[Day/Night Game] Trouble on the Citadel - round "LE Part 2: Why Cerberus Is Right For You"

It is something else. I have no typical behaviour but vary it according to the role I have been given. I tried to stay under the radar last game but a certain wicked kitty forced me into revealing myself. I am more high profile and aggressive when I have nothing to lose because the spies already know who I am and for that matter the players do too. If you look back at the very first Skyhold game, I was Leliana and was low profile until it came to revealing the last spy, who I had uncovered during my nightly investigation, because, of course, provided I got him voted off I was safe. In the after game analysis Serza revealed that he almost attacked me with Josephine earlier in the game because he thought my behaviour suspicious.

Actually, when it comes to questioning people's votes this game, there has not been a lot to go on. Straight out of the blocks Tittus voted for me first round but, like I've said, I thought that perhaps he was Diana at the time and responded in a light-hearted sort of way with a retaliatory vote on him. Then everything went weird and, as I previously stated, everybody was questioning his behaviour, so I didn't think I needed to since everything that needed to be said had been. On the whole, first rounds are always difficult to gauge unless a bandwagon occurs on one or more people, when you can perhaps pick up voting patterns. It is true that everyone has been very sparse on the clues to their identity this game, presumably to confuse the spies but sometimes heroes need information too.

I think the spies went for Pela because she is an intelligent player who most people seemed to trust hoping that in the process they might bag an important role, which they did. Personally, I was sorry to lose Pela because she had started to trust me or at least my judgement. If you go back and read her posts you will know she was suspicious of one person in particular. Mind you, the main person trying to frame Pela was Tittus and he is meant to be on our side. Then he actually said he thought the spies should have left her in play to try and frame her. I have to admit he is the oddest "good" Liara I could imagine even though I know Space confirmed he was good. However, he did say earlier that he hopes we lose now. Still, I think his recommendation last game to vote for Pela, if we didn't vote for Adonniel, may have been another attempt to draw out the spies on our behalf. Moonae had no choice but to vote for Pela but Romice was quick to jump in too.

It is true that Smiles has given us very little to go on but what did we expect? Some games he is quiet and turns out to have an important role, others he is revealed as a spy having acted in exactly the same way. He often comes in late on in the voting and simply goes for the person with the most votes but equally he has sometimes broken with this behaviour. So I suppose it is pot luck whether he is good or evil this time round. He could be the key to deciding the outcome.

I was re-reading the rules overnight and there is something I would appreciate if you would clarify for me, Dragon, as the GM who devised them. "Whether hero or Cerberus, Garrus can shoot whoever he wants, though for Cerberus Garrus, it would be best to get permission from other agents before eliminating them." Does this mean that shooting Adonniel does not automatically prove that Garrus is good? That would complicate the issue somewhat.

Those are my initial thoughts on the matter. I'm assuming you are good Dragon, as is everyone else, but I do wonder if it because we are all intimidated by you as the former GM and terrified you will turn on us if we even so much as suggest you might be evil. It is the same with Adonniel in other games. So just for the record, I think I will wait and see who you decide to vote for. If it matches my own suspicions then I shall support you. If I think it is a bad idea, then I shall tell you so. In the latter case, it will not prove I am a spy but simply I have a mind of my own.

Let me just say:
"Spirits, guys, there was a reason I couldn't give any hints before this round."

Hope that clears some things up for everyone

You can recruit them in any order

Mordin and Garrus are on the same planet. Talk to Aria to find out where each are

You'll love Mordin. He's awesome

The ME2 characters are mostly a lot of fun.

Good luck!

Awkward

Yeah they pushed the Liara romance hard in 1. At one point if you were romancing both, they would come talk to you and you have to choose. Guess you didnt get that. Like you said, you get ninjamanced by Liara unless you are really mean to her.

Jacob is like Kaidan in 1 I think. I'd ask something but dont want to spoil anything for Adonniel

The ME1 crew show up at some point, and I think they are all more interesting in 2. In 1 they were info dumps for their species pretty much.

That's true. Sorry Aria

No, it doesn't. Now my brain hurts. Looks at previous post and theories - tears them all up. If I understand correctly, someone who previously seemed to be claiming a role now denies it, whilst another person who didn't want to claim it because needed to keep a low profile, now does. Or have I got that wrong as well.   And depending on Dragon's reply to my question, there is no guarantee either is good.   I repeat my previous assertion that I'm waiting on you Dragon. Can you make sense of this because I sure as hell can't.

Ermagerd, you're Commander Shepard, aren't you?

But you're supposed to be dead! How can I know you're not an impostor?

If she hadnt been wrex they could just to make garrus look innocent I suppose since she would have already been outed as evil.

That is true but if Garrus hadn't shot Adonniel we would have known for sure he was evil, whereas shooting Adonniel makes us totally trust Garrus and he drops off the radar entirely.

I don't know if you've noticed but we have a bigger problem. Romice seems now to be claiming the role that we formerly thought was OG because OG seemed to be claiming it but fervently denies it. In which case, who is OG? I have a theory about this that could involve my role.

So I have a new question for everyone. Which roles do you think are in play? I don't necessarily want you to say who you think is the role as I hate it when people blurt out my role for everyone including the spies to see but I would like to know if people think the same roles are in play as I do.

To be fair, you get renegade points when you pick the bottom choice for any character. I wouldn't worry about these points too much, unless you're planning on picking the bottom for everyone; you can still pass the paragon checks if you focus on being paragon while playing through the missions.
