WW CXLVI: Portal GAME OVER - Test8

[CrimsonFox]

<*BLEEPZT*>

Good Morning.


Please wake up.

[CrimsonFox]

...

[CrimsonFox]

I said... Please wake up...

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

[CrimsonFox]

***************WereWolf CXLVI: Portal***************

Thank you for waking up. It is good to see the electroshock conductors on your mattress are doing their job. And now it is time for you to...


Good Morning. Welcome to Aperture Science test Labs. Please wake up and look around you.

http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/6/6f/Test_chamber_00.jpg

[CrimsonFox]

You will notice that the glass rooms each of you are encased in are fully operational and provide stimulating lemon-fresh scented air. For those allergic to lemons, styptic pen medication is also being spritzed into the air. For those that react badly to styptic medicine, a pungent anti-inflammatory will relieve the symptoms of styptic medication. To cancel out the pungent smell, we are pumping in lemon-fresh scented air.


<*BLEEPZT*>

[CrimsonFox]

Please relieve yourself before we start as I am not stopping once we begin. There is an Aperture Science Bodily Fluid Receptacle located in your Aperture Science Test Subject Chamber to your right. If you are in need of some refreshment to replace bodily fluids lost during hypersleep, there is an Aperture Science Bodily Fluid Receptable located in your Aperture Science Test Subject Chamber to your right.

>*BLEEPZ*<

[CrimsonFox]

For this first test, you should stand up and write your name on the list in front of you. An Aperture Science touchtype Keypad and terminal has been provided for you. Please do not confuse this with your Aperture Science Bodily Fluid Receptacle or it will come out of your pay. Approach the Aperture Science Touchtype Keypad and TYPE IN THE WORD "IN" below. This will indicate your willingness to be a participant in today's test. If you do not know your name, just type something in. If you do not type something in, then I will call you other things. This will signify that you are alert and ready to proceed with the next test.

Aperture Science Tester Rules and Instructions

Rules will be listed at regular intervals here on your terminals.
1. You must wake up.
2. You must sign in to participate. If you sign in before you wake up, it does not count.
3. In case of accidental dismemberment, incineration, hypothermia, charbroiling, drowning, or spontaneous decapitation, scrub bots will be dispatched to ensure no one slips on any part of you. At this time everything about you will be completely known and revealed to the world. (Including morality, affiliation, special abilities, and the parts that no one wanted to know...)
4. You are a tester. Your job is to test. You will be told what you are testing at the beginning of each test.
5. Any relation of the Aperture Science Official Test Chamber Rules, Instructions, and Tasks to a game of Werewolf is purely coincidental. Although coincidentally those that have participated in Werewolf will see that all the basic rules of said game apply (MAYBE!). Coincidentally the Aperture Science Astrotechnolawyers will brief you of any coincidence and how any and all of those rules are really the property of Aperture Science.
6. There is one test per day. You have a deadline by which you must complete each test. This is discussed further in the next section.
7. Have some cake. It is good for you.
8. The most important thing to remember is *FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT*
9. To vote for someone, simply type their name after the word "VOTE" and put it all in boldface. Like this: VOTE MARY
10. You may unvote for someone you voted for like this: UNVOTE MARY

A complete copy of the Aperture Science Test Subject Rules is located in the next test chamber.

>*BLEEPZ*<

[CrimsonFox]

Basic Game Rules

Signing your IN on the Aperture Science Radioactive List also submits you to the binding oath of an NDA. You must not talk about your experiences in the Aperture Science Official Test Chambers outside of this thread or in PM unless given permission to do so.

Testers may not edit their posts.

Do not quote any post given to you by anyone (living or dead) in this thread. Doing so will result in a fortfeiture of pay and a revoking of your breathing privileges.

Starting Time
Game will most likely start on Monday, May 7.

Deadlines

10 PM EST/ 7PM PST - Deadline for Day Actions, voting, and cake eating. Any post with a vote marked 10:01 or later will not count.

11 PM EST / 8PM PST - Deadline for Night Actions

Write-ups and results will always be late, sometimes purposely. Deadlines however do not change unless I specifically tell you they have.


Victory Conditions

You win when you complete all the tests (and are Still Alive).

[CrimsonFox]

http://www.kalonjibakery.com/images/Cakes/c10.jpg <---------------------- YOU!

[Julio Riddols]

What the sam hell is going on here. I'm intrigued.

