Rumble Strike Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Like I said before, they may not actually mean anything, other than being a nod to Lego sets. Such a thing would be a cute touch if we were playing a game on a Lego forum and not here on a cruise ship, obviously. Therefore I wouldn't think that just voting off the person with the 'scariest' set is a particularly good idea, but then this is the first day of our ordeal and I doubt we will have anything concrete to go on other than gut feeling.
Captain Genaro Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I agree with Alice. Let's not vote people off based off sets at this point. We are assuming that the numbers correspond with sets, but they could have a different meaning entirely. If the cruise company chose 4 random numbers for each crew/passanger number, it seems pretty likely that they would be Lego sets. Of course, I am hoping that there is some sort of build challenge assosiated with these numbers.
MagPiesRUs Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I feel we may be reading too much into these numbers. Mary's passenger number (9696) seems to indicate that they don't correlate with lego sets. Any 4-digit number you can think of is bound to have a lego set that corresponds with it. While it is interesting that a lot of our numbers are linked to new recent sets, there are enough exceptions to the rule to suggest that this may just be a coincidence.

Why do you insist they may not mean anything? That's, like, a bit weird. They don't have to be LEGO sets, but I'm pretty sure they have, like, some kind of meaning. But I don't like the idea of voting based on these numbers, either. Doesn't sound like a good idea. I'm still not going to reveal my number, but I feel save to tell you it's a space-themed set. Hope that helps. Does anybody besides Bristol like singing?? I think we should have a singing party. BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUUUUUUUUUT ME OFFFFFF!! *Diane continues to sing and dance in a clear act of drunkness, and begins to argue with herself on whether she should strip, then invite George as she pours wine over her head* *Pulls George up on stage, quickly taking his clothes off* Oh, and I asked that admiral guy about the numbers. He said that we'll find out eventually. So I think that they mean something. Hey, stop stealing my show! That's so irritating! I mean, I feel safe.
Rumble Strike Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I'm just trying to put a different side to the somewhat rampant speculation about what the numbers mean. Maybe they are important, maybe they aren't, nobody knows. My feeling is that they aren't important. I'm not basing that on anything, though.
def Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Sorry, I was mistaken about the numbers relating to current/recent sets, but the numbers are more than simple coincidence, since more than a few have them. I too got a ticket number relating to a 2012 set. If the numbers are truly pointless, it'll be pure frustration in the end though. A total distraction. We'll need to compare the dead to the numbers to really know.
TrumpetKing Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Well, I don't think lynches should be made off of the numbers quite yet, we've yet to truly see how they reflect on others. Besides, don't you think Bob would have made it a little less obvious if the "scary" sets were the scum?
def Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Well, I don't think lynches should be made off of the numbers quite yet, we've yet to truly see how they reflect on others. Besides, don't you think Bob would have made it a little less obvious if the "scary" sets were the scum? Honestly, I have no idea. In previous mafia situations, there have been many 'no-nos' in the design, and it makes the end result less predictable, if somewhat frustrating.
ADHO15 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Let's not vote people off based off sets at this point. Better now when we have nothing else to go on. Of course, if an alternative arises, I shall be happy to go with that instead. If the cruise company chose 4 random numbers for each crew/passanger number, it seems pretty likely that they would be Lego sets. Any 4-digit number you can think of is bound to have a lego set that corresponds with it. While it is interesting that a lot of our numbers are linked to new recent sets, there are enough exceptions to the rule to suggest that this may just be a coincidence. Like you said, it could be just a coincidence, but rather a big one that most of these numbers correspond to recent Town/City sets. I do not think it is merely chance. I feel we may be reading too much into these numbers. Mary's passenger number (9696) seems to indicate that they don't correlate with lego sets. Either that or she has something to hide and is lying to us... We'll need to compare the dead to the numbers to really know. Definitely! Even if we do not act upon the ID numbers, we should keep a record of how they relate to the allegiances of those we have convicted.
TrumpetKing Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 What angers me is that I'm probably going to be lynched for something I can't defend myself over, and something that I had no control over. Do I care about being lynched? No, just give me a reason to defend myself, instead of saying "Oh, well you have the scariest number, so we'll vote for you." PirateDave has just "pinged" me in that case, perhaps he is trying to divert people away from his band of theives?
def Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Well, I won't be voting based on number. I have had a few pings, and while most probably are harmless, I'm sure one or two are right on.
Dannylonglegs Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Wow, I knew a cruise was a bad Idea. I've been sea-sick all morning. Eggs Benedict are the last thing my tummy needs.... ugh... Vacation... At least I didn't miss much, and it seems that much of the talk has been largely inane. My number is 4644, which correlates to a Town set, but I doubt that the numbers mean anything. that would really be unfair. Ah well, I can't wait for furry night! I think I'll dress up like Saemus the Sheepdog. I hope I brought the costume!
Tamamono Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 *hair flip* What angers me is that I'm probably going to be lynched for something I can't defend myself over, and something that I had no control over. Do I care about being lynched? No, just give me a reason to defend myself, instead of saying "Oh, well you have the scariest number, so we'll vote for you." PirateDave has just "pinged" me in that case, perhaps he is trying to divert people away from his band of theives? The fact that one player said that he'd vote for you because of your set number doesn't mean that you'll be lynched. Take a chill pill, babe.
TheBoyWonder Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Actually, 9696 is a Lego set. First Lego League challenge 2010. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/9696_FIRST_LEGO_League_Challenge_2010_-_Body_Forward_v46
Piratedave84 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Woah, woah woah woah, false alarm, dudes. Just checked my ID again and now I see that my number is 4429. Swaggy. SNIP How convenient SNIP It's probably something like all of us that have town sets are town or something. Or Bob's Christmas list ended up in the wrong place. No that is VERY unlikely, it would be way too obvious. The numbers have a meaning of some sort but going as far as stating that it would determine affilitation, I don't think so I feel we may be reading too much into these numbers. Mary's passenger number (9696) seems to indicate that they don't correlate with lego sets. Any 4-digit number you can think of is bound to have a lego set that corresponds with it. While it is interesting that a lot of our numbers are linked to new recent sets, there are enough exceptions to the rule to suggest that this may just be a coincidence. Or Mary is lying .... which based on the numbers we have would be likely. Let's face it, not a single crew/passenger number (even the ones which were not divulged) correspond to LEGO sets; I don't think it's a coincidence that the numbers correspond to sets and therefore Mary's number is invalid or false. Here is another theory (sort of in the lines of Scott's) which implies that Mary's number is in fact 9696; what if passengers/crew without numbers or with numbers not corresponding with a set (any seet) are part of another faction? What angers me is that I'm probably going to be lynched for something I can't defend myself over, and something that I had no control over. Do I care about being lynched? No, just give me a reason to defend myself, instead of saying "Oh, well you have the scariest number, so we'll vote for you." PirateDave has just "pinged" me in that case, perhaps he is trying to divert people away from his band of theives? Overreacting much!!!! Funny you should say that; was it I who asked others for their numbers first? No, My enquiry was based on someone else's theory, I merely compiled the results. As for diverting the conversation ... You just brought the attention to yourself and then redirected it towards me .... talk about diverting the conversation you're acting weird ... Thank you for your reaction, you have now been nominated as my main suspect!!!! PING!!! - - - This came in as I was writting my reply: Actually, 9696 is a Lego set. First Lego League challenge 2010. http://lego.wikia.co...ody_Forward_v46 It's a very odd set though, it does not match/correspond to anything we have seen so far though. I am not saying you are lying, just that it's odd No that is VERY unlikely, it would be way too obvious. The numbers have a meaning of some sort but going as far as stating that it would determine affilitation, I don't think so I meant to write "now" not "no"
Adam Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I think that it is very unlikely that the sets correspond to allegiance, but I do think it's possible that they either: 1) have something to do with a daily activity or 2) are meant to throw us off and get us as suspicious of one another as possible. Furthermore, I suspect that some Thieves may have given us fake numbers instead of real ones, worrying that their numbers might somehow indicate their allegiance. I'm still holding on to my theory that the numbers will have some role in a daily event. Speaking of which, what's going on with this Fabuland party? I've never been a furry before. Sounds kinky.
CorneliusMurdock Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I agree that Mary's number seems off. All of the other sets have been normal retail ones. Have any been non-minifig ones besides Mary's?
Nightshroud99 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I think this might just be a waste of time, I have never been on a cruise before but if people were given passenger numbers and they were 4 digits they probably would coincide with LEGO sets. It's the same thing with forum member numbers, for people who have been on a forum for awhile. We have a lot city sets, me being a coast guard platform. Looking at who I am, this doesn't tell me anything about myself. Does anyone else get this idea when they look at their passenger number and who they are? Then, as Babs said earlier, now that there is a huge discussion about passenger numbers, people that don't have a town/city set will/might change their number.

