BackStabbery II: Night's Peril - Game Thread

[Fawkes]

Do houses Alarra and Shadow have Lieutenants?

[Murska]

Indeed they do.

[Darkcomet]

I don't think so. At least House Kaos retained a lieutenant from that conspiracy that has been going on since before the game started.

[Murska]

Weren't Aemoh and Banjo chosen as Lieutenants aswell?

Well, I'm not sure based on the first post updating with some lieutenants and not others.

...

Wait.

Why am I bothering talking to you? *shuns Murska*

[Murska]

What did I ever do to you? None of us three harmed you in any way and besides, the Houses are just for show since the important victory is the personal one.

[Darkcomet]

Maybe I don't appreciate being the victim of a betrayal plot that was around *before the game even began*.

[EagleWiz]

Ahh, what the heck. Might as well go on an adventure. Eagle Wiz

[Selrahc]

I'm going to nominate Shadowcaller for the adventure. May he have much success.

[Murska]

GoC wanted to adventure but forgot to state it in blue.

[happyturtle]

GoC seems the adventurous sort.

[Lex-Kat]

Just in case it was somehow missed, Banjo1985 is my Lieutenant, and Murska WAS my other one.

[Darkcomet]

Good luck on the adventure, Shadowcaller.

[Shadowcaller]

Good luck on the adventure, Shadowcaller.

I can't really understand your grudge against me DC but right now its highly likely your helping me.

[Fawkes]

Lieutenant Mechafox nods to Szilard. "Be careful."

[Uncle Festy]

…

What the hell.
What. The. Hell.
I give you massive amounts of power, entrust you with an important position in my house… and you just LEAVE?!?
What the hell is up with that?
I mean, if you were planning on leaving before the game, why did you accept the position of lieutenant, much less any of the other stuff I was telling you? And if this was concocted AFTER the game has started, then what was the point of wasting 50 gold this early – especially if, as Murska put it, "the Houses are just for show"?

*rereads post*
Ok look I realize I've been really rude here, but I'm tired and grumpy and irritable and who knows what else. I'd just like, you know, an explanation of where the heck this came from.

They've been conspiring since before the game began. The not telling you was likely to get themselves more power.

...what?

[Darkcomet]

...what?

Murska and Happy planned this betrayal before the game began. You didn't know?

[happyturtle]

Spoiler

Show

The three of us talked about forming a house together before the game began. That means we weren't conspiring against ANYBODY because we didn't know what houses we'd be in.

Honestly, if I'd known people were going to take this sort of thing personally in a game entitled BACKSTABBERY, I wouldn't have signed up to play.

[Shadowcaller]

Murska and Happy planned this betrayal before the game began. You didn't know?

If they did, I don't really understand why everyone is so upset about them betraying you in a game called Backstabbery.

What did you expect? Really?

[Darkcomet]

Pheh.

It just really hurts knowing that my team was doomed from before the game even started.

[Murska]

There ARE. NO. TEAMS!

This is a one-winner game, the team victory is just a small plus to that. At least we didn't try one of my previously thought up ways to purely break this game or anything and just did this small move which gave us personally a bit more power while hurting nobody else.

[Selrahc]

I'm not really taking this personally. I fully expected people to betray. I am a little disappointed that the betrayal wasn't by means of a nice clean murder, but on the other hand it gives me a wonderful opportunity for vengeance. And vengeance is fun.

Seriously, you guys aren't having a blast with this opening game? I love having a clear cut enemy, a set of powerful but not completely trustworthy friends and some backroom deals and future schemes going, all on day 1! That is more than I normally do in a whole game of werewolf.

And if this was concocted AFTER the game has started, then what was the point of wasting 50 gold this early – especially if, as Murska put it, "the Houses are just for show"?

Uh... maybe the advantage of spending the gold is that they get 50 power levels to distribute? That strikes me as quite a nice perk.

Oh yeah, and Aemoh is officially my Lieutenant.

[Aemoh]

Heh, good to see a game of backstabbing off to a fun start.

*wishes EagleWiz a good trip*

(He wanted to go, so, just helping him.)

[Murska]

Yeah, glad to see you guys like it.

I'm mostly doing this to maybe survive night 1, since my chances of doing that are very slim. My house leader got a warning beforehand, although not a set date, and she took it pretty well.

Oh, and Selrahc: We don't have to be enemies, you know.

Sorry about the whole betrayal thing Selrach, but I figured that if I would do it before I really got to connect with the house it would be better.

Anyway, I promise I smile when you stab me in the face/back with your alliance of upset players.

[Darkcomet]

Hurting nobody else, Murska?

Hurting nobody else?

That is a lie and you know it. Even if it doesn't harm individual players, it gives a rather nasty disadvantage in the event of a house war.

[Murska]

Then don't find yourself in a house war, or ditch your house in the case of one, or ally with other houses, or assassinate the enemy house members, or pick more Generals...

[Darkcomet]

I knew I was doing something wrong when I signed up for this...
