Everyone starts to assemble in the corridors. Some have obvious hangovers. Others look tired, as if they’ve been up all night. OaOW still had obvious claw marks, but the ones on Koldanar appeared to be mod-healed.
As people moved toward the molten metal room, they stopped as a voice said, “Wait! Shouldn’t we check Zsofia’s room, see if she could do anything?”. “Yeah, lets. And now that you mention it, where’s Sachertorte? And Blaster Master? And Thing Fish?”
The parade of people went to Zsofia’s room. After an exhaustive search, they found…nothing. It was just an ordinary room. It appeared that she had been an ordinary scientist. The crowd then went to Sachertorte’s room, to wake him up…or search his body. They found him dead, in his sleep. Again, the crowd searched the room, again nothing was found. As they went to find Blaster Master, fearing for his fate, the leader tripped over two bodies. In the corridor lay both Blaster Master and Thing Fish, both dead. Both were machine. Blaster Master was the T-800, giving his existence to protect the lab. The other was a T-1000. Upon further examination, it turned out to be the assassain T-1000, the one with shapeshifting powers. The town, at least, had brought down one Terminator proper.
There were no more suprises as everyone filed into the molten metal room. No revelations or items to be found. Just quiet suspicion.
Ugh. Sach and BLaM down, and both were on our side. On the plus side, the Secret Agent T-1000 is down! Thanks for taking my advice on kill delegation, scum; this is exactly what I was hoping would happen.
The most likely explanation as to what happened last Night is that the T-1000 targeted one of the Connors, and one of our Vigs took out sach(bad Vig: no cookie). At least our Vig didn’t hit a townie power role this time, unlike previous games I’ve been in with overzealous Vigs.
With all of these dead players, and a dead scum on the doorstep, analysis of yesterDay’s voting patterns is indicated. I’ve thought of an analysis technique that can handle the Borda count; I’ll apply it to yesterDay’s votes and report back on the data.
Very interesting. Does anyone remember what TF was pre set. I’ll go look if necessay but on the chance that someone knows off the top of their head it would save some time.
I agree that this is the most likely scenario. But which vig? There were two.
We’ll find out which one targeted Sach last Night at the dawn of Day 3, unless I miss my guess. If BlaM targeted Sach, we won’t have any odd kills Tonight. Remember the T-800 was a Vig, but wouldn’t die of remorse if he killed a Townie - and certainly won’t now.
I never did read the last page or so o Yesterday. Dusk intervened. So I think a bit more attention there is needed. Not now though, as I have to equip an epic D&D character, and I’ve only spent half his allocation.
I believe you are correct all of the vanilla scum are t-1000s but (and I’m not sure which is why I asked the question) they could either tell the t-1000 sa who to kill or they could tell it to kill whoever it wanted to. But I believe that there is no other mechanism for a scum kill. This seems like it would weaken the scum too much which is why I was asking they can nominate another one of there number to do the kill.
On a side note united is now charging for the first bag according to their sign but there was a screw up and I’m in first class from Denver to Dallas so I didn’t have to pay. I’ve never been in first class before any suggestions for things to order/do that I can’t in coach?
Why, why, do optional pro-Town Vigs insist on killing on Night One, with so little information. Why, why?
Every single game we play, this happens. And every time, the Vig thinks (s)he has enough information, and every time, a Townie winds up dead. I’m beginning to think that even optional Vigs ought to count against Town when balancing the game, rather than for them.
Otherwise, sorry for my absence toward the end of yesterDay. I was following along, more or less, but I had intermittent trouble posting and even getting on the Dope. Should be some information to be had out of the bizarre swing of votes toward Zsofia, though.
Curses. You puny humans got lucky this time, but I have total confidence in this awesome all-star scum team. Even without my special power, you will be EX-TERM-I-NATED!!
Finally, we agree on something. For all intents and purposes I should have boiled yesterday. I want to go back and look at the folks driving my mis crispifying and then figure out why Z ended up in the lead.
First blush. Bunch of newbie scum being guided.
And BTW, I posted this off board but on the chance you didn’t see. Belated Happy BirthDay. I’d sing but no one deserves that misery. And I didn’t realize how young you were. Miles are so much more important than years.
Well I’m sorry to see BLAM and Sach go but I do think it’s going to be less complicated with the assasin T1000 dead.
Peeker I think TF was ordinary scientist pre reset but haven’t actually checked.
Re BLAM being the one who took Sach out. I’ve never played a game with a Vig but if what Sach says about Vigs making guesses on the first night being a bad idea is generally accepted then I doubt someone who’s played as much as him would’ve done so. But as nobody else is dead then the suicidal Vig can’t have done it - or could he/she if he/she were protected by the Doc? Or is there another explanation?
Sorry - had a very good weekend and not thinking too straight right now. I’ll try and come up with something better in the morning.
[[oog Necrolesbian cocktail:
20ml Absolut vodka
20ml Mount Gay Rum
20ml Jack Daniels
20ml Johnnie Walker Black Label
half shot black sambuca
half shot tequila
Basically a combination of the cocktails “Best Muff Ever” and “Death” and somehow I don’t have a hangover oog]]
It could be that BLAM targetted TF himself after TF offed Sach if it can work that way.
If TF targetted one of the Connors then if he followed the other T1000s orders they know who she/he is which makes them vulnerable toNight. If we knew which one was targetted they could claim and be protected but we don’t. If both claimed then one doc could protect John while another plus the roleblocker protected Sarah. I know it’d stop her ability to intimidate but it’d also stop her driving people nuts tomorrow. It’d also leave the docs vulnerable so I’m not sure how good an idea this is. On the one hand John’s role is useful and Sarah’s role if blocked would be of no use at all. But we’d have 2 confirmed town and the scum would have to look elsewhere.
Of course if TF targetted BLAM in the first place then the above is moot.
Is the first scenario possible? Assasin T1000 kills scientist then T800 kills assasin T1000?
