Is it not related to the killing of ff who had made a night kill then? That was another thing?

That was just extra flavour I added partway through. I was upset by the death of Ana, so I decided that (after the game has finished) awards would be given to any Bourreaux who took the head of FFs who had killed those with esteemed righteousness.

I'm a bit gutted the esteemed righteousness didn't quite develop as far as I hoped it would. They only unlocked one of the three powers and it took them so long to get the first one it had been rendered obsolete by then .

Tbf the odds of them trying to target a FF was 1 in 3 from the off so they were up against it.

I do think the idea of having 5 and 7 living members survive in any reasonable capacity was incredibly unlikely but I appreciate the optimism you had for Bakeforce's success.

I had an idea for a forum game where all players would be assigned to one of a number of nation states, together with a role. The main thread would serve as a United Nations, where the leadership rotated and each state would have it's own set of objectives and would need to push for the international laws which would help them to achieve their secret win scenario.

Each player would have their own set of available actions, unlocked in some form of tree format and would take a certain number of turns (something like 6 hours per turn) to unlock new abilities within their tree, which would help their team on their way to world domination. Teams would be able to focus on a variety of things, such as economic, military or scientific advantage in private and decide how to play the game.

In my head, it would gradually escalate to all out nuclear war (maybe not the best theme in the current world climate). Ultimately, I don't think I have the time nor skill to think it through in the level of detail needed, but certainly there is huge scope for tweaks to the format to keep the games entertaining and fresh, though I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed all games I've played, though not so much the one before this where I was first to be killed! Certainly using the 'tree' format to give all players something to work on independently could work in the AYA format, though god forbid being the person who has to try to balance everything out...

Still, if Hugo is clever enough, he should read that for what it is...

I was thinking that, will Hugo realise Morgan can not have been paying any attention to the game and so is probably the last villager. If Morgan was the FF he would seem to have a difficult job of convincing Hugo so playing dumb could actually have been the best strategy

Sounds a bit like a megagame called: Watch The Skies! Which I have always wondered if it would translate well to a forum game type of format.

Watch the Skies is like a day event where there are 60 people essentially playing the same board game in 12 teams of 4 people running one of the countries in the world. The catch is that there are a team of players who are playing as an alien faction with unknown motivations and the game is about managing your country/factions interests during an XCOM style of invasion with each turn taking around 30 minutes to play out.

I'm probably butchering the pitch but Shut Up and Sit Down's YouTube channel has a great video of them taking part in a game of Watch the Skies which I'd reccomend for anyone who may be interested.
