Official Vote Count 1.0C (unchanged) The Major System

This isn’t really about maths but it’s about numbers and taking a detour to teach you the Major System is worthwhile because it’s really really cool and useful fun, and it can help with maths too. You too can pretend to have a photographic memory with the help of mnemonics!

It is best to do this in your native language, but English is the lingua franca here, so we’ll do it in English and you can translate the concept into your native languages in your own time, except I’ve already done German so I can post that too.

• 0 : s, z, c (like city)
  
• 1 : t, d, th
  
• 2 : n
  
• 3 : m
  
• 4 : r
  
• 5 : l
  
• 6 : ch, sh, j, g (like gem)
  
• 7 : k, g (like game), c (like cake)
  
• 8 : f, v, ph (like pharmacy)
  
• 9 : b, p
  
• free : a, e, h, i, o, u, w, y

Spoiler: German

• 0 : s, z, ß, c (weich)
  
• 1 : t, d, th
  
• 2 : n
  
• 3 : m
  
• 4 : r
  
• 5 : l
  
• 6 : ch, g (weich), j (wie Dschungel), sch, dsch
  
• 7 : k, ck, g (hart) c (hart)
  
• 8 : f, v, w, ph
  
• 9 : b, p
  
• frei : a, ä, e, ë, h, i, ï, j, o, ö, u, ü, y

This is based on sounds, not on spelling, so night would be 21 not 261 because the g is not pronounced. xerox would be 0470.

The idea is that once you memorise the system, you can memorise long strings of numbers by converting chunks of 3-4 numbers into words and then making a funny, memorable story to go with the words. For example you could remember the first 16 digits of pi with “my turtle banjo lime love book palm” 3.141692653589793.

You can make up words on the fly with this system and that’s good practice, but ultimately what you want to do is decide on a set of words that will always mean certain numbers, for example 1 is always tea and never anything else and so if you want to remember the first thing on your list you ask yourself if you have any funny stories about tea. If 1 is sometimes tea and sometimes tie then you might make a funny story about tea and but then you go looking for a story about a tie and you don’t find anything.

It can be fun to try to count this way, trying to use the same words each time:
sea, tea, Noah, ma, ray, law, jaw, key, foe, paw,
daze, dad, den, dam, dare, dale, dash, deck, dive, dab,
NASA, net, nun, name, near, nail, nudge, neck, navy, nab,
mouse, mat, man, mama, mare, mail, mash, mac, mafia, map,
race, rat, ran, ram, rare, rail, rash, reck, reef, rap,
lace, lad, lane, lamb, lair, lily, lash, lake, love, lab,
chase, chat, chain, chime, chair, chill, cha-cha, check, chav, chap,
case, cat, can, cam, car, call, cash, cake, calf, cap
face, fat, fan, femme, fear, fail, fish, fake, fife, fab
base, bat, ban, bomb, boar, ball, bash, back, buff, baby
daisies…

Then if you have to remember a shopping list to buy potatoes, onions, mustard, marjoram, garlic, paprika, chill powder, salt, oil, you could tell yourself a story “The

potatoes

came alive and were swimming in

sea

and I steeped some

onion

peels in hot water to make a

tea

and

Noah

fed the animal some sweet Bavarian

mustard

and

ma

is growing

marjoram

in her garden, a

ray

of light shining on a single clove of

garlic

revealing the garlic to be the One True Seasoning that must be put into all the dishes and so the redheaded child smeared some

paprika

on his

jaw

to make it look like he was old enough to grow a beard and put

chili powder

on the

key

so that it would burn the fingers of whoever touched it and throwing

salt

in the eyes of your

foe

s to get them to leave you alone and putting fish

oil

on the constipated cat’s

paw

so it will lick it up.”

If you visualise it to yourself and try to make it as funny as possible you’ll be able to remember most of it, and then when you're at the shops you just run through the list like sea tea noah ma ray law jaw key foe paw and you’ll have it. But do it in your own language, it’s better.

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

Deadline: 279th (3²*31) day of the year or in (expired on 2015-10-06 14:00:00).

Let me know if there are any problems with the VC, or if you have maths related flavour requests.

Mod notes: Bellaphant is V/LA until the 270th. SithLord84 has (expired on 2015-09-25 09:00:00) to post or he will be replaced.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Well, he is, because the base of his vote is that I had no problem with Lala prior to her voting me.

