Yup! Sorry I didn't get hear sooner; I've been out and about most of the day. But yeah, Edge, you got it; we can communicate together through this channel, separately from the rest of the game. And if I die, you die (And vice versa). I'm 100% sincere in my last post, though; Terrabyte's the only one who seems off to me, and even then, he can easily be a "good role, own agenda" player, so I see no need to act. The other players seem hostile, but it seems to be because of their playstyles. Anyway, just letting you know I'm alive. Let me know if there's anything that seems off to you.

TB seemed off to me right from the get go. Also, I voted for you so that people would think I'd do anything. There won't be a single glance in our direction that we are doing something until we actually have to do anything. I was interested in something so I asked MattyG. He says that if you are killed by the Hurts at night then I will be killed, but if you're detained I don't die. Vice versa. I have a lot of suspicions right now but I'm going to post them in main thread! Its only the first day and its getting crazy.

That works for me! Also, I'm not going to lie, Lord of Castamere was being pretty suspicious. He was trying to coerce Swamped into revealing her role, asking her what she's good for; revealing one's role/ability basically just sets them up as a target for the Hutts. It's a little early to bring it up publicly, but as a heads up, I don't trust him.

You know I actually had a very similar feeling about him yesterday. I forgot what it was but I felt he was trying so hard to get information that the rebels wouldn't exactly need to know. I'll look back into his posts and check it out but I'm really suspicious about: CzarTim, Barrylocke, and Exmachina
7
Edge
05-18-2015
07:43 AM ET (US)
Exmachina specifically. He voted for me because I was asking and trying to get information stating that he would rather vote someone being very verbal rather than someone who is stationary and not posting much at all. If I were in his shoes wouldn't I want someone verbal against someone who didn't contribute to the conversation?
8
Zubz
05-18-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
Yeah, they could just be bloodthirsty, but I'll admit, it seems more rabid than anything. Lord of Castamere's strategy, plus his know-how, has me as my least trusted member. Out of curiosity, though, why do you distrust Tim so much? Exmachina's accusation is pretty weird, too. I'd assume there's only 1 or 2 Hutts, and that most of this is just generally aggressive players. However, didn't someone once say that only Sith speak in absolutes?

Edge

I started talking a whole lot early on in the game and came up with some suspicions. He then voted me for being to verbal...if he's a rebel he would want me to be verbal. I don't know it just seemed...off.
10
Zubz
05-18-2015
03:19 PM ET (US)
Ah. Just wanted to make sure it was just him being jumpy, and not something else I wasn't picking up on. But now with Lord of Castamere jumping on Blarg for character reasons, after jumping on others for meta ones, I'm probably going to vote for him, despite the likely "Rally everyone against me" defense." I'm just holding off for now.

Nah, I won't jump on it right away. LoC is a good first choice though. I remember going through last night and thought what if he's one, but I don't remember why...

05:30 PM ET (US)
I mean, I think we're fine if we don't say anything about it, right? I mean, I'd have no reason to go back and correct, and you correcting it would just give Castamere more ammo.

No worries at all. I'm going to try and get a hold on LoC and look at his posts. He is being really vague and defensive. So is exmachina. That's why I'm voting for him.

09:40 PM ET (US)
Also, real talk, but I'm not sounding rude while I'm accusing Castamere, am I? I don't want to be, and I'm trying to make that clear, but he seems a little hostile.
Seeing how dedicated he is to deflecting instead of defending, despite making a lack of defense his main argument behind his accusations, I legitimately think he's on the Hutt Team. I just don't want to sound mean while I do so. Sorry for distrusting him more than Exmachina64, by the way. Exmachina just seems normal-aggressive to me.
26
Edge
05-19-2015
09:57 PM ET (US)
Nope not sounding rude at all. Also, ik why you're voting LoC so don't worry about that. Exmachina really just doesn't sit well to me. Everything he has been doing is telling me to watch out. He may be acting like he's mafia so that people doubt him actually being one, but he's played Mafia IRL and that's a big strategy used.
27
Zubz
05-19-2015
10:23 PM ET (US)
I figured I'd answer you anyway to summarize my argument to everyone else. I've played Mafia (Well, Werewolf) IRL, too, but I haven't seen that strategy too much, I'll admit. Oh well.
28

07:45 AM ET (US)
Things are not looking great for me at all at this point in time. Is there anyway you'd be able to maybe "miss" one of exmachinas posts, back me up, and change your vote? It does make sense for you to let me die though so that you have a better chance of surviving tonight.
29
Edge
05-20-2015

Yep. I'm going out tonight. I had to drop that hint out there so if by chance they don't vote me than they still don't know much.

