Re: In A Mirror Darkly - Star Trek Mafia Forum Game Thread
I was really nervous at the start because I was totally ignorant of how the game worked. Gorny sent me a PM said "you're a cadet. You do cadet things (link) and you are pro-town." I had never watched a game, didn't know how it was played, didn't know any of the rules, and was considering just asking him to take me out. After the first day, I KNEW I wanted out.
My reaction could be summarized as "What the hell are these people talking about!?" I posted something completely banal and Ankeli, bless his cold, black heart, tore me a new posterior. Fish out of water is the phrase here. Then Leo posted that wiki and it was like your eyes suddenly adjusting and seeing the hidden picture within the dots. Thanks Leo, I was pretty much done without that link. I can honestly say I had not a clue how this game was played until day 2.
From that moment on I was kicking myself for not trying this before.
Anyways... then the earth cooled and so forth....
You all know about up to today, but just for your enjoyment about what was coming next. We had a 50 percent chance to assimilate Noodle yesterday at day end from the previous night (it took an entire day for asrrin to make the attempt). I think we had a chance if we got Noodle whether asrrin died or not because there was at least one person that was going to die before me.
Would have been interesting.
GREAT game Gorny. Good enough that I wrote up two of my own for a well-into-the-future time after some more veterans go.
Hope to see a new sign-up sheet before too long.
Best moment: Ivan being fixed and taking out 3 innocent bystanders. Outrageous.