Scubacarrot Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 It's interesting to me that people want to steer the conversation AWAY from these numbers. I don't think we should base everything on them, but we definitely shouldn't ignore them. Why would we get these numbers, which, with one odd exception, coincide with Lego Sets. if it doesn't mean anything? Answer: we wouldn't get them if they weren't going to be used/stand for something. It's not like we got a lot of other useless information as well, at least I didn't. They are good conversation material anyways. @Holly: maybe now they will change their ID number, but I don't think those who revealed theirs as non-Town sets early on would have been lying as they did not know of the 'connection' between the sets at that time. I think it's always good to assume our enemy is smart. I saw the connection right away, let's assume the Scum did too. Now we should just wonder what they mean, and until someone is dead, or we get some sort of activity involving them, I don't we can. It's entirely possible that scary/non city sets mean scum. It's unlikely, but possible.
ADHO15 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I think it's always good to assume our enemy is smart. I saw the connection right away, let's assume the Scum did too. I was originally looking for one that spelt 'scum' on a telephone dial pad. You make some good points, Lauren.
Scubacarrot Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 At this point it just seems so random. Mary's number is standing out, being a non retail set and all. Could it just have to do with sets that Mr. Bob owns? Is there a way to find that out? Most sets are also City, would it be so easy as City = Town? City = Vanilla townie maybe? I'd still like an explanation from Jordan and Bill. It's pretty impossible to check to see if you have a number and not seeing it, there really isn't much information there. So that was a lie.

I originally overlooked the number in my role PM, and it wasn't until after the number conversation started that I thought to go back and double-check. Mea culpa.
Bob Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 You may now vote. With 24 players, a majority vote of 13 is required. Stacy took the stage. "I'm looking at the schedule of events for future days, and it appears the numbers correspond with sets that the passengers will use for a building contest. Details on that will come later I assume." she said.
