I echo this sentiment.

Nah, MP isn't hosting.

Yeah, there are definitely players I haven't seen yet.

Glad to see you here for the champions game, FZ.!

I do agree you nailed Are You Being Served? as a civvie; if it wasn't for you and S~V~S, we probably wouldn't have won that game!

Somehow I doubt Epig would repeat exactly what I did though, even if all his events would inevitably be totally different. But I agree that it very likely has in-game consequences.

Turnip Head wrote:Interesting that the most recent games aren't poll options even though the winners from those games qualified. Makes me think this poll is relevant to the game.

That's a very good point; you're probably right.

In the 2013 Champions game, the D0 poll was pretty much exactly the same. I ended up using the poll as themes that drove all kinds of events, with the players "visiting" each theme in order of most to least votes. So it's possible Epig will do something similar here.

That's what happened to me last year, easily, since I only won the one game.

I still honestly think Masters of the Universe is the best game I've ever played, or at least up there, and I certainly didn't win that game.

Increasing (decreasing) effort or performance definitely doesn't convert to necessarily winning (losing).

The SK role is perhaps the consistently hardest role to win as, IMO, so it was cool to see it win not only once but twice this year.

You played The Master so incredibly well; I'm still in awe over that, frankly.

We had some amazing SK performances this year between you and juliets.

juliets wrote:yay, got back from vacation just in time for the start of the game. My favorite accomplishment was as Smaug in Hobbit where I was the SK and won the game singly. I can't remember another game where I played an SK and I always thought it would be impossible to win as that role. I also really loved my role in Fight Club where I got to take notes from each of the towns and send them off to the head civ (can't remember the name) to give him/her some insight into what was going on in all the threads. I was so meticulous about those notes but then I found out that all that time the person I had been sending to was Kate and she was too busy and dropped out of the game. I was so disappointed - all that work and no one was reading it! Lol, such is mafia!

Also, inh you make me laugh!

Indeed, I was so disappointed about that! I am so glad that timmer got to replace in as Narrator 2.0 because you two made an awesome team.

And you rocked it as Smaug.

Really? Huh.

Damn secret roles.

Yay game!!!! It's really awesome to be playing this one, as much as I enjoyed hosting last year!

LOL, flashbacks right off the back from INH. I'm glad Media isn't in this game.

As to which game I feel was my best performance... that's a good question. Especially since I somehow managed 6 wins this year! A stark contrast to last year, where the only game I won was Minimalism.

I missed out on Harry Potter, X-Men, Cards Against Humanity, Film Noir, Willow, and The Stanley Parable, sadly. And I hosted Fight Club. That leaves:

- WWE: This was so awesome. I had a fantastic team (Boomslang, Bass, and S~V~S), and even though I sacrificed myself and S~V~S and Bass carried us to the win, I feel that was easily one of my finest performances ever. Contender
- The Hobbit: Terrible. Lynched D1 and I was perhaps the most important role on my baddie team. Then two of my teammates got lynched D2 and D3, and Dom got killed later. Definitely NOT this. NOT a contender
- Monty Python: Equally bad. Lynched D1 as an SK. NOT a contender
- Doctor Who: Epic. Not only did I get to be an amazingly awesome role, The Doctor, but then I was recruited by a secret recruiter, much to my shock, and we assembled a really awesome team lineup. Contender

- The Shawshank Redemption: I loved being Red in this game, but boo put me in the hole for like three whole cycles!! Not sure it was one of my best performances, and I didn't win, but it was a lot of fun. NOT a contender
- Are You Being Served?: This was perhaps one of the most fun roles I ever had; if I ever missed the lynch vote, and subsequently got at least three people to talk about my crazy "story" for being "late", I got a role check. I only accomplished this once, but it was nice to play totally differently than my usual style. And I did win! Contender
- Occultism: I got NKed, but then brought back to life! Managed to win when we lynched the inactive independent BWT. This was a lot of fun and I actually managed to catch a baddie and the independent even though I am typically a terrible civvie. Contender
- Misfits: This was one hell of a game where the baddies pulled the wool over our eyes so badly and everyone was convinced Made was bad... then he wasn't! So much fun, but definitely not my finest performance. Lol. NOT a contender
- Clue: The Movie: This was awesome! Even though I suspected Epig, the sole amazing baddie hunter of the game, of being Mr. Boddy , I did manage to catch a baddie on D1 (sabie) and despite my typical inattentive civvie behavior I feel I performed better than my usual civvie self here. Contender
- Zelda: Ganon's Conquest: Considering I was NKed on Night 3, I didn't really have the chance to get my head around this game, sadtly. NOT a contender

Cars and Monopoly aren't on here... Monopoly would have definitely been considered, whereas Cars ranks up with The Hobbit and Monty as my three worst performances this year.

In the end, I went with WWE, since I feel that truly was my best performance of all the games I won.
