View Full Version : Starship Exodus (Mini Mafia Game)
“We have been betrayed…” the man-shaped being lying on the bright metallic slab muttered quietly to himself. “A whole fleet of them… we didn’t stand a chance… URGGH!” A scythe-like instrument extending from the medical computer has just descended into his flesh and burnt off his injured tissues within his wounds; the scythe then swiftly rose, and then turned blood red. “I’m dying…” He noted as he read the message encoded in the light emanating from the scythe, as though he is uninterested in his own fate. “But the men… they will need a leader… a leader who can lead them to safety… Reik would be a good choice… yes…” In truth there has been little choice, as there are only seven crewmen left after the devastating Solarian attack, leaving Reik as the only ranking officer still alive.
“Computer, call Officer Reik’Danel into medical capsule” The Captain wheezed into biometric microphone beside the slab.
A few minutes later, the tall Arborian arrived within the small chamber which holds the Captain. He bowed respectfully, and waited for the Captain to speak.
The Captain spoke as quickly as he could, telling Reik what he needed to do: to guide the ship to Utopia, and bring a warning to the rest of their race.
An hour later, Reik walked out of the medical capsule with a sense of purpose, and a heavy responsibility. The Captain has told him to keep it secret, and only tell the rest of the crew that the ship is on auto-pilot, as he has reason to believe that there is a saboteur on board. The Captain has also told him to pick a trusted crewman as his guard, and only tell him that he has become the Captain-Elect, and that he is to follow Reik’s orders, but nothing about the co-ordinates of Utopia. As for dealing with the saboteur… Reik was unsure what to do, and decided that he would ask the crew to decide amongst themselves, and throw the suspect into the brigs.
Reik looked at the battered walls of the starship and relieved the memories of the terrible battle which caused such horrendous damage to the ship, and vowed that he would succeed in the mission given to him by the Captain, no mater what.
Background:
The starship “Hunter of the Zephyer” is ambushed, along with seven other light starships of similar tonnage in a starbase near Xa’vas III, by a Solarian strike fleet. The resulting battle resulted in the deaths of the majority of the crewmen of the “Hunter of the Zephyer”, and its flight through space.
The Captain of the ship decided that the rest of their race has to be warned of this Solarian betrayal, and orders his subordinate Reik to navigate the ship to Utopia, the great refuge built by their forefathers to be a safe harbor for their people should there be a great danger to them.
The Solarian spy onboard the ship has masqueraded as a crewman and seeks to find the location of Utopia by killing the Captain-Elect Reik. However, his presence has been discovered by the crew, and the crew must now vote democratically to decide who amongst them is the Solarian spy… and then lock the suspect in the brig.
Rules:
Lengths of phases: 24 hours (or as close as possible)
Can vote no lynch/abstain: YES
Can quote/make up PMs: YES
Can private reveal: YES
Can post screenshots: NO
Can post chat logs: NO
Can the dead post: YES
Can the dead quote PMs: NO
Can the dead reveal their roles: NO
Can the players locked in the brig PM others: YES
Can they vote: NO
Can they talk in the thread: YES
During the night phase players can activate any of their special powers, if they have any. NOTE: they may only use one action per phase (apart from passive ones)
During the night phase two players can team up and kill/protect one player with 100% chance of success unless disrupted, blocked, one of them did not send the PM or one of the participants was killed. They must both send a PM using this format:
“I, along with NAME, will protect/kill NAME”
When a person is lynched, he is not killed, he is only detained in the brig, he can be freed... using someone's special power.
Discussing the games with another person behind the scenes are encouraged... please form alliances and break them at your leisure :beam: Beware of the saboteur though...
In the event of a tie during voting, there will be a 24 hour extension to break the tie. If there is still a tie after the extension, there will be no lynches.
Roles:
There are 1 Captain-Elect, 1 Guard, 1 Solarian Saboteur, and 4 other roles.
The Guard will always protect the Captain-Elect unless the Guard performs another action. To kill the Captain-Elect, the Saboteur will have to kill/lynch the guard first. Only the Guard knows the identity of the Captain-Elect and vice versa.
The Captain may not reveal to anyone.
Cover PMs will also be sent to some roles.
Objectives:
The Captain-Elect, Guard and the crewmen’s aims are to lynch/kill the Saboteur.
The Solarian Saboteur’s aim is to kill the Captain-Elect Reik.
The Captain-Elect must not be lynched.
The game starts with a night phase.
(This is my first game so this game will be probably very unbalanced and contain lots of mistakes, please bear with me on this)

