Some people would be ecstatic to have as many as two (2) fingers

I hear ya loooud and clear, Miles. I'm playin' it off 'cuz I ain't ever seen no reasoning for a Day 1 vote as whack as yours. I'm in the wrong for makin' myself heard? Ain't you s'posed to be a bandleader, Miles? If youh bandmates ain't followin' yuh direction, ya point it out to them, and smack 'em upside the head fo' being so out of it, yeah? Our bandleader, the esteemed Great Eye'd One, gave us a direction and none of y'all was payin attention. It's my duty as a fellow hornsman to point it out to my brothers and sistas. We ain't seen this man's wrath yet, and I'm not willin' to incur it to find out.

It could be argued that the less you grab things the less attached you are to them.

Bill Dixon is confirmed civ.

I think it's unfair to vote for Michael Bouble just because he's evil.

I agree, Mr. Coleman. I still, however, really wanna vote for him.

Sorry for my absence so far, folks. Dave Holland has called me to join his quintet again and we've been trying to arrange all of his big band works for two saxophones, a vibraphone, double bass and drumkit. It ain't easy.

I'm worried about Mr. Mingus. Quite a hooplah he made fo himself early on, callin' himself Jazz itself, like he its father. And yet not a peep since our trial rehearsal. He could be stayin' silent, knowin' he was all bark an' no bite, hopin' we place the blame on someone who weren't outta tuuune.

Fats Navarro, man there are socks for a reason trying to figure them out is so.......lowwwww class. I'd expect better from a Jazzer. You might just have the Trane's vote today.

Are we NO U'ing now? And you call me low class? How about we lynch the one player who has shown active discussion dismissal?

Great google moogly I've fallen behind in the game. Good thing i never fall behind the rhythm.

I see I have 2 votes for me. They must have some good reasons. Fleck and Potter have my number:

What sort of jokey 12/8 count is this? No reasons for voting me? How dare you, laddies!

Well now I do have a reason.

Do enlighten me, sir.

Sure, I started with no reason and nothing more than simple random voting. However your response to it does not satisfy me. So now I'm looking to see what I can find form you.

Sigh...

This is why I don't use alts/sockpuppet...

Im really frustrated at this now... I'm done for the night

Well that is unfortunate, Fleck.

I am currently random voting you for reasons I intend to come up with later regardless of your response to me.

Random voting Bela Fleck for alt slipping.

omg...............

you would do that too....

Why the hell is someone voting for no lynch....

Two people? I saw ika, but I didn't see the other one. Assuming you're talking about folks who let it slip who they really are, that is.

Bill Dixon wrote:Ahh, what'sa matter Miles? Vinny? A little to free for y'all?

Hey, you wanna keep playin' it off like it ain't no thang, all the power to ya. As far as I'm concerned, you didn't even hear what I had to say.

To respond to this that I have forgotten. I saw one other player looking at the game under main and I know one person who is playing cus I invited them to play with.

Anyways sleep time

Well, well, well: I'm lynching you, Bublé, because you cannot sing with a band unless the sound guy runs your voice through auto-tune. Sinatra would twist in his grave if he could hear your impression of him!

Quin wrote:Hi, am I playing?

Less than half a Day to go, jazzers.

Also, the socklist has been updated with links to everyone's posts - although the thread isn't exactly pages long, at this point...

Switched over to Buble because I don't actually want to lynch Bela Fleck for alt slipping and I don't care for Buble's interactions with Bela Fleck and I will be gone most of the day today.

I would like to point out that there is 1 active artist who has already tried to stifle discussion, and there was no discussion on the matter.

Which one would that be, Mr. Fats? If they been quashin' discussion, they been doin' a good job of it.

I'd like to cast my vote for Charles Mingus, seein' as he's a most likely to be th' one draggin' and huffin' and puffin' and toutin'.

I'll be voting for Fats Navarro

I don't like that he says I'm stifling discussions since I don't want to talk about socks.

Cool your jets!
Just swing back into the sound.
You voted me for no reason and waited for a response. I was tied for lead. Of course I'm going to respond to you. Tit for tat, rattatat.

Billie Holiday wrote:Switched over to Buble because I don't actually want to lynch Bela Fleck for alt slipping and I don't care for Buble's interactions with Bela Fleck and I will be gone most of the day today.

