Paranoia V - Game On!

[Kyouhen]

Paranoia V!
What's that citizen? What happened to Paranoia IV? We already did that. Are you disagreeing with me citizen? I think you should have a word with Friend Computer...

Friend Computer needs help! After everyone was found to be a Commie Mutant Traitor last time, Friend Computer wisely had all the members executed. Friend Computer now needs new teams to hunt down the traitors that would taint The Computer's perfect world! Any volunteers?

Rules

General

Days last 48 hours, nights last 24 hours.
During the day points are made in RED. Pointing in any other colour is treason. Traitors will be executed.
Every player with at least 20% of the vote at the end of the day will be executed.
If nobody has at least 20% of the vote, whoever has the most votes will be executed.
In the event of a tie, Friend Computer has authorized the execution of all members of the tie.
Each player gets 6 clones. If executed for traitorous activities you do not count as being part of the game until the end of the next phase. During this time you count as being dead for win conditions.
EXAMPLE: Ky-U-HEN-1 is executed on Day 1. During Night 1 he is not part of the game, and as such cannot take actions or have actions taken against him. At the start of Day 2 his clone will arrive and he will be back in the game.
Teams and secret societies will be revealed when your last clone is dead.
Autolynch happens after 3 days of not pointing. You lose all clones when this happens.
Publicly claiming a Secret Society or Mutant Power will result in losing all your clones. Friend Computer does not take kindly to citizens who participate in such treasonous activities.


Teams

Friend Computer will, with it's infinite wisdom, assign each player to a team of 6 people. If your team does not have 6 people you will celebrate, for Friend Computer has deemed your abilities high enough that you do not need a full team. At the start of the game you will know who is a member of your team.
As a team you can perfom one of three night actions.
Ambush: Set a trap for another player. That player will be killed, and their next clone will arrive at the start of the next night phase.
Spy: Spy on a player to determine their team number, mutant ability or secret society.
Stick Together: Protects all the members of your team from being Ambushed.

Your team wins the game when they outnumber the number of players not currently in your team.


Secret Societies

There are six Secret Societies plaguing Friend Computer, and it as kindly offered to share with you the names of them. You should thank Friend Computer.
The Secret Societies are:
Corpore Metal - Down with flesh, up with machines!
FCCC-P - The Computer is the great protector! All praise The Computer!
Frankenstein Destroyers - Humans good, robots bad!
Humanists - The Computer is a little crazy. We should probably fix that.
Pro Tech - Build better machines!
PURGE - Kill The Computer! Kill everyone who follows it!

You do not know the members of your society when the game starts.
That team of Troubleshooters did too good a job last time. All the societies were weakened, and struck out at each other in an attempt to take advantage of everyone else's weakness. That didn't work out so well, and now all they really want is to regain their power. Your society wins if it outnumbers the players who are not in your society.


Mutant Powers

Everyone has a mutant power. That's what everyone says. If you hear anyone say this, please direct them to the nearest Confession Booth. Friend Computer would like a word with them.

Absorption - Negates 2 points against you. Automatic.
Charm - Allows you to convince another player to tell you their Secret Society or Team. The target will know when they have been charmed. Night action.
Detect Mutant Power - Reveals a player's mutant power to you. Night action.
Polymorphism - Allows you to disguise your Mutant Power, Secret Society and Team against any scries targetting you that night. Night action.
Puppeteer - Changes one player's vote to match yours. Day action.
Machine Empathy - Allows you to protect a player from the wrath of The Computer in an extremely treasonous fashion. The target cannot be killed during the next day phase. Night Action.
Ventriloquist - Say things and nobody will know who's saying them! Once per phase you can send an anonymous message to another player. At any time you can also have an anonymous message posted in the game thread.

[rakkoon]

How many players are you aiming for ?
Too many players make my head hurt :smallwink:

[Aemoh]

In again, says I :smallamused:

[Dirk Kris]

Had fun in the last one.
I'm in.

[Yspoch]

Sounds like fun, I want in! Hail to Friend Computer!

IF there ever would be something as treasonous as a mutant power called "Polymorphism", why would it be a night action and not an automatic option? Not that there is such a thing...

Hail to Friend Computer!

[Murska]

I'm in again.

[happyturtle]

Hap-E-TRTL-1 reporting for duty, Friend Computer!

