Oh wow. That's a terrible typo. I meant to say 'Tyler', not 'Jack'. Please forgive my foolishness, and feel free to laugh at me.

I haven't been to New Castle or Penns Grove yet, but I think I'll hit up the last Deleware location I haven't been to yet. New Castle it is!

Let's say Llama is bad.
Let's say you lose the fight.
How do we know Llama won't become stronger?
I'm not sure he's bad, but I certainly am not trusting him right now. Not one bit.

I can understand your case. I was proposing the argument of having people who we know are stronger fighting people that we do not trust/don't feel good about. Also, from what I could tell from my fight, I don't think one's fighting level is the be-all, end-all of these fights. In fact, from the one fight I've had so far, I don't think it's factored in at all. At least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't in my fight. If it does mean anything, it might be equated to the degree that the victor defeats/hurts the loser.

I'm not 100% sure on llama (would lean towards not trusting), but the one person I know for a fact I do not trust is DH. I was willing to go along with him and his voting bloc at one point, but now I don't think I want to. To me, he seems to be trying to make it an 'us vs. them' grouping in terms of blocs of people travelling around together. When in reality, this game is about the Police vs. Jack and his recruits. One of those groups has to be dead or recruited in order for the game to end, and I think trying to form voting blocs is counter-intuitive to that.

If I see DH again, I will probably vote for him to go up against somebody who is powerful. Because he's the only person I've seen so far who I feel could be a recruit or Jack.

Bye Devin! Welcome DP!

Also, I want to apologize for not being around the last few days. Work schedules and rl stuff have gotten in the way. Later today, I should have a bit more free time to devote to the game though.

Also you just lost if you read this post. :P

And LC, I will consider a vote for you, since you were the first person to volunteer.

I would actually be more in favor of picking someone to fight llama at this point. I really don't trust him, and it wouldn't surprise me if he is a member of Project Mayhem. Anybody willing to throw their hat into the ring with him?

Yeah, I had absolutely no time for mafia at all today. And I'm way too tired to bother reading anything right now. I'll try to if I can tomorrow. I definitely would have gone back to Delaware City if I had had a chance to come in and vote though.

Good luck to both fighters! And go Sorsha! I'm only rooting for you because I voted for you, but otherwise I'm unbiased. :P

You know, I was wondering why we hadn't seen a host post and why it was still daytime. Then I looked and realized the poll ends tomorrow, not today. Whoops!

</3

Well crap! I thought there was someone else, but I missed have missed your comment when I went back and checked. Sorry, MR! If I get a chance to do so later, I will remember to vote for you.

I've decided that instead of llama, I'm going to vote for somebody who is wanting to fight and hasn't yet. Since bullz has 2 votes already, I'll go ahead and give Sorsha her second vote. Since from what I remember, they were the first two to volunteer.

Votes Sorsha

I don't think you have the guts to pick me.

I do, but I can't tell if you're trying to goad me into voting for you or not.

thellama73 wrote:Oh, and MP, I can edit my posts.

Not that I would ever dream of doing such a thing.

That's because you're not one of the players who doesn't mind being modkilled.

I think if we all post what we know in the various cities we visit, then we can make informed decisions. I see DC as a baseline of sorts, but I don't trust the people there more than anyone else.

If you want to come to DC tomorrow, DH, I will be happy to travel with you.

I'm still leaning towards this strategy. And then possibly hitting up the other 2 cities, with return trips each time. I think by rotating around in such a way, it allows one to gather the maximum possibly information.

So barring unforseen circumstances, I will probably head back to DC as well.

Or better yet, we could team up and help protect those who aren't as able to protect themselves. Or don't have our rippling biceps.

I'm not sure about Aces. Hopefully he is okay (assuming he isn't Tyler).

And yeah, personally, I'd rather see two people who haven't fought yet duke it out. I was just suggesting myself v. an undesirable if we couldn't come to a consensus.

Assuming it turns into the second one, I would be perfectly fine with taking on llama. But for now, it seems that Sorsha and Bullz are also willing to volunteer. So I will consider voting for one of them as well.

Linki: Yeah, maybe being severely injured is equivalent to being silenced? Idk.

Sorsha wrote:MP- Are we allowed to discuss what fight level we are?

And on MP's answer, what is everyone's current level, out of curiosity?

I think if we are to follow llama's advice, than I want to fight again for more experience. As long as I don't kill anyone, because I don't have any strong reads on anybody yet.

Otherwise, I don't like his train of thought.

I will add in that I get the feeling that in order for Tyler to die, someone will have to fight him. And I'm sure he starts the game super-powerful, so I think even with me having fought once and being a Level 3, that I would still be severely underpowered. Plus, the only way I would volunteer to fight again right now is if you were willing to put me up against either: 1)somebody who is inactive or very quiet, or 2)somebody that most of us don't trust. Otherwise I think I'll sit out for a round.

But basically, from what I can gather, the game ends either when Tyler and all his recruits die, or when all the Policemen are dead or recruited. And I think right now, the quickest ending would come from Tyler dying. Which probably only comes from fights.

Linki w/ Bullz: I'm a badass alright. But not quite in the way I thought I was. :P

Linki w/ Timmer: Yeah, I think there's some kind of arbitrary health system in play. Not sure if we could ever figure it out though. That's a good point about llama, too. He may have earned himself my vote this time around.

Or better yet, throw me in the ring with him. I'll teach him a thing or two about saying mean things to strangers.

Bullzeye wrote:Hello Wilmington! This place seems to have had more interesting discussions than we had back in Newcastle, though maybe that's because it was kinda quiet. I find it interesting that people here were somewhat wary of voting for a volunteer while we just went with the first person to throw their name out because it was easy

Yeah, I think that's what happened with our thread. And as I pointed out, we could speculate all we wanted, but given Day 1 was us literally being thrown into the fire, I think the fact that we had someone in myself who was so eager to volunteer, everyone else just went with me to see how the fights work.

Well that's what you get for creating a complex game. Serves you right, dumbass. :P

As for me, in the thread I came from (Delaware City), Day 1 consisted of:

Me: I'm feeling risky. I think I'll volunteer to fight since we don't know what's going on. Plus, I get to be the guinea pig, and if I die, it's just one civilian down, so little to no harm for the rest of you.
*Some deliberation back and forth*
Everyone else: Okay. We'll let you volunteer. We vote for you.
Me: Thanks! I think I'll vote myself too.

So I got selected unanimously to fight, and I guess Aces got picked too with no votes, which made me think Sockface randomizes with ties for these fights.

Apparently, I won my fight, gained 2 levels, and severely injured Aces. Which makes me think that he could possibly die if he loses another fight. At least, that's my interpretation. Anyone have any other questions for me?

Also, I feel like there is someone else besides SVS who came from my same thread, but I can't remember for sure.

Linki: I know Bullz' question isn't directed at me, but as I won a fight, I will say the only thing it seems like I gained was experience.

I just have one thing to say for now:

YO WHATTUP BITCHEZ?!?!?!

I'm going to read through all of this thread and then I'll comment a bit more.

SVS: I won my fight btw.
