HoWW I Met Your Mother: Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just checking in...bf made the mistake of introducing me to Civ so I was just playing that for a solid...dear lord like 6 hours.

Definitely think the whole Ashgirl/chaos potential is shady, but it seems a few people know a bit more so I'm willing to hold off for now. Will check in again with a vote. Going to make some food, write some surgery reports and do some laundry.
And we didn't see Orca again for a month.

But seriously. He warned me that it's like a blackhole for time. When he plays with his parents, they have a rule that you can't start a game after 10PM. I had plans to go to the gym today, but now that's probably not going to happen because it's the time where the gym gets crowded and I want dinner.

Which iteration? I love 4 myself, play it to death with the Next War mod, but there's no such thing as a "bad" iteration of Civ, really.
 
Civ 5 forever!!!!

Anyways. Anyone willing to say that they were the person Ash spoke to in the Lusty Leopard? I received info that it was in fact someone in that group that she was speaking to, so not just story fluff.

Civ IV: Beyond the Sword mainly right now. I have the other expansions for it since Steam had it all for $30. I attempted Beyond Earth when they had a free trial but I couldn't figure it out since I hadn't even tried this one yet. Might try Civ 5 at some point, but he said he didn't like it as much for reasons I don't remember.
 
Interesting. I didn't like 4 as much as 3 and 5. But to each his own.

Yeah, I forget what his reasons are. I'm willing to give them all a try. We just started with 4 since it's what he currently has on his computer and therefor would be easiest for me learn. I have absolutely no freaking clue what I'm doing.

I prefer IV myself, though I also own V. I'm telling you, load up the Next War mod in BTS, it's amazing.

IV reminds me the most of II and I, while III and V are more like one another. IV is more old school micromanagement, which I enjoy. Anyway, we should probably take this nerd **** to the gaming thread before everyone flips out.
 
Ok, I don't really know this show at all. Anyone want to give opinions on which characters would be more likely villagers and which we might think at more likely wolves?
 
I'm convinced the lynch probably won't work on her. Still willing to test it though.

:rage:
I should interject that STL loves his powerful chaos roles that have very little chance of winning the game. So there is that. But MJ helped the wolves a lot more than he helped the villagers in that game ( :punch: ). Would not like to see a repeat.

I can also see there being like two or three of them, though not as powerful. I do hope that someone affiliation-seered her. Names are good but I think this warranted it.
 
lynch gwen

based on very mild, largely unsubstantiated feels
 
I'm going to just randomly vote *****lynch SnowWhite96***** since I don't know them.

I'm undecided on the Ashgirl vote. I skimmed through the posts to catch up, and I felt like her posts were a little off. However, barney is so major it could be a bad blow to us if it turns out she is a villager, and I'm really leery of any writeup clues, they're almost never helpful. Anyways, I'm willing to hold off until we get at least one wolf and can figure out what the theme of wolves are.

I could see major ex girlfriends (like Stella) as wolves, although there are so many of them.. So maybe STL flipped it and made the ex girlfriends villagers and the main group wolves? Or maybe robins ex-boyfriends are wolves? I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but I could potentially see that as a neat wolf idea. Honestly there were a ton of ways he could have gone, so I'm not sure. So far we just know Daphne was a villager (and she was a random character they added into the last season who wasn't romantically involved with anyone).

Hmm, I'd be more interested in characters we think are for sure villagers.
 
I wonder if the "player king hoax" means that ashgirl would have become mayor whether we elected her or not. Seems weird that the write-ups would just hand us a wolf like that.
I actually asked Mr. Mod himself on this one, and the hoax simply meant that it was a hoax to anyone but me, meaning that I would be the only one who could become mayor and receive benefits for it.

I'm pretty sure the press release came from a player and newish one since they referred to Ashgirl as a he. Could be SOV/LIS I suppose but they don't seem very likely to use an emoticon like that.
I believe they were talking about my character (who happens to be a he 😉). Speaking of, as many of you guessed, I am in fact Barney Stinson.

As far as wolfie characters, he could have gone several ways. He could have included the Bosses, as someone earlier mentioned, and it could be Stella and other exs.. I'm wondering if he took a different approach though. What if he put the wolves as people that the group (or someone in the group) didn't like, like Patrice. I'm inclined to think all of the mains as villagers, but I suppose you can't be 100% sure.

Now, does anyone have any more information on this lynch? I really don't want to put 2 votes on a RNG.
 
lynch Zensing . I have no major feels on anyone beyond what has been discussed already and I want to get a vote in before I go back to Civ. Hahah.
 
It looks like we have a tricky tie possibility. Probably should get rid of that before it's up to the mod.

lynch snowwhite
 
I wanted to save this for when we lynched a wolf, but I will never find it again....

This is SOV (or @LetItSnow)'s celebration dance:
