[Fuzzy Fungi]

I know my codeword. Someone else says what number they're on and I can see what their letter is. It matches my own for that single letter at that single position so I make a guess.

How do you know the position of their code letter?

Someone says what number this vest is at. Vest number corresponds to code letter position.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

by vest number I mean points. Whatever the appropriate terminology is. I'm on my way to bed.

[Uselesstwit]

and how does explaining this in the open help town fuzzy? if it's true let scum figure it out on their own.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

I'm explaining it because charlou asked.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

Also it was explicitly stated that scum know more about the codewords than we do. My assumption is that if this is true they already know this.

[divagreen]

Well mine changed, no surprise there, since Fuzzy voted for me for no good reason.

I don't get the "some codewords were repeats". That does not even make sense.

"ohno I can't keep up" always looks scummy to me

I mean I think some people have the same codewords. Obviously I can't tell for sure based on one letter and number but I see at least two that might match mine. I don't know if that's significant or not.

I could not get a post in, every time I hit submit there was a pause as I was forced to review what others had said while I was making my post. I am not complaining about the feature, but that is what I meant.

Yes, but it's different for each player, or that's what I was assuming from the information given. Some letters may be in the same position on different codewords, though, so the number would coincide.

Feck, why did you not take your vote off of Charlou?

What's your theory on who would have the same codewords and why, then? I just don't think that seems plausible but am open to consider any ideas.

hi guys, I have to catch up on 27 odd pages, I'll be back

edit: this site is crashing for me today, not sure why

I can see this is an issue for people not used to it. Praying's expressed frustration with it last game and this one. This game's posting pace has been greater so it will affect posters more.

[charlou]

Hi irre .. sorry Athene's opted out, but I'm glad you got an opportunity to play.

[divagreen]

And should we be telling each other how many points we're on anyway? I mean, if scum are hunting for our passcodes, we could be delivering them a little too easily, doncha think?

Crosspost - Only UT voted for me yesterday, and seeing as we all started with one point on the vest, I added 1+1 and got 2.

I would assume that scum knows how many points they put on our vests, since they are the ones that have to put in the order to have them put on there?

[Bolero]

So is our strategy today to start putting pressure on each other? And are we going with a more even vote distribution than your classic game? If those are not the strategies which have been suggested, please correct me.

vote fuzzy

as per the above-stated strategy.

Also, UT - you claim you lost points last night? That makes me hopeful - it means at least one person has point-removal privileges at night, and that they can remove at least 2 points (the amount of votes you had).

[charlou]

Feck, why did you not take your vote off of Charlou?

I now understand why, but he can answer this.
