myself and nibbish vote spookymilk
September 25, 2015 at 9:06 am
todahshy
Revenge vote. I think he might be a wolf.
September 25, 2015 at 9:10 am
Inkarnit
Well he made it clear he wants to take me out. 😦
September 25, 2015 at 9:12 am
spookymilk
So your answer to screwing up and almost taking me out is to be an even bigger piece of shit.
September 25, 2015 at 9:15 am
Inkarnit
Well come on. Tell me you weren’t coming in here to influence me into voting Roxanne like todahshy and DG just discussed.
September 25, 2015 at 9:19 am
spookymilk
I didn’t have a plan yet. So, for the second day in a row, you made a selfish executive decision without talking to anyone about it first.
September 25, 2015 at 9:26 am
Inkarnit
I believe you didn’t have a specific plan yet but I don’t believe for a second you weren’t working on how to eliminate me. Let’s not pretend otherwise. By nature of this game, I had to show up right away to ensure my survival as nibbish is the only one I can influence. The rest may still decide to take me out now but to do so they have to take you out first. My guess is that they don’t want to take you out .
September 25, 2015 at 9:29 am
spookymilk
As always, I’m thinking about winning the game, not taking out a specific person. Whether you survive all the way, no matter who you’re with, you screwed up royally and can’t get my jury vote, so it makes little difference to me whether you get eliminated now or never.
September 25, 2015 at 9:34 am
Inkarnit
I’m good with never. I’m certainly not gunning for anyone in particular either. This was 100% preservation resulting from yesterday’s threats. No one talked to me about any other plans. Not sure what you intend for the alliance if only alliance members and todahshy are in power when you’ve told todahshy your in his debt and multiple people agreed not to vote for him.
September 25, 2015 at 9:52 am
spookymilk
I’m certainly not gunning for anyone in particular either.
An obvious lie, since you made a point to bring a person with you to the vote. If you were just trying to avoid power, you would have just come out and voted, alone, for the least likely person to get assassinated.
September 25, 2015 at 9:59 am
Inkarnit
Oh. Influencing nibbish serves two purposes. One, it provides a viable target if people really want to take me out next. If they are willing to go through you first, they can have me. Second, it removes any influence I can have over him later, eliminating me as a risk to him and making him less likely to waste time gunning for me.
September 25, 2015 at 10:01 am
spookymilk
Those aren’t completely stupid reasons, but the problem is, everyone knows how impulsive you are and realizes there’s no way you actually thought either of those things through before voting.
September 25, 2015 at 10:03 am
Inkarnit
But I did in fact. I had my vote copied and pasted since last night. It was originally to be for todahshy but after thinking things through it made more sense to vote for you. This is why I was up before 7am and ready to load and paste as soon as the post went up. It was all planned out.
September 25, 2015 at 10:05 am
Inkarnit
And while I was waiting, DG and todahshy were discussing in the previous forum having you influence me to oust Roxanne. Granted, you weren’t involved in that decision but it reaffirmed my move.
September 25, 2015 at 10:39 pm
Inkarnit
Wait wait! I have a comeback! I’m Commodus! OF COURSE I’m a piece of shit!
September 25, 2015 at 10:40 pm
spookymilk
Had to wait a long time for that one.
September 25, 2015 at 9:14 am
Inkarnit
I was gonna vote you at first but I really don’t have a good reason to do so. I know you’re mad at me for my plan yesterday but it really worked out in your favor. Or would have if you hadn’t broken the tie. We can still be friends!
September 25, 2015 at 9:08 am
nibbish
I challenge this. I am number 16.
September 25, 2015 at 9:09 am
Inkarnit
Challenge noted. “Now vote spooky,” says the emperor of toilets.
September 25, 2015 at 9:08 am
nibbish
Who has wine?
September 25, 2015 at 9:09 am
Inkarnit
I’m pretty sure I do.
September 25, 2015 at 9:11 am
Beau
I jokingly gave you the wine yesterday, forgetting I could do that while dead. I guess you do have it! Congrats.
September 25, 2015 at 9:06 am
ZG
Am I superfluous this morning? I’ll be attending to this a bit, but on iPhone.
Let me know how I can be useful.
September 25, 2015 at 9:07 am
Beau
I’m here with all sorts of strategy! Who wants to be influenced first?
September 25, 2015 at 9:09 am
Inkarnit
Lol
September 25, 2015 at 9:28 am
mbnovak
I am checking in occasionally this morning. I don’t have a ton of strong feelings on this. Is the alliance in some sort of shape except for inkarnit/spooky? How do othe alliance mates feel about this? Should we craft a new, purer alliance? I’d be up for that.
September 25, 2015 at 9:30 am
spookymilk
Did I ever say a single thing about leaving the alliance?
September 25, 2015 at 9:39 am
ZG
I think you guys should scrap the alliance…
September 25, 2015 at 9:40 am
spookymilk
At this point, if you have ideas, I’m sure people will listen.
September 25, 2015 at 9:47 am
todahshy
I thought we had something special 😦
September 25, 2015 at 9:49 am
spookymilk
I have literally no power right now, since the only two people I can Influence have already voted. I was given no real options other than to actually talk this out. All I can do is listen at this point.
September 25, 2015 at 9:42 am
mbnovak
No. I didn’t mean to imply your exclusion from the purer alliance. Just that it might not work with both you and inkarnit…
September 25, 2015 at 9:45 am
spookymilk
Inkarnit screwed up yesterday, and today came here to reaffirm his selfishness while I was waiting to talk to people about a plan first. I would hope this is worth something.
September 25, 2015 at 9:53 am
mbnovak
I think it is. Naturally, I’d like other former alliance people to weigh in first. Or a totally new, purer alliance to come together first. Basically, I see two sides, yours and inkarnit’s. I want people to line up on one side or the other. But I don’t want it to be everyone on one side. I want more agreed targets than inkarnit.
September 25, 2015 at 10:06 am
todahshy
I think Roxeanne is the top one on the board as DG and I discussed this morning in Forum 6
September 25, 2015 at 10:11 am
Inkarnit
For the record, I’m not trying to be the “other side” from spooky but if that’s how it needs to go I understand.
September 25, 2015 at 10:13 am
spookymilk
Spare us, Wolfson. You’re literally the only alliance member to vote outside the plan without being Influenced to do so, and now you’ve done it twice.
September 25, 2015 at 10:16 am
