I'm surprised that it hasn't been solved and appropriately addressed yet. Might behoove you to do that ASAP.

I could not find any words that end in "GL" as the last word does, so yeah, more letters might help ...unless you put it through the backwards thingie as well as the text coder? But that has a few unlikely letter combos, too, plus it starts with a period, lol.

.lg~~~ h u~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~u~~~ u~ ~uh ,~l~~uh ~~l~~~~ ~h~~ ~u~~hlcl~ l~h~~lt h lt ~ul~ ~~bt ~l~u~~ h~~hT ~~ f~~~ul~~ l~~ ~lc~~ub f~~b~~~l~~b~ ~~ ~~~h~~hU uh~~ ~l~~~ ~lfh~~ ~~~~~ l~~

I tried solving for the first three words, both on my own & with English Language hangman decoders, and could not find anything, much less anything that made sense. I tried this word "Th~~h" and could only come up with "thigh" (unless it is a name, being capitalized without a preceding period). OR unless it is ciphered AND text coded. If so, I am totally out of this

So yeah, back being Jacks Total Ineptitude at Ciphers.

I posted a screen shot of our poll in Wilmington, and one here. MP did not say not to, and has no objected so

So until he tells me otherwise, I am Jacks obnoxious tendency to push the envelope

Good Luck INH

I am going to go to New Castle, then come back here the day after. Hopefully if enough of us post polls from prior threads in all the threads, we will have a better idea of what is going on.

Well, we have a tie going on so far, maybe we should let fate decide

And every time you said that, I replied that I was hoping to fight a first timer. EVERY time you said that. My question to you was, why did you come here to fight in that case, when really you could have gone anywhere. I honestly think you want to get rid of me.

Why should what you want drive what I want :P

Not that I think it should, but when other people express a similar thought, like BR did, I would think you would listen, maybe. Since this is NOT a LMS thing like Survivor was. We were very much on the same page in Wilmington, and tbh, I expected LC to be here too, so I thought it likely he & I would fight, and you would let us, since both of us were pushing pretty hard for it. Then he did not vote a destination.

Like i said, the thing that gets me is you seeming to want to talk other people out of fighting. That makes it feel like you want it to be me & you. Anyone who wants power so much is someone I am not comfortable having it at this stage, tbh. It seems to me like that is someone TRYING to get recruited to Project Mayhem. That is why I distrusted Llama and wanted out of Wilmington.

I sincerely hope we have a few more self voters in here, lol. Or I am toast, I guess.

OK. I am still a bit confused, it almost feels like you want to be rid of me. I said repeatedly in Wilmington that I wanted to fight today, that I was coming here to fight, that i wanted to fight first timers. You knew all this, I know you read my posts, you agreed with and quoted them. You could have gone anywhere, but you came here knowing i was throwing my hat into the ring.

Good luck, then, it seems that none of the others may even vote, except probably BR.

But I want to fight and not get killed. My best chance is to fight someone other than you or BR.

BR said she does not want to fight since she fought yesterday.

ebwop, like if I get to fight today, and i win, i will not try to fight tomorrow, let some noobs take a shot at it.

Well, so do other people, but they are afraid to get killed since you are at a higher level. I guess I am just thinking of it as that at this point, the vast majority of us are probably still civvies, and keeping us on an even keel rather than killing us this early seems like a better idea. i am kind of wary of people who are about personal power.

I like working together if possible rather than playing each man for himself, I guess.

Also, why did you address that only to INH, and not Lea or Nevin?

Do you think it's a bad idea to let some more of the first timers throw their hat in the ring before people who have already fought keep fighting and building potential strength? I have brought that up several times, and you have never really addressed it.

Well, I would be willing to fight DH, but would kind of rather NOT fight someone who has already fought, as he has, so if a third party could self vote , maybe INH, Lea or Nevin, I would be grateful

Sorry guys, My 5 months pregnant sister is moving today to another state (she is already on the road) so the fam has been pitching in all month to get her & her family underway, and yesterday was the last minute stuff/cry a thon/beer & BBQ day. Here and ready.

I think we all should get a chance to fight if we want to, and I still would rather let all the non fighters who wish to fight, fight. It's a risk, as DPs death has shown us, but also a chance to gain power.

I am going to self vote. I had planned to campaign a bit, but the poll being late, and my family kinda got in the way of that, so maybe BR has a point. Those who want to fight can self vote, and those who don't can decide.

