That's definitely not how I usually see PB go down.

Hmm, that didn't sound as bad before I typed it.

Alan T · 05-13-2009, 07:32 PM

Ok, so you feel Telle's posts and actions were trying to protect ntn, and you feel that it is more then just being against voting someone for being quiet?

I personally don't have a problem with voting quiet people out if no other options show up myself, just curious why specifically Telle when other people mentioned the same reservations about voting for ntn?

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:33 PM

Her Abe vote was about protecting ntn, her me vote pushed that agenda as well, I don't think anybody else did that twice.

Was Abe quiet or was I?

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:35 PM

Sorry, misunderstood what you said, ignore above.

I do appreciate PB's participating in this mini-discussion though. I notice Eaglefan sitting around watching without much thought. EF, what are your thoughts on PB since you have your vote on him. Why do you feel he is a good lynch choice?

Sorry, in and out of the room making chili. My vote is only there because it was there before the run. I have no feel that he is a wolf at this point to be honest. Usually he has claimed to be seer by now if he were a wolf.

I was hoping to be able to hop my vote around some more today (to play up the whole theme of the game a bit) but then it looked like I needed it as self defense.

I would not be against moving my vote but that wouldn't help me much at the moment, unless I move it to ntn as it will be a wash for me at that point.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:35 PM

Alan, ask yourself, on day 1 would you move to protect someone that is quiet when everything seems to be a shot in the dark anyway? Come on, I think you know better than that.

I'm just asking questions, I don't think you want to be snippy with me when I can easily vote you here

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:38 PM

And frankly, I can't get irritated about anything right now, Pens up 2-0.

I didn't think I was being snippy, my point was that I think you and I both know that that is a hell of an odd choice for someone and then to do it twice on day 1.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:39 PM

Oh, another reason I can't vote for EF: See my sig.

He didn't really seem snippy to me. Why would you vote for someone for being snippy, anyway? I know we don't have much to go on during Day 1, but we're voting to catch wolves, not snippy people.

If you are so sure in the Telle - NtN thing why not answer your questions and move your vote to NtN. Not only does it give you insight into that dynamic it also serves to give you some breathing room.

There were alot of things I found odd about people's votes today.

dubb93 · 05-13-2009, 07:40 PM

It just seems like it is going to be hard to get someone else to come in and save you when you seem to be phoning it in with a throwaway vote.

Poli · 05-13-2009, 07:41 PM

UNVOTE ABE
VOTE TELLE

I'm not in a PB happy camp after last camp, but I'm rushed and I think his thinking is just as good as anyone else's.

Poli · 05-13-2009, 07:42 PM

SONOFA
UNVOTE ABE
VOTE TELLE

vote ntn

Poli · 05-13-2009, 07:42 PM

Gotta go, I'm late for church, that by no means is a hit and run.

I think your definition of snippy is different then mine. He had been up till that point responding in a way that seemed at least somewhat realistic , which is different then how Eaglefan responded to the few questions I asked him (although EF said he was distracted I guess). Then PB turned to the "Come on you know better" arguement which never sits well with me. At least it isn't very conductive to discussion that was occurring. My point is I can instead of trying to spend time and getting a feel for which way I want to vote, to just vote for him and get it over with. (Since even though he is leading by one vote right now, it is essentially tied since he can move his vote at will)

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:42 PM

Okay, I'm between those two. If you guys go Telle, I'm going there. If it stays ntn, I'm going there. Poli, thanks.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:45 PM

Poli, sorry. That is my preference, although frankly for my reasoning one is likely as good as the other.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:45 PM

*as good a choice as the other that is

dubb93 · 05-13-2009, 07:46 PM

I guess that is what I was asking earlier.. you said your vote was on Telle instead of ntn because of the telle - ntn factor. If that was the case, why keep it on telle and not just move it to ntn. I did not get that. It felt more to me that you were doing two things.. 1) Trying to keep options open and 2) keep ntn's vote count lower in order to attract more votes to him. (People are more likely to tie it up then to vote someone ahead in those cases)

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:47 PM

I think ntn might be up by 1. I'll make it a tie by voting what Ibelieve since Poli stood by me:

unvote ntn

vote telle

I hear you on that -- although I think that kind of talk happens by many on here. Your post just came off like "be nice to me or I'll vote you"

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:48 PM

Ah, no biggie, just saw that that put me up by 1. If I'm going down in this one, I'll go down with what I believe, right or wrong. Thanks Poli, and I do mean that.

I still don't get this. If you believe ntn and Telle are conspiring together, you are going to go down to a lynch by not voting ntn??

And that's the other reason I pulled the self-defense vote off. That was meant more as I believe that Alan is intelligent and would likely see it the same way as me. But if I wasn't nice, then I deserve to be voted for and the time shouldn't be wasted on getting my side.

Oh I'm not afraid to use a be nice to me or I'll vote you.. but I'm trying to play differently because of out of game reasons (imo) now. So instead of just assuming I know best, I guess I'm trying to actually understand reasoning.

In the following cases:

PB - I don't understand his reason for telle over ntn
EF - Seems like he doesn't have a good reason other than it is not him
NTN - didn't really say much other than don't vote for him.

So it is a struggle

Alan, I read your comment the same way Pass did. So maybe it's my misunderstanding.

EagleFan · 05-13-2009, 07:52 PM

Is suicidal one of the hidden roles?

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:53 PM

Ha, not here if it is. Although I guess my win condition would be dying!

Alan T · 05-13-2009, 07:53 PM

For the record, this 8pm deadline is horrible!

My daughter has to go to bed in a minute, and I'm still undecided. Once I leave, I likely won't get back before the deadline.. so guess I need to decide.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:54 PM

At least deadline is between periods.

EagleFan · 05-13-2009, 07:54 PM

I am confused by one thing PB. If you feel there is a Telle/ntn connection why not go after the one of those two that will help get your tail out of the fire?

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:55 PM

Will I probably switch, yeah, but I have a stronger feeling of Telle's play than ntn's. The dynamic between the two was much more her and may have been to garner trust. So it's going to be interesting if my desire to stick with what I believe or self-preservation wins out here.

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:56 PM

*Garner his trust, that is.

Well since you only have 7 to decide, it's not a big deal!

ntndeacon · 05-13-2009, 07:56 PM

Although I am glad someone was in my corner before Icould be. If Telle is a needie, then she is using my soon to be discovered innocence to enhance her reputation.

Alan T · 05-13-2009, 07:58 PM

ok, I guess I'll bite the bullet and see if there is anything about ntn. I'll not vote PB primarily because he was willing to at least discuss things with me. I considered voting EF, but with the way the votes currently are, this seems the better choice.

Vote ntndeacon

PurdueBrad · 05-13-2009, 07:58 PM

ntn, if I have to switch to you for self-defense AND you're good, then I am sorry.
