Please don't - I love you and I love this game - I'm super sad I can't play.

Many apologizes to both the host and the players of this awesome game. And thank you so much for stepping in BR!

My promotion went through so now that has to be my focus for a while till I get my grounding and get to a place where I have some free time again.

Rip bf. I'm so sorry I missed the vote. note to self - polls end at noon this game.

I'm going with Wabash Ave cuz we had one of those in my hometown and I miss my hometown.

Dom - do you think Golden might be bad? or are you just super defensive because he suspects you? Is there any way you could see him as misguided?
I feel you being super defensive - because you are feeling attacked. - I'd like your input as to where you think these attacks are coming from. Is there any way you think you both might be right but just not seeing the other side of the coin?

(this btw - was the post I should have prolly made to MP in the time we don't talk about - I'm sorry for handling that poorly - but I was really trying to get to the same thing as I am here)

The reason I did not come after her in the thread as many of you suggested is because she was literally absent for so long. Which I think is oddly convenient, but whatever. Final thoughts, I think dom is bad, he's only analytical like this when he has a team. I think epi and bills are bad. Think SVS is misguided. Good luck

So do you think she is the millionaire, or even a baddie at all?

I think she is bad. It is awfully convenient she was completely absent a LONG time when I was talking about a stranger who could be the millionaire. And her posts until that silent period ended were complete fluff.

Yes I meant bullz, must have been a phone autocorrect.

but LOTS of people were absent - lots of people could have fit that bill. Vompi coud have been bad for being "absent" I could have fit that bill DF could have fit that bill. We had 72 hour day one. I know I took advantage of the extra time to pay more attention to RL than the game - why wouldn't anyone else?

It really feels to me like you just really *want* her to be the millionaire. And she could be or she couldn't be. There is a civ role that could be just the same as what you want to see- or - OMG - llama could have made the will not be tied to a role. You don't know because you hadn't read death note, but llama HATES assumptions. And - while I do believe you are coming from the best intentions BF - you are assuming a LOT in your analysis in a game from a host who LOVES to prove why assumptions are wrong.

linki - I don't understand what you are saying about the expiring - but i'm drunk and near bed time Please explain it to me like a 2 year old and I will catch it in the am when I coffee.

If BF and Golden are both mindful, logical players, then why did they each make a rash decision on Day 1?

I'm confused.

How many times do you want me to address this? Because I would think I've done so enough times by now?

BTW - if you think bf's decision was rash, then you look at things differently to me. I am logical, and I think I would have made the same 'rash' decision that bf did. I don't think his decision was illogical at all. Harmful to his own health, sure. But that doesn't make it illogical.

Mine was illogical, but as noted I've already addressed that several times and don't intend to do so again. My explanation is really not confusing - you just have to decide whether or not you believe me, but lets not go pretending its confusing.

You know, I played some of the better games I've played on RM where wink wink nudge nudge was acceptable. I've struggled with how to get info in the thread here loads. And it took a llama game for me to finally get it.

The thing is, his decision wasn't only harmful to his health. It's now harmful to zombra's health through no fault of her own. And she could be a civ, she could be a baddie. Either way - she's darn sure a target now. Big ole target mark right on her back and her game is going to reflect that - it's not fun knowing that someone might get the big frekkin' cash payout as soon as you die.

Now that BF might get lynched? Regardless of his alignment (and I'm leaning civ here - just because it seems *too* crazy for a baddie ploy) If BF were lynched today, then SVS would inherit that will. So now that target BF painted on himself would move square over to her. Also through no fault of her own. Just because she voted him first.

I get it now. THANK YOU SWEET LLAMA! I get it now.

Golden - I know you are getting the drfunk bea you've missed so much -but isn't what I'm saying logical? Maybe? Just maybe? it wasn't the best move for BF to make. Maybe- just maybe - he should have kept his info to himself - instead of painting a target on someone (zombra ) who has a 50/50 chance of being a civ. As well as anyone who would inherit his will post his demise. If BF is a civ - he's painted a target on two other potential civs. On Day 1. How is that logical "civ" game play?

