I know why I was lynched.

But at the same time, I don't know why I was lynched. Anyone else ever been lynched on Day 1 with only 3 votes?

I'm lynched on day one in every game I don't host, so yes.

The way you wrote them in the Host posts, they seemed like regular night executions. I've never heard of abilities happening at the beginning of a phase, except if specified, something that was not clear from your phrasing.

It was perfectly clear. Now go complain about a game you actually played.

I'm pleased that the only screw up I made this game was accidentally revealing Xander's role on NK, which didn't really have any affect on game balance.

Scotty wrote:meh. I really liked the theme, llama! And you are terrific as a host! So bravo, and gg to the ones that won. I was certain that KF was one of the ones to vote MM Day 1, but didn't really have a chance to push that. Actually thought it was Roxy up until the end, so well played on SVS' part!

I can't help but feel a little jipped as an Xtacle, in that we started 2 people short. Not to mention the blind luck of killing Stan within in the first few days or else absolute loss. The odds were stacked against us, especially after we lynched an Xtacle day 1. I knew we were toast at that point, since we had 4 xtacles going into night 2. Can't help but wonder if we would have fared if we had those 2 other teammates.

Yeah, I wish I could have had those extra two Xtacles, but I was tired of languishing in signups. That's why I added the win condition where all Xtacles win if one survives.

I regret bullying real life friends into signing up for this, knowing full well that they would probably bail, but I was tired of waiting and I wanted to plaaaaaaayyyy!

I liked the bloodiness of this game. Over by Day 7, no dragging it out. I shall remember this for future games.

Oh, I almost forgot to thank all of you for making this game fun to host. Great job everyone!

Roxy was pretty lucky/skilled in using her borrowed Night Kill on one of the few remaining baddies.

I thought my idea of a contest that punishes the winner (LARPstock) was funny. I hope other people did too.

I thought it was utterly unbalanced.

The civilians had me.

Yeah, because you win so often as a civilian.

Two things never hapened that I wanted to happen:

1. Rabbit Fights.
A complicated gambling mechanic I spent forever working out that would have let Torpedo Vegas identify members of his team as well as hand out prizes randomly to winning players.

2. The Sisterhood of Chaos.
They were close on this one, but TinyyBubbles wasn't sending in her power. Otherwise they would have had it. They would have formed a LMS indy team with a kill, but Sinn would be allowed to continue chatting with the baddies and concealing her win condition from them. If Antagone was killed, Cody 2 would have avenged her by killing anyone who voted for her/NKed her.

The Day 0 poll determined which players the Sisterhood had to kill first.

I want to congratulate SVS for playing an amazing game. She had Daisy and MP basically disappear on her because of the wedding, Cookie who desperately didn't want to be a baddie, and Russ who got himself lynched almost instantly, and she still came really close to pulling it off. If she had survived this lynch and one more, she would have won.

Interesting side note, .Roxy had a lynch stop from one of the contests, and she was Mister Ford, so there was a possibility that her and SVS would be the last two players alive during a night phase. Roxy would have then gained Killface's Night Kill as a power, and they both would have killed each other, causing no one to win. I'm kind of sad that didn't happen.

S~V~S made headlines today. But not the good kind like you want. After putting up a valiant fight, she finally went down in flames. Once again, the mall has become her Waterloo.

Nevertheless, she'll always be in my slide show.

S~V~S has been lynched. She was Killface.
Congratulations to our winners, Epignosis, Mac's Mom, Made, Nijuukyugou, Roxy, Saberfish, and Sig.
Except just kidding about Mac's Mom and Saberfish. They broke the participation rules, so no win for them.

It's actually less than 19 minutes now, but I got caught in linki

Hmm, 19 minutes left and one vote in. This should be interesting.

Makes planning the lynch post difficult though.

Yeah, but hers was pretty weak compared to yours.

LARPing? Really, dude? I cannot believe you actually went along with that. For being the only player dumb enough to actually participate in such a ridiculous display of nerditude, Epignosis starts today with one lynch vote.

Come on, man. Think it through next time.

DisgruntledPorcupine has been killed by Killface.
You have 24 hours to find and lynch him.

Welcome to LARPstock! By the runes of Thindor it's going to be fun!

Your assignment for tonight is to create a character and roleplay as that character for the entire night period.

