Okay I'm reaching.

And the metal pipes that draw the water from the marsh of peace
To rearrange the molecules that hasten to the crease
All of this portrayed our love with impending liquid feast
That we may return to stand upon the wreathes of our fine fleece

My best Jon Anderson impression.

Yep.

I thought my role being Kentucky the first time around was somehow fitting.

I thought being WW which is MM flipped was also fitting.

TH, you should have just gone bankrupt landing on Illinois. I would have gotten all of your properties, and no one might have caught me for surviving the NK.

Ohhhh I gotcha. I kept trying to figure out how you were doing that.
I signed up for this not planning on winning,** but just planning on having fun. Mission accomplished.

**That changed when all reds found one another after Night 2 and we could buy houses and hotels, and then changed quickly back when we all died three in a row.
I killed zeek so I could join your team dammit. If things had worked out, y'all would have won anyway.
Well, that would have been interesting.

Indeed

The only reason I killed zeek was because he had Illinois, which was a slightly higher rent total then the rest, and a chance card will send you there. I searched you the night you died. I was pretty bummed about that.

Long Con wrote:Ok, here's how it went. Epig won Atlantic Avenue after FZ was lynched. We offered him $100 for it for some reason, and he countered with $303, I believe.

When Lorab won Electric Company in the bid (yup, not you or Boogs, I knew the whole time, tee hee!), we noted how she had tried (and failed) to scoop Atlantic Avenue from Epig, and took Epig up on his offer, paying him $303 for it. We then offered it to Lorab for Electric Company, and she quickly accepted, since she was yellow.

We wanted Electric Company so that we would have something Water Works would accept as trade for Oriental. Good plan, but MM wouldn't even consider it.

It meant nothing to me really. I knew so many roles, and the extra rent money I made was hardly worth it. I made over $8,000 throughout the game. but of course I spent a lot of money in chunks. $1,500 on the Captain Planet power (to make sure no one else got it was my most important reason) and also $1,800 on the 9 houses made available later on, none of which I placed, lol. I was too worried about being caught placing houses on properties.

I was well aware that the baby blues were together. I was surprised I could buy houses on the property when I was not part of the team. How did that work anyway?

boo wrote: The baddies-proper really got hammered throughout the game. BWT and MM probably would have done well if BWT had been luckier. And then MM did have the first Captain Planet, and could have gotten BTSC with DF and SVS (both of the remaining RRs, they each had NKed a red, and so had MM, which while it would have done away with the NKs, would have created a powerhouse team in terms of properties, and prevented DF targeting MM with a NK which pretty much got them both killed. Unfortunately for MM, I think he had thought if he let DF die (he was taking heat when MM played captain planet and picked the reds) and the red property he had got moved along to someone else, he could get BTSC with that person instead (it was with the holders at the time of the power being player you could get BTSC with).

I misinterpreted the power. I thought I could search any player that had a red, no matter if they acquired it later. I was trying my darndest to get on TH's team. When searching him didn't work, I assumed he had traded the property to his partner because he was in danger of being lynched or NK'd, I continued to search unknown players because one of them had to be his partner. Finally, the night before I was lynched, you pointed out to me the fine print in the role, and I realized I was absolutely fucked.

I spent a ton of money this game. I also sent boo somewhere in the ballpark of 200 pm's with questions.

Thanks for your patience boo.

Long Con wrote:Thanks to everyone for not lynching me just for winning an Autofind. Awesome benefit to choosing to win with Lorab and bea: now they can enter Epig's 2014 Champions Game!

Black Rock (Oriental) searched me (Connecticut) on Night 1, and we gained BTSC. The Autofind came up for bid very soon after, and I won it and instantly Elohcin (Vermont) was added to our team. BR was killed before we could even blink, but she soon replaced back in as Elohcin left the game. So we were LMS BTSC for basically the whole game.

Metalmarsh acquired Oriental by killing BR 1.0, and we spent the whole game trying to get it back. He built two houses and wouldn't build more, the scum! We tried trading him Electric Company, and some other stuff, but he wouldn't even haggle.

We lived the whole time with less than $1000 each, I think I was down to under $100 at one point.

We bought the Beatdown for $475 dollars, I think. Don't know if anyone else bid for this, but I figured it would come in handy.

