congrats winners!

AND TOLD YA I WAS INNOCENT.

#6565

Jesus Christ...

Congrats to everyone!

Uzbargan was dead all along?

I thought I asked if "Team Uzbargan" instead of "Uzbargan" implied something in the Host Kill Posts, the first time it happened. WTF

TinyBubbles wasn't Team Uzbargan. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

At least Team Azura didn't win. Killing me twice, Llama-san? Grudge much? This will not go unforgotten, sir.

I'll say one more thing, before returning this afternoon with spreadsheet madness (:Uhh:)

I had no fucking clue I was recruited, I swear. BR forgot to tell me.

She went "uhh well this is awkward" when I sent my last contest to be recruited, before dying the second time. So apologises for bickering with everyone (aapje, Scotty in particular?) about being unrecruited and needing to survive. I did it cluelessly - but, in a way, it was still genuine.

Cool? Cool.

When was I recruited, anyway? Which contest did I win?

Also, who rezzed me? Let's put the rezzcruiting bullsuit to rest, as well.

LOL, LoRab asked for BTSC with me. Just... lol.

#6566

Recruitment order and contest winning will be coming... probably after I sleep though it's 2:20 am for me.

#6567

Before I head off to bed I want to just say that I am real happy with my players and teams. These teams and even unrecruited players on a large scale were so engaged and involved. I have never been so happy with how the players played the game. So intense. Thank you. You make a hostess feel awesome.

Edit: Even though you kept on killing off my high posters and kept me from breaking the posting record. This by far has been the lowest posting recruitment game. Recruitment 1 had over 10000 post and held The Pianos record... just saying...

#6568

Bonus points: Who can tell me where the first "Seemer" made it's debut?

#6572

Team Uzbekistan ftw.

The highlights of the game were the TinyBubbles and DrWilgy lynches. That plan worked out great

#6573

Congrats Winners!

My only regret is that I didn't get to eat more people. I thought I was going to have a big night tonight

Black Rock wrote:Bonus points: Who can tell me where the first "Seemer" made it's debut?

A World Apart on LP? And wasn't it LoRab?

#6574

It's interesting, I was surprised we recruited aapje because I was sure he was on Team Uzb. Should've pushed his lynch when I had the chance, I genuinely believed we were gonna win this and am kinda gutted we didn't! Well done winners though, I did say I wanted the other baddies to win if we couldn't.

#6575

Turnip Head wrote:Lmao at aapje double crossing everyone I was told he was on Team Azura. Grats winners!

I enjoyed trying to win as my role but I had a lot of bad luck with my Guardians. JJJ and LoRab both died as soon as I found them, and nutella wasn't interested in helping the Guardians win :P I felt like a complete non-factor most of the time I had a ton of fun though as I always do in BR/LC games. But Recruitment Mafia games always have a way of breaking my heart.

To be fair, nutella did want us to win with you and did ask us to rezz one of yours. She also defended you a few times in our btsc. We just didn't have any reason to trust you and were only keeping you around because we didn't need you dead. You kept coming after me and Llama so we weren't really keen on helping you, and didn't want to use our team's rezz on someone who wasn't aligned with us in case you just used us out for your own ends and then sold us out.

#6576

Yay

This is the first time I have won one of these.

#6577

In a btsc forum chat, on the 29th of August, Llama was unnerved by aapje suggesting we should have 4 recruits when we only had 3, and I suggested perhaps it was because aapje was on the other team and they did have 4 so he assumed we would too.

I mean, yeah, I called all of this a full month in advance. Psychic.

Did your team know aapje was a dirty four-timing traitor or are you just as shocked as we were? I feel like JC and OA must have felt in Lost: Rev.

No idea. I am glad he did not bus us though, at the end. Was he in all the chatrooms or just the bad ones?

Also Devin says he did not kill Typh, so who did?

That was the night Llama's power was swapped, and he ended up with Devin's. He targeted Typh I think just randomly. Incidentally, we also didn't try to kill Epi that night. Our kill target was Bass, who must have redirected it to him.

I'm glad you didn't know because that means he didn't sell us out at least!

He was in our chat, no idea about any of the others but presumably he was in yours as well.

#6583

Yup he was our second recruit.