See now here's an actual reason. I have no qualms for you voting me, cool cat. Except now I am leading the lynch for some reason. This would be a real bad way to go, I tell ya.

Interestin' that there's a no-lynch option heah. Mr. Coleman, I know you and I may have slightly... diff'rent thoughts on what is considered "in-tune" but surely ya gotta admit someone was way off in that rehearsal?

Mr. Buble, I can't say I'm a fan of your music personally, and I'm not sure I would consider your playin' or singin' to be the genuine expression we here jazz folks hold in regard, but I can say that so far your responses feel real sincere. I'm willin' ta give you the benefit of the doubt time bein'.

Chill, cat. Chill. You're hammering on this issue like it's legit but it's no blue note my friend. You may think your case is sharp but all I hear is awkward flat notes. He wasn't deflecting. The way I see it, he was moving past the something sour to find sweeter vibes. We all want to be on the up-and-up, not the out-and-out.

John Coltrane wrote:I'll be voting for Fats Navarro

So how about you offer something else. So far you have had 4 posts. Post 1 stating that you are here. Post 2 stating you don't wanna talk about socks. Post 3 was a nuh-uh, you. Post 4 was a nuh-uh, you.

Linki - at what point is he going to play pretty notes past the ones I let out? I'd be willin to agree with you if he actually was trying to move past the "bad notes" but apparently that's not the case.

I agree that he's holding the same note a little long but let's see if he can throw a few more dots down on the sheet. He's only got four posts. I think neither of you make sense for today's lynch. Both your improvs feel a little too convenient to join in on. I still haven't seen any tonal surprises that take my breath away though. Not much time to keep lookin' though. Day 1's man. Day 1's.

You seem like the kind of fellow who has played mafia before

can you teach me some of your secrets plz so tht i can look like i know what i'm doing

I suppose I will leave my vote where it is. Day 1's man. Day 1's.

I'm not feeling these two votes on me.

I don't like Hirome's post.
Day 1 has gone quite slowwww today.

Lo siento mis amigos! My apologies for being ausente!

On the bright side there wasn't mucho to read, but also not mucho to use in making up my vote.

Pero, I agree with the Gordo man. Juan es muy negativo with the few things that have been brought up for discussion.


Vote Juan Coltrane

Ay, el día uno vota.

Sheeit.

I'll vote for the one that doesn't make Christmas music for middle-aged housewives.

You're full of lies. You say here's an actual reason and then say that you're leading the lynch for "some" reason. Is there or is there not justified reasons to suspect you? Perhaps you can't decide which piece of deceit would sell best.

What don't you like about it?

Let's look at everyone's reason for voting, Red will be weak reasons that I disagree with, Green will be strong reasons that I agree with.
Buble Voters
Fleck - Unsatisfied with Buble's response to RVS, followed by OMGUS reaction.
Potter - Role playing purposes
Holiday - Doesn't like the exchange between Fleck and Buble
Mingus -

Coltrane Voters
Me - I'm unsatisfied with Coltrane's deterrent of conversation while not contributing anything himself.
Uehara - Using poor grammar, Uehara stated that she thought my line of thought was insightful or something.
Puente - Agrees with me... I think he called me fat while doing so though.

Dixon Voters
Guaraldi - Doesn't like the idea of Dixon brown nosin the hosts, which I don't think is alignment indicative. Guaraldi then goes on with "day one, day one" multiple times, implying there's not enough information to make a good argument. I disagree with this greatly and could see Guaraldi getting my vote.
Davis - Ends his reasoning for voting Dixon with

Miles Davis wrote:Does it make him bad? No. But I take things personal sometimes. Bill Dixon

I don't think Dixon is bad because of this. Does it make Guaraldi or Davis bad? Maybe... actually more likely than others.

Fleck Voters
Buble - Chose to save themselves, rather aggressive towards fleck while doing so.

Mingus Voters
Dixon -

No Lynch Voters
Coleman - Why are you voting the one thing to help the bad guys?

Review: I feel that alot of votes have been cast on the premise of non alignment indicative interactions, and will be keeping my vote where it is. I feel that there is a lack of effort coming from the two voting with me though and it is causing me to doubt my own tune. I disagree with the Dixon voters greatly. Wouldn't mid having one of those fire drill things on Guaraldi.