[CrimsonFox]

We understand that some test subjects do not in fact know how to spell their name, so we have changed the Aperture Science Test Subject Test Instructions above to indicate that to participate in this test, you should simply type the word "IN" below in the color of your choice and click the REPLY button. Those test subjects who do not sign up will be invited to nap in their Aperture Science Test Subject Chambers where we will conveniently remove any excess oxygen needed for participating test subjects.

Hello, Glados, it's nice to meet you.

Any idea when full rules will be posted? I need to judge whether I could play this one or not.

[CrimsonFox]

Any idea when full rules will be posted? I need to judge whether I could play this one or not.

Thank you for the interrogative nature of your question. Rules are given to testers in the Rules post at the top on a need to know basis at the beginning of each test chamber. Any further revelations will contaminate the results of the tests. Stand by for mandatory interrogative natured shock.











*Bzzzzzt*

[bhlloy]

In. This sounds wacky and CF enough to give it a whirl

[CrimsonFox]

Any wackiness that is misconstued has probably been misspelled from the similarly named appropriate test chamber, The Chamber of Whack-i-ness.

[Barkeep49]

Alright I'm in. I am sure I will be considered aggressive and suspicious quickly as inevitably happens whenever I play the random game, assuming I really do have the time to play.

[hoopsguy]

In to harass Barkeep when he is overly aggressive and suspicious.

[PackerFanatic]

Portal? Abso-fucking-lutely. In.

I'm gonna be off that whole week crimson.. The cake is a lie though..

Never played it, so going to be relying on Wikipedia to figure stuff out. Advantage = you (and 80% of people signed up, I'm guessing).

[Darth Vilus]

I'll play

[CrimsonFox]

Lie.

Never played it, so going to be relying on Wikipedia to figure stuff out. Advantage = you (and 80% of people signed up, I'm guessing).


These two statements do not add up. Is your lie a lie? If you have truly never played it, then go buy it on steam for 10 bucks and you'll finish it in a night. Spoiling yourself on wiki is not a good idea. (in terms of that game).

Too late on the spoiling - already read the articles on Portal 1 and 2 to try and prep for this one.

I tell myself that I'll go back and play old games at some point, but that list seems to keep growing and the number of games I play keeps shrinking. Sucks getting old :mad:

[Julio Riddols]

Might as well give it a shot.

IN

[CrimsonFox]

The lack of Bright Aperture Science Tester Colors chosen from the Bright Aperture Science Tester Color Choices despresses me. And you know what happens when I get depressed. Tests go from happy bright pigmented tests to depressing grey deadly tests.

*>BZZZT<*

[JAG]

Never played it, so going to be relying on Wikipedia to figure stuff out. Advantage = you (and 80% of people signed up, I'm guessing).

Never played it either.

[Danny]

Welcome britrock! And good to see Kimbo and Ragone playing again.

[CrimsonFox]

Never played it either.

I just played through it again as I have such a high intelligence and ohhhh I dislike the ending. It burns me up. That fat person spoiling all the tests. How depressing. You can tell it is not real because someone survived.

>*BLEEPZT*<

[Barkeep49]

Seriously, people who have never played Portal are missing out. It is, in my mind, just an essential part of the Video Game Cannon.

Same here, never played it, but at my rate of playing a video game once every few years, I'm not going to ever get around to it too. It won't compete with whatever holographic wonder is old hat when I play a game next.

[Autumn]

And as I predicted, Dungeon 2 gets some werewolf rolling again.

[Danny]

I'll play too, though I hope I don't get lynched for being too quiet.

[Passacaglia]

So...Portal is a game?

[hoopsguy]

I hope I don't get lynched for not being evil enough.

[PackerFanatic]

Seriously people who have never played Portal are missing out. It is, in my mind, just an essential prat of the Video Game Cannon.

Totally agree.

[CrimsonFox]

Seriously, people who have never played Portal are missing out. It is, in my mind, just an essential part of the Video Game Cannon.

Let's put it this way. Every couple years, computer game magazines write a "Best Games of all time" article. Since it came out, it's frequently number one.

[CrimsonFox]

If Zinto were here, he'd say how much Barkeep loves being a prat. Since he isn't I will and officially rename him Pratkeep. While you're waiting, wave to the other test subjects around you that you cannot reach. When testing is complete, you will share wonderful refreshments on lemon-soaked paper napkins.

The Portal will open in.....7 Days.

