The Syndicate

Voted 3.

Indeed. Sorry to see you go so soon bird :/

Mmmm Kay

Are right. Not remember right.

Fucking phone.

'Bout #*&$@ING time!

For the record I would have been the second vote for nutella. I am not voting there because SD is there
I'm ready for a change of pace. I hope you'remember right Epi. But I take full responsibility for my vote either way.

LAME INTERNET IS LAME!!!! I've tried voting 4 times now. Let's see of the 5th time works!

Me too.

But let's face it. I have a tendency to go after bird regardless of who else is doing it

RIP Everyone
Welcome back Epi

I find myself agreeing with SD again. I may vote bwt today. I'm always up for a birdie lynch

Welcome back all! Going with 5 this time.

That's why I voted with SD. I trust her. For once

This. Seeing as how Boomslang/bwt is not lynchable today. I'm putting my vote here as well because of reasons I've already stated plus Wilgy's statements.

Vote registered for Llama

Anyway, Been juggling work and catching up. I agree with both of these posts and will be voting llama for the time being. I will try to check back in later before the lynch.

I don't understand, was the highlighted supposed to be baddie?

Yeeaaaah. I'm pretty sure it read that the baddies wouldn't be recruiting anymore after that, and that the civvies would only be recruiting for non-btsc teammates going forward.

Whelp, going with 2 again.

Fwiw, I don't blame you, Rico. I voted for bird for my own reasons.

Voting position 2.

Sorry bwt. I was wrong

Voted the birdman. Cuz I said I would

How so?

I can't properly answer either of these questions without revealing my role, etc. so suffice to say that I'm comfortable voting for Position 2.

I found timmer's role guys:

Ubzargan Unnihilator - Enemy of Uzbekistan

Position 1- Give Ubzargan an anal prolapse that makes him super embarrassed
Position 2- Give Ubzargan a 'Goochi-Goochi-Goo" which makes him laugh uncontrollably in thread
Position 3- Give Ubzargan an horrific STD based strictly on the plot of 'It Follows'
Position 4- Give Ubzargan a dank hipster alarm clock but remotely turn off his alarms at night so he misses an important meeting
Position 5- Give Ubzargan a bath. He hates baths!

Weird that you like position 2 out of those...I just wanna know what his Epic Challenge is.

A wild Ublaragon has appeared. Laughing maniacally.

I think I will flee.

Nah. You should master ball that SoB.

Glad to see attention coming back to BWT. He was my original suspicion and I haven't forgotten about him. He fell off the radar after receiving majority vote way too easily for my liking. Sooo... Changing my vote to BWT.

Uuuhh. voting syn again now before anymore day/night flippity shit happens.

I think I need a wilgy. :cough:

That was supposed to be : parrot : obviously.

I think I've changed my vote 3 times now. I want it to be worth something but I also don't want to vote a potentially silenced player. I've been in those shoes before. voted synonym. This is a sloppy :parrot: vote but I've been sick for 2 days now.

Voted 3. Now for an attempt at catching.

I'm sorry guys. I'm bowing out of this day with a self vote. My reason is I haven't been around for any of the day's discussion because work has been so crazy this week aND I juse need to relax tonight. But I hope to be in it as much as time allows tomorrow and on. And this isn't in OT green because it's explaining my vote

G'bye TB

Month end close this week. So busy
I really apologize for my absence, but I'm going to vote for 5 now before I forget this and anything else.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Devin, why do you suppose your Golden and Sorsha votes would have been risky as a baddie?

Because at the time of each of my votes I broke a tie between 2 vote-getters. If the people I voted were to be lynched and flipped civ, I would probably be the first person up for questioning. Doesn't mean that I regret either of my votes, though. Just means that it wouldn't have been a very smart or strategic thing for baddie Devin to do.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I just wanted to say that I've changed my mind and asked to be replaced, despite how amazing this game really is, and how long I've been looking forward to it. I will continue playing if LC and BR don't have a replacement or there's someone else who actually needs the replacement (I'd rather give it to someone else before myself), but otherwise it's clearly best if I deal with my own stress outside of the thread and find a new less emotionally stressful hobby for the current duration and for the foreseeable future while I juggle teaching for the first time, my PhD class workload, and trying to figure out my dissertation, among other things. I hope all of you will understand. I apologize again for my behavior not only in this game that was distinctly un-fun, but for anything I've done to make anyone else's game un-fun in previous games.

