Opposite Gender Friends leads to Lower Academic Performance
Interesting paper I'm reading right now. Not completely done with it, but its methodology seems sound.

Hi I am new, quick question
I am starting a game with some friends, can you play with less than 7 people? If so, is anything different compared to a full game? Thanks :-)

I really don't see Yoyo as mafia, though. And given I'm going to be hammering tomorrow, I really struggle to see why I'd hammer him over either of you.

HR, you haven't been following the debate like townies have. have you gone back and reread things to confirm your opinions?

"I'm going to be hammering tomorrow"

What do you mean HR?
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
I have been following. Ever since I got Chaqa lynched; I've been trying to find mafia - because I could only "win" by getting to the end; which required me to find the mafia. So I found tvrocks like that, and I knew ghug (though I wanted to get his partner because this endgame would be piss easy for me if I knew who the scum was).
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
I mean, wjessop, that I'll get the casting vote. Because I can't be mafia (no matter how much you might want to pretend I am). The mafia ignored my request to kill Yoyo, so I want them to lose. When they kill one of you 3 tonight, I have to decide which of the other two is the mafia.
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Aug 15 UTC
"No matter how much you might want..."

Because I've been pushing that? Please...you're desperation is weird, that's all.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
what do you think of my analysis of the post tvrocks made that got him killed, where i basically conclude that there's no way wjessop is scum
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Aug 15 UTC
@HR: I hope they kill me if only to finally release me from this game that's gone on way longer than I expected and then I could just sit back and watch you flail in your desperate reasoning. If Yoyo is the scum you'd walk into his victory.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
I think you're wrong, y2k.

Shall we go back to D5, though. Remember ghug's weird change at the end was the one that tipped it onto tvrocks? Why did he do that? He obviously wouldn't get townread for it even though tvrocks was scum, and he's good enough to know that. So why not just stay on wjessop, like you, and other people, and let it tie?

I think it's because it was SvS, and he realised that if wjessop did get lynched, and tvrocks then did too, in either order, he'd look really really bad. It'd be essentially a 1v1 of him vs you for the final mafia.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
10 Aug 15 UTC
It doesn't make sense from this perspective becuase the only other person who could be scum is you.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
i'm 99.7% sure yoyo is scum with no reason to distrust HR's bounty hunter claim
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
10 Aug 15 UTC
After all, he let Warden and I both look really town (or at least, not mafia, ha ha) for forcing that tvrocks vote. Where's his motivation to do that if wjessop is town?
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
wow that's terrible reasoning HR, just as bad as your reasoning that scum had to be one of the wagons on D1
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
Also, can we all

##end

it again? Now that the syntax is definitely right; there's really no point in making this a 48 hour day for a tie.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
11 Aug 15 UTC
Hmm. Now that I think about it, I'm more confident that wjessop is scum. His analysis about wjessop not being scum is why he followed so blindly with him. y2k what day (-or night) did you post your analysis
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
yea ##END

wjessop being town fully justifies ghug's vote switch as well. he couldn't be caught causing a tie, especially if tvrocks was revealed scum and lynched likely the following day.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
When wjessop turns out to be mafia, y2k, we'll see if I was wrong about that - as the BH, I watched those votes and the whole thing felt so very very wrong to me.

Though given you're almost certain to die tonight, you'll see before I do.

Please don't end just yet. I think we can get this right.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
Why not, y2k? He wasn't the only one causing a tie. You were, too. You were both on wjessop rather than tvrocks, remember? As was krellin. He actually had more names to hide in on the wjessop wagon than the tvrocks wagon. He brought a lot of attention onto himself for that change. I want to know why.

@Yoyo

I'm not voting the mafia today; because then I don't get to be part of the draw as you lynch me tomorrow. I will work with town; on the condition you take it to 3 way. So please end it.

Pacific Northwest FTF
I've only ever played FTF with people who don't really care about the game and want to be done after a year, and I always feel a twinge of jealousy when I sew those people having fun playing in real life on that crappy coast across the country. This is just a post to see who might be interested in getting something set up on this side of the country. I'm in the Seattle area.

Conundrum
So the people who make the schedules at my school are kinda dumb. I signed up for both AP Micro/Macroeconomics and AP European History. Only one class of each is being offered. And they happen to be the same hour. So I need to drop one and pick up some other course. I really don't know, so what (preferably AP) course would you suggest for me to take instead of AP Micro/Macroeconomics (because there's no chance I'll drop Euro)?

Getting Germany every single game
Hi everybody, I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with an account getting a certain country every single game. One of my friends who I've played in several games against has drawn Germany out of the pot every single time. We're onto the fifth time out of 5 games he's gotten Germany.

I'd put it up to chance but we've reached 5 sigma and are on our way to 6. Thoughts?
