Alright, so I’ve been keeping it under my hat, but I don’t think it serves my purpose any longer, and may, in fact, be counterproductive.
I am Cicero (#16). You may notice that this means that I can’t influence so much as a housefly. Please plan accordingly.
September 24, 2015 at 2:38 pm
Inkarnit
Hey that’s a great card. I hear it got 2nd place last time.
September 24, 2015 at 2:19 pm
spookymilk
Fun Fact: Pete either has the best (1, 2) or the worst (16, 18, 20) card left in play.
September 24, 2015 at 2:19 pm
spookymilk
Okay, less fun when he points it out first.
September 24, 2015 at 2:20 pm
nibbish
That is some SOLID timing.

Fun Fact: Salmon don’t have the number 17 in their number sets, which is really weird when you consider that they have 117, 217, etc, but there you have it.
September 24, 2015 at 2:39 pm
nibbish
This is your way of saying you’ve got 13, then? Or at least implying such – which may or may not be true?
September 24, 2015 at 2:40 pm
Inkarnit
He claimed to have 13 from day 1. Which still isn’t confirmed.
September 24, 2015 at 2:40 pm
Inkarnit
But is likely considering no one else has 13.
September 24, 2015 at 2:41 pm
nibbish
Well, if nothing else, he’s committed to the bit.
I must’ve missed that.
September 24, 2015 at 2:40 pm
spookymilk
If I’m not actually holding 13, I have balls of steel and I’m ludicrously lucky nobody did.
September 24, 2015 at 2:42 pm
nibbish
Yeah, I missed on day one when you said it.
September 24, 2015 at 2:43 pm
Inkarnit
Sets up a nice plea to the jury… 😉
September 24, 2015 at 2:41 pm
Inkarnit
Funny that the random cards left out were the top 2 cards and 2 of the bottom 3 cards. Works out nicely.
September 24, 2015 at 2:45 pm
Inkarnit
I just thought of something. We agreed (loosely) to give todahshy immunity this forum. I think we are honoring that. But should we consider honoring it in a different way? Like, maybe forcing a tie between Beau and todahshy, forcing todahshy to break the tie in his favor and thus be in the majority next vote? This prevents him from withholding a vote or voting for someone irrelevant.
September 24, 2015 at 2:56 pm
spookymilk
That’s a really tempting proposition. I wish more people were around to talk about it.
September 24, 2015 at 2:57 pm
Inkarnit
Let’s just do it. 4-4-1-1 works. Todahshy may have to break the tie before tiebreakers even. Either way works.
September 24, 2015 at 3:24 pm
ZG
Seems to fly in the face of the arrangement …
September 24, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Inkarnit
I never agreed on anything with todahshy. Just sayin’
September 24, 2015 at 3:56 pm
ZG
That may be true. Carry on, then!
September 24, 2015 at 3:58 pm
nibbish
Yeah, that was mostly me, though it was sort of agreed that beau was the larger danger, and now he’s pretty much got his ticket punched to the final four, unless Todah takes him out.
So, maybe a TEENSY bit of overmaneuvering.
September 24, 2015 at 2:56 pm
Inkarnit
In fact, I think we should just do that. I would influence spooky to vote with me just so he could reject it and prove his balls are not, in fact, made of steel but I can’t influence him again. And I think he should vote with me to make our evil plan come to fruition anyway.

September 24, 2015 at 3:00 pm

Well this makes sense. But I’m surprised you didn’t do Novak since he already had one. Works out.
September 24, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Inkarnit
Oh. And I’m not in power.
September 24, 2015 at 3:04 pm
nibbish
Try that again?
September 24, 2015 at 3:06 pm
todahshy
I just assume the whole group is in power. Oh well.
September 24, 2015 at 2:59 pm

Be back in a bit. Got an auto to quote right now then an appointment in 30 minutes.