#6584

Congrats to the winners

#6585

Well that was a fun game. I had fun being in 3 btsc forums and chats at the same time

I took a bit of a back seat when I was on all teams since it seemed a bit unfair to use my knowledge to get a team killed. Instead I focussed on getting anyone I did not have btsc with killed

Got pretty close by rey survived that last kill

I did prevent my different teams from killing each other on a couple of occasions though.

You were wrong about your reasons though. Both teams had the same number and Rico made the wrong assumption. I corrected him on it

GO TEAM!!!

:airguitar:
My Internet capped out last night before I could see the result. Awesome job guys

#6591

Amazing job on hosting this epic game BR and LC!! You guys did a great job keeping everything together and writing those awesome posts!

#6592

Yay for the winners!
Amazing game as usual BR and LC!

I liked being unrecruited and causing chaos with my abilities.
I lasted a lot longer this game by specifically trying to stay unrecruited.

#6593

I didn't expect to be recruited at all, and turned out to be Llama's number 1 pick!

Roxy, your tactic almost fell at the first hurdle because you were in Llama's 3 choices for his first recruit. Good shout though, I thought for sure you were on Team Caelia.

#6594

ayyy for crying out loud, MM was unlynchable again

#6595

Another weird thing: For LA's recruitment, we'd been asked to pick five players and three roles, and to say whether we'd prefer to have our pick randomized from the roles or the players. These were my suggestions (which we ended up going with):

Roles:
War Monger
Druidic Elder
Deathmask Shaman

Players:
SVS
JJJ
Nutella
Rey
Tranq

Not only did we get both a role and a player we'd asked for (we randomized from players), but I managed to name Ubzargan, one of her recruits by both name and role, the soon-to-be-SK, and a civ recruit. It's possible that our selection came down to a coin flip between LA and Rey, quite an influential decision.

Are the btsc threads going to become public, as it was suggested they might? Would be interesting to read everybody else's schemes, I'm always intrigued about that sort of thing.

#6596

Scotty, noo! You rezzed me.

And then I insanified you.

#6597

I considered an all Dutchie first list but felt both Typh and Aapje would be too predictable so I went with Tranq because Survivor

I chose two people I had never had BTS with before; G Man because i thought he would be fun and I know he's smart, and Rico because no one would ever expect it and I would like to get to know him better both as a player and as a person. But I got my first pick. Like bea said best team building strategy, recruit people smarter than you

I still don't get why I failed at every recruitement contest. Nobody wants me.

That is, until I didn't...? Still don't know when I was recruited, because of the Hosts forgetting to tell me, lol.

Did you try for Azura? In our two contests we picked Canuck because she used a funny/entertaining song and Aapje because he sent us a small essay on why we should pick him while the only other person sent in one sentence.

#6601

Congrats to the winners! Thanks for the game, BR and LC! I had fun.

But most importantly... I've still NEVER been lynched as a baddie! You had me sweating there at the end that I would break that streak.

Actually, I stayed away from baddie recruitements the first times, heh. I only finally sent Team Azura a one-liner recruitement bid, around the time I died for the second time. Oh hey, that was probably me you mention, lol. But that was when I was already fed up with competing and losing over and over again, so yeah.

But there were contests without specific team designations. One time I wrote a bio story for Uzbargan, without applying for that team.

#6603

Well done you sneaky, sneaky winners.

Fun fact: In my initial role, the Jilted Lover, I selected DFaraday to be my lover. My Epic Challenge was that if my lover and I both survived past Night 7, we could have won with each other's team and we would have had permanent BTSC. I picked DFaraday because he's got a decent history of flying under the radar and making it deep into games. I was freaking out when people started eyeing him up Day 1 and Day 2 for this very reason.

Even more fun fact: I chose DFaraday as my lover. When I subbed back in, I replaced Bass 2.0, who subbed in for DFaraday. I ended up being my former role's lover! On Night 3, I would have had temporary BTSC with my lover but I got killed before that came to be. Oh well.

Fun game, you hosty hosts. Sorry my participation was limited. With the baby due in almost exactly a month, I must step away from playing for a while. Don't worry though...

#6604

Anyway, I'm sure you all have a hunch of what's coming up from my part...

First things first, though.

Massive congratulations to our Hosts for designing and managing a game of such complexity I can only dream of pulling myself.

