@Kate: Were there missing PMs from last night?

Might also mean he was Indiglo~

And each game is different, so comparing this situation on Day Two to MOTU is somewhat disingenuous.

So is saying I have "tunnelvision" for suspecting the same person two days in a row. I really feel that Llama is bad! not sure how that is tunnelvision, any more than those thinking Epig is bad 2 days in a row is tunnelvision. This is why I hate Jargon-y names like "tunnelvision" and "bandwagon" etc. because they are ways to put a baddie spin on normal mafia-playing behavior, and to make people look bad for nothing.

I have to do a quick reread and catch up I just got home from work, and Yay, lots of discussion.

I don't think so. Who do you think you are? Just vote for me and get it over with!

I was really trying to give Snowie the BOTD, but do comments like these read as baddie to anyone else or is it just me?

I'm starting to think my paranoia yesterday regarding house was misplaced and we might have found a baddie option in ship. I'll go back to studying and think on it. Thoughts from others that don't contribute to the back and forths would be welcome because I'm getting tired of reading those. No offense to any of those people, they're just clouding my thought process largely and I think they're mostly due to personality clashes and unfamiliarity with each other.

And does anyone else think that SE's vote for He-Man is weird? Not suspicious, really, but just weird.

Linki with Snowie, so are you going to talk to me or her?

I am assuming this means we can't discuss what happened due to the Day 0 poll one way or the other.

Now this is interesting. Indiglo seems to have gotten a PM from Kate after the Day 0 poll. I certainly did not get one.

Hmm.

How do you get that from her posting something from the Host Rules in response to MP asking about it?

I don't see why you would bring up not being able to reproduce host PMs if you didn't receive a host PM.

But Dex is right, quantity over quality.

Oh my gosh, quality over quantity.

What is up with me and confusing my words suddenly..



Okay, I'll be honest, this isn't sudden at all. >.>

Alright babes

@snow dog, I said epig was being hypocritical because he is willing to punish the low posters in this game but not the game he is hosting. I find it strange. I realise its still continuing a cant really be discussed but since its obvious I felt a need to say it.

So epig why punish the low posters in this game all of a sudden?

Linki

I know I said we may want to lynch Snow Dog earlier, but there were much fewer posts at the time and he seemed to be the only one (other than low posters) that we could point our finger at. However, now I am being pinged by He-Man. He mentions that Epig is being hypocritical by wanting to punish low posters here (by voting for one of them) but does not punish them in MOTU which he is hosting. Obviously, as a host, Epig must stay neutral. He cannot punish low posters in MOTU. He can, however, look at low posters in this game as trying to fly under the radar (which is what I think many baddies will do). I think baddies will do one of two things - be a low poster to try and fly under the radar or come out aggressive and pointing fingers for no good reason just to try to get the attention of players off of them while keeping their post counts up. I think that He-Man is doing the latter. I also feel bad for LT. He-Man seems to defend her a good deal as a low poster which makes me think that he may have BTSC with her which would mean she is baddie as well. Way to call out a teammate there He-Man.

Er...so am I. My brains would have been on the buffet too, so RIP Stevie.

Does this mean another choice might have been superior? I don't know. I am considering the idea that Stevie would have died no matter what, and that this was merely (or mostly) a matter of choosing how. A way to spur discussion. But Kate said there is info, so that must be taken into consideration.

What are your thoughts, Robert, on how Day 0 went down? Do you think anyone (or more than one player) seemed to be pushing any particular option in a way that caused you to notice as suspicious?

That being said, I think the discussion from the end part of Day 0 through the rest of Day 1 might be more telling on its own than just the Day 0 discussion, but I would like to re-read things again. I noticed a few others said they tend to perceive the push for house as civvie, but I'm not necessarily convinced. Was it Russ who said so many people agreed and thus people wouldn't be as gullible? That was an interesting point, not one I necessarily agree with because I have seen boon polls where the baddie option was overwhelmingly voted for. I think it's a combination of (1) what llama said earlier about house seeming the most safe option, based on how it was portrayed in the host post, (2) in addition to particular logical game-based arguments for it, was what might have pushed it so far ahead. What I wonder is just if it was indeed the baddie option, coincidentally, and if anyone eagerly hopped on that bandwagon without giving much of a reason. I'm actually thinking that might be more likely as suspicious currently than someone actively seriously arguing for house (if it is the bad option, assumption).

And all of THAT being said, I don't necessarily think it was the baddie option, so that may easily be moot. I think what's more notable is what seemed to develop from how people have reacted to Day 0, to each other, etc.

LittleTiger wrote:I have just read through Day 0 and what struck me was Snow Dog pushing for Ship and twisting Roxy into a pretzel. Epignosis voted Ship early. Then, FH who really DID push for ship and made all kinds of logical reasons why. Next was BWT who made a remarkably similar post as he did in the MOTU game wherein he calls someone OOT. MP wanted to vote for Bank but "slipped" in the poll and voted House.

Now I will read today's posts....

I don't know how many times I will have to say this. I didn't push for ship. Never. I voted ship. That's all.
