Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Oh just a quick FYI, I can't clear out my prisoner acct because it is locked so the hosts may need to do that one themselves.
Cheers all

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I remember mentioning my BTSC thread that I wanted to start Don hunting as soon as sig and boomslang were out of the way, but then that kept getting delayed and then they were both town and by the time it was obvious I couldn't do anything about itMovingPictures07 wrote:Yeah, you all didn't get much of a chance to Don-hunt like Daisy and I were thinking would happen because the cops just wouldn't get lynched.Sloonei wrote:I mean I did not know the Police would win in that 3 person scenario.MovingPictures07 wrote:Sloonei wrote:I was unaware of this all game longSoneji wrote:Epi and I very much hinted towards the Prisoner not mattering. The game would be heavily unbalanced if the Cops had to rely on the town to take out the Dons to win, as the Dons were immune to the actions of the cops. Neither faction of town can meet their wincon if only the Dons remained from each family, so Cops win by default if only one of them is alive against both Dons.Do not share BTSC unless specified. Win when all of The Police and The Don from The Sockfaced Famiglia are dead or arrested, but only if their alive and free family members outnumber those of The Sockfaced Famiglia.
But I am also not complaining, just saying I messed up my outlook of the game. It was an adventure and I loved playing in this thing. I'm just glad we at least recovered well enough to identify all the baddies before game's end. It may have taken us a while, but we did it.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Yes, let me do that. The thing is, we removed the main prison yard thread every time we started a new day, and after the Day 5 prison break I cycled out all of the cell BTSC threads as well. The permissions for all of that was a true pain... worth it though. I'll be glad to not have to deal with it, that said.Sloonei wrote:I demand to see the prisonMovingPictures07 wrote:Furthermore, we have a special banner for prisoners who contributed significantly to the entire prison's success throughout various challenges...!!
Daisy and I went through all of the challenges and identified the prisoners we think were crucial to the entire team's success in breaking out of prison. Here is the list. If your name is on it at least once, you are free to wear this banner!
Day 2 - N/A
Day 3 - DharmaHelper, timmer
Day 4 - Long Con
Day 6 - a2thezebra, DharmaHelper, G-Man
Day 7 - a2thezebra, bea, G-Man, juliets, Typhoony
Day 8 - N/A
Day 9 - N/A
Day 10 - N/A
Day 11 - ika, Silverwolf, S~V~S, Typhoony
Congratulations to our prison thugs...
a2thezebra, bea, DharmaHelper, G-Man, ika, juliets, Long Con, Silverwolf, timmer, and Typhoony!!!!
Wear the banner with pride.
I'll hop into our hosting area, dump all the prison yard threads back in there, and make it so you all can see. I'll do that now.

Hey Epi. Why did you never get rid (kill/arrest) of P50, despite taunting him in the open about not getting swiftly removed for his hunts?

That CFD was amazing but it kinda doomed me personally in this game. It caused me to shake up so many of my reads from earlier in the game, and it turned out all of my new ideas were wrong and my old ones were much more on the right track.
Soneji had me fooled the whole time though. If it weren't for those last day shenanigans I was never going to vote for him. Very well played Soneji and the rest of you cops.
This is so very true for pretty much everyone but Silverwolf. Silverwolf has incredible instincts. However, I have never seen so many civs be so absolutely wrong and yet 100% certain that they were right as I did in this game. People who usually have outstanding instincts as well. It was almost painful to watch at times.
Also, I have to share my own Slooneji story. Sloonei, you were originally supposed to be the Chief and soneji was supposed to be my Don, but because I flubbed and got Sloonei and soneji mixed up, I had to flip flop your roles because one of the role card messages was read as soon as I sent it. I felt like an idiot.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I was never expecting that to happen for a moment. Even when I put my vote on Fuzz I was just expecting everyone else to sit on their votes and nothing would change. I came back to thread and EVERYONE was on him. When it actually netted us a baddie lynch I was equal parts confused and ecstatic.Prisoner 509378 wrote:You're still wrong.Epignosis wrote:I told you all "CFD" is foolishness.
Well actually I'm usually not a fan. The CFD wasn't the problem in this game though, it was the townies' reads following the CFD. Now they've all seen it before, next time they'll be better prepared.

