No sir. I didn't see saldana's post until after my switch. I thought Qwik was much further ahead than 2 votes.

No biggie now. Superman is now leading with 6. While, I think suspicion is still on Qwikshot, at least we don't have a tie.

Well, if Qwikshot is bad, we saw Sack, Ardent and Gramm vote late to swing the vote huge away from him.

By all means, use that against me.

If Jar Jar talk ensues, I'm blaming the late vote changers... :mad:

Then tell Superman to vote on day one.

Zing.

Conversely, IF Superman is bad, Sack, Ardent, and Grammaticus move up to the top of my trust list.

However, if Superman is good, I think we might need to get lynch Qwikshot just to get more info that can help us analyze the late vote swing.

I have no real problem with voting off the nonplayer. That's often my strategy anyway though any last minute sniping will and should arise suspicion.

Well, we did see some late movement to create the two man race. So did the Sith marshall forces late to save him or was it just coincidence?

I'm hoping we are praising the late vote changers in a couple of minutes instead of burying them ...

I'm a nobody. The jedi won't lose anything if I'm lynched or if I die at night...so I've been and plan on being low key. Besides, I got this friggin paper that I really got to work on. I figure the superman/qwik thing was an opportunity to clear myself or throw me in the limelight.

Better to vote me out than one of the jedi with something important going on. I'll take the martyr's role like qwik.

Well, I had the choice of leaving my vote on Sarge who has posted a bit in the day and leave it as a random nothing or move it to a non voter. I waited all day in order to see if anything real developed. I don't think what Qwik did was very Sithish behavior so I moved the vote to where it belonged. If Superman had come in and voted, I may have moved off him, who knows because it did not happen.

I don't have a problem voting the non-active people. Just always good data to know who voted within 5 min of each other at the very last minutes of a day to swing a vote is all.

Chances are both Superman and Qwik might be good, and you wouldnt know that if you are a good guy.
Or if Qwik is bad, that could explain a late surge of votes too.

I don't know if i like the whole martyr approach that Qwik and Ardent are using though, it basically feels like a dare almost "Go ahead and lynch me, doesnt matter" type statement.

Well, that sucks. I'll take the heat.

Im ok with playing this weekend, but I do have to warn I have a critical office move on Saturday. There is a chance I might be gone from noon till midnight that day for work, and miss any or most discussion during the day.

Hmm, this sounds like a tie would result in a vital announcement ;)

Im not sure I'm ready to put heat on you yet, since there are several reasons to vote for Super there, alot good, and only 1 I can think of bad for us.

I would be interested to see tommorrow what happens if heat is put on Qwikshot again. if a similar group of people come to the rescue again.

I actually feel pretty good about it, but you've got it all wrong. Lynching me saves someone of use to the Jedi. I have no special power. I'm all for saving those with the power to save us.

Err, to win it for us I mean.

I won't be around for at least part of Saturday, and possibly all of it. I would prefer not to do weekend play for at least this weekend.

I can't say what future weekends will hold.

Bummer about Superman. :( Wish he would've chimed in, but at least we didn't lose somebody who's been contributing (even the erratic contributors like Qwik).

I'll be around, so weekend won't be a problem.

I can play through the weekend.

Well I am virtually unavailable tomorrow so I would prefer extended voting, but understand those who feel differently and would gladly just vote early in the day.

Well, another way to not lose anyone important to us is to just not vote anyone...

However if you look at it a different approach, voting for someone good also means that you miss a chance to vote for a Sith. So by being a good jedi and purposely saying vote for me, causes everyone to lose a day of possibly getting someone bad or at least getting helpful vote pattern help.

I'm just having difficulty grasping the whole vote for me even though I am a good jedi approach right now.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED ANOTHER FUCKING VOTE :mad: :mad:

Sorry guys, I forgot that this game is east coast time when the last one I was in was central time. Well, shit. I am now officially the board idiot.

FWIW, I was probably going to vote for Lathum.

I would like to play during the weekend, but whatever the majority decides is good with me.

I won't be around much during the weekend.

I say we keep tomorrow as is and then just do an extended round that lasts all day Sat and Sun with a lynch deadline on Sunday night.

Weekend is okay with me, I play cards tomorrow night though. So most Fridays, I have to get what I can in by 5pm, then I usually cannot get online until after 1am. Sometimes I can do it on a break but you never know. Either way I can work with it. Tomorrow I will probably try to get on line close to vote time. Unless of course I am winning big and cannot pull myself away from the table.

It's the ole Jedi Mind Trick

:D

That sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

That is a pretty good compromise.

vote: in favor of Kwhit's idea

I work Friday and saturday night so I would rather not play the weekend but if we do excuse my silence.

You are the man AE, but you fucked this up, and at this early point in the game, whether you are a Jedi or not, you are target numero uno.

At the time he made that post, Qwik had a 2 vote lead. The announcement could have had to do with a lynch of Qwik.

There are a couple of fairly obvious candidates for scrutiny tomorrow based on todays vote but I'm not too inclined to dig into them until after the night actions are up.

Weekend play - fine with whatever group decides.

At the same time, why would a Sith put themself so far out on the line, knowing that their push would put a target on their back?

Why does that make him the number one target?

This is true, although I got the sense he saw a potential tie and was advising we pay attention. Either one could trigger the VA.

Did you read the post I made after that?

I actually think it had to do with how to avoid having Jedis kill themselves and was going to be some kind of rule change before he thought of the mind wipe. Don't forget that the game was on short notice so it's entirely possible certain things just weren't thought through in the same way they'd have been if saldana had been given more time to prepare.

I would like to play through the weekend, but what ever the group decides.

I don't know... It took 25 minutes to go from not having a way to 'kill' a Jedi to having one. That's some quick thinking but I guess it is plausible due to what Saldana said.

Anyway, I just mentioned the Qwik scenario as an addition that it could be a tie breaker like Gramm suggested. I don't necessarily think the non-announcement means Qwik is/was guilty, just putting that out there as information that could be analyzed.

this is essentially correct. the announcement i was going to make tonight will instead come tomorrow night. i had forgotten that the Force Banishment was going to be my 1st night lynch method, but all will become clear after tomorrow's lynch. the postponement of the announcement has nothing to do with who was the lynchee or who wasnt. sorry for the confusion, and thanks for understanding BK

I'm good with whatever the group decides.

I can do anything. I'll be free enough this weekend to play the game.

I look forward to hearing your analysis. I think we probably need to vote on Qwik tomorrow to help clarify the vote shift today as well as other voting patterns. However, that opinion certainly could change tomorrow. I'm off to bed for tonight.
