Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Day Nine
A lot of the people alive right now have played mostly under the radar. This post will get some attempt at analysis soon.
Not enough for real analysis: Halae, Logic, Wolfbane, and McGinty.
Mrs. McGinty, however, voted for chicken yesterday, when everyone else was voting for a revealed wolf (hopefully). That makes me very suspicious.
Wolfbane feels safe to me, from Ramsus' last ditch attempt at throwing us off track.
Shadow feels somewhat unsafe, being a nonplayer in this game, but playing nonetheless. Fleeing Coward seems fine to me, because controlling posts and PMs is too powerful an ability to be true.
Then there are Rain Dragon and Internet Flea. I will try to do some analysis, but I may not be able to get it up.
For now, Rain Dragon, because I am not a wolf.Last edited by Duck999; 2014-11-16 at 07:03 PM.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Day Nine
Of the two current wagons, I think Duck is more likely a
wolftraitor than Rain Dragon, but I feel Mrs McGinty is the most likely candidate for a traitor lynch.
However, should anyone else turn up as a Camouflage Expert, I think it is pretty safe to give Fleeing Coward the boot.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Day Nine
When did the associate with the who what now?
I was unexpectedly away from the forum for a day and I think the day for this game either ended or is close to ending. Idk, I am on a mobile device.
If I vote, I am causing a tie which is a no lynch. Uhhh.
I do agree Mrs McGinty has been voting more or less randomly most of the game and has not helped town a lot. The chicken thing was a bit strange...
Hey Duck. Looking forward to the rest of that analysis.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Day Nine
Kezzan was hiding in his usual spot only this time it wasn't to take a quick nap or to skimp on his duties. This time his life depended on how good his hiding skills were. The rest of the crew had decided that he was a traitor. He knew that was not true but that didn't really matter. He listened intently for the smallest sound and he was ready to run for it at the first sign of discovery. That sign never came, he just waited there for hours on end until he became sleepy. He tried to remain awake and alert but he just couldn't keep his eyes open.
The smell of smoke woke him from his nap. It was a strange smell, unlike the usual smell of burnt plastic that was to be expected on a ship. It smelled like wood smoke, it reminded him of home and for a moment he was tempted to go back to sleep but it was becoming very warm, especially down at his feet. He opened his eyes to look around and what he saw made him scream. He didn't get the chance to scream much as the smoke made him cough. His vision blurred by tears as his eyes watered he looked around and saw that he was in a room filled with what looked like broken pieces of furniture. A small part of the wood was burning but the flames were spreading and would soon threaten him. He tried to move but he was tied to a chair. For a few moments he was disoriented, but he put two and two together and came to the logical conclusion that the crew had found him while asleep and deposited him in this death trap.
He struggled trying to break his bindings before the fire reached him but the fire seemed to be spreading faster and faster and before he knew it he was burning alive. The pain was terrible, the agony unbearable and he stood there screaming for what seemed like an eternity until his mind went blank.
***
Kezzan came to his senses hours later sprawled on a cold metallic floor. He looked around and knew immediately where he was - the ships interrogation room - the place were prisoners could be tortured for information. The torture wasn't physical, for all intents and purposes his body remained unharmed. His brain was stimulated to produce all the sensations and it was well known that on higher intensities people could die from a heart attack or a stroke. He began laughing hysterically. The rest of the crew had tried to kill him but apparently they didn't really know what they were doing and he had survived. All he had to do now was sneak to a safe spot on the ship and wait until he could secure an escape.
As he suspected the door to the exit was open, after all why lock in a corpse? His lips curved slightly at the thought as he kept on sneaking down the corridors. He reached one of the elevators that went to the hangars and to his surprise it was still working. When the doors opened memories of the way agent Cobalt had died made him hesitate for a moment but this was the fastest way to get to a place the crew wouldn't be searching so he walked in and pressed the button that would take him to the hangars. The lift glided smoothly towards its destination but stopped a few floors short of the target and the doors opened. Initially Kezzan though it had malfunctioned but someone was waiting on the other side of the doors.
"Impossible! You're dead!"
"Indeed. So are you."
Kezzan died when his heart was literally punched out of his chest.
The rest of the crew found his body a few hours later and wondered how he had gotten there... and why his heart was missing.
Day nine is now over. Night nine begins now and ends in 24 hours.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
I'm going to stick with my Mrs McGinty hunch with the caveat that I can easily switch to Duck999 if I think the voting is swinging to lynch a crewman.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
It was a quiet night for once, so quiet in fact that most crew members overslept. Those that did wake on time were faced with the insurmountable task of trying to see in the dark... or open their doors. It seemed the ship was powerless once more, only this time there was no life support or anything else active. No ship computer was online to tell the panicked crew what was broken and all the doors had to be opened manually.
Event - Blackout
It is extremely hard to find your way around the ship and without life support the ship will get very cold very quickly. You don't know how long this will last or if it is repairable. This phase counts as a night phase. No lynch will occur and no day actions can be used.
Unlike a normal night you have the following actions:
1) Hide: You will use the blackout to your advantage and hide. The traitors will only have a 25% chance to find you and murder you if they choose you as the kill but you will not gain anything either.
2) Attempt to reach the core: This will start the day phase earlier. The more people that attempt this the higher the chance of success. Regardless of success or failure you may find something useful on the way.
3) Hunt for traitors: You can try to hunt for someone you think is a traitor. This can end in 3 ways:
a) You don't find him. (you might find something else instead)
b) You find him and kill him. (this can't happen unless someone else also attempts to kill the same person or you have some item/power that helps)
c) You find him and you get killed. (this can happen if you go alone)
All actions must be PMed to me. You can still post in thread and say what you're doing but the final action must be sent through PM. That means that people can lie about what they're really doing quite easily.
The Blackout Phase will last 48 hours.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
McGinty wakes up in a dumpster in some unidentified city, suffering from a hangover truly epic in both scale and intensity. His head feels like it's about to explode. Going on the smell, his guts already have exploded, with more likely to follow. Everything hurts. Wondering where he is and how he got there, the hapless degenerate roots around in his pockets for a moment.
When his hand reemerges it holds two receipts: one from an intergalactic pawnbroker, confirming the sale of a moderately-damaged alliance battleship for eighty billion dollars; the other from a highly exclusive bar and nightclub, confirming the purchase of eighty billion dollars worth of cocktails. With a shrug, our booze-addled hero tosses the receipts into the dumpster, and sets off in search of his next adventure...

