Lady K

I'm just curious here, when can Lloyd speak? And, Mr. Speaker, could you inform the rest of us when you use that power, instead of after I have called them out for being quiet? I'm also curious as to why you would take away Lloyd's vote, silence him for 24hrs because you don't trust him, and then vote for Pierce based on bad vibes? Vote: Lloyd Spalding (Lego Spy) His quick change of vote after the majority came in on the first lynch choice, poor voting format that resulted in abstaining just seems scummy to me. I really want to here what he has to say to defend himself.

We really don't have any solid leads at this point. It sounds like we are in general agreement that the vig photographed Bryant last night and the scum photographer was probably blocked. Everyone should be watching everyone else. The loyal investigator is the only one who can semi-trust those he/she has investigated. You keep suspecting me because of basic fluff on day 1, really? You also haven't answered my questions in my previous post. Lloyd also has not commented at this point. Suspicious?

I too believe that Rep Laughlin was a possibly a vig photograph vs. a scum photograph. He hasn't posted much, other than to cast a vote (with little explanation) and then disappears, which looks scummy. It seems to me scum would benefit more by keeping him around as he wasn't contributing. Both Rep. Hatley and Spalding voting patterns seem suspicious. Rep. Hatley voted Day 1 for the second choice for impeachment vs. the first, even though he could have been the deciding vote that day he chose not to. Why? On Day 2 he jumped on the bandwagon after the final impeachment vote came in. Why? Rep Spalding voted Day 1 near the end of the majority and then on Day 2 he voted for Rep Hatley then pulls his vote and trys (in poor format) to vote for Rep. Palacios even though the majority had been reached. Why? Could they both be scum? Could they be working together? No accusations here, just lots of questions. Things we might want to consider for today.

Wow! I love the colors together on this. The details are wonderful.

Happy New Years Eve! I wonder what Mafia would be like tonight, after everyone has had several drinks?

This is really cute! I love the round window. I love the minifigs you chose with their sweets. Nice interior details too.

Nicely done. I really like the way the lights add just the right touch.

As others have stated, a Day 1 lynch almost always is an innocent townie. It really can't be avoided. With that and the night 1 actions of scum and the vig it's not unusual to lose more than one townie, so a no lynch choice won't keep our town numbers up. We all know the dangers of bandwagoning, it's a risk. With a 6-4 vote now for Palacios-Hatley, only 2 votes needed for a lynch. I will keep my vote where it is due to the fact that Hatley is at least participating more. I will still watch Hatley, Laughlin, and Benedict. My apologies, I believe we are now at 8 for Palacios. I was posting when the others came in.

A very beautiful example of asian style. I really love the courtyard where the training is taking place. The blue roofs give a nice peaceful feel as does the waterfall and trees.

Well, I have waited now for several hours and no post from Rep Jacob Palacios. His last post was well over 24hrs ago. So here is my vote. Vote: Jacob Palacios (JackJonespaw)

I agree that Jacob is our best lynch candidate for today. I will wait to cast my vote to see if he has anything more to say in his defense. Rep. Benedict, Hatley, and Laughlin are still on my scum list and I will be keeping a close eye on them. As to our speaker, I believe he could be loyal (or scum based on previous experience) however I will agree with Rep Rutherford in that this newly revealed power should be more carefully used.

Interesting. You have been the most vocal by one more post than me. With this post I will now have the same number as you. Voting for me for a plethora of reasons? I could retaliate with a vote for you because you are now high up on my suspicious list, but at this point that would just be revenge voting. There are others to consider that are also high up on my scum list. I agree that Jacob, for reasons already stated is very suspicious. Gerald is also on that list for his response to Winnifred's poke at him, overly defensive and initial revenge vote. And Bryant Laughlin still hasn't responded. I have also just noted that Molly Callaghan hasn't even posted once today. Molly, care to share any thoughts with us?

