I am the Burgundy King,

I want to thank my scum team for their hard work, though I wish they were capable of surviving battle better.

I was cursed with low stats. If I could have made it one more night I wouldn't have been such a wimp. :(

Oh wow, hard to read the doc, but looks like I got triple teamed too. Why did you kill your secret scum ally friends?? :)

I wanted to tell them not to kill you Burg, but I just couldn't out you. It felt wrong, even if it would force them to spend their next day only lynching you and give us an edge in the fight.

Haha, yeah, I think you made the right call there, regardless of the outcome.

In hindsight I should have done that though because then the other team would have maybe wasted damage on you and my team would have p0wned the fight

It certainly could lead to interesting strategies for future versions of this game. Like why not fake it and tell your people not to attack an actual town(if the group didn't contain any scum for them to hit anyway) to get some of the same results?

If you had done it and I had somehow survived, I would have argued to that effect.

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Fun game. My Care emerged. The Scumteam in our thread delivered a pathetically limp performance and that disappointed me.

Fair play to diqnol, he did a great job at catching scum this game.

From a scum perspective, a few things:

A: Allowing double lynches pretty much screwed us from the getgo. At that point, it became survival and I couldn't do much to actually guide anything.

B: The range restriction should have been lifted for internal battle actions. Wouldn't have helped much but eh.

C: The shield mechanic was silly and pretty much wasted a power.

CCKeane could have soloed capps at any time so you could have ended the game yesterday... because capps decided not to risk having a shield.

the only lasgun used hit an unshielded player so there were no nuclear explosions :(
there was another lasgun and all sorts of artefacts at sietch tabr which never got seen too.

Blargh, I assumed a shield would have been in play, hence my aiming at apostate. :(

I had hoped one of our guys had a shield, ergo, hopefully a nuclear explosion wiping out that row and putting the other side back in the game.

No such luck, unfortunately.

yeah to be fair i didn't think the spice fields would be attempted day1. i applaud your double plurality day1 though! In the other soldiers games there would frequently be a lot of nodeaths during battle and i wanted battles to be fairly lethal. the deep desert storm was pretty special though.

i guess if anyone feels like sharing how much they hated this game and what they hated please go ahead~

The only thing I didn't like was that I was led to believe that my third ability (Fire team) was a protective ability. It was not.

I also had a shield, for maximum tanking ability.

Despite dying really early on I was really invested in this game, it was great thanks busb and opop, nice job fellow Harkonnen's, I think my build was terrible but if I was killed by artillery I doubt anything else would have helped, nice one AFP both as a scumhunter and leader too. Oh and Sorry to capps for the mean things I said about anime!

I am proud of the vast majority of my harkonnens. 50 conked out a bit but otherwise everyone did a good job.

yeah it was a damage shield, it was poorly worded i admit. in general most abilities were "some flavour about what you do. Exact details of what said ability does." and writing fatigue meant we wrote protect instead of defend or something closer to the ability.

The cross thread banter is one of the most enjoyable aspects of these games, so hats off to capps and diqnol for anthems, inspiring words and slurs to keep the rivalry going.

Thanks for playing everyone! I was vastly relieved that modding this was considerably easier than modding a civgame. And if i didn't mention before thanks Opop for putting in a lot of hard effort, this game is easily at least 50% his creation and modding! Especially when i dropped off the radar for an alcohol riddled weekend.

Good job! Thank you busb and Opop, I'm glad you signed me up for this.

I think I misplayed the battles a bit, my C/R debuff doesn't seem hugely reliable now that I read the mod-doc.
