Idle Thoughts : If memory serves this business of “the third vote is a scum tell” was hashed over in previous games. That’s why I was surprised you hadn’t seen it.
[/QUOTE]
Huh. Go figure. I’ve never seen it discussed before.
Oh, and I don’t know if I’m too late or what but unvote Malacandra.
Now it should be a tie again.
Kat’s last post and reason for voting just doesn’t sit well with me and after reading a lot of posts from others about the zuma/Mal thing, I’ve been slowly ebbing off my huge suspicions on him too.
[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts]
I actually find this shady a bit. Just saying that he happens to be the only one you have enough suspicions to vote for (and do so) but make no mention of the fact that you and him are currently tied and this is the killer vote.
[QUOTE]
I actually typed something about that out before I submitted the post, and then deleted it because it sounded like I was making excuses.
So he just so happens to be the “only” player you’re suspicious enough to vote for and, by sheer coincidence, be the one who is tied with you for most votes?
Crap, if you’re going to vote for him because you want to see him hang instead of you and don’t want to risk your head being in the noose, just be honest and say so.

Just saying that he happens to be the only one you have enough suspicions to vote for (and do so) but make no mention of the fact that you and him are currently tied and this is the killer vote. If anything, that’s at least a bit understandable. That you’d vote for him to save your own neck. But you make no mention of that here in your post and, instead, make it sound like you just “happen” to be voting for him because he “happens” to be the “only” person you have suspicions over. :dubious:
[/QUOTE]
Dubious indeed. But I still will not vote for Kat, despite a strong temptation.
Go on, someone, say that’s a cunning bluff of scummy proportions.
Incidentally, if you’d read my subsequent posts, you’d have noticed I was perfectly aware of the tie situation. But no matter how I worded it “I know this vote puts him one vote over me, but that’s not why I’m voting for him” didn’t sound anything but bad to me.
Okay, looking back at your most recent posts, your second to last post before you just voted for Mal read (post 1183):
[QUOTE=Kat]
Yes, I did. I’m just not sure why that makes it non-scummy.
At this point, though, I’m starting to doubt my reasoning for the vote, so I’ll unvote sachertorte. You’ve still got an FOS, though.
Now I have to go find somebody else to vote for. Too bad Mad’s incommunicado, he’s my traditional backup vote.
[/QUOTE]
Bolding mine.
It sounds here like you have no suspicions then, really. So where did all the Mal ones come from then all of a sudden? If it was from all the stuff that he did earlier (which is why I and a few others are/were voting for him) why didn’t you say something or act sooner? This just seems off. Again, if you were throwing your vote in for him just so it would safeguard against you being dunked, then why wouldn’t you say that? Instead you make it sound like it just happened to be the “only” one you have suspicions about, even though prior to that vote, you never mentioned him at all and even said you need to “find someone else to vote for”.
I never really had any pings from you or from ArizonaTeach as of yet, but nothing that made me feel otherwise either. Now, with this and other things from earlier that others have been going on about for a bit, I’m starting to majorly swing that way.
How much time is left for Day anyway? By my clock it should have ended three hours ago.
And on preview, you say:
I have and the last two posts before your vote just now, you make a joke about not "FOS"ing MadtheSwine at all and then the post I quoted above where you say, word for word “I have to go find somebody else to vote for.”
This sounds like you didn’t, previously, have much to go on with Mal, yet two posts later, you’re voting for him saying that he’s the only one you’re suspicious of. What are they? And if they were the things everyone else (including myself) voted for him for, why did you say, two posts prior to that, that you didn’t have anyone to vote for yet?
Day ended at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, or an hour and 27 minutes before your post 1279. I convinced myself that my first 2 replies weren’t strategizing, but I can’t believe myself anymore, so I’ll hold off replying to you unril Dawn.
Well that’s all well and good but I’m at a college right now that is closing at four thirty (PST–that’s in about 25 minutes) and probably won’t be able to get on again until tomorrow. And I rarely get on before noon PST (which sucks since BM runs the game based on EST.
So I plan to cast a vote again before I go and, if possible, it’d be nice to hear any explanations you may have/offer.

I just went back to my apartment really quick and on the way pondered over what this could mean. Then it hit me, you think that BM wouldn’t count anything said or votes after the deadline his time.
So if that’s the case, I’m sorry if I broke the “no strategizing/voting after dusk” rule and I’ll shut up now. :eek:

I don’t have time before the 5pm bell to reply to fluiddruid’s response, but I encourage other townies to read my arguments and her response carefully, because while she said a lot of words, she did not address my concerns and has actually increased her scum-dar reading for me. I’d love to at least see fluiddruid make the tie-break round with a couple late votes so that I may respond before Day’s end.
[/QUOTE]
Dude, I did respond to your concerns. Read my post. Maybe they weren’t the responses you were fishing for, but they were point-by-point responses nonetheless.
[QUOTE=Captain Klutz]
Did Blaster extend the day? If he did I must have missed the announcement…
[/QUOTE]
He did float the idea [post=8752929]here[/post]. I think the majority was either “don’t care” or “leave as is” so I doubt it has been.
How about that! Learned how to link to posts in context. Thanks to rowrrbazzle for explaining it in ATMB recently enough that I remembered it…
