I vote Rico.

Scotty, you can still win with me instead of with Rico. That winner banner looks good on you.

Uhm, majority rules? Don't worry, you can still hit 10 wins with the Champies.

As long as I get to win along.

Already hit 10 with Star Wars. Sorry.

Goddamnit, MP didn't update the HoF.

Found the game. It was Watchmen.

It's past 1am here, where's my Death Nooote, Sidooooh!

I remember a game that started with policy lynching shenanigans, but I don't remember which one (didn't play Reborn, if that happened as well).

Long Con has been lynched. He was A TINY PLEB.
It is now Day 2.

Killing the Host requires you to become the Host.

Oh wait.

Golden was lynched and Mafia. Rico and Scotty win! Congratulations!

I can't even project why you would burn to a crisp for that - for the locals finding your vompsimpression poor or for the collective sanctioning your atypical play. But yeah, you'd most likely burn to a crisp.

Faster than I burn my omelettes, even.

Speaking of omelettes, isn't Vomps a winner? Maybe he should be the last one to join.

Welp, throwing the towel on any meta-reading, then.
Just gonna play the damn game, as always.

I'm one of the lousiest. So damn lucky to be in this tournament. If you trust me, you're doing the right thing.

Are you serious, you blew any "top civvie"- / "lead hunter"-like credibility with Omerta. (As far as I'm concerned at least...)

anyway this will all be totally incomplete meta, because I'm only reviewing what players did in their winning games. It all depends whether players will seek to bring their best again, depending on alignment, or totally evade such a thing for this special occasion.

That was a specific set of circumstances that are, I could argue, unrepeatable. I started as a civ in that game and was recruited having already accrued the civ cred.

No meta. Metaless

I misread "Omerta" as "Misfits".

Anyway, I wouldn't categorize Omerta as me being "top civvie" I just happened to be playing a game that most people weren't.

Lol, I was just ready to go pull the "Lies! Lies!" Arcade Fire song.

It doesn't matter how you would categorize yourself, it matters how it comes off looking. You took the reins, you bussed a teammate at the right time for safe measure and, as far as I detected, you only had a few doubters (like LC, I think) which were somehow removed without spreading the doubt further.

Anyway, it's all subjective rather then set in stone - but for me, despite (in your own words) "having done dick" in that game (intentionally), I really thought you were genuine whilst spectating and was shocked to see the outcome and have had issues trusting your good intentions since. You and boo probably the most, but boo's apparently not playing (or able to?).

And what have you discovered?

Nothing I can use, most likely, because I can hardly ever read into your intentions in a game.

With three players away from starting and my vacation nearly over, I'm only at Epignosis with my meta cliff notes and, of course, since Golden follows afterwards, it only makes me contemplate crying.

It wasn't that spoilery.

You should see the SW dedicated thread.

Or, rather, not.

"Every little boy"

not me. (also sexist? :small p:)

"my childhood desires"

ah, that's better


The irony I like is that
this game delivered that.

Kira should've asked, not Ryuk.

Kira couldn't ask without risking expose his identity. Besides we still won even if you didn't suicide for sheer destructive fun. And you have no idea how furious I was when you were NKed, lol.

I remember. Bastard Higuchi...

I even remember MP fooling me in PMs by leading me to believe the game will sorta end, then blamo. Guess it did technically end, but only for me.

Only lynching you will get us somewhere.

LoRab wrote:Excited to be here!! Honored to be on the list. I didn't remember what game I won, either. Monopoly, apparently. (yeah, I asked)

Monopoly was a 2014 game.

I've yet to play in a game hosted by you, though, so I stick for now to my appreciation of your playing.

Regarding the '16 Sockies, I'm not sure if I'll still qualify for New Player since I started playing in 2015 (Film Directors might have started late December, though, don't recall) or I won't qualify anymore since I joined in 2014 (in which case, Bass took that prize and I probably didn't receive a vote from anyone, who knows and I can only hope Belshazzar will win this year ), but technically I wouldn't mind receiving that award myself.

As for favourite player, you didn't play Syndicate Mafia (I roleplayed you, though, so it counts), but you should kinda looky here, particularly at the Mafia Idols section.

The Hacks are officially 2 out of 4 enrolled. Fortunately, we have TH holding the remote controls to help his two buddies out.

come back Roxy

It's still a damn shame you didn't win a single game this year, given that you always play like a champ. I don't recall it being the case, but if I screwed up a possible win for you at any time, I'm retroactively sorry.

JJJ was also a coin-toss away from not being eligible.

Golden wrote:Have you not had an actual win? It's kind of slightly criminal that you don't get a share of the win in Biblical you were a big part of that win.

I imagined G-Man would have declined the invitation, but...I think you're right

Ah crap, I fail at basic counting yet again.

I'm sure it'll be a fun time, and I do hate to be removed from a competitive roster of players like this is sure to be. It just comes at a bad time for me, unfortunately. Besides my continuing post-Talking Heads burnout, I am really busy this whole month. Plus I'm going on a trip to Austria the last week of December, and we all saw how I behaved in a Mafia game when I was in Sweden.

Austria is boring. You can perfectly Mafia on the phone whilst skiing or attending a concert.

Yes, let's take our eyes off Dharma for a second GoC in a row...

I'm feeling surprisingly ambivalent towards the closed setup format (compared to witnessing the entire potpourri that was conceived) proposed for this one. I have no doubt the melange will be all in there and it'll be hella awesome, but it'll be way harder during the game to figure out what you're dealing with (except, partially, if one is in a mafia team).