Inkarnit
You do realize that today was going to be “outside the plan” regardless right? Either you planned to betray todahshy or an alliance member.
September 25, 2015 at 9:57 am
nettiebarron
Morning!
September 25, 2015 at 10:12 am
Inkarnit
Good morning Annette! What do you make of this crazy forum?
September 25, 2015 at 10:16 am
nettiebarron
I’m trying to think.
September 25, 2015 at 10:17 am
nettiebarron
It’s painful, sometimes.
September 25, 2015 at 10:18 am
mbnovak
So if we’re going to form a new alliance, we need a target. If we’re going to preserve the old one minus someone, toady has to be the target, right?
September 25, 2015 at 10:19 am
spookymilk
Yes.
September 25, 2015 at 10:23 am
mbnovak
Opinions on the preferred option?
September 25, 2015 at 10:25 am
nettiebarron
Roxanne still has her influences, right?
September 25, 2015 at 10:28 am
spookymilk
She’s got three.
September 25, 2015 at 10:29 am
daneekasghost
Reasons to target the vulnerable people (from an alliance members perspective)
Todahsy (3) – outside the group of 7, can’t be influenced by cards.
nettiebarron (5) – can’t be influenced by cards, has an influence remaining (can’t influence roxanne or ZG)
roxanne (6) – can’t be influenced by cards, not very present, has 3 influences remaining with a pretty big card.
nibbish (16) – often told to suck it.
spookymilk – already has 2 votes.
September 25, 2015 at 10:31 am
nettiebarron
Why can’t I influence Roxanne?
September 25, 2015 at 10:31 am
daneekasghost
you already did once.
September 25, 2015 at 10:32 am
nettiebarron
Oh duh
September 25, 2015 at 10:35 am
nettiebarron
Seems like Roxanne is dangerous.
September 25, 2015 at 10:41 am
spookymilk
She certainly has power, and is a little unpredictable. Are you legitimately entertaining this?
September 25, 2015 at 10:50 am
nettiebarron
I am.
September 25, 2015 at 10:40 am
daneekasghost
I think that not voting out one of the top three power card holders now when we have them vulnerable would be a mistake.
Getting them vulnerable again is the work of several forums and usually requires a sacrifice of some kind.
September 25, 2015 at 10:41 am
spookymilk
Do you prefer one in particular?
September 25, 2015 at 10:43 am
daneekasghost
I can see arguments for all of them. What do you think?
September 25, 2015 at 10:47 am
spookymilk
I can too. Roxy has plenty of Influences left, so there’s that.
Annette and todah are both untouchable from an Influence standpoint, so if one doesn’t go here they’ll both most likely waltz to final four without some sort of Wine Card play.
September 25, 2015 at 10:49 am
daneekasghost
Of those three Roxanne is more likely to make a mistake.
September 25, 2015 at 10:51 am
spookymilk
And of the remaining two, given that neither of them makes mistakes very often, I’d prefer to show deference to the one we’ve been working with all game long.
September 25, 2015 at 10:57 am
todahshy
Pretty sure even though I haven’t been working with you all along (not by my choice), I’ve had your back more than either of them.
September 25, 2015 at 11:00 am
spookymilk
How do you figure? You Influenced me to vote against my alliance in forum three, which would have eliminated Novak and set me up. In yesterday’s final forum, you initially used another member of my alliance to vote for me, to get me out and set up DG.
September 25, 2015 at 11:01 am
nettiebarron
Not true!
September 25, 2015 at 11:03 am
todahshy
I used another member of your alliance to vote Inkarnit but he was not in power. Then I voted for you because I didn’t think anyone else would vote for you and I would be out of power (totally didn’t see the Beau play coming).
September 25, 2015 at 11:10 am
Inkarnit
I have to say that the Beau play was the big surprise in there. With Beau admitting he was pretty much unavailable and resigned to us killing him, I didn’t foresee him popping in to influence Novak. I believe todahshy was not intending for those results either.
September 25, 2015 at 11:13 am
spookymilk
I would’ve been surprised if he hadn’t. Beau is the best Fall, Caesar player, and his winning instincts were going to give in when he had the chance.
September 25, 2015 at 10:44 am
mbnovak
My thought is that if Roxanne is going to be around, she could also be an awfully powerful ally.
September 25, 2015 at 10:44 am
Inkarnit
That’s certainly an if that would require past performance to be disregarded.
September 25, 2015 at 10:47 am
daneekasghost
She set up caftermath for the alliance on day 3. Up until that point we had no outsiders vulnerable after the AMR vote due to failed influences.
September 25, 2015 at 10:52 am
Inkarnit
Well yeah. I’m not saying she’s been useless. Just that she doesn’t act early is all.
September 25, 2015 at 10:46 am
Inkarnit
Playing the wine card right now for Roxanne would require to come see this discussion and act, right?
September 25, 2015 at 10:48 am
daneekasghost
If you play the wine card to roxanne and she doesn’t go out this time, it becomes very hard to make her vulnerable again.
September 25, 2015 at 10:49 am
Inkarnit
Yeah. That would make her, like, my best friend!
I’m just trolling though. Not gonna do that. Just thought it would be funny.
September 25, 2015 at 10:51 am
daneekasghost
Yeah. That would make her, like, my best friend!
I’m not sure you caught the implication of my post.
September 25, 2015 at 10:53 am
Inkarnit
Maybe not.
September 25, 2015 at 10:48 am
spookymilk
Yeah, although her coming over here and acting would also require her to be awake, which also seems to be an if.
September 25, 2015 at 11:01 am
daneekasghost
Class for the next two hours.
September 25, 2015 at 1:00 pm
daneekasghost
I didn’t mean that you all had to stop talking in that time.
September 25, 2015 at 1:08 pm
nettiebarron
Everything just stops when you’re away.
September 25, 2015 at 1:02 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
I’m awake now. And it seems like everyone either wants to be my friend or wants to take me out. Not sure how I feel about that, it looks like our evil alliance has crumbled so is it maybe time for a new one?…
September 25, 2015 at 1:07 pm
spookymilk
I’m not entirely sure it’s time to break up the band. I was mostly waiting for you to show up and weigh in on everything here.
September 25, 2015 at 1:10 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
So keeping the group together would mean that Todah goes today, right? And where does Inkarnit lie now in this alliance? Because putting two votes on an alliance member isn’t really the best way to stay together.
September 25, 2015 at 1:11 pm
spookymilk
I’m really not considering Inkarnit, who broke from us twice, to be part of this.