Zubz
05-20-2015
04:29 PM ET (US)
I'll do my best! I'm looking for an Exmachina post to make me suspicious; if it's not too late, can you help me out here?
Also, thanks for that hint!
31
Zubz
05-20-2015
04:36 PM ET (US)
I hate to ask, but any ideas for what I should do? I mean, I've played IRL Werewolf too, but usually fake-Mafia claims are either made facetiously, or under bizarre conditions that benefit the "good" players. I honestly can't think of a good reason to switch to Exmachina without sounding bandwagon-y, which will certainly come back to bite me. If it's any consolation, I think he's beating you by one right now, if my math is right.
32
Edge

Can you tie up the vote? If you can look over my looking post and agree with me on ex machina than it wouldn't look bad.

01:07 AM ET (US)
We lived! And Castamere was innocent! Too bad he got killed, but it looks like he took the Imperial Swamped with him.
People are talking about having your "buddy" reveal, but they seem to think it's a Mason scenario where we merely know of the other's innocence, and not a Lovers one, where we both die together... What do you think? I can make the post myself, but I still feel it's a risky choice.
37
Zubz
05-24-2015
01:23 AM ET (US)
Do you want me to post so we look more authentic? And maybe we should describe ourselves as being like Masons, rather than like Lovers? Czar thinks we're Masons, and it makes us less of a target.
Any good Star Wars GIFs for when we announce our roles, by the way? I don't have any, but I have this i.imgur.com/6SkbURr.gif

Nope; there's a chance the Hutts might pass us up thinking we're spies, or try to paint us as the Hutts? I mean, I thought we were dead last night, anyway, so there's always a chance?
41
Zubz
05-24-2015
06:22 PM ET (US)
Ah geez... Palmer voted that I get the gun, but unless you're detained, leaving me as a Vanilla Rebel, we're both probably going to get killed in the night... But I also don't want to repeat that in the forum in case the Hutts forget that we're a 2-for-1 kill.
42
Zubz
05-25-2015
02:50 PM ET (US)
Ah geez... I appreciate all of this trust, but now everyone knows that a Hutt kill on one is a Hutt kill on both; I'm a waste for either Gun or Shield.
43
Zubz
05-25-2015
03:11 PM ET (US)
I think Blarg's a good choice for a gun, for reasons discussed in the forum. ... And I forgot that Terrabyte suggested discussing all of that with you alone. Gruh.
But... Honestly, what if QuantumBro is lying? It's only an inkling, but I'm surprised that we'd have 2 Armorers, and that he'd share this info so suddenly, and that he happened to have the same power of someone else who just died. Plus, this whole voting thing is distracting us from all other discussion. I'm probably wrong, because this is all based on questioning a way someone is using a role, but this doesn't feel right to me.
44
Edge
05-25-2015
04:16 PM ET (US)
Sorry for not saying anything in a while! I haven't been getting the notifications. I think we could do some damage with the gun but the shield is eh. I too don't even know if I trust Quantum but it is detracting from our discussion we should be having.
45
Zubz
05-26-2015
12:38 AM ET (US)
We wouldn't get the Gun/Shield until the FOLLOWING night phase. Assuming we're dead tonight, we won't see the following day.
46
Zubz
05-26-2015
05:14 PM ET (US)
... Hey, maybe if they start suspecting/detaining me after this vote for Quantum, you'll be cleared as a confirmed, ordinary rebel?
47
Edge
05-26-2015
05:38 PM ET (US)
Wait...why would I be cleared? I want the Hutt to know we are buddies. Mixes things up a bit.
48
Zubz
05-26-2015
07:14 PM ET (US)
If I'm detained, I'm out, but you're still in. If we make it to the night? We're both probably going down to the Hutts. The Hutts know you're a Rebel who has a buddy, but you'd be cleared among the Rebels, at least.
49

11:51 PM ET (US)
I'm going to try and vote for myself; no sense in letting the Hutts get 2 players in the night, and I think Blarg knows this. If this awful plan works, take note of everyone who joins in the vote on me, though.
51
Zubz
05-27-2015
12:25 AM ET (US)
... Or, never mind. As I said in the forum, it's actually better for the Rebels if we both are killed by the Hutts tonight. That way, Rebels with powers can still do their thing, and not get Hutt-killed tonight. So screw it. I'm going for Blarg. Live long and prosper, my friend.

