The Syndicate

No prob. Like Golden said, I tailored it specifically to represent my own all-important contributions to the game.

Epi the night I protected Sam was there no night kill because of that?

I believe so, yes.

Looks like I got one thing right.

We literally couldn't have done it without you!

Ok lets not kid ourselves.

Well maybe. I think the line was razor-thin between Civvie and baddie advantage for quite a while there in the latter part of the game, so a crucial Civ survival probably made all the difference.

Hey Bass, sorry for messing with you as Pilate!

Ok, here's the Moses decisions:

Night 1 - Death of the Firstborn: "If Moses chooses the Death of the Firstborn, Death gains permanent BTSC with the first dead person. This person is still dead, but can cast a vote. This person cannot cast a vote if Death dies." Metalmarsh (Samson), got the ability to vote and make it count. Also shared Death's win condition?

Night 2 - Boils: "The target is in so much pain, he may only utter complaints." I chose Absalom, who I suspected in connection with Uzziah. I said "I wonder what boils his blood?" to maybe hint at least to him that I was plaguemaster Moses.

Night 3 - No Plague

Night 4 - Lice: "Anyone who votes for the target will take a vote." I chose Rachel as the target, because I suspected her. I don't know if the voting thing affected anything.

Night 5 - No Plague

Night 6 - No Night 6, because Ruth was lynched and night was skipped... I think.

Night 7 - Blood: "If Moses chooses Blood, War can force two people to vote one another in perpetuity until one of them is dead. The survivor, the next Day, may only post using words that have been used in dead red." So, this was the reason Lot and Lazarus had to keep voting each other? What about only posting in words that had been used in dead red? Did that happen? Wasn't there a previous pair of people who had been forced to vote each other?

Night 8 - Locusts: "If Moses chooses Locusts, Famine can silence the Heathen with the most posts." What happened with this? Did Famine silence a Heathen?

Night 9 - No Night 9 because we got Mordecai?

Night 10 - Pestilence: "If Moses chooses Pestilence, Conquest will be able to substitute a dead name on his faction with a living name from another." MP07, as Conquest 2.0, any word on this? Did it help you?

Night 11 - Tried Frogs, but I didn't get that I need a target until too late, so it was cancelled.

Night 12 - Frogs: "The target must mention a famous frog in each post." I targeted Rahab, and I hinted heavily before the night was over that he might have a posting curse. Turned out to be a very mild curse though, and inconsequential. I don't even know if my hint would have been understood... as in that I'm Moses.

So that's Moses for you. I affected the game in awesome and unknown ways as I kept to the shadows and out of the baddies' way until my victory. In the end, Rahab made such a great case against me, but Golden and Juliets' instincts proved to be too much for even a really good case to fool. Great job guys!

And now, I go to clean out my Pilate sock.

Moses
The leader of the Exodus will inflict someone with a plague. *Secrets*
Moses will choose a plague to inflict on someone. The plagues are: Blood, Frogs, Lice, Flies, Pestilence, Boils, Locusts, Hail, Darkness, Death of the Firstborn.

Blood: The river has turned to blood. [War]*
Frogs: The target must mention a famous frog in each post.
Lice: Anyone who votes for the target will take a vote.
Flies: The target will be harassed by flies and off the poll.
Pestilence: Disease has desolated the population, even the fighting men. [Conquest]**
Boils: The target is in so much pain, he may only utter complaints.
Locusts: The crops and fields have been ravaged. [Famine]***
Hail: The targeted will be blocked.
Darkness: This is darkness that can be felt. The Heathens lose BTSC for one phase.
Death of the Firstborn: Mourning and wailing fill the land. [Death]****

*[If Moses chooses Blood, War can force two people to vote one another in perpetuity until one of them is dead. The survivor, the next Day, may only post using words that have been used in dead red.]
**[If Moses chooses Pestilence, Conquest will be able to substitute a dead name on his faction with a living name from another.
***[If Moses chooses Locusts, Famine can silence the Heathen with the most posts.]
****[If Moses chooses the Death of the Firstborn, Death gains permanent BTSC with the first dead person. This person is still dead, but can cast a vote. This person cannot cast a vote if Death dies.]

Wow!

Definitely. Elo and Blooper, you both played an excellent endgame.

It was fun. I think everyone alive in the end played very well. I think my biggest mistake was not voting Deborah. But I thought it I threw the last vote on Deborah, it would look like a baddie throwing in the towel on her life.

You know, if you had have done this it's quite possible I would not have figured you out. I have a blind spot when it comes to people saving me. But... I really did trust Pilate, so it may just have been that I would have lynched you and Rahab the other way around.

I was just relying on your good instincts to trust my words and not vote for me in the end.

Ha ha, I can't believe some of the things I was responsible for! I love it!

Yeah, I decided to take my chance as a near-inactive this game, and it actually got me through. I still can't believe it!

Your flippity-flop between suspecting Rachel and Absalom and then suddenly not was the pinnacle of taking the piss.

My entire game was... I just couldn't get my mind around it in the beginning, and then there was so much to catch up on when I was getting deeper and deeper into the Flash game. So, I went with the low posting, skim-read-catchup the whole game. My suspicons were just gut and post-analysis. Vompatti's ploy was too easy, I was really happy to finally have something legit to say.

Your endgame reminded me of Film Directors where we almost had you for lynch instead of the last baddie (...from the other baddie team that wasn't us ), nicely done and great win.

Looking forward to you revealing perhaps which nights did you use your curses and on which players (for those that involved direct targeting, instead of Horses shenanigans).

I will reveal them soon! Gotta go through my PMs and compile.

LC was Pilate?!?!?!? Whaaaat

A departure from my usual style... and it got me the win! Who woulda thunk it?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Contrary to my list, I actually did go after Pilate, even though he was stuck in my winning faction at that point (even though I was going to swap him the same Night I could no longer move names), because at that point I knew I seemed super civilian to everyone, and with Deborah's flip, I felt the civilians deserved to win more so than everyone else. I figured I could still pull off a win, if I was lucky, even if I sacrificed Pilate, so I viewed it as a necessary sacrifice, since the importance of helping the civilians win this game was nearly as much as winning the game for my own sake at that point.

No sacrificing of Pilate!

Ricochet wrote:And I don't think Epig explained it, but Samson became my "Angel of Death" after he died and he became my first target. He shared my win condition and was allowed to vote, but not post on-topic. He refrained to vote for a while, because all the lynches were straightforward, but the day Isaac and Mordecai got close, we stood by and, under my command, he made it a tie. Unfortunately, that completely backfired on us and got my killed afterwards.

And MM totally outed himself in the BTSC by signing as "MM89-Phone", right after Epig specifically sent us PMs in which he told us NOT to out ourselves.

MM's tale as Samson is so ironic, I can't even. Signed up as sock, still gets killed D1. Gets stuck with me in BTSC, like old mafia chums. Depends his win on me entirely. I lurked in the chat and jumped in his place during the Second Trivia Game, without warning. He gets the win after all, even though he lost D1. Epic.

You didn't get Samson because he was your first target. There was another mechanic in play for that: Moses.

Hey, that's me, Pilate! I was Moses! Tell me more!

....still catching up on the Postgame. More comments to come from Pilate, the Inactive Wonder-Winner!