[Deathslayer7]

Wall-E!
in :smalltongue:

[Opeth_Freak]

In of course. Paranoia IV was my my first game in here AND my first win, so how could I refuse? :smallbiggrin:

[Bayar]

Requesting joinage.

[BishFish]

souds cool, how many players are you aiming to have because I don't think you'll have enough by the 31. This looks like it would work better with more people.

[Hyozo]

I'll join this one.

[Kyouhen]

I'm aiming for as many players as I can get. Some rules may change depending on how many we end up getting.

Also rakkoon, does that mean you're in? :smalltongue:

[Selrahc]

I'll join up. Paranoia is a good thing.

If you need a co-narrator again, I'm also up for that(And as long as my computer doesn't break again, I should be a bit more useful).

[billtodamax]

Ininininin

[Freshmeat]

In with crackpot conspiracy theories.

[The Bookworm]

In, and Ventriloquist is an awesome power!

[RedScholarGypsy]

In, Giggity.:smallbiggrin:

[calar]

Almost missed this one, I'm in.

[BishFish]

Nice! Lots of people! now we'll be able to have atleast three teams.

[Guancyto]

So very in.

[Fleeing Coward]

In although I'd like to point out that:
Machine Empathy + Stick Together = Immortality...

[Hyozo]

Sure, for the person you target. Also, are you promoting the use of the most treasonous of all treasonous powers, citizen?

[Fleeing Coward]

Yes, I'm promoting treason and forecasting a 3/4/5/6 player endgame stalemate :smalltongue:

[Guancyto]

Well, it can only work on one person and it's a night action. So you have to correctly anticipate the person that your enemies will attempt to lynch. Could make a rule where you can't use it to protect yourself or anyone else on your team with the ability.

Also, Fleeing Coward for trying to break the game again. :smalltongue:

[Fleeing Coward]

If i was trying to break the game, I'd have mentioned this after the game begun. Besides, with final exams for the semester coming up, I won't be paying much attention to any of these games to break it :smalltongue:

[MasterofMockery]

In
Totally int

[rakkoon]

hey, why not, IN

[Andre Fairchilde]

I'll join. I think one of these was the first game I was ever killed in.

[Mustiado]

Sure, I'll be back in again.

[banthesun]

My first game on this site, so in again.

[happyturtle]

Sorry, feeling overwhelmed, and something has to give. Please remove me from the player list. :smallsigh:

[Kyouhen]

Recruitment closed. Roles will be sent out shortly.

EDIT:
Also added to the rules that role claiming powers or secret societies will result in losing all clones.

[Kyouhen]

Alpha Complex had been cleansed of a wonderful number of Commie Mutant Traitors. All the little Secret Societies that had plagued poor Friend Computer had lost a fair amount of power thanks to the valiant efforts of Team 2. (Sadly Team 2 had been executed for less-than-loyal activities. Though they were happy to accept their punishment. Happiness was mandatory.)

This had unfortunately started a rather severe power struggle between the societies. It was too quiet in Alpha Complex, Friend Computer could tell it's because they were all fighting fiercely for new members. It's the only possible explanation. But! Friend Computer is too smart for them and has already contained the fighting so fierce that there's no evidence it's happening in a single room! A rather large room. More of a series of hallways actually. But a room nonetheless. Several teams were dispatched into the halls to flush out the Commie Mutant Traitors hiding within, knowing in it's infinite wisdom that just because there's no readings of life in an area that it doesn't mean nothing's alive in there.

Let the executions begin!

Day 1 Begins!
Day 1 ends at ~3:00PM (GMT-5:00) Nov. 3rd

[Fleeing Coward]

I propose we temporarily disable Kyouhenfor it's own good :smallbiggrin:

[billtodamax]

Fleeing Coward, for daring to suggest that we should kill Friend Computer!

[Hyozo]

I agree. Death to the communist, mutant, Fleeing Coward of a traitor.

[Guancyto]

Fleeing Coward sounds like an excellent candidate for summary execution.

Y'know. Again.

[Yspoch]

FC has been allowed to run for to long! Put an end to it him!

[Bayar]

FC has been allowed to run for to long! Put an end to it him!

I see what you did there ! You are in league with Fleeing Coward and want to overthrow Friend Computer !

[Opeth_Freak]

I usually don't like THAT big bandwagons, but if you want to disable the Friend Computer, then there's just no hope for you, Fleeing Coward...

