Let's scatter them a little more.
Tranq
Not to say this is exactly an implication of DDL, I just found it amusingly noteworthy.

He is not entirely sure who is a good candidate to vote for, however he is sure that the voting for everyone strategy is not a good way to go. Based on his gut feeling, he respectfully votes for Long Con as the one who feels off. No hate, no animosity, just business babe
He was home with his family this weekend which is why he haven't posted, just trying to keep up on the posts quite hard when his family is being loving and fun and junk
. He should be more active as time progresses provided that his schooling doesn't overwhelm and completely pull him under in a tide of work.
Sloonei wrote:Hey chaindeath, thanks for joining us. And also thanks in advance for sharing those reasons for why you voted Long Con.
chaindeath wrote:He is so good at typing.... He didn't do it properly and he offers his sincerest apologies. Long Con
This was a peculiar interaction to me. Going with a straight gut vote after saying hes not sure whose a good candidate to vote for, Sloonei thanking chaindeath in advance for sharing the reasons for his LC vote, then CD making a strangle worded post because he didn't bold+underline LC's name. I understand that its considered proper to announce who you are voting for but the poll is whats official and his previous post made it clear LC was his vote even if he didn't format it the standard way.

This isn't being defensive by the way, I'm just trying to talk out loud in case it helps a bit. I just don't have the time anymore to check in multiple times a day, especially when I absolutely cannot check in on the site during work hours (vaguely between 8am and 8pm -- I'm an attorney and I've got a pretty big caseload, which honestly is the only reason I don't play anymore).
THat said, I certainly don't take offense or it to heart that someone votes me on day 1 for not making dozens of posts. Just letting y'all know that I'm doing the best I can, and warning you it's not likely going to get much better (in terms of quantity -- I'll always aim for quality).
I read through the arguments to and for finding the traitors, which I found pretty intriguing at first. But then I was glad that discussion more or less ceased. Basically the way I feel about Jurassic World. I'm going to continue to catch up in the limited time I can (I've got company coming tonight and staying most of the week), so there's a bit of a time pressure situation.
linki x 15 (seriously)
I tried to find these non-fluff posts of Mongoose and they amount to a post commenting on the traitor issue(without any significant changes from what she posted about it above):

I hate ploys like that because there's always one alpaca that won't fall in line. Great in theory though. I feel like it's worked before though. A la Minimalism Mafia. Who could forget that great hit from 2014?
I'll think about this traitor activation issue. Any more opinions on downsides?
It's good to be back around all y'all.
along with thinking it transcendent that there was talk of lynching inactives and that she enjoys the tactic(she makes sure to include a preemptive defense on the possibility of more concrete lynch cases):

agleaminranks, come say something.
Hiii, I'm trying to catch up on the posts so far. I didn't get a chance to read through it yet because I just started my new job today as an afterschool math and physics tutor. I'll have something solid to go on in the next few hours hopefully~

Oh wow, imagine seeing you in these parts!
In other news, I think it's transcendent that we are having the Voting a Non-Participant discussion again, and on my first day back!. Historically, I am very fond of this tactic (that is, in the absence of anything meatier -we've certainly had meat in the room on day 1, so to speak).
Mongoose wrote:Before I vote ika for the odd post on Silverwolf, is that something we do around here now? Vote for people to get their attention?
Sloonei - no worries, I saw -- I always try to respond directly to anyone who's made a comment or query my way. Thanks to the ole handy Ctrl+F
This post stands out to me since it seems like Mongoose is trying to confirm whether or not behavior she is stating is odd is scummy in the eyes of others.
