Tabris is steeped in sorrow from the harsh critique of his performance, and of the script that does not speak of Evangelion with enough accuracy. Yet, Tabris speaks up, his voice choked with sadness, to Death; for those that are shunned by the living, Death always has welcoming arms.


Those were my thoughts exactly, Death. We can test the lying liars with Crone just the same as we can with Mother. It's so in-your-face obvious.

The explanation that it's just another ploy by the decepticons to make us choose Mother at all costs is very attractive. The decepticons don't seem to mind at all making themselves obv-decepticon, and being stoned to death the next day. Thus they serve poisoned wine in front of the whole town. Later, while the good citizens are punishing the branded decepticons for their shameless misdeeds, the other decepticons are hiding safely in the shadow of the executioners.

Those shadow dwellers are going to make it to the play's end scene, while the rest of the suicidal decepticons are going to burst into flames of their own making.

Kelly rolls her eyes at the Angel. She opens her mouth, but stops short. She surely has something to say, but perhaps cannot articulate it at the moment.


Why has no one noticed that we can state our opinions without putting it to an official vote? If we ever run out of time in our decision, our opinions will take priority!

And do you truly believe our friend Mr. Odbody would've given us a bold-face lie? He does not seem like the type of man to stick his neck out when it may not be necessary.

Perhaps he would lie when the boot is already on his throat. Yes or no? The decepticons are certainly out in force.

CKD kind of beat me to it, but StarKiss's vote annoys me.

HOWEVER, Dram (who made the post/vote) probably didn't know that we are waiting for the Director of Photography (is that still Thesp?) to post a picture of a GREEN LIGHT to tell us that they are ready for us to make our Decision. Until then, nobody should be bolding any votes.

I'm willing to give Dram a waiver, since he just replaced in.

And yeah, CKD, I already noted that ShadowLurker has put down a condorcet-without-vote. However, this seems less egregious than actually saying "can we vote yet?" You actually appealed to us to vote when you should KNOW that we don't have the go-ahead to vote.


Qusetion for DGB and Baltar: What's the point of "Testing if Elmo is lying" if Elmo is going to be lynched anyway? The only reason I would test if he's lying is if I'm considering lynching him on a FUTURE day. However, the Stunting has pretty much assured us that he will be lynched today. It seems stupid to test if he's lying scum. At the end of the scene, we'll know if he was lying scum anyway.He'll be lynched, and we'll have made a decision no matter what.

I don't buy "Let's vote Crone to test if he's lying" as a reason at all. All we care about is whether he's scum, and we will know that soon because he is being lynched as we speak.

DEATH returns to his sketch pad.


O <------The Loop




X <-------Mr. Godwin








X <---------- The Angel




Hint: Locke brought up the idea of voting the mother to test if Odbody was lying. I was pointing out how ridiculous that is, and the fact that voting either proves if he was lying or not.

Ok, well the point is that it wasn't Tabris or I who brought it up, and I think it is a dumb reason for voting one or the other since either is going to prove if he was lying or telling the truth.

The thing is, there shouldn't be any need to "test Elmo"
AT ALL
, because he's going to be dead anyway. Vote based on what you think is most likely to be Good and/or least likely to be Bad.

"Testing Elmo" shouldn't be in anybody's thought process, because he is effectively a corpse.

By the way, elvis_knits will be hydra-ing with me on this account, as of this evening. (Like I said, I'll be away on a business trip all next week, so this way I won't get replaced.) I'm going to try to get into the habit of signing my posts, though I think you'll probably be able to tell who is who based on posting style.

I'm with Death, I was also pointing out how between Mother/Maiden/Crone, it's scummy to push for a particular one to prove that an advocate was lying.

Give it up Gaspar. This line of argument will not improve upon repeating.

Tabris hears himself speak, and thinks he's giving good advice. Good advice that he himself should follow more regularly.

The sudden rush to Crone is fairly disturbing.

Count de Morcerf, DEATH, how certain do you think it is that Odbody was scum, and how likely do you think he was to lie if he was scum? As I said before, there's a big difference between his posts and that of the Scientologist we caught: I can see a scenario where Odbody was playing very poorly but was trying to help us, why KY Krew's comments were contradictory and his actions were blatantly evil.

This is not a sudden rush to the Crone it's been in the makes for quite a while and if you paid any attention at all to anything I've posted you'd notice that I never said anything about Odbody being scum now did I?

Looking at what you've said hewitt, you were favoring mother until a certain "dream" happened (what is that? I hate this sort of role acting that only obfuscates things.) And then you've changed your mind to crone.

So, unless I have some knowledge of what this dream was (which several others have claimed to seen, but I haven't), I can't really see how or why it should affect my decision.

Carrie Fisher magically popped in for a second on accident to share some words of wisdom before being whisked off stage is basically what happened. I heard what she said and so did a couple of other people.

Why should I (or you, or anybody) trust Carrie Fisher to tell us what to do (in my case, add that I don't know what Carrie Fisher said, except it seems to have encouraged you and I guess others to vote Crone)?

More importantly, I wanted to check a name (Stewart Godwin it was) to ask why he suddenly cares (he sure didn't seem to, earlier on) when his decepticon friends are on the road to losing once more, how delicious it is, when I noticed that...

Well dear we got the message, and it's clear that we got the message. Even the crew behind the cameras know we got the message.

Then we get the green light from the lighting guy.

Just like yesterday, the decepticons were quite likely majorly behind the scenes, today, they sure seem to be crowding the stage.