September 25, 2015 at 1:12 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
But, because Todah is one of the bigger threats I would prefer to do that, but if we aren’t sticking together then Annette is not someone I want on the opposite side of me because of her card and remaining influence.
September 25, 2015 at 1:18 pm
nettiebarron
Well, I can’t influence you anymore, so there’s that. You have three influences left, which makes you both valuable and a threat.
September 25, 2015 at 1:17 pm
spookymilk
I can’t solve the you/Annette issue, but I don’t think it’s a question that needs to be answered in this forum.
September 25, 2015 at 1:08 pm
nettiebarron
If we don’t break up the band, it means we take Todah out now.
September 25, 2015 at 1:19 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
There is another option in my eyes, it seems that todahshy, Annette, and I have been considered dangerous and we could join together as a super trio and with our influences we could go pretty far. Thoughts?
September 25, 2015 at 1:20 pm
nettiebarron
Todah has no more influences he can use and I only have one. But we do have the highest remaining cards.
September 25, 2015 at 1:22 pm
spookymilk
You’d be putting a lot on the line with nettie and todah only having four total influences.
September 25, 2015 at 1:25 pm
spookymilk
Also, in almost every game he plays, todah breaks from alliances whether it helps him or not.
September 25, 2015 at 1:26 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Well maybe we should recruit some other members as well… Spooky?
September 25, 2015 at 1:29 pm
nettiebarron
One of us HAS to go out here, and Spooky already has two votes. Or we can get rid of Nibbish.
September 25, 2015 at 1:29 pm
spookymilk
I’m not sure I’m seeing the need for a new alliance, but tell me what you’re proposing.
September 25, 2015 at 1:30 pm
Inkarnit
You should recruit me because I wasn’t ever entertaining the idea of betraying you. I actually prevented myself from being influenced into doing so.
September 25, 2015 at 1:36 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
That’s also a possibility. Spooky does already have two votes could be an easy out and we could move from there. Or we could just all team up if you and spooky can play nice.
September 25, 2015 at 1:23 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Where is Todah at I would really like to hear what he thinks
September 25, 2015 at 1:25 pm
nettiebarron
I’m sure he’ll say whatever keeps him safe here.
September 25, 2015 at 2:07 pm
todahshy
I’m diwn with superpowers aligning. Seems like we are the next 3 to go if we don’t team up.
September 25, 2015 at 2:08 pm
spookymilk
DG and I have clearly laid out that this is not how it would be played.
September 25, 2015 at 1:32 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Well our alliance is seeming a little too big and a little too unsure for my liking, especially since I haven’t been very active in the morning I feel danger all around me right now. If Annette Todah you and I all team up now it’s a reasonable sized alliance with a lot of strong cards and an ok amount of influences. Maybe we could bring in one more if it still feels risky?
September 25, 2015 at 1:35 pm
spookymilk
Not sure who you’re talking to here.
September 25, 2015 at 1:36 pm
daneekasghost
pretty sure it’s you.
September 25, 2015 at 1:37 pm
spookymilk
I was certainly hoping nobody was legitimately entertaining Inkarnit as an ally at this point.
September 25, 2015 at 1:38 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
It wouldn’t post in the comment and then it popped up here. I hate the mobile app.
September 25, 2015 at 1:45 pm
Inkarnit
No of course not. Why would anyone consider that when spooky says it’s a bad idea?
September 25, 2015 at 1:48 pm
spookymilk
In fairness, I don’t have to point it out. It should be pretty obvious at this point.
September 25, 2015 at 2:10 pm
todahshy
You also said I would be safe if I protected you. Your word means squat in this game to me right now.
September 25, 2015 at 2:10 pm
todahshy
Ugh this should have been a reply above.
September 25, 2015 at 2:12 pm
spookymilk
So you essential argument is that I should favor you over people I’ve been with all game long? I was in survival mode. I’m more shocked than anybody that I actually survived.
September 25, 2015 at 1:33 pm
daneekasghost
I, for one, think a roxanne/todahshy/nettie trio is a great idea, and I hope they pursue that.
September 25, 2015 at 1:38 pm
spookymilk
Now that you’re back, I’m certainly interested in your thoughts on the current landscape.
September 25, 2015 at 1:40 pm
spookymilk
I’d love for Novak to pop his cherubic face in here as well.
September 25, 2015 at 1:41 pm
daneekasghost
novak is one I’m also interested in hearing from.
September 25, 2015 at 1:44 pm
Inkarnit
Indeed.
September 25, 2015 at 1:41 pm
daneekasghost
If we stick with the current alliance there’s only one way forward and that requires us to get our influences figured out.
If there’s going to be a breakup, I’m currently undecided whether I want to jump to a new alliance or go it alone in avoidance mode for a few rounds. There are good alliances out there that I would join without hesitation, but there are others that I think I could wait out and flip closer to the end.
September 25, 2015 at 1:45 pm
nettiebarron
I think we should stick together . . . mostly. Figure them out how?
September 25, 2015 at 1:47 pm
daneekasghost
Unfortunately, we need roxanne or novak to make the same commitment before we can go forward.
September 25, 2015 at 1:48 pm
Inkarnit
Figure out who’s going to force ZG into voting todahshy today then force me into voting ZG tomorrow is what he means.
September 25, 2015 at 1:54 pm
daneekasghost
is what he means.
I’m pretty sure you caught the implication of my post.
September 25, 2015 at 2:13 pm
todahshy
So Annette and Roxeanne. Just in case you didn’t see my reply above. I think it makes the most sense for us to team up. I think DG should join in. Together we would be guaranteed final 4.
September 25, 2015 at 2:17 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
I like this plan. The evil alliance has been good to me so far but I know that I am in the bottom of it and I feel like my time is coming back if I don’t make a move. Annette, what are you thinking?
September 25, 2015 at 2:20 pm
spookymilk
Honestly, how are you on the bottom of it?
September 25, 2015 at 2:22 pm
todahshy
Everyone detailing that she is the top threat left. Then also on top of that saying she is most likely to make a mistake. So calling her stupid on top of it. Gee I wonder why she feels on the bottom?

