Good choice btw. It seems to be pretty resistant to cracking.

[BigBadBagsworth He/him/his]

That was my goal. It has 3 unique letters

So, back to SE. We’re thinking we flip Striker, then if that doesn’t work, flip spirit?

Yeah. We basically have to converge by this point - too many bad sidetrain shenanigan problems for which I partially accept responsibility. I didn't want to admit it because it was embarrassing but I missed Striker's switch on D2 because I paranoided about a Polly/RBM E/E world and then...got distracted by a WWE clip hyping yesterday's match and by the time I came back, stuff was over. I don't wanna reping TOW to vote, so we'll see the situation later. There are probably three main cases here:

A. Striker flips Elim, the game ends.
B. Striker flips Villager. We then need to worry about 1-2 mafs.
C. Striker flips Elim, the game doesn't end.

Worlds B and C are similar somewhat in treatment in that I'm not sure Polly and TUN should be revised off the bat. So that's a fancy way of saying "yeah Spirit but I'll probably look at all the votes regardless to do my best." 

This ignores the Mercy shot but anyway the Mercy shot just prolongs it so we just rinse and repeat. Eat, sleep, vote Striker  

Anyway from Striker's behaviour, it's possible it's a three-player team. That's prima facie fine because a typical all-regular 15 game has 3 Elims, and this one has the Mercy and 16 isn't that far off. I just don't believe we should assume a 3-world because a 4-world is possible and it's better to be overprepared (and then we laugh at ourselves) than underprepared/underestimate this team.

I'm leaving some guesses for someone else. I'll try again if there's more left when I'm back.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Okay @BigBadBagsworth I’m gonna vote T for real now that I’ve read the next page

@Kasimir and then I suppose I’m after spirit for flipping?

Based off my current credences, probably, but I don't really feel that's a likely world and don't want to put too much energy into it until/unless the game doesn't end when both Striker and Spirit flip.

Go back to Village!Striker - if he is, what are TJ's teammates doing? If it wasn't for Striker bailing TJ out C2, does this mean they kind of just accept a TJ flip is gonna happen? (You could argue it was me but I was already on RBM so my vote was effectively 'locked' - TJ needed one more to be saved.)

There's probably an argument that if Spirit flips V, and the game still hasn't ended, I should just redo my entire set of reads, in which case the only one I'm likely to strongly preserve is Polly, followed by maybe TUN. I could be talked into seeing TOW as Elim but if we're taking the direct approach, that D1 vote on TJ put TJ into trouble and needed a Soothe. You could say it was distancing, and to some extent, if Striker flipped V (specifically in this world), we are probably looking for something unexpected that happened so that might be one revision point.

Edited to add:

Either way, prioritisation and all that. I'm not minded to open avenues at the moment when we still have to follow the basic order of operations so as to speak.

EDIT: I wonder what could be causing everyone to vote so early…..

[Through the Living Hopper He/Him]

Sorry that I didn't respond. I wanted a little time to make a decision, but then I wasn't able to respond. Striker definitely.

I felt like he gave kind of Rashek vibes: "You'll see when I'm gone"

So, I just finished watching season 2 of Arcane today. That was really good. Anyone else seen it? It took me and my wife a hot minute to get back around to it, but we just binge watched basically all of season 2 today and it was awesome.

No but WWE Monday Night Raw continues to make me unhappy

Love what Karrion Kross is doing, Seth Rollins's thing with CM Punk is great but it has been 84 years and we're still doing Jey v GUNTHER and I'm already so over it  Feud is supposed to make them both look good, not as exciting as soggy toilet paper.

You're the one who designed a ruleset to keep Kas alive for as long as possible.

If you can't bring Kas to the spec doc, Kas will bring the spec doc to him.

Edited to add:

However I'll accept Jo's making chairshots my thing just as he had the defenestration thing previously. 

Edited to add 2:

Case in point.

Spoiler

I'm gonna pre-emptively say TUN probably calls Cesaro for The Bald Brandon (bottom left.)

Smh, I expected a 'sorry I don't know'. Wdymean you know enough about killing green to give advice???? smh :P. 

You challenged me to show I know how to kill green. Was the chairshot to the Demon enough for you?

Demon Balor meant nothing to me anyway

35 minutes left of this turn. Everyone has already voted. Nice. If anyone is planning on changing their vote at the last minute, I would appreciate the forewarning in your GM private message.
