    I had fun being consumed with blind fury the entire game. I was sure someone would kill me on suspicions of being a baddy for it earlier.

    I'm glad I got converted to the winning side. In the beginning I was the armada that chose to vig. After getting converted, I got to keep my vig ability. Abotkin kept me in the dark though and a couple of times I wasn't home when he told me who to hit, so there was no kill.

    was total miss on this, I'll admit. I didn't get a good read on anybody, and that is terrible. The only thing I noticed was how bandwagons pretty much were unanimous, no real conflict goin' in arguments. That was when I was like "Damn, this guy is probably a good guy" and still would have nothin' to work on.

    Next time, pirates!

    I'm still unsure about the balance of this, reading the mechanics more thoroughly. Maybe that's not the right word, the entertainment value. This was going to invariably end with one side completely wrecking the other, no in between. Given that the Armada got to keep their kill if converted, even with adequate networking they were bound to outpace us with sheer quantity of kills.

    Oh, that's another thing. I gave people the vote totals.

    On one of the days entitled "Unanimous" SpectralSpork hadn't voted for Dac Vin, but the vote total still showed that everyone did, this should have been a red flag to people that something was mucking with the votes. Not that it mattered at that point.. but.. still..

    Yeah, it's really tough to pick up on those kinds of signals if you're not already aware of that kind of thing. Looking back, you think "Oh, yeah," but at the time it just seemed like interesting narration. To the colonists, I mean.

    With three mason groups, the village should have done *much* better in finding bad guys. I'm slightly bitter that the pirates were the only reason the delegation was even made aware of the Consortium. It would have just been so cool if nobody even knew we existed, then it comes about that we took over the whole proceedings without even killing anyone.

    Oh, well. There were a few days that seemed like there were a lot of kills, I think there shouldn't have been quite so many.

    Well, I'm pretty comfortable with the number of kills, This mini lasted 8 days total (it would have lasted 9 but I called it a night early when there was no possiblity of a good guy win)

    I think I'm gunna run another mini in a few weeks to test out the concepts I didn't get a chance to this time then I'll be set for my main

    Once again guys, thanks for being great sports and staying interested in the game (some of you even posthumously)

    That's correct.

    However there was a passive chance for all Galac-Tek employees to find out that someone had been tampered with.

    The chance was 5% per living member, which meant 20% every day at the begining, that chance doubled if the subverted vote was different than the living vote.

    Sadly it never came up.

    Is it my fault I'm so good at it? I promise I won't be evil next time :P

    And if I get bandwagoned on my first non-evil role I'm sooooo gonna grudge whoever starts it.

    Not if you don't vote me for the good things! And if you always vote me for the bad things! That's directed at everyone else, of course, because Daius here was my loyal supporter. He was the only smart one!

    Yey though, fun game! Horrible village, not hitting a single baddie, but I've managed to completely absolve myself from any blame! Good job pirates.

    Oh, and I liked this line in particular:

    My own.

    I came up with Blankstar Sysblank because I couldn't come up with a name, and while I was making my posts, I thought it would be fun to replace/block important words a la government redaction/mad libs. At no point did I try to make my posts actually meaningful in any way (they were probably best left ignored). I was just trying to have fun; anyone who disliked it hates fun. :)

    The funniest thing is that you were our first subversion target and we were temporarily terrified that our subversion had given you a post restriction.
