Day 12 ~ 2015 Game of Champions

[MacDougall]

Who's keen to policy lynch Matt with me?

[Black Rock]

Boomslang is bad. Discuss.

If everyone agrees to lynch Golden, Boomslang, and Matt on Day 1, do you think the hosts will let us?

I only agree to this plan if Metalmarsh is included.

Or we could just lynch Metalmarsh and be done with it.

What's a Syndicate game if I'm not lynched Day 1 and you aren't killed Night 1?

Linki: Not really. His statement was accurate, since no other Game of Champions Night 0 has been more lame than this one.

I was hoping if you were lynched day 1 I might survive night 1.

[Golden]

Boomslang is bad. Discuss.

What about night zero?

That would be a new blow, my heart would break.

Well, that's blatantly wrong. Dictionary makers have gotten sloppy.

Sorry to spoil your fun, llama, but Merriam-Webster also agrees with Golden. So it goes.

Boomslang is bad. Discuss.

Sure am glad you can determine that off of one post. Surprised you haven't retired off of lottery winnings, with psychic powers like that.

But if the "case" against me, as far I understand it, is that I "buddied up" to Tranq as a Mafia defense, why aren't you including him in this list?

[Epignosis]

Lamest Game of Champions Night 0 ever.

That's acceptable, since this is the first ever (and thus only) Game of Champions Night 0. :P

That's the joke, MetalDingus.

That was only our first take and we would have done it again except I love Abigail's candid comment at the end.

Unfortunately, I cannot hear these. This is part of why we asked people not to post game related posts via Vocaroo. Could you please provide a transcript?

Thank You

Simon: you're all bad!

It was a joke post.

Sorry to spoil your fun, llama, but Merriam-Webster also agrees with Golden. So it goes.

Because English dictionaries are descriptive. Look up the word "literally."

Spoiler: show

literally
adverb lit·er·al·ly \ˈli-tə-rə-lē, ˈli-trə-lē, ˈli-tər-lē\
Definition of literally
Popularity: Top 1% of lookups

1
: in a literal sense or manner : actually <took the remark literally> <was literally insane>

2
: in effect : virtually <will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice — Norman Cousins>

Second definition. The word "literally" does not mean that at all, and yet so many people misuse the word as an intensifier that your beloved Merriam-Webster gives credence to the definition!

I will probably be voting for Boomslang for literally drowning the English language in shit.

Oooh...bonus points. "Literally" is an adverb.

[Elohcin]

haha, that wasn't Epi, sorry DH.. You're not stupid.

[DharmaHelper]

I've never thought of myself as a stupid version of Epignosis but I suppose that is apt.

[Boomslang]

Epi confimed for prescriptivist scum.

My senior paper in linguistics was entitled "The Boomhauer Effect," which basically made that case that the purpose of language is effective communication, and that rules can be broken in informal, familiar settings (as they often are), but in formal, unfamiliar settings, one should adhere to usage that will maximize your ability to be understood by the most number of people (Linguistic Utilitarianism, heh), unless you are purposely trying to be cryptic (Like in Mafia, ha).

I got an A.

[DharmaHelper]

TRANSCRIPT TO PROVE I AM NOT A CHEATER:

Owen Wilson: Wow. I'm Owen Wilson, star of such films as Night at the Museum, Shanghai Noon with my good friend Jackie Chan and I'm here to tell you that...vocaroo...is a legitmate form of posting and not to let anyone tell you any different, wow.

Me: Gee thanks for that Jac...erm...Owen. Really appreciate you stopping by.

Owen: Wow, not a problem. Anytime. Wow.

[Epignosis]

Ephrain:

Modkill for breaking the new rule AND misspelling our third child's name?

[Epignosis]

I've never thought of myself as a stupid version of Epignosis but I suppose that is apt.

She mistook you for me.

She called you ugly.

Lynch her.

[DharmaHelper]

Wow my celebrity friends really have a lot to say regarding this vocaroo scandal

I heard Owen Wilson endorsements

[Boomslang]

Anyway, back on topic. I'm going to add my strength to the Watari vote. First reason is sentimental: I was that guy! Second reason is practical: he's a great role. Even on the off chance that this poll does let us determine a role that gets added, I think he's a good choice.

[DharmaHelper]

Fuck yeah. Watari fanboys for life.

DID I HEAR SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT ENGLISH GRAMMAR??

No. You heard someone talking about usage.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Get back to your cat.

[Golden]

haha, that wasn't Epi, sorry DH.. You're not stupid.

Thank goodness it wasn't Epi, otherwise you'd have to ask why he can't tell Simon and Abigail apart.

[Epignosis]

My top suspect is Sorsha. I found her Ricochet comment superfluous and without adding anything to the conversation (not that the bar was set real high).

[Elohcin]

haha, that wasn't Epi, sorry DH.. You're not stupid.

Thank goodness it wasn't Epi, otherwise you'd have to ask why he can't tell Simon and Abigail apart.

I saw the transcript in linki and assumed it was Epi that wrote it. I didn't actually READ the thing. But I would understand him not knowing the difference. Abigail and Ephraim sound a lot alike sometimes.

My top suspect is Ricochet. But I think I suspected him early on in the last game we played together and I was wrong. I can't remember. Damn memory. I'd love to have Epi's memory, but then I might have to give up my common sense and ability to clean in exchange for it and I wouldn't want to do that. Haha...we had a new heating and AC unit put in today and the man putting it in was going to clean up after himself. He asked Epi for a broom and Epi had no clue where it was kept.

Can't have usage without grammar, fool. Get back to Ephrain Ephring Ephrignogsis your second son :P

Owen Wilson is not a role in this game.

Neither is Randy Newman.

Just remember what your old pal said.

[a2thezebra]

This is madness!

[a2thezebra]

Can anyone tell me why Watari and Ezekiel are SO popular?

[Matt]

We're the only ones who voted Duncan, Zeebs.

You are so correct.

Ephraim; Abigail; yeah I'd probably get them mixed up too.

[a2thezebra]

We're the only ones who voted Duncan, Zeebs.

You and I have a tendency to agree on Day 0 votes, have you noticed that?

[Marmot]

We're the only ones who voted Duncan, Zeebs.

[a2thezebra]

State your case, MM.

[Matt]

We're the only ones who voted Duncan, Zeebs.

You and I have a tendency to agree on Day 0 votes, have you noticed that?

I remember both of us voting Death Star in Star Wars and then you convincing everyone to vote for me for voting Death Star in Star Wars.

[a2thezebra]

Good times.
