Surprisingly. He spent more time taunting you guys in the thread than he did in the BTSC chat. I think I seen him log into it maybe twice. We started Pm'ing him what we wanted him to do just to make sure he seen it lol

Moses did it. Blame Long Con. Four of the ten plagues benefited one of the horsemen. Blood let War pick two people who had to vote each other until one of them was dead.

War's normal power was just to add onto people's win conditions.

Starting what day, Daisy?
What do you mean by force voted, though?

Who killed me?

Why?

Who was Absalom?

Lol, weren't you lynched?

Silencing: Nicodemus did? On D2, when he silenced three people at once? At least that's my assumption.

Absalom was Llama aka War.

I think it was not the day before he got lynched but there was one lynch before his lynch. I'm not certain though. I did not vote him either. By force vote I mean when a Roles ability is to control where you have to vote. I was under the impression people believed those feuding had to vote for the person they were feuding with, but I was under no such restriction in my feud.

Oh! Ok, that clears it up for me. Thanks Epi!

I'm so late to the party

Great game everyone, and congrats to the winners!!

Epi, I really enjoyed this game though I would have liked to have lasted longer Sorry about that Bible Trivia. I was way too stoned Doesn't happen often, but I had fun playing it anyway

It was my first time playing a sock game, and I really wanted to milk it as much as I could, so I tried to act a little crazy, but it back fired and people kept saying I was both defending Paul and questioning him. Let a person have fun damn you people :P

Then, like Ricco said, I had the time zone problem. You have no idea the lengths I went to to try to hide it. I never posted at the same time with the Flash game. I'd come in in different hours, until I got fed up.


Llama, I'm really impressed with how you played! MP, I thought Paul was a great sock persona for you. I loved how you played him. Golden, you did a great job making it a civvie win. Too bad you couldn't get passed your obsession with me being bad :P
I seriously don't get how people didn't get Jacob's hints. I found that so frustrating, as well as going after Issac and Jonathan. But I had my share of mistakes.

I didn't figure any of the socks except Vomp, naturally, TH, who posted as Jonah just as he does as TH (which is why I followed his vote on day 1), and SVS, who I thought was Ruth. Other than that, I knew nothing.

I figured Jacob must have been hinting at Joshua from what everyone else said, but I'd really like to know what the hints were.

I went over his posts with a fine tooth comb, and found stuff like people 'flooding the thread' so eventually I thought maybe I had it wrong and he was actually hinting Noah.

And yeah, sorry FZ! I'm pretty sure we've never played with each other before, but you just seemed so shady to me lol. I am known for tunnel vision issues. Plus, going after you did double as saving Jonathan, who I didn't think was bad.

Oh and yes. I lie when I say I figured out no socks. I did figure out Vomps.

^I don't remember what Jacob said, but I think he hinted that he's the reason there was no night, when we lynched a heathen.

And no, we haven't played together. It was a pleasure playing with you, apart from the fact you got me lynched :P . I forgive you . Funny thing is, I think I'm usually a transparent civvie...except for when I'm not and llama and Epi badly want to lynch me.

RUSS VOTED FOR YOU OUT OF NOWHERE






And I still don't know why.

I was glad to have detected Jacob's hint, because I'm usually not good at detecting anything. He basically said something in the vein that civs need him alive, especially as long as they keep lynching Heathens. Clear Joshua as prolonged day.

FZ., you played well. I could tell it was you right away and that you were trying to shake up your game a bit, so that's why I fed off of you at the beginning there, haha, that was fun. Especially as a fellow high poster who gets frequently eyeballed, I could tell you were having as much fun as I was with the fake identity. :P

It's also why I suddenly came out of nowhere and defended you hard, as Stephen, since I knew it was you and it seemed like your very genuine civilian-like defense, but then I got a bit paranoid at the end. I did the same thing with Isaac/Devin, since the two of you seemed to play your civilian games to a T, but I still had a little bit of doubt in the back of my mind every once in a while.