Which I clearly did. On multiple occasions.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I don't agree that you made your position clear

. You said

As soon as she didn't vote me when she was expressing suspicion of my slot it started to ping me.

which lalala first did in 12, and even though you were arguing with her the whole time

I see no indication that you had any suspicion on her

at all until 79,

after she actually voted.

Considering that your explanation for your suspicion of her is that you found her lack of vote scummy, it really doesn't seem genuine that you'd wait until after the vote to go on the attack.

Read the bolded. He's flat out lying.

[JarJarDrinks]

Read the bolded. He's flat out lying.

Yeah, I already acknowledged that he was wrong when he said that. I don't think that's all that great of a reason.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

OK, so now that we've established that All Alone has no reason to be sitting on my wagon (a leading wagon no less), what the hell is he still doing there?

[JarJarDrinks]

OK, so now that we've established that All Alone has no reason to be sitting on my wagon (a leading wagon no less), what the hell is he still doing there?

Nobody established that. And he did answer you:

I really don't buy that you genuinely believe that "Why haven't you moved your vote?" constitutes a clear stance. That's pretty obviously not true.

[JarJarDrinks]

Like why would scum purposefully lie about something so easily verifiable?

[pirate mollie]

hey bbt which alignment do you prefer?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

That is not an answer. My questioning of why Lala hasn't moved her vote should be quite a clear indication that I am not happy with her current posting/voting. I was obviously being too subtle about it.

I can't quite believe I'm having to explain this.

PEdit - @Jar - He is misrepping me. Scum misrep all the time, they don't intend on being caught.

@Mollie - Scum. All day long.

[Hippy Love]

so it seems you are putting a bit of effort into this game. do you agree bbt?

[pirate mollie]

so it seems you are putting a bit of effort into this game. do you agree bbt?

sorry

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I am very much putting effort into this game.

Can you get to where you're going please?

[Antihero]

hi dv.

if you don't notice you have a shadow right now, you're stupid.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Deas, Jar and Mollie are all positioning themselves to vote me.

This is disgusting. Like vultures circling around a carcass.

[JarJarDrinks]

Chill BBT. I don't plan on voting for you. I'm just analyzing your scumread. And sorry but I don't think it's good enough to vote based off of. And it's not like I'm saying I think Antihero is town or anything. Just that him being wrong/misrepping/lying/whatever about you not suspecting lala isn't really that scummy.

[JarJarDrinks]

*All Alone not Antihero

[JarJarDrinks]

so it seems you are putting a bit of effort into this game. do you agree bbt?

Anything else to offer?

[JarJarDrinks]

hi dv.

if you don't notice you have a shadow right now, you're stupid.

What's this about?

[Antihero]

hey bbt which alignment do you prefer?

so it seems you are putting a bit of effort into this game. do you agree bbt?

i'm talking about the person making inroads on bbt now that dv's started pulling that thread

[pirate mollie]

can we lynch bbt now

[Antihero]

alright, dv, i'm about to start strongarming the mollie lynch and i'm wondering what type of psychological warfare works on you.

should i go with:

1) the neg. insult you and wear down your self esteem enough to where you feel like such crap that you look for a leader and find that in me.

2) the suck up. compliment you and bargain for tomorrow's lynch.

3) the psycho. threaten to fly to sydney and rub my anal secretions on your doorknobs if you don't vote mollie.

i usually go w/ a combination of 1+3, but i'm flexible. plz advise.



in the meantime i'll go ahead and get started on bbt.

hey buddy it looks like the scum hive mind is starting to migrate over to you. leave your vanity wagon and join mine or perish by the silent hand of the popularity contest.

[JarJarDrinks]

Hey Antihero. Is there a reason you've been ignoring me about DRK?

[Antihero]

yes, because if i have a read i feel like sharing i will do it. if i'm not sharing it, it's b/c it's not ripe yet.

i do not need prompting, tyvm.

[Antihero]

OMG HURRRRRRRDUUUURRRRRRRR ANTIZ SCUM WITH DRK FJ;LKDSADSAMFI;OEAS WHE DOESN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS IGNORING DODGING HARJASLKHRD;LKHDSRJSA

there i just took care of the horrible post you were about to make. i'm considerate like that.

[JarJarDrinks]

I mean you were threating to throw bowling pins at me cause I was "pooh-poohing" your garbage mollie case.

Is it the fact that I actually made points and laid out my reasoning? Would you prefer if I just told everyone they should take their heads out of their asses if they can't see DRK is scum w/o actually making a case?
