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

[vezokpiraka]

Kick in the guts for VV

helicopter spin on VP

[VP Baltar]

AV #21, but you disagree with the plan? Why wail on me for a posting error when there is a much more logical approach to handing out this belt?

[Locke Lamora]

@Mods: About the 200-word limit: Do mods questions count towards the 200-word limit? How are numbers/dates/times handled?

And the move-votes stuff count towards the 200-world

(i.e. can someone trick-vote by having their "Move: Target" vote being the 201 & 202 words in a post?)

Everything a player posts counts towards the limit. If you don't want to take up the space with a question, feel free to PM it to me instead. Generally I'll be checking the post using Word, so if Word counts it as a word, I'll count it as a word. I reserve the right to make exceptions to this if people try to abuse the rule; for example if you post 'IthinkLockeisscummy', I'm going to count it as 5, not one.

As for your second question, I will cut people off after the 200th word, regardless of what content comes after. If they post the move after that point, that gets cut off too and it won't count. Similarly, if a player votes in the second post of a double post, that will also not be counted.

[Nero Cain]

We need a heel/face mechanic.

[VP Baltar]

Not sure how i feel about vote trickery being allowed. Weren't votes allowed regardless of word count in Porkens' game? Oh well.

[Kise]

MVPB and Khan Cena should probably hold the title. No telling if the scum are familiar with them or not, but I personally would like to keep them around on the off chance they're town. Unless someone wants to claim princess, then those are my picks for final two in this here rumble.

Nero, I have a feeling that the WWF alignment means WCW or nWo are the baddies.

[Locke Lamora]

King: Vezokpiraka and VP Baltar are taking a beating in the early stages here, JR!

JR: VasudeVa is stomping a mudhole and walking it dry! He wants to see Vezok out of here as soon as possible.

Move Count 1

Vezokpiraka - 7 (VP Baltar, VasudeVa, VasudeVa)
VP Baltar - 7 (AurorusVox, AurorusVox, Vezokpiraka)
Internet Stranger - 8 (Nero Cain, Nero Cain)
chesskid3 - 8 (VP Baltar, SnakePlissken)
Baby Spice - 9 (Erratus Apathos)
Thor665 - 9 (SnakePlissken)
SnakePlissken - 9 (Baby Spice)
Furcolow - 9 (Baby Spice)
VasudeVa - 9 (Vezokpiraka)

A note on move counts: they will be ordered as above for the duration of the Rumble, with the closest to elimination at the top, followed by the number of moves left remaining to eliminate them and who performed those moves. Anyone with 10 moves still to eliminate will not be included. After the Rumble ends, it will revert to more typical counts.

[Locke Lamora]

Not sure how i feel about vote trickery being allowed. Weren't votes allowed regardless of word count in Porkens' game? Oh well.

If they're included in the first 200 words, they'll count. If I'm not there to cut it off straight away, it's up to the players to work out if a post is too long. I had a vote disallowed immediately prior to the Avenger fallout for double posting in the last game, so it's just an extension of the logic.

[Gobots]

Royal Rumble?! More like Royal FUMBLE! WOOoooooooooo!

I really want to make a Bushwacker out of someone...but I guess we could do it more calculated. I don't really know who stinks at endgame. Time to go to work, I'll double clothesline someone before this day is out.

[Nero Cain]

I don't understand why we are disscussing end game. Today is not a lynch and the title will change hands. So we should give the title to someone the mafia would likely nk tonight.

MOD: Is this a delayed flip game?

[Locke Lamora]

MOD: Is this a delayed flip game?

No, flips will happen as eliminations/injuries happen. No delays. As there are no abilities active and no lynch during this show, there obviously won't be any flips during the Rumble.

[Kublai Khan]

I think there's 3 main schools of strategy for this opening round.

Popularity -> what we're currently doing
Random -> choose some random method
Optimize -> Essentially out a verifiable PR and verify them.

I like the third option and I think we should make a vig unnightkillable and direct them as a second lynch mechanic.

Thoughts?

[AurorusVox]

@VP: I don't disagree with the logic. But I didn't like your post ("Hey I'm town") and the fact you double posted allowed me to pun on the double attack, sorry :\ Plenty of people will be happy to vote the Chesskids of the world so I don't think you need my moves today to finish them.

[Lowell]

homoeroticize: Kublai

Crotch punch: Vezo

Those are moves, right?

[VasudeVa]

@Mod: How does the 2 moves per day work? Do you check timestamps or some other Vi-ish method?

I know who I'm going after vezok. *whistles*

[VP Baltar]

@KK - an UNK vig would be good....but of course we're also taking the person at their word they are the vig and not a mafioso or an SK. The latter particularly bothers me. If we have an investigation ability such as cop, tracker or watcher I think that would be even better to protect with UNK.

@Nero - from my understanding, the title only changes hands if the person is eliminated from the game. If we choose correctly, this should not be an issue in the future.

@AV - I understand, but I still think your choice of hits was poor and impulsive. Keeping my eye on you.

[AurorusVox]

I don't deny that it was impulsive. I haven't really invested that much thought in long-term strategy for the belt.

Having re-read the WWF Title specs, you're right that it has less opportunity to change hands than the others belts (it can also change by player vote at No Way Out, btw), so I will be more careful in the future. That said, I don't think you should have the belt after specifically asking for it, so I wouldn't call it a poor choice.

[VP Baltar]

Why shouldn't I ask for it? I know I'm town and I know I'm an okay player that can be helpful. I trust myself more than anyone else at this ponit, so I see no reason for me to be modest about it. I understand you will have your doubts and that's cool, but I see no reason for me to NOT want the belt if I think I can help the town win the game.

[sottyrulez]

We like VP's plan to rid the rumble of the people we wouldn't want around at end game first. KK's idea of an un-nightkillable vig is very tempting but it's early and I don't like the idea of power roles coming out to try and grab the belt.

Inverted atomic drop to Vezo
Standing dropkick to vezo

[Internet Stranger]

Well, it looks like Nero and I wont be getting the title as we are now locked in a vendetta feud to the DEATH.

Push: Nero Cain
Shove: Nero Cain

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Predictably co-signed on to the VPB plan at least the eliminating people we don't want to see in LYLO part of it.

European Uppercut: Vezo

Pumphandle Slam: Vezo

[VP Baltar]

Only DDD has to prove they are real moves

I think Vezo is at L-2 atm. Someone finish him off and then get to work on chesskid.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Well I plan to keep linking because while a European Uppercut might not need to be explained unless we've got fans of Mitsuharu Misawa an Emerald Flowsion will probably require a visual aide.

[Bella]

I think DDD's approach is a good one, if only to avoid accusations that you're making up moves in order to make trick votes.

Cattle Mutilation: chesskid3

Phoenix DDT: chesskid3

[Hoppster]

Sidewalk Slam: Lowell

Bulldog: Lowell

I sure don't want to be on the recieving side of his moves. (No pun intended.)
