Road to Wrestlemania: Game over - WWF wins - BANG BANG!

[GMan]

@DDD *sigh*. That's what happens when I post tired.

Flying Armbar: Gobots
Crucifix Bomb: Gobots

[AurorusVox]

^I can't do it on my own Lowell, its the sort of thing that requires everyone to work together.

Stink Face: VasudeVa

Bronco Buster: VasudeVa

Now both Gobots and VV are at 1hp and can be directed as we please.

[VP Baltar]

Yeah, DDD, my wiki is terribly out of date and I keep putting it off cause of my laziness. If you want meta from my recent games, I can link you since I still have them all saved in my bookmarks (under the premise that I will eventually update my wiki)

[Kublai Khan]

Okay.. Let me get Trendell down.

spinning huriKhanrana: Trendell

flying crossbody block: Trendell

[Gobots]

I feel like such a tool.
Where were baby spice and hopster yesterday?

superman punch: trendal
Superman punch: trendal[\b]

[AurorusVox]

Oops, I completely forgot about the 200 character limit. Well there was a lengthy post there showing how it was quicker to get as many people to 1hp as possible than eliminate people as quickly as we can >_>"

[Gobots]

suplex: trendell
Superplex: trendell

[Trendall]

I'm back. Looks like I'm next in line, so who are you gonna all go for after me, and I'll vote for them?

[Furcolow]

JR: Gobots and Double V both narrowly managing to avoid elimination there! Lowell's joining us on commentary now; Lowell, what's your take?

Lowell: I wish they'd all just climb over the top rope and get it over with.

JR: That's an...interesting viewpoint. Gobots taking advantage of his reprieve by suplexing Trendall hard to the mat...and now he lifts him up to the top turnbuckle!

King: You know, somehow it never seems like a good idea to go to the top rope in a Royal Rumble.

JR: Gobots looks like he's hooking Trendall up for the superplex...SUPERPLEX RIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE! By God, Trendall's spine crashed into the floor hard! Gobots changing the angle of the superplex at the last minute to drop Trendall over the top rope and eliminate him!

Furcolow: Can someone PLEASE tell me why Baby Spice is still here?

Trendall has been eliminated! 13 superstars remain.

[Furcolow]

If anyone takes out VDV or Gobots, they're gonna have to answer to ME - next show!

[Furcolow]

Furcolow is busy airing his views on commentary when a sign thrown by a fan hits him in the side of the head, knocking him off his chair!

[VP Baltar]

Furc, you can't double post in this game...fyi. You're going to have to change your posting style here to include all relevant information in single posts.

[SnakePlissken]

SP Quickly jumps the guard rail and picks up a steel chair to continue the assault on Furcolow

'Get off the damn microphone you stinking up the arena!'

SP finishes Furcolow off with the ring bell to the head which busts him wide open. He then throws the chair into the ring which hits Gobots in the ankle. SP then strides over too the announcers desk

[sottyrulez]

RE: post 334

So the plan is to work everyone down to 1 hp and then work out the winner from there? I don't have an issue with that if that's the new plan.

[bristep123]

I don't have a problem with this 1hp plan, I'm just keen to end this round and start the game proper.

*oklahoma roll* Baby Spice
*la magistral* Baby Spice

[Furcolow]

I don't believe AV has ever been lynched as scum, only as town, just saying

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

@SottyZach I think that's more the plan for those who aren't legitimate contenders. Basically everyone from Hoppster on up should be moved to one move away from elimination and everyone from you through KK should be taken down to around 3-5 moves away from elimination.

Roundhouse Kick: Hoppster

Half-Nelson Bulldog: Hoppster

[VP Baltar]

@ Sottyrulez - do you two have any scum reads yet?

[sottyrulez]

That works.

Swinging neck breaker: bristep123
Pendulum backbreaker: bristep123

Scum reads so far are Jason (moves on Thor were out of place), Kise (pointed out a "slip" on SB then didn't bother to vote him)
People we wouldn't mind seeing with the title: Triple D, Gman and possibly KK

[Hoppster]

I don't see the logic behind this 1/3 idea. What's stopping people screwing up the plan before they're at E-1 (Elimination-1)? If the only deterrent is "Oh, don't attack this guy before we say you can because if you do we'll eliminate you", that's not going to change their attitude if they're determined to screw up the plan (or do whatever they concieve as good play). Unless they're scum, in which case I guess they might want to survive as long as possible, but otherwise, they're not going to be convinced something is good for town just because if they don't do it they get eliminated. And who is off-limits anyway? If ultimately everybody's going to wind up at 1/3, then what's wrong with attacking anybody who isn't already at these levels? And what happens when we do have everybody at E-1? Do we just say, "Oh, let's eliminate this person and if you don't we'll eliminate you", they'll realise that they'll be for elimination soon. I'm not expressing this very eloquently, but the gist of what I'm trying to say is that I think this plan is too short-sighted.

[Scott Brosius]

Clothesline: BabySpice

Clothesline: BabySpice

Cobra Clutch: bristep123
Russian Legsweep: bristep123

To add to what I was saying before, the plan lacks forward planning (making imo a bad plan). The incentive of not being eliminated is not a good incentive to fall in line, paticularly as the reason for not being in line in the first place would either be due to a) Lack of belief in the idea; or b) A bad case of teh Scumz. Threatening people is not going to make them believe in the idea, paticularly when the threat is in this case more of bringing the inevitable closer. It's clear that whoever is nominated to be put at E-1 is unlikely to be victorious, and thus they have no motivation for following the plan through. Even if they do, they're just going to be eliminating other E-1's.

It would make sense to completely plan until the end now, with there (hopefully) being enough town left in to push the plan through. To clarify, the idea does make sense to me and I would be willing to go with it were it to be refined.

[Internet Stranger]

I just want the Royal Rumble done and over with now. Im reading and not gleaning any scum information. Just turns out that I was right. Scum wont be caught here.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Hoppster, there are several reasons the plan works. First, we've already gotten rid of the true VIs who would cause problems just for the sake of causing problems. Next, I think it's your criticism that's short-sighted because right now unless you're tossing those at E-1 then you're basically working under the plan; unless you're eliminating people at this point or systemically trying to down a contender you're working within the plan. Even the E-1s have an incentive to work within the plan because if they do that means they may not be champion but they get a voice at the table to help decide who is; additionally if they really want to be champion then some hope is better than none. What if someone no-shows one day with their moves; that could allow an E-1 to grab the title. Last but not least is that this part of the game isn't separate from the rest; if someone wants to cause problems then they can but not only will it cost them the aforementioned things, but will also irritate the rest of the town and thus put them and their side in a worse position once we advance beyond the RR.
