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.

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.

^ 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

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.

You meant "substance."

Not "subtance."

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!

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

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?

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.

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.
