Yea, it should have been you.
I guess I'll humor you and ask why, though. Just to see what you think.

Why so you can snarkily disagree with everything I say, then put me down?

My boys are 17, 14 and 14 now. My adopted daughter gave me a beautiful granddaughter who I am raising. She's a doll.

What's up with you guys?

I know you didn’t ask me but that’s a big family you’ve got! I’m always amazed at how those of you with kids can still take time to play this silly game on this site. Kudos to you

I definitely want to know. Do you have dogs? I also have 3 big dogs that I got before I realized I'd be raising another infant

Ive also got a step daughter from my first marriage. Shes all grown up now but we are still besties

Yeah, the wife and I got a little angel who is ~2 years old. We figured before even entertaining having a child we’d want to do a trial run with a dog first. She’s a little pumpkin and keeps our hands and hearts full, and is basically our child. I can’t imagine having kids on top of that.

My grandmother had a habit of adopting grandchildren. I call it a habit, because it really was a hobby of hers. It felt like every 3 weeks she’d meet someone at her church that could use a little extra love in their life. I just went to her 90th birthday party and she told me she has 38 adopted grandkids. That’s on top of her 6 real children and the mass of underlings from there. I don’t even know how that’s possible.

Meanwhile my dog wants me to throw the ball and I’m tooo tiiiiirred

your grandmother sounds like a wonderful lady.
Kids and dogs are possible, believe me. At one point I had a 3 year old and newborn twins and an ancient beagle named Lola.

Not to mention earning your JD and then your career!

Lets not forget your unforgettable performance in Thomas the Tank!

I love you, Bea. I also love that you refuse to qualify me as old because you and I are the exact same age. I've decided you're right, my boys are still 8, 5, and 5.

Splinty!!! Give Keys a big ole Kate kiss for me.

Low on a rainbow list means bad or good? So the top is the most or least suspect?
Top (colored green) is most trustworthy. Bottom (colored red) is least trustworthy.

Thank you.

PS, hi there Llama. Long time no see.

You consider making a VC post as civ behavior? Just to be clear what you're saying here.
Yes, you are correct
Wouldn't it make equally as much sense that a NON civ made one? Whether for informational purposes, to gain favor with the thread in general or, most importantly, to appear civ?
Everything is possible but I went with my gut there

I am always posting my ideas to check l them with everyone

Duly noted.

Some of these rouge votes aren’t great especially not liking Scotty vote on Lorab given that she said she’d be less around.

I also don’t like the two votes on Eloh I definitely think she’s a civ right now and was the easiest band wagon vote

I agree with this statement 100%

My gut is telling me to stick with Scotty for now. As I said earlier I feel like he threw the bea vote in there to maybe get a train going masked as a joke, but then backed up and jumped on the Elo train hard. So hard, she's now listed as "scum read." There is also a post where I feel like he may be distancing from her, maybe he knows she's civ, or maybe he knows she is bad. That's enough for a day 1 vote for me.
Sorry about the cold. It’s definitely that season. My wife got Covid this past week and it’s been super mild for her but I know it could have been so much worse

Quick question: did you read the whole thread and decide to just settle on me? This just feels like a lazy tunnel because it’s convenient based on a couple pages of back reading. And if it IS that, no judgment. But I’m getting the impression you did more than that

Well IMO convenient would be hopping on her and jumping on Elo. I have read and posted what I feel is my best impression of what is going on.

I will say, however, that I've never played with you before so have no idea of your style and that I like that you confronted me and didn't just blow me off in a one line post as someone who had not posted too much and then hoped I'd go away again lol

Nice to meet you and play with you!

I think healthy suspicion is healthy, but just want to amend your narrative- I was the conductor of the Elo train- I didn’t jump on.

What is with this distancing idea Quin and now you have?
Does that mean you also think Elo is suspicious?

Hello new Friend!

It could just as easily be that you KNOW she is not bad, and are therefore backing off. Like I said, day one - don't have much of a read on Elo but her comment about marrying into intelligence did make me lol

But you have enough of a read on her to offer that I could be distancing from her.

Correct, because my gut feeling is about YOU, not her.

I’m rarely right on my D1 reads, so to have others backing me up makes my mind tingles crinkle. Time to see what others are seeing too

Here is the quote that should have been in my last post.

OH noozz my vote for Elo may make me look bad...let me distance myself...

I'm here and I'm reading, I have a bad cold...I'm typically not a quiet player at all, but I spent most of my day yesterday sleeping.

I"m not in love with this reasoning. She's always cheery tbh and what does starting off with a quote have to do with anything? Even for day one this seems to be an attempt to be funny but at the same time cast suspicion. For now, I"m "voting Scotty" but that is not a firm vote at all. I'm going to keep reading.

PS its Bee.

Scotty wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 10:39 pm I voted bea because
A) she is extremely cheery
B) she is the first in the poll
C) I don’t know if it’s pronounced “bay” or “bee” or “bah-ee”
But mainly e) her first post was quoting another post, which is suspicious.

Boom! Roasted.

thellama73 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 3:38 pm I am also getting a slight case of the willies from Eloh. Nothing I can put my finger on, but I feel like her posts more resemble her baddie game so far. Maybe it’s the defensiveness.

I also want to hear more from Quin. I usually expect more from him, and so far he has almost exclusively posted jokes.

I really wish I remembered people's "games" better than I do.

Is there a rule about editing? Also, can someone for the love of god show me how to double quote. I never figured it out before and I still can't.

One of mine is months away from being an adult
