Well Zakalwe, I suppose Meiz could just be regularly suspicious ...

but my read for the moment is that he is a wolf that thought I had a power role in addition to being a neighbor, and was trying to sniff it out.

That being said, he IS my neighbor, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to keep posting in the quicktopic if he died. Also, he hasn't yet had the chance to defend himself.

But yea, either he is another villager and thinks I'm a wolf, or he is a wolf and is concerned that I have more than one power.

What the hell is happening here lol I'm at work and won't have much time to spent here later either. But anyways, I am Dierdre of Gaians and my Empathy guild allows me to speak with Tasunke.

Strangely I only got info that I can talk with him and that he knows my identity / name, but did not get any info of him. Therefore I reasoned that our abilities might not be identical, since he got more info than me, and it is actually my ability that allowed us to speak. I started to suspect him being possibly a neutral faction of mind worms, because the opening post of Bigger stated "Lady Dierdre claimed the xenofungus had started talking to her" . He also started our discussion by using multiple different personalities, and referred to himself as "we".

Here's the full discussion (read it from bottom to top):

Tasunke
anyways, it doesn't make much sense to me. If I really was a mindworm, do you really think I'd be the type to stop RP'ing, or even to lie about it? Also, if I was a mindworm I think I'd have a cooler power than "neighbor" ... but honestly I kind of like this power. Well, maybe not so much right now that my name is in the red, but in general, as this is the first time I've had such an ability.

All those names in the beginning were me having fun with Quicktopic (and the ability to change names freely). And even when I was being cagey I said that I was a type of "person" ... I never tried to say I was a nonperson.

The "Mindworm Arsonist" tag came from long ago, in the hopes that I would become either a mindworm or an arsonist.

As further, well not proof, but yanno ... as far as "we have so many sights to show you" just go to newgrounds and look up Nyan Caxx. I know it'll be stupid at the start, but wait till all the creepy demonic/ silent hill/ the ring type imagery starts showing up (I think it starts with the spikey chains) and then there will be a nega-Caxx that uters those words ... so yeah, go there to prove that it was a reference, not derived from my role or anything.

aight, laters

Tasunke
Well, I just named meself.

If I die, the write up will include my name as "Tyrion Larson"

Meiz
I'm unfamiliar with AC lore, but I know how to use Google smile Googling Alpha Centauri "talents" makes it a bit easier, but I think I'm not going to bother with that.

The opening post says: "Lady Dierdre claimed the xenofungus had started talking to her" - Apparently mindworms live in xenofungus.

You started with multiple personality act and even said "We have so many sights to show you, Dierdre Skie", which doesn't make any sense if your role is "talent"

You even changed your forum tag to include "Mindworm"

So why are you lying to me about the role? Or more exactly, what are you trying to hide? I'm starting to find less and less reasons for not joining the rest of the band and put your name in red, so I really hope you have some good explanation.

Tasunke
k. I'm a "talent"

in basic Alpha Centauri (from what I can understand) there are Citizens, Drones, and Talents.

I think Talents are basically like great people, but since I haven't played the game, I wouldn't know if the conversion is 1:1, and where actual empaths fit in to all of this.

From what I have learned, Talents can produce either psychic points, production, research points, or credits(gold).

I'm gonna guess that if a Talent produces psychic points its called an empath (but I thought empaths themselves were more planet specific, ah well).

In any case, I would assume that I am an empath-talent, but this was not revealed to me in my PM. All I know is that I am a Talent, otherwise known as a thinker.

In any case, your behavior is somewhat suspicious ... I mean if you weren't familiar in AC lore, then if I did have a name it wouldn't mean much to you (unless you had help from friends)

Unless you are referring to my strange post, but that was just a joke. hearing the darkness whisper back could just be a reference to our communicating telepathically ... but it was just a joke about being Nameless tongue

Anyways, I hope that helps.

Meiz
I just got info that I can speak with you and that you know my identity. So I'm bit in disadvantage here and would like a straight answer for my question. I'm not familiar with AC lore...

Tasunke
All I am is a type of person. I would think that your PM would have at least told you which type of person. "your Empath guild has connected you with an X" or something.

