Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I gave it some thought but seeing as the only people left that knew I was in the network were one special and one mafia I figured the village would shit on it. Confirming an action seer/ earth master on day 5ish would be a pain in the ass. Especially since from what I could pick up the mafia had WAY too much influence over the village.
Edit-Thanks for hosting Delmain and letting me be a replacement that had something to do!
I also need beer.
Most of my hunches were right, as it proved, so I don't feel so bad about being a dumb noob.

Once Aang died, it went down my ordered list of players, Aang -> Katara -> Sokka -> Toph -> etc all the way (potentially) to the last Earth Kingdom Citizen on the list. They got the same ability Aang had in his opening PM. It was basically an immortal seer role. It had the potential to end badly, especially once Aang seered a thrall, because you could send it out with another player.
In fact, that's what I assumed would happen at first when the seer went on tzeentch. I didn't expect him to be invited to the proboard, I expected him to get control of the seer until someone figured him out.
Anyway, thanks for running, delm.
Oh, that is an interesting seer ability.
I can't deduce for shit I was completely wrong.
Sorry for the inactivity I was busier then expected.
Ahahaha, oh damn. We seriously got so lucky.
Like it/Hate it? I was trying to keep it alive longer with the caveat that there weer thralls and millers.
Man, I saw this when I was rereading the thread and I did a double take. It was awfully funny.

I knew it! Dammit... You're a goose Tz. <3
Future thought, stay with my gut.
Sad point, no ironic 'fire nation on fire nation crime' on my part, even though we pretty much had Egos pegged.
What is it about me that leads people to think I'm suspicious, anyways? I either get vigged or I end up under the nearest bandwagon. I just don't have a lot to say. That's all.
I am, you just haven't played enough games with me
As I said, in the open.
I've played, what, three or four with you now, and it has seemed you did most of your investigations behind the scenes. That might just be a string of weirdness, but that's what I've seen so far.
I invited Tz because after I posted my seer results no one commented about doing anything, so I sent the invite myself. If there had been a serious discussion of segmenting the network I'd have done otherwise, but that didn't happen.
Again, my bad, but this result couldn't have been totally unexpected.
haven't followed the game after my early demise, but thanks for hosting delmain
PM if you add me!
Yeah, this game did end up being easy for us. But this was mostly because of a lucky set of circumstances for us wherein we were able to off all of the specials so quickly. I don't think there was anything wrong with the mechanics of the game. And apparently even though the existence of thralls wasn't explicitly stated in the game's description it looks like there were at least some people who suspected their existence anyways.
Well, the annual Phalla awards should be coming up sometime relatively soon. I'm sure this game will get some consideration for something.
delmain you are the worst of all possible hosts, a plague on your house, ptooey ptooey
You were too bright for us to leave you standing. Honestly, I believe more of our kill selections were based on deductive and knowledgable players rather than suspicion management, although that was certainly a concern. So take your early death as a high compliment.
Thanks for running this, Delmain. Sorry I wasn't more involved. I dove in right in the middle, and didn't have as much time as I might have liked to look at stuff.
This doesn't mean much to someone who hadn't seen the show before, 'suspect' being a fairly open term in phalla. Poor luck giving the Aang role to a non fan.
No, it has nothing to do with the game, but "what motiviation do I have to reveal myself" in any game let alone invite them?
People really should learn something from this game not go "oh it wasn't anyones fault good game Del!"

Agreed. We had a strong network going, revealing should have happened after everyone else was decimated.
My only complaint of the game itself? No Avatar State. I think that would have been a rather interesting twist, and might have leveled the playing field after the Gaang decimation. Overall, pretty balanced, and fun, for as long as I lasted in it.
*grumble grumble, fucking zuko, killed.... grrr... grumble grumble*
Fun game, thanks Del! Would've probably been much more less one-sided if not for our lucking out with tzeentch. That was a hell of a deal.
To be fair, the village had some members that were well versed in the source material. Enough so that the possibility of thralls (because the thrall mechanic is exactly how the city fell in the show) was known. Warning of the possibility of thralls would basically be nothing but notification that thralls in fact were present.
I can see how communication of the possibility would affect the game, and I think in this case it would have had a more negative effect than leaving the possibility unanswered.
The thralls were well done seeing how GARRET FUCKING CALLED IT COMPLETELY and that concern was ignored. For no reason other than "let's make friends."

Man, you should've heard the debates I had with TehSloth over possible implementations of the Avatar State. Rest assured though, it'll be around in some form for the mini.
So, what exactly was Sokka's master's win condition?
Survive till the end OR train someone else.
He got lucky because Infidel was revealed.
So who could he train? I mean, could he train any warrior or what?
That seems a bit easy for a win condition.
