Resident Evil: Omega [Concluded]

[atheotes]

grrr... never saw that one coming
Congrats YLC
great game everyone and excellent write-ups ATPG.

@ ATPG - what would have happened if we didnt lynch beefy?

[Diana Abnoba]

Great game Pizza, I liked that players can still be active in the game after being killed. Great story line, congrats YLC, on 1st place. Special thanks to members of the zombie family, working together on this was fun. Good work everyone, it was a blast.

[ULC]

I am surprised I have won - was it not obvious whom I was once you saw the plethora of items I obtained, the RPG, the ability to survive repeated zombie attacks? I even tried hinting I was the agent for fun - or did you all just assume from the opening write-up that the agent was a man

[Splitpersonality]

I almost helped you win town, gosh darnit!

Great game, lots of fun ATPG.

I am in for all of your future games, EVER.


Also, the axe man wasn't evil, he just wanted to kill everyone!

Loved my role so much.

@ ATPG - what would have happened if we didnt lynch beefy?

Hmmm....

If you had lynched, say, Tratorix instead... you would have gotten points for lynching the Tyrant Host, Tratorix would have failed his only mission, and YLC would not have gotten a "free" escape while the horde was focused on the town and the Tyrant. It would have been harder for YLC to win, and impossible for Tratorix to win. However, the town's best chance at victory was an all-out assault on the zombies as soon as the Axe murderer was killed and they had enough weapons. At that point, the horde would have been incapacitated for 24 hours and escape would have been much simpler for everyone. I admit it was not immediately obvious that was the way to go, however the options attack the horde and escape were both necessary for a townie win. Logically one should attack the horde and then escape.

The serial killer would have done better if he had gotten all of the main targets... then if he turned into a zombie it wouldn't have really affected his victory condition. He didn't care about killing the Agent, which the zombies were more concerned with. Admittedly survival for the serial killer seemed impossible, but... if the Agent had created the Tyrant, it was entirely possible that the town would be mostly annihilated by the Tyrant and the zombies... and it was indeed possible that the Axe Murderer could have continued killing the remaining townies at night while the Tyrant destroyed anyone during the day that voted for him, as well as an additional kill.

The Agent had a difficult mission, a risky one... she had to stick around until she found the Tyrant Host, which could easily have been killed off (Split nearly did one night, changed his mind) or grabbed by the zombies (nearly happened a couple times). Failing to create the Tyrant was something that she had little control over. Much of her victory condition demanded that the townies and the zombies both missed the target completely.

I think all sides were pretty balanced. The zombies would have done better if they had killed the Tyrant Host, then the agent.

[Tratorix]

I'm a huge, nigh unkillable monster... yay? Oh well, I win anyway. Thought I probably had a role like this, since my one goal was to not die...

[Askthepizzaguy]

You did well, foraging and everything... participating enough. You would have been a normal and useful townie if the Agent had died or escaped.

[Khazaar]

Hmm, to me the setup seemed to be contra town. Too many options and unclear victory conditions, the possibility to flee severly hurt the rest of the town. Also SK, Agent, Zombies against town that hurt itself doesn´t seem balanced, but since this is a horror scenario it´s OK. A few townies survived and the story can continue, just like resident evil...

The town needed to lynch the SK. After that, they needed to escape, and the town was very close to doing so. It was simply a matter of being organized and having a clear will to do so. But that is the flaw of every single townie group. It's no different in any other mafia game where the town greatly outnumbers the anti-townies, but they have no unity.

Admittedly I left a couple things vague, but many people had the right idea: you needed to escape to win. It was just a matter of making sure the horde was disabled before you did so.

Apologies to anyone if that made it harder on the town. Any Resident Evil game I host will be difficult for the town to win outright, and the difficulty and tension was designed to make every player feel totally doomed, though victory was absolutely possible and they were close to it. It's part of the ambience of the game to feel lost and vulnerable.

I think the fact that two townies escaped, and the town got beefy enough to damage the horde and some were planning to do so, is a testament to how close you came. Well played... just not quite enough.

[Beskar]

Admittedly, I thought YLC was agent early on (same way I did with Ichigo in Swords of the Moon), but I suffered "I got deaded first round so screw this" syndrome (especially when "discussing with pevergreen" = "getting ignored, receiving random nonsense and he did his own thing") other than a couple of posts where I posted just for fun.

