Actually come to think of it, the Boozy kill request was not quite straight-up; and when he wasn’t killed, it didn’t help me in regards to wondering about him.

Not sure, but Freudian had a mini-game that did not get going due to lack of interest(two games were running then).

I’m hoping she gets it going.

I"m fairly sure Ped has no games setup all the way, and I know I don’t. It’s up to someone else.

I’m still kicking a Battlestar Galactica theme around in my head, but I’ve never designed a game before. I’d love to work with an experienced co-mod.

I’ll help if you want. I’d co-mod and I am familiar with the show. 🙂

I mentioned in the hosting queue thread that I have an idea in mind, but I’d better not start it until after the Christmas break.

This was a fun game. Thanks to the mods! And thanks to the players. Congrats to the screamers. Well played, Normal!

Ah, cool! I was rooting for Normal in the end, and that was a really intense ending right there (although I wasn’t sure who to root for half the time, the game kept going back and forth in advantages).

Yes, the evilish role was Jimmy’s (who was a Town Investigator/Death Miller, for those of you who haven’t seen spoilers). Although thinking about it, there were others that were pretty crazy. The jailer, the back-up doc, the recruiting mason, the shopkeeper maybe, the secret scum, the scum priest, the Godfather Scotsman SK…the whole bling brothers thing doesn’t count, because that was completely unintentional. You’d think I’d learn about the dangers of handshaking :sigh:.

I feel so bad for Jimmy. Especially reading the spoilers forum! He was banging his head against the wall in there for weeks.

Giving the SK Godfather or Scotsman (or both! or other similar advantages) is a neat twist, though, and one I wouldn’t mind seeing more often, especially in larger games. It’s such a low-odds victory, otherwise.

Yeah, in retrospect Town was really screwed by the Night 1 results; not nearly enough time for anyone to have a clue that Jimmy was a Miller. (Though One and Only let that slip on the day he was lynched, I think.)

Yeah, sorry about that, Town. I picked Jimmy at random, and was amazed by the result.

You! are a bastard. Did you notice that I was investigating you while you were killing me (not that I’d have learned anything)?

And you’re all bastards with your “ **Jimmy** sure had us fooled.” Those first couple of days were not all fun and games in the dead room, let me tell you. In the end I don’t think it was decisive, but jesus, could my role have been any more frustrating?

Very well played, **Normal**. I can’t even imagine what the game was like from your end.
