Cultural Revolution is Over!

[Lowell]

Well damn. Good job I guess. Sorry town.

[Machiavellian-Mafia]

*high fives scum buddy*

Way to go Twomz! you survived quite a few days and nights by yourself, very impressive

[Twomz]

Eh, I only get lynched if i'm town or there's no other possible choice. I've always wondered why... (the other (2) games that i've been scum i was lynched because everyone else was more cleared than me (i was gfer w/ innocent investigation on me) and nked (both my other partners were newbs and got lynched fast, i was actually hoping to throw both of them under the bus, because i'd get a second kill in a couple of nights....)

Oh well, w/e. So that brings my tally up to... 2 times starting scum, 1 time recruited to scum, and 1 time was recruit, but didn't get recruited . (out of... 30-40 games)

[Hop Shui]

The Maoists won!

O Mao, Great Red Sun of our hearts, you are victorious!

More coming in a few hours...

[Coron]

*slams head on desk* once again. You guys fuck up. And before I die I give you a thing that shows you who the scum are. This time my vote.

Phail.

I admit I couldn't help being lynched dispite my Hella good voting record(which somewhat suprises me, I guess town messed that one up too...)

Seriously guys, we had this game so frickin won it's not funny.

I don't think your lynch was stupid. (Although in retrospect I should have pushed more on Twomz that day.)

I do think the BJ lynch was incredibly dumb, and I think that Lowell was way too hasty with his vote in a lynch or lose situation.

[Glork]

Five days, five scumlynches, and I led three of them almost singlehandedly.... yet the wrong result, once again.


I'd really like to see the setup on this one. I'm aware that the Maoists had some recruiting troubles, but the fact that the recruited Vigilante got to keep his killing ability really bothered me... especially conisdering there were TWO recruiters in the game. The town lynched 7 scum and had 5 mislynches... and yet they lost? I'm very, very interested to know how the rules/mechanics worked out, because I felt that the town was at a distinct disadvantage.

[Coron]

No, my defence was pretty solid. I made some reasonable accusations of Twomz and set my vote there. You guys lynched me on the misewell principle I guess, because we totally had the game won.

Then you guys went on and lynched the practically-confirmed BJ. I really do not know what was thought there. If you could fill me in it would be apreciated.

[Twomz]

Yeah, and i didn't even vote for him, that was ALL the town.

I didn't expect this to go on for as long as it did, and i especially didn't expect to win w/ NINE MASONS (majorly overpowered town ).

Why did y'all lynch BJ again? I was hoping for a vismajor lynch yesterday, then pushing for BJ today... but I got the opposite... hm.

The town played well at the beginning... but I think the game was just so large that people didn't give it enough attention, so mistakes were made at the end (although i said otherwise, this was what i was hoping for in the end... and to some extent... it worked).

[Glork]

Overpowered? ...not when three of the masons (one in each group) were recruitable. Even if one is recruited, that means Recruit + Lynch the Recruit is effectively a mislynch. Scum were still getting 2 kills/night until the Converted-Vig (which I really can't get over) was lynched.

[Yosarian2]

Yeah, honestly, if anything, i think the scum was overpowered. After several scum mistakes, including mine, the town lynched one of us almost every single day for quite a while. It required a lot of skill for Twomz to come back and win after all that, he played very well, but honestly, it was only possible for us scum to get that many of us lynched that early and still win becuase our kill/recruit powers were kind of crazy.

[mystery meat of doom]

Boo to the last day. On a happy note I did block the backup SK on his first night.

[Tamuz]

I want to know why Pooky never talked to me at night which led to my questioning of his legitimacy.

[mystery meat of doom]

We should've won on this day. Apparently Vismaior managed to clear himself.

[Thok]

Yeah, honestly, if anything, i think the scum was overpowered. After several scum mistakes, including mine, the town lynched one of us almost every single day for quite a while. It required a lot of skill for Twomz to come back and win after all that, he played very well, but honestly, it was only possible for us scum to get that many of us lynched that early and still win becuase our kill/recruit powers were kind of crazy.

