Yeahh... that mostly because you cost me my victory and also weren't much active with votes and stuff. Of course that's what I got from you.

We don't need Veir's vote anymore since its unanimous at this point.

The winner of our game of uneasy alliances: Drizzle!!!

Congratulations. The game is now over. I hope you guys enjoyed the distraction. Thanks for staying with it all the way despite that one time with Ipman. The game was going a certain direction with 2 greats but then it took a nosedive about halfway in. Just goes to show that leadership tactics early on can be real finicky. It was regrettable seeing nobody trying to risk big votes early game, especially since they were the ones voting people off, they would have a rough estimate as to how many pts it would take to beat someone; which is remarkable for Dipi to be the first but he sort of just cheated by risking everything.

Drizzle's win is well-deserved. Tbh if I was voting I'd have a hard time choosing as well. That singular moment Dipi pwned his captor was the first best moment in the game. But Drizzle knew in some ways when to withhold votes. He had a sense for it and was bold by the end. He wins in terms of risk-taking. I don't know what went on in the background but the top three were clearly deserving of the winning positions.

This is the part where I ask for your feedback; how was the game? What would you recommend be done differently next time? Was it too simple or too boring? Comments please.



I will now post all the votals leading up to the final moment:

That was fun. Yeah, I wanted to try something that I thought would catch the members off guard if everyone got a vote. You were right though but curiosity got the best of me. Now, as for feedback, I'd say I definitely prefer "Race to Riches" due to it being more simple and requires me to not communicate with others but this is just a personal preference and by no means makes Consortium worse. It's just too much work for a "side game" in my own taste, since I have to keep track with PM's.

Thought I heard whining
Oh wait: I did

Frankly I regret nothing: getting second by not being that active (except maybe the last part of the game, where I started making up fake messages http://sta.sh/0tfm2y1dqom) is an honor
In the first instance mine was a kamikaze move: to drag down with me a certain canadian fruitcake who suddenly decided to try and fuck me over
Although I do not understand one thing: Drizzle, why the 2 votes on round 5?

That's why I just said "Interesting." when you told me in the PM theTDguy sent you a message telling you to vote me. Even before you sent that fake message, I didn't trust you. Not sure if you already know by this point, but theTDguy and I were in a mini-alliance.

I knew, since I was in an alliance with Drizzle the whole time (it was worth a try anyway to make you doubt)
When 4 are left and I know that 2 are together, then it's not even a possibility the other 2 are together, but more like a necessity

Should I have brought out the big guns with 25 votes?

Drizzle, why the 2 votes on round 5?


Something should always remain a mystery.

To be frank, I almost had the game flowing my way starting from after round 3 and that I should have someone backing me up for the rest of the game, and choosing Dipi is a great decision. Special thanks to Devour to guide us the first half of the game. And the fact that he targeted Dipi first is actually the perfect luck on our side, that we can eliminate "leaders" early in the game. If it weren't for that, might as well Devour and Veir will be the last 2, and none of this will never happen. Without the big guns, the only chance to take down was the second to last round, which you guys ended up to be too conservative, thus costing you both the game.

And the last round was not even suppose to be that close lmao.

Oh and Alpha saved your ass during round 5 btw, would be a completely different story if it was Veir instead of you who made it further in.





Honestly this game is far from being a mini-game tbh. As Zero said, games like "Race to Riches" barely require any works or thinking compared to this whole mess. Not like I want to downgrade this game or something but this is quite too much for a side game.

Let it be known that elaborate plans to pit the entire playerbase against each other just draws attention. My death was bound to happen :p

But if I had managed to pull it off... gosh that would have been cool.

If you managed to do that, the world would explode.
@Drizzle
Alpha saved my life as in Devour? How'd he save my life? Do you think you still could've won if Veir was in instead?