[rakkoon]

I believe Billtodamax is equally traitorous and is just using that coward for his secret plots. Death to the enemies of Friend Computer!!

[Fleeing Coward]

I believe Billtodamax is equally traitorous and is just using that coward for his secret plots. Death to the enemies of Friend Computer!!

But I'm admitting to wanting to destroy protect Friend Computer. Why are you pointing at him? :smallfrown:

[Dirk Kris]

Fleeing Coward WANTS us to lynch him - look out! He might have a bomb!

[Freshmeat]

Fleeing Coward for his blasphemy!

[Aemoh]

I feel like I should vote for FC, but it's day 1 so...

*day 1 random at Geesi*

[Murska]

Billtodamax for multiple lynches on day one meaning less time until we actually get some information from them. Even though I'd really want to point at Fleeing Coward. Sorry Billtodamax. :smalltongue:

[Andre Fairchilde]

The computer seems to have communicated to me the BishFish may require a system update.

[calar]

...Yeah, you really should know better than that Fleeing Coward.

[RedScholarGypsy]

Why is Fleeing Coward committing suicide? I want to find out.:smallamused:

[Selrahc]

Anyone who doesn't vote for Fleeing Coward is clearly some sort of evil mutant.

[rakkoon]

But I'm admitting to wanting to destroy protect Friend Computer. Why are you pointing at him? :smallfrown:


Because you get special powers given to you when everybody lynches you ?? I don't know, but you , dear mutant, are very weird and cannot be working alone!

[Yspoch]

I'm changing my point to Murska for admitting to be a member of a secret society via a private message AND believing that I would be too! That's despiceable, treasonous behaviour in my book and calls for immediate execution. If Friend Computer in its unending wisdom should decide so of course.

[Guancyto]

He's clearly a loyal subject pretending to be a mutant commie traitor to lure them to their doom. Secret societies? What secret societies?

Just claim to be a villager. :smalltongue:

[Murska]

Admitting what? Are you accusing me of being in a secret society? Only a commie mutant traitor would do that, Yspoch!

[Bayar]

He's clearly a loyal subject pretending to be a mutant commie traitor to lure them to their doom. Secret societies? What secret societies?

Just claim to be a villager. :smalltongue:

What is a villager ? Do you eat it ?

We all know that in Alpha Complex there are only citizens. And occasionaly commie mutant traitors, but those are crushed swiftly by Friend Computer.

[Murska]

There's something weird going on with this game. :smallconfused:

For one, Fleeing Coward isn't on the playerlist although he joined! :smalleek:

[Hyozo]

*looks at thread*

No. He didn't.:smalleek:

I am unpointing at a non-player. I will not re-point until such a time as what I will refer to as 'potential situation funhouse mark two' has been resolved.

[Selrahc]

*looks at thread*

No. He didn't.:smalleek:

Yeah, he did.


In although I'd like to point out that:
Machine Empathy + Stick Together = Immortality...

But the fact that he isn't on the playlist is still very worrying. Luckily since the Computer is incapable of error, things must be going according to plan.

[Hyozo]

Ah. I missed the first word of that due to sentence structure.

[Fleeing Coward]

Damn you Murska, I was looking forward to getting lynched without a role :smalltongue:

[billtodamax]

Yspoch. For misleading me!

[The Bookworm]

Yspoch. "The Misleader"

[Kyouhen]

Shoot, I somehow missed Fleeing Coward on the list. Mind going on autolynch replacement? :smalleek:

And it's anonymous message time!


Okay, hello everyone. Murska has a suspicion that most if not everyone in the game belong to Illuminati. Please contact Murska about it if you are. He is Corpore Metal and belongs to Team 2, if everyone indeed is Illuminati he proposes that everyone infiltrate with him and gain the Secret Society and Team victories with only one player remaining and everyone sharing his win conditions.

If there indeed IS an ULTRAVIOLET, which Murska doubts, then Murska will be left alone with him and infiltrates him the next night, yet again giving everyone a win. If, as Murska suspects, the Narrator is the ULTRAVIOLET, Murska will confront the narrator with the entire playerbase's backing and infiltrate him, gaining, again, all three victories to everyone.

[Selrahc]

((Umm... If this game does end rapid style, can we do another one without having to wait 5 months? I love the Paranoia setting and I'd like a little longer to run about its werewolf incarnation.))

