Episode 17: Penny Saved? Penny Burned.

[Joss Carter]

This is the last round where jurors will outnumber players at the FTC, if this is an F2.

HUGEEEE SHOUTOUT TO RUST FOR ALWAYS DEALING WITH MY BEFORE VOTE 10 MINUTE NERVOUS PMS OF "should we split it, did we fuck up" WITHOUT A BLINK OF AN EYE

yeah wow! he seems like he has a really good grasp on this game, i wonder what that could suggest

[Tachikoma]

predictable comment about how ridiculous it is to not inform the players of the finale structure by f5.

[Tachikoma]

i've decided to die on this hill every game from now on, it's not you specifically, i think this should be a rule

[Alexandra Cabot]

i disagree. i will not state my reasons

[Joss Carter]

I like leaving it a mystery because it prevents players from definitively knowing what to do with goats.

[Tachikoma]

it just intensely bothers me that someone could play a perfect game to win one configuration and then get dunked because lol.

[Tachikoma]

and its like, almost impossible to play a game that would win either way without relying on f3 immunity.

[Alexandra Cabot]

i don't think it should be codified as an actual rule of lsgs. that removes autonomy from moderators. maybe it could be incorporated into the rating system as a 'twist' or similar

[Alexandra Cabot]

that is to say if you're not up front that accrues points or whatever. i think also that there is a counter-argument by way of comparison to swaps not being known ahead of time but the terminal nature of f2/3 obviates that to some extent

[Alexandra Cabot]

well i guess i have stated my reasons

[Ace Ventura]

I haven’t been following along, who should I be rooting for

Not Leon

[Cheddar]

I have officially converted to a Rust fan.  Hercule as well but I think he's really fallen from his power position.

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Penelope is fun too.  I'm thinking about that big Jake vote Pikachu put together that got idoled back on him.  A really impressive effort by Pikachu that ended up shifting Penelope in with Rust/Lucifer for the long-term, even though Pikachu went home right there.  Was reminded of it by Penelope freaking out that Judy could have an idol last night, because she correctly did the same thing with Jake.

I already stanned but now I stan more
