Oh, wow, sorry merk. Nice call on ANarc.

Also, I was starting to doubt Rarity too but she had also kind of disappeared.

I feel like Merk and Ecco were so powerful thread-wise they just allowed our scumteam to sit back and chill.

I liked my ability and never got to use it. I had 5 strength but could take a hit for another player I targeted. If I was ever wounded, my strength was DOUBLED. I was like a FIGHT DOCTOR.

They really did and that was why everyone wanted merk to look at someone other than Ecco. It really would have helped.

Here's my PM:

quote:

You are Achilles, Legendary Hero
Combat Skill: 7, Offerings 0

Tall Poppy: (passive) Refuses to go into battle unless it is a defensive battle (ie Greek ships or camp), or is the recipient of a God’s boon or curse, or Patroclus is dead
Duelist: (melee) picks a player, compares combat skills, the loser takes a wound,
Murder Machine: (ranged) picks 2 enemy players. if Achilles has a greater combat strength than both players combined, they both take a wound

You are Achaean (Town) aligned and win when the foolish Pinterest Mom is dead!

Yeah I could heal one wound per night, and targeted Asiina both times.

I could also guide the wrath.

I was basically useless in battle unless I guessed someone's combat skill correctly before battle began, in which case I got an insta-kill. :toot:

Yeah I noticed the numbers early on but general Governor/Dayvig scaredness scared people off, then the fakeclaims Bif and tithin got ended up being super implicating and it was just OH GOD IF TNL SHOWS UP WE WIN IF NOT WE'RE DEAD

Agreed. Rarity is always really good scum, though.

TNL had a poison gruel ability that gave -2 to combat stats, it was probably that from whoever had the ability in your guys' thread

If I hadn't been so tunneled on Ecco, I think I might have gotten Rarity d2. I had some really negative thoughts about how she was approaching an obvious Ecco lynch. That's great to say now that the game is over and all, but it's good as a takeaway for me and maybe also for Rarity. You were too negative on Ecco without putting out someone you wanted to lynch instead in a persuasive way.

I had a 2 combat but if me and Madman were in battle together it would double our combat scores, so he'd be unbeatable basically. If he died my combat score dropped to 0.

Yeah, that was probably it then. I didn't know if I was poisoned or just debuffed.

Also, seriously, did I have the best combat skill and never get used in the fight?

First up: apologies.
This was not modded to my usual standard. After the initial delay (I still haven't heard form highwire in about a month!), which really messed with game enthusiasm, I made two significant errors in the game.

Diqnol: should not have died N1, as he was immune to combat wounds from resolution.
Verr: Accidentally wrote merk into his night action results when it was his OWN buff from his action that i noted, not merks.

I made a couple of other small errors, such as missing that assna's cop was an illegal action. I'd caught about 5-6 illegal actions n1 but this slipped through. Also not changing the flavour of Bif's character to Priest of Poseidon was silly, it was a holdover from highwire's flavour and i didn't spot it - but Laocoon was a legit character.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Trojan_War_characters#Individuals
every character in the game was taken from this list, i didn't really distinguish between the Iliad or the Aeneid though.

Lastly, I think that the game motivation spilled into player care. There were a lot of replacements in this game, and due to the nature of the game modkilling in one thread and not the other doesn't really work - which is what really tipped the scales into the Achaen thread's favour.

There's probably more, but yeah.
I don't feel too sorry about Pinterest Mom bailing. He knew there was a deadline and i told him i was going to RNG if cckeane refused because he had told me he wouldn't have time for 3 hours to submit his battle party. I think he must have just been having a really poo poo day or something.

You guys won battle 1 because tithin and I murdered the poo poo out of Lumpen. I didn't realize our combat scores still counted towards the thread we were spying for, so I'm pretty surprised our backline lost with Amoeba as a legendary archer whatever that means and me having 6 combat.

I called you playing a deep scum game and then ignored it at my own desire to lynch Ecco. :(
