The Erlatz Eleven led players (La) to look at the Ultramorph Nine which in turn led to my downfall as the Ultramorph - ah great times!Tranq wrote:Erlatz 11 was Recruitment 1. RM3 had the Ultramorph Nine. Not sure what happened in RM2. I've been going through the old RM3 thread to see if it got mentioned over there - good times

But i'm voting Position 3. Having played the previous Recruitment games, i'd rather not vote for the option that ends up winning a Day 0 poll
Ahh, the Erlatz Eleven.
If I am remembering this correctly, in a previous recruitment game it was determined that those who had voted the winning option on Day 0 had become a pool of potential recruits for one of the leaders, and it became a witch hunt.
Clearly Bullzeye is some sort of quadruple agent. Anyone who recruits Bullzeye to their team should immediately kill him before he turns on you.Golden wrote:@Bullz - am i wrong in assuming you can only be recruited by one?
I have no reason to believe you are wrong. In fact I think you're right.Golden wrote:@Bullz - am i wrong in assuming you can only be recruited by one?
Leaving out your mafia achievements, huh?Golden wrote:I wish I had played other recruitment games. The dynamics here are interesting. The only one I've played a little like it is rabbit's SK game (in which timmer betrayed me! wisely, because I would have won if he didn't, but I still carry the pain. We were a team!)
I will still probably find myself in a civ mindset because I can't help it, but its very odd knowing there are only 2 baddies out of 36 players right now.
What I'm most interested in is that some people have been already willing to put their hand up and say 'I haven't been recruited yet'. I'm not sure what to make of that. Obviously it turned out to be true in this case (assuming they are not one of the four leaders) but why say it? Are they setting themselves up for a lie later? What has been the general philosophy in saying something like that in the game? I don't really understand why you would do that?
I do, however, agree with JJ that begging for a recruit is not at all desperate, obscene or try-hard, so I present for you my own unique skills.

Unfortunately, I have no link to me juggling, but it wouldn't convince anyone.
Given that it seems confirmed that nobody can know yet whether they've been recruited, I find this set of questions curious. How do you suppose this behavior would facilitate a "lie later" for those who made relevant comments?Golden wrote:What I'm most interested in is that some people have been already willing to put their hand up and say 'I haven't been recruited yet'.

Making fun of Creed does not impress me. It was a regular pastime junior year in college. One of our suitemates was a huge Creed fan and we made fun of him dearly for it. That also led us to make fun of his love of Bruce Springsteen too, even though Springsteen doesn't suck.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I suppose if I want to be recruited, I am going to have to show the leaders what skills I have to offer for their team. Some include:
I can juggle.
I am known for playing table tennis well enough to frustrate my nemeses.
I am a professional at making fun of the music of Creed
Biotch please, you know you had a LOT of help from my ASS in Biblical. Don't try to pass that one off as a solo achievement.Golden wrote: I do, however, agree with JJ that begging for a recruit is not at all desperate, obscene or try-hard, so I present for you my own unique skills.

Help from your ass?

The lesson here is that even when Golden isn't playing well at all, he is still capable of masterfully fleecing everyone when he is a baddie (Guess Who).Golden wrote:G-Man, I had a lot of help from you in Death & Taxes too.No mafia win is the product of a single individual, but those were games where I played well. Guess Who, not so much.
linki @bullz - G-man talked out of his ass a lot that game.

Actually, the part of speech to which you are referring can modify not only adjectives, but also verbs, determiners, noun phrases, clauses, or entire sentences. (Finally got to use pedantic pink appropriately!)
So in other words, you want to be recruited by mafia.thellama73 wrote:I haven't really thought about which team I want to be recruited onto, but the Sorcerers don't get along with anybody and love chaos, so that sounds about right.
After I voted I realized you were the first tha voted for that choice and I thought oh great I voted same as DH and Im folliwng his leadDharmaHelper wrote:I see a majority of the people who voted realize how important it is to follow my lead.
