I'm going to bed. I'll catch up with this tomorrow

You know, I've been in bed now for 2 hours. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was bringing my laptop with me. Good on you, ninja

I sympathize with Ninja.

The G-Man alignment discussion started out feeling to me like a really solid case, but as I thought about it more it got so WIFOM-y that I really can't make head nor tail of it now. I will say, though, for what it's worth, that every single non-civ role in this game seems pretty darn anti-civ, especially now that we know for sure Watchmen are civs. So saying you're not anti-civ = saying you're civ, in my mind. I don't think that would fool a lie detector test, but I also can't figure why he'd bother wording it so carefully. (By the way, as MM pointed out, the LD discussion seemed super superfluous. Who even brought that up?) I could potentially see myself voting there, but I can't say I'm fully convinced he's bad.

I do think llama may be onto something with Sloonei (mainly because of Sloonei's defensiveness), but I didn't really try to read players for alignment in Economics, so I don't have a strong opinion on his civ game. I'd have to read Economics again, and it's 100 pages so no thank you. But I don't see myself voting there either.

Good question. I noticed you were in rather a literal mood, and I saw an opportunity to feel you out, so I took it. Your responses made me feel a lot better about you for what that's worth.
So far I feel good about:
MP
Golden
Russ

and I feel bad about:
G-Man
Sloonei

DH's not feeling like doing a rainbow list is noteworthy too, though not enough for a vote yet. I know I am always a little more apathetic about baddie hunting when I am myself bad.

Everyone else has yet to make a strong impression on me.

This is weird to me. I mean, I appreciate the support and all, but I haven't really done anything useful yet. So that makes me a little suspicious of llama.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Did anyone else notice how Elo seemingly jumped onto a vibes-based suspicion of Sloonei (which I held), and then dropped it, after I dropped it? What do folks think of that? I'm not sure what to make of Elo right now.

I think Elo always does that. I also always suspect Elo in every game I play with her, and it's probably just confirmation bias talking, but I feel like she has actually been bad in most of our games played together.

I wrote each players name down, put them into a hat, shook it up, and began selecting names. As I drew names, I would gun-to-head assign a different smiley to each player. Here is my outcome.

I love this post.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Alright, I'm here. Who's around to discuss? I'm catching up now, shouldn't take long.

Liar! It most certainly will take long.

Wowzers.

Ok so I've definitely read over a third of the posts now and skimmed another third or so. So I guess I haven't missed THAT much. However, poll end in 20 minutes and I have yet to post anything.

ALSO: I will be out camping and hiking and whitewater rafting from tomorrow evening until Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to stay somewhat connected, but I'll be in the wilderness so I don't really know. Regardless, I'll be a full participant by Monday, assuming I am alive (both in game and in real life).

You mean the player whose posts can be read with the deepest voice or the player who writes the low-down meanest posts?

I believe the word you are looking for is fewest.

How did we not have a "reading posts in deep voices" contest in Economics?

Looking at you, DDL.

Oh, I can still vote. I choose NIGHT OWL II's HIDEAWAY, Epi.

It's about owls, it's a hideaway, and it's the nonconformist option. So it's perfect for me.

Sooooo the game started, and I worked all day.....

You guys do realize you averaged over a post per minute between 9:30am and 10am, right? And I haven't read the last 3 pages yet, but it's gotta be close to that for most of the evening.

MP has already demanded no less than 7 answers to questions from EVERY SINGLE PLAYER....and that was 3 pages ago.

Sheesh.


I'd have not voted Rorschach's journal. If he's all he made out to be, he'd write a shorthand or code known only to him in case it fell into the wrong hands.

Also, I have a policy of supporting policy lynches. Let it be known that I will bandwagon onto all policy lynches forthwith, henceforth.

Welcome new players! And new players who used to be old players before I was around. And regular players.
