Hmm you seem quite knowledgeable about Kas related things...  

Not really actually. I do remember getting fooled by Rae in AG4 though 

Getting kill prioritised because of him (?) is mildly alarming but I did know I was going to be in for it once Gecko sent me a PM accusing me of being him lmao. I really meant to stick to the RPing more but week-long killer research paper just sapped all my energy/will to do it, so c'est comme ça.

Mafiaception

malfeasance it is!

no but i enjoyed ur thoughts & i meant what i said: it's nice to genuinely be surprised/taken aback by the distro

not modelling what happens if a v!kandra steals a seeker role is an understandable oversight (in that i've sometimes failed to check for breaks from the POV of a specific faction) but uhhhh ouch bruv, ouch

AN12 - Finale: Final Breaths 

<Callsign: Pearl Chameleon>

Pearl Chameleon had heard their discussions. They thought Pearl was a Saboteur. True or not, the Coinshots wouldn't care.

Pearl was as hidden as possible, but they knew it wasn't enough. They heard footsteps coming down the hall. Pearl had to fight, or die. Pearl Chameleon burst through the doorway, holding a gun in each hand. They turned to the first movement they saw and fired.

Something hit Pearl Chameleon's back, and with a single push, the coin that, Pearl realized, had just pushed through their heart, came flying back towards them, the bullets Pearl had fired in tow.

Pearl Chameleon stumbled, and fell.

Stormseeker the Cowardly ran to his room at full speed. He needed to get away from that disaster. Why were there so many lurchers on this ship? Nothing was going to plan? Ships like this were SUPPOSED to have a certain crew composition. He knew that now after absorbing the memories from the book. A ship like this was supposed to have significantly fewer Lurchers and Coinshots. Something was wrong.    

He opened the door to his room just to find her sitting on the floor, waiting. “What is going on on this ship??!” Stormseeker shouted, but his voice came out at normal speaking volume, the air warping around him as if he could see the air viscosity thicken followed by a few echoes of what he said. “Quiet. Now. And close the door.” she snapped as a bird floated down from the light onto her shoulder. Her brown eyes turned blue for a second, looking around as if she wasn’t looking at the room. “There are at least 2 people nearby who would have heard you if not for Peaches here.” The Aviar chirped happily, “There's going to be three Kases!” She smiled at the bird for a moment in thanks, what looked like decades of pain and struggle suddenly wiped off her face. How old was she? But it all came back when she looked back at Stormseeker. “As I told you before, It’s imperative this ship DOES NOT” she said, a small shiver appearing in the air, “make it back to Scadrial”. The 5 of you were chosen specifically. And look at what you did? Especially you! You’re all proud of your luck. What luck is that when it’s based on killing those you’re supposed to work beside! What did you ask of the night watcher?”  

Stormseeker thought for a moment. He didn’t remember his meeting with the Night Watcher. That was back when he was Steve Evans. A person he hardly knew. “I asked for lu-” “No you rusting didn’t,” the woman whispered angrily. “I’ve never seen a more unlucky person in my life. Everything you try to do has failed on this ship. The only miracle is you weren’t the first person found out on this ruinous ship” and she stormed out of the room. Peaches started to fly off after her but turned around for a second. “Noted” the bird said with… a seeming question? It cocked its head for a second and flew away.  

How could she say he was unlucky! She didn’t know his life like he did. He wracked his brain thinking of all of his miraculous escapes and… it did start to look like perhaps he was often the reason he needed to escape in the first place? 

He led that mission against a much smaller rosharan force last year. With his strategy and his ships they were completely demolished. To his knowledge he was the only survivor. 

He was somehow promoted after that experience to help guide captain Vulture into being one of the greats but… Vulture was already one of the greats. He had led some of the most infamous raids and missions in the past and was taking a well deserved retirement. 

He had tried to sabotage the engines before Isabel was sent and all he did was make them go faster for a time.

And now he had contributed to the deaths of 2 of his mission mates, Dugh and Arnold?

 Maybe his handler was right? Maybe he was unlucky? If that was true, how was he supposed to come even close to taking down the SS TYRIAN by himself?! 

And then he had an idea.   

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

<Callsign: Melon Dingo (provided by Melon Dingo)>

Stormseeker the Enlightened, Steve Evans of Hallandren, Traitor of Nalthis, wore Melon with Coral trim on the night he was to make his last stand.

He knew he would not be making it off the SS TYRIAN alive; any attempt otherwise would probably guarantee his death. However, with his luck, he could try to help the crew escape the pirates. 

