Ever had a crazy game you just had to tell people about? Post it in this thread, I at least am curious as to other people’s thought process’ going through a game.
I have my own entry below if you’re interested
Alright I’m going to tell a tale that I had happen to me in a game, which for all intents and purposes was decided in turns 3 and 4 and then eventually spiraled out of control into the mess that was the conclusion. And it’s all my fault.
Now of course, I’m assigned my least favorite role in the game: Prince. A role in which is fairly heavy on note taking and situational awareness.
It’s a key component that can lead to many “checkmate” scenarios in which if the prince plays perfectly, he can carry victory on his back.
So night 3 I jail a claimed Observer[14]. In his log, he says that during night2, he followed [3] and [3] visited the King.
Well wouldn’t you know it, the next day, king is dead day 4.
Looking at his diary - he didn’t write his night 2 results, leading us to believe that the king was reaped.
[14] was also lead to believe that the king was reaped and tried to despreately point out that [3] visited the king night2 admists all the accusations of an unseen[16]
Someone had to question [3], and that someone was going to be me.
night4 comes and I ask [3] for his role and logs.
He claims the following:
phys (n1- heal king, n2- heal king, n3 - heal randomGuy[10])
It checked out with [14]'s claim but at this point I thought that risking a physician wouldn’t be too big of a deal so I went with it.
To my surprise, he was actually a physician. Not only that, it turns out the King wasn’t reaped,
but was instead killed by an unseen assassin, and the king just didn’t have any entries from night2’s results onwards.
This of course means that if the physician[3] healed the king night3,
I wouldn’t have been questioning [3] in the first place and his[3’s] death would have been prevented.
Because the physician[3] died by my hands, there was a need for healing poison in which our Reaper[5] was so happily willing to claim alchemist to do.
This unintentionally(as this was his first time as reaper) gave 5 a sort of shield to freely “heal” the many who claimed to be poisoned without question.
Eventually, the game fell apart with the mastermind avoiding execution, the unseen got voting majority and executed the reaper along with the last Blue Dragon member for the win.
Lessons Learned:
So with the latest patch (1.07b) giving 4 uses of poison and bleeding has caused physicians to be more valuable, and was a lesson I hadn’t learned yet.
Having access to executions as prince is sometimes more valuable than using them,
especially when it’s down to 2 members left as having an execute can determine BD to be a winner over a draw. Using my execute recklessly like this to test [14’s] claim as observer was a huge mistake on my part that ended up costing Blue Dragon the game. As only being able to jail people wasn’t enough, and gave the rest of the Blue Dragon enough reason to let the reaper live.
I hope that was at least an entertaining read. I often wonder if other people have crazy games they want to share, so I thought I’d share mine to see if that’s the case.
