Looks like speed gave scotty back the one he gave to epi.

I’m not in this jury? I’ve votes guilty every time I’ve been on.

[VOTE: Disapprove] aubergine

Who even put this jury up? It's a terrible jury. I've never seen such a bad jury. Sad!

I meant approve or disapprove.

How are you going to vote, daisy?

I think he’s bad so he probably knew he was right.

That’s interesting. It wasn’t me who said not guilty, I swear. I guess DH is right about a float.

Also, do I get to vote on my own jury?

I’m not as magnanimous as scotty. I’d be adding myself anyway. May as well see how this team performs. I wouldn’t have removed ed though - if he’s bad and the plan for the baddies was to pass the first jury, I bet he’d include more than just one baddie to seed it well. I think he’s the most likely of the four to be town.

Never mind though, let’s see how this one goes.

Most likely? What am I, chopped lover?

Liver

In your line of work, you’re way more likely to be chopped lover than chopped liver.

Thinking about this.

On one hand I think the same team is what we want. On the other I’m up next and I’d definitely sub myself in as well.

[VOTE: Disapprove] aubergine

Sure, there could be floaters. But I think the best way to test for sure is to put the same team up. I doubt the baddies will tank the first two juries, so if they both pass we are on to something.

Well I might have voted approve if I'd known there'd be an abstain rule. Never mind.

But I don't think we should we trying to play the slowest game of Avalon in history either.

Sure, I don’t either, but I don’t know what DH really intended with omitting Mp.

What do you think of putting Mp on, Golden? If time was a non factor

If time was a non-factor, I'm not in a position to say anyone is a bad pick yet, but I like a jury with me on! MP is as good as any.

But I disapproved the current jury because it had him on.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 3:20 pm I think Golden made a good point. I wouldn't want him on a team if he's busy.

Why should he being busy make him a bad person on the mission? There’s no time limit to vote on a jury

Unless you both know something I don’t

Just that waiting around a day for MP doesn't seem like the best use of our time. I take your point though, I thought we had a 12 hour limit for all of these things but if there is none it doesn't matter so much.

That's the problem he's finishing his dissertation today. He can't probably vote at all.

Not MP, not today. Pick a different fourth.

[VOTE: Disapprove] aubergine

I think MP finishes his dissertation today. I'm not going to agree to a team with him with him in it just in the next day or so in case he can't participate.

I do like speed's idea of 'just getting on with it' but agreeing to a team with MP in it isn't going to do that. I'm still honestly not sure why we wouldn't have just approved speed's team, the whole 'avalon meta' thing confuses the hell out of me.

I wasn't even planning on approving my own team

Ew. Virtue signalling, anti-town play. Any team with you on it (if you are town) it statistically more likely to win than a team without you on it. This is not ideal play. It just is supposed to look good.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 12:08 pm I will approve (starting next vote) Any team that does contain scotty but does not contain Speedchuck

Ew. Arbitrary choice, anti-town play. Because I'm town.

As Luke Skywalker once said, "Wow, Impressive. Every word you just said was wrong."

And then he died.

I think this bird has already flown.

I’ll [VOTE: Disapprove] aubergine since it’s what the cool kids are doing.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:56 pm Typically approving a jury/team right off the bat, particularly one that you aren't on, is seen as suspicious. I got chewed out by the online gamers that I played with for doing that.

I don't know anything more about this jury than any other potential jury. Approving off the bat feels like Marmot behaviour. Why is it seen as inherently bad?

OK, so even the idea of 'strategy' or 'random' sucks and should be seen as automatically suspicious, right? (Not speedchuck in this case since he didn't know ahead of time). People should be forced to choose organically.

Why are people disapproving? Question, why would we disapprove generally?

To grant other people the opportunity to be Head Juror (and submit their picks and provide more info)

Oh - I can see how there's information there. But if we planned disapproval ahead of time the info would be corrupted. So you can really only react.

Wow, that happened fast.