>*BLEEPZT*<

[PackerFanatic]

Nuts, I missed the "choose a color" line. Apparently I need to read better...

[CrimsonFox]

Admitting failure is an admirable quality in testers. So is the ability to laugh at failure. Please, everyone join in to help yourselves by laughing at Packerfanatic's failure. You may now pick a color.

>*BLEEP*<

[Julio Riddols]

In keeping with the lemon scented theme I'll go with this color then. Its so easy to read.

Wonder how this will look on the Green theme I use? Probably not the best ...

Welcome britrock! And good to see Kimbo and Ragone playing again.

I'm sure it wasn't somebody's idea to lure me to these games with Portal, but it certainly worked. Now, how much of Portal 1 can I get through while I should be writing my term paper...?

[Danny]

Is that an image from portal?

[CrimsonFox]

LOL...no it is not...

[Autumn]

Will you just start this already?

[CrimsonFox]

Going to give stragglers a chance to signup and I had already told people we are starting next week. Would be rude of me to change now. Will give me a chance to clean out my dungeonfilled PMbox. But I will make a note that you want to test first.

[tyketime]

Weird. I guess I am adjusting to these new chambers. Finally slept deep enough to dream. I thought I saw a man turn into a wolf-like creature. So I started running. Towards a blue light, and then an orange light. Blue. Orange. What does it all mean?

[Autumn]

Next week?! Inconceivable. You're just greedy, CF. 17 players isn't enough for you, oh no.

[Danny]

Each day the game does not start, I randomly edit out one person from the player list.

[Passacaglia]

Welcome britrock! And good to see Kimbo and Ragone playing again.

Oh, that hurts!

[EagleFan]

Crap, I would love to give this one a whirl but I'll be gone all next week for work (and it's one of those open ended trips that could last a week or a month; depending on how things go).

[EagleFan]

Dola: Though Portal 2 is even better so maybe I'll be able to playu that one if it happens. ;)

[Danny]

Oh, that hurts!

I've played with you many times! They are new players. But its good to be playing with you again as well :)

[EagleFan]

CF, your PM box is full.

[Danny]

CF, your PM box is full.

I think if there is no night kill, instead of assuming a block, we can assume the order just got bounced back cause his PM box was full.

[EagleFan]

I think if there is no night kill, instead of assuming a block, we can assume the order just got bounced back cause his PM box was full.

I don't think so. I bet there was a block of some sort. I find it funny that Danny immediately tries to convince us that a block didn't happen.

[EagleFan]

I also see JAG lurking silently. That must mean something.

:)

It's all coming back to me.

[Danny]

I don't think so. I bet there was a block of some sort. I find it funny that Danny immediately tries to convince us that a block didn't happen.

Sounds like you are trying to force a reveal from me? Very wolfish there.

[CrimsonFox]

The testers known as britrock, Julio, Ragone, and Kimbo might want to look through their testing manuals while they are waiting to brush up on things (and by manual I mean look at other games/threads in the Werewolf forum that are over 1000 posts to get a feeling for how most of these things go).

[JAG]

I also see JAG lurking silently. That must mean something.

It was the neurotoxin, I wasn't allowed to post for 24 hours.

This made me realize how much I miss Werewolf! It's been a long time!

The Portal will open in: 5 days.
Aperture Science has gone: 2 days without an on-the-job death. Happy anniversary! Cake will now be served in the room of spikes to celebrate.

Yeah, wasn't aware while we were chatting on Steam that you had the advantage of being on the West Coast. I got through the final cutscene at about 3:30am Eastern. Lovely.

Anyone who feels they did not receive an Aperture Science officially forwarded PM should contact the name on the left immediately by super secret Aperture Science PM.

If you are what is ordinarily considered in terms of this game a vanilla villager, your Aperture Science officially forwarded PM will mention that you are an Aperture Science Tester.

Test 2: Voting
3921
Congratulations, Test Subjects.
We had almost unanimous success with the signup test. Now we begin your next test: You will vote for a fellow test-mate.

To vote, simply display the word VOTE followed by the tester's name and decorate it in Unified extra thick aperture science text known as Boldface.

As in

VOTE MARY

This will signify that without any confusion or unsubstantiated data error, that you are voting for Mary. You have until 1900 hours PST to complete this test. You must vote for someone. If you do not vote for someone, votes for you will be processed. The winner of this test is the person who receives the most votes. Then a party.

Hello fellow testers.

