Be Excellent To Each Other

lol @ MrDaves post.

Hello!

I think Mr Dave is the queen.

Hello

sorry you didnt get to kill Hicks

The minute I gave myself away to Bishop, I twigged that the most common sense move for him would be to trade knowledge of who the marines are to the company in exchange for being one of the two DACs left alive. Too late then though. Still, at least we didn't give up all of our names :0)

Yes that was very wise.
I feared that all the Marines would insert the code that Bishop requested into their posts.

Interesting - what was the code that Bishop requested? Didn't pick up on any of this at all.

Put a -- or .... in a post to identify ourselves to him.

Clever.

I find it quite fun / ironic that Gorman fudged up in this game, just like the Film. Still, at least he didnt take any marines out.

jesus h this is frustrating to watch.

Mr Dave: Me *shakes head*

Well yes, Dave - because you made up some incomprehensible list and refused to explain the slightest thing about it. Then started wibbling about cake and pants.

the annoying thing is the Colony can win this, but noone has any conviction.

WTF is bobby up to! Audacious...

its perfect really

Mr Dave just went up in my estimations

He's the scientist but has been face-hugged, right?

no

I think I know...

fook sake Gill just vote...eash.

Ha! She is dragging it out somewhat, rightly or wrongly.

Hmm, not sure why Dom is unvoting.

playing against his win condition

Not if it helps ID more aliens. Gill is very much looking like she's in a team with Bobby right now.

Fuck, I've just realised that not only was I stupid enough to give away loads of info to the company via Bishop, but if Bobby is a hugged company man, that's all now been handed over to the aliens, too. I've totally underestimated the effect of Bishop and played like a moron this game.

Given that he's now outed, Dom should reveal Newt (in case anyone hasn't already picked up on that) at this point, and probably ID who we scanned night one, though the facehugging makes that less than useful.

I think Bishop is the best character in the game for the most part

he gets 2 night actions, which means lots of interaction and fun
he can fudge the system of "yes / no " questions to be more like statements of fact, or coerce either faction into giving up information.
and yesh if one of the Companies were to become facehugged the Company is fucked because that persons nominated night actions (via Burke) wont work and then the colony is also screwed cos the Aliens inherit any knowledge gained.

Grim... was just unlucky that he got taken out by Gorman as he was having a terrific game imho

who do you think Rebecca Jorden is ?

From hints, Morte. Could have been a bluff though.

That would have been nice to know!

Its a secret
Just like the Cult games. it would be no fun if Id told you one of your dudes was facehugged would it.

in hindsight, to make the balance better, id make it so company and marines are immune to facehugs
then the aliens only have about a 35% success rate with facehugs making them less powerful.

yeah was a good hint that
no doubt Gill missed it cos she hasnt watched the movies, her and anyone else for that matter.

edit
actually on 2nd thoughts.

Hah. So bobby wasn't company turned alien, but someone else is!

Which means that the person we investigated on night one is still a DAC. I wonder if my boys will note that.

I assume it also means the company have lost.

Nice try Bobby!

Company have lost yes as there are no company members alive.

So - 3 aliens left then?

My predictions:

Gill
Owen
Mr Dave for converted company man.

The fact that people can lie to him makes asking actual questions pretty much pointless. Hence me ramming information in both directions

If people actually stop to consider why they might want to lie.

I think I was pretty generous with some of the information sharing, but in hindsight yes, I think a yes/no question is limiting.
I should rethink that, perhaps one statement per day or somesuch.

O RLY?

can someone add Mr Dom here please? thanks

Done. Bobby A too.

Helloooooo!!!!

All up to the final Marine to guide the dumb-asses through the home straight...
Only 2 aliens left in hiding I reckon, so some lucky guessing will find em.

Least i got to blast the queen.. RAAAAARRRR!!

Good game, I really enjoyed it.
People have been asking why we have been killing not facehugging. Well, really, I will explain in detail afterwards, but basically, we wanted it to be a close game as they are much more fun. And this was fun!
Thanks for running LS.

glad you enjoyed it

I liked the bit of subterfuge you tried to pull saying you were company. unfortunately Mr Dom knew you werent

You did tell us that you facehugged the company guy tho, which made us breath a sigh of relief

Fun game so far - just hope colony pulls it through.

As far as rules go, I think Marines/colony should get the same win? all aliens & company dead (standard Scum thing - town kill all baddies = win)
