Yeah Sophie, don't worry about it. Heck, some people disappear without even telling us about it

I like the cookie monster gif, Timmer.

He didn't have information on him, so while I respect llama's opinions, I didn't see his case as any less "crappy" than the case on him (as people called it). It doesn't mean Bullz can't be bad, and I am not as sure of his alignment as before, but I'm still not feeling what you allegedly are. So be incredulous as you wish, and I'll vote as I see fit.

This makes me nervous. You're acting like bullz was a main contender for lynch day 1,which isn't true. It was between epi and llama.

It was a reply to MM who was "incredulous". I didn't say that. I just hate it when people say "let's lynch someone already" like it's obvious that person is bad, which is what MM did. It's not obvious to me, and just because people say it like that, doesn't make it true (and that's why I brought the example from Death Note game).

#1106

I think you did kinda take that out of context, BF. I think the waiting has us on edge, Lol. We're all just a little bit jumpy.

#1107

I hope MR is okay.

Day 2: Luck Runs Out

Despite the mob mentality having a less than desirable outcome the first time around, the Central City PD knew they had a criminal in their sights.

Bass had just come back from acasino upstate, his fortune was less than favorable, so he grabbed dinner at a nearby restaurant, ate his fill, and ran without paying the bill.

Unfortunately, a camera caught Bass red-handed. The police were notified and on his drive home, lights began to flash behind him. Bass drove too fast, and his car flew off the bridge between Keystone and Central Cities. He was still alive after hitting the water, and he cried out for help. However, the citizens looking onward elected to simply watch him float down-river.

Bass_the_Clever has been lynched. He was Double-Down.

You have 24 hours to PM me with night actions

#1109

Thank you guys for the concern and for being patient. Didn't make it home until way too late last night, and I had to turn around an hour later and drive up to work. I'm posting from my Nook right now, so bear with me as I send PMs through the night.

Super sorry for the wait!

#1110

Huh. Guess that hunch of mine paid off.

#1111

If it were me, I'd go back and look at SVS and FZ since they both practically jumped down my throat after I voted Bass.

#1112

Well done DH!

#1113

Spacedaisy wrote:Well done DH!

To be fair, I'm hardly responsible for the Bass lynch being a success. I was just personally correct, which is an achievement for myself. Several others seemed to think he was bad.

#1114

Yeah, great job, DH! Really sharp baddie hunting, you caught him red-handed.

#1115

Ok, that last post was sarcastic, since I brought him up first.

But then I reread your last post, and you aren't taking all the credit anymore. So my sarcasm softened.

Same thing happened to me, except it was Rabbit that was trying to discredit the case.

For Reference, SVS practically tripping over FZ to get at the front of the "Save Bass" line.

I would like the answer to this. He's fighting pretty hard not to be cheated ( ) which feels pretty civvie-ish to me.

Yeah, FZ. I would like to see what he's talking about.

That might be true, but it's almost the end of the day, and with a lack of a good lynch candidate, there will be more gut voting than usual.

Damn, I need to make up my mind

linki: DH, what's his baddie game?

Why the ? How is this like his baddie game?

Turnip Head wrote:Bass you mentioned the 6 outsider votes but I don't see you pursuing that lead any further with specific suspects. That's why it feels like you're just casting a wide net and letting other players do the dirty work.
Do you rally think that's so odd for Day 2?

I am not sure on Bullz, and I don't think BF is bad. I am not seeing the case on Bass, either. Especially the way this lynch is forming up, this feels awful, lol.

Linki ~ last time we lynched Sophie for being too quiet, she was just a busy civ. So maybe that's it.

Linki~ why, LC?
Linki~ Thank DH. At least I can understand that, although I am not sure I agree.

#1119

Nice job guys. see you in the next game Bass.

#1120

Sweet!!!

#1121

I feel like there is a decent chance that Bass is Double Down, cursed himself, and is using it as a shout out to Blacksmith

To be fair, Timmer called the exact situation. That's gotta deserve some shout-outs.

