Robert stands placidly in a corner, not understanding what these maddened authors are saying, nor where the mysterious voice announcing "votals" is originating from.
"Uh, I mean
Alright, first I'mma UNVOTE since we're out of RVS and I never really had a reason to vote for Granola except I hate those nature valley granola bars because they're such a goddamn brittle and crumby mess. I like granola cereals, though.
Uh, I mean
I never really got Amosyn's justification for voting Donut. The only thing donut has really done so far is unvote at #114 the Akumu vote they made at #55 when we were still in hi-larious in-character RVS.
I'm not gonna say you absolutely need a reason to kill a fella, since the math apparently works out that, unless the accuracy of the town's collective reads change significantly over the course of a night, it's always better to lynch. But if you could break character in a spoiler and explain that, even if it's just "gotta lynch somebody", I'd appreciate it.
It's honestly really hard to read the silly RP stuff we were doing because there's some pretty thick overlap between serious actions and wacky RPing. Taking a look at Eberron's #113, they say a few things, the last two of which I will crudely summarize as "I had a reason but I forgot" and "backpedaling". It's, of course, entirely possible that they did forget. But "I forgot" also works as a catch-all excuse to backpedal if the mob takes note of your vote and wants a reason. It's a means to be disingenuous about your reasoning. I don't think that, at that moment, there was any reasoning for Eberron to actually be disingenuous about, but playing close to your hand is the kind of safe reaction a scum Undercover would be more inclined to take than a townie writer. But mostly this is a gut-flash kinda deal; it just seems like the sorta thing that I would do (and I have done/said similar things) as an inexperienced or rusty mafioso.
Vote: Eberron
Obviously I'm not declaring this with 100% certainty. I'm also looking askance look at both Amosmyn and Donut until somebody starts talking proper words. Or I guess I'll start dissecting your book covers. Those concentric circles look pretty spish.
And just to help people with people trying to keep track of who's agreeing with who, my stance is similar to Palamedes's #121 statement that 'I'm not particularly happy with how old lady eberron handled her naysayers.' My micro-analysis here is counter Schazer's broader philosophy of giving the benefit of the doubt to activity in #140. I'm also sympathetic to Nova's plight, and I wish them a swift recovery.
Uh, I mean"
Entirely baffled by the inexplicable words that flew out of his mouth, Robert collapsed onto the floor, passed out with shock. His eyes were rolled back into his head, and his mouth agape. Somebody should probably set him down properly, or he'll start drooling on the carpet.
"And that's how you jam real mafia talk into your roleplaying, bitches," said Robert's mouth, seemingly moving under its own power.
