Here's what we're going to do this week. ONLY THE LIVING MAY PLAY
Choose exactly 5 integers between 1 and 30. I will randomly select 5 different numbers between 1 and 30, whomever gets the most correct wins. HOWEVER, you only get to play the numbers you submit that nobody else submits. So if you submit 1,2,3,4,5 and someone else does 1,3,4,5,6, then only your 2 is in play for you.
Tiebreaker: In case of a tie, whomever has the highest sum of their original 5 numbers among the people tied wins.

OK I am posting my #s, like the first week. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. If you don't post your #s here, and/or you use the same #s as me, you are hereby suspect as a clone or alien. I am human, don't overlap me and if I win I will work with the dead humans closely to choose a doublevote. Also, don't do something stupid like Zac did the first time where you "technically used the numbers I posted just not in that order herpaderpalerp!!!"

I already sent my numbers in, also I don't see why people's two choices are 1) do what you say or 2) you're a clone/alien.

I know right? It's not fair you picked all the good numbers... also if you really picked them, the clones can pick them too and screw up your immunity which will give them a huge advantage even if we find out who they are because they'll just vote you out.

Yeah i'm not posting mine. At this point there are 2 clones and an alien. Plus you took the 5 best numbers for the tie breaker so its a little self serving.
Also hwo do we even know you are sending in those numbers to evan. You could be totally lying.

Because I explicitly stated I will work with the dead humans and choose who they want. Those who dont wish to work with known humans, well...
Usually evan posts the #s you pick (I assume this is the case here, right evan?) so you will see I have been 100% truthful.

You people don't seem to get how this works. Tulley has posted his numbers. You are free to choose the same numbers that he did, but you will overlap Tulley's numbers, which means those numbers will be disqualified for both of you. If you wish to have a chance at winning, you will need to select numbers that others haven't selected, and you know for a fact that 26 through 30 have been selected.
So why does Tulley get the best numbers? Because he said it first. If you have a problem with that, all you have to do is sacrifice your chance at winning by selecting the same numbers as Tulley.
It doesn't really matter anyway. This challenge equates to: "this week's winner shall be random1".
1By random, we mean that Evan will decide who he wants to win, and select his numbers accordingly, after the fact.

But this is good. Chris & Farrell were already my top 2 suspects, so having them behave as I would expect clones to behave is useful.

I'm fine with random, but I"m not thrilled with the Tulley ultimatum also. I'm willing to work with whomever on the vote, dead humans seem cool, but I've already done this post numbers strategy and I wanted to try a new strategy for the numbers. My current idea was that my numbers will be chosen randomly by something awesome, like finding a million monkey simulator and choosing the results at midnight distributed over 30 numbers, or how about using the number of words in this thread fed into an online seeder. For instance, right now, i'll go with www.random.org/integer-sets/?mode=advancedwith 5 numbers in 1 set, seeded with the number of words tulley used(88). Those are my numbers. Truly random. Anyone can look up my numbers. |

Which human did we kill to leave Tully in charge?
I'm fine for playing with the team, but how about a discussion before throwing out an ultimatum?
I mean Tully you told me just last week to think before I post things!
I know that Annie an Amer are good players, but just because we know that they're human doesn't mean that they know anything we don't. And I have to ask, why do you trust Tully?
And no offense, but our current leadership isn't exactly taking this ship in the direction I want to go.
So I'm sorry I sent my numbers in, and I'll tip my hand too, Five of my favorite earthquakes players:
4 Sam Cronin
8 Chris Wondolowski
16 Alan Gordon
18 Jon Busch
24 Steven Lenhart

I didn't say I trust Tulley. I was just explaining to you how this works. It's brinksmanship. He is publicly claiming those numbers, and if anyone wants to challenge him, all they have to do is sacrifice their chance of winning this week. He is trusting that people are more interested in trying to win than they are in trying to punish him for taking those which appear to be the best numbers.

Or.... 5 people can each pick 1 number in Tulley's set disqualifying him and at the same time sparing us from having to sacrifice our chance to win.
Not that I'm out for Tulley or anything, I just get irritated when people proclaim themselves the leader. Strategically speaking, if he's the alien it's a really safe plan: get immunity and claim that anyone who doesn't agree is a clone. It shifts the focus from alien to clone and provides a way for humans to unite together with a cause so there are enough votes for one person [who he will persuade us to agree with his choice or be called a clone]. It's a perfect hiding place, except for when it isn't.

Yes what a perfect plan! So perfect that nobody is going for it. All of you are of course conveniently ignoring the fact that I have multiple times said I would go for whoever the known dead humans want me to vote out. But then, there are 2-3 people here who wouldn't really want that, now would they?

But then, there are 2-3 people here who wouldn't really want that, now would they? Maybe im a n00b, but i don't get how that is a good defense. The alien is the person who truly doesn't care who gets voted out, since they still eat. The rest of us want a discussion because that leads to slip ups, people defending others, and evidence that might help us find the clones. Also, It has been pretty implicit that we work with the known humans to decide who to vote out, its kind of a juke move to make a big deal of it. All of this stuff from Tulley this week is odd. |

Hey do what you want. When someone wins and does weird things (like has happened multiple times already, where people act without any consensus to the detriment of the humans) you can tell me again about how odd I have been. As I human, I am just trying to get the humans to work together.

You say that "people act without any consensus to the detriment of the humans" and that's exactly what you're doing right now. |

While thier motiviation is not in question, their deduction skills are. I know this being a big target by amer and annie and being a human. I'm willing to entertain their other theories but any theory that has me as a suspect I'm going to disregard because I know I'm human. I don't expect others to disregard it but I am. |

Well, that's just a little insulting Farrell. Exactly how have the rest of you proven your mad deduction skills? And since when is just proclaiming one's humanity any evidence of innocence? I'd think you be a little more polite to the only player you know IRL.
My opinion is no better than any one else's except you know it is neither alien nor clone. None of you survivors can say that.

Sorry it was insulting, but look at it from my perspective. The two most vocal dead humans were out to get me and I know I'm human so I can't support giving them more power to just vote me off. |
