The Game of Champions 2018 [ENDGAME]

[nijuukyugou]

Forced flippancy? Nah. Just regular ol' flippancy.

I'm taking stock of things. Y'know, absorbing things. And no, I have nothing of note yet, but I'll have something. I need to make dinner first.

[sig]

Are we 100% sure rule 13 is correct. I mean isnt it a Tuesday for Mac. Ergo are any of the rules real. Are we real? Is the game real.

Hello everyone.

I'm drinking at home tonight, unlike the rest of you who are no doubt out somewhere having fun.

I'm not sure who to vote for or what to vote for yet so I'll wait until some more of you show up to discuss. Happy New Year!

Are you mafia again.

Two more emojis in his early posts. This guy is clearly Mafia. He's trying to use emojis to soften the tone of his posts to avoid a severe response.

I frequently use emojis it's NAI, something I'd think you'd know.

Stock is just bone tea

Teammate link identified! How else would Nutella know what Mac is doing.

[MacDougall]

It's rather impressive that nut picked up on that tbh.

Yep, definitely town no question about it

To my one and only mother,

It’s finally that time, mom. After months of training and movement, I am able to write you. I have arrived to my deployed position, which I can only describe by name for security reasons. I have only been able to contact you and Maria to this point, so please let Hal know I say hi and send all the best wishes yadda yadda. I’ve spent most of my time so far getting to know my company.

There’s one I don’t feel great about, mom. I think it’s something in his manner, like he is eager to make jokes but little else. His introduction was awkward, in a way that makes me wonder about his authenticity. He goes by Bob. I think he’s a Colonel, so I’d better tread carefully. Or was it colonial? No, that’s not a rank.

I promise I am well! I get through the night dreaming of your signature pot roast. I miss that nearly as much as I miss dad.

- J

P.S. to the mail carrier who has been ruffling through my letters that left a note requesting off-topic color coding... Well this is very odd behavior first off. But your request is reasonable and I will try when I am not writing on the move.

The dead have stirred and walk among you!

[Tangrowth]

My apologies for not being around. TL;DR version is IRL stuff, should be around more going forward. I’ll be here tomorrow.

The longer version for any of you that are interested is that I had surgery for a hernia a couple weeks ago. Turns out I had a worse case than anticipated but thankfully I had a great surgeon and the operation went fine. In addition I gave my students their Final Exam that same week so I didn’t have a chance to start grading until post-surgery and I was absolutely down for the count for over a week after. I didn’t anticipate it but I made these Final exams too intensive to grade apparently because the last few days were filled with hectic grading and I barely made my deadline with grades due today.

Needless to say it’ll be good to finally relax and play this game again with you all.

hey true story I had a double hernia operation when I was 2. I don't remember it so it must not have been too bad but I did have the scars for a long time.

[Epignosis]

I still have my hernia. Thirteen years going. You're all weak.

There's a joke here that I want you to know I made in my head and found very funny

[Epignosis]

Does it by chance involve a cat?

No but now I'm curious,

Man, and I thought the Discord was on some weird shit tonight.

Aw, I miss him.

And since we're spilling, the fun thing I got is the Radio. I can't see any game related advantage from it, but getting to be the DJ is fun. And I prefer music to animal protein any day

If it is cursed I am not aware of it.

I'm a civ with town win conditions. I am looking to take video requests for a town party (maybe post links not actual videos so the thread doesn't lag for people on phones)!

MP, sorry to hear about your surgery. RL trumps mafia every time but glad to hear you will be able to play going forward. Hope you're feeling better.

[juliets]

So I looked at c-bobs posts because of Jay's letter and what Jay says is true but there are another 5 or so people who haven't said much either. Jay this may not fit into your letter writing but is there a reason you picked c-bob as opposed to say Turnip Head or blooper or nova or Quin to name a few? They've made comments but not said much.

I'm having a hard time with suspects, there are a couple of people I'm leaning civ on but then I have a whole lot of meh. I hope we have some good participation today.

[juliets]

By the way, my ISO links are posts number 163, 166 and 187. Epi said he would put them in the first post when he can.

[Quin]

My precious...

i should clarify i'm not actually insanified or anything i just wanted the attention

[ColinIsCool]

You are all scum.

[Long Con]

My precious...

i should clarify i'm not actually insanified or anything i just wanted the attention

You mean you got the Ring, right?