Congratulations though, you did good.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

then why did my win condition say to try and stick around? I assumed that the town could win through means other than escaping..... it was still a great game though, win condition or not.

Politician (townie)

You're State Senator Houston Whitmore, and you're the representative of the entire logging community here in Fair Haven, on the outskirts of Raccoon City. As a State Senator, you were made fully aware of the situation at Raccoon City, and you fully expect that any survivors from that outbreak of the T-Virus would make their way here.

Tratorix- Cleveland King

Line Cook (townie)

You work for a local restaurant that serves greasy hamburgers, and more than anything else, you wish you could get out of this backwater burg, and do something exciting with your life. But that seems to be a pipe dream. For now, you're poor and you have no way out of this sleepy little town. You wish something exciting would happen. In your free time you like to hunt and also play paintball in the woods with your friends, so you're pretty fair in a fire fight. It just so happens you're carrying some ammo on you.

Death is Yonder- Independence Cunningham

Pharmacist (townie)

You're Indy Cunningham, the local pharmacist in the sleepy town of Fair Haven. Until recently, you've enjoyed the quiet life in a mountain town deep in the forests on the outskirts of Raccoon City. However, you've heard folks talk about some kind of viral outbreak. Obviously your services as a pharmacist will be needed.

Special Ability: Locate Herbs

Your chance of finding healing items is higher than the others, and you can identify various plants easily and mix herbs very well. You also happen to be carrying some first aid.

YLC- Kansas C. Smith

Umbrella Agent (neutral)

You have no interest in this pathetic little backwater town. Your only interest is in testing out the new virus prototype on a compatible specimen and make note of the results. Then you need to get the hell out of there! Fortunately you came armed and dangerous. You even dispatched that pesky FBI agent who was following you. Sucks to be him.

Special Ability: DNA decoder
You can search for a compatible specimen to infect with the highly experimental Omega virus. If you find the correct person, you infect them automatically. This is done during the night phase. During the day, you can also forage for additional supplies. Just be careful out there...

Base Stats:

Offense: 0 (plus handgun: 2)
Defense: 5
Forage: 5
Escape: 2

Item Slots: 6

Items:

handgun (with silencer) (+2 offense)

1. Locate the specimen and infect them, make note of the results
2. Destroy the town
3. Escape with your life

Your mission may change under unusual circumstances. You could end up becoming a townie, or a full fledged mafioso who does not wish to escape...

If the specimen dies or you otherwise fail to infect the specimen, escape from the village and you will be awarded a partial victory. Just don't expect to find work with the Umbrella corporation anymore.

A Very Super Market- John Dover

Raccoon City Survivor (townie)

However, you think you're being followed by the Umbrella Agent, and you've decided to go with the alias "John Dover" to avoid being detected. You're hiding in a logging village close to the Canadian border, and you're posing as one of the villagers. You claim your occupation is "social worker" if someone asks.

The experience from Raccoon City has made you tough and experienced. You have slightly better defense and foraging ability than the basic villager, and more item slots. You're also carrying some useful handgun ammo!

atheotes- Mary Baltimore

Waitress (townie)

You work for tips at a greasy hamburger restaurant in the middle of the mountains. This job is boring, man. And the only people you ever seem to meet are local people... until recently, when the nearby Raccoon City experienced the viral outbreak. Now you've noticed some faces that are unfamiliar to you. You don't have any experience dealing with survival situations, so you're feeling quite vulnerable. It may be a good idea to stay close to the group.

Special Ability: Persuade

You can change one player's vote once every other day phase, starting with the second day phase. Why? Because you're so pretty.

Khazaar- Claude Jacksonville

Police Inspector (townie detective)

Diana Abnoba- Toby Madison

Horse Rancher (townie)

You live on a ranch just outside of Fair Haven, where you raise horses. You're fairly familiar with the surrounding area, but until you went to town and talked with the locals, you had no idea there was a viral outbreak in Raccoon City, the nearest urban center to Fair Haven. But your skills as an outdoorsman may come in handy. You also carry a rifle, which might be useful. Unfortunately you have no ammo and there's none in town...