todahshy
I repeat myself a lot when I use my phone heh.
September 25, 2015 at 2:25 pm
spookymilk
I guess. I didn’t consider her to be the bottom of this and I think she’ll practically coast to the end if she sticks with us. Entering a new alliance, though, would likely put her at the bottom.
September 25, 2015 at 2:26 pm
nettiebarron
No one called her stupid. DG said she was more likely to make a mistake. As this is her first time, that is not an unfair assumption.
September 25, 2015 at 2:28 pm
todahshy
More likely to make a mistake than me?! I would be insulted if someone said that about me!
September 25, 2015 at 2:29 pm
spookymilk
Okay, toady, you get a high-five for that joke.
September 25, 2015 at 2:18 pm
Inkarnit
Except you should have me instead of DG. I was only targeting you when we were enemies. If we’re not, I’m not targeting you. I voted for you in Big Brother! (OK that part is irrelevant)
September 25, 2015 at 2:28 pm
nettiebarron
Well, since you asked, I am leaning toward taking out Todah and keeping the band together. But I do wish Novak would show up.
September 25, 2015 at 2:26 pm
todahshy
Oh and just remember everyone Kelly is in “survival mode” right now which apparently means he can make deals left and right with no intention of keeping them the very next forum.
September 25, 2015 at 2:27 pm
spookymilk
I kind of love how bitchy you are right now.
I’m not in survival mode at the moment. Last night my entire game hinged on one person I hadn’t worked with for a single moment to that point.
September 25, 2015 at 2:29 pm
daneekasghost
So spooky is simultaneously breaking his deal and targeting Roxanne.
September 25, 2015 at 2:31 pm
spookymilk
Heh
September 25, 2015 at 2:31 pm
todahshy
I think Kelly is clearly taegeting me right now but as soon as I’m gone Roxeanne will most likely be next.
September 25, 2015 at 2:32 pm
spookymilk
Is it somehow unclear what the actual plan is? You’re kidding here, right?
September 25, 2015 at 2:42 pm
Inkarnit
Well it’s generally unclear when someone is speaking out of both sides of their mouth. First you want him to break a tie with promises that you’ll preserve him following then you want to stay true to the alliance which means betraying that promise while simultaneously being noncommittal towards any plan that’s been put forward. You used the desire to go after me to convince todahshy to help you then you get mad at me for thinking that was serious and pre-emptively attacking you. What’s someone supposed to think?
September 25, 2015 at 2:44 pm
spookymilk
I’m not concerned enough with this conversation to spend much time on it, but I’ll say that I legitimately wonder if he’s intentionally ignoring the plan, or is unable to pick up on it.
September 25, 2015 at 2:33 pm
todahshy
Roxeanne, since Annette and DG don’t seem down. You can just influence Novak or ZG amd we have majority. Novak expressed interest in working with you earlier. Mighy be our best play. Since I need to work now I’m gonna
vote spooky
And let the cards fall where they may.
September 25, 2015 at 2:35 pm
todahshy
Also nibbish hasn’t been around much but he might be open to move forward and we know Inkarnit definitely would be if we really wanted to slum it 🙂
September 25, 2015 at 2:36 pm
Inkarnit
LOL I love you too.
September 25, 2015 at 2:40 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
I’m leaning towards breaking up the group, todahshy obviously down for this plan (although you will have to start spelling my name right soon) Annette seems like she isn’t in on it, but who would be if this is the road I choose? I will admit part of me just wants to stick with the group and coast like Spooky seems to think I can do, but that also wouldn’t get me votes if I make it to the end.
September 25, 2015 at 2:41 pm
spookymilk
I don’t know for sure how you get votes at the end, but if you go with toady and Inkarnit, your odds of getting there are extremely slim.
September 25, 2015 at 2:48 pm
nettiebarron
Roxanne, stick with the people who can spell your name! 🙂 Actually, with our cards, sticking with the original people is the better plan for both of us, I think.
September 25, 2015 at 2:56 pm
Inkarnit
Not really the soundest of advice coming from you…
September 25, 2015 at 2:59 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Ahaha butchered it.
September 25, 2015 at 3:00 pm
nettiebarron
Rixanbe is a term of endearment, obviously.
September 25, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Inkarnit
I’ve never actually misspelled your name. Just sayin’ 😉
September 25, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Inkarnit
Of course everyone knows that Anitbe.
September 25, 2015 at 2:59 pm
nettiebarron
Hahaha! Damn black phone!
September 25, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Inkarnit
Go to cutthroatjunction.wordpress.com and search for the last Fall, Caesar game wherein DG beat me because I wasn’t perceived as “doing enough” and “coasting” to the end.
September 25, 2015 at 3:03 pm
Inkarnit
Meanwhile, no one has ever actually spelled todahshy’s name correctly.
September 25, 2015 at 3:03 pm
todahshy
Yoy make the switch and all the outsider jury members instantly respect you. Sorry about your name. I spelled ot wrong once and now it is phone autocorrect Roxanne!
September 25, 2015 at 3:04 pm
todahshy
Now it will always be correct Roxanne!
September 25, 2015 at 3:04 pm
Inkarnit
So now you’re gonna just misspell every other word? 😛
September 25, 2015 at 3:25 pm
nibbish
Sorry, been on the road all day.
Interesting forum you’ve put together so far. I’d like to hear Novak’s opinion of the day’s events.
September 25, 2015 at 3:43 pm
ZG
Vote spooky
I can’t believe I’m throwing my lot in with Inkarnit. I suddenly don’t feel so good.
September 25, 2015 at 3:49 pm
spookymilk
This day deserved better than this finish, but indeed, it is finished.
What do you guys think – another day today? It’s later than usual, but we also aren’t playing until Monday if not.
September 25, 2015 at 3:50 pm
spookymilk
Oh, wait, that’s only four. I guess I was thinking it was five.
