Jurassic Park: The Lost World Mafia (Redux) - Game Thread

A quorate vote was reached when StephenZA posted his first lynch vote. The game was over at that point.

And so it again came to pass.

The town had found their target. It took a while to corral all of the little Procompsognathus, but it was possible. You can't lynch a mass like that, but you can set them on fire with paraffin. It doesn't make for a pleasant noise, or a pleasant smell.

Arheiner is dead. He was the Procompsognathus

Perhaps it was a bit of a shame. A couple of them had survived the island, the Brachiosaurus was still there, and the owner of 'his' proprietary IP was dead. Lewis Dodgson no longer needed to leave the island; in on the chopper came more mercs. He didn't want any people to know that the theme park wasn't of his genesis. The mercenaries were well paid, and they were merciless.

Morgieb is dead. He was Ian Malcolm, Chaos Theorist
StephenZA is dead. He was Eddie Carr, Expert Engineer

But things turned out pretty nicely for the Brachiosaurus. Having a live specimen around meant that Dodgson was able to raise capital a lot more quickly than otherwise and he made sure to look after his centrepiece. His mercs also quickly rounded up the baby Tyrannosaurus and the eggs.

And for a while, things worked out pretty well. Dodgson learnt from his rival, John Hammond and made sure that the Island was impenetrable. People tried to pull off a Dennis Nedry, but without success.

But, eventually, the Island wasn't enough and Dodgson overreached. It was time to expand. He announced he was due to open massive new theme parks, and purchased vast swathes of land in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and tropical North Queensland. The procompsognathus was smarter and more adaptable than he'd expected. It got out of its pen, and before long swathes of the Asia-Pacific region were overrun. An overzealous inspector (picture Walter Peck in Ghostbusters) insisted on seeing how the theme park in Coen worked. Then, the 'raptors got out.

Humanity didn't become extinct; they're a persistent species. But they were no longer top of the food chain. Hunters did a roaring trade, and Roland Tembo would have been proud. But places definitely became uninhabitable.

And in a parallel universe, a different set of very similar people on a very similar island had also failed to learn from history. As George Santayana supposedly said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - well, apposite words.

AVA was Roland Tembo, Master Hunter

Winners Circle

McGrath gets a full win. He was the Brachiosaurus
Speirz gets a full win. He was Lewis Dodgson, InGen Exec
AVA, Weeman, Uppercut get wins by association as team InGen. Howe and MrPrez don't for flaking out without a word.

 

Best in Show

InGen

Speirz somehow salvaged a game with GIMPY abandoned when two of the InGen team had also abandoned. Kudos to that man.
AVA and Weeman were also very good whilst in the game.

Town

Best in Show here was easily Himann. He read the game well, had worked out most things, generally made the right moves and flew low until it really mattered.
Teja and Shri were pretty useful early on.

Mafia

Best player here was Arheiner. He basically ran out of runway, but convinced a couple of decent players he was town, which could have carried him to the end IF either he or Tartmaster could have reminded Town quite how dangerous Speirz was. Once Baxter was dead, town didn't need Speirz really. And, after all, what had Speirz or GIMP actually given town?

Baxter and Tart did reasonably well. Captain and Cribb got dealt pretty awful hands. Phlegm pegged out when he'd have had a useful role in the end game.

Other

Well, no one ever investigated McGrath. What more can be said. Odd given that he'd raised a few eyebrows along the way, but one can't complain.

 

And many apologies from me for this game taking nearly 3 months.
