I'll help. The Fallen is one of the first race of Primes (Optimus' legacy) and he is one that went rogue or bad.

So The Fallen are both? My only experience is the comic books, and my memories of the TV shows from over 20 years ago.

Yeah, Primes are the same race as the Autobots and Decepticons, they were good, preserved worlds, etc except for the one known as The Fallen. He looked to destroy and gain power.

Why?

I don't get it. What's so bad about that? It's day one. I'm a crappy player as everyone knows, so enlighten me as to your reasoning that it's a bad "track record" (as if you can have one after 3 total votes on day one).

Seems to me that you're really latching on to something pretty tightly there EF...

Lighten up. Just pointing out two things that I have seen people come after others for on day one votes. 1st was using a similar type of excuse for the vote, 2nd thing that has caused suspicion in the past has been making a second vote on someone and you just provided the 3rd, getting too defensive about your voting on day one.

I actually think you are clear (though I see where thinking got me last game) as I didn't see you do any of that when you were actually a wolf.

I definitely have to agree. I have never been fond on the person to cast the first second vote on somebody. In past games I have always voted for this person, but this game I am goin to wait it out.

I was really excited to get my PM and see that I had a role, then I checked the thread and realized everybody had a role!

Question : When you are in disguise you are the car correct? And nobody can tell if you are good or bad? Even though in the movie Chevys were good and Ford bad?

This is the silliest WW "tradition" of all. There is no evidence at all that it's a good indicator of wolfishness. To me, calling people out for it is just an excuse to pin stuff on an easy target.

Remind me to go back to being UTR next time.

Hehe, I loved that from the movie. When you are disguised, you are in car mode and characters might be able to find things out about you, kill you, etc. and it is more likely than if you are in your robot mode. However, if you do a night action, it puts you in disguise mode. Hope that helps!

I am not part of this game (just a possible alternate), so forgive me if I go off into a side thing here, but this is really confusing.

The Fallen==the first race of Primes
The Fallen==the one robot from among those Primes that went rogue

?

I think we have some confusion here.

I went to wiki, the website which knows all (so take this FWIW), and there were two "Fallens" put forth.

Comic version:

The Fallen was one of 13 original Transformers built Primus, who is something like the father of all Transformers. The Fallen betrayed his creator and followed Primus's evil twin Unicron. Unicron and the Fallen fought against Primus and the rest of the created Transformers (got fuzzy here, but I believe they were called the Primes) and were defeated, and the Fallen was sucked into some space between dimensions through a black hole. He was later accidentally freed, and in the ensuing war he started, was destroyed by Primus himself.

Film version:

The Fallen was one of seven Primes (the first Transformers), who were all designated to find systems to build Sun Harvesters to create energon, the energy Transformers use to survive. There was only one rule, and that was that the Primes could not build Sun Harvesters in systems that contain life (the SHs destroy the suns and systems). The Fallen chose to ignore this, believing the Transformers were the ultimate race, and built one on Earth. He gathered other similarly minded Transformers (non-Primes) to his side and formed the "Decepticons". That triggered a war between the Decepticons and the Primes. The Primes won, their former brother the Fallen was imprisoned on Cybertron, and the Matrix of Leadership, the tool which activates the Sun Harvester on Earth, was hidden in a tomb composed of the Primes bodies.

Optimus Prime is the last of those Primes. And only a Prime can kill the Fallen. Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons when the Fallen ain't around, but he acknowledges the Fallen as his master. The Decepticons wear a carticature of the Fallen's face as their symbol.

The rest of it delves more into what happens in the movie (some of which I revealed here), and I doubt it's necessary to get further into it and at the same time reveal the movie plot and what not. Just in case anyone wants to see it who hasn't.

That's the version I went with despite much preferring the comic book version. The Fallen here won't have the same kill conditions although it was something I considered. I just felt it overpowered that role to make The Fallen killable by only two characters.

Unless I'm missing something, the only thing that I can see in the rules that you're protected from is the Scanner 2.0. I'm guessing that I'm missing something since there doesn't seem to be any advantage for the Transformers to stay "in disguise". In fact, looking at the Stalker role, it seems better to not be in disguise since it says they only find out the role if disguised.

I think you meant to say " if you do a night action it puts you in disguise mode" not robot mode.

also, i dont think the 7 primes in the movie were part of something called the fallen, i think The fallen just refers to the transformer who "fell", as in go over to the dark side.

Most players won't be able to use their actions unless they go into disguise mode.

I finally read through the rules. Game is not too bad in complexity with the only real ? being how the disguise mode aspect will work. Also since we have 19 players, normally a breakdown of 14 autobots, 4 decepticons and 1 fallen would make sense. But because of all the roles, I'd say there is a decent chance it is actually 13 autobots, 5 decepticons and 1 fallen.