Now I’m confused. Is it four or five?
September 25, 2015 at 3:53 pm
spookymilk
…it’s four. I’m too sick to count today, dudes.
September 25, 2015 at 4:02 pm
Inkarnit
Yeah you need someone in your alliance to flip on you for you to go.
September 25, 2015 at 4:02 pm
Inkarnit
Gee thanks 😛
September 25, 2015 at 4:39 pm
daneekasghost
ZG, you should consider your options going forward. No one mentioned you as a potential partner, and if spooky goes out today, you are vulnerable next time around.
Should that come to pass, I’m someone interested in working with you.
September 25, 2015 at 4:42 pm
Inkarnit
I did call out to ZG yesterday actually. Just never got a response on it.
September 25, 2015 at 4:42 pm
daneekasghost
OK
September 25, 2015 at 4:56 pm
Inkarnit
I seem to be referred to as no one a lot since yesterday though so maybe that’s my mistake.
September 25, 2015 at 3:54 pm
spookymilk
Vote todahshy because I’d hate for this to go down as a sweep.
September 25, 2015 at 4:15 pm
daneekasghost
So the alliance is over, this round or next.
September 25, 2015 at 4:17 pm
spookymilk
todah’s got the 3 card, so I humbly suggest next.
I mean, you’d maybe be able to get him next time, but we have a real shot this time.
September 25, 2015 at 4:31 pm
daneekasghost
Well, if they’re going to vote out spooky, I want someone else to have to put a vote down.
vote: todahshy
September 25, 2015 at 4:33 pm
Inkarnit
Just as well. Self votes are overrated and no fun.
September 25, 2015 at 5:01 pm
Inkarnit
Well Novak it looks like it largely hinges on you here.
September 25, 2015 at 5:49 pm
todahshy
Or Roxeanne.
September 25, 2015 at 5:57 pm
Inkarnit
Right. I said “largely” not “solely.” Think Roxanne will flip on spooky though?
September 25, 2015 at 6:03 pm
nettiebarron
But you don’t think I will? Huh. This might be news to Spooky.
September 25, 2015 at 6:04 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
You definitely haven’t been showing signs of turning on spooky.
September 25, 2015 at 6:05 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
I on the other hand have no idea what to do that will be good for me.
September 25, 2015 at 6:09 pm
Inkarnit
You have repeatedly spoken about sticking with the original alliance. That can work this forum but after it is kinda shot regardless. So it’s up to you whether you want to take out spooky or todahshy. Everyone remaining has to agree together to remove todahshy. Only one person has to decide to remove spooky.
September 25, 2015 at 6:10 pm
nettiebarron
It isn’t just turning on Spooky. It’s turning on our alliance, which I am not opposed to, if it’s for something better. Just not sure that’s the sitch here.
September 25, 2015 at 6:14 pm
Inkarnit
Well play it out:
You vote todahshy along with the rest. Tomorrow you are in power along with spooky, DG, Novak, and Roxanne. What happens then?
You vote spooky and majority is reached. Tomorrow you are in power with me, nibbish, todahshy, and ZG. Now what happens?
September 25, 2015 at 6:09 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Dammit todahshy I’m going back to spelling your name wrong.
September 25, 2015 at 6:27 pm
todahshy
Can’t believe my phone did this again ugh.
September 25, 2015 at 6:12 pm
mbnovak
Alright, have read everything. The question that remains for me right now is, if we all vote Todahshy, who goes home tomorrow? I’d be easily inclined to stick with the original alliance if I had an answer to that question that didn’t involve me being a real option.
September 25, 2015 at 6:15 pm
Inkarnit
Yeah, you pretty much have to sacrifice one person. And if Roxanne thinks that one person is her, she might as well vote spooky today. Which leaves spooky, DG, or you as the sacrifice tomorrow.
September 25, 2015 at 6:16 pm
Inkarnit
Or, you know, Annette. But same thing as Roxanne. If she’s the sacrifice she won’t vote todahshy.
September 25, 2015 at 6:28 pm
todahshy
Come with Roxanne and I. Team Gods and Mortals reunion!
September 25, 2015 at 6:28 pm
nettiebarron
Roxanne, you and I could also all vote for other people, Spooky dies but not at our hands and we are fine tomorrow.
September 25, 2015 at 6:29 pm
todahshy
Ooooh that would be fun.
September 25, 2015 at 6:29 pm
Inkarnit
That’s an option too. As is not voting at all. But then you killed your alliance anyway and it will be reviewed come final voting. But it’s an option.
September 25, 2015 at 6:30 pm
nettiebarron
Just saying it’s an option.
September 25, 2015 at 6:31 pm
Inkarnit
Indeed. Let’s review that one. Spooky dies. Tomorrow the eligible victims are me, nibbish, todahshy, and ZG. Then what?
September 25, 2015 at 6:32 pm
spookymilk
She had the chance to make a statement by voting for me and forcing ZG to do the same, while assuming she was on the bottom over here for some reason that still isn’t clear. She also could have forced ZG to vote for todah, setting him up as the vote tomorrow. Now ZG has voted of his own accord and she’d be last in line to vote for me, which is seemingly the situation she wanted to avoid.
And if she throws away the vote, it doesn’t help her make any kind of move, either. Right now it’s honestly boiled down to loyalty or none, because either way presents difficulty.
September 25, 2015 at 6:35 pm
Inkarnit
I suppose she could still force Novak to vote with her, right? That’s still one option.
September 25, 2015 at 6:48 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
I definitely still feel like the bottom, I’m new and apparently most likely to make a mistake, I also have to take into account the alliances who will stick together because you have worked together in the past. Of course nobody wants me to think I’m on the bottom because I have a kind of good position with my influences and card so I am also having some trust issues.
September 25, 2015 at 6:51 pm
todahshy
I’m still looking for a partner. I’ve been rebuffed by everyone so far. Literally since forum 2 I’ve been trying to rally the troops. If you come over, you’re not last in my book.
September 25, 2015 at 6:53 pm
Inkarnit
