We wanted to poison a player that was likely to make it far into the game and would be hard to lynch under normal circumstances. So, you. :P

GG to everyone, though. Especially Golden. I held it as a possibility in the back of my mind but didn't want to believe it. Realistically, civs lost that game a long time ago. But I'm proud to have made it that far as one of the good guys. It's never happened for me before, not even close.

Thank you to Long Con for putting together another awesome game full of well written posts and incredible characters! I had a great time

If you lynched me, you guys could have won! It was so unbelievably close.

I actually really wanted to catch FS online at some point to talk to her about switching to you. I stopped checking in after awhile and started gaming with my friends

It wasn't because of suspecting Golden, though. Although I kept the possibility in the back of my mind, he totally had me fulled. I definitely had trust issues this game, and it turned out both teams were after my vote. to Tranq and SVS. But I wanted to switch my vote because I thought it would be fun to see SVS get her revenge.

You never hung out in our chatroom Good to know you were rooting for the Typh and Tranq team and not the Turnip team. Now we know where your allegiances lie

Maybe she was hanging out with me & Juliets. We were on that team too

Yes, but you aren't one of BR's mafia foes like Typh, Tranq and myself are. :P I bet that was a fun chatroom to hang out in though.

Golden wrote:Also, @Draco - the reason I didn't entirely trust you is that you never targetted me for a quantum key. How did that work?

I could only leave keys behind on the squares I had just left. If we had met in another square for btsc I had the option of just handing you a key. No target actions involved.

Thanks for the great game LC and BR. It exceeded all my expectations. Well hosted as always.

And this was one of my favorite teams for sure. Getting BTSC with Sorsha again after I betrayed her in the first World Apart, and then watching her swindle Golden for days, it was beautiful.

fingersplints wrote:Damn you baddies I think if Draco and I had found each other in map btsc we would have stood more of a chance. I think there was just too much discovered too late. We did the best we could though. We were up against too many good baddies.

Thanks for the game LC and BR. I had a lot of fun with my role, and loading up on a bunch of useless crap at the end there I didn't care about the explosion or anything SVS. What I was excited about was that people saw my presidential campaign poster. Some of those took me a while. (I had an unused wanted poster for Timmer as well) So I wanted everyone to comment on my images. I was so happy for that role poll so everyone could just talk about me

Agreed completely.

I was kind of upset that you didn't get to try your buddy up to Timmer idea. Once you posted it in the chat I copy and pasted it in our Circle chat.... we had a good laugh

I was upset when Metalmarsh killed me for no reason. I was especially upset when I found out at end game that Golden was recruited and won the game after playing most of it as a civilian lie detector and mistakenly revealing everything he knew to scum players from both teams.

Forgive me for having the hurt butts.

In retrospect, killing you was a mistake. I hope you'll forgive me for that.

I didn't think it would be so dang hard to lynch the Circle.



Golden was my second choice of players to protect. But I'm glad I picked SVS. It was fun being teamed up with her and Tranq (again!) even if we were doomed.

It was NOT a mistake to kill Mac~ he was still dangerous to us even if he was not an SK. And we were not doomed by the Circle, we were actually Doomed by Lorab. She killed Typh, and blocked our Splints kill. She tanked us more than any other single player.

I have repressed all memories of Dune

I was so close to not going on the same square as Epi and instead going in the opposite direction.

I had the feeling one of us would die, I was hoping timmer would've killed Epi and then I could have gotten Timmer lynched and brought Dom to life. Though I didn't quite trust Epi, until we were both dead.

This was a really fun game, thanks for hosting. My role was awesome.

Oh and LC will you be making a third edition of World Reborn?

It was dumb luck that timmer ended up there with you guys. But we knew we had to execute the double kill if we were going to do it at all, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

So much had to come together for that to work. I found the Obsidian Dagger on my first movement, it was hidden in a black chest in a square named the Corner of Death Then at I5 I purchased a warp potion which allowed me to instantly move to Epi's square and stab him in the face.