I agree with this -- I see it as basically being a form of being UTR. Which I won't remind you to do, Schmidty, even though I also think that voting for someone just because they challenge you in the slightest is another form of being UTR -- basically giving yourself the out to say "well he was attacking me" rather than having to put yourself out there for something.

Holloman Air Force Base, Alamagordo, New Mexico-

The sun breaks over the base, chasing away several days of rain. Some morning dew and fog still lingers and several of the airmen, walking from their barracks to the mess hall, think, "It's a good day to be in the Air Force."

You see, life has been quiet around here, even after the government moved a lot of materials from the now defunct Sector 7. In its place, a new group has sprung up named N.E.S.T. (Networked Elements: Support and Transformers) that serves as a quick strike team against Decepticons around the globe.

Today, with the Autobots away, the Decepticons will play. The Constructicons, a group made of up multiple Decepticons, that form one larger robot are unleashing havoc. The call goes out to Optimus Prime and the Autobots begin racing to confront their first Decepticon threat...

votes are due by 9 EST

I think I've played in games with all of you but I have decent access at work and will do my best to answer any and all questions within a half hour to forty-five minutes. As I stated before, the exception will be this afternoon when I'm unavailable from 4:30 EST to 8 EST. My apologies for that.

By being in this state, there are very large disadvantages, such as a much higher chance of being nightkilled or perhaps challenged/killed by another player.

I guess this is the section that I had missed initially. Are the mechanics behind this hidden I take it? By reading this, it seems if we don't use our powers, we have a chance of surviving a nightkill order?

This is true, there is a greater chance of surviving a nightkill but it means you pass on using your power. This was originally going to be completely hidden but in laying out the Powerful wolf's powers, it is easy to infer that there is a mechanic at work.

All right, thanks for not talking too much overnight guys. It's hard to say what the numbers would be, since there's some percentage chance, and we don't know how much, of surviving a night kill, not to mention our other powers. It should be interesting.

I should be around fairly often so I'll hold on to my vote for now.

Usually on day 1, I try to see what I can tell about people from their posts. Try to get a feel and vote with that. If I don't really pick up on anything, I just go with someone who hadn't checked in as default.

Since I'm not sure of my availability today, I need to go ahead and get a vote in. I don't really have a great place to put my day 1 vote, so will go with the person who made me think the most about their posts so far.

It was proven long ago that the second vote on someone on day 1 historically has been a far higher percentage of being a villager than a wolf. (To go along with historically there are far more villagers than wolves on day 1 anyways). Eaglefan used this logic earlier as he subtly threw it out as a reason why Schmidty looked bad.

Now, I'm not used to having wolves come out and try to ruffle me up on day 1 or try to draw my attention by putting an early vote on me like Schmidty did, so I guess I just took it for what it was and left it at that.

I guess I just got a weird vibe from Eaglefan's posts last night. So I'll put my vote there. I know it is a third vote on him and only one other person has a vote thus far, but *shrug* its what I have so I'll go with it. I might be back later, hopefully will. But just in case I don't.

Vote Eaglefan

Just saw this -- I had been avoiding the thread for spoilers, since I didn't watch most of the 2nd half until Sunday morning. On Saturday, I had watched right up until the Illini scored to make it 14-13. I was still feeling pretty good. But wow, what a bunch of crap. You're going to seriously let momentum from a goal-line stand carry Illinois to 31 unanswered points? Jesus. At this point, beating Purdue is probably our only shot at a bowl game, since beating Wisconsin or Ohio State is very unlikely.

Since I'm not sure of my availability today, I need to go ahead and get a vote in. I don't really have a great place to put my day 1 vote, so will go with the person who made me think the most about their posts so far.

It was proven long ago that the second vote on someone on day 1 historically has been a far higher percentage of being a villager than a wolf. (To go along with historically there are far more villagers than wolves on day 1 anyways). Eaglefan used this logic earlier as he subtly threw it out as a reason why Schmidty looked bad.

Now, I'm not used to having wolves come out and try to ruffle me up on day 1 or try to draw my attention by putting an early vote on me like Schmidty did, so I guess I just took it for what it was and left it at that.

I guess I just got a weird vibe from Eaglefan's posts last night. So I'll put my vote there. I know it is a third vote on him and only one other person has a vote thus far, but *shrug* its what I have so I'll go with it. I might be back later, hopefully will. But just in case I don't.

Vote Eaglefan

An interesting post. I may very follow this but I would like to see how things go for a while longer before I cast my vote. I don't really like putting Vote number four down this early on Day one when there's no one else that's close at this point...

PB, are you willing to share a high-level overview on the order of actions? There seem like a few different abilities that could collide and it would be helpful to know order-of-actions in order to interpret results correctly.
