So after 5 rounds we have a tie game, which means we're going into sudden death, and I'm going to need some consensus here.
The original plan was to select a hotseat player completely at random, with the game deciding point going to the defending team if the attacking team got it wrong, but since Quin's replaced in late in the game and hasn't had a turn in the hotseat, I think it might be appropriate to just put him in the hotseat by default.
What's it going to be, random choice, or Quin?
If I get any sort of consensus from the 6 of you, I'll follow it. If 3 of you say random and 3 of you say Quin, the tie-breaking decision will go to the first non-Quin person to make predictions in the audience thread that I see online at the time.
I knew this was a lie. xD
*Stabs*
If I were put in the hot seat, I would make a friendly gesture to you all now to vote lie on instinct as you would otherwise probably assume "third time's a charm" that I'd finally be revealing a truth. But you'd be wrong. I'm just that good at lying. :mwahaha:
Hah!
I'll say Quin for the lols.
Let Quin have his turn...
Quin I was a young man, I always wanted to Quin.
Quin collecting was a hobby I failed to keep. I take walks on occasion, but never know where I'm Quin.
Hoist yeselves 'pon my member, turgid with smugness.
I also vote Quin, and I heard that everyone else did too.
That's a simple majority then.
Rantz, can I get you to edit the thread title to "Would I Lie To You? Game 1 SUDDEN DEATH!" ?
PM going out to Quin momentarily.

In this Friends with Benefits relationship, are you the top, or the bottom?
How did you meet?
What are your conversations like? Just general catching up or more personal?
Up the bottom.Quote:

His daughter, Mica, spelled my name right without any prompting, and his son, Jasper, was a bit of a pillock. I pushed him around the garden on a pedal go-kart thing.Quote:

How long have you known him?
When did you last meet?
In what context do you typically "hang out" or get to talk? Do you hang out or is it more of a running into each other thing?
Ooh, blimey. I would've met in in.... what? 2005? Sometime around then. Reckon I last met him was before I went to uni, so 2008/2009. I usually only speak to him and meet him due to other people. We'd go round his house or he'd come round ours. That's when I'd meet him. Similarly, phone calls were usually just a case of me answering the phone and politely chatting for a bit while the person he wanted to talk to got off the loo, or something.
Is he closer with one of your parents or something since he'd call your house and want to talk to somebody else?
Well, yeah. He usually called on Buddhist business, as far as I'm aware.
Geez, I missed last night to sleep and look at all what happens
How exactly did you meet? Who did you meet him through? Why would he call your house?
Think you're a bit passed the deadline, matey. ;)
But I'll answer those as a kindness, since they're the most interesting parts, as opposed to the other, boring questions. ;)
He was hosting a house party so I went round his house. I guess I met him through my parents, in the sense that they were invited to the house party and brought me along to keep me away from drugs, or whatever reason parents have to hang out with their kids. He would call my house to talk to my parents, typically about Buddhisty things.
At first I thought this sounded like a lie because of how Quin pointedly mentioned the name of Howard's children and the fact that he's a Buddhist - facts that aren't too hard to find out from a simple search - in a sort of unnatural way that a person who does know him probably wouldn't. But then, I like to think Quin is a bit more clever than that and might be doing that specifically to seem like he's lying when he's actually telling the truth. I also think it seems like an unlikely statement to be used as a lie, seeing as you'd need to live in England for it to be plausible, and I think the statements Bleys appoints are picked randomly. This could be wrong, though.
Thoughts, team?
Bleys has said that he tries to match lies to the player's background, so he would choose lies that relate to, for example, an English person, and then choose randomly from those lies.
It is true, though, it's definitely true, and we are friends.
Pfsst! Vote Lie! Do it! Dooooo iiiit!
Hey, that's not fair!
Well, I'm keeping quiet. Wake me when we inevitably lose.
Hey! It's not over till they vote true!
Or lie. :shifty:
Subliminal messaging... or the Force? "You don't believe in anything anymore." :handwave: :screwy:
I could have sworn I already posted in this. Did the off-and-on database errors eat my post?
Anyway, I'm thinking true. The statement is a bit weird and localized, and Quin is trying very hard to sound like he's lying by making vague comments. He could just be a bad liar, which I don't think is true, or he could be bluffing -- but that would mean he's smart, which I don't think is true.
Oh you :colbert:
Hey, they're only vague compared to you lot's answers. I was just trying to replicate the spirit of the show, but you kept failing to ask for more information. :(
Glad I didn't kill the thread, though. xD
I don't think we should replicate the spirit of the show. Rob Brydon once answered a question on behalf of a contestant xD
That would be quite the boon for me, my friend. New lie in the spirit of the show: I once accidentally bought a horse. ;)
This actually happened to me.
I was just referencing the show to pass the time until the other team get their act together. :/
I'm still waiting for Sam to give her opinion! Guess I should message her...
Always waiting on the womenfolk. :roll2
I'm willing to answer an extra question from Sam, since hers have been joke ones so far. Although, as she correctly identified, I am a liar, which is why my statement is true. :bigsmile:
*Snoozing*
.......Huh - wha! Oh.. is this round over yet?
Dude, Rantz
I said lie aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago.
That was before any questions! xD
Someone's been sending naked pictures to Bleys! ;)
Without asking or taking into account any questions, as well as accompanied by a flurry of non-serious comments - it's not a stretch to take it for a joke. Even if it wasn't, it seems proper to give you a chance to reconsider after Quin said more about it and Raist and I posted made our comments about it. So don't you put this on me! :D
##Vote: Truth
Hah! I can't believe it worked! xD
Quin's association with some singer guy I've never heard of is...
TRUE!
Congrats to Team Rantz for taking home the win in overtime! This means that for Game 2, Rantz will be presenting, and Raistlin and Tifa's Boobs will be team captains. Rantz decides who gets to play and assigns teams for Game 2!
My Individual Liar of the Game Award goes to Mercen-X for that delightful WIFOM in Indiana Jones and the Nazi Skull Helmet.
Fun fact: Out of six players, five sent in true statements.
I'll be sending all of my unused lies to Rantz, along with the true statements of everyone who hasn't played.
I changed my mind six or seven times as to whether I'd be sending on unused true statements of the contestants, so at this point, each of you just decide for yourself by replying in this thread. I'll send the data to Rantz once all 5 of you reply.
The game ran quite a bit longer than expected, so I'm thinking Game 2 should not start for a month or two at least. Comments?
As of the ending of the game, non-contestants can now post in this thread.
yeaaaaaaah
smurf you, team jirohault :)
You helped not, TB. I can't believe my Jedi mind trick failed. SCOOBY!
Eh. I knew we'd lose anyway. :(
Congratulations anywho! Hopefully the audience discussion thread will actually be active with my presence.
At least I get my brownie button. :D
Hell yes! Nice come-from-behind victory, team.
I don't think winning in sudden death counts as coming from behind.
I was referencing the fact that we were behind earlier in the game, Mr. Pedantic. :mad2:
Congrats to all the winners. ;)
MOAR.
Can I play next time? And if so, will someone remind me to play? This looked like fun and I have been right about every player since page 4 (which is admittedly where I started.
Damn, I missed the part about me becoming the next host if my team won. :shifty:
Signup thread is here. I'm still holding the statements for now.Quote:

I'd love to play again, but I know that's not very likely to happen. No-one would want me anyway after my complete failure of a captaincy!
Going into Sudden Death is the opposite of complete failure. You also succeeded in both of your hotseat rounds.
