I'm taking a lot of satisfaction in just letting the exalt/smite buttons sit there without using them on anyone. XD Me too. I was ready for it to be over. XD

Okay, now that I've rested a bit and lurked through the thread since I've been gone I want to say... CONGRATULATIONS FELLOW ZOMBIES WE DID IT!!! <3 Ohman, it was quite the adventure! XD; Honestly, when the game started out and we saw how many mercs the Ghostbusters and Zombie Hunters, I knew we wouldn't be able to win. None of us were great artists like Celest or Tamia who were creating avatars and... we had a few loyal mercs, a few suspicious traitor mercs.. and the team itself XD So the fact that we won... I'm still amazed. I don't know how we did it. I guess we're not having an afterparty thread? D: Last years was a lot of fun to read, and I heavily referenced throughout this years Karmageddon game.. trying to think of strategies, ideas, techniques whatever. And it also really helped, since the Deja Vu achievement was there XD;; (as I'm jumping through this post, I realize that the achie was in the regular KIII thread, not the afterparty. XD) Actually, funny story about that achievement. I was skimming the post that contained the achievement, and saw the "alert Dan and Ginz right away!" thing, and I didn't think much of it - i was oblivious at the time - so I decided to be funny and I PM'd it to Dan. He responded with a "o_____o" because he just put it up a few hours earlier and gave us the achievement. XD I was amazed and I was very happy. Doing stuff just out of silliness pays off =D Well, great game! =D Sure it dragged on a bit at points but it was certainly enjoyable to watch. Congratulations, Zombies, and job well done for everyone else. ^_^ I suppose now would be as good a time as ever to mention my position in this game? :3 I was on all four teams. And I attempted to attack each one of you guys from the inside. I was passing information and attack plans around like it was nobody's business. You would not believe how confusing it was to keep all the information lined up at the same time. XD; I feel like I did a decent job, though. I didn't actually get around to doing very much underhandedness, though. ^^ I just mostly told people's plans to everyone else. I started out with mostly Ghostbusters and Zombie Hunters, but then I really got to work with the Phantoms later in the game Of course, working with you guys made that inevitable betrayal even better. ;D I think I talked with the Zombies like twice, and then we fell out of touch. I didn't know if you guys thought I was suspicious or a threat or what, but. XD Not gonna lie, I had no idea what challenge I was taking on when I decided to join all four teams. You guys were all forces to be reckoned with. I highly doubt I could have done this all singlehandedly, which is why I was glad that I was able to conspire with someone else (whose name I will not reveal >_>; ) later in the game. Made everything much easier for the most part. =3 All in all, I really admired all of your dedication to the game. Well played, everyone. ...I think it's safe to say I won't be attempting to pull a four-way team backstabbing combo again any time soon. XD; Oh Icon, you have no idea how glad I am to hear you were a traitor XD;; The reason why you only talked to us (or I guess me XD) a few times is because as soon as you asked to be a Merc, I instantly labeled you as SUSPICIOUS and the rest of Zombies agreed. XD The only reason I suspected you was because of the role you wanted to play last year, which I read in the afterparty thread (seriously! good source of information!) was also a traitorous role and you felt that you didn't successfully play that role. Thus, I assumed that you'd want to try it again, so we asked you to just heal us, never gave you any of our plans, and you gave us what the other teams were doing (which matched up with our own reports so we could tell that for the most part you were giving us truthful information, only we mostly knew about it by that time so you confirmed it for us =D) Also you signed up late, so I think that didn't help either. XD But I'm glad you were a traitor because if you were loyal to us, I would've felt very bad XD; But we didn't want to risk it. =D YES I was a very bad double merc. For both Zombies (YAY) and GB. But I don't think GB ever trusted me, so it's okay, because I accomplished nothing. ^__^ *hands secret microphone to next merc* Zombie merc here saying the only orders I ever got were to heal Sorry Scrac D: we labeled you as suspicious, and suspicious mercs were only told to heal XD; but tahnks for healing us when needed too! XDD Eh heh heh, I have so much to say. xD A great deal of which probably won't come as a surprise to anyone, such as the fact that the only team I didn't play for at some point is the Phantoms. Obviously no one on Zombies or Zombie Hunters trusted me after Ghostbusters fell, but hey, it was still fun. =D Oh my gosh Tamia, you gave me SUCH a headache with you and the ghostbusters! XD;;; I wanted to scream at you guys so many times because of your betrayals and lack of sticking to the guns at attacking and gaaaaaah XD Honestly, (nearly) every word to you in the PM's i sent you (which I enjoyed very much =D) was the truth. My dream for this Karmageddon genuinely was for Ghostbusters and Zombies to make it to the end, with Zombies winning. I'm glad the important part of the plan - us winning- did succeed, but I wanted you guys to have silver so terribly much. XD; I'm not sure why, but I really did like you Ghostbusters. And um, I daresay I deserve a fairly large thank you card from you guys. >_> There was quite a few battles we had deciding on if we should keep our alliance with you or join Zhunters and take you out. If it wasn't for me who managed to sway the team to keep our alliance in your fickly stages, you would've been gone a lot sooner. xD We never started the attack on you, that was all Zombie Hunters (and I think Filter/Carrie might have helped out with the attack xD) but i never attacked you guys. I simply wanted to take out the Zombie Hunters, who were practically invincible at the time. And when Bettyming got down to a nice low number, you guys would quit and she would skyrocket in karma again. Oh man it drove me crazy! And speaking of Zombie Hunters, what on earth happened? Seriously! The Zombies had pegged you off as Invincible and we guessed with near assurance that you would win it all. Then you guys started to crumble and fell in karma quite a bit.. and before I knew it, I left for vacation with Celestial dangling at five karma or so XD; You guys were so powerful, and we guessed you had a bunch of mercs, I'm still quite confused as to what happened. In fact, I still don't know how Zombies won.. at all. XD; I guess Phantoms' suicide helped quite a bit, but.. yeah. Oh well, i'm not complaining! XD oh my, I seemed to have wrote a textwall. But a HUGE thank you to Dan/Ginz/Killix who put this all together! <3 You guys were amazing, and Dan/Ginz, I enjoyed our karmageddon chats <3 They were amazing, and you guys were very good at keeping the achievements secrets. (even when i bribed Ginz privately, she still wouldn't squeak! >_>) This game was absolutely amazing - and long - and it's all thanks to your incredible effort. ^_^ As well, thank you to all the other teams! The Zombies I'm sure are proud to have had you as our competitors, and it was a wonderful game. =D I'm sure there are things I'd still like to say, but this post has gone on long enough. XD; Congratulations to everyone!

