Matahari wrote:holy carp!!!! I love your avatar. That was the first book I ever bought with my allowance

Thanks! That's awesome! I think the first one I ever read was #6, about the old clock.

Also: woot.

Eloh - Please vote me on Day 13; I am a silly bean.

Matahari - I totally get what you mean, and a lot of time I would think this would be an awesome tactic (especially if we are earlier in the game), but I think this could be a good way to knock off a lot of civs in one night. I'm not sure what our hit points are at (and don't really think we should reveal them), but this far in a lot of us are basically walking around on bloody stumps instead of legs.

What does anyone else think?

Woah, wait. You said you were voting INH but I got your vote. :/

aaaaaayi what the heck. I am seeing if there is something I can do. This is why I don't like to vote on my phone with my childlike chubby fingers. This is rather mortifying. Everyone look at Vomps.

And I used to watch the shit out of some My Little Pony back in the 80s.
I assume you watched G1?

Yep, me too. I'd get mad when they'd show an episode of the Glow Worms instead of two MLP eps. I had 500 ponies, all catalogued (still do at my grandma's actually). Apple Doppler was my first and favorite pony.

I like Apple Cobbler best, or whoever the hell.

Hey, does anyone have any PHD applications they would like feedback on?

Maybe if we start talking about Kraftwerk, Alex will automatically show up.

But honestly it wouldn't take that much to do the job

linkie: Why do you keep calling him Mattmatt??

I call him Mattmatt to distinguish him from Matt F. And also because A Person is a moniker too generic for our beloved kittycat.

Also, it's what I called my high school crush who never got around to dating me, so I'm taking the name back!

Don't die, Mattmatt

The structure of this game is fundamentally incompatible with the concept of a lynch switch.
..... Why the hell don't you speak more??
Agreed. Mata, there are no lynches. We lose lives based on votes. I don't know how to explain your post, whether you're baddie or civ.

And A Person, I get the impression that you think you don't have much to contribute to the game, but I agree with Devin that you should talk more! I think you tend to sasy insightful stuff when you do.

I do, Vomps! I think it's just how the site is.

Elohcin wrote:I don't know, after Lizzy's last post about not voting A P, I don't feel I can trust her. The post screamed of trying to save a baddie teammate.
Then, Mongoose's tone when she said she trusts lizzy and is nervous about a matt vote. I am beginning to wonder about her again as well.
This is a good point. As I said, I still don't trust the 'Goose, and her agreeing so readily with Lizzy is weird. My gut still says Lizzy is probably good, though. I don't know what to think any more, except that everyone is probably bad.

Lizzy wrote:Yes, because everyone piling up on Matt who already has quite a fair share of votes definitely means he's bad. If either Russti or Goosey are civ, please do not vote for Matt AP k. I mean, look at INH's post. He's not even trying anymore. ;P
If AP was bad, it would make sense for people not to defend him until they were worried he'd die, though. But that also applies if he is civ...

Honestly, INH might be bad, but he's done so little this game I have no read on him. I think he does tend to be forceful in his opinions. Because of the game structure every vote against a baddie can help, and we don't need a majority for a good result. So I'd rather spend a vote on someone I was more sure about, like Mata, than him. .

Yeah, her comments about AP were kinda weird. I feel like she would understand the dynamics more by this time (we've had a lot of nights where no one was lynched despite getting a lot of votes), so Im not really sure what to do with that information.

Don't worry, I think you have persuaded me about Mattmatt's alignment. I don't know what the helena, montana that INH is smoking.

I'll chat. I agree about Mata and I also trust Lizzy bean. I'm too nervous to vote Matt again, so I don't think I am inclined to do that, especially when he already has 3 votes.

I know I voted Matt last time, but if Lizzy really has civ vibes on him, I'll have a long think. I really think Lizzy is civ, so while not infallible, I will give a bit of credence to her opinion.

Lizzy Bean, do you have any other good leads on who you think we should eye today?

A Person wrote:i'd not mind a bondage gril

voted inh

Voting a tad early -- do you feel that strongly about INH?

Also I legit LOL'd when I read that as "Vomps was Bondage Girl".

Vompatti died trying to save Meat Ninja. He was Bandage Girl.

Hmm, I wonder who Vomps might sacrifice himself for...

Don't die, ole girl!

Devin the Omniscient wrote:Is it just me or is the room starting to feel MORE crowded?
Hedgie!

I will definitely feel up for an AP vote tomorrow after that result.

Also, since we are searching levels again, I will throw my selection out there now, not that it will do any good
I've selected # 12.
Laters.

Ugh, I already PM'd in 12. You have to change yours. Pick a sexier number, like 6 or something,

Let's not do that again, k.

That is not assuaging my trepidation!

I feel like I've had more convos about fiber than anything else this week. This has seriously got to change.