[Fleeing Coward]

Since Murska ruined my plan to get lynched, sure, I'll go on the autolynch list.

[RedScholarGypsy]

I'd like to test something. Kyouhen. Let's see if I get an AL notification. :smallamused:

[Kyouhen]

((Umm... If this game does end rapid style, can we do another one without having to wait 5 months? I love the Paranoia setting and I'd like a little longer to run about its werewolf incarnation.))

Yeah, if this ends too quickly then I'll just start up another small one so we don't have to wait.

[Hyozo]

Sure. I'll point at Kyouhen as well.

[calar]

Hm, since FC is out I guess then Yspoch, seems a bit like a power play with no basis.

[The Bookworm]

I cast my vote for Kyouhen as well. ULTRAVIOLET status for everyone!

[Kyouhen]

I think I'll go ahead and point out right now that this is not a Funhouse situation. I had honestly forgotten to add FC to the player list and didn't notice that he was getting a pile of votes when he wasn't actually in. Can you all get back to killing each other now?

[RedScholarGypsy]

So are you confirming that you, the narrator, are also not in the game, and that we can not kill you a la Kaos style? Also, either Murska is having some epic fun here, at which point we'll probably kill him tomorrow in remembrance for what he pulled in Demons, or something is indeed fishy here.:smallsigh:

[Kyouhen]

I am confirming that I, the narrator, am sitting in a cozy room in a high security area where none of you can get to me. So no, I cannot be killed Kaos style nor can I be affected by anything else in the game, any attempts at using abilities on me will fail and any votes will count as nonvotes.

[RedScholarGypsy]

Then Yspoch, though I may risk the AL to test this theory later fully later on, if the game seems to be dead-ending:smallamused:.

[Yspoch]

Yspoch. For misleading me!

Thank you! *bows* Yeeah, I misled someone! Wait... when? :smallconfused:

I'll vote for calar, because I did not understand what he meant with "power play".

[Murska]

Each passing moment brings greater clarity. It is already clear that way over 50% of the playerbase and, assumedly, everyone, are members of the Illuminati. These members should all infiltrate me tonight, giving everyone in the game both the Team victory and the Society victory.

And then we can start a new Paranoia game right away.

EDIT: Because it'd be rather mean to lynch someone today meaning he's the only one not to win, let's go for No Lynch.

[Yspoch]

In favor for No lynch

[Andre Fairchilde]

Murska stop sending me pm's at the begining of games elicting my role. I'm just going to point at you every time.

[Murska]

Well that's your choice, I'm not going to stop. Not giving your role in a game with rules as stated in the original post makes no logical sense whatsoever, however.

Anyway, I already know you're an Illuminati.

[Bayar]

No lynch for me too.

[BishFish]

I want some information!
No lynch

[Kyouhen]

Friend Computer wants to see dead Commie Mutant Traitors. Anyone who chooses to not lynch someone will be considered a Commie Mutant Traitor if they keep it up.

((Translation: No lynch is a nonvote.))

[Murska]

Blah. Well, Andre Fairchilde is being rude, so I guess my vote will go to Andre Fairchilde. Have fun, Andre Fairchilde. It's weird how I'm repeating Andre Fairchilde, isn't it?

[Mustiado]

Murska. Neutrality is for wimps.

[Bayar]

Ok, fine, Yspoch is a commie mutant traitor.

[Guancyto]

Yspoch. Remember, we have six lives in this game, so lynch =/= loss.

[Yspoch]

If Murska plans work (and to be honest I doubt it, even if it would theoretically) then yes, lynch = loss. Because of the lynch I would be out of the game until the next day phase and therefore not able to use my night action.

But that's cool with me - there might be some surprises waiting for us all. :smallcool:

Friend Computer will protect me. Even if it means a happy death for Ysp-0-CH, a fresh, new, very happy Ysp-1-CH will greet the new day with mandatory enthusiasm!

[BishFish]

Murska?
(random points because of lack of info but don't want to be ALed)

[Fleeing Coward]

Current Vote Tally
Yspoch - 5
Fleeing Coward - 4 (Not in game)
Kyouhen - 3 (Narrator)
Murska - 3
billtodamax - 1
Geesi - 1
No Lynch - 1
Andre Fairchilde - 1

[Guancyto]

Well.

