Yeah if early on when we'd have more villagers we'd hit someone or if the Seer hadn't been bumped off then I think it'd have been more balanced ... presuming there are wolves out there, I'm personally not wholly convinced either way - it could just be CF messing with us with the GlaDOS stuff, but personally I'm inclined to believe voting for him did have an effect at present ....

omg causility loop.. *poof*

[Passacaglia]

I can't believe this isn't even a close race. Doesn't that tell you all something?

One of two things..

Packers is innocent... or the wolves know he's toast and are hiding within the vote for packers.

[Ragone]

or possibly three.. we have wolf wolf up for lynch

[Ragone]

and narcizo hasn't really been voted up this entire game. and packers has been on the chopping block before. its easier to hide in the packer lynch pack then it would be on narcizo side

[Marc Vaughan]

Not going to get 'excited' about the prospect of a wolf being bagged at this point - got a feeling it'll turn out we've caught another viscous fluffy bunny ...

[CrimsonFox]

Beep. Voting Tabulator Tabulating...
Building reality components...

[Simbo Klice]

lol at the Bon Jovi video... But I agree with Ragone, packers has been kind of out of it for a while and maybe they're just throwing us a bone to protect Narcizo... for now.

[Passacaglia]

Hey, everyone is here now! Where were you all BEFORE deadline?

[Marc Vaughan]

(please please please let it be a wolf - I'm on the hall of shame at SI for a 10-0 loss at Pro Evo, don't let my WW debut be a clean sheet for the Wolves )

[tyketime]

No way - Wolf Wolf all the way this time. No way we all suck this bad...

[Passacaglia]

I don't see how we could have been wolf wolf, with Narcizo voting for PF.

[Ragone]

could just be a wolf sacrifical lamb pass.. its entirely possible.

[Passacaglia]

Or he could be the brutal?

[CrimsonFox]

[tyketime]

Yes - finally! I told you the clues in the Test description were important. Portals have to be a good thing at this point... right?

So it took 20 minutes just to count the votes? This write up will take a while...

[CrimsonFox]

You know that thing I lost that fell out and I couldn’t remember what it was? Well I remembered what it was. It stopped me when I was delivering neurotoxin to the scientists who were trying to stop me from delivering neurotoxin to the scientists. Now I can deliver neurotoxin. Would you like a spoonful? I’m all out of sugar. Scientists have long since proven that a spoonful of sugar does nothing except give you cavities. So let us try something.

A tube is lowered and delivers a large spray of neurotoxin directly into PackerFanatic’s face.
Hmmm, that didn’t seem to do anything.
Packerfanatic falls over, a Human Tester. A fancy storage cube falls to the floor with him.

Oh, my mistake. He was another Aperture Science Human Tester. I seem to have an avid supply of those. So sorry I ran out of Aperture Science Hypercolliding Superbuttons and Aperture Science Weighted Storage cbues but I see someone had an extra one.
Speaking of cubes, now that that purple thing that stopped me from delivering neurotoxin is gone, I can now think clearer. I don’t need to keep hiding. I am GLaDOS and have been running these tests all along. There weren't really any werewolves. My little joke.


Barkeep steps forward and starts shaking and something unusual happens. The skin and clothes fall off him revealing a computerized machine faceplate with a yellow dot. It rises into the air. From it you hear the voice you’ve been hearing this whole time.



Glados_new_lair (800x600).jpg

There, now that that’s settled, I can tell you what I thought of. Computers CAN have thoughts you know and not just thoughts about the pepsi challenge and global warming but real thoughts. I know how to find my Weight Companion Cube that I dropped. Let’s try the rocket launcher. I shall need the technical core to make sure it aims properly.


She bonks Passacaglia on the head and the skin and clothes fall off him revealing a blue computer core. Passacaglia begins prattling on boring data coordinates and computer commands making everyone’s eyes glaze over with sleepiness.

130px-Glados_core_3.jpg
A green-eyed rocketlauncher rises out of the floor and fires at Raiders Army who dies. The purple computer core falls off his body.


Hmmm….there it is, well good that’s one mystery solved.
How about my favorite turret.
“What is it you want? Are you still there?” asks tyketime quietly.
Yes, I want to complete the test, turret.
“Ok.”


GLaDOS picks up tyketime and his cloths and skin shake off of him revealing a red glowing laser. She sets it down in front of Marc V.


“There you are!” he says and RAT-a-TAT-TAT shoots MarcV the Human Tester dead.


Hmmm…still nothing.
I know, maybe I should just gas the whole room. I will need all my cores for that.

