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
Libel and slander, I had one fine run that I spoilt at the very end, and occasionally have a bit of a silver tongue, but your place at the head of the airlock queue is well deserved :lol:

Yeah this is the only game that has got a bunch of us all together playing since, erm, GRAW or R6 Raven's Shield, whichever was the more recent. Tis a mighty laugh, and we fire El Gaucho out of the airlock because, well, it wasn't me guv'nor ¬________¬

Has anyone seen the hide and seek variant? Just watched a stream of it and it looked like a laugh.

The rules are self-imposed rather than being a feature of the game, but basically at the beginning the imposter says "it's me" and gives the crewmates 10 seconds to scatter and trying to do their tasks, while when the count is up he runs around the ship trying to murder them all in time.

The imposter has his vision restricted so it's a bit like when the lights go out, and his kill timer is short (10s or less) so he can hit it whenever he finds someone, meanwhile there is no muting so everyone is frantically calling out where they last saw the imposter. Once dead you can still speak but no longer give those kind of hints.

Essentially it's lots of people screaming and running around and one cackling maniacally :lol:

Sounds like it would work quite well if we gave it a go.

Was it the Eurogamer/Oxtra/Dicebreaker stream, because that was absolutely hilarious. :lol:

We need to give that a try, though I think we'll need to tweak it a bit for fewer players.

That's the one :)

Lolies and Johnny Chiodini are too good at the game!

Luke's bizarre plea bargain and Johnny being so convincing that Aoife asked him to accompany her after the meeting (at which point he of course murdered her) were the highlights of the regular game for me, but seeing who could come up with the best serial killer voice for the hide and seek games was a real treat.

I can imagine it being doubly confusing considering that Gaucho was the true imposter pretending to be me all game. [-(
:lol:
If the game had allowed me to change names without restarting the game I would have changed before the end! :P

Hide and Seek variant sounds fun.

We currently have a couple days with 5 people (counting Sly as 2), so weigh in if you're available. Don't forget to press save after putting in your deets!

I might have found one person to join us for next week.

Tuesday is looking most promising again, with backup wednesday.

Shall we tentatively go for TUESDAY?

Likewise, I've got a bunch of stuff that's come up and can't really stretch a night for this alongside our forum d&d night this week.
