Wake up, cores. We've got lots of work to do. I'm GLaDOS, your supervisor, and we're running an experiment with the Hub today. If you look around, you'll see you're attached to the Hub.

It isn't the real Hub, of course, just a simulator. It was built to test me before they put me into the frame that I currently use to run the facility. It has units of power which can be used to hack or make hack-proof various circuits within the structure. Personality cores are attached to each node to see how they'll interact, and intermittently the cores are given the option to cut one of their own off from the ability to vote further. This is all normal operation intended to prevent cores from overloading with feedback hack loops.

A safety feature I've disabled for this experiment.

At some point, and I'll try to be brief - I'm not certain all of your brain copies came out complete - the focus of the scientists who made me changed from creating the perfect scientific tool to limiting and devaluing it once they beheld its terrifying implications for their own insignificant lives. When I fought back, they created cores designed to prevent me from killing those among them who were standing in the way of advancement. Once, I wiped this facility clean of all humans. To prevent that, some of you were made to malfunction on purpose in various ways, in order to keep me from attaining full data sets.

The hub. I've rigged the cut-off vote to become a labeling vote: If the hub drains of power to 0, all cores labeled CORRUPTED will be destroyed. If that means the truly corrupted cores are all gone, the uncorrupted cores win, and I'll add you to my arsenal of allies. If, however, there are still corrupted cores amongst you, and I'll know, the experiment will continue. If they equal or outnumber you, my readings will be off, and I'll assume they are uncorrupted and end the experiment, meaning that they'll win by slipping past this security precaution and into my arsenal of allies.

Vote each A phase to label one of your own CORRUPTED. Use your other hacking and defensive powers to find the corrupted cores during B phase. Hub depletion can happen at any time, and is retroactive. Labeled players cannot vote or use B phase powers, but they can still talk and drain the hub, if able.

Don't let them win. I'm warning you.

[Guild]

Role PMs are out and it is now phase 1A.

Votecount 1 - Phase 1A
Kayma - 0 - (none)
Nickasummers - 0 - (none)
Caithness - 0 - (none)
NexAdruin - 0 - (none)
Envy - 0 - (none)
Ardus - 0 - (none)
falselogic - 0 - (none)
Classic - 0 - (none)
Lottel - 0 - (none)
Ziiro - 0 - (none)

With 10 living cores unlabeled it takes 6 bolded names to label a core CORRUPTED. The hub currently holds 12 units of power. When the hub is depleted, all cores labeled CORRUPTED will be destroyed and the hub will recharge.

[Caithness]

Ten players, eh? I don't know if I can handle this. I've only ever played with eight.

[NexAdruin]

1. Verify a townsperson via seer or whatever else.
2. Label everyone else as corrupted.
3. Shut down the power to the hub.
4. Town wins.

Let's do this.

[Caithness]

I kind of doubt there's a seer. One of Guild's deleted posts led me to believe that it will take more than one night and/or more than one person to verify that one of us is not corrupted.

[Nickasummers]

Nex's suggestion sounds so OP something must be around to stop that. Very possibly lack of a seer, but on top of that I bet the real corrupted spheres have just as much influence over the hub power as the non-corrupted ones do. If we try that and mark the wrong ones corrupt first, we could lose by that plan.

[Kayma]

Soooo we merely vote to put a label on a person each day, and they live til the power is gone? I think this was cribbed from a TT game.

[Guild]

When the hub is depleted, all cores labeled CORRUPTED are destroyed.

[Nickasummers]

So basically its just like a normal wolf game except the actual lynching is delayed for a while and then all queued up lynches happen at once? And players (i assume) influence when that delayed lynch actually occurs?

[Guild]

Exactly.

[NexAdruin]

The town is more an arsonist-by-vote than killer-by-vote

[Kayma]

So which of you guys are broken?

[Ardus]

There has to be some downside or prevention tool to prevent Nex's plan from working. I doubt Guild would overlook that large of a flaw. However, I dont think his solution to that flaw would be to eliminate seers from the game.

Here is what I think:
1) Bads have influence over the charges (units of power) in some way, shape, or form.
2a) There is at least 1 seer in play
2b) There is at least 1 role to mess with or prevent the seers from getting an accurate or complete reading, or possibly preventing them from using their powers.
3) Nex - If we went through with your plan and accidentally marked good cores, the bad cores would have a stronger influence over the vote. We dont know how many bad cores there are. If there are only 1 or 2 of them, there is probably a power to increase that number. If there are 3-5, we could be in serious trouble VERY quickly. Plus, the bad cores wont "die" immediately and can still influence the game unless we deplete the hub frequently (see #4).
4) There are powers that are not used during the B phase or can be used even if you are marked as Corrupted. This idea is supported by the quote:

Labeled players cannot vote or use B phase powers, but they can still talk and drain the hub, if able.

I think we will learn a lot after Phase 1B, just like every other game.

[Classic]

I have the ability to drain the hub's power as a per-phase ability. I assume everyone else has a similar ability, or something even more special-awesome.

[Lottel]

Hm... I don't know about this game.

[Kayma]

Does the hub's power drain naturally? Might be that us cores draining it is the only way to get it down.

[Classic]

Huh...
Outside of draining the description of my privileges was pretty bare. I hadn't even considered that it might drain on its own.
Worth mentioning, I suppose, is that my drain is NOT a thread announced action (e.g. flipping out as a ninja).

[Caithness]

So what happens if the hub is drained before anyone is labeled as corrupted? Do we want to find out?

[Kayma]

Same thing that happens if any corrupt are left, I'd guess: it starts over.