Ah but only the Guard knows who the Captain is, so that shouldn't happen... Will add rule so that the Captain can't reveal to anyone though, just in case.
FactionHeir
08-26-2008, 20:16
Well, that would make it obvious in that the Captain could only act together with the guard and anyone else contacting the captain to perform actions would find it fishy.
That will not be a problem :devilish:
Edit: Making rule changes... man hosting a game is hard!
I'll play, this looks fun.
Edit: You said private reveals are allowed, but said nothing about public reveals. Am I correct in assuming these are allowed too?

So... what's the point of invisible mode anyway if you can still track when they were on? :laugh4:
Vote: Sarathos
No particular reason. Also guys, remember that it wasn't just the mafia who didn't kill anyone.. we have that same ability if we team up.
*An omnipresent voice suddenly was heard throughout the spaceship*
I believe that the being known as Sarathos was... "killed" during the battle... and thus does not take part in the discussion... (OOC, Sarathos is not in the game...)

Any reason?
El Diablo
08-28-2008, 20:37
Okay here is the situation (and it may just be co-incidence).
I (finally) have a secret power in this mafia game in that I get to stop the action of one player during the night. Not kill them as I am town but give them a mild poison (as quoted by our host) and stop them doing anything....
Thus last night I requested that I stop Lord Winter from doing anything. It succeeded - although this does not 100% prove his guilt as the mafia may not have been active. I did have a 1 in 6 chance though? Maybe Maybe not....
It is however the only thing I have to go on.
Vote Lord Winter
If I am wrong please feel free to lynch me next round, but as for random votes I at least have a target (albeit a flawed one).
ED
Hmm... that's unlikely, but it seems like the only lead we have. Of course, there's no reason you couldn't be lying about either the existance of your ability or the fact that you used it on Lord Winter...
But I really had no reason to vote for you, either.
Unvote: El Diablo
Vote: Lord Winter
Will you tell us about your role, Lord Winter?
FactionHeir
08-28-2008, 21:39
I don't think this revealing is going to help as the mafia can claim any role too and we wouldn't know if it existed or not.
That said, blocking someone doesn't mean they are guilty. You could have blocked a plain role. As I said, the most likely thing is that the mafia can investigate too. He's a spy afterall.
Anyway,
vote QJC because he's pressing me to reveal in private to him.
Lord Winter
08-28-2008, 21:40
I'm a detective of sorts every round I can investgate one player with a 50% chance of finding out if he's guilty or not. You blocked me from investagting Factionheir. Thanks :(
El Diablo
08-28-2008, 21:52
I am pretty confident that QJC is innocent - well at least not scum. QJC has also pm'ed me and what he has told me suggests that he is not scum.
I would prefer not to reveal what he told me for now so that we have some leverage over the mafia for later.
I do however suspect Lord Winter more now. I say lynch this mafioso now.

El Diablo - 1 (Lord Winter)
Qunitus - 1 (FactionHeir)
Not voted - Caius
Half an hour of voting left... get your votes in :inquisitive:
Edit:
and DAY 1 ends!
Lord Winter is sent to the brig (unfortunately, the intercom system installed in the brig still works so Lord Winter is still able to PM other players) and all his belongings were confiscated by a person chosen by lot. The six remaining crewmen went back to their quaters, not sure of what to expect this coming night.
NIGHT 2 begins, please send your PMs. (Or if you prefer, by email, shlin28@gmail.com) NIGHT 2 will end in 24 hours.

Again no night kills. This means:
- either the saboteur has a secondary power (investigation has been raised as a possibility, no?)
- or the saboteur is an inactive player.
Since we can't have proof of the first, I'll go with the second idea and vote:Caius. He didn't vote/post during the first day, so it's possible he forgot about this. If he did, then he won't have sent kill orders.
Tally:
Caius: 1 (WH)
Edit: let's try to keep a tally throughout the game, okay? Makes it easier to vote and such.
Quintus.JC
08-30-2008, 13:21

