But I'm not even playing!

Ha! Then there is nobody to stand in the way of whatever it is I want! Bwahahaha!

We should team up and be evil again and WIN ALL THE MAFIAS!

I wanna go out with a bang. (Or I guess in this case an ooze?)

10 points from House Method of Madness
10 points to House Linds

Method of Madness · « **Reply #52 on:** 22 May 2013, 16:54 »

I have my own house?

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #53 on:** 22 May 2013, 16:56 »

Yeah, and its down 10 points.

Character roles have been rolled out and the game will start 9pm GMT after I post the roles to everyone.

I notice my name's not on the list.

Oops, my bad.

Loki · « **Reply #56 on:** 23 May 2013, 13:13 »

I see the game has started.

Lynch GWF.

If I ever get trapped in a psychothriller, I want Masterpiece as the leader of the party.

I thought of the runner, personally.

OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE INVADER ZIM!

Uhm. Yeah. Sorry about that. But Invader Zim is one of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen, though I'm convinced that vast amount of mind-altering drugs played a huge role in it's production.

ankhtahr · « **Reply #62 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:23 »

Seriously though, what is my job as 'assistant'? Another word for 'expedition station bitch'?

Masterpiece · « **Reply #63 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:27 »

Just make something up. You can be assistant biologist.

also I think I shouldn't have sent you to take that flamethrower alone... Take someone with you.

I do too! But really I think Jhonen Vasquez is just a very strange man.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #66 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:39 »

I'm not sure about that. Who could think of a scene, where a bee bumps into a spaceship, which then causes the spaceship too crash and the bee to continue on as if nothing happened, WITHOUT being on drugs?

nekowafer · « **Reply #67 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:47 »

Have you read his comics? If he's on drugs, he has been on them for a very long time.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #68 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:48 »

I'm confused. If we only test, and non-Things can't be hurt by tests, there's no risk if killing someone innocent. Doesn't that go against a big part of Mafia?

Loki · « **Reply #69 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:51 »

Hm. Maybe you guys should just burn someone, for good measure. Someone like GW-*gunshot*

Seriously though, as far as I understand, IF you test a Thing, it might kill the last person who posted before the GM post; again, as far as I understand.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #70 on:** 24 May 2013, 06:06 »

Also bear in mind that we have no idea how many Things are out there. And all of them are allowed an action per day. I think that justifies nerfing them.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #71 on:** 24 May 2013, 06:17 »

Question in TED's Direction: If I'd start the spectrometer now, would that count as a proper test?

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #72 on:** 24 May 2013, 06:42 »

Is it me or is the RP in this one a lot better than some of the earlier ones?

Loki · « **Reply #73 on:** 24 May 2013, 06:46 »

Was my impression as well. Then again, imho people tend to roleplay a lot better in the first day/night.

ankhtahr · « **Reply #74 on:** 24 May 2013, 06:50 »

I never took part in one yet, so I just RP as much as I like.

Pistorius makes me think of Pustulio.

I was trying for a name that could have been turned into Masterpiece.
Mars Terrence Pistorious = Masterpiece. I was going to go with Pisces as surname, but that sounded too plain.

Of course, it's much easier to turn Mars Terrence Pistorious into Masterpiss, but eh.

The spectrometer blows up. The test involves taking a sample of blood and exposing the sample to a source of heat. Every Thing is connected and so hurting the blood hurts the Thing and it reacts.

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #77 on:** 24 May 2013, 07:12 »

Quick! Everyone to to the greenhouse! They have heat lamps!

So, since blowing up would definitely expose the sample to heat the Thing should react, right?

Loki · « **Reply #80 on:** 24 May 2013, 07:35 »

Guys, why don't ALL of you mix your blood and expose the mixture to the heat?
Edit: I retract my suggestion to burn GWF. Seeing all his weird names is so much funnier.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #81 on:** 24 May 2013, 07:38 »

The spectrometer malfunctions. TED obviously doesn't want us to use it and wants to stick to movie lore.

Are we defining boring as not RPing a lot? The whole point of the game is to get rid of the other faction first and that's usually through arguments and poking holes in each other's logic. I don't think anyone actively doing that whether RPing or not is being boring. I get that people would like more RP to go on in these games and I'm willing to play along because I want to help create that balance that satisfies everyone, but I'd hate to have to discourage the whole point of the game to do it.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #83 on:** 24 May 2013, 08:11 »

Seeing as how the last game ended pretty quickly, I wanted this game to at least have a chance to run a bit longer (Not too long though) and something a bit different for this last game. Just watching the films that only one person was not killed by the Thing in the John Carpenter film. But I want there to be distrust, with a sense of people keeping things to themselves, hence no PM between players. If you guys want to kill each other, ok, I'll add an amendment to the rules during the Night Phase.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #84 on:** 24 May 2013, 08:13 »

Personally, I'd prefer the rules as they are now. It's refreshingly different.

i think that's kind of the opposite way it worked in the movie isn't it? the reason the blood reacted was because every part of the organism was an independent life form that would fight for it's own survival even when it meant killing or compromising others of it's kind.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #86 on:** 24 May 2013, 08:18 »

I'm also thrown a bit that our roles were shared with everyone. I still need to post in the thread but I've never seen the movie and I have no idea what's going on

i think part of the difference we're having here is that some of us are more interested in the role playing aspect of this, while others are more interested in the game side of things.
Quote from: Method of Madness on 04 Apr 2013, 05:22
Which is fine as long one side doesn't start insisting the other is "wrong".

D'oh! You're right. That was always the one part of the film that confused me.

Game and Watch Forever · « **Reply #92 on:** 24 May 2013, 08:39 »

TED, what's making you think we want to kill each other that quickly? I think your rules are fine as is and I'm not sure if anyone's saying otherwise.

Warning - while you were typing 3 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.

Those responding to me: Yes, those previous posts from game 7 pretty much sum up how I feel as well. I just wanted to be sure I'm on the same page. Sorry if maybe I worded it poorly or seemed to be advocating my preferences over others'.

(OOC: No. I really should, though, I guess. Is it on Google play?)

EDIT: Where'd your post go MP?

(I asked him whether he had seen the movie.)

Sorry Matthew, I'm a bit giddy and deleted that post as soon as I posted it... but not quickly enough it seems.

Make sure you watch the Thing, it's quite a good movie. But the premise is basically that nobody is to be trusted and everybody doubts everyone. I don't know if it's on google play, I don't use it. But if everything else fails, PM me and I'll hook you up with something.
