England - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Here is my pitch:

I always say to elect someone who doesn't want to be elected that way they can get heightened scrutiny. And I always do not want to be it, because I will always get more scrutiny anyway. But this time..... This time is different.

1. Most of you all don't know me. 2. I encourage said scrutiny (just how I feel comfortable). And 3. This will give me some skin in the game.

Elect DocE

Why is this time different?

Also I don't know who 75% of you are and the 25% I do know, I just don't trust because I know what they're capable of.
 
Also we might have some people waking up late considering we were on Jackbox at 3 am :whistle:
Yupp. Just woke up recently, and then it took a few minutes to be able to see. At baseline I have photosensitive/air sensitive/dry/allergic eyes AND I accidentally gave myself a pretty severe corneal abrasion on Monday AND the optometrist put a contact on there to protect it AND it doesn't fit right so it slides around. So it takes a few rounds of different eye drops and blinking to be able to see. My follow-up is later today and i simultaneously can't wait to get the contact out/am scared to because it's like a bandaid protecting my open eye :/
That explains it, I fell into a wine coma at 1
Yeah we noticed lol. When I logged out at 3am you were still in there (but muted).
 
Still not fast enough, choker.
I had to get ready for class an hour away. Classes=job=money=paid internet bill=supported WW habit. I know, next level dedication.

I'm finally awake!

elect shorty
 
You want to elect a leader that admits to incompetence. That's new.
It’s something I’ve never seen in politics before. You’ve got to admit, it’s unusual. Maybe just the kind of thing we need to shake things up around here and get things moving.
 
Here’s my real pitch:
For one, I spend way too much time on WW. Winning as a neutral on my vacation was one of the highlights of my vacation, so at least you know I’m dedicated.
But my biggest positive, I’m a mediocre player at this game. The Prime Minister could be a huge target for the wolves. If you lose me? No big deal. I’m not that good anyway. You lose shorty? Lose a great mind that does incredible ISO’s and solved Bioshock.
MsP? She had an incredible POE last game.
SAR has much more knowledge than I.
I don’t know doc at all so I can’t comment there.
Thus giving the mediocre player the role of PM and putting a target on my back instead of anyone who is truly useful to village is probably the best bet.
thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
 
Ah. I thought there was some deeper motivation.
In the first few hours of a game that represents my first WW in like 2+ years? I may talk a lot of bravado, but let's be honest. I am sort of not at my best right now. I really am doing it just to try to make sure I have motivation to keep my involvement high (only way I'm going to actually do my reputation justice).

For *once* with me. It's not that deep.

This is giving me credit that I do not deserve given that I spent the entirety of Bioshock doing ISOs and then having meltdowns over how little I trusted my reads. If anyone solved Bioshock, it was the neutrals.
 
I haven’t spreadsheeted in so long I have given up. My spreadsheet to keep a record of my past games has also been neglected for awhile.
 
I know I’m joking. Sleep is super important and I love sleep. I’m just telling myself this to accept that I stayed up til 3 AM last night and also had to wake up at 7 AM for work
sounds like you made some poor choices 😉
.... maybe you should reconsider that SAR vote?

Dude you actually solved it, started doubting yourself and I role revealed to prove you were right.
you did all the heavy lifting, I just had to blow it up lol
 
Prime Minister Tally

SAR - Dubz, SAR, April, AM, alissa, vetmedhead
Ms P - Ms P, sunshine
Samac - supershorty, mkg323, Telemarketing, samac
Shorty - genny, zenge, dina
DocE - DocE
 
I can't even keep my spreadsheet tabs up to date, you want that kind of organization as Prime Minister?
I dunno, have you seen some of these prime ministers? I feel like my no-spreadsheet-keeping, plays-exclusively-on-mobile self would fit right in

Oh man, if we're electing based on overall uselessness to village then put me in coach. For reference I was going to joke that I had watched a themed Chopped episode as preparation for this game and then remembered it was Ireland themed... Can't even pretend I was doing UK research or some BS because the game is very explicitly called England

No. But. For real. Vote for me.
#whatstheworstthatcanhappen.

Actually don't answer that otherwise you're all going to honestly consider it and then come for me. I just want more power. But in an honestly "it will be more fun for me" way. Non wolfy non chaos way.

Just do it.
Hmm yes this is 100% believable