I'm wondering if there will be any actual tests here in this silly testing facility. Or if we're all just supposed to sit around and listen to this annoying voice all day and vote to off each other.

Did you hear that, Gladdy? Are you going to give us a test? Or is this "Testing Chamber" as poorly named as it is ugly?

I'm going to put a vote down now - have a conference call, then off to (rainy) Wrigley Field to watch some baseball.

Wait, that probably doesn't happen in Portal-verse. Um, I'm going to have to re-submit some tests of some sort for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time ... yeah, that is in flavor for the game, right?

Since I had to be nice to him all of last game, I'll switch gears for this one and put a 2nd vote on him ...

VOTE JACKAL

[Julio Riddols]

It seems that color does matter in some peoples eyes. I'm just a tester like the rest of you.. I think. My vote is a vote of retribution. When Julio hands you lemon chiffon, vote for someone else.

VOTE JAG

[Raiders Army]

I almost want to vote for Julio for mentioning lemon chiffon.

[KWhit]

I'll vote for one who hasn't checked in yet:

VOTE CHUBBY

[Darth Vilus]

It is so hard to concentrate on WW and write a paper at the same time lol. I really hate school sometimes

[Julio Riddols]

I think I like Lemon Chiffon. It's whimsical. Light and airy. Sunny.

[Passacaglia]

It's a shame that he's so fine.

[Zinto]

I am voting fir Autumn for being a pain in my side the last game.

Vote Autumn

[PackerFanatic]

[hoopsguy]

Last time getting to see the thread before departing for the day. I see my candidate is one of 5 in a two-way tie. No compelling reasons to move it elsewhere, so I'm going to hope that I blindly stumbled on someone compelling either today or in the coming days.

Good luck the rest of the way, hope that the first vote yields a positive result for us.

[GoldenEagle]

I never played the video game, so I am probably going to be a bit lost on the Portal related stuff. I tried to play a flash version but got bored rather quickly. Anyway, no clue who to vote for on day 1. As we know, these are always a crap-shoot. I guess if someone does not check in, then that will be the person who most likely gets my vote (although the odds of them being a wolf are pretty slim).

[GoldenEagle]

VOTE THE JACKAL

I am making this vote to break the tie and see if we can get some movement going one way or the other.

[The Jackal]

FWIW, I'm vanilla. Although in this situation I'd be fairly excited to see what kind of awesome death sequence Crimson comes up with for me.

[Darth Vilus]

Vote Autumn
Putting this down so I dont forget later

[The Jackal]

I'm working overtime today so I really won't be around much more to comment

Apparently "I must remember to vote for Autumn" is on a lot of people's lists.

[Autumn]

Unlike those who killed me in the Dungeon game, I hate deciding who should leave the game early. However, I find it easy to decide it shouldn't be me. I am vanilla, so I don't mind being in the running, but let's see who else should be in it with me.

Looks like GE, Jackal and me in the lead at the moment. I swore long ago I wouldn't vote GE for no reason after he left a game because of my blunder. So I will

You are doing so well after beginning today with some slightly challenged testers who don't know the difference between an Aperture Science Official Tester and an Aperture Science Official Party Cake and an Aperture Science Official Mary.

The following votes have been tabulated on the Aperture Science Official Radioactive Vote Tabulator and are locked in.

Have a nice day.



Julio Riddols - JAG, Simbo Klice
JAG - Barkeep, Julio_Riddols
Zinto - britrock
Autumn - PackerFanatic, Zinto, Darth_Vilus

Chubby - KWHIT

[CrimsonFox]

We wait in joyful anticipation for the following to complete this test.

Who is voting for you because of the dungeon game, you did nothing but try to help me win by thinning out the competition. My memory goes much farther to a time when we were hunting a holy grail. That is where my pain lies.

[CrimsonFox]

Did you know that if you listen into the ear of a fellow Aperture Science Tester you can hear the ocean?

*>CHIRP<*

[Julio Riddols]

Just need 2 cups and a string..

[CrimsonFox]

It's a shame that he's so fine.

Your request is granted. Here is "My Sweet Lo--" I mean "He's So Fine."

[Passacaglia]

Thanks. I was combining that with a Lemonheads reference (It's A Shame About Ray), but I didn't have the whole song title in that half, so it was a pretty poor reference, I guess.

Anyway,

VOTE GOLDENEAGLE

I want to see what happens with this things being a 3-way race, and with JAG and JR voting each other, GE is the only one who really makes that the case.

