No need to be an ass about it, they could just be explaining their logic.

WoeGuy · 11-02-2009, 7:47 PM

or maybe they're just posting so ben doesnt kick them out

Or you know trying to be overtly innocent if evilbannan turns out to be a citzen.

Antisaint · 11-02-2009, 10:56 PM

I'm pretty sure we're all expecting him to be a civ.

Tweek · 11-02-2009, 11:11 PM

I'm not, or I wouldn't vote for him. But I won't be surprised if he turns out to be a civ.

BKS · 11-02-2009, 11:20 PM

The main reason I'm not voting for him is because I think he's a civ. Dumb or not, thats still one more that we need to keep alive.

Knight of Cydonia · 11-03-2009, 12:15 AM

Not voting. Doesn't seem enough evidence to me. Posting not to get kicked out

Inseln · 11-03-2009, 4:06 AM

I'm staying true to my vote of evilbanaan, he tried to blackmail a director, then revealed him to us all. Even if he isn't a rebel, then he's a stupid civ who's got no idea.

For the love of god! If you figure out a clue pointing to a good guy or a civ, keep it to your fucking self so that the rebels don't get their hands on it!

However, if you find one pointing to a rebel, shout it out. Ands don't try and blackmail them either, they could always just pretend to ignore you while posting on their secret forum "HAI GUYS SOANDSO WORKED OUT I'MA REBEL LET'S KILL HIM!"

More or less, the same thing will happen if you try and blackmail a goodguy, because they'll have to assume you're a bad guy because they can't afford to take any chances.

Alcoholic · 11-03-2009, 12:32 PM

Yeah, stickin' with evilbanaans. He's doing more harm than good to who (I am still interpreting to be) the good guys.

Spastic · 11-03-2009, 12:53 PM

I don't think there is a clear cut "good guy" in this, and you're all harming yourselves by saying you are on the directors side or rebel's side.

The way I interpreted this is that us civs pick a side, either rebel or director, don't let everyone know what that side is (which a lot of you are doing, by clearly just stating that you are sided with rebels or directors) and vote according to that.

Don't think I made that clear to everybody.

Uh, yeah. Not sure if this clears anything up for anybody.

Still not voting, I don't think it'd matter if I did.

If we're to take previous games as precedents, the directors are the good guys. The military had the ability to reveal, then the detectives, and now the directors, unless I'm mixing something up.

Spastic · 11-03-2009, 2:44 PM

This is a completely new game, and I think the reasoning behind the game was to let us choose sides so being a civ wasn't so damn boring. Hence the "evil" good guys, and the "good" bad guys. Neither side is clear cut, and I'm not saying that either side is good or bad, but I am pretty sure that's how this game is supposed to be going.

I could have missed the point completely of course.

Cyan · 11-03-2009, 3:04 PM

I'm personally siding with the civs.

Both sides have always had the ability to reveal.

Also I'm siding with the directors.

Ah, I was under the impression otherwise. If this is the case, I'm not sure who I'm siding with just yet. I thought it'd be the directors based on all that, but I guess I'd better wait for an update or two.

Dodger · 11-03-2009, 7:40 PM

Update will be tomorrow (supposed to be today, but I have to study).
So get your votes in if you still need to.

Benjaman · 11-03-2009, 7:50 PM

Well, it's safe to say that StrongBad is an idiot. Not only did he guess completely wrong, his missguess gets him kicked from the game.

Have fun.

Spastic · 11-03-2009, 7:53 PM

Oh, that silly Jimmith Jammith.

Benjaman · 11-03-2009, 8:00 PM

Oh cool. Two birds with one stone.

Antisaint · 11-03-2009, 9:51 PM

Which means Chris guy is in. List on the first page updated.

BKS · 11-03-2009, 10:16 PM

Wait, what'd he do?

Dodger · 11-03-2009, 10:19 PM

Actually Tempest is the next back up, will ask him if he's still interested.
And he was jimmith jammith's alt.

Frobes · 11-03-2009, 10:36 PM

He said some names and said they were rebels. Also being an alt.

How the fuck would he know who rebels are?

IronWire · 11-03-2009, 11:43 PM

Maybe he was a rebel? Before meeting his horrendous end.

Spastic · 11-04-2009, 12:50 AM

Highly doubt it, given what Ben already said, plus he's JimJam.

