Stairway to Heaven

Anyway, didn't intend to moan about anything after the game. I lost, but winning comes... I don't know where on my list of priorities in a game. Let's see.

1. Fun, and good banter with the other players and host. Check
2. Good teamwork with any team you are in. Check
3. Consistently high quality hosting. Check (This game is a good example of what sets the like of Zack and Askthepizzaguy apart as great hosts, personalising the writeups and making players feel a part of it as themselves rather than just a role).
4. Messing with people's head. Double check.
5. A nailbiting finish. Check.
6. Kill Double A night one. The one black mark on the game...
7. Oh, here we are. Winning. Boo!

Are you going to post the night actions, specifically on what nights the cult tried to recruit people?

Agreed.
 
Yay! I pulled it off! When the cult was eliminated (earlier than I expected) and there were 12 or so players left, I was pretty worried about my longevity.

Another great game by Zack. I must say I really enjoy your games when I am scum. :D

Here are some thoughts about certain comments made recently:

Ah. BSmith's lack of discussion is also pinging me.

Dead townies, what do you think of BSmith?

My lack of discussion was really due more to me not being on a computer at all this weekend, and having to keep up on my phone. I don’t really post much more than necessary when I don’t have time like that, and frankly it wasn’t really necessary for me to post more than I did.

Well played, BSmith. I have to say, I was leaning towards it being you until Sam started acting incredibly scummy. That ploy on the DaveShack vote was sheer brilliance. I never thought you would ever try something like that if you were mafia.

Although the town sucks for mindlessly going after Martin and Mat like that, just because the cult told you to. Seriously, guys? :p

The DaveShack ploy was more making lemonade out of lemons. I didn’t think out my vote on Martin clearly enough before I made it, and was mainly trying to stay away from the bandwagon that was forming on Dave. I needed a good way to get back on the right side of that lynch, so I timed the vote to be critical for the lynch, showing that I was indeed not cult. I didn’t know if Dave was cult at that time, so I was really hoping that was the way it worked out. I pretty much pulled the reason for my Martin vote out of my you-know-where.

I was still trying to get town cred with the Buddha lynch, and didn’t realize he was the last one. I had scanned him as cult the night before, but of course couldn’t just come out and say that so I put the case together and successfully led the lynch. I never would have done that if I knew he was the last one at that stage in the game. I would have just killed him a couple of nights later and kept scanning for more converts.

I also feel annoyed that Martin got me killed, when I had no votes on me. Oh well.

As you can see from the QT, I was planning on keeping you around to the end. You were acting different than normal for much of this game and I wanted as many suspicious people left with me in the end. Verarde’s surprising attention the day before and Martin’s claim that you were cleared made me change my mind and kill you instead.
 
Epilogue​





Elijah wiped the sweat from his brow, then tucked his handgun away in his belt. He starts making his way towards his home to gather his things before he returns to God's side, as his new right-hand man.

On his way there, he sees a man sitting on a rock with a guitar propped up on his knees. He's strumming the guitar and singing a tune between puffs of his cigarette clenched between his teeth. He takes a break from the guitar and singing each line so he can smoke properly.


:culture: There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold... :culture:


He calls out to Elijah. "Young man, why don't you come over here?"

Elijah smirked. "This is merely a disguise. I'm not actually BSmith1068. I'm the prophet Elijah. I'm thousands of years old."

The man smirks in return. "Like I said, you're a young man."

Puzzled, Elijah sits down in the grass next to him. "Who are you, exactly?"

The man throws his cigarette on the ground and stomps it out with his foot, then strums his guitar.


:culture: And she's buying a stairway to heaven... :culture:


Elijah asks him again, "Hello? Who are you? Are you listening to me?"


:culture: When she gets there she knows, if the stars are all close... :culture:


Elijah mutters under his breath, "I don't have time for this." He pulls out his gun and shoots the man in the forehead. Elijah's eyes go wide in shock. "How.... What the hell?!"


:culture: With a word she can get what she came for. :culture:


Elijah fires again and again, but still to no effect. The bullets simply bounce of off the man's forehead and fall harmlessly to the ground.


:culture: Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. :culture:


Elijah, rattled, begins to walk away.

The man calls out. "Wait, BSmith1068."

"I already told you, I'm not BSmit-"

"Shut up and listen, BSmith."

Elijah grinds his teeth in frustration, but he listens.

The man continues. "Give God a message for me, will you kid? Tell him I'm coming for him."

"...Excuse me?"

"Tell him I'm coming for him. Can you do that for me?"

Elijah looked at him nervously. "Tell him who is coming?"

The man smiled. "Tell him z4ckdabeast is coming." He resumed strumming his guitar.


:culture: Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven... :culture:
 
HELL YEAH! This means a third installment of the game!
 
Sorry, but it is a deal you cannot refuse.

No. The Heaven and Hell mechanic has run its course. I'm satisfied with the results of this game.

We've done Heaven, we've done Hell, we could do Purgatory. ;)
 
Yes, Zack writes beautiful updates.