Here is my explanation, again, for those of you still questioning me. How can I change my vote after I went to bed? See above. I agree. Winnifred may have been the victim of our vig due to those being suspicious of her. I already explained my fluff, which was no more than others fluff. What did you want me to do, make baseless accusations? Argue with other players? Winnifred poked at you and you got very defensive. Maybe you are the one we should watch today. I had nothing useful to contribute. I am not twisting your words around. But you are sure trying to keep attention of yourself. Any reason for that? Already explained before and above.

I am sorry for my wasted vote. I really, really had a worse feeling about Bryant than Carol. I assumed we had a lynch and all would vote. I felt we needed to have a vote on him. I had no idea we would actually have three people abstain from voting and two that refused to cast the final vote. I had retired for the evening by the time the voting had ended so I could not switch my vote.

How could you possibly know who photographed who unless you had inside knowledge. Voting patterns are always important and should be looked at carefully. You started the votes against me and I consider that, and the fact you are trying to throw suspicions on me again, as worth watching you very carefully. And I did state yesterday my reasons for voting for who I did.

There is always very little to contribute on Day 1. I said required fluff and was deemed suspicious for it, rather than say more fluff or restating, I simply kept quiet till I had something worthy to say. As for Day 2, look to the voting pattern. I had suspicions on Rep Laughlin more so than Rep Nottingham so I kept my vote on him. He was the first to vote for Rep Nottingham and then said nothing after. There were others that posted fluff or fewer posts than me, we should see what they have to say. Would you care to contribute something meaningful?

Well, this is depressing! Three of our own, how is that even possible?

*drinking tea and coffee all day* Soon I'll have to switch to something stronger to help with the waiting............

Very nice MOC's! Thanks for posting this. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a truly loving gift from your mother! She did a fantastic job with it! Your MOC's look great. I'll echo the others on that beautiful ship.

I love this! The color combination is fantastic. The overall design is smooth and classy.

Very nice! I really like the back wheel design. Great way to use that seed piece.

Well I see tech difficulties are no excuse for lack of posting after two fluffy in character posts. As for my defense, I told the truth about my delays in posting. As for pointing out low post counts, I was merely stating that others besides me had offered very little as well. I only posted two fluffy posts so I don't see what everyone is getting at here. As for offering new information, there is none. It's Day one, there is nothing but finger pointing to go on. I will stand by on my suspicions on Rep Laughlin, who was the first to vote for Rep Nottingham and hasn't said anything else since. Yes we need a lynch day one so I will change my vote if needed. Day two will give us more to go on.

You are correct in your statement that myself for speaker was in the best interest for myself and town as I'm the only one I can trust this early in the game. And I'm very interested in voting. I have had major issues with my iPad and am now on my laptop so sorry to all for the delay. In my catch up reading and note taking some interesting things have come up. Please see the following: At this point I only have three posts. And so do you Rep. Benedict! Your seriously voting for me? Fluff for two posts was only natural for the beginning of the day. What about you? Where is your real contributions? Rep Karchevsky the hour to vote is not late yet. I have been reading posts carefully to make the best decision I can on who to vote out as Octan scum. What other evidence against me do you have? Rep. Hatley, really, joining a bandwagon against me with no evidence of your own? Useless? Really? And how have I been useless? If you check the post count you will see others with the same or lower post count than me. So how exactly am I more useless than them? As for those with low counts: Representatives Laughlin, Palacios have only two posts. Spalding,Benedict, and myself prior to this post only have three posts. I will vote for Rep. Laughlin based on the fact that for only two posts one was to cast the first vote for Rep Nottingham. So where has he been since? Vote: Bryant Laughlin (Brickelodeon) [\b] Sorry, laptop operator issues. Vote: Bryant Laughlin (Brickelodeon) See my previous posts for reasoning.

Well the day is getting off to a great start. A new speaker who may or may not be in our best interest, finger pointing, revenge voting and unvoting, voting with no reasons......just another happy day in assembly.
