Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (End Game)

[Black Rock]

I knew it aapje.

He played it beautifully.

[Turnip Head]

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.

I need to apologize to you. I made your win condition too hard. I have learned my lesson and will try something else next time... In Recruitment V - Back to the basics - Back To Earth!

You know I'll be back for more. Can't wait for the next one

Thanks again BR and LC for hosting this, you guys were amazing.

[Marmot]

Did reywaS win?

[Black Rock]

Did reywaS win?

Yes

[Golden]

Did I win?

[Marmot]

My favorite part of the game was when I tried to lie detect this statement.

Long Con was all for it and Black Rock was like WTF guys?

Damnit...sorry I missed the lynch. I've been busy this afternoon/evening...I thought i had until closer to 11pmEST. Oopsie. Looks like it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

You had until 11:12 EST

sorry..I meant 11 pm central time. I'm stoned.

[Marmot]

Also reywaS has one as the Rogue Mercenary.

Ah, he is the Number One winner.



:P

How the F was I supposed to know if it was true? Fly over to reywaS and look into his eyes?

congrats winners!

AND TOLD YA I WAS INNOCENT.

[Ricochet]

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.

[Black Rock]

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

[Black Rock]

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...

[Black Rock]

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

Is your civilian perfect record still intact? Lol, I thought you'd finally broken it!

[Tranq]

Team Uzbekistan ftw.

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

[Sorsha]

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

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

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

[Bullzeye]

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.

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.

[S~V~S]

Yay

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

[Bullzeye]

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.

[Bullzeye]

Yay

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

Congratulations

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.

[Golden]

Yay

You really deserved it.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Most posts?

Yep, I win.

[S~V~S]

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?

[Bullzeye]

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.

[S~V~S]

Yup he was our second recruit.

[Typhoony]

Congrats to the winners

[aapje]

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.

I thought Aap was on Ahriman with me. THAT DAMN MONKEY

I knew it aapje.

Which is why this game ended now instead of me trying to go for last man standing :P

I've been on to him for a while now, just couldn't be sure enough to get rid of him.

Night 12 I guess?

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.

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

[Bullzeye]

Fair enough. I still suspected you, you crazy rotten schemer :P

[Bullzeye]

I want to be recruited by all four sides so I can play them all against each other as a shadowy mastermind.

Also just remembered this from day 0

[aapje]

The game has ended, Team Ubzargan has won, congratulations to S~V~S, Metalmarsh89, Tranq, Devin the Omniscient... and appje. Also reywaS has one as the Rogue Mercenary.

[aapje]

Oh and I'm really glad JJJ didn't trust TH enough to tell him about team Ahriman. That would have been awkward :P

[Draconus]

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

[Draconus]

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

[Roxy]

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.

[Bullzeye]

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.

[Ricochet]

ayyy for crying out loud, MM was unlynchable again

[Bullzeye]

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.

[Ricochet]

Scotty, noo! You rezzed me.

And then I insanified you.

[S~V~S]

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

Aww

alas

hissssssssssssss

[Ricochet]

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.
