Default Re: POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread

Will someone explain to me why every time there is an alliance formed in a game like this people completely ignore the most obvious way to stop the alliance (have everyone join). The fact that this is never done is beyond me. Once a critical mass of support is reached not joining the alliance is the equivalent of pissing into the wind.

Kokiri:

You want people to join an alliance started by you, instead of an alliance started by me, mets & dmk. You haven't said anything that makes yours different from ours. Not a damn thing.

I'm thinking that your major difference is, that by not calling it an alliance, you're trying to to leave it open for backstabbing other members when convenient, or the whim strikes.

[/ QUOTE ]

the key difference is that i'm genuinely open to all, rather than trying to start from a preordained clique, and am not trying to throw mud around.

i agree that there's only so much difference that either side can offer, but i'm not going to pretend that anyone can't see that. Rather I think that the remaining voters will choose to play a different game to +/-

how about we just start over?

Lets all vote Alex Jacob mayor and he can eliminate whoever he wants.

im serious about this.

Alex Jacob or Nich. Or even Spook.

This way we aren't in the ridiculous situation where the fate of 1/2 the players is decided on D1.

I have a better idea.

Have Jared rand() an elimination, and start again tomorrow.

that'd be the equivalent of being on survivor and saying "ok, this is unfair. we have 12 ppl and 7 have an alliance. can we start over please?"

I was trying to purpose a solution so you guys didn't all have to die.

ok, I really am going to sleep now.

proxy my vote to Kokiri - in case voting somebody neutral like AJ happens

if proxying isnt allowed then my vote stays on Kokiri

Another question for Jared: Since there's people in the game that didn't specifically request to play, can you shoot them a PM / AIM so they know about it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely not.

There should be no communication about this game with other players outside of this thread.

FWIW I would strongly encourage eliminating anyone who doesn't post at least once today regardless of which "alliance" gets the most votes
