And llama, I enjoyed the brief introduction to minimalism, something with which I had no previous experience at all. And your post ending the game was top 2 in my favorite wrap-up posts of all time.

I would feel bad accepting the banner, since I did nothing, but since in doing nothing I followed the spirit of the game, I may wear it anyway. Thanks everyone!

That's true! I suppose I do deserve this win then. Lol.

And yes, I second Mongoose, very curious about the other favorite wrap-up post!

Wooooooooo! Wear that new banner with pride.

Done!

What a fitting banner. Lol.

Well, I'll be on vacation here in not too long, so I'll go ahead and vote just in case. I wouldn't want to miss the deadline after all of this time, lol.

Gleam and borokkuei still haven't shown up at all. I guess I'll vote borokkuei of the two because he's won a game and gleam hasn't. Lol. No idea how else to decide it and I refuse to "randomize".

Sorry, borokkuei (unless you're baddie), but it's all I have for now.

It is very difficult to discern anything worthy of a vote, especially this early. Good points illustrated there, both of you. Another thing to remember is that the baddie has no teammates, so there's no way to draw connections via voting patterns.

I think though, despite the fact that there are two players taking the game literally and have not posted ANYTHING and I applaud them for taking the game to its true level in that regard, that I probably will be voting for either of those, unless they show up before the deadline. It's what llama would want, and in lack of anything else better to go on. We'll see though.

Yay minimalism!

linki - Vomps and I have a little side project going on...if you know what I mean.

No, I know what you were saying. I guess it just kinda sounded to me like you were making up excuses for not being baddie and it sort of read as if you were saying it, yet while not innocent. IDK. Wouldn't vote for you based on that at all, just how it read to me initially.

Lol, I don't. How can you when none of the roles have anything going on?

Wow, that's intriguing! Care to elaborate?

Voting for Mongoose. There is one role with a power, and she seriously seems most invested in this game. So i am guessing she has the power.

Could be wrong.

Aww nuts. It's not me though. I'm just always super active in Llamafia Games.

Well, my experience of you is that you are always superactive in all games, not just those that Llama hosts. So ...I am OK with my vote

Just trying to play devil's advocate here... but why the hell would a one-man mafia player draw so much attention to him or herself?

Yeah, not a ton going on in this game if we aren't gonna play the mini-games. If I'm always like this in games, I'm not sure how that makes me suspicious. Just predictable.

Although I agree entirely with you and pity your position if you are a civvie, did the wording of this particular response strike anyone else as weird or is it just me?

Not jumping to any conclusions whatsoever, but curious who responds to this and what they have to say.

I'll take that as a nay.


It's a minimalist portrait of Brian Eno's lost goth twin, Brian Emo.

I am being silly, by the way, not sarcastic.

So how many weeks do we have left to vote, 2? I think there are still players who haven't checked in, right in the spirit of 4'33'', lol.

It's obviously a minimalist IKEA painting that Brian Eno caught a glimpse of while on his way to get a table top and a fistful of pencils, prior to crashing at Bowie's place in Berlin.

Genius. How did you figure it out????!

It's a good band though.

But yeah, I figured as much. I just wanted an excuse to musically reference and also post a minimalist post.

Another question~ what happens if we lynch the baddie Day One?

Then the game ends and the civvies win! But I really hope that doesn't happen...

Are you....pro-Baddie?

What kind of host isn't?

Lol.

Changing votes is allowed? Interesting!

Brian Eno is fucking awesome.

I'll be voting for the low poster around then, myself. Hopefully it's not me!

And I'll probably do this too. I know it's what Logan would really want!

But I'm not sure yet. Plenty of time to figure it out. But that said, I doubt I'll come to any conclusive decision.

Mongoose wrote:I know a good bit about minimalist art, but not music. Other than a few of the musicians who are also roles. Where is a good starting place. In other words, can I have a Music Minimalism 101 primer?

I'll let Logan do his job here, but I just have to say that Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich and Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass are essential listens for any music lover and fantastic minimalist music introductions.

thellama73 wrote:I have Winter Songs by Art Bears and a Fred Frith solo album, so I think I would enjoy them a great deal.

Art Bears is good stuff, but it's nowhere near Henry Cow level, IMO. I made sure to ask for the Henry Cow boxset for Christmas from my parents a few years back immediately when it was coming out. One of my favorite gifts. I haven't listened to it in too long really.

S~V~S wrote:Oh my, how unexpected. I have never seen Alex without his sock. I am not sure I will recognize him

I know, right? I'm not even sure I can keep this up; I might have to switch back. The main thing stopping me is that this is still Henry Cow.

I haven't changed my avatar to something non-sock for longer than like a few hours since 2008.

thellama73 wrote:I still don't have any Henry Cow albums! Which one should I get first? I'm thinking Western Culture.

You really can't go wrong with any of the four. I am an absolute diehard Henry Cow fan.

Knowing that you're well knowledgeable of and not averse to avant-garde music, actually, go with Western Culture. But then you'll want to get the other three. They're all so great.

Oh, that could definitely work. Fantastic album too.

I need a new minimalistic Henry Cow avatar. Though I do suppose my avatar is somewhat minimal.
