Balls of steel, over here. That are about to be crushed by a giant foot wearing an equally giant sock.

I will be back on when I get home.

Now that you mention this, I didn't notice before that the numbers are now gone...
Unless my computer's being weird. Does anyone see numbers on the poll?

I see an 11 by BWT's name and a 73 by Llama's, as well as a 666. Other than that, no

Hopefully the craziness is over and the poll is just the poll at this point.

#1655

Randomizing and self-voting on Day 3 of the championships? C'mon, y'all.

(I mean that castigation in the gentlest way possible).

#1656

Voted for Vompatti because self voting is weak and unchampionlike.

Ooooh, you shouldn't have done that.

Day 3: Big Damn Wuss

"You!" the voice pointed at BigDamnHero.

BigDamnHero stood, defiant. "Yes, YOU!" exclaimed the voice. "Champions don't defy the voice!!! Are you willing to accept the price???"

BigDamnHero was. "You bet! Fuck you!!"

The voice was furious. "NO ONE DEFIES ME... ESPECIALLY NOT A CHAMPION!!" The voice struck BigDamnHero with lightning, reducing him to ashes.

BigDamnHero has been modkilled. He was ????????.

It is still Day 3.

I am going to vote for Lizzy.

Delbert Grady – [The Shining] – Searches for Jack each night; if he finds him, they gain BTSC and Jack gets a nightly kill. As a butler, he lives to serve. (Secrets)

Jeeves will no doubt be searching Lizzy this upcoming Night. I don't know about you, but I'm not keen on another serial killer running amok with BTSC and God knows whatever other tricks Jeeves has to offer.

Epi - I've thought about that too, but what if she isn't Jack and someone is framing her? They want us to think she is Jack. That's the only thing that's stayed my hand in voting for her thus far.

Do we or do we not trust that intel?

According to the role description Moriarty has a 50% chance of being inaccurate. So there's a 50% chance Lizzy is absolutely any other role.

#1666

I don't understand how someone could be framing her. Isn't the info 50% chance of being true, 50% chance of being false? It seems like that just comes with the role. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you Mongoose.

This is interesting Epi and worth thinking about. It may be my best option for a vote. I have thought about some others but the reasons are not as strong as I would like. I will think about it.

This was my interpretation of the info as well, so I'm also unsure as to how someone could be framing anyone. Also if they were, surely Epi's role reveal would've been someone we'd want to lynch as well? Or why frame Lizzy over Epig?

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
You come and go, you come and go.

#1672

I didn't explain myself well, sorry about that. I think 50% is a pretty big chance to gamble on, so I'm not ready to vote her just yet.

#1673

Jim Moriarty - [Sherlock] – A criminal mastermind, he seeks revenge on those he sees as meddlers. Every even night, he attempts to uncover a player’s role, thereafter publicly revealing his result, but his result has a 50% chance of being inaccurate. As his team’s killer, he eradicates a player of his choice every odd night. If he dies, his kill passes to the next in line above him.

He attempts to uncover "a player's" role
He eradicates "a player" of his choice.

What is strange to me is that the Manipulators seem to have used both of Ji'm's powers twice on two separate occasions (The two NK's with one having failed, then the two reveals). How could they have done that?

And does the two reveals coupled with the 50% of being true/false mean that one of the reveals is true and the other is false?

#1674

I understand this is an "Anti-Monty Hall Paradox," as it were, but it's still something that offers at least a measure of insight.

If the statement is false, then we know she's not a particular civilian role (thereby decreasing Lizzy's chances of being good). And Grady doesn't find Jack.

If the statement is correct, then she is about to become a very powerful serial killer.

Lizzy and I actually discussed that 3-4 pages back, if you guys wanna look at what he said.

Whoa, BDH! So wait, no role reveal? We got one with AP....Please, Socky?

I did not get a PM. I wish I did.

I think we should get ALL baddies, and BOB and Zodac are baddies in my book. That does not apply to all indies, and the Media thing was a fiasco and a waste of time, as I said before. But I don't get people saying they're not worried about an SK and someone who recruits, kills, and wins when he outnumbers everyone else, much less defends these roles as civ-friendly.
Where do you see Zodac is a SK?

