...are you Jill Stein? More importantly, why is your vote still on Rico?

Is that not essentially what all of the discussion about his gimmick has been saying?

I felt like you were trying to make a case out of it with this post:

I don't 'think' you are pulling something gimmicky. You ARE pulling something gimmicky. The questions are a) are you doing it by choice and b) if so, would it be alignment indicative.

To me, that seemed like you were calling his gimmick suspicious. I may be incorrect in that read.

1. Townie getting pressured by someone else, perhaps another townie (me and Epi respectively).
2. Baddie takes opportunity to promote that negative climate for the accused by throwing shade -- making up whatever he has to make up.

I say "perhaps another townie" in #1 because it strikes me as more likely that a baddie would be capitalizing on a townie being wrong than openly jumping on a bandwagon generated by his partner. For this reason I think leetic and Epignosis would make unlikely team mates if either of them is bad.

I agree with that read of unlikely partnership. And six posts (roughly three hours) between Epi's and leetic's posts can be seen as opportunistic. Interestingly, leetic also pressured MM to clarify his reasons for an Epi vote in his very next post. I doubt a baddie teammate would show two bits of positive association back to back, especially on Day 1.

Holy crap this game escalated quickly. Frankly, I don't know what to make of the Rico/JJJ fight. I think Scotty has the right idea with his sea lions and rocks metaphor. I also love how Scotty's read of me is literally just high

Gonna start with something comprehensible: leetic's very confusing accusation of JJJ.

insertnamehere wrote:So this is the post that has Leetic tied for first? Come on, attempting to defend me and attacking JJJ's gameplay without really throwing any legit shade on him does not a baddie make.
If you understand what he even said then please share.

I think what he means is... actually, I've spent five minutes looking at this and can't figure it out. Leetic claims JJJ won't do something, but the post he's criticizing doesn't have JJJ claiming an action. And we haven't gotten any clarification on it. Adding a vote to leetic for the moment for extra pressure.

I do think inh rushing to leetic's defense is a bit suspicious. Leetic's post may be hamfisted shade, but it was a clear attempt at shade.

He was a Louisiana politician and former Grand Wizard of the KKK. Endorsed Trump early on, and there was a big stink about it.

Golden wrote:I voted Pocahontas. I have no idea who Trump called Pocahontas, but the only other one I kinda like is "Crazy Bernie". Trump needs a new writer for his nicknames.

Elizabeth Warren, over her somewhat spurious claim to Native American ancestry on a college application, IIRC. You don't like Lyin' Ted? I think that one has a nice ring to it, kind of a band name. Lyin' Ted and the Texas Cheats!

Man, Gary Johnson is like, the opposite of a hippie. Besides the weed smoking thing

I'm hoping for Jill Stein and David Duke as player roles, because I like to eat popcorn and watch the world burn.

Scotty wrote:Also none of those 6 names have I ever heard for Trump. So I selected Pocahantas in commemoration of Justice Sotomayer.

Nicknames from Trump, not for him. But Low-Energy Jeb is by far the best. Gotta love old sleepy Jeb and his pocket turtles!
