I dont think so. Theme wise sure.

No, as in - The Seer is often (always?) a Cylon whom people need to trust or not. And only a Night Death or Coroner scan would reveal the truth.

Oh I was freaking out most of the time, it's a good read. (not sure I really had a meltdown, and I don't think you are quoting the right person)

yeah am misremembering...duh me.

The lynch results would have been: Human - and they would have assumed you were Truly cylon even more so.


What I truly didn't get was why Newcastle was hell-bent on lynching you first and me second. That (to Holman's credit) was a key to keeping me alive.

It's hard to get you lynched. that's the honest truth. Plus I am not the greatest at detecting folks and i can go off the deep end trying to find stuff and am often wrong. So I figured build up some credit, get vorret, and then hope people listen to me to get you. Because I KNEW you were a cylon. Oh guess what, i picked up a second tell of yours this game. At least i am not 5/5 in my unagi detector ability.

Congrats Newcastle.
I guess I'll just need to avoid playing with you going forward.
I get the very distinct impression you'll like that.

That's why you have to be willing to kill Unagi.

Scoop, you are a brash deceiver who flirts with disaster.

Looking back, I can see Chaosraven's evil grin as he left for work.

I have to say, the cylons played a great game. Congrats to Unagi and CR!

Lassr, thanks for running. You did a great job as always and BSG is by far my favorite WW game. I like the game mechanics and your write ups are awesome! I'm just sorry I got whacked so early.

Good game guys..

I need to know, what made you decide to scan me?

You need to play more often Mr. Zarathud. You are following the games anyway and you are a good participator.

I dont think so. Theme wise sure. But strip it down not knowing you lynched good or evil is a bit of a monkey wrench. It just would have been nice to know with certainty your thought process was correct or incorrect. That's all.

No, look back over the games. You never know who you are lynching in BSG games (beyond Human/Cylon). It's what makes them different.

I always try to have a mechanism in the game to help prove a role in some way. In this game Apollo was it. There was no fooling his night scan of the dead. Boomer could trick a scanner or a reveal upon lynch but once they were dead Apollo could scan without being blocked. Unfortunately he died early and the power shifted to the Cylons and traitors.

Except I'm also the #1 go to fall-guy for every ham-handed wolf and hand-wringing villager.

Punisher wrote:Good game guys..

I'm sure we nearly didn't.
I picked you because you were 'ever so slightly quiet' -- but mostly combined with me not knowing your natural style. So, it's not that you did something, so much as that I'm better at reading the others... (and if you read the wolf forum, you will see how much I actually suck...)
Additionally, as a new guy, you are likely to get cut a little slack too - so knowing if we wanted to be part of that or if we wanted to kill you was something to learn. No one but the new guys get that kind of slack (stessier had a little of it, for being long gone).
Finally, sending $50 to Lassr's Paypal account doesn't hurt either.

I would call it freaking out too. No meltdown. I also knew the advantage they the Cylons had after Apollo death and the traitor team was not growing so it was not as dire as Unagi kept dreaming it was.

Well, this is only my 2nd game so I don't know my style either.
last game, I talked a lot..got night killed.. This game I was quieter... got night killed. There's just no pleasing you guys!
The main thing the wolves forget is that since I'm new, I am very unlikely to know when and how to use my powers... I still don't since I haven't gotten a chance to use them in either game... This could be a benefit to the wolves since I am easily swayed...

Luck of the draw, I never get night killed, honestly, I don't think it ever happen (now I know I'm putting a target on my back )

that's the next WW game. Bribe the moderator. Highest bribe gets the best info!

No seriously please play. Because if you dont play, how will i know who's on team evil. I mean you got to let the blind squirrel find a nut at some point right....its just the kind thing to do.

Scoop! SCOOOOOOOP!!

Tell us what happened with your Tigh claim!

Vorret wrote:So I must ask, why the hell did you guys block the scan on Stessier?

To cause chaos and suspicion.

I chortled every time the subject came up.

Interesting. Good rule set, as usual with Lassr's BSG. Well done, toasters!

Sorry you got scooped by Scoop while you were grabbing some grub. I enabled that.

A totally legitimate play. No hurt fee-fees.

Got busy and stopped reading. I could not for the life of me figure why on earth you all would lynch vorret, who yielded no information, over Unagi, whose death would at least give you a little.

Yea, I think I even said it in the Spoiler forum that Unagi screwed up and no way I would not go with Holman's plan. It just made sense. Then...well, shit happens.

Thats why we play these games though. Players in the game see things differently and that impacts actions.
What looks like a horrible play to some turns into pure genius and victory.

Yeah, I got extremely frustrated at the end that nobody wanted to kill unagi and a few were thinking I was in bed with him, which made no sense whatsoever, grrrr

Yeah, sorry nobody listened. Holman put forth a good plan. Unfortunately it sounds like a lot of the people that would have voted for it were already dead. As RW says, that is why we play these things out because crazy shit does happen. The reveals in this game were... let's just say, astounding.

To be fair, I'm still confused how one would repeatedly write about night scanning when they are submitting scans during the day.

However, without having read the final day of activity, I am also confused about how Unagi was not lynched after surviving the night.

Anyway, fun game, and well done cylons.

I actually saw that frozen poutine last year in the supermarket, I snapchatted it to my friend and everyone was HORRIFIED. Keep in mind that the city I live in is where the meal was invented so there's a bunch of restaurant with amazing poutine across the city so if you're buying that frozen crap you're, sorry to say, one dumb person.

Lifetime supply of a 50Kg bag of poutine per Victoria day coming your way vorret! Freshly frozen too!

Ok, I had to look it up. I had no idea and I live within 40 minutes of Windsor. This does not sound like a dish that would be good frozen and then thawed/cooked to eat. I am not even sure about it even when it is freshly made.

Only American exceptionalism prevents gravy on cheesy fries?

If we'd thought of it first, it would probably be the national dish.

There is a couple that lives in my small town, the husband was from Canada. They opened a restaurant called Taters & Dogs, served burgers, hot dogs and fries and they had gravy fries on the menu. It was basically Poutine but just couldn't call it that in Alabama. Use the word gravy here and it's a instant hit. It was very good but they didn't stay in business more than 2 years and closed.

First, bb, How the hell did you not know you were 40 minutes from Windsor? You can literally see it from downtown.

Holman wrote:Only American exceptionalism prevents gravy on cheesy fries?

Well, that and taste. Something about cheesy gravy is just nasty. Separate they are both awesome on fries (or really nearly any potato dish). Together they are nasty.

In Jersey we have the fries with cheese and gravy. depending on where you go they are called Jersey fries or Disco fries. brown gravy and mozzarella cheese. very good.
