Thanks Rico. I was taking that seriously and wanted to help put it together but haven't had any time.

WB Jack and happy role-changing to all that died.

....More insanity. I'm still immune.

Why do you think that you posting a lot will free Jack?

I'm not sure why we decided to vote Wilgy but I'll go along with it I guess since I have no other ideas.

sure is a lot of gibberish going around huh

So what if we don't get to 100 posts lol

An eventful night I see. This 100 post thing is annoying but I figure we'll all just vote for DDL anyway. I'm doing so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_number Uhhh okay. This is a pretty weird thing.

wot tha hecke

LC's and DDL's roles both suck so I'm happy to eliminate either of them. I'm going with DDL's as the higher priority because I would not want to suffer Rico's fate (and I wouldn't want the other curse either).

But you were wrong about being the only role with a passive limitation. Still, yours is strictly worse because 72's limitation is very similar but at least gets to be on three teams.

...Right, my vote doesn't count anyway. Symbolic support then.

It's more like a step below a vanilla civ.

The "me getting the only role like this" part is what irks me the most. If there were like ten "whammy" roles, that'd be one thing, but one in a hundred just feels like G-Man's RNG urinating on my head.
i never thought i'd be voting to lynch someone out of pity but here we go

Yeah same, I'll bite.

I also got the singing thingy and will almost certainly not be doing it. Not easy for me to fit in today and I'm not keen on doing that sort of thing in general. I think having to get punished for not doing it is stupid and unfair. Screw you, THE GAME.

@Dom: I'm actually not sure whether Rico is on my team. I thought he was at first but I now think I'm wrong.

More importantly, how is voting Ricochet a cop-out? And why do you feel so strongly about it?
It feels weak because of the way the idea of voting for him came up in the thread yesterday and the way a few people have so easily latched onto it. Idk, to me it just feels like one of those cases of D1-thoughtless-bandwagoning syndrome. Speedchuck voted for Rico because he hates the gimmick, and then Sloonei just jumped on with that because he didn't have any other ideas. Soon everyone will just be lazily wandering into the thread and going "oh, looks like people are voting rico, cool, I'll do that too, whatever" and boom that's how most lame-ass day 1 lynches that go nowhere get started.
It "feels" weak.

Were this an actual Mafia game, I might concur, but it isn't. As far as I'm concerned, Rico could get lynched every Day from here on out and I wouldn't care.

I bet you'd care if you happened to suffer some kind of adverse effect from his role getting lynched.

Aside from what other people have said, I'm curious as to what your voting criteria is. Rico is not on my team, and his posting contributions are not as interesting, fun to read, or engage-able as everyone elses. I'm playing this particular game to have fun, and so I'm voting for the person with the least fun in their posts.

I don't need to cop out, though. There won't be any voter analysis in this game. There is no scum.

Fair enough.

My only counterpoint is that there is always a possibility that lynching a particular role poses some threat. Just a quick skim of some of the roles shows that much. But I suppose if you have no particular reason to fear such an effect from Rico over anyone else (and you most likely wouldn't at this stage) your reasoning is fine.

His "wolf" thing is little more than a joke (though I imagine he'll try to stay consistent in going after the people he's named, but I'm guessing he chose them somewhat randomly at the beginning). Anyway, for anyone who has played with Rico recently, there is no good reason to vote for him. On the other hand, I do understand why you guys are rather flippant about the day 1 vote as long as it's not someone on your team, given the unorthodox structure of this game, so I can't particularly argue against anyone's personal choice to vote Rico other than that I think it's a weak reason. And it's not like I have any particular ideas as to who constitutes a threat at this point either.
Does your teammate Ricochet have a good role, nutella?

I don't know his role.

Cool, good to know.

What is this, a crossover episode?!

First!!

It's terrifying and exhilarating to see THE GAME in action after all these years.