I didn't mean anyone was voting me for that game. I meant that nobody showed me any mercy in that game ;-) Still bitter.

[Autumn]

I'm sure someone will have missed it, so let me explicitly point out that it seems we cannot change our votes in this game.

WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR VOTES. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

[tyketime]

Well Autumn, looks like you've made a few more friends since I last played. :lol:

[tyketime]

Anyway, no clue who to vote for on day 1. As we know, these are always a crap-shoot. I guess if someone does not check in, then that will be the person who most likely gets my vote (although the odds of them being a wolf are pretty slim).

This is more often than not my Day 1 strategy as well. But with the twist of not being able to change your vote, it would seem a different strategy is required.

[bhlloy]

Last time I checked in I thought everyone was all about the not voting for people who aren't around D1. You know what with the potential role-reveals and whatnot. Then again with no roles listed I've no idea what sort of role reveal would be accepted in this sort of game anyway.

I'm sure someone will have missed it, so let me explicitly point out that it seems we cannot change our votes in this game.

WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR VOTES. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

Is this the case, or did the people who switched way before CF's post get their switch recorded?

Either way, bad news for trying to flush out wolves. With no vote switching late I don't know how the hell we are supposed to get anything from voting patterns. If this holds for the rest of the game I'm not a big fan. Hopefully more of a one shot or occasional deal

[Autumn]

I don't think "no show" votes are a good idea, though I've certainly been guilty of them in the past. We leave them with no way to defend themselves if they have an important role.

[bhlloy]

No idea why Narcs post got quoted there as well as the one I was replying to. Weird

[Zinto]

I'm sure someone will have missed it, so let me explicitly point out that it seems we cannot change our votes in this game.

WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR VOTES. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.


Oh no! I definitely did not read the rules well enough to see that we could not change our votes.

[bhlloy]

Looks like nobody switched until Jackal and his didn't get recorded. So yeah

[Zinto]

I don't think "no show" votes are a good idea, though I've certainly been guilty of them in the past. We leave them with no way to defend themselves if they have an important role.

Agreed, no reason to vote for someone on day one if they don't show up since it has bit us in the butt before.

[Zinto]

It is going to be interesting to see how the voting plays out because we are going to have a lot of throw away votes today probably, since we can not change our votes.

[GoldenEagle]

I missed the no vote change as well.

[tyketime]

Ugh - this is a bit of a jam. Would love to get some reaction from the three in the "lead". And Zinto - you are right - this will make voting pattern more difficult. I certainly have no info at this point to sway me one way or the other among the three. My other option is toss a vote somewhere else. We could at least figure out the tie-breaker mechanism if it remains that way.

[tyketime]

I suppose I could also vote either JR or JAG and bring a 4th into the mix. Not sure what that would accomplish.

Autumn - you wanted to change your vote to The Jackal. That would have put him in the outright lead. Self-preservation only, or did you have another reason?

[JAG]

I'm sure someone will have missed it, so let me explicitly point out that it seems we cannot change our votes in this game.

WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR VOTES. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

Just wanted to say, I did not recall anything in the rules about this and there is in fact nothing in the rules about this. It's possible this only applies for today or someone used an action to lock in votes, though I'll admit that's far-fetched.

Not saying we shouldn't assume we will be able to change votes in future days, but just getting it out there that we don't know that this will always apply.

[JAG]

It is going to be interesting to see how the voting plays out because we are going to have a lot of throw away votes today probably, since we can not change our votes.

It's going to make D1 analysis more difficult unfortunately.

I kinda agree with this. I can't see how you could run a whole WW game with this kind of rule unless there is a very different mechanic at work for analysis.

I do find it interesting that CF popped up to tell us our votes were locked in right after the first two vote switches. Could be nothing but could also be a hidden mechanic at play

[tyketime]

I will not just throw away my vote. Especially in light of inability to change vote. I will vote for one of the top 3. Hopefully, we get lucky and vote out a wolf day one. If not - it would be painfully easy for the rest of you to shine the light onto me.

[britrock88]

Given that the test consists of voting, I think it's likely that the first cut will be those who do not vote or the last person to cast a vote.

[tyketime]

VOTE THE JACKAL.

As I said, I don't really have a good reason to decide between one of the three. But I want to put my vote out there early enough that the last couple of voters can sway the outcome if any additional info comes to light.

