The Computer's voice echoes throughout the habitation block.

The citizens have selected Altharis as most suspicious. Altharis, please report to the main entrance for questioning. Captain Van Der Decken, you have been identified as a member of a secret society, please report to the main entrance immediately. Weebl, you have failed to make your suspicions known for two days in a row. This is treasonous. Please report to the main entrance immediately. Atreyu, please ensure you report your suspicions tomorrow.

All other citizens. Curfew begins in ten minutes. Return to your quarters and prepare for sleep.

The main entrance opens and six robots with thin metal arms step inside.

((All I can say is...

...Nothing!

Stupid game mechanics ))

[Jontom Xire]

Smeg. I'm so sorry guys. I got tied down in travelling to Israel and forgot I needed to do a morning post. Plus I don't have my game notes so it'll all be from memory from now on. Also can we just assume the suspects all got dragged away in some form or other, please.

===

The following morning The Computer's voice echoes around the habitation block.

The suspects arrested yesterday have been questioned and were all members of one secret society or the other...or both. They have been cleansed. Please submit your suspicions promptly today.

[Eldritch Knight]

Ahem. Game Over - Secret Police Win. I know for a fact that the other three players left are likely the members of the secret police, and I petiton for membership, as I have played my part and eliminated all traitors to the computer. 4 of us left, no secret police discovered, and I'm not one of them.... Good Game. Need more players next time.

...was I allowed to say that?))

Conducting Covert activities you say? Hardly. Don't they teach you about spys in your SP classes? I know that you, Atreyu and Alarra are the Secret Police, and you seem to suspect that I mean you harm. I don't. I just want to live in peace.

[Jontom Xire]

Ok, then game over.

Unfortunately my notes are at home, but suffice it to say that the game started with one member of the secret police and two members of secret societies spying on it, and if those last two hadn't turned traitor on their secret societies, who knows what would have happened.

Ink, why didn't you report ANYONE in the game? I sent you a PM explicitly stating that as a secret policeman you'ld get to make an extra report, but you still didn't. You knew 4 members of secret societies, and their positions in it, but you did nothing? The game would have been over much much quicker if you had.

Lastly I'd like to say thankyou to you all for playing. I had tons of giggles watching you all vote for members of your own secret society.

Is anyone desperately interested in knowing all the roles in which case we require Korith to appear because I don't get back to my notes until the 18th.

Lastly does anyone want another game? I see that Werewolf V has so many players the list doesn't fit on a single page. With that many we could really have fun. If you all help recruit we could have so many secret societies it would be much more fun. I'd need more regular assistance with vote counting and announcements and think I've almost come up with a format for them in that arrests happen just before curfew signalling the end of voting and the interrogation announcements happen along with the wake-up call indicating the start of the day. We could also move secret police arrests to the night. Both the request and the actual arrest (as in they vanish silently during the night).

If we do play another one I want you all to PM me with any questions/concerns/complaints about the role PMs and how they might be improved. I know some of you didn't understand them very well.

[Captain van der Decken]

I thought that was pretty good, definitely do it again. Leave several days for recruiting maybe, then you'd get more.


Were there actually any plain civilians?

[Selrahc]

I'd definitely play again.

[Korith]

Fizoom!

I've always been here. Anyone who says different is a traitor (Okay, haven't been very active, but our division of the tasks was rather...imprecise)

[Captain van der Decken]

I knew it! Everybody's a traitor. Except Ink.

[Eldritch Knight]

OR me, actually. I never accused anyone who wasn't hostile towards me.

[Selrahc]

I was second in command of the Blue Serpents.... But the only person I knew was Death.

Deckmaster and Tormsskull both died due to inactivity, so immediately after the game started, the higher echelons of the blue serpents were completely cut off.

Next time we need to recruit better minions.

[Captain van der Decken]

Uhh.. Blue Serpents..

Belonging probably counts.

[Ink]

Wait, so basically everyone was in a secret society? Is there no one at all loyal to The Computer? What an age we live in.

You knew 4 members of secret societies, and their positions in it, but you did nothing? The game would have been over much much quicker if you had.

Honestly? I kinda wanted the secret societies to win in the end and overthrow The Computer. I didn't know that I was the only actual secret policeman. Come to think of it, there were four of us left at the end and Atreyu, Eldritch Knight, and myself are members of Blue Serpent so we could still have taken over and staged a coup.

So do we get a fancy ending?

I was so confused I had no idea what was going on. When I reported to the computer I thought it was going to be for a slap on the wrist type deal. I didn't know I was going to be cleansed or I'd have tried to run or something .

Anyhow, good luck on your next game guys.

I like that idea! Let's do it!

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I'd happily play a second time.

[DarkLightDragon]

Nice work, Captain Decken. Got me thinking you were one of our own. But the time where I decided to temporarily betray you was actually meant to mess with Death and try to get him on my side. I was still aware that he could turn out to be an enemy, which he did, but it was useful having someone to back up my votes. I really should have let you die like I was going to before you sent that pm...

[Captain van der Decken]

That scared me actually. I thought you were on to me.

I thought it was pretty funny when we ended up voting for our own society members.
As far as I can remember, I arranged Selrahc's death..

[DarkLightDragon]

Holding people hostage is fun!

Oh that is classic. The only true secret policeman wants to overthrow The Computer while the two spies want to join the secret police for real. Maybe I was a bit hasty ending it.

As for neat ending messages, I shouldn't even be on the internet right now. Maybe korith can do one.

[Korith]

A great banner is unraveled over the massive seeing eye of the computer. As the robots storm in to investigate this treason, wave after wave of EMP rifles are unloaded on the swarming bots as the image of the blue serpent comes into view. As the Eldritch Knight stands to declare this his greatest triumph, three red lasers cut through his body from evenly spaced angles. He crumbles to the ground without so much as a squirt of blood, so quickly did the beams cauterize their wounds. The banner is torn down, and the corpse presented before the computer.

Well done, loyal citizens! For your hard work in rooting out the traitors of society, you each receive a promotion to Orange-level security clearance. In addition, you may each take one of these personal care baskets with you to your new, private quarters!
