I had a couple players PM after their deaths with guesses and questions (and for the record - I never answer who the Genestealers are, it's my policy and I stick to it. I will answer most other questions as long as I don't feel they are revealing about any of the mysteries in the game) but I do agree, there was a lot of feeling that DDRE was very likely Genestealer. So you were hardly alone in that thought.

I liked Drk_O's Genestealer play - he is right, he looked so much like a Genestealer no one wanted to waste a vote on him. It was brutally cunning (or is that cunningly brutal?)

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

I was "hiding in the light" so to speak.

**the_ferrett**

I still find the early snipe to be ouch.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

Well, don't completely ignore someone when they say

"No one vote this guy, so he can defend himself"

and try to lynch them. You make it easy for us to gobble you up.

OMN NOM NOM

**Thor665**

I agree it was a rough lynching of you, ferret, but you did do some work to help your lynch along. When you get to the point you're not clearly outlining your thought process people get suspicious of what you're hiding.

Yes, you might have a secret plan that will help catch Genestealers. However, you might be simply saying you have a plan you can't clarify because you're a Genestealer trying to convince people not to lynch you.

Unfortunately on Day 1, when there's not much evidence, ANYTHING that seems even a little suspect can get someone lynched. Also, early in the game it's easier for the Stealer's to gang jump on a vote to help see it through, and fairly early on both Rusty and Drk_O figured you were an easy and safe lynch for them to support and that also helped its momentum and doomed you. I am sorry for a newer player that you were one of the first to go - but that's sadly normal.

**Emperors Faithful**

That's true, and I'm sorry for going straight after you like that.

"Off with his head!"

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

And I had a good reason to do it too

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Thanks for the advice Thor.

I think the quicktopic board could work well. I did several searches using the words 'genestealer' and 'quicktopic' but the closest I got was the quicktopic homepage and to progress further than that one needs an account. So I do believe it would be secure. Then again, if any Imperial player were willing enough to do as such(make an account), I do believe that would be a different matter.

**Mekboy**

Mind you, doing that may be trying a little too hard to win what is just a game.

**SagesStone**

That victory did kind of seem to come out of no where though, that's the best kind

So what would people say about my performance in the game? I know it was a while back, but simple curiosity in order to improve.

**Gornall**

Gah... I was hoping the townies could pull it off. We started strong but kinda lost steam as we went. I was feeling really good about Rusty being the genestealer until DDRE pulled the trigger on Mekboy. At that point, my money was on him. Very good game by all!

I am still moving and switching jobs atm, but should be able to start up a game after the 27th. I'll put up a signup soon. That should give everyone enough time to get good and anxious for the next one.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

In all honesty I felt really bad about offing him. That day was going really slowly, and I actually at that point suspected fifty. However, the day was drawing to a close and no discussion was being had, I thought offing Mekboy would result in you(Gornall) being killed by Fifty in an attempt to make Rusty look guilty. I was quite wrong, but I tried.

I'm on a road trip the 27th through to the 4th. If you're willing to put up with that absence I would love to participate.

I'm also available as a resource for any questions you may have.

**Lord-Loss**

Damn, I want to join Gornall's game but I'm currently in Drk_Oblit's, not sure if I can play in both and not have my head explode.

I think I did good day one and I was pretty busy with RL stuff on day two/three, I was ready to get really back into the game day four.... but I kind of... err died.

I was sure it was Gornall, I hardly suspected Rusty at all.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

apart from breaking the rules how did I do as the inquisitor???
should probably read the rules better next time.

**Thor665**

I think you did great as Inquisitor considering you managed to investigate a Genestealer on Day 2. Your only real big trouble was figuring out how to then express your information to everyone else in a convincing manner (without rule breaking

)

I will say you might have just wanted to try to get Drk_O lynched without you revealing your role right off since as soon as you reveal (unless there's a protection role) the Genestealers are going to kill you. So as soon as you say 'I'm Inquisitor' you have to accept you're a dead man in the night phase. All in all though it was a fine performance.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

So looks like my suspicions of Rusty were correct as was my belief that Dave was indeed not a Genestealer.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

Vulkan, while you did good by discovering me, I would have waited until you were lynched, then be like

"Gah! I have been killed, but I have a twist! As the Inquisitor I discovered that Drk_O, lotg and Rusty are all Genestealers!!!"

Vulkan has been lynched. He was an Inquisitor

Imperial Victory!

**Emperors Faithful**

I don't think you're allowed to actually say anything useful in your 'death post' other than "Oh noez-BLARRGH." So in all honesty, unless that post was done directly before the lynch, then your findings would follow you to the grave.

**Thor665**

Yeah, a good thing to do if you are an Inquisitor who is about to be lynched is to claim shortly prior to that lynch (most Mafia players tend to pause at L-1 to allow such claims prior to hammer). At that point just say "I know I'm dead, but when I flip Inquisitor please kill X and Y since they are scum"

**Vulkan_He'stan**

OK
after I posted the post that killed me I thought Damn
I should have said vote for dark o and if hes a gene stealer Im the inquisitor if not kill me next day

**RustyKnight**

What would have stopped me from Night Killing you?

Anywho, why would they believe you? Why not lynch you an Drk_o next if you were inquisitor. Especially if Drk_o counter-claimed that he was the inquisitor.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

I just thought of something, did anybody make reference to "Welcome to the Jungle"? I find it strange that no one has.

There. TAKE THAT GENESTEALERS!!!