@ Russti - I figured that was because everyone came to their senses and realized I am not Dr Fetus.

@ Eloh - For real. I can't believe we are in Day 10 and still no luck. We gotta be getting close just due to attrition. I'm kinda worried this will be like Bioshock all over again where I was literally one the last 2 civs in a room of 8 baddies.

Let's not do that again, k.

I needed a little somethin', darlinface.

* Votes A (Fabulous) Person *

A Person wrote:My take?

You know, convince me you aren't whirly squirrely.

I'm still leaning toward Mattmatt, but would like to hear his take beforehand. I gotta vote at 6:59 before I start my commute home, so time's a tickin'!

I rubbed lotion into my eye. I blame Russti.

Vomps, I think you are coming off as sincere. Or if that just what you want us to think? I am going to give you the botd because you seem pretty empassioned (for you anyway).

How are we feeling about Vomps' Partner in Rhyme, MattMatt/A Person?

I didn't get it either.

No, this has been going on for years and years. Pre-internet even. Maybe I saw The Witches too many times as a kid.
I'd advise you to take a picture and show us, but I don't want some weird The Ring type situation happening.

Dang, I shoulda!

RE: Mongoose's daddy comment to "Dev" (I assume me): What you talkin' 'bout Willis? ... 'Dis time it's forealze, yo. Peace out!

Well now everyone probably thinks I'm baked, but I was mafiaing in the hotel's gym, which set me up for a comedy of errors. Totally misread that.

Hedgeowl wrote:RIP Epi!

Well, I now feel even more certain therr are baddies amongst my voters. That was quite the quick bandwagon. Vomps is definitely a surprising one and makes me wonder if Lizzy still thinks he is Dr. Fetus.

I dont know what to think about Lizzy and Elo's votes though. I think the reason Epi was lynched was he still has no votes. The baddies have a good shot at lynching those of us with lower life counts and NK'ing those who have no votes. I now wonder how many Llama/DP actually had. Its not looking good for me, but I urge others to vote for Vomps or AP.

*votes AP*

Would you recommend spreading the votes out between them or concentrating on one or the other?

Also this game is 75% less zany now that Jeffrey Llamer is dead

Is that a baddie train coming into the station? Vomps are you and Mattmatt being coached my darlings qm

Wow, congrats on becoming a daddy, Dev! I bet A"EX & BIRDY |ILL BE EXCLLENT IUNCLES

I'm here but I'm literally on a treadmill. At a hotel en route to home. Um it was 42F here. It was 82 when we left St Pete today. pretend this is green as I'm on my phone

Tomorrow we leave for the Panhandle of Florida (which is where I am from and which is why I have a bit of a lilty Southern accent, but it's faded over the years, or that's what Llama said anyway) to attend Thanksgiving dinner.

Which is why I'm packing. And James is...burning CDs. And drinking eggnog.

Anyway. That's where I will be. My family lives in the middle of the woods, so I rarely can get wireless reception. When I make my daily trips into town, I will be doing drive-by votes based on things I've likely already read, so if it sounds like I'm phoning it in, I am literally doing that. I'll find patches here or there to check in though.

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday (if you celebrate American Thanksgiving). Otherwise...Happy Thursday!

Sorry. I was thinking about that time I saw Allen Ginsberg in Hawaii.

So basically he was mod-killed in luau of Howl because he failed to vote etc?

Matahari wrote:mongoose, this would be so much easier if you would just tell us who your team is.

My team is every civilian everywhere, despite of nationality, race or creed. Civs need a fighting chance at life, and I am campaigning and advocating for that in every way.

Let's stand up for freedom! Stand up for liberty! And stand up for democracy.

Stand up, civs! Let your voice be heard. Only you can defend yourself adequately. Every man (civ) is an island, and we can't phone it in like the baddie team. They can rely on one another, without feel or reprisal or suspicion. Let's take back our power.

Stand with me, and stand for the civs.

Aww, I feel like she is probably not a bad sort.

Oh ok.

Jigsaw wrote:Actually my opinion is changing...not sure if I think its you anymore Mr. Devin.

This back to back switcheroo was weird; was it because you had a chance to re-read Devin? It was just really odd to me. (et al)

I decided Vomps is being a standard weirdo, and not a guilty weirdo.

I think Mattmatt deserves a second look but today I shall give him the benefit of the doubt since he has been more vocal in this game than I think any other game I've ever seen him in. That tends to make me think he's a-okay.

Jiggy's said some weird things, so today the vote will be getting Jiggy with it.

Wow, that will be easy to remember since it's the day before!

Vomps has fought me off his vote with sparkly, well thought out and articulate defense, so I won't be voting him today. Not so sure about Mattmatt though.

Vomperdoodle, you seem like you might be a bit shady. Are you a sketchy, shirty beast sent to break out hearts in the saddest fashion?
