I don't know. I'd probably kill Schmidty just to spite.

Just kidding, Schmidty. You're my boy, blue.

Random number generators have no place in this game. I hate them, get no read off of them, and think they are stupid.

Dubb, I knew there was a reason I liked you in this game. Glad to see that I have an ally in hating the random number generator.

Still not looking to vote yet. I don't see any reason in the rules to get in early. And with Day 1 being pretty random I would like to take my time and see what may develop.

[TazFTW]

Taz checking in from the time suck that is Civ IV.

no? explain, please

[kingfc22]

A yak and a goat. Anyone know who here likes goats? That would lead us to a demon if you do.

[Poli]

You know someone other than Coffee Warlord that likes yaks?

Because rolling 2d6 produces a much higher liklihood that numbers in the middle will be rolled than numbers that are very high or very low. For instnace the most common number that will be rolled with 2d6 is 7. There is a 1 in 6 chance that this will be rolled while only a 1 in 36 chance that a 2 or 12 will be rolled.

[hoopsguy]

If 2d6 becomes the random number generator of choice I will request the last slot for all games going forward.

that's not what i said, and not what i did

I rolled 1 die once to determine a group of 6 (1-2 = 1-6, 3-4 = 7-12, and 5-6 = 13-18), then tossed it again to pick one in that group.

I think that should have worked just fine.

[Barkeep49]

Ahh. That does indeed produce a 1 in 18 chance.

[Barkeep49]

Well almost consideirng that whichever group you were in had a slightly better chance of being chosen as you would not vote for yourself.

[Poli]

That went over my head. Maybe it's time for bed.

In that case, I had planned on starting again with the first roll, which I think makes it a 1/17 chance ...

I still don't see anything else to go on.

[Barkeep49]

Well cronin that does seem to produce a 1/17 chance. Thanks for the chance for me to practice some of my long ago studied stats skills.

Didnt you just pwn me as a wolf? Sorry i got lucky, im quite certain ill do quite terrible this go around. Note that I had a nice game when hoops wasnt playing...now that he is im sure ill revert to true Blade form and vehemently accuse of being a bad guy both the seer and the doctor, as well as a few villagers.

But to be ever so kind for pwning me last game(i knew barkeep, you werent on my list)

VOTE WVUFAN

[SnDvls]

wow lots of talk about dice and stuff...

just got back from the ASU/RU Insight Bowl.

I need to reread for the yak & goat stuff again seems I missed it.

bolded by me...did anyone else pick up on this?
my guess is the deamons get the pentagram since it is associated with evil right?

[hoopsguy]

SnDvls, do you have any inkling how the altar vs pentagram would help us in the game? I agree with your premise, just not sure how to apply it in a pro-human manner.

no none really, just happened to stick out to me I guess. Mabey it's just CW's creative writing that got to me. It's quarter to 12 here now I better get to bed gotta work tomorrow.

id be betting its just how coffee differentiates the good(stone alter) from bad(blood laden pentagram)...from that id take our guy did the yak, theirs the goat, and id assume from hes writing ours was more the the elementals liking though thats pure speculation...i think, until our druid comes out and tells us(which i hope he never does as the bad guys will kill him), the meaning of all this remain a secret. Honestly, id just hope the yak was what the elementals wnated and go about day one, as coffee made it clear in the rules even if we did gain favor it would only be known to those involved(druid/warlock i presume). Just hope our guy does a good job picking animals

How can you tell ours was more to the elementals liking? I pretty much got, the same nuetral tone from both.

Merely my guess at his writing, could be off based entirely

[saldana]

i thought i missed something huge when i saw the number of posts since the last time i checked the thread, too bad most of it was about shooting craps. at the risk of being accused later of piling on late, i am going to hold off my random number generator generated vote until a bit more yaking (pun intended) goes on since we have more than a day until the deadline.

[Grammaticus]

Oh, maybe it does, I just thought it was because a Yak is so much larger than a goat. Of course, the Yak makes me think of Apocalypse Now.

[Coffee Warlord]

And we open this morning, and a lonnnnnng voting cycle with the current mess of a count.

1 - Hoopsguy
1 - Blade
1 - Schmidty
1 - St.Cronin
1 - WVUFAN

All hail the yak.

Good catch. I guess I found the rest of it so funny I didn't notice that.

[Poli]

When does the current vote end?

[Coffee Warlord]

Not for another 24 hours. Long ass vote, due to the fact that everyone got their night actions in so early last night.

[Grammaticus]

Well, as far as votes go, I'm gonna just throw one out for one of the really quite people

VOTE DACMAN

Can't really think of a better reason to vote for someone at this point.

[Passacaglia]

Well, we're down to two who haven't shown up yet. Schmidty has a vote on him already, but dacman doesn't.

VOTE DACMAN

[Poli]

Erie.

[Barkeep49]

Well to round out the trio of no shows to this point:

Vote TazTFW

[Passacaglia]

I thought Taz showed up, Barkeep.

[Passacaglia]

Yeah, post 104. Not much, but he's here. Just for the record.

[path12]

As good a pick as any, I guess.

VOTE DACMAN

[saldana]

and the wheels start to roll on the bandwagon....again, with 24 hours to go, i am still going to reserve judgement.

[Barkeep49]

Voting's going to inflate my post count in this game more than normal.

Unvote TazTFW

[Barkeep49]

To vote for someone who ACTUALLY hasn't shown up and to keep things from bandwagoning

Vote Schmidity

[Poli]

Well, that makes me a little uncomfortable. I don't like my first day vote to really count for anything. I don't like having a hand in the first day kill, as it's almost always someone innocent.

[SnDvls]

vote update to help everyone out

1 - Hoopsguy
1 - Blade
2 - Schmidty
1 - St.Cronin
1 - WVUFAN
3 - Dacman

it's still day 1 so I'm holding out that something else comes around in the next few hours.

[Coffee Warlord]

Question. While I'm not going to change the deadline this time around, would you rather I monkey'd with the deadlines if the night actions go through early? Always gonna keep a 24 hour day, but, if like last night night actions get to me at 9pm, do a 24 hour run from there. Or, stick to the current more rigid schedule?

Only reason I'm hesistant to make it a quasi 'roving' schedule is the fact that a "standard" 9am to 9pm night action window seems like it'd be more convenient than a 9pm to 9am run.

Lemme know what ya'll think there.

Yeah, I don't really like that either. Makes you feel like you are making a mistake or other people think you are up to something.

Well, I just saw Dacman reading the thread and he left without a post. So, I'm sure he will speak up at some point. Basically, he is around.

Another postcard of chimpanzees...

Monkey away...if the night actions come in early.

[Poli]

After rereading it (thanks to whoever pointed out the stone altar and the pentagram thing), I think the yak may have been a winner.

I'm all for rolling on early if all the night actions are in.

[Barkeep49]

I wouldn't want a morning deadline earlier than 9 but earlier night deadlines can work for me.

[Blade6119]

UNVOTE WVUFAN

Im leaning to Passacaglia and King...bot are usually quiet and have been thus far...

[Blade6119]

VOTE PASSACAGLIA
