Gypsy Curse - Game Called!

[KingdomAces]

Hello everyone. So far I've proven to be pretty good at challenge based games, and pretty bad at social ones, so it stands to reason that I'll be middle of the road on this one. I hope that either way I'll allow this to remain enjoyable for everyone.

That in mind, I won't be available at the start time of the first challenge, so I want to ask whether or not it will be live.

[KingdomAces]

...and I'm already missing things. Also as usual, feel free to ignore me at will, since I'm kind of an idiot sometimes.

Also since we are on MS after all: VOTE: Nicholas1024

[KingdomAces]

Unfortunately it's not as nice as it could be since I'm on it.

Wait, I'm supposed to be avoiding self deprivation. Stopping now.

[KingdomAces]

Presumably the town we are in has a population of about 5000, so it's likely that throughout the game, they will steadily be recruited into the gypsies. There also may be a way to free them, based on the application, but for obvious reasons I can't actually be sure about anything.

[KingdomAces]

Including the one where we were at each other's throats right from the beginning?

[KingdomAces]

Before anyone asks, I don't have AIM or anything like that, so if you want to contact me the best way is by PM.

Even though this just started, I kind of need to leave now. I know I'm looking forward to this, so have fun everyone, and I hope I will too.

[KingdomAces]

I don't know how TIP is going to get dirty, and quite frankly I don't want to. I'll just be calling you "Irish" to be safe though.

And I really don't want to have to get AIM, but it's looking like if I keep playing these, then eventually I'm going to have to. Unless I just stick to Anonymous ones, which would probably be better for me.

Something about my playstyle, if you're loyal to me, I will be just as loyal to you. I also intend to not factor in past acquaintances in anything that I do during this game, so until the first challenge, I'll likely be a wild card. I'm open to anything, but I probably won't be initiating anything myself for a bit. I won't wait as long as I did in S:SP though, because I ended up just getting lucky there.

[KingdomAces]

Some actual thread discussion would be nice. It's kind of lonely here.

[KingdomAces]

I wouldn't appreciate it...

[KingdomAces]

Why are you all so heartless?

[KingdomAces]

Massive over-analysis of the most minute things time!

Okay, so there's three choices, with no given advantages or disadvantages to any of them, so in the long run this looks like it won't matter all that much. Since we have been given barely anything about the locations, we need to factor in what has been given about them. To me, the most notable difference is in the tone of the descriptions. For the Bar and the Restaurant, the descriptions sound overly eager, overemphasizing the possible benefits of going to that location, and end with an exclamation point, where the one for the Hospital sounds dubious like even this excitable person would be unsure why we would actually want to go there, marking a stark contrast from the other two. Normally this would make me want to go there more, since the person telling us these things is named Gypsy, and therefore would specifically trying to trick us into not going where they don't want us to be, but factoring in what Xalxe said, it makes it sound like there is two places where we will want to go eventually and specifically one that would be bad to go to. That would imply that the one that is different would specifically be the bad option, therefore we should avoid the Hospital at all costs.

Between the Bar and the Restaurant, I don't think it really matters which one we explore first, if we are in fact going to be exploring everywhere. It is explicitly stated that the Restaurant is abandoned, so even though it may have been looted, it's not like the alcohol from the bar would be any more filling. The fact that it was looted though means that the Gypsies were there at one point, so they may have accidentally dropped something worthy of note in their efforts. While similar things can be said of the bar, from the sound of it if we go there half of us will be too drunk to search properly, so as it stands my vote is for the Restaurant.

[KingdomAces]

I don't know what that means?

[KingdomAces]

Now I feel kind of stupid.

And no, I only do stuff like that for things that interest me, which in general does not include literature.

And Xalxe, are you claiming Gypsy?

[KingdomAces]

Okay, maybe we shouldn't be listening to Xalxe then...

[KingdomAces]

...

Though I may have been over-analyzing, I still think that we probably shouldn't be going to the hospital. If things end up going horribly horribly wrong, don't say I didn't warn you.

[KingdomAces]

Looking at the playerlist right now is scaring me.

[KingdomAces]

So close to a perfect score. Why do I have to be so passive?

Also, I'm not mutinying with either choice, so good luck getting the rest of a majority.

[KingdomAces]

{KingdomAces} mutinies against {Xalxe}'s mutiny!

On the other hand, I do not mutiny against Xofelf.

[KingdomAces]

Good luck everyone. Also, be glad that you have to compete for the not lowest score, and not the highest score.

That's all I'm going to say for now.

[KingdomAces]

I was pretty good at this game before it was a challenge, and when it was one I practiced even more. As I said earlier, be glad that you only had to not get the lowest score.

[KingdomAces]

Some discussion here would be nice, but all I have to add is that I do NOT want any rings, and I don't particularly care who gets mine.

[KingdomAces]

Seeing as in the end there's only going to be one winner, I don't see any benefit in bringing anyone back, so for those who are still alive it would probably be best to bring back an inactive. Cybele and Mastermind are the only two who haven't posted in the topic yet, but Cybele has posted elsewhere more recently than Mastermind mas.

Of course, this is assuming that the gypsies are going to force us to take someone. If possible, I think it would be better not to in general, since reviving someone is pretty much flat out playing against your win condition.

If you don't want to go down this route, then I have no opinions.

[KingdomAces]

...I can't read. Ignore me.

[KingdomAces]

It could be much worse, trust me.

[KingdomAces]

It's 10 minutes apart. As long as you have an alarm, only 1/5th of that at maximum would be wasted.

[KingdomAces]

Suggest: Three 2s.

[KingdomAces]

Suggest: Three 4s

[KingdomAces]

So literally the only thing I could have said was four 3's, despite the overwhelming odds that that's not going to happen?

I hate this game sometimes.

[KingdomAces]

Suggest: Two 6s

[KingdomAces]

Did I mention that I hate this game sometimes?

[KingdomAces]

Come on Blastoide, save us!

I totally wouldn't have just split at this point to save myself. Nope.

[KingdomAces]

I think you guys are forgetting who the

real

puzzle master is here.

Execpt for the fact that I've never heard of Rumble before. Looking up the rules now.

[KingdomAces]

Yes, that was an /in also.

[KingdomAces]

Still here.

[KingdomAces]

Are we allowed to communicate privately for this challenge?

[KingdomAces]

Is the entire game over now, no more flavor or anything?

Also, what were the revealed abilities?

[KingdomAces]

It's fine, it just seemed a bit anti-climactic compared to the rest of the game.

So D3f and TIP had nothing in terms of abilites?
