Game of Thrones episode leak
Generally, I'm not the kind of a player who post on the forum, let alone start a new thread. (Although I do read almost all). This time I can't contain my excitement . 4 episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 has been leaked online and I am in a dilemma. I would want to watch those ASAP, but legally. At the same time it would be impossible to avoid spoilers for a month. Any insights on this?
Also +1 this if you got the news from here first :p

wow. I have a few complaints with Clattenburg, but all the goals seemed legit. I suppose United is back with this 6 game winning streak.

Most Ridiculous BS That TV Audiences Believed
What are some hilariously ridiculous things that television (and newspaper) fans actually believed? Here are some good ones off the top of my head that fit into this summary:
1. CNN says Isis lures western girls with nutella, emojis and kittens
2. Gadafi was giving viagra to his troops for his raping campaign
3. The Iraqi army while at war decided to make stopovers at hospitals to throw babies out of incubators and let them die on the the floor

South America Variant
I have no friends. So between my mom and dad and two siblings we play the 5-player South America map. I searched "Diplomacy South America Strategy" and only get Risk results. I am always the first to lose and my parents laugh every time and tell me to make myself useful and do the dishes while they enjoy a game with their real children. Any help?

Well, I'm kinda good at diplomacy, and that can really help in convincing people not to kill you, Chaqa :)

Jeff, I think that's MY wish. I'm always a power role. It'd me nice to be a vanilla once. (Sorry if that offends anyone :P)
Fluminator (1500 D)

I'm still bummed I picked Jeff over Goldie. That would have been a different game. Hooker dead and I could claim and guarantee to get my next scan in with the doc.
ghug (5068 D(B))
08 Apr 15 UTC
Chaqa, nobody's claiming to know things in black and white. This game is largely about convincing others to see the way you see. When I'm town, I'm never sure in my opinions, but I'm more sure in them than I am in anyone else's, and I know the other townies are in similar positions, so I'm going to do my best to convince people to see things the way I do. Part of that is acting more confident than I am.

I let things change my perception all the time, and I usually post conclusions well before I jump to them because I want to see how people react. I'll agree with you that we had some problem this game with people like meme and uclabb (Seriously dude, just own up to the fact that you played an awful game. The rest of us have.) being too confident in their soft-clears and letting that blind them, but I think you fundamentally misunderstand what a lot of us are trying to do, and that's why you've never been very helpful to any team you've been on.

guak, I've been shot night two a couple times, but I generally inflame enough people early that I'm not the sexiest nightkill.

Just for fun, here are my stats on mafia games so far.

Mafia record:

As mafia: 1 game (Mafioso) - 1 win (survived)
As 3rd party: 1 game (SK) - 1 tie (survived)
As town PR: 1 game (Cop) - 1 win (NKd by mafia)
As vanilla town: 3 games - 1 win (survived), 1 tie (NKd by SK), 1 loss (Day lynched for lurking)

6 games played: 3 survivals - 2 NKs - 1 Day lynch.

Fwiw, I think Chaqa played a good game. He also picked good targets to douse.
Maniac (189 D(B))

@Chaqa and thd, maybe consider breadcrumbing your roles if given prs next time - it helps massively when claiming
Maniac (189 D(B))
08 Apr 15 UTC
@Guak - stats don't tell the whole story. I've never lost but still don't think I fully understand the game sometimes. You were excellent this game and mvp for sure
uclabb (589 D)
08 Apr 15 UTC
@ghug- I never said that my results weren't poor. That's obvious. What I said is that given the information I had, I can't really go back and say "oh, I should have done this" except hitting gold instead of Jeff and *maybe* hitting gold last night instead of Death.

Besides that, saying I played poorly makes it seem like I think I should have played better, like my "true skill" is higher. I don't feel that way. I think my performance reflected my true skill. Do I want to be better? Obviously. But I don't think I made boneheaded plays or anything like that. I just missed it this game- my general thought coming into this game is that blatant "scum tells" are overrated, and that heuristic was horrible this game with bo and gold and to a lesser extent Maniac.
guak (3381 D)
08 Apr 15 UTC
@Maniac: of course they don't. They are just stats. Same as W-L records on webdip. Still, there is a reason you haven't lost. You are very hard to read.

Hey, does anyone think we should bring back the Question Asker from M2? I forgot about it, it was a cool role.
guak (3381 D)
09 Apr 15 UTC
I wouldn't. Many new, interesting roles out there that cannot be used to 'game' the system.

What's that role?
guak (3381 D)
10 Apr 15 UTC
See M2, link is in first page of this chat. Basically I think when the QA got killed the town got a yes-no answer to a question of the QA's choosing.

I liked it that time because it was fun to discuss what the optimal question was, but I think we pretty much got it

You were wrong though.
uclabb (589 D)
10 Apr 15 UTC
How so?
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Apr 15 UTC
I don't actually remember; I just remember us having slightly different questions we wanted to ask and arguing for far too long about it.
uclabb (589 D)
10 Apr 15 UTC
I think the argument was:
ghug: "yeah, you're probably right uclabb, but let's make the question sound better/ less mathy so people will get behind it."
uclabb: "ghug, you are such a man of the people. Respect."
DeathLlama8 (514 D)

Just realized that uclabb is not pronounced "you-CLAHB"
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Apr 15 UTC
I think it might have been the other way around for once, actually, but I remember it being one of the main reasons I suspected you.

It's clearly "you-see-lab-ub."

Our language has capitals for a reason. uclabb deserves to be shot N1 every game for failing to conform to linguistic norms.
