The Syndicate

I certainly don't want to be committed in my future actions when I know so little.

I will plan to come back next chance I get though, for now.
I'm going to Wilmington for now, for no reason at all.

That's fine, and to each his own. Like I said though, I'm thinking the best plan of action for all of us is to move around and try to interact with as many of the other players as possible. But if you don't want to commit to a plan in case we get new information or something changes, I don't blame you for being more cautious.

Having slept on it (and had more time to think about it today), I almost think it might be better if we wait an extra day/night cycle or two before we come back here. Mostly because as others mentioned, it might be good to jump around most or all of the other threads to get a good idea of everything that's going on. And sometimes, staying in one spot is also a good thing to brief new people who happen to show up.

But for the most part, I think moving around a lot is what is going to be most beneficial for the civilian faction.

I'm not too worried. We still have another 19 hours for everyone to come in and vote. That's plenty of time, so you don't need to be concerned.

Ture. But that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who fights and loses dies. At least, we don't know if that's the case yet.

I hope the locations don't change. I might just be super-paranoid about it, and I could see Sockhost doing that just to mess with us. Of course, if he does that enough, he might become Sockhost-on-Fire so probably not.

Good idea. That way if one of us does die, than the other one has one spot covered for that location. You still interested in joining us, SVS?

I'm confident and willing to fight because I think I stand a good chance of kicking your butt. So there.

Yeah, not really a whole lot for us to dissect after just one day of "yeah, let's pick BWT because he volunteered". Unfortunately, I think me declaring to do that so early stifled almost all discussion later on.

Yeah, if we all split up in groups of 2, then we can cover each of the other threads. My only issue is what if some of the location options change for Night 2? Then we might not be able to all meet up at the same place later on. And how do you know for sure that one of us is going to die if we lose? I wasn't told anything about the loser being out of the game necessarily.

Alright, I'm fine with moving to another location. I think I'd prefer Wilmington, simply because it's a larger city and, maybe by that logic, there are more people there.

I would actually be more in favor of the majority of us moving around. I'd rather get a better idea of some of the other players we haven't encountered yet. Although that leads to deciding whether we all agree to pick to come back here (assuming that is an option for Night 2) to share any information we learn.

I dunno. The more I think about it, I almost wonder if it WOULD be better for the majority of us to remain here. And instead, let others come to us. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it, and people are going to end up picking their personal preference anyway.

A couple of thoughts I've had regarding the game so far:

I think the sock picked me to fight BTW because he's lazy and just went by alphabetical order. If my name were Zaces, I'd be fine. Like S~V~S pointed out, I didn't miss the vote, and I posted during day 1. So this is the only option that makes sense to me. MovingPictures is a terrible "a"cist.

I'm interested in the night poll. Especially if it means shifting threads. Do we all move together, or do we split up? I can think of pro's and cons for both courses of action, and would like to hear everyone's thoughts.

Thanks, same to you! But I'm definitely the better man here.

I don't think he'd pick you because he's being lazy. I think he was more likely to pick someone else at random. But that's just me. Also, it's CIS-scum, not "a"cist. Whatever that is.

I think there are pros and cons for moving and staying around too. I'm leaning more towards moving elsewhere though. I think not as many people are going to be moving around tonight as they will in the future. So that makes it more likely that we're going to encounter more new people.

S~V~S wrote:OK, found the poll thread (OMG MP, this must be tons of work) and Aces took no votes, and no one missed the vote.

I guess he had to pick someone at random, given everyone ended up voting for me. So I guess the top 2 vote-getters end up getting picked to fight each other. Interesting...

Actually, now that I think about it, I think that's not the case. I bet that depending on which location we pick, that that's the location/thread we are in during Day/Night 2. Us getting to move around and interact with the other players that way strikes me as far more logical.

I'm all for moving to a new location. Especially one that's a bit bigger, and possibly more populous. So I might consider going with Wilmington, like SVS suggested.

I'm going to go ahead and self-vote. Normally, we have a Day 0 where we at least get surface info. But since we don't have that this game, I think the only way we can learn anything is to just jump in and go for it. And I'm willing to be the guinea pig here, so I say we go for it. And hopefully we learn something that we can use as a launching point for further discussions.

If I wasn't a straight civ, I would probably prefer to sit back and try to let someone else get "volunteered" to fight. I have no powers, no special abilities, and only have to survive to the end of the game to win. So because I wouldn't be a major loss if I died, I'm more than willing to be the "experiment child" so to speak, and throw my hat into the ring.

Best thing that happens for me is I live and you all glean some information about what happens. Worst thing that happens is that I die, you glean some information about what happens, and all you're down is one civilian.

I wouldn't be afraid of it. It's not like Sockface is going to use this as an excuse to kill off 4 of us at the beginning, right? :P

Right?

Right?

Right???

I think that's the thing. I'm more than open to talking and discussing it, but I don't think we're going to get a lot of information on how this works unless we ask the host nicely (just kidding, he won't tell us a damn thing :P). I'm just curious to see what this entails, so I am more than willing to volunteer myself to take the first plunge and see what happens.

Also, if we have a hard time with deciding who to send, I would be more than willing to volunteer. I have no idea for sure what happens, but I'm feeling particularly risky this game.

Yeah, I don't think this is your standard lynch poll. My guess is that in each thread, we're selecting a person to send into a big free-for-all with the other 3 people who are chosen from the other thread. And then, I would assume, the winners get prizes and/or good things, and the losers get punishments/bad things/death.

I'd been thinking of theories that could explain why we only have that many people. And that makes perfect sense.

So by looking at the number of 38 signups, that means we have 4 threads. 2 threads of 9 people, and 2 of 10.

It also explains why last night, Sockface told me he was really hoping one more person would sign up when we had 35 at the time. That's something to chew on too.

I think so. So what part of Fight Club do you like the most? The fights or the club?

I'm just here for the drinks.

I hope you like the taste of human blood and crushed teeth then!

And anarchy.
