Papa is scum too, but a cool guy, so let's keep him around for a while for suspense.

I sent you a Syreen smooch, Zito.

I just found all the scum. Damn, I'm good at this game.

Vote: Zito

as he's the linking factor.

[Porkens]

Vote: Merkabah

Please interpret this as a chainsaw defense of Plum, my long lost friend from far ago in the long long away.

I'm making a mental note of this.

[Kast]

Hi all,
-Could everyone share how much they know of the source game? I know a lot of us played the previous game and already have shared that, but it doesn't hurt to share again.
--I downloaded and started playing after the last game, but never actually spent much time playing. I read the wiki and a lot of game guide/resources for flavor cues.

-Given the prevalence of ship-millers and limited/unreliable investigations in the previous game, I am wary of more of the same in this one.

[Plum]

- I still know nothing about the source game except what I picked up in the first iteration of Spy's game-series.

- Why are you talking about Millers/ship-Millers now?

- I don't find that actually scummy and am wondering why my gut does. This time it's really something not formulating itself into even coherent words so I'll save it for a rainy day or something.

[Merkabah]

Don't really know the flavor at all. Judging from the first game, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

[Kast]

@Plum-
The presence of those roles/mechanics in the previous game was greater than what I would have expected. It is plausible that Spyrex would incorporate similar mechanisms into this sequel game. I have a high enough opinion of my expectations that I think it worthwhile to point this out.

OR

You can suspect I'm setting up for a ship-miller claim for myself or a suspected scumbuddy.

OR

You can suspect I'm setting up explanations for future deviations from my normal game play.

Take your pick or come up with your own.

[Papa Zito]

I'm a big SC nerdfan. I know way too much about the game. And almost doomed the town last time because of it.

I agree. That's why I linked to it.

[Plum]

I just don't think it's a profitable line of thought until . . . okay, I guess if people are warned now they might be less likely to reveal themselves with guilty investigations, although in that case it's not like there's any truly right play. It's not that I disagree that there's a very good chance of that being the case, just that I saw no profit from bringing it up now and now I see very little profit in it.

PREVIEW EDIT: I prefer Zito's approach of letting people ingest info > declare stuff openly in thread, but that's more a matter of utility than of your alignment. And was not involved with what affected my gut read on you, either, Kast.

[Gammagooey]

I read over SpyreXs first Star Control game, don't know about Star Control at all aside from that.

[Dry-fit]

Hi all,
-Could everyone share how much they know of the source game? I know a lot of us played the previous game and already have shared that, but it doesn't hurt to share again.

I also downloaded the game but never got very far. I couldn't figure out how to get more fuel . So really I know very little.

vote: Kast

for thinking I was scum last time.

[Porkens]

You can trade crew members for fuel with the Thraddash

[Papa Zito]

You can trade crew members for fuel with the Thraddash

That's the Druuge.

And if you do it too much bad things happen.

Goddammit I'm doing it again.

[Plum]

You can trade crew members for fuel with the Thraddash

How does that work? You put them in a distiller and welp, out comes fuel? Like in Dune where they distill their dead for their water (dangit, if I don't know enough to geek out to Star Control I'll get my fix some other way)?

[Papa Zito]

Oh also I thought you guys should know that Plum is town.

[Porkens]

It's just a straight-up trade, like magic cards or garbage pale kids or whatever.

Zito, do you mean

town

or

town

?

[Papa Zito]

I dunno which color. Just town.

[bouncy.bouncy]

I didn't even know Star Control was a real game. Am I screwed?

[Plum]

Nah; I didn't realize until about this point last game and I did fine.

[Merkabah]

@PZ: How confident are you?

[Papa Zito]

Extremely.

Potshots at Plum will be met with extreme prejudice.

[CF Riot]

garbage pale kids

Trash Can Trolls.

vote: Kast

for thinking I was scum last time.

If it looks like scum, sounds like scum, acts like scum...

[Riceballtail]

Remind me to not go to work while expecting a role PM again! >_>

/confirm

VOTE:Ani

because he kills too many people in the same game.

[cruelty]

vote palpatine. zito.

I know absolutely nothing about the source game and was placed here by virtue of /in nexting. I'll do some research on both the game and the previous game over the weekend so I'm not flying (get it?) blindly.
