Game O'Champeens Spectator chat is open~

I think if Golden doesn't get lynched early in this game, he will win. Doesn't matter what team he is on. It's just a pattern I've seen.

Yeah, he's been on a roll this year. Hard to believe he's won so many times without becoming a Day/Night 1 target.

So I already know someone's role in this game, does that mean I cannot post in here?

No u SVS! You're not playing this game either!

Very nice. I think I've got a ninth place ribbon lying around here somewhere. All my victories were years ago at other forums.

Sup. I think the only game I've played with you was Recruitment, where, if I recall, you were killed D1/N1 for some reason. I hear you are legend doe

this thread is spoiled, deadies will be coming in, although we will ask that they don't reveal teammates.

Let me put up a poll.

Do you not remember me being partially responsible for your lynch in Pikmin?

What's with the legend thing? You said the same thing in Pikmin, who told you that nonsense

?

#19

So rude G-man, so rude. I'm still a wee little lad

#20

Typhoony wrote:So rude G-man, so rude. I'm still a wee little lad

Yes, but we don't need to hear about your package.

You may not be old by age but you've been around the mafia block a few times. You go pretty far back if I recall correctly.

#21

That doesn't make me a legend. More of an idiot for still playing

#22

Typhoony wrote:That doesn't make me a legend. More of an idiot for still playing

I hear you there. I went on a three-year hiatus and still couldn't stay away for good.

My name is G-Man and I'm a mafiaholic...

#23

You got your 3-year badge of not playing and you still relapsed? Poor you

Hosts: Can we assume that there are no rezzes in the game seeing as Dead Players will enter here?

#24

Nope, no rezzes. Dead is dead.

oh lol I forgot I even played that game, I was killed so early. Thanks for reminding me, and thanks for instigating my needless death.

So make that 0/8 games I have won here

#26

But you get NKed more than lynched iirc(I seem to recall NKing you at least once myself) which means the baddies fear you.

So you must be doing something right

Hah, if you say so

. I just talk a lot

#28

Are the Hosts going to keep scores for guessing baddies throughout the game via the poll, with the overall winner getting a special banner?

Introducing.... ChampsKings!!!!

Sounds like too much work

#30

Yeah I can post the daily winner results in the first post. I can prolly wheedle a banner out of LC

I really like watching games I have found, lol. Helps build the skills.

#31

I'll try to keep a spreadsheet and post some vote analysis once we reach Day 4. See if the ol' Technicolor Vote Analysis can still find the baddies.

#32

So do Golden and Mac always go back and forth like this in every game they play?

It's like a sport to them

It's true. They really can't help themselves

#34

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in and say hello.

I haven't really read any of the game, though I've read some of the most current page. I'm intrigued and wanted to start properly reading, but I doubt I will due to lack of time and an insane post count. What a talkative thread!

#35

We will run the baddie poll until the end of day 1, I will post results in here & restart the poll. We can compare results at the end.

#36

Ug, I just realized that lynch poll votes are changeable. I'll wait until the final poll is posted before adding anything else to my spreadsheet.

When did changeable votes come into vogue? I remember being able to change votes on the STV forums but I don't recall it being a popular thing anywhere else I played before my hiatus. The analytical accounting nerd in me hates it but the scheming feb in me likes the potential chaotic nature of it.

#37

Do we have any spectators who have a way to get in touch with Hamburger Boy? He has not been onsite in over 2 weeks, and probably does not know we started.

#38

Ask someone from whatever forum he came from.

Changeable votes have only recently come into fashion I think G-man. It took some time for me to get used to it but I actually think I quite like the concept. It is a mess for voting order graphs though.

#39

I can contact HamburgerBoy on RYM. Surprised no one else has done so. I'll do it now.

#40

When changeable votes started to be experimented with, by Epi if I remember correctly, I hated them. Seemed like a more baddie-friendly feature than civilian-friendly to me.

Since playing on RYM and other sites throughout 2015, I began to see the merit of changeable votes, and over time I've actually warmed up to them, and now I prefer them. Never thought that day would ever come... it took some time to convince me of their benefit, but playing on RYM especially I saw how changeable votes allow civilians to better put pressure on players and more flexibly vote up through EoD. They also can be effectively used to make mafia uncomfortable as much as, if not more than, civilians. In addition, they can be cast when players are afraid of missing the deadline, but changed if that player does in fact make it before EoD, a situation I've been in before and sometimes wished I could change my vote when votes were nonchangeable. That said, there are definitely pros and cons for both.

