Yep. I had made the same assumption as you, since I had responded to a comment cronin made earlier.

I think ntndeacon has died early in other games I've played as well. Altogether not a bad night though. Very interested in what happened with Sylar though. What do people make of the lack of a Sylar-related kill?
1) Sylar missed his orders
2) he was blocked
3) he only has a limited number of kills and wants to conserve them or he can only kill on certain days
4) he's playing games with us.

To be honest I don't think we're missing out on a huge amount of info that we might have gained by a standard day one villager vs villager vote off. Shame the no lynch was such a run away vote though.

[Lathum]

did anyone miss the vote?

One thought I had was that perhaps he is an every other day thing.. where he has to spend one day tracking down someone, or learning about someone.. or something.. then the next day he can attempt a kill.

Thoughts on no Sylar kill:
1.) good! Hopefully that gives him fewer powers - I think we want to get rid of him early in the game
2.) potentially someone impacted him, although at least half of the people around have replied since results were posted
3.) reasonable chance he can only kill every other night or has a certain number of kills per game
4.) last thing I can think of is that he could scout people to learn their powers before choosing to kill them? In the show he had a list of names, but often didn't know their power when he went after them. Maybe Heinz put this into play a little differently for purposes of game balance


So, up to this point I haven't seen a bunch of information learned on Day 1 that validates the idea of No Lynch. Not really meant to be an "I told you so" but an observation that may influence my decisions on this type of call for future games.

[Passacaglia]

Could it be that Sylar just steals powers, but doesn't kill people?

[Passacaglia]

Or maybe the company tried to kill Sylar, and were basically denied a kill?

Then who killed ntndeacon with the bullet? Or do you think Sylar kills with guns too?


My initial thought is Bullet = HRG

Is there something in the show that would make me think he can't kill with guns, or something?

[Passacaglia]

Also does HRG = Hana Gitelman?

I would consider that unlikely.

[st.cronin]

I agree -- the rules say he's concerned with killing, so that seems to be a less likely option.

not only that but it just doesn't align with the show at all.

I think it very very likely he hunts someone then kills them.

Well it could be different for game purposes, but in the show he killed all of his prey the same way. Long story short.. but Sylar was a clock maker who's power was being able to see how "things" worked. He was able to carry that on to being able to understand how heroes worked as well and "learn" their powers. In the show to do so, he had to cut open the hero's head to learn about them, but in the process of killing them.

That is why to me bullet = not sylar

Sorry, in this game HRG = Noah Bennet..

As far as I know he has no powers or super powers in the show, but he is a former company member who became rogue so to speak and does his dirty work through either heros that assist him in his cause, or with a good ole fashioned gun.

Ironically enough in the show, HRG's sidekick was the Haitan

[Alan T]

Dola,

he is called HRG often because for a long time before you knew his name he was known as "Horned Rimmed Glasses guy" or something along those lines.

[jeheinz72]

Folks, a heads up.

Passacaglia has had to resign from the game due to his being done for Monday and Tuesday. He's been gracious enough to recruit his own alternate.

Thomkal will now be taking over his spot. Same everything, and any vote cast for or by Pass was essentially done by Thomkal.

Carry on.

[claphamsa]

vote thomkal



welcome

[claphamsa]

training is done for the day! doesnt look like i missed much.

[st.cronin]

Welcome aboard, Thomkal. Congrats on making it to day 2, Pass!

[hoopsguy]

Welcome, Thomkal. So, what info was Passacaglia not sharing with the rest of us? Spill it!

[RendeR]

Welcome back Thomkal.

[Passacaglia]

My bad, guys. I'm going to a wedding this weekend in Boston, and will be there until Tuesday. Plus, who knows how long the flight will take..

I so wanted to make that punchline.

I can misremember it if you want

[Thomkal]

Yes its me Super-Alternate Man! I swear I should never read these threads because someone always sees me reading them and gets me sucked back into Werewolf.

Seriously though I'm happy to step in for Pass. Just give me some time to catch up on things as I was only a casual reader till now. And hey this means I survived past day one too which is somewhat of a rarity for me in these games.

Just some info on me and what little I've read so far. If it contradicts from something Pass said, its because of different people playing nothing more. I am a hero, I'm a fan of the TV show so I may be able to help out with info about various characters/events. I would have voted no lynch on day 1 simply because I hate it when I am the day 1 "outee" especially in a game who's theme I looked forward to exploring.

Oh and Clap, thanks for that wonderful welcome. :P

[st.cronin]

Seems like we're stuck with nowhere to go, so:

VOTE ARDENT ENTHUSIAST

Sticking with my original day 1 vote, no reason to think it was a bad vote.

[ntndeacon]

vote Thomkal

welcome to the game.

woooooooooo
rattles chains

[Alan T]

I'm going to place a vote before I head out for the day. I'll likely be on at some point later on tonight for a little bit just to check in and will be on in the morning. I'll reserve the right to change my vote later if I feel the reason to.

I'm going to vote for Claphasma simply because his behavior so far this game hasn't been very constructive at all I feel. Yesterday people had a few different directions they could choose.. Vote No lynch and see what info if any came out of today.. or vote for someone and push the envelope a bit, perhaps force someone to make a move either good or bad one way..

Clap didn't do either of those things, instead he voted asap in the morning on someone before they checked in and didn't move it off.. No big deal as its day 1, and we don't know much day 1.. Today though he jumps right in and votes the only guy who hasn't even had any time to really catch up in voting for Thomkal.

I'll vote for Clap for now as really his and Greyroofoo's run on Render instantly to start the day was the only overly odd actions I'm aware of so far from yesterday.

[Alan T]

Vote Claphasma

[Thomkal]

oh great even the ghosts are voting for me now.

[Thomkal]

I knew somebody who vote for Clap because he voted for me even though we all know it was a joke. Didn't think it would be this quick though.

[Thomkal]

woops, who=would above

I wasn't aware that you two even knew each other. I thought Clap was a newer player and you hadn't played in quite a while!

Wheels within wheels, man.

The bullet to the head makes me think otherwise. Sylar just scalps heroes as I recall.

[Greyroofoo]

I personally think he failed a dice roll or something

Shurg.

It's still early, I'm waiting to see if we learn anything today.

[Mr. Wednesday]

FWIW, I have no info about the night. I don't think we can no lynch forever, so I'm in favor of taking a shot at Sylar and/or the Company today.

You and Thomkal are confusing me then...


I'm out of here for a bit. 5pm!

[st.cronin]

I'm a little disappointed that Pass never explained what set his hairs on edge about Alan, as that seemed like a potentially fruitful discussion.

I'd also like to revisit the revealing-names idea. I know a lot of people think that their power is related to their name, but I wonder if the question gets phrased another way if they feel the same way: Would I be able to GUESS your ability if I knew your character's name?

I think we may be able to put some pressure on Sylar if we do this. The downside is that it may be possible for Sylar/The Company to identify powerful Heroes, but I'm not sure I understand how likely/possible that is.

[SnDvls]

I would have no problem giving my "character name" FYI as it would not give away anything to what I can or cannot do.

[nfg22]

Cronin, That is a stupid idea. I dont know the show but im sure we can closely guess. Also, Sylar can just act as another character and how do we even know i he lies about the power when it comes up?

I am with you on pass tho, and it is suspicious that he keeps claiming to have evidence and then never posts it, even after saying at least twice he would do so.

[st.cronin]

I assure you, nfg, nobody would be able to guess my ability if I revealed my character's name.

[nfg22]

Prove it....

[st.cronin]

Heh, the only way to do that would be to reveal my character's name. Which you just said would be stupid.
