    So yea

    Big mistakes I made was accidentally quoting Stew_Stick when putting his SPECTRE message into the narration and arsing up Wildcats password

    But hey, there is no such thing as bad experience

    I'll see you guys and gals in a week.

    To Austria after I get some sleep!

    I take full credit for FWD surviving... He was going to get seered and I basically said I believed he was a neutral.

    He would have seered as evil and burned.

    You're welcome, FWD :P

    Oh, and very good game all. I don't think I've had anything even remotely as inbox intensive...ever.

    Gumpy, shouldn't iamtheaznman technically be in the winning group? I was nice enough to make sure we converted my last teammate rather than kill him or something.

    Wow, I got played. Seems like the village was insanely outnumbered from the start.

    I was converted on the last day. Trust me, I was all D: about it but there wasn't much we were going to do against the cult even if I hadn't been.

    Though it's hilarious that it took me the entire game to fuck up and finally kill a civilian. Yes, it helped that I totally missed I got to shoot people. I still have the inactivity burn marks.

    I was horribly inactive and am a jackass.

    I apologize to Gumpy.

    But not Kin. It was kinda funny seeing him get so paranoid.

    As long as your argument against me is nonsensical, it is a shoe-in.

    Its going to be a hard choice on who to grudge kill next phalla. You or FWD. :twisted:

    Prolly FWD, I don't know why but I just can't hate TehSpectre.

    It was great, Kin PMed me to make sure that the guy on the programmer's board was actually me.

    I was all "What are you talking about"

    He PMed me back "Oh shit."

    Followed by my, "ololApril Fools"

    But didn't you know that he was seered innocent?

    TehSpectre: That happened right after the retardness that happened on the hacker boards forcing me to reveal myself and for Trust to be tied for our attack vote. I was feeling really dumb and paranoid.

    Er....I voted for somebody else. I mentioned TehSpectre because he'd been unusually quiet and others latched right on to it.. Oh, and typically right when I start getting involved with a game lately I've been shanked shortly thereafter.

    This time I just got turned evil.

    This is why my nonsensical argument comes into play.

    I pointed out numerous times that I had been inactive and was going to try and clean up my act in the thread.

    Role PM:
    SPECTRE is back

    and so are you.

    It followed you to Canada? or maybe its just fate you meet again. You, Squashua the Admin, will beat it back across the border.

    You're an experienced programmer and hacker. You can fight it and you can win.

    Everyday, you may send a short message to the thread via me.

    Everyday, you may do one of three things.

    You may shut down someones access to their network
    You may Trace someone, seeing what networks they are part of.
    Or Download data from their hard drive.

    You win when SPECTRE and its allies are defeated.

    You have two health

    You feel fine.

    Eh yeah, this was not a good week for me to be in an intensive role. I guess I wasn't sure what all the powers did exactly. I wasn't sure if trace was supposed to be a seer or if it was only meant to see if people were using a proboard. The download ability was a power steal ability I thought? I never really seered anyone that had a power I thought was worth using this on. I also thought that shutting down people's access would just get them a temp ban from their proboard.
    All in all it seemed like my time was better spent trying to seer people than the other two.

    Night one I seered tehspectre because I thought it would be ironic if he had to fight himself. I found out he was a Programmer, and since I wasn't really clear on if the seering was actually what that ability was I wasn't too convinced at anything. So I decided to contact him. Here's what he said:
    TehSpectre wrote:
    And guess that you're a programmer. How I know this is for me to know and you to find out.

    I need to know if programmers are allied with the village or against it.

    Depending on the answer, I've an interesting proposition for you.
    I am against SPECTRE!

    The problem is, I really don't have any great abilities.

    I can, uh, make a proboard or see if someone is using a proboard. That's about it.

    Which really made me think I couldn't trust him, and lead to me advocating a bandwagon on him.

    When the beans were spilled on Stew_Stick I decided that I didn't want to metagame it and give him a day to live. I guess killing him that night probably wouldn't have gotten us any closer to victory. It was fairly frustrating (mainly due to my busy, busy week) to try to coordinate things through PM, although a board wouldn't have been any more secure due to conversions.

    When I first read the narration, I thought fading was a good guy. Then I read the message which really gave it away.

    When I read the narration again I realized fading wasn't really for the village (were the rogues for or against the village? I haven't seen anything posted about them...) which is what made me decide to give Stew_Stick the extra day.

    Also: In the end I decided to download SPECTRE to my hard drive as a convenient plot point in case Gumpy wanted to ever run something like this again. :D

    Yeah, this is pretty hilarious looking back on it. Again, not really knowing what my abilities really did, plus there was the way you acted the entire time.
    Time for me to not be in two phallas on weeks where I have three tests and a paper due. D:

    I didn't really get to pay much attention to the game at all because of obscenely busy work schedule. At first I didn't even remember I had a special power, and when I finally did I died. :( It's a shame because I had a fun ability: I could copy anyone else's special ability.

    Anyway, sorry about not being active. I guess I should have had the sense to withdraw from the game when the craziness at work started.

    I was really disappointed that you weren't using PMs etc on the hacker's proboard, as I was hoping to read 'em to find out what you were up to. :P

    So Kin basically tells me my login/password for the Bravo board and I immiedately erase my PMs, tell my board mates to do the same and post a giant warning about the board no longer being secure. Since Lawninator died right after I and iamtheaznman just switched to PMs here.

    I felt bad but Gumpy would let me change my password....(Though I was kind enough to ask before I did it.)
