You were definitely in a disadvantaged position, Vulgard. I admire the fight you gave it; it's what makes these games worthwhile.
If I was you, I might have tried killing Nanook and seeing if you could motivate TSP/Ender chops. That would have been very difficult too, so I understand going a different direction. I view Nanook as the one least likely to be convinced by someone else making a case, so I might just take him out and see what I can do with the others. It'd be no fun though since he stands as one of the apparent mischop options himself.

This foolproof method for determining the GOAT has reduced the candidates to:
ilario - Michael Jordan
TonyStarkPrime - Magic Johnson
Nanook - Kareem-Abdul Jabbar
EnderWiggin - Bill Russell

Special thanks to juliets and to Hally for their extremely diligent MoD efforts. While this wasn’t a perfect game for avoiding toxicity, it was a step in the right direction compared to some recent messes.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Night 3 has ended. alexa was ejected. She was Stephen Curry, the most prolific perimeter shooter we’ve ever seen and catalyst for the 3-point shot analytics revolution that dominates the modern game.
Day 4 will last 48 hours. The hammer vote is 3.

Thanks for your patience. Day 3 has ended. Lime Coke has been benched. He was LeBron James, the Kid from Akron, the Chosen One, LBJ, the single most hyped and over-scrutinized athlete in the history of professional American sports, four-time MVP, four-time NBA champion, four-time Finals MVP, 3rd all-time in scoring, 8th all-time in assists, and by the measures of many, the greatest player of all time.
Night 3 will last 24 hours.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 2]
Poll is up. The deadline is 8 minutes after 6 EDT in two days to account for my lateness. A reminder regarding the majority hammer:
Regarding majority/hammer votes
After Day 1, majority voting will be enacted. There is no mechanism available to automatically close the thread when a hammer vote is placed. For this reason I will have to rely upon the players to follow these rules/guidelines themselves in the event that I am not immediately present to end the day phase:
1. Once a hammer is placed, players should cease posting in the game thread. One or two posts to indicate to everyone that the hammer has been placed would be fine.
2. Once a hammer is placed, no further votes may be placed and nobody may move their votes.
3. Any player with the capability to screen shot a poll once a hammer is placed should feel free to do so and post the screen shot directly into the thread or via personal message to me. This isn't required, but it'd be helpful.
I will be around or nearby most of the time, so I don't anticipate significant delays unless a hammer is dropped during my sleeping hours (late night/morning EDT).

Moderators on Duty aka Facilitators
Both @juliets and @Hally will be serving as MoDs for this game. They'll both keep an eye on the game as best as they can, and if they see fit, intervene when toxicity is too high. They should be your first points of contact within our staff if you believe someone else has broken a site rule. If you believe someone has broken a game rule, you can contact either of them or myself. Most importantly, they're here to listen if you are frustrated and need a space to air your grievances that you cannot air publicly in the game thread. They're both the perfect sort to lend an ear and allow you to say what you will without judgment (within reason).
Game cycle details
- Day phases last 48 hours and night phases last 24 hours. Night phases are closed and the thread is locked.
- Phases end/begin at 6:00 PM EDT. It is possible I might have to wiggle this a little bit if life demands it of me. I will make my best effort to remain consistent.
- We will not have a Day 0 nor a Night 0. The game begins immediately with Day 1.
