    Alright, so, is The_Ender just a weird guy? Because otherwise he is acting mighty suspicious.

    I noted that he was "@ing Supercomputer in some of his posts with bolded role names. I asked him about it and he told me that he thirsts for my ashes.

    Which seems like a rude thing to tell someone, honestly.

    Suspicion is a reliable monarch, no doubt. But the walls have already fallen.

    He cannot help you now.

    You're making dolls out of my hair, aren't you?

    You can now add a patient who became psychopathically obsessed with Stephen Dawker to his background :D

    Well let's see if anyone has vote manipulation then.
    Wiet

    I don't see that he's done anything wrong, but it probably doesn't matter anyways.

    You need to loosen up, Phyphor.

    Keep posting like that and people are going to think you are a Cultist.

    Hah. If I was mafia do you really think I'd be getting myself noticed like this? Despite his protestations, he needs the game to keep going after the mafia kill count dies down to catch up, so while he might take one or two out to appease the village, that's it.

    Alright, time to take off my persona for a moment.

    I have been in contact with a lot of people. They, understandably, don't want me to kill them. I asked them who they were and what they could do to help me. They all, except one, claimed to be village and had a dinky little ability. I am having almost all of them use their ability tonight, done in such a way that I can confirm that they used it.

    Here's the funny thing guys. I pretty much only lose in one of three ways:
    I don't kill more than the Cultists, the guys who have the most kills
    I don't kill someone each night (basically two nights without killing and I am almost dead, despite my godly health pool)
    I get voted off.

    The hilarious thing is that if the mafia tries to kill me, they can. It takes a while, but they can through normal and special damage. But then they waste their time killing me and not killing you. And I get more kills while they dink around.

    So they only real way for them to take me out safely is the vote.

    Right now I have it set up for people claiming to be villagers to Guard, Mindscan, Heal, Remove Guard, and Enhance Damage. So with my coordination, I can kill someone each night with my basic attack, freeing me to use my double shot on two people instead of the main super canon on one.

    So you have the choice of a murderbot who wants to kill the mafia to reduce their power quickly (and one neutral to appease the neutral guy who contacted me) and has basically already soft networked out the ass and is unkillable as long as he keeps killing.

    Or you have Wiet.

    See, the really funny thing when I got to thinking about it, is that this is an Edcrab phalla. A faction phalla. But everyone has a power. So as long as I can test to see that power is coming from that person, I can tell who is the weak (aka village) and the strong (aka mafia).

    And that's the joke.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Basically, I can kill one person each night and live but fall behind the mafia and lose.

    Or I can try to kill two people each night, but if I fail twice I die and multiple failures and I lose.

    Yeah, it sounds like I am the god who cannot die, but when you consider how fucking hard it was supposed to be for me to keep killing every night while also getting two kills on some nights to win, it was SUPPOSED to be hard.

    But then I revealed and I have people who can remove guards and double and triple damage done.

    It was only when people started revealing and I was checking data from last game did I realize that vanillagers all had dinky, shitty abilities and the mafia and factions had the godking ones. Me being unkillable lets me be a soft-seer! If @Edcrab wants to change the rules to make me more vulnerable after this night, he can, because I might have broken the game.

    Can't blame me for playing my strengths and trying to break the game in my favor!

    Honestly Rend, it's because I was the murderbot again and you've been a special each and every game. I figured you were something, and since you didn't contact me to defend yourself as merely a dinky vanillager I assumed I was right.

    Do you even know if there's a renegade faction in this game? There was a renegade in phallakinetic 2, but I didn't play him. There was a renegade faction in 3, and it was public from the start. There was no renegade faction in 4. In prelude and 2 i was neutral. In 4 I was village special.

    And I didn't realize I was obligated to participate in a goddang role call to not get an antimatter cannon leveled at me. I guess that's my bad?

    You may or may not be right about me being special, and specialness is certainly a pattern. But I have literally no pattern of which side I've been on.

    Sorry, Renegade = Chaotic in my head. I assumed that that faction is your acolytes.

    If I were the renegade it might be true. or then again, it might not be.

    But I don't want to die, and in the event that I will, I won't go out without a fight. Considering you called me with no real basis for suspicion, I can make a strong case.
    Day 1 of course, blah blah, but that doesn't make my day 2 corpse feel any better.

    Sorry. Not lying about the murderbot. You're getting both barrels tonight and based on the aftermath of last game, it's unblockable. That's something I only learned about after last game was over, so I am assuming that the doubleshot has the same properties since nothing indicates otherwise.

    Unless you have more health than a god, you are dead.

    EVERYONE SHOULD AT LEAST READ EDCRAB'S INPUT ON THE LAST GAME TO UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS OF THIS GAME AND WHAT THEY MIGHT EXPECT.

    http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/comment/19467593#Comment_19467593

    MURDERBOT THINKS THAT OBLIVION IS THE HUGE PSIONIC DAMAGE THING FROM THE OLD GAMES IT SKIMMED SO IT ISN'T AS WORRIED. MURDERBOT ALSO THINKS THAT THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PART OF THE ARCADIAN SYMPATHIZER SLEEPER AGENT WHOSE MECHANICS WERE SAVED TO A LATER DATE. MUDERBOT COULD BE WRONG.

    QUOTED :
    Oh, and as everyone was no doubt wondering, CaptainPlanet82 was the Guild Elder: a sleeper role that always seered as friendly to mindscans, and always seered as hostile to Investigates. He turned up lime in narration because despite his name, he was an Arcadian sympathiser. In the right circumstances he'd have been upgraded from his puny little stats, but I intend to reuse that mechanic at a later date so [CLASSIFIED]

    The physical/psionic damage dichotomy played less of a part than it usually did in Phallakinetics; mostly because Beta Team never got the chance to utilise their defensive powers, which would've involved picking a gigantic resistance to one or the other, and the Exigent Organisation would have found something very similar. But the game's two robots were immune to psionic damage, which at least opened the door to some interesting uses of Constrict/Obstruct.

    BASED ON WHAT MURDERBOT HAS SEEN FROM VANILLAGER CLAIMS, THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST TWO ROBOTS IN THIS GAME AND THEREFORE MORE PSIONIC IMMUNITIES.
