Hmm, okay. Piranha could always have been blocked or PM'd in that s/he was declining to use the power. Or the person is dead, D-E-D.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
BIH Dom. Not too sad to see you go. I'm curious as to how Zodac was able to switch the results, but to me, it almost certainly proves his abilities are different in this game in some way. Anyone else read it that way or not?
Why me, Russ? I feel like I remember you saying why, but it's slipped my mind and I'm tired and can't remember.

RIPiywg Kate! Bye Dom! Damn, DP dont let anybody try to mess with the Porcupuss! So far A.S.S. is sill intact for this game. Glad to see Bob gone and looks like we have been lucky with all the possible kills
Hmm, good pint about no piranha plant kills. i had thought it was possibly due to zodac and poll shenanigans at first, but then just forgot. That shouldnt be the case at this point.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Unless its changed for this game, the Pirahna Plant only kills after lynches. It picks a number at night and the person who votes at that number in the next lynch poll gets eaten.Mongoose wrote:So there was no word about the Piranha Plant eating someone or a NP or deadie. And last night was an odd night, so a kill could have been made/attempted. That makes me think that the Piranha Plant player is a no-show.

In MOTU, iirc, Zodac was an indie, and though there was lots of speculation about how he "brought balance to (stuff)", I don't remember him actually doing anything like that. He couldn't have a teammate, could he?
If he had selected Dom and DP last night he could have switched the 'lynch' target to Dom.
I have no idea why anyone would have picked Dom though, I didn't see anything in his posts to suggest he was Bob.
He could also have been picking numbers that get taken by non-players.Mongoose wrote:Hmm, okay. Piranha could always have been blocked or PM'd in that s/he was declining to use the power. Or the person is dead, D-E-D.
We have a few people trying to eat that kill, and we also have had missing votes - if he has been picking high numbers,
like 'number of players - 2' for example, nobody would get killed.
I don't think their team would be missing the pm - even if the player is not showing up, their team would be picking something for them.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
@BF: I know you asked Nev but I was wondering myself so I took another look at the poll. All of those people received votes yesterday. So I think Nev is saying if the Minion did try to kill him last night, then none of those people can be the Minion because they all received at least one vote.
But unfortunately the wording is so incredibly vague in the night post that I don't think we can know for sure at this point whether or not it was the Minion that tried to kill.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
The PP has only had one opportunity to kill so far, which is when it ate K4J. It targets on odd nights, so if alive it will have sent a number in last night that relates to today's lynch and we will presumably see the outcome of that after the lynch. There's no reason to assume it's dead yet.Mongoose wrote:Nev - Indeed, I think the PP PM was sent in, but last time the number chosen was eaten by a non-player (K4J, for instance), it was mentioned in the host post.

Ahh Bullz, you really hit the...bullzeye on that remark. I got too wrapped up in the odd nights to remember that it would affect the even day's lynch.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Wow, that was quite a night. BIH Bob but RIP Dom, like someone else said i didn't see anything that made me believe you were bob. And RIP Kate IYWG and I have no reason to believe you weren't. It's a shame you both personally are out of a champions game early, but i have to say I'm relieved we don't have to worry about bob anymore. There were some other things in that night post but i need to go back and read it because everything was overshadowed by the kills.
I'm going to read back on Kate today to see if there is something she said that may have led to her death.
BWT, it's my understanding that Zodac can pick two people before a lynch and then add their votes together and divide by two to get a tie. Then, pick one of the two to be lynched since he decides ties. I think he probably picked DP and Dom, added their votes together, divided by two and picked Dom as the one to be lynched. All of that was part of Zodac's power in his past game. What I'm trying to say I guess is I don't see that his abilities are different, but maybe there is something I'm overlooking.birdwithteeth11 wrote:BIH Dom. Not too sad to see you go. I'm curious as to how Zodac was able to switch the results, but to me, it almost certainly proves his abilities are different in this game in some way. Anyone else read it that way or not?

And yes, but I could see why a baddie team could err on that side if the first time it picked too low and got a non-player.

The point I was making was that if the minion got to try a NK last night, then it must not have received a vote.
I've since noticed that it's totally possible that Jack was trying to kill me instead though, which we'll be able to verify later
(a few nights with no jack kill will make me fairly confident it was the minion for example)
I'm playing it careful with the rules this game - I've been a bit loose on that front in the past and was suitably chastised for it last time.blindfaeth wrote: Also, do you know how you survived multiple NKs?
But I might, and I'm a little surprised it happened a second time.
linki juliets: The difference would be that that was not a lynch poll, but some kind of inactivity modkill poll.

