The Syndicate

Oh wow, I thought the lynch ended an hour later. RIP Leech, and sorry I tried to vote for you!

Well, Vomp's self vote thickens the plot even more. I feel like there's some convoluted defense of Leech going on here, so I'm going to go ahed and *vote Leech*. How he comes back will give us an idea of Vomp's alignment.

Leech's defense does help to an extent, but I'm still looking at him. INH doesn't strike me as suspect right now, and DH I never have a read on. I'll be back in awhile to make my final decision, but I'm still leaning Leech or, less likely, Vomp.

AND I just want to mention that Illy was my team leader in my very first Mafia game, so I'm glad to be playing with her again!

I think INH's attempt to get the requirement over quickly was quite understandable, I thought of doing that myself. To me it reads more as an attempt to avoid punishment for not posting enough than anything else.

I think I'm leaning Leech right now. He's basically established that he can't respond to any questions directed at him (unless he gives up the "no more than 3 posts, 3 sentences bit), which does seem a bit convenient for avoiding further prodding. I am also looking at Vompatti for his defense of Leech, but I maintain that his suspiciousness in this scenario hinges on Leech being bad. Thus, Leech is my primary suspect atm.

I think it is odd that everyone is putting so much stock in the "gaining power from votes" thing. That was an idea thrown out there, and now everyone seems to think it's probable. It seems to me that if Vompatti is defending a teammate in Leech, and Leech does have a secret power from votes, his teammates wouldn't want to throw that info out into the thread; on the other hand, if Leech was just a civvie getting a random Day 1 vote out of the way, then the speculation that he gains power from votes is just that, a speculation.

Yay game!

Now as for the options, all of them seem quite dangerous, since one is near the sun, one has something to do with "residents", two may not have portals at all, and the one that definitely does also has the guy who destroyed the earth. So, not a terribly obvious right answer here. I'm thinking Pluto because A. I feel bad for Pluto the ex-planet, B. I like the planet Neptune, which was also mentioned, and C. Hades is my favorite Greek god.

I don't like overthinking Day 0 polls, so I'll *vote Pluto* now.
