    I also got multiple PMs, I think that's the norm, getting triply-drafted?

    Except that the Decepticons had an awesome "true" network that lead the team to victory.

    Lead by Mixmaster, of course.

    Yeah, the Decepticons were doing great behind the scenes, most of it occured in my PM box. God that was a tedious game, but fun still. Getting caught between B:L and Squashua fire was fun let me tell you. D:

    Vote Megatron.

    I was doing pretty good before the whole Autobot network thing. On the first day I contacted Squashua and cj iwakura because I had no powers and figured I should live dangerously. Sure Squashua was a Decepticon, but he straight up told me that, cj turned out to be the seer and we both managed to ride out the rest of the game.

    Man, if I hadn't already made a nomination, I'd have seconded the "Do-nothings in Phallout". Fortunately, someone else did. Wow, that was bad.

    Instead, I nominate !Zot for the Secret Phalla where he practically handed the Archon team into Teserack hands
    !second. Or !nominate Zot, however I'm supposed to do it.

    Although, really, that game was as much my fault as anyone else's. I failed to make good recruitment choices.

    For those of you not familiar with the Secret Phalla and Zot's screwup, I'll post a little summary, as I remember it.

    I was the head of the Archons, ChicoBlue was the head of the Teseracks. Zot and...was it Plutonium, can't recall...were my first two recruits, while I'm pretty sure Green was one of ChicoBlue's first. We tried to recruit Green at some point. While Zot was talking to Green to try and convince him to join us (which wasn't going to happen, since switching sides wasn't possible, at least with the powers we saw), he dropped my name as leader of the Archons. I died shortly afterwards.

    Are you forgetting that it was Starscream that lead the Decepticons to victory? Because I did win that one for the Decepticons and myself.

    BTW - how did I not die in that game even thought I was so asking for it?

    Because the Autobutts were saturated with juicy targets to kill, that's why. They ran out of bullets in their mad endgame killing spree, and you were left standing.

    My fake Unicron reveal in Transformers was hilarious solely for the number of people who believed me and sent PMs declaring their alleigance to me.

    But God, that phalla as a whole was not the greatest. Splitting the two teams 50/50 might have worked out okay if Lightbringer hadn't got it in the neck.

    Man, doing nothing on the second-to-last day in Phallout was not stupid. Assuming one survived, you could see which win condition was more likely on the second day and go for that one. I seriously doubt that I, a ghoul with a knife, would have a serious effect on the outcome of the battle anyway.

    If you ask me the silly thing was all the people abandoning all of us in favor of some fake people, but I know some people get defensive about that, so whatever.

    Actually, when I think about it, lots of people made decisions in that phalla that lots of other people didn't agree with. Honestly I think it's better to just stay away from that phalla altogether.

    Depends on your motivation. If your motivation was "I just can't bear to contribute to the slaughter of fake people, but I don't want to turn on my teammates either" then it's no worse than the people who defended the Vault because they sympathized with fake people.

    But like I said, people made all kinds of decisions in that game that lots of other people disagreed with. I think it's best to avoid the whole phalla altogether for this category.

    I have to disagree. If you didn't do anything the last 2 days of Phallout you hurt every one. The goal was to get into a vault, the final choice was get in to the vault by killing your friends or the people living there. You had to make a choice to get the win - if you didn't you boned every one else.

    Those people are the care-bears that should get the award, I love every one and will loose to make sure every one gets a hug.

    so me tell Green about it, even copy and pasting this PM from him asking why the fuck it was

    3 days earlier me not alive yet so me don't assume Green is not one of the friends

    me tell him me not going to say the name of our leader, but it slips in just once

    me didn't even not notice it had slipped out

    me was just being illogical when me contacted Green

    Did you attempt to kill other players in order to side with the vault's citizens? If yes then you aren't whom they are talking about, if no then you didn't really help them anyway.

    Eh... I still count that one as a win. The caravan didn't make it into the vault because there were two people too many. Had it been clear that "no vote" == "keep doNothing's alive" We would have won easily, no matter which choice was made.

    I'll catch up on this later, but I'll !vote Grundlterror for almost getting the whole village to vote out the seer (Digger Dude) on day 1 of CJ's Vampire phalla. It was so rediculous, I had thought there would be only one seer, not one seer per faction (IIRC) so I called on the village to kill him minutes before vote close... and then I think I got them to switch back so they didn't kill them.

    Also, my letting the Giovanni (shamus) onto the network was pretty fucking crazy as well.

    In a way what I did was just as silly and idealistic, in the face of what I knew was going to happen. I knew everyone was going to fucking turn. I was better equipped than half of them (I had power armor and a mess of stimpacks) I'm sure I would have survived if I had turned also.


    But I fought

    of a more inclusive win condition

    Ah, yes, I suppose you do have a point. Still, drunkenly telling him my name... *shakes fist*

    As I said though, I sucked at choosing other people to recruit that game. I was probably in an apathetic period at that point, so I didn't put as much thought into my actions as I should have, as the noble leader of the Archons.
