MP uses adverbs all the time, even when civ. I suggest you look out for adverbs that could specifically change people's perspective.MovingPictures07 wrote:DH, I will not address any of that adverb nonsense unless you have something you specifically want me to address. That's how I normally talk.

I caught a baddie with the adverb theory in Watchmen.

Disagree, Sloonei was caught for other reasons as well, and he generally uses adverbs in his speech, but if you want to claim that's why you found him as a single reason, go for it.thellama73 wrote:I caught a baddie with the adverb theory in Watchmen.

Not at all! I am the master at winning games when getting lynched on Day 1.thellama73 wrote:I am here, I promise!
MM is just mad that I got him lynched Day 1 in Wedding Mafia with no evidence.
I believe in starting at the beginning, so I choose position 1.
Well, to be more precise, I caught him because he massively overreacted to me accusing him of using adverbs. But the theory is still ultimately responsible.MovingPictures07 wrote:Disagree, Sloonei was caught for other reasons as well, and he generally uses adverbs in his speech, but if you want to claim that's why you found him as a single reason, go for it.thellama73 wrote:I caught a baddie with the adverb theory in Watchmen.

Anyway, I might look in more detail tomorrow, as much as time will permit (my RL position is getting busier and busier until the end of the month and beyond).
Even you acknowledged it wasn't the adverbs, but the reactions, that mattered.thellama73 wrote:I caught a baddie with the adverb theory in Watchmen.

(linki - you beat me to it!)This is a good point.

Still haven't done a detailed analysis, but if option 2 includes a thread lock and the hunger, that might be my vote in the interests of getting it out of the way early.
It is 24 hours, the hosts said so.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Is Day 0 normally the same length as other days? 'Cause I'm falling asleep at my desk and would like to drop my vote before the more lasting period of unconsciousness comes upon me if it's 24 hours.

Depends on the game and host, really. I tend to make my Day 0's the same as my Days, but will end them early if everyone has checked in and there's no point in continuing it. Other hosts sometimes just make them shorter (24 instead of 48).JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Is Day 0 normally the same length as other days?

You guys realize that we could go the whole game without vpting Position 2 if we wanted to, right? The way BR has it set up, there will always be three or more options in each night poll.MovingPictures07 wrote:This is a good point.

I have never played the three previous recruitment games (I'm not sure how that happened), but I'm simply basing it off what SVS had to say on the matter.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Is there a reason people are terrified of "The Hunger" beyond it simply being ominous? As in, has it appeared elsewhere in the annals of Syndicate lore and/or its sibling sites?
It originated in Recruitment I as a secret role and killed players in very mysterious ways, forcing them to do or not do certain things, then killing them, like a ticking time bomb type of role. I wasn't entirely privy to it, though, since it wasn't on my team (Erlatz). It has made appearances in subsequent Recruitment games hosted by BR and LC.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Is there a reason people are terrified of "The Hunger" beyond it simply being ominous?

SVS said she has had that role and been a victim of it. She didn't explain details, but she did say it is a horrible way to die.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Is there a reason people are terrified of "The Hunger" beyond it simply being ominous?

Serenity is the Game Moderator, not a role or game related. We are trying out having the game mods be anonymous for a game or two. Just wanted to let you know this, since it is not game related.nutella wrote:Ugh, looks like all the positions have some bad stuff.
What's all this about adverbs? Discourse analysis in mafia, eh? Could make for some cool linguistic research
Serenity, now that's interesting...
I apparently have missed something then, if this is true. Can someone confirm this? I'll go look right now.Metalmarsh89 wrote: You guys realize that we could go the whole game without vpting Position 2 if we wanted to, right?

Glad you brought this up, MM.Black Rock wrote:After the third position is chosen I will recycle the first position chosen and will continue like that. We should always have three positions to choose from. There are circumstances that could change that or force things.
gerunds are obviously the most evil. A verb masquerading as a noun? Imposter!Bullzeye wrote:Why all this fuss about adverbs? Personally I've always found nouns to be the most suspicious part of language...
Oh, my understanding was that we had to cycle through all positions before that could happen. That does change things a little.Metalmarsh89 wrote:You guys realize that we could go the whole game without vpting Position 2 if we wanted to, right?

Have you been a victim of this?Ricochet wrote:A horrible way to die is to get mislynched without anyone caring about your defense, but that's just me.
I've had my share.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Have you been a victim of this?Ricochet wrote:A horrible way to die is to get mislynched without anyone caring about your defense, but that's just me.
I would still agree though. Watchmen rings all the bells here.
Watchmen, yes. "Golden is bad because he did a really obvious attempted save on the baddie we lynched".Metalmarsh89 wrote:Have you been a victim of this?Ricochet wrote:A horrible way to die is to get mislynched without anyone caring about your defense, but that's just me.

I've done a look through and, given what MM pointed out, I'm happy with option 5.
DH is the one who dropped the poll to four people, the other three of whom had virtually zero reason to lynch at that stage.Ricochet wrote:You mean DDL?

I had every reason to be lynched on Day 2 in Watchmen.
