I can't believe there are enough people who randomly pick up the new Lobo comic to make up for all the fans who won't be buying the Lobo comic.   Same deal with Transformers & Ninja Turtle movies, but I guess those somehow makes money to make like 50 of them.

The thing about special effects movies with lots of action but inane, easy-to-follow dialogue: they sell in non-English speaking countries really well (dub or very simple subtitles). Check out how much money Transformers made in China.

Would explain the reason the characters all decided to piss off to Hong Kong - other than the Chinese product placement, anyway.

That was part of the reason I was so frazzled D1. I had no reason to do anything - my wincon meant I just had to ride things out - but I wanted to see the streak of town wins continue, though not to the point of ruining things for the Evil role by playing as though I had a town wincon.

Why the rest of the town just seemed happy to let things go without doing anything was beyond me. TBF livened things up when he came in, but nobody put pressure on Starver, or me really. This despite the unchallenged claim of an investigative role having a reasonable (if ill thought out) reason for voting me.

So... New update, and a bit of an event going on.

If you don't already have a second FOB, they've reduced the price to purchase one (with MB coins) by 50%, which is pretty cool. This week also seems to have a bit of a bonus in terms of MB coin availability for daily rewards, I think there's 200-300 available total over the week ('til Sunday)

It's the lyrics to Limp Bizkit's song Rollin' but spoken in a middle class British manner. Now as to why this exists, I have no clue.

'Tis Received Pronunciation, the most false of all accents.

'Tis silliness. Posting it is encouraging someone to read, irrespective of when you post it.

It did just make you look more scummy by posting conditions and then getting pissy when someone ignores then :P

So why post it if you don't want us to read it? :P

There's no point in putting conditions on it. If it's information you want to avoid you getting lynched, why tell us to wait to read it?

I don't see why :P you said you out it there, and it's information that will be used at some point. Why wait to get something from it? Why hide it at all if you're claiming?

This is why I haven't night the new Hitman game (episodic nature, rather than number dropping)

If I pay $60 for the game, I want the whole game now. Not a little bit now, another piece next month, and the rest of it later.

Pfft. Exercise is basically microscopically tearing your muscles to bits so they heal and you get stronger.

Rather silly if you ask me. That's why I prefer sitting down.

That was what I wanted to say earlier: no lynches.

We need to lynch folk, basically. There is a 100% chance of scum maintaining existence if we don't get a lynch in. The information from the flip is super useful, and it narrows down the suspects too. No lynching played into my hands as the neutral role, given any D1 lynch has a 1/5 chance of hitting scum, and the odds get better from then on.

No lynching definitely allowed Starver an opportunity to blend in with the extra bodies too; as I said, nobody pressured him because Moonlit and Fallacy drew attention to themselves. Fallacy was a bit too overt with his role claim, which allowed Starver to murder all you sillies :P it will stand as my example forevermore as the reason I don't like claiming!

I think part of the problem is that you guys are afraid of making mistakes as town, specifically with mislynching. There's a need to be aggressive in a game like this, and like I said earlier the flip you get from a lynch is chock full of information: you know there's a role type (likely) out of the game, it narrows down the suspect list, and you can then review the previous day knowing the intentions of the player that died, as well as the cases of those voting against them.



For the record, I didn't believe FoU's claim (again); all I cared about was being able to force a no lynch on D2 so I could get my VP :P

This is why we need more activity, guys... Nobody put pressure on Starver that game. There was something else but I forgot what it was...

Tomasque: just in case you made an error, was Starver s'posed to get 2 victory points for that?

Well... Fallacy is having a bit of a poor run heh. This is the reason I don't like claiming :P

Starver lurked to victory, though. Bothersome. Well done anyway, dude. 2 points well earned!
