The Syndicate

I had a kill. sig had a block. sig said "wanna?" and I said, "Okay."

I had two roles the entire game. 69, with the fun sexy songs. I loved that role.

And 22, where I had to die. That's it.

And yes, get over there.

I mean, I know I got killed, so I won that thing, yay, but the other thing okay.

I feel like that guy on The Price is Right who didn't know what he won or why.

LETS GET IT ON....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My feelings

I am however very happy to see G-Man killin' the game out here hosting like a legend.

Just giving my old pal DH a hard time. I miss playing with you.

It's Mod. Lowercase d. We moderate things. We don't always make them easy (which is literally what a "facilitator" does).
I don't hate the name. It's just a really sophisticated way to describe what we do.

My problem with this stems from the fact that I wrote an unpublished novel 15 years ago that predicted that teachers would no longer be called teachers, but "facilitators."

What are we called now?

"Facilitators of Learning."

Bullshit.

I'm not a facilitator.

I don't make things easy.

I'm a Challenger.

But teacher works fine.

Naw straw hat, you don't get iiiiit.

After the button switch, primes lost sig, and then they lost Marmot, nutella and Kyle to the flu, all on consecutive Days, and Chief Khon is like spazzing out in the Chatzy, thinking the Primes are being cherrypicked or something.

Then "their ticket to an easy victory" gets killed by a couldn't-care-less rogue player in the game and Chief Khon is acting "echhhh you were never a vero Prime anyway" (cuz I didn't kiss his godfather ring the day I arrived or something) and "some birdy told me it was a strategic kill, with no ill effects in the balance".

Such loss. The humanity.

Oh, I didn't kill you.

I merely facilitated the kill to ensure that nothing unfortunate happened to your killer.

I replaced into this game a week ago, compared to everyone else's 2 months. Winning this game on a personal level isn't exactly my primary objective.
So you want to win on a metaphysical level? A moral level?
Actually that's a much better idea.

From now on my votes can only be bought by whoever does the most impressive good deed during the day phase.

I'm thinking right now that Dom is going to be lynched.

Nineteen cycles.

Nineteen Days and Nights.

That's 55 days.

Nineteen cycles you let speedchuck live, out of cowardice and self-preservation.

But now, you couldn't let me just sit in my chair, read my Owen Meany and not have a worry in this game no more?

Now you decided to bite the bullet. Much brave.

So yeah, I'm Team Fuck Off for whoever's asking.

I have no opinions, questions, answers, or solutions.

I rescind my offer if speedchuck can die.

"thought"

Epi might have to wait until the very last second to vote for Speed, which could be tricky due to the conniving fuckers on the Prime team.

Next phase, I can be around. I am good at voting last.

Because I want to win. I thought it'd be a good idea to give this duty to the guy that doesn't care about winning.

It's not just about caring about not winning. I think I can honestly help here.

Next phase, let me lynch speedchuck, however that happens, and then please kill me until I say stop. That would actually help me.

I do not.

All I ask in return is that I get killed (not one kill a night- I want all the kills) until I say stop.

Never mind. I think I get it. Look, if you bitches can set up the poll in such a way that my vote on speedchuck does what it is supposed to do, I will cast it. Just tell me when to be here and when to vote.

My motivation in this endeavor is waning. If someone can give a simple example that a drinker can understand, go for it.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:25 pm I have access to the Lucky 7's kill, and I'd be happy to continually use it on you.

Then we have a deal.

My understanding is that I have to be the LAST voter on speedchuck, is that correct?

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:22 pm 1. The primes winning due to a clear numbers advantage would be boring.
2. Speedchuck coasting to phase 2 simply because no one can eliminate him would be boring.
3. Impervious roles like Speedchuck's only serve to eliminate possible game outcomes, making the game more boring.
4. If I'm not in the Primes, and I want to win, Speedchuck will have to go eventually. I think it's fairer for someone who isn't devoted to winning the game to jump on the Speedchuck grenade than watch someone work hard only to lose to a dumb overpowered role mechanic. Picture an endgame where it's three active players on one team versus Speed on one team. One of those players would essentially have to sacrifice themselves, and that'd make anyone unhappy to go all that way only to lose for IMO BS reasons.

I will do this, if and only if people kill me until I say stop.

I've thought about it. I will vote to kill speedchuck if and only if you can convince me that his death is necessary for your happiness.

Otherwise, it's a no go.

Or Waiting for Godot.

There's literally no reason for you to not do this, (unless you're lying) other than pure obstinance.

If you want to sit in your corner in self-satisfaction instead of actively improving the game for every other person, feel free.

But it makes you a poser.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2017 11:43 pm i'm more like Michael Douglas in Falling Down at this point, except instead of something from the breakfast menu, I just want to get rid of Speedchuck's dumb unbalanced role, due to it personally annoying me. Seeing as I have nothing to do in this game other than wait to be reincarnated in a relevant and interesting role, i'm just going all in.

What makes it unbalanced? It would be bad, I guess, if speedchuck didn't claim it. But he claimed it, and nobody has disputed it. What is the harm in just ignoring him? Is he going to win the game all by himself?

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2017 11:36 pm hey epi are you doing that thing where you make an argument more and more nebulous to try and make it where no one bothers to read it anymore

cause you can just say "i wanna win the game, so i'm not eliminating speedchuck," and save me some consternation.

I don't get your preoccupation with speedchuck. So you can't lynch him. So what? Ignore him.

That isn't an offer either. That's asking a favor of me. That would be me offering YOU something.

I don't care if I win. Just because I don't care if I win doesn't mean I'm going to serve you or anybody else.

I went through your entire post history (77 posts at the time) looking for your "offer."

I didn't see any offer. The post you quoted here isn't an offer.

I'm not refusing to answer your post. You called it an offer, but you've offered me nothing. In my more generous reading, I took it as a rhetorical question.

Call me whatever suits you. I didn't do what I did to try to win or gain an advantage. I popped in and stirred the pot because I had nothing else to do at the moment (the NBA game I was watching had ended). I saw there was a tie, and I decided to break it. If somebody had a plan and I took a dump all over it, then even better.

Switch your vote from Speed to JoH which ruined my little gambit and lead to no one getting lynched, and speedchuck remaining in the game.

Hey Epignosis. You've smarmed off about not caring about winning the game due to its inherent inferiority. Care to put your money where your mouth is by eliminating Speedchuck and removing a broken, overpowered part of the game that'll make it more tolerable for the rest of us?
I was about to be lynched. I did not want to be lynched.
I was attempting to get the people voting for you to switch their votes. This would have resulted in you not getting lynched, and speed being eliminated.

Instead you got skittish, and fucked everyone, including yourself over.

Of course, I didn't expect eleventh hour aggressively irreverent Epignosis.

Sorry I smarmed all over your plan.

Epi, I agree... in fact, I love most of them. But Shakespeare's verses are, for me, the best in the whole series.

I'm on team Seuss for that one.
