Ok. You don't really want something as dull as a Read-list. I don't trust my own read that much so asking you lot to assume it has (possibly pants-on-fire) authority of any kind would by silly.
Generically, though, still one absentee. With nobody interested in voting them off like they did with BHK when the penultimate lurker. Was everyone so caught up with Tric's status (ironically, the
most visible participant, doubling the
next third most prolific poster) that lurking (plus or minus maybe an undefined BHKness) was no longer an attractive voting option?
Barring myself, for whom I'm maybe remiss in making full notes, BHK and Max have the lowest amount of combined notes (with both their 'Reads' abbreviated to that, and fully detailed elsewhere). But neither (even Max, who is voting me) give me significant vibes against them.
I've got 'funny vibes' from one person, accept the likely newbienesh of another (haven't seen them before, haven't researched their games-forum history yet) as an excuse for another, a third person is just too good at this to really assess them properly from their average daychat and someone is just crazy.
As per usual, no vote I could make right now would even get anywhere near a Hammer (if they exist, which they don't) and I have no particular wish or need to add to a bandwagon (especially an emptying one) nor try to start up my own orchestracart.
Yes, it'll be nice to get flip info (assuming that is not somehow led by scum into being very bad news of a power-death, as opposed to just the regular likely bad news of a bystander-death, with almost zero chance of being.black-hat-death unless the rest of the gang are scared to speak up - unless it's a sacrifical lamb to earn their credentials) but I refer to my past history of disliking participating in RVS. I'd almost rather be the target than be party to the first innocent dying.
(No, that is not an invitation.)
The various Reads of me have been interesting, just to pass on my appreciation. I know what I was trying to do in my post, and no-one has (outright said that they have) picked up on it. Which is good, because more chance that the wise and benificent are keeping quiet as they should, and the wily and malicious have missed my subtle hint. Interesting to hear that one person was waiting for me, though, when I was not (overly) absent at (as of my still writing) just one place below median activity.
Oh, and I know I could be trying to craft my exposure here (one reply per page, effectively, fairly consistently if you squish up double-posts) to look normal. But what
is normal for me? Darned if I know.
But, to reiterate, I choose not to vote yet. If I vote to tip the balance at day end I will have needed a
damnebly good reason for it, not a whim, so bring me to account for it as soon as you can. Tempted to vote-then-unvote our missing member (as good a temporary-vote as any) to allay those suspicions of having anti-Town powers only usable if I keep my powder
completely dry, but I'm not sure that's proof
I would unequivocably accept, given all the possible variations. Suggestions for better tests?
PPE:
Starver, as long as you're posting, please include these answers:
--You said you wanted to wait for everyone, how do you plan to respond as it looks like darkwarlock3 will not show up?
Well, I'm already posting my jumble of thoughts now without dw3, as you can see. One lurker I'd accept (heck, there could even be a Muting skill out there, and imagine if a person who was muting someone used that mutenes as an excuse to avoid questions... well, I'm not that person so I'm not doing so
--Do you feel the same about MoonyTheHuman, who has made approximately the same contribution?
Slightly different to Juicebox, who seems to be more equal in content than I, although admitedly some of my content was two limerick posts
--What benefit do you believe you might gain by not voting at all D1, if I understand your announcement correctly?
No benefit to me, game-wise. But significqntly less disbenefit to my own sensibilties, than otherwise, as somewhat waffled about already in a couple of parts of the above pre-PPE chatter. Nobody needs (or deserves) my vote right now, and there are plenty of other people with the willingness to throw weight around so it's not a case of global stalemate. If I vote, I want to mean it. Or at least be seen to want to mean it, which might not be for the same honest reasons. That's my thing, and I know it is. No reason to change.
