    OH! On the EBM thing...

    I killed him on Day one on a pure hunch, you can all ask VT i talked to him about it.

    After EBM's tirade about someone doing out of spite, I contacted him and told him I did, and it wasn't personal as I really have never had any interaction with him, he just responded back that that was bullshit.


    So, I don't know what to say, but EBM was not grudge killed.

    Interesting game, I loved my role. An action seer, super powered with a chance of killing myself. Good times.

    Looking at the bug board, it seems they had a bunch of defensive abilities and good numbers, I'll be interested to hear what exactly Gumpy had going that got us so many accurate kills.

    My role:
    A Burnout! Addicted to one thing or another, you are constantly looking for your next fix. Once a day you may target another player, trying to hit them up for some nuyen or just a straight fix. This distraction renders them useless, effectively roleblocking them. This ability can only be used if you satisfy your post restrictions. Your win condition is to survive until the end.

    You are addicted to...
    Personafix!These little beauties plug right into your own personal datajack. When activated you become someone else, in every sense of the word. All your feelings, thoughts, and sensations are percieved as though you actually were that person.You must act as though you are someone famous. (Abe lincoln, hannibal lecter, the pope etc...) just let me know who you are going to be for the day. Yes it does need to be a different person each day.


    I was Michael Jackson, Eric Cartman, Jesus, Homer Simpson. I looked up quotes when I could. I wanted to help the village, but noooooo.

    My role:
    The Shadowrunners! (or runners for short). You and your fellow runners perform a vital service to society. Balancing the power of the corporations through various acts of sabotage and murder under temporary employ by other corporations. These acts are commonly referred to as 'runs'. A notoriously fickle lot, no runner is crazy or stupid enough to die for a corporation(at least not on purpose) and if a better opportunity presents itself, it is snatched immediately. Known by their employers as deniable assets, the very existence of runners is refuted outright by the major corporations. Your objective is to survive this heatwave(cranking up of Lonestar activity). As well as any other threats which might present themselves. Remember, trust no-one.

    you are...
    A Street Samurai! The only similarity between yourself and the samurai of old is you both are excellent killers. With almost more cyber-limbs than real ones, wired reflexes and an array of smartlinked weapons you are a one man army. You are the vigilante, allowing you one kill each night. Be careful though, you wouldn't want the wrong person to be looking over your shoulder when you do what you do best. In the wireless world of 2070, someone is ALWAYS watching

    Stuff should be open at Program Headquarters. Looks like they didn't get used to quite the potential I hoped (daily actions don't seem to be reported there...), but I guess it's got some stuff there. Wasn't really tracking the game, so don't ask me about anything regarding it.

    i never do that normally

    other than my inbox was so damned full.....

    yeah, I was a doc wagon.

    A guard.

    I didn't do anything night one cause my net died due to weather (STUPID Darkewolfe!!! Grudgggeeeddddd)

    Night two I guarded Drez
    Night three, I don't remember if that was the night I put in a guard order on Gumpy and got killed, or if that was Night Four.

    I died way too early.

    that sucks.

    and i'm so passing out now.

    By the way, I was never networked. In fact, I told Frosteey to fuck off around Day 6 just because he was pissing me off (not because I suspected him). [Which I regretted afterward.]

    I was kind of an asshole in this game. I'm suprised I lasted through the game.

    Day one - Shamon. I thought that was MJ's catch phrase.
    Day two - Screw you guys, I'm going home. If you didn't catch it, Rent some DVDs.
    Day three - I was all bible speak in my posts, every one else caught on.
    Day four - Your lives are in the hands of men no smarter than you or I, many of them incompetent boobs. I know this because I worked alongside them, gone bowling with them, watched them pass me over for promotions time and again. And I say... This stinks! - I loved that quote.

    God Damn Fucking Edits - Gumpy gave me the heads up, but I saw the bandwagon rolling and said fuck it. I tried my best to prove I was helping in thread, but it wasn't enough. That's why I didn't vote the night I died. If I was going to die I wasn't going to help any side.

    you are...
    A Cybermancer! Occasionally, a street samurai or other cyberware junkie will take things too far. Becoming more man than machine they lose their ability to function independently, their mind and soul corrupted to the point of uselessness. That's where you come in to "assist" them. Using your magical powers to trap their soul in their body, you allow them to continue functioning at the minor cost of being your personal slave. Each night you get a kill. Sadly, cyberzombies are not the most subtle of creatures and there is a good chance the bastard will get you in trouble. Keep him dormant though and there is a chance you'll lose control of him entirely.

    A Spec Ops! You excel at BnE, tactical subterfuge, and outright kidnapping. When the Johnson needs something done and needs it done quietly you're the one to call. Not much in an out-and-out fight, you're better at gathering information. Each night you may target another player. You will see what actions your target performed that night
    Caught the Dagon screwing Drez.
    Caught Maximus claiming my power for his own, and sent a little PM to Gumpy to restart that village bandwagon... I knew that for him to figure out what exactly the Inq was, Maximus would have had to have the Spec Op power. Didn't think another class had that ability. (Didn't know what the hacker power was. It was close, but Maximus couldn't have used it to find out if Inq was a seer, just who Inq targeted.)

    Also saw DA driving around... but... huh? huh? Had no idea what that power was.