Given the theme, I don't mind that this game is unbalanced. I mean, it's not like the Cultural Revolution should be anything but a violent bloodbath.

[VisMaior]

Lowell, next time, please READ. And, I prooved that Im innocent. just read the post again! Better luck next time.

[VisMaior]

Ok seiously, was there a fault in my logic where i prooved myself? Or did you just not read it at all?

[VisMaior]

There is this ambivalent feeling, I feel like I want to rant, RANT!, OTOH I want to be nice to a newbie person who just lost me another game. im going to explode!

[VisMaior]

I think I need a break from MS.

[Machiavellian-Mafia]

with all the propaganda, brainwahing, etc. I think it makes sense that some people will be recruited and still have their powers like what happened with me being a scum vig.

Maoists and other scum:

malker - Mao Zedong, SK

You are . You are a self-indulgent, paranoid despot only concerned with your own power and glory. You like good food, plenty of women, and care not about how many peasants died yesterday or will die tomorrow.

At night, the Maoists are free to speak to you and plot ways to purge the People of anti-Mao elements, real or imagined. HOWEVER, you are never to speak to anyone at night. You will not reply.

You are immune to investigations. You will turn up innocent.

You are the Serial Killer. You win if you are the last man standing.

As the architect of Mao's personality cult, you can invite someone to join the Red Guards every night.

You will not know whether they accept or refuse.

You are a Recruiter. Every night, each Red Guard will send in a name, which is a suggestion of which player to kill that night. The Maoists must select one, and only one, of the names. That player will be killed that night.

SOS - Yunan Red Guard Recruiter

You are Nie Yanzi, famous writer of "big character posters" firing up the

At night, the Maoists are free to speak to each other and plot ways to purge the People of anti-Mao elements, real or imagined.

If Mao dies before you, you will become a Serial Killer. You will win if you are the last woman standing.

Yosarian2 - Maoist - Doctor

You are Mao's trusted doctor. At night, you may administer medicine that
protects Mao or one of his cronies against the lynching furor of the People.

At night, the Maoists are free to speak to each other and plot ways to purge the People of anti-Mao elements, real or imagined.

Every night you can protect one Maoist from a night-kill.

You actually didn't like Mao at all, you later wrote a book about your experiences. Therefore, you are immune to investigations. You will turn up innocent.

[Hop Shui]

The recruits:

Fritzler - Sends messages at night.

You are Wi Wu. You were studying Foreign Languages at Beijing University when all classes were cancelled, and you were re-located to the poorest countryside for re-education. You are living with peasants that don't trust you, anymore than you trust them. They have no
food themselves, they are starving, and they deeply resent having another mouth to fed forced upon them when there is no rice for their own children, thanks to Mao's disastrous agricultural policies. As a result, the peasant punish you by forcing you to carry buckets of manure to
the field until you just about die of exhaustion.

You have been assigned to carry buckets of manure. Every night, you may select someone to receive a bucket of manure.
You can hide a short message of 10 words of less for the recipient.

Machiavellian-Mafia/TSAGod - Co-Vig Miller

Once Mao's #2 man, you are deeply troubled by the famine that his crazy
ideas have imposed upon the People. You saw the horrific sufferings that he helped create, and you had to find a way to stop him. You understand the deep hatred of the People for the Maoists. You once sobbed publicly as you apologized to villagers.

You were once supposed to give a speech praising Mao, a speech he himself had approved of. However, you took him by surprise, and read a speech that was critical of him.

As a sworn, public ennemy of Mao, you will turn up guilty if investigated.

At night, you may conspire with your wife to select someone to eliminate, as a revenge for the ordeal Mao put your through.

If you are investigated, you will come up guilty, because the Maoist have fabricated false evidence against you.

Twomz - Peasant

You are a Peasant.
