If Thoth is telling the truth this still leaves us with someone who's a whole species and someone who's a specific life cycle of that species, which is weird.

If Casey, Vader, or Rex are scum we just handed them a free pass here. Sigh.

I'm really trying to parse this out to make sure there's not some massive miscommunication/lost in translation thing here.


Your character is Facehugger, your role is Apportioner because Facehuggers impregnate people which kills them after a gestation delay, but the justification (as you said) is that Facehuggers work against the interests of Xenomorphs?

If adult Xenomorphs are scum, the flavor is that I'm stopping the night-kill.


But we don't know they're scum, and Kohai isn't claiming to be "adult" xenomorphs, just xenomorphs. And would Lunatic really give you a clue to the theme split like that?

In addition to how does it work against xenomorphs, how does it implicate Kohai?

Really didn't want this DP to close before I got some activity from Vader, Casey, and Rex

You've VTL'd Kohai, who has fullclaimed, on the basis that your role PM incriminates him, but won't share your role PM. You're going to get lynched anyway if you don't claim.

My role card implies that adult Xenomorphs are scum.


I can't analyze this unless you full claim your role.


Yes. I am positive I am the Xenomorph


All xenomorphs? Eggs, facehuggers, hunters, queens?

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

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

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:

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


If we're gonna go with this, Other

I'm cool to do the human/not human soft too, that isolates androids and creatures as well as xenomorphs, so it's not so limiting. Just keeping in mind that we have cyborgs and hybrids, so how is someone who falls in those categories supposed to answer?

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for everyone to soft claim Xenomorph or Not Xenomorph


I am not a xenomorph.

Upon re reading I think I may have misunderstood Thoth. The only issue I have is him claiming a Xenomorph but my character is the Xenomorph. I admit that I know nothing about the Alien franchise so I had thought the Xenomorph was an individual character and not necessarily an entire species.


They're an entire species, but there are individuals in it that stood apart, like the queen in Aliens, the sort of proto-xenomorph in Prometheus, the hybrid that called Ripley "mama." Etc. I didn't see Romulus or Covenant, possibly more there.


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.

Wryly

My character justifies thoths in a way.


Meaning it is also a xenomorph, or what?


reading through the last game I’d rather get a claim early as she is still learning and the accidental new player aura confused a bunch of people. Also new players as scum tend to skip. So locking down early helps


Can't see myself hard claiming earlier than DP2, happy to softclaim once we settle on a soft.


Skip? Or slip you mean. Wouldn't that work in town's favor


Wryly

Going off of this your claim, I think softclaiming whether our characters are or are not human seems like the way to do it. Mine is not human.


You'd need to define "human" clearly, as Alien: Earth introduces some things that blur the line. I guess Alien Resurrection did as well, with all that alienspliced Ripley and Ripleyspliced alien.


We hates Alien Resurrection, we hates it precious. Ripley wasn't even Ripley no more.

Imagine causing so much misdirection last game that you're random number generating a vote to put us at ease


NICE TRY


VTL Thoth


Reason: Thoth

Probably a good idea to soft claim something if anyone has any ideas


original movies/spinoffs?
