Regarding against you/ with you...maybe that's a language thing that I - as a non-native - don't understand, but from my perspective saying "I've always had a hard time playing WITH women" sounds a lot worse than the same "against" women. The latter indicates a constellation where we're going head-to-head, while the first option describes a general problem I'd have playing with women. If anything, having a problem playing WITH women would be a mysogenistic statement, and not the other way around. Like as if I said: I'm having a hard time playing basketball against black guys (because they jump higher) vs. I'm having a hard time playing basketball with black guys (because I don't like them).
Okay, this is probably a language thing, then. Let's just say, that the way I heard your comment phrased was that you thought you were playing against me and CW. Ie, that you'd already put us in a pack together because of gender and had developed a "me vs them" mentality.
I can see what you are saying, that
if me and CW are packmates, it might explain why you're having difficulty with the game and with reading us. I know now that this is how you meant it, but at the time I was seriously offended by what appeared to be a case of trying to tar and feather two players with the same brush just because of their gender.
But I ain't changing my vote. I did it under (admittedly, my own personal duress) on Day 2 because my vote on you was wasted in what appeared to be an impending lynch of Calodine. I don't care if this makes me seem stubborn, contrary or wolfish. I think you're a wolf. I think the village is making a massive mistake if they don't lynch you today. I can't put it any more plainly than that.
GODDAMN PEOPLE STOP POSTING WHEN I AM TRYING TO POST!
@ Nipple
You seriously can't see any malicious intent in Sheep's cherry-picking? Even looking back, with the benefit of hindsight? Don't get me wrong, I thought the case on him at the time was 50/50 (hence me sticking with my vote on Adaham) but now that hindsight has come into play, Sheep's behaviour seems blatant.
@ Ativan
I do think it is risky play. Whilst I trust Calodine to vote as he believes is best for the village, the same can't be said about Magorian. Now, this is going to sound really *****y. It probably
is really *****y. But I asked Pilgrim questions on Day 2. I took time to respond to his single feeble post. Then he got replaced, so I never got my answers. I hoped Vieira might clear up my feelings about Pilgrim. They really didn't. Then he got replaced, so I never got to figure out what was going on with him. Now, whilst Mags has made a nice summary of Day 1, he's provided no Day 2 input, no Day 3 input, and has as yet not provided me with a single answer. Despite apparently begging ejnomad to join the game (nomad's own words in this very thread).
I am fed up with people coasting through this game (yeah, you've accused me of coasting, but whatever. At least I'm here, and trying, instead of making up excuses (PS, Adaham, this is
not aimed at you)). Sheep did it on Day 2 and very nearly resulted in the lynch of Calodine. Pilgrim/Vieira/Mags have been coasting and making excuses since the end of Day 1/start of Day 2. So whilst I
do think it would be very telling to leave the vote to Magorian and see where he ends up, I'd rather not risk a no-lynch. But that's your choice, and the other unvoting peoples'. Like I said to Adaham above, I'm not changing.
