You think she sounds genuine? I suppose I would believe it to be more likely if I had actually never seen this happen before.

You don't have any other thoughts about anyone?

I'm not sure if that she sounds sincere as much as it just seemed way more like a joke than a slip. Vomps is especially suspicious with his nonsense talk that I do not usually associate with him.

I would honestly vote Sorsha; she hasn't changed my mind, it's all I really have right now.

I don't have reason to believe Rey is bad yet.

I have a few years of retail under my belt from back in my high school and early college days. Nothing commission based but one place did keep track of our sales and number of customers served each day. I always had a high number of customers served but that didn't always translate to higher sales.

Even still... I think I can outsell each of you guys so I'm voting for myself.

Why is that interesting? And what does that mean exactly? Did this get anyone else's attention?

Yeah I think it's interesting that you're pushing the idea of someone else to win the poll. Do you know if Rey is staff, management, maintenance or canteen? The only way, I'd think, to push for someone to win this poll is if you have btsc/ know what team they are on. That would be more likely if you're both management. So you and Rey are both on my list...

I have no idea what anyone's alignment is. I played Shawshank, as I previously stated, and I voted for llama in that Day 0 poll and won because he was the "first to cry out".

Everyone has "assumptions" they make when they vote, especially in Day 0 polls.

Why did you vote for someone besides yourself? Do you know if they are staff, management, maintenance, or canteen? Don't you understand your argument can be flipped right back on you or anyone else? So why do you think I am suspicious?

That's where I'm losing you.

I can see why it's interesting; since this appears to be a prize poll, promoting someone to get a prize might garner some attention.

I kinda thought that one of the primary procedures of this game was to pick apart others votes for people/options on the basis of extremely minute minutiae. It is what we do. The fact that you see no reason WHY this might be interesting is...interesting I have seen YOU do some remarkably nit picky over analyses of votes yourself, Boss. So you not getting why that might be interesting is something I will keep in mind and be ready to point out to you when YOU start eyeballing someone based on one of their votes.

I am kinda surprised no one has yet found it *interesting* that, of three people with 2 votes (you, Rey & Dom) I chose Dom to force the tie. I am sure that other people with interesting votes (Sorsha switching votes to Boogs to break the tie, Bloopy reinstating the tie, for instance) know that they had interesting votes, and why. I am sure that someone will find these things interesting at some point, but it is good to know that whoever it is, it won't be you

I think you read into my post too much. Yes, you're right that's one of the primary procedures of this game. Where did I say I saw "no reason why"? I asked her why it was interesting because I wanted elaboration. I ask for elaboration all the time. I also was pinged by it a bit, so I asked if anyone else took notice of her post and felt any way about it particularly or whether it was just me being defensive.

"Interesting" doesn't tell me anything. She didn't say I'm suspicious for it and it was incredibly noncommittal. Seemed like suspicion mongering to me. I wanted to see if she would clarify and if it really was something more than "interesting" since she didn't indicate such.

I also found it a bit ridiculous because right off the bat my vote gets called "interesting" (and yet no one else's receives attention) because I come in with a theory that seemed plausible based on Shawshank and what one could expect from Epig. Other people voted for Dom and Boogs for non-theory related reasons, which were equally if not MORE so "interesting", as you state. I recognize that. I recognize my vote could be "seen" or manipulated to be seen any way that people want it to. But it struck me as odd she just said it was "interesting" and didn't elaborate on what that means exactly (suspicion? no or yes?). Typically, players elaborate on things they find suspicious, yes?

Why are you so aggressive here? That last part of your post was unnecessary.

It felt as he was trying to ask a question just for the sake of asking. I don't have anything else to go on, but I have nothing on other people as well, so he's a possible candidate for me

I've seen games that start on Day 1, although they aren't the norm anymore. Used to happen more so. And honestly I was thinking the same thing when I saw the poll at first, and I know my intentions weren't nefarious, so I question this line of thinking for voting TH.

What do you think of S~V~S, Sorsha, or Dom?

FZ. wrote:
I understand why you question this line of thinking, because like I said, it's not a very good reason, but on first days, I go on vibes, and I can only say that on first reading, that was the post that pinged me most before I posted my first post. I've done this as a baddie- tried to seem eager and like I don't know anything. He's an option. I'm willing to consider others.

As for the others, I get what you're saying about Sorsha, but it didn't strike me as that fishy. "Interesting" is something I use when something catches my eye, but I still don't know how I feel about it. SVS seemed too snarky, but is that her way of acting when she's a baddie?
And Dom, I didn't even think about him yet. What did he do that caught your eye?

FZ. wrote:SVS, are you suspicious of MP. or did you just decide to defend Sorsha for different reasons?

I somehow missed this.

No one knew a thing.

I'm voting for either Dom or MP for their weird reaction to FZ, but my BTS partners are voting for someone else to distance themselves from me.

I'm inclined to see FZ as joking, as that would be rather a big mistake to make in-thread, so I don't think I'll throw my vote that way (at least for that reason; not ruling her out). I'm reading and re-reading people and trying to get a feel for who is bad, but apparently I need to re-re-read because I don't feel particularly pinged by anyone just yet. I'll take a few moments to collect my thoughts.

I have seen people do that, more than once, actually. But generally their reaction to it is more along the lines of "OMG, I am sooooo lame" than trying to talk their way out of it, like FZ did. Her reaction to taking suspish felt pretty genuine to me. Had Vomp not been talking about his BTS partners, I might have taken a harder look at what FZ said, but I thought it was pretty obvious that she was just playing around.

The fact that Eloh voted for her seems somewhat opportunistic to me, so my vote might be going there, or I might distance myself from Vomps BTS partners with a vote for Dom.

S~V~S wrote:

Dom wrote:comp could you please remove your vote from me now

He thought you were suspish, why are you asking him to do this with no reason why? Assuming comp=Vomp.

Unless you are one of the elusive BTS partners?

So...you think that I make a good point in my vote for Eloh, saying that she is opportunistic for voting for FZ when it is fairly obvious that she was kidding, yet you are considering a vote for FZ?

So you think i am sincere in my voting reason, but mistaken?