Oh i see nevin. The timing of when he can use his powers is the issue. Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of that.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
It's true that they could have (and I hope they did). But if they did they're not paying attention and their kill will fail. I think after a few days of PP kill attempts we might actually be able to find a pattern of numbers they're choosing and then hopefully get dead/host/non-players to vote at those times.Nevinera wrote:Quite right as well; I should have reread the role before commenting on it.Bullzeye wrote: The PP has only had one opportunity to kill so far, which is when it ate K4J.

Have you noticed both times the night post mentions you, it was the Manipulators kill? Someone mentioned AP's role could add to night posts in its original form. I wonder if that's what happened on the first night, but it doesn't explain your second appearance.

By Bob! Can't say I'll miss you! Sorry Dom
Kate.
Bullz, I was just going to say that I thought it was the Manipulators' kill attempt on Nev both times, as well. Maybe I misread it this time? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Idk.
But I will be looking at BWT and llama today. Btw, did anyone bother rereading my conversation with him? I'd like feedback on that.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Ok, I read through Kate's posts and couldn't find anything unusual that would have led to her death. She voted for inh twice and then lizzy the last time, but many other people voted for inh and most of us believe he was not on a team anyway but was an indie; Lizzy after all turned out to be good so I don't see how voting for her would have led to the manipulators taking out kate. So I don't know - a random kill or maybe because kate is a great player? I hope someone else looks over her posts in case I missed something.

I'm guessing that the exaggerator's power was to 'exaggerate' someone else's power to work twice and that he used it to get the double kill night one and the double-moriarty night two.
At least that's the only theory I came up with for either of those events that held any water.
I think it just indicates that the baddies were/are running scared.juliets wrote:Ok, I read through Kate's posts and couldn't find anything unusual that would have led to her death.

When you're nervous as a bad team, you tend to try to select targets based on not giving a clue about your identity,
rather than because you have some indication that they're any particular role you'd like dead.
It's also possible it's a redirected kill though, isn't it?
I think MP said that those wouldn't be described in the night posts as different from normal kills.

Thanks! Wow, there's a whole universe of gluten-free items we could be pooping on, and I never even considered it!Mongoose wrote: Russti hoss, you have me in stitches. I say "Poop on a Pineapple" and "Crap on a Catapault" a lot IRL and Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec does similarly. Also, your suggestions were hilarous. I like to mix them up. I say "Poop on a Porcupine" IRL but not while on-site because I don't want it to sound like I'm impugning DP's hygiene.
Glad you guys figured out the Piranha Plant thing. Nev, I agree with you that Zodac's power shouldn't have applied to what wasn't really a lynch poll, and given DP's posts after I was thinking it had something to do with him specifically. What is interesting is that it wasn't a lynch save, and it switched a fatal punishment to another player. I'll read the role list and see what I get.
• Mr. Henderson - [Sgt. Pepper's] – Using his amazing gymnastic abilities, Mr. Henderson can avoid being hit by a night target; without knowing what the power was, he will randomly redirect it to someone else.
^ This shouldn't work, because a modkill isn't techinically a night target.
• Sander Cohen – [Bioshock] – Controller and head of Fort Frolic, Cohen is an artist gone mad, to say the least. Now that he has finished his masterpiece, the Quadytch, he is content, only angered by those who dare to doubt him. He survives the first two attempts on his life, whether by lynch or by nightkill. Every odd night, he may use his camera to take a picture of any deceased individual, revealing their role to him. Wins by surviving, but only if everyone else alive has never doubted him.
^ And this shouldn't work, because it's not a redirect.
I'm stumped. Idk how DP survived, much less redirected the kill. I'm glad he did, and it makes me lean veeeeery slightly civ on him, but it's pretty darn mysterious.
I also agree that we can't really assume it was the minion killing. I'd think it would have said so in the post.Flyin' High wrote: But unfortunately the wording is so incredibly vague in the night post that I don't think we can know for sure at this point whether or not it was the Minion that tried to kill.
I didn't play the previous AG game. Did the Exaggerator's power work from beyond the grave in that?

Re: [DAY 1] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Dev, is this what you mean about BWT and llama agreeing? That all indies should die?Devin the Omniscient wrote:By Bob! Can't say I'll miss you! Sorry Dom
Kate.
Bullz, I was just going to say that I thought it was the Manipulators' kill attempt on Nev both times, as well. Maybe I misread it this time? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Idk.
But I will be looking at BWT and llama today. Btw, did anyone bother rereading my conversation with him? I'd like feedback on that.