Congrats to people of Uzbekistan once more (I should pull a list of all the nicks that were used, btw, but I'm not that much of a maniac...plus, I'm busy), I thought Team Azura would get the glory (to my disdain at certain people in it, as well

) and that you were weakened after the Bubbles' lynch, but not only was she not one of yours, but you only lost one member by the end (well, technically two, SVS' rezz notwithstanding). You had recruited wretched roles like The Immortal and Executioner, so you pulled a mighty one.

I think I spent most of August playing this, rather than doing any serious work and yet again I contemplate never allowing myself to be this engaged, this ISO maniacal ever again, because it's simply life-consuming. My "survival" plead was genuine (although ironically wrong, due to events I wasn't myself aware of) and I was also genuine in believing I stand little chance of winning this, especially after dying the first time, 5 Days into the game. I think I did ok, but that's about it.

I feel vindicated in calling Llama's bullsuit from day freaking one (I think I said at one point that maybe it's my time to be on the losing side in our confrontations in which one suspects the other and the other slips away towards victory...well, near victory in this case - what foreshadowing!), even if it fell apart due to, ahem, "intrusions". All is well this time, but if I'll be sussed for being personal in my baddie hunting ever again I'll be pissed the next time, and the next time Llama will weasel his way out like that I'll vote to lynch him till the left click on my mouse gets broken.

Also slightly vindicated, I think, of calling out rey, nutella, Devin (I think?), even though that doesn't compensate for my BWT blunder and for giving others (such as MM) passes. I think it's very telling that killers such as rey or Devin were left to coast as low posters in this game.

Overall, a truly epic and creative game, although it has to be noted that the fun bar was dropped low quite often and between more than enough players. And when even veteran combative players are getting fed up with it, maybe it's time to reflect... I'm in this myself, I'm fully aware of that - in fact, I got my first friendly visit from the Mod of Duty in any game so far

- for which I apologise. But I still apologise only partly, because I still stand by my principle: if I want to debate and discuss and I'll feel as if trying to use logic with my partner is like hitting against a wall, I will hit back hard.

And now, here comes the flood.

...Actually, no, I'll post this and work a bit more on the big one.

Oh, my role:

My epic challenge was to save two teammates with my powers. Big fat chance there, never being recruited until late.

My odds of the power working improved by 10% every cycle.

I insanified Epignosis on Night 1, but he was killed. (Irrelevant if it worked or not)

I switched LoRab's positions on Day 2, from position 5 to position 2. If it worked, it means she messaged a clan that Day or Night, no idea which.

I didn't get to silence anyone on Night 3, because of the early Night end.

I gave JJJ a random potion on Day 4, no idea what it did. No idea if it worked, either.

I forgot to use the negative vote on Day 5, because of the massive TB train. aapje, this is the part where I'm confirming that I genuinely forgot to send a PM, you can stop hounding me now.

I switched SVS' position on Day 6, from position 5 to position 3. I guess she didn't lockdown the thread, in order to not out herself to me. Sneaky snaky.

OR it didn't work, even though I was at 70%, I think.

I didn't get to silence on Night 7 either, also because of Roxy.

I insanified Scotty on Night 8. I did ask the Hosts if they can throw in a "Goochy-Goochy-Goo" as well.

I took away LoRab's vote on Day 9, at a time where she voted for TH or something. Anyway, it was a symbolic gesture, because of her voting the same two people every time.

#6605

This is my first time playing an outed baddie. It was fun.

You did switch SVS' position but she chose not to use her power.

I'm curious to see a list of epic challenges and which ones were completed!

#6607

Lulz, Apple monkey. Fantastic job.

Great game, hosts.

Thanks, team! Sorry I was useless.

Mine was that if Golden and I picked the same option for position five twice then we'd gain BTSC and I think would win together. It was ruined by the end of day three, but I didn't mind too much since I got total control over my powers. Even if I did never get to use an alignment check while it mattered.

Linki - Canuck, you weren't useless!

RE: Staying unrecruited: Same here, actually. Fulfilling my epic challenge would have caused me to become indi (capable of winning with any team). It was becoming increasingly difficult to complete my challenge though, so I decided to submit something for the final baddie recruitment. I was Uz's last recruit
