EBWOP: my analysis on BWT should be "he wuz bad, lol" not llama. I'm actually pretty nervous at the votes on llama.

Voted Bullz.

I found your treatise quite enlightening and helpful (and you can bet your biscuit I'll be referring to it at the next vote).

I've been baking all day basically, but I guess I need to get my butt in gear and vote.

I think that Epi's theory about llama is the most compelling. So, I am voting llama. Sorry Logan.

You make some really neat looking cakes Elo.

*vote=Llama*

Damn DH! You weren't joking.

I am not going to quote your insanely long post of analysis, but serves me right for asking for more thoughts. Thank you for the thorough and interesting food for thought. This could come in handy next lynch.

Done! Hope you win. Those Kitchen Aid mixers are awful snazzy.

DH is so smart.

Voting for Bullz because I agree with DH's case.

Yeah, thanks DharmaObamaHelper! I have to admit though, this is quite exciting!
Also, finally a decent random.bullshit.analysis! You should do this more often, k.

DharmaHelper wrote: Nev voted bea and seemed from the onset to want to focus on the late voters for llama, that could be distancing, especially considering that indeed bea does not appear to be in danger of being lynched. It could also be a case of Nev thinking that there are maybe some civvies within the Ace votes and getting attention on them instead of him and possibly his teammates is better than nothing. His vote for Aces was based on Hedge's points, as you can see here he also says that Aces really wasn't all that suspect to him here

At the time of Nev's vote the votes looked like this:
Aces had 2 votes (Hedge, Spag)
BWT had 3 votes (Indiglo, Elo, SpaceDaisy)
Dex had 1 vote (Boomslang)

Nev's vote made it 3-3 between bwt and Aces. Coincidence?

I think it was a typo, but I wanted to focus on the late voters for *aces*, not llama. Though that was a position llama agreed with.
It seems like a fairly obvious logical position to take, especially with how little other actual info we have. The early voters (such as I) are viable as well, as you say, just not as much so as the later ones - early on, coming down on the side of a baddie teammate aligns you with them with little definite gain; later the likelihood that you are swinging the vote is much higher.

The post you linked to is the one where I admitted that I voted for Aces on pretty light feelings, because there is basically no information to vote on. Every single logical person in the game is doing the same thing - without information, choices are basically random. I didn't think anyone would mind me admitting it.

I find your analysis very helpful, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter :-)

Oh yeah I'm sorry Nev, writing that took alot of effort and time and I probably made a few typos.

Whoa, I've missed a lot. Sorry, I'm about to catch up and see what exactly is going on.

Wow, this thread got really heavy all of a sudden...

At work and on my phone. All the llama votes are making me nervious. I still don't get baddie vibes from him though. DB's long post is pretty well put together. I shall follow him and go with bulls.

Looking through the past couple days: Vomps and Lizzy are no doubt strange, but they are strange even if they are civs.

Rob's discussion with llama was interesting, but I feel as though they're both civs and just debating for the fun of it, maybe.

Apart from that, the only thing seeming strange to me would be Dex's posts which seem to have little or no relevance. It's possible that maybe he is cursed one way or another.

Despite all this, I really can't call any of the above-mentioned people baddies. Because of this, I'll vote for myself and later see what further discussion occurs between these people.

I am DB Cooper?

Another self-voter? What is up with this game?

I'm *voting Lizzy*.

But tomorrow I'm looking at Boats. How did he catch up and write all those thoughts in 12 minutes? He has BTSC teammates helping him out for sure.

I can vote for myself and know that I will not die since I have no other votes instead of jumping on a bandwagon and voting for someone who is likely a civ. I don't think I will do this often, but it gives me time to think about who is good and who is bad without actually judging.

I was gonna just ignore DH's post about me for now because I wasn't too bothered, but then other people started latching on so I thought I'd address it a bit.

DharmaHelper wrote: Bullz has made a few more posts than boo during D3 but they are equally as chin-scratch worthy. going to rewind a bit to D2 first though here he debates the merits of voting for Dex or Aces, but ultimately decides that voting for Dex would be too risky as he's "trying to grab himself some votes".

As you've just shown, I was unlikely to vote BWT even before he became an obvious candidate. If I'd mentioned BWT as highly suspicious and then voted Aces then I would agree that my vote looked like a save attempt.

Fast forward a bit and here Bullz says that if he really wanted to defend BWT, he would have done so. Because the smartest thing a baddie can do is openly and actively defend a sinking ship instead of covertly and subtly trying to get the votes needed for that teammate to survive.

I would have defended the ship before it started to sink. We've been bad together at least once, you surely know I try to defend my teammates when I can. It has been the death of me a few times.

He also says that he doubts Ace's voters (a group which he is conveniently a part of) made an attempt to save BWT by voting Aces. He states that it is just as likely that Dex voters (whom I will examine later) were trying to save BWT by voting Dex as they were tied or close for a while. Now you see why I rewound back to his D2 vote post where he waffles between voting Dex and voting Aces. Either vote would have been sufficient to save a teammate, by Bullz's own admission, yet the Aces vote carried significantly less risk.

I obviously worded that post wrongly. I meant it might not have only been Aces' voters trying to save BWT, as Dex was close as well so some could have jumped on him. Also voting for someone close to the person you're trying to save but not the closest would surely be a good way to disguise the fact that your vote is a save attempt right?

at the time of Bullz's comment and vote, the poll looked like this:
Aces had 4 votes (Hedgeowl, Spaghetti, Nev, and Boo)
BwT had 5 votes (Indiglo Elo, SD, Epig, Aces)
Dex had 3 votes (Boomslang, Devin, Dex)
So it would make more sense to put a vote on Aces at the time of Bullz's vote.

I see. I couldn't remember if Aces and Dex were tied or not at the time I voted, I thought they had been but apparently not.

Linki Nutella - interesting point about Boats there. Definitely worth a look.

3-4 pages doesn't take very long to read when you're skimming through the discussions. By all means, vote for me if you feel you must, but I know for a fact that I read through.

I can't ignore Llama's actions in the BWT lynch yesterday. I'm putting my vote there today.

*Votes Llama*

Seriously? I barely missed the poll ending. That is annoying to no end.

You read about 140 (3.5x40) posts in twelve minutes (720 seconds)? That's little over five seconds per post, never mind the time it took to write your post.

You didn't read shit.

^How is this 12 minute figure arrived at?

Dang son math done FUCKED YOU UP

^Thanks. Obvious really. Sorry for being slow.

Apparently this thread is hungry, because the second half of my post seems to have been eaten... Before the first post I quoted Boats hadn't said anything at all since day 0, so he supposedly read 3 'Days' worth of posts in the space of 12 minutes, which seems very unlikely.

Very good catch, Nutella. However, are there any civ roles with BTSC? I can't remember.

Considering I pull that crap all the time I'm reluctant to jump on Boats, but I'll keep an eye on him.

Lame result. RIP!

No kidding. Shit.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:Lame result. RIP!

Yeah, lame. I'd hoped there was a good chance of him being bad based on his defending BWT. Apparently not.
