Mini 507: Big Brother Mafia - Game Over

[trabony]

Trabony: So what happens than if nobody is nominated, are you fine with DoS being the voice of the rest of us? I'd like to at least have a say in who we nominate.

True, it would be stupid just having the one person!

[Save The Dragons]

My choices for nominees:

Trabony

Flare

[DragonsofSummer]

I will give it a few more hours but right now the front runners are Trabony(most nominations against him), and Pug(has 4 total posts and is one of the people tied for the second most nominations).

[Pug89]

I just want to say that while I only have 4 post before this one some of the people with more post haven't necessarilly posted much content. For example Flare only has 7 posts and only one of those was in Day 1 and contains no real content. As I said in my previous post I think it is more important to look at the actual content posted and not just the number of post in determining someone's contribution.

[DragonsofSummer]

Well at least you show you are paying attention by responding to me. Which will definitely be taken into consideration when I try to decide on my final nominations.

Also I understand what you are saying, and I will have to look at that more closely too.

[DragonsofSummer]

I will

Nominate

Trabony

because the house feels that he is hurting them more than helping them even at this early point.

and

Flare

becuase he threatened me, and now is exhibiting the behavior that he threatened me for. Also he is not helping the house at all.

[pablito]

Current

Head of Household DragonsofSummer

has nominated

trabony

and

Flare

for eviction!

That is about 9 days and 1.5 hours from now.

Instructions:

HoH

its so confusing haveing dragons of summer and save the dragons. WHY ALL THE DRAGONS? anyways. i thought it was a bit weird how STD (haha) stated his nominations Trabony and Flare, with no reasons,
and the DOS nominated them. its stranger of STD because he didn't really give a reason, and he said people that most of the house was suspecting.

with DOS i think he did the majority of what people said and what he observed, so i don't think he was as suspicious there

[pickemgenius]

I think this will be interesting to see what happens.


Whoever doesn't convince me their town i'll be voting for.

[ryan]

Just a really wild theory but ryan's whole "here is a list of lurkers/non lurkers" action, just after discussions about voting out lurkers make it look like ryan is trying desperatly to create a reson to save himself. In otherwords it seems like he is saying "look at how many times i posted don't vote for me!"

As well, the "im voting for someone who has posted alot" vote seems like he is trying to cover this up.

Just a wild theory!

I

FoS: Ryan

though.

I am not quite sure how I was trying to save myself (I believe I had 1 nomination on myself at that time) I thought I had stated my reasoning for why I was voting for who I voted for. If it's still not clear, let me know and I'll explain it again.

[mneme]

Not sure I buy the Flare nomination; seems to come out of nowhere aside from personal trash-talking.

Still -- I'll wait for voting to see what the defenses look like.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

DoS, I'd like to see a Nomination count, please.

In fact, I think it should be required for the HoH's to post a nomination count in the same thread they do their official nominations for elimination. I also think it would be a good idea for the HoH to post a Nomination count every 24 RL hours, since the game is so short, we can't wait for the top of the next page to roll around. Doing that may also help to galvanize people into speaking (as it did with Pug).

Yes we can all run the numbers, but I want everything to be on the up and up. It's one thing to say that player A and B have the most votes, it's another to post the Nomination count.

[ryan]

I'm sorry, didn't we already agree to post Nomination counts?

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

I'm sorry, didn't we already agree to post Nomination counts?

Yes, but I don't see one, do you? We agreed on it days ago, and never saw a single one, not even with the HoH nomination post, hence my requests in post 161.

[ckillor]

do nomination counts really matter that much? it doesnt matter as much as whose nominated and what they have to say

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

It's all with trying to keep the HoH honest. Is DoS scum? Only a couple of people know the answer to that for sure, and I don't want

anyone

sneaking something past the town, especially at the speed this game is going to move.

[ryan]

Well it could mean alot if we were able to put two scum up for nomination.

QFT

[trabony]

Before I defend myself I want to know how I'm hurting things, as far as I'm concerned I've only been hurting myself so far in this game.

Permanently switched places with Skruffs

[Pug89]

This early in the game it's difficult to decide who to vote for especially since it is a possibility that both nominees are town. I definitly want to hear more from Flare, who hasn't really posted much anything in terms of actual content.

[DragonsofSummer]

Okay I am on a computer with the list saved on it now.

Nomination count:

Pug89 2

Trabony 4

Ryan 2

Ckillor 2

Flare 1

ChaosOmega 1

PickemGenius 1

Vel-Rahn Koon 1

STD 1


I ended up picking Flare instead of one of the people with 2 nominations because of what Pug said. I find it very suspicious that he posted a lot before the game started, and then basically disappeared once it had.

[pablito]

I have prodded the four players who have not posted in the last 48 hours.

[ChaosOmega]

I think the first nomination count really wouldn't have been that useful, mainly because most of the nominations were random. Of the 3 people with 2 nominations, they all had 1 nomination that was random. Nominations were more to start discussion than to accuse who people thought were scum.

I'm not saying later nomination counts shouldn't be posted, but the first one isn't terribly important in regards to the amount of nominations correlating with who people think are scum.

BUT the nomination count illustrates a point: the HoH in this case nominated someone with only 1 vote against them, and it was done in a rather OMGUS manner. May not be important for now, but it's definitely something to watch out for.

[DragonsofSummer]

Are you saying that what Pug pointed out, and why I took it into consideration is not a valid reason?

I mean yes I listed his threat to me, but it was more of a flavor of the game thing than anything else.

What I'm saying is that while I listed his threat, the real reason I nominated him is that he has lurked excessively once the day has started. He was prodded. Showed up to say, that he was glad I couldn't lurk, and then went back to lurking.
