Captain's Log:

26/8/18– Second watch aboard the Nautilus has proved slightly more difficult than anticipated. Passengers argued all day about what could have caused the deaths of the Candiru and Giant Squid noticed from first watch. I was impressed that they noticed the tiniest details. I am confident, as is Capt. KD, that the rest of this voyage will yield significant scientific discovery. Unfortunately, earlier today the submarine was tossed and turned as we passed through the Mediterranean. We were caught between Scylla and Charybdis. The engines were at full speed to avoid the whirpool's suction and Ned Land launched a harpoon as a distraction for Scylla, the 6 headed sea monster. Many a ship has been caught between these two and not lived to tell the tale. We are lucky to have made it out alive. Unfortunately, as she saw us pass through unscathed, Scylla was upset at her failure and jumped into Charybdis' swirling doom. Scylla was drowned and Charybdis imploded in sorrow.

Dead is @CoffeeQuestionMark, Scylla and Charybdis. We collected what we could of their bodies and brought them on board to be burned. Their ashes will be scattered along our journey in all Seven Seas.

That is me remembering that you didn't answer why you voted for me earlier in the day when KC asked everyone to explain their votes, in combination with feels.

Why wasn't that reasoning in your original vote?
 
Well I can't just waffle across 5 (?) people and hold my vote until the last possible minute every day, AM. People will start to think I'm sketchy!

But don't you want to be seen as sketchy? Wasn't that the point of all of this?

Because I wanted to get it in before lynch close so it would be counted

Why was it important to get your vote in?
 
Do you think it changed the outcome? And how did you feel about SAR vs. Coffee?
The outcome of tonight's main contenders? No. But as the day went on coffee seemed more and more village, so that's why I unlynched hours ago. I didn't understand the SAR wagon, because she has been seeming village to me. Not going to vote for two people I have in my village camp.
 
I don't know what this is, but I don't like the implication that I caught anything from Cheezit. I'm clean!

That's what they all say

You must've seen how they were about to be tied though, right?

Am I obligated to explain my vote to someone who is not the person I'm voting for, when the person I'm voting for hasn't acknowledged it? Perhaps I was waiting to see how you would respond to said vote.
 
I'm really tired of people saying that the leading candidates both seem village, and then not arguing for someone else. Take a stand, be wrong sometimes, but fight for your opinion to be heard.
But like, you can get village feels on people without having corresponding sketchy feels for other people. I'll fully admit my dolphin vote ended up being a throwaway, partially because she was too busy to respond but partially because I didn't really have strong sketch feels for anyone.

I did not, I was packing for my first day of school tomorrow, :nailbiting:and scrambled to even skim through the two new pages of posts that had been added since I was last on.

Don't know that this is directed at me, but I'm happy to take a stand and explain my votes. I basically always do, just didn't have time to attempt to explain before lynch closed.

Is anyone ever really obligated? Probably not, I just thought it was weird.
 
About 30 minutes


I don't get that part, either. :shrug:

People were sounding like there was a delayed blocker which was probably wolfy. I get why coffee was nervous to reveal. I would have kept my vote on her with that reveal if I had been around.

And no, I'm not going to swing the vote toward anyone else 3 minutes before close but noting that this last minute waiting on voting is very non-pippy

Eh she tries to last minute vote more commonly now (though most of the time she misses the deadline by a hair)

Lynch jboo

Wow! You got your last minute vote in before lynch close! Getting better 😛
 
Okay reassessment, my top wolfy picks are jboo for pretty much just posting discussion about rez mechanics so far, SOV who hasn't said much content so far, and dolphin for voting for jboo with minor feels she wouldn't explain (what is with not explaining the jboo votes - pips did that too)

I agree with WZ that stagg's constant defense of his rng votes seems more village now especially if they've discussed how that makes him sketch before. But also could just be them in cahoots trying to get everyone off his case.

SAR seemed sketchy, but on further reflection on her posts, I actually think she sounds reasonable and the fact she defended coffee sounding village early on moves her lower on my sketch list. I think she's tunneling genny though.
 
Also pippy and AM are having a lot of back and forths this game. I find AM hard to read due to her short constant questions. Pips seems very talkative and sassy/jokey, starting to make me suspicious she's a wolf again. I agree with her reads so far though, so I'm a bit hesitant. But also I only read half her posts because she had double the amount of posts as the next highest poster..

I have not posted reads thus far, and considering you say you haven't read half my posts, I'm curious as to where you think you saw them
 
Sorry I wasn’t around for lynch close.

😱 😢
But srsly, what are you getting at with this line of questioning?

That wasn't a question.

I'm actually not that hard to read and it's a common misconception. I have very blatant wolf tells.