Alliances from the past really don’t matter much around here. At some point we’ve all stabbed each other in the back. So I wouldn’t worry too much about that. As for being on the bottom, I think you are based on the conversations I’ve seen, but obviously no one is going to admit that.
September 25, 2015 at 6:53 pm
Inkarnit
I’ve been telling you I’ll work with you todahshy. You just don’t want me!
September 25, 2015 at 6:54 pm
spookymilk
It is absolute folly to assume that people that have worked together before are going to work together again. Nobody here really trusts anyone else. Nobody here plays that boringly.
If you’re taking alliances into account, you do have one, where people would at least have to do something regrettable to take you out. If you join a new alliance, they don’t have any goodwill built up with you.
September 25, 2015 at 6:55 pm
spookymilk
I think you are based on the conversations I’ve seen, but obviously no one is going to admit that.
And of course Inkarnit is going to say that, despite probably having no belief in it whatsoever.
September 25, 2015 at 6:57 pm
Inkarnit
I absolutely believe it. I at least believe that one member of the alliance feels that way, if not more. DG and todahshy in yesterday’s forum discussed going for her today. That would seem to indicate she’s at least on bottom to DG. Or was yesterday. Then the other discussions that came up seemed to indicate the choice was between todahshy or Roxanne. That seems a strong indicator of “bottom” status to me too.
September 25, 2015 at 6:36 pm
mbnovak
I’ll be back after 8 with a decision. I’m leaning pretty strongly toward taking out Todah anyway right now. I don’t like the throw a vote away strategy, because it’s weak. And safe. Safe is boring. And weak.
September 25, 2015 at 6:37 pm
Inkarnit
Be careful… Roxanne can still rope you into a vote while you’re away.
September 25, 2015 at 6:39 pm
nettiebarron
Yeah, I mostly agree. I just wanted to put it out there.
September 25, 2015 at 6:47 pm
Inkarnit
Regardless of how you vote Roxanne, Annette, and Novak, I’m willing to pursue a relationship going forward.
September 25, 2015 at 7:00 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
If I choose to vote out spooky and I have Todah and Inkarnit, who is out target tomorrow?
September 25, 2015 at 7:04 pm
Inkarnit
I guess it comes down to nibbish or ZG. But I have a feeling ZG would join us.
September 25, 2015 at 7:21 pm
daneekasghost
Yeah, because who wouldn’t want to be the afterthought fifth wheel in a five-person alliance?
September 25, 2015 at 7:06 pm
Inkarnit
Oh. Of course your could influence Novak and he’d be a target option as well.
September 25, 2015 at 7:11 pm
spookymilk
Even if you can trust Inkarnit to stick to a plan and todah to go an entire game without flipping, I think you’d be voted out tomorrow. Inkarnit wouldn’t be able to Influence anyone, nor can todah. The alliance you would have just flipped on would recognize that you’ve got three (or two, if you burn one) Influences left and would have good reason to target you over everyone else available for voting. Inkarnit could easily be roped in as a vote if he isn’t there in the opening moment again and the others would have to follow.
September 25, 2015 at 7:13 pm
Inkarnit
These are obvious lies and propaganda!
Oh. Actually I guess that’s potentially accurate. We’d need another alliance member. Like Annette. Or Novak.
September 25, 2015 at 7:15 pm
spookymilk
Meanwhile, if you go with us and the others do as well, you still have the card and some influence, but you’re standing among me, Novak, Annette and Brooks, four of the boogeymen around here. You wouldn’t be voted out and there would still be plenty of game left to do something big.
September 25, 2015 at 7:16 pm
Inkarnit
Take down the bogeyman! Be a hero!
September 25, 2015 at 7:17 pm
Inkarnit
Also, quit with your sense making.
September 25, 2015 at 7:18 pm
spookymilk
It’s all I know how to do!
September 25, 2015 at 7:23 pm
todahshy
I say yank Novak in and we kill him. If you don’t want to use an influence then I say Nibbish.
September 25, 2015 at 7:28 pm
todahshy
Of course if Novak wants to come in willingly I’d be 100% down to work with him. Basically anyone who willingly comes over I’m ride or die with to the end.
September 25, 2015 at 7:29 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
If only he were here to weigh in. I would really like to save an influence today if possible.
September 25, 2015 at 7:33 pm
nettiebarron
He did weigh in. He says he’s leaning heavily toward Todahshy.
September 25, 2015 at 7:38 pm
todahshy
Just remember how Kelly turned on the deal with me when he was in survival mode yesterday before believing any deal he throws out there today.
September 25, 2015 at 7:41 pm
spookymilk
Treating these two situations as similar is intentionally dishonest. I’ve been aligned with Roxanne since the beginning, and just outlined why she’d almost certainly be voted out next if she goes with you, no matter what your alliance would do.
September 25, 2015 at 7:46 pm
nettiebarron
Roxanne, if we (you, me and Novak) take out Todah, you and I are in pretty good shape, really, as long as you get up early tomorrow.
September 25, 2015 at 7:49 pm
todahshy
Me, you and Roxanne would be even better 😉
September 25, 2015 at 8:50 pm
nibbish
She wouldn’t even need to. There’s not that much to fear from a Todahshy vote on her part.
If she’s really that worried, one of us can influence her early Monday, and she can actor or reject it at her leisure.
September 25, 2015 at 7:52 pm
Inkarnit
Speaking of tomorrow, are we breaking for the weekend or continuing? If continuing, are we adjusting start time to not be 7am on a Saturday?
September 25, 2015 at 7:53 pm
spookymilk
I said we’d be breaking. I mean, if everyone agreed we could do a Saturday forum, but I can guarantee at least one person who wouldn’t agree so it’s not happening.
September 25, 2015 at 7:56 pm
Inkarnit
I’m good with that.
September 25, 2015 at 8:04 pm
nettiebarron
Oh yeah, definitely no to 7 a.m. on a Saturday. **shudders**
September 25, 2015 at 8:31 pm
mbnovak
Vote Todahshy