That is the weirdest thing XD If I don't have at least two NTWF tabs open, I immediately freeze for a second until I remember why it seems so wrong.

None of us were great artists like Celest or Tamia who were creating avatars and... xD; Pretty sure Friday can take pretty much all the credit for the awesome art offered by the Ghostbusters this year. I barely did anything. (By the way, GB mercs: prizes. We will talk soon. xD) Oh my gosh Tamia, you gave me SUCH a headache with you and the ghostbusters! XD;;; I wanted to scream at you guys so many times because of your betrayals and lack of sticking to the guns at attacking and gaaaaaah XD Honestly, (nearly) every word to you in the PM's i sent you (which I enjoyed very much =D) was the truth.

Then you guys started to crumble and fell in karma quite a bit.. and before I knew it, I left for vacation with Celestial dangling at five karma or so XD; You guys were so powerful, and we guessed you had a bunch of mercs, I'm still quite confused as to what happened. ...Man, every year. Everyone always thinks my team is the traitorous one. xD; We really weren't that bad. We wanted to honour all our agreements, but it got so confusing. Basically, Zombies were our first ally. We trusted you guys from the start. Then Phantoms approached us and we were like, "=D We can do this! The Zombie Hunters are our main threat, so let's try and coordinate the three of us to take them down." We didn't tell either Zombies or Phantoms that they were part of a triple alliance, because we thought it would complicate things needlessly. Zombie Hunters were going down fast, but then we started losing karma ourselves. It didn't make sense that Zombie Hunters would be attacking us when they were in such danger themselves, so we figured we had been betrayed by one of our allies. Then, when Amnei was at about 50 karma, Celestial requested an alliance with us. We knew we couldn't be in an alliance with every team, but we were almost positive the Phantoms had broken our alliance and were behind our karma loss and we decided that we could use a temporary alliance with the powerhouse team to our advantage. We wanted to put the pressure on Phantoms to see if it would stop the karma leak. I think it did, at first, and we eliminated the first Phantoms player with help (I think?) from the Zombies. ...And then of course the Zombie Hunters recovered miraculously, Terra's conversations with Draco made us think that the Phantoms might not have been responsible for our karma loss, we felt generally guilty, Zombies and Phantoms found out that we'd been two-timing them, the attacks on us intensified, and we figured out that we had made a terrible mistake. Yep. That third alliance was totally when it all began to fall apart for us. We were easily most loyal to you guys on Zombies. xD; We could probably stand to exchange thank-you cards, really. The other teams were beginning to worry about your ridiculously high karma, and some people were saying that you guys had been attacking us, and both Zombie Hunters and Phantoms wanted to start attacking you — but I had been talking to Nova and I wanted to believe we were still allies and we honestly had no idea what to think. D: We tried to convince the other teams to help us with other goals, and I don't think the offensive against you really ever got started. Mostly because everyone started attacking us for being fickle and suspicious. =D I never attacked you guys once, though. *nods* ...Until Ghostbusters were defeated, of course. Then we were RENEGADE MERCENARIES and we basically attacked whoever was strongest. I think Zombie Hunters' defeat might have had a lot to do with us. >__> Sorry Zombie Hunters! You guys were just too powerful. Also, Celestial is an evil mastermind. We couldn't take chances with her. *cough* Also, Apr 12, 2011, 11:48am, Tamia wrote: ...Why the heck didn't I take my own adviiiiiiice

