The Syndicate

If he does kill me as he's desperately hinting at, you should be alright. Kill BDH and suspect Russ.

I've been setting him up as a sham teammate for me for days.

If we pull this off, we win the whole damn thing.

Ironically, this'll be the only time a baddie is ever lynched.

HE'S GONNA KILL SOMEONE AT THE END OF DAY

I WOULD BE FLABBERGASTED IF IT'S NOT YOU OR ME

I'm also gonna use my Priceless Coin on Epi to make him toss a vote your way tomorrow. That way we have a guaranteed vote tomorrow.

Lassiter has hooked you up to his polygraph. You must answer the following five questions. The only catch it that you must lie about at least two of your answers. Here are the questions:

1) Have you killed anyone? No (Not a lie)
2) At any point in the game have you had BTSC? No (Lie)
3) Do you have my cup of coffee? No (Not a lie)
4) If role checked, will you appear as bad? No (Lie)
5) Do you have an active night power? No (Not a lie)

Please return this to me by the end of the night if you could.

Does this look good to you BWT? I think I should be able to pass scot-free even if BDH knows about the two lies, especially if he thinks that I'm Pierre.

So, accepting that Epi is Yin and BDH is Lassie, we're left with Timmer, Russ 2.0, and Elo.

One is Epi's teammate, and someone who we desperately need out if we want to win this game.

One is Pierre Desperaux who needs to simply survive to the end to win.

One is Henry Spencer, one of two civilians left.

I'm leaning towards Russ being Henry, simply because I don't see Epi's teammate going after him like that. Timmer just doesn't fit the role of Pierre to me, he's been too out there. Elo, however, seems exactly how I'd play if I was a "win with anyone" independent.

Timmer, meanwhile, looking through his posts, has remained mostly quiet on Epi, while attacking me and hinting that he'd be open to lynching Russ. Looking through all three player's posts, he's who I think is the most likely to be Epi's teammate, and who I'm gonna try and kill tonight, barring any crazy happenstances.

Also I got this:

Does Lassie know that I'm gonna lie about two questions? And would I qualify as having killed someone because of tonight's NK? How does that timing work?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Jack Atwater – May only use the kill if (Secrets) he currently is one of the top three posters during the preceding day period.

Which won't retroactively affect anything anyway since you didn't meet that criteria until now. And no one else but you two will ever know.

So you have the kill tonight.

Cheers!

I think with this NK, we have to try and get out Yang. We tried NK'ing Epi I think Night 3, but the kill failed. If I had to guess, I think it was because he's Yin. BDH is pretty much confirmed as Lassie, so he's not gonna be Yang.

That means the three candidates are, if we assume Epi is Yang: Elohcin, Russ 2.0, and Timmer.

Of those 4, Elo strikes me as the most likely, but I could also see a case for Timmer. The one thing I can't get past is the sheer improbability of Elo and Epi both being put into a serial killer duo. That's kind of too perfect.

Unfortunately, no, there are still 3 living players above you in total posts: Epignosis, birdwithteeth11, and BigDamnHero in that order. If you click the red number under REPLIES for the Psych thread here, you can see a running tally of everyone's in-thread post counts.

I thought it was top three posters that phase?

I made the top three posters, right?

Even though it directly contradicts everything I say in the thread, I think Russ has to go today in order to secure us a good position in the future. Him flipping civ would be the nail in Epi's coffin, and would make me seem much more civ.

*poster not vote getter

since no one's gonna be able to vote for you, I'll need to try and be the third top vote getter behind Russ and Epi

I'm thinking we try for sig again. He's obviously either Shawn or Yang, and either would be good for us to eliminate at this point. Yes, I'll take some heat if he flips civ, but the reward's too great.

Hopefully, any protection would be directed at BDH/Lassie who I feel we can control.

Do you see Epi as possibly being Yin?

lol at Epig not moving his vote and giving us a kill

Well shit.

I honestly didn't mean for my "blink twice" post to lead to this.

We've just caught a complete lack of breaks this game, haven't we?

What about this strategy:

I'll come up with a weak case against BWT, and begin voting for him in the Day polls. Hopefully, I have enough shade so that no one will actually take me seriously. This will both ensure we always have an NK (although we've yet to actually have one go through) and put some distance inbetween us.

BWT, did you send a kill in?

Also ignore the first part of that last post. I thought Night 4 had ended for some reason. So our kill is still good.

I'd go with Epi out of those two, because Russ 2.0 still has some heat at this point.

At the same time, Epi just posted that he's sure you aren't a Crooked Cop, so he could be someone worth keeping around, if only to protect you.

Elo and BDH are two others who keep popping up in my head. What are your thoughts on them?

birdwithteeth11 wrote:I'm going to assume you used the coin on Russ and gave me a kill for tonight.

So now that that will happen, who do you all think we should kill? I'm kind of leaning towards sig personally. If he's civ, we remove the other main character from the show who can stop Yin/Yang from killing. And if he's one of Yin/Yang, we eliminate half of the rival faction.

Any other ideas for good targets?

I actually didn't use the coin on Russ. I guess we just got lucky for once.

We already tried to NK sig once before and came up with nothing. In fact, that's why I'm so gung-ho about trying to push his lynch. There's a very good chance of him being Shawn, so holding off on him seems smart.

Looking at high posters/skilled players who haven't really drawed much heat or are connected to us, I can see a few peeps.

Epi, BDH, Quin, Sokoth, Elo, and Lorab all come to mind for me as candidates.

I just got a PM from MP saying that I have my Priceless Coin again. So now we have that in our back pockets for when things get dire.

My Role wrote:The item you will begin with is the Priceless Coin: Allows the player who uses the item to control another player’s subsequent day vote. If you elect to use this item, you may do so during any night phase.

The item that is intended for you is the Evidence Log. You will benefit from acquiring this item.

Obviously, I don't have the Coin anymore, it was taken after my arrest.

I think it's a good idea to pool our item pools so that we can have a variety of options whenever we're between a rock and a hard place.

can we discuss our items?

Also, whoever Marlowe is, they haven't popped their head into the chatroom yet. Just radio silence in there.

Someone somewhere -I don't care who- needs to vote for BWT today.

Otherwise we have no kill.

I guess we're gonna go with Sig. You want me to send the kill in, MM?

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Are you guys ok with sending my kill in? I'm fine with sig if you are.

That seems to be the best choice to me, but I'd like to hear from BWT, who hasn't popped his beak in this thread yet.

Hey MetalMarsh! Looks like we've finally managed to get a big shiny NK. As far as candidates, I'm thinking sig. I'm still not convinced he isn't Yang, and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I think our biggest problem will be backlash against MM after Scotty flips civ/indie.
