UNScum : Day 1

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22285

The world is in chaos, wars are everywhere, even Paul McCartney is having no luck calming the situation with a game of footy…

The UN gets together to talk things through, but the situation is so incendiary, that everyone has come in disguise!
We must stop this madness, anybody who can't be trusted will have to be voted off the council and play no more part in any UN decisions...

We need to save the planet people, your countries have put their trust in you, please save civilisation for your children... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!

Oh, and sort out global warming while your at it, kthanxbye.

With 19 players alive, 10 votes are required for a lynch, and 14 nolynch votes are required to not lynch anybody.

Day 1 Ends at 10pm Monday.

Remember, you are voting people off the council, not for lynching, but the principal stays the same!

And what a glorious day it is in geneva today.

nickachu · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 11:59

A gloriously quiet day....

They shouldn't have opened the summit so close to lunch.

LaceSensor · **Joined:** 2nd Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 3137

I was expecting delegates to arrive Monday - seems someones secretary missed a memo. Still I managed to get here in time it seems - but maybe a few delegates will be delayed!

Oh yes, lunch. I will be having whatever my local delicacy is.
What will you be having?

gospvg · **Joined:** 7th Nov, 2008 **Posts:** 2306

Carrying my papers, I come rushing in to grab my seat.
I see the Swiss & Germans are here already, very prompt.

Lot's of empty seats.

Why is that of importance? My nutritional needs are met.

don't have much time at the moment, lots of things to do and not much time, wasn't expecting this so early.

FOS at nickachu for not wanting to reveal his national dish...

Malc

There's 3/4 sides. So everyone is going to have a FOS pointed at them shirely?

I've not even glanced at the rules. Would it be a giggle to try and play without doing so?

Absolutely.

Just let us know which country you represent, and we'll try to help you out.

I don't even know where to start, I think we have to lynch people, because we all have our own win conditions, but it is going to be difficult to get majorities.

Whose towel is that draped over two seats?

Erm, okay. Shockingly, my towel reference isn't a meta-double-bluff "zomg I'm a German" erm, bluff. Just a bit of banter.

Dangerous game in this charged atmosphere.

Alarm · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 15:01

Note that I did not say that I am German, I asked whose towel it was.

Anyway, I'll shut up for now, as my phone calls are being monitored.

Why would you deny being German, are you saying you are the infidel instead?

I was going to make the towel joke, glad someone beat me to it as it turns out. Good to see we are already mirroring real-life global diplomacy here

Amusingly, there's no real benefit in claiming one side over the other. There's no 'good guys', there's just 3 sides vying to win.

Except the Dutch and Germans, who everybody else needs to lose.

Surely the Swiss are playing the role of 'Town' here?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Hardly.

The Swiss, Dutch, and Germans need everyone else out of the game.
The Americans and British need the Libyans and Afghans out of the game
The Libyans and Afghans need the Americans and British out of the game.

So, in a delightfully ironic way, the 'Peaceables' are the most agressive in this game.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 15:59

But the Peaceables have no kill role, do they?

They're essentially a Town pitted against two different Mafia.

I certainly have. Usually right before 'fucking for virginity'.

This is also how I'm reading the game, so it must be wrong.

Hello fellow delegates, i certainly hope there isn't a comic mix-up between Obama and Osama sat around the same table. Well since someone didn't inform me earlier that the free lunch had opened i am off to get some grub.

Right. So.

Strategies, anyone?

sdg · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 19:22

Good evening fellow delegates. I have not had the chance to read the briefing notes provided to us before we arrived, I will read them over dinner in a local restaurant tonight. Can anyone recommend anywhere good?

Aha, trying to lure out someone who knows about places to eat in New York are we? Like an American would? Which makes you... an American yourself because it's all a double bluff! Aha!

Is rooting out a Yankee doodle a good thing? For the game's purposes they are just as much an enemy as the heathen A-rabs, yes? Feels like they shouldn't be though, have I missed something? Are the yanks in some way beneficial to us? I've confused myself

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38478

The Yanks are as much the bad guys as the Ay-rabs. We need to get rid of the antagonists, as always, but this time there are 2 'mafias'

sdg · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 23:02

I have no idea what city we're in, I was drinking a lot during the journey. X

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 23:12

Sorry, I've been 'listening to you all on my phone' and forgot to actually join in the conversation.

I have read the briefing papers. I am non the wiser!

Nope. Everyone's a mafia, on 3 teams.