If I'm going to do my best to stay in this and participate when I can, you're going to stay in this and not be a nub as often as possible m'kay?

Wow, I did not play many of those, but I played a couple (and modded several) and I don't remember her at all, really. I thought this was the first game I had played with her. I am so embarassed

This is the first game I've played with her and even I knew she wasn't new

I think some baddies had other ideas tonight. unfurl literally had 0 votes in the poll, so someone must have really wanted to save you.

Speaking of, how nice to you to drop in moments after you aren't lynched after having been gone for 3/4 of Day 4!

Im sorry, i was working overtime had no computer access! i wanted to come back before poll closed ,but didnt get time ><

and whoever saved me, you have my thanks, nutella was right the mods didnt make a mistake. i kind of dont expect to live another night though, 10 votes man... sheeeesh. and RIP unfurl, you didn't deserve to die

my biggest suspect right now is Devin,based on his voting patterns and also the vagueness of his posts, which MP made a good case on.

Yeah I'm voting for you next. Hope this is vague enough and adds to my suspicious voting pattern for you
Also, MP'S good case on me was just quoting and commenting on all of my posts to get a response out of me. Not totally a case

MovingPictures07 wrote:I almost feel compelled to move my vote to Boomslang after conducting my ISO on Devin, since it's clear to me that Devin wants Boomslang alive, but I need to read Jay's interaction first. Going to do that right now. Sorry, I'll comment on any other posts made while I was ISOing Devin after the lynch.

Okay, the rest of your ISO on me is regarding my lack of original content contributed to this game. You know why that is so I'm not apologizing for it anymore. However, I'm glad it's not causing you to go easy on me
So let me put it this way, if I'm a baddie mcbadderson why would I have voted for Golden and then Sorsha consecutively? Those appear to be the 2 riskiest moves I could have made so far this game. Pulling out the metta, I can tell you that strategically Girder me would have been more careful about where my votes go. WIFOMY yes, but that's my opinion.
As for wanting Boomslang alive, that's a very strong way to put it. Rather, I just feel like I can trust him right now, the same way I feel I can trust you right now. I have positive vibes from you both sounding sincere to me. That's it.

Voting position 4 before I forget. Now going back to look at the rest of MP'S post.

@MP I'm going through your ISO for me right now you really do care!
Alright: Some of my short explanations I assumed were clear enough but I'll go through this and try to clarify. still gonna be brief because I'm painting my new house
BWT: He is still on my mind for Day 1. You hosted Bioshock so I assumed you of all people would understand that metta. BWTs behavior, the more I thought about it, felt identical to his behavior then. We called him out for it then and lynched a baddie Day 1.
My agreement with SD on the LMSers was more out frustration than anything else. I thought it was quite clear that this was/was going to become very quickly a good vs evil game. I did not site any names because you would have known who was saying thus is LMS if you had been reading. But there is a lot to sift through. I ended up voting for bwt, instead because I felt I had an actual suspicion then. As for not mentioning him since then, I'm glad you bring this up because he has still been on my mind. Does anyone else find it odd that he walked away from a majority vote (after the day had ended, granted) unscathed and not receiving much attention since then? Because I wouldn't mind tossing my vote his way again.

Of course I helped you out. Like I said, I'm seeing normal frustrated MP, and you haven't given me any reason not to trust you yet.

I have to apologize to Golden. My reasons for voting for him were petty and out of frustration. I knew your bullsuit comment was serious, MP, and you were right. I just wanted to give you a bullsuit response because it's who I am

Getting yelled at for not painting! Be back to respond to the rest!