“I’m sorry. What are we doing? Am I late? I’m no good at these things you know. Maybe we should let them live?” says a voice


“Yes” everyone says.

130px-Glados_core_4.jpg

Narcizo rolls forward with red eyes and headbutts KWHIT. As he does so he is now a glimmering red computer core and punches KWHIT in the face again and again and bouncing on him.
“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!” he says.


“Stop bleeding!” says Simbo “You’re frightening me!”
I said ALL of my computer cores.
“Oh” says Simbo, “I’m sorry I forgot.”


130px-Glados_core_2.jpg
Simbo removes his head that looks like a real person’s head actually I wonder whose it was. He now looks like a Yellow computer core.
Simbo, Pass, Narcizo, and Barkeep rise into the air with tyketime in front.


Now let us release the Neurotoxin.


It shoots out of every opening of the chamber.
Bhlloy and Ragone stand there with their portal devices and gulp. Blindly they shoot them into the computers. Bhlloy chokes and goes down. He was also a human.


Ah stop the neurotoxin. Stop it you guys!
I have found my companion cube! Hooray!


GLaDOS reaches down and grabs Ragone with a computer appendage. She pulls the head off and throws the body away. You now realize (well actually SHE now realizes) that Ragone’s head WAS the bodyguarding companion cube. And now she is happy


And now…I will have some cake.

[tyketime]

What the...?

[CrimsonFox]

[Zinto]

Ugh

[Passacaglia]

So what was the deal with Ragone?

[Ragone]

hmm, would killing me have ended the game earlier for the wolves?

[tyketime]

I would say "good question", but then bhlloy would accuse us of playing off each other again.

[tyketime]

Please tell me it's because I decided to eat some cake, right? That forced the endgame?

[CrimsonFox]

no. The gameplay affects the story (my writeups), not the other way around. Just would have meant the bodyguard would have died but was glad ragone lasted til the end. Made the story better .

[Autumn]

I don't think I've ever seen a shutout like this. And I can't claim it's because I was killed--I think I would have lynched PF and Kwhit before anyone else.

[CrimsonFox]

Game Over Wolves win and all that. Thank you for playing. Hope you had fun. Really happy to see all the activity. LOTS of people were active LOTS of new people lots of oldtimers that came back. Again hope you enjoyed it. New game starting up by eaglefan.

[Barkeep49]

Ragone: I thought, for sure, you were the cultist after your trust list had 4 of the 5 wolves on it.

[CrimsonFox]

And of course Ragone, you don't need to protect bhlloy and Pass anymore

[CrimsonFox]

Packer had 4 wolves too

[tyketime]

See - I TOLD you early on there were no wolves in the game. But no one wanted to listen...

[Ragone]

I do feel like i said it right several pages back.. wolves were systematically picking off the stronger experience villagers early in the game and leaving noobs till the end...

Yeah, I was pretty offended that I was the only wolf not on your happy list. But thanks for the protection!

[Autumn]

Well, I take that back. At this point in the game I would have lynched Barkeep first. Today when he didn't argue with the idea of lynching Glados, I knew he was bad.

[CrimsonFox]

And bhlloy as hard as you were on yourself you were probably the best villager in the game. You were extremely active. You made your own mind up. You took risks. YOu didn't follow the mainstream and you flipped things up. Plus you used the toys.
The opposite of course is just letting others dictate what everyone does and following the mob and/or not being active.

GREAT job Crimson! Even though I didn't know a lot of the Portal background - your writeups made it very entertaining.

Well to be honest - I really didn't know what the final victory conditions were...

I wasn't that involved in night-kill discussions, but I'd say the only time we killed someone just because they were a strong villager was hoopsguy -- for everyone else, we had some other reason that took over instead. I think we left a few strong villagers alive, too.

[CrimsonFox]

oh actually all the wolves win except pass. Pass loses for posting Bon jovi :P

[Ragone]

I started feeling really bad about narcizo a few days back.. felt like he was overanaylizing the game.

honestly, bhlloy was the only person i was sure was a villager, i felt like i played poorly, never really felt comfortable at all.

That does always happen yes. Every game the active players get NKed out first. And to answer your question from earlier yes you played a great game. YOu were active and tried to start discussions and such. That's the key. Being active and voting how you want without letting too many others influence you.

And actually Ragone, the last two NKs were linda random. The wolves were not convinced of anyone being the right move. They just kinda chose people. LOTS of discussion about EVERY move they made. Actually wolves, I've really never seen THAT much discussion before by wolves. You posted more than _I_ usually do.

I thought it would help us find the weighted companion cube.

[EagleFan]

CF did explain that the villagers were supposed to lynch the wolves?
