[oblivion]

I seriously came close to going after you with a vengeance. You kept reminding me of th1nk3r's werewolf game.

that's not fair. My game this time around was much tighter than that abysmal showing. That game was probably the worst I've ever played yet.

it was the chit-chat. hard to explain. I've gotten very touchy about scum teams incorporating me in their substrategy at TR by distracting me and using me to distract town. That was actually part of why I was giving irre squinty-eyed looks earlier in the game, too.

[Zigmen]

Points of interest along the way . . .

Feck was Ghat's NK target, but Denny protected Feck on N2.

Ironically, it was Denny who killed Feck later on.

The Zombie moves were decided by Random.org, and spelled the downfall for the Scum team. Bad rolls of the dice, there!

I figured a 4 member scum team was a bit Scum-Heavy, thus the Zombie's pro-town balance. I had no idea it would make that much difference,

I thank you all for participating in this very experimental game. I learned a lot about balance, and when to allow random decisions to make such an impact on the outcome.

I'll probably not do that risky of a game again, but will switch back to a more balanced and traditional game.

The next 2 weeks are pure mayhem for me. I'll do my best to play the next game, skip the one after that, and be ready to GM again by Halloween or so, but not before then.

Thank you all again!!!

[oblivion]

Who was the vig?? Good work!

[oblivion]

aaah...it was ghat. I had a feeling.

[Zigmen]

Yeah. Ghat was about the best Vig I've ever seen. Ever.

[Uselesstwit]

wheee, well done town.

good game scum, always a pleasure to be kept guessing.

Thanks for the game zig.

[oblivion]

Yeah. Ghat was about the best Vig I've ever seen. Ever.

You didn't see irre in the dune game.

[oblivion]

very enjoyable game, zig!

I know what you mean about finding the right mix when you add random stuff to a game. The tarot game suffered a little from that aspect. The scum team overcame several bad rolls of the random numbers. The dice definitely favored town in that game. The scum team just played really, really well.

[Azathoth]

great game guys, thanks for running it Zig

[oblivion]

I think I mentioned this during the game and I want to reiterate it. the quality of play here at ratz has skyrocketed. I don't think a hot shot stranger will ever be able to join a game here and get away with what I did in the Spooks game a few months ago.

[charlou]

It was a fun game, Zig .. really liked the zombie play aspect - both being able to continue contributing and the tension and uncertainty it added in the end.

oblivion, I agree on the quality of gameplay here .. even the new players seem to catch on quickly.

Thanks all!

[Uselesstwit]

It's gotten a lot more fun as well as more difficult. These are great games. My only complaint is that some people are still hiding in the shadows a bit and that never helps town.

Trash zigmen said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Hi guys! Please remember to tell me who among you is making the actual kills at night. Thanks!

Trash said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

hello

Trash Feck said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Oh good I’m Ebil ..Hello guys I’m off to read the rules .
what time zones are you all in ?

Trash Feck said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Games played in EST are a bit of a pain ..say bye bye to my sleep again !

so far thoughts for the first night kill IRRE there seems to be tension between Irre and oblivion .

Trash Feck said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

scratch that ..Irre voted for DP can’t NK Irre .

Trash Sciencerob said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Oblivion seems teh logical choice to me.

Trash Feck said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

or someone quiet it gives town no info and they won’t be protected
?

Trash Evil again said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I think we should kill Feck, that guy is always gunning for me.

Trash Sciencerob said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Well technically killing oblivion gives no info, although she seems likely to be lynched. Any ideas who else we should go for? Also how long do we have to decide who to NK?

Trash Feck said… (11 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

night moves normally have to be in an hour before the end of night .

Trash Morticia said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I’m thinking of Charlou or UT for NK. Thoughts?

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I’m thinking Charlou anyone else there?

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I think we have to hurry up with.

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

ON second thought, UT, Charlou has the hit on, Mort. Charlou is too dangerous to vote on right now.

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Just realized that three of us voted for a Town that is likely to be lynched. DIdn’t notice until it was too late. Sorry :\

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

night talk is allowed so we should wait ..quite right SR and Mort try not to vote for the same people this early in the game .DP Stop having a RL and play Mafia !

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

How long should we wait though? 10AM est is 7AM PST, meaning as my first college class starts. I have a girl coming over in the morning so I doubt I will be able to handle it then. Meaning, in the next 3-4 hours we should decide, in my opinion.

As far as the voting mistake, I don’t think anyone suspects me, maybe.

Trash Dp said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I should be around more this evening feck, I think charlou or oblivion for the night kill.

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Charlou has been onto both SR and Mort , but Oblivion is Mayor and might be protected. I think charlou has a role I’m going to do the Kill on Charlou .

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

PM sent to Zigmen

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Agreed.

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

SHIT SHIT SHIT

Trash Morticia said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Dude WTF happened overnight. I think we should try to figure out who the vig is before they get it right again. Any thoughts? Irre maybe?

Trash Morticia said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

On second read…Denny may be the vig…

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

This whole thing is unpleasant… to think they would get the DOn like that…

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

can only guess at the vig is it one of the power players or someone quiet ????

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

I don’t even think anyone has said anything enough to even finger someone. Denny is only slightly possible so I don’t know. I think a slight chance of Denny being it, just a vague sense from his comments, but maybe that is just because of how he plays?

Trash Feck said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

UT Irre or Ghat if we even get a a NK !

Trash Sciencerob said… (12 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

How does the whole protection thing with the mayor work?

Trash Feck said… (13 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

one of the roles is the doctor ,they can protect one player each night against a night kill ,Often the doctor will protect the Mayor on the first or second night as they assume we will try to kill the mayor .

Trash Sciencerob said… (13 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Ideas on the ViG/Sk?

