@VP:
Yeah. It's not like we can mass-claim once your list is out and go from there. Vig was the only PR that made sense. It's moot now.

well, I don't think it's moot really. Nobody is saying my list is the best plan and the odds are less than likely that vezo was the vig simply based on random distribution.

Q: Doesn't the vig plan then likely destroy their use as a vig since if we're assuming there's a vig it's far from unreasonable to assume there's also a roleblocker. I think it's been established in MD that a vig is one of the most powerful and useful town roles so I'd hate to lose that if we have one. Now it'd be nice to create a confirmed town out of that; there'd be little reason for scum to claim vig because then they have to either use the scum kill on a town choice target or increasingly claim to be roleblocked etc but it's not impossible to see it happening. Also, that ignores the possibility of a SK taking up the mantle and pretending to be a vig and really wrecking our shit; too many variables for me to like the plan.

It's not a perfect plan, but it was better than either a true random pick (based on something like the stock market), or letting an uninformed majority/informed minority pick.

Having a BP Vig would give us a powerful confirmed townie. A Mason would be a good second choice. (Again, confirmability)

SK claiming Vig is an old story, but if they try to claim it early and are town-directed, then they hurt themselves in the long run.

Personally I doubt that I'm someone that I'd want to give the championship too, though I would like to be lower on the hit list :)

I don't think I want to see any of the PR's claim.
I don't know what annoys me more. Bad Harry Potter fan fiction that gets the facts right, or good Harry Potter fan fiction that doesn't.


Sometimes, when I say "I'm okay", I want someone to give me a hug and say, "Let's watch Doctor Who"

@KK - how does the SK hurt himself if he's NK-immune? Also, I think that the RB point DDD brings up is much more important. Vigs are pretty useful for town, even if the town isn't directing them.

@VP - Hmm.. I'm re-thinking things actually. In a game this size, it's not unlikely that there are re-directors, bus drivers, etc..

Nevermind. Apparently my plan ends up being kinda dumb upon deeper reflection.

This is some great flavor Locke. It really reminds me of how much I miss J.R. and heel King.

Chesskid's plan was odd. How would voting a champ produce more townreads than all the interaction happening now?

Nero, what did you mean by hero/face mechanic? Why did you ask about delayed flips?

Baby is right to look for patterns in this. A small voting block could have stronger ties.

Vp is balls out!

I love vendettas to the death, IS.

Bella, why do you agree with "DDD's plan?"

Thor, why didn't you help trim the fat in the post you made about trimming fat?

Scott brosius, why pick lowell out as a lurker when others hadn't posted more than him?

Respect to KK for seeing the other POV. But kk- how would a champ vig claim, or mason, be confirmed?

I think there are 17 moves uncast right now. Kise, kk, lowel, gman, primatw, tend, fur, me, and jk.

I dunno my list now. Don't want to lose my votes so...

Thor sprints across the ring to deliver a clothesline to VP Baltar in the turnbuckle...


To your first question...really? Go away.
To the second - I consider AV a much better player than you do apparently. Why do you not want AV as end game consideration?

...only to find himself nearly being beheaded as a clothesline from Gobots takes him to the mat!


I stand by the comment and the votes. Do you consider them not fat?

@KK - Keep selling that case, I want to see if it ever gets any teeth.

Scott Brosius is talking trash to Lowell when he gets seized from behind and launched across the ring with a German Suplex!


Lowell is a chronic lurker. It was based on past games not this game in particular.

Lol at all the quotes from the jobronies.

Thor, i guess if you think they are fat then i see what you were doing. I just thought it was strange that you said you liked the plan but didmt put moves on the people vp had them on.

Scott, fair enough

Nero Cain is whipped hard across the ring, straight into a kitchen sink that flips him head over heels!


In wrestling the "good" guys are faces and the "bad" guys are heels. I didn't know why we didn't have some kind of heel turn mechanic or w/e but I think Kise is right and all the WWFers are the faces and the guys trying to take over are the heels.

As for my question about delayed flips. He [the mod] has two categories "Kicked off the road to Wrestlemania" and "Suffering from a long-term injury" so I was wondering why the two categories. Maybe you get injured and the length/severity determines if you are kicked off or not. Maybe its in the rules and I missed it.

I've decided that to make things fairer on people who can't always get on at the same time every day and to make things a whole lot simpler for me when picking the moves up, I won't do the 24 hours by individual timestamps. Instead, it will be 2 moves every 24 hour period, regardless of when you performed your last moves in the previous period. This period will be from 7AM to 7AM my time (GMT), so that's 2AM EST, and so on. That means anyone who performed a move yesterday now has 2 more moves to use. For anyone who's confused about the timing, it's now 7:57AM here in the UK.

Baby Spice walks up to Nero Cain and does a swift

Then grasping him in a front headlock she falls back giving a

DDT to Nero Cain