05-27-2015
05:45 PM ET (US)
... Bringing up the fact that we're an easy kill is a good way to weed out a Seer/Cop, actually. We're a great Hutt choice, but if Setre's telling the truth, he's the PERFECT Hutt choice.
54
Zubz
05-27-2015
05:50 PM ET (US)
I guess Setre brought up what I wanted to hint at to you, just in case the Hutts might've forgotten how much more useful he is than us. Oh well. It's been fun, it's been swell. But it may be time to say farewell.

Zubz, I'm not suspecting you, but you are a rebel right? It would make sense to have a Hutt that is linked to someone on the opposing team both to make things more interesting and risky for the Hutts. I'm not saying you are but I just need to make sure right now, as anything can happen. Just copy and paste the PM.

65
Zubz
05-28-2015
12:59 AM ET (US)
Okay. Hopefully Edge sees this, and I know we can't just copy/paste stuff that Matty hasn't already posted, but I'm a Rebel. The PM says that we've been Combat Buddies for a long time, that we've always had one another's backs, etc. The key things are the "You are aligned with the Rebel Alliance" note near the top and "You win when no other players are Hutt-aligned" win condition that were in Exmachina, Castamere, and Blarg's revealed-roles. So this is way better than the Lovers role from Werewolf; Lovers win when literally everyone else is dead. We just need the Hutts gone.
With our actual "Evil Detector" role detained, however, we went from second-most likely target to "Literally the only one that works for the Hutts because they get rid of 2 Rebels." Hopefully the Rebels catch onto Setre's invalidated claim immediately and go after him and Palmer. We may be dead, but the Rebels will live on! ... Unless something crazy happens during the hunt for the real Imperial. Even without someone killing in the night, they can still keep voting for the wrong player each day. It's unlikely, but would certainly be amusing.
Before we wrap up everything, by the way, there's something I want to ask. I saw someone say "Where's TheWorthyEdge when you need him" in the E3 Prediction thread. Did you nail some past prediction or something? Either way, it's been a blast playing with you! Thank you, both of you, for the wonderful game! ... I mean, we're not dead, but I see that changing soon.
66
Edge
05-28-2015
07:32 AM ET (US)
Haha! True. Uhm, yeah I've been a bit on point with some predictions, though they all happened right after I sai bthey would. I'm not exactly an insider but I do have my people. Last year for PSX I was told of a new Dragons Dogma game, Street Fighter V and FF7 which we did get.... Of course we got the SFV reveal And FF7 (lol) but Dragons Dogma was no where until 1 week and a half later...Haha. I was told about Battlefront and the new Mass Effect as well as the fact that TLG is most certainly not dead at all.
67
Zubz
05-28-2015
02:57 PM ET (US)
Wait, are you allowed to share this kind of information? Either way, that's fantastic, as unlikely as The Last Guardian still feels. Maybe we could've used that fact as leverage (This is a joke, not an actual suggestion!)... The closest to insider stuff I've gotten was hearing a voice actor known for playing a DC Character say he was playing someone in Injustice a few years back, despite that character not being announced yet. It's cool hearing you know this kind of info!
68
Matt Gregoire
05-28-2015
09:04 PM ET (US)
Worthy, quick question I've been dying to ask since that thread; did you see any actual proof of The Last Guardian, or was it just veral confirmation? I trust your source after SFV and FF7 (even if it wasn't the remake we expected), I'm just curious how solid the info they gave you was.

... I SAID WOW. Glad we're alive. Investigate Palmer all Day Phase and inevitably vote Setre at the end? As I said, Setre could have just been trying to take a random player down if he was caught/make his ability look legit. I don't want to jump on Palmer immediately (And should probably have waited until later before voting on Setre), but I'd say we have at least 2 Hutts outed right now.
74
Zubz
05-30-2015
07:45 PM ET (US)
Just as a reminder... Maybe the Hutts forgot about our "Power?" Let's try to avoid bringing up that fact anymore. I only wanted to bring it up because I thought we were dying. We didn't, so maybe they never put 2 and 2 together?
75
Edge
05-31-2015
01:13 PM ET (US)
It is extremely odd how we haven't died, so maybe if they didn't put 2 and 2 together than they just haven't seen that we are a 2 in 1 package. Maybe we can look at who saw what we said and who didn't and look out for those that didn't see.

