I doubt anyone has had time to make a video about it yet. The news only came out like two hours ago. But yeah, I'm so distraught about this.

Why'd you ping me?

Daniel Greene is very swift

His video was the headline I saw.

@IcedOutPenguin I think it's you, and the elims want to let all the village vote for TJ so their votes dissapear, while members of the elim vote for village to get up their votes for next time.

@StrikerEZ Wait, nevermind. i got mixed up. when penguin said

I had been arguing with penguin and thought he was talking about me. Sorry!

Also @IcedOutPenguin how do you go about joining the 'how to kill a shadow dragon' rp?

My thing about not having voted TJ these last two cycles is because I am nothing if not a conservative, and I know that once someone gets executed everyone who votes for them, for all intents and purposes, gets less voting power in the next cycle. I for my want to stay in the game as much as the next person, so I want more voting power. If you want to be at my throat that's fine. 

Until further notice, I'm switching my vote to BBB

I feel like this might be taken as "You voted me? Well then I'll vote you," but I've been pressuring Penguin a lot, and I feel like his explanation for voting me is weak. He might have slipped.

Ima be honest, I voted for you at the start of this cycle because of last cycle, which I basically chose a random person and voted for them.

But also, how else do you expect me to react? You've been pressuring me.  I'm new. It's it to much to assume I might not have a reason for voting someone?

You're right. I remember my last game (also my first), not being able to figure out for whom to vote. That being said, until further notice, I'm keeping my vote on you. You won't get exed, but I still don't want my vote to get wasted on a |TJ| train.

That's why I'm not voting TJ to

I did the same thing last cycle, but we should focus TJ to ensure he gets exed. Once we know his alignment we can make further decisions. Having votes on other people with minimal reasoning benefits the elims more than the village.
Best case scenario: you vote for an elim and the rest of the town agrees and would have exed that person regardless

 Worst case scenario: you vote for a townsperson and the elims pile on that person. 

It’s better to vote on people we have suspicions on.

I do have suspicions on Penguin, though. It looks like TJ's getting exed no matter what, so I want to make sure that my vote counts.

If I have gotten any of these votes wrong, or missed something, please let me know.

There are 14 hours left in turn 3: Introspection

[Aster]

hi! sorry for all my rampant inactivity

it's been a busy couple of days and it's looking like it'll be a busy couple more. I think we probably have enough votes on tj (eleven seems kinda like overkill!) so i'm happy they're getting exed and i support it, but i think my vote would go to better use somewhere else.

i like kas, striker, spirit, and kelsier, and i'm discounting demon/yevad from my analysis. That leaves tinwatcher, negativenull, worldhopper, penguin, TUO, and bagsworth in my poe. out of those, i think i'll vote @Tinwatcher for now. i remember being suspicious of them, but i really can't be bothered to go search for why, and if tinwatcher decides to tell me who they think is suspicious and why, i'd love that. same goes for everyone else in my poe (particularly negativenull).

am i being a hypocrite? yes. can you stop me? absolutely not

You thought I was sus cuz I had really weak reasonings for who I was voting.

this round I’m just jumping on the wagon and voting tj

No worries, welcome back.

To be clear, are you voting for Tinwatcher? In this forum we do that by highlighting the person's name in red.

[Aster]

right! forgot about that, somehow. Tinwatcher, if you want to look through and find people you're suspicious of beyond the current train, i'd love that! if not, i can keep voting you, though

[Through the Living Hopper He/Him]

Say, does anybody have any read on Lord Spirit? I'm almost tempted to vote on them because there's no village behavior from them.

Go ahead. It feels wrong for me to have zero votes with the minimal posting I’ve done. I’m not very good at reading people but I’ve given some strategic advice. Do what you will.

I'm not going to: you seem like an amiable fellow. I have no idea how I somehow missed your posts, especially since I replied. Though having somebody with no votes just seems dangerous to me. If we get later in the game and realize that you're actually an elim, it will be really hard to get you out, especially with the vote stacking.

[Negative_Null They/Them]

I'll be honest, I've been out of it today and haven't been able to pay attention. I'll put mine on Lord Spirit cause he doesn't have any at the moment. Hopefully I'll be back on it tomorrow, sorry

Currently, there is a massive tie for second place, which is Not Good.

I'd like to vote Striker after his RBM vote last cycle, but that wouldn't actually break the tie.

Sorry to whoever's pinch-hitting, but THE DEMON.

[BigBadBagsworth He/him/his]

How bad is it if |TJ| isn't an elim? What are the chances of winning if the first three executed are all village?

Good reasoning. I don’t see that happening currently, but great thoughts

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

25 minutes until the end of the cycle.

Currently the votes are
|TJ| (11)
THE DEMON (4)
YEVAD (3)
StrikerEZ, Aster, Tinwatcher, IcedOutPenguin, KelsierApologist, and The Unknown Order with (2)
BigBadBagsworth, ThatOneWorldhopper, Lord Spirit and Kasimir with (1).

 

[|TJ| he/him]

I wanted to leave legacy reads but sigh, too busy at work. 

The last post from TUO was good. 

Watch out for vote cancels to frame players. The last cycle's cancellation reeks of that i.e., watch out for pushes on TUO and Striker. 

Kas is always village and I'm quite confident on Negative Null as well. 

Watch out for... I donno Aster I guess? I'm always tend to read players who defend me against common consensus and there was some of that by Aster in C2. 

I get ML'ed quite rarely, so I don't really get to leave legacy reads. Good luck and all the best! 

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

And that is time! Mosey on over to Turn 4: Justice
