The Republican Party Headquarters Thread (No Dems Allowed!!)

[Passacaglia]

Thanks for not announcing it.

Tyrith, I think we should put all the supports on you. As for slurry, I recommend anyone but illinifan. Slurrying KWhit is definitely okay with me -- I think it's time we start thinking about major victory here, and even if KWhit leaves the game, his district goes to Lathum, who would then only have two, and not be so dangerous.

[jeheinz72]

Well since you're not helping me and our support is going to Tyrith anyhow, it doesn't really matter.

I say we slurry Collins or Chubby personally.

I think this is a very bad idea -- if heinz, illinifan, and one of collins or chubby is a wolf, then if the other of collins or Chubby loses their election, wolves win.

It seems like the wolf vote is leaning toward what I *think* is the right play, which is voting for PurdueBrad. But we need to have backup plans, in case heinz was lying. See my posts in the main thread -- if heinz is lying, the cases we need to learn about are heinz, IF, and Chubby, or heinz, IF, and mccollins. KWhit is a much better choice for slurry, IMO.

[jeheinz72]

Fair enough, good point. I'll let you guys pick the slurry since it's taken that I'm biased.

[Tyrith]

I think we can safely go the KWhit route.

[Passacaglia]

Sweet. I'm pumped. Major victory, here we come!

Also, Tyrith, in case the Bills Be Gone bill doesn't get overturned, we should come up with a bill. Maybe something like the IDA, that doesn't really do anything.

[Passacaglia]

By the way, I think it's good for us if the Bills Be Gone bill does NOT go into effect. With a Democrat Speaker, they'll take more of a hit than we will.

[Passacaglia]

How about something stupid like, "If the seer scans a wolf, to help him realize the intensity of the event, his PM shall be delivered to him in ALL CAPS."

[jeheinz72]

I don't know if I could handle the intensity of an ALL CAPS PM.

[Passacaglia]

Well, I really think we should do it -- it will take just a few minutes, and the sooner we do it, the better chance it has of getting passed. Let's not putz around then make me finally decide to ask CR for permission again, please.

[Passacaglia]

Tyrith -- it sounds like the veto on the BBGB is going to be overturned, so let's not bother with our bill.

[Passacaglia]

On the other hand, if the BBGB passes, it probably doesn't matter. So maybe we should post it. Anyway, CR said:

So long as I don’t get the sense the bill was proposed just to qualify as a bill, but with an effort to pass it, I will allow it to not ding the party politically.

When I told him what the bill was, he said it was borderline, but he may allow it. So I dunno.

The Most Popular Politicians Among Party Members

1. Tyrith
2. illinifan999
3. Passacaglia
4. jeheinz72

Here are how the District Polling is shaping up

Tyrith (automatically re-elected as President)
illinifan999 (comfortably ahead in polls)
Passacaglia (ahead in polls)
jeheinz (ahead in polls)

[Passacaglia]

So we need a new Leader -- do they even do anything now?

Also, if you guys want a new Liaison, I'm cool with that.

[Tyrith]

No, we're done doing things in this thread.

This seems like how this game was destined to be -- the three of us being in power having done so much of the talking :P

[jeheinz72]

Yeah, no matter how it goes from here. The 3 of us friggin ROCKED it this game.

[illinifan999]

Thanks for using your action to get me voted out Pass.

[jeheinz72]

Wow, really?

Damn skippy. Did no one read my scenarios? If PB was good, then the only way the wolves could have won was if illinifan was bad. I was hedging my bets. Sorry illini -- but hey, you're still in the game, report to the main thread and muck it up with us!

[jeheinz72]

Yeah, good point. I guess I just saw everything from the blinders of knowing PB was a wolf!

[Tyrith]

Pass, you think we should go ahead and dump our slurries on illini, just in case?

[Tyrith]

Thinking it through, it only helps us in the highly unlikely scenario where Chubby and illini are the last two wolves -- it's some margin, though, because after tomorrow night the only people left in the game would be me, illini, and probably you, Pass.

[jeheinz72]

One of KWhit or I will be around, possibly both.

Frankly, I'm none too worried about illini. My bet is that he's the doctor. I think he posted something along these lines - "So just to be sure, the BG is protecting me and the doctor will protect Heinz" like 5 times yesterday.

Not really -- if illini is a wolf, he's not much of a threat right now, since he can't get re-elected until tomorrow evening.

We should probably slurry mccollins, to avoid him getting all three of Chubby's districts. And support heinz, to help him get at least one.

Yeah, I had him pegged as likely being the doctor, and had protected himself the day before -- so he wanted to make sure the BG protected him, since he couldn't (there was just that small part of me that thought he might have been dropping hints to it to clear himself, hoping no one would catch on and counter-reveal).

[Tyrith]

Okay.

I like this plan.

You just want to be the American overlord and rule everything by yourself, don't you? :P

[jeheinz72]

I was thinking that King had a nice ring to it.

Can't protect myself. I chose everyone I protected a day early. I chose RendeR the night before he died, chesapeake the night before he died, and he was also the second name on my protection list last night but I was protecting heinz.

[jeheinz72]

Can you protect the same person two nights in a row?

[jeheinz72]

Hey I see a Dem in our thread!

A dead Dem, but a Dem!

[illinifan999]

Don't see why not.

[jeheinz72]

Ok cool. You should be protecting either me or KWhit tonight, FYI.

[jeheinz72]

there are pros and cons to both

[illinifan999]

How shitty would it be to tell you that I can't protect anyone because I wasn't re-elected?

[Tyrith]

Just don't tell the wolves that.

[jeheinz72]

That's no kind of good.

[Lathum]

reading this thread has been the best part of this game.

Render certainly didn't hold back his feelings for the game.

And man, the hate for me....

[jeheinz72]

Ha, yeah, I'm very much looking forward to reading the Dem thread. I can't imagine I got much love over there.

No offense, but you didn't exactly help the village.

And I'm with heinz -- can't wait to read your thread.

[Lathum]

you have to have a clue about whats going on to help the village.

I figured out early on I have no idea what's happening so I just stuck to partiy lines.

And did all I could to drive Heinz insane

[jeheinz72]

Yeah you definitely completed that mission (though I have to say, my going bat-shit crazy on Day Two or Three was a bit trumped up by me. Like I've said, I wanted to walk that fine line as a potential lynch target to avoid a night kill as Seer)

To be fair to CR this is a very complex rule set, I really think he handicapped us all way too much though. I just felt cmpletely hogtied the entire game. The game itself is quite entertaining, I think based on reviewing this game that a second running of this with some modified rules and changes in how things can be done will open it up to a lot more possibilities and less frustration.

CR did a good job with this. No matter my bitterness flowing freely

[jeheinz72]

For me, it was just like, why bother with bills if we're going to get so few roles. Other than that though, it was no biggie, I'd have just rather started with the roles and played WW.

I think CR is a bit down that this game didn't get received quite the way he expected.. some things happened a bit like he didn't forsee which caused him to have to change midstream.. I think that upset him a bit as he wanted a really good game to happen. Or maybe he was just down because he lost to my FOFC-BBCF team last night.. I dunno! If it means much though, the last two days of this game have been really entertaining!

[jeheinz72]

I think all in all, it was a good game (I'm assuming here the end is nigh). It was a tricky ruleset he went for though.

[Passacaglia]

Me too. And, it's looking like MAJOR VICTORY for the Republicans!