At very least, members of Corpore Metal shouldn't infiltrate him, that would just be counterproductive.

The more people that do so, the more the remainder has to in order to win, so if people are intending to infiltrate it might be beneficial to announce as such publicly.

[Yspoch]

In that case I'll point at FC again, for selfdefense! :smalltongue:

[banthesun]

Muskra? 'cos I somehow doubt his plan.

[Murska]

Well then, what's wrong with it?

Sorry, Yspoch. Too many votes for me.

Come on people, point at one of the people who are voting for me despite me making public information which benefits everyone and outlining a plan which means everyone in the entire game wins two victories in record time, meaning we can start a non-broken version of the game without waiting for it in the schedule, not Yspoch.

[rakkoon]

ooh, choosing between two of my favorite analysts/manipulators,Ysproch then

[Deathslayer7]

Yspoch because i got a feeling something very very fishy is going on here.

[Andre Fairchilde]

Well then, what's wrong with it?

Sorry, Yspoch. Too many votes for me.

point at one of the people who are voting for me despite me making public information which benefits everyone and outlining a plan which means everyone in the entire game wins two victories in record time, meaning we can start a non-broken version of the game without waiting for it in the schedule, not Yspoch.

All glory to Hypno-Computer-Murska! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiVYjRbZMe0)

[Kyouhen]

Day 1 ends, narration to follow shortly.

[Kyouhen]

The first day in the little maze was rather chaotic as none of the Troubleshooters had any idea what was going on. They started shooting at just about everything. Walls, cameras, doors, the floor, the lights, little was left without burns from laser fire. Some of the Troubleshooters even reported seeing some sort of ghostly chicken, which they promptly shot at. Tired of shooting at inanimate objects the Troubleshooters quickly found something that would move a little faster to fire at. It turns out that Yspoch wasn't actually that fast after all.


Yspoch-1 was executed

Night 1 Begins
Night 1 ends in ~24 hours

[Yspoch]

*sniff* - Do you even know... *gulps*... that's my... *wipes away a single tear*... first first-day lynch EVAR! ... I'm so moved! :smallbiggrin:

Thank you! *sigh*

[Bayar]

What are chicken, Friend Computer ?

[rakkoon]

We do not doubt Friend Computer, a chicken is obviously some kind of inferior commy robot!

[Kyouhen]

All was quiet over the night. Except for one Troubleshooter who was sneaking around. Friend Computer didn't like that, neither did the Troubleshooters who were trying to sleep while he was making all that noise.

When morning arrived there was loud banging coming from the air ducts. A group of Troubleshooters quickly shot it, and Yspoch-2 fell out. Oddly enough he was unharmed.


Hyozo was executed. His clone will arrive at the start of the next night phase.
Yspoch-2 has joined the game.


Day 2 begins
Day 2 ends in ~48 hours

Results of night actions to be sent out shortly

[BishFish]

Billtodamax?

[Murska]

Eh, only some five people infiltrated me. billtodamax was one of them so let's lynch Billtodamax.

[Yspoch]

"Thank you, Friend Computer! I am a very happy troubleshooter. Selrahc, are you happy too?"

[Bayar]

Eh, only some five people infiltrated me. billtodamax was one of them so let's lynch Billtodamax.

Erm, on what basis ?

Edit: never mind, I suck.

[The Bookworm]

Billtodamax, I guess.

[Mustiado]

Murska again, meh.

Not sure why we're pointing at Bill. Also, away for a few days.

[Opeth_Freak]

Billtodamax

[Murska]

We're pointing at bill because he is already out of the game, thus we won't be lynching anyone. Then, everyone can, AGAIN, infiltrate me(hopefully a bit more of everyone this time) so we can end the game already.

For chrissakes, I'm the ULTRAVIOLET if that helps you guys gather the courage to infiltrate me. Yes, I realize that if everyone is an illuminati, the ultraviolet doesn't exist. I don't care either.

[Guancyto]

Billtodamax sounds good.

I would guess it'll help people a little once we see that Bill is indeed out of game and this isn't just a tricksy ploy to make everyone lose a clone. :smalltongue:

[Bayar]

We're pointing at bill because he is already out of the game, thus we won't be lynching anyone. Then, everyone can, AGAIN, infiltrate me(hopefully a bit more of everyone this time) so we can end the game already.

