Welp, I missed it.

Sorry all. This is becoming par for the course in the Russti Mafia Early-Game Handbook, unfortunately. RIP MM.

Anyone wanna be my partner anyway?

Well, my top three candidates were you, Made and Llama. My thought process was as follows:

You think I'm a baddie, Made believes me to be civvie, and I'm not entirely certain llama cares.

If something positive happens, I don't want you to share in my spoils.
On the off chance that something negative happens as a result of this event, I don't want Made to suffer.
So llama is the logical choice.

Sorry, but are you admitting her that you decide people's alignment based on their feelings toward you? Does anyone else find this sketchy?

And about that Cards Against Humanity thing, may we create any response we wish or should we use an actual card from the game?

Not at all what I said. I said I don't want good things to happen to people who want to lynch me, nor do I want bad things to happen to people who don't want to lynch me.

I'll vote you, Russ.

I was totally wrong about MM. I didn't really evaluate any of the cases before leaving, but his wording pinged me, so I went with it. I don't have a better reason than that.

#504

RIP MM

I don't understand the white card thing? What do we submit?

I chose Snow Dog as my tag partner because he chose me. If you can't get down with that I got two words for ya!

#505

Check the "Basic Rules" of CAH here. You can PM an existing white card (look online) or you can make up your own.

#506

I am so sorry Aardvark

I do hope you get your rezz.

I picked FZ for my tag team partner I hope you are ok with that FZ!

#507

Ugh I always complain about other people not participating and here I am not participating. Too much going on so I apologize guys

RIP MM

#508

RIP MM.

I feel like I am back in elementary school P.E. and being the last one picked for dodgeball.

Let's see....I think I will pick made.

#509

Made wrote:So...would i be bad for picking someone who already has a partner?
tag teams don't have to be teams of two ya know. It feels like lunch on the first day of school

You better pick me back

RIP MM, if rez time comes around you will be first on the list - a Civvie that can choose to be unable to be nightkilled is a good Civvie to have aboard!
Picking someone who hasn't shown up yet. Brave.

She's coming, she just needed a little reminder.

Excellent choice, honey.

I'm at work, so I'll try to chatch up quietly when possible.

Guess I'll go with Hedge. She's always been really nice to me

#513

sabie12 wrote:Guess I'll go with Hedge. She's always been really nice to me

She has also not shown her face in this game yet. Good luck!

#514

Yeah I haven't participated very well either sooooo I don't wanna bring anyone down.

#515

So I haven't properly caught up but we're in Dallas so not too much further to go before I can give this game my full attention.

I see we're picking people for partners and I have no idea what's going on but I pick Daisy for my partner.

#516

I should have said last night when I cast a tag team vote that I was voting for mp. I figured what with our traveling, the lack of reliability on our part will only affect ourselves that way. That was why I picked him.

#517

Some questions for the host:

Does the Dead Collector get the powers of all the dead from the start of the game to when he first used his power? Following that, does he get all the dead from the first use to the second? Does he get the powers of those who die the night he chooses? Does he have to use the powers he collects on that night, or does he store them for use any time?

What the Gleeok?

Can the Face of Boe check statements from the entire game or just the period he uses his power? Is there any sort of policy on Lie Detector statements?

How long does Oin's fire last? Is that a one-time thing?

When Rogue steals a power, does the original possessor of the power not have it that night? If Rogue steals Concorde's power, protects someone, and that person dies, killing Rogue... can Rogue still win with the Civvies though she's dead, a la Concorde? If she copies Preacher Harry Powell or The Necromancer, does she learn the role of their kill target? How far can Rogue go with Tyler Durden?

#518

I don't see any win conditions listed, besides that Tyler Durden needs more recruits alive then non-recruits to win. I assume Tyler just has to survive until the end to win, apart from that.

Of course the Civvies will have to eliminate both baddie teams to win, do they need to kill any/all of the Independents?

I could go on and ask specifics, but I'll just ask: What are the win conditions in this game?

#519

Eek! Sorry!! Totally forgot this game. Will read up tonight and say things. Many apologies.

When the Dead Collector is working, he will acquire the power(s) of anyone who dies that Night, and he will be able to use that power once at any time from then on. For example, if the Dead Collector is working on Night 1, and Players A & B are killed Night 1, then the Dead Collector will receive the powers of Players A & B to use one time whenever he chooses.

Long Con wrote:What the Gleeok?

The most difficult boss in The Legend of Zelda (NES).

Long Con wrote:Can the Face of Boe check statements from the entire game or just the period he uses his power? Is there any sort of policy on Lie Detector statements?

The Face of Boe may check a statement made at any time. Any statement checked must be a declarative statement that I, as the Host, would know the veracity of.

Long Con wrote:How long does Oin's fire last? Is that a one-time thing?

Oin lights a fire each Night. If his target has BTSC, everyone in that BTSC group is blocked for the next Day and Night phase.

