Valve Mafia - "You are all incompetent cowards!"

Deliberately overpowered, because I wanted to see a SK make some decent progress for once.
I always wanted the SK to be Sniper, but I couldn't make a good picture editof the TF2 Sniper to be on a "GRN" team at all. Then I remembered that other Sniper from DOTA 2, who inherits a lot of quotes from the TF2 sniper.

*Snippage*

Rhyia (BLU spy) was probably channeling the spirit of Solid Snake with her wordy posts. Arhra (RED spy) had killed himself by targetting Geminex (pyro), but if Rhyia had done the same she too would have been incinerated. That was Gem's advantage for being burdened with Hmmmphmmmmph. I did give him the option to be able to talk normally, but he would have lost that anti-spy edge (which I only alluded to).
I had two spies to try and create some mystery as to who killed who at Night, as they both had the same weapons.

*Snipsnipsnip*

Bard was BULLETPROOF! But not knife-proof. Rhyia gave him a good stabbing, and that was that. It was a wasted kill anyway since he had to leave, but there ya go.

*snippety*

... Lucky I didn't try to shiv rpgdemon, and I was correct in assuming Sifright had knife-immunity! He's a ROBOT.

As to killing Bard, the other target I would've gone for would've been Sifright with the knife. Here's my message to RO in regards to that, before IC got lynched:

I immediately PM'd RO the moment night happened requesting a retarget. When he posted in the mafia signup thread about Bard needing to leave, I decided "Since I really have not much in the way of information anyway, kill Bard". One way or another, it would've been a wasted kill, in hindsight.

Honestly, it was really blind luck in selecting what weapon to use on whom. I did have a little bit of a hunch as to why RO did give us Valve items too, but not by much until everybody started roleclaiming left right and centre.

As to the accusations of you running a bastard game, that's probably all my fault. I wrote extensively about everybody claiming BLU, and then there not being night role reveals, and speculating about it being a bastard game.

MY BAD...

It was a close call for gregness, especially since he'd been cockroleblocked all throughout the game. It's like "Yes I can use my power now--- OH COME ON WHAT?!" and then everybody thought he was absolute scum because he's been claiming inactivity due to being roleblocked.

I... actually didn't know about the reputation Solid Snake had in this game until after I started spamming long arduous posts. Glad it got us places though!

As an impartial collaboration facilitator, it would be normally be unfair of me to comment on the test results for my personal evaluation of the Collaborative Colour Discrimination Exercise.

But due to being dead (because you killed me) and not actually being an impartial collaboration facillitator, I might as well go right ahead.

Here are the test results: You are horrible people. I'm serious, that's what it says: "A bunch of horrible people." We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you all feel any better, science has now validated your birth mothers' decisions to abandon you all on various doorsteps.

With that out of the way, here are the other test results:

The size of the RED testing association was perfect for test facilitation. Their special abilities created an excellent partnership, with one of them handling the cerebral challenges and the others ready to ponderously waddle into action should the test suddenly become an eating contest. The RED testing associates even had a secret member to be a moron who only has terrible ideas!

No revealed roles created an excellent opportunity for trust building exercises. Changing to obscured roles gave us an extra seven seconds of collaboration. Thanks to you, we won't have to phase out human testing. Well done!

This is why Arhra is my favourite psychopathic homicidal robot AI. <3
