DAY THREE (repost)

Posted by nubby May 17 '11, 08:15

The rooster crowed. The hens knew that there was a decent probability that their numbers would be culled yet again. Sure enough, as the hens wandered to the field, they found that Hen Stephen had been eaten by the foxes.

Day Three begins. Eight votes until nightfall.

LIVING: amoxy, Beaker, JaxSean, JenBro, kelly, mafic, mara*, NWbR, TFox, ty97, Dr. Vermin, Will Hunting, znufrii

DEAD (HEN): nubby, ralph wiggum, Guigue, Stephen

DEAD (FOX): NONE

*saved once

- All votes, including foxes. -- nm - nubby May 17, 09:29
Ambush amOxy -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:25
*starts thinking JenBro's hesitancy to vote for the clear choice is a sign we've hit a fox and she doesn't want to vote for him* - Will Hunting May 17, 09:25 3
- In meeting Will I know you're a fox -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:27
- or she's in a meeting and can only check in intermittently... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:27 1
  - Exactly but he threatened by me so trying to throw me under the bus -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:29
amoxy has 6 votes, 2 more to go. It doesn't matter who they're for now, they just need to happen. -- nm - nubby May 17, 09:21 1
- AMBUSH VERMIN. -- nm - mara May 17, 10:01
Who are we going with? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:04
AMBUSH Amxoy. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:52 6
- AMBUSH AMOXY. -- nm - kelly May 17, 09:23
- AMBUSH AMOXY -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 17, 09:17
- AMBUSH AMOXY -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:08
- AMBUSH AMOXY - TFox May 17, 09:07
- AMBUSH AMOXY -- nm - Beaker May 17, 09:06
- I don't like that choice. AMBUSH AMOXY instead. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:54
Okay, so I've backboarded and here are my various thoughts.... - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:43 31
- For simplicity, lets cap the safe list for now at: Bro, NWBR, ty97, Jax. I feel pretty ok about those four. - TFox May 17, 08:48 17
  - I can't figure out what evidence you're using. -- nm - mara May 17, 08:58 3
    - well, we all know you are foxy ;) -- nm - decline May 17, 09:01
    - gut. a sense that their cluelessness/absence from the board was genuine. -- nm - TFox May 17, 09:00
    - Never mind, reading down the board it looks like a combination of gut feeling and posts I missed. -- nm - mara May 17, 09:00
  - It feels self-serving to agree, but it's better than any idea I've got. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 08:51
  - My gut says you're including at least 1 Fox in your 4 safe picks. - Will Hunting May 17, 08:50 10
    - (which?) -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:50 9
      - I'm not at all sold on either Jax or JenBro. - Will Hunting May 17, 08:51 8
        
        Fox -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:02 6
        
        If I was a fox, do you think I'd be this vocal? - Will Hunting May 17, 09:04 4
        
        if you thought you could swing the momentum of the vote by voting early, why not? -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:06 3
        
        Thank you for proclaiming me a leader of the pack - Will Hunting May 17, 09:09 2
        
        none of us *are* hungry, except the foxes... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:09 1
        
        Paralysis of decision is the avoidance of the game - Will Hunting May 17, 09:11
        
        Will not me i mean -- nm - JenBro May 17, 09:02
        
        Jax is the one I feel least good about, but I wouldn't target him next anyway, so *shrug*. - TFox May 17, 08:52
  - agreed. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 08:50
- I'm not convinced on Will -- nm - znufrii May 17, 08:47 12
  - (me either) - JaxSean May 17, 08:58 10
    - I am very suspicious of his casting the first ambush when the hens had generally agreed to discuss strategy first. - TFox May 17, 08:59 9
      - I considered it discussed as well, hence my supporting vote. (I was leaning amoxy anyhow.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 09:07 1
        
        so this just means your easily led, and therefore a hen :) -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:16
      - we don't have enough votes to pull it off right now unless a few more players are lurking around and not saying anything. - znufrii May 17, 09:06 3
        
        next round perhaps. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:08 2
        
        (next round, i was thinking maybe "gun to your head, name one person you're sure is a fox".) -- nm - TFox May 17, 09:09 1
        
        we can see how that plays out, sure... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 09:11
      - We did discuss, at this point, every part of the discussion is "I think he's okay." - Will Hunting May 17, 09:02 2
        
        but a discussion of "should we vote amoxy" is more in line with the thread than a vote, which generates momentum for more votes, considered or no. - TFox May 17, 09:04 1
        