Benjaman · 11-04-2009, 5:27 AM

Those names are incorrect, Jimmith is just a shitty poster that tried to ruin the game. His mistake was not actually waiting to confirm his names until he posted them.

Ah well, no harm done but he's gone now so move on.

Zebbs · 11-04-2009, 5:34 AM

Are you going to auto-kill off anyone who doesnt contribute/post this time?

Pencil · 11-04-2009, 8:30 AM

I'm witholding my vote this round.

paraskeet · 11-04-2009, 3:17 PM

Withholding my vote as well. But if he dies, he dies.

Yes, I'll be a bit stricter than last time but not too strict about it still. A lot of people like to hang back and kind of play the game mostly by themselves or with their team, and don't post much in the thread. However, if they don't respond to PMs or never ever vote, then yeah I'll get rid of them.

Tempest · 11-04-2009, 7:13 PM

Well, I'm gonna be in this now, but I think I'm going to wait for the next round to begin. Seems easier that way.

JohnDoe · 11-04-2009, 8:04 PM

No offense Tempest, but shouldn't that Chris guy be in first?

Dodger · 11-04-2009, 8:27 PM

Tempest signed up for back up before that Chris guy.

BELATED UPDATE #1

Quote:

A cloaked figure walked briskly on Spame Ave of New Explosm City. Barely containing her urge to sprint, for she knew that (even in the shithole of Spame District) StickCo had eyes, she inconspicuously made her way down a long forgotten alley. Once in the dark, she sprinted to a door, rusted over and practically invisible if you didn't know it was already there. She quickly glanced around her, ensuring that no one had followed her or seen where she had gone, and lifted an enormous ancient padlock that secured the oxygenated door shut. Meticulously entering the code 194D12, she heard the lock click open and the door squeak ajar.
"Roserna!" the cloaked girl yelled after locking the door behind her.
"What's the matter with you? Keep your voice down." Answered a ragged and shaggy voice.
"Sorry commandante, I just felt I had to tell you. BKS is dead." The girl somberly informed Roserna.
"What exactly happened?" The man didn't even flinch at the news that one of his comrades had perished, he actually seemed a bit bored.
"Well we were celebrating our successful assassination of Tweek, one of StickCo's board of directors, when suddenly he took a drink of some of the beer we smuggled and then just dropped dead."
"YOU IDIOTS! Bring the rest of the crates of beer here, obviously they were poisoned, by the Board most likely. They let us steal it." Roserna said at the grim realization. "and next time let those idiotic civilian tag alongs test your food for you. I can't have my troops dying everywhere. Speaking of those cowards, do you have the civilian surveillance report?
"Yes sir, they're still mostly undecided on which side to take. StickCo's propaganda seems to only be confusing the civilians. Out of the confusion they named some poor schlub, Evilbanaan, as a suspected rebel. StickCo took him away and he hasn’t been seen since. The civilians seem paranoid and scared, we still don't know who of them we can trust.”
"Hmm, well be sure to let them know that they had better stay on the sidelines or join our side, or we'll mow them down like the rest of those bourgeois pigs!"
"Right sir, Also one more th-"
"Hey", Roserna interrupted her, "You're a whore...*hic*... Moan!"
She then realized that Roserna had been drinking."Excuse me, commandante?"
"I done with you, unless you're going to orally salute mister sub-commandante, get the fuck out of my face." Roserna spat at her through bloodshot eyes.
She turned at walked towards the door. She hadn't lost any respect for the man, everyone knew how he got after a couple drinks. Plus, he was the mastermind of a movement to overthrow the sole superpower on earth, a bit of brandy was excusable considering the stress he must be under.
She walked through the door, fully aware how foolhardy and impossible their task was.

Deaths:
evilbanaan: civ
Tweek: Corp i dont know what you guys call them im saying corp so fuck you
BKS: Rebel

illustrations to become a constant thing hopefully

OoooF4LiFe · 11-04-2009, 9:46 PM

So we killed a civ, and the directors/rebels traded.

Awesome.

/edit - You can click the picture for a bit more, but meaningless as far as I can see.

Benjaman · 11-04-2009, 9:50 PM

Yeah, clicking it only gives you a bigger version. I wanted a smaller version on the main post just so you could look at it normally, but there's the bigger version if you want to look at details. You shouldn't need it, really.

OoooF4LiFe · 11-04-2009, 9:52 PM

Stopped looking at it after I edited my post, really. Just thought people would be curious.

BKS · 11-04-2009, 9:56 PM

Bitches.
