The poll says "most in sales" and not "most sales," signifying the individual who, while not necessarily having moved the most inventory, brought in the greatest number of pounds for the company during the last fiscal quarter.

Interesting. Greatest number of pounds. Who weighs the most?? hehe. I know Epi loves to watch us look for the deeper meaning to his polls. He is sitting back and laughing at us

I think it's a typo for most ales, so since I can't vote for Lo, I'm satisfied with my Vomperdoodle vote.

Why would that constitute sucking up exactly?

I went with boogs to break the tie. I have been trying to figure out a more logical deeper meaning but I give up .

I voted for Mr Pictures, as I too feel bad for him getting lynched so early in the last game, even if he was evil

Voting Dom, I like ties

One person left to vote? Maybe they can vote for one of the others with 2 votes?

nijuukyugou is Blooper, yes?

Switched to boogs!!

Maybe Bloopy can vote for Dom? TIES ARE AWESOME!!!!

But Boogs has not done anything to make me think him bad, so meh

Oh shit, I almost missed it! Sorry y'all

What the hell, let's do a tie! Also, I thought this wasn't a lynch poll? And Dom voted himself, so I don't feel bad voting his way (if this, indeed, is not a lynch poll)

And by "almost missed it" I mean I didn't miss it at all (not used to the late deadlines!)

FZ sorry I didn't post more I have had a busy day and wasn't sure I'd be back in time! maybe I will post a ton now!

Turnip Head wrote:Maybe most sales means the most posts in the game?

Good thinking! I wish I had thought of this. But I do echo the "had" so I am still convinced if it is posts it must be pregame so maybe the signups or last three months like FZ and snow dog suggested? The latter would be cool but seems too difficult. I still think my theory is cool, hopefully it's right!

Sorsha wrote:So MP wants us to vote for Rey.... Interesting. I won't be voting for Rey.

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?

FZ you just had to make the most posts! Now I have to post at least four times after this if your post theory is correct... and I might not even benefit. So my motivation is pretty low to be frank.

I am flattered for the votes though but I wouldn't ask for sympathy from anyone!

Well, shit

Can I still vote please?

I would vote for Dom if I could have gotten here 15 minutes earlier.

Moral victory, Dom!

It stood out to me, yes, but I thought it was just me being self centered.

I like posts. My dad gardens and stuff and he'd let me use the post-hole digger. It was my favorite thing on earth.

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

Everyone had signed in. Agent E examined their signatures and remarked on how counterfeit they looked. “These cannot be your real names,” he said. “Mrs. Essviess? What ethnicity is that? Ancient Icelandic? Mr. Turnips? Perhaps made up on account of what you had for breakfast, no doubt. Mr...”

Agent E squinted at the roll. “Vomperdoodle.” Agent E repeated the name under his breath. “A very unfortunate but obviously Finnish surname. I hear changes of name in Finland are expensive.”

Agent E cleared his throat. “Nevertheless, I will be here watching your every move. We must discover the reason for Grace Bros. waywardness.” He examined another report. “Surely it cannot be Mr. Boogs however, who brought in an astounding £539 and...11p last quarter."

Agent E looked at everyone else and squinted a single eye.

“Surely one of you is to blame for the mismanagement of this company. Now who is it?”

Who had the most in sales during the past quarter?

It seems my magical kitties that I sold made us good money.

Why do we only have 14 hours to lynch someone? Or is it the hour thing, that I missed somehow?

FZ. wrote:Why do we only have 14 hours to lynch someone? Or is it the hour thing, that I missed somehow?

I fell asleep waiting for the deadline last night. Had I posted then, the Day 1 deadline would have been around 10pm tonight. If you all want 24 hours from my last post, that's perfectly fine with me. School is out for us.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I guess we can leave it at that.

To be honest, there's a chance I'm going to vote for TH because his first post seemed kind of redundant to me with the "is this day 0 or day 1 " because I don't think there was one game where I played here when the game started with day 1 and we actually lynched someone. 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 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.

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:Why do we only have 14 hours to lynch someone? Or is it the hour thing, that I missed somehow?

Also, is it just me or is there NO time notated on the poll? Is that on purpose?

Honestly I think I'll be voting for Sorsha, but I want a lot more discussion first.

The way she thought my vote for Rey was "interesting" and said "I won't be voting for Rey" but then switches her vote to Boogs later as if voting for someone else isn't so bad anymore just pings the crap out of me.

My two cents so far: I'm looking at possibly Reywas or blooper today. For Reywas: it seemed blendy and it was as if the group was trying to be shifted towards Reywas for some odd reason and then it went to the poll ending and him being like, "oh if I would have changed my vote I would have voted for one of the top 2 vote getters now". Just weird idk. Felt like MP was kind of gearing at us following to vote him and when Reywas checked in and saw he wasn't going to win, he tried a blendy recovery.
For Blooper: I find your excuse and acting confused bogus. You voted dom and not me and said it was because he "self voted" when I did the same. Could be that you chose him over me because he's a teammate as a possibility also. I even mentioned I self voted first as a response to you to try to change your vote and you didn't respond to that or give why Dom got the vote.

Linki MP she gave me an eyebrow too how she was quick to help me all of a sudden too.

Boogs, those both seem like legitimate suspicions to me. Not sure I agree with your interpretations of their actions, but it beats randomizing. That said, I'm not sure I'd vote for Rey just yet since it seems like standard Rey being Rey.

I am also not sure I find Blooper insincere, HOWEVER it is interesting to note she voted for Dom because he "voted himself" and didn't give any other explanation yet you did as well, so that is noteworthy.

Would a baddie really put themselves out there in the open so much though just to throw a vote onto a teammate for a prize which nobody seemed to know anything about? That's my problem with that.

Bah, gotta go, be back later! Curious to see what others think.

You really think I would feel the need to be blendy in a day 0 poll where no one knows what it means?

Yes

Also, Boogs, I missed the vote. I didn't say that I would vote for Dom if I could have changed it. I said if I would have gotten here with enough time to vote, so it appears your whole line of thinking on this is incorrect.

If I had said that I would have voted for you instead of Dom, I bet you wouldn't have even commented on it.

Hmmmm it does appear you didn't vote. I thought you voted yourself after MP did. Doesn't mean I can't keep an eye on you though

So that leaves me with Blooper and Possibly Sorsha. I feel Blooper is the better choice and we can change votes if something enlightening happens Day 1, but not likely this early.

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...

After blooper tied it up again I almost switched my vote again. I don't like ties and didn't want the poll to end in one. Since there are a couple vote manipulations out there I didn't think it was really going to matter anyway, with the votes being so close.
