Not sure if I feel proud or embarrassed.

It was Golden's idea, I just did the legwork. But I like them and thought it was a fun idea!

LOL, neither did Austin? I've been feeling really tired lately.

I was pretty confident in SVS being civ until the following post. But I didn't read it until we got home from Austin, and neither did Austin. That said, I was pretty sure Epi was bad too, from the time just before I died on. I wouldn't have called Dom, but that is because frankly Dom, you are so far off your norm I couldn't figure you out and it wasn't like a meta change, I just chalked it up to real life stuff or something.

Speedchuck, you are doing a super job of being sincere. I am having a hard time thinking you could be bad.

So at this time I am gonna vote for Sorsha, becasue I honestly don't think Epi or Dom are bad. If one of them is, it is more likely to be Dom, though. But I feel better about him than about Sorsha, I guess.

So I am gonna vote now, after I walk the dog I will eat in front of the computer.

Grades were due this week and I took my wife out to our first date in three years.

I refuse to lynch you today for that reason, lol. I'm glad you guys got a date night.

G-Man, I did not use being busy as a shield in Season 2 that I recall. In fact i remember working very hard that game and effectively pulling the wool over people's eyes. I recall being pretty active. I wish you didn't act so shady for a civ, because you are only setting us up to fail by misrepresenting things like that.

I was originally against a DF vote because I thought perhaps his higher level of activity was NAI, probably more to do with the theme, but he has taken the theory that there must be baddies in the llama voters and run with. I foresee his vote landing on me and you guys are going to be very disappointed when I flip vanilla civ. I'm not liking what I have been seeing from DF this last cycle. SVS summed it up well when addressing his question to her.

I voted llama because he and a few others jumped on Sorsha for no reason early on. I couldn't see where the Sorsha stuff even came from. I didn't, and don't believe nutella is bad. I didn't at the time believe DF was bad. So who should I have voted for? Speedchuck? I barely know the guy and have never played with him. I don't like to vote out someone I have never played with before on Day 1. I didn't strongly suspect llama, but as I recall I didn't feel better about the other wagons at the time. Don't expect more thought out of that, the game started at a bad time for me, and I probably shouldn't have even signed up since I have been working on knocking out some projects for the site and a couple personal creative projects as well.

This is tough because I'm honestly not feeling SVS as bad either. So that leaves me with who, Sorsha? I don't know how I feel about that option either seeing how Day 1 developed. I have to go to work once MP gets home with my car, I'm going to toss a vote out for now. I may change it from work, I'm not sure how confident I feel I just want to get a vote on the board in case I can't get back here in time. For now I'm voting DF.

Can you explain why you think that? If there is, it's not me. Can't speak for the S-ladies.

Just numerically speaking it's not a bad shot, I mean a third of the players were in that list of voters. That said, I don't believe you are bad and I know I'm not bad. That leaves me with Sorsha and SVS.

There goes my eye candy. Sorry to see you go Quin.

That thought was kind of irrelevant when I realized that speedchuck did not leave his vote on Dom, he ended up voting for notsawyer.

And I have clearly been in my own tinfoil land.

I do not believe nutella is bad. In fact I very much feel like nutella is good. I could absolutely be wrong, but it's the one read I have that I feel mostly confident in.

Is it because you don't like what my actions have been? Or because you think they come from a scummy place. Do explain.

Personally, I think Llama looks scummier than you. He was the first to put a second vote on someone for a silly reason. I can't imagine someone being bad and piling a third silly vote on someone. That is why I voted for him, not you. But I have seen very bold baddies do very bold things to fall back on the wifom.

Are you a bold baddie?

Do you honestly think Sorsha is bad? If not do you plan to move your vote?

Am I a bold baddie? I could give you my metaread here, but it'd sound bad coming from me.

I suspect Sorsha more than Llama, and thus am unable to move my vote ATM.

Hm.

Vote Dfaraday

Eyy!

Bunch of random wagons. Recommending Dfaraday.

And now you voted for Dom? What happened to your Day 1 vote and recommending others vote for DF? Now that he was up for a possible lynch you suddenly throw your vote on Dom?

Are we looking at a Dom/DF/speedchuck baddie team here?

Quin wrote:I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say I made a case but voted the other way, Daisy.

Ok, forgive me, thirsd shift sleep deprived brain misunderstood one of your posts. I thought you changed your vote. But you were only considering DF, for the fact he agreed with your case... argh. I'm sorry Quin, disregard my revious suspicion of you, I think now that it was tin foiling.

Ok G-man. I'm so very sorry that I haven't been here more. but this game started just as I was going into my two days where I had to work third shifts. If I worked third shifts everyday it would be no problem, but when you only work third shift once or twice a week, you have to adjust your whole schedule just to compensate. So yeah, I haven't posted much because what little time I have been awake and coherent, I've dedicated to other things first because frankly, Day 1 is pretty much a crap shoot anyway. You are lucky you got three posts and a vote out of me. And also, I claimed my role in my very first post yet you kept complaining about me not claiming. Whatever man. I have to ignore most of what you say, your posts look shady as all get out to me and I have to keep reminding myself that you are confirmed civ with an unknown shelf life. I'm guessing you are acting crazy because you can being confirmed and all. Overall, I've found your stuff to be mostly distracting.

Nutella? This two way case on nutella looks bogus as shit to me. Not voting there.

DF/notsawyer: Ok, problematic here. People were commenting on DF early on about how he is not as low poster as normal. I don't think this is alignment indicative. I mean, he's low poster no matter what. I think it's more indicative of the fact that he enjoys the theme in my experience. He put some kind of case out on notsawyer, and I didn't really think much about it. But then notsawyer came in and seemed like a total overreaction. It read that way to me because he was ranting about DF not addressing him, but he clearly addressed him in the very post he was ranting about. Then when DF responded he accused DF of overreacting, which I also don't see at all. So my first instinct was that I would likely vote for notsawyer, but then notsawyer's following posts read very sincere to me. At the moment I'm leaning the opposite way now. But then Quin, presenting a case on someone and then voting the other way looks like distancing that went awry. It makes me nervous about Quin... and notsawyer.

speedchuck, where did the vote for Dom come from and why?

I recall as I was reading along the last few days that there were some weird vibes going on where it seemed like a couple or few people were backing each other up in what seemed like a very solid way for no apparent reason. I'm going to try and read back over it tonight since I finally have some down time.

For now, I'm voting notsawyer I think.

Sure would be nice if we could replace those bloody question marks with names.

You want me to fix that for you? I can fix anything... I NEED to fix everything. And cry.

Of the three leading, I am most comfortable with a llama lynch. I am at work and can't post much more.

Voting llama

And having caught up I now see his vote has moved, a couple times actually.

Well, they weren't acting for the good of the Island, in any case.

I agree that Nikki would be a weird character to fake claim. When you say you find G-Man's vote questionable, do you mean you suspect G-Man? Because I seriously doubt he's bad.

LOL, I forgot until I read this that he was Charlie. Well, no I don't suspect him. But I disagree with his vote.
