Balaam wrote:Who wants another bodacious Balaam list? My thoughts on people:
ABSALOM: I think the reason people latched onto him today is because of his 'bah' stuff and the Negative Nancy attitude. I agree with others that it sounds manufactured, leading me to believe Absalom was hit by some kind of curse. I don't feel comfortable voting for him today because of this. I'd rather we confirm it with him Day 4.
Agreed
BALAAM: This cat is totally chill. No worries about him at all. Plus he's got a mighty fine ass.
DAT ASS!!His lists are cool too, but, whatever.
BATHSHEBA: There's a chance Solomon was onto something with her. There's virtually no substance to any of her
posts. Day 2 she says she is wary of voting for Cain, then says his lurking makes her wary, and then gives a crap reason for voting for Cain. Maybe it was a throwaway vote because it was pretty obvious Cain was going down at that point but she has not contributed anything of value to this game, missed a vote, and made a weak vote. Worth hearing more from her, frankly.
I would need more input from her to decide here.
JOB: The Uzziah obsession is a bit annoying and it was intriguing to see Paul turn on him after they were pretty tight Day 1. I'm not ready to vote for him yet. I have a theory about him but I can't elaborate just yet because I don't want to feed him any ideas to fake.
LOT: Neutral but wary. I think he latched onto Absalom's PMS a little to much today. I'm also curious about this line:
Lot wrote:This is the only time I will be talking in the thread today, so I'm going to make it count as much as I can. Expect a lot of words.
Does this mean he's away or he can only post once? I'd like to find out.
I don't know if he's been genuinely busy, or if he's trying to dodge my response to his Absalom posts. But I may end up throwing a stone at his head today. See my previous posts for the why.
MARY MAGDALENE: No substance, voted hastily Day 1, missed a vote Day 2, responds almost only when she's addressed directly. Very succinct and vanilla posts. Very, very blendy.
Bandwagon votes Day 3 (if you can call a second vote a "bandwagon." I'd like to hear more from her, but I may look in her direction in the future.
PILATE: I'm curious about him. No substance all game and today he gloms onto what I view as a weak case against Rachel. Seems he goes whichever way the wind blows.
I heartily agree about the case on Rachel and her voters.
RACHEL: I see nothing wrong with her apparent flip-flop on me. Lot was suspicious of me Day 1 but has warmed up to me and my lists. She just hasn't said much about why other than that she thinks I may be a certain player, which gives her a little more confidence in my style. I appreciate that she's been trying to drive discussion. We need to start doing that.
Not exactly sure why yet, but I totally trust Rachel so far...
RUTH: I'm reserving judgement until she finally answers my question. Was she just silenced Day 2 or was she blocked from voting as well?
Same.
UZZIAH: Neutral. I still think he's just messing with us one way or the other. Good or bad, Heathens are probably hoping to use him as a smokescreen.
I realize I'm kind of defending right now. But this could definitely change depending on future circumstances
