BK dukes Pass, and forever earns our trust?

Shout me down, whatever. I know I just said that we need to focus on the uncleards, and I'm not advocating a lynch for BK. I'm just thinking out loud, and wanting feedback.

If that's the case then I'll never play in one of Abe's games again (If BK started as a wolf and the duke). That's insane, and no, I don't think Abe would do that to us.

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 01:51 PM

Sam Montgomery, pro-union, had ran for the Republican party nomination. Due to the massive corruption of the political machine in the state of WV, it is impossible to know whether or not the victor, Republican Ephraim Morgan actually won, or if Montgomery had pulled it out. Company guards stood at polling places and there were claims of ballot boxes not even sent in.

Yeah, if that's the case, you might as well just toss the L on the board and move on to the next game. I don't see anyway Abe put that in.

Glengoyne · 05-08-2009, 02:03 PM

Damn. Lunch plans changed. Still here.

RendeR · 05-08-2009, 02:05 PM

I am SO confused.

Like I said I'm feeling misguided, so I'm questioning my assumptions. All of them.

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:09 PM

I think if we win this game it's going to be by converting camps, though with as fast as people are dying that may be tough.

claphamsa · 05-08-2009, 02:10 PM

as fast as people are dying? there have been 2 deaths this month....

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:11 PM

lol, you're right.

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 02:14 PM

Your attention please:

There were three triggers for the Game Ending event. As of today, all three have occured.

Tomorrow, Day Ten, we will begin the final event and the game will change to a strategy game from a WW game. All of your decisions, who is alive, and the camps converted will impact your starting positions.

After Night Nine, you will be given the rules to the game changing event. On Monday Morning, we will begin the event, and sometime that day, or the following day at the latest, the game will end with a victor.

You are about to compete in the largest civil uprising in American history, and the largest of any kind since the Civil War. By the border between Boone and Logan county, you will fight and die on the slopes of Blair Mountain.

claphamsa · 05-08-2009, 02:14 PM

claphamsa · 05-08-2009, 02:15 PM

now im even more conffuzzled!

maybe this is to offset the fact that I have no idea whats going on

claphamsa · 05-08-2009, 02:15 PM

ABE can you tell us what the events were?

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:16 PM

Well that's interesting. So the sympathizers don't win and the laborers don't win.

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 02:17 PM

Trigger #1 - The successful recruitment of Mother Jones
Trigger #2 - The successful recruitment of Sid Hatfield
Trigger #3 - When given the "On the Steps of the Courthouse" Event, the Sympathizers chose to kill Sid over the other options.

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 02:17 PM

One side will win the Battle and thereby win the game.

RendeR · 05-08-2009, 02:18 PM

The train, the assassination of the sheriff...what was the other one?

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:18 PM

Looks like the sympathizers may have helped us out then.

RendeR · 05-08-2009, 02:18 PM

Oh ignore my post, I'm wrong =)

We've all been wrong about pretty much everything this game, so it's all good.

claphamsa · 05-08-2009, 02:21 PM

i havent been wrong, ive been to confused to guess

jeheinz72 · 05-08-2009, 02:22 PM

Abe, will the time commitment for Monday be any different than normal?

Yes. You will get the rules on Sunday night/Monday morning at 1 am when the Night 9 is over. The Battle of Blair Mountain will begin in the morning around 9 or 10 or so. However, your availability is not necessarily requires for each of the day deadlines. You will see.

jeheinz72 · 05-08-2009, 02:30 PM

Oh ok cool. Because I'll likely be hungover the few hours I'm actually at work.

I would be very surprised is the duke began as a wolf, but while I think it unlikely the BG or seer could be converted I think it is possible the duke could be.

there is no way I will be up a 6 or 7 AM.

any reason why we can't get the rules sooner, like now, so we have time to discuss over the weekend and the rest of the day?

PurdueBrad · 05-08-2009, 02:42 PM

Not really sure what to expect because Abe's games are always really complex so this should be interesting.

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:52 PM

I'm with Jeheinz, I'm mostly on vacation for the next two weeks and would like rules in advance, so I don't need to wake up early on Monday.

Danny · 05-08-2009, 02:52 PM

Err, I'm with Lathum

jeheinz72 · 05-08-2009, 03:02 PM

Which is like being with me, since apparently Lathum and I agree all the time.

damn

Barkeep49 · 05-08-2009, 03:15 PM

Well since we haven't known what the hell is going on, why change things now?

Glengoyne · 05-08-2009, 03:26 PM

So let me get this straight.

There really is no chance I can lynch Barkeep?

Danny · 05-08-2009, 04:19 PM

Why would you think that? I am not at all convinced it is too late.

Danny · 05-08-2009, 04:42 PM

Maybe not then, I guess the game doesn't change until after today.

No, otherwise they might impact Day 9 and Night 9 decisions.

Danny · 05-08-2009, 04:56 PM

What about running the night deadline early once the orders are in?

Perhaps that would be feasible.

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 05:06 PM

One of the first things Gov. Morgan had to do was observe over a shootout between labor and company gun-thugs in the town of Willis Branch, which was almost completely shot up. He decided to firmly ally himself with the company and come down on labor for these issues.

The Bastard!

Abe Sargent · 05-08-2009, 06:04 PM

With the full weight of the government against them, laws began to be passed to attack striking miners. One bill allowed juries to be pulled from other counties thus allowing a jury from an anti union county to be assembled. Another law was the doubling of the size of the state police force, and yet another allowed the deputization of any persons deemed necessary in these times of conflict. Many people were handed guns, paid some money, deputized, and told to keep the strikers in line.