Stormseeker passed by the crowd gathered, as was so common, by Zense. The trap last night had failed, and more than ever the crew looked to Zense for comfort and leadership. After stumbling and accidentally disturbing the music, He continued walking and headed towards the engine room. He went in and saw the 4 stations with different allomantic fuels necessary: Steel, Pewter, Bendalloy, & Duralumin. There was a shovel at the side and Stormseeker started shoveling the metals into the appropriate allomantic areas when the door flew open and in walked one of the crew. What was their name again? Like Darren or Dennis or something? The man looked for a moment at Stormseeker, confused about what he was doing here, but smiled. “Thanks Stormseeker, that’s hard work and I wasn’t looking for-” he paused and looked closer at the labels, “rust and ruin Stormseeker, these labels aren’t in the right place. this is all wrong! This is going to need a lot of work. I’ll need space.

Stormseeker apologized profusely and backed out, making sure to keep the smile off his face until fully out of the room. The strategy of trying to help was working… somehow… Maybe he’d be able to pull this off after all…

It was then the intercom came on. Stormseeker please report to the mess hall. I repeat, Stormseeker please report to the mess hall *click*

That couldn’t be good. Why did he have to seal off the bridge? Now that it was operational, anyone could use it. Stormseeker rushed over there to see what was going on.

“Well well well” Said Turquise Gorrilla, “We found THIS in Zense’s rooms!” and brandished a vial of metals. It was unclear just from looking at it what the metal was, but Stormseeker had a sinking feeling he knew. “We found a Bronze vial” Gorilla continued, “and this of course only leaves you and Flamingo as possible suspects. What do you have to say for yourself!”

“TYRIAN PURPLE!” Commanded Stormseeker and his bag spat out 2 small TYRIAN purple bags. One laced in silver and the other plain. Gorilla saw the bags and took a few steps back, “It was you!” Not responding, he opened both bags and saw a Shade emerge with Mauve eyes from the silver-lined bag. It took one look at Gorilla and sped off after them. 

Stormseeker sat back. He couldn’t believe his luck. They had been found out and survived again. And they even had one of their friends back… kind of… it was better than them being fully dead at least. He peaked into the second bag and saw a handful of silver dust. That could always come in handy someday-

There was a flash in the corner of his eye and Stormseeker bolted. Glancing behind him he saw the Shade of Adonalsium Storming Reborn on his heels now with Crimson eyes. Grabbing a pinch of silver and throwing it behind him, he fled.

<Callsign: Azure Mouse>

Jochen had been betrayed. He had always looked up to Fuchsia, even back when she had been just a third Lieutenant, and now she had betrayed the crew. She had set him on a wild goose chase, then disappeared. 

He wouldn't be distracted any more. He was going to find her. Jochen used his admin powers to fully access the ship, and he found the secret vents the Saboteurs were using to get around without the mob catching them. Then, with some clever triggers, he had used them to track Fuchsia Ostrich down.

Now, he was going to confront her. He crawled through the twisting vents. It took him far too long, but he reached the hidden room where Fuchsia would face justice.

Jochen steeled himself outside of the door. She had a Mistborn Medallion, he would only have one chance to catch her by surprise. 

Before Jochen could launch his attack, the vent swung open on its own, and he was face to face with the muzzle of a gun.

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

<Callsign: Fuchsia Ostrich>

“We have an intruder,” the man said. He claimed that he wasn't the leader of the Saboteurs, that he was merely using them for some higher goal. Fuchsia thought he was just trying to save face in the light of their imminent failure.

“How? You said these vents were hidden,” Fuchsia questioned him, wary.

“It's your own fault, actually. Your pet Mouse got into the vents, almost certainly using the permissions you gave him,” the man glowered at her.

“Jochen? Why can't he just leave well enough alone. We need to go,” Fuchsia began gathering her things.

The man scoffed. “Still too weak to take care of him? I guess I'll have to do it myself.”

The man drew his gun and pointed it at the vent as it swung open. 

“Stop!” Fuchsia yelled, lunging for him.

Bang!

Lol. I understand the paranoia, especially in a set-up like this, it's why I always advocate for tiered PoE, it's just that my dirty secret was that I was so busy/tired for this game that past the Night 1 PoE attempt I just had no notes, only really loose brackets in my head that increasingly became: "Ok I am willing to rexamine anyone not Beagle or Dragonfly" particularly by D3.

I have played a deepwolf before yeah, out of necessity, it's just not my favoured play niche.

Oh yeah, @Oxblood Beagle, @Plum Rhinoceros, @Taupe Gecko, @Ivory Dragonfly Particular pleasure working with you fellas. Always nice to have people willing to rethink an exe multiple times together with you before rollover

Special shoutout to @Opal Lion and @Pearl Chameleon - I think you both got thrown into a thankless situation and appreciate you showing up to discuss and with insights.

And great job and well played to the Elims, but in particular @Melon Dingo because holy cripes you were not kidding, your plan would've been satanically demonic if it'd worked.