This is a good point, Dom. It's possible he's not this game. He was in MOTU, though, so I was assuming (yeah, yeah, I know). I don't think ignoring him and him being an SK is a risk we can afford to take because he's so powerful.

You.
Why's that?

Do I have to come out and say it? The poll is the poll -- and always was the same poll.
Why not? It'd be pretty Avant Garde to lynch the host, wouldn't it?
I could get behind this concept. Follow me:

We all write-in MP to lynch, overthrow his game, and then begin a battle-royale style lynch phase where winner takes over hosting duties for the remainder of the game.

Let's do this!

But really, do my eyes deceive me? Is the poll back to normal? That makes things much easier but also much tougher, because now I have to decide who to vote for instead of just picking a number. :P

Linki: DH, probability theory would say no, both could be true or false. You have a 50% chance that exactly one is true.
And Epi, are you saying we should lynch her regardless of whether the info is true or not? I agree that if it is true she's very dangerous. Do you mean to say you don't have any suspicions that you feel more confident about than the odds of randoming minus one possible civ role? If that sentence doesn't make sense, I'll try to clarify. Hopefully you get my meaning.

Russti, I'm wrestling with the Lizzie thing too, especially adding in what aces brought up earlier. I don't have any radically better choices but it sounds like you might - would you share your thoughts on who you're going to vote for?

SVS and A Person were actually invited, but when they saw all of the horrible, despicable, and depraved things I wrote in there, they decided to leave and never come back.

#1680

Right now I'm in between bea (for what I mentioned before) and Lizzy for what Epig mentioned about her. But I don't feel terribly strongly about either one, and could be persuaded to look elsewhere.

I'm also going to take the leap of faith and assume that each name on the poll corresponds to that person. Although I get the feeling we're going to be proven wrong about that one.

#1681

I got you Russ. I was having supper.

All I am saying is this: There is information on deck that may be true, and if true, will produce dire consequences if not handled. It's a risk-reward thing:

If the information is false and Lizzy gets lynched, then one person has suffered, and that someone may yet be an undesirable.
If the information is true and Lizzy doesn't get lynched, then "Heeeeeeee're Johnny!"

#1682

I will come back and read all the posts I missed, but I have only about thirty seconds right now.
I'm voting Epig because he has no votes, and he's been very active - I don't think we ought to lynch him,
I just want him covered (and not to miss the vote).

#1683

I know it's only 50%, but if it is true and we have another serial killer on our hands, we will be killed off that much quicker and have less time to figure out who the baddies are and lynch them. That doesn't sit right with me.

#1684

Yeah, the more I think about it...I think it is better to be safe than sorry. *voting Lizzy*

#1685

I'm voting DH> I have found him pushy and somewhat discussion stifling this game.

This is a reasonable point. Other than the confusing sexy mofo vote for the shield poll, I've been leaning civ on Lizzy lately, which would correspond to the Jack role. And adding another serial killer to the mix is not something anyone wants. So, hoping she's taking one for the team, I'll go ahead and *Vote Lizzy*.

so...um....you read the post where I said something stupid. But you missed *this* post I made this morning that was on the same page?

bea wrote:Ok - quick pop in before work -

1) So the sheild thingie I won is a night protect. I keep it for the following night, then I have to decide who to pass it on to. That's it.

2) Yea - IDK what I was thinking that bob could help us. I think I was thinking I was tired and on my third glass of wine and avant land is hurting my brainz. Sorry Nev. I wish I had something better to say, sadly I don't.

3) I was not recruited. I would even be so willing as to place said single vote on myself (Hey - is this the one time self voting is ok?) - you know - if I knew where I were. When the poll is normal and if people are still worried, again - I'd happily place the vote on myself if it would help.

4) Thanks for the clarification on how the zodac thing worked. I had the basics down but I was confused in that last scenario where one of the people weren't picked by zodac. You rock it.

ok - off to work.

Believe me or don't believe me, but my brow is cricked as to how you could read one post I made on one page and completely miss the other one saying that I should come in and respond to something I'd responded to.

Grr lost post. I am hesitant to vote Lizzy, but she does seem to be the best lead to potential baddie if that role is correct. I would rather wait till after a kill for confirmation, rather than possible lynching an innocent now, but there you have it.

Votes Lizzy

Who deserves to win?