To even imagine such thing makes me want to laugh. :laugh4:
There's a third possiblity, El Diablo is able to block people's actions, it is possible that he blocked the mafia of his kill, all we have to do is wait for El Diablo to go online and tell us who it was that he poisoned.
Warmaster Horus
08-30-2008, 13:35
Or we might have been lucky and the saboteur was blocked. My two points were what first went through my head.
FactionHeir
08-30-2008, 13:58
Maybe its Lord Winter whos already in the brig and we just need to wait a few days to arrive home? :tongue2:
I am positive that Caius is not the saboteur. For whatever reason he didn't vote the last day, but he has been keeping communication with me through pm.
I guess I'll pick one of you guys. Factionheir seems the most suspicious to me. So Vote: Factionheir.
Warmaster Horus
08-30-2008, 17:56
Well, until Caius posts and proves he's not lurking, I'll keep my vote on him.
Tally:

I'm sorry for lurking. shlin sent me a PM when the round was over.

FactionHeir: 1 (Chaotix27)
FactionHeir
08-30-2008, 21:44
vote:Chaotix then, to balance the scales.
Just saying I'm suspicious isn't helpful. Give reasons. I could say the same of you.
Warmaster Horus
08-30-2008, 23:30
I'll actually vote:QJC, since he was third on the Lord Winter bandwagon.
Tally:
FH: 1 (Chaotix)
Chaotix: 1 (FH)
QJC: 1 (WH)
Sigh... I don't know why I'm voting for you, FH. It's really too vague to even guess at who is the saboteur at this point. I think we all need to come up with a decision on who we'll lynch, and stick with it, otherwise we won't get anywhere.
Unvote: Factionheir, Vote: Quintus.JC
Edit: Tally:
QJC: 2 (WH, Chaotix)
Chaotix: 1 (FH)
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 01:26
As far as I know QJC is a detective, so lynching him isn't that great of an idea.
Quintus.JC
08-31-2008, 09:28
Vote: Chaotix
Nothing wrong with a bit of self perservation. ~:rolleyes:
Note: If there is a tie at the end of the phase (12 GMT), there will be an 6 hour extension :bow:
There will be a further 24 hour extension due to the tie... I am otherwisely engaged tonight so you guys better decide on who to lock up by tomorrow.
You may vote for anyone.
Alright... I'd say it's pretty important that I'm not lynched. If you guys will as well, I'm withdrawing my vote- Unvote:Quintus.JC - and maybe we can figure out who to vote for by discussion.
I'll start:
Chaotix- I know that I'm not the saboteur, but I have no real way of proving to you. You guys will just have to believe me...
Caius- I also know that Caius is innocent.
Lord Winter- As far as we know, because the game is still going, he's innocent. If anyone has a way of unlocking the brig, they should do it.
more coming...
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 16:51
Why are you afraid of being lynched? :inquisitive:
I have an important special ability that I'd rather not reveal for now, so the mafia can't expect it. But it would really cripple the town if I was lynched.
I also know that El Diablo didn't block the mafia that last phase. The mafioso is, for some reason, not killing people on purpose.
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 17:06
So, whos your suspect.
I don't have a single suspect. At this point, I believe it could be you, WH, or Quintus, with a small chance that it might be El Diablo, because I doubt shlin would give the mafia an extra ability in such a small game... although that could also be the reason the mafia's not killing- because he's been knocking them out with poison instead.
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 17:58
Any reason you are omitting Caius' name?
Quintus.JC
08-31-2008, 19:17
Unvote: Chaotix27
Hmm... I suppose I shouldn't really trust anyone. Caius has revealed to me already, and for now I believe he's innocent, but you're right. He definitely could be mafia, I just don't believe that's true.
Vote:Quintius
He is being a lot evassive lately, like he is trying to not to appear. What do you have to hide?
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 20:48
Chaotix: Mafioso has a cover role though, so reveal means nothing unless you can prove it via detective results.
How about you two, FactionHeir and Quintus? Who are your suspects?
El Diablo
08-31-2008, 21:00
Sorry guys. Back after the weekend.
Yes I did manage to get my block in for the second night.
This was my reasoning....
1. I blocked LW round one and no one died - thus I thought I had got lucky and stopped the mafia dead. The game kept going and so I thought wrong?
So if no one died and the "mafia" was not blocked, why did he not kill?
Perhaps he was inactive....
Caius did not vote so I attempted to block him and it worked according to the pm I got from Shin.
So Caius is a suspect (but only in the same way and same reasons we got LW).
The thing I don't understand is if LW was not lying then he has a detective ability, and so does QJC, FH claims a special ability and so does Chaotix27?
TWO detectives and a blocker and a couple of other specials? Seems a bit of full house?
I also know that El Diablo didn't block the mafia that last phase. The mafioso is, for some reason, not killing people on purpose. by Chaotix27
:inquisitive:
Vote Chaotix27
Explain? :whip: and the vote comes off.
FactionHeir
08-31-2008, 21:06
Currently I think Chaotix and Caius are the most suspicious.
Quintus.JC
08-31-2008, 21:22
It's understandable that everyone has a special ability. There's only 7 people playing so Shlin was able to make one for everyone. I currently don't have much idea about who the mafia is, but I'm positively sure that El Diablo is innocent though.
In fact, I tried to save El Diablo but he blocked me. I got this PM from shlin:
You ate your meal and went back to your quarters to gear up for the big night ahead of you. Unfortunately when you got to your room you felt very very very tired. You fell asleep immediately and thus did not have time to meet up with (not gonna reveal who).
Quintus.JC
08-31-2008, 21:34
El Diablo is the blocker, I know the mafia might have dual abilities but I'm postively sure that its not El Diablo.
Yup, that's it, El Diablo. We were trying to protect you from harm just in case the mafia came after you because he knew your role. We couldn't pull it off, though, because you blocked Caius. Caius told me about what happened when shlin pm'ed me about how he never arrived to help. Not that it really matters, now, though, because no one tried to kill you.

