Evening, all.

I never realized you could post in Sienna. Looks pretty similar to brown but with a little difference.

Greatest fake reveal EVER.

role received

VOTE LATHUM

Just checking.

Quoted for hoopsguy.

I must disagree. The goal of a fake reveal is to accomplish a goal which otherwise you could not accomplish, often for devious means.

Poli's goal with the reveal was to lynch Hoops without revealing as the seer. He failed...at both. Hoops was not lynched and Poli was night killed for being the seer. Worst fake reveal ever.

The following message has been GM approved:

My role does not hurt, or help, the group members. I am on the group member side, however.

You're right. Most fun reveal ever. But I don't want to get side tracked by that now that the game has actually, you know, begun.

Also quoted for hoopsguy.

You cannot be serious. You did not even get your seer scan lynched that day :eek: And you died that night along with your partner.

Part of being "the greatest" anything should involve having some level of success with it :D

2 l8. I alredy voted u, n00b.

What was the game where I fake revealed and wasted a whole 3 days of the village's time lynching villagers? That was a solid fake reveal.

Or the game where I fake revealed as a mafia and Lathum ate it up as the cultist.

Thank you, Dubb.

In that regard, you had a doozy of a fake reveal as a sorceror (or whatever it was called in that game) that set off a chain reaction of villager deaths and protected the heck out of the wolves.

Hoops is mad he had to buy pizza. I rule.

Dubb's games made me believe the force was strong with that one.

As promised, my day 1 vote (for now)

vote RendeR's puppy

that was one of the first games ever played. I think we were dowm to the final 3

Well, as much fun as it would be to hijack this thread for the next hour on the merits of fake reveals (would make for a good thread, actually) I'm going to get some sleep so I'm rested up for our therapy session tomorrow.

C U @ D SILO, HO.

Is this meant seriously? If so, what does it mean?

I'm out of here for the night too, catch you in the morning.

so Poli, why the vote for me?

Comments such as that will be allowed. It's really no different than everyone saying vanilla villager at the beginning of a game even though they could be a number of things.

I'm pretty sure he means he has an unlisted role that's a group member but has additional win conditions and can't help or hurt the group. I say this because I have something similar.

It is serious. It means vote for me. Or don't.

This is why.

so why do you want me dead?

C U @ D SILO, LATHUM.

How many pictures from the last game do you want me to quote?

+ I want to see if Danny is seerius.

Danny, if Lathum is Achilles and dies I will give you the super mad fly props.

No more fun and games, it's time for Poli to hit the hay.

Lathum is wearing some high heel boots, so his survives this time. (not serious)

Tomorrow I may work on posting every word in the dictionary that starts with the letter Q.

I takes my props back.

UNVOTE LATHUM

Hmmph!

so you don't like Lolcats?

Unvote Poli

BAH!

You shouldn't have to askes this question.

I'm not crazy about the deadlines for this one. Just noticed them. Seems I need to get a vote in tonight as I have training tomarrow at 1730 and it is hard telling what time I will actually wake up. May be a slow one for me tomarrow.

With all that said,

Vote Saldana

Welcome back again.

Would you guys prefer a later deadline (say 8 eastern) for the rest of this week and next until class starts back up again? I can still change it as I noticed a couple people have commented on it now.

That would be a better deadline for me, not sure about everyone else.

Good deadline, think 8 is a good deadline, good deadline....

I'm breezy

I made the change to 8pm eastern. Hopefully that will work well for everyone. When we come back from memorial break I will need to make it earlier, but that is a ways off.

Looks good.

vote PurdueBrad

I finally backed off from voting him last game and I see how that ended.

VOTE DANNY

He screwed us that last game more than Abe did.

Wait, is Abe in the game?

If so

VOTE ABE

VOTE Pass

For the record - I'm at a conference tomorrow and going to see Star Trek tomorrow night so you won't hear from me again until after the deadline tomorrow. Let's get a wolf.