It's been 12 days since the day phase ended and 8 days since the Blackout event was announced.

Terribly sorry for disappearing on you guys like that but as Duck999 put it. Life happens.
The thread should be updated in the next 24 hours. Everyone still in the game will also receive a pm to get a heads up.
Once more I'm sorry for the very long delay.

Well, since no one responded to my idea to end the game, I'll try it a different way; does anyone object to ending the game and revealing roles?

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
If dead people's opinions are welcome, I support it. I would have preferred the game to continue to it's conclusion but at this point if Nonayer comes back it'd still be a game that goes down to who still remembers to care/notices an inactive game came back in time. And that wouldn't be much of a victory for anyone in my book.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
Except for me. I won. The next morning scene would have announced it. Since I literally have nothing left to do in this game except wait for that scene, there's no harm in sharing.
I was the stowaway, a neutral role that snuck on board and was hiding in the cargo bay when all this went down. My objective was to search the ship at night and find parts to finish building an escape pod, which I completed on the previous night.
I left last night, but with the blackout no one has noticed yet.
Y'all can continue with your game, but I'm gone.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
When you decide to give up on this game(which I'm sure is just a matter of time at this point), I want to know why wolves killed me.
Because honestly, that came as a surprise to me.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
Game looks dead.
For the record, wolves assasinated me a couple of nights back. Bypassed my 100% single lynch/night kill protection and apparently won the coin toss against my 50% all purpose shield so the wolves definately weren't underpowered if they had an ability like that