Correct. It is stolen for that Night. In essence, the target is blocked.
Yes.
Yes, but only if she steals the power and uses it on a Night during which that team successfully kills.
Depends on if she buys him flowers.

Give me a bit and I'll update the front page to make that clearer.

That leaves Hedgeowl as the only person yet to check in!

#522

Sorry, I'm sick and feel like crap, so I won't be posting today.

RIP MM

Sometimes, I swear I don't get the logic of how lynches go down here.

Roxy, thanks for picking me

<3

I know why I'm hurting all over. You want me to come up with a different reason?

I'm going back to bed. I hope I can be more active when the day starts.

Why are you sick?

Who made you sick?

What is the precise nature of your symptoms?

Have you seen a physician?

Should we be worried?

Are you contagious?

#524

I picked rey for my trash team.

I hope I did that right. I'll get settled in tonight. Last night ended up with me and twenty other people heading over a mountain pass that had an Avalanche earlier that day in shuttles. Wasnt fun.

#525

Tag team.

#526

How come you weren't this concerned about my trip to the hospital, llama?

#527

zeek wrote:How come you weren't this concerned about my trip to the hospital, llama?

You're fine. Quite whining.

#528

*QUIT whining.

#529

Reasons why I picked zeek as a partner.

1. He has cracked a rib and is in much pain.
2. He is on drugs.
3. He is a fellow Britisher. Jawohl!
4. His avatar is David Tennent.

#530

Those are all sound reasons snowy. I would have had zeeky on my list too but the beautiful BR voted me before I got through it all.

Thems he breaks.

#532

I hope Lorab catches up enough to know she should vote for me before the poll ends!

#533

You'd be on my list too, bea

Here's a snap me and Snowy took today:

#534

No way Zeeky. I'm sure you two are waaaaay cuter.

More like this:

One of them is even appropriately "snowy"

As a sort of compromise:

Night 1: Familiarity Breeds Contempt

Just as the thirty champions had chosen partners, the world began to change.

“Leaving already? You suck!” cried Triple H. “But the challenge is still on!”

His voice faded, as though absorbed by magic.

The fifteen teams recognized the train station.

“This looks rather familiar.”

“Familiar?” Vompatti said as a black rat scurried by. “Or Animagus?”

“I’m not going to find out,” a businessman who was otherwise in a hurry said, and he planted one Italian loafer on the creature. It squeaked and died. “Awful vermin, yes?”

“Butt that was just a black rat, mister!” cried Vompatti.

The man in the suit laughed. “Looks like a little black rock now!”

Black Rock has been killed by Mr. Boddy.

++++

All votes will remain changeable.

++++

The WWE Tag Team Event:

Players will be in teams of two. During Day 2, people cannot post again until after his or her partner has posted. Either person can post first. Each post out of turn results in a point for the five teams that posted prior to the mistake. The team with the highest number of points by Day's end cannot be targeted that Night for a kill.

It is now Day 2. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

RIPIYWG Black Rock.

Lets do this llama

#541

Bloop, it's your turn, sug.

Black Rock was kind of a weird pick.

#542

RIPIYWG BR.

Well, this is a pretty cool posting contest. It's not about who has the most posts as so many of the other posting contests I have seen. And yet, how much you post will factor in as you will want to be within one of the five most recent posts.

#544

Juliets <3 :3 we gots this

#545

Yeah, Elo, I'm more interested in how this is going to mess with the dynamic of how fast the game is going. Like thread is already moving fast, with Dh and llama have first and second in terms of number of post also being on the same team will it get faster or slower.

As for strats RE elo: Large meaty post with tons of information less frequent to avoid giving the other teams points or mosting often to maximize the possibility of earning points for us?

#546

BR being killed surprises me. I think I need to reread her. And I hope Bass stops his low posting ways~

#547

RIP Black Rock. I will post just for you S~V~S.

As I was reading, I see the votes have changed around, and several have gone on to Boomslang that weren't there before. I've never played with him, so I don't know his supposed playstyle. I don't really know why others are voting for him other than he's acting weird. I'm also not too much getting the MM votes. I haven't seen the big pings that others seem to see, but it might also be that I can only hold so many players in mind at once.
Why did you say, "supposed play style"? The case against him has nothing to do with his play style and everything to do with his logic and inability to see the flaws in said logic.
I believe I can chalk that comment up to seeing Eloh's reasoning that his "gameplay was weird." I was marathon reading about five or six pages this evening, so I might've attributed that one comment to several people's observations. Apologies if I was mistaken.

Picking partners...reminds me of school projects. I wouldn't mind being partnered with a Mongoose if she doesn't mind
Can you see that you're mistaken now?

Just so I actually do respond to this and you don't think I'm ignoring you, yessir I do.

RIPIYWG, Black Rock

I guess I would say that posting often to maximize the possibility of earning points would be the best strategy. However, I despise filler posts that say absolutely nothing at the same time.
