Octopus Overlords

great...now the game will never end...

lmao....first off... I HATE THE THINGS!!!

i actually believed lars was the thing who infected me...i wanted him to die!!!! yes i admit it!!!

as for post game analysis....I was the last infected.../sniffle....

Silence in this game should be illegal. Silence = instant death. an arrow thru the throat or somethin.

If it helps we actually talked about trying to make you the last as a method of pushing you over the edge.
Glad it worked out that way.

THE THINGS ARE VICTORIOUS!

Congratulations to Caine, rdm and Kraegor, who were the surviving Things at the end of the game.

A history of the game follows.

NB: Genghis was never tested, infected or really participated, and was then removed from the game officially, so this history omits his presence entirely.

rdm and me infected Kraegor. Should Caine had been replaced or something?.. I don't recall him taking any part in the game in the later stages.

Caine dropped out of sight shortly after being infected. We had been trying to grab all of the vocal ones so we could control more of the vote but he then went under the radar on us.

I was on the verge of having him replaced when you all voted for Lars and made the point moot. I had prior to that point been uneasy about removing him as (ulike with Crux) I didn't have his permission to do it - he hadn't responded to PMs I'd sent him. Indeed he appeared to have dropped off the face of the forums altogether - no posts from him since mid-December.

As general levels of attendance/interest in the game had dropped over the holiday period, I didn;t pick up on his altogether more permanent absence as quickly as I might have. With hindsight he could have done with being repalced as soon as Crux was, but here we are.

Oh, and rdm was infected because he kept guessing correctly. We had to shut him up before he burned all of us as we figured he was eventually going to get Bahktosh and Chaosraven tested no matter what we did.

this was my second alpha bad guy position. I am feeling cursed at this point.

Truly the lupo di tutti lupi, Mr Bubbles can always be relied upon for an unending supply of evil, nefariousness, and malefaction!

Well Im glad its over. GOod game.

I think this would work better with a smaller group. The last few turns when it was hit or be done were fun, it was the beginning and middle when it was really just throwing darts blindfolded that weighed it down. I think if you limit the number of players to 9 or 11 it would keep folks interested through out.

BASTARDS!!!

i like bein the underdog so that's why i did NOT want to be a thing heh. and of course to make it to the very end and be turned...son of friggin!?!?!!?MADAODGADfs

I felt guilty bout testin lars since i was sure he was a thing, ironic. but i figured screw RP by golly im gonna kill whoever the hell infected me!!

friggin RDM....

If it helps I had bet Bahktosh and Chaosraven that I could get Lars tested again before I got killed. I lost that one.

<stands there grinning evilly> you should know tranqs don't work on Things.


<o.k. lays there as a pile of ash grinning evilly> sheesh.

What I enjoyed most was killing all of my fellow things...I knew I must've been right and I killed Chaos, Bakhtosh, Remus after infection, right in line with what I had said before infection...I figured the best cover was more betrayal, so I also voted for msteelers, Pr0ner, and Pr_GMR.

But really my desire to do that sped the game up I think. I actually wanted Caine dead betore PR_GMR, but if I had to sacrifice them all, I would've. And I purposely picked Kraegor because for him I thought ending the game in the dark would be the ultimate betrayal.



I tell you what though, I basically played a couple rounds alone since Caine is gone and my new partner didn't know who I was... biggest mistake was upon infecting PR_GMR, only then did you all decide he was a thing, since Crux must've taken too long to vote...which in reality was not true.

The worst part is how close we were to winning (both when I fingered the pack leaving only Bakhtosh alive... and yes I was a scientist doing my job then; and when we were pushing Msteeler for the test to get to maximum capacity and win as bad guys), the anticipation behind the scenes was excellent.



I had a great deal of fun on both sides of this game.

Um... not so much after I burned though.

everybody holds a grudge! <humph>

I woulda voted you or Caine, second...but i was so sure of Lars...AGH!!?!?!?!?!

this is an interesting game format. with a few tweaks to the rules, it might even take less than 6 months to finish a second game!

mm. My next game of this will at the very least start with, say, 12 players.
