User blog:Chris Lang/Traitor Game VI Back to Basics - Part 8 of Traitor Game Essentials

And now Part 8 of the Traitor Game Essentials re-presentation of Traitor Game VI: Back to Basics. In this installment, Ukyo and Meowth tell their life stories, the strange version of Wolverine faces the consequences for playing with people's hearts, and the Traitors strike again.

RUMINATIONS: A strong debut for Schornforce as Meowth in this game. He really went out of his way to do the Brooklyn accent, and interacting with him was a joy. I also really play up Ukyo as being out of her element here, scared and confused by the events around her. Which makes perfect sense, as her universe rarely has to deal with this sort of thing.

In later Traitor Games, we've had the structure be: NPC kill first, then Vigilante kill, then Traitor kill. Partly because of what happened in the portion above. After all, what good is giving a player a role if they never get the chance to actually perform that role? The Traitors got VERY lucky here by just happening to eliminate the Vigilante. As for Kabuto, his player had to drop out, but he was back in the next game.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. The presentation will continue in Part 9.