[Julio Riddols]

I like britrock's assessment of things. In any case, adding me to the mix in the case of a vote off.. Well, that would just be rude. How many wolves do you know that like lemon chiffon?

On the other hand, maybe winning the vote would be a good thing. Maybe we're voting for best test subject. I could go for a little cake right about now because my companion cube is quite a curmudgeon.

[tyketime]

2 things I see:

The rules state the winner is the one with the most votes. Let's see if that is a positive or negative outcome.

Secondly, if you do not vote for someone, votes for you will be processed. So there is an extra mechanic in play for non-voters..

[Julio Riddols]

That makes me lean toward a negative outcome for the winner.

[JAG]

Some good points being brought up on this page.

[Ragone]

vote goldeneagle

just keeping things interesting.. got a major crisis at home.. can't stick around to discuss today.. sorry

[CrimsonFox]

The Aperture Science Radioactive Voting Tabulator is completely accurate and can calculate votes to the nearest whole number and is able, on certain days when the clouds are covering in a certain way, to calculate votes even before they are cast.

>*CHIRP*<

[Raiders Army]

Did anyone else find it odd that Autumn was the catalyst for the no-switch? His follow-up post was a little over the top as well. Makes me wonder...

[bhlloy]

I don't know if I'd point the finger at Autumn specifically, but I definitely find it interesting that the first vote switches were the catalyst for CF's first indication that the votes were locked in. I think maybe somebody triggered a game condition, whether it's willingly or unwillingly who knows.

I don't think Autumn is dumb enough to trigger the condition and then be so obviously over the top in drawing our attention to it. That doesn't seem so suspicious to me. At least not in a "he must be a wolf" way.

[bhlloy]

Well, it looks like Chubby and MV are the only things that can keep us from a tie. Who knows what that means.

[Ragone]

i think you all are onto something.. after a certain number or percentage of votes cast... the votes are locked into place.. leaving a select few to sway at the end.. might be something to look for.. wolves voting close to deadline.

[JAG]

At this point I'm operating under the assumption votes will always be locked until we have proof this isn't the case.

[bhlloy]

Also Ragone... knowing all votes are final why the hell would you tie it up there? In classic WW play that's suicide for the village. I hope this is non-classic WW and it doesn't matter, but it looks bad

[Passacaglia]

Wait, who said we can't change our votes? Are we just interpreting that from CF saying that votes are "locked in"?

[Ragone]

I realize that Bhlloy.. i did some research and don't believe this is classic ww as you say.. i know its putting myself out there..

[KWhit]

My guess is that the portal "tests" are different daily rules that affect the gameplay in one way or another and that the day one test is this rule about vote changes.

At least I hope that's what I hope it is, because I was looking forward to playing through a different test each day, because vanilla ww is a little stale to me.

[JAG]

Wait, who said we can't change our votes? Are we just interpreting that from CF saying that votes are "locked in"?

Autumn and Jackal tried to unvote but their votes remained as their original votes.

[KWhit]

Hey GlaDos... I know you like playing things close to the vest, but since you're the all powerful testing master, how about letting us know what we're getting into? Is the vote rule our first test?

I mean, you can't be scared of giving us too much information, right? We're just lowly test subjects. What could it hurt? Unless you're scared of us getting some kind of advantage over you and your cute little tests.....

[Julio Riddols]

Maybe the true test is of our patience.

[GoldenEagle]

This has suppressed the deadine banter as well. I am not putting my faith in Chubby or MV showing up in ten minutes so it will probably end in a tie.

Strange game mechanic.

[CrimsonFox]

Tiebreak rules?

Thank you for your concise and brief interrogative. The tie mechanism is as follows. Those involved in a tie will be processed in the tie-evaluation chamber and be put through a series of tests involving, in no particular order of importance, their age, their weight, the number of hairs on their head, how much cake they have eaten that day, how much cake they can eat, the amount of posts made, and how much everyone hates them.

And the most important factor, beyond any previously listed is...ASFIJIUFAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEMNMEZZZZZZHHZZHHEEEEEEF--*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*

*>CHIRP<*

[Autumn]

Maybe the true test is of our patience.

Isn't that always the case with CrimsonFox?

I think the schtick with this game is we don't know any rules, that they'll be revealed in game. I agree that they'll probably change routinely.

I made a big deal about it, because I noticed, since my vote didn't switch, and I thought it very likely that 50% of the people wouldn't notice and then be all "what? I didn't realize".