Our goal all game, after Electric Company died, was to kill Water Works. It would simultaneously give us access to Oriental finally, and activate the Beatdown. I really thought TH was Water Works, and even when I accepted that he wasn't (since Water Works convinced us ), I still wanted him dead because he had that sweet red hotel that I wanted.

It was a harrowing lynch between Metalmarsh and myself - I used eight extra votes on MM, just to be sure. TH had a very sound strategy, that jerk, in getting us to use up our extra votes! You all should practice listening to TH, he is a smart guy! He had the right plan.

Also, Metalmarsh, you almost had me earlier... after my ill-advised comment about there being only 1 Civvie left in the game, you started to inquire about what exactly that made me, since I clearly had a partner. I didn't respond, and there was a lot of chatter, and you never went back to it. I was sure that slip-up would get me killed.

We were also concerned that TH would use his Protect on the night we killed him, which would have probably ended with my own lynch at his hands directly... I couldn't resist much more of his sensible talk. I said "he probably used it when he acquired the red hotel..." TH, was I right?

And then MEtalmarsh scooped the Lynch Remover and AutoNightProtect as he died - what a scammer!

Well done, boo, I see why people speak of your games so highly!

I thought my fake read that you and Epig were teammates would throw you off my trail. And I believe it certainly did. You didn't revisit the suspicion on me until I was about to get lynched.

I was pretty certain you were a baby blue. I wasn't going to say it in thread, but it made more sense than anything else. And you're welcome for not building more houses or trading Oriental away.

The RR's ruined everything for me. First SVS killed Epig. Then, the night I was about to gain BTSC with MP via the Captain Planet (which I spent $1500 on), DF killed him. I was out of luck at that point, as I couldn't win with anyone else.

Oh, and DF tried to kill me. I didn't actually roleblock him, but he didn't call my bluff on it, so I honestly thought I might get away with it.

Sorry to call you out DF. If you hadn't landed on WW, I probably wouldn't have figured out it was you.

Rezzie rezzie rezz please.

No, I only know what was in the power description. I couldn't get any more details.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

It's related to power previously made available.

And I'm only asking for your vote today.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, it would make me Public Enemy #1 the moment you're dead.

My knowledge of your ability is that you are aligned with any player that you trade with. If I'm dead, I don't see any reason someone else should have reason to lynch you..

What are your thoughts MP?

Linki:

Yeah, you're probably right that I would be the popular target tomorrow, but I don't see how that affects you.

My proposition to Bass and MP.

Because it does not hurt you in the slightest to have me dead or alive (please correct me if you think I am wrong), I will ask that you each propose to me the trade of your choice (via the host). I have no need or intention to kill either of you, so I will do my best to satisfy your requests, because my choices are pretty limited at this point. I will grant you free passes on any hotel I might own. In return, I ask that you each vote for LC today.

If I am lynched, my properties will be put up for auction, but rather than having the easy access to them, you will have to outbid other players for them overnight.

The ball is in your court.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, it seems MM has outed himself.

Votes MM

Would you reconsider based on the reasons I have brought for to Bass (and also my statements against LC)?

Conveniently, that is also part of your new role description.

boo wrote:Other players will be able to decide whether or not you get charged if you land on their property (if it has a hotel, it gets paid from the bank until then just like everyone else).

Also Bass, yours and MP's win conditions are considerably different than everyone else's. My dying today doesn't affect your outcome.

How do you mean?

I didn't even know that was still up for debate at this point.

Three players have landed on Pacific since it first gained houses. LC has not paid rent yet. That money does add up.

He's right, I don't know who he is, but this is an educated guess.

Long Con wrote:You know Jack about me, I never landed on a utility.

^^^This guy.

Bass, would you reconsider your vote?

How did you do that?

10 minutes before the lynch ends.

I think...

No. Surprisingly.

And that is the exact point I was trying to make. I can only wonder.

My financial status is a joke compared to you and and anyone holding a red.

Oh really? You've been really good about purchasing things at low cost (like me), but you also have yet to pay rent of any kind, while you have certainly earned some in return.

LC. Perhaps force us each to lay all our cards on the table and see what happens.

That is my suggestion.

Hi, reconsider please.
