Return to “[END] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions”
I thought about that. Then suppose I was told I was unable to communicate for the Day? That wouldn't be good.S~V~S wrote:You probably could have held that until Day, Epi.
This is possibility #1. If this is the case, then he's not doing anyone any favors by attracting lynches.MovingPictures07 wrote:Homestar Runner - [Homestar Runner] - The lovable, but dimwitted star of this show. Each night, Homestar will host two players to join in his game show the subsequent day period. They will have the duration of the day period to play, and then during the night period, Homestar will declare one of the two the winner and that player will be awarded a prize. One day he can choose to sleep through the phase, thereby making himself unlynchable but causing his vote not to count either, and one night he can sleepwalk, thereby allowing him to follow another player, discovering whom they targeted.
This is possibility #2. If this is the case, then he's not doing anyone any favors by attracting lynches.MovingPictures07 wrote:MacGyver - [MacGyver] – Cannot be lynched while Penny is alive.
This is possibility #3. However, I cannot see Mycroft Holmes saving anyone on Day 1 (except the Three Amigos saving one of their own).MovingPictures07 wrote:Mycroft Holmes - [Sherlock] – Sherlock's brother, and high-ranking member of the British government. Can save someone from lynch three times, but not himself, and not the same player more than once.
This is possibility #4. If this is the case, then lynching him Day 2 will be fruitless.MovingPictures07 wrote:Dr. Fetus - [Super Meat Boy] – The game’s antagonist, Dr. Fetus, is truly evil. Every night, he hides Bandage Girl within a level that he has engineered to confuse Meat Boy; he must choose which level by the end of each day period. If she is found, he flees and tries again. Dr. Fetus cannot be lynched until Meat Boy is successful in finding Bandage Girl a fourth time.
This is possibility #5. Assuming a "doubter" is someone who has voted for Sander Cohen, then I think it just got really hard for him to win if this possibility is correct.MovingPictures07 wrote:Sander Cohen – [Bioshock] – Controller and head of Fort Frolic, Cohen is an artist gone mad, to say the least. Now that he has finished his masterpiece, the Quadytch, he is content, only angered by those who dare to doubt him. He survives the first two attempts on his life, whether by lynch or by nightkill. Every odd night, he may use his camera to take a picture of any deceased individual, revealing their role to him. Wins by surviving, but only if everyone else alive has never doubted him.
I do not know how our host has retooled Zodac for this, but I am acutely aware of how this independent functioned originally. Zodac will want to make one of his targets the individual most likely to receive the most votes so that he can kill someone else.MovingPictures07 wrote:Zodac – [Masters of the Universe] – The Cosmic Enforcer (Secrets)
So he's got a machine, right?Hedgeowl wrote:insertnamehere wrote:But, first, I'd like to thank Epignosis. Without her, none of this could be possible.
This does not bode well.
I was just getting ready to write that I don't think I've ever voted for Vompatti before, and now seems to be a solid time to do it.Hedgeowl wrote:Well it looks like inh made a good target today. I will be sad to see him go, but hope everyone is right about his role.
I dont really like the VAL voting bloc that seems to follow every game regardless of alignment. (This may be because they lynched me once) I dont get a baddie vibe from Lizzys game, but Vomps seems very quiet although present and now posting in Spanish. I am throwing my vote on him to participate more cause I know he has it in him.
Votes Vomps
Lo siento al wombat.
There's a very good reason for that.blindfaeth wrote:Just seems like he's not being a team player I suppose.
I didn't do it to mock you.S~V~S wrote:This going out of the way to mock me by saying that name over and over, or quoting quotes of it, is making me sad. I am not sure if that is the intention, but that is the effect.
We don't all agree on each others theories, but not mocking them would be nice.

Work was annoyingly busy today, so i concentrated on keeping up with the other thread since the poll ended earlier.
I am gonna vote for Mr. Machine, his reaction to the suggestion was over the top IMO.

No, but it doesn't mean anything.Mongoose wrote:Epcot has all of that!thellama73 wrote:I'm not sure if Florida is central between Finland, Transylvania, Kentucky, Washington DC, Virginia, South Carolina, Michigan and wherever else these maniacs are from.Mongoose wrote: Linki Llama - It's not illogical if we all meet in a central location, like Florida.
Anyway, can't anyone think of a reason Lizzy vowed her undying vote to Put Moniker Aqui?
If he wanted focus, I gave him enough. You want to move on. You have my persimmons.DharmaHelper wrote:Steering towards what? The theories that have gone around seem to be within the realm of "Dude needs people to talk about him/Dude is taking up focus for some reason" So I pointed out how despite that, people keep giving him attention/focus.thellama73 wrote:I understand that, and I've been there, but I find the way you've gone about it a little too aggressive for comfort.

linki: I can't read lizzy either, but in general the more normal she seems the more I think she is likely to be baddie.
Now how would I know who Media is? That's a silly thing to ask.Mongoose wrote:Were you willing to do that because you know who Media actually is and it's not INH?
Let him.S~V~S wrote:A sobering statistic~ we have mentioned Mr Piano Scanner 32 times so far. And I used the abbreviation for his name so as not to catch his quotes.
I don't know that he is that role, but he is trying to garner attention, IMO.
I made a pact with Eloh in Lost on RM because I could tell she had no BTSC. I was right and always have been right and those who never listen to me in that regard need a spanking.Mongoose wrote:It reminds me a bit of when you made the non-aggression pact with Eloh (I think that was on Rev?) and then also (as best I recall) you saying you would strongly consider following someone's vote in WWE (maybe even mine).Epignosis wrote:If you're trying to be subtle, I don't know what you are asking.Mongoose wrote:No pics plz.DharmaHelper wrote:A turd with a top hat is still a turd.
The Stigmata of Lizzy is really bothering me too. It's so weird. I can't even
Epi - Does Lizzy's behavior seem like something you might have done in recent games? It seems a bit familiar, but I can't place it directly.
It's a big Fear & Loathing blur for me as I've overdone it a bit and that's why I'm on break other than this game. Note: I'm not asking as a way to call you out but in hopes that you may be able to successfully psycho-analyze our little giraffe.
linki - What is that all about. Weirdest rapport ever.