For chrissakes, I'm the ULTRAVIOLET if that helps you guys gather the courage to infiltrate me. Yes, I realize that if everyone is an illuminati, the ultraviolet doesn't exist. I don't care either.

Wait, if you are the ultraviolet, the Illuminati should have won when one of them infiltrated you...or should all Illuminati infiltrate you for each of them to get special victory ?

billtodamax for me too.

[Murska]

Yeah, everyone should infiltrate me. And I'm not actually claiming ULTRAVIOLET, in fact I'm 98% sure there is no such role in the game.

[Guancyto]

Well.

Not everyone.

Since not everyone seems to be on board with the plan, you should probably decide whether you'd prefer to go with Team or Society victory. If Team, Team 2 members shouldn't infiltrate you. If Society, Corpore Metal members shouldn't infiltrate you.

Team Victory would probably be safer because you all know who each other are.

[Murska]

Meh, it's more awesome if everyone infiltrates me and we all get both victories but fine.

[Selrahc]

Billtodamax

[BishFish]

Murska for many reasons
1. since everyone infiltrated him, the illuminati must have won. the game isn't over yet.
2. since "bill is already out of the game" (I didn't feel like using the fancy quote) and he wants people to infiltrate him, something must happen to people who infiltrate him.
3. he's Murska. nuf said.

[Murska]

Uh.
1: Everyone didn't infiltrate me since if someone infiltrates me that means that person is out of the game. Which you would know... unless you're not an illuminati, BishFish.

2: See above. People who infiltrate me are out, though they can still talk to me.

3: Well, I can't argue about that.

[Kyouhen]

Quick update today.

billtodamax would have been executed, but is missing.
Hyozo-2 has entered the game.

Night 2 begins
Night 2 ends in ~24 hours

[Yspoch]

Eh, only some five people infiltrated me. billtodamax was one of them so let's lynch Billtodamax.

How many of those five were/are on your team?

[Murska]

None. :smallsmile:

[Kyouhen]

All is unusually quiet as night comes to a close. No laser fire, no normal fire, no explosions. Very odd for a group of Troubleshooters to be so quiet...


Nothing happened


Day 3 Begins
Day 3 ends in ~48 hours

Results of night actions to be sent shortly.

The following people are up for autolynch:
Freshmeat
MasterofMockery

[Murska]

Eh. One more infiltratee.

[Hyozo]

*coughcough*

Assuming the narrator hasn't lied to me, which I'll admit is not the most valid of assumptions, I believe I should be back today.

Ah. I missed the night narration. I probably should have done something then...

deathslayer7, just because.

[Deathslayer7]

I'm so confused. Murska for now

[Murska]

The Bookworm infiltrated me tonight.

[BishFish]

I see...
Muska must die.

[Dirk Kris]

Murska just can't be trusted.

[Murska]

What the hell is wrong with you people? :smallconfused:

Someone even charmed me last night and thus knows I'm speaking the truth about my society and team. I know what the illuminati do and have proven at least 95% of the players belong to it. I was infiltrated, claimed so and lynched one of the infiltratees as proof. I'm trying for no lynches and am giving two victories to everyone in the game. And still people are lynching me?

Seriously, what the...

Well, The Bookworm infiltrated me last night. So it's best to lynch The Bookworm instead of, say, someone actually still in the game.

[Guancyto]

Hadn't I voted for The Bookworm already? Weird.

Anyway, lynching Murska doesn't eliminate the players that have infiltrated him - they're already gone. It just puts their victory condition further away.

I'll be the first to say, though, that his insistence on two victories instead of one, while admirable, makes me a little suspicious.

[Murska]

Of what, if I might ask?

[Bayar]

The Bookworm. Huh, that's strange. It's the first time I compare Murska's avatar to Friend Computer. Could he be a traitor, Friend Computer ?

[Guancyto]

Well, you can only get two victories at once if everyone except the Corpore members on your team infiltrate you.

Saying you're going for both victories lets you stack the deck, so to speak, and eliminate only your guaranteed enemies from the game (by sharing your victory conditions, admittedly. Elegant, that).

Choosing which of the two you want would be a wonderful show of good faith.

[Murska]

Everyone who infiltrates me gains my victory conditions: Everyone who infiltrates wins if I win, regardless of if I go for two or one victory. But two victories is more awesome than one.

