Paranoia V - Game On!

[RedScholarGypsy]

hyozo. I'm just going to watch and see what happens for a bit more.

[Guancyto]

I see. That (and the lack of transparency) doesn't really help the people who have the feeling you're up to something tricksy.

People on the list of infiltrators that didn't really go, post and vote please!

At present it looks like we have two to four individuals who have yet to jump ship.

[Bayar]

Hyozo for me too.

[Murska]

The people who have infiltrated thus far are Aemoh, Yspoch, Hyozo, billtodamax, The Bookworm and rakkoon.

They are very happy they made that decision.

[calar]

Im still here Geesi. And Hyozo.

[Guancyto]

Ah, so Andre would be here too. Good good.

Any word on the six-member team? You've got infiltrators from at least two other teams if six people have joined up with you.

[Mustiado]

Hyoso I suppose.

[BishFish]

... hyozo?
why not?

[Opeth_Freak]

Hyozofiller

[Murska]

I don't think they're paying much attention anymore, at least I've gotten no messages.

[Guancyto]

Okay then.

Members of teams that are not mine! Did any of your teams start with six people?

I will vouch for mine having started with five.

I understand that you may be suspicious of everyone's motives, but remember, we are all on the same side here.

[Kyouhen]

The troubleshooters continue their proud tradition of determining who's a Commie Mutant Traitor, yet failing to find them. There is some questioning of how Hyozo found his way out while Friend Computer is carefully watching the area, but they quickly decide to simply claim they threw him in a vat of acid to ensure he didn't have some traitorous mutant power that would allow him to survive.

Spoiler

Hyozo would have been lynched, but could not be found.

Night 4 Begins
Night 4 ends in ~24 hours

[Guancyto]

Hmm.

Actually.

Could another member of Team 2 contact me with his/her society and/or state it publicly? I assume you guys are Sticking Together, so it's not like you'll be in any danger from doing so.

And then the remainder of my team can infiltrate that person instead, which should push you much closer to victory.

No offense Murska. It's just that there are a couple of people under the impression that you're some kind of cross between Doctor Doom and David Xanatos, only made of BURNING, and they can't trust that you aren't some sort of "Illuminati Destroyer" secret role.

[Murska]

There's a slight problem with that, and I'm sure you've already guessed what it is.

[Kyouhen]

The night was, once again, silent. Good to see everyone is sticking to Friend Computer's ideal amount of sleep for maximum happiness. Sleeping the ideal amount is mandatory, as is being happy.

Day 5 Begins
Day 5 ends in ~72 hours due to weekend

[Deathslayer7]

so what's going on Murska? Cause I'm so lost, you could put me in a room with 50 doors and I couldn't find my way out.

BishFish then

[Murska]

Oh lookies, I got BishFish to infiltrate me this night. Neat.

[Bayar]

Bishfish .

[Dirk Kris]

BishyFishy

[Selrahc]

Bishfish. Lets all just infiltrate tomorrow. This is turning into a grind.

[Kyouhen]

Quick update.

Bishfish was going to be killed, but is missing.

Night 5 starts and ends in ~24 hours.

[Murska]

Yeah. It's not much fun when everyone knows everyone's roles already. Just get on with it.

[Guancyto]

I have to agree with Selrahc. Infiltrating tonight, the rest of Team 4 is welcome to join us.

[Kyouhen]

Night 5 Ends

A troubleshooter snuck up behind another one and quickly caught him.

"I know who you are, you're the Ultraviolet!"
"Actually, no I'm not"
"Wait what?"
"He was the Ultraviolet"

The man opens a nearby closet and inside is another troubleshooter who was tied up.

"Actually... The guy in that closet over there's the Ultraviolet"

So the other closet was opened, and the troubleshooter inside pointed at yet another closet. Evidently every closet in this room (and there were, for some odd reason, quite a few of them) had someone inside who had been tied up.

The small group of troubleshooters who had not been tied up wandered into the scene.
"Well. That's odd. What should we do about this?"
"Kill them all, take credit, and go home?"
"Sounds good to me"

And so the troubleshooters killed everyone who was tied up. Then promptly killed each other as they wanted all the credit for themselves.

---

Ending the game here. This didn't work out as well as I had thought it would, should have thought it through a little better. Oh well, I've learned my lesson.

Hyozo, rakkoon, Yspoch, Selrahc, The Bookworm, banthesun, Mustiado, Geesi, billtodamax, Aemoh and BishFish all infiltrated Murska and got their bonus wins. Murska was the Ultraviolet and was the only person who wasn't secretly Illuminati.

I'll probably put together a small and quick game next week. There won't be any lives, that definitely didn't work. And everyone won't secretly be trying to find one person either.

[Yspoch]

What else may be not the best idea is to have an ability which takes the user and not the "victim" out of the game...

The setup was fun and the secret society thing was neat, but the execution (hehe) was a bit half-baked. Yeah, and that everyone was that secret society may have been a bit to clever there, in fact i think this was a case where less could have been more. Just my thoughts.

If you want to somehow include clones, they could be the limiting factor for mutant powers... each usage costs you a clone. Again, just a quick brainstormed thought there.

Thank you nonetheless for managing the game and I sure would like to play another one with a revised ruleset.

[Murska]

Heh. My role PM said 'You get a special victory if nobody figures out your role.' and I had already contacted multiple people and told them to infiltrate me when I found out that people infiltrating me without knowing my role also counts to lose it.

[Guancyto]

Hah, not bad.

I have to say it: trusting Murska did indeed work out great.

One of the problems, it seemed, was that any given Illuminati could say straight-up and honestly, "I am not a threat to you nor part of your win condition" regardless of who they were talking to so there was no danger at all to role claiming.

If there happened to be a secret role that wanted to kill all of us and would if we infiltrated him (or even if there weren't but the role PM hinted there was), it probably would've made things a lot messier.

Overall it was fun, and I'd definitely be up for the next one.

[The Bookworm]

That was okay, but it didn't really work. Still, in for the next try!

[Andre Fairchilde]

Yay! I win too because I infiltrated Mustiado in an act of paranoid daring stupidity!

[Mustiado]

Actually, I wanted to ambush Murska that night phase. Not infiltrate him.
