Dom I don't even want to dignify that with a response. Rude tbh. Having studied linguistics does not automatically mean I should write perfectly. Sometimes I use vague or hedgey words, that's just how I am. Sorry for not living up to your expectations. But you still didn't even point out what specific vague language use you were referring to. I really don't think I've been very vague at all this game compared to some other games I've played. Show me specifically what bothered you. Also, you didn't even acknowledge the point of what I said about that not making me bad.

I have described to the best of my ability why I suspect DF. He is not playing the way he usually does, and he comes across as more aggressive in a way that does not feel genuine to me. I don't know what you mean about "reproducing clueless behavior."

If you wanna lynch me based on my lazy, gman, that is fine. Just don't expect scum. And please don't force another tie.

nutella wrote:As I said earlier, he's usually a much lower poster, though I suppose he does occasionally get invested in discussion (I don't specifically remember any alignment-based meta differences tbh). Something about his engagement in this feels insincere and/or overblown.

nutella wrote:I think I'm getting a worse feeling from DF than from trev in this exchange. He seems opportunistic and heavy handed in a way that doesn't feel normal for him. Idk, maybe he's onto something and I'm picking the wrong side, but I'm putting a vote on DF for now because he just doesn't feel right.

That's so Season 2.

Also, why did you vote Nutella?

For her potentially two-way post:

nutella wrote:Hm, I wonder if Juliet is a regular civ this game or not. In season 3 she pretty much started out as one of the bad guys and then defected to the losties. My instinct is to trust Epi and assume Juliet is a civ role, since it would be a weird/less "safe" role to set up as a fake claim.

Sorry Quin, my vote had bollocks to do with you.

It may be two-way in that I expressed a kind of internal dialogue but within the post I settled on thinking Juliet/Epi is more likely civ.

It's a two-way post if you are a baddie. If you're revealed to be mafia, then this comment is a subtle early blurb that will be scrutinized when ISO'd. If you are bad, this comment is either an attempt to set up Epi, a good civvie player (despite what happened in Blue vs. Red), or you are establishing WIFOM for protecting a teammate by suggesting he is civvie now.

If you're a civvie, then it's just an odd and flawed comment to make. I may or maynot be willing to lynch you to find out.

I don't understand how I'm ??? at all.

Funny that you didn't bother correcting my false assumption that INH was Juliet. I would have hoped you'd be more forthcoming than that. Perhaps you're not one of us, but rather one of them, hoping for me to discredit myself on a false assumption. Curiouser and curiouser.

G-Man wrote:Fun stuff. Didn't see that one coming.

Linki: Llama moved his vote to speedchuck with about 30 seconds left. I caught it on a refresh and countered it by switching my vote to DFaraday, thereby preserving the tie between Llama and speed chuck.

Double linki: tough break mate.

G-Man wrote:For real though, we should tie this poll up to see what happens, mates. Depending on the outcome, I have a plan.

S~V~S wrote:I wonder if Sorsha noticed she had three votes when she was in here.

One vote on a person for a silly reason, ha ha lulz. Dropping a second vote on someone for a silly reason, not cool. Dropping a third vote, what baddie would do that?

I hope to see votes moving there or better reasons put forth.

So dropping a temp vote on Llama for lulz. If he takes his vote more seriously, I will too.

insertnamehere wrote:If I'm getting lynched over controversial LOST opinions, might as well get them all out of the way now.

The flash-sideways wasn't a bad idea, just poorly executed. If episodes 1-13 of season 6 were just Island-based action, with no flashes to anything, and episodes 13-16 were just flash forward stuff, Season 6 would have been stellar.

Jack should have died instead of Juliet at the end of Season 5, and appeared sporadically throughout Season 6 as a ghost, with Sawyer taking his place as instigator of the war against Flocke.

Sayid should have had waaay more screentime.

I'd sacrifice the following characters for more Mr. Eko: Jack, Kate, Juliet, Lapidus, Miles, Charlotte, Rose, Charlie, Claire

If Jack died in Episode 1, and reappeared creepily throughout the show, LOST would be better.

The show shouldn't have tried to be half existential mystery, and half sci-fi adventure action. It really should have just picked one. I would've preferred the former.

The Leftovers is a better show than LOST, and accomplishes what LOST set out to do in a much more intelligent way.

You all every Butties...

No, in between gazing adoringly at my baybeeee, I seem to recall an occasional "uzzers" especially in the earlier seasons when his english was worse. Udders came after his English improved.
