    Yeah, but we learned that our planting evidence lasted through death and thus started the grand Confusefest '09.

    Our biggest mistake was forgetting that the rebels had already seered KungFu when we set up that seering so they would learn the seerings couldn't be trusted. As Toxic posted earlier we would have been home free without that mistake.

    Yeah. The last night was not smooth for me. I sent in my blackmail order on Savant too early, among other mistakes. I was in a rush last night.

    If you read the imperial boards, I post to myself on there telling the other FTs to not ask me for a link to that game or to PM Medopine.

    I think we planted evidence on me before we knew about the Jedi seer on me. We did it because the libs were seering me. Cinders seer post on me was after saying "he was concealed well but we found ties to emperor because of the Force and we rebel scum suck and ruin fun" :P

    Toxic remembered it differently. I dunno.

    Who were your four again? You, KungFu, EB and...

    Oats.

    It's just that the Imperials, mostly E Bum I think, were severely suspicious of HamHam being a Rebel.

    Is there anyone who wasn't suspicious of HamHamJ? I pushed to investigate him too because he seemed kinda fishy.

    Heh, I don't think so.

    By the way, nicely done Cinders, I didn't have a read on you at all. Good thing Corbius caught you or we would have wasted a ton of time slaughtered the FTs.

    We planted evidence on him to be an Imperial that night and were severely disappointed when your shitty Lib agents didn't find the evidence we planted.

    Then we promptly forgot about it, said fuck it, and had him killed anyway. Go team!

    There are points on the imperial boards where JK and I probably get really obnoxious.

    For the last three or so days I couldn't believe we hadn't been found out and was totally convinced Oats was going to have to solo victory it for us.

    Don't trust the FT, they are crazy as hell, and bloodthirsty.

    See?!

    Well, they were more easily manipulated than anything.

    *I* was super bloodthirsty. And not subtle.

    And I still lasted to the last day. :P

    I couldn't believe people believed the Doxa thing. I went out of my gourd that day. Add in the fact that I can't fucking count and it would have been shocking if the Prots hadn't killed me. Epic fail.

    I would like to add my commendation for the hosts to those already offered. Incredible game.

    There is no secret answer to that. I believe that he realized it was getting on peoples' nerves, so he decided to keep doing it.

    God, reading everybody's threads (specifically the Imperials), I am so embarrassed at how horrible I played this. It never even crossed my mind that our investigation returns could be faked. I understood that they could prove unsuccessful and give us nothing, and I thought that was the risk. Then that legislation comes along, the Emperor spells it out, and I think we finally have a means to know things for certain.

    To be quite honest, I was so sick of being in the dark at that point that I was probably just desperate and eager to believe that we were getting accurate information.

    Don't feel too bad, I think a lot of us were in the dark quite a bit (though the roster trading may have eliminated some of that).

    Heck, I didn't even know for sure who all the Authoritarians were until the last 2 days or so, and got help from the bugman Imperial to even get that much. Though a large part of that was due to them having some inactives, and the Protectionists being shifty.

    Don't feel bad. Before I died I sent Toxic my last thoughts on possible Rebels/Imperials.

    And at one point Rent replied to a PM I sent Toxic, and I still didn't think he was a spy. In my defense there, he was Rent's contact with the Auths, so it kinda made sense.

    I checked and it was the libs and Jedi seering me the same night. Oats told us near last minute and we planted evidence on me not knowing the Jedi were also onto me. Then they knew the truth when they killed me the next night (about the death affiliations). We couldn't had known ahead of time that the Jedi were onto me :(

    Oh, I forgot to ask about this, but why did you kill GrimmyTOA, TT? I was telling the truth about what happened with Oats and that he was innocent, and was talking with warban about that as well before going public with it. Did you think I was trying to play you?

    I mean, it worked out pretty well for me that you did kill him, but it was rather unexpected.

    I was really suspicious of EB day 5, enough that I PM'd Cinders and asked him to present my argument to the faction so it wouldn't look like I suspected him. Cinders did and we got the seer off on EB and.... he was cleared. That whole planting evidence mechanic versus the supposedly accurate investigation legislation really bums me out because I was right and there was no way to know.