Trash Sciencerob said… (13 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

cough Cough MOrticia, you alive?

Trash Sciencerob said… (13 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

Damn time zones!

Trash Morticia said… (13 Oct 10, looking at version 1) Indicator

sorry guys rl just kicked my ass. I just got home.

Trash Morticia said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

I haven’t had a chance to catch up completely. I have been gone for about 12 hours. I am probably mad suspect in the thread for that. I will post a quick explanation and pick up tomorrow. I would still say Denny for NK. Unless I really missed something that makes that a bad idea. I defer to Feck for decision making in the case I don’t wake up in time. I will try. Today was hell.

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

Denny or UT. UT has been rather passive through this making me think he might be the doctor or the Vig.

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

I might not respond again before daybreak so those are my ideas. I’ll leave it in your hands as well Feck.

Trash Feck said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

denny or Ut I like that but also Irre and oblivion ….. must catch up on the thread before I decide ,do either of you two feel that denny or UT has been FOS’ing you much ?

Trash Feck said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

We missed a kill …(seems strange a good friends dad died today ) Still it’s all good towns vig found the doc !

Trash zigmen said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

To be clear, you guys killed the Doc.

Trash Feck said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

oh and I have the brains again .

Trash Feck said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

ok my brains mush today

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

It seems i picked the right guy.

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

I think we should take out oblivion. I think she is a dangerous player.

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

Morticia, you need to start being active if you can or you will die today.

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

I gather you are busy. Unless you get on and start to say persuasive things or shift suspicion I can’t change my vote on you. ;\

Trash Sciencerob said… (Yesterday, looking at version 1) Indicator

By some stroke of luck… you didn’t get lynched…

Trash Sciencerob said… (~24 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Fuck fuck. Damn zombies… down to 2 of us with 1 person likely to be lynched tomorrow.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~23 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

If you have time to read through and think about it, I picked UT as the NK, mort. He has been active yet not, leading me to think he is the Vig. Oblivion has too big of an eye on me at the moment and I have just managed to convince Irr that I’m town so we need to keep him. Suspicion of Town is big on Ghat and MZ so I think we can let lynch votes take care of that.

Trash Morticia said… (~23 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I’m ok with the NK on UT. Do you want to send Zig the pM or should I. I’m sorry I have had life issues. I’m surprised I’m still alive.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~23 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Yeah, I am so shocked at the last minute changes. The last 15 minutes swayed the votes away from you. If you can make a few posts tomorrow, I think MZ or Ghat will get lynched tomorrow. I’m hoping to influence the swing to Ghat. I already PM’d Zig, so we’re good. No problem about RL, it happens.

Trash Morticia said… (~22 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Awesome. I will be around for a bit tonight and will try to be here at my normal time tomorrow.

Trash Feck said… (~18 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

hope things are OK in RL Mort ?
Bloody Zombies !
I hope I confused them enough for you to make it .
you need to find the seer !

Trash Sciencerob said… (~15 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I’m a sniper. I got both specials two days in a row!

Trash Sciencerob said… (~15 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I don’t like the way these rules work so that he was able to clear Ghat, fuck.

Trash zigmen said… (~14 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Because Zombies are not dead in this game.

Trash Feck said… (~13 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

got the seer ! well done ! and neither of you had been viewed ,that’s a relief .

Trash Morticia said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Sweet.

Trash Feck said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

hang on ..the maneki says he has the brains but town are not going to vote for him
if we (DP and I)do is there a chance that we could turn him ?

What time do zombie votes have to be in by EXACTLY ? and when do the brains change hands Exactly ?

Trash Feck said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Bollocks they have just realised !!!!!!!!

Trash Feck said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

some one is claiming to have had the brains on day three which is odd because I did
2 brains ?

Trash Morticia said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I have the brains today. Vote for me if they don’t. At least there is a chance of creating another scum.

Trash Morticia said… (~12 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I think two people have them per day.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~10 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I’m trying to think of a strategy where we can win this. I don’t think its possible.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~9 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Thinking about it, we need both of our zombies to vote Mort, to try to turn a zombie to our alignment. Tonight we will NK Ghat. We have to hope that denny or the new person who comes to life is Mafia. I think Ghat is the vig, he has not been making that much noise and is thus suspect. I am going to try to convince the Town to vig kill Themaki, I will dig up through his posts and try to find something that makes him look bad. That means the town will be down to Irr, Oblivion, Denny and 1+ person who might have turned. Of course if we don’t do that and instead don’t try the undead ploy, we would be down to Irr, Oblivion and Denny. Between Denny and myself, I would be chosen, I think.

Musing over this, I think the best option is to not bring someone back and it will be up to me to convince Town to kill Denny, leaving me free to NK Irr.

So many variables to get to the point of pulling this off. Anyone have any comments?

Trash Sciencerob said… (~9 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

On second thought, I don’t know how to do it. I am trying to think of what to say to increase suspicion of themaki. Given this, to increase our odds I think that we have to have our zombies go for Mort.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~9 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

I think that I needed to raise suspicion of him yesterday, today they have him too firmly as town.

Trash Sciencerob said… (~7 hours ago, looking at version 1) Indicator

Well, looks like this is wrapping up. I’m hoping we get someone raised from Mort(seems unlikely but i don’t full understand scum zombie mechanics). I think Irr can’t be vig or I would be dead already. Not sure if the mafia shot goes first or Vig shot goes first, either way I will be going after Ghat. THe vig is either ghat or Oblivion.

[Rob]

It seems my special radar as excellent. My first day choice to NK would of been UT until others swayed me. After that every night I picked a special. I don't know how to rate my play as this was my first mafia game. If posting Mafia discussion is some sort of faux pas do let me know. And also rate my performance. :>

[irretating]

Good shot, ghat
