Ninja'd. Thanks for the breakdown, V.

unless the green team unites quickly as a negotiating block -- this causes the teams to hide from each other most easily

Did this scenario ever occur in the game(s) you played? That would certainly be a major shift from the game's initial standpoint.

yes, it started out as a game of lynching greens and then fiction turned it into a game of bartering with fiction.

This is an incredibly good study of how this set-up runs. You will need to create an FFYa login.

Here's a quick synopsis
1. day one people decide lynching greens is the easiest tactic
2. greens realize if one of them publicly reveals (fiction) and the other greens come to that person, they can create a voting block to control the lynch keeping themselves alive throughout the game
3. my team mate (viccica, seer, scissors) died N1 and i tried to force fiction (the greens) into lynching my other team mate (our guardian) so that i could force paper into guarding me while i killed them. it was an attempt at coercing the green team to win exclusively with scissors, making the green team the scissors++ team.
4. the whole thing became a 36 hour exercise in chaos theory after that, ending in a rock victory

lessons to take home:
1. you need to act quickly with your strategy and solidify it before winning moves out of your grasp
2. you need to make sure your strategy has an alternate win if the first prong fails

and at this point it makes the most sense to come out as green so that the other greens know that it is in their best interest to come out to me ASAP so we can keep ourselves from being lynched. i don't have aim, so you will need to PM me.

I thought the point of this game was to see what direction new players would take it in, not force it in the same direction it already went.

I am a less happy veiwer to the thread now.

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

yea but an equally apt strategy is to lynch V day 1

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

come at me bro

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

hey greens

we are in this together, we need each other if we are going to win, please contact me so i can get all of us in touch. You have nothing to lose by doing so because you can't be vigi'd, only lynched and contacting me isnt going to get you lynched

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

That doesnt look suspicious at all. Wouldnt that just drive any greens away from you if you are, in fact, a green?

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

Why would it?

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

Better question, what would you do if you were green? If I was a green, I would see myself as a wildcard in this game. I should be the one you lobby to to get me on your team. If I were green, I would be willing to listen to all offers available. Think of the kind of potential you have as green in this game.

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

It seems to me that if people know you're a green, then they're going to just discount anything you say.

I would be really leery of using anyone who's stated goals are to lynch my team mates.

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

Everyone is trying to kill your teammates one way or another. I don't think you should discount what anyone says. If you do that, you may be cutting off an ally that may go work for the enemy and take you out with what ever info you shared. To me, I think greens are the strongest in the game. The only way they die, is through a lynch. Blues can't touch them. They are one of two things at this point. Either they are your greatest allies if you get them on your side, or the greatest enemy to everyone and should be eliminated.

Re: jTWiG LXII - RPS

I have nothing solid to go on at this point and I am going to bed. I work till 7 something tomorrow and will be checking aim through the day. If you want to get in contact with me, do so and ill try to check as frequently as my job allows. Safety on yo man I'm awesome.

Ugh, I'll go for Senip for being wary about a green aliance leader.

Seems like that's odd logic considering that V really hasn't done anything to show that he's even a green. If he's a vigi, then obviously he's going to want to know who the greens are so he can take them out, since green's whole schtick is to kill vigis.
