10/19 Deadline Haunt Qualifying

[11pecans non fan]

Week 7 (10/19 haunt deadline) :boo: requirements

To be eligible to haunt in week 7 the ghosts must successfully double :boo: all 5 remaining players after tomorrow's haunt (or 5 out of 6 if the ghosts pass).

No single ghost may be responsible for more than one of these :boo:s.

A double :boo: is simply two :boo:s by two different ghosts, immediately following a post by a player.

Subsequent :boo:s after the first double :boo: for any student don't mean anything and won't help or hurt you.

You may not :boo: someone after a collect me post. :boo:ing after a collect me post will render that student uncollectable.

For these purposes you may :boo: a player all the way up to and including the post of their death scene. They become un:boo:able once they enter the ghost forum (which they may choose to do before they post their death scene if I have revealed their status).

These requirements go into effect after the status of the student that you haunt is known, you formally pass, or your deadline passes. Once the students complete their second lynching of the week or decide to pass the :boo: period ends and I will announce whether or not you are eligible.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Any thoughts?

Do we have enough active people to just start grabbing double boos?

Any thoughts?

you do realize we need to wait until after we haunt right?

[11pecans non fan]

I got a single boo on PK, anyone want to finish getting him?

[11pecans non fan]

you do realize we need to wait until after we haunt right?
Are you sure, I thought it starts after the ID of the executed is known?

[11pecans non fan]

Nevermind. I'm so stupid.

[notmyfriends]

nope, haunt not execute

[11pecans non fan]

Gotcha. Well, the game thread has an example of how to get someone. TF and myself would have got PK had the qualifying actually began.

[PSU2002]

still waiting on confirmation of whether or not that counts as a death scene. if it does then we will be ready to collect.

[kiwi]

He's here. I'm assuming that's a death scene.

[PSU2002]

y ame too. so time to get some collection done...now if only the students would show up. we know Macro won't be around. that really leaves 1 IS and 3 EC out there. most are going to be pretty quiet.

[MrsFrog]

ugh, I bood, then EC2 blocked the double!!!!

[11pecans non fan]

Interesting.

harvma posted, one minute later Frog boos, one minute later EC2 shows up. Based on the language, isn't harvma a good candidate for EC2?

[kiwi]

MrsFrog got harvma, but EC2W blocked.

[CindyLou Who]

Interesting.

harvma posted, one minute later Frog boos, one minute later EC2 shows up.

I noticed that, too. What's up with that, especially with the caption on the picture.

[Pirate Kitty]

I think we should post the "please entertain us" message again. That should increase activity and help us qualify.

[CindyLou Who]

Is anyone else going to be around tonight in case Macroman posts? I think I can be here after 8 or 9 Central to be one of the boo-ers.

[Pirate Kitty]

I will be around late. If I'm done sulking, I'll be on hand to boo.

[kiwi]

I will be around late. If I'm done sulking, I'll be on hand to boo.
Awwww, poor baby.

[kiwi]

I probably won't be around tonight. But I will likely be on tomorrow during the day.

[CindyLou Who]

I will be around late. If I'm done sulking, I'll be on hand to boo.

Peh! You made it to the last 6!

[Radioactive Superstar]

I think we should post the "please entertain us" message again. That should increase activity and help us qualify.

that would serve a game-related purpose and it is not approved code, so I'd personally feel that's out of bounds.

[Pirate Kitty]

Awwww, poor baby.

:rant:
I'm still a bit annoyed at the moment, but I guess I am basically going to take it as a compliment that you all think I as EC1 would fabricate a bunch of PMs to Kohl and step up to redirect attention to EC1 when everyone was happily going after EC2. And that this is somehow more likely than hotdime fibbing about her home computer access, or dlwktb pretending -- is there any reason at all he can't be EC1? :shrug:

Anyway, EC knows that the ghosts will never let me live to the end of an EC game. They were right about you. :toast:

OK, I'm done.

[PSU2002]

that would serve a game-related purpose and it is not approved code, so I'd personally feel that's out of bounds.

ya, we got scolded by AA last time.

[Pirate Kitty]

How exactly is this different than the last time it was posted?

[Pirate Kitty]

ya, we got scolded by AA last time.

Ahh, OK.

[Radioactive Superstar]

How exactly is this different than the last time it was posted?

last time, it was pure entertainment. We were done collecting. We weren't asking for posts for any strategic purposes.

[Radioactive Superstar]

what she said. CindyLou and I have been cross-posting a lot while Linus was off being alive.

[Pirate Kitty]

How about more of the lolcat "I iz board" pictures?

[PSU2002]

ya, that stuff. i was thinking of the ghost message that said discuss.

[CindyLou Who]

what she said. CindyLou and I have been cross-posting a lot while Linus was off being alive.

Sorry RS. I deleted that post you just referenced thinking I was remembering wrong.

Does that mean we think alike?

[PSU2002]

just so kitty is aware, some creative booing earlier in the game unveiled that Macroman is innocent. my personal thought on who the remaining ec are:
SOAp
Dlw
Harvma.

as to which is on which committee? your guess is better than mine.

OK, I'm up to speed on Macroman's innocence. I'll trust that you guys are sure on that from the boo game somehow.

I still don't get why people dont' have hotdime on the radar. You really think that if she were EC, she could not have made EC1C's posts?

she's been on the radar, definitely.

Yep, me, too.

GET SOAP!!!

[PSU2002]

does that leave anyone to go after phob right now?

[Shakespeare]

Linus
11pnf

[Pirate Kitty]

Want me to boo him? I really think I need to wait for macro.

[PSU2002]

you should wait then. we need 2 consecutive boos this round anyway.