Sorry I got half-suspicious of Palmer and allowed him to throw everyone else off of his tail. Do you have any major arguments against him? He kept defending that he wasn't a Serial Killer, but I still think he could be an Undercover Imperial.
As stated in my post, though, Makai claimed Ordinary Rebel, but it could only be read if you quoted an old post of his. At first, I as impressed, but in retrospect, it just makes it harder to find that post. I'm thinking he might be a Hutt who got really lucky at the end of the last game.

Yup! Sorry I didn't get hear sooner; I've been out and about most of the day. But yeah, Edge, you got it; we can communicate together through this channel, separately from the rest of the game. And if I die, you die (And vice versa). I'm 100% sincere in my last post, though; Terrabyte's the only one who seems off to me, and even then, he can easily be a "good role, own agenda" player, so I see no need to act. The other players seem hostile, but it seems to be because of their playstyles. Anyway, just letting you know I'm alive. Let me know if there's anything that seems off to you.

TB seemed off to me right from the get go. Also, I voted for you so that people would think I'd do anything. There won't be a single glance in our direction that we are doing something until we actually have to do anything. I was interested in something so I asked MattyG. He says that if you are killed by the Hurts at night then I will be killed, but if you're detained I don't die. Vice versa. I have a lot of suspicions right now but I'm going to post them in main thread! Its only the first day and its getting crazy.

That works for me! Also, I'm not going to lie, Lord of Castamere was being pretty suspicious. He was trying to coerce Swamped into revealing her role, asking her what she's good for; revealing one's role/ability basically just sets them up as a target for the Hutts. It's a little early to bring it up publicly, but as a heads up, I don't trust him.

You know I actually had a very similar feeling about him yesterday. I forgot what it was but I felt he was trying so hard to get information that the rebels wouldn't exactly need to know. I'll look back into his posts and check it out but I'm really suspicious about: CzarTim, Barrylocke, and Exmachina
7
Edge
05-18-2015
07:43 AM ET (US)
Exmachina specifically. He voted for me because I was asking and trying to get information stating that he would rather vote someone being very verbal rather than someone who is stationary and not posting much at all. If I were in his shoes wouldn't I want someone verbal against someone who didn't contribute to the conversation?
8
Zubz
05-18-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
Yeah, they could just be bloodthirsty, but I'll admit, it seems more rabid than anything. Lord of Castamere's strategy, plus his know-how, has me as my least trusted member. Out of curiosity, though, why do you distrust Tim so much? Exmachina's accusation is pretty weird, too. I'd assume there's only 1 or 2 Hutts, and that most of this is just generally aggressive players. However, didn't someone once say that only Sith speak in absolutes?

Ah. Just wanted to make sure it was just him being jumpy, and not something else I wasn't picking up on. But now with Lord of Castamere jumping on Blarg for character reasons, after jumping on others for meta ones, I'm probably going to vote for him, despite the likely "Rally everyone against me" defense." I'm just holding off for now.

Also, real talk, but I'm not sounding rude while I'm accusing Castamere, am I? I don't want to be, and I'm trying to make that clear, but he seems a little hostile.
Seeing how dedicated he is to deflecting instead of defending, despite making a lack of defense his main argument behind his accusations, I legitimately think he's on the Hutt Team. I just don't want to sound mean while I do so. Sorry for distrusting him more than Exmachina64, by the way. Exmachina just seems normal-aggressive to me.

Nope not sounding rude at all. Also, ik why you're voting LoC so don't worry about that. Exmachina really just doesn't sit well to me. Everything he has been doing is telling me to watch out. He may be acting like he's mafia so that people doubt him actually being one, but he's played Mafia IRL and that's a big strategy used.

I hate to ask, but any ideas for what I should do? I mean, I've played IRL Werewolf too, but usually fake-Mafia claims are either made facetiously, or under bizarre conditions that benefit the "good" players. I honestly can't think of a good reason to switch to Exmachina without sounding bandwagon-y, which will certainly come back to bite me. If it's any consolation, I think he's beating you by one right now, if my math is right.

