Because it was an ongoing thing.
EDIT: Eh, it's cool, Green. I threw in my two cents, and the only thing you didn't tell me about was the rebalance of Jake's powers.
I did lose internet, and they did have my permission since I was a newly created Yeerk.
They just never made it clear that they had gone ahead and switched, so I didn't know what exactly had happened.
Oh, and durax
Congratulations! You are David.
You used to be the seventh Animorph... until you dared to disagree with them. Until you tried to live your own life. Then your new "friends" turned on you. Left you to die on some godforsaken rock in the ocean, trapped as a rat for the rest of your life.
But now you're back. And you won't stop until you've made every single one of them pay.
Power: Vengeance
Every night you may use this ability to kill one player, including those that have previously been arrested.
Bah so I was to be converted and on the winning team but we mob voted that controller. :P oh well, good game all.
Edit: I also found it amusing that you guys were up and arms about me even though I was just a vanilla with that me not being able to be converted thing.

green i have to say the narrations for this one were brilliant
you ran into a little balancing problem but it wasn't bad
Geebs, what was #17? Because that's what I would've picked because hey! That's my number.
EDIT: Never mind, just checked wiki, and it's the oatmeal one. Nice.
ok guys I'm not going to lie these role PMs are getting pretty tiring because I'm trying to give everyone stories but oh god, it's so hard

Congratulations! You are The Ellimist.
Long ago, you were the Ketran known as Toomin. Ellimist was your chosen game name, as you shaped the lives of countless virtual species. Then the Capasin came. Unable to understand the difference between a game and reality, they annihilated your people or playing god with lesser beings. You and a handful of others managed to escape. Now, you are all that remains. An unimaginable cosmic event has transformed you into a nearly godlike being, allowing you to sow life all across the universe.
But there is another.
Crayak. He is your opposite. Your anithesis. Your nemesis. Where you bring life, he brings death. You can no longer physically harm one another, so you both turn your attentions to the war unfolding on Earth. Let the final game begin.
Power: Omnipotent
Since you nor Crayak can directly interfere with human lives, you must work in other ways. You may Seer or Guard 1 player each night. Seering reveals the target's Role, Powers, and Controller status. Your Guard prevents kill attacks from succeeding and prevents that player from being Controlled. Unfortunately, it does not negate the mob vote. Your human avatar on Earth cannot be Controlled, but he can be arrested. If Crayak is removed from the game, you may use this power on two players per day.
Win Condition
Crayak, Visser Three, and David all removed from play. Fulfilling this condition will not necessarily end the game.

Has anyone said that the conversion mechanic was a horrible idea for this game?
Because that's what I think.
Giving the bad guys a conversion INSTEAD OF a kill gives the bad guys such a huge advantage it's not even funny.

You see all. You know all. You rule over all. You are Crayak, and none can match your power.
Until him. The Ellimist.
For millenia you struggled to crush his spirit, to stamp out his sickening idealism. Where he sowed life, you sowed chaos and death. And still, he would not break. At last, after countless lifetimes, you finally believed your hated rival to be dead: crushed to oblivion within the singularity of a black hole. But the Ellimist survived in spite of you, now forever beyond your reach.
Or so he believed. Because you have followed him even here, to the very core of creation. You can no longer physically harm each other, but you can still break his spirit. You both turn your attention to the unfolding war on Earth. Let the final game begin.

Wow, that's a creepy image. I was wondering what on earth it meant.
So Geebs. It's kind of funny that you seered me and thought I was innocent, cause I was the one who (after turn 3) was contacting you on the Yeerks account :P
Because of that, I somehow thought you knew I was a yeerk <.<
I think I seered you on night 2, and since you weren't an Animorph, I didn't get updates.
I tried to contact you through AIM anonymously and do a "I KNOW YOU'RE A YEERK" thing but I couldn't get it to work and it would be hell of risky of me.

What I definitely found weirdest is how well the conversion mechanic did. I expected to not enjoy this game as much as most of the other ones, cause I figured the conversion would make it annoying and not too much fun, but I think I was pretty wrong. I really enjoyed the Rane-Iwakura-Squash debate, and as disappointing as it was to first be converted, I got to love that part of the game too.
I can understand it being more annoying for good-specials, though, and honestly, I wouldn't have traded places with you, I don't think.

So, this was my first time ever being a special. Actually, this was my first time being anything but a normal vanillager. It taught me a lot of things. First rule of being a good special:
The mob is stupid. If there is any doubt in anything you say ever, it will be magnified 500 times. (You Yeerks definitely helped with that, though.)
Second rule of being a good special:
Do not, under any circumstances, ever give the mob more information than they absolutely need. For example, during the fembot-Nuzak thing, we totally should not have given you guys fembot's name. If we hadn't, that vote would not have been as nearly close as it was. It worked out well in the end, but it was very close to not working out.
Third rule of being a good special:
Do not IM people. They will figure out who you are, because you are stupid, especially if your screename happens to be real_pochacco, and your aim happens to be realpochacco. Because of talking to people in IM, tossrock figured out who I was, shankill had suspicions on me, and Jimothy figured out who I was.
Fourth rule of being a good special:
During the time between the vote close and when narration comes up, leave your computer. The bad guys will taunt you in horrific, painful ways if you don't.
Fifth rule of being a good special:
Vote crunching/analysis can actually yield results.
Also, how did the bad guys know who I was? was it a shot in the dark?
I also enjoyed this game immensley. I understand how badly the conversion could have gone, but I thought it went pretty well. My only gripe is the obvious super-fast killing of the animorphs, but that had nothing to do with the nature of the phalla.
You bring the raw physical power to the team. Your Grizzly morph has done more than its fair share of damage to the Yeerks, and yet it's still not enough. Nobody invades your planet. And then there's David. The seventh Animorph. You know he's still out there, even though none of the others believe you. But you know better. And you're going to make him pay.
Of course, your family is full of remarkable people. Your cousin Jake (real_pochacco) is, of course, a fellow Animorph.
Power: Vengeance
A one-time-only kill ability. You're saving this for David, but it'll work just as well on anybody else.
Sibling: Jake (real_pochacco)
Win Condition
All Yeerks including Visser Three dead or arrested, and David dead.

First Rule of Being a Good Badguy: Don't be the quietest girl in the parade. You'll Die.

I felt kind of bad about leaving you out of the loop when it came to most of the game mechanics, sorry man
But I honestly never would have thought of this if you hadn't come up with the idea :^:
EDIT: Eh, it's cool, Green. I threw in my two cents, and the only thing you didn't tell me about was the rebalance of Jake's powers.
I'm not getting what you're trying to say here...?
I did not order your death.
But when I checked the narration, apparently David did.
Sorry I wasn't more vocal, i basically checked in every few hours without much time to spare.
Next game I should be more involved.
Ah, okay. I missed that part. Chalk it up to artistic license, I suppose.
(I like to read them and pretend I have friends...)
I believe the Yeerk players said that you were losing internet because of a storm, and you had given them permission to decide your kill
They just never made it clear that they had gone ahead and switched, so I didn't know what exactly had happened.
Oh, and durax

can i wish this mess away yet
Yeah, I think so
Sorry, dude.

When were you going to do that, Geebs? Right after seering me, or later?
I can understand it being more annoying for good-specials, though, and honestly, I wouldn't have traded places with you, I don't think.
A couple of days later, when it became obvious I wasn't going to be allowed in the network exactly.
And now I know why, damn you, Shenanigans.
I actually meant to let you in after you died, I was about to reply, then I think I went to bed or something? I don't know.