I don't know. Considering that survival was his win condition, and we had the leverage against him if it came down to it of both a team kill AND a Golem kill, I think he could have been a boon.

And the bonus would have been important, having another person on our bloc, and an unlynchable one at that.

The corner of death existed? Excellent!

What about the Turnip Square?

I don't know, but there was a square where you could choose to send Canuck $100

That was such an intense game. We had one night where Tranq had to decide whether to use a parchment he found to add two extra votes so he wouldnt get lynched or go with the tie, depend on a coin toss and use the parchment the next day. We were crazed that night (Typh wasnt there) trying to decide what to do. Turned out we used the parchment but it was a cursecrafter item and did nothing so it ended up a toin coss and Tranq died anyway. All that angst over something that didnt matter. That was one of the times I loved our bts the most. I can't say enough about my team, SVS, Tranq, Typhoony, Luke, as you can expect it was a lot of fun and i couldnt ask for a better team as i knew all of them so well except Luke. Almost everyone stayed totally involved even after they died.

LC and BR your games are always excellent and this was no exception. It seems like I call each one the best I've ever played but maybe that just shows you do better and better each time. I had loads of fun.

Congrats to the Circle. You were a formidable group and who was on your team surprised the hell out of me. Like others, Golden and Hamb boy surprised me the most. We had an argument in our bts about sorsha - 3 of us thought she was bad and one thought she was good. You really did a bang up job. Excellent.

And finally, for those who said i just sounded "off" I hope you realize I sounded the same as i would sound as a civ. I knew when I started hearing that that you had info on me and I was done. Its ok though i still had my team.

omg timmer will be so happy to hear that one of his items fooled somebody.

juliets, I suspected you before we got info on you. Like I said, for me it was more what you weren't saying than what you were.

I did not enjoy trying to get you lynched though

They tried to use the Parchment. If you had been alive, you would have controlled Tranq's vote and avoided the coin toss... but when the Cursecrafter died, the items he made became defunct.

Typhoony wrote:Aw we got so close in the end. Our team had quite a lot of bad luck, and then Nub Tranq loses a cointoss and gets himself lynched

Congrats Circle!

If the coin toss stings, know that it should have actually been worse. By using my Parchment, Tranq's vote was supposed to become controlled by us, so we would have shifted it back onto him, anyway. I'm guessing LC/BR forgot about that part of that item's curse, but it worked out the right way in the end!

To be fair, i only passively killed Typh. He was trying to kill me. And I only knew about it because I was in the hall of mirrors and used the master thief power to learn his role. So really, it was hi own fault for trying to kill me.

Typh... You tried to kill me when I asked for it. You are a wonderful person!!

E1 - The Vanisher Cloak is here, which allows someone to share a square without being seen

Evil killers have their kill range increased by one while on this square.
Secret: If you stay on this square for three consecutive nights, you become the Avatar of Maligna. You may now use your night power twice while on this square. Three random players will be activated at this point on a Quest Win Condition. They gain anonymous BTSC, and if all three players are on the same square, they can kill you and fulfil a Win Condition. They will know the location of the Swamp of Everlasting Night.

Location E10: Healing Spring
At this location, the vegetation grows thick, full, and healthy around a bubbling brook, and the area is teeming with happy wildlife.
You may drink from the healing waters once in the game to rid yourself of poison, curses, and banes.

It will be 5 years, but get so complicated that LC has to remove half of his characters and plotlines and we won't see them again for a further 6 years in A Dance of Worlds. After that he'll promise another but never ever deliver.

Totes.

Hey Bullz, next World game we should be square buddies.

So Typh was bad then?

I remember at one point I ran into a square with Typh, and very nearly revealed myself because I was all alone

Kinda glad I decided not to. Haha!

I'm assuming this was Day 6, I was at B4.

Good decision to not reveal yourself. You would have very likely died

LoRab wrote:Oh and whoever speculated that I'd invent a protection device was correct. An ionic photon blaster I think I called it. LC actually mentioned it in a thread. Anything I was targeted with would bounce back to the person who targeted me. Which is how typh died when he tried to kill me.

