Daisy: Any reaction to my ping about you?

I do, however, regret the appalling grammar on display in that sentence.

I no longer regret that my autocorrect call you a hoagie.

Awwwww fuck. How come I never remember to turn off my caps lock after writing goofy emails to the bf?
Sorry, folks.

Was not trying to shriek at you.

hOW COME WHENEVER I SAY SOMETHING ALL DISCUSSION STOPS?

I saw the move he was making before Epi died. Personally, I say well played. He wanted Epi out and he made it happen, either with a kill or baiting a kill. I can't say I am glad Epi is dead necessarily, but I'm impressed. Impressed enough to recruit him? Unlikely. I think too much like Golden, I wo...

Popping in while I take a 5 minute pomodoro break. This MP/Llama thing is loud, but I currently am not reading either player as bad. Llama is not able to be fully involved at the moment, which may explain the "weak" or "ridiculous" (according to MP) rationale for his votes, or ma...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77dtqOOaGLo Last family reunion. I love this video just so, so much (it made the rounds on another site I frequent yesterday). Not only is there adorable bear family holiday action, but there's also this super awesome distillation of this awesome little human family ...

Heyhey. Sorry I was a dickbird and missed the vote. I would have voted for Scotty for his seemingly nonsensical SVS contradictions. I'm not going to be super available until Tuesday, but I am staying caught up on reading, and will do my bestest to make meaningful contributions (and by "meaningf...

Actually, guys, this was my idea. The original point of the experiment was that someone had said to me something quite the opposite of what is being said here. They had an issue in a game I was not modding with someone, etc., not really any of anyones business :p But they said they would have felt ...

Argh, I can't even comprehend the amount of posting that's going on here. Two big things stick out to me, and I want to confirm that I share the suspicions previously raised. But I certainly think epi and I are not going to be on the same side at any point in this game. Recruiters would be daft to ...

Yeah, for me the anonyMOD thing just sort of removes the human element of interaction with the MODs (and in doing so works against the focus on personal interaction and community building that makes this site awesome, imho). Nameless, faceless, voiceless, identity-less MODs make me think that all th...

Just did a quick and dirty post-count check, and I need to add DFaraday, Sorsha, and Bass to my pool of possible vote-getters.

I think this squabbling over whether this is an LMS game or a civ-v-baddie game or a "factions" game (what even is that?) is just a matter of personal approach, rather than some sort of baddie plot to sow confusion and create chaos. I personally am more or less in agreement with Timmer tha...

Oh, I got it, old friend.
I think you know full well that our funny bones are perfectly aligned.

:googlyeyes:

Also, while I have no idea if Golden is bad or not at this point (though I lean towards "not"), I'm perfectly happy to vote out anyone at this request if they insist it would be "better for the game"

Ya know, all these years I've thought the damn word was "pendantic". Huh. I don't know what kind of weed y'all are smoking, but apricots aren't fuzzy. Where's Bob Saget and Dave Coulier when you need them? I literally ask myself this question at least once a day. In summary, I agree with e...

I feel unreasonably sad that I am not hypothetically invited to be on the imaginary Tranq/Typh/TH/apples/SVS superteam.

I have 5 tattoos. In order of oldest to newest, with hints to their significance: - a (cheesy, but lovely) quote about dance tracing my right hip bone (acknowledging a significant personal triumph/turning point) - the logo of my dance company on my left foot (which two other members of the company a...

I'm totes cool with "Station Eleven"! Not 100% sure I'll have time to be as active as I would have hoped (this semester may very well be hell for me), but I'll try to keep up and contribute! And I agree with SVS's desire that trollishness would be very unwelcome in this book club. Debate a...

I like JJJ's idea of having everyone state how they would approach recruitment, and it is veryveryvery interesting to me that everyone seems to be saying some version of "I'd recruit a good player who is generally under-the-radar". That is almost precisely the opposite of how I would appro...

Reywas / Roxy / Bea / any other original baddies from other RM games: Do you remember if you played differently than you normally would've when you were baddie leaders in RM 3? When I was Jelly King Earl, Supreme Lord of Purpleosity (I think that was my role...but maybe I was just an early recruit ...

This is not true, is it? Haven't all four recruiters (2 baddie and 2 civvie) had the chance to recruit once already? So really, there are 4 actual baddies in the game now, and four actual civs.....right?? Also, hi everyone! Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. It's super upper hella busy time here righ...

My arguments are never biased, they are based on reading his suspicious actions. Same here as back in Guess Who, the only two games when he was among my first suspects (if not my first). If you want bias, look back at him instead, always calling me bad off the bat, in the earliest games I played. I...

