    I can't speak for the others, but it seemed to me that if we had blown off your move orders we would have started dying off sooner than we did, so we danced to your beat.

    Oh, I was certainly suspicious of people that didn't follow orders, which is why until the end I thought Last Son was a thrall of some sort and Burnage was up to no good. But I really didn't follow up on mishandled orders that much, actually. There weren't that many people that didn't follow movement requests, so I didn't really feel like bothering.

    I don't think I sent out very many orders on the space battle days, and there was never a day where I told everybody to move, but there were a few days where I told 1/2 to 3/4 of the playerbase to move. Yay for spreadsheets. Yay for players telling me their roles.

    So, what would have happened if I were the last survivor? That might have been a weird narration.

    I actually thought about that in the beginning. I was thinking along the lines of you setting up some kind of a human zoo on some planet, and starting an endangered species program under the care of the Plutonium models.

    For the record we wanted Trust and Delroland to both die from the start. Which ever didn't bite the vote was getting Martial Law'ed.

    You're talking Day 9, right?

    Yes. It was in response to the fact that Bliss said the Cylons would have won if it wasn't for the "last-minute" martial law kill on Trust.

    Well the seer role and the double miller role went hand in hand, but you got it randomly of course. I did get a chuckle out of it when I saw the RNG results.

    Yeah, I kind of expected that, but we were hoping after you seered Trust you wouldn't be thinking "Thrall!" that late in the game.

    We actually never seered Trust.

    This was the plan:
    Delroland/Trust were found on Myeye's ship.
    CJ/Psyco were found on Coregoon's ship.

    Seer CJ/Vig Psycho
    Vote Delro/Law Trust.

    So yes if we Seer'd Trust, it could've been a different game, but bear in mind we were also very suspicious of the Trust Admiral vote.

    in contact with coregoon - he says Plutonium is a seer, and that he was seered by him, says plut gave correct info about who he was, Coregoon claims to be a junior scientist, who can get a cylon detector, should the senior scientist die. Also says he's a soilder as generic villager pm

    Someday I will be networked. Someday.

    Good game, though. Sorry I questioned you so many times, azn - you really did do a great job. Thanks for sharing info, too, there at the end. Keep the village involved and all. <3

    And awesome job setting up the game, Bliss. The mechanics were really neat - the ships and the nerve gas concepts being my favorite.

    Here's hoping Admiral B doesn't have to touch a spreadsheet for a while. Poor guy deserves a break.

    Damn two humans left. So close.

    Thanks to my fellow toasters, you guys were a great team.

    I think we could have done a few things different but hindsight is always 20/20 so I'm not complaining too much.

    I'm glad I came back to play this one but it looks like I may have the Phalla bug again. Bring on the next one

    Good game Bliss, that was a fun one. And my griping aside, the mechanics ended up being pretty balanced, considering the end game result.

    Pulled together at the end.

    I got you Pollo because I noticed that your voting pattern Day 1 was the same as Osvik, you both voted for Pollo as Admiral than changed to RUD.
    Gumpy I seered because he was getting position votes the day before that.
    PsychoL because he was the last of the survivors.

    Than of course the next day I noticed that Coregoon/Myeye's killers were on the same ship. Leading to Trust/Delroland and PsychoC

    Trust wrote:
    There are 25 players left, 8 of whom are us.

    17 villagers/specials.

    We can make a great deal of impact -
    9 possible kills over the next 3 days from us.
    3 kills to votes.
    2 kills to ML.
    3 kills to Vig
    17 kills in total.

    At some point we will have another fleet battle, killing another 2 or 3 hopefully. We're pretty much guarenteed victory here if we stay the course. Can anyone see a way that we can get fraked? They have to hit us with every attack they have left to stand a chance of beating us.

    And we did hit you with every attack :).

    It was actually 5 vig kills, though, since when I inherited the power, it came with two.

    I just finished reading through the Cylon proboards. I think my ego's about to burst, haha. Really, iamtheaznman put together most of the information necessary to put together that comeback victory. I just supplied the spreadsheet. One mistake in those last three days, and we would have been doomed.

    Great game. It was incredibly intense being in the Admiral's seat the entire time I was able to play. I don't remember if it was mentioned by Bliss, but there were hidden mechanics for the President and Admiral. The Admiral could quarantine one ship per night; no players could move in or out of it. I exercised that privilege only once, I think, when Burnage stepped aboard before the second space battle, so iamtheaznman could hit him with the virus. I probably should've used it again the day of the battle to keep Seriously from moving aboard, but ah well. As for the President his seer result returned the player's role name as well as the special/nonspecial result. That was definitely useful for interrogating seer targets.

    As far as RU went, if you had replied to me stating you were a(the) vig, I would've believed you and given you a night to kill somebody.