None of the ones I've been in have lasted long enough to be very useful. ...Why the heck didn't I take my own adviiiiiiiceYES! RENEGADES FTW! I feel like I spent forever smiting the Zombie Hunters down (despite nominally being a ZH merc). There was something just so... so methodical about it. ;D Also, there, there, Tamia. <3 We're always inclined toward truuuuuuuuuust..!!!! *does a little twirl*

now that i reread the comment about the thank you card, that does sound a bit... I dunno, but definitely impolite XD; I forgot that for the majority of the game we had the most karma, and naturally we'd be a threat >_>So yes, Tamia, we'll exchange thank you cards <3 Sorry if I sounded mean in my post, but I guess what I saw was a clear and cut plan and you guys had a mess of your own to deal with, only we knew nothing about it.. we just saw that ZH weren't being killed XD;
Though that Renegade Mercenaries sounds fun! =D

I could probably stand to apologize for being so confusing and flighty during the game, too, because you guys would have good reason to be annoyed with us after how we yanked you around like that. ^^; I am sorry. ...Being RENEGADE MERCENARIES was alarmingly fun, to be honest. >__>; Although mostly I just used it as an excuse to abuse Firefly quotes.

I kept wanting to attack Zombies because of the high karma, and the fact I kept being ignored when I sent PM's to you guys >.>
For most of the game at one point I just wanted Zombies and Zombie Hunters to drop karma enough so we were all close to the same karma levels.
That didn't seem to happen >.>

And speaking of Zombie Hunters, what on earth happened? Seriously! The Zombies had pegged you off as Invincible and we guessed with near assurance that you would win it all. Then you guys started to crumble and fell in karma quite a bit.. and before I knew it, I left for vacation with Celestial dangling at five karma or so XD; You guys were so powerful, and we guessed you had a bunch of mercs, I'm still quite confused as to what happened. In fact, I still don't know how Zombies won.. at all. XD; I guess Phantoms' suicide helped quite a bit, but.. yeah. Oh well, i'm not complaining! XD Guess Zombie Hunters were the next logical choice for taking down... As you said, Ghostbusters had a nice bunch of Merc, which meant a fair number of RENEGADE MERCs they'd trust and share their story of failed alliances and stupid mistakes with. Which meant that despite it was explicitly stated that ZH were great people, all Mercs loyal to GB knew that GB had died because of ZH. So ZH had to go next. As for Zombies winning... guess you guys just had more karma left in the end, since Phantoms had lost one karma holder fairly early in the game. ;D Plus everyone was ready for this Karmageddon to end...Still, you did a great job of being loyal, quietly keeping to the background and watching the battle unfold, so you deserve the win *g*

Well GB mercs got a mail from the ZH asking us to join after GB fell and I think a lot of us who went on to become renegade mercs kind of stared at the mail and went..."...what?" I actually think in an ironic twist that that mail from ZH is why at least a few of us went all renegade x)

I actually think in an ironic twist that that mail from ZH is why at least a few of us went all renegade x) I had already chosen to support Phantoms at the time we GB-mercs were told the sad history of alliances, and then the ZH sent their invitation and I couldn't help but laugh while wishing them the best. And since taking down ZH would support Phantoms, I loved being a RENEGADE MERC all the more. ;D
