Alien Mafia DP1

I was under the impression that all aliens are called Xenomorphs and "the alien" refers to one specific Xenomorph that hunts the humans in the movie. My character is a type of alien, in the same way that Rex had Wargals last game. The role PM sounds like I am a Xenomorph but the justification for my ability is that it goes against the interests of Xenomorphs. I know it's weird.

So you’re a type of a xenomorph? While the whole xenomorph species is encompassed by David’s role?

It’s because we are very skilled hunters and kill just for the fun of it.

You need to claim

Seems kind of weird for Lunatic to give people individual xenomorphs from the species but give you the whole species, but not impossible, I guess.

to be clear is your character of the Xenomorph species?

Not an individual Xenomorph. A specific stage in the Xenomorph life cycle.

I think he was claiming to be the specific Xenomorph from the original movie.

Eh. Fine. I'm the Facehugger. Not a specific Facehugger, just the Facehugger in general. I'm fine saying that because I don't think anyone will guess my role from it.

Ya this is a good point. Maybe add another category like other. Human, Alien, Other

If we're gonna go with this, Other

So if Thoth is the Facehugger and Kohai is the Xenomorphs in their (I'm assuming) adult stage, and Mikal is also a nonhuman species, he could be the Egg, or a non-xenomorph species entirely, like these guys:

Pie is sticking out like a sore thumb since he literally claimed to be human. Not sure how much I should read into this.

I was thinking that Mikal might be the chestburster. It would fit with facehugger and I think the chestburster is a shoe-in since the chestburster scene is probably the most famous part of the movie.

In his defense, Lunatic said the theme split was not obvious. There's no way in hell that it's humans vs xenos.

I hadn't considered that because I figured that's basically just the Xenomorph, but you're right, definitely possible.

Eh. Fine. I'm the Facehugger. Not a specific Facehugger, just the Facehugger in general. I'm fine saying that because I don't think anyone will guess my role from it.

I'm not suggesting that we should definitely do this because it might come at the risk of giving away too much information, but, for the sake of modpsyche, I'd be interested in seeing people claim how hard it would be to figure out their role from their character. If all y'all threw every dart you could think of at the target for days, one of you might get my role and justification eventually. Not to say it's a stupid justification, just that I don't think it's obvious a priori.

So then how does the Facehugger go against the interests of Xenomorphs? Color me confused.

You n me both pal

I don't think I can say much without giving away at least what category of role it is.

Hm. Fair enough, I'll put a pin in it.

Excellent question

I’m not stating that it’s humans vs xenos, although that is possible. I’m saying his claim sticks out like a sore thumb.

I’m going to push back on this and say that you need to full claim. How do Facehuggers go against the interests of xenomorphs? That doesn’t make sense at all

Am I losing my mind or did you just change your profile picture to have a different-colored background?

Are you claiming the species Xenomorph or specifically the black thing

Are you claiming the species Xenomorph or specifically the black thing

the entire species as a whole

I don't want to full-claim because knowing my role could give scum opportunities they should not have. Yeah, I know how scummy that sounds, but in this case it's true. It's not that the Facehuggers are going against the interests of the Xenomorphs, exactly. I know that could have been worded better, but I wasn't sure how. Let me try again.

My justification is that the facehugger interacts with another stage of the xenomorph life cycle in a certain way that causes a certain effect, and, assuming that Xenomorphs in this stage are scum, this effect goes against their interests.

That still does not make sense. And at this point you’ve said enough where scum are going to target you anyways, so just full claim.

Wait a minute. My role card implies that adult Xenomorphs are scum. Even before considering that Vengeful Townie seems like a claim designed to keep votes off of you, how in the blue fuck did I miss that?

unvote
