We’ll do a second forum today if possible, but again, not if it gets too late.

Wow, I was all trying to rush to my phone for fear of early influence and only Annette was also rushing.
September 24, 2015 at 9:11 am
nettiebarron
Right?
September 24, 2015 at 9:13 am
Inkarnit
I have no ability to influence anyone else. I was gonna attempt DP but you’re probably going to be more successful. We never did find out Caftermath’s card did we? I feel like that could be important.
September 24, 2015 at 9:28 am
ZG
Who does that?!?!
September 24, 2015 at 9:30 am
Inkarnit
Well lately it’s been everyone. You guys were right at the minute yesterday.

Sweet, sweet irony…

myself and ZG vote abbyszoo
I’m out of influences. Have to do it the old-fashioned way now, I guess.
September 24, 2015 at 9:16 am
Inkarnit
I have two influences remaining and still will probably have to do this the old fashioned way lol
September 24, 2015 at 9:29 am
ZG
What’s the old-fashioned way?
September 24, 2015 at 9:30 am
daneekasghost
threats and cajoling.
September 24, 2015 at 9:31 am

You forgot backstabbery and lies.

I never lie.

I see what you did there.

Two more votes for majority. Anyone able to make beau vote?
September 24, 2015 at 9:54 am
daneekasghost
Anyone who can make Beau vote now will be able to do so later. We’ve already got two non-alliance members on the block tomorrow, which is enough I would think.
September 24, 2015 at 9:55 am
Inkarnit
True. I just wanted to make Beau join the festivities.
September 24, 2015 at 10:09 am
ZG
Anybody else think it would be fun to vote for alliance members? Maybe we should give that a shot…you know, see how it goes.
September 24, 2015 at 10:19 am

OK, vote Novak!
Oh. Can’t change my vote. Sorry I tried.
September 24, 2015 at 9:56 am

Vote abbyszoo
It would be nice to see Beau burn some Influence, but with votes as they are, I don’t think there’s any reason he would do so even if he’s around.
September 24, 2015 at 10:28 am
The Dread Pirate
Yes, I’m surprised you guys haven’t bothered to wait for Beau to actually cast a vote and set him up. It’s not like he doesn’t win this game every time.
September 24, 2015 at 10:31 am
spookymilk
And how is that going to work? He has the best known card and the Wine Card. He’s not just going to vote early unless he thinks he has a long-term plan figured out.
September 24, 2015 at 10:31 am
spookymilk
Second-best known card, that is
September 24, 2015 at 12:00 pm
The Dread Pirate
Instead of rushing to vote, you guys can just wait him out.
September 24, 2015 at 10:08 am
spookymilk
So now we start wondering if nibs and Novak are away, or just pretending to be away. This is fun!
September 24, 2015 at 10:27 am

Pretty foggy morning, nibbish.
September 24, 2015 at 10:31 am

Oh? What’s this, then?

When I drove through Alexandria, the visibility was about fifty feet
September 24, 2015 at 12:01 pm
nibbish
Huh, it was pretty clear when I drove in to work this morning. When about did you come through?
September 24, 2015 at 12:08 pm
The Dread Pirate
About 930. Driving to Moorhead is not the optimal way to play this game.
September 24, 2015 at 12:10 pm
nibbish
I would think not. Especially during these beginning of day rushes. Do those exist in a live version of the game, too?
When we played with my parents, we did so without wine or influence (didn’t want to scare away people like my parents or aunt).

Caftermath was 19 Pertinax
September 24, 2015 at 10:34 am

abbyszoo was 14 Agrippa
September 24, 2015 at 10:37 am
spookymilk
Okay, another day at 11am, or at noon? What do we think?
September 24, 2015 at 10:38 am
Inkarnit
I’m good either way. If we do 11am we may even get a third day in.
September 24, 2015 at 10:48 am
spookymilk
So, we think nothing. In that case, I’ll set it for 72 minutes from now at noon Central. As always, it’s fine to talk in the meantime.
September 24, 2015 at 10:49 am
spookymilk
Wow, I’m not getting your emails for some reason.
September 24, 2015 at 10:50 am

I just hit break time. Will again around noon, except for structuredish lunch. But more available.
September 24, 2015 at 10:37 am
nettiebarron
Stuck in traffic while the President of China toodles around Seattle, shutting down I-5. I guess we can’t immediately start a new forum?
September 24, 2015 at 10:39 am
ZG
I’m not much for strategy, but wouldn’t voting out all the higher numbers be a tougher path to victory?
September 24, 2015 at 10:50 am
spookymilk
We had no idea what numbers Caftermath and abbyszoo were holding.
September 24, 2015 at 10:54 am
nibbish
So, I think we can all agree that if Toda were to influence Beau to the eventual target, he would be granted, like, seven kinds of immunity, right?
September 24, 2015 at 10:58 am
nettiebarron
Eight!
September 24, 2015 at 11:01 am
todahshy
I’m fine with that. Who’s the target?
September 24, 2015 at 11:06 am
Inkarnit
We know what ZG’s holding but DP is still unknown. Though I would think if he had a high card he wouldn’t have allowed himself to be influenced.
September 24, 2015 at 11:08 am
spookymilk
Will’s not really unknown. When he messed up the other day and showed his card, it was 12. He may have been taking a chance that 12 hadn’t been picked, but with as many unknown cards as there were, it was a gamble.
Which I suppose he’d have to take in this situation, so I guess it’s possible he’s not holding the Diocletian card, but I’d be surprised if he wasn’t.
I think.
September 24, 2015 at 11:10 am
Inkarnit
Oh right, I forgot about that. I agree that would have been a ballsy move to purposely attempt influence on someone that couldn’t while “showing your card” but lying because it wasn’t official and therefore allowed.
September 24, 2015 at 11:27 am
nibbish
So, they’re functionally equal influence, then, so that doesn’t have to inform our decision.
I’m leaning keeping ZG.
September 24, 2015 at 11:28 am
Inkarnit
He did say “not it” first. So that means something.
September 24, 2015 at 11:28 am
nibbish
By the rules of the playground, this would appear to seal our decision.
Unless it’s opposite day?
September 24, 2015 at 11:37 am
Inkarnit
“Most sources say that National Opposite Day is always observed on January 25th while other sources say it is celebrated by some on January 7th. It is also believed to be celebrated by a group of people on the 25th of each month of the year.”
Even if we say it’s the 25th of EACH month, today is only the 24th. So ZG is clear.
September 24, 2015 at 11:26 am
ZG
Not it.
September 24, 2015 at 11:53 am
nibbish
So, Toda. If you can influence Beau to vote the Dread Pirate, there will be a large number of people in your debt.
September 24, 2015 at 12:03 pm
The Dread Pirate
Todahsy, who had actually been engaged and trying to help you?
This guy!
September 24, 2015 at 11:53 am
ZG
At what point do we need to push the current unknows to reveal their card?
September 24, 2015 at 11:55 am
nibbish
Soon, I would say. Those unknowns are a menace.
September 24, 2015 at 11:56 am
ZG
Ok, I’ll see what I can do.
