Rico has made it pretty clear he is not enjoying not himself since someone killed him.

In all honesty, I haven't been enjoying myself in this game ever since I got fucked over by the bomb twist and completely lost motivation to play for like ten days.

Additionally, he is out to specifically screw other players which is the opposite of my intention. And just because Rico has a lot of posts doesn't equate to playing damn hard. There are a lot of pointless posts in there and bitching posts recently.

You're helping the Primes beat the non-Primes. I'm a non-Prime. You're screwing me over. Any attempt to reject what I just said is an elaborate form of denial. I think standing against a massive alliance is as hard if not harder than forming one, and I think Rico's playing as hard as the people you claim to support due to their exceptional game-playing. Yes, Rico can be snotty and annoying about it, but LC and JOH have been snotty and annoying the whole damn game.

He literally was trying to coast to a win with his role. Which I don't fault him for, don't get me wrong.

You play the game you can with the role you're given. That role is a fucking dumb broken one because whoever has it can only coast. It's either coast or die, and there's no other avenues of gameplay for that person to go down. You using that as an excuse to vote for him is pretty lazy.

But there is nothing hypocritical in my vote for Rico. And you don't have to worry about me INH. I think I should have already proven to you that I feel like you are one of the people who are playing the game worth something.

Here's the rundown. I came to you hoping to start an anti-Prime alliance. You declined, but offered to help get me onto the Primes. I said "screw it," and died a bunch, but failed to get on that team.

It's Phase 2 now. Before, nothing was really permanent, and you could afford to dance around and remain sympathetic to both sides, but we're now all stuck on the teams we're stuck on. The only way for me to win is for the primes to lose and vice versa. If you're helping them, you're hurting me. If you truly want to see the people playing the hardest win, you need to stop devoting yourself to the people who formed a clear majority and are now lazily picking off anyone who stands in their way. To me, what the Primes are doing isn't "playing hard." To use a Survivor reference that only @Golden would understand if @Golden actually decided to play this game, they're Pagonging us.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 1:52 pm I was a prime before the button. That is no secret at this point. And I have requested to stay where I am rather than them working to get me back. I have said all along I don't know if their strategy will work, but I have made no bones about helping them. Even my behavior in the thread has been pretty obvious. I am not being recovered. I'm not a prime.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:36 am Most of the players in this game have coasted and not been active at all. Certain players have worked hard to find a strategy and I respect that. As someone who for the first 18 cycles did practically nothing, I believe other people deserve the win and I have made alliances with them. If you don't like my strategy then lynch me.

it's almost impossible to try and fucking motivate the non-primes to want to win the game, even when we all know who the fucking primes are, and the non-primes outnumber them.

instead, we get sidetracked by sig suggesting lynching inactives, or kyle shitting on any proposed candidates, despite NOT BEING WILLING TO ENTER INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE VALIDITY AND MERITS OF THEIR ARGUMENTS.

then we have fuck-o's like Quin and Wilgy, who are so fucking apathetic at this point that the only way to motivate them to do anything proactive in any fucking way is to hide it in smarmy meme-y joke-y ironic bullshit.

aaaaand everyone else doesn't really enter into the thread too often.

so, it's me, banging my head repeatedly against a brick wall, trying to get people to care about a game seemingly designed to not make them care about it.

Am I wrong or did I just lead a lynch? Seems pretty pathetic to me.

Okay.

So, you're not on the Prime team anymore. But you were. Yet you refuse to help the non-primes at all opportunities, even, as you said, leading a lynch, and providing a vote for the Primes to piggy back off of, against a non-prime. Yet, you seem to not be overtly helping the Primes, so calling you a Prime ally would be inaccurate.

From where I'm standing, your only purpose in the game is to just stand around saying pithy shit to people, while trolling them into thinking that you might start giving a shit, only to pull a Lucy and the football over and over again, because, I dunno, being smarmy and aloof makes you feel cool? Or makes you feel smarter than anyone else?

If that's the case, I might just go ahead and block you for the remainder of this game, because all you're doing is stressing me out and aggravating me for no tangible purpose.

My problem with this stems from the fact that I wrote an unpublished novel 15 years ago that predicted that teachers would no longer be called teachers, but "facilitators."

What are we called now?

"Facilitators of Learning."

Bullshit.

I'm not a facilitator.

I don't make things easy.

I'm a Challenger.

But teacher works fine.
