thats right i forgot

so why don't we look at king?

he's been quiet, he comes in throws a vote on and leaves without any reason.
the sith have laid low all game and let 2 jedi fight it out. What is the worst that happens, we lose a jedi...from the looks of it we're going to lose one anyhow.

Here's my problem. Hoops is the other person I'd consider voting for right now. But I think it's entirely possible that hoops is being kept alive to draw votes and attention. People keep saying he hasn't produced anything of substance, but that accusation could apply to any of us. There really isn't much to go on at all so I'm not suprised he hasn't pulled a rabbit out of his hat. So this vote feels like every other one. A damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

Ah, I see. I misread his follow up post. In fact, it was Google that pointed him to Wikipedia.

The only thing I have positive/negative on King in this game is that he missed the vote in the AE/Dubb showdown. I think a Sith would have wanted to have his vote on Ardent there to try and keep Dubb alive if they knew of each other.

I like this option better than stkelly, frankly. King has been very quiet overall. Which is not always his MO.

well, we've got 15 minutes to sort this out

And here's King.

I'm willing to vote King.

Completely off topic, but AE, you've got a couple of spaces at the end of the URL in your sig that points to your MySpace page.

Interesting. Let's try it, freckles.

Unvote SKelly52
vote Kingfc22

hey that's my line :D

You can look at me, but all you will find is just a normal Jedi Knight. You don't seem to overly concerned about losing a jedi. Why is that?

I didn't think tangle was a Sith yesterday and that's why I voted AE. I don't think Taz is a Sith either. Stkelly I don't really have a real read on, but there is something about AE that just doesn't seem right and that is why he has my vote again.

Duly noted.

Okay, look who has numerous votes right now: AE, Hoops and Stkelly.

Watch very carefully who moves their name to me and who they remove their vote from.

Also off topic - congrats on 10,000 posts Ardent.

Thanks, I hadn't realized I eclipsed 10000. I knew I was getting close.

I'm not diving in to kingfc22 without a solid showing of others switching over.

If people are going to jump from Stkelly to King I'm game, but I'm very worried about late movement here that leaves me in a tie. So I'm not going to be leaving stkelly just yet.

I am torn here. I could move my vote to King, and it might help save me, but I don't see any semiconvincing arguments for king other than the fact that he has been rather quiet.

Could it be because you don't want to paint a bigger bullseye on yourself since I will show up as a Jedi?

so, where do we sit with votes at this 5 minutes to go point?

No, but it could be your repeated votes for me, a Jedi.

Come on Sith. Come and get me.

Honestly, are there good arguments for anyone at this point? Everyday has felt like day one so far.

More spirit in 2 minutes out of King than we've seen all game.

It has nothing to do with being a bigger target, I am worried about voting off another Jedi.

That's why the seer, if they are still alive, needs to come out and clear some people.

Very interesting

Hmm...a guest.

dola - that was freaky hoops

With the lack of late movement, I'm inclined to think that we are about to vote off a Jedi. Let me see if this does anything.

UNVOTE AE
VOTE HOOPS

I'm back, but I don't think I have time to read the thread and vote, so I'm going to stand pat.

unvote AE
vote hoops

Purly self preservation

Yep, this is going to be interesting.

Doesn't look good for hoops. If saldana were online, I'm sure someone would be compelled to vote.

Yep :(

Congrats, you guys have tested me today. I think the timing is terrible, but ...

Would have come forward with a reveal if given more time, but my death does not help Jedi. Not the seer, however.

I was just looking, and didn't see him. However, I noticed we do have both a Turd Ferguson and a TurdFerguson registered :D

Me, cartman, des, hoop, king, sack, sndvls, stkel, and taz are all online and in the thread. Who are we missing out of that group?

penny

I've seen worse abuses of the rules, honestly. Reveal away.

and gram

I've always seen the mod death scene post as being the official "end" of someone. So feel free if you think it will help us.

Use the Force Luke...

Although it is a tie at this point, correct? So is it guaranteed Hoops is the one?

Final votes as I show them:

ardent - KWhit (1360)
stkelly - AE (1305), Sack (1325), cartman (1336), path (1363), Hoops (1380)
Hoops - Penny (1309), Gram (1350), Taz (1390), King (1433), stkelly (1435)
King - SnDvls (1330), Desnudo (1410)

StKelly, if you are Jedi and you die as a result of our tie, I'm sorry that I had to vote for you.

this will make it interesting now

An extension, interesting...

OK, I can still give the information out if we need it, but I would really prefer not to as it makes me an easy target tonight. However, I believe the bodyguard is still out there (have not seen the lightsaber that matches the one seen in Night 2 beating back Sith) so I will do it if the group thinks it makes sense.

I'm not the seer, bodyguard, or duke. I think this one is special to Star Wars, more or less ...

Not a big fan of that extension...kind of kills the strategy of those who waited until the end to swap over to Hoops.

