Interesting.

Wondering where he is going with this.

Hm. Either I was right (or testing us?) Or maybe he's doing two-way communication as Legate suggested .. maybe taking our vote as a dream-suggestion?

Oh, that makes sense! The filter doesn't look at quotes. Would also explain why it doesn't affect me.

Legate, you're caught. :p

Same applied to Lhuna yesterday.

It might turn up beneficial/we find out more from it tomorrow, but for today, it's too much of a turnaround to make in 2 hours.

Okay, so what was he trying to say?

I mean what's the post above even supposed to mean? Am I reading the sentence correctly if I read it as "Dead, you messed up my plan"? Or?

Also if yes, then what? Did he want us to vote something else so we would cover for his Seerishness? If yes, he did a terrible job of it.

Can I also say that he's been posting horribly unclear and weird, sort of complicated posts since the beginning? I hope he isn't posting any coded message. Has anyone tried to read, say, the first letters of each of his posts or some nonsense like that? I may look at that.

Or how are you reading this? Or is it okay and now he's distancing himself from the stuff? Or what? Or did he want us to send him a Seer pick? No? (But that would be a stupid thing to ask. He should figure it out himself.)

I'm curious what in the name of all the grandchildren of Finwë is this supposed to mean.

He's got you lot figured out tho :p

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-13-2020 02:08 PM

Also: looked through Boro's posts for some obvious stuff and also his early posts for some announcement of strategy and found zip, nil, nada.

And now Rune made a post titled "The Last Will And Testament" and that makes me somewhat worried. I seriously hope he isn't the Seer :eek: But if he is and Boro knew it, then he did abysmal job of alerting us to that.

There. But I mean that means nothing, he would likely say the same also as Wolf.

Anyways, the good side certainly being that the discussion on the thread got rolling. That can't be denied. The Day was rather sleepy otherwise, it seemed to me.

Rikae 05-13-2020 02:11 PM

Why would we "trust our gifteds" when they aren't seers? Why would we screw up the vote so badly as to let the baddies break a tie?

*facepalm*

I don't care what Boro wants, tomorrow I'm voting for one of these people who seems to think the virus is eating our brains.

Rikae 05-13-2020 02:17 PM

I think he's distancing himself like I expected him to. I'm thinking he wanted the effect of a QT Rune vote, rather than wanting Rune lynched toDay. Hope I'm right, though.

That's what I thought too and hope that it will have a positive effect and won't result in some nonsense mess.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

There is another trick we could pull. For instance, we could discuss Wilson's disease of the groin that results in alopecia only in the circumstance where ANA manifests as the classic combination of cerebellar intention tremor and CNS dysesthesia, and whether monoclonal antibodies would be of any help in that situation. :p

satansaloser2005 05-13-2020 02:31 PM

My prince is indeed being ever so bizarre.

:rolleyes:

Galadriel55 05-13-2020 02:34 PM

Half an hour to go. Bets on how many votes will come in the last 5 minutes? :D

And it's between 2 people again. Why is it that three-way bandwagons are so rare? Especially since there is usually a range of people to choose from in the beginning.

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-13-2020 02:44 PM

But nope. Turns out people are avoiding last-minute thing. Well whatever happens, this will be close.

I think it always starts to snowball once it becomes "clear" that two people are ahead of others. Something to consider for election sociologists/crowd psychologists/whatever. Who probably have lots of existing theories and working models on this.

Anyways, I think we can slowly get ready to welcoming our new guest, which, if I'm not mistaken, is going to be Zil. Most. Curious.

The type of beer you're gonna get, Zil, depends on whether you're innocent or not.

In my defence it is very nice, dry cider.

Just a moment. I know where each of these comes from, but isn't that a bit too much? What are we now, officially the drinking thread? Where did we earn that reputation?

EDIT: x-ed with Lalaith. LALAITH! What are we, a bar?!?

Seemingly, we are :D

Macalaure 05-13-2020 03:15 PM

Well, at least my feeling on Inzil was correct, other than that... ugh!

Having said that, Hi Inzil! :)

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-13-2020 03:16 PM

All right, I guess it is then...

Welcome, Zil! And I personally am sorry for ever doubting you and perhaps, unwittingly, leading to this moment.

But here. Have some of our best beer... and then you can try to make sense of what we've been doing here in the past Days (and Nights).

We'll be also most curious about your input and ideas and all.

satansaloser2005 05-13-2020 03:17 PM

Well, I did say it was likely Dun and I were both innocent.... :rolleyes:

Here's to you! * raising a glass of nice and light Portuguese red wine *

And welcome Inzil. I hope the narration gave you some solace for the maltreatment you got in the game. :)

Nogrod 05-13-2020 03:21 PM

Well, thanks, As a matter of fact, I do have a frothy beverage.

Inziladun 05-13-2020 03:53 PM

I'm actually really surprised to have not been here before now. I usually get lynched by Day 3 at the latest.
