Maybe I should have advertised this better but if I hadn't then I'll say it now: In Cold Blood is not a game judged on 'gameplay'. I am tired of 'gameplay' in TiBB games, because it's just a byword for "being a conniving ****" and ultimately screwing people over and hurting people's feelings. I have no care for it, and I have no idea why people revel in it. It's based in argument, duplicity and untrustworthiness, and none of those are traits I wish to have, let alone intend on rewarding. I look forward to Elimination every series because Ben's tasks are excellent and the basic "nominations" format is always going to work in a game... but throwing in this additional, "I must pretend to be in cahoots with everyone" element of the game, I don't know, I just find it uncomfortable pretending to be nice to people I don't really care for I suppose

Regarding the 'what was in the rules' bit, to be fair, it's always only ever been "do not share your character information in case you become a Killer (because you don't want to get caught)". I don't pretend ICB is a perfect game because I get a bit impulsive with the stories and tasks sometimes and it's hard to piece together one big mystery and leak out clues without spoiling something, or tripping someone up, like I inadvertently did with Amy when I said I was waiting around all day for a killer's decision... and besides, I'm not a writer. I've never written fiction before, I keep getting pestered by my mum but it's something that requires too much patience and foreplanning for me... and when I'm busy trying to do the tasks (and this time, the logos/designs too) as well, it was too much really in the end... so I think the story of this game got a bit lost towards the end, and I haven't even written the conclusion yet, so looking back on it I'll probably stumble upon all sorts of inconsistencies and plot details I'd forgotten about... and in general, I have been unreliable on TiBB Games a lot this year... I set a deadline and then I miss it, more often than not out of failure to prepare, or wanting to do something else...

Like I've said to you in private Ammi, I don't really mind the whole 'I won't put you up if you don't put me up x' thing because - whilst it does put others at a disadvantage, it's not something they couldn't be doing themselves and, ultimately, it doesn't always work (hence Tom dying, and Cal/Liam never really having that many tactical/dirty moves to make) Because I try not to let this become a game where the finalists are whoever's screwed the most people over... and I know for many on TiBB it's not like that, it's just a 'game', but if anything can be taken from TiBB in 2014 it's that drama and upset will come from anything at all. I've always wanted ICB to be a game based on merit, on contribution to tasks, on creativity and originality.

And re: the public poll, I'll scrap that for this edition, and future editions of the game if I do them again. I always used to have them because I thought non-playing members might keep up with the game a little bit and want to have a vote for themselves. And no, I won't redistribute your votes Luke, especially not to three of the four finalists of your choosing

[Cal.]

The updated table was never put in the OP.

[Shaun]

well that's one way to respond I suppose

Well I do apologize if I've brought the 'gameplay' element into it, especially since you don't like the term, it's just that I thought that when the series overview came out Liam and Luke were being congratulated on what they'd done behind people's backs and I thought this would go in their favor in the final, so I decided to say what I've been done (although that kind of failed because people played down what I'd done *cough* Liam *cough*) so I do apologize if that has agitated you in any way. I have contributed to tasks I'd like to think, and I think all five finalists are, so all of us deserve to win if that's what you think makes a winner. I was just searching for a bit of edge that might make me do better in the votes, as ultimately I'm not an overly popular person, so this 'choosing the winner' thing never works out for me and I'll always end up in the bottom - so I thought bringing up the fact me, Amy, Liam and Tom had all had a little deal going on would work in my favor, when I come up with the idea in the first place and Liam and Tom basically laughed in my face when I first brought it up.

I didn't play down your part

We did brush it off to start with tbf, i personally thought we weren't allowed to do that, but then i realised we just weren't allowed to share character details, so i went along with it.. I can't speak for Tom but that's how i got into it

[T*]

Why are people saying I was in an alliance when I pm'ed people like 3 times and was in a chatzy with Liam and Cal just discussing the game

You were being shady af.. and if i hadn't have done that, then you'd probably still be alive and probably would have taken my place in the final so, every cloud and all that

I mean, an alliance is an alliance in forum games, You're all talking to each other constantly about the game, figuring out what to do in the tasks and making your next moves. They can be small, or massive. In Elimination I established the biggest alliance in the game and we had our own forum to talk about the game and our gameplan as we thought that the PM system would get us found out too easily It was really quite fun It was successful, too! But I don't know why but I find ICB to be a game in which alliances do not work, so if it was a game that it was compatible in, I'd be forming alliance from the get go

[Cal.]

What else am I going to call it? We can talk crap all day on how it wasn't really an alliance, but it's just easier to call it an alliance...

'A chat', or a 'Brief conversation about the game'
