Mods/Admins, do not lock just yet.

I've got a replacement for WK.

Chad will be replacing WebKittyn

Damn straight bitches. Chad casts resurrection and uses +5 MP. And then never has sex with a girl again.

Okay, ChadKittyn, out with it. We all know you're the cop. You're in no danger. List your investigations and lets do this thing.

Day 3 (end of Day 2)
WK investigates malfouka (innocent)

I forgot about this. Excellent, excellent point. WK cleared Malfouka after Grunter's second (and final) recruitment.

I've said Dave and Malfouka were not aliens.

That's from Day 3.

Town, it's time to lynch OH. This is the first time I'm over 90% sure he's the last alien.

[malfouka]

I'm still not 100% sold on OH, but....
Unvote: Deb
Vote to Lynch: OH

Current Tally:
malfouka - 2
OH - 2

I'm still not 100% sold on OH, but....

Nor am I, but I think it's worth a shot. The fact that WK cleared you makes it no worse than 50/50 OH/Deb.

To be fair to the bad guys, that doesn't work. Only a townie can replace WK. Chad was evil and probably had access to mobchat + the other alien's identity.

[Dave]

Agreed.

Ok, see, here's the thing.

I don't feel the least bit guilty posting this, because the game is pretty much over. If I can't get a replacement for WK, there are no Scans, and the Crew will lose. If I do replace WK, then the Crew wins. All because of a flaw in the initial rules.

Here's the current player situation:

• Ripley - 1
• Bishop - 1
• Crew - 1
• Aliens - 2

Yes, there are two Aliens. The Mother Alien has to "lay an egg" in the morning to produce a facehugger for infection that night. The Day thegrunter was lynched, there was 1 converted Alien, one infected Alien, and one to-be-infected Alien. So far, the Crew has found and lynched one Alien, leaving the other two. If we don't replace WK, then the Crew is flying blind, and the two Aliens are able to pick off and lynch the remaining crew. If a Crewmember is lynched today, the Aliens win. All they have to do is be first to vote to lynch and both vote to lynch Ripley or Bishop. Since everyone pretty much knows who those to roles are, it's easy for them.

On the other hand, if I do replace WK, then her N4 scan becomes public, outing an Alien. That Alien gets lynched. That leaves one of each role left. Of the remaining players left, there is only one that has not been scanned (other than WK herself). Once that player is scanned, and the results become known, the game is over. Actually, if an Alien is lynched today, the game is pretty much over because a single Alien will never be able to lynch Ripley &/or Bishop when both roles are known.

It was a good experiment, I've learned a lot about the initial rules, and have adjusted them for future use, so as to avoid this issue. For example, once the Mother Alien is killed, the remaining Aliens should be able to kill a Crewmember at night. If they can't do that, the Crew just picks them off.

Anyway, if no one objects, I'll call the game ended, and post roles.

I...didn't...expect that.

I thought the fact that the Mother Alien acted like a Cult Leader "for all intents and purposes" meant just that. One recruitment per night. I took that to mean a facehugger "hatched" and did its business. I thought the only wrinkle was the time delay for the chest busting.

The aliens are Deb and OH then, eh?

I have no objection to however you want to proceed. I'll support whatever you wish to do.

[monogodo]

Go ahead and lock this thread and I'll write up a final post later.

[Dave]

The revised rules you sent are ready for upload, but I thought I'd hold off until post-game discussion here. There may be additional changes you want to make. (There will be if this 'egg' thing stays.)
