Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works

[Anguirel]

Quite. Smith for winner!

++SMITH OF WOOTTON MAJOR

Oh, I seem to have voted for Smith to go by accident. What a disaster. Everyone, vote for Smith and you might persuade me to change my vote. How does that sound?

Messy animals, seagulls. 'Nuff said.

Celuin (and others - you know who you are), why not save yourself the time of visiting this thread simply by arranging a standing vote, as follows:

+ + Whichever one littlemanpoet votes for

Well, that would take some of the fun out of come over here to irritate the anti-Smiths.

Besides, I'm perfectly willing to vote differently than LMP...if the attacks on Smith cease.

Well, now that this thread is getting to be more about personal politics than being just fun and games (which I originally thought it was supposed to be), I will simply vote

++Estelyn

off.

Well, Spm, I think that if you (and Ang in this case) are going to continue to vote for someone until they are gone on the basis of "that's the way the game goes" then I don't think you can fault others for piling on other tribespeople to keep Smith from going. After all...that's the way the game goes.

And it's quite often that a leader emerges (in this case, perhaps lmp) that other people rally to to save their favorite. It's to be expected.

Poor Esty...

You don't realise, alas, from the PAST Survivor threads, that this is how it inevitably goes. It is ABOUT the characters, of course, but what makes it FUN... er, or Mirthful... is the reasoning that we come up with. Not, of course, that we want to get rid of characters for that REASON, but because of the reactions it gets.

Really, all this personal assault is a part of the game, and not to be taken seriously. However, if you're easily offended, 'tis best indeed to drop out.

Meanwhile... hmm....

I've often identified with SPM and his anti-popular candidate positions, but he's taken such a liking to getting RID of Smith, that I find it rather more amusing to KEEP someone in this juncture.

Therefore,

As for my no-bandwaggons-but-my-own personal rule... well, I started this bandwaggon yesterday, didn't I?

Apologies to one and all if my style of playing these games has offended anyone. Especially you, Esty. It was not my intention.

My posts are meant entirely in jest, I can assure you and, as Formendacil indicates, these games have recently tended to go this way. I am slightly frustrated by the collaberative effort to save Smith, but in an enjoyable and rather amused way. As Formy accurately identifies, I tend to take an "anti-populist" approach, and so I always tend to end up railing against the majority. For those who have not played these games before, I can understand how my posts may have seemed a bit off. For my part, it is purely part of the game, and not meant personally in any way (I appreciate that lmp has closely associated himself with my nemesis in this particular game, but my Smith votes should not be taken as any reflection on him personally, but rather a prodcut of my anti-populist approach).

I hope that I can tempt Esty back to the thread with an offer not to vote for Smith again ... well not for a few days, at least.

And, to show willing:

- - SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR

+ + MEW

Seagulls! Dirty, messy creatures. As anyone who lives close enough to the sea (which seems to include most of the British Isles, these days) will testify.

I do, however, hope that my vote today, and my agreement to hold off on the Smith votes, will be reciprocated with a more open competition in the next few days.
