I think Kodos sold our blaster launchers on the black market.

So I'm guessing that this is a hidden roles game?

Roles will be revealed only when obvious, in certain cirumstances. There may be hints to rolls. There is a person who can figure out the roles of the dead.

Sign me up.

You have the first alternate role, AE. :D

I'd like my rolls buttered please. This time, we will win against the invaders!

Relatively little chatter with no 'lynching' on Day 1. We all know this is going to be a crapshoot again. :( Let's hope that we lynch ourselves a fucking alien tommorow!

Sergent Swaggs checking in.

Well, now, maybe I'm assuming wrong... I was figuring that if the problem reaches a point where we can't handle it ourselves, we all get fragged. But if that's not right, then obviously I give priority to the human race; I'd gladly sacrifice myself to save my fellow men and women.

Damn, now I wish I had played! :)

Squaddie Vince, reporting for duty!

The dynasty was such a good idea, and I'm stoked that GB took it over, because he did a much better job than I would ever have been able to do.

Ok.. just need a couple more night actions (if you have a viewer role, now would be a good time to do it) and we can get started on the first official day.)

Pilot Kingfc22 reporting for duty. Sorry I was only able to slightly damage their ship and that is why some of them survived. I'll be at the front lines soon.

There's a bit of flaw in SirFozzie back story. If the aliens win then in the end they will be destoryed by base weaponry

you're assuming that the aliens don't have a plan to disable it, but without weapons and with numbers against them... :D

Aliens do not win.

Aliens die.

I wonder if CW will be allowed to have weapons in this one...

That's just mean, man. :)

Tech Fouts checking in. I really didn't want to attend this reunion, so many memories of war and death, and it is starting all over again. For now, I'll take a look at the computers and see if there's anything I can do.

OOC: I will be gone til Sunday, unexpected plans, I will return Sunday night.

Sorries

waiting on one last player to send in his view, and then we'll move to day 1 (or in a half hour)

Ok. We're now through with night 0.

You come out of your room warily.. hoping against hope that it was just a glitch in the system....

But sadly.. the computer repeats its assessment of FOUR ectoplasmic sources in the base and you know what you have to do.

By the end of the day, one of your number will be blasted.. and all you can do is hope it's not you.

Since we have folks out this weekend, I will allow until 8 PM sunday for votes to be blasted.


Let the fun begin :D

Hmmm....four out of fifteen of us are aliens. The odds are against a haphazard vote, so we'd better choose wisely. I'll be watching what you guys say closely, and I reserve the right to pounce on something out of place. :)

I'm curious about how the aliens win - if they each have the ability to maul us over one night then we will be dead quickly unless we are exceptionally efficient in rooting them out.

11 vs 4 - Day one, we miss, 10 vs 4
10 v 4 - Night one, they all kill one, 6 vs 4
6 v 4 - Day two, we get one, 6 vs 3
6 v 3 - Night two, they all kill one, 3 vs 3

I have to believe that we are being laid better odds than this - I'm very curious how this shakes out the first night.

Anyone have any general theories on who to hunt? It seems that a number of people have gone with the "quiet = evil" theory, but that hasn't held up very well in the couple of werewolf games I have observed.

The first day is tough because we don't have much to go on.

Way too much of an equalizer if the aliens can all kill during the night.

I don't think the aliens would all be able to kill during the night. I haven't played X-Com, so I wouldn't know. All I can think of is Aliens or Star Frontiers (the D&D Outer Space game). I agree the first day is tough, especially since the odds are against us getting lucky. It's hard to throw a suspect out there due to "quietness" since it's Friday night and the weekend is coming up...then again, that's the perfect cover for being quiet.

it's a one kill per night thing for the aliens (with certain circumstances)

And where does you always shooting me in the back with the blaster launcher fall into those plans? Huh? I can still feel the pain....sooo sad... ;)

So the aliens kill one per night, and we kill one per night(can anyone kill in the day?), so were looking at this game lasting(at worst circumstances) 8 days until the 1 alien left wins...am i looking at that right? And is there any other way for people to die im missing?

Sorry, trying to clarify particulars

I figured your progeny died so much anyway, who'd notice. :)

Sad thing is you have a point...i was like a moving practice target, or so it seemed...ah well, in my x-com games i named everyone bu my best guy coffee warlord and got my revenge! :mad: :mad: :D :D :D

Aliens kill 0-1 during the day (depending on the defense roles)
All blast 1 during the day.

There ARE other ways to die/etcetera.

By the way, ties will be handled very quickly. The NEXT person to vote (if they haven't already voted) or switches their vote after the deadline breaks it. We will use forum timing (tricky, I know) to determine the next vote.

Will probably put in my vote in a couple of hours. Playing Poker.

Neon, you realize we have until Sunday evening to vote?

We do? Hahaha. Jesus. That's good, more time for paranoia to build. :) I still say the first day is pretty much a crapshoot.

Yea, the first day is a crap shoot and then the next day is when the analyzation (is that a word) begins.

*kicks a computer console*

"How do we know this bucket of bolts can still operate the equipment to kill someone? Hmph, computers. Give me a plasma rifle any day, at least that way you goddamn know who your enemies are, not like this alien nightmare."

Hey -- be nice to the equipment. That's our only way out of this mess.

Has Day 1 started or are we still waiting for some Night 0 actions?

Day 1 has started. Voting due by 8 EST on Sunday, I believe.

Correct.

I vote Vince

Oh wait, im not playing this time round :D

Jerk :)

Come out, come out where ever you are, you stinkin' alien slime...

Consider it a blessing Vince, everyone usually votes for the opposite of whomever I vote for, I suck so bad

I've learned my lesson about shooting first and asking questions later. I'll be interested to see if we can do better than luck with our first shot.

One way we could do this, have the aliens surrender :p Becuase Blade is on a booty call, shit!! I mean a alien hunt!! I like humans, I swear it!!! :D

"There's not much we can go on today, really. Just whoever's suspicious. Anyone admitting to being an alien? I thought not."

What are your thoughts on Day 1 voting based on what you knew from the roles in previous games?