We lived! And Castamere was innocent! Too bad he got killed, but it looks like he took the Imperial Swamped with him.
People are talking about having your "buddy" reveal, but they seem to think it's a Mason scenario where we merely know of the other's innocence, and not a Lovers one, where we both die together... What do you think? I can make the post myself, but I still feel it's a risky choice.
37
Zubz
05-24-2015

Do you want me to post so we look more authentic? And maybe we should describe ourselves as being like Masons, rather than like Lovers? Czar thinks we're Masons, and it makes us less of a target.

Ah geez... Palmer voted that I get the gun, but unless you're detained, leaving me as a Vanilla Rebel, we're both probably going to get killed in the night... But I also don't want to repeat that in the forum in case the Hutts forget that we're a 2-for-1 kill.

I think Blarg's a good choice for a gun, for reasons discussed in the forum. ... And I forgot that Terrabyte suggested discussing all of that with you alone. Gruh.
But... Honestly, what if QuantumBro is lying? It's only an inkling, but I'm surprised that we'd have 2 Armorers, and that he'd share this info so suddenly, and that he happened to have the same power of someone else who just died. Plus, this whole voting thing is distracting us from all other discussion. I'm probably wrong, because this is all based on questioning a way someone is using a role, but this doesn't feel right to me.

If I'm detained, I'm out, but you're still in. If we make it to the night? We're both probably going down to the Hutts. The Hutts know you're a Rebel who has a buddy, but you'd be cleared among the Rebels, at least.

05-28-2015
12:59 AM ET (US)
Okay. Hopefully Edge sees this, and I know we can't just copy/paste stuff that Matty hasn't already posted, but I'm a Rebel. The PM says that we've been Combat Buddies for a long time, that we've always had one another's backs, etc. The key things are the "You are aligned with the Rebel Alliance" note near the top and "You win when no other players are Hutt-aligned" win condition that were in Exmachina, Castamere, and Blarg's revealed-roles. So this is way better than the Lovers role from Werewolf; Lovers win when literally everyone else is dead. We just need the Hutts gone.
With our actual "Evil Detector" role detained, however, we went from second-most likely target to "Literally the only one that works for the Hutts because they get rid of 2 Rebels." Hopefully the Rebels catch onto Setre's invalidated claim immediately and go after him and Palmer. We may be dead, but the Rebels will live on! ... Unless something crazy happens during the hunt for the real Imperial. Even without someone killing in the night, they can still keep voting for the wrong player each day. It's unlikely, but would certainly be amusing.
Before we wrap up everything, by the way, there's something I want to ask. I saw someone say "Where's TheWorthyEdge when you need him" in the E3 Prediction thread. Did you nail some past prediction or something? Either way, it's been a blast playing with you! Thank you, both of you, for the wonderful game! ... I mean, we're not dead, but I see that changing soon.

Last year for PSX I was told of a new Dragons Dogma game, Street Fighter V and FF7 which we did get.... Of course we got the SFV reveal And FF7 (lol) but Dragons Dogma was no where until 1 week and a half later...Haha.

Wait, are you allowed to share this kind of information? Either way, that's fantastic, as unlikely as The Last Guardian still feels. Maybe we could've used that fact as leverage (This is a joke, not an actual suggestion!)... The closest to insider stuff I've gotten was hearing a voice actor known for playing a DC Character say he was playing someone in Injustice a few years back, despite that character not being announced yet. It's cool hearing you know this kind of info!

As I said, Setre could have just been trying to take a random player down if he was caught/make his ability look legit. I don't want to jump on Palmer immediately (And should probably have waited until later before voting on Setre), but I'd say we have at least 2 Hutts outed right now.
74

Just as a reminder... Maybe the Hutts forgot about our "Power?" Let's try to avoid bringing up that fact anymore. I only wanted to bring it up because I thought we were dying. We didn't, so maybe they never put 2 and 2 together?

Sorry I got half-suspicious of Palmer and allowed him to throw everyone else off of his tail. Do you have any major arguments against him? He kept defending that he wasn't a Serial Killer, but I still think he could be an Undercover Imperial.
As stated in my post, though, Makai claimed Ordinary Rebel, but it could only be read if you quoted an old post of his. At first, I as impressed, but in retrospect, it just makes it harder to find that post. I'm thinking he might be a Hutt who got really lucky at the end of the last game.
