Frisky Dingo ENDGAME

[Tangrowth]

Spoiler: show

Totally stoked to start playing this game! I’m pretty sure I’ve played at least one game with most of you, but if I haven’t, hello new guys! My strategy this game is going to be a little fast and loose, but I’m ready to wreck face.

Does anyone have any questions for me? Really nervous since I haven’t even seen a single episode of this show… Anybody know who Brent/Trent are? Killing one of them is gonna be an interesting decision, and I feel like I’d make a better choice if I knew more about them. Every Day 0 Poll is almost always nerve wracking.

Who wants to take bets on the first person to ask if anyone has poll info? At least there are only two options. Seems less likely there would be too much oddness with just two options to go off of.
The one problem I can see us running into pretty early is the lack of activity from some of the newer folks, but I’ll hold off judgement on that until more people start to trickle in or the days start to tick by, whichever comes first. Having inactive players (however intentionally) is only going to hurt the civs as the game goes on; having just won a game based on that, I don’t plan on tolerating it if I can help it. Everyone needs to pitch in.

This post is getting a little long but it’s late so it will probably be my only post of the night, better to make it count. Happy to be playing a full game again! I don’t think I could handle a 24/24 game again so soon after Watchmen. Ready to take my time and read everything carefully. Don’t expect me to fuck around with ISO’s or rainbow lists or whatever though.

Rainbow lists, as (inexplicably) popular as they’ve gotten, piss me off because they are annoying and serve no real legitimate purpose. Others obviously disagree, but I figure I’d best get my thoughts on the matter out early; I won’t hold it against anyone who wants to make one, but I won’t really hold those lists in a high regard either. But that’s probably my stubbornness influencing my game. I don’t adapt well to change. Now before I get too ramble-heavy, I’m gonna bounce outta here; bye guys!

Hello, DH!

Rainbow lists aren't popular.

This game is 48/24, right?

Agreed on nonparticipants, here's hoping we don't have any.

MP acknowledges this post, but doesn't comment on the saccharine bullshit contained therein.

"Really nervous since I haven't seen a single episode..."

Get bent DH. Fuck that. Pff.

That's my first thing.+

???????

I'm confused, what's your point?

My point is you commented on his post without commenting on the bizarreness of it. That's strange. That is unexpected.

I'm a bizarre dude.

[Epignosis]

You're Mafia. I'm confident. 100% I'll stake my Mafia reputation on it, MP.

[Epignosis]

Hey everyone, and thanks MP07 for the head's up!

I'm also suspicious of HamburgerBoy.

And know this: I have ZERO qualms voting for new people. Never have. No one gets a pass.

[Long Con]

Yes, what. Do they speak English in What?

Who said what?

I won't vote Epig because of reasons I have stated in other games, and he has qualified for an exemption by my current standards.

[Tangrowth]

You're Mafia. I'm confident. 100% I'll stake my Mafia reputation on it, MP.

Lol. Real funny. :P

But you're wrong.

They legalize gay marriage in Canada or somethin?

But you're wrong.

But...but...what if I'm right?

[Bubbles]

^ that escalated quickly :P

I don't know who to vote for yet, probably give it another day.

Not possible, my friend.

How many drinks have you had? :P

[Epignosis]

Let's do this the old fashioned way: MP, why didn't you comment on the odd, purposeful tone of DH's post?

He's just mocking me because I said the same thing in Watchmen about Elo and was terribly wrong. :P

At my age, I stop counting. 14 is a close mark.

Trying to discredit me?

[Tangrowth]

Lol, the moment you have anything of susbtance for me to actually respond to, I'll do so.

[Epignosis]

Just checking in. I closed yesterday so apologies for not getting in here sooner. I echo what MP said regarding wedding stuff going on. Only I am flying to Ohio on August 1st. It is hard to say how active I will be from August 1 - August 14. Sorry guys. I'll do my best, but whatever happens I fully intend to have some fun here.

Never watched the show, probably won't. Sorry Logan.

