game 36 over team rocket blast off at the speed of llight

Posted June 7, 2015 by Feral Wolf

Quote Edit

All though-out the night, Roxas,[g]Pikachu[/g], sat huddled in his camp praying to Arceus to stay alive. A hand came down on his shoulder, and he screamed.

"Whoa, calm down", said White Lancer, it's just me. If we stick together, we can survive." "Good thinking", said Roxas. Suddenly, the clawed hand on his shoulder filled with dark energy slashing though his body.  As Roxas lay on the ground in pain, he looked at White Lancer and gasped, seeing the face of his arch rival, [r]Persian[/r]. "But, why... how?" Roxas moaned.

"You shoulddn't believe everything you hear..." said Lancer, "but then again, sometimes you should. Fate works in mysterious ways.." was the last thing Roxas heard.

-----

Meanwhile, unable to sleep, Jathan the [g]ranger[/g] was wandering around the arena. Sitting on the bleachers, he closed his eyes for a second, and screamed upon opening them. There stood [r]Darkrai[/r], Black Yoshi. "See how close you came to winning? Isn't having victory grabbed from you such a... [i]Nightmare[/i]?" Jathan fainted in horror. Yoshi laughed, then began to blur, before taking his real form, that of Speed Bike Pro. "Sweet Dreams..."

From there it was only a matter of time before the real Black Yoshi and FAW, the final two [g]Rangers[/g] were defeated, and Team Rocket reigned supreme.

Let me explain what happened with Roxas, Lancer, and Speed.

When Roxas targeted Lancer on Night 1, he normally would have gotten a random innosent role. But, Speed just happened to target Roxas that same Night, [i]reversing[/r] the reversed roles, basically canceling out Persian's own unique power and causing Roxas to get what was basically an inccorect Guilty result. The fact that it came up Persian rather then Meowth or Darkrai was complete chance, as determined by flipping two coins.

Also, we need to do something about host kills that can impact the game in a huge way.

We need to do somthing about having such low activity levels in games with so few people as it is.

Looking at the mafia thread, I do agree that the Darkrai shouldn't have been able to result in a result of Persian.

June 7, 2015

hezekiah

Well, it's kinda hard to plan for something that is litteraly a 1/1,000,000 chance of happening. Had to make a decision on the fly, and it didn't seem fair to limit the random results based on the actual role at the time.

June 7, 2015

Edit

Feral Wolf

The Rogue Wolf

Sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to me... let's see what the math says.

Darkrai has 1/8 of targeting Pikachu (wouldn't target a mafia member), Pikachu has 1/10 of targeting Persian (wouldn't target himself), Rocket role has 1/3 of being Persian. 1/8 * 1/10 * 1/3 = 1/240 at the worst case.

But regardless of the probabilities, allowing Pikachu to get an "impossible" result doesn't feel like the way it should've been set up. Only giving realistic results would've been preferable imo. I still do think you hosted well enough to get the +1, but disagree with that decision.

Lord Jesus. As always I'm just half right... Ugh shoulda stuck with Speed, you sneaky snake.

Also....these roles though...

FAW

I'm sorry! But if we had just killed lancer on Day 2. And if the town had a night killing role, but that's neither here nor there.

June 7, 2015

Edit

`Roxas`

My hands were tied on the rolls. I had to eliminate two of them as it was, due to limited players, and this was the best way I could keep them even.

Don't blame the hosts for lack luster games, when resources are so low.

Didn't mean for that to come across as accusatory.

I should be able to get my scores up tomorrow so Speed can add them to the doc.

Nah, we really don't. Good job to Feral for following through with host kills.

Good game everyone. Wasn't expecting Lancer to actually be Persian...

Could someone poke me when the sign ups for the next game start, I keep meaning to sign up but for some reason I forget or whatever.

GG guys. We just got really lucky with our power role hits.

Also thank god that lancer was active on that last night to win the game because I was too busy irl to check. (pepe)

I agree with both parts of this. I would have removed Persian as a possible 'random' hit, but ultimately I think Feral handled the game and this specific question well--he answered the question correctly without being deceptive, but also without giving out any hints as to what had happened. Game ran smoothly, too...too bad about the activity levels, but the host just can't help that sometimes.

For the record, I was very torn on FAW. She did make it to the last night, but I felt that was more from laying low then actual sucsess.

If you guys feel she should get a good playing point, I'll give it to her.

Isn't there dying early points?

June 9, 2015

Edit

Lady Flare

Isn't there dying early points?

Usually at the host's discretion. I typically award pity points for people who die too early to contribute in any kind of meaningful way. I'll leave it up to Feral.

June 9, 2015

Speed Bike Pro

How on earth did I get a good playing for making a lucky guess, then directing everyone to lynch the wrong person, yet FAW got nothing for going tf in on the third round trying to lead a lynch on the right person..?

Frustro

Awe, Thx Feral. Glad I can help. Even though I didn't do much.

June 10, 2015

Edit

Castrael

Oh, forgot to say that I'm willing to host next if no one else does. If I do, do you guys want a mini mafia or the main game?

June 10, 2015

Edit

Castrael

What's the difference?

June 10, 2015

Edit

Ghowilo

Rounds are shorter by default.

June 11, 2015

Edit

Castrael

I actually think some time between now and the signups for the next game would be beneficial -- say, two weeks at least. I know some of us are anxious to get going again (coughcoughSpeedcoughcough), but some of us are burned out, and some time away from the game would be very beneficial.

June 11, 2015

Edit

Black Yoshi

I was actually planning on giving this a little time, I am much too busy anyways.

June 11, 2015

Edit

Speed Bike Pro

Also, the player scores have been updated. I awarded Feral +1 for a good job of hosting.

June 11, 2015

Edit

Speed Bike Pro

Thank you Frustro for your words for me. Though they were ignored.

June 11, 2015

Edit

FAW

I agree with the time away part.

June 12, 2015

Edit

Castrael

Yay... another month and a half to wait.

June 12, 2015

Edit

Ghowilo

Let's wait until everyone is back in school and have busy lives to start the next game.

June 12, 2015

Ghowilo

I didn't say that long.

Speed Bike Pro

My trackrecord for politness this last week hasn't been very good...

I have no objection if Frustro wants to give his point to FAW. I'm a terrible judge anyway.

Also, I'm sot sure a break will help this time. Moon opened sign-ups for Adventure after a good three month hiatus, and still got barely any players. he actually has more spectators then players.

The Rogue Wolf

I have no objection if Frustro wants to give his point to FAW.

If'n ya please, that'd be much appreciated. And thank you for having the (apparently rare) decency to acknowledge my request.

June 13, 2015

Edit

Frustro

I agree with Feral, I feel like these breaks are going to do less to gain people and more to make them, well, less interested.

June 13, 2015

Edit

Ghowilo

We need a balance between "all mafia all the time" and "*crickets chirping*". Somewhere between 4 days to a week's break in between games should be good...

So considering it's already been 1 week... We should get sign-ups up. (crazy)
