[GAME OVER] Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3

[Marmot]

Me right now.

[insertnamehere]

We got a bunch of cycles before we start knocking people out of the game for real, so this part of the game is basically arbitrary.

I propose that our priority should be knocking out power roles and folks with tons of whiz-bang abilities, so they can't hurt us in the end game.

Posting is an incredibly powerful tool. Which poster should we knock out first?

Would you dance with me Marmot friend? It is good to see you.

Chicka Chicka boom boom
Chicka Chicka boom boom
An angel came, to Joseph and Mary
Said soon you'll have a holy baby
They had to go to Bethlehem
But so many people, so all full inns
Chicka Chicka boom boom
will there be enough room?

You know I would dance with you at the drop of a bass Master Wilgs.

[Spacedaisy]

First of all, speedchuck and colonialbob are cracking me up!

Second of all, why not go by posting, or rather not posting, start with lower posters and move up. Or go the other direction? Since it doesn't really eliminate anyone from the game at this point I mean. Or we could take volunteers, perhaps there are those that would rather shift roles sooner rather than later. Or someone has mentioned they would like to keep their role a little bit before shifting to a new one. Do we want to let them? I'm a little torn. I have an ability, not a secret one and I can't decide how helpful I think it might be. Meh, I don't know what the best strategy is here.

Since I love the Beatles, I'll always vote yes on a Beatles themed poll question.

When you get older, losing your hair, many years from now...

I want to see that avatar. A dwarf losing all his hair...

[speedchuck]

How long, THE GAME? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my Chatzy,
Having sorrow in my role daily?
How long will the Evens be exalted over me?


Consider and hear me, O lord THE GAME;
Enlighten the players,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest the players say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I change roles.


But I have trusted in Your random selection;
My role shall rejoice in Your salvation.

I will sing to THE GAME,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

When Speedchuck came into the region of Mafia The Syndicate, He asked His fellow players, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Speedchuck, am?”

So they said, “Some say an Even, some an Odd, and others a Nine or one of the Primes.”

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I am naming numbers higher than 100 in my mind and trying to figure what which faction they belong to.

What have you done to me gman

[speedchuck]

What do you think? If gman has a hundred roles, and one of them goes to Speedchuck, do they not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the role that is Speedchuck's? And if they should find it, assuredly, I say to you, they rejoice more over that role than over the ninety-nine that did not go to Speedchuck.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

[juliets]

Does speedchuck have a role that forces him to post as a deity or in bible verse form? Or is he just having fun -

[speedchuck]

Just having fun. Take another guess. The hints are there.

[juliets]

geez speed, I read all the roles again and still don't get it. I see three roles associated with the Christian religion but they don't seem to fit your posts. I think I will take a nap and then reconsider.

[Spacedaisy]

I'm guessing he's 91.

[Spacedaisy]

I suppose speedchuck could be the Old Testament number too, but the verses he has spoofed are not all OT verses. I doubt he is the Pope number, but that would be a good one to fake role claim. You would imply you were impervious to NKs, making people less likely to use one on you. Of course, if we thought he really was the Pope, we could simply lynch him, making his immunity to NKs a non-issue.

Side note, whoever gets #42, don't wait until the very end of the game to push that button! Trust me on that one...

[Spacedaisy]

Of course if he is 91, it might be better to keep him around. He could potentially protect people, right?

[speedchuck]

My role isn't associated with Christianity.

Gosh, this is some good day zero fun.

[Spacedaisy]

Oh well, I tried.

[speedchuck]

See, this is why I don't DM riddles anymore. I'm really bad at clues.

[juliets]

speed, see if you are comfortable answering this - is there a reason why you want us to know your role?

[Spacedaisy]

I'm probably just really bad at picking them up.

[Elohcin]

Yo.

Finally a full game.

How are we supposed to play this tho? From what I gather nothing we do at this stage will matter at all since we will probably be at different teams by endgame.

Plus is seems everyone is bad.

THIS. And I assume that our win conditions are just to be a part of the last team alive. Am I correct? And if no one is considered civ or scum, its kind of like LMS except that its LTS (last team standing).

I don't really get what THE GAME is despite reading everything everyone has said so far.

[speedchuck]

speed, see if you are comfortable answering this - is there a reason why you want us to know your role?

Yes. It won't hurt me for people to know (with this role anyway), and riddles are fun.

[juliets]

speed, are you #49, #54, or #96?

[Ricochet]

wolves are Marmot, colonialbob, Sloonei and insertnamehere

[speedchuck]

speed, are you #49, #54, or #96?

I would never throw hints if I was a protective role.

[juliets]

speed, are you #49, #54, or #96?

Ok, I think I'm giving up. It makes my brain hurt.

[speedchuck]

BTW, if I could vote right now, I'd vote for Rico. C'mon, man. That's a terrible gimmick. There aren't even any wolves. I'd prefer any other gimmick to this one.

[speedchuck]

If anyone is interested, let's play a game.

Spoiler: show

Speedchuck indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom Speedchuck is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

The 2-3 hints are in these quoted posts. They're bad hints, but I think figuring it out is possible. I don't have much of a prize to give, but the first person to figure it out will guaranteed not be voted by me all game, no matter what role I end up in. I promise that. Guesses can be made in groups of three. Another player has to guess before you can throw three more out there.

Good luck!

Bonus points to people who can tell me what the hints actually are.
If nobody wants to play...

[Elohcin]

I feel like we ought to sing "100 bottles of beer on the wall".

[Elohcin]

Oh...forgot to vote. Voting yes.

In all honesty whether you wanted to kill me now or later won't have a huge impact on the mid-to-late game (as far as I can immediately tell), but overall I'd say it's beneficial to keep me around for these early lynches.

[Spacedaisy]

So if you have an information type role, would you be willing to share with the thread whatever information you might learn? I have a role that might possibly learn information, though it's pretty limited, but whatever I learn I'm ok with sharing in the thread seeing as how I'm unlikely to stay in my current role or team, so I'd prefer to stick to this role at last for a bit anyway. But whatever happens happens. I'll look death in the face and say "Whatever man."

No pattern there. Speedchuck is clearly possessed by demons.

[Elohcin]

Posessed on day 0 in the game or posessed IRL?

I can't figure out how helpful my role is either, although one thing is for certain, it isn't going to be helpful every single day, it probably could take a couple of days to warm up at best. So I'm sort of torn between getting some time in it to actually get to use it (it is a fun looking role, but low impact I think?) or else go early and just get something that could be more consistent.

[Golden]

IRL probably.

[Spacedaisy]

I'm willing to give you some time in your role, Quin

Are you sure it's not a team of me, inh and sprityo?

[Epignosis]

I already did every possible calculation of chapter and verse number I could think of before I needed a beer.

All I've worked out is that he isn't an even.

"How long will the Evens be exalted over me?"

And that he prefers the ESV.

Lol, I read that as he was an Even because they would be exalted (great happiness) over his role. Speed, since you made the rules after I guessed can I guess again? I know, I know, I said I was going to quit but I just can't help myself.

[Golden]

I think there's a good chance that speedchuck is 13.

[Spacedaisy]

Why 13?

It's a psalm of lamentation, and the speaker is bemoaning his enemies being honored over him. But I see how that reads in modern English.

[Long Con]

After catching up on this stuff... I feel like I should read all the roles.

[Long Con]

I just changed my vote to "no" because I'm not on the Crazy 8's team. As, the number 64 is.

I fear that a "yes" victory will reward that number, and by extension, the Crazy 8's.

[Long Con]