I tend to agree. Indies are unknowable loose cannons and in this game what we don't know can kill us.
It's the same one I've always held, so it certainly can't be stupid!S~V~S wrote:I guess I have been holding stupid opinions since 2009, since this has always been my opinion of Indy roles in general.
This is interesting. Why did Dom trust Epi so much? Was he trying to gain civ cred, or protecting his first recruit? Not saying it's worth lynching Epi over, it just caught my eye as I read BWT.birdwithteeth11 wrote:@Dom: I already mentioned why I think Epig is bad. I feel he's trying to keep us from making another attempt at lynching redacted. I feel like he's making an awful lot of assumptions about Zodac's powers remaining unchanged (I honestly don't believe MP would do that).
I do have a question for you though. Why are you willing to trust Epig so much when you've admitted that he's backpedaling? Because I don't see insistence being a good enough reason to go along with someone.
birdwithteeth11 wrote: Why me, Russ? I feel like I remember you saying why, but it's slipped my mind and I'm tired and can't remember.
Night 2. This is for the shield poll. You voted bea, indicating you thought she was the most civ person in the whole game.birdwithteeth11 wrote:I don't get the logic for Lizzy, especially given she supported the wacky software idea. And the people voting for Elo because Epig sees her civ game doesn't fly with me. Although I hardly ever buy the "Because I know the person better IRL, I'm better at reading them" argument. I think all the times MP and I have been wrong about each other is enough evidence of that lol.
I am however willing to throw a vote toward bea. She seems fairly involved and is asking lots of questions and examining multiple aspects, which I generally like to see from her.
Day 3, lynch poll. Now you suspect the person you were most sure was a civ yesterday. "what you mentioned before" was bea advocating leaving BOB alone, not realizing he was an SK. She had actually corrected her position before you posted, but I guess you didn't see what she wrote after that post. The case also just seems wishy-washy to me, and leaves a not of room for backing out if you are bad and your case doesn't stick.birdwithteeth11 wrote:Right now I'm in between bea (for what I mentioned before) and Lizzy for what Epig mentioned about her. But I don't feel terribly strongly about either one, and could be persuaded to look elsewhere.
I'm also going to take the leap of faith and assume that each name on the poll corresponds to that person. Although I get the feeling we're going to be proven wrong about that one.
Then you voted Lizzy and backed off, after I called you on your strange case and bea addressed your points.birdwithteeth11 wrote: I did miss that response from you. Sorry about that.
That pretty much addresses my concerns about you, so I think we're okay for now.
Since then, you've alleged that my case on you was that you're blendy. It's not, and it never was. I always see you as blendy, so I don't take it as a sign of alignment.

By the way, agleam, you're now the low poster. I know you wrote that you would be catching up; any thoughts up to this point?
I'd love to hear from llama, too. He's been uncharacteristically silent.
I wish we could tag people in these posts, so they'd get a notification they're being talked about and come respond.

Wow...a lot happened. RIPIYWG Kate. Bye Dom .
hmm...Any ideas on which number PP would pick?Mongoose wrote:
Nev - Indeed, I think the PP PM was sent in, but last time the number chosen was eaten by a non-player (K4J, for instance), it was mentioned in the host post. Like you said and like I said, maybe I'm reading too much (or just erroneously) into the host post though. Good point about missing votes, though. Very good point indeed.

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Probably a number that's not too high or low. Somewhere in the middle. I think that's how we tended to do it in Mario.Elohcin wrote:Wow...a lot happened. RIPIYWG Kate. Bye Dom .

Re: [DAY 4] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions
Wow, just noticed Epi voted early! Do you think DP is bad, or are you just mad he's not participating? And did you vote early to incite other people to, to avoid the Piranha Plant, or for some other reason?

Yesterday I was *really* sick. I couldn't even stand up. So today I'll be reading through what I missed and seeing if anything strikes me as bad. Right now I'm not really sure what to go on

RIP Kate - and wow - Dom was a surprise! We're getting quite lucky here aren't we? And only one minion to deal with.
Oh socky - if we lynch Bob's minion, will we be told that he was the recruit or will only his original civ role be revealed?

Russti, I won't quote your gigantapost, but yes! That was the biggest interaction between bird and llama that pinged me.
And bird. No. I will try to re-requote the conversation I'm talking about, but it made me delete a quote last time.

I still prefer to vote for the person I think is bad rather than trying to second guess roles with secrets. Call me old fashioned. Found this whole conversation for lazy bums to read Be back!Devin the Omniscient wrote:Only 8 people out of 28 have voted. Zodac has already made his choice. We have not.

We would have to be completely unpredictable, which I don't think is likely, practical or useful.

There, once again the last line of white text is the last thing llama said to me. Please read it before skipping over it again.