Yep, sorry. Been absent practically all day, then found out my internet connection is getting problems. Basically I can use it for x minutes until it sort of shuts down, cuts me from the net, and forces me to wait 5 minutes to get it back up. Very annoying.
Anyhoo, I haven't caught up yet, and I'll do so tomorrow. It's after midnight and I've got school in two days.
El Diablo
09-01-2008, 00:14
Ummm stating that you have had limited internet usage and the mafia has (appeared) to be inactive is not a good way of professing your innocence...

09-01-2008, 10:08
Erm, okay...
El Diablo, I did not see it that way. You'll notice that my priorities on the org would be LotR and WotB (games in the Throne Room). Those can take some time, and when the Internet is shutting down every 10 minutes it gets annoying.
Caius, you posted that about an hour after I said I was going to sleep... And I don't sleep for only 2 hours... If it's too late for me, then so be it.
Give me 20 minutes now and I'll post an opinion.
Warmaster Horus
09-01-2008, 10:32
Sorry for the double post...
I'll say that for now Chaotix is the most scummy. It seems to me he's the only one who got out of scrutiny by claiming an important ability that would cripple the town. I don't understand how that alone got him out of trouble...
Vote:Chaotix
If I missed something again, then sorry...
Day phase ends...
Gimme couple minute to sort the tally out and it will be night phase :bow:
WH did not unvote QJC before voting Chaotix, but I'm gonna give him benefit of the doubt and count his vote for Chaotix. Unfortunately, this is still a tie, so no-one is sent to the brig :bow:

Okay so last night I stopped WH for doing anything.
Nothing happened again and once again this does not prove his guilt.
Now i feel that it either WH or Chaotix but that is just a hunch and I am pretty bad at sencing out mafia.
I would say....
vote Chaotix

I have faith in Ed, if he's wrong then it's his fault, not mine.
Vote: Chaotix
For me, people, we have been fooled by Warmaster Horus. He has pointed that there has not being any kills, and therefore, I think that he tries to make himself a good person using that argument, but he is not. The guilt on WH won't never appear because he is waiting to hit in the right movement. Let's think about this: Who would let alive the role-blocker when he could catch you?
Vote:Warmaster Horus