Of course, I think I would have played much more balls to the wall as Stephen if I was actually a civilian... I dropped off for a while there due to being busy, but I think I would have tried harder if I wasn't essentially independent. I was trying to avoid getting NKed and I didn't want to attract too much attention to myself.

As for this, I was hoping Russ would make to the Death Note postgame, but I suppose with RL he never did. He told me that he just highly suspected FZ. was bad and was casing her heavily after Llama agreed with him. I think he didn't even check her because he already felt pretty confident and wanted to know about other people he had no clue about. :P

I was actually very close to turning on you...

Someone - Pilate perhaps? Had speculated you might not be a civilian the day before. But I thought you were doing so well the heathen really were bound to kill you that night. So I kept my trap shut. If you'd survived that night, I was intending to come out suggesting Stephen might be bad, and his instincts seemed a little too good...

Yeah yeah...keep telling yourself whatever it is you need to tell yourself .................For what it's worth, that was probably the best reason out there to go after me




But I don't know why he did that either



linki: That actually disappoints me. I was trying so hard to not seem like myself. So you're saying I can't fool you?

That's funny because my instincts are usually terrible. I've actually played a few good civilian games lately, even in this where I wasn't a civilian. It's been great! I hope I can keep it up. :P

Don't worry, apparently I have a gift at uncovering everyone's identities behind socks. I've always been good at it. Daisy was trying her absolute hardest to fool me, but I could tell with 99% certainty that it was her within her first two posts. She did make me doubt myself a bit for a while there, but thereafter I could just tell. It was similar with many others. Don't ask me why.

I did create a spreadsheet to track all of my sockpuppet guesses and obsessively spent hours over figuring everyone out, so maybe that's why. :P

Yeah Rico got my hint. I was trying to be subtle, it didn't really look like a hint so much as mentioning the consecutive-lynch thing as important and also saying I was important for civ chances. Glad it worked out and I survived all that suspicion though.

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.

Correct.

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?

This was why Lot and Lazarus had to keep voting each other.

Yes- the survivor was supposed to use words that had only been used in dead red, but given the way things went, I didn't consider Lot a victor. Lazarus kept not voting as he was supposed to, and so I waited until he missed three votes to punish him. Because this wasn't one of them getting the other stoned or slain, I didn't think it was right to enact the curse.

And even if I had, let's be real: All those massive dead posts Balaam had been making would have given Lot a sufficient vocabulary to work with anyhow.

Long Con wrote: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?

Famine was dead by then, so no.

Long Con wrote: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?

He won, so I would say yes.

Cheers, LC. I think your Lice curse on Rachel didn't affect anyone, since she didn't receive votes on Day 5, as far as I can tell.

I'm gonna write down that Samuel (Spacedaisy) and Mordecai (Xth) got feuded on Night 7, based on Daisy's guess, at least until Llama confirms it.

Oh, it also seems you never used Hail.

This was a cool game. Sorry for messing up so bad. I think I set a record for not posting or voting as my sock.
Epi the night I protected Sam was there no night kill because of that?

Hey Bass, sorry for messing with you as Pilate!

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.

Isaac2.0 here! Whoa, too much end game discussion to catch up on. I will just come in and say Great Job Civvies!! And horsemen, too, I guess.
Very fun game, Epi! Well done!!

Thank you for playing, O people of Sin-d'kaht. See you on the other side of Judgement Day.

It is one of the most impressive looking banners I've seen in a long time...

Until I realise that LC just made it a picture of himself. He should have just put Pilate washing his hands right next to Moses.

Indeed. Well deserved

Thanks for the banner.

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

I contributed nothing to this game, except perhaps one or two exciting lynches.

I believe you're understating your contribution to the civilian win, since Mordecai was lynched at your hand.

Spamming every thread together has proven quite preciously funny on a Sunday afternoon.

I learned from the best.

Maybe if we moved this game into the Museum section, Frisky Dingo will fill up faster because people will see an empty game section waiting for action.

That idea makes too much sense to employ.

Yes... entirely too much sense.

This game had been in the Job forum for almost 3 months. It had a good run.
