Ah, so you'd change your vote to save yourself.

Okay then.

From your comment about spitting up sand, my thoughts are you could be Paulo or Vincent. I don't recall anyone else being around sand to the point it was in their mouth.

It is highly encouraged. Almost everyone else has.

Though tbh it probably doesn't actually matter if the baddies have roles to fake-claim as I believe was the case in the previous games. We can theorize as to which characters Golden might have left out of the civ pool this round, but based on season 1 I don't recall it being based on any predictable pattern.

So actually I kind of take back my inclusion of lack of claiming as a reason for suspecting llama and speedchuck as I don't think it really means anything (except perhaps the fact that it has been highly encouraged and they haven't gone along with it). But I still find them both suspicious based on their sorsha votes.

Lol, nice.

If he's Paulo and Quin is Nikki it feels somehow fitting that both of those characters were given to players who haven't watched the show Filthy redshirts

For me, if both Nikki and Paulo are both roles in this game, my tinfoil hat leads me to automatically assume one of them is bad and just a cover identity.

Wearing expensive clothes...

I just really dislike it when people put others in a lynchable position for lulz. Probably an artifact of when we did not have changeable votes.

I would never dream of telling you who to vote for, but DFaraday is almost certainly bad if you care about such things.

I would prefer not to. I have no idea what Lost is except I gather it's an obscure Australian TV show.

I'm Sun Kwon. None of my posts have anything to do with that, I don't think.

I was hoping my vote on SVS would do that, but alas. You picked the winning horse.

Gman, might you think the same of Sun and Jin? It was the case in season 1 (Sun was an impostor and Jin was civ). I know Jin is civ this time too (repeat role draw woohoo!) but the question is whether Golden would repeat an impostor.

Fabulous vote spread so far. Now, if three of the remaining four can all place their votes on a fourth option and the last voter throws one on someone for a single vote, that would be ideal.

I doubt it. That would be too much correlation.

For what it's worth, I correctly deduced that Michael was rife with potential for being a civvie-seeming role that could turn bad in Season 2. As far as repeat cover roles, I'd have to go back and look at who was in the previous games and what the cover roles were. Golden the Coward said in Season 2 that he randomized the Losties that ended up being cover roles. Once I know what all roles people are claiming, then I can let my tinfoil hat do some talking.

Also @llama at this point I assume you're trolling but Lost is neither Australian nor obscure, lol

How is this ideal?

Those who have their vote placed on me:

Is it because you don't like what my actions have been? Or because you think they come from a scummy place. Do explain.

Forcing a tie might be a revelatory event. What happens if there is a tie? The rules don't say anything about it. I think it'll do us a jolly lot of good to find out.

Personally, I think Llama looks scummier than you. He was the first to put a second vote on someone for a silly reason. I can't imagine someone being bad and piling a third silly vote on someone. That is why I voted for him, not you. But I have seen very bold baddies do very bold things to fall back on the wifom.

Are you a bold baddie?

Do you honestly think Sorsha is bad? If not do you plan to move your vote?

From my perspective, this whole bloody game is full of people I don't trust. If it weren't Day 1, I'd be going bonkers with paranoia right about now.

nutella wrote:Also @llama at this point I assume you're trolling but Lost is neither Australian nor obscure, lol

Well, no one will answer my questions about it so

nutella wrote:

thellama73 wrote:Quin is the only one in this game talking any sense, so I am following his vote on Sorsha.

Huh? Why? He literally said there was no reasoning behind that vote. Why follow it? I think Quin is civ, but that doesn't mean I'll blindly follow his vote. Do you have reasons to suspect Sorsha? I don't. But I have reason to suspect you.

*vote llama*


Also, have you hinted at your role at all? Even if you haven't watched the show you should be able to find a quote or something from your character (just the superficial information Quin found about his character was enough for us fans to deduce who it is). I may have missed something though.



On another note, I don't think I've ever seen DFaraday this active on a day 1, lol. Maybe it's because he's especially interested in the theme and the roleplaying/references, but it still feels unusual coming from him. But I do agree with his assessment of speedchuck's vote. I could probably just as well vote for speed since he has the same problems as llama. And his only attempt at hinting has been multiple references to the smoke monster. Not sure what's going on there. [/quotew]
The Island has revitalized me. It can work wonders for all of us. Also I am trying to mix up my game so that people can't pin me down to meta.

How's that? You call my vote opportunistic, but is it any more so than following a literally meaningless vote? That allows you to avoid any discussion or culpability by framing your vote as meaningless. Speed did the same.

Forgive me for nitpicking, but you actually have not asked any questions about the TV show Lost. Thus far, you have asked the following questions:

-What are we doing?
-Oh, I'm supposed to roleplay?
-Another shrimp on the barbie, innit?
-Why do we keep getting lost?
-What is left?
-Who would you prefer I vote for, SVS?

The only questions remotely pertaining to the theme is 'Why do we keep getting lost?' But that's not really related to the show because they didn't keep getting Lost each season. The got lost in the pilot episode and stayed lost until they made their way back to the Island. Those who returned were no longer lost because they knew where they were going.

Half a in your general direction.

And I will take you seriously if you give real answers and stop goofing around. If you suspect Faraday, then vote for him! You don't feel even remotely sincere to me, and you put someone you don't actually seem to suspect in danger. That concerns me. Even goofing around, when you are sincere this comes through. I am not seeing it.

I don't google things I can ask my friends about. And if I vote for Faraday now, I put my own life in peril, which I am not in the mood to do.

I don't like to bother my friends with trivia, so I Google things. It takes all types to make the world go around.

So you would rather leave your vote on the person who you don't actually suspect, instead of the person you DO suspect, and who you already named as your suspect? Becasue voting for the person you actually do suspect will get you killed, whereas just naming him won't?

I know you like to be quirky and quixotic and cultivate this image, but you make no sense right now. I am Okey Dokey with my vote.

If I move my vote and die, the game loses a civilian. If I keep my vote where it is, I don't know what the game will lose, but it might be a baddie. Math is easy and fun.

Frustration is setting in. I haven't felt this twitchy since I kicked heroin. Four players haven't voted yet and they are all among the bottom five in post count. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is a baddie, mates.

Dom, INH, notsawyer, Daisy- guys, where are you?

Of the three leading, I am most comfortable with a llama lynch. I am at work and can't post much more.

Voting llama

If three other people will vote for Faraday, I will join them, since he is an obvious baddie, but I'm not willing to go down with the ship just yet.

In the words of our president.

WRONG

Okay, I'll move my vote to DFaraday. That way when I die and flip Civ, SVS can be proud of me instead of saying mean things about me.

For the record, it's good to agitate people D1 IMO. Easier for everyone to get reads if some people are agitated.

Especially if the game is being overtaken by RP. (Not that RP is bad, but exclusive RP without scumhunting is not gonna win)

Could we please not vote Llama?

I don't like this part. It's a non-answer to a valid query.

Or to be more specific, it's an answer to a query that barely scrapes the barrel of what I'd expect to be made as an argument on the subject.
