Hi. I exist. I will try to do something in the next hour, but I need to catch up a bit.
-
Nooooooooo. If it starts now, I'll be AFK for a good chunk of the game... don't start it yet

Worldbuilding advice you'd give to new/aspiring writers
Elandera replied to Elandera's topic in Creator's Corner
It starts tomorrow! I'm super excited Feel free to expand still, even if you can't do it tonight. We're going to be starting up a podcast soon, where I can share more advice. Thank you! -
Well, if y'all don't want them shot, I guess decapitation would be the next best option. Do we have two people who can do it? Without guns, all I've got are my crochet needles, and I don't know how effective they'd be with decapitation. Maybe stabbing an eye socket.
-
Chain two, turn, double cro... What? Zombies already? I wanted to finish my scarf first. Oh well. *Sets yarn and crochet hook to the side* So, what ideas do we have so far? I'm thinking with only two, if I can get my hands on a rifle, I can take out at least one before it gets too close.

Oooh... I really want to sign up for this game. So I will, but I have to cross my fingers to hope it doesn't start while I'm camping next week. Quick question about the zombies. Are we talking Shaun of the Dead slow zombies, or like 28 Days Later zombies? And if actions are open ended, can we incorporate items our RP characters would have? Like if mine was a gun enthusiast, would he be able to use guns for actions? Or do you have an item system for that?

Steel, this was a great game! And yay, I have M-Bot and Doomslug back! Definitely adding them to my SE inventory. I was sooo excited when I saw I got the Defected/Traitor role. I had been looking forward to getting the SK win-con, and even while taking actions for the village, I was desperately trying to get lynched. So unaccommodating . I can't tell you how exasperated I was when, after I announced my role, the Lifebuster appeared. The one thing that would have allowed me to win as an SK... and my chances of being lynched were gone. However, the amazing write-up and incredibly random chance of having Doomslug and M-Bot save us was worth staying as a pilot. I'm glad you decided to use that mechanic. The odds of all that happening at the same time, though. The Gods of Luck and Chance seemed to be with me this game... maybe it was the animal crackers... @Ax's Boyfriend, again, great job! You deserve an honorary win for that game. As Steel said, if the mechanics had been slightly different, you likely would have won. As it was, getting rid of villagers was mostly a matter of luck. I apologize to @StrikerEZ. I feel slightly responsible for you getting shot down, as I light-lanced you that night turn. I was down to just a few points of health and was really paranoid I was going to get shot down. I couldn't let M-Bot get destroyed though.
-
I was slightly confused by this. First I read Traitor (because I'm terrible about skimming and skipping) and thought "But I'm not the Traito-- oh wait. Rebel. Ark. Got it." Then I finally went up and read "Pilot who had her own ship" and had to mentally put the sad asterisk of **used to have. I mean, I'm grateful for Doomslug and M-Bot... But I miss him. Edit: As for flight name, Steel had been calling us Ski flight. But I'm inclined towards Wolf Pack.
-
Very good job, Ark. I didn't really suspect you until these last few rounds, though I suppose it's my fault we didn't lynch you last day turn. The shields were a bit complicated, which is why I was surprised at the beginning that the turret damage didn't just cut through it. It made more sense when Joe flipped elim, but he did die very early. I'll wait to say more thoughts until the final writeup. Good game!