To be honest I think I don't know most of the game and didn't really try. Zebra was pretty obvious to me, as was Weasel, but I think Zebra was the only guy who I had a read off on that basis. Everyone else was just /shrug territory which kinda dovetailed with my resolve to just play the game. I did have guesses for you, Ivory, Rhino, and Albatross but they get blurry over time, but I was never very good at guessing people so that tracks

Well, you didn't get prio-ed for real account guesses. You got prio-ed for thread control. I tried to challenge you, but my long post where I spent a lot of time working hard to actually throw sus on you got deleted... So I went "oh whatever I'll wing it" as I wasn't willing to duplicate that effort, and you came down so hard on me I was just like... storms... not prepared for that... Then every time I tried to match your posting for control you'd immediately respond to what I said and I just kinda gave up as I didn't have the time (or analysis speed) to contest you at that point... Hence the kill = )

Though I was originally trying to kill you mid tunnel as I feel like that looks villagery. (I try to push an exe and the elims kill that target.)

This is like saying a book has a bad ending because your dog chewed the back half

Kel be like:

(This is not indicative of anyone's identities, as I said in the doc, I straight up don't know who anyone is)

More in GM thoughts on the distro, but it boils down to: it wasn't as badly balanced as circumstances made it seem, and we should have committed to the bit more

Umm... I definitely think this game was more broken than I feel like you're admitting here... but I also agree with Jo that this game wasn't as broken as it appears on first glance. Like, if the village hits 3/5 elims at any point in the game it is super snowball-y... and if the elims are winning it looks like a normal game. Even with 2 e!coinshots it's not that snowball-y for elims with 4(or 5) lurchers, and 4 MB who have a 1/4 chance to have a protect role... 

But this is not a criticism I had fun and that's all that matters. It was also cool watching the thread reactions to all the claims and we wouldn't have gotten that in a different game. I do think that no v!Kandra would have fixed the biggest balance issue. Alternatively, make the e!team= 2 Seekers, 2 Kandra, 1 Rioter. The reason is now with the full team there are always 2 who can submit the NK. Next, less than half the team is seekers (important because of Kandra), additionally, by having 2 seekers and 2 Kandra, what you are implying to the elims is you can spend your Kandra to deny Seeker from village or to aggressively take roles. You then can give village Kandra or not. But I'd say give the elims a single digit Kandra and a double digit gen (and village 1 or 2 in the middle). Then they think (rightly) they can guarantee steal a role or risk it and then there is strategy in which Kandra gets used.

to your point though a big part of our problem was no matter what happened on the day cycles, the rollover crew where most of the active players in the game and so we didn't get much of a say how the end of the day went. I finally understand what people on the other side of the world have been complaining about with rollover times lol

I kinda expected they'd thunderdome yes and wasn't looking forward to sorting through them ngl

I do think it's funny we broke our collective brains on this distro and in the end it really is 4 v!Lurchers, 2 v!Coinshots, 3 e!Seekers. Genuinely surprised the rollover exe crew somehow managed to avoid all the ML bait that was being laid in our path  

All of us: "IT MUST BE BALANCED SOMEHOW!"
Jo, TUM: "It is, you just can't see it "

I actually understand you on this because I mistook Gecko for Dingo

Oh I normally love thunderdoming but in this game it was kind of pointless as with 15 players left even if I got you to exe flamingo I assume I'd just be shot the next night. Though if someone wanted to take Fifths honorary elim title maybe someone would be willing to protect me? xD

Lol yeah, I'm shook that even the elims were straight up just telling the truth about their roles

We weren't really able to plan together and the day everyone was roleclaiming I was stupidly busy so it was really challenging to make a plan. Seeker was what I went with purely because I thought I might be able to prove myself with the soft claim and avoid+flip the kandra before they claimed. But then everyone claimed and it was too late imo to change my claim.

It only dawned on me when Gecko asked, "what is a thunderdome?" 
 

Looking at the elim/dead doc and this thread, it's kinda funny now that I defended and suspected some people because of who I thought they were and they actually aren't those people

The funny thing is, I too forgot what a thunderdome was and had to look it up when I saw that

Me when I realize I would have seeked an elim if they didn't kill themselves

Also this is one of the funnest (ITS A WORD) SE games I've ever played, and has reignited my love for SE.

 lol

Wait... you mean my game decisions where I played into who I was to appear less suspicious were completely unnecessary?????

Everyone was so honest  (Well, I did lie a bit but in my defence, I was paranoiding.)

I 100% believed your lie. Felt very much like something Jo would do to troll a player lol

Same! (I think) Was a crazy game. Exactly what I was looking for. Also frankly ended at a good time too as I'm only getting busier throughout this month... I told Jo and TUM I'd only join if there was a pinch hitter for me just in case... and at the end there I was thinking about if the game continued how much it'd suck to be a pinch hitter and enter as an elim in that game state xD

Hah yeah