FoS Caius
Helping your buddy?
After Chaotix your next. :skull:
Helping your buddy?
Telling the truth.
This isn't good.... If I am lynched, it will be bad news for the town. I strongly urge you all to reconsider.
I really have no idea who to vote for myself. The only one that I can truly believe is innocent right now is El Diablo, as he mentioned that he blocked Caius on Night 2 before he knew what I was going say, that I also knew Caius had been blocked because we were working together. Now, however, I don't even know if I can trust him.
Unvote: FactionHeir
Please reconsider your decisions, everyone. I won't vote for anyone yet myself.
Day 3 ends...
Chaotix is sent to the brig :bow:
Night 4 begins.
Actually I'm only messing with you, this game is now over :bow: Please read this write-up and post anything that can be improved upon for this game (apart from getting more kills of course...)
Five days later...
The spy was smiled his crooked smile as he looked upon his quarry, locked behind a quantum shield of infinite complexity.
The remaining crewmen had quarrelled amongst themselves so much that the spy has been able to conduct his search undetected for the Captain-Elect. Without much difficulty, he has realised that none of the remaining crewmen has any clue about the location of Utopia, nor anything that suggests that they held knowledge about anything above their ranks. That would lead to one logical conclusion, that the Captain-Elect has been locked in the brig already.
How very fortunate…
It was not difficult to secure some explosive charges from the wrecked remains of the ship armoury, and soon the spy waited with barely bated breath outside the locked cell which contained the Captain-Elect, a red button held within his fingers.
KABOOM!
The brig door blasted open, and the spy walked calmly in.
“Hello there,” he said cheerfully to one of the two figures in the brig.
The Captain-Elect looked up, but said nothing.
“Hm… that is hardly the right attitude for something this important is it? Guess I’ll just let my Truth drug do its work then…” The spy almost sounded regretful, before roughly taking the Captain-Elect’s throat and shoved a purple tablet into his mouth.
The Captain-Elect’s face went white, and appeared almost to faint, but yet somehow still managed to remain in the sitting position.
“Now, tell me, where exactly is this Utopia thing??” asked the spy.
This time, the Captain-Elect has no choice but to answer.
---
As the last answer was forced from the Captain-Elect’s throat, he finally collapsed under the exhaustion of taking such a dangerous drug.
The spy was even more pleased now, if it was at all possible. The Council must be pleased now… maybe I will even get my own planet!
As he prepared to walk out of this half-ruined brig, a quiet voice cried out from the other side of the brig. “Wait! I…I’m on your side!”
The spy turned around, his custom-made Solarian blaster trained on the person from which the voice was emitted from. “How could you be on my side?”
“I…I…I am a half-Solarian… on my father’s side. I can help you on this ship, I…I can give you information that you can’t find out by yourself!”
The spy looked more closely at this supposed ‘sympathiser’, and saw that this crewman, the one that had been locked in the brig the first day after the attack, indeed has several human features amongst the otherwise alien face.
“Come on then, but beware, any hints of betrayal…” the spy did a motion with his blaster, and walked out. The sympathiser was happy beyond words that he has been spared, and followed the spy out of the brig, without so much as a second glance at the unconscious Captain-Elect.
---
The Guard was angry with himself, how could he had let his charge, his Captain-Elect, the Keeper of Secret be locked in the brig? He had tried again and again the following days to somehow get him out, but to no avail.
“Boo.” a voice said behind him.
“Wha-ARGGGHHHHH!” He had turned around, but as soon as he did, a fist punched into his face.
Before the Guard could react, the shadowy stranger lifted what appeared to be a Solarian blaster, and begun shooting at the defenceless Guard.
BOOM – green blood sprayed onto the deck.
BOOM – a broken tendril flew off, dripping blood as it flew across the room.
BOOM – an ominous crunching sound was heard as the Guard’s bones broke under the relentless wave of shots.
BOOM – a body crashed onto the floor.
“Alien scum…a waste of bullets…” muttered the spy as he walked away, leaving a bloody corpse in his wake.
---
The spy waited on the bridge of the starship “Hunter of the Zephyr” for the ship to complete the journey towards Hiero VI, the Solarian base where the bulk of the Solarian strike-fleet is based whilst they are waiting for his report on the location of Utopia, the secret enemy refuge which must be destroyed, before the aliens can be wiped out forever.
All the others are killed… well, apart from that dumb half-Solarian…he shall prove useful enough… if not… well, my blaster still got enough bullets to ki-
The spy was interrupted from his reverie when the inter-ship intercom suddenly flickered into life for the first time in a week. “Hello? Is anybody there? I repeat, is this the starship Hunter of the Zephyr?”
The spy was shocked, but quickly recovered and spoke into the laser microphone: “Yes…this is the Hunter of the Zephyer, we…are heavily damaged, I…I think there are only two of us left on this ship, we a-”
The voice did not let him finish speaking: “Okay… we will use our tractor beam to bring you into the fleet… activating in three, two, one…”
The spy barely had time to scream before his ship was pulled from light stream, and landed in the middle of the biggest Exarchate fleet gathered in history.
The spy looked at the huge fleet around him through the view screens – battered, broken ships filled his view, some are barely the size of a yacht, whilst others are huge lumbering fighter carriers. Yet they all have one thing in common, they are all clearly fleeing from terrible battles; they are all refugee ships from the Solarian war machine…
Perhaps I can wreck more havoc here before I return to base… the spy smiled his twisted smile, and thought of the untold glory that he would gain if he led this fleet into Solarian hands.
GAME OVER! It is a mafia victory! Congrats to Warmaster Horus!
Here are the roles…
KING – Chaotix27
GUARD - Caius
SPY – Warmaster Horus
COOK – El Diablo
DOCTOR – FactionHeir
JANITOR – Quintus.JC
SYMPATHISER - Lord Winter
Hope you enjoyed this kill-less game! :bow:

