Well I guess I should have previewed again. special ed, could you weigh in quickly please?
OK, this is why my gut tells me to trust your gut.
**Vote: gnarlycharlie **
Well, shit (no students in the room, I can cuss)
Did I just create a 3 way tie?
Uh, yeah. You did.
Thinking.
I should have caught up on the posts that happened while I was catching up
:smack:
Who is here? Let’s solve this.
I have a meeting in 10 minutes! Maybe I can avoid it.]
I’m considering shifting my vote, ed. Can you at least give me a reason on gnarlycharlie? I’m trying to go substantively here and I just haven’t examined him particularly, and time is short.
holy shit lol
I’m not confident in my vote for Sejk. He’s right when he accuses me of confirmation bias. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t guilty.
I find the case against gnarly compelling.
I find the case against Mahaloth somewhat…no pretty much it does nothing for me.
fubbles I could vote for. I just don’t like what went down between us yesterDay
By my count, about an half hour till EOD. Lot’s of changes in votes this late.
I’m still happy with my vote on Svejk, however, between Mahaloth and **gnarlycharlie ** I think gnarly would be the better of the two votes. I might be able to be convinced to switch my vote onto gnarly, if for no other reason I hate going into night with a tie!
On Preview: A three way tie! No, I can’t allow that at all!
Unvote Svejk
Vote gnarlycharlie
can you convince me to switch back to Svejk?
For gnarly, it’s the reasons for voting. Finding me suspicious, but not voting for me.
I’m looking for guiri’s post where he summed it up, give me a minute
A quick review of guiri’s posts (at least from 675 to 806)
These posts relate to his case against gnarly:
675, 677, 679, 681, 683, 784, 806
And these to his case agaisnt fubble (which can be combined with the odd behavior earlier in the game)
756, 760
I think we’re pretty much on the same page then, with the exception that I don’t really know enough about gnarly to be really comfortable.
I don’t like the Mahaloth vote especially on review. I never had a scum vibe on Mahaloth to begin with but to me he seems to be a pretty easy target for a vote. On a gut level too I have been increasingly suspicious of MentalGuy in particular, can’t quite put my finger on it, but he’s someone I mentally have on my list to investigate more thoroughly for tomorrow.
That said. Choie could be right that Sjevk is just a bit defensive due to newness – something I definitely have done – and I have been known to dig in my heels about someone too. My confidence level on that point is definitely lower after having time to reflect.
I can’t say I have strong reasons to believe gnarly is scum, but I don’t like where we’re at. On a hasty re-read I think ed is probably right that the reasons for voting just aren’t there, and some of gnarly’s posts seem designed to provoke and deflect rather than to really investigate what’s going on. So, screw it. I don’t want any ambiguity or shuffling around at the last minute to put us back into a tie state. Let’s see what happens.
unvote Sjevk
vote gnarlycharlie
Well, that should settle it
This is probably vague:
“I don’t like the Mahaloth vote especially on review. I never had a scum vibe on Mahaloth to begin with but to me he seems to be a pretty easy target for a vote.”
What I mean by this is that Mahaloth has been a bit defensive at times (no offense meant, just my perception) and it’s easy to vote for someone who gets a bit wound up, even though it’s not a particularly good scum tell. In the heat of the moment, it’s often hard to provide a good defense and saying one wrong thing or even not being terribly persuasive tends to make other people knee-jerk vote. That’s what I mean here. I don’t mean it’s a good vote, just an easy one.
In the last 20 minutes? Would probably take longer to compose my case… Besides, looking back on gnarly, I have seen the case against him, and I’m not against it. Honestly, I did have some pings against him, but didn’t want to vote him since I thought it seemed a bit OMGUSish.
I’m content with a gnarlycharlie lynch.
this is better than anything on daytime television
Oh, you would say that, Mr. Fubbleskag, but I know you’ve been snooping around for my family’s secret deed to the old Smith place!
Entertaining sure but I hate all these last minute vote switches, even if they’re on my candidate. Fingers crossed.
I’m sticking with my vote. I haven’t fully trusted Svejk since his last–minute switch to Inner and his subsequent screeds haven’t won me over. Not that it matters because suddenly everyone’s throwing mud at gnarlycharlie, which may be accurate (some of the folks I trust have been voting for him) but I’m just more in favor of a Svejk lynch.
If I thought there had been a chance of getting Scathach on the gallows, that’s where my vote would’ve gone.
WTF are you doing, the only time I have ever voted for myself was when I was scum and couldn’t see a way out, makes me think that my vote is good
