Reminds me of myself a good portion of the time(mental issues, IRL, etc).

That aside, wanted to say it's good to hear you're getting better finally......I hope by the time next game comes you will be back up to full strength and able to spend some more time with all of us once more :)

I am curious as well why Maxleod picked the seemingly 'shouting' "i'm so liberal" so much in this game instead of someone else. Perhaps to test them? We shall see in time, I suppose.

Phew, I thought it was the regular "as big on the inside as it should be" loo o.0 ;D

I could have have chosen Joe or Pooka or BTG or GR but scene was my first choice. Also everybody was unhappy with the pace of the game and no amount of discussion would have had any kind on influence on me, so I just went for it.

Now, I intend, if possible, to have an L policy ebacted, if I get FFL I'll give him FL, if FLL i'l give him LL. Thoughts on that?

Might I ask why scene was your first choice?
(apologies if you already answered this. If you did, just point to the post number and i'll go read it there)

(underlining mine)
You mean for this choice or any choice/etc in general?

Well we're pretty far ahead with 3 L policies passed, and we do want to test players(i'd especially like to see scene tested), so i'd suggest passing FL......unless you somehow get LLL, of course.

The answers to your question are in your questions...

I asked "any thoughts" so it was only for this choice.

scene because he's been suspected from the beginning ("I don't vote to vote in scene just because", post 589, your words not mine): https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_game_inviteonlyall_can_watch_sh_4_herlock_sholmes_edition/post589

If I'm counting correctly the official state of the deck is 3F/2L. The most likely outcome would be to have FFL but obviously fascists would have the ability to "safely" claim they pulled all three Fs (which has like 10% chance of happening). Thinking of this I just realized after this draw we will end up with only 2 cards in the active deck. What happens then? Does the next government use only those 2? Or does the deck get reset? If it's the latter what do we even do from then on considering we may not be able to see the full picture?

"If there are fewer than three tiles remaining in in the Policy Deck at the end of a Legislative Session, shuffle them with the Discard pile to create a new Policy Deck. Unsused Policy tiles should never be revealed, and they should not be simply placed on top of the new Policy deck."

From the game rules that I actually read. Even got it printed on paper because I hate to read on a screen.

See Dedo? I AM paying attention.

Yay!

K/noted

Actually, by "in part, just cuz" I meant I was thinking (albeit semi seriously, etc) of voting nein/no for scene due to some of his prior posts/stances(like previously not wanting to vote jah/yes for govvts he wasn't a part of). Beyond that, my gut slightly suspected/suspects him somewhat.

That said, I cast my vote, and will wait and see if I made the right call.

Hmmm, I see ZFR and dedo passed a L. That's decent. That should be the 4th L accounted for so far?
I see there's a government nomination in place, so I will get cracking on voting.

So they say.

Sorry for the delay everyone, but I did want to just throw out some bullet points that I have taken note of so everyone has an Idea I am coming from in the game so far. Admittedly none of these are very thorough but I want people to know my thoughts so they could debate them if they feel needed to do so.

Joppo: Part of only F passing Govt so far. Either truly pulled 3 FFFs or lied about his policy pull

Pooka: Passed L Policy

Dedo: passed L policy, claimed lib per investigation from joppo

ZFR: passed L policy

GR: Suggested to ZFR to nominate a quieter player as chancellor when we have already been on a roll with L passing govts through the more active players. Voted no in the Pooka-Joe govt on the assumption it would easily pass anyway.

Scene: Uses calimed prior knowlegde of the game to dictate what actions Liberal players should take. nominated as chancellor by F passing Max with no prior discussion.

Joe: Passed L policy

Cadaver: Limited interaction in the game, has voted yes in every election.

Max: Part of only F passing Govt so far. If lied about his policy options Joppo covered for him


I have already placed my vote for the upcoming election, with max's prior govt record so far and his rapid selection of scene I feel more comfortable giving this a Nein.

hi everybody, sorry I went away again without telling anybody, I was expecting to come home in between adventures, but you know how it is with in-between-adventures.



Hm. I was going to say what I think but actually maybe it is better just to vote in secret, then once we see what everybody does, try and work out what it means.

Also you've probably all done that anyway so what's the point in me even talking?

Your voice is lovely. Your writing even more so.

OMGSTOOOOPPP