Wow, I was going to try to post "in game" with various personalities for awhile. I attempted to disect this post in a Sheldon-like manner (Big Bang Theory). I got exhausted trying to put that post together.

Yeah feel free to have fun with the theme guys, you all are in therapy right now, so some crazy is alright.

checking in

Lathum is a YouTube whore

Seriously? Six pages already? You guys suck. :D

videos may not ne safe for work

Hi everyone,

I'm not used to speaking in front of groups. Without my mother present. In spandex....(pause) (pause) (pause)...what was I saying?

Oh, yeah, I mean no one in the group harm. Unless you look like my dad.

Hi, I'm not crazy, I am just misunderstood.

Also noting that I must have had some youtube trauma in my youth, so block out all youtube videos from even being able to see them.

(ie: I don't see anything from any of Lathum's posts above, while at work. So if they are actually important or game relevant someone let me know... otherwise I'll miss them)

So, anyone have any thoughts on a Day 1 strategy that we should consider employing today?

I'm not feeling particularly vengeful, wrathful, or any other kind of full so I'm looking to avoid voting based on perceived past injustices.

I try not to play "eeny meeny miney mo!" with my vote, so that probably isn't going to happen.

I'm usually up for "vote off the quiet guy" but I'm willing to listen to alternatives if someone has one that I can get behind.

Since I do not know anything about any of my fellow patients, combined with my being away from the boards more than normal today.. my plan is just to wait and see how things unwind during the day. I'll likely have to vote late in the day, so I guess I'll see what occurs while I am gone.

I like the voting for a quiet guy strategy.

EF, I would like you to be more like BK.

I will

unvote RendeR's puppy

That's really nice and big of you. I mean, to be able to put any past injustices behind you like that, must take a lot of will power and personal strength and confidence. I'll try to do the same thing.

Nope, didn't work.

vote Hoopsguy

Alright, I got that out of my system. I realize that consistent day one votes for a person suck. So in all seriousness:

unvote Hoopsguy

Ok so Brad has some kind of voting unvoting requirement.

The question is, does he gain some sort of advantage for it, or does he just get to have fun flipping his votes aroudn?

Im hung over :(

No flip-flop requirement, really just screwing around as I'm bored/annoyed this morning so I was trying to entertain myself. We've been told, and get this, we have to throw out all furniture that is wood or made of materials that are not fire retardant, anything we have plugged in in the building MUST be on a surge protector and, best of all, we aren't allowed to have coffee makers, fridges, etc. in the building except in one centralized location (mind you our school has around 160 staff members).

are you on crack?

Oh, and we can't have "excess paper or books as they are flammable materials as well."

wow... is Poli your boss?

im a good guy dont vote for me.

I'm going to employ a strategy of not voting for myself - other than that...hmmm

Do you mean qrack?

Welcome back(ward), squirrel!


VOTE LERRIUQS

lol

Hmm. So I was realizing that I hadn't even noticed Danny making his post saying the game started -- you know, the one we were all supposed to wait for before posting that we received our role? So I go back to look at it, and turns out, I'm mentioned in it. Anyone have any idea wtf that means?

No. I have chosen to ignore it for now.

you guys were talking about jalapeno Doritos earlier.

Uh -- isn't it raining where you are, too? Just tell them if anything burns, the rain will take care of it!

Ah, got it. I guess that explains why Lathum is here in this asylum -- anyone who doesn't like those must be crazy. But still, wtf am *I* doing in here?

My take on it is the following:


ie: don't read too much into moderator story telling.

Oh yeah, I'm compiling a vote count, that's what I'm doing:

Okay, cool. Just adding to the general craziness.

your crazy, thats why your here :)

HAI GUSY

Yes, I suppose I am crazy. Crazy for apostrophes, that is. :p

huh?

Morning all

Alan already mentioned it, but all that stuff is just added flavor. I had that post written before I even did the role. I am sure I will be name dropping throughout this game, it means nothing in terms of actual game play.

Got it. While Lathum may disagree, I like the flavor.
