--

Jokerman-EXE  Human  Intelligence Scientist        Make tracking devices 1/2    "Advanced Tracking bots (2)  Tracking Jim Groovester and Pandarsenic"

 You spend a few hours working on your next tracking device before heading off to bed. The next morning you check out the results of your two existing tracking devices.
 - Jim Groovester went to Janus Twoface’s house
 - Pandarsenic went to Toaster’s house
--

lordnincompoop  Human  Agent        Inspect Jim Groovester  Human 

 You sneak off to Jim Groovester’s house and set up some surveillance equipment. After watching him for a bit, you determine that he is, in fact, Human. Good to know.
--

Pandarsenic  Doppelganger  Advanced Doppelganger    Tracked    Replace Toaster  Replaces 

 You head off into the bitter cold. Bundled in human clothing, you barely notice at all. Not that it would bother you much in your natural form, either. And, sightless, the darkness is no different from the light.

 But some things will change this night. Pandarsenic will cease to be, and Toaster shall become your new mask. You wonder what he knows. What new information you will gain.

 Your senses tingle. Toaster is nearby, but not at his house. Interesting. Sneaking through the darkness you find him half-buried in some snow and watching Jokerman’s house. Watchful, but not paying enough attention to his own safety. With a savage grin you rush out and leap upon him. He makes one muffled grunt of surprise as your weight blasts the air from his lungs. With a savage wrench you break his neck. You don’t want any blood to show. Not here, at any rate.

 You drag the body back to your house and consume it, carefully eating the brain so that you can transfer it’s knowledge to you.

 You feel your body shifting, changing. New knowledge floods your brain. A bit fuzzy, with some gaps. But it is there. Toaster....you are Toaster!
--

Toaster  Human (Shows Dopp)  Observant Guard/Kook        Protect Jokerman-EXE  Become Dopp

 Jokerman seems like a good choice to protect tonight. You gather up your gear and head off into the icy darkness. It’ll be hard to see much, but there are enough lights on out there that you should manage to help him if he’s attacked.

 You settle down into some snow, covering yourself to provide a little more cover and insulation, and begin your vigil.

 A crunching in the snow alerts you, but before you can react properly you feel a weight land on top of you. You grunt as the wind is knocked out of you. Incredibly strong hands latch onto you and after a horrifying wrenching feeling everything going dark.

…

 Your eyes are open. You are staring down at your own dismembered body. No...it is not your body. It is the body of the one you consumed. You are a doppelganger...and you are Toaster. And you must finish eating. Must make it look like Pandarsenic was killed instead. The death of that identity will hide the truth of this one. Your mind is fuzzy, though. It seems like you’ve lost something, but you can’t think what it would be.

(You are now a doppelganger, a new form for the Advanced Doppelganger, Pandarsenic. As the new form, you lose any abilities you had before and become a regular Doppelganger.)

[Think0028]

Ahahahah, Toaster totally worried over Jokerman knowing that Panda visited Toaster in scumchat. We got lucky with converting Toaster, and I'm willing to bet that we would've killed Jim at night, which would've made things a lot safer all around. Too bad about Jim convincing people to Lynch All Lurkers. The only question would be if BD kept protecting Jim, which would suck.

Also go scumteam T!

[Jim Groovester]

Meph, what kind of Hivemind was Dariush? I remember some discussion in the rules thread that there were different limitations to who the Hivemind can convert based on whether they picked Tech or Psychic Hivemind, like the tech Hivemind would convert players guarding the intended target instead of the target itself.

Were those all done away with?

Here we go, it was right here. By the differences listed there I should not have been converted at all, because of Bdthemag's protection.

[ToonyMan]

Maybe next game I won't be mafia finally.  :I

Or be mafia with Pandarsenic...again...and again...

[breadbocks]

Just saw the results, and gotta say. Called Dariush being Anti-Town. Called it.

[ToonyMan]

Just saw the results, and gotta say. Called Dariush being Anti-Town. Called it.

Well congratulations.  Make use of that ability next game.

[Dariush]

Nobody asked me about a reboot  I got such an awesome role and I might have finally won... But no...

Well, at least I won't do any stupid mistakes next time.

[webadict]

lol, I told you Toaster was scum.
