Day 12 ~ 2015 Game of Champions

[Ricochet]

Whatever happens, I'm off to Budapest during the weekend, so my time will be very limited.

[MacDougall]

Mac, you said earlier that him being lynched as scum was the least likely outcome, in spite of him having voted for himself earlier as well. Why?

The self vote thing only just occurred to me. If I had have made that connection earlier I might have felt differently. I'd still be surprised if he's scum but the fact that I now don't think he was intentionally getting votes makes it a far more likely proposition in mymind.

[Spacedaisy]

Well shit. Here reading and I still missed it.

MM I don't have mafia teammates because I'm not mafia so that is an impossible request.

Was there a confirmed baddie? I'm not that far along yet if so.

[Turnip Head]

As the sound of the bells rang out signaling the start of the tournament, Turnip Head had a sudden realization and turned to S~V~S with a horrified expression on his face.

“What is it?” S~V~S asked him. “You look like you just binge watched 8 episodes of Making a Murderer.”

“Well, they’re gonna be at this a long time right? Like a month, maybe longer?”

“Probably.”

“So they’re gonna be running around slaughtering each other nonstop for days on end?”

“It stands to reason.”

Turnip’s expression turned even more grave. “Well, we forgot to give them something to eat.”

S~V~S gasped. “Scandalous!”

Down in the arena, the combatants were coming to the same realization themselves. Amidst the panic, one voice stood above the rest.

“Brothers, sisters, civilians and mafia alike! I am Ricochet of Nauru, and I beg you to eat me.”

The others were confused, and tried to figure out whether he was being serious or nonsensical.

Turnip Head heard this through the monitors in the observation room, and rushed toward the arena. “We can’t allow this! What have we done? We must save him!”

S~V~S tried to stop him, “Let nature take its course, you are overthinking it.” But he was already out the door.

Fourteen combatants circled around RIcochet, readying their weapons to turn against him. “Don’t save me, this was my destiny all along. Omelette au cannibalism."

Turnip Head entered the scene, only to find that he was too late. The others had already torn into Ricochet like a bag of beef jerky.

“It is accomplished,” Riochet said with his last breaths. “I am dead. Confirmed.”

Turnip lowered his head in sorrow. “Yes, yes you are.”

Spoiler: show

Ricochet has been lynched. He was Jacob Donner, a civilian.

If Jacob Donner is lynched on Day 1, he will die, revealing his full role. If this occurs, Donner may continue to post on-topic as if he were alive, but he cannot vote and cannot be targeted by any abilities or items.

It is now Night 1. You have 23 hours to send your PM's and vote in the night poll.

[Ricochet]

Hi.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Okay, I'm going to finish this episode of Brooklyn 99 and then explain why I think Day 1 was an immense pile of dumb.

[HamburgerBoy]

Sweet, glad you're still with us Rico, you were delicious.

[MacDougall]

Well then. Maybe he was trying to get lynched after all.

So now you're an invincible townie with no vote. You're like Obi-Wan!

Well done man hahaha.

[Draconus]

Did you want this Rico?

Can I stop now?

[Ricochet]

Can I post in this color, Hosts, or do I still have to conform to the white font?

[Black Rock]

and it all makes sense...

[DharmaHelper]

Can Rico stfu now that he's won lmao

[juliets]

Metalmarsh here is the question I asked you. Note that I am not asking the same questions you already answered. I'm wanting to know what was in your head when you picked the word "which" when you framed the question.

MM, your question to him was "which team do you think he is on?". That sounds like you not only know there are two teams (i know you responded to this already) but that you knew what the team names were. What made you use the word "which"? And what did you expect in return from JJJ that would be an example of "which"? I hope you understand what I am asking. If not, let me know.

[MacDougall]

Can I post in this color, Hosts, or do I still have to conform to the white font?

You were posting in red font while you were alive so I doubt that they care.

It says you can't be targeted by abilities. Does that mean you can be killed?

[Tranq]

Okay, I'm going to finish this episode of Brooklyn 99 and then explain why I think Day 1 was an immense pile of dumb.

Looks like this is the best possible Day 1 result in the game. Do you disagree?

[MacDougall]

Can Rico stfu now that he's won lmao

I expect Ricochet will post more than ever now, it'll just be more on topic.

Lynched? I assume so.

Night killed? Why do you want to now?

[a2thezebra]

Thanks Ricochet.

Golden and I seem to be on a very similar wavelength so far this game, I can dig it.

This post sounds eerily familiar to something Bib Fortuna would have posted.

I don't buy that you actually think this.

I'm not sure what to make of a2thezebra posting a 13 minute video 19 minutes before the poll ends. I'm over halfway through the clip atm, but without having seen it till the end i don't feel like i can make an informed decision.

That's six minutes to decide whose argument is better.

