Yea i agree, if I was still in the ring I would be hitting him. His intentions are selfish and add nothing really to the game in a logical thought out way.

Vp, what's your opinion generally on the tactic of keeping everyone at medium endurance levels? You moved against Scot and now Gobot's, people espousing that tactic.

Scott needed to go because he was striking people not on the list. Gobots seems very interested in creeping up to get the belt. Also, I don't know either and I don't know if they are skilled enough to wield the power of the belt.

As far as keeping people at medium endurance levels...I don't see the point. Focused eliminations are much quicker and will get us down to the real discussion faster.

I liked the plan you put forward (though I think it's obviously slower becuase it reduces the amount of votes in circulation), but when we start to get down to a dozen people you need to start leveling the vote totals otherwise you're going to end with deals being made.

Further it gets towards the end, the more irrelevant any lists are going to be, you know this. Unless you'e banking on the laziness of townies, in which case fair enough, I don't think there's going to be any big conflict their either. If I was still in, I'd fight for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if most in there just kind of want to get on with the game, we'll see I suppose.

Actually as its drawing closer to the conclusion, knocking out a bunch of people quickly reduces the number of people that can vote at any given moment and so will actually slow the process down. If you want to get maximum speed, you need to get people to 1 and then instruct them who to attack, and if they don't, someone attacks them for their non-compliance. Anyone who attacks someone at 1 is also attacked for non compliance.

Think about it: if we were to pile onto the people at the top asap to eliminate "body after body", it could take this long to resolve (I'm working with the latest move count, which I know is out of date a little, but it nevertheless illustrates my point):

a 5 0
b 6 0
c 6 0
d 8 0
e 8 0
f 8 7 0
g 8 8 0
h 8 8 7 0
i 9 9 9 2 0
j 9 9 9 9 0
k 9 9 9 9 8 2 0
l 9 9 9 9 7 1 0
m 9 9 9 9 9 9 7 5 3 1 0
n 10 10 10 10...

...as Aurorus stands trying to co-ordinate some kind of strategy, two other superstars decide they have had enough and catapult him shoulder first into the ring post!

I think it's too late to change the way this is working without it being more effort than it's worth to be honest. Choice made, roll with choice.

German Suplex: GoBots

Brock Lock: GoBots


There has to be a balance between speed and the optimum outcome; but whichever mode is preferred it still requires us to take people down to one or two moves. So I propose we make this the first test of the idea. Someone else hits GoBots with two moves to send him down to one move from elimination; from there his sole responsibility will be move to everyone's least favorite lurker, Trendall, down to two moves. As long as he does that we keep him around; if he chooses to disregard that order he gets tossed. Agreed?

That makes sense. You are indeed correct Primate and DDD probably has a very workable plan to make it more feasible. That is of course if we don't have VIs come in and just start knocking people out...which hopefully we do not.

VP's list worked to help sort out the least manageable players on the list.

... I think...

..I hope...

How about we put people likely to knock others out willy nilly (Gobots et al) at 1 HP, while the people who are more likely to stick with the plan get stuck at like 3 HP for good measure?

Sounds pretty good, though I think 1/3 is a bit fragile and would prefer 3/5 for the minute. With the understanding that if you really don't want someone in the game get rid of them, don't mess about with equalising, of course.

Yeah, can you guys still in this phase of the game do what we say please. Cheers.

I don't have a problem with 1/3 because anyone knocking someone out at that point is basically just saying, "hey, eliminate me next because I hate the town" and I think we'd be happy to oblige them.

Jason; I think I've been going at this fairly logically. It's not like I've just been voting for random dudes.

I disagree with Primate. As far as I'm concerned, we haven't broken into chaos or strayed from the original plan that much. It's not like it's too late to calm down and reevaluate, as y'all are doing right above me here.

being selfish, well, I guess. I'm all about having the belt, somewhat for bragging rights. However, also I'm in the "don't out the PRs" camp, so without taking roles into consideration, I do think I'm the best man for the job. I think the low life/controlled throwouts is the
most boring
safest way to go.

As for that cowardly remark earlier, hey, I knew I would draw attention by knocking dudes out - I think there are far more cowardly ways to do this.

I'd continue to stack votes on Trendal and Vasu. Let me have my last two votes tomorrow morning if nothing else.

@GMan, you like 334 but you don't implement the plan in it? I clearly stated that Gobots should be sent to one move from elimination (which your moves would've done) and then he should be voting Trendall not that others should be voting Trendall which runs counter to the idea, presented.

Hey VPB, off-topic but how up to date is your Wiki page?

Could the people still performing wrestling moves please say if they agree with #334 or not?

For the record, I'm good with the new revised plan. Anyone who performs a move without stating a opinion on it should be considered an immediate target.

Aurorus should quit meekly asking permission and just do it. The rest of us are dying of boredom over here.
