Well, no, it's meant to imply that I think it's kind of weird Somber went for a lurker instead of MMM except I very clearly misread something because it doesn't appear that Somber's had any negative opinion about MMM all game.

I'm an idiot who can't read. Nobody is surprised.

I don't buy it, that was scummy as heck even if that's what you meant. You left the end of that sentence open so people would come to the conclusion that Somber's decision was a bad one but if he doesn't flip badguy it won't come back on you. Would vote.

I'm heading to a boardgame night now but I'm gonna reread E+ when I get the chance.

If MMM is scum the content should be there to case him, not so much the case with five.

So if this is lylo then Orvin is scum or else all the scum haven't been to the thread yet?

Oh, or Pig is scum. If Pig was town, all four scum would just hammer to win. If Pig is scum, then the scum need one more person on Orvin. Same thing with Met and MMM. So putting down votes in lylo with zero thought is pretty dangerous!

At this point Pig is either a terrible town player, or a fairly good scum. He has done next to nothing all game and is not called on it. He asked few people to make a list, and just voted with little logic behind it.

I am figuring that I have lost the game, but I might as well take Pig with me. Call it an OMGUS vote, call it giving up, whatever.

From scumdoc d1:

"i think we should all take the uncommon path of controlling discussion
control it between all four of us, be the top posters in the thread
make other people respond to our "cases"
it's harder but it will be immensely satisfying.
anyway that's my plan"

I really wanted to just post post post a ton and try to control the whole thing and I thought we did a good job of that. Rarity just kind of fell into place, but we got Comma dead and then town just devoured itself after that. I thought I was going to get some heat today for my switch to EXAKT last night instead of MMM but nobody seemed to notice. His flip would've hurt me a lot, I think, even though he was bussing me early on D1.

I definitely want to thank everybody who played. It took a bit of effort to get the game off the ground, but I had a great time running it. I hope it was as much fun for you.

As far as design notes go, there's not much to talk about. I basically wanted the balance of a C9 with four scum, so I beefed up the town a little bit and threw in an extra scum (Tommy was the Godfather because everyone forgets he was in the group.) I ran the initial version of the setup past Antivehicular and Taste, and then I ended up tweaking it anyway, adding the Survivor and making the vig every-other-night instead of one-shot. This latter change was simply because a full vig might have been too powerful, but one-shot vig is almost always a SK cover or just boring, and I like when people with powers actually get to use them.

Also, yes, Somber was completely telling the truth about his vig having to reload for a night after firing. I got the idea from this bizarre-rear end claim Ernie made in Secret Invasion involving him being able to withhold a nightcop to make a daycop and I tried to cut it down to something usable, but even that was less than successful:

quote:

Welcome, Somberbrero. You are KN-G33 "Kenji" Ramone, a Town Vigilante Robo-Ramone. Your mission is to find and kidnap the real Ramones, preferably by holding them over your head while running for the door going BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP I AM A ROBOT. You are specially equipped with super Pew-Pew Lasers to help make this happen.

Abilities:

At night, you may select a player in the game to target for a nightkill. You may not select more than one player at a time. You may not do this two nights in a row. You may not "store up" uses of this ability by skipping nights, you will always have to wait to "recharge." You get what I mean.

Win condition:

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.

Yeah I felt really bad for some people in this game, esp EXAKT, somber and MCED. My posting really fell off during the EXAKT somber fight because of that.

Also I was phone posting the whole weekend and it was very irritating! Really stopped me from getting the content I wanted out there.
