Which I guess is OK, but we do have a vote in the balance with 40 minutes to deadline.

I'm sensing a lot of blase on this vote, and I can't help but be a part of that. It doesn't seem worth the extra 10K to really affect the vote. And since we can't unvote, most of us are feeling done for the day, I'm guessing.

[claphamsa]

im on my couch watching hockey. Basketball sucks ass.

[mauchow]

Reaaalllyyy....

Considering I KNOW I'm not a wolf, I'm going to be double, triple, quadruple voting tonight. I've got 46k right now.

[Alan T]

Hoops, for discussion sake, you passed on money earlier for two people who appear right now on pace to miss yet another vote. Are you second guessing that move now?

[mauchow]

I will especially do this because I don't know if my beneficiary is a wolf or not, I don't want to help them out if he's a wolf.

[Passacaglia]

Hoops, if you're bored, you can dig into your BB-BBCF team, which is currently sitting at #3 in the nation now, despite a humiliating loss in its season opener.

We are watching the same thing.

But since I'm dead I really have nothing to add.

[RendeR]

My wife and I have been commenting all of the ugly features of the two sisters. We've decided her sister must be an ugly pagent model, she looks like she has rolls of fat and a moustache...

[claphamsa]

[Passacaglia]

Even when cronin's not playing, he's a wolf.

[claphamsa]

[RendeR]

DOH!

[RendeR]

Not a ton - I think it is almost a certainty that those guys are not Cutthroats if they are missing back to back votes. The wolves, as the minority (pretty safe assumption, right?), can't give up 15K per day. I don't think any of the Rich should do that either, but I don't get to send PMs to fellow Rich players either

They also would seem to be less attractive bribe options because they aren't accumulating money.

If this was a conventional game I would definitely be more frustrated by their lack of participation. On general principles, I'm frustrated by lack of participation. But I don't think that moving 6K to them is going to be even a medium-term problem.

I saw that - at this point I'm almost worried about messing up their flow

[DaddyTorgo]

I DIDN'T MISS THE FIRST VOTE AND I'M NOT MISSING THIS ONE!!!!!

I agree that the amounts sent are just small. However its less money available to spend on services or such if it ends up with someone who is just inactive. In normal games, I would be pushing to vote them off, but in this game to do so would likely mean removing money from our team, so it is a tough situation. Just not sure "rewarding" them with free money is a good answer either.

[DaddyTorgo]

i've been on the phone the last hour-plus with the lady, since climbing out of the shower from my workout.

I'm going to spell it wrong, but his vote earlier seemed suspicious. I think it was AC or somebody who noticed it first? tough to read and comprehend with a phone to your ear, but he put in a driveby vote basically.

and I have nothing more to go on.

VOTE MAUBOY1

Correct. I put it in the first tally as a joke, thinking with your comment you were in on it. Whoops.

[mauchow]

Personally, I'd look at the person who first said, "Mau's vote had no basis so I'll vote for him." Why? Because I had no basis for my vote except for random. So I vote for someone who voted for me and now all of a sudden I'm a target. I can understand that someone is going to go home and it happens to be me.

But MY guess is that sndvls and I are both innocents rich bastards.

If you guys think about it, why would the wolves get any money to start? They're trying to get our money because they have none. Which is why it takes four days before we actually get the option to end the game.

Wolves getting $100,000 to start doesn't make any sense either.

That's my thought on that... fwiw

[Mr. Wednesday]

SnDvls hasn't voted yet, has he?

[Mr. Wednesday]

I've got no read on anything here.

Works out well for you considering you're my beneficiary and you're getting none of it.

THat does not make any sense mathematically to me at all whatsoever.

If Hoops is a wolf, then i can't take what he said at face value. But if he is good, then based on what he says about what he got from Lathum, there isn't any realistic way the wolves even would have a chance to win by day 4, 8 or even 10 unless we just totally blew up and made a horrible mistake.

[mauchow]

I invested in a 1 day CD, wow, that was hard to figure out.

[mauchow]

Sorry, after viewing PM, its actually $46,500. My bad.

except that only pays back at 10500, so you still only have 45,500...

[claphamsa]

we need the popcorn smiley.... this is gonna be exciting!

see my previous post...the most you could possibly have on hand is 45,500

[mauchow]

cuz he's annoying me right now...
vote saldana

[DaddyTorgo]

sorry, I said AC and meant SnDvls. Told you, my attention hasn't been here hardly at all.

tough game with very little to go on info-wise (so far), no chance of votes/unvotes and still in the beginning stages.

[saldana]

its a 5% interest rate...if you put in 10k, you only get 10,500 back

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'm not wild about the Chief's drive-by vote on hoops.

VOTE Chief Rum

[hoopsguy]

Quick question - and I'm possibly being very dense here - does money change hands on the lynch? I thought the lynch was "bankrupting" the person, which would relieve them of their money. Do they still pass money on via beneficiary, or is that only night kills that pass money on through these means?

If it is only night kills that pass money to beneficiary (what I have assumed) then I think it is just about impossible for the wolves to start with less money than the rest of us and have a shot at winning without having big-time numbers to start.

[mauchow]

Don't ask me, ask Chief Rum, my pm says 46,500. DaddyT is going to get $6,500 from me.

Someone asked that about Swaggs yesterday and Barkeep said that bankrupting them removes all of their money from the game.

[DaddyTorgo]

I need to put in my actions to redistribute my $$ now. I'm still wandering around with my cash I gained from voting.

I don't understand what Chief Rum has to do with any of this..

What happened with Swaggs's money?

[mauchow]

Good question.. I dunno, hoops.

vote saldana

[hoopsguy]

Alan, I'm not sure the Swaggs example applies as he never named a beneficiary on Night 0.
