California Trilogy: City of Angels - On Camera (Game Over)

[hewitt]

I still think I'm liking the Mother the best, reinforced by the fact that Tabris annoys the hell out of me and I don't understand whatever "logic" he's spewing out.

[VP Baltar]

DEATH awakens from a long nap on one of the church pews. It was a restless, but necessary sleep

Tabris, you sexy lad, I think you have aroused your Evangelion a bit too much in the sense that you believe most anyone inclined to suckle from the Mother is a decepticon.

It is definitely still early in this little farce and even though I agree with you that the evil ones would not be happy about being generally pantsed in the first two rounds, I don't know if they would be willing to risk the lives of two or three members in a single outing.

Let's say for a moment that they had a worst case scenario six members before we arrived at this sanctuary and the littel devil on Mr. Odbody's shoulder turned out not to be a decepticon. Even with all of that, outing three members here would no doubt spell certain disaster for them down the road, as we still have four more decisions left. Maybe if we were one or two decisions down the road, I could see this being the case.

That being said, I believe Mr. Odbody's devil was indeed trying to influence us toward the mother...which makes me believe the Crone is where our best chances lay.

DEATH takes a candle from the nearby alter and turns toward John Locke. He takes the hot wax and begins to rub it into Locke's scalp

There. That'll help the shine. As far as the happenings outside of the church with Mr. Odbody's devil, I think that was a purposeful decision. If they are putting that devil way down in the hole, it was most likely a utilitarian decision.

[StarKiss]

I'm not certain the Crone is the optimal choice. Maybe the villains are indeed playing a trick on us, but if they thought two steps ahead then the crone has more odds of being evil than the mother.

Damn it, I hate uncertainty.

[VP Baltar]

Given the information we have received, the Crone is at worst neutral.

[curiouskarmadog]

still waiting on the new odbody to post before voting.

[Gaspar]

I don't know about you, Locke, but I'm waiting on a green light before voting.

Also, the appointing of this "Elmosaurian" as stuntman is more a sign that he will be lynched, rather than an endorsement of his innocence. The AP did the same thing with "KY Krew" yesterday, and I ran through the most likely reasons for it in detail.

[VP Baltar]

Sorry, given the information we have, the Crone could be bad or good. DEATH had too much vodka last night to remember correctly.

[curiouskarmadog]

not sure how it is a sign he will be lynched, why give a role to someone you plan on ending today?

at any rate, I am mostly waiting on what message pooky brings. I assume not only will he mention what the "others" think, but the stances of those passed.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I hope this change from hot stud NBA basketball star to random old angel is not permanent.

=/

cuz it would totally suck if it was.

the two who died were innocent and now reside with our blessed lord in heaven. Elmo is going to be lynched pretty soon.

[curiouskarmadog]

well shit....

do we have the ok to vote mother?

[VP Baltar]

Yes, what were the opinions on which of these fine ladies to take home?

Like I said, I went over this yesterday. I think you were On Camera, though, so you probably skipped over it. (And yes, I'm posting totally out of character right now. Sue me.)

Two main reasons:
1) By making the lynchee the Stuntman, the AP doesn't have to decide on a "Scene Four" Stuntman until the lynchee's alignment is known. It probably wasn't

as

big a deal when he did it to KY Krew after Talilan stunted him off, but if the AP has any significant doubt of Elmosaurian's alignment, he can wait to name a Stuntman until after he's got that information.

2) The AP gets to hide his identity as much as possible. As people cannot hold multiple jobs at once, the more people who are made Stuntman, the easier it is for the scums to figure out who the AP is. Since the AP is confirmed innocent and must choose a (presumably alignment-ambiguous) replacement, the AP's identity should be as hidden as possible. It's not a big deal to make Elmosaurian a Stuntman because he cannot Stunt again today. (Job description says Stunting can only happen once per Scene, and Pooky has already used Scene Three's stunt.) And this takes away Elmosaurian possibly claiming to be the AP to force a counterclaim.



----------------


Also, we

don't have the okay to vote anything, because we haven't seen a green light.

Why do you keep wanting to push the vote, Mr. Locke? We have a system that works BEAUTIFULLY. They make the lynch, give us a GREEN LIGHT IMAGE, and

THEN

we make our decision. If we vote/Decide early, we might accidentally force a mislynch, which is NOT what any protown player should want. Shut up and mill about. I don't care if you post

"HAY GUIZE, ITS ME, LOCKE! HAY GUIZE, ITS ME, LOCKE! HAY GUIZE, ITS ME, LOCKE! HAY GUIZE, ITS ME, LOCKE!"

every day just to get your 25 word post, but I swear, if you vote before we get our Green Light, I'm going make sure that you get lynched tomorrow under any circumstances.

[GoofballsAndBaloons]

Good observation, Angel. Indeed Mr Locke is really antsy and pushy for us to vote Mother... while fleetingly pretending he might vote Crone.

I remember the defunct Mr JellyBean's arguments that Locke was an evil character of the worse kind. These arguments were convincing, well laid out, and rock solid. Surprise! Mr JellyBean was shot down. I do not trust Locke one bit and I may be a fool, but not big enough a fool to do his evil bidding and allow myself to be lead to a bad choice.

[Thok]

Another useless post from me: I'm roughly 22 hours into my annual Yom Kippur fast.

Godwin wonders why those words came out, but figures they have something to do about that strange concept known as real life and not anything to do with the game.

[curiouskarmadog]

lol, I am not pushing anything..

(rolls eyes)

if I was trying to rush anything I would have voted already...green light, a message from pooky, it is all the same thing (information from the other). How scummy of you to paint it as anything else.

[Gaspar]

Mr. Godwin, are you

sure

you're not evil?

[ShadowLurker]

Tabris, your reasoning that everyone who does not agree with you has evil intentions is getting tiring. In addition, it leads to easy manipulation whenever someone buddies you. Please reevaluate your thinking.

Your point that any evil organization only needs two people to function is flawed, because if such an organization only had two people, they would be severely limited, and would be the worst case evil organization that could still be considered an "evil organization", making any past decisions completely irrelevant.

Also, let's all state our preferences, even if we don't vote explicitly.

Vote Mother, Crone, Maiden

[hewitt]

^^^ ?!?!?!

Soooo that seemed like something we weren't supposed to see and frankly gives us quite a bit of information on what everybody Off-Stage wants to do apparently.

[ShadowLurker]

Kelly covets whatever Count de Morcerf is using

[hewitt]

Oh no no sorry I sort of wandered a little off set on accident and overheard some producers talking.

[VP Baltar]

DEATH, deep in the throes of a mescaline trip, is utterly confused by the Count

[GoofballsAndBaloons]

Tabris awakens from a deep slumber, a slumber that pierced through his impenetrable AT-field as if it were Swiss cheese.

He recalls a dream where some spectators, that aren't part of the play, mistakenly heckled so loud that they were heard as if they were on the stage.

It seems like only a dream now, but during it, it seemed bloody real.

But like all dreams, traces have been erased by the power of Evangelion.

Tabris looks at the spectators. He is filled with a memory that the heckling was that

Crone is the only worthy choice

. "Vote Crone, you stupid retards, there's no other freakin' choice you dumbasses!" before being dragged out of the theater.

Good morning all! Do we have Captain Crunch in the pantry? I need me some sugar.

[VP Baltar]

Count, did you have a similar dream last night? If so, then I'm ready to vote. All we would need is the go ahead from the great beyond.

[curiouskarmadog]

quit rushing....lol
