I noticed! I paid attention to them and noted that things were going well.

Also woo! Good play, Toaster, Web: too bad I died and cause the loss of both of you. Eheh. Thank god I was the first person to be the alien! That gave me a much better perspective on the whole game.

TolyK: Ohhhhhhh. I see why you did what you did, it was the only way you could possibly win from the position you were in. Still a jerk move, but okay.

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

For those wondering: The primary purpose of the Recorder, as a game item, was this:

Any player with the Recorder could use it immediately after they posted, and thus become immune to the Host's quote power (since the last person to post was dead, and quoting a dead person wasn't exactly useful)

Could it be used to place the host into my body?

No. The Host overrides the player's previous role.

Nope! However, she doesn't know that, and now that she's free, able to talk, AND has night kills, lets see how it goes. ;)

Still two more days left, after all, for shit to go down.

And the others can still want to kill her as a precautionary defensive measure. Remember, the central component of all their wincons is to survive until the end of the game!

Basically, they have stumbled into the winning combination of roles - if they all do absolutely nothing at this point, everyone wins.

Let's see if they can pull it off. :P
(The question I asked was whether there were any anti-alien roles other than TolyK - I think Glyph forgot to cc us in on Dariush's and Think's wincons)

Nope, sorry. If they'd attempted it, it would have returned a failure. That would have just been silly, after all. The Recording was primarily a defensive measure, not a get out of jail free card. :P

Even if it HAD worked, it would have meant you would have lost, since you would have been both the Alien, AND dead. (but it wouldn't have worked, so it didn't matter)

Note: Tolyk never actually tried.

Also Think was apparently the alien originally but not? He PM'd Glyph with a command to morph with OB, but that apparently didn't count as a stolen body for ability purposes.

Wait, so I wasn't the alien to start? So if I just didn't quote anyone until webadict posted his explanation and sat there, we would've won?

No one was the alien "to start". The Host role came into effect, and was applied randomly (to Think0028) on Night One.

He then transferred it to OB, who transferred it to Tolyk.

Mind you, Dariush tried REALLY hard for some unknown reason too!

Only half of you, although all of you.

Maybe Dariush thought the alien was a cult leader of sorts that hopped to the person it converts?

That flavor was magnificent.

I'm still wondering what the hell was up with you, Dariush. You really fucked up this game :C.