I want to thank Jay most of all, after the hosts, for sparking activity and making this game exciting. I probably would have just maintained my under the radar, catching up routine but when he entered it was like: new challenger approaching.
Silverwolf was also very spot on with her reads, loved her passion and feistiness.

As the Warden, I knew he was an original prisoner and therefore not one of the family members. No reason to waste an arrest on him.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
On that note, the prison yard should also be available for viewing, and all daily threads should be in there. Let me know, y'all.
Regarding private conversations, Daisy and I went back and forth on publicizing the BTSC (both prison and player), but in the end we've decided against sharing it publicly. Sorry to disappoint.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Thank You Daisy and soneji and also sig for what you said after I died!! Prisoner 509 and Sloonei were great at analysis and it was really me knowing ika and gut and stool pidgeon stuff that had me doing what I did.Spacedaisy wrote:Sloonei wrote:sorry i spent so much time and energy trying to get you lynched, quin and sig.

I needed to do a better job of explaining my reads. I am an emotional/passionate player and that distracts me sometimes. I was supremely frustrated with feeling like I wasn't being listened to but I didn't have a lot to go on, just gut and the fact I don't like lurkers and the stool pidgeon stuff. It was hard to read, coming back, some of the stuff said about me by indiglo. It wasn't personal but still hard to read.
That said, no hard feeling anyone!!
Damn about the BTSC, I really wanted to see how ika operated here.

And OMG YES, Slooneji!!!! I came up with that, and I was even happier to see someone else did too. I made fun of her for that for so long.

My favorite thing this game was using people's mistrust of me against them, to turn them against townies, valid scumhunting methods and save my teammates. SVS especially was easy to manipulate in this manner.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
I actually almost mixed up Quin and Sig. Since Sig was searching for the rookie cop and Quin was searching for his lover (Nero) I got them mixed up and we sent Sig and Nero a message saying they were lovers and found each other. Luckily, I realized my mistake before either of them opened it and we deleted the message. Oh, and Quin, I felt so bad for you. Your lover was alive all that time and you just couldn't find each other!
Lol, Epi's reaction, was "Fuck, Jay is a prisoner!"

Be as JJJ as I can possibly be. I'll be honest, on Day 5 I was just going for appearances. I didn't care whether my reads were accurate at all, I just wanted everyone to know exactly who I am and give me the parole with the promise that I'd give the kind of effort that is typical of me.
I'm glad it worked, but I also worried the other prisoners would be annoyed by my post-mania and try to stop me.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
How long did it take you cops to figure out I was the Don? I assumed you had me on Night 2 or 3, whenever those failed arrests happened. I even asked Daisy if I'd be allowed to roleclaim because I didn't want the cops to have information that my family didn't. I was not allowed to.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
LOL, yeah, Epi PMed me the moment JJJ started supatowning in the main thread and said something to the effect of "Fuck, JJJ is a prisoner. RIP my team."Spacedaisy wrote:I actually almost mixed up Quin and Sig. Since Sig was searching for the rookie cop and Quin was searching for his lover (Nero) I got them mixed up and we sent Sig and Nero a message saying they were lovers and found each other. Luckily, I realized my mistake before either of them opened it and we deleted the message. Oh, and Quin, I felt so bad for you. Your lover was alive all that time and you just couldn't find each other!
Lol, Epi's reaction, was "Fuck, Jay is a prisoner!"