But I might share that none of my teammates have infiltrated me yet, so I can just go for team victory then.

[Guancyto]

Good man!

It seems like it's mostly a catch-22. The closer you are to winning, the greater the incentive is to join you. But to get closer to winning without whittling down clones, people have to join you.

Now, if in the interests of winning faster you're declaring open season on non Team-2 members regardless of society, well...

It might be a bit of an incentive. :smallwink:

[Murska]

*shrug*

Well, I suppose I'll go for a team victory unless there's a suitable moment where I can have my whole team infiltrate me at once and give everyone both.

[BishFish]

Everyone who infiltrates me gains my victory conditions: Everyone who infiltrates wins if I win, regardless of if I go for two or one victory. But two victories is more awesome than one.

But I might share that none of my teammates have infiltrated me yet, so I can just go for team victory then.

but if you lynch everyone who infiltrates you, they all die and you win... alone.

[Murska]

Um, everyone who has infiltrated me is already dead.

[Freshmeat]

Geesi to avoid autolynch.

[calar]

I dunno, The Bookworm sounds pretty good for now as things stand.

[Kyouhen]

"Hey! Hey you! We're onto you!"
"Huh?"
"You're a commie mutant traitor Bookworm!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not-"
"Quiet! We're going to execute you all over the place! Friend Computer demands it!"
"Guys, seriously, I'm not-"

And then the troubleshooters opened fire. Unfortunately for MasterofMockery, what he was trying to say is that he isn't The Bookworm.


The Bookworm was going to be executed, but couldn't be found.
MasterofMockery was erased (autolynched), he was a member of Team 1, a Frankenstein Destroyer, and had the Ventriloquist mutant power.


Night 3 Begins
Night 3 ends in ~24 hours

[Kyouhen]

The night was quiet as the Troubleshooters managed to avoid getting themselves shot/burned/exploded/maimed.

Day 4 Begins
Day 4 ends in ~48 hours

The following people are up for autolynch:

banthesun
RedScholarGypsy

[Murska]

Two more infiltratees.

Hyozo is one.

[Selrahc]

Hyozo for the lynch I suppose. How many people are left Murska?

[Deathslayer7]

Hyozo but should we really trust Murska

[Murska]

Still quite a bunch. :smallsigh:

[Guancyto]

5 people night 1 + 1 person night 2 + 2 people night 3 means eight people are out of the game from a total of 20.

So 12 people remain, who are:

Murska
Geesi
Selrahc
Deathslayer7
banthesun
RedScholarGypsy

And possibly:
Mustiado
Freshmeat
Bishfish
Bayar
Dirk Kris
Yspoch

Also, Hyozo.

Edit:

That makes

Night 1:
billtodamax
rakkoon
Andre Fairchilde
Aemoh
calar

Night 2:
The Bookworm

Night 3:
Opeth Freak
Hyozo

Is that accurate?

Edit edit: Forgot the autolynch.

ALSO.

Since you can confer with members of a couple of teams that aren't your own, do you know of any team that contained six people at start?

If all of them started with five, finding ULTRAVIOLET will be trivial since there's an odd man out.

[banthesun]

Hyozo then.

[Murska]

That's not quite accurate. Also, only three people infiltrated on night one after all, now that I checked my PMs and actually marked them up. :smalleek:

[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. :smalltongue:

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.


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. :smalltongue:

[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... :smallamused:

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. :smallsmile:

[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! :smallbiggrin:

[Andre Fairchilde]

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

[Mustiado]

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

[rakkoon]

Very confusing, I infiltrate Murska and find out he IS the ultraviolet?
What, is it a doublecross?? But I have my win already?
But it all worked out in the end, fun!

[Kyouhen]

What I was aiming for with the infiltrate thing was something similar to S.E.U.'s merge ability with the werewolves. The problem was making it beneficial (ie in S.E.U. you can do it if you think someone knows you're a wolf, making it so you can avoid having Team Evil take a loss) but when there is no solid Illuminati win condition that benefit was kind of removed. And with the point being to basically end up pretending to be the target, I would have to have made it so you would become part of the target's team, and then everyone in that team would know you were Illuminati. That's why you shared the target's win conditions instead, so the target would still have a reason to keep playing after being infiltrated.

So yeah, I wanted to make an ability that said "You are now [player]" without anyone knowing that you had used it.