I also believe it's how Dom came to look targeted. He thought I had used the protection bubble, which would have protected both of us. But I think left the opening for me to be killed within square. But, turns out, I had miscounted how many days since I had used it so I had to switch items. Which I did late enough that Dom didn't see it in chat.

I thought Bass had screwed the target up.

Location G1 - Maze
This square was, sadly, never visited.
Items to be found in the Maze:

You may ask the Tribunal to remove someone from the lynch poll. The Tribunal will draw upon the judgment of the closest living beings to determine if your request is granted.
If you wish to take someone off today’s poll, PM the Hosts with that name and the three closest players will be given a vote to approve or deny your request.

G5 - The Mantle of Quicksilver is here, which increases a player's movement rate by 1
G6 - empty

Location G7: Fortuneteller’s Den
A coloured tent sits in this square. You find yourself drawn to it, and within, a wizened old crone smiles and gestures to a seat at the Fortuneteller’s Table…
While on this square, you may only communicate in-thread and in BTSC with standard Magic 8-Ball responses. You may find out much about the square of your choice here.

Location G8: The Nomad
In the desert, you meet a gnarled old man with a ridiculously oversized pack on his back. He greets you amicably, offering you a magical potion, if you will do something for him in return.
If you vote for the player that The Nomad asks, you will receive a Warp Potion.

Location G9: Summoning Circle

Yes! But no one ever went to that square for some reason.

Also, I realized I put Square G1 as "empty", when it really had the Maze. I have updated the post above.

I woulda checked out that island if I had had any time to explore. I knew there'd be something juicy in the hard to reach areas.

I spent my first few days wandering around a bit aimlessly. Went to J10 first because I thought there would be something neat in the corner, and found the dagger. Through Sorsha, I knew that I5 had the marketplace so I wanted to check that out. After that, all my moves were dictated by the team's mission. I teleported to Epi to stab him and take the Star Gem. Then I had a decision to make: head to the Healing Springs for the poison cure (thanks to Golden for the tip ) or run to the Statue square to recruit Dom (thanks Epi for letting me know where he was ). I decided it was more important to recruit Dom since I still had the lynch pardon. I wonder how things might have played out if I had cured myself first and then recruited Dom. I probably still would have used the pardon to save timmer, but at least I wouldn't have been implicated myself in the process.

I'm pretty sure I5s marketplace had a cure for poison. Why not take it from there?

Draconus wrote:I'm pretty sure I5s marketplace had a cure for poison. Why not take it from there?

It didn't have one while I was there. The marketplace was continually refreshed with new items.

The item I chose was the warp potion, which ended up being essential to kill Epi since I could track him down and warp to his location.

Ah I see. Makes sense.

I1 - empty

Location I2: Signal Fire
At this location is a beautiful brick patio, complete with a cooler full of drinks and lounge chairs in the shade. There are three bags here, labelled ‘Mystical Message Enchanted Wood’.

Location I5: Coastal City
Folks closer to the coast are more laid-back than their inner-city counterparts. Spend some of your pocket change at their market!
You may get one thing from the market: a potion of teleportation, a crystal pendant that shines with inner light, or a telescope to view distant squares at night.

I6 - The Scintillating Beacon is here. With it, you can set a beam of light into the sky that will be seen from all squares. Can be set on a time-delay.

Location I9: Magnetic Field
At this location, your skin begins to tingle, and metal you carry starts to display erratic motions. Some sort of shifting magnetic field permeates the area.
Votes for you are worth 1.5 while you occupy this square. Night kills have a 25% chance of being deflected from you.

Location J5: Shrine of Darkness
The ground is scorched black here, and nothing grows in this area. In the centre is a massive black totem, carved with screaming faces, demons, and twisted animals, and thick metal spikes jut from it, dripping with dark liquid. You will get no sleep tonight in this cursed and unhallowed area.
This is an evil place. As long as you are in this square, your Win Condition is removed.

Yes. Also, if you had gone to the Spirit Oracle, he would have told you so.
