I have to give Blue some props for a job well done defending himself. There was a little bit of me that was wondering if in lynching him we would nab scum. I am glad he did end up scum.

 

Me too. After that last post of his I really thought it possible that we might be mislynching a townie. It's always more fun when the scum try to defend themselves up until the very end.

So we're just a few minutes away from the end of phase now. Even if one of us dies this night, I think we're all clear on the path we need to take from here on out, despite something drastically changing tonight. If I don't make it, it's been a pleasure serving you all.

<p>Night 7</p><p> </p><p>

No more dancing, because spoilers: Game’s over.</p><p> </p><p>

Superman looked after Green Arrow, protecting him from the Society’s wrath.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

Flash spun Vixen right round. Like a record baby. Round, round, round. Until she forgot what she was doing in the first place.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

And there was one last battle. The Reverse Flash taking on Black Canary, Blue Beetle, and Hawkgirl. Things go rough and tumble. Blood flowed on the ground. He downed the Canary, but then Kendra made Mace Meet Face. He was dead, but it was…weird. Because another Reverse Flash took one look at the battle and vanished as fast as possible.</p><p> </p><p>

Destiny is incapacitated (dead but not for story purposes). He was <strong><span style="color:#0000FF;">League aligned Black Canary</span></strong>.</p><p>

Rabbitman is dead? (Yes.) He was <span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Society aligned Reverse Flash</strong></span>.</p><p> </p><p>

With the last threat to Earth gone, the League had time to find the face blinding machine and shut it down. There were lost friends to mourn (and in Dinah’s case healing to do), but justice had prevailed. For now.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

On a rooftop far away, a slim man held the cowl of the Batman. </p><p> </p><p>

“Don’t worry, Bruce. Damien and I will take care of Gothan. Rest in peace.”</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

On a tropical island, a woman took up her sister’s legacy. There would always be a Wonder Woman.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

A distant planet. Two people (a man and a woman), recited the oath and became Green Lanterns. This did not mean they stopped being poozers.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

An Asian man slipped the cowl of The Atom over his face. His mentor had wanted this, but it wouldn’t be easy.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

Lex Luthor woke up gasping. He was surprised to be alive, after all. He was on…a spaceship? Oh, no. A robotic voice echoed from the shadows. “You disappoint me, Luthor. However, I had anticipated your failure. With my help, next time you will succeed.” The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows. “Or face the consequences of failing Brainiac.”</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

Circe had gone home to her island. However…she was bothered. Why did she let these impudent mortals driver her away? Wasn’t she the most powerful sorceress in the world? She worked herself up into a good rage. Yes, the League would pay. They would pay <em>dearly</em>.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

In a hidden cave somewhere on Earth, a most remarkable robot lay. The support machinery activated. Soon, Amazo 2.0 would awaken.</p><p> </p><p>

---------------------------------</p><p> </p><p>

And in the depths of space, a giant alien starfish made its way towards Earth. Soon, they would feel the wrath of Starro.</p>

Darn, and I had a whole defense prepared, one argument being "I don't recall ever claiming Vixen"...

I have to ask, though, isn't 4 investigative roles a touch bit too excessive? And with 3 of them being watchers...

And this discounts Amazo shenanigans.</p><p> </p><p> Also, there was more than 4. Join the Graveyard and witness game-roles.</p>

That was great fun. Loved the theme and having a fun role to play. Thank you EP <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

What maybe hadn't been taken into account is as the game goes on and scum members are seized, process of elimination sets in and it may not necessarily get harder to choose between our abilities to hunt the remaining few(also largely dependent on their play), especially if X townie says "I can fend for himself" and another vouches for </p><p> other parties.</p><p> </p><p> I for one thought two masons was a bit much to fare against one mafia team, that is why I had considered in my head a second team or several indies.</p><p> </p><p> Nevertheless, the game was well ran and I enjoyed deducing from the write-ups. There were nice touches in the setup, Amazo was a role that could've probably done a lot of damage. Maybe if Amazo managed to steal away outright his target's abilities it would've been more balanced, although I know in the comics/DCverse he simply copies them so it makes sense canonically.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Eternal Phoenix" data-cite="Eternal Phoenix" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46614" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Hmm.

<p>Sorry for outing dj/Rev. I felt like kind of a jerk doing that.</p><p> </p><p>

I quickly realized my win condition (killing everyone) was going to be nearly impossible, and just tried to stick around as long as I could (which wasn't very long).</p><p> </p><p>

I was going to try to claim that I was Lucifer Morningstar, and that they were calling me "It" because I was trapped in demon form. I kind of gave up on that quickly though.</p><p> </p><p>

There are a surprisingly small number of good guys in the DC Universe you can call it.</p><p> </p><p>

Krypto was another claim I almost made, but he's a good boy, not an it.</p><p> </p><p>

I figured Cyborg had too good of a chance of being in, and he was also a he.</p><p> </p><p>

Another claim I was considering was Blue Beetle. I was going to say I was Jaime Reyes, which was at least a different Blue Beetle, but there was another Blue Beetle in the game, so that would've been a hard sell.</p><p> </p><p>

Good game, all.</p>

<p>Look, I'm Hourman for sure. Or Cyborg. Or Aztec. </p><p>

Messed up on fake-targetting Panix. Panix caught it. </p><p> </p><p>

Enjoyed my scum team....</p><p> </p><p>

AND NOW: I've actually bought the DC Encyclopedia of characters (yes, it arrived the day before I got lynched). Which would be a good hardcover book/series to dig into about DC first? I love the darker stuff so I was thinking about the Tower of Bable from JL but I'm sure Panix, BHK, DJ, etc have other stuff (btw Green Arrow/Green Lantern etc are almost completely unknown in Europe and Superman is limited to films and series <> comics).</p>
