That is what I was thinking too, although I am sure the repubs wont look at it like that at all. Oh well, my vote is out there.

Speaking of AWOL members -- how come we never hear from Henry? IF we are to make an effort to get him reseated, I'd like to have some tiny idea that he sint' a wolf.

I agree with you and I don't know. I don't remember seeing anything from him stating working habits or anything. Maybe someone else remembers or can find it easier than I?

I'm more suspicious of Mrs Schmidty than them personally.

Henry, Mrs. S, PB, Prez Illini and, until lately, RendeR have been mostly AWOL this game. That bothers me mightily.

Chubby, question on your 746 post. How does your campaign being sabotaged by a non-wolf make you trust others? I still don't see it after reading your post. If a non-wolf made a move, especially if that was on their own, to sabotage you how could a wolf do anything to prevent that?

Even if the Democratic wolves found that out, why would they want to go out of their way to stop it? They want you out of power no matter which party they are in. Especially if this helps them gain more votes.

I'm not sold on the rest of the party not knowing. They have been very coordinated in their actions publicly thus far.

A wolf wouldn't stop it if a non-wolf was sabotaging another non-wolf. That's exactly my point I think they WOULD stop it if it was on another wolf.

This is why I trust KWhit and henry more than I did previously. I think that the rest of the Repubs did know what was going on and that if KWhit and henry were wolves, the Repub wolves would have stopped it or another wolf would have blocked the sabotage.

Crap, I think I am getting lathum and kwhit mixed up... yah I got them mixed up.

This would be why I trust lathum and henry more than I used to. I still am not convinced KWhit is bad.

Got my response from CR. He says this:

Quote:
I am inclined to believe this would pass muster judicially even with the roles out there, if it is acceptable to the party to have a very low percentage for the identifying clause. I would suggest 10%. I have much more of an issue with a higher percentage on that than on the save percentage, which I would be willing to go much higher (50% is my first suggestion, but I am far more open on that).>>
> >
That would be tight enough of a roll to pass as a fourth role, IMO, without crossing over into being too strong.>>

What do you think? Go with these percentages? Or try 75% chance to protect with no chance at identification or something like that?

10% ID is about as good as no chance. I think we beef up the protection to 66 or 75 and drop the ID

Yep. That was my thinking. I sent it back with 75% and 0% to see if that would be okay.

Since you can see that you've been slurried, we probably want to use a little deception. I wish I had a read on who their more vulnerable members might be, but they all did about equally well.

I say 1 slurry each on their awols -- PB and Mrs. S. Maybe the 3rd on Ty. Then, in the election year, try to slam Heinze with the hope of knnocking him off, getting henry's seat back, and also pulling his over.

Attacking the middle ultimately seems like the most effective way to regain control of the Chamber.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Repub bill will get striken down? I'd love if it it passes and makes it thru but with CR seemingly already curbing our power how is that one going to make it???

Just venting here for a minute as opposed to the regular thread... /sigh

Intriguing. Heinze and RendeR are essentially throwing the Speaker's race to us. Hopefully Pass will surface and tell me why.

so I am still foggy on the political side of this..

Isn't it odd that Heinze is sponsoring a bill that is likely destined to fail?

Isn't that wolfish?

I decided to vote against their bill. I don't feel that I can take a political hit on a Repub bill (especially if it is overturned - which I assume adds another political hit).

Also, I would rather us not vote as a block today. I put my vote where I would like to keep it. I might change if I need to to save someone who I feel strongly is a villager, but I'd rather not just change due to partisanship like I did last night.

Right now heinze and pass jump out at me. I think my vote is going on heinz but will protect a Dem if needed (unless there's a dem that jumps out as wolf soon)

What kind of bill is the Republican Bill? There is no chance at what-so-ever that bill passes. If Chubby's bill yesterday was too much, this is WAY too much.

I have two congressional elections that I can swing, I tried to use one last night to swing a powerful democrat who I thought was vulnerable but that person used one of their own swing abilities so I still have my two. If that person wants to come forward they can, they haven't so far so I don't know if they simply want to keep it to themselves or what but I respect that choice as well and won't name names.

I will use one of my swings on myself tomorrow night to assure reelection. I would hope that if KWhit and henry have similar abilities then they will do the same thing to ensure they get reelected as well.

I want to get a wolf tonight, i think party wise we need to get a Republican wolf since we're being forced into partisan crap by the Repubs. If someone has a very good Dem wolf vote then I'm not against doing that as well but I haven't seen anything to point to that yet.

I have an ability swing an election, so if I'm not censured, I'll be back in power.

I'm placing my vote on heinz he's pinging the highest right now for me.

I'll be online off and on the rest of the night, I should be on at deadline but I took a beating from the girlfriend last night for being on the computer for as much as I was so I doubt I'll be able to be on for a couple hours straight.

At least she had a midshift today enabling me some comp time now

I'm going to go ahead and send that in because there's a slight chance I may not be back on before deadline and I want to get something in. So if you have any serious objections to that list let me know and I can send in a change to it when I get home later.

Hi guys,

Sorry for being AWOL most of the day. As I mentioned, I'm in training this week and thought it would be good for WW as I can multi-task. Unfortunately our table of 6 only has 2 network connections. I was unable to use one today as others needed it.

I just made a long post in the general thread with my thoughts on last night's activities. While I think being the speaker was good, the veto decision cost us.

As for sabotage, do we have anyone with that power? I know that a couple of us have power to swing the election in our favor. My power is to use my popularity to help myself or another member win their election. I think the republicans can use thiers to make someone lose.

As for the wolf vote, I thank everyone for their support last night and while it might've hurt packer, the veto was a bigger impact, which the republicans also supported and would've done if they were speaker. That's just bad luck.

As for me as a wolf, I don't know what to say. If a wolf was on the block, I think the other wolves would've pushed for a non-partisan vote because the most likely scenario yesterday with no data was a tie.

For tonight, I'm going to support either heinz or tyrith as a wolf, but won't vote until I get home and will make sure it isn't a 100% partisan vote (even though I'm not a democrat).
