So she's basically just saying no to my vote?
Well, that's helpful.

It would appear so.

Was there a reason for the vote? It was quite naked.

It was quite naked. It was just an RVS vote to see how she how she reacted.

Is there any reason you chose Him in particular?
What reactions were you expecting?

Also, I just noticed your shiny Azumarill and love it!!! :)

Thank you!

No, there wasn't a real reason. Just that no one had thrown a vote acid's way yet.

Okay, well theory tip for next time is to have some sort of reason, even in RVS. I think you kind of did with the reaction check idea, but you need to then be able to interpret the reaction given to you!

Like, they simply said "nein" to your vote. What reaction would you expect from town? What about scum? Does this fit one of those? If not, do you think the simple shut down is a deliberate non-reaction to hide alignment?

These are all important things to ask yourself when you get the response, and things to consider whe placing the initial vote!

Alright, thanks for the tip!
Building on those ideas, I do think that it is a deliberate attempt to hide alignment. If acid had nothing to hide, she would have said more, wouldn't she? That puts at least one point against her in my book.

So you want to bring the pressure on me, eh? Cool. Just go ahead and start firing off your questions. If someone thinks you've got a case, I'm sure they'll throw a vote on the pile.

Vote Count 1-2

Plato described his Allegory of the Cave in
The Republic.
He had Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank cave wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality. By contrast, a philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners.

But, that reality, too, is not real. The Sun is a light that we cannot look behind in Plato's allegories, so we cannot know what objects and ideas cast shadows from beyond the Sun.

Not defensive, casual. I'm not worried about the vote.

It did come off as quite defensive, if you weren't worried about the vote then why'd you make such a long post (relatively speaking)? Why even post in the first place?

Just an FYI, if you are in ongoing games with anyone in this game, it's best not to refer to it. The rules are very strict on this point. Even "fancy seeing you here" is probably too much.
