WW CXLVI: Portal GAME OVER - Test8

[Narcizo]

Well you're obviously not as forward-thinking as me then.

[Darth Vilus]

Checking in, let's do this thing!

[Raiders Army]

VOTE THE JACKAL

Well, because he's in the thread and because he's the jackal. No other reason.

[hoopsguy]

I'm going to put a vote down now - have a conference call, then off to (rainy) Wrigley Field to watch some baseball.

Wait, that probably doesn't happen in Portal-verse. Um, I'm going to have to re-submit some tests of some sort for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time ... yeah, that is in flavor for the game, right?

Since I had to be nice to him all of last game, I'll switch gears for this one and put a 2nd vote on him ...

VOTE JACKAL

[Julio Riddols]

It seems that color does matter in some peoples eyes. I'm just a tester like the rest of you.. I think. My vote is a vote of retribution. When Julio hands you lemon chiffon, vote for someone else.

VOTE JAG

[Raiders Army]

I almost want to vote for Julio for mentioning lemon chiffon.

[KWhit]

I'll vote for one who hasn't checked in yet:

VOTE CHUBBY

[Darth Vilus]

It is so hard to concentrate on WW and write a paper at the same time lol. I really hate school sometimes

[Julio Riddols]

I think I like Lemon Chiffon. It's whimsical. Light and airy. Sunny.

[Passacaglia]

It's a shame that he's so fine.

[Zinto]

I am voting fir Autumn for being a pain in my side the last game.

Vote Autumn

[hoopsguy]

Last time getting to see the thread before departing for the day. I see my candidate is one of 5 in a two-way tie. No compelling reasons to move it elsewhere, so I'm going to hope that I blindly stumbled on someone compelling either today or in the coming days.

Good luck the rest of the way, hope that the first vote yields a positive result for us.

[GoldenEagle]

I never played the video game, so I am probably going to be a bit lost on the Portal related stuff. I tried to play a flash version but got bored rather quickly. Anyway, no clue who to vote for on day 1. As we know, these are always a crap-shoot. I guess if someone does not check in, then that will be the person who most likely gets my vote (although the odds of them being a wolf are pretty slim).

[GoldenEagle]

VOTE THE JACKAL

I am making this vote to break the tie and see if we can get some movement going one way or the other.

[The Jackal]

FWIW, I'm vanilla. Although in this situation I'd be fairly excited to see what kind of awesome death sequence Crimson comes up with for me.

[Darth Vilus]

Vote Autumn
Putting this down so I dont forget later

[The Jackal]

I'm working overtime today so I really won't be around much more to comment

[The Jackal]

unvote narcizo

[The Jackal]

vote golden eagle

Apparently "I must remember to vote for Autumn" is on a lot of people's lists.

[Autumn]

Unlike those who killed me in the Dungeon game, I hate deciding who should leave the game early. However, I find it easy to decide it shouldn't be me. I am vanilla, so I don't mind being in the running, but let's see who else should be in it with me.

Looks like GE, Jackal and me in the lead at the moment. I swore long ago I wouldn't vote GE for no reason after he left a game because of my blunder. So I will

unvote kwhit
vote the jackal

[CrimsonFox]

>*BLEEPZ*<

You are doing so well after beginning today with some slightly challenged testers who don't know the difference between an Aperture Science Official Tester and an Aperture Science Official Party Cake and an Aperture Science Official Mary.

The following votes have been tabulated on the Aperture Science Official Radioactive Vote Tabulator and are locked in.

Have a nice day.



Julio Riddols - JAG, Simbo Klice
JAG - Barkeep, Julio_Riddols
Zinto - britrock
Autumn - PackerFanatic, Zinto, Darth_Vilus
Narcizo - The_Jackal
KWHIT - Autumn
GoldenEagle - bhlloy, Narcizo
The_Jackal - Raiders_Army, hoopsguy, GoldenEagle
Chubby - KWHIT

[CrimsonFox]

We wait in joyful anticipation for the following to complete this test.


