[QUOTE=Joe Acro;4515084]I don't see Muriel, Eustace, or the computer in there.;) Great job, though. I really liked the notion of two controlling characters. I won't be using it (because it doesn't suit the story I've got in my head), but it worked. I appreciated the cleverness in this game, from using Wesley to making a sandstorm to tying in other Traitor Games and so on. It really was a pretty good game and run well enough that I didn't notice any glitches. I only hope my next one will be as good or, perhaps better.:D[/QUOTE]

Sorry about leaving them out, but Muriel and Eustace were only in the prologue and epilogue and weren't even mentioned between then. As for the computer...sorry.

The idea of two controlling characters was inspired by tangentman's and Indigo Al's scenarios, actually. And I decided to use Cologne because I wanted to use her again, and because having her oppose a cousin of a Star Wars character would help enhance the 'crossover' feel.

A lot of people liked Cologne's role in the game. Schornforce especially felt that having a 'good' host as advisor and confidant to the players helped with player participation. I thought it made sense, anyway. It worked out better than I thought it would.

The sandstorm was Jeff-E's idea. It was my idea to have the sandstorm happen and be mentioned as going on out there long before the fate of Matches Malone/Batman is discovered. As for Wesley, I just couldn't resist the urge to do some Star Trek jokes. Of the possibilities I considered for that role, he seemed like he would be the funniest.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I had lots of fun playing Cologne again (and I couldn't resist playing Ukyo again in the 'spectator' scenario). And I tried to make Darth Jubba an entertaining antagonist, but one everyone was looking forward to seeing get his. I was glad to work in a lot of players' suggestions into the climax. It made for a very interesting writeup. (I think everyone KNEW the game was ending when it took me an hour to finish the writeup. If the Bounty Hunter had failed, it would have only taken just one note's worth of text).

Looking forward to seeing what sort of Traitor Game Host Immortus will be. Will he be a villain (like Darth Jubba, Dr. Doom, and the Crazy Santa), or will he be a more morally ambiguous character? In the comics, he isn't always an antagonist. Anyway, I guess we'll find out when the thread starts.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm looking forward to the next game!

Show's over! Nothing more to see here, folks! :) The signups mentioned above are over, so by the time you read this, Traitor Game VIII will have already started.

Find out what the whole deal with Immortus is at Traitor Game VIII: How Low Can You Limbo? See you there!

RUMINATIONS: And so concludes this Traitor Game Essentials re-presentation of Traitor Game VII: A Galaxy Far, Far Away. Not really much to add to what I say above in the OOC posts.

Of course, this was still pre-Discussion Thread so there was a lot of OOC discussion about future Traitor Games. I've included here an interesting OOC discussion about something we never got to see: A rivalry between Eternal Torment's Organization and another group that wants to keep the Traitor Games going. It was an interesting idea, but it never materialized.

Anyway, this wraps up the Cologne/Doom/Darth Jubba trilogy. But I still decided to have Cologne be the source of a certain book that my character in the next game would be using. But maybe I'll get to that another time.
