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 :-)

It might be majority vote though

Ending is majority.

Fucking hell. I thought you did. And I voted unend because I think you're scum exploiting HR's tunnel on me.

Clearly too tired for this, past 1 am here.

It seems we might have Ended already anyway
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
Yes, I think it's ended. y2k handily voted end before pointing out the syntax error though; which is what I guess the confusion is about.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
yea i was jumpy on the end, i'm pretty dead set on yoyo being scum right now and nothing you two are saying are convincing me otherwise
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
To be honest, if y2k accidentally lynched himself, I'll have to crack up laughing, even if it has handed wjessop the game.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
no way in hell the GM's would rule that
wjessop (100 DX)
11 Aug 15 UTC
Actually, the GMs previously discounted votes in this game because of syntax errors and single-hashtags.

How surprising; wjessop is actually speaking up in favour of y2k being lynched and handing mafia the game (unless y2k is mafia, and lynched himself. And if that's the case, I'll probably be laughing non-stop for weeks on end).

Lol they've been douches about the time, so...

the whole end-game just sucks thanks to the weak third-party role
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
Try being that weak third party role for the entire bloody game...
wjessop (100 DX)
11 Aug 15 UTC
At least they're thorough...

But if Yoyo gets away with this he's the sneakiest scum ever.

Yoyo: why did you vote y2 as soon as HR said he'd vote end if you voted y2??
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
yoyo is just going along with it, he's scum
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
if i end then unend before anyone else can post, including the GM, then there shouldn't be enforcement of that end vote causing an ended phase
wjessop (100 DX)
11 Aug 15 UTC
I suppose the word hammer is used for a reason

Y2: if you've hammered yourself this will be tragic but funny. Another standout M10 moment...
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
11 Aug 15 UTC
i go and get townies lynched all day, waiver like crazy on tvrocks, finally smack ghug, then throw the win to yoyo off crap like that, talk about a roller coaster of a game. there's no way in hell GM's rule that. we're going to N7 with a D7 no-lynch.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
11 Aug 15 UTC
I take it back. You're both morons, regardless of your roles.

@Wjessop I voted y2k in order to tie it.

@y2k can you please take wjess' genitals out of your mouth? Even when he's clearly doing something scummy, you find a way to flip it on me.
wjessop (100 DX)
11 Aug 15 UTC
But how does Yoyo win? Surely even if he NKs me then it will be a HR-Yoyo tie?
wjessop (100 DX)

Wow.

Yoyo, you get nasty when you're excited.

@All: There are several issues at hand. First, can players END the phase without having a clear majority on a single candidate? Second, syntax. Third, should the END vote even be counted since CaptainMeme or I were not there to immediately resolve it?

CaptainMeme and I agreed to GM this equally. I feel like I would be doing a disservice to our moderation team if I resolved now based on my findings. In the interest of fairness I am going to have to PAUSE the discussion/game here until CaptainMeme and I can properly discuss and rule on this.

Please hold discussion and posting until either I or CaptainMeme provide a greater explanation (and possible resolution to D7). This will occur once he has a chance to examine the information and we discuss our thoughts on it.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Please PM myself or CaptainMeme any concerns

Y2kjbk was fed up. For weeks he had been negotiating, pleading for his life, debating, and it had all been getting on his nerves.

“Let’s just end this. We’re so close to the end, let’s get it over with.”

“Fine by me.” Said Yoyoyozo, and shot him.

Y2k looked down at the blaster wound in his chest. “That’s not what I meant…” were his final words. Yoyoyozo moved forward to inspect the body, and went pale.

“I suppose this means I am locked in a room with a Jedi and a Bounty Hunter?”

Y2KJBK, also known as JHARED MONTFERRAT, an IMPERIAL OFFICIAL, has been lynched!

“Indeed,” came the reply, from right behind him, as the lightsabre activated. Yoyoyozo fell to the ground.

YOYOYOZO, also known as WINSTEL GREELANX, an IMPERIAL OFFICIAL, has been killed!

Hellenic Riot and Wjessop stood facing one another for a second before leaping into action. Wjessop raised his lightsabre, but Riot dived forward and knocked it across the room.

Riot looked up to see that Wjessop had grabbed Greelanx’s blaster from the ground. The sound of the shot rang in his ears. To Wjessop’s surprise, the Bounty Hunter was still standing.

“Ah.” Said Wjessop, “I see you earned your armour after all. I suppose we’ll call it a truce?”

At that moment, an explosion rocked the ship and the two of them lost sight of one another.

“Tractor Beam offline.” Came an automated voice. With the Falcon and Slave I in the Hangar, both the Jedi and the Bounty Hunter would now be able to leave.

Throughout the Imperial Starship fires burned wildly as volatile containers exploded and sirens screeched. A frail old man in Jedi robes walked through the carnage of the previous day’s battle before beginning to commune with the force.

“Master Yoda” Obi-Wan Kenobi, also known as Wjessop, stated in a dreamlike trance.

“Obi-Wan” The voice of Yoda answered.

“The son of Skywalker has perished along with his friend the Smuggler” Obi-Wan stated sadly “I believe our mission is at an end.”

“Failed you have” Yoda replied “Multiple mistakes you made my friend”

Obi-Wan’s eyes widened in shock as he heard Yoda’s reply, but also saw a figure walking towards him through the smoke and flame of the starship with a blaster rifle pointed straight at him.

“You didn’t actually believe me did you?” Boba Fett, also known as Hellenic Riot, said amused.

“Chaqa, Fluminator, Vashta?” Boba Fett laughed “More like Y2kjbk, Vashta, and Tvrocks”

Obi-Wan Kenobi snapped to his feet and readied his lightsaber, but age had taken its toll on the fabled Jedi warrior. No longer was he the Jedi General of the Clone Wars.

Boba Fett fired a round from his blaster which Obi-Wan managed to deflect before walking forward.

“I remember you from Kamino, Jedi” Boba said angrily “It was people like you who killed my father!”

“Your father was helping the Sith!” Obi-Wan shouted before rushing forward with his lightsaber.

Boba Fett sidestepped him and then blasted the old Jedi with his rifle.

WJESSOP also known as OBI-WAN KENOBI, the ROLEBLOCKER, has been killed!

“Its people like me who get paid” Boba said softly before stepping past the smoking body towards his ship, SLAVE ONE, victorious.

As Boba walked into the hangar he clicked his comlink to the Hutt Cartel.

“The bounties are dead, the imperials are in ruin, and the leadership of the rebel alliance wiped out” Boba Fett looked back at the burning ship one last time before adding, “Now where are my credits!”

HELLENIC RIOT the BOUNTY HUNTER is VICTORIOUS. Nothing can stop him now that he has night immunity and night killing capabilities from completing his mission.

-GAME OVER-

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?
