Mini Theme 1588 - FTL: Faster Than Light - Game Over!

[Albert B. Rampage]

This confirms my suspicions.

Unvote, vote Espressojet

[Albert B. Rampage]

I give it 50% it's Espressojet, 50% it's Reck.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Come to think of it, Espressojet came down hard on me after I started locking on to Jargonaut on Day 2. This makes sense.

[Juls]

Why reck abr?

[Paschendale]

Assuming Espresso flips town and we don't win today, thoughts on vig target?

[Juls]

I think it's gotta be Venmar for sheer laziness. I can't read what's not here. If you feel I am scum though, shoot me cause I don't want to have to deal with being in lylo, either I will fuck it up or the other townie will fuck it up and vote me.

[hitogoroshi]

Also it's pretty weird that Pasch isn't immune to fire.

Do you think a scumkill immune unlimited town vigilante is a balanced role?

Not at all. But I also don't think a Lanius being killed by fire makes any sense. This could be Bella just diverging from canon, of course, but a vigilante is one of the easiest things to justify in the FTL universe (an Engi with an Anti-Personnel Drone, Hacking the Medbay, any race as a combatant, etc.) so I don't see why Bella would make a game with a subsystem involving fire and people being immune to fire, and then have a race that de-oxygeniates the room as a character who dies to fire. I'm not going to call Pasch certain scum based on flavor spec, but I definitely want to look more in to it. Especially since his reasoning for killing Bellisarus is quite confusing - I'm fairly sure multiple players in-thread commented that Rockmen are immune to fire, so Pasch's "If only I knew then what I know now!" feels artificial. But I don't have a cohesive theory to explain the ambiguity - just a feeling that something is off. And I want to get to the bottom of this before night in case I'm killed tonight.

[Paschendale]

The Rockman thing, as far as I could tell, was an explicit reference to a past game that I was not in. I had no idea what the fuck he was talking about with that.

The Rockman thing, as far as I could tell, was an explicit reference to a past game that I was not in. I had no idea what the fuck he was talking about with that.

But I am? What is your vote based off of exactly? Me wanting to know what Belisarius has on a SK? All I see is that Anatole was burned to a crisp (maybe the doings of a rockman), only reason i'd suspect an Arsonist, and weak one at that.

Arsonist found. I just ISO'd myself to confirm that I never told anyone I was a rock man. So how the crispy crunchy Christ did you know that?

Scum first though.

LOL WHAT? I WAS USING MY FUCKING GAME KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME THAT ROCKMEN ARE IMMUNE TO FIRE? ITS WHAT A PERSON HANDLING FIRE I IMAGINED TO BE

(Notice I never implied anyone in particular was a Rockman, and that I was implying the Arsonist themselves would logically be a Rockman)

Here's my opinion on the whole third party thing.

Whomever is the rockman is just a semi-bulletproof townie who is immune to fire attacks. This would lead us to believe that there is an arsonist, and thusly a third party. Beli confirmed semi-bulletproof townie.

now that that's done, can we lynch ABR yet?

Arsonist found. I just ISO'd myself to confirm that I never told anyone I was a rock man. So how the crispy crunchy Christ did you know that?

I knew it the instant you claimed, it's not like it's a huge leap of logic that the person who fights the person who does fires would be the kind of person who is immune to fire in the thing that this is.

[Venmar]

If you guys cannot summon the willpower to trust me then I guess you can shoot me, it's just i'll flip town.

[Juls]

Hito, Pasch, Venmar, comments on espresso's PM?

[hitogoroshi]

It's different from mine, but so was ABR's and he's town. I think Bella just wasn't that precise and consistent making her PMs? The fact that it doesn't modify the name is a lot more worrying, but I don't think it's a slam dunk. It's a point against Espresso for sure, but if I can be brutally honest - if Pasch is telling the truth AND Espresso is the last scum, I'm sure we win the game no matter what happens today, so right now I'm more interesting in sticking to my guns here.

[Juls]

Aside from the flavor, ABRs was identical to my own.

[xRECKONERx]

Hito, I don't like this posturing. What are you getting at, here?

[Venmar]

I think Espresso wouldn't be a Federation Ensign if he's Bulletproof. He would have a different name than that, like Security Officer or Guard, I don't know, but this PM doesn't fit.

[Venmar]

Flavour wise, the difference between a random researcher or crewmember and a guy with a heavy vest would be noticeable I think to the point of having your own role name.

Notice how Belisarius also had a protective and passive modifier like Espresso, and he was a Fireproof Federation Ensign, not Ferederation Ensign

[Juls]

Yeah I am hoping this game is over. Would be nice if espresso could come in and weigh in. I'd be super excited if this was a perfect victory

[xRECKONERx]

Espresso just fucked up his role PM, please continue with the lynch, thank you.

[Juls]

Is he not already lynched?

[xRECKONERx]

Oh, hm, hopefully!

The Crystal crewman did not take the results of the vote well. He protested his innocence all the way to the airlock. When you finally wrestled him in and locked the door, he kept banging on it, screaming that you've got the wrong man. As you hit the button to eject him he made one final, desperate play, locking down the room to buy himself more time to plea for mercy. His pleas went unanswered, the crystal shards that sealed the room fell away, and his body was sucked lifelessly into space. You checked out his quarters, hoping to find proof of his guilt. But none was to be found, and you eventually realize you killed an innocent man

Espressojet,

Combat-proof Federation Ensign

, ejected into space on Day Three

[Bella]

The morning comes, and the crew assembles for orders. There's only one problem: where's your captain? After waiting a while, you decide to check on him. You stand outside his locked door, and bicker for a while about who gets to knock on it because you all sure as hell don't wanna be stuck on latrine duty. I mean, it is taco night. The argument is settled when someone points out the flashing oxygen warning night. Resigned to what you'll find, you repressurize and open the door. Inside, you find the half-charred corpse of your captain. A medical examination reveals that he died of asphyxiation while in the process of burning to death.