Brenna Rose sat somewhat despondent outside the mess hall of Alta. M-Bot was just gone. She fought back tears, though unsuccessfully. A few drops rolled down her cheeks, and she buried her head in her arms, wrapped around her knees. She had felt so free while flying M-Bot. No one could catch her. No one could stop her. Bad Wolf belonged in the sky. But could Brenna return? That feeling when M-Bot and Doomslug disappeared... Falling. Her stomach feeling like it was compressing her lungs. Empty sky with nothing around her. Nothing to catch her. Brenna shuddered and a few more tears fell. Thankfully Steel had caught her, and she'd only gotten a few bumps and bruises. She should have been dead. Everyone should have been dead. Though she didn't understand still what happened, she knew Doomslug and M-Bot had saved Alta. They had saved her flight. It was her turn to pay back the favor. She let a few more tears roll down before she wiped them away and stood. This would not stop her. Yet. She had to find the rebel first. They were the last to blame for the whole mess. They were to blame for her losing M-Bot. If they had focused on the Lifebuster... Bad Wolf would find them, and Bad Wolf would end them. For everything must come to dust. --- Edit: I hit send too early. @Ax's Boyfriend, what action did you take last night that you believed would have stopped the lifebuster? Edit 2: Because I'm apparently too eager to post. By my count, the Lifebuster received 4 damage from me and 4 damage from Bard in the Largo. Fura's inaction makes sense, but she shouldn't have been shot, considering the escorts only shoot at those who deal damage to the Lifebuster. This tells me someone (probably Ark), shot at Fura.
-
It was more a question if the damage I took was applied to the Largo 2 since MBot went missing and Largo 2 was the last ship I was in (clear back on N1). But PAFO. On a side note, I think this is the most PAFOs I've generated so far in my SE career. I don't tend to ask questions.
-
Yeah. Something isn't adding up here. Bard, did you not lightlance the lifebuster as we had agreed? From my understanding of my GM PM, the only reason it didn't destroy us all was incredibly lucky RNG chances of having Doomslug with M-Bot at the time. @Steeldancer are Largo 2's shields down because that was the ship I had been in before M-Bot? @Ax's Boyfriend, M-Bot came first in OOA, and there was no indication my actions failed for any reason. Just that I no longer have M-Bot.
-
Not a clue what happened to M-Bot. I assume it had something to do with Doomslug being with me as we were in imminent danger, but I'm just as confused as everyone else. My vote is going on Ark. I successfully shot him, but Poco 11's shields are still active. Edit: Also, Fura. Did you forget about your action, or get busy? (I understand both, just curious.)
-
Amazing game! Thanks Fifth for GMing and Joe for co-GMing. I really enjoyed the write-ups and the game mechanics. First, great job to Lum for leading the village there at the end. Your scans were super helpful. And good use of the carpet! To Maill, thanks again for your contributions to help the village win. They were invaluable. I was going to say more, but my brain is failing at the moment. In all, good game to everyone!
-
Why would that clear him more? The lifebuster wasn't destroyed. It was roleblocked and driven away. That shows a Gunner likely didn't shoot it. Which makes Xino more suspicious to me.
-
Probably because the only evidence we had otherwise was from Drake (at least based on memory). While Drake is village, it could have been pocketing. I'm inclined to clear Bard, though, because not only did he give us the reasons to lynch Gaea but Maill as well. I'm hoping for some time tonight to really review things and see who I find most suspicious. That won't happen until after about 10pm pacific time.
-
My RP is vaguely spoilery for Skyward, so readers beware --- I'll be voting on Xino. While I'm still suspicious of Ark, I'm paranoid that the final elim is mostly inactive. And we do know Xino has been around just enough to submit an action most turns.
-
@Young Bard, @Furamirionind, @Ax's Boyfriend, @xinoehp512 Just for information, I will light lance the Lifebuster and take out its shield. I figure if it's roleblocked, at least it can't kill us if we can't kill it. Everyone else should attack it though.
-
Unfortunately, that's not much of a hard clear. It's pretty common to have elims claim suspicion of their teammates in order to distance themselves if/when said teammate dies. Sometimes they'll even help lynch their teammate (bussing) to also disperse suspicion. I did this quite effectively recently, which allowed me to come within a coin toss of winning. There are other, better ways of being cleared, such as claiming which ship you're in and allowing us to test your shield.
-
Because I forgot about Xino. But you and him are the only ones we've not been able to verify which ships you're in. Hmmm. Your logic is a little backwards here. You say that you don't think the elims would have more than two gunners, but also say that you've proved your not one. By your own logic, that doesn't prove you're not an elim. EDIT: Also, I think Joe being in a ship was due to him being a Wingmate. Otherwise, I don't think the Gunners can pilot.
-
*sigh* You guys... I have been trying to get myself lynched all game. But no, each time you finally decide to lynch me, you find a Gunner instead. Time to fess up. I am what's called the Defected. As I have yet to die, I am still village aligned. If you'd have been kind enough to lynch me, I would have become the Traitor. And yes, I'm flying MBot. Though in thread I have attempted to get myself lynched without seeming obvious, I have been taking out Krell each turn. Until the last one. Because I was certain I'd die if I didn't roleblock Fura and Striker, as I was only at 2 health. Sorry Steel. I tried. I really did. But I think if I still try to trigger the SK win-con, I might lose the game for everyone. Except maybe the final elim. (Lookin' at you Ark...) Another thing about MBot. I can do two separate actions. Don't worry about using an IMP against the Lifebuster, since I'm first in OOA. I'll take out its shields, and attack it. Just promise to not shoot me instead, please.
-
Maybe? I don't know why he would, which is why I'm super confused.
-
But if I'd been shot, I'd still know I'd been hit, especially as an elim or SK. I'm not sure what happened, but I wasn't aware I'd been shot at all.
-
Hmm. That's strange then. I really didn't know I'd been shot.
