To be honest, I was a bit lost and confused.  I had figured the trick was to get the alien into Webadict using his voice, then lock his dead body in the brig and everyone wins.


TolyK, why did you kill Think?   Interestingly, I had 50% of the vote at that point.

TolyK you fucked it all up.
I know.

I was trying to get everyone to win, which is why I quoted OB and let him quote me.
It was going good until Dariush stole my gun...  :'(
I wanted to kill OB (DAMN UNSENT PM DAMN YOU FORUM MAINTNANCE), throw Dariush out the airlock with the majority vote, kill think, have Toaster die from gun/pills/my now unblockable nightkill.

Dariush really messed up and I hoped you would think he's a bad dude. It also helped that I didn't have the "silent" ability, whatever that was.
But you guys didn't listen to me  :'( we could've just killed Dariush and had him and Wuba lose. I had even quoted him when I first kicked the BS out of him, discreetly, but I wasn't able to transfer it to him sadly enough :/

I thought that he would have to give you your pills and that you would die after Dariush was lynched. Sadly, he wasn't, and I didn't get to change my action to killing OB.

Heh.
It was actually a very fun game for me, since I had no idea what to do. :P

You also apparently didn't understand that survivors aren't opposing factions.

Survivors can also have a secondary goal.
I didn't know everything you did. ;)

To be fair, I don't think he really knew that he was the only townie.

So, why the fuck did that OB's quote count when Toaster posted between the quote and my post?

Forgetting to send that PM was a honest mistake. I can't think straight with one-day days and one-hour nights. :(

And yes, I did believe alien was a cult leader. Or at least that he was doing something... strange. That Think kill and something cutting in from outside totally fucked my mind, so I kinda panicked.

Awesome game, GG. It would be nice to see more bastards with original mechanics from you.

Quick bastards specifically, or just bastards in general?

EDIT: I personally would have liked to see this game as a longer, full length bastard game. I was sad to see it end!

Perhaps this kind of game, but with no hard time limit, or at least 3 day day? :P

This was awesome.
Your quickies always are, but in my opinion this was the best one thus far.

Thanks, Otto! There were a couple of fun things I would have liked to see get more play (like the ability to transfer the Silence to someone else before Day 4, and Dariush's ability to light people on fire), but overall, yeah, I think this was my favorite as well.

This is what we call "a recipe for the host dropping out halfway through because no one is talking, he just wants the day to end, and he got fed up with this game a week ago".

I actually DID run a similar sort of game, with more time and more players, back in the day, with Cybrids! It was super fun, but took way too long. I'm an impatient person.

Dariush's ability to light people on fire
IMO it was too hard to accomplish. There was no way for me to know who was oiled and an inevitable massclaim would make OB not oil anyone for fear of me killing them.

Well, the obvious solution was to steal the oil. :P

Orangebottle being in the brig for most of that put a crimp in that plan, though.

But yeah, I knew the ACTUAL likelyhood of low - it was balanced so it would probably give you either one kill, or none at all. Since you could ALSO steal the gun, it was just give you a bit more power as a destabilizing force if it came up. It didn't, but I'm not too upset about it really.