I could throw a random vote away and be safe here, but I think it’s a bit early to start doing that and there’s no nobility there, and I know this might make me vulnerable tomorrow, but I think we should still be taking care of business, vulnerabilities be damned.
September 25, 2015 at 8:33 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
So is Abby still playing or…?
September 25, 2015 at 8:35 pm
Inkarnit
She was killed like 3 forums ago…
September 25, 2015 at 8:37 pm
rockitlikeroxanne
Wow where was I?
September 25, 2015 at 8:38 pm
Inkarnit
No idea. You didn’t cast a that forum.
September 25, 2015 at 8:37 pm
ZG
🙂
September 25, 2015 at 8:38 pm
Inkarnit
😉
September 25, 2015 at 8:40 pm
todahshy
If I die, take it home boys. If Annette and Roxanne can’t see that all the mid/low influence people in their alliance are trying to make them feel bad about not being in majority or ditching them solely because they want to take them out next round there is nothing else I can do.
September 25, 2015 at 8:49 pm
mbnovak
I haven’t tried to make Annette or Roxanne feel bad at all. They’re in a good spot no matter where they go, and I have explicitly suggested that they’d make powerful allies. Part of why I made the decision I did is because Annette tended to agree, and that carried a lot of weight with me.
I don’t know how things will go down on Monday, but you can believe I’m absolutely going to listen to both Roxanne and Annette on Monday, just as much as I would Spooky or DG. (Assuming you go home, and even if it ends up being Spooky, probably… I can’t imagine that if one of them put the kill vote on Spooky that it would be them I’m targeting on Monday.).
September 25, 2015 at 9:11 pm
spookymilk
The framing on that is laugh-out-loud funny.
September 25, 2015 at 8:39 pm
todahshy
?
September 25, 2015 at 8:40 pm
nettiebarron
:p
September 25, 2015 at 8:47 pm
nibbish
All this nonsense about me being the next target is just that. I can pretty much guarantee that if you go into next forum with that as your fallback option, you’re all going to be drummed out in four forms or less.
You’ve got a good thing at the moment, with the potential to build from there. Why throw that away?
September 25, 2015 at 8:51 pm
todahshy
It would be super easy, if we have 3 locked (ZG, me and Inkarnit). All we need is Roxanne to come aboard use and influence and bam your dead and we have the next target set up for the following round. Plan becomes even more bulletproof if Annette came aboard as well.
If they don’t flip, the 5 vulnerable are all in the axis of evil and I wonder who they will take out? Could it be the one who spent a whole day deciding whether or not to turn on them?
September 25, 2015 at 8:57 pm
mbnovak
It could be. It could also come down to everyone left. All of us putting one vote on each other and leaving it to outsiders is probably the smart play to create new targets.
September 25, 2015 at 8:57 pm
nibbish
Annette knows better than to do that.
You’re on the block, so this is ivory the only road you’ve got, but everyone else involved has better options.
September 25, 2015 at 9:02 pm
todahshy
Yes and if they stick with the plan the better targets become Roxanne and Annette no matter what Novak is saying right now. did you see how quickly they circled around on me today? That will be you tomorrow.
September 25, 2015 at 9:05 pm
nibbish
Why would I try to sum get out tomorrow? Why would Annette try to drum her out tomorrow?
You believed a desperate Spooky. That’s completely different from the situation she faces now.
September 25, 2015 at 9:07 pm
nibbish
Besides, who knows how this day goes if Inkarnit doesn’t jump the gun and put everyone on the defensive? I had every intention of thinking through things.
September 25, 2015 at 9:09 pm
todahshy
I remember being similarly reassured by you yesterday. Glad to see how that worked out for me…
September 25, 2015 at 9:11 pm
nibbish
Haha, are you serious? You’re the one talking about taking me out. Do you expect a bouquet of roses?
September 25, 2015 at 9:15 pm
todahshy
My preferred option was to get Novak influenced over and take him out. I’m forced to go after you out of circumstance. I’m planning on being totally loyal to the people who choose to save me.
September 25, 2015 at 9:17 pm
nibbish
You can of course see where is object got your plan.
The thing is, Roxanne could have her cake and eat it, too, but no one on the block is going to be too excited about that option.
September 25, 2015 at 9:03 pm
nibbish
Besides, the point is that not everyone is talking about her as if she’s the next to go.
My influence number is not useful, but I can be useful as an ally. There are others.
September 25, 2015 at 9:26 pm
todahshy
I’m a useful ally too. I’m a vote you can count on that won’t get ripped away from you if you are counting on a number at a critical juncture in the game.
September 25, 2015 at 9:27 pm
spookymilk
Oh, please, Salamangela.
September 25, 2015 at 9:19 pm
nibbish
Roxanne. We take out Toda this turn, we take out spooky the next. Easy peasy.
September 25, 2015 at 9:24 pm
todahshy
Roxanne you take out Spooky this turn you become a savior to me, Inkarnit and ZG.
You take out me you go back to an alliance you have been openly considering turning on all day who will need to target one of their own next round. Easy peasy.
Ok, I’m out for the night. Whatever your decision please make it soon 😛
September 25, 2015 at 9:25 pm
nibbish
Or, she takes you out this turn and becomes their savior the next turn.
September 25, 2015 at 9:26 pm
todahshy
We know how this story ends, she will be stabbed so fast we can just call her Julius.
September 25, 2015 at 9:30 pm
nibbish
there would be no reason to. Influence number means nada to me, because everyone’s got it over me.
September 25, 2015 at 9:26 pm
spookymilk
She goes next if she takes me out. Logically she’s the only sound choice to make so there’s no margin for error. If we take you out, I honestly can’t imagine she goes. I probably do, or maybe Brooks does.
September 25, 2015 at 9:30 pm
mbnovak
I like the option where we make the outsiders decide which of us goes out.