Special Abilities- none really... just some extra foraging and escape ability.

Splitpersonality- George Townshend

Axe Murderer (serial killer)

You're the psychopath who just snapped when you caught a little bit of the T-virus. You were unusually resistant to the virus, but it infected your mind and turned you into an unfeeling killer. You're not completely crazy, but you do want to hack people to bits. During the day you act completely normal... but at night there is no sunlight... and that's when you get that crazy look in your red bloodshot eyes... and people end up getting hacked to bits.

You relish in their deaths. Kill them all....

Special Ability: Axe Murder
In addition to your regularly scheduled "townie"-eque abilities like foraging, manning the guard post, and otherwise behaving like an ordinary citizen, at night you go completely insane and you have to kill some stupid fool. Bwahahaa!

White_Eyes: Daniel Nashville

Country Singer (townie)


You're Danny Nashville, and you fancy yourself a Country Music Star! Yeeeeeehawwww!!!! It's a darn tootin' shame you cain't just sing those pesky little zombies away... my lord, the crooning you do would make them head for the hills quicker'n a fox eating a jackrabbit. Well slap my knee and call me a varmint.

But you will become absolutely FAMOUS (and rootin' tootin' stinkin' rich) if you can help these cowpokes destroy them zombie lookin' things.

Beskar- Albany Johanssen

Actress (townie)

You're a glamorous actress indeed... how did you end up in a nameless little backwater town like Fair Haven? No matter... You've got to get out of here for several reasons. One, it's dreary and depressing. Two, there are no shopping malls. Three, your cell phone reception is terrible. Four, there's like zombies and stuff.

Totally bummer, right?

Special Abilities: Looking glamorous even in this rat hole.

Base Stats:

Glamour: 9
Offense: 0
Defense: 1
Forage: 1 (yick! What's foraging?)

Mission Objective: Totally win best Oscar by defeating all the mean-looking zombies and stuff. Or you could majorly just book it out of there and hope you don't get eaten. A star like you? Oh they would just eat you ALIVE. Creepy locals. Gross!

pevergreen- Reginald St. Louis

Plague Demon (Louis Transformation)- Zombie Leader


So close, and yet so far. You found the Umbrella Agent but the suspect killed you. Your body was infected by parasites from the birds circling above... who started to eat your body before it began to rot.

Now, your body is under the control of the Las Plagas... the birds from Raccoon city must have been infested with them and they migrated away when there were no more bodies to pick clean. Now you, like Toyoda Guzman before you, are transformed by hunger and hatred... and desire... and that is all that is left of you. Your body craves human flesh... because the Plague parasites inside your body have taken hold of your mind... and now you have an overpowering urge to find other human beings and spread the organisms to other host bodies, and also... to eat.

Attack- 5
Defense- 5
Forage- 1
Escape- 1

HP- N/A (you're dead)

Items- N/A (zombies don't use items)

Mission Objective: Feed on the humans and spread your brethren.

You can turn the dead into regular zombies, who then join the Zombie Horde.

You can communicate with the other zombies via PM or with a quicktopic. For now you're the only zombie.

You can stage an attack on the town during the day and also at night. During the day, the townies must have a sufficient number manning the guard post or else you will be able to break inside and eat them. During the day, you can only eat one.

At night it will be more difficult to get at them, because all of the townies will be inside manning the barricade, unless they get brave and try to fight you or escape.

If you break through the barricade at night, and the townies fail to stop the assault, you destroy them ALL.

Turn all the living into zombies, or break through the barricade and eat all the humans inside. Those are your mission objectives.

You will be slightly more powerful at night. But not by much.


Roleplaying:

Feel free to act like a zombie. Just don't spam the thread too much...


Day Actions:

Attack someone foraging (choose who to attack)
Attack the Guard post (choose who to attack)

Night Actions:

Attack the Barricade (attacks everyone)

You can of course choose to abstain from attacking. Nothing will kill you, so don't be shy.

When people died they got a standard zombie role PM. Most of the zombies had a base stat of 2 attack and 4 defense. By the very end I was late to send them out to a couple players but the game was basically over anyway, and all actions went through pevergreen or whatever player was sending me actions.
