Hyper Crab Tank: Feb 10, 2014; The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation

Yami Fenrir posted:

Who did you mark HCT?

Saladscooper and Illusionis, but I don't know what the mark does either. We seem to be literal mirror images of each other.

If you don't want to full claim, can you confirm that you didn't mark any of MSRR's marks? Because this is really starting to sound like you're gathering allies.

Oh, and Cloaca, I jailed you last night. Sorry. I got the jail from shwinn after he jailed me N1 and I thought you were scummy.

Wait, last night? My action succeeded, I was only jailed on N1 and N2.

Imagine me, I didn't start with a single ability! I just got the jail after shwinn jailed me.

I think we should vote Idle Amalgam. By process of elimination, he's a very likely target because he's unaccounted for last night, he has been on all the mislunch wagons, and initiated several of them.

Worth noting: HCT and I awaken if we Investigate each other, or if the other dies.

Not sure exactly how everybody wants to work that into the meta, but probably a good idea to keep in mind.

Well, I explained that I am in fact a pacifist and ahve been the whole game. I was a fanatic pacifist until last night when I shifted to xenophile from xenophobe.

I don't know what's going on right now with these materialist rivals or w.e., but like I said, town has probably lost unfortunately. I think this game is between 3p and scum at this point and there must be some conflict in their win cons.

From a general point of view, I kind of want to see what happens if you awaken. From a bystander point of view, I'm not sure I should be in the same galaxy when it does happen.

This is not how ethic shifting works!

ObamaAkbar. posted:

Shifting from 1 fanatic and 1 regular ethic

Scenario 1 - Shifting towards your non fanatic ethic. You regular ethic becomes fanatic and your original fanatic ethic is downgraded to the regular variant.
e.g fanatic materialist, pacifist �> shift pacifist �> materialist, fanatic pacifist

Scenario 2 - Shifting towards an ethic rivalling one of your current ethics. Your new ethic will replace the rival one. If the original ethic was fanatic then your second original ethic gets a free upgrade to fanatic.
e.g fanatic materialist, pacifist �> shift spiritualist �> spiritualist, fanatic pacifist

Scenario 3 - Shifting towards an ethic not rivalling any of your current ethics. The new ethic will be adopted and your fanatic ethic will be downgraded to the regular variant.
e.g fanatic materialist, pacifist �> shift egalitarian�> materialist, pacifist, egalitarian

If you were really fanatic pacifist + xenophobe and shifted towards xenophile, you would be fanatic pacifist + xenophile today.

The following day a huge coalition fleet immediately began sweeping the remaining free empires. Emboldened by their so far flawless campaign they now looked to strike the final killing blows.

Hyper Crab Tank, Evandari Watchers (Self-aligned) and
Illusionis, Keerim Imperium (Town-aligned) have been destroyed Day 3.

quote:

Evandari Watchers (Self-aligned).

You are a Fallen Empire. The stagnant remains of an ancient and once powerful galactic civilisation.

Due to the stagnant nature of your government you have only one fanatic ethic and cannot ethic shift.

Your win condition is currently hidden.

Starting Ethics
Fanatic Materialist: Your empire believes that your race's future is to transcend biology and integrate with technology. Heavy investment in research allows you to reverse engineer other empires' tech.

Personality
Keepers of Knowledge: Your empire dedicates itself to the hoarding of advanced technologies and believes the lesser races are too irresponsible to obtain them. You are currently engaged in a Cold War with your bitter rival the Hiffnar Archivists.

Each night as free actions you may do the following 2 things:
-Mark one player as part of your future sphere of influence.
-Investigate one player to determine if they are your rival.

If you successful discover your rival, are yourself discovered or your rival dies you will awaken, changing your personality and revealing your win condition.

You cannot ethic shift or lose this personality.

quote:

Keerim Imperium (Town-aligned).

Your empire is ruled by a monarch who engages in regular ritualistic sacrifice.

You win when all threats to Town are eliminated.

Starting Ethics
Xenophile: Your empire believes in cooperation with other alien races.
Militarist: Your empire's martial prowess and large fleet makes you a formidable military force.
Spiritualist: Your empire is built around a strong spiritual base. Your population's latent psionic abilities allows you to interfere with the actions of other empires.

Personality
Evangelising Zealots: Your empire believes in spreading your faith throughout the galaxy, by force if necessary.

Each night you may do one of the following free actions:
-Target one player to infiltrate with your missionaries, ethic shifting them towards spiritualist.
-Empowerer (make target�s actions unblockable) or roleblock all infiltrated players that still hold spiritualist ethics. This is a remote action.

Linked ethics: Militarist, Spiritualist

Tired Moritz, Reshethi Technocracy (Town-aligned) has been endgamed.

Each night you have a chance to passively gain a rare and powerful artefact. Your chance to succeed begins at 25% and will increase by 10% each night as the game progresses. You may only gain 1 artefact per game.

Linked ethics: Materialist, Xenophile

Yami Fenrir, Mandasura Cartel (Scum-aligned),

Each night as a free action you may choose one player to steal a random one shot ability from.

Meanwhile, in the more isolated sectors of the galaxy, the great decedent and ancient empires return to their slumber. Safe in the knowledge their supremacy has not been challenged.

As I said in scumchat, I legit thought Green Wing was a SK because there is just so much killing power. The Fallen Empire idea sounds really cool though.

Scum probably had too easy of an access to extra votes/started with too many, is what I'd say.