Nah, we’re all too controlling for that!

Ugh…with the outsider business already.

Well, perpetuating this sort of talk is likely to make them vote spontaneously without due consideration.

Whatever. You idiots love me.

If you mean this whole day in general, I’m inclined to agree. I love this place.

Ok this has gone on too long, everyone has convinced me that I’m next no matter what I do, I would rather do something drastic so that if I do make it to the end I have a chance at some votes. In other words
Vote Spookymilk
By the way this has been a very hard decision for me today!

You really, really weren’t. (And still aren’t). The only person saying it was the guy you just saved. He just talked a lot, and thereby saved himself.
Apparently he learned something from Gods and Mortals.
September 25, 2015 at 9:50 pm
nibbish
This. All of this.
Roxanne was never in the slightest bit of peril.
September 25, 2015 at 9:48 pm
nibbish
But… I had a great plan, and all toda had was threats that he came up with on the spot.
Why would I go after you? Why would Annette go after you? Why wouldn’t we vote out spooky next turn, thereby having your cake and eating it, instead of giving all of your cake to toda?
September 25, 2015 at 9:49 pm
nettiebarron
I want cake.
September 25, 2015 at 9:54 pm
nibbish
So do I, but no one’s going to give us any, so we need to take it.
September 25, 2015 at 10:00 pm
mbnovak
I don’t think the cake is a truth.
September 25, 2015 at 9:54 pm

If you play your cards right you should be able to coast to the final 2 from here.
September 25, 2015 at 9:53 pm
todahshy
I see no way Spooky would have gone next no matter what you guys are saying.
September 25, 2015 at 9:54 pm
nibbish
150% as likely as literally any scenario you thought up today.
September 25, 2015 at 9:58 pm
nibbish
Why would I lie? It made perfect sense to take out spooky the next turn. You think that “the alliance” was still a thing that actually existed?
September 25, 2015 at 10:07 pm
nettiebarron
Second.
September 25, 2015 at 9:54 pm
todahshy
Well, I am forever in your debt obviously.
September 25, 2015 at 9:43 pm
ZG
I didn’t think a Spooky vote was actually going to go through, but with all the alliance-sticking-together talk and influencing ZG, it seemed the safer option. Either the alliance was shook up or I wasn’t in power.
Sorry I wasn’t around more to feel that out today.
September 25, 2015 at 9:46 pm
spookymilk
Just to be clear, the game will commence on Monday morning at 9am Central. Kind of clever of us to have the biggest day be a cliffhanger day. I’m going to give us all a high-five for this.
Next week or sometime soon, we’ll do a Google Hangout game so we can play for real.

Did that just happen? For real?

I’m just surprised is all. I see Annette never made a choice. She’s safe now. Where shall the lines be drawn?
September 25, 2015 at 10:42 pm
nibbish
I would say that I’ve got no beef with you and never really did.
I would furthermore say that Toda just weaseled his way out of an obvious elimination with nothing but weapons-grade nonsense and should obviously be the next on any power group’s list.
I would say that you should keep your wine next turn. You’re going to need it soon, ESPECIALLY if Toda somehow evades the next elimination, after which point, you might not have another clear shot at him.
ZG, the Night Owls are dead. We should work together here
Everyone bring a friend to the Toda elimination.

Why me?
September 25, 2015 at 10:48 pm

“ZG, the Night Owls are dead. We should work together here”
Any former Night Owls wanna have some fun?
September 25, 2015 at 10:51 pm
nibbish
Are you talking to Novak or Brooks here?
Brooks said “the alliance is over this elimination or next”.
Novak said a bunch of stuff that I’m not looking back over.
The Night Owls can be dead without me having to immediately turn on them, I’m just saying that ZG doesn’t need to look at this like a big Night Owl conspiracy, because the alliance itself is no more. Now I can work with Brooks and Novak without any labels. It’s more pure that way,
I doubt they’ll have TOO much against taking you out. Maybe not, though.
September 25, 2015 at 10:56 pm
todahshy
I know Novak seemed open to working with Roxanne. I’d love to work with him too.
I always love working with DG despite the inevitable heartbreak but he seems pretty anti-me this game.
You know I love working with you more than anyone I’m just it’s getting turned into a me or you situation 😦
September 25, 2015 at 10:57 pm

I’m just sad*

But yeah, who ever said who I was and wasn’t including here? I’m not drawing lines.

I imagine it will be just swell to work with somebody.
September 25, 2015 at 11:09 pm
mbnovak
We should probably vote ZG, huh?
September 25, 2015 at 11:12 pm
Inkarnit
Toda did get out of an elimination with some smooth talking. I stopped trying to convince Roxanne because spooky wasn’t providing false information and didn’t think the argument was worthwhile. I’m quite impressed.
September 25, 2015 at 11:09 pm
nettiebarron
I fully expected to break a tie and be up for elimination on Monday. But now what? I need friends, too.
September 25, 2015 at 11:09 pm
Inkarnit
You can be my friend too.
September 25, 2015 at 11:12 pm

What instrument do you play?
( I feel like I might be setting you up here.)

The skin flute.

You’re out of the band.

This is discrimination.

I should never overestimate you.

Todahshy breaks up the dominant alliance of the first half of the game and talks his way out of elimination when he is one of the best, if not the absolute best, targets available.
Wonder who has the best jury argument right now?
September 26, 2015 at 7:03 am
todahshy
Then I’m a great meat shield for the other big targets to keep around for a bit since I’ll be thr likely one to go first when things go south.
September 26, 2015 at 11:45 am
nettiebarron
Didn’t things already go South?
September 26, 2015 at 11:50 am
daneekasghost
This would be true if this were Survivor or some other game where everyone is up for every elimination.
Should you decide, you don’t have to be vulnerable for a long time in this game after the next forum.
September 26, 2015 at 12:37 pm
todahshy
That’s not true all it takes is a wine card to force the issue. Besides everyone has said they won’t vote for someone who plays that way so why would I do so?
September 26, 2015 at 3:46 pm
daneekasghost
Because you already have a strong jury case, like I said.
Plus people say shit they don’t mean all the time in this game.
Anyway, the wine works, but requires a sacrifice of your choosing, and there’s lots more players that are potentially uninfluenceable, and if anyone outside of that group is serious about winning they better have a better plan for getting them out than taking two full forums to set up each elimination and hoping that the wine continues to fall into the right hands.
Which is why I thought it would be a mistake to let you, Annette, and Roxanne all survive this vote.
Time will tell if I was right, I guess.