#1125

Oh, and Magenta... good call on not saving him. It seems as though you are choosing to save your lynch save for a rainy day, or whatever... just want to remind you that it could mean the difference between Wally West chatting it up with you and Pied Piper... and Wally West killing you.

And I thought your vote was vague (and it WAS). Then when you explained it, I said, "Thank You DH" and never brought it up again.

Your enthusiasm in the matter was noted, and notably suspect, given the results of the lynch.

What enthusiasm? I thought your vote was vague. I said so. You are making it into something it is not.

#1129

That's true, S~V~S, and I don't find your questioning of DH to be suspicious. It's easy to drop "oh, that's his baddie game", but it's more of a test to get some details... I think you approached it the right way.

On the flip side, even though you were satisfied with DH, your vote post is more pro-Bass than any other player.

S~V~S wrote:I am not feeling any of the B-Boy votes.

I am going to vote for Turnip Head. I think his reasons for voting Llama were weak, I think his reasons for voting Bass are weak, too. TH takes voting seriously, and puts lots of thought into his votes when he's a civ, even if he does not post every thought. Todays vote i can get, he is working, he's is playing the Champs game, he's stretched thin. But his Llama vote was weaker than I expect from TH, even for Day 1.

I don't expect him to get lynched, but I want him to know I'm paying attention

It's anti-Turnip Head, which makes sense, because it's a vote post on him. You specifically mention two different things that I read as a Bass-saving attempt: "I'm not feeling any of the B-Boy votes" obviously includes Bass, but in a not-directly-referring-to-Bass kind of way, and then mentioning a short time later that TH's reasons for voting Bass are weak.

All of those posts of yours I quoted wherein you jump down my throat regarding my Bass vote occur in a very short window of time, thats what I mean when I say you enthusiastically (uh oh LC, Those adwhatevers are back) defended Bass/attacked my vote.

"Enthusiastically" in this context is appropriate. It maintains a function critical to the understanding of the independent clause. Carry on.

#1132

LC, I did not see the case on any of the three, really. So since the votes were so close, I chose not to vote for any of them. I did not feel any of them were bad strongly enough to commit to it in a tight vote. Two, not three, really, since BF was never as serious lynch contender as Bullz or Bass.

I also said that THs reasons for voting Lllama were weak. I thought I was seeing a pattern of weak suspicions, that, for me, characterize bad TH. So 50/50 for me this game, since he was right on Bass, wrong on llama.

Linki, yes, DH, and as soon as you replied, I sais "Thank You" and never mentioned it again. I thought you were being vague. I have no info, so while hindsight is 20/20, at that time, your vagueness caught my eye.

EBWOP~ just because a person is proven correct about a suspicion, does not make suspicions leading up to that point invalid. Had i known Bass was bad, then I would have lauded your wisdom. I didn't, so I questioned your vagueness.

Yes, DH, then when you FINALLY explained it, I said, "Thank You, DH" and backed off.

I was pointing out to LC other instances of your being Pro-Bass. Not just in your lynch vote post.

I understand, I realize now that I wasn't really looking for a defense, because it's easy to read as you portray it. It's probably that way, and it has a chance of being less than innocent.

Yes, there are some undeniably pro-Bass sentiments in those posts, which don't simply pertain to getting a clarification on your Bass suspicion.

#1139

What specifically is "pro Bass" as opposed to "not particularly suspicious of Bass" about these posts?

#1140

S~V~S wrote:What specifically is "pro Bass" as opposed to "not particularly suspicious of Bass" about these posts?

Calling him a civvie for one thing.

#1141

I said his fighting felt civvie-ish to me. It did. That isn't calling him a civvie.

You are stretching here.

#1142

Ask me if Bass has fooled me in the past. Ask LC; he saw Bass totally schnocker me in The Island game.

Literally defending him against TH.

There's a big difference between being fooled and actively, aggressively defending someone.

I don't even think Rabbit knows Bass.

But its difficult to say with certainty who would pick whom.
