Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission - Page 9

I don't care if he stays or goes.
That's why I even said "Dont vote for him yet, anyways".
I just don't want you all to fall under the guidance of Vampyr, especially in the first round.
In the first round, nobody should be swayed, because nothing is apparent.

That is why the vast majority of us voted one-after-another for uber paddler with no reason why. It's just a mass clusterfuck off the bat.

But then in walks Vampyr with your minds as putty in his hands, and he's shaping reasons to get you all under his grasp.

If you listen to him in the first round, what's stopping you from listening to him in the 5th, or 6th?

It's not the fact you're all voting for Swan, it's the fact you're being told to, by Vampyr.

Mmmmk, what should we base our vote on? Dyf said that the narrative isn't important, so we can base it on eachothers actions, which we have had very little time to observe so far, and honestly, based on your defense of Swan, I am leaning towards voting for you...

Vote for whomever you want.
Even if it's me.
Just don't fall under the mind-grasp of listening to someone tell you WHO to vote for this early on.
Especially Vampyr. He is good at manipulating, and if you listen to him in round 1, like I said before, you'll be protecting him the entire way through, which is what he wants.
I dont want to save Swan. It has nothing to do with who you're voting for.
Like I said, it has everything to do with who you're listening to.

Alright, now that Uber has returned, my reason for voting for him is gone.

!retract uber_paddler

Vampyr on the other hand is bugging me. He's somehow convinced others to vote for Swan because to quote some "his theory makes sense" without actually making a point or providing any evidence. Not fooling me. I need a reason to vote for someone specific if I don't vote randomly. I guess I have one now.

!vote Vampyr

Typhoid · 06-25-2008, 11:20 PM

!retract uber_paddler

!vote Vampyr

Swan · 06-25-2008, 11:24 PM

!retract Combine017

Take this Vamp....my pride is gone!

!Vote Vampyr

Typhoid · 06-25-2008, 11:25 PM

Votes are - if I am correct - as follows:

uber_paddler: 5
Swan: 4
Vampyr: 4
The Germanator: 2
Yoda 9864: 1
Prof S: 1

Vampyr · 06-25-2008, 11:29 PM

Well, it looks like what is happening is exactly what I said would happen: we changed votes a few times, and suddenly we've found someone that a certain sect of people are reluctant to vote for.

No one had problems jumping onto bandwagons before, and suddenly a few people do, just like I mentioned in an earlier post.

@Jeepnut: There is my reasoning. If you do not think that this is suspicious, I'd like to know why so that I can adjust my vote accordingly. I'm providing very good logical reasoning, especially for a first round pick.

edit: And one more thing, saying that "nothing is apparent in the first round" is a lie. The crazy people know who each other are, which makes a few things very apparent.

jeepnut · 06-25-2008, 11:26 PM

Wow, these votes sure have been fluctuating over the course of this round.

flunkie44 · 06-25-2008, 11:30 PM

Hmm.

!retract Germy

!vote Swan

Fyacin · 06-25-2008, 11:30 PM

!retract Swan

Gah, now I can't decide who is creeping me out more, Vampyr or Typhoid.

*edit

Or jeepnut! Everyone seems to change after he posts!

manasecret · 06-25-2008, 11:30 PM

As Jeepnut said, now that Sir Uber is participating, the cause is lost for him. So for now, I !retract Uber Paddler.

And I randomly choose, oh, I don't know, !vote Teuthida.

jeepnut · 06-25-2008, 11:33 PM

I don't know about the others, but the reason I'm not voting for Swan is because YOU said we should. You picked him out of thin air and expected the rest of us to jump onboard. Now, your convincing the more gullible ones among us that anyone who doesn't go along with your vote is a loony toon. You have provided no evidence. You've just stated that if we want to prove Swan is innocent, then we should all turn on him.

Yes, I admitted that I picked him out of thin air, just like I picked Uber paddler out of thin air. The only difference is that no one had a problem with Uber Paddler, but for some reason people are hell bent to not vote off Swan.

No one had a problem with Uber because up until just recently, he wasn't even participating. Can't miss someone who doesn't participate. Swan on the other hand is participating and got voted off rather early in the previous game. I wouldn't have any problem voting for him, but it kinda sucks to get voted off in the first round of both games.
