I think I was only actually killed once. I'm still not entirely convinced by the safety in numbers angle, and given that my usual modus operandi is to go off on my own at the start of a game, and my surprisingly low mortality rate, I think being the loner may actually be a good thing.

But I can't believe I managed to get away with a stack kill. :twisted:

Hm... the first few games I tried to find a buddy, who then turned out to be the imposter and killed me.

Then I tried going lone wolf the rest of the time and was generally killed first anyway :lol:

I tend to go off on my own to do tasks at the start as it feels safer with more people alive to randomly bump into.

By the way, thanks for playing with my eldest, she's been desperate to play since the last time.

Had to laugh this morning when my wife said she was worried people might not want to kill her, I just chuckled and said I didn't think anyone would hold back :lol:

She was my first kill of the night, I shed no tears :lol:

Was good fun having her along too, could hear her over the mic so she didn't lose out for not having her own comms and more numbers made it more enjoyable.

When we first started, I went off on my own to do the busywork but was promptly ejected from the airlock at the first murder, innocently, because I couldn't give an alibi. From there I have looked to keep myself visible. I wonder if we all set out to do the tasks, how desperate the imposter may become? I was getting nervous last night when two players kept following me as the imposter, watching that green bar creep up. That was the match where I gave myself away at the end with just three of us left.

Bahahaha :lol:

I knew you guys wouldn't let me down.

Any fears about her ability to fit in vanished after about 15 seconds when I became her first kill :lol:

Yup, happy to have her back. The more the merrier!

I did feel quite guilty about booting her out of the airlock for no good reason other than Snowy fooling us into thinking he'd been with us the whole time mind.

Any sympathy i might have had was quashed when she slaughtered me cold heartedly in the first game! :P

We do need to move this bias to voting me out of an airlock by default to Snowy though - he acts with total impunity most of the time!! :o

Doodle is up for next week, so sign up and we'll see which day looks to have the most attendance.

Sorry I couldn't stick around, I was in no state to be trying to sneak around or put clues together, I soon realised!

And that's the story of why I'm not allowed near pregnant women for the next few weeks.

We're hopefully playing again next week, it would be good to have you on board again for that one :)

I don't think that would have put you at a disadvantage! :lol:

I was so far gone I couldn't work out or remember which in-game name was who (most matched, some were different to their in-Discord names). Then I realised much too late there was a person extra in-game than in-Discord!

I can imagine it being doubly confusing considering that Gaucho was the true imposter pretending to be me all game. [-(

I don't even know what you mean by that?! Very glad I didn't stick around.

I'm also posting at this time of night on a weeknight like a fool!

Gaucho named himself ElMantis for the game, the extra bod was my eldest, she was playing on mobile but shared my mic for the discussions parts.
