MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?

Hi! It's me! The Time Knife!

I'm here to open the first of our festivities!

As you know, this being The Good Place, you are entitled to a number of Good things. One of them is the chance to adopt your Soulmate Pet!

Unfortunately, due to the current circumstances, we do not have enough pets to go around. So we are going to need your help on this.

Until the day closes or the lynch occurs, whichever comes first, you can post ##PetGive and pick another player who you think is worthy of receiving a pet. You may only vote once and you may not vote for yourself. The top two vote recipients will receive their pets!

Residents, you may make your desires as to why you should receive a pet known and post a case for it!

Have fun! And enjoy your continued residency in The Good Place!

Oh and would you look at that, the top of a new page to boot and I'm a mod of this game so I can edit this post to say that!

I think I agree with this one too. Varinn came out of the gate strong, voted Amni, criticized people for sitting on the sidelines, and then just kind of vanished into a puff of smoke.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Important question: Can the pets feel love, and/or pain?

I think I disagree with this, but I'm not quite sure I'm fully getting where you're coming from. You feel like hambeet is setting up Amni to flip town and then berating people who voted him?
I think ham reads like scum coming into a situation with outside knowledge.

Seeing votes on Amni scum immediately want a new angle to avoid looking like they’re taking advantage of what they see as an easy target.

Hambeets wording without a vote really bothers me because it’s just talking negatively without taking a stance. I also think the wording is too strong for the situation if he’s not going to leave a vote. That’s what is scummy about it to me.

Summarizing the Capn Andy stuff with me it goes like this:

Capn Andy voted Tom Tucker who voted LordNad who voted Liger, all due to some variation of the previous vote being opportunistic, so is there an opportunistic disingenuous vote and if so where? That's what it comes down to. LordNad thinks Liger's was, I think LordNad's was, and Andy thinks mine was, and now I think we have someone voting Andy for it too.

Personally I like it because it's getting a lot on the record!

Okay I finished reading.

-the liger votes are misplaced
-the zzyzx case is much better
-the DBD/Nad/Andy/Tom conflagration certainly has happened, itll be more fun to read later when or if one of them dies
-as established, jivjov gets a pass
-yumings case on hambeet is good as well
-I don't have much to say about KK than I did above, but that post still strikes me deeply
-by a metric i don't want to establish clearly, tom/amni/sandwolf have also pinged my radar. this wont and shouldnt affect my vote today, but it might 'tomorrow'. we'll see.

going to doublecheck zzyzzx and hambeet

Varinn:

I mentioned merk because his dumb vote on me was calling my case fake, without addressing the person I was voting. It was just a drive by vote without even mentioning the person I was voting with my case.

That's why I found it suspicious.

au contraire, its more that you've all just dug into the weeds in a way that stops being useful to an observer.

someone's off the cuff remarks are much more telling than the third page of their response

My first case was fine and concise I blame Capn Andy cause he went on this whole thing about how Lord Nad's vote was about Liger's unvote when it WASN'T and I couldn't let that go.
