Don't let them bully you, Daisy. You take your time.

I already told you my list was based on nothing, but it's got people talking finally!

How do you know it's guaranteed not to catch a baddie?

I was referring to the "no lynch" option, for which Quin expressed a preference. If we don't lynch people, it's impossible to catch bad guys.

Has this ever landed you on a baddie? didn't you do this to lovedelic last game?

No, it hasn't. But a) there's a first time for everything and b) I never intended to keep my vote there.

I haven't been here, don't be assuming.

You think you're sooo cool....

Sorsha wrote: You don't like speculating but by saying you're 'betting it's not as simple as either of those' you are speculating. It's also an odd statement to make since heist games were designed around the simple basic set up that Mafia started out as so why wouldn't one assume it be as simple as one of those? Unless you know for sure?

I'm voting llama for the time being. It's a half pressure/half suspicion vote.

I think there is a difference. I have a long history of crusading against pointless speculation. "Maybe there is a seemer role!" "Maybe there is a recruit!" Maybe there is, but without evidence, it's foolish to pursue these avenues of discussion. In this case, I was asked a question about the distribution of bad guys to good guys. Based on my knowledge of the hosts, I said I doubted it would be that simple, especially given the closed setup. I gave no thought to the fact that the game was a Heist (I think I've only played one other Heist so far) and am still in basic speed game mode. I don't think what I said was really speculation, it was refusing to commit to a belief that there are either 2 or 3 well-defined bad guys.

Llama- is it true that it was your first time ever making a rainbow list like sig said?

I agree with pressure votes on wilgy, I guessed him as Mafia fairly early in the last heist game so hopefully I can get an early read on him in this game also.

I don't think it is my literal first time, but I do it infrequently. It's not a typical tool for me.

Why not? I was bored.

We've got a little discussion going on the other two, so let's not leave out SVS. Why her?

Again, no reason, pure gut. Although proper context requires me to tell you that SVS and I have a history of always thinking the other one is bad, and usually being wrong.

sig wrote: @Llama I agree with you his reaction has been weird, it is suspicious, though you doing a rainbow list for the first time ever is also strange, what prompted you to do this. However, I rarely commit to agreeing with someone to early you have to earn my trust and so far I don't trust anyone.

I think you answered your own question there.

Bullzeye wrote:Oh, Llama you were referring to your own post? If I'm sweating it's because I've got the flu. I don't care about my position in your rainbow list, but you were crying about nobody responding to it so I offered an explanation as to why that might be.

I'm sorry you have the flu. Please get well soon. I like you as a person even though you are probably mafia.

sig wrote:Got a minor ping on Nero, and I don't like that Wilgy hasn't addressed the votes on him yet that is strange. I'm very confident that I've got a good gut read on G Man though he hasn't posted any memes yet.

@Llama is your post pure gut based or did you take posts into account as well?

@Bull's why did you think Llama's vote was shifty?

It's pure gut based/based on nothing, but I like that it is starting to cause Bullz to sweat. Makes me wonder if I struck close to a nerve.

What is there to say to your rainbow list? It is a list of names. You didn't offer any elaboration on anything so it's hard to offer commentary.

Also G-Man has a very interesting definition of having been absent. I was posting through day 0, which was a quiet day where not much happened, and was in bed for the first 9 hours of today. It's not like I'm a no-show.

Are you starting to get worried, Bullz?

DrWilgy is trying to play it cool. Too cool.

I have decided that I like Nerolunar. Welcome Nerolunar. I am also displeased that my rainbow list didn't generate much response. I am following Sloonei and switching my vote to Wilgy, because I colored him red and he didn't seem to mind.

I can say that this is normal for Quin and not indicative of alignment.

Don't worry, I'm not going to keep my vote there.

I think I'll do a rainbow list, since I never do one, and since it will be based completely on gut reads at this point, and because it will annoy people.

People I feel good about:
Epignosis
Sloonei
G-Man

People I feel neutral about:
Bubbles
Quin
Sorsha
Sig
Spacedaisy

People I feel bad about:
Bullzeye
SVS
DrWilgy

I'm voting for Quin for wanting to vote for the only option guaranteed to not catch a baddie.

I'm voting for G-Man because he was rude to hippies.

You may insult llamas. Still safe.

Llamas are insensitive, rude, and smelly.

I'm an anti-government/establishment anarchist, but I am not a hippie.

Also, as I explained in the sign up thread, I am almost exclusively attracted to Aries ladies, so that is where my vote goes.

Your mustache is larger than I've seen on any hippie.

That's because hippies are pathetic losers.

Neither. I'm betting it's not as simple as either of those.

Interesting. I could see that. Do you have any particular thoughts?

Not really. I just don't like speculating on things we have no way of knowing. Like Sherlock Holmes said, if you form a theory before the facts are in, you get committed to it and start twisting the facts to fit your theory instead of the other way around. I think it's dangerous.

What do you reccomend we speculate or discuss then good Llama?

The weather has been pretty nice today, so that's something.
