Wow, Walrein. You didn't even tell your OWN FACTION your alias until C4 to keep it hidden- and Layell had known it since C1? I CALL HAX
Anyway, good game, everyone. I find it somewhat amazing that I was outed completely on Cycle 1, with completely accurate information, and I still won the game. I guess people just weren't interested in getting rid of Buzz Lightyear. (General Spoon, why was I killed by an angry camera crew?)
Shoutouts for this game go to:
TalkingLion and Jalmont: These two were the first members of an alliance eventually known as the AQUANAUTS (or CREEPS, if you had channel access), and they invited me to be the third member after TL contacted me; we were slated to play each other for the Scramble Premier League at the time iirc (I won). We had a pretty good sheet going until Walrein came along with better organizational skills, leading us to transfer all our info into his sheet. It was fun working with you guys, although I'm very sad that Jalmont didn't make it to the end like the rest of us. ;_;
Walrein: The public speaker for our alliance and definitely the best information gatherer, Walrein took the brunt of the hits and did most of the dirty dealing. He was the one who convinced me most not to crack under HD's threats, and for that I thank him. He actually survived on 1 HP the cycle he won, and, while it was kind of saddening to lose our best strategist, we were glad he'd won. At least this time our faction wasn't torn apart after his death by hostile neutrals...
Next come all the remaining members of the CREEPS.
RaRe555: RaRe was the fourth addition to our channel (I think), although he didn't really do anything for a while. He was contacted vigorously after HD outed me to try and kidnap me for a cycle, but he got hooked instead- thankfully, no one even attacked me C1, not even HD. O.o Outside of that, RaRe and I set up our faction's final strategy during C8, and it definitely paid off.
kingofkongs: kok was also a decent strategist and info gatherer, but I blame him for Jalmont's death. Why? He advised that RaRe hit Engineer during his kidnap on C7, killing EP and allowing Spiffy to win, which meant that Jalmont didn't get bodyblocked that cycle. Silly dingofdongs; we lynch Fate for you so that you don't die, and this is how you repay us? For shame.
ginganinja: I didn't really talk to ginga much until C8, but our faction definitely benefited from having a second HP Inspector. Good job.
Ditto: We all complained about Ditto in the channel until C5 for not having IRC access, but he helped our team out a lot once he finally showed up. He provided a solid voice of reason, and I was glad to see him win.
Spiffy: I have a lot to say about Spiffy. We had been trying to contact Galladiator prior to his subbing to get him to ally with us, but we never saw him on. I decided to PM him about it, where he revealed to me that he would have very limited IRC access for the next week. After inadvertently relaying this info to General Spoon, he subbed in Spiffy, who happened to be online and in #submarine at the time. Spiffy asked a bunch of questions in #submarine, and, since Walrein figured we had lost at that point (due to HD being allied with an ultramayor and rigging the lynch) and therefore cared far more about Red Panda Mafia than this one, meaning he didn't care what info we gave out, I talked to Spiffy and told him everything. No one else would tell him anything about what was going on, so he allied with me and I gave him sheet access. His presence in our channel rejuvenated the disheartened CREEPS, especially since he happened to be a bodyguard. His addition to our team pretty much sealed the game for us; he was also very friendly. ^_^
Dogfish44: I never actually talked to df about this game, but I appreciated his contributions to our victory. When he inadvertently died due to Walrein not telling us his alias, leading RaRe to tell a bunch of people to attack Hamlet on a night when df was revmarring Walrein, I felt a profound sense of loss, even though he was the first of my enemies to go. I'M PROUD OF YOU, DOGFISH!
And that's about it. Props to HD for outing me, although no one seemed to care, and DP67 for rebelling against HD's tyranny. Yeah.
tl;dr CREEPS FTW