Too bad Russtifinko doesn't get to be in on any of the fun. And with a brand new gazebo to show off and everything.

Rustifinko has been lynched. He was Phil.
You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

Who finished off the Xtacles?

The mean streets of town were a rough place for the poor players. A lot of them have been dying, and that is sad.

But G-Man was optimistic. For some reason, he just had a good feeling about this day. Nothing was going to stand between him and victory.

Was his optimism justified?

My sources say no.

G-Man has been killed by Killface.
And then also his head exploded. It was all like boosh!
You have 24 hours to lynch the culprit.

Well, guys, it's been a bloody couple of days. But you made it out of the hospital and you're feelin' fine!

"Vote, G-Man!" said everyone.
"Not likely," said G-Man's magic 8-ball.

But he did anyway, and Train Island just kept choo-chooin' along.

No one has been lynched.
You have 24 hours to submit your PMs.

Man, it's been a bloody couple of days. Y'all should get down to the hospital and see about getting some help. Too bad no one has insurance. Cause man, those super-intelligent radioactive waste-covered ants? That's a dangerous combo.

Mac's Mom has been killed by Killface.
Movingpictures07 has been killed by Mr. Ford.
HamburgerBoy's head has exploded.
You have 48 hours to stop the killing.

"This is a real pickle," said Epignosis.
"Ooh! We were supposed to get pickles!"

Nobody was around and they were lazy also. Yet, dumb luck sometimes prevails.

Ika has been lynched. She (I actually don't know Ika's gender, but it ends in an A so I am going with she) was Wendell.
You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

Yes, and your vote counts, just to teach everyone a lesson.

I gave you guys 72 hours. There is 45 minutes left. And only ONE person has voted? Are you kidding me?

Less than four hours until the poll ends.

Metal marsh is about to spam in here even though he is dead. Don't tolerate his monkeyshines.

Ah, the Annihilatrix. It cost $20 billion, but it's still a piece of junk. No matter, let's meet there anyway for some killin'.

Tiny Bubbles has been killed by Wendell.
DharmaHelper has won the Cat Party contest, but it doesn't matter much because...
Dharmahelper's head has exploded.

Due to a wedding at which your host and many players are guests, this day will last a little longer. You have 72 hours to lynch a baddie.

Guys I'm at a debate watch party. Will do the post when I get home. Probably an hour late. Thanks for your understanding.

Cat party! Everyone's favorite kind of party!

Tonight, I want you to surprise and amaze me with pictures, GIFs and videos of cats. It shouldn't be hard. The internet is made of them.

Do a good job, and you may be rewarded. Fail, and it is your own peril.

Made doesn't like cats, so he is not allowed to play. Also he is dead.

Made has been lynched. He was Torpedo Vegas.
You have 24 hours to do cat pictures and night actions.

Who's going down to chinatown?

"Wow, this invention convention is tight!" said Dharmahelper, but then he was distracted by the wave of death that followed. Turns out this whole idea was a little... convoluted.

Timmer has been killed by Wendell. He was Xander Crews.
Long Con's head has exploded.
Roxy has won the invention contest, and Nijuukyugou has won best presentation.
You have 48 hours to lynch a one hitter quitter.

We can't ever go back to Vegas!

Inventors,
Do you have a great idea, but just haven't had the chance to show it off yet? Well now's your chance! At the 52nd annual Crews Company Inventors Expo in Las Vegas!

"I like to call it Lost Wages," said Made.

Submit your idea for the killer invention you've always wanted to make in the thread, and you could win a fantastic prize!
There is also a prize for best presentation.

Also, Cookie is dead.

"That's the way the cookie crumbles," said Epignosis, and then everyone punched him.

Cookie has been lynched. She was Simon.

I won't do so, however, since I am a participant.

Is that better?

Aboard the Xcaliber, the Xtacles were even more uncoordinated than usual. They had made no progress towards thwarting the Wearin Kelly, and and that was bad.

"The Wearin Kelly?" said Epignosis.

"Er, I mean the Villain Killface."

Elohcin has been killed by Wendell.

It was mayhem as everyone accused everyone else of... something.

"Where are the quiet people?" said Made.

"Boosh!" said Mac's Mom. "Quieter than you, quiet boy."

Everyone voted in a mad rush, and there were a lot a ties. Until...

"Yeah, take that Metalmarsh! I guess that makes you a... oh, I had something for this."
