rico stop being an idiot for a minute please, i need to think

She'll need more than just a minute.

I'm voting MP because I think it's too easy for him to hide behind the guise of the narrator to just recap rather than add anything. Speaking of adding, George Michael, can you help me with my math homework?

Oh, sure! I'd do anything for you, Maeby.

That's great! Then I'll just leave it here with you to finish for me, I've got big plans with Rick Oche tonight so I can't really do it myself. You're the best!

Wait, what? The moron jock? Well, alright, I can't say no to you for some reason.

Maybe I should vote for Steve after all. He's just so wrong for her. Maybe if he's gone, Maeby will notice me on a deeper level.

Hey Dad, I know you're usually too busy for this kind of thing but I need some father-to-son advice. There's this girl that I want to impress. Should I vote the way she votes or vote to get rid of someone who is hogging her attention but clearly not good for her?

Listen to your uncle, George Michael. The way to get girls to like you is to be mean to them and get their self-esteem nice and low. Maybe you should vote for her a couple of times.

Would it be easier to move on to another girl instead? I mean, Ann's pretty nice.

I don't understand why anyone would want to get rid of the doctor. Doctors are helpful people, and will legally prescribe you drugs.

I think we should all learn to enjoy his company.

Dad, you completely ignored my question. I should be used to it now, I guess, but I need your advice. Don't let me down, dad. And please let me go to Spring Break. If you don't, I may have to reject you as a father figure and get closer to GOB despite his crazy schemes and reprehensible behavior.

I'm busy, go ask your mother.

We're a little too spread out right now, no baddies are getting lynched with a tally like this. I'm switching to Sloonei , unless Mother tells me to do otherwise.

Disingenuous reasoning (we're a little too spread out right now) + awkward, forced, self-evident observation (no baddies are getting lynched with a tally like this) + switching a vote to a player for no given reason why that particular player should be voted for = Baddie. This is the same thing I initially suspected Sloonei for, only he justified it well by saying that it was a pressure vote to get the ball rolling, and it worked. I often make similar votes at the beginning of games where votes are changeable and like Sloonei here, I often get suspected for it unjustly. This on the other hand is impossible to justify from a civilian perspective. If you wanted to vote for Sloonei randomly, this post only would have included the last sentence. You wanted to vote disingenuously to blend in while applying irrelevant reasoning to it so that you don't risk getting suspected for a random vote. Considering these circumstances, that seems very paranoid. Why are you paranoid?

Maybe you should read my posts where I laid out my suspicions of Sloonei. I didn't pick his name out of a hat.

I like how say my behavior is impossible to justify from a civilian perspective while I am cognizant of a split vote not being in favor of the civs. I like how you say my actions are blendy while calling me out for non blendy behavior. I like how you accuse me of applying irrelevant reasoning for my vote and also accuse me of applying no reasoning at all. I like how you think this was all done so I wouldn't risk being suspected, when the two people who posted after me immediately voted for me because of it

[Turnip Head]

Anyways I think it's interesting that you came to such a strong conclusion based on one post, apparently without reading my other posts. I would appreciate it if you based your vote on all my gameplay so far (and explained that gameplay from a baddie mindset), rather than picking one post out and attaching a one-track narrative to that single post.

[Sloonei]

Zebra and Sloonei explain your votes please and thank you.

It was an unserious OMGUS vote, but then you went and said this:

Which was exactly my thought earlier when you posted this:

Spoiler: show

Well, I recommend that some peeps try to be more subtle with their "checks". I was just lazy and wanted to be conspicuous to get the ball rolling. A healthy mix of obvious claims and more subtle ones should make it difficult for the mafia to find the real cop.

Even if I am the cop, my G-Man check might have been fake. If so, I will leave clues as to who I really checked.

are votes changeable?

Did you not bother to read the rules?

On the next... Arrested Development:

Buster starts a gambit to catch the traitor... but as to be expected, it is contrived in execution, warranting suspicion from the authorities. Turnip Head

What's contrived about it? "Contrived" is the word I'd use to describe Sloonei's post. If he wanted to know if votes were changeable, why didn't he read the rules to see? It's literally the first one.

The question seems to have been asked for the sake of asking it, or to telegraph his next move, as if to say "I'm going to vote right now, but I want everyone to be aware that it can be changed and that I am aware it can be changed". I've asked meaningless questions early in games when I've been bad before, to appear like I care about the game, which is why it caught me eye.

You are attempting to dismiss Egg's case by saying she is reading too much into one single post, which is without question exactly how you ended up on your own vote against this humble, blue Actor.

[Sloonei]

I regrettably have an audition tomorrow and expect to be pinned down until the deadline, so I won't be around. The South Coast Boutique is having a fire.

I switched my vote off right after you placed yours.

[G-Man]

Oh man, now what do I do? I want to vote for Steve but my dad already voted for him. If I vote for Steve now, it will look like I'm siding with my father.

I still want to impress Maeby but she voted for uncle GOB. I can't vote for a family member though. That's just not right.

Then there's Ann, but she voted for uncle Buster. What's a guy to do?

George Michael you listen to your Uncle T-bag. You're your own man, and it's time you stopped pussyfooting around the place worrying "Oh what's my father going to think of this." It's time to stop letting him live your life for you and show him your manhood!

"Without question" eh? Only a Sith deals in absolutes. But I'm considering your whole ISO with my vote. I see you only making snide remarks and engaging posts on a surface level. The snark is out of character for Tobias, and it's out of character for the civvie Sloonei I (very briefly) saw in Econ Mafia, who was level-headed, discerning and analytical. You encouraged everyone to vote early, now we have a spread out vote, and you mocked the only person who said that wasn't in the civs' interest. What have you learned about the game from the early spread out votes? Who do you suspect, other than me for having the audacity to vote for you?

Is someone picking on my Buster?

Please don't let them ship me off to army Mother...

[Sorsha]

Voted Sloonei for picking on my Buster, he's a good boy Sloonei

[G-Man]

Man, I just can't win. I was going to try to get Maeby to notice me by be a rule-breaker and not voting but then I remembered that we're not required to vote. I can't even rebel when I want to. Man.

Okay, so I can't vote for Steve because my dad voted for the moron jock already and I don't want dad to think we're on good terms again. I can't vote with Maeby or Ann because they both voted for people I'm related to by blood. Voting for that annoying disembodied voice that keeps making comments about us is pointless because he doesn't have any votes right now.

I guess I'll vote for Tobias. You're only related to me through marriage, you lack direction and responsibility in your life, and Buster is right that there's something very inconsistent about you.

[Sloonei]

I'm gonna put my vote on thellama in an effort to stop the tradition of me being lynched for absolutely no reason every time Jay mods a game. I'm still at work and won't be able to check back in much before the deadline.
Seriously, the last two votes on me came with literally no game-related reason attached. Let's not do that.

[Sloonei]

I'd still like to vote for Turnip Head and if anyone else feels the same I may switch back. I don't have tome to read things, just look at the poll.

[Ricochet]

But I just said llama shouldn't be lynched. \ /

[Sloonei]

Neither should I. This is an Arrested Development themed game predicated on character roleplay, and y'all want to lynch Tobias first? What is wrong with you people?
