Isn't the game just still going because the Dornians could go either way? They are better off with us, but they have to actually commit to it for the game to end.

vote: Skip

[mail-mi]

vote: skip

Let's end this

[Swowl]

I believe that is hammer sauce.

and it cannot be because we can go either way - why the game is still on I mean.

2 skum 1 town 2 dorian
- we lynch town, skum wins
- we lynch skum, skum shoots town, skum wins.

so there actually like... MUST be something else in play.

There is, and now that Skip has been hammered, I'll explain it.

When we have 1 player alive on our team, we have an "initiate" action that allows the scum player to offer another player to change their win condition to ours. They don't get to learn who we are. So if y'all had decided to lunch EFHW or I, we could have initiated skip tonight and he would have won with us if he chose to alter his win condition.

At least, I think that's why the game still goes on.

Ah, interesting. This game has had so many interesting mechanics. I’m going to be sad when it’s over.

YOUR fate is still undetermined.

[EFHW]

I don't know if 2 Dornians 1 scum is a win for scum. We are supposed to control the world.  It seems like you guys would be in control in that situation. Or maybe you aren't part of the world we have to control?

[EFHW]

If Swan is right about scum winning no matter who is lynched,  then I don't think the recruiting power is relevant. Dornians could still die, so the game's results are not fully determined yet.

Survivors definitely should not count.

If there's only one faction alive other than survivors, that means they survived. Even if survivors are majority, the game should end.

[Swowl]

yeah if your win con is to survive/keep anything from preventing it, you could pop one of us off tonight and lynch the other tomorrow.
and I am not lying about our wincon - it is fixed to, in this case, Skum's win con - so assuming you just met your win con, we also met ours, and game should end.

[EFHW]

Well, nothing up our sleeves.

[mail-mi]

Well, nothing up our sleeves.

yup

[WestCoastDidds]

Ash will probably be around in a couple of hours...

Yams, when is the baby due??

[mail-mi]

Yams, when is the baby due??

November 28.

[EFHW]

Yams, when is the baby due??

raerae's baby reminded me of this - Have you ever noticed that other people's pregnancies go by really quickly?

[WestCoastDidds]

Yams, when is the baby due??

I’m so excited for you!! I’ll want your address later to send you a donkey!

Not sure if my wife would like a pet donkey.

Ha! Sometimes! But since April was nine million days long, anything that began in Before Time seems like eons ago. When I met e and his wife in Germany, they we’re expecting but that one took forever. I’m paced to semesters, though, so that’s part of it.

Fair enough. Shipping is a lot on the live ones, too. So, you’ll have to settle for the stuffed animal version. If she comes around on the live one, though, just let me know.

there is this little tiny part of me that believes you know the weight to cost ratio for shipping a live donkey now

Day 6 Final Vote Count:

skip (3): WCD, EFHW, mail-mi

Not Voting (2): DatSwan, skip wooznum

With 5 alive, it took 3 to lynch.

[ashersky]

In the end it was hard to believe.  We had done it, humankind with only the strength of our will and belief in ourselves, had overthrown the Espheni conquerors.  We had help, but that was also our doing, instilling confidence and belief in others.

So there was no surprise when we were our own undoing.  I fought, but I lost, along with the others.  At least there was some humanity left.  They let me have this pencil and paper…

--final diary entry, a cold summer sunset during summer in an abandoned prison cell


skip wooznum was lynched!  They were Anne Glass-Mason, the Surgeon General.  They were human.

[ashersky]

They surveyed the planet from orbit.  If Dornia had tear ducts, they may have shed tears.  As it was, they shared psychic feelings of sadness instead.

We had such high hopes.

At least they helped defeat the Espheni, once and for all.

Yes.  At least.

And yet, this doesn’t feel right.

Nor finished.  Maybe someday, if we return, this planet will be different.

Maybe someday.

The Dornia have departed Earth, having fulfilled their destiny.  DatSwan and WestCoastDidds win!  They were 其の白鳥, a Dornian, and 西海岸ディッズ, Another Dornian.

[ashersky]

On the surface, people walk with heads down, fear on their faces.  The numbers joining the mafia grow, the lawlessness becoming the law of the land.

The old adage holds true, power abhors a vacuum.  One oppressor overthrown, another takes its place.

Is this the only future left for humanity?  Constant struggle and pain?  Why can there be no peace?

The Mafia control the world now, and nothing can stop them.

2.7 (posthumously), EFHW, and mail-mi win!  They were Jimmy Numbers, Tiny, and Boss, respectively.
