Man oh man. I'm still alive. But this is really messing with my nerves...

Why do you deserve to stay in the game?

I've been very committed to this game; in fact, since October when the game started, I've checked this thread every day. I don't think Hydrad can say the same. But never mind that. When it gets to the endgame you don't keep people on whether or not they deserve to stay in. You take the people you can beat in the end.

Hydrad is quite a lot more likable than me. The jury likes him. Moreover, I backstabbed those who are now on the jury. Also, since I'm new to the forums, I'm not really that close with anyone. On the other hand, Hydrad's already got Iguana's jury vote.

Hydrad: You're a cool dude. I really did like playing with you. I wasn't just saying nice things because I wanted you on my side. If you make it to the end, you have my vote for sure.

Not only is Hydrad's social game strong, mine is also exceptionally poor. I've hardly ever talked in my private QT's about anything besides strategy. I didn't respond to QT's if I didn't see the need to. If I get to the final 2, I'll likely be questioned about my poor social skills. In Survivor, the winner is the one who "outwits, outplays, and outlasts" everyone else. And I certainly haven't been doing any "outplaying." If you want, you can see my feeble attempts at Mafia(M84, RMM 33, M83). I got lynched day one twice out of three games because I've been socially awkward.

My record is also not spotless with the jury. I backstabbed Robz. I backstabbed Iguana. I backstabbed gkrieg (even though he was also going for me, but Eevee and I made plans to get him at F5 a few game phases before we actually did it.) When I voted against mcmc and Awaclus it wasn't really backstabbing, but I did have an alliance with them both before deciding to let them go. I also lied so much that I don't know if I could list all my lies here. But most notably I lied about not having the idol (which I used at the F11 tribal council) and I lied about voting for Adam when I actually didn't.

So in the end, when you've got someone likable enough who's played a passive game, against someone who lied and backstabbed his way to the finish line, there's no doubt about who will win. That's how Kelly Wiglesworth lost. That's how Sash lost. That's how Coach lost. That's how Spencer lost (man, I was rooting for Spencer). That's how Tai lost. That's how Russell lost, twice. And that's how I'm gonna lose. If you're in the final 2 with me, you're almost guaranteed a win. I don't think you have quite the same chances with Hydrad.

No matter what happens, I had a great time playing with you guys. Thanks for giving me a warm welcome to F.DS.

You've both played an impressive game, whichever way this goes. I'm not switching my vote though, I'm sorry teamlyle. I'm willing to take my chances against Hydrad in the end if I can.

Gl in the challenge Hydrad, whatever it is.

teamlyle · « **Reply #1152 on:** August 25, 2016, 09:50:20 am »

I have no hard feelings.

By the way Watno. Please don't switch your vote. Hydrad is one of Eevee's minions. He is honorable so he will take Eevee if he wins the F3 immunity. If I win F3 immunity, I'm taking you. Eevee and I have both played cutthroat and Eevee is a lot more likable than me, so it would make sense for me to take you.

Eevee · « **Reply #1153 on:** August 25, 2016, 10:38:47 am »

Same about no hard feelings. We had a fun ride in this game, even if we ended up as opponents here.

Was it your or watno's idea to bluff to Hydrad that you are changing your vote to me? Very clever, you got me completely. I was 100% playing the idol on Hydrad until that.

teamlyle · « **Reply #1154 on:** August 25, 2016, 11:41:47 am »

Me and Watno were planning to vote for you, until we learned you could use your idol at F4.

I'm looking forward to see how this plays out!

Watno · « **Reply #1155 on:** August 25, 2016, 04:35:58 pm »

Well, I deliberately didn't tell Hydrad the plan to vote out Eevee was off when I fouhnd out the idol still works.

Not changing my vote either, challenges are cool.

Hydrad · « **Reply #1156 on:** August 25, 2016, 07:49:45 pm »

So if I had just kept quiet I would be in a much better spot. dang it. ah well. Guess we will see and hope that I can come out on top in the challenge.

This is really going to be a game deciding challenge though. no pressure...

AHoppy · « **Reply #1157 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:38:03 pm »

Alright, let's get to the revote:

Aaaaaand it looks like it's still a tie (surprise surprise)

So let's get to "firemaking". Since this is the Dominion Strategy Forum (if you forgot, just scroll up) we're going to do something essential to survive around this place:
Play Dominon

You guys can decide how many sets you use, point counters on, first player decided randomly by the client, afterwards alternate starting player. First person to win 3 games gets to stick around another day. The other, sorry, your torch is going to bite the dust.