I am pretty positive I just talked myself out of voting him - so in that light - where else for a Day 1 vote? This has received so much thread attention the only other things I really remember is the MP v1.0 stuff WE NEVER SPEAK OF AGAIN - and the back and forth with you and dom.

I'm not sure where I land on the you and dom debate. I get what you are saying, but I see dom's side of it too. I think - more than anything that has gone on in the thread these past few days - this is the most mountain out of a molehill back and forth I've seen.

linki- awe goosey I'm sorry to see you go - I adore you so much! But also unerstand - I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth as well. GM role is waaaay different than even the 70 hour work weeks I've done as an AM.

yay sophie! bout time you joined the fun! I look forward to your thoughts.

If everyone else just follows suit, rabbit would be lynched. Rabbit, you'd be ok voting for yourself to clinch your lynch, right?

Given the baddie role that has been talked about - the one who gains strength from votes that don't lynch him - I think we ought to be uber-wary about self-voting in this game.

That is a good point golden.

Linkie LOL mm

Maybe tonight.if I'm lucky golden....

I get sad when stuff like this happens because I enjoy playing with both Golden and Wabbit. I am so very happy to have them both back. I don't want to loose one of you over the other. You both know you're never going to see eye to eye on this stuff.

MovingPictures07 wrote:At the moment, I have no substantial thoughts on any players, but I would like a response to my question to BF as well as bea, because even though there were a few others (IIRC) that echoed BR's observation, they seemed genuine. I'm not sure whether BF or bea were being genuine, but I feel their diction is worth questioning.

I'm not sure how my diction feels off to you? Like I said - I didn't say a word about voting you so I'm not sure why you are jumping down my throat when you started your post telling dom you could see why people were looking your way and waiting to see your reaction. Which, by the way, sounds just as plausable as BR's theory. Like I said in my last post - it's a wait and see thing for me.

MovingPictures07 wrote:How is it an impressive catch? I just explained what I did. Why would anyone think I would be as careless as a baddie to tip my hand like that?

It is impressive as in it's a small thing that's easily over looked and could be bigger later. Not a whole lot to go on on Day 1's to be sure of anyway. It was a breadcrumb that could be a breadcrumb or the one of many depending on what develops from here on out. My mind is far from made up on you Socky. I mentioned nothing about voting - you feel defensive toward me for no reason - when you said just above that you saw why people would agree with it.

Ya'll are chatty. I had today off so I only had to work 5 hours today.....

So, I Think that BR's points about MP are a pretty impressive catch for Day 1. I look forward to hearing what MP has to say in response.

Golden and Epi are reading to me like they are talking in circles but I can't figure out the basic points either of them are making. It's like the picking of nits all over again. This isn't really that shocking to me though. Epi's style is similar to wabbits so I can understand the butting of heads.

SVS raises a good point about BF seeming to buddy up to Golden. She even went to the trouble of pulling quotes so you know she means business. I can see where she's coming from too. I'm not sure it's suspicious yet, but BF - man -there are others playing!! Mafia besties are the best for sure! What do you think of everyone else?

FTR - I don't think TH is suspicious for mixing up bullz and boom. I've done it. I've also messed up tranq and typh and goosey and hedgey. last time I goofed up tranq/typh was during recruitment btw. that was fun with both of them in bts. :eyeroll: I also think that TH's post to goosey is interesting.

Dom seems to be reading pretty logical to me. I found my head nodding in agreement while I was reading along.



aaannnd....while that was all being typed - here's MP. Lol.

Also - BR - You know how you said TH's avi looks like he's eyeing everyone? LC's icon always makes me think he's facepalming everything I say.

I have missed my durnken wabbit! Play nice with the investers. You want their yen!!!
