I have a hunch that Tyler recruits from fight clubs where he is present. Alex is a genius when it comes to designing a game's mechanics, and I just don't think he cut us up into four fight clubs for nothing. I think it to make Tyler have to think about positioning, etc.
So with that in mind, I checked back and cross-referenced a bunch of notes, and of the players left alive, I count six who have never been in a fight club with DH at any given time. (And please double check that I've gotten this right, if you have the time): Boomslang, Hedgeowl, juliets, Keterman, unfurl and Spacedaisy. If my hunch is right about Tyler, none of those players should be him. And OF those six, going back to my notes, it seems there are four who have either not yet fought, or if they did fight, they lost and are presumably still at fight level 1: Boomslang, Hedgeowl, juliets and Keterman. (Again, double-check if you have time).
I bring all of this up because it seems that there are two ways to kill Tyler now; lynches and fights. But Tyler is likely strong, I could see him starting out higher than the rest of us, so I don't want to accidentally let Tyler fight a level 1 player and make him stronger. I will likely vote for one of the above to fight tonight. I think a fight of low-level players who don't seen to have a connection to DH is safest, personally.
I think this is a really good idea, assuming two of them want to do this. If that does not work out, as a one time fighter who lost, i would be willing to throw my hat in the ring.
This list reminded me that I noticed last night when I looked at the poll that Juliets, who is on this list, voted, but did not post. I have been looking forward to seeing her, and kept going into threads hoping to find her before we merged. I was kind of thinking she was just not playing but then she voted last night. So I just checked, and she has not posted anywhere in any thread of this game. She was not on the Day One poll in ANY THREAD. I skimmed all of the polls, but I think that last night was the only vote she made.
So I am a bit confused about that. I tend to believe the proximity=recruitment thing, and Juliets had no contact with DH, but if it does not pan out, I would be very concerned about Juliets (she has had contact with NO ONE, not just DH). We are playing a game where the primary baddie is a person who does not actually exist in reality, and so far other than being in the sign up thread, the current poll, and last nights vote, neither does Juliets in this game.
I do not know how someone can play a whole game without posting ever, but all of the other roles existed in reality and interacted with the world in the Movie. Tyler Durden did not exist, on a reality level. Maybe I am missing something glaringly obvious, since I am fairly sure that I am the only person to have brought this up. i absolutely will not force someone to fight, nor will i lynch someone who does not talk, but I really, really, realllly wish she would post.