I like rainbow lists well enough, I don't understand why people hate them. They are no different than asking someone to give you a list of who they suspect or trust. I don't make rainbow lists myself. Because I'm lazy. Too much time to change font colors. Can't be bothered.

I'm going to vote Trent, because I can.

I didn't like this post either, while I'm busy making friends.

[Epignosis]

You meant "substance."

Not "subtance."

Read a book.

NO I MEANT SUSBTANCE, DAMMIT

[Epignosis]

Before people start to complain to Steve Harvey about me...come on now...

Let me just take this opportunity to say that MP and Spacedaisy are ten days away from making a lifetime commitment.

They're good people. Can't wait!

That said...come on MP. Come on SD... Let's tangle in some Frisky Dingo.














OK, that sounded nasty.

[Tangrowth]

Frisky Sock is frisky.

[Epignosis]

Who is bad, Frisky Sock?

Llama: In future lynches, would you mind reordering the players alphabetically? Because it makes it easier to keep track of everything!

For that matter, anyone who hasn't posted yet.

I've talked.

I'm sorry, but who's Stan?

[timmer]

Sorry guys, I didn't realize that we had started!

I'm a little pinged by the fact that SVS apparently misread the roles, since her reply to Long Con about the Xtacles isn't accurate. But I suppose that's a ping that doesn't really indicate an alignment so I'm not sure where to go with it. I'll tune in more tomorrow night. Game on!

[Long Con]

I'm sorry, but who's Stan?

Stan is a guy who's going to automatically start killing some relatively important Civs every day on Day 2.

Stan - Runs the Crews company when Xander is too lazy to do it, but has no real allegiance except to himself. Briefly masqueraded as Awesome-X. While he is alive, one of the Xtacles’ heads will explode every day.

I dont really see how misunderstanding the roles could be indicative of her alignment. Are you thinking from an angle like baddies don't have to care as much as Civvies about understanding all the roles maybe?

[ika]

long con is there a reason for the color lolz?

[Long Con]

Nah. Just my zany contribution to the lively social play. Bonus: I get to say more than 8-Ball Magillicuddy.

[DisgruntledPorcupine]

;o

[Long Con]

Some guys are only posting in text-emoticons.

[HamburgerBoy]

I wonder what these sarcasm tags do

Not sure if being sarcastic.

[HamburgerBoy]

May I selectively use strike-through tags to choose which parts of my posts I won't allow people to case me on? I think it's only fair, since I took the effort to redact the words before anyone else even had a chance to read them.

I misunderstood Xanders messages, I was thinking any civs could get that info. Even understanding it, I am still leery of Xander sharing his identity. Although I think the risk is fairly minimal since the roles are not very vague as llama roles can sometimes be. I am sure Timmer has seen me make similar careless errors regardless of alignment, so Timmer. The last game we played together I went the whole game having misread my own role Lol.

I have read the Epi MP convo a few times. If I have learned anything it is that blurting out my opinion on either can be a mistake for me so I want to reserve judgment at this time.

My phone corrected Xander to Cancer yikes. And the color tags are really hard to read on the light theme, so I may have to switch to dark for this game.

Ok, no more colour tags.

And you're wrong, Xander should absolutely let the Xtacles know who he is. For starters, we won't be mislynching him then. And if he can get the Xtacles coordinated, they could actually protect him at night, every night! In addition to that, so long as enough live, they could coordinate a roleblock every night as well, which could end up finding baddies when kills fail.

Sure.

We also have the OT tags which makes the text green for off-topic. If you use this, then Epignosis is less likely to build a case on you.

How do you suppose the xtacles will get coordinated? They don't know the identity of each other, so that's actually WORSE. Protecting takes 2 people, but how do the xtentacles know which 2 should do it? They could end up putting 4 on him and killing him instead.

It's like asking 6 horses to decide as a group where the nearest bathroom is. They would tell you, except they're bloody horses, mate.

The whole mechanic is hogwash and disproportionately random.

LC, I don't think you're thinking through these strategies, and honestly I don't think you are on Xander's team.

I noticed this as well. I think extreme caution indicates that role outing should not be insinuated with an info dump. That is just a guess.