Can't believe I missed the sign ups for this!! *sobs* Got home at 1am from our internet-free month long travels, only to find that the game I've most been looking forward to FOREVER is all full and ready to go. *sobs even more* Please put me down as a replacement. :sigh: Have fun, everyone!!! I'm so...

I'm here, off and on. Based on what I've read and been thinking about, I'm most likely to vote fingersplints. Personally, I think all this talk about DFaraday is a distraction and seems too easy again, but I'll read the stuff on him over again anyway. Soooooo....if DFaraday is a distraction, who is...

Alanis senses the irony here. who's Alanis? :confused: fair enough. I've heard of her of course but I don't think I've ever knowingly heard a song by her. Methinks you're under the age of 25; possibly under 20 even. RYM seems to bring in folks from all over the world, so I figured it was just a cas...

So I have long promised to look back at Roger Rabbit to see if there are actually similarities between Ninja's posts there and her posts here, or if I've been misremembering/making false correlations. I won't quote lots of posts here, or go into too much detail (but I do encourage you to glance at h...

Do you not see this? Doesn't anyone else see this? This is the kind of BS that's been happening for DAYS. I could go through and pull so many quotes of people either totally disregarding any defense I have made, or actually agreeing with my defense but then backtracking and saying "but that to...

^^ That was directed at AngryNinja (

) because I actually want to listen to an answer.

What do you make of Golden's long-ago theory that the baddies, seeking to cover all their bases and maximize their chances at advantage, made sure to have voters in both the Boubil&Schonberg night poll options? Does this seem plausible to you? If so, who do you think of the limited pool of Les M...

Freaking Skybots. Freaking Froome.
Two more weeks of yet another snoozefest TdF that is a long, slow, uncontested ride to an inevitable coronation.

At least Bertie got the snot kicked out of him today! Small comfort.

God damn it :| @Scotty: Can you explain why this makes you think either I or splints is bad? I don't understand the reasoning there. Suspecting Bass doesn't make me bad, it makes me a civ who misguidedly wanted to lynch someone who was acting suspicious as hell. But if you have legitimate reason to...

Fuck, sorry I missed it. Was out witz my curling team adorer pué GLORIOUS VICTORY and celebrating our new rims as league champs. Drank too much must sleep. Joe.

I usually find complex games overwhelming and too fussy (translation: I'm neither clever enough nor attentive enough for hard and layered games) but in this case the individual win cons look incredibly cool to me, and I read Watchmen a few years ago and found it super compelling, so I'm very tempted...

I keep promising to look at Ninja's RR posts (where she was very Bad Baddie and would totally have gone undetected if I hadn't essentially had a role check on her) and try to articulate what it is about them that her posts in this game are reminding me of. I don't think I have time to do it today......

SVS, I am absolutely willing to listen to your fresh perspective. I agree with you that the Big Talkers (that's a compliment, not an insult) have some pretty well established suspect pools that they have been perusing doggedly, but just because they are the most vocal does not mean they are the only...

Totally spaced on the poll ending tonight. Would have voted Bass, not because I particularly think he's super bad, but mostly because I didn't like the "case" on Cobalt

I love this book!

This and "Alligator Pie" and "Mr. Tickle" were in constant rotation at our house when I was a kid.

I actually think that was a pretty great defense by Ninjigglypuff.

But now I don't know who to vote for.

IM SO CONFLICTED

Any thoughts on how long before the poll goes up? Should we give it another week or so to make sure everyone who wants to offer suggestions has time to do so? Or is that not enough time?

BR, I'm sorry that you're frustrated with being continually bandwagoned. :( I haven't played the last few games, so I didn't know that was a continuing trend. In light of that, I think I would interpret your posts differently (I.e. As genuine frustration and irritation, rather than manufactured ire)...

Fingersplints and Nutella would be my picks.

Mostly because they're two people who I currently think are civ, but if pressed couldn't actually give a reason WHY I think they're div.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting BR's tone and reading into her posts a manufactured and hyperbolic frustration that isn't actually intended (and I'm sure she will correct me if that's the case), but that's how they come off to me.

BR's responses to Timmer's case have been overtly dismissive ("all your little theories don't mean jack", etc.) and disproportionately angry ("The whole thing is giving me a headache", etch). The level of indignation and the attempts not the address the case but rather to belittl...

Imma vote for BR.

:sigh: I regretfully revoke my previous offer of best buddy-ness. We can obviously never speak again. Just kidding, of course! :P More Shakespearians and lovers of pre/early modern things around here is always a good thing.... even if they do unironically confess to liking Branagh. ;) Is Grad School...