Have not voted: Ragone, Chubby, tyketime, Passacaglia, Marc Vaughn

[bhlloy]

Well that's interesting. Doesn't make our lives any easier that's for sure

Who is voting for you because of the dungeon game, you did nothing but try to help me win by thinning out the competition. My memory goes much farther to a time when we were hunting a holy grail. That is where my pain lies.

[CrimsonFox]

Did you know that if you listen into the ear of a fellow Aperture Science Tester you can hear the ocean?

*>CHIRP<*

[Julio Riddols]

Just need 2 cups and a string..

Your request is granted. Here is "My Sweet Lo--" I mean "He's So Fine."



*>CHIRP<*

[Passacaglia]

Thanks. I was combining that with a Lemonheads reference (It's A Shame About Ray), but I didn't have the whole song title in that half, so it was a pretty poor reference, I guess.

Anyway,

VOTE GOLDENEAGLE

I want to see what happens with this things being a 3-way race, and with JAG and JR voting each other, GE is the only one who really makes that the case.

[Passacaglia]

Tiebreak rules?

[CrimsonFox]

Julio Riddols - JAG, Simbo Klice
JAG - Barkeep, Julio_Riddols
Zinto - britrock
Autumn - PackerFanatic, Zinto, Darth_Vilus
Narcizo - The_Jackal

GoldenEagle - bhlloy, Narcizo, Passacaglia

I didn't mean anyone was voting me for that game. I meant that nobody showed me any mercy in that game ;-) Still bitter.

[Autumn]

I'm sure someone will have missed it, so let me explicitly point out that it seems we cannot change our votes in this game.

WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR VOTES. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

[tyketime]

Well Autumn, looks like you've made a few more friends since I last played.

This is more often than not my Day 1 strategy as well. But with the twist of not being able to change your vote, it would seem a different strategy is required.

Is this the case, or did the people who switched way before CF's post get their switch recorded?

Either way, bad news for trying to flush out wolves. With no vote switching late I don't know how the hell we are supposed to get anything from voting patterns. If this holds for the rest of the game I'm not a big fan. Hopefully more of a one shot or occasional deal

[Autumn]

I don't think "no show" votes are a good idea, though I've certainly been guilty of them in the past. We leave them with no way to defend themselves if they have an important role.

[bhlloy]

No idea why Narcs post got quoted there as well as the one I was replying to. Weird

Oh no! I definitely did not read the rules well enough to see that we could not change our votes.

[bhlloy]

Looks like nobody switched until Jackal and his didn't get recorded. So yeah

[Zinto]

Agreed, no reason to vote for someone on day one if they don't show up since it has bit us in the butt before.

[Zinto]

It is going to be interesting to see how the voting plays out because we are going to have a lot of throw away votes today probably, since we can not change our votes.

[GoldenEagle]

I missed the no vote change as well.

[tyketime]

Ugh - this is a bit of a jam. Would love to get some reaction from the three in the "lead". And Zinto - you are right - this will make voting pattern more difficult. I certainly have no info at this point to sway me one way or the other among the three. My other option is toss a vote somewhere else. We could at least figure out the tie-breaker mechanism if it remains that way.

[tyketime]

I suppose I could also vote either JR or JAG and bring a 4th into the mix. Not sure what that would accomplish.

Autumn - you wanted to change your vote to The Jackal. That would have put him in the outright lead. Self-preservation only, or did you have another reason?

[JAG]

Just wanted to say, I did not recall anything in the rules about this and there is in fact nothing in the rules about this. It's possible this only applies for today or someone used an action to lock in votes, though I'll admit that's far-fetched.

Not saying we shouldn't assume we will be able to change votes in future days, but just getting it out there that we don't know that this will always apply.

It's going to make D1 analysis more difficult unfortunately.