:fainting:
Damn. I kind of thought Chaotix was the captain, but him and Caius pairing up to kill Quintus was very scummy.
Good game nonetheless, thanks shlin :bow:
Quintus.JC
09-03-2008, 20:25
Damn! Sorry Chaotix... :oops:
I only investigated Warmaster Horus last night and was about to investigate Caius, had I got one of their identities things could of be much different.
Congratulations to the mafia.
Thank you Shlin for Hosting.
DAMN YOU EL DIABLO!
Don't worry mate, I should had voted! If you did not block me, we would had won.
FactionHeir
09-03-2008, 20:36
Explain?
Caius and Chaotix attempted to kill WH on night 2, but ED blocked Caius :bow:
One thing I am interested in for me planning for the next game is, did everyone managed to scheme behind the scenes? That was kinda the purpose of the game, I hoped anyway.
Any advice on how to improve this game?
Warmaster Horus
09-03-2008, 21:28
Nice game, Shlin. Nice game :yes: Very enjoyable, for me at least :evil:
For a little write-up, first night I investigated Caius (got 4 on random org, and he was the 4th player after me). Second night I investigated FH (I think; don't quite remember...). Since Caius was inactive during the first day, I hoped to pin the absence of kills on him. Third night I tried to get him myself, since he was active again and he was the Guard, but I was blocked! Gah!
Good game, though.

shlin: Quite a bit of scheming. QJC, ED and myself were a little group, so we knew who attacked QJC night 3, because ED blocked WH and I protected QJC.
The investigative ability of the spy was a very nice touch.
It actually begun as a simple game with one King, one Guard, one Spy and 4 townies.
But then I thought the townie side is overpowered, so I added the investigate ability to the spy.
Then I thought the spy was overpowered, and so added the detective and the doctor.
And then I thought the mafia side is too weak, so I added a sympathiser.
And then I added a blocker to balance it out...
:sweatdrop:

I think the more people have a role, the more interesting the game gets because then everyone is involved.

What's the ability of the Doctor (aka Faction Heir)?
I think the more people have a role, the more interesting the game gets because then everyone is involved.
Exactly, it keeps everyone involved, alot of the resent mini mafia games are set out like that. Another upside to this is that everyone's PM is different so it's harder for town to root out the mafia by the age old simple PM quoting.
FactionHeir
09-03-2008, 22:38
You mean the PM quoting that almost got you killed last time? :tongue2:
My ability was to protect people. What else would I be doing?
Quintus.JC

Which game? If it's Lunar Whale you're talking about then I'm full of regrets, if it's Proscription you're talking about then it's spot on, I doubt you lot could of got me if I could easily faked my PM.
My ability was to protect people. What else would I be doing?
I was thinking of resserrecting dead people.

Huh? Which one of them had the ability of releasing people who got locked up in the brig?
Lord Winter
09-04-2008, 00:39
I did but since I got unlucky on N1 I never had the chance to use it.
FactionHeir
09-04-2008, 01:14
I got his key but I never got him to reply to any of my PMs so I kept him locked in.
Well, I won't say I told you so... or maybe I will. :laugh4:
In any case, it was a good game, shlin. Nice job! And I just knew it would be you all along, WH...
:laugh4:
I'll win the next one! You'll see!

Great hosting Shin :2thumbsup:
Sorry about that guys. I had to pick one and I picked wrong. Although to be honest I would have probably asked for Caius to be lynched!!! (double oops)
Could I have gotten it any more wrong?
Good game though guys and well played WH.