Also, regarding Ricochet's weird behavior, has anyone considered that he might be Sidoh from Death Note?

Sidoh wins if he both makes his existence known to everyone and retrieves his Death Note from whoever has it; assuming he has completed both, he can then win with any team.
Sidoh – A shinigami whose Death Note was stolen, he searches for Ryuk every night to retrieve his notebook. If he finds Mello, something happens. As a shinigami, he cannot be harmed by humans, nor can he be seen by humans who have not made contact with his Death Note. Because he is a shinigami, votes by humans in lynches do not affect him, and writing his name down in a Death Note will not kill him. Thus, he cannot be lynched or night killed. However, if he is about to be killed for the second time, although he will still not die, his existence will be made aware to everyone, outing him. Every night he searches for his Death Note, which was stolen by Ryuk. If he finds Mello, Sidoh reveals himself to Mello and they gain BTSC. Every night he must also pick four roles and publicly reveal their secrets so that everyone is made aware; all of these selections cannot be from the same team, unless only one team has secrets remaining. Once Sidoh finds his Death Note, he steals it from its current owner, ending that player's ability to kill with the notebook. As a shinigami, like Ryuk, he does not kill players using his notebook. After he has revealed all of the role secrets, more secrets are revealed, but are represented in tildes. These additional secrets are secrets that were not explicit in each player's role PM, and thus the player who has that role may or may not be aware of them. Any letters revealed among the tildes are only made known to Sidoh, not publicly. Every time Sidoh successfully solves a role's additional secrets behind the scenes, those secrets are revealed publicly in full. For every role's secrets that Sidoh solves with four or less revealed letters, both Sidoh and the player whose additional role secrets he has solved, assuming that player is still alive, gain an extra vote to be used secretly in any subsequent lynch.

The role would have to be edited to fit this game, but it's the 2015 role possibility that most explains his current behavior IMO. Turnip Head had this role in the original game, and he posted nearly 1,000 posts by the game's completion, and successfully was able to get himself lynched twice in order to satisfy his win condition.

#41

I used them in a game at HV before this forum started. I got the thought at the ASOIAF Mafia forum, where all their games are sock games (they call them alts) and they are closed set ups with changeable votes. LT, Rey & I played a few games there, but they were too clique-y.

Interesting hypothesis, surprising no one has brought it up in thread.

#42

I'm surprised as well, especially since Epi brought up Media. There are definitely players who are playing GoC, have played Death Note, and apparently not considered that role's inclusion.

#43

juliets is my top civilian read at the moment.

As to the mafia... need to mull over that some more.

#44

Alright, I've voted in the poll... with my uninformed (and probably wrong) opinions. Zebra and Epi are my top two mafia reads at the moment, but I don't feel remotely confident about that.

#45

I'm 100% with JJJ here; this is the post that has most bothered me from Zebra as well:

Curious to hear what he'll have to say when he speaks normally again.

#46

Typh, G-Man, care to explain any of your mafia reads as per your votes in the poll? Both of you can bring great insight to the table, so I'm curious what you're currently thinking.

#47

I randomly picked 10 people, thinking I'd change it at the end of Day 1.

Which I will do later

#48

I skimmed the last couple of pages. No way I'm reading all of that.

I more have a list of people that I don't think are bad than people that I do think are bad, as I usually have in the beginning

.

I dunno what's up with Ricochet, I've never played with him, but I like your theory of him acting like this because of his role, which would mean he's not bad imo.

I don't think Mac or Golden is bad right now. I don't think Juliets is bad right now. I don't think HamburgerBoy is bad right now. I don't think Black Rock is bad right now.
I'm not sure about LoRab. She reads a bit to me like she did in World Reborn, where she was civ. Sig reminds me of World Reborn play as well where he was civ. DF actually had some content in one of his posts, so I won't vote for him today either. I can't read Matt in early game at all.
LC/Wilgy/Llama/Zebra all questions marks for me. So I'll vote them.
I have no read on the cursed people, so I will leave those alone for today. So JJJ/Draco/were there more?

I think that's most of the players that were active in the last few pages...

So voting LC/Wilgy/Llama/Zebra + 6 more...
And the 6 are DH/Dom/Elohcin/Matt/MetalMarsh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Timmer I guess.

Someone should make a game where you can vote 10 people per day please.

#49

Wow, what a result! Never expected that role to be reinvented like that, but that was a genius reinvention of it.

#50

Is this role different that how it originally was?

Also, there are apparently items in the game

Do you wish to be spoiled?
