Oh wow, things have already kicked into gear. Hey guys, how y'all doing? Somber, I like to think that we know each other a little given how many mafia games we've played. And I think you know me well enough to know how I'm thinking about this game. I like the way you think so far and I think we share certain opinions about how to tackle this problem. I can't promise that I'll work with you forever and I'm not going to hide the fact that I want to win but how do you feel about working together for at least a little while? I think our strategy would click pretty well. Byers, you instantly flipped your values based on one vote from an unaligned player. Are you really running that scared? I saw your season of Awful Survivor, you're better than that. I see no reason to believe a single word you've said so far in this game. winv, you just won the Genius. I think it should be somebody else's turn. merk, is your codeword THBEAST? Hal/MMM/Pecota, hey guys I know you from the mafias! How's it going? The rest of you, I've no idea who you are but I look forward to finding out! Here's hoping for a fun game! PS. Don't believe a word Byers says, he's spouting bullshit. ##vote winvirus My word is two words mushed together, by the way. Have fun with that!

Thanatosian posted:Rarity, I find it interesting that you put forth what a snake in the grass Byers is, and then vote for winvirus. I suppose it makes sense from a "not wanting the guy Byers wants dead to die" perspective, but really, with so few votes already cast, it seems like it would make more sense for you to vote for Byers, start a bandwagon there. I'm happy to switch my vote to Byers but there was already a vote on winv and the impression I had was that the two of them were forming an alliance so to me a vote for one is as good as a vote for the other. And I did mean what I said about Awful Genius, winv won a huge forums game just a few weeks ago by ringleading the entire game. I don't want to see that happen again because it's boring.

Somberbrero posted:Thanatosian, I know you have no reason to believe me, but I'm serious when I say that my word is an actual real word that you have seen before. I'm a little confused at the inclusion of nonsense words. On investigation my word is also an actual word! I just never heard it before

Byers2142 posted:I switched when I saw someone start voting in a way that immediate makes me a target. You've played in games with me before and you're not stupid; you know exactly why I reacted like I did, and you're trying to play dumb here. You've decided you're in the group I said should not vote Somber; you think you can beat him in a game of wits, and can disguise that fact. To be honest, you're probably not wrong. You're really not paying attention to what I've actually said, have you? I'm not promising to go with Somber to the final 2 or be lifelong BFFs or anything. I don't even know if I can beat him or anyone in the codebreaking side of this game because we haven't had a real chance to get stuck in to it and see how it works. And you're wrong about merk, I'm open to hearing him out but he hasn't said anything yet so there's not really anything I can discuss there. And is my vote selfish? Of course it is. So is yours and so is winv's and so is Somber's. We're all here to vote in a way that will get us further in this game. I kinda thought that was so obvious it didn't need to be said. And you clearly haven't seen my season of Awful Survivor because if you had you'd know it was actually Awful Big Brother, which just shows you're only saying words to make yourself look good without paying attention to what's actually true. winvirus posted:Rarity, if you sincerely believe "winvirus, you just won The Genius Game, it's someone else's turn" is actually valid reasoning, then I really don't know what to say. It's my vote and I can do it what I want with it, Dad!

Byers2142 posted:That's the problem; there's only an endgame if you don't try to solve the code. I'm not waiting for final two to try and solve the code, and as such I'm focusing on how I can work with other people to solve the code. You're focusing on how to play the social game to get to the final two, where you'll use whatever you've learned up to that point to try and win the final game. The problem with this strategy is that you're relying on every surviving player to have revealed their words. Do you really expect that's going to happen?

Byers2142 posted:My strategy revolves around sharing with people, if not full words than at least information about words, yes. If you look at my initial strategy post, the less likely someone is to share information, the more attractive they are to me as a vote. Except sharing information means nothing because it's meaningless info. I've already said a bunch about my word and there's still not a chance any of you will guess it. All you're doing is trying to gain allies by pretending to give them important info that doesn't actually matter.

Thanatosian posted:Presumably, once things are private, Byers plans to share more in exchange for other peoples' information. The only information that matters is the word. Anything else is unverifiable. I could say to you 'it's a verb starting with S' and you would never be able to tell I'm lying because there are too many words that fit those conditions to test them all. You can be led on a wild goose chase and all I have to do is go 'Haha nope, keep guessing!'

There's always the possibility Nevermore put his word in a different location when he did that list and purposefully made the mistake to screw with the rest of us.

Byers2142 posted:While everyone's scrambling in the PMs to set things up, let's not let the thread die. Somber/Rarity, who's the mysterious third party you're talking through right now? Doesn't seem like it's that horrible to share who talks to whom, especially since it lets us track possible word sharing and find out who's likely close to getting all the words. I don't want to say until I've talked it over with Somb and the other guy. I think it should be a group decision to reveal that. Plus, if I was close to getting all the words I wouldn't exactly announce it to everyone else, would I?

This is how winv plays these kinds of games. He picks on one person to ostracise and forms a gang against that person in order to manipulate the game. He leads from a culture of fear by making you think if you cross him you'll be the next to go and once he has the numbers he just rides roughshod over everything. If that's the kind of game you want to be involved in then vote Thanatos, if you want this to actually be a fun experience then vote winv. And more particularly: Hal, he literally just got finished kicking your rear end in Awful Genius. Why are you doing it all over again?

ActingPower posted:Okay, I misspoke. I did give one person your word, but 1) it wasn't a trade, 2) I gave it to them for free because 3) you promised them you'd give it to them, and you didn't. So that example only further proves that you're the guilty party here. Yeah, that post was in relation to me after I told him I had his word. I immediately corrected Somber in private, I explained the situation and he realised he'd been a numpty. It was a misunderstanding, Somber wasn't trying to spread poo poo about you there.