[MacDougall]

I would agree because I think Rico is a baller civ, but it depends on whether he can still be killed and whether you agree that he's a great civ.

Linki:

Because I want to know how strong your role is. Because I have a plan that depends on me knowing that's going to be kick ass for the civs.

[a2thezebra]

The fact that Ricochet has self voted makes me feel like he's probably going to get lynched. I remember that part of my role said I couldn't self vote.

If he's civilian I'll be pleasantly surprised. My bet is on indie.

What in the name of fuck?

I'm not answering that question, so either ask the Hosts or do your thang the way you plan it (if there is a genuine thang). Don't roll them eyes, if your heart is in the right place, then you'll understand why I can't answer.

Why the fuck wouldn't I you spent lots of energy as a scum buddying Golden in Star Wars. I was arguing with him while you were doing it.

Fair deuce!

[Ricochet]

But seriously, I have to wake up in four hours and catch a train. Good luck, I'll pop up along for the next two days, but that's it; I'm sure that'll only be a relief for most, if not all of you.

D'you mean dues. Fair dues.

[sig]

Epignosis hasn't posted here in a day and a half.

Fuck you, that's why.

Kinky :P

So I couldn't vote yesterday, or say I couldn't vote until the day phase was over. Know my fluff post was done Night 0, Llama/DH and I discussed this, then. I had already said something DH did was pingy.

Thoughts on this?

A bad guy lynch would have been better, but yeah this is nice for a town lynch. I actually didn't read the fine print and see his role description until now.

#invested

#supertownjimmy

Some stuff was definitely dumb though. Maybe not an immense pile of dumb. Scattered dumb fragments. Stay tuned.

[Golden]

I didn't expect you to come back civ, rico, (I was fairly hooked on the idea you were an indy) but...

Oh, and also, if it is a role like your one in World Reborn than I don't really have any fear playing in to it. If Rico was that kind of Indy, I could trust in him to have no loyalties whatsoever and do whatever was best for him, which isn't necessarily anti-town. Indeed, if Rico is actually civ and the goal is for him to gain power through lynch votes I also don't have any problem with it. The only think I'm worried about with lynching Rico would be if he was mafia-aligned but his role got power from lynch votes and he could survive the lynch. Then it would suck.

This is a large part of why I had no intention of ever changing my vote. Sometimes if people want to be lynched, its best to give them what they want. We shy away from lynching that person too often, I think. I was heavily influenced by my own game in Star Wars and in Talking Heads, in both cases I wanted to be lynched. I've never sought to be lynched as a baddie.

But a bad guy lynch would have lost Rico his role forever. He played it very well.

Same. I also agree with Tranq that this was the best possible outcome. Although RIP to Rico's ability to vote.

He actually managed to have me convinced by the end that he wasn't doing what I was convinced he was doing the whole time so yes fair play to the man.

[Marmot]

Told you he wanted to be lynched zebra.

Why the fuck wouldn't I you spent lots of energy as a scum buddying Golden in Star Wars. I was arguing with him while you were doing it.

That was genuine. It was irrelevant to my alignment. Being a scum in that game watching two (almost assuredly from my POV) civs going at it bordering on personal was just exhausting and infuriating. You were leading that conflict so I went after you. Deal with it.

The fact that Ricochet has self voted makes me feel like he's probably going to get lynched. I remember that part of my role said I couldn't self vote.

Hahahahaha. Fuck my life. I meant scum.

Okay never mind whew Jesus

Fuck off.

Yup, this is definitely compensation for your lack of aggressiveness before I called you out on it. No question.

No, it really is not. I didn't see the post before it. I thought this was you trying to call me out on it, but that post was the one before and this was you actually backing off. Apologies. I am sure you can see that fuck off would be deserved in that scenario.

[a2thezebra]

Told you he wanted to be lynched zebra.

Don't forget that you did convince me before the day was over that this was true, and I even changed my vote for less than half a minute.

I do still stand by that lynching Rico was the right way to go. Golden makes a good point that if a civ wants to be lynched, they should get what they want nine times out of ten.

[MacDougall]

I'll let DharmaHelper tell you how you missed the joke.

Do go on.

[a2thezebra]

I disagree that it would be deserved in either case, and either way I still think you would be compensating.

[a2thezebra]

I'm voting marmota because marmot, hellooooooo

[MacDougall]

I disagree that it would be deserved in either case, and either way I still think you would be compensating.

You have literally angered me to the point where I am swearing at you but you're going to just say I am faking it. You are baiting the shit out of me right now and you know it.

[Marmot]

I'm voting marmota because marmot, hellooooooo

Likewise!

I didn't say you were outright faking it, only that you were compensating. A kind of flanderization of yourself; your genuine reaction, yet amplified up to eleven.

No offence to zebra or marmot, but I'm taking a neutral option, and going for the LOST reference (after all, I am hosting that other game).
