It isn't a new decade. You start counting at one. You don't start counting at zero.

One (2011), two (2012), three (2013), four (2014), five (2015), six (2016), seven (2017), eight (2018), nine (2019), ten (2020).

Happy new decade in 2021.

Epi. You do what you want, but it looks like the internet disagrees with you. The majority will eat your happiness like a cold pickle in july.

Sloonei, you wanna throw down or be bffs this game? I'm good for either as long as you rub my inner thigh with a fish corpse.

Joke's on you.

I have no happiness.

Day 0 is just day 1 but with less pressures it’s like having the first negotiation phase of Diplomacy be longer even though everyone has like two options because you have to get settled in. So start from Day 0.

Joke.

Will I become two decades old if I complete 20 or 21 years?

After BC, the Gregorian calendar started at 1 AD.

1-10 AD is one decade. The second decade started at 11 AD and ended at 20 AD. And so on.

Uh, no, it's a fact. Indisputable. It's like, numbers, man.

Don't think I've seen Tony as scum, but he seems "normal".

Epi is maybe trying to do something, which is not the worst considering.

I am trying to do something.

Convince people how to fucking count.

But an actual zero and counting symbols – for example the symbol for zero – isn't the same thing. I believe most people intuitively do the latter when it comes to counting decades. And I'm too lazy/don't care enough to go all prescriptive on this, cause I don't really care.

One zero zero party over oops out of time

So tonight I'm going to party like it's 2020.

Why not "Quin and Mac" ?
Probably because that's the order I read them in the voting poll when I rechecked who's in the game.

Thanks for calling me Dizzy btw. You're a good lad.

Teammates.

Do teammates ever ask such vapid questions? Is that a thing?

I suppose you think they don't? Are you new here?

Gun on the mantle: Tony and I are teammates.

I'd like to lynch MacDougall Day 1. Can we all do that?

Why do you want to lynch Mac before Quin instead of Quin before Mac?

Mac is an asshole and Quin is nice.

sig wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 1:41 pm I think we should readjust and go after the people who are present, but weren't part of the Off topic chat earlier. But, there's probably at least one mafia member among the people arguing about the nonsense.\

We also have like four subs for this game so no reason to lynch inactive players.

linki: Yea kinda, I go through waves of how serious I am, but generally I'm the least serious as a civ and more chaotic as 3P.

This is a strange thing to say.

Are your teammates among the inactive?

I voted for Mac and called him a name and he couldn't even be bothered to reciprocate.

I'm not posting more.

Sorry.

You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

So I don't have to go to a different thread:

Spoiler: show

I was doing music stuff while the final vote came in. I'll have to review what happened exactly.

Somebody threw Creature under the bus.

Why?

And who?

And when?

And where?

And how?

I posted more.

Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 1:56 am Tony, why are you going specifically after the Fearsome Four? Do you agree with Epi that there's likely a baddie among them?

I don't really want to go after them. They all came together to lynch a baddie Day 1, in hot-potato fashion. That's good enough for me to want to look elsewhere for the next lynch.

Agree with me?

I never said anything of substance. It was a token way of getting you clowns to talking in the wake of a dead mafia member that didn't involve licking the shoes of those who voted for him. That's all.

Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 2:04 am Well, excuse me for thinking that when you said "Somebody threw Creature under the bus", that you thought someone threw Creature under the bus.

It was hypothetical.

I'd advise against communicating with the dead about on-topic matters.

I have several unread pages and still do not yet know how the Creature lynch commenced.

And I don't care right now. I'm going to have a drink and watch a little basketball, and if I'm still awake, I'll come back and work my dark magic.

I'm a civilian because I was the first to call out Creature, and I don't bus unless necessary.

I know that that's weak given I gave a few other people shit in the same way, but I was honest about it.

Do with that what you will. I'm good.

Dom wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 12:48 am is mac ok, for real though?

As I understand it, he is not.

This is the most comfortable I've been around Dyslexicon since that time in college we never speak of.

Yes, I know I'm on page 7. Leave me a lone.

Page numbers just a construct.

2020 is the last year of the second decade of this century.

staking my claim here that epi is a 3p that increases in power the more people he can get to start talking about the end/start of the decade

There was a role very similar to this in the first Game of Champions. insertnamehere had it. He was an independent who increased in ability every time someone said his name.

I said his name 25 times in a row and he got everything in his arsenal.

Good times.

Pausing at page 11. I agree on the surface Sloonei, Dyslexicon, Quin, and timmer look like genuine civilians.

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 1:55 am If I say that the Lions have a better record than the Pats this decade will Epi come yell at me?

No.

My issue is more nuanced than that. It has more to do with the way people can't count and then make a big to do about their collective mathematical errors.

I'm looking forward to arguing about this again in ten years.

Or is it nine?

And is it a sandwich?

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 6:31 pm
Question: Does scum generally put in more effort than town on this site? Cause Tony said that in one of those games.

It depends on who is one what side.

I have an important deadline in 25 minutes. I will be with you all not too long after that.

Perhaps unhelpful to most, but helpful to me. A list of non-A-listers:

Would not lynch today (in more or less this order):

Sloonei
Dyslexicon
timmer
sig
Michelle
TonyStarkPrime
Dragon D. Luffy

Would lynch today (in no particular order):

Dom
DrWilgy
Long Con
MacDougall

Shrug:
Sorsha

Lately when I am a civilian and Dom is a civilian we have been experiencing this never before experienced sense of compatibility with regard to our thoughts.

I do not feel that here.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 7:19 pm Epi was the only vote on Mac D1 (end poll).
Mac and Tony was on LC.

[VOTE: Mac] aubergine

PoE. No show. Could be scum. I wish he'd play.

I don't know if scum would be demotivated after the pretty random creature lynch. If so, that could pertain to LC too who's been here saying he should put in more effort, but then hasn't.

MacDougall is pretty competitive. I don't think he'd roll over Day 1, but I don't know if he was even around or available at the time.