Be as JJJ as I can possibly be. I'll be honest, on Day 5 I was just going for appearances. I didn't care whether my reads were accurate at all, I just wanted everyone to know exactly who I am and give me the parole with the promise that I'd give the kind of effort that is typical of me.
I'm glad it worked, but I also worried the other prisoners would be annoyed by my post-mania and try to stop me.
Actually, until we broke out of prison, I thought I landed with Diiny in my cell. Which was funny, because Dinny slipped on RYM that he was mislynched. Diiny played hard the first Days on CD-FIVEMOREINITIALS, so I imagined he'd work hard in Prison and Parole duty, too. But yeah, as soon as Day 5 started, I fully realized who I really partnered with.
Plus, I actually had a big schemng plan to pretend I'm Diiny and demand my parole, once prison break would occur... only for the Hosts to enforce the no-hint rule. D'oh.

Can you see it? It should be a subforum under Current Job #2. If not, then I've got more permissions to fix.Sloonei wrote:How did the Prison work? What was going on in there?
Further, if you ISO my posts you should be able to find a detailed spoiler post as well as a few other blurbs that together will tell you about everything in prison.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Maybe it was easy for you because you got out Night 5. Holy heck did we have to claw our way through some insane stuff! Yes, please please please open those Prison Yard threads. I want everyone to behold the insanity of that 10-minute post challenge.Ricochet wrote:Yassss numero 6!MovingPictures07 wrote:Yo, winners, check it out!
Wear it with pride.
Easiest one I ever achieved, too.
Now, let good old Dr. Evil explain a few things...
When I was approached about joining this game in secret I knew that, for me to stay engaged, I had to play in character. The prison aspect sounded like it get get either dull or hostile or both depending on how well we did with those challenges. I gave MP and SD a choice of three characters I would play as:
-Dr. Evil (which they picked, probably because he was the only one with a prison pic)
-Gollum/Smeagol from Lord of the Rings (would have been fun but I probably never would have been paroled)
-Olaf from Frozen (I was secretly hoping they'd pick this one but I probably would have drove too many prisoners nuts and they'd have shanked me)
I played in character 100% of the time until those posting challenges broke me. I even PM'ed the hosts as Dr. Evil. It was fun.
On our first day in prison, I wrote a big long spiel about how the original prisoners should all stick together and make sure only original prisoners got paroled when the chance arose. It was called Operation Improbably Victorious You or Operation IVY. In true Dr. Evil form, this was wordplay because Operation Ivy was an influential ska-punk band in the late 80s that eventually became the 90s punk band Rancid. It was my version of the "Alan Parsons Project" that Dr. Evil created. I later created an acronym for the BUDDY System for the posting challenges but I can't remember what it all stood for. Go find it in the prison threads.
I tried to pick a fight with Scotty during the prison break so I could do the whole "Scotty don't!" bit to some length but he either wasn't around or wasn't interested. I also tried to do the "zip it" and "shh!" bits with a few people but it never lasted long enough. Oh well.
We original prisoners were tight. I'm proud of all of them. We worked so hard and a few of the newbies worked hard too, so major kudos to them as well! The prison, at times, felt like a sick and twisted team-building exercise. It was a trying ordeal but rewarding in the end.
No non-original prisoner got paroled. How cool is that? Operation IVY was actually conceived out of my own paranoia that non-original prisoners would eventually outnumber original prisoners and start shanking us. They outnumbered us soon enough but not enough of them seemed to care or organize enough against us. So thanks for that!
Did anyone figure out it was me behind the Dr. Evil shtick? I was half-worried that it would be too obvious because playing in character would stand out and I've developed a reputation for standing out through my posting methods.

Re: [END] Turf Wars: Battle of the Hosts
Regarding P-Scores, no one's P-Score will be modified for this game, even though I'm a believer in the system. Everyone that did end up flake on participation, whether in the main game or in prison, gave me at least some indication of RL stuff happening or asked to be replaced. I don't feel any of you hung us up to dry or anything like that.
Thanks again to all of you; you made this a truly awesome hosting experience. I still can't believe it's over, even though it was exhausting.
Please keep chugging away questions; I'm sure there are things I've forgotten.
