Episode 20 - FTC

[Joss Carter]

It's anybody's game!

[Alexandra Cabot]

this is the only thing i will complain about

[Joss Carter]

It was either this or the old-school way of just having a single thread.

[Joss Carter]

Or a few other options but those don't allow me to set up my false dichotomy so fuck 'em.

[Paul Blart]

I miss each juror getting a thread, though that probably created way too much grandstanding by the jury.

[Tachikoma]

in the next haschel game structural will be the only thread

[Tachikoma]

i dont think you could invent a screw from an actual twist as bad as what just happened to rust from the f2 tbh

Sounds great!

[Alexandra Cabot]

why don't we just make no threads. let the jury figure out what it wants

[Judge]

I miss each juror getting a thread, though that probably created way too much grandstanding by the jury.

It also makes it insane for the finalists to focus on shit with a bazillion threads to track. What I enjoyed about how PCW did it was having a thread for each finalist so the focus was on them and not each jury member instead.

I know RPG did this as well.  Don’t really remember how I felt about it there, though, but I remember having something to say about it.

“Answer these questions and we’ll tell you your dream FTC format” seems like a fun Buzzfeed quiz, if someone wants to get on that.

Who would have guessed that a F2 would shift us from a Rust/Leon/Lucifer F3 to somehow having Poirot at the end, though! Really kind of crazy.

[Nick Wilde]

Reading back through confs and I found this quote from Poirot:

"After only one day of playing zis game, I'm finding myself thinking in ze accent of Hercule Poirot."

I relate to this so much. There was one game I put on a stupid accent for and I found myself starting to talk to people irl in that accent towards the end of the game, to a lot of weird looks.

I stan Poirot so much. It's insane he made it here. Gogogogo

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Yeah, I get that too.  Whatever I try to embody in a game quickly starts seeping into how my mind works in general, it only takes a couple days!!

That 2-1-1 vote at 4 is really essential for Poirot because otherwise his story would be guy who was in a great position, and basically floated to the end with little agency.  He was not getting any boots he wanted post Grouch vote.
