Hey. I think we sort of semi-met when I co-hosted Switza's game, but that's been ages. How goes?

Wow, awhile back. It's going well. I figured I had time to balance this game with work. I used to do some games on top of others. Now I fly kind of solo with each one. This game sounded too interesting to pass up. I'm still a little unsure how it plays out, but I'm observing for now. How are you?

It's an interesting premise. Like, this particular match is more or less a vote (as you'd have in Survivor or BB)... you make your offer to people, trust it's good enough to outweigh any allegiance they may have, etc... Kind of a Survivor microcosm in the challenge. Though I think it'll take a couple rounds to warm up and have everyone get the hang of it.
And yeah, multiple games at a time sounds like a nightmare, really. One game is enough of a time investment. I imagine it would be really awkward to be in 2 games with other people who are in both, and your relation to them different in each game. Too much to keep up with. heh.
I'm good. Piling food into my face atm. It's cool seeing you in a game we're both... I remember that Survivor game, you were such a controversial figure and Switza and I just had no clue why (you did well, won some challenges, seemed nice...). Ha! I've decided to stick with games *off* the board (barring Idol games), because on the board... it's just too much drama.

Which one was the Survivor one you guys hosted? I am having trouble remembering which games I've been in. The worst one was where I took Sam as my ride or die to the finals and she and Justin_frando or whatever trashed me during the whole jury process. I think that was a BB game though. It's nice playing a game like this one. Not as much of a time constraint and not as drama-filled. Mystery games are nice in that way too because I don't have to chat with people and actually know who they are in that way until the game is over. I'm voting you for this round by the way, if you want the win. I ranked you #1 in my listings for both polls.

heh. It was Switza Survivor back around September.
And yeah, mystery games at least keep everything outside of the game, well, outside of the game. The cool thing about this game is that by the format, it's necessary that everyone will have to work with everyone at some point, and the people you work with sometimes has to vary each round (Mas kind of arbitrarily assigns people into groups for some challenges, and others require trading with everyone in the game, etc...). No voting on who's eliminated, which keeps it relaxed.
And thank you! I'll distribute chips near the end (somewhere between 3 and 5, depending on how many votes are needed), when I know how many I can give each person. In this challenge, if there's a sole candidate remaining, they decide who goes to the Death Match, so I'll let those who vote for me pick that. Whether or not I win (or drop out because I can't win) depends on the polling votes, which so far seem to be in my favor, so I'm hopeful at this point/that's the ideal goal.

Well, I'll vote for ya. Nyx still hasn't talked to me much. Surprised she hasn't dropped out. The death match- how will that be determined this round since two people didn't vote?

The Death Match will likely be one of the inactive people, and then it's up for them who to challenge. If they don't sign on after 24 hours to challenge someone, Mas will probably automatically eliminate them.
Nyx is trying to bribe people to drop out. I'd rather not, but if Pete does and gives her his vote, I'm kind of outnumbered. So... trying to hold off a little to see what's feasible at this point. I'll be posting and distributing chips in about half an hour, though. At this point, with some people inactive, I'd need at least 3 votes to tie - though whoever voted for Pete and Adam could be a factor, depending on if they change their vote. Thinking I'll probably give you and Misty (the 2 who voted for me) 4 chips, and offer 4 to others, which should give me enough for 4 votes, or 5 in a crunch. I'll throw in more if it's a last minute hail mary and don't know how others are voting.

Votes are due soon! I admittedly need to talk to more people in this game. It seems like there are a lot of inactive players...

Not nearly as many as last time Mas tried to start this. Half the cast was inactive. Right now it looks like 3 inactives, albeit Modica is lying low and Lukas was taken by surprise that it was starting back up. I highly recommend Misty, if you've never talked to her in a game. She's really cool.

Which username is she? I forgot. I don't think I've ever played a game with her.

Oh yeah! If you drop out and we vote for Nyx, do you think she'll stick to sending an inactive to the death match? She only offered me two chips for my vote.

Yeah, I think she'll send an inactive to the Death Match (if she doesn't, whoever she chooses can challenge an inactive and win their garnet). And she offered you chips already? OK, cool... I'll go for 5, then. Makes the math easier on me. heh.

I didn't take her offer cuz if you stuck in I'd vote for you. Still unsure how the chips go. So we only get them if the winning candidate offered them to us right? She didn't give them to me. She asked if that's enough for her vote.