Nevinera wrote:You guys noticed bob is on the role list, right? Is anyone else surprised by that? I'm wondering how in the world he could lose, and also how baddie teams will behave knowing that it is almost a certainty that Bob will take one of their members sooner or later.
You guys can't trust your btsc teammates, and that's bound to make you less effective.. we should keep an eye out for the infighting that event will spawn, and for people that are suddenly granted correct 'suspicions'. Oh, and you baddies should keep this in mind - if your teammate is 'distancing ' himself, it might not be for the good of the team. :-)
You may be an expert in data analysis, but you are certainly no expert on Bob.Nevinera wrote:My advice to the baddies was both good advice *and* good for the civs if the baddies follow it.
The thing is, Bob and the baddies are going to be at odds very quickly, and I'd much prefer that they realize that
each other are their first threats and leave off picking on civs for a while. Otherwise, the baddies will work against the civs
for the first 5-6 days and then Bob will have critical mass and beat them all using the inside information he will by then have acquired against them,
much like I used my knowledge via Epig against his team in bioshock.
This game, unless we are very lucky, will be about Bob.
If I were Bob, and I nabbed an evildoer who had a team, I wouldn't want to kill their team. I would want to assimilate them, starting with the killers. Bob doesn't need the evil teams dead to win- he needs to outnumber them and everyone else.MovingPictures07 wrote: • Bob – [Twin Peaks] - Wow, Bob, Wow. On even nights, can possess someone. That person will join his team and they gain BTSC. Bob himself cannot kill, but his minions can, unless they are under suspicion. Bob's minions collectively can NK someone every night, unless they receive at least one vote. To win, Bob and his minions need to outnumber everyone else. Minions can still use their NP, and even have BTSC. If Bob is killed, only his minions remain.

You know what? You once sipped Red Stag out of a Days Inn paper cup. That makes you awful.
I also LQTM at DH's most recent post.
I'm glad we are going to get down to business and vote for the most suspicious person, but I'm equally glad it looks like we are going to have a little fun doing it along the way.

I bought Bioshock because of MP's game. It was one of the greatest video game experiences ever. I still reminisce about it.Russtifinko wrote:I agree with this completely.

I watched Sherlock solely because of the Sherlock game.
I read American Gods solely because of the AG game.
I watched my first episode of Thomas the Tank Engine because of that game.
I saw my first Teen Girl Squad greatness because of Homestar Runner.
I really wanted to see you wiggle your way out of that one.MovingPictures07 wrote:As to my vote, even though it doesn't count in this game, my best performance would have to be Masters of the Universe, despite the fact that I did not win, and in my opinion made at least one fatal, tactical flaw.
Getting to play alongside Snow Dog in his first game ever and constantly scheme with my epic team of six all throughout playing that truly epic game was something else -- and then to get to play the outed baddie for a few day periods on top of that was the icing on the cake.
I went out of my way to mimic my civvie game with so much effort that game and to this day I think it is one of my finest performances, if not my finest, up until my fatal mistake of not throwing Snow Dog under the bus and instead trying out a very risky gambit. The fact that FH protected me Night 1 amazed me upon reveal at endgame discussion. I can't believe my game could have ended that quickly otherwise.
Really enjoying all of the discussion, it must be said. Interesting to see which games players think showcase their best this year, regardless of whether they won, and why. Fun to reminisce too. So many amazing games hosted this year.

You won McGyver. That seems to fit this description, except the role list has Kate as an Independent. But in your post below that you say Kate, Dex, and BWT were on your team so that must be it.juliets wrote:Hi everyone!
I don't know how ya'll remember so much detail about your roles! For example, in Masters of the Universe all I can remember is having a link through bf to the civv bts was a blast and how MP drove me crazy as an outed baddie. I can't for the life of me remember what I did! I remember one game where I was bad - Kate was one of the people bad with me - and we all had extra bts occasionally with a random group of people to decide who to vote for i think. I can remember I had to fool people into thinking I was good and it seemed hard everytime i had to do it, and felt especially bad about some people like Rusti. That game, whatever it was, is the one I remember doing the best in. Now what game was that guys? I cant remember to save my life.
Ok, I'll do some thinking and maybe some perusing those past games to see if i remember which one that was.
Grimm's was one of the funnest games ever, especially because of the creative sock puppet accounts. I loved being Rhinfrew Flowingrass and making jokes about not having any legs.thellama73 wrote:Even though I didn't vote for it, I also want to give a shout out to Grimm's for being one the most fun games ever. From the roleplay and fantasy speak of my first role, to the ridiculously devious nature of my second, I had an absolute blast in that game and was only disappointed that it had to be called off just as my team was on the verge of winning.
Is it weird that my two favorite games so far have both had sock accounts?
