Brainpipe - A Plunge to Unhumanity
Twin Sector
Greed: Black Border

plus, the next person to properly guess the magic number I'm thinking of gets a copy of Syndicate *note, Origin activation required. 

I'll take a copy Dungeon Defenders.

My team is currently still number one after soundly thumping Auburn.  We have a bye next week and then we take on msduncan's Bama for what should be the BCS title, but unfortunately, because one team will lose, teams less deserving will be able to get to the BCS championship to play for the actual title.  I've been an LSU fan all my life and have seen a lot of teams over that time.  This year's team has been pretty amazing in that we usually like to try to lose the game near the end of it.  Even our recent 2003 and 2007 BCS Champion teams weren't putting the hurt on other SEC teams like we've done this year. Anyway, Geaux Tigers!

and my team is currently ranked #2. It should be an epic battle. Glad it's in T-town this year. Roll Tide!

my wife and daughter love these movies. They've already bought advance tickets for the midnight showing tonight. As for me, I watched the first one on DVD and thought it was alright as it was a better Blair Witch type movie than Blair Witch.

I'll probably drop streaming due to the lack of new movies. I may cancel it all and use the local rental boxes but not enthused about that option. I'd love for on-demand to be cheaper but at $5 a movie then Netflix is the better deal. I really miss my local video stores.

Often thought now would be the time for the local mom and pop video store to make a come back. All the huge corps are going out of business and there is a demand for this service from a lot who have no internet access (poor and many seniors).

A family rented a local Movie gallery after it closed and renamed it Family Video. It stays very busy but it's a bit out of my way.

I'm here and ok.  All of my family members that live here are ok.  Day 3 without power in Huntsville.  This is the first time I've gotten to use my cell to get online to post anything...  Verizon finally got back up.  I know some gas stations are open throughout all of north Alabama but with 2-3 hour wait lines!  I've heard we got emergency crews from all surrounding states.  Huntsville and Crestwood hospital both have power.  I work for Huntsville Utilities and we've been here for the last 2 days trying to do whatever we can.  I work for the Gas dept so not much I can do.  I know our electric guys are running constant rotating 12 hours shifts!  Don't know about other counties, but there's a dusk till dawn curfue in Madison county.  I finally got to access some news about the damage in other counties on my phone this morning.  I'll try to get back on here later and update anything if needed.
wow, a fellow Huntsvillian. We got our power back Sunday night in Hazel Green. Thanks for the hard work. Been out helping friends cut up trees. Kids finally went back to school today but Marshall Space Flight Center still doesn't have all it's power so I'm off one more day.

The debate is not over which film sucked giant horse dongs, but which did a better job of it.  One film merely went through the motions while the other went so far as to cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the head, and swallow the gravy.     

but was it the real gravy or that fake gravy?

My one successful scan and he's suicidal...I thought my scanner may have been putting out too much radiation causing him to be suicidal.

Yea Travellers!

And yes, when everyone has a role it makes it hard on the bad guys. One way of handling it might have been insert a bad guy in each group and not have a bad group. And once someone cans them as teammate it would then require an extra scan to determine if they are good guy or bad guy teammate.

A actor in lost, also played the Lawn Mower man in the movie, he has piercing eyes, and he was not an original lostie, there can be only one that fits this description and it is not Richard.

ah, that makes sense.

The way this game is set up, there are 4 teams.  One has a nite kill and less members.  Theres not much else to go on besides that.  There is no way to expose an instigator built into the game, except through his death.  I keep hearing find the killers!!!!  My question is how?  I guess we can look at the quiet ones because it seems there is safety in silence.  The way Newcastle was trying to goad me into giving up what scant information I had and thus expose even more non instigators made me believe he was a smokie.  So it seems that forum info is too easily misinterpreted.  Since we cant really trust the info on the forums because there is no real way to substantiate most of it, Im very un clear as to how we are supposed to smoke out the bad guys.  We can of course pick a single scan target as a group and then compare notes to try and nail an instigator but even then we are going to be dealing with  misinformation.  Really the single target scan is all Ive got as an answer,  if anyone else has a solution, chime in and let us know.

everyone should have a list of teammates or not teammates. Others have published their list and we have voting record. Everyone can start analyzing that now and place a vote where they think a baddie is hiding. Enough will either do the same or go in another direction. Just have to see what happens.

Wow, I was sure the Newcastle was a monster. Hmm. The baddies are doing a really good job of hiding themselves and preventing people from working together.

I suggest that starting tomorrow we ask everyone not to vote until we can discuss how best to share our information. We can't keep this rate of killing each off like this.
I agree because we are starting to gather some info to work with now.

Newcastle followed my Lassr vote rather quickly on Day One so I scanned him and he isn't on my team. Maybe hes a monster? I don't know but I'll vote for him.

Newcastle

good chance we have a smokie then. I thought you 2 may be teammates the way you teamed up on me.

Not a teammate for me either. Newcastle

In an effort to find the smokies though (since we know we haven't even hit one yet), and in support of our most recently deceased, one thing we could do (only if *ALL* of us do it) is to scan Newcastle, and all reveal our findings.



Another option: Why don't we all just reveal our team name now. A few of us will have to lie. Then when an instigator lies about being on another team they'll eventually get caught when someone on that team scans to verify.

It would work but would it ruin the game?

There would be no way to verify that someone is telling the truth or not.  Say for example, I claim to be from team Traveler and I wasn't.  How is someone from that team who scans and knows I'm lying going to prove it?  There is no way to do so.

damn quotes:

they'd have to announce it. I'm on team traveler and he is not. Then everyone would have to decide who to believe or just lynch them both.  Same with what purge recommended, if we all announce our findings of Newcastle then a few will have to reveal their team putting them at a disadvantage.

I know we're supposed to eliminate all other teams as well as the bad guys but I can't bring myself to lynch a "good" team member just yet. I think we should be looking for bad guys now or else the odds strongly start heading in their favour.

Which is apparently what everyone else has not figured out, yet.  If the killers are not taken out, pronto, this could easily wind up being killers vs whomever is left from whatever team, which means the killers get their win.

To be honest, this game is designed to pit every team against every other team. There is no real reason to avoid killing even other "good" teams because we have to kill them in the end anyway. With the scans only telling us if someone is on our team we don't have much info to go on.

exactly. All I know is if someone is not on my team. If they are not on my team then there is at least a chance they are on the instigators team.

Since I am at N-2 and probably will die anyway due to the GT BulletTrain Lynch-mode... let's get this out of the way.

I am a Departee.  Don't know about ScubaV, but the following are definitely not - which makes them potential killers.  rickfc via scan, Moliere, Lassr and rshetts2 by their own scans.

So I would suggest you all start knocking off the killers at some point.

helpful info. I'm not an instigator nor am I a departee. My one successful scan was Ceekay and he committed suicide.

I don't know what team you are on, just most likely not mine (I have my reasons to suspect you are not on my team). If I go off lynching blind then I may hit my team.
