    Figured. That's why I was trying to make you think I was guarded because I could not have taken another day of that.

    Obi was a True Believer of ECW so would always win with them, and his spreadsheets helped SOOO MUCH postmortem :P

    @kime did you break my cool little role/faction counting matrix thing on the spreadsheet? :(

    I didn't get access until the spreadsheet until like .. today. So I ended up contacting Mega and Kilroy to get them to change their votes. Drez I would have definitely been messaging you if you voted for me or Kime :p

    I ended up targeting you for attack tonight. Glad it didn't have any appreciable effect.

    Probably not the smartest move. You were the second vote target I think. I thought people were just dicking around - I didn't realize everyone aside from me had so much knowledge about everyone else.

    I had 15 hp, so unless a bunch of people had finishers left or like 7 people attacked me tonight - that wasn't really a worry.

    and smart

    I assume you tried to convert me night one?

    I wouldn't have killed you night two, but I had 1 HP and couldn't leave a converter alive. Sorry!

    i absolutely tried to convert you night one because you were either pulling a con or were being so public that the other converter would almost certainly take a shot at you

    Figured

    And me being the overparanoid player that I am, I thought Langly was the actual converter and you were covering for him. Especially since it took you a while to come up with answers about your role, I thought you were getting them from Langly.

    So we killed Langly night one instead of you

    And then I realized I am a dumb

    So, overall impressions:

    ECW dominated this game. @Infidel told me he does not like pure faction games because whoever takes the initiative day 1 usually wins the game. I still don't necessarily agree, but in this case that wisdom bore out.

    I was shocked that all specials save one or two outed themselves to Obi. I'll take the blame for that I guess, since I didn't make it clear that outing yourself was not a great idea. It's something I'll remember for next time.

    The point of this game was, as you can tell by the PMs, to test out conversion style mechanics with evolving win cons. Of course, this being Phalla, all the converters were dead by the end of day 2.

    I was kinda sad at the fact so many players went inactivus and how little soft networking there was after day 1. Most people shut up. I'm going to guess the 9 PM vote close plus summer equates to most of those issues. I will not do a 9 vote close again. Lesson learned.

    Talking with @Goose! I agree I should have included tag teams in this game acting as Masons in each of the 3 villager factions. It might have spurred more soft networking. I had them included to start, but took them out in one of the last edits.

    As for the damage, quite simply, I screwed up the math. I changed attacking to 3 damage literally as I copied over the data into the OP, then forgot to update my spreadsheet. Only 1 other player would have died that night (Obi), but by that time he had done his damage. I do feel bad about changing the values, but it was the fairest solution to the problem, since I screwed up.

    Anyways, thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed it.

    Tag teams would've been a really good idea.

    My other suggestion would be to include non-aligned players so that there are several network nuclei in the faction-having guys and others who can either join them later or cannot ever join them, for one reason or another, to add an element of risk to being like "hey guy what's your sign?"

    For the records, the tag teams, before I pulled them, were The Outsiders (Hall/Nash), The Dudley Boyz, and the Flock (Raven/Saturn).

    Yeah, a bit unusual for me, but I figured I'd try going all out in a pure faction game for once. Langly it up, so to speak.

    This was definitely the dirtiest game I've played so far. Lots and lots of lying.

    No, that was me. Once we'd ID'd everyone, I just used it to keep count of what number of faction people were left.

    Oh yeah, so for those not behind the scenes, Obi converted my the first day to ECW. He also got Capfalcon in our group to make three trusted ECWs, and then after he died we got Gizzy involved. That was the main group of conspirators to my knowledge. We did it all via PMs, no Proboard.

    I was wary of Obi but not wary enough, but I wanted to believe since he was the only dude to contact me and it was my first phalla in a long while (whenever the last hangout/SE phalla was)

    Next time you guys want to let me into your conspiracy faction have Gizzy send the PM about it before I go to bed. I like conspiracies!

    I trusted Obi so much that I used my vig on him day 1...

    I almost always picked good for my vig (pure luck here...), but the close time was one of the harshest (3AM for me) so I didn't even try to start softnetworking...

    I actually seered you at my own choosing before teaming up with ECW (Obi didn't trust me b/c he thought my powers sounded weird).
    I picked you because you have a few games under your belt, but are still new enough that I thought you'd live - hoping you'd show up ECW and I could team up with you.