You have until Monday to get this done.

teamlyle · « **Reply #1158 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:44:01 pm »

Do ties count as 0.5-0.5 or do they just count as "not a win" for both of us?

AHoppy · « **Reply #1159 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:46:05 pm »

It's the same difference right? If you have to get 3 points and you're getting there using half points you'll both have the same number of half points.

Long story short, it's not a win

teamlyle · « **Reply #1160 on:** August 25, 2016, 09:35:13 pm »

Okay.

Hydrad, when can you play? I am free from 9 AM to 9 PM both today and tomorrow. I'm going to be out of town on Sunday and Monday.

P.S. Do you prefer point counters on or off? Do you have any sets other than the base set? I don't.

Eevee · « **Reply #1161 on:** August 25, 2016, 09:37:12 pm »

Wowww, crazy how that worked out then. I was thinking are you telling Hydrad hoping to avoid the tie, or are you telling him hoping he'd tell me so you could vote him out.. I was going crazy deciding which of us to play the idol for. I didn't even consider that could have happened. Dangit!

Does goko (or whatever it's called these days) allow spectating games? If it does, can you let us know when you are playing?

I don't remember at all how much ~~firemaking~~ dominionplaying you've both practiced, no idea who is the favorite here!

Eevee · « **Reply #1162 on:** August 25, 2016, 09:48:55 pm »

Btw kudos to the challenge creators, went and bought coup after the challenge and have already gotten so much (amazing) playing out of it. The same thing happened with Codenames (which we still play a lot), so yay for cool challenges.

Actually Love Letter too, but that was maybe a previous game? Not sure, but whoever is introducing these games to me, you are pretty great.

Hydrad · « **Reply #1163 on:** August 26, 2016, 01:47:16 am »

oh boy. I think my dominion is rusty... teamlyle please tell me your bad at dominion

.

anyways turns out i guess i have all expansions except adventures so thats kinda nice.

I'm fine with point counters on or off.

uh tomorrow... as in friday. I doubt I can make it as i'm working most of the day. But I think on saturday I should be good. I'm done around 5PM my time... now I have to remeber what that is forum time...

Hydrad · « **Reply #1164 on:** August 26, 2016, 01:48:15 am »

hmm so I posted that at 11:45pm so its 2 hours faster then me.

so a bit after 7pm saturday I should be ok? maybe closer to 7:30pm incase I get held up.

Hydrad · « **Reply #1165 on:** August 26, 2016, 01:50:52 am »

dang it i looked you up on gokosalvager and you are good! shoot. well hopefully we can have good games

You mean 7:30 forum time?

Watno · « **Reply #1167 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:01:50 am »

This forum supports automatic time conversion.
Use

Code: [Select]

[time]Tomorrow, 8 pm[/time], where the time you enter is the time the forum displays for you which you can edit in your profile. This will show up for everyoen in the time zone the forum shows for him.
For example, if I do it, it looks like this:

Eevee · « **Reply #1168 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:38:07 am »

Does anyone know if it's possible to spectate the match somehow?

AdamH · « **Reply #1169 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:44:11 am »

One or both of them could stream the match.

Or one or both of them would have to share their screen. If they decide on a time for the match and I can be there (or if someone else wants to do this) then I can do commentary, or just stream it on their behalf without commentary if that's preferred.

teamlyle · « **Reply #1170 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:53:02 am »

Wouldn't that be a huge disadvantage for the person who's sharing the screen? Because then you can see the other guy's hand

Eevee · « **Reply #1171 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:54:03 am »

Well no peeking of course!

Edit: But no pressure to jump through any of these hoops. I somehow had an inkling that there might be a spectator mode in the software, but seems I was mistaken.

AdamH · « **Reply #1172 on:** August 26, 2016, 10:55:25 am »

I can stream it on a delay if that makes you comfortable. OTOH, I have streamed high-level competitive matches with no delay before and haven't have issues with it, I would trust both of you not to peek if it was my game on the line.

If you stream it on a delay, it's harder to interact with chat but that's probably for the best anyways.

teamlyle · « **Reply #1173 on:** August 26, 2016, 11:13:38 am »

It would probably make me nervous if we streamed

Hydrad · « **Reply #1174 on:** August 26, 2016, 12:43:35 pm »

yes 7:30 forum time.

and if we wanted I might be able to stream. but thats up to teamlyle if he wants me to do it.
