Ooh, okay. That was both a...not confusing, quite, but really perhaps roundabout catch up? I'll try to explain what I mean with some thoughts and a vote.
First of all, although I was surprised when I actually saw the votes on sig (and the resulting lynch), as I read through his exchanges, I could see why others voted for him.
It pains me to say it (and it makes me want to keep a big fat eye on him), but I read Epi as civ. I feel like when I say that, I'm wrong, but I was right in at least one game off the top of my head (Frisky Dingo), and I'm getting the good vibes, so I can see why people would want to save him. The reasons to vote him (especially the ones like, "because of his punny story") looked terribly contrived, even by Day 1 standards.
Not gonna vote for Eloh. I don't even know where the case for that comes from. I see that this quotation is used as a reason:
Elohcin wrote:Wow, that's a lot to think about Epi. I especially like your defense in the end. So do you think SVS or MP could be bad based on your thoughts as to why BWT was killed and the fact that they were both on a past team who killed non-participants?
but it would be incredibly sloppy to just drop names like that, thinking that "no one would notice," and Eloh is not a sloppy baddie. I think she really did want to know, from the last post that Epi made about a mafia team who would kill a non-particpant, if the two people who are currently playing are on his suspect list. Looks logical, and I was wondering the same thing myself about Epi's opinon. The comment made me think.
Regarding those two in my own thoughts...I had thoughts as I was reading, and I really need to start having a tab open where I write these things down as they come so they don't fly away, because, alas, they have flown away. It'll come back to me, but I can only hold so many players in my head at once. I'm distracted by who I plan to vote for.
At first, I read Sloonei as playing a civ game similar to what I experienced in Bullets Over Broadway - a big aggressive, going after players, lots of inquiry - but even as I type that, I don't actually see it as I re-read and see what others have pointed out. It's not that I would expect that level out of every civ game he plays, but I'm seeing more of a contrived game, one where he appears to be making inquiries and baddie hunting, but ignores, perhaps purposely, glaring facts (e.g., the Fearless Leader shenanigans as pointed out by Epi), and votes all over the place for this reason or that, none of which are very good. I'm down with voting him today, and will.
