My victory condition is a liberal one. So 5 people might share it with me if they live that long.

But contrary to that, in the event that Zeo never turns up again you and 8 people will lose. It's an unfortunate clause, but it's all we've got.

Umm, zeo's fine actually. But then again, if Zeo never turned up again, we've got worse to worry about than a game of Secret Hitler left unfinished.

Eh, if Zeo goes missing for a week, I guess I can go reread the rules, check his posts, and make stuff up until everyone gets tired of it and leaves.

Ah yeah. We'll have to work out who's going to host the games in the future. I didn't think about that...

We can work with that.

Sorry about that. I was actually waiting for RT's vote, but it looks like it came in a couple days ago and GOG just wasn't showing it.

The votes are in! The results are as follows.
A unanimous vote! Everybody has voted no!

The government is not approved!
The current president is ZFR, who must pick a chancellor. The chancellor cannot be Lifthrasil. If the next government is not approved, the top card of the policy deck will automatically be enacted, and both ZFR and Lifthrasil will be able to be selected as chancellor again.

Ah, crap. I hoped maybe a single person would take the bait.


But Joe, even you voted NO?

Is it because Pooka is Hitler? Could it be?
Did you actually bring Hitler to our attention back then as a bluff???

Or are you just resigned?

...

...

*sigh* I still think Pooka is our safest non-Hitler bet.

I select Pooka Mustard as my Chancellor

CURRENT PROPOSED GOVERNMENT
President: Zenefredi F. Rapoposculous, the Great (ZFR)
Chancellor: Grimsby "The Pooka" Mustard (PookaMustard)

Please PM me your yes/no votes on whether you wish for this setup or not. There must be a majority "yes" for this to pass.

What? What was your bait?

I thought the only chance that my government had of getting voted in was if trent was hitler and the fascist took a mad gamble. It wasn't just pointless for me to vote yes it was dangerous.

Why did you get Pooka being hitler from me voting No?



How come when flub does it he gets scathing sarcasm, but then you go and do the same thing yourself?

Basing your most-likely-non-hitler choice purely on the fact that you don't see why lifthrasil would pass an L policy as a fascist and that you don't think I would distrust you and try to call for people not to vote you is idiotic.

I'm probably harming my case simply by being the one making it, but I can't imagine anybody's going to say anything other than "cool ZFR you're a really good guy let's do whatever you say."





hm.

Of the 10% chance that I am liberal, how much of that is chance that ZFR is fascist? 5%? I guess it would be fair to say 4% as he had a 4-in-10 chance of being cast liberal at the start of the game.

so, BY YOUR OWN VERY CAREFULLY CONSIDERED MATHEMATICS, we have a one-in-twenty-five chance of losing the game now.

compare that to the one-in-nine chance of us winning the game now if we skip ZFR and draw a card at random.

If the whole thing is lost because I didn't listen to blotunga, and said I want to give pooka a chance in government because it was his first game, then I will have MORE regrets than I already do.

Ominous.

That was an awful quick nomination. I would have liked some discussion about who is least likely Hitler. So please, explain why you selected Pooka. And why you did so so quickly.

Don't listen to lifthrasil! That fascist scumbag.





Oh wait. No, do.


...

Which means we SHOULDN'T listen to ZFR's explaination for selecting pooka?


what's your thought's here lifthrasil ol' buddy? You don't think ZFR's got good enough reason for making his choice? Are you suspicious of ZFR's allegiances?

He already explained and outlined why he chose me as chancellor before Flub nominated blotunga. He was also proposing to skip the governments until it got back to him. Still, your point stands that there wasn't much talking about why me.