Agreed, Vince. Although I'm not a big fan of being swapped over to in this case :mad: :( :eek:

Wow, an extension.

Looks like I'll be beating some students into the ground in an hour. Anyone want to come over and watch?

So, hoops, what's the deal?

In the interest of fairness I'm willing to sit and wait 30 minutes for Saldana to come back without revealing any more information than I already have. And hope that I don't lose the tie-breaker.

Princess Leia?

George Lucas. A lot of build up, but not a whole lot of bang.

Then allow me to press you a bit.

UNVOTE Stkelly
VOTE HOOPS

I hope you don't mind. I'd rather lynch kelly, but I want to hear more out of you. An extension is an extension, fair or not.

Not exactly :) But pretty funny.

sorry, guys. On the phone. I'm still reading the thread though.

I have to disagree with this. That unbalances the game. What if hoops wasn't around to defend himself? Or if it had swung to somebody else who wasn't around?

It already has.

I mean the game has swung.

OK, if we are using the extension ...

My initial PM (fairly heavy paraphrasing) said that I was strong in the force but didn't give me any special abilities. It didn't sound like generic Jedi, but without any night actions I was playing as an ordinary villager.

This morning I got a PM after Jeeber died indicating that I was deeply saddened by the death of Jeeber but knew that he was not yet gone for me. That, coupled with his death scene (1292), makes me suspect that my role has been activated.

Yes it has, but it went from being a tie vote to a player being in danger of a lynch because of an improper deadline extension. For the deadline to get extended literally at the last minute isn't fair.

If, at the start of the day, an extended deadline had been announced, that would be one thing.

At this point, it's an extension that allows those on the board to swing in one direction or another, but those not around don't have the opportunity to change their vote that everybody else is gaining right now.

Doh! I just realized my unvote of stkelly would possibly put the breaker on hoopsguy, unless someone like Des wants to revote stkelly.

I hope one of you will vote with me.
UNVOTE HOOPS

VOTE STKELLY

Any revelations from stkelly at this point?

If you look at my first post this morning the first paragraph talks about how I was saddened. I think it is the only time I've spoken in "Star Wars speak" the entire game. Post #1304.

I'll buy that. I don't think you would type that in the beginning of the day to save your hide in the end. Possible, but I doubt it.

Des?

stkelly, any particular role to play in this?

Saldana, we still have 5 minutes on your deadline. I'd say either revert to 9:30 or give us the extra time.

If I lose the tie-breaker because AE removed the vote between 8:30 and 9 (CST), and then put it back, thus changing who dies, only to have voting closed 5 minutes ahead of extension, then I will be frustrated. Everything else I'm basically OK with. I don't want to nit-pick at what has been a fun game. And my wife will appreciate having me around in the evenings again ...

Well, FWIW. If AE's latest vote counts, this one should too.

Unvote King
Vote Stkelly

Agreed, if we're closing the window, it should be at 10:00

I'd say just use the original deadline. Nothing really has changed other than hoops reveal, real or not

I predict that I will have a green lightsaber, fwiw.

Mine has been clear the entire game. :)

for the first time in history, the thread is empty of everyone but a dead player and an observer when the day action resolves......goddamn i screwed that pooch hard.

I'm here

Did you at least give him a reacharound? ;)

:(

What does that mean? It also doesn't say he was a Jedi.

dola,

Poor stkelly. :(

I guess he died as he lived: heart in the right place, but just too aggressive. :(

Yes it does.

I think we all left so you could post actions. people are coming back now.

I don't fault you for your change/re-change. you made a quick decision, but I feel corrected it...

now it looks like I too have been mind swapted just like Ardent.
I had a similar experience too. all I remember is a hooded person and me saying I didn't want to vote King I wanted to vote StKelly....hmmm

Glad to be around, although I was pretty sure that Stkelly was Jedi. I hate self-preservation votes.

Still believe the bodyguard is out there and hope he is around to protect me tonight. I rarely ask for this, but after the forced reveal I think that I'm a pretty likely target.

I think SnDvls' forced vote goes a long, long way towards backing Ardent's story.

If the bodyguard is still in the game and in the mood to take advice, if it isn't me you are guarding then it should be Ardent.

That doesn't say he was a Jedi. It says he wasn't a Sith.

Seems to be implying he wasn't. He didn't call upon anger and hatred. Only desperation (although I would argue that desperation = fear of a kind, and fear is another path to the Dark Side).

But it does look like saldana meant to imply he was a Jedi.

Correction: that first sentence should have read "seems to be implying he was."

It doesn't look good for SnDvls tomorrow. I think he is being sacrificed by the DM for the mistake.

To me, that means that there are more than two Siths out there.

It doesn't sound like he's evil by any stretch. Especially compared to Dubb's death. What I mainly was wondering is if he wasn't someone aligned with the Jedi, but not a Jedi. The mention that his saber skills weren't equal to yours sort of implies that as well.
