When the Cicadas Cry - Game Thread

[onasuma]

Ok, lets try being honest here. I am the necromancer, not worth your while killing now. If you need proof, someone name a target, ill bring them back tonight. In responce, i shall point at Cultdoctor.

I trust you for now, and change my point at Cultdoctor. Also, you shouldn't really bring anyone back unless you know a villager power role since the villager network is big enough to kill the bad guys and we don't want a possible new minion in the game.

[onasuma]

As of yet, ive only brought back people whom i believe would enjoy playing the game, more than not. Thats the only thing i had to go on really.

[Shadowcaller]

So now its cultdoctor? Meh Ill point wherever the masons point.

[Nychta]

I'm not convinced that CultDoctor is a wolf. Like, at all. And I don't want to lynch onasuma, either, seeing as he came out with his role. xNadia

[onasuma]

Come on! One more person swap. I dont want to die...

[Bayar]

Cultdoctor it is.

[Saint Nil]

Alright, we'll point at cultdocter

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

okay, cultdoctor it is.

and I name Haruki-kun to be rezzed

[Haruki-kun]

((I hate doing this.... but I have to follow the rules.))

Day 8 ends.

Night fell. The Cicadas cried once again, as if yelling out the events of the evening. The Villagers all gathered around the leader of the Sonozaki Family. Onibaba, they called her. The old woman stood up from her seat and the crowd hushed immediately.

"We have them," said the Elder.

"I want you to forgive. Whimsical you."

"We have them? You mean the ones who messed with the temple of Oyashiro-sama?"

"The ones who caused all this?"

"The ones who have brought this misery upon us all?"

"Silence!" She shouted. "They're the same ones. We have lost many innocent lives in exchange for capturing these people. Those lives shall not be forgotten. Oyashiro-sama's will shall be carried out."

"What will you do to them?"

"What must be done."

"Don't be scared. Don't damage the future beyond tomorrow."

"But who killed the others? Those that were not killed by--"

"DO NOT! Do not question the works of Oyashiro-sama! We have done what must be done. Remember that: This land is our land. We will protect it, no matter how much blood will be shed."

"Look at me. Look at the real me."

-------------------

It was a quiet morning in Hinamizawa. The kids were playing their favorite Card Game: Old Maid. The teacher walked into the room.

"Rika? There is a man waiting here for you."

Rika walked out to find a large man waiting for her outside. "May I have a word with you?"

Rika climbed into the back seat of the man's car. The man got on the front seat. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I would like to tell you that... a man you know, Tomitake-san, was murdered. Last Night."

Rika looked down. "Is that so? Very well... I shall play with you once more."

Summary:
CultDoctor was lynched.
Zombie Pixe was Auto-lynched. He was the last Outsider.

GAME OVER
The Villagers win.

A list of roles will be posted shortly.

[Haruki-kun]

Thanks for Playing! And I'm very sorry for the late updates.

[Murska]

Go us! Yay for a win.

[Ganurath]

...Zombie, I sent you very specific instructions before my demise as to how to win with just you left. Did you have to autolynch out like that?

[Nychta]

Good game, guys.

[Shadowcaller]

Hehe I can't belive we won, I always like when the good guys win. Especially when I'm on their side.

[banjo1985]

Well that was an anticlimax...ah well, shame Zombie Pixe hasn't been around for a while.

I apologise to Haruki and everyone for the confusion I caused earlier in the game. I'd been kidnapped and completely forgot about it and carried on posting anyway. Sorry for any damage done.

[onasuma]

Victory. Sad thing is, even if you'd lynched me, we would still have won.

[Saint Nil]

So, what was Satoko Houjo's powers? Loved the game, especially when Ganurath sent all those PMs to everyone claiming he was innocent, I almost laughed since I scried him the night before

[Cult_of_the_Raven]

awwww, maaaan. Zombie! Why'd you have to go and get auto'd? You had it made!
I would like to say that yes, I was the alpha, and it was lucky for you villagers that you managed to get me. *grumble* I enjoyed what little of the game I got to play, though!

[Murska]

I don't think Zombie Pixe would have won. I had confirmed the mason list, Seer, atreyu, D-D, B-man, Mordokai as good... Kojiro had been scried as villager... I didn't target ZP cuz he'd have been autoed but if he hadn't, he'd have been a suspect.

[Freshmeat]

From the looks of things, I also doubt the wolves could've still won.

Upon seeing the player list, I think it's a little weird that there were only 5 wolves in a 32-player game.
That said, the villagers were apparently more organized that I'd expect them to be a in a full paranoia game like these. No doubt the seer's survival until the end of the game helped a lot with that.

*reminds self to download WTCC/Higurashi something anime*

Higurashi no naku koro ni, remember that.

To be honest, I thought the wolves were sure to win in the first three days. They had killed Satoko, Mion and Shion, scried Oishii, and discovered Rena. Imagine my surprise when all of a sudden two of them died just like that on day 5 or so, and then it all went downhill for them.

I would like to get feedback on the mechanics of this game. I was sure the feedback would be that it was ridiculously favouring the wolves, and then it turned out to be the opposite.

[Saint Nil]

So, once again, are you going to tell us what Satoko can do?

[Haruki-kun]

So, once again, are you going to tell us what Satoko can do?

Oh, alright.....

Satoko's ability was the ability to fake a Death. If Satoko decided to target say... onsauma, then onasuma's death would be announced the next morning. two days later, it would be announced that onasuma had been revived as if by the Necromancer, but of course, his role wouldn't be re-shuffled, given that he never really died. Satoko would not have been able to fake her own death.

This, of course, made the existance of a Necromancer and a Sniper in this game absolutely vital (as well as the "PLEASE DON'T TALK TO ANY DEAD PLAYERS" rule.

I was hoping the Shady Guy and Satoko would balance each other out, but then Satoko got in the spotlight on Day 1, scried on Night 1, Kidnapped on Night 2, and lynched by Day 3. Balance tipped toward the Wolves and I never got to test out this role.

[Ganurath]

Huh. We came to the conclusion that Satoko was The Beast, considering [anime spoiler]

Spoiler

Show

When she got hurt by her aunt, her brother killed her. Plus, when she got hurt by her uncle, Keichi killed him.

Essentially, bad stuff happens to people that try to hurt Satoko.

[Saint Nil]

Ah, thats an interesting role. Wish I'd been able to see it in action.

[Bayar]

yay ! We won ! *hugs Haruki*
Ok...you can stop hugging me now...
But I like hugging you !
We are both guys ?
Dont worry, Im a catboy.

Huzzah!!! Victory!!

[Kojiro Kakita]

One of the best games I played. Well, maybe we will start a Umineko no Kokoro Ni
