I would say it's not going to be a huge time commitment at all, but it'll take longer than like 10 minutes at a minimum. It's hard to put a number of minutes/time on it because it's all conceptual at this point based on the number of participants, hands, and how it all works in reality. I've never held a poker tournament inside a mafia game before, nor have I ever seen one.

Perhaps tomorrow morning EST when I have the list of all my participants we (myself and the participants) can figure out good crossover time frames for all of us, if that window is too large or not specific enough.

Sounds good! I'll have some time in the early afternoon and the evening as well, I think!

Awesome, no deaths! And welcome back, Droopy!
I probably won't sign up for poker since I don't know how to play.

Two words:

Fuck Vompatti.

Welcome back Droopy <3

Welcome back droopy.

Hard to tell whether surviving an NK is civ or baddie. Not even counting all the role secrets, I see multiple ways that somebody of either persuasion could survive an attempt. Not sure this result helps us label the two attempted targets at all. We don't even know if it's good or bad that they survived. We do know, though, that neither Ziltoid nor Herman killed a civ tonight for sure, so that's positive

And yeah, I don't see myself not voting vomps - barring a bad slip up

Welcome back Droopy.

@Trice - Well, it's safe to assume for the moment that they are at least not any of the roles that tried to kill them....

Probably, but not necessarily DH. It seems unlikely that Ziltoid's army would try to NK their own player - and the Ziltoid Monk's role is one of the known (by everybody, I mean) powers to protect from NK. But since we have no idea how reliable his prayer protection is/what the mechanics behind it are, not sure if they would be willing to bluff their kill like that to try and protect one of their own.

theories omg

assuming a "night prayer for safety" is what it sounds like, even

so uh, do we get a poll today?

Sure! But not until later.

Great to have you back, Droopy!!!

I'm definitely in for this poker tourney.

I am the best at poker so watch out.

I knew that if I ever survived a murder attempt it would be thanks to numerous thinly-veiled GBV references.

Either way, that was much too close. Herman better watch his back, I don't negotiate with terrorists. (or avant gangsters either)

Uh oh. I just realized.....what if everyone who decides to play poker sits down at the table, and then.....THEY ALL SIT DOWN ON BOMBS?!?!

No bombs, I promise! At least for poker. That doesn't absolve me of using bombs later.

In sum, a chin scratchy smilie would likely help us all to flush out the baddies.

AD! OMG you've made my day MP!

However, Ziltoid...

Wow, two kill survivals and a rezz! Welcome back Mr. Droopy! Glad the Omnidimensional Creator got heads on his coin flip or we might have gotten a baddie back in your stead!

I wonder what the part about Vompatti in the night post meant.

Wowza! MP your posting stats gave me a nerdgasm!! (Feels immediately embarrassed that I used the word nerdgasm )

I'd love to participate in the poker tournament, however, I stink at poker and I'm not sure if I will have the time. So unfortunately I'll have to pass.

Yay, no civvie death during the night, and major yay for Mr. Droopy's rezz. And another yay that I've finally caught up though i am going to have to go back and read MP's posts again - maybe more than once. I'm also confused a little by some of these names - like who is Rob - and I'm afraid I'm not cool enough to know all this music so I may have to ask questions. This is also probably a good time to note I usually ask lots of questions. Its how I process information, ask questions (some of them picky) to better understand.

I would love to play poker even though I don't know how to play (I figure I could write down what beats what) but this afternoon are the playoffs. I know I would be totally distracted and not a very good player so I have to pass. (insert football smilie)

I still have a Vompatii suspicion. I guess a vote force could be in one of the secrets but as people pointed out voting for rabbit again doesn't make sense in the context of a force for the first vote. So I'm going to ask Vomps again, will you share with us what your personal reasons were for your rabbit vote? Also, SVS makes a good point about why bea's team didnt push more for Vomps.

Very glad to be here with everyone and look forward to getting to know those of you i don't.

At Teaxns/Pats game, will be back after the weekends.

Go Texans!!!!

MovingPictures07 wrote:FYI

I am actually going to push the deadline back for the poker tournament until about 1:00PM or 2:00PM EST instead of 10:00AM EST for scheduling reasons on my part, and also to give a more specific window as well as provide more time for people to sign up. Let me know if this is a problem for anyone.

Set my alarm to wake me up and everything.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Anyone have the vote order and people for this last vote? I'm missing a droopy voter and a rabbit voter.

I most certainly will NOT.

Welcome back Mr. Droppy Cash!

So, no death. Not sure what to think about that at the moment. Great post again, Alex!

As for this new challenge, I simply don't have the time... but I would have won

Vompatti is really making my nose twitch, I have to say.

There are a lot of secrets, but seems to me most of the survivability powers are civ. Captain Spectacular survives Ziltoid attacks, Omnidimensional Creator can survive any attack, Mike Patton can impersonate Spectacular or the Creator to gain immunity. Moondog "conceals," Exuma "keeps away evil spirits," etc. I think it's significantly less likely that either of the survivors are baddies.

Except that it sounds like an entire baddie team has potential for an NK protect

No offense to Sock, and he probably intended it this way, but that role is a little difficult to pin down... "He prays harder for his OWN survival" and "Any members on his team MAY live to see another day" suggest individual protection to me. I can see where you're interpreting it as everyone, though. Also unlikely that both of the survivors are on same team, from sheer probability.

I didn't say that.

Any member of the team could be protected on a particular night, is my read of it.
