Fact Check: that post actually has a price.....37 cents, to be precise
(this includes electricity used and my own personal energy spent typing it out)

It's simple mathematics.

Votes + Random Switching = Pressure



Written algebraically it's RVS=P

EBWOP: Dunno if preclude was the correct word to use in post 193...I feel it was, though.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Of course early on D1 it seems to sometimes be more like: votes + (pressure x scrutiny) = random switching ;)

so, i flopped like a fish from bookwyrm because yeah, i noticed the RF when i read it the first time, but felt it wuld be better left to the target (going off my memory, that was ZFR) to react before i voted. then, i voted. not getting the whatsit i wanted, (AS I SAID EARLIER) i switched to random.org because i had forgotten to do that to start, thus breaking "tradition (TM)".

thatnks to those who responded to my theory.

@ZFR I see your answer now, thanks. I don't see it as a very strong reason, but w/e.

@Pooka if you're still sick, get unsick. That's an order from the palace guards!

@Catte where wast thou? also, you haven't contributed enough off the top of my head to D1
(note to everyone, I wing everything on at least D1, not taking notes, etc)

vote catte

Sorry about that, I got derailed by my housemate getting back after several days away.


I like Leoric's posts so far, newbie protection aside I would not vote for them today.

Wouldn't vote for dedo, Bookwyrm, Lift or ZFR today either. Dogmaus and Mango have newbie exemption so I guess at this point in time that leaves:

Marlin Hoover – a.k.a. flubbucket
Reagan Mann – a.k.a. GymHenson
Saber Morrison – a.k.a. Microfish
Pence Pramson – a.k.a. JoeSapphire

My vote is already on GH but I would switch to one of the others to avoid NL.

I keep forgetting I'm playing this game xD

It's awesome that you remember every now and again after all. The next step would be to actually participate every time you do. Crazy, right?

LOL, ok, understood.

Also, agree about Leo. He just projects this air of always being the good guy, and he's usually on the "good guy" side.
Would not vote now, even if today was D2.

++++++++++++++++++

Lift I like so far. I know everyone is going to say this is [pretend-that-I-picked-the-wrong-forum-mafia-acronym-and-insert-the-correct-one-HERE], but last game I had to constantly verbally disagree with him because he was correct in his policies and, as scum, I was afraid of him.

++++++++++++++++++++++

How would you react to an accusation of this-being-coaching?

++++++++++++++++++++

I want to see more of Joe. I like him being in games and he sat out the last one so I don't want to eject him straight off. :'(
Same goes for Flubbucket & Bookwyrm.

Would vote to avoid NL: anyone who played in game 72 who is also in game 73 (except me).
Further notes:
N/A on Dedo & ZFR.
Lift, I already commented on. GH could be scum or a scum distraction, but he actually talks. Games are much less vocal when he isn't in here stirring up & around the proverbial pot with his keyboard. Or his Binocs and fAmOuS bReAdCrUmBs.... er... BrEaDlOaFs. Since silent games get boring, and we all want to avoid boring, it might be in the games' best interest to keep him around to D2 or 3?

What a co-inky-dink ;D

Why start a new wagon so late into D1? Why not an established wagon like myself or Joe?

You raise an interesting query here......it seems that Dedo is trying to help the newcomer Mango and Book is trying to help the newcomer Leoric. Of course one pair could maybe be scum, but if so the question is which?

Well I am up to being the lynch but also want to play, and want to keep you around a bit more as well, so if I don't vote you today(d1) then it's either Joe or we try(with a day or so IRL time left) to try for someone else.

Now I have to ask, could THIS be possible pocketing?

Reagan waves his hand in the air dismissively to the notion "Nah, fate wouldn't make him scum again......would it?"

All that aside, I do try to make the games more lively as best I can(of course I don't always SUCCEED, but I do try ;D)

Now who to vote for: Joe, or someone else?

I won't vote the newbies(Dogmaus/Mango/Leoric) for D1, and am giving you(Micro) a free pass for at least today(d1) as well.....hmmm.....

Dang Micro. I haven't seen so many death flags from one person since I last read a romance+tragedy manga.

JOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEE Where are you?

Show up or i won't give you a free pass to D2, which I *really* want to do...

+++++++

you... read manga?

Also, I don't follow?
(see pic)

Eat a booger tough guy! I don't never have to show you nothing.

And why are you throwing gauntlets at dedoporno??

I won't argue with you on some of your points.

However, the sheer volume of text is daunting. Which is why I've commented...IIRC

The low level narrative which can manifest is... thinking a specific player said something. But upon searching I can't seem to find the comment. You see my point.

Not damning by itself, but enough for me to point it out.

But they don't taste good....
not throwing gauntlets, per se, just more... peering at the gauntlet(s) from all sides with a magnifying glass, in preparation for perhaps picking it up at some point?

Explain why you think I was punting? what, and to whom or for what purpose?
+++++++++

Avoiding NL is our top priority. Would somebody please admit to being scum already? this figuring-things-out-deduction-town stuff is so hard. far easier when i was scum and sweating all the time. i'd rather have sweat in my eyes than have to use my brain. ;-)

(Just before the end of RVS, bragging rights trio include Flub, Book, Mango, and ZFR)