*Votes SVS* (so weird typing that, lol)

I am pretty sure everyone voted EXCEPT LC, who was also there.

Bullz & Sorsha fought.

This was their night one poll, showing who was there originally and where they went.

NIGHT 1



What will you do?

Sup Deleware City. Vote DharmaHelper to fight, cause he's mad cool yo.

I was hoping to let some first time fighters fight and gain some experience. And I thought LC said he was coming here, but i just checked my Wilmington poll, and he did not vote at all.

RIP DP IYWG

Wow, only 3 & an injured Aces were here?

I plan on voting for myself to fight, and I hope to fight another first time fighter.

Not sure where that came from...

Well, I was kind of thinking that I would go to the big city, then come back here if that is an option the next night. So having a "Stay at Home" is a good idea.

While I agree with Nevin & Booms thought that we should not think of ourselves as a team, per se, or a BTS group, it is good to have a baseline group, and I will always be a Delaware City girl at heart <3

Hopefully we all make a decision in time, although if someone misses the vote, I guess they will just stay here? If we all DO move around every night, that will be a ton of work for the host changing/checking all of those permissions. So perhaps this will not be an every night thing?

Sure, I will go to Wilmington,

AceofSpaces wrote:Well this works out just fine for me actually. I said I wanted to fight, and I do. So good luck to BTW. May the best man win.

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.

I am considering moving, BUT worry that they will throw me under the bus, as the noob. Personally, i don't think i would do that if someone came here, though. So maybe paranoia?

I had not considered all making the same decision, that would be interesting. DP already voted to stay, though. But ALL of the rest of us picking up and going to a different city might be interesting. I would be willing to do that if everyone else wanted to do that, even if it meant Jersey.

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

Huh. Thats interesting. I wonder if we had the option to vote two, but no one noticed? Did Aces self vote and not post? Or did he miss the vote? Did anyone else miss it? If he did not vote, maybe he got put in there for not voting?

I am leaning towards Wilmington. It's bigger than New Castle, and i hate New Jersey.

We are not in Fight Club though, plus it is the day. I think that is what the poll is for, we are sending people to fight club to fight during the night. Who knows, I am sure we will find out

I am going to vote for BWT, I have to go to work, and won't be home until the poll is over. He volunteered, and until we know better the mechanics of how the polls work, it's all speculation.

Also you have my sympathy, chatty people playing from phone is HARD.

Also I had forgotten, if there even IS a winner~ choosing someone to go fight implies there will be (and with 4 threads, perhaps 2 matches and 2 winners), but again, it is speculation until we actually choose someone and what ever happens happens, AND if the host even tells us what happens in the case the person we choose does not return.

Isn't there only one non-civ though so far? I thought the police were civ aligned at least. Unless Durden is already recruiting, which is possible.

We really have no idea what is happening, and everything is speculation. Maybe the winner is recruited to Project Mayhem, I have thought of that as well. If so, and I am assuming we have a cop in here, the winner can be searched.

There are a lot of "ifs".

If he wants to do it, I think we should let him. If strength/involvement is important, we have a better chance of individual survival if we put strong people in there.

If it does not work to the advantage of Delaware City, next day we can make a different choice.

A+ for smiley/font size usage

BR, this is new to me. The closest thing i can think of is Recruitment, actually, where most of us start out in a pool with only a few roles. Although this also does have that element of LOST:Revolution, with hidden threads.

If someone wants to volunteer, as BWT is saying, if it is a challenge from strength that may work for us. My guess is a lot of low posters are going to be the chosen fighters Day One. So sending an active player is a risk, but it is also more likely to pay off if it is a potential reward challenge. On the one hand, I would rather not risk someone until we know how the challenge works, but I also think that is how most people will think, so the Day One competition will be weak~ so I talked myself into a corner.

Also, assuming we are voting to make someone fight (and we have no clue what that entails) do we want to send someone who might win whatever it is, or do we want to send a low poster the first time, to see what it entails? Or other?

As I understand it, Tyler Durden is the only baddie at this time, right? He somehow, through an unknown mechanism, recruits to project mayhem; he may have already started, or maybe not.

So I guess my question is, for Day One, do we try to actually lynch a baddie, or do we have another strategy?

He originally said he wanted 40, if i recall correctly, so yeah, this makes total sense. Four threads of ten was the original set up. If this is how the whole game goes, it will be interesting. I am sure there will be a merge at some time, and that idea about fighting people from other threads makes a ton of sense too.

I would imagine that the police are scattered between threads, so they know everything.