Well, that's all there really is to know ... because I have no name.Edited 08-13-2012 03:01 PM

Tasunke
does your PM say anything about me?

And, alas, I have no name. frown

Tasunke
hsss ... I am the nameless one, that whispers into the darkness ... and hears it whisper back.

Meiz
Argh my eyes! (too much spam) smile

Seems like we are way off in time zones. I was sleeping when the game started.

So you got the info of my name, but I did not get yours. So who are you exactly again? :P

Tasunke
oh dear ... didn't realize that Xenoborg was an actual forum goer. Sorry for that! ^^ (it was me btw, not him/her)

Tasunke
tots off topic ... but Persona 3 movie AND Persona 5 game both coming out!!! :D

maybe not super soon, but sometime during this next academic season I think. (2012/2013)

Tasunke
although I'm still a bit tempted to switch between Tas and Than

Tasunke
fair enough, I suppose tongue

*Bigger notifies him to use one account in the future*

Thanatos
Incidentally, why have you posted here yet not yet posted in the Game thread?

LunarMother
Or not ... :P

Well, at least we have this fun quicktopic, eh?

-Tasu

ShinaiGoddess
We have so many sights to show you, Dierdre Skie

Rastafarian
Perhaps we could make good aquantaince

Xenoborg
Good to meat you Meiz. I am Tasu


Meiz
Well, not useless. At least we got provable roles to claim if it comes to that.


Meiz
Oh not again :D (first neighbor, then mason and now neighbor again...)

A bit useless role for not knowing your alignment.

Anyways, nice to meet you Tasunke

So yeah, that's that. I don't actually suspect of him being a nap, especially after his play in here. Other minor reason is that while Bigger stated that I don't know his alignment, he also stated that Tasunke is unsure of mine. So minor thing, but I'm thinking he would have left the latter part out if Tasunke was NAP :D

Keeping my vote on Lewwyn, haven't found much reasons to switch to anyone else.

Wow, that's some pretty crazy posting from Tasunke. Surely if he was a wolf the other wolves would have been able to keep him somewhat more in check though?

thestick appears to be making to many mistakes to be a wolf (who tend to look over their posts rather thoroughly). I'm unvoting until I've reread the thread.

Tasunke's play is baffling.

The current post from Meiz really really makes me think that he has nailed it, and Tasunke is a mindworm who was *supposed* to use the back room channel to secretly influence and possibly recruit Lady Deirdre. Are Mind Worms necessarily bad? I don't know. But I would bet so. Tasunke is a country mile more suspicious than everybody else. Put together.

It just makes it to easy to stay below the radar imo and is all around in my opinion helping the wolves more then the village.

Probably just not a fan of my day 1 play then. :neenernee
This really isn't out of the ordinary for me. So hectoring me to vote is just a bit pointless.(doubly pointless as I've been away from the computer or asleep between my last post and now, but never mind that)

I know the votes I do at this stage could be applying pressure and causing reactions. But at the moment I don't have much data, and don't have a great deal to go on. I kind of hate first days in particular for this. It's sort of a paradox, in that I don't have the data yet to determine who I would like to get more data on, but it is one that is easily resolved by the action of external forces.

JKaen Wrote:Can somebody who actually played this game tell me what talents are (great people?) and what a thinker one is (great scientist?)

A thinker is a specialist unlocked a chunk of the way into the game, slightly better than the standard research specialists.

Contrary to what Tasunke said, talents are not necessarily specialists. Alpha Centauri works on a system of Happy-Meh-Unhappy, with bases shutting down if there are more unhappy than happy citizens. A talent is a happy citizen, a Citizen is the default, and a Drone is an unhappy citizen. Specialists aren't taken into the equation.

From a fluff perspective talents just represent talented people, although there is also the related concept of Psi-Talents.

Quote:Oh and since lots of people don't have a name, there cant be a name seer in this game, so I wouldn't worry about that

As I said before, I would call what I and a lot of other people have "Pseudo-names".

To take Tasunke as a working example, a name seer might scry him and get the name Thinker.