[Shakespeare]

I sent a PM to 11pnf, Linus, RS...

[kiwi]

Linus got him once.

[CindyLou Who]

I can do it, but then I can't do Macroman tonight.

[CindyLou Who]

Whoa, I just reread that. It didn't sound too good. :oops:

Linus, go get SOAP again

[11pecans non fan]

I sent him a PM

I was going to send a PM, but I figured someone else would. :shrug:

[11pecans non fan]

So we need 4 more ghosts. PK, CLW, and RS are usually very active.

[CindyLou Who]

So we need 4 more ghosts. PK, CLW, and RS are usually very active.

Yep, the plan is for at least two of us to be around tonight to get Macroman if he gets online. At least PK and I have committed to that...don't know about RS. Sometimes TF is active in the evening, too, but we haven't heard from him in awhile today.

[Shakespeare]

harvma's lurking in Diversions right now...can we summon some more ghosts?

RS comes in to make it a triple boo.

I'm out for most of the weekend. I might be around Sunday night. Good luck.

[Mel-o-rama]

Are we still up to harvma and Macroman remaining? (Who got tripled booed?)

I'll keep an eye out as well.

[Pirate Kitty]

Yes, harvma and Macro still need a double boo.

Okay - then harvma remains. Understood...

[Super Silver Haze]

[Shakespeare]

I kinda like the ghost conga line thing.

Still going strong at 8:30 Sunday morning!

[Shakespeare]

I'm wondering if harvma has instructions from his fellow EC and previous mod Kohl that it would be good to not get :boo:'d here at the end...possibly not allowing the ghosts a chance to haunt, and thus giving their team a better chance to win. He'll have to post to vote...we need to make sure our EC-loving mod holds him to the posting requirements to vote...then we'll get him!

[Pirate Kitty]

Possible.

Note that he need not vote. With 5 players, 3 votes will complete a lynching. We need to boo him before we order a lynching, or he may not show at all. Then when EC executes and the students pass, we've reached our deadline.

I bet Macroman is a bit freaked out that he's been dodeca-booed.

[Mel-o-rama]

Harvma's not posting!!!! Me getting tired!!!!

[Mel-o-rama]

Also - question. Dino seems to be waiting so he can block any further attempts. Is this allowed from a dead EC member? How does that count?

nmf did it a bunch of times last game, so it was allowed then. I didn't hear anything about it changing (but I haven't been paying attention).

[Pirate Kitty]

EC may not realize that they need to continue blocking. We have a single-:boo: on all 5 players, and it does sorta look like we just celebrated something. They likely have no idea that we still need to double-:boo: harvma.

Good point. I'm wondering - should we keep booing everyone (of course being careful of "collect me" posts) to throw off the ECs? Or should we be quiet until harvma posts?

I'm going to be unavailable most of tomorrow, but I can keep an eye out after 4PM.

[Pirate Kitty]

harvma is online. Anyone around in case he posts?

[Mel-o-rama]

Still here for awhile. If he doesn't post, he's EC!!!

[Mel-o-rama]

I'm going "hidden" so he doesn't see me online.

[Shakespeare]

I'm going "hidden" so he doesn't see me online.

Ooo...stealth mode!

[CindyLou Who]

I'll be on as much as possible today in case harvma posts. Is the best strategy to just post a boo as soon as possible or try to get someone else on board within a few minutes first to avoid a potential block by dino or someone else?

[CindyLou Who]

Oh, and btw, harvma is lurking again.

[MrsFrog]

I'll be around too, I say just post, no point in waiting. As a single boo won't hurt us

[Shakespeare]

Oh, and btw, harvma is lurking again.

Edited...CLW beat me to it!

[Pirate Kitty]

Oh, and btw, harvma is lurking again.

He's exchanging PMs not only with dlwktb, but also with Kohl and Skizz.

Dead exam committee members do not enter the ghost forum. Dead exam committee members may continue to haunt the thread, but should not interact with other players in public posts or private messages, with the exception of their committee.

[CindyLou Who]

He's exchanging PMs not only with dlwktb, but also with Kohl and Skizz.

ITA

[Selfish Bob]

Hey all, I'll be able to start keeping an eye out for harvma beginning in about an hour. Is someone else who's free to boo on watch as well?

[Pirate Kitty]

My guess is that havrma may want to allow some distance between himself and dlwktb. If we post some fluff in the thread, that may give harvma more comfort in posting.

Suggest we not :boo: dlwktb. That will give the impression that we are dong :boo:ing.

[kiwi]

Anyone have kitty pics?

[CindyLou Who]

I don't know why you would say that. Our deadline for getting the boos may be Thursday, but it isn't easy to get them all in before someone dies and in enough time to send messages to the living.

I thought the complaining was part of the qualifying. :shrug:

Oh, and that, too!

[Pirate Kitty]

Boy, for all the complaining you guys do every round, you never seem to have much trouble qualifying. :viola:

I think that's because EC are so clueless. I don't know why they aren't doing a better job of running interference. If I were dead EC, I'd be blocking after every living student post I could. With 7 dead EC, they could be making qualification essentially impossible.

Add to that the fact that, despite being the EC team currently ahead, EC1 has not really killed an EC2 on their own. Their EC2 kills have mainly come from the nmf list, which someone leaked to them ;)

I think he's actually right about SOAP = EC2 and harvma = EC1B.

I hope the other EC listen to him. :lol:

He saw how well that worked for Skizz.

[Pirate Kitty]

I think he's at a loss for what to do. Traditionally, EC1 accuse me of being EC with their dying words. Perhaps he'll still find a way to do so.
