Llama Llama Duck 2 - Game Thread - The Return of Insanity

[billtodamax]

Next game I think I'm gonna be a vortexer. Assassins get targetted too much. I mean come on! I hit two out of two ducks and you guys still lynched me. The only reason I didn't argue is because I thought Reinholdt had vortexed me. Someone had at any rate, but the votes were being pushed onto me, not off.

[Szilard]

You think? You're not sure how to pronounce your own name?

If you're not sure, I submit that this cannot be right, because there's no 'Z' or 'R' sound in it.

Well, the s and the z together make an s sound. The r... it's just silent.

Speaking of looking, the players who looked out for each other also get an award. These three had a plan, which I can only equate to “You lean on my back bubba and I’ll lean on yours, that way we’ll keep our faces out of the mud.” from Forest Gump. The plan, involved careless baners baning each other every night. So the Forest Gump award…

Heh. I think Fin got the best award.

Though Catseye's Bane This! just sounds cool.

[Supagoof]

Narrator Thoughts on the game....

I was pleased, and surprised with the result of the game. I honestly didn't expect it to last this long, especially with 11 assassins. Though there were plenty of careless baners and voiders at work to keep them quiet.

Reinholdt - Dragoon saved you a few times, so even if his last point changed the tide of the game, you should thank him for covering your back.

Helgraf - I'd have loved to see someone scry you and allow you to infiltrate the llama network. Too bad the 2 llama's with the ability to look died early.

The last day could have turned the tides many a direction. With the teams knwoing who each other were (ducks knew through night kills and I'm sure the Llama's knew through Reinholdt) In order for the Llama's to have won...

A. Dragoon votes for Cristo - bring it to a tie, but not enough since Skippy came and pointed at Piratemonk giving him the tiebreaker first.
B. Alarra votes for Cristo - making him the lynch.
C. Cristo Dies - 2 ducks left.

Then in the night - you have 3 llamas (Masons + Alarra) and Dragoon. If the ducks attack Alarra or Dragoon, no one gets killed (assuming Dragoon keeps the Bane you/bane me plan). Then the next day the llama's control the lynching, and either lynch Skippy or Szilard (taking someone with him.) The final night could have been again a roll of the dice for the remaining duck to pick out who isn't baned.

Or

The ducks kill PirateMonk or The Valient Turtle. Next day 5 remain, 2 ducks, 2 Llama's, and Dragoon.

Special thanks to Lamech - who literally used one of his assassin kill on me (for s&g's I assume ). It prompted me to start the Chalupa Sidequest. It was a perfect excuse to add the Chalupa insanity.

Also amusing was the Trixie/Fleeing Coward debacle. Fleeing Coward voided Trixie every night, which probably frustrated Trixie to no end. I'd have to say of all the PMs for assassin kills - Trixie sent in the most, and had a ton of clever ways of hiding stuff.

I'll probably not change anything for LLD3, unless anyone objects? It'll be interesting to see who comes back with a changed role or who keeps the same.

[PirateMonk]

*Hugs awards*

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt - Dragoon saved you a few times, so even if his last point changed the tide of the game, you should thank him for covering your back.

Yeah, Dragoon was great. Even when I suspected he may have been a disguiser.

[billtodamax]

I thought Reinholdt was a duck right up until he was killed.

[Fleeing Coward]

Trixie did hide those names quite well. Even after I figured it was her that tried to kill me, I didn't think to look into translations of the words for my name
I only survived due to luck since I had decided to send in an action to cancel the default void that night but my net stuffed up before I could. (She had finally convinced me that she wasn't an assassin as she first claimed before that kill.)

*Fin steps up on box strangely labeled 'TNT' to give his speech*

I'd just like to thank everyone for... KABOOM!

Summary:

Spoiler

Show

Piratemonk was lynched. Piratemonk was a Llama Mason.

Which means...

DUCKS & BUNNIESY WIN THE GAME!

It was close, with 3 Llamas, 3 Ducks, and 1 Bunny standing on the last day. But with the Last Bunny (Dragoon) pointing at one of the remaining Llama's (PirateMonk), it meant any chance of Llama Victory went with the lynch, as now the Ducks => Remaining players, which satisfy their win condition, and since Dragoon is alive and a Bunny - he has satisified his win condition.

Congratulations to Dragoon the bunny and Team DUCK!

More comments and thoughts coming with trophies in a bit, along with the published narrator spreadsheet, but for now - share youre thoughts on the game. What worked? What didn't? What could be made better? Any noteworthy maneuvers (aka Mustiado's)?

To everyone who said the ducks were dead.
PHBBBBBBT!!!!

Also

QUACK!!

EDIT: Damnit Cristo, you're the one who killed me?!

ANOTHER EDIT: Heh - at least I was pegged _completely wrong_ by the MC sheet. Ha ha ha!

I just wanted to shoot Helgraf...

You've been pulling the trigger on me a lot lately. And more often than not I'm on your same damn team.

That FF game really really scarred you, didn't it?

MUCHO EDITO FOR COMBINING POSTS:

Helgraf - I'd have loved to see someone scry you and allow you to infiltrate the llama network. Too bad the 2 llama's with the ability to look died early.

I was actually hoping it would save me from lynch by llamas .. but infiltration would have been awesome as well.

EDIT YET AGAIN: I was the _only_ disguiser in the whole game?! How the deuce did that happen?

[Skippy]

*Hugs award*

I'm really, really surprised I made it until endgame. I got really disappointed at a certain point of the game because I couldn't find anything useful (I didn't pay attention anymore, all I could see was blonde, brunette...) and every time I found a duck he was mercilessly killed shortly after, even on the same night thanks to those assassins (So now I know who killed Helgraf right when I found him! Cristo you... you... duck killer!) so I just went with the flow. The finals messed up my schedule badly, but I still managed to stay under the radar and stay alive. Still glad I won, and still glad I've got my two awards! Thanks a lot!

Also, I'm glad I took my chances!

[Murska]

Heh. Before the game started, I claimed I'd be taking Assassin to few people, made a deal with Happyturtle that we both take Howard and bane each other every day and made a deal with Haruki that we both take careless baner and bane each other every night, then took Beast and claimed it to more people.

All in an effort to hopefully survive for a while. At least I took a duck down with mah Beast, although apparently I did something bad for my team without me noticing, based on the trophy.

WOOHOO!~
Well done Ducks!
I have to say, I had a bunch of fun acting like a JERK for a couple of days and keeping the attention focused on myself so that we could geet a few kils in!
I was never expecting to last very long as an assassin anyway, so I decided to get a couple of quick kills in and steal Center Stage allowing the rest of my unknown team some time to hopefully get some work done.

[Supagoof]

*snip*At least I took a duck down with mah Beast, although apparently I did something bad for my team without me noticing, based on the trophy.

That one is me goofing around again. Because your always a wolf. Wondering when you'd notice.

Actually, you should have the "On The Right Track" award for pointing 2/3 times at a duck and getting one killed with your ability.

Yeah, Helgraf - You were the ONLY DISGUISER and the Llama Seers died early. Rough luck.