Sorsha wrote:Thats a good question Wilgy.. was it a frame or was it the result of a redirect (Ahriman), target switch (Master of Ancient Arts), switching three roles powers (Chaos Dancer) or a repel of kill to the Magnetarch?

Do you think Golden was framed Wigly? And why did you vote for me? Also, what are your thoughts on the day ending early and no night?

Also, good dance around my question here, I feel like you slipped though. If Epig's death was simply a frame, I think you would be pursuing those who were going after him. I also think you wouldn't have voted Tiny when the votes were so stacked on Golden. You rose the question of if it could be a redirect. The only peole that can answer that question are the people that cast the kill and the person who caused the redirect. Which one are you Sorsha?

This is the one. I found Sorsha's response to Wilgy's unquoted question very odd, and totally agree with his response to her.

Sorry for the lack of original thought here. I have somewhere to be very soon.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Sorsha, I was actually going to pull some quotes, but it seems Scotty has beaten me to the punch!

In short, I suspect you heavily for your lack of activity (though I understand the RL reasons for early on), and then mostly your behavior surrounding Golden. It's very WIFOMy, soft defending him, and perfect for someone wanting to take advantage of Golden but still sitting in the sidelines.

Yup. I was planning to change my vote to Sorsha and just did. Scotty has some compelling arguments in his mega post. But it was a Wilgy post that made me want to vote for Sorsha to begin with. Let me see if I can find it.

Linki: mega post number 2.

I agree. Boomslang will not be getting my vote.

Placeholder placed

Wording corrections:

Scotty wrote:He says that Golden has been acting emotionally manipulative all game, and no one spurred that on. You say "no one spurred that on." I said no one "forced him." Huge difference. Obviously it was in response to someone. But he could have taken a better approach. Plus Golden had votes on him before self-voting, which looked like a more suspicious situation. Yup

Devin hasn't offered much to the party so far, and his explanation for the vote is a very simple one. Also very lazy.

"Lazy?" Psh. Try busy.

Scotty wrote:Hope to finish this up tomorrow with Boom, who I think just voted out of survival' sake (which in and of itself is funny because he voted himself as a joke and look where it got him)

I would have done the same in his shoes.

Also, Golden had quite a bit more votes before voting for himself on 2 separate occasions during this day phase. That alone makes me feel great about my vote.

Because it's bullsuit.

REASONS:

Golden wrote:Thank you, Lorab. No-one should feel they are obligated to give me a pass for a day, but my self-vote definitely came from a place of feeling helpless because it felt like I already had a whole bundle of guaranteed votes plus I wasn't going to be around to defend.

Plus, I've realised that I can turn this around by actually catching Azura, and my lynch is not necessarily inevitable, so now that's what I'm focussed on. If its someone like rey, and they are lynched and flip, it would then be obvious it isn't me killing epi.

Golden wrote:I would ask those who are less inclined to feel absolutely certain of me, like lorab and timmer, to consider giving me a pass today given I won't be around a whole lot more for robust conversation and defence. I ask this because I get the strong sense that (because I won't be around) I'm going to be the easy location for drive by votes at end of day.

It's ultimately up to you guys, but if you really want to lynch me more on a hunch or being the 'best option' than anything else, I'd really like if it can be on a day where I can have proper conversation around it, more than I'll be able to today.

Are you shitting me, Golden? So...give you a pass and lynch me instead...is that it?

For fuck's sake, man.

Actually, everyone please take Golden's advice and give him a pass because he isn't going to be around to defend himself anymore than he already is.

Seriously, lynch me. I really don't think that I was ready to come back to mafia yet...especially not in such a large game. I think I probably should have started with a small game. I'm getting way too worked up and seeing this post has really grated on my nerves.

Vote: reywaS and I urge the rest of you to do the same.

^^^ Focus on the Golden quote here.

Agreed. Voting Golden He is the subject/cause of 90% of my catch up.