        If we ask who we're voting...we get nothing of note. - Will Hunting May 17, 09:06
  - but other than that, do we just go through the list of suspects alphabetically? - znufrii May 17, 08:49
Reminder: please vote using all caps in the subject line. -- nm - nubby May 17, 08:42 2
- OKAY - Epiphany May 17, 08:47 1
  - KTHXBAI! - nubby May 17, 08:47

- It's a nubby thing -- nm - oblique May 17, 08:37 1
  - nuttin but a nubby thing baby. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 08:37
hi Gang! I'll be watching from my Iphone surrepticiously as I attend a Chamber Board meeting - hopefully I don't miss the chance to vote! - JenBro May 17, 08:23 1
- You can start voting now if you want. We're in Day 3. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:23
does anyone want to try and convince me that amoxy is not a fox? -- nm - znufrii May 17, 08:18 20
- rawrr... he's always a fox in my book. -- nm - Mop (208 lbs) May 17, 08:33 1
  - word -- nm - Epiphany May 17, 08:49
- imo, before we go there, can we maybe agree on a short list of likely hens? - TFox May 17, 08:20 16
  - but he posted ... - zork May 17, 08:45 2
    - Yes. I'm operating and basing my assumptions around that post. I'm assuming random selection. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 09:14
    - huh, i missed that. (i'm still ok with our 4 for now, even if that's true, i think.) -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:49
  - This sounds great, but I have no idea how to do it? It seems we have no information. (other than nubby is the devil) -- nm - ty97 May 17, 08:24 2
    - i'm literally suggesting gut. - TFox May 17, 08:29 1
      - Okay, then I'm with you on JenBro being for hen no explainable reason other than it feels like she is. - ty97 May 17, 08:34
  - fair enough, who've you got? - znufrii May 17, 08:22 9
    - I'm good with that list (except, no offense, I'm not 100% sure I want you on it yet). - TFox May 17, 08:27 8
      - I'm totally a hen, but truthfully, what a spectacular cover my story would have been for a fox, right? - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:30 2
        
        see, i say definitely hen, because we sort of posted about this last night, and i don't think you read it. -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:30 1
        
        Kicking myself now for not logging in last night. (Was busy not buying a house.) *off to back board* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:31
      - fair enough - znufrii May 17, 08:29 4
        
        yeah, i agree with this for now. -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:29 3
        
        okay -- nm - znufrii May 17, 08:41 2
        
        sfek - znufrii May 17, 08:42 1
        
        So who to ambush? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 08:53
- age catches up with us all -- nm - Roger More May 17, 08:19
repost of full hen/fox rules for easy reference: - TFox May 17, 08:17 [Backboard] 1
- agreed. -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 08:19
Shouldn't it be 7 votes until nightfall? (13 players / 2 = 6.5, 7 would be 50% + 1) -- nm - Guigue May 17, 08:17 3
- Re: using Facebook, there are a couple of players that don't have access to Facebook during the day. Otherwise it'd be a great idea. -- nm - nubby May 17, 08:19 1
  - Yeah I know. Some of my friends don't have much access either but I decided to make it a 2 day "day"-1 day "night" cycle - Guigue May 17, 08:29
- It's not half plus 0.5, it's half plus one. Round up. - nubby May 17, 08:18
Let's keep this self-contained here; even after the board rolls. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:16 10
- I am not in on it, but I find it entertaining. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 08:39
- For what it's worth, I'm enjoying watching it play out, even if I'm not in the game. -- nm - Kim Pine May 17, 08:17 8
  - it doesn't bother me either. it's going to be short-lived, so it's all good. -- nm - Andie May 17, 08:21 2
    - until we decide to make it a weekly occurance, like our poker games - znufrii May 17, 08:22
    - "Next season on Fox&Hen!!!" -- nm - nubby probst May 17, 08:22
  - me too - it's glorious -- nm - Epiphany May 17, 08:18 4
    - glorious? - groiny May 17, 08:21 3
      - Glorious! Glorious! Glorious! - Epiphany May 17, 08:25 2
        
        get thee to Myrtle, and I will make you scream even more. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 08:26 1
        
        *shrieks* -- nm - Epiphany May 17, 08:51