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
...well, with that said, I guess there's no point in waiting until tomorrow.
I was The Hacker. Wolf quicktopic here. (It's long; Ramsus and I like talking.)
In addition to the powers the town knew about, aspi had the ability to avoid ability use scries in the night, we had an extra lynch vote as long as all four of us were alive, and we had a team beast ability that only activated if the bandwagon on us was equal to or fewer than the number of living wolves. Both of those powers had pretty niche use, requiring us to be involved in very tight bandwagons. We gained the Blackout power (end the Day and start the event) and the Day-kill power (kill someone during the Day, and they'll be revealed the next morning) when Ramsus died. Both were one use; the Day Kill cost us our following Night Kill, the Blackout turned out to make things easier for town since they could kill us in the night again, and we didn't know about either of them before Ramsus die so we couldn't plan around them for most of the game.
From the first event, I gained the ability to scry for drones or hack any drones I'd previously scried (I got to use it instead of the owner for the night), as well as a much stronger scry every three nights. The problem with that ability was that to use it cost us our personnel scry (which was underwhelming the one time we did use it). Additionally, the really powerful drones (Hunter-Killer and Autopsy) were both used the night they showed up, so we couldn't actually stop them. Aspi gained the ability to block a night action once every two nights, though apparently it didn't work on Psyker scries, nightkills or mind control so it was less useful than it first appeared. I'm pretty sure we dodged a drone scry with it though, so it did help.
That said, I think the wolves we lost, we lost due to our heavy aggression, not to power imbalances (though it's irritating for the wolf team to lose half their players in a night). We played really aggressively all game, getting people falsely lynched, pushing for people we knew were scried, and constantly lying to the Network to try to keep them offcourse. I was really looking forward to seeing whether we were going to survive tomorrow or if it was all going to come crashing down at the last minute. But, we haven't gotten any responses from any living players (Logic is totally dead unless he Hid for the event), and for the wolf team at least, there's just not any energy left.
Mordokai: we had two reasons for killing you. The first was because we were Vigilante hunting and I thought Penguinator was the most likely person to be Vigilante. Before the kill went through, however, Count Dingdong PMed me and said you had a power that let you determine if people were lying in posts, which pushed you up from "As good a target as anyone" to "Kill it Kill it Kill it!" (I was PMing Count Dingdong and Deathslayer near constantly once Sprig died, with gambit ideas and 'suspicions': I still don't know if I actually had him fooled or if he was just toying with me.)
It's really too bad; I don't think the game was balanced, but it was a lot of fun, and it would have been anyone's game tomorrow. And the Narrator said I was being paranoid, so you know it was a good time.

Re: The Wolf Game - Stranded in space - Night Nine
@IF, you had me fooled until Mordokai's death. You were the only person I had told, and there wasn't any reason for them to target Mordokai. If FC hadn't revealed Ramsus, I may have thought more about it and mentioned that you were no longer in any way clear, since that was really bugging me. That said, the quiet day (I was still waiting on responses from others...) and school made that not happen. I had Mrs. McGinty as the another likely wolf, but I guess others didn't agree with me? I know FC was confused by that read...
I think Sprig should have told me more things. I told him what I knew from my role, and he basically only had me as a BCC for convos with him and FC (who I already basically had down as telling the truth about being neutral). Aside from Nights 1 and 2, I heard none of his scries. I heard none of his reads. He never, well, told me anything... >.<
And sorry, Mordokai. For a long while, I had just assumed that Sprig had scried Internet Flea (it read that way from in-thread talk, and he never told me otherwise), so I figured why NOT trust him? ...whoops...
I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to do in this game (found and protected my partner, as well as found quite a few wolves). I feel like wolves would have won if this continued (the fact that IF thinks otherwise I suppose speaks to the balance? Everyone felt the other team was overpowered, so no one was?). Simply put, few villagers were trying, and the narrator misinformation (disguise on death) was extremely cruel in my opinion, especially since that's new to this forum and was completely unexpected. It made it really difficult to tell who genuinely missed the rule and who was trying to manipulate town as wolf by feigned ignorance of the odd rule... >.>
