Aber, warum? I mean, that would probably give HABIT a reason to mass-murder us, but judging from the last trial, he could have easily done that already?

I edited the first post with the new stuff, so yeah.

Isn't that only to make us really speculative and wildly irrational? Just remember that he called this situation "The Prisoner's Dilemma" Here's the link to the basic concept that HABIT refers to for primarily rhetorical purposes:

The Prisoner's Dilemma

EDIT: Also, if we do have one person volunteer to be the Runt of the litter, than I think that does more good than if we just vote people to be the runt. Cooperation is key here, as we need to cooperate to prevent as much conflict as possible between members.

Seconded. We have to stick together.

Hey, this is Rabbit #115. I agree with the idea of everyone voting for a volunteer runt; even if that idea falls through, we really should avoid going for an unknown user as the runt, because they might be important and we need to be able to contact them easily.

THIS. voting for an unknown number as the runt may be easier on the conscience, but what if it turns out they have to do something after all? we'd be fucked. bless his heart, #102, for volunteering as runt. we know he posts here and we can get in contact should this trial go more bonkers than it already has.

Not sure if you guys have seen yet, but Rabbit #100 has been fairly talkative in the email discussion about the voting, so he can be taken off the unknown list, I believe. Still, I say we vote for #102, bless his heart for volunteering indeed, as runt; even if I feel bad about it, at least it's not someone we can't contact if needed or who'll be mad about being voted as runt.

#143 here.
I don't have a whole lot to contribute at this point, but I'm chiming in to let you guys know I'm not an unknown.

#114 - I ain't dead
My 2 cents

This is Rabbit 114, checking in so I don't get voted out simply for maintaining dignified silence.

One thought on the Leader: maybe we should try for someone who is over 18? If the leader gets any special tasks, that might be an advantage.

I don't particularly care about being the Leader, but don't want to be Runt.

I'm awake!

I think that the volunteer runt is still a good idea, and we already have a volunteer, so there's no need for any of the unknown numbers in the OP to worry if we're sticking with this plan. As far as the "only people with votes will get to continue" idea, that doesn't make a lot of sense - he told us to coordinate, which means we're supposed to organize it so that we generally agree with one another and only a few people get votes. HABIT's tricky, but not like that. I don't think he wants to eliminate all of us on part 1 of the second trial.

So, who are we voting for as far as the leader goes? Does anyone have any new nominations? I think we just have TheNightmareComplex and I guess #110 from the e-mails.

Okay, I've edited the post removing those numbers and added #100 as a leader.
If we're going to go with an actual person as the runt, should we go with flamewarriorlee? I mean he did volunteer for the job.

Though, that still leaves the leader...

Rabbit #120 checking in, I'm a long time lurker over at SA and wasn't planning on breaking my own silence but it seems a silly thing to be possible voted out on, so here I am. No real ideas for leader, though I do like 114's idea of it being someone 18 or over.[/code]

I'd vote for TheNightmareComplex if those two are our only nominees thus far. We only have until Friday afternoon, so I'd rather send my response in early.

Rabbit 146 here. These damn forums update so fast, I've completely given up on trying to read them. I don't want to be the leader, just posting here so I don't get runt'd.
