Not at liberty to reveal what, but the persons in question know what I'm talking about.

Oh you don't say!

We just have to wait for the rescue sub to dock and we'll all be rescued, I think maybe the game hasn't ended because there is still a monster in the brig and we have to kill it, not sure. I'm feeling fairly nervous, I mean confident.

So, who's going to post a post match report? There's some funny things going on. I'm not entirely sure I know what did happen, or what the book or the red robes were about.

I thinking on posting a journal that my character wrote in on the post game thread.

UnderseaLcpl · 06-01-09, 11:15 PM

A journal? That's actually a really good idea. It would help flesh out the story and it would be an original perspective.

I like it

Jimbuna · 06-02-09, 06:43 AM

Two days max left.....kill the brig inhabitants....if that doesn't do it then you know who has been duping you all along.

This is the problem when people become sheep...they're easily shepherded :rotfl:

But this time round we know precisely whose ashes will be in that urn

baggygreen · 06-02-09, 07:30 AM

Snap.

Ouch. well... you're a ghost so I wonder who I'm gonna call...

Letum · 06-02-09, 11:24 AM

Bloody well done to Chief Petty Officer Nisgeis!

he played a stunning game as you will all see when you read his account in
the game's main thread.

He was the one possessed by the Kraken and the winner of the game.
Congrats!

Thanks to everyone who took part.

Nisgeis · 06-02-09, 11:43 AM

Damn, and I was almost certain we'd got all the monsters.

EDIT: Btw, what was all that about a book, the sonar image and the red robes?

Tarrasque · 06-02-09, 11:44 AM

Grrrrrr.....

If only we'd had one more daylight period - Nisgeis would be dead.

UnderseaLCpl and me had already agreed to lynch him.

Surprised I lasted as long as I did though.

@UnderseaLCpl - Next time don't let the monsters into the investigative team!

@Letum - Might be better next time to keep who is a monster constant - makes it very difficult to work out who's who.

Finally well done to Nisgeis and thanks to Letum for arranging and running the game.

Onkel Neal · 06-02-09, 11:51 AM

Pure awesome! Best game yet.

After the pressure equalized the green light came on and Neal Stevens
stepped out from the 2nd rescue craft and into the cargo hall of
HMS Thanatus.

Hmmm... that should be Captain Neal, I guess I was in the rescue sub after all!

Well, the first monster died on day two, the second and final one would have
died on day 5. I took the decision to give Nisgies the choice to become
another to avoid a short game. partly, this was inspired by myself receiving
the same choice from Neal in the last game (I chose to remain human).

It was very, very far from certain thatNisgeis would achieve victory.
I'm sure it will be clear after reading his account in the game thread that it
was entirely a result of his own good play and a bit of luck.

Last game their where 5 monsters, this game their where only 3 and only
one was active at any one time (and often none where active!). They did
very well to win!

Oberon · 06-02-09, 12:04 PM

Very nicely done, with some fantastic quotes in the game which I have highlighted in posts above

Now for my side,

Initially I did not know who to suspect, so I decided to pick on the idle victims, those who had not posted after the first day or two, I figured that doing this would push the game forward. Unfair, perhaps, but at that point I was under the mistaken impression that I could only abstain three times (don't ask me how I got that idea into my head

)
So, here is Oberon, a thirty something techie from a Rescue sub with a background in fleet boats and a bit of knowledge of reactors on board the boat of the damned, what is he to do?
Mainly engage with techie conversation with Raptor and start the bug juice drinking craze, Baggygreen PM'd me with suspicsions of Raptor, but at that time I was not convinced.
As a player, the external clues were there, the red cloak worn by the Admiral, Raptors book (but was it a game equipment or one created by Raptor?) and the sonar printout.
The Sonar printout, once received, as easy enough to figure out roughly what it was, for me anyway, but for a engineer? Not so easy, so Oberon had no idea what it all meant, nor did he know how to operate the sonar station.
It was around this point that the Spanish Inqu...erm...I mean the Investigation showed up again, I had been on the receiving end of these chaps in the last game, and a scary process it was too. Firstly an apology from UnderseaLCpl came through, indicating that the interrogation in the last game came from faulty intel leaked by Hitman. I provided my details honestly and gave them my list of people who I suspected, Raptor, Jimbuna, Jalu3, Tarrasque.
What a great judge of character I am

I realised at this point that everyone had different pieces of the puzzle, and if we were to make any sense of where we were, we had to share all the pieces we had. So I came forward and told everyone what I knew, hoping to get the same level of openness in return.
Fail.
I don't know whatever became of Tarjaks DNA tests, whether it was a in-game plot or a player made plot. Either which way, they were undoubtably killed with Tarjak.

After this, I believe I voted for Tarrasque, and received a PM from Tarjak saying that this would result in the death of a human, I asked his proof, he replied the seer. Little did we know that the seer was a spy!

Shortly afterwards, Jimbuna did his Crimson Tide bit and threw Raptor in the brig, at this point I decided to have little Oberon start to feel the pressure as he was on good terms with Raptor. In his descent into madness I wanted him to free Raptor and Baggygreen but regrettably I could not. At this point I was as near as darnit sure that Jim was the remaining beast, and in my final vote, voted for him as he voted for me.
I expected to be put in the brig in a strait jacket, but wound up dead instead.
So, how many here thought I was a monster, eh?

Amazing what a little bit of paranoia and talking to oneself in the third person can do, eh?
