Got 'em.

[reywaS]

my role is "Coolest Guy" and my alignment is just listed as "Kyle"

idk what that means :\ is that good

Well my entire role was to find who the Coolest Guy was to achieve my wincon so this game was easy.

but but but but...

Im here so we can all officially begin. I got my cool guy socks on for you all. Seriously I was just gonna go standard white socks but this game inspired me to wear these.

my win condition is to figure out who the biggest nerd is and let's just say i just achieved it twice B)

[reywaS]

reywas is bad because he thinks his socks are cool but they're basically just orange and gray, and also he hasn't said hi to me even though we haven't talked in 11 million years, too busy talking with his teammates in chat to remember his old friend probably, end text

I could counter your beef by saying you haven't said hi to me...but i'll be the good guy.

HELLO, KYLE!!!!!! How've you been broseph?

[Epignosis]

The lady on the left?

Telma Hopkins.

Who?

Aunt Rachel from Family Matters.

orange/grey is such a weird color pairing amirite

Have we met?

[reywaS]

So...we just gone let the mafia not have to talk?

Okay.

M Plus 7: dog-pee or die, mofo!

Please no. I don't want 470 posts to read tomorrow.

mmm yeah need that sweet sweet middle ground

You and I would be best friends in real life.

Looks like staged banter. amirite?

[reywaS]

What prompts a person to decide to pull a shtick for a game? A guilty conscience? A desire for more fun?

Bob's shtick comes at a time when the Day 1 is trying to rev up. Where we are looking for something to focus on. I find that the shtick has little possibility of helping further the Civ win, so what is it? A place to hide?

[VOTE: colonialbob] aubergine

He's no Kanyewas that's for sure.

[dunya]

so DDL just contacted me and told me i'd won a socky and i was shocked. totally didn't expect any awards this year! thank you so much to everyone who voted for me, i don't feel like i deserve it more than any of my fellow nominees, but i'm honored to have been among them and humbled to have won. love you guys and hope to play again as soon as life settles down.

and DH, i'm so glad you announced my win, it was a real treat hearing your voice. and thanks for the banner, LC!

We already did that trick. It was literally an argument.

[VOTE: Long Con] aubergine

[reywaS]

[VOTE: S~V~S] aubergine

A nostalgia vote for SVS, but she's also quite obviously bad bad bad.

[speedchuck]

I don't know how to get this going. It's Day 1, is it not?

Memories of speed games from The Piano days are coming back to me. Those were the days when these rapid-paced games weren’t taken so seriously. We had an understanding that those were the kinds of games where everyone could chill out, goof around, and play like crap. Sheer luck won in those games.

I really want to play a game like this. It sounds really fun.

But I also want to win, so...

Got 'em.

Mafia are more likely to read the rules, though. Fact.

Alas, I have not. Only skimmed down to the award presentation guidelines.

I do get what people are seeing in LC too, his call-out of cbob was opportunistic weaksauce. So rn it's between Epi and LC for me-- gimme a good Clásico boys

[nutella]

Oh and in case it wasn't clear I believe that Epi is exhibiting behavior that indicates he received a mafia role card.

His interaction with me, his interaction with you about the rules, all give me sketchy vibes in light of how he played Vanilla.

As the spirit award winner, I think we are supposed to thank you.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I have started a list of award winners in the game's second post, and I will update it throughout the ceremony.

Pure recency bias, my dear.

better than i've been in my entire adult life...no complaints at all. I'm glad I found my way back around here for sure.

Are you and Epi scum mates again?

[nutella]

Oh and in case it wasn't clear I believe that Epi is exhibiting behavior that indicates he received a mafia role card.

Are you and Epi scum mates again?

Of course not. It's the perspective I gained from being scum with him recently that is drawing my attention to some of his behavior here. Maybe there is some element of recency bias, I should admit, but it is based in actual content. Like look at how he deflected the "reading the rules" accusation back onto speed.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I had a sudden urge to call you out for being too much on the fence then I remembered that's beating a dead horse at this point.

But hey, gotta do it at least once every game I guess.

Here's the post in which she implies she knows speedchuck isn't bad.

[nutella]

How on earth do you pull that out of there? I have no idea what speed's alignment is, though I guess the implication is that if you are bad as I suspect, he is town. Nothing in that post suggests I *know* he is town.

[nutella]

Maybe you read it that way because you know he is town.

[Epignosis]

Maybe you read it that way because you know he is town.

[Lunalee]

Ugh, the poll has way too many single votes on it right now.

[speedchuck]

Ugh, the poll has way too many single votes on it right now.

Maybe you could fix that?

Lol last time someone called Luna out for not practicing what she was preaching she was bad

I don't necessarily suspect her for it here though. Only so much one can do

But we only have 4.5 hours so yeah who should we start grouping votes onto? I'd love to hear thoughts other than my own

[G-Man]

My church just cancelled all evening activities due to the polar vortex of doom, so now you’re stuck with me until the deadline. Lucky you.

[speedchuck]

Oh.

[speedchuck]

So many inactives...

24 hour day...

hm

[G-Man]

Makes you wonder if killing an inactive is the right move.

[speedchuck]

Makes you wonder if killing an inactive is the right move.

Doesn't it though? (inactive in my eyes being someone inactive in the past 24 hours, btw. Everyone's posted at least once, I think.)

But at the same time, mafia folks are more likely to post just a little to get by IMO. Gives them a way to control the vote if we start going after inactives.

I don't really want to lynch the more active people or the inactives, but how do I choose between people who have only made a few non-game-related posts?

I would fix it if I felt confident on where to vote. Guess I only have about 4 hours to decide.

The way you start the sentence with "lol" before throwing shade at someone then saying you won't "necessarily" vote for them triggered my senses.

[Lunalee]

People who have voted and have not posted a lot:
Nova (5 posts) voting LC and doesn't really say why
Long Con (5 posts) voting colonialbob for only posting in pictures
DDL (5 posts) also voting Long Con because Long Con is voting C-bob for the picture post gimmick. okay.
