The Syndicate

Arrgh, shitty result. RIP Soneji. Cheerleader putting him over the edge looks really shady, but I don't know how much can be gleaned from that considering the sock. My gut tells me whoever is controlling that account wouldn't double up? I think MM comes out looking the best from this lynch: made valid points in counter of Soneji, voted where his mouth was. I thought llama had a good case, but I hope we hear from him in the aftermath.

Well, I'm gonna go ahead and vote Soneji. I like llama's case, there are tonal and play elements I found in addition to that case that look bad to me, and I don't think we should lynch Made.

Alright, time to post instead of do the work on which I am desperately behind. Hella busy for personal reasons, will not be of much help in the next few days.

Juliets is right: I didn't post anything about Mac himself, I merely randomized among his voters. Not having time to catch up, I made the following logical argument to myself: the odds of lynching mafia are worst on Day 1, Mac was more likely to be good than bad (all else being equal), and at least one blendy mafia would jump on the biggest lynch train. Turns out he was bad, so way to beat the odds!

Llama's case on Soneji seems the most solid out of anything so far. Omitting the lynchee from discussion while questioning the judgment used to lynch him is textbook indirect mafia support. I also don't like Soneji quickly jumping to "You didn't see me defend Mac, did you?" when talking about his distrust of meta. That seemed to me to be ahead of llama's questioning. Doth protest too much. And whoa, Soneji saying "As for a GTH, everyone is bad in my eyes until they flip otherwise" is just a tremendous cop-out of responsibility. Could at least say he didn't have time or just ignore the request altogether. And there's some snarky sarcasm that doesn't read right.

Prisoner comes out best in the interaction with Scotty. Scotty emphasizes "why not," while Prisoners wants to get a solid reason "why." Prisoner also leads a GTH rollcall, which if nothing else generates content.

I also don't really like bea coming in and questioning the votes on me. Like Soneji's posts on meta, I think it's a tangential defense of her own absence.

I feel like Golden is using his movable vote to keep a running commentary on the thread. I see votes on me, juliets, and John Coltrane commented. Missed the actual timing, so not sure how much I can help with analyzing that, but there it is.

Made looks better here than he did last game we played. Helpful as much as he can be, and my gut likes his last few defense posts.

That's about it. Have to vote soon, and will probably go with Soneji unless something big happens in the next half hour.