influence DG to vote spooky
September 24, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Inkarnit
Hey spooky, I bet you like my plan more now.
September 24, 2015 at 3:08 pm
todahshy
Why? No one else is going to vote for him. He is in no danger.
September 24, 2015 at 3:10 pm
spookymilk
I actually like Inkarnit’s plan less now. I’m a little peeved that he broke ranks and made that vote, essentially ensuring his own safety next time, without allowing others to chime in on this. I didn’t want to be the prick who took guaranteed safety under the guise of a clever short-term move.
September 24, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Inkarnit
It was no guise at all. And I didn’t see you jump in to vote Beau either.
September 24, 2015 at 3:14 pm
Inkarnit
And you see as todahshy states below, he won’t break the tie which puts me in power. I’m not trying to skirt power. I’m just trying to put the spurs in the two power cards. One will go.
September 24, 2015 at 3:14 pm
spookymilk
Not jumping in to vote Beau is entirely different from jumping in to vote someone else with a clear plan on the table. I knew this was going to get weird at some point, and I thought that “some point” might end up being now. Looking at the voting spreadsheet at this moment, can you blame me for assuming it would be now?
September 24, 2015 at 3:15 pm
todahshy
Don’t act like you knew I wasn’t going to break the tie when you made your vote.
September 24, 2015 at 3:16 pm
Inkarnit
Well yeah things were going to shake up at some point sure. But this plan was to ensure Beau goes now and todahshy goes next. With influence, we would make ZG after that provided we stick together. Being in power next time becomes irrelevant.
September 24, 2015 at 3:17 pm
Inkarnit
I’m not. But it’s early in the voting day. Many things can happen. I voted early rather than waiting to provide plenty of time for people to decide what they wanted to happen.
September 24, 2015 at 3:31 pm
daneekasghost
I reject, and have doctored my 7 card into a 1.
September 24, 2015 at 3:08 pm
todahshy
So go ahead and go through with Inkarnit’s plan which will then put only half of you at risk for the next round and for what benefit? Getting rid of my card which now has basically no value left since I am out of influences? I know people here have worked with me in the past and I am a solid number but so far most of the group of 7 has seemed very eager to drop the rest of you for their own self interests.
September 24, 2015 at 3:11 pm
Inkarnit
Ah, didn’t realize this used your last influence. That does make a difference. But I have to counter your argument that the Sinister Seven is eager to drop the others. Only Novak made a comment about that once and it was ostensibly to draw one of you into the vote. There’s been no other attempts to “drop the rest for our own self interests.”
September 24, 2015 at 3:11 pm
todahshy
I’m just letting it be known. If it goes to a tie. I will not break it. So you can all have the more powerful player left to deal with.
September 24, 2015 at 3:15 pm
Inkarnit
I’m confused about the “more powerful player” left to deal with part though. If you don’t break the tie in your favor then Beau breaks it in his and you’re dead.
September 24, 2015 at 3:16 pm
todahshy
Yes, so you have an equally powerful card, with four influences left in use and the wine card left to deal with.
September 24, 2015 at 3:17 pm
nibbish
Which…I mean, we can still work with that, but this was going to be the easiest way to remove that obstacle from our path.
September 24, 2015 at 3:18 pm
Inkarnit
I don’t understand why he wouldn’t preserve himself by breaking the tie though. That was the plan. Not sacrificing himself for no reason.
September 24, 2015 at 3:17 pm
Inkarnit
The wine card stays in play, no? Passes to someone at random when holder is killed?
September 24, 2015 at 3:18 pm
todahshy
Beau decides who to give it to. I doubt it will be me since I sold him out last round.
September 24, 2015 at 3:19 pm
nibbish
Yes, but the way that Toda is talking about, the wine card stays with an unimpeachable player who pretty much stamps his card to the top five.
A gambit? Sure. Probably an effective one, though.
September 24, 2015 at 3:19 pm
Inkarnit
Oh, I thought he only decides who it goes to if he passes it to someone before he is killed.
September 24, 2015 at 3:20 pm
Inkarnit
Yeah, sacrificing himself definitely hinders that plan. Will he actually do it though? I admit I did not consider that play.
September 24, 2015 at 3:23 pm
todahshy
Why not? 8th place is just as worthless as 9th place to me.
September 24, 2015 at 3:20 pm
Inkarnit
At least I made some discussion happen…
September 24, 2015 at 3:20 pm

toady, let me know what I can offer you to break this in my favor. You know I’ll obviously be going after Inkarnit now.
September 24, 2015 at 3:46 pm
spookymilk
I can influence almost nobody, and got burned like a motherf*&ker here.
September 24, 2015 at 3:48 pm
todahshy
Except everyone will absolutely target me next round and then the 7 roll on to the final 7. And it’s not like you all can be like oh we guarantee you are safe next round if you save spooky when the same exact deal was made to me last round and if I didn’t step in fast and do crazy things I would have absolutely gotten screwed over.
September 24, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Inkarnit
Like I said above, there were reasons why I made that move earlier than later.
September 24, 2015 at 3:52 pm

Don’t act like this was your genius plan all along.

I don’t agree that this is an inevitability anymore. This game is changing.
I’ve been very engaged and will continue to be so.
September 24, 2015 at 3:51 pm
Inkarnit
Status quo is so boring, no?
September 24, 2015 at 3:53 pm

I have no intention of targeting you, no matter what you do here.
September 24, 2015 at 4:13 pm
ZG
I don’t feel the need to target you.
September 24, 2015 at 3:48 pm
Inkarnit
You can influence me. That will be fun.
September 24, 2015 at 3:56 pm
todahshy
Game on. I’m not going to lie a small part of my motivation is that I’m sticking with keeping the more engaged player around just to make the game more playable. No matter what I do here I can’t be safe next round anyway so might as well get rid of the biggest threat on the board.
Sorry Beau I need to break the tie and keep Kelly.
September 24, 2015 at 3:57 pm
Beau
Aww man. I had more time tomorrow too
September 24, 2015 at 3:58 pm

Sorry, I was left with a Kobayashi Maru here.
September 24, 2015 at 4:03 pm

September 24, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Inkarnit
Hey Novak, DG, ZG… you guys want to rearrange things? It appears there is some issue with the previous arrangements. I may have been involved in that. Regardless, the landscape going forward looks different now and I find myself in a position of needing friends. Spooky has expressed his… displeasure… with me.
September 24, 2015 at 6:39 pm
mbnovak
If I recall correctly, I told people breaking a tie with me and AMR the other day that they were ahead of you in my eyes… I didn’t mean it at the time, was just trying to get non-alliance candidates, but thanks to your move I might just get to keep that promise anyway…
September 24, 2015 at 6:43 pm
spookymilk
Anyone you team with at this point has a chance of intentionally stabbing you in the back. Why, then, should anyone take on an alliance member who may also do it by accident?
September 24, 2015 at 7:00 pm
Inkarnit
It was an accident accident, true. I did see the potential for it to go south but I expected if that were to happen it would be at Novak’s expense which was an acceptable possibility due to his previous attempt to throw me under the bus. He backpedaled and claimed it was a ploy but I don’t know how much I believe it. I didn’t foresee it being turned on you.

Pointing out that todahshy and nettie currently cannot be successfully influenced and that roxanne can only be influenced if nettie uses her last one.
September 25, 2015 at 8:35 am
daneekasghost
ha. Never mind.
todahshy, nettie, and roxanne are all impossible to successfully influence at this point.
September 25, 2015 at 8:43 am
todahshy
So then Roxeanne is the greatest threat since she has influences left?
September 25, 2015 at 8:45 am

One could make that argument.
September 25, 2015 at 8:46 am