[Lunalee]

My precious...

Is the ring cursed?

[sprityo]

Jay is turning into Rico

[Long Con]

No Luna, I mean:

Juliets, Macdougall, Quin, got Calendar, Ring, and Camera.

My precious...

... that Quin is telling us, possibly with less subtlety than he intended it, that he received the Ring as his item.

My guess is he expects more from me, but the deal is I just got SSBU last night so glwt.

(Nah I mostly don't have strong thoughts. Nutella getting stuck in seems like a good look I guess. I wasn't even planning on playing this game at first so I'm still gearing up.)

[sprityo]

time to fight Cbob and show him the power of GANONDORF

[DharmaHelper]

[mention]reywaS[/mention] I see you sneakin and creepin out here.

Also Im gonna take like an hour or two and then read the thread and see what I see.

[reywaS]

The dead have stirred and walk among you!

Nope, nope. That's just reywaS. Hello rey!

hello errbody. Joejoe a free man these days. Literally zero responsibility other than myself. expect the return of the dumb ass.


DH...no u

[nutella]

You are all scum.

You keep saying that. I don't think it means what you think it means.

I mean, what?

Colin u bored bro let's light this place up. We got like 10 hours people.

[nutella]

Thoughts on Luna from everyone. Go.

[DharmaHelper]

Spoiler: show

I am going to vote for wand (magic spells!), camera (crime scene pictures?), radio (info?) and not sure about the last two. Maybe the costume and the ring. Disguises can be helpful and the ring could be magic, too.

People who played the games these items are from (are they all from games?) have any idea about them? Since Epi says they may be cursed, I am not so sure it much matters what we think of the items, and it's kind of a "which ones we like the sound of" crapshoot.

I am more concerned about who we give them to. Since It would be hard to tell who is/is not civ, I will vote to give them to people I think would use them well, whatever it is that they do, and hope they are civs. I had wanted to wait to get a feel for people before voting, and I opened another tab with the poeple poll, then I opened another browser to look at who voted for who, and then I realized I would not be able to vote if I left the tab here, so I am going to vote now. I logged out and logged back in, but still can't vote. Is that a glitch, once you choose "view results" in an unchanging poll you are locked out? Or is that a permanent thing?

So voting wand, camera, radio, costume, ring.

Since I am gonna vote now, for people I'll pick DH, LC, Juliets, TH and Mac EDIT: @Epignosis it won't let me vote, I assume since I chose to view results in another browser. Will you accept my votes this way, or do you want me to post them in the other thread? Or am I SOL re voting?

Also taking a cut/paste of where the vote stands now on who voted for whom as of now for anyone who would like to know before they vote:

What persons?

Poll runs till Wed Jan 02, 2019 9:23:07 pmPlease note that if you vote, your vote will be visible.

I'm in the process of my readthrough now but this post is very big and says very little. Kinda jingles my bells a bit with respect to wanting to look important, but not really doing much.

[nutella]

I didn't ask about SVS.

[DharmaHelper]

I didn't ask about SVS.

Yeah I'm not on your clock though am I. I'll comment on Luna when I get to Luna in my readthrough.

[DharmaHelper]

I dislike Juliets big post about her votes, seemed very in depth and scummy.

Mac is playing differently then his last few games tone wise which could mean he's mafia or that he's just taking this game more serious. Either way I'd watch him.

Svs seems badish so she's probably good.
Nova has also posted early this game so omma throw a few civ points his way.

Sig jumping on Mac's Juliets ping like a turkey vulture. Tossess in some rando-reads for extra flavor. Mondo Garbo

[juliets]

[mention]nutella[/mention], I just read through Lunalee again and didn't see anything that alarmed me. What am I missing? I did notice your post again that she's giving off Dominick vibes - what does that mean exactly? (I remember Dom's posts as short and to the point, sometimes abrupt, but that's not what I'm seeing in Luna.)

[DharmaHelper]

Day one is always so slow. Mac is voting Juliets because he thinks she's too worried about looking good, and Sloonei is voting TH because Turnip said "thanks" twice. Can we get some good finger pointing and discussions going?

[mention]nutella[/mention] Here:

Mondo garbo from Luna. People have already said this but "Lets point fingers" from Luna without any actual effort/finger pointing herself looks like "Hey can someone other than me stick their neck out" Which is...not...good.