In CF's last post, about knowing votes before they happen, did anyone who's tracking votes notice if there was a vote listed that wasn't made in thread??

And to answer someone's question, I just picked jackal because he was one of the vote getters, that's all.

[Julio Riddols]

They really need to fix the intercoms in here.

[CrimsonFox]

The test is complete and two have failed. Congratulations to the rest of you who tested in the 90th percentile of all testers who took this test.

Stand by for radioactive tabulations. Please don the protective radioactive-proof suits which will be arriving to your location in 3...2...2...2...2...2...22...2222.2.22..22.2.22.2.22.2.2.2.222...

Would be kind of amusing if the tie breaker just killed both of them..

Narcizo 1 - The_Jackal
KWHIT 1 - Autumn
Chubby 1 - KWHIT
Zinto 1 - britrock


The winner of the vote is The_Jackal and GoldenEagle. There will now be a special party just for them. A pity party.

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ltjT25GyXTM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Now they know who hates them.

They along with everyone else, especially those who hate them, will please move into the next chamber and await the night maintenance report followed by induced hypersleep.

>*CHIRP*<

[bhlloy]

So... we know that if you don't vote you get 3 votes added to you, and we also know that Ragone is really hoping he didn't just lynch two villagers either way

[Autumn]

CF had us scared. I was sure they were both going to be offed.

Looks like no-shows will nearly kill themselves off, so we don't even need to worry about them.

so a no-lynch day 1. I wonder if that's just the day one rule, or a tiebreaker result, or just that we didn't meet some criteria of CF's?

[Julio Riddols]

So... we know that if you don't vote you get 3 votes added to you

At least this time around.

[Passacaglia]

No votes from Chubby and MV? I think we need to look there -- your feelings on this matter in general aside, we can't have folks who may or may not vote in a game where there's no switching. Or is that just for today? Were the attempts to change votes made on votes that were locked in according to CF's post (I'm assuming that's the only tip-off, his "locked in" statement)?

[The Jackal]

Whoops, definitely missed that we can't change our vote

[The Jackal]

I'm working overtime again tomorrow but I should be able to contribute a bit more

[The Jackal]

Although.. 10 hours of work.. then flyers ..

Do I get a special viewing cube that hovers around my head showing my hockey team play like sh*BLEEP*zzzt?

Wait, so nothing happened? That tells us a bunch lol

Night over. Good night.

Morning is here. I hoped you enjoyed your 2 minutes of sleep. Hello and welcome to the next test.

Test 3 - Unvoting
3924

Unvoting is the art of removing a previously made vote. Some people make a living at it. You all remember how to vote?

Let's use Mary again.

VOTE MARY

You see what I did there? I voted for Mary.
Now let's unvote Mary

UNVOTE MARY

The same principals apply. Use boldface just as you would a vote. Now it is as if you never voted and can now vote for someone else like Chuck or even better the person that--**FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF..**

>CHIRP<

[britrock88]

I've been waiting for a mention of the weighted companion cube! And I wonder why CF introduces it now...

[bhlloy]

I'm not scared of trying this first. Hope I'm doing it right

Unvote GE

[CrimsonFox]

The walls shake with laughter.

You're doing it wrong.

>*CHIRP*<

[bhlloy]

Awww... is that all that happens? And I thought you'd have something fun planned :D

[bhlloy]

Just checking... I still seem to have all the vowels in my vocabulary. Phew.

[britrock88]

Okay, test run...

VOTE CHUBBY

[britrock88]

UNVOTE CHUBBY

[CrimsonFox]

Okay, test run...

VOTE CHUBBY

UNVOTE CHUBBY

Well done. This is a correct usage of the unvoting. It is like putting a bandaid on some hair and then ripping it off. Use these tools wisely (and in unsensitive areas)

39273929

You have until 7 PM PST to vote for another tester using your new tools.

At 3 PM PST there will be a special test for those around.

[Narcizo]

CF had us scared. I was sure they were both going to be offed.


Which would be bad how? A higher vote death rate to night kill rate is positive for the village, shirley? Then again we didn't get a night kill either apparently so it looks like nothing much happened at all yesterday apart from this cubey thingy going missing.

FWIW I was going to switch my vote to Jackal before I went to bed yesterday but my internet connection died mid-submit. Not that it would have made any difference as it turns out.

Unfortunately MV being a no-show doesn't surprise me. I think I've been in a couple of games "with" him and never seen him post.
